Miss Julia E. Whitney sang “Only Waiting, and “I'm Alone.** The strains of both these popular pieoes were rendered most beautifully touohiDg by her sweet and highly cultivated vo'oe, sod charming manner, Col. Lowe’s fiddling is more than mortal man can endure, and keep Kill. We have hereto fore expressed our views of his ability in this line. If wa knew what else to say to convey to eur readers e proper appreciation of bis most eEquieite touches, we would say it. And then Miis R. J. Hale’s “Borne One to Love” was so enchanting and captivating.— Tbero were several Incorrigible old bachelors near us—one of whom hastily brushed a tear from his eyes. All of them gaaed in breath less and motionless attention at the fair sing er, and involnotarily heaved a deep drawn sigh as she retired Mr. Nash’s comic song was one of the most marked and attractive features of the whole performance. His manner is bis own and in imitable. We run our mind all over the list of comic singers we ever beard, either North or South, without being able to remember one superior to him Prof. Hanlon sang “Moilie Bawn, and he and Mr. Keeiy sang “All’s well.” That sweet Scottish ballad and the touching straine of “Good night—all’s well,” reached every heart. We can’t describe Barnes end Company’e “Wasn’t thut a drawback F” The only regret we have to express about it is, that Lincoln and the 7tb Regiment were not present to bear it. Lincoln’s proclamation—the fall of Bum ter—the fight at Baltimore—the abandonment of Harper’s Ferry, and the murderous attempt of the vandals to burn Norfolk, the match go ingout, Ac., Ac.,ail came in for a share of the stinging aaroaam of that original piece of “Our Institution.” That Hornpipe, by Mr. Roech, charmed eve ry lover of the terpeichoreen ert. He had his breast covered with the Confederate flag, which made a pretty appearance. He has the use of bis feet, and no mistake. Miae Hale's “Battle Song of the South/ stirred the fires of patriotism, and filled every heart with burning ardor. The applause of the audience could not be restrained, when she repeated the words “Strike, strike for the South ”—“The foe shall fall "—“Land of the South, thy rights maintain, the prise of victory will be gained.” When she closed, she cast a large bouquet to the Grays, and retired amidst unbounded cheering. The Farewell to the Greys was a most ira- pressivs piece. It was sung by the company— was original, and is another of the valuable contributions of “Our Institution.” The Grays all rose up while it was being song. The Misses Whitney sang “Good bye”—that sweet old song. A portion of it was changed to suit the occasion. This was a touching piece. The soldiers wept, end a great portico of the audienoe wee affected to tears. Many eyes unused to moisture, end brave hearts that do not often melt, were suffused and subdued. Frof. Howard, pf. OfEtebruck, and Messrs. Rchoen and HsindIs performed most admira bly on their several instruments. It is worthy o f remark that Prof. Howard played Yankee Doodle and several other important pieces on a penny whistle that he bought in a toy shop. Upon the whole, we think Atlanta is unsur passed by any plaee for musical talents, vocal end Instrumental. The conclusion of Barnes’ original Dixie, and the Tableau of the Soldier’s Return Home, were all that talent and good taste could ac complish. The Atheoeum was jammed to its utmost capacity. Every seal was oooupied, and aU the ovarieble space wee filled with per sons standing up, who wereunablo to get seats, and who remained to the lest, forgetting thet they bed fogs to beoomo weary. The money which had been taken in at the door, and for the sale of tickets, was made up Into a purse—the net proceeds amounting to $215—snd wat presented to the Grays, by Geo. W. Adair, Esq , Id a shdrt speech, as follows: Captain Cooper, and gentlemen of the At Tanta Grays: I bave the honor to present fo you this pur«e»eontpinieg $2$^ the net pro- eepdl of this delightful Cod cert. This, gentle- ffeftd, Is but a Irakis testimonial of Ike high tp preciatfoa which this community bar for yob. Itise well known foot ihohyow mm ne “feaey compeoy."

But, sir, we must soon perl Yon lenvn your homes to go end defend your country as long as there is danger. Your enlistment is fbr Ike war.

