Besides the Acworth Companies, and the McDonald Guards, there has been a company just organized for the service es the South in R iswell, with full ranks. At Powder Springs another is nearly- ro ganized, and in Marietta, we have a new one al most ready to be mustered into service. Deposition of Sam Houston. ' lie circumstances attending the deposition of Sam Houston as Governor of Texas, were qu'ffe dramatic, and in some respects ludicrous and comical. The Convention ofTexas, called by the loud voice of the people against the denunciations and opposition of Governor Houston, having pass ed the act of secession, and accepted and ratified the Constitution of the Confederate States prescrib ed a form of oath to be taken by all the State of ficers. This oath included a renunciation of all allegiance to all foreign powers, and especially to the Government of the United States, and declara tion of fidelity to the Constitution of the C. S. A, When the oath was proposed to Governor Houston he peremptorily refused to take it; whereupon the Convention declared the office of Governor vacant, and Lieutenant-Governor Clark, under tEe Consti tution, having taken the prescribed oath, succeed ed to the office. Governor Clark was not slow in entering upon the Gubernatorial functions, and proceeding to the Governor’s office, assumed .the chair and entered upon the duties of the office. By and by, the deposed Governor came hobbling to his office —old Sam’s San Jacinto wound having broken out afresh, a- it al ways does on occasions of political trial Perceiving Governor Clark occu pying the chair, Old Sam addressed him : ‘•Well, Gvuu’nor Clark,” giving great emphasis to the title ; “ you are an early riser.” ‘‘ Yes, General," replied the Governor with a great stress upon the military title of his predeces sor. ”1 am illustrating the old maxim, ” the early bird gathers the worm.”’ “ Well, Governor Clark, I hope you will find it an easier scat than I Lave found it.’ ” I ll try to make it so, General, by conforming to the clearly expressed will us lhe people ot Tex- The General, having brought a large lunch bas ket with him, proceeded to put up numerous little articles of private property, and to stow them away very carefully. Catching his foot in a hole in the carpet and stumbling, the General suggested to Gov. Clark, that the new Government ought to af ford a new carpet for the Governor’s office ; where upon the Governor remarked that the Executive of Texas could get along very well without a carpet. Approaching the washstand, the General called the attention of Governor Clark to two pieces of rtoa p—one, the Castile soap, was his own private property; and the other, a perfumed article, wa the property us the State, and added, ‘•Governor, you.- hands will require the very frequent use ot this cleansing article;” whereufion Gov. Clark,[mint ing to the washbowl, which was full of very black and dirty water, remarked: ‘General, 1 suppose that this is the bowl m which you washed your hands before leaving the office.” Having gathered up all his duds, old Sam made a little f..: .well speech very much in the style of Cardinal Woolsey, declaring his conviction that us in the past, the time would soon come wheu Texas would call him from his retirement, aud he hoped GoV. Clark w.,uld be able to give as good an account cf his stewardship as be could now render. Halting at the door the general made a profound bow, and with an air of elaborate dignity, said, “Good day Governor Clark.” “Good day General Houston,” was the Governor’s response. And thus the “Hero of Sun Jacinto” concluded his political career?— N. O. Deßn. Meeting of Citizens. A meeting of the Citizens of Cobb County was heli this day at the Court House in Marietta■— Hon. David Jrwin was called to the Chair, and Juo. S. Wright appointed Secty. The object of the meeting having been eloqent ly explained by the 1 Chairman on motion of Col. A V. Brum’y it was Resolved that a committee of five, of which the Chairman of thia meeting shall he one, be appointed to report business for the con sir.eratien of the n eetirig. The Committee appoin ted were, Col. A. V. Brumby, Rev. J. M. Daniell, Col. A. A. Winn and Thos. 11. Moore, Esq. The Committee haying retired, the meeting was entertained by A. W. HoleomEe, Esq., in an elo quent and patriotic speech on the crisis, the mag nitude of the object for which the South was con tending, and the duty of every one with regard to it. .The comniitttce having returned, reported the following preamble and resolutions which were adopted unanimously. Whereas. The President of the United States, by refusing to receive Commissioners from the Con federate States, and by notifying the authorities of this Government of his intention to provision Fort Sumter, with the manifest design of inaugura ting sectional war .And whereas, by calling for 75,- 000 troops, by blockading onr ports, and by the most rapid and extensive preparations for war, evi dently intends to qse all the means in his power to subjugate the Southern States: therefore Resolved, That the people of this County will meet the struggle with their full proportion of whatever amount of men and means the State of Georgia, niay be called upon to furnish.-. Resolved, That suitable measures be taken at once, in different parts of the county, to enroll a large number of’Volunteers, to be organized, drill ed and held in repdness tq respond promptly t’o any call from the Confederate States for an addi tional number of troops. Resolved, that a Committee of ten be appointed to solicit funds to be used in uniforming and equip ing such volunteers as may not be able to uniform themselves, and to assist their families during their absence in the service of the country. Resolqed, That this meeting highly apprises of the plan of forming companies of "Silver Grays,” composed of men over 45 years of age, who shall not go into active service for any speeitiid time, but shall arm themselves and meet together from time to time, tor drill or other purposes, and hold them selves in readiness to meet any emergency that may arise in their own county. Resolved, That said Committee shall have power to appoint such Sub-Committees as may be necessa ry to carry the foregoing resolutions into full ef fect. It is further Resolved, That all Committees hereafter appoint ed shall report all contributions received for the purposes aforesaid to the Committee. It is further Reso’ved, that said Committee have full power t<> make all necessary rules and regulations to give effect to the objects aforesaid ; and it shall be the duty of said Committee to make and keep a per fect list of all such families as may be the object of this bounty; and to keep a strict account of all sums received, and fruin whoni, and of all sums paid out. and for what purpose ; and to report the same to the citizens of this county when culled on, The committee appointed under the third resolu tion are, Town District, A. W. Holcombe; Lemon’s J. M, Daniell ; Powder Springs Jonathan L ndlev; Uox’s R. Mobley; Oregon Jno. Dai by ; Acworth A. M. Northcutt; Big Shanty A. A. Winn ; Grit ter R. Lattimer ; Roswell C. Dunwoody; Merritt’s J no. Y. Alexander. The stirring appeal by Col. A. V. Brumby on the threatening attilttlJe of the South, and the im portance of inilita y organization and thorough drill, was felt and fully appreciated by every one present. A paper having been presented for the of such as were willing to Contribute means to the objects contemplated in the resolutions, over tinea thousand dollars were subscribed on the spot, and since the adj mrnment the list is being rapidly aug mented. Indications are thus furnished that Cobb County will not be behind in men or means in the present contest. During the meeting, the McDonald Guards, now organized and ready for service filed in the Court House, and a thrilling speech from the gallant Capt. Johnson, elicited outbursts of applause. O motion the Marietta Advocate and Statesman were requested to publish the proceedings us this meeting. Jno. S. Wright, Feely. D. IRWIN, Prest. Marietta, April 27th 1861.
