At 12 o'clock to-day, an extra traiu by the Atlanth Ac Went Point Rail Road, brought to our cilp*. tfco •>* Maw— ftneeds Cspl Mmmvop * —composed of 80 men. Thia line company arrived amidst alirring martial aiuaic aid firing of cannon. Under eacort of Copt. W. T. Wil- sou, of the Fulton Dragoons, they paraded in line in frout of the Atlanta Hotel, and were re- oetved i« i patriotic speech by the (Ion. L. J- (tartreli, which waa elegantly responded to by Col. Ilendricka, of Newnan. They were then invited by Dr. Joseph Thompson, mine host of the Atlanta, into his house, where a sumptuous repast was served up for them, to which they did ample justice. At one o'clock, the State Road train, with two companies—(be Ringgold Volunteers—S3 men— under Capt. H. J. Sprayberry, and the Cartera- ville Guards—81 men—under Capt. Larey. At 11 P. M., 223 youug ladies of the Atlanta Female Institute, came in a body and were formed iu *a line on the East side of the At lanta Hotel, under the management of Professors Mayson and Howard The Gate City Guards had been previously formed in line in front of where the young lad es were stationed. Each young lady had a small flag of the Confederate States, mode of paper cambric, with the “bars'' and “stars” beautifully printed thereon. Each dag also had the inscription—“From the Young Ladies of the Atlanta Female Institute. None but the brave deserve the fair.*’ Miss Kane, on the part of the Ladies, made a lew appropriate remarks, when all the young ladies in a body, stepped forward and presented to each member of the Guards one of the very beautiful minia ture flags which they held in their hands. Three cheers for the Ladies of the Female Institute, were given with a hearty good will, by all who were present, and then three more were given by the crowd for the Guards. At this point there was a call lor the Hon. T. R. R. Cobb, who was present, and he, in re“ spouse, came forward and made a most felici tous speech. We are sorry to be unable to lay before our readers a copy of this most excellent speech. After he had concluded, u large num ber of the relatives, acquaintances and friends of the Guards bid them an affectionate farewell. This was, indeed, an aflecfiug scene. At 2 o'clock, all the soldiers had taken thei seals in the cars, and the train of the Macon & Western Road moved off with thirteen passen ger cars attached, amidst the booming of can non, and the cheering and shouting, of the unnumbered throng, and waving of handker chiefs by the ladies from the windows and bal conies contiguous. The greatest gathering that was ever wit nessed in this city took plaee. to witness their departure. The Trout Ilouse, Atlanta Hotel, Concert Hall, Depot*, Carsheds, tops of curs— and indeed every available space, was crammed with living mnsscs of men, women and chil dren—all eager to see and to cheer the depart ing soldiers. Many are the prayers that follow them to their destination. Mauy are the tears that were shed ut parting with them, aud many anxious hearts will sigh lor their safe return, with peace and plenty smiling again over our happy land. conduct aJ$p vary much remind! after having given That Flag.

On one side of the blue field ie inscribed: “Gate City Guards, from the Ladies of Atlanta. 1801.” On the reverse is, “In Hoc Signo Vinces,” (by this sign you shall conquer.) The iu** scription ou either side is surrounded by sev en gilt stars. The Stsff is an elegant piece of workman ship, and was made and mounted in the Slate Railroad shop. The spear was forged by Mr. Thomas Hai- ney, and finished by Mr. Jacob Staddleman, and the whole presented to Miss Il&nleiler by Mr. John II. Flynn. Tlie Cowardice of the Lincoln Adralnla- tion. Tho telegraph states that President Lincoln has appointed a United States District Judge for Northern Alabama. If we hear that the said Judge haa been permitted to enter upon his duties by the people, we may safe! elude that the back of the Southern Coni ny ia broken, and that it is not sustained by- Alabama. We clip tho foregoing from a ( uati paper. Since our remarks on the subject of loyalty to Government, in our issue on Thursday last, in which we alluded to the nomination of Georgo W. Lane as Federal Judge in Alabama, we leara, from what we have seen in the papers, and from private sources, that he has sought this appointment at the hands of Lincoln, and that he has been confirmed as such by the United States Senate. We see, In the newspapers, that he proposes holding his first Court at Athens, Limestone county, Alabama. We are informed, private ly, that old Madam Bates, Lincoln’s Law Offi cer, iu tendering Lane this office, informed him that tho Black Republican Government, to which he clings, would not exactof him the attempt to hold Courts, but would require of him to flaunt this Liucolu commission in the faces of the people, and draw the pay of a Federal District Judge. Our readers will recollect that we, a few days ago, published an extract from a letter written by a Southern lady in Waahington, in which she asserted that Lincoln was a coward. His conduct, in appointing a man to a Federal office in our midst, where everybody knows the duties pertaining to the office cannot be discharged—and not even requiring suoh du- ties at bis hands—simply because he has found a mao vile enoUgh to be bought up with Federal gold, Is conclusive evidence of the most sneak ing eo ward ice la him and his AdoMoistraiiot. lie greatly mlsappreoiates the Southern peo ple, if he thinka to