Great Time in Paoll.
Marly this morning the fair ladies, and young
gentlemen of the surrounding country began 10
congregate about the parsonage, conspicuous
among the assemblage was our young teacher,
T. C. Carlton, the happiest of the happy. Soon
nimble fingers were keeping time with nimbler
tongues. So merrily tripped the time along
till anon the dinner hour arrived.
About 10 a. m delegates began to arrive from
the neighboring Granges, an account of whose
meeting will be found elsewhere. At the hour
ot 12 m. the Grange meeting adjourned from
the Grange hall and ladies adjourned from the
-quilt, and all repaired to the table spread in the
enclosure, and there was a repast fit for the oc
casion, where many of the fairest and knightli
est'of the land were assembled.
In the afternoon Capt. J. Bee Kberharfs fine
■cavalry company paraded, and after they had
formed a hollow square tn front of the church
porch and around the crowd, the quilt was pre
sented to Mr. Carlton by Mr. Morton representing
the ladies. Mr. C. responded in hit usual happy
style and wa„ Icudly applauded by the admir
ing crowd. Thus the day was happily ended.
When Chief Justice Holt, of England,
who lra-d been somewhat of a graceless
scamp in his youth, recognizedfan old
acquaintance in a prisoner brought be
fore him, he cautiously questioned him
as to what had become of his old com
rades. He supposed that he was not
recognized by the prisoner, but the re
ply convinced him to the contrary:
“They at e all hanged, my lord, except you
and I.” I
GENERAL COLQUITT’S ADDRESS.
On Wednesday last there assembled in the
courthouse a large audience to hear an address
by Gen’l Colquitt.
A roticeable feature of the occasion was the
presence ot many of the fair sex. The school
of Mrs. Capers attending in a body, headed by
this estimable lady.
On motion of Hon. Robert Hester, the meet
ing was organized by calling Hon. Samuel C.
Starke to the chair, and requesting John P.
Shannon to act as secretary.
The chairman stated the object of the meeting
to be to hear an address on the prominent ques
tions of the day, and introduced as (lie orator
of the occasion “General A. H. Colquitt, Geor
gia’s noble son,famous alike in field and forum.”
Geu’l Colquitt then said he confessed a hesit
ancy in selecting a theme upon which to address
such an audience, composed as it was of young
men and old ones, maids and matrons, gray,
haired sires and children, for it would be diffi
cult to speak ol that which would interest all.
That knowing the importance of the subject,
he could think of nothing that would more di
rectly concern his hearers than agriculture, an
avocation in which three-forths of the people
were engaged, and upen which all were depend
ent for their prosperity.
That in order to interest his heaters upon
such a dry theme, it would be necessary for him
to be practical and speak of that which per
tained to farming, in Elbert county, and not
discourse upon what is known as book-farming,
nor any such nonsense.
The orator then spoke of what he had heard
of Elbert county, complimenting it in highest
terms, and eulogising one of its citizens°who
spent four years of war and blood-shed with
him, in almost fulsome priase.
Turning to the chairman, Gen’l Colquitt asked
if Elbert county was self-sustaining, who an
swered in the negative; and upo.i this answer
the speaker dwelt at some length.
Men and not work through love of labor, but
for ease, and though be had heard some men
say they could not be easy unless engaged, he
considered such remarks as a kind of self-praise,
for the hardest workers looked forward to the
til'ne when their labor shonld end, and they rest
beneath their own vine and fig-tree.
Had heard of the price paid for corn in Elbert
county, and if true, there was not a mart quoted
in the Journal of Commerce, where people paid
as much for this staple as in Elbert county.
The women of uur land are interested in this
question, for how can children be prepared for
and sent through college where parents do not
make a support.
Elbert county will lose its reputation if this
system is not changed, for who can be hospita
ble, entertain his guests and friends with horses
when he has to buy everything placed on the
table or fed in the stable.
