RESPONSE OF THE MAYORS OP THE CITIES OP GEORGIA. We have been furnished by the Committee of Arrangements for the approaching Con vention with the following letters from the Mayors of leading cities of the State, tender ing their hospitalities, respectively, to the ex cursion party of Governors, etc., to leave this city directly after the adjournment of the Con vention: SAVANNAH.

Georgia Railroad Convention. Close of the Festive Season. A Grand Military Ball Given. The Oglethorpe Infantry on the Light Fantastic.* Hospitality of the Citizens. Special Telegram to Atlanta Herald. Augusta. May 15, 1873. The Georgia Railroad Convention met to day, according to adjournment last evening, and, after the usual preliminaries, proceeded to an election. The balloting resulted in the re-election of the old board. After the election, there being no new busi ness before the convention, the body ad journed- MILITARY BALL. The scenes of mirth and pleasure incident to the gayest season Augusta ever saw closes with a grand ball at the Opera House, conducted under the auspices of the Ogle thorpe Infantry, who appear in full uni form. THE OGLETHORPE INFANTRY. The enviable reputation of this company is well known throughout the South. They made a history amid the carnage of many a bloody field during the late war, standing (many falling) in defense of the “storm cradled nation.” It is one of the favorite companies of the city, and is commanded by Captain Wilber force Daniel, an accomplished soldier. “NO REST TILL MORN.” As I write hundreds of the fairest, bravest and wealthiest of this city are dancing to the strains of exhilarating melody dispensed by the Citadel Band of Charleston. Every one agrees that this is the grandest ball ever given in this city. HOSPITALITY. The citizens of Augusta have excelled any thing on record in the way of hospitality, having overwhelmed their thousands of visitors with kindness, causing them to feel at home,” and not like strangers in a strange city.

MISSOURI. The Congressional Convention. St. Louis, May 14. 1873. Several additional Congressmen have arrived* A letter of thanks from the President was read. Letters from other notables were read. Captain Eads, repre senting the St. Louis merchants, read a series of reso lutions. Governor Walker, of Virginia, was chosen President of the Congressional Conference. He made a speech In favor of the Kanawha canal. Resolutions were offered thanking the authorities and citizens of St. Louis for their hospitalities, and that the address be printed in phaxnphlet form, and a copy forwarded to each member of Congress. The Convention is so deeply impressed with the views pre sented, that they deserve the earnest and carefui con sideration of Congress. Adopted. MASSACHUSETTS. Boston, May 15, 1873. James A.