mollify them and win them to kia hate/kl embraoe, by lavishing gold upon a traitor among us. wardly hoy, ioftlt to one of hie ij^ool mates, dart not eome 1^1 late lh« prqoenhe offcim wkemkv I 5? sUada off .1 a safe diatnccoAud mail ■M.the. Lincoln d4» not • OMupj, h<4? and pMMM the for to end other proporly ef the United State*” among Uf, *• he boasted ' would do; but he steops down to the lo bred, low flung conduct of a paltroon, i will keep out of harm’s way and grin at antagonist. Lately he appointed a coaple of Black He publican mail agents in Virginia, which asperated the people of the country Ihrouj which they traveled, that they rose up, almost en matte, and forbale them coming into their precincts. One had resigned in a fright, and the other was about doing eo, at last aeoouaU and Lincoln had determined to make no more appointments in that State, till after the ap proaching election, which comes off in May- then to make a cleau sweep. I a the mean* time, in order to conciliate Virginia, he has sent a meisenger to Mr. Summers, of that State, to offer him the appointment of Judge of the Supreme Court, (that plaoe which be did uotgive to Crittenden, and will not give Summers.) None but base hearted malignant cowards will stoop to low, mean, petty annoyances, when foiled ia any undertaking; but such he has shown himself to be. We appre hend, however, that our pesple will not be much annoyed by Lincoln’s office holders there is no better way to rid ourselves of them, there are plenty of limbi protruding from oak trees in our forests, a little higher than man’s head, and strong enough to bear a man weight for half an hour. Hickory bark peel, and grape vines bear tw isting, in a few days. We hare plenty of other plans of rid ding ourselves of such annoyances, which ways we will adopt first; but if all other plana fail, the one above indicated will be inflictad, and no mistake. The Cincinnati paper is correct in supposing the back-bone of our Confederacy would be bit)' ken if Lane were allowed to enter upon h duties. That, however will not be permitted. Equally cowardly is the conduct of Lincoln, in relation to the Forts within our Confederacy, He and his advisers were loud mouthed in their denunciations of Buchanan for not making on us, and in their threats t> punish treason and crush out rebellion; but since he and they have the reigns of government, the same course has been pursued by them—only in a manner and under circumstances that exhibits i cility and cowardice of the deepest dye. Lin coin has not the courage to strike the first blow towards reinforcing the Forts whero United States troops still remain, or retaking those that we have seised, or even to take a singf step in tbat direction—neither has he the bood in him, necessary to cause a prompt drawal of the troops from places he knows he can neither hold nor reinforce. AH the while he has been pursuing a vacillating, cowardly course, which is no doubt intended to be tanta lizing to us. He has been giving out every few days for nearly a mouth, that Fort Sumpter would be evacuated, and still it lie is afraid to make war on us, but desires to drive us into the first act of war, or to vex us as long as we will bear it without resentment. This is evidently his policy, which one of tho characteristics of brave manhood, but is base and cowardly. “ 1/ I cant whip you, 1 can make ugly faces at your sister." propose that our forbearance have a speedy ter mination. The Nashville llanner. The most impudent, crazy rant that we eve saw in the South, is perpetrated by the Nash ville Banner in speaking of Jefferson Davis and the Governmout of the Confederate States. He advises “that vile traitors, such as h had better be looking out for a safe retreat,” “from an indignant and outraged people.” The editor says Davis “ ia as preud and as vain as Beelzebub”—that he (Davis) has been pro ducing discontont and teaching treason as long as we (the redoubtable editor of the Banner) can stand it”—oalls him a “ vile conspirator “ vile rebel!" inflated bigot!—is “ on the road to the gallows!!” Daree him to “ attempt to subdue the Federal Government or fire at Fort Sumter or any Fort”—that he “ is as sure to be hung as that the sun will rise to-morrow l ning, unless he runs liko a coward to a country beyond the reach of Tennessee,” and assorts that Tennessee could subdue the “ whole Cot tonocracy in a short time.” This is more like the foul slang of Charlos Sumner—the vituperation ot Josh Giddmgs— the impudence of Fred Douglas—tho mad ra vings of Wendell Phillips—Ihe venon of Wm. Lloyd Garrison—the balderdash of Horace Greeley—the vain boasting of Henry Ward Beecher, and all the set slang of the Abolition crew, than anything we ever saw coming from a Southern man. Helper, of “ Impending Cri sis” notoriety, could not equal that wero he to try the remainder of his days. _y5W* The Louisiana State Convention ad journed sine die, on tho 26th ultimo, after adopt ing the Permanent Constitution by nearly a unanimous vote. Texas has also adopted the Constitution. The adoption of it by one more State, is necessary to establish it between the States so ratifying. We have no doubt that South Carolina and Mississippi will ratify it in a very few days, if they have not already done so. Florida will, also, as soon as her Con vention meets. No people on earth should be afraid of suoh a Constitution ; and we are of opinion tbat all objections to it it are selfish and captious to a greater or less extent. Personal.

