Handkerchiefs fluttered in the occasional zephers and wiped the prespiration from the mar ble brows of’|he swtffteriug, surging populace. A.S<M>ling sltowej would by the siurs glorious effiiTgeiiee. But all were careless, merry and happy* bound th enjoy life ill spife Os the weather, and they did. It would be only occasionally that the disapprov ing murmur of-‘Ain’t it warm,” would find its way into more than a thousand throats at once. Everything was as quiet and jicaccaljle be, slipw-, ing that the "anfent’ r was not among the favorite beverages. ARRIVAL OP THE GOVERNOR. As train time drew near the crowd moved towards the depot, to wait in anticipation the arrival of Gov. Col quitt, escorted by the crack company of the State, the Gate City Guards. Detachments of the Rome, Light Guards and Cherokee Artillery, Hie brass band, and-!t coiAmihee 'of citi zens were drawn up on the platform to receive otir distinguished guests. As the train /drew up the immense crowd were all agog with curiosity. The Governor descended, from the coach and was conducted to a carriage, where, in company with Adjutant-General Baird, he was driv en to the Central Hotel/ esCbrtdd by Colonels J. R. Towers, and D r S. Prin tup. After completing his toilet, the Governor and party repaired imme diately to the camp groyuij, whore they were received by Col. C. W. Ander son and st tiff. THE PARADE GROUND. The numerous- arrivals Os t arriagej and buggies kept huge clouds of dust continually hovering over fhc roads leading to the camp, all the forenoon. Fully five thousand spectators were grouped under the shadoof the trees on the outskirts of the parade ground. The ladies, ijtegs oqt in nin»W and gave an attraction and beauty to the scene worthy the beauty of an artist, as they laughed and chatted iu knots and circles, and looked Upon the open ing proceedings with eager interest. The camp and its surroundings pre sented a magnificent scene of peace and war blended in one harmonious union. “ .Till!

R A Holliday. An Outrage. The price the hacks arc charging for conveying passengers to the camp iis outrageous. The -distance is but three-fourths of a mile,at the out side, and twenty-live cents for a single passenger each way is exhorbitant. This very thing makes many- stay away- from the drills and parades who would otherwise conic if the hack fare was tea cents each way. Twenty five cents is not too high for a car riage or phieton, if a man owns a bank or has r;iilroad stock or who is an editor, but fell- the average citizen to pay it is too much and should not be paid for an old rattle-bang hack. Hire a phieton every time if you have to pay a quarter. Goiiitf Ifoiuc. We regret to learn that the Green ville, Ala., Light Guards, one of the best drilled and finest of our visiting companies may possibly leave this morning for their return home. There is a probability o’s their remaining over until Monday, and we hope every effort will be made to have them remain, at least, until the time men tioned. New Baptist ( Imre 11.

Quite a crowd participated in the German last night, at Cohen’s Hall, in the Empire block. The hall was sufficiently crowded to make it pleas ant, and every one present appeared to enjoy i,t. The ladies were dressed elaborately and the gentlemen in uni form, made a scene lovely to behold. The German of last night will ever be remembered with pleasure by all who were present and with regret by those who were absent. A Little Odd. A majority of the military in camps considered it a little odd for Gov. Col quitt, commander-in-chief of the mili tia, to review the troops in a civilian’s dress. When he came here, he laid aside bis civil authority and assumed the soldierly position of commander in-chief, and he and his staff should have been uniformed. This was the only thing that marred the perfection of the review; otherwise it was the grandest display ever seen in Georgia. The Dav We <Jelebr<itc--Jnly 10th. To-day Rowe will have within her limits more people than have ever be fore assembled within her borders. Floyd and surrounding counties will visit the city almost en masse.

Let our citizens do every thing in their power to make (he day pleasant and one to be remembered only with pleasure by every stranger in the city. «,*>STBADE ON A SAFE BASIS! PS'fbeNew York Public, one of our financial and commercial papers, iot sec everything colour de rose ■business at the present moment. Ijs the close of the third half year resumption shows depression in ne branches of business, evidence i t^ccountry tried to recover from mg’prostration by a too rapid pro s. A very large volume ol business gpvoga -s, however. In most dcS linent.-, with generally satisfactory reaction from the ex- ( ■ ■’“'■c'TfT.t Fa ilißt" , ’ycnr has lAw Severe, and possibly we have not seeni the end of it. There has been a great decline of prices, and it is wor th)' of notice that the decline has led to but little commercial disaster, which shows strength. The fail ures that have occurred have generally been to concerns that were engaged in speculation, cr relying upon speculative prices. Where prices have been propped up by business de vices there has been disaster, “and more may be perhaps follow before all the mischief done can be repaired.” As the speculative attempts arc not without a basis, sound business has been maintained where speculation has failed. Late returns show a large volume of business with a very fair increase. The words within quota tion marks above are those of the Pub lic, and betray the existence of some doubt as to jthe future. That paper ends its article with the following sig nificant sentence : “There is a full tide of legitimate business for the season, but there is not full confidence in the future, nor in the advance of prices upon which many operations have been based.” Gen. Grant’s Fortune. From the Hour, t&s a good deal of discussion lias been rife concerning Gen. Grant’s pe cuniary means, it may be interesting to know the exact truth. The entire property of Gen. and Mrs. Grant yields them an annual income of $9,000. During the trip around the world the expenses of the Presidential party w.ere at the rate of $25,000 a year, a se rious encroachment upon the ex-Pres ident’s capital. Luckily, however, young Grant, who lives in New York I and is a director in several mining campanics, speculated so prudently and successfully on his father’s behalf that a welcome addition was made to his income. During the first two months of this year Graid, Jr., made $16,1.00 for his father, mostly in Chrys olite.