At the conclusion of these remarks, Captain L. J. Glenn, on the part of tho ladies of At lanta, presented the Company with a beauti ful stand of colors. In doing so, he said: Captain Cooper, officers, and men of the At lanta Grays: The pleasing duty has been as signed me, by the ladies of Atlanta, to present to you this stand of oolore—among whom aro the wives, sisters, and perhaps the sweethearts of some of your number. They could not con sent that you should go to the field of battle without presenting to you some public testi mony of the high estimation in which you are held by them. Though the ladies cannot inin gle in the active scenes of the ooming strug- gle, they, as did our patriotio mothers, in the days of American Revolution, fee! it to be their duty to do all they can to encourage those who go forth to fight for the Liberty of the South— hence, they present you with this beautiful Flag; not only as a token of their esteem, but as an offering of their patriotic devotion upon the altar of their country, to cheer and encour age jou along the rugged path of duty that lies before you. The history of the world furnishes no par allel to the injustice and wickedness of the which the Administration at Washington is now prosecuting against the people of the South. The pen of the future Historian, when it comes to record the events of the present day, will have e task to perform, at once both mournful and pleasing—mournful, when it re cites the wrongs and oppreaaiont which have boen heaped upon a patient and forbearing people; pleasant, when it writes the firm and united resistance of that people to those wrongs and oppressions. It is true, we have no standing Army upon which our eountry may rely in the bourof her necessity, neither have we Navies or Fiesta but, thank God! the South has within her bos more than a million of freemen, who, like you, are willing to leave their fields, their workshops, their offices, and the sacred desk, and who will defend her to the lsstagainst her unscrupulous enemies. How different the motives and objects which prompt you to fight, from those which actuates the vandals of the North! They fight for con quest end plunder; you, to drive beck an un scrupulous foe, that dares, without cause, to invade your soil. They come to desolate your fields aud lay waste your cities, with the cry beauty and booty,” as their watchword; you go to fight for your homes—your fathers, mothers, wives and children— jour country, and all that honest people hold dear! How ever unequal we be, aa to numbers; though the North may boaat ita twenty milliona to our ten, in such a contest, between men actuated by auch different motivea, can there be a doubt aa to the final raault F “ The battle is not al ways to the strong,” for “ thrice is he armed who bath his quarrel just;” end, so sure as there is a just God in Heaven, vietory will, sooner or later, perch on that Flag—the ban ner of the Confederate State*—the true em blem of Liberty ! Upoo that flag there glitters to-night but sev en stare. Ere long it will have nine; end among them will be ibet of down trodden Ma ryland, the victim of Gubernatorial treachery. In the course of events, you may be called upon to strike a blow for Maryland. Let it be effect ive, and rid the land of Carroll of the last inva der. You go to Virginia, the lend of Washington, of Jefferson, of Madison end Henry—those pure patriots, whoss spirits are now looking down fro.' the battlements of Hsavsn, with intense anxiety, upon tbs struggle for ths Liberties which they bequeathed to us. When you shall reach Virginia's soil, enriched with the blood of her Revolutionary patriots, no other con sideration will be necessary to incite you to deeds of noble daring. But this is not all i You go to Virginia the representatives of the Booth—of Georgia—of Atlanta. The ladiee who have given yon this Fleg, expect every men of you to do your Whole duty. Wherever you go, whatever for tunes betid# you, their earnest prayers will follow you, for your safsty, success and speedy return. Then, sir, in the name end behalf of (he La-< dies of Atlanta, 1 ask you to accept this Flag. Taks it with you.