VV hen you visit a neighbor the greeting is not
the hearty welcome of “Auld lang syne,” but
the cold, formal one superinduced by an empiy
larder and an unfilled corn-crib.
The saddest thought, said the speaker, to him
was the fact that their failure to make enough
of the necessaries of life was gradually demor
alizing Southern society.
The highest type of humanity is found in the
Southern States,and their manhood was the off
spring of plenty.
Poverty is not the worst evil. Time and
economy can retrieve the adverse strokes of
misfortune, but riches once gone is fled forever,
for wealth cannot sustain character.
Nor yet has Southern character been warped
by the lack of plenty, and to prevent such an
event is my fondest desire. To sustain our
pristine excellence, return to the prosperity of
ante helium days.
The want of prosperity and lack of thrift is
attributable to our not making enough of the
necessaries of life at home.
Mon often accuse their wives of extravagance,
and contrast the cost of dress now to what it
was before, but if all the money men spend for
tobacco and grog were given to the ladies, they
would dress like fairies and have an abundance
left.
The prosperity of Georgia depends upon our
raising herchildren to revive the old homestead,
with its luxuries and its customs.
I welcome any immigrant who comes among
us to labor and improve with his skill and cap
ital oui sunny land, but Heaven protect us from
the tide of new-fangled ideas and notions
sweeping over the land.
Agriculture is the corner-stone of all indus
tries, and with it all professions and avocations
prosper or fail.
With many felicitous remarks and timely hits
the General concluded his address to the evi
dent satisfaction of his audience, and took his
seat amidst a round of applause.
The meeting then adjourned, when many come
forward and shook the General firmly by the
hand, seemingly deeply impressed by his speech
and his cordial manner

GUSHING AND CHOATE.
Old Squire Gerrisb, of Newburyport,
Mass., is a genial soul who has a host of
legal reminiscences. An intimate friend
of Webster, Edward Everett and Rufus
Choate, and a law partner of Caleb
Cushing, ha had a rare opportunity of
collecting anecdotes and details that
are very interesting now While con
nected with Cushing, a time when those
Titans, Cushing and Choate, were on
opposite sides in an important suit. On
the day when the case was called the
court-room was crowded. A battle be
tween such men was a novelty, even in
that epoch of brains. To the amaze
ment of judge, jury and spectators, both
Cushing and Choate were somewhat
anxious for a “continuance”—in other
words for a postponement of trial. As
a usual thing, both gentlemen were al
ways anxious to force a case to trial, be
ing in a state of “chronic preparation,”
as Webster once said in speaking of
Choate. In going out of court, said
Mr. Gerrish, I met Choate, and said to
him:
“How is it that you were ready for a
continuance to-day ? It is a little odd
for you.”
Choate said: “Oh, lam pressed with
business, and can afford to let this case
stand over.”
Said I: “Choate, this is sheer non
sense. I’ll toll you what the matter is.
You are afraid of Cushing.”
“So I am,” was the reply; “and lam
not ashamed to own it either.”
“Well, well,” said I, “this is pretty
good. The idea of Rufus Choate being
frightened. What on earth do you fear,
Mr. Choate V’
“Mr. Gerrish, I will tell you. lam
afraid of his overwhelming knowledge
of law.”
In the afternoon Cushing came into
the office. I went for him at once.
“Caleb, what was the matter to day:
why do you not insist on trying that
case f ’
“Oh,” he replied, “the weather is so
very warm, and wo have so much to
attend to, and I didn’t care to hurry
matters.”
“Now, Cushing, be honest; were you
not a little afraid of Choate ?”
“Wed, Gerrish,”’ said ho, “to be can
did about it, I was. Are you satisfied
now ?”
I then inquired what he feared Mr.
Choate for. “Do you think,” said I,
“that he knows any more law than you
do ?”
“No, sir, I don’t, but I’m afraid of the
rascal’s influence with a jury, right or
wrong.”
And there it was. The two men had
been so often associated that each
knew the others strong points, and felt
timid.