[Laughter.']— 1 would merely pursue the honored custom of my ancestors in thanks—If I could be permit ted fo do so without df.soourtsey to you. But as 1 have been-induced by a gentleman whom i see in the diui perspective gloating over the result of his persuasive eloquence, 1 can only, with very faltering tongue and with a very fu'l heart, return lo you all my very grateful thanks, for the oompliment tbat yon have done me—no. only in invitingme hereto night, but in singling mo out to do * hat would be more properly done by some of the gentlemen whom I see here before me—(the reporters) —to return thanks for the Press. Gentlemen, when I was coming over, the other day, across the Atlantic, which I am sorry to say is not a very pleasant medium of communication in the month of March with the United 8tates, [laughter,] a very unfor tunate bird was driven, iu gloom and ohsouri- ly of night, to find refuge in tho mate’s breast. Whsu the intelligent Bailor carried it- down just as we were going to bed—he brought it to us saying, “It is a parrot.” A young lady asked very naturally, if it oould speak?— When told that it could not, she said, very pro perly, I suppose, then, it is a Booby. [Laugh- te r .] Gentlemen, I am afraid that, in the fear of me ladies, or those intelligent that belong to our owu sex, I ha' 1 cannot speak under the name of Booby. [Laughter.] But at the same time, 1 shall not serve you as the bird did one of our uufortunate passengers — 1 shall not Lite. [Laughter.] It has been my un fortunate lot, iu the scenes through which my name has been known—iu which 1 take no pride indeed—it has been my fortune to bo rather a stormy petrel (ban a boobv. 1 have swept over the oceen where blood has been cast out as water, hut I hope, gentlemen, and I trust, and I believe, that there is nothing iu this country which should give rise to the shedding of blood [Applause] Gentlemeo, believe me, by the Press—the Press wherever it be found—the Press will find its freest de- elopment and it largest life, and itt* most lib eral interpretation in the land where freedom of opinion is founded upon the largest bisis. [Applause.] But all who are childieu of the Press, great andsm-il), in England, shall grieve deeply indeed when our arguments are set it naught, and if all our words fall dead aud listless—seeing the opposition of the two great parties where we hoped to find unanimity — Surely it is not lo be the office of the I*re-s to chronicle their termination and destruction. Purely it is not to be the cane in England, in France, in Germany, when the voice of the press is raised to advocate the extension of the suffrage aud franchise, that they are to be met by tho voice ft hich shall say, "All your perimenls and all your arguments are fallen, J are baseless and without foundation.” [Applause.] However, geutieuu-u, Icomouot here lo night lo speculate upon theories of government. 1 am uot here— an i indeed, with the contending views around me, l should be more than mortal if I were able to penetrate kernel of the very difficult lul, with a very rugged, angular surface, presented to me. 1 shall describe the nut, and a very con siderable and extensive one it is, and a very difficult one to crick. [Laughter and ap- plauso] 1 was pointed out as one to take notes, 1 hope for general circulation, [laughter,] and [ promise to nothing extenuate ar.d to set down aught in malice. [Applause ] Thus, gentlemen, I will not say that you are a pack of “drunken fools, who grow idiotic in your prosperity, and have committed national sui cide.” These were tho words used by one of your speakers (Mr. Gerard) to night. 1 be lieve, gentlemen, that the pen has not been grown upon the back of a gooso that ia Lo re cord the fact that you have grown foolish iu your prosperity of the United Slates—rich iu he development of every fruit tlmt human go- tius and industry have cast their sun upon, and have committed national Hiu.

[Laugh ter and applause.] 1 am an Irishman by birth, but presenting myself here before you ns an Englishman, with a stripe of Irish tendencies. [Applause.] But nothing would grieve my heart, or the hearts of Englishmen all over the world where is sought the development of the policy of self government-nothing oould grieve us more than the realization of the fact of the inevitable dissolution of the American Union. For God’s sake preservejiurope from that dis grace. When we would free Italy and Hun gary, and Boland and the nationalities of the world, let men not be enabled to say, you have failed ; bullet your potent accomplishment of facts strike a blow for the liberiy of mankin I on the other side of the water.

If I can judge by the Crimea, by the storming of tbe heights of Al ma. by that great achievement of the 6th of November, when a small ban^ of British sol- iitrs—honor them you must—met those em battled boats of Ruseia, lo hurl them dew*— if I can judge of the bloody charge of Ualakla- va. of the Foerlh Dragoons, of the Fourth Royal Irish, oad oqr own Hussae ia the light charge, I believe that though otbere may fail, the Web soldier will do his duty to bis native land.