We are soldiers, not those whose prclaaslon bw teen Ih.t of arm, bur' wSo, In common with thousands and tens of thousands of our fellow-citisens, stand ready to defend us against the world— come the assault from what ever quarter it may. It is not meet, however, thet e soldier should deal largely in words. It is not proper for us, who have not yet tried our maiden blades, to boaat of what we will do. We go not in a a boastful capacity. We expect to show our valor in something mere substantial than words —by acts. By this beautiful banner, which you have given us, we shall conquer or die.— Its beautiful folds may trail upoo the ground; but nOt until the last men of this Company is made to bite the dust. While a living man remains—while there is left a heart to beat- like the brasen serpent—it shall be upheld.— It ebell prove to our brave men a care—a balm to their wounds, and infuse new life into them, which will make them gird on their armor afresh snd rush on to victory or a glorious death. Is there a member of the Grays, or a citizen of the Boutb, that knows such a word as fail F I feel that there is not one. We go to defend the same rights, principles and laws that were consecrated and made sacred by the blood of th" Revolution. Bo far as we may be able, we wil do our duty as soldiers. We go to Old Virginia—the land of Washington and the greatest heroes SLd statesmen that earth has ever picducid— a laud in which Liberty must forever live and flourish, and where tyranny must sicken and die. T *'-fe><d h- j pledge you, ladies and citisenj. that, under the ow of that flag wo will give up our li a My brave men, wherever danger is thickest, there will that flag lead; ami wherever it leads we will follow. I pledge you my word as a soldier snd as your commander, that wherever that flag shall go, I will not staud back and tell you to go. Whenever you wist to know where your Captain is, look for youi flag; and if we all die in its defense, we wil die willingly. holiday soldiers. We have enlist ed for tho war. Our fortunes, our lives, our honor, and our all, are pledged to our cause, and to stand by that flag. If this war lasts fo twenty or thirty years, we will bring back that flag with us at its close, or not a man of ua will return. The audience then retired with three ch> for the soldiers and three more for the ladies of Atlanta. THE DEPARTURE. Yesterday morning nt an early hour, the tents, baggage and other appurtenances be longing the Grays, were brought to the Passen ger Depot, and taken chargo of by tho accom modating and useful Express Company; and large erowds of ladies and gentlemen gathered around, until the whole spaoe was ooe dense mass of human beings, to witness tb parture. When the time drew near for the train to depart, the Company, escorted by the Jackson Guards, Capt. Neal; Georgia Volun teers, Capt. Johnson ; Davis Infantry, Captain Ballard ; Confederate Volunteers, Capt. Forea cre, aod Fulton Blues, Capt Purtell, catne up and halted near the cars in the midst of the vast throng. Capt. Cooper then announced to them that it would be impossible for them all toshake hands with their friends and bid them adieu; but that in token of their esteem for the ladies end citizsna of Atlanta—with best wishef for all—that they might enjoy health, prosperity, end long life, and in the hope of one day returning to greet them all again, the Graye gave three oheers, which was done with will. Three cheers were then given by the cilisens for the Grays. The order to march was then given. They were quickly iu the cars, and the train moved off amid the enthu siasm of the vast throng. May God protect them, and give success to tbeir arms. May they be spared to greet us at homo again ; and may Heaven’s blessings chser aod comfort the hearts that watch for their return 1 irportl TWtfFt*J’k ;«W#iJ*oy Robt. B. Hamilton, Oo*!ge W.

The editor of the Knoxsille Whig is the most horrified man we know of at this time, has discovered a foul plot, by which Andy Johnson, Nelson, Maynard and himself are U be seized, put in irons, and hurried off to Mont gomery, incarcerated in jail, and either tried, convicted and punished for treason, or held hostages to ensure the good behavior of the East Tennesseeans. He fumes and curses at the most terrific rate, and no language save bis own ran convey any adequate idea of the furi ou8 imprecations be calls down on the heads of those who are thus to seize him and drag him away. lie says he knows the plotters in East Tennessee—that they have aiders snd abetters outside of the State, who have been closeted with them, and the details of their plan are agreed upon. No doubt he thinks he is a doomed man unless God delivers hi out of their Lauds : for he calls on the Lord to consume them with tire from heaven as He did Nadab and Abilin ; and threatens that if he ia seized and carried * ft*, incarcerated in Mont gomery jail and executed, e moat horrible ven geance will be visited upon hia persecutors— the Secession leaders—by bis partisan friends. We have no doubt he is insane. It is aad to sec such a vigorous intellect as he has, pros trated—the victim of distorted imagination and and fearful groundless forebodings. Gov, IIrown*n Address. We this morniug publish the address of Gov. Brown to the people of Georgia, offering premiums and honors to such ladies and gen tlemen in the State, as will make the largest contributions for the prosecution of the war, and the comfort of our soldiers. Wo have no doubt the Governor was actuated bv good mo tives in issuing this address; but with all due deference and respect, we do not think such an address was necessary. We are very sure that no person in this community nteds any incentive to spur him or her up to give liber ally to supply the wsuts of our soldiers; and we do not believe the people of any portion of the State stand in need of this or any other kind of encouragement to make them give to the utmost extent of their abilities, or even to the extent of their whole means—only to know the extent of the soldiers’ wants. We are de cidedly of opinion that our Army does not con tain a single soldier who wants, or would ac- pt of any favors or assistance from any man whose donations were given alone under the influence of such propositions as Gov. Brown makes—or any other motive on earth, other than the one named. For these reason# we thiuk the address en tirely unnecessary. not learn m^at charge or speelfieatioo were brought against kirn ; though eonfldeot that he would be restored to ua uesullled by re proaefa. He ia now relvaaed by order of tbo government, but the wrong that baa been per- &'9 ed W*il tf* « 0M uaatoned. With regardto the arreet of Mr. Winaas we Alfifl MMiflfli it was made by general Butler un I cit from Washington to make that arreet.— is not pretended that o current vat issued by y civil authority, upon any affidavit uhatever. l bs act was a pure, simple exercise of milita ry power, and It has aot been, op to this mo ment of time, In in, *i,< ^explained or aton ed for by the Executive. We nnitt, therefore, suppose that Ibe arrest was made by the au thority of the President, and that ibe pro ceeding* haa rac-dred ibe sanction of the At torney General of the Ueited 8tat*f. Jn ter arma silent leges, ia an old maxim, and we suppose that it is the purpose of tome to avail themselves of its promotion. But if the law has loni all its power, it still becomts ns to remember whet it was, sad to state to the publio what safeguards we poseeteed under ibe constitution and the laws brjore our civil rights n ere abrogated by the svord. The constitution of the Uoited States, which tear is now made to uphold, tells us that " the right of the people to be seeore in tbeir per- soN, bonne*, papers and effects, against un reasonable searohee aod seizures, shall not be violated; and that no warrants shall issue but upon probable oauee, supported by oath of affirmation.” And we say plainly, thet the seizure of Mr. Winona by an officer of the army, without the issue of any civil prooees, and his detention In an arnud court by a mil itary power, is as groer, direct, and palpable a violation of the constitution as wee ever committed in the whole history of this coun- try. We suppose that the conduct of Geoeral Andrew Jackson to Judge Hall in 1816 will one day be alleged to have been a sufficient precedent for Ibis set. As ws are under ne political restraint upon tbie subject, we beg leave to say that the arrest of Judge Hall by General Jackson was itself an act of arbitrary power, which was properly punished in the courts of Inw by the infliction of a heavy fine upon the General. .Vnd when, in 1812, ap ptioaiion wa» made to Congress to refund him the money in view of all ciroutnstancea of the case, his most devoted friends and partisans cid not attempt to uphold the legality of ths act which be bad committed, nor did they question the authority of iha court to punish him for hie assumption of illegal authority. Of those who voted in the Senate of the Uuited States against the repayment to Gen. Jackson of the amount of the floe thus impoe* ed, Mr. Crittenden yet remains We truet that the day will soon come when be, ntlenst, reviving his memory of the debate upon Jeck- son's fine in 1842, will denounce in fitting terms the illegal application of martial law to the inhabitants of this State, *|The administration at Washington aught to remember thet they cau best rebuke disorder and revolution by order and adberenoeto law. They at ngthen every hand raised against them, and weaken every bend raised in their support, when they forget for one moment le maintain, for the security of every citizen, all the personal guaranties of the constitution. RKLHASI OF ROZS WINAlfS, Xt<J. Ross Winans, Esq., arrested on Tuesday uigbt, at the Relay House, by order of the ad ministration, was released yesterday, with out even an examination. It appears that tbe charge against him was treason, in having furnished material aid to Virginia. The charge waa founded upon mere rumor, in which there waa no truth. It appears that within an hour after Jiis arrest, he was taksn to Annapolis by special train, and there provided with a com fortable room. On Wednesday a steam tug wae sent for m, and he was brought up to Fort McHen ry, where be was comfortably provided for, and where he was treated with great courte sy by tbo oflioers.

Naiuvills, May 9, 1861 To the Editor of the Richmond Whig : The following extract Is authentic. I en tertain no doubt of the purpose it indiontee: “Virginia ie doomed l Mark that t She ill coiue back into the Union qnioker than she went out. Do you ask how that will be done? I will tell you. More than 800,000 sturdy, determined men in New England and New York have already voted themselves farms there, and they are going on to take posses sion. It will then be an easy matter to vote her back into the Union again.” Tbe above is an extraot from a letter recent ly received from one of the best-informed men the North; and he is really a man of as much nober-mindedoc*« and careful reflect tion as almost any man 1 kuow in New Eng land. He is also a mnn of wealth and influence, and oue whom I have always regarded as very moderate and conservative in bis views. Much of the letter is in the same atrein of threaten ing and defianoe, and shows that ths course ia to be pursued towards all ths sene- ded Slates. The writer of the letter enter tains nothing but tbe kindest feeling*, person ally, toward the person to whom it is writ ten. I tend yon (he extract for any prudent use you may see proper to make of it.
