THE HOUSE.
The hour for the assembling of the
House having arrived, the caucus ad
journed without making farther nom
inations.
Col. J. D- W addell, former Clerk of
of the House, ascended the stand at
ten o’clock, and called the Rouse to
order. He then proceeded to call the
names of the members, whereupon
Hon. Hugh Buchanan, of Coweta, ad
ministered the oath.
Organization being in order, Mr.
Mercer, of Chatham, nominated Cap-
chair, who, upon ascending tf
made the usual address of tha
Speaker of the Spouse.
The Macon Telegraph & Messen
ger says :
It is with hearty pride and gratifi
cation that we chronicle the election
of Captain A. O. Bacon, one of the
members of the House of Representa
tives fiotn this county, to the position
of Speaker of that body. We know
him to be eminently deserving the
honor, as well as thoroughly qualified
for the performance of ail the duties
of the position. He has shown him
self, during his short public career,
the possessor of a zeal, fidelity, and
ability that have won him high and
well deserved' praise, and we are as
sured that upon the higher plane of
action to which he has been advanced,
these qualities will be even more bril
liantly and honorably illustrated. We
beg to tender him our cordial congrat
ulations, and to thank the representa
tives of the people of Georgia in that
branch of Iter General Assembly for
the compliment they have paid him,
and through him the people of Bibb
county. Re will prove himself en
tirely worthy of it—of that we ven
ture to speak as confidently as if the
record had already been made up.
We heartily endorse the above re
marks of our neighbor of the Tele-
graph. Mr. Bacon is gentleman of
great ability and will do honor to the
country in the position of Speaker, aud
his election over such an able and
worthy man as Mr. Anderson of Cobb,
is, indeed, a high compliment to our
section of the State.
A Splendid Reception.—On New Year’s
night a reception was given at the residence of
Col. James M. Ball, on McDonough street, chief
•7 in honor of the charming bride of Col. Z. D.
Harrison. The house was brill antly illuminated
Mr*. Ball. assisted t v a 'number of the promiient
iadits ct tho city, received with Mrs. Harrison —
All the arrangements were complete, tho table
admirable, and the social enjoyment a success.—
The hours of recepiion were from 7 to 11 P. M.,
during which time hundreds called. We take oc
casion for the Constitution to wish the married
couple not simply a happy New Year but a life
long felicity.
We clip the above from the Atlan
ta Constitution of Thursday, and heart
ily say “honor to whom honoris due,”
and most Feelingly reiterate “a life long
felicity.” May the new hopes and
bright anticipations of our gallant
friend, bud and blossom through the
morning of this changeful scene, and
bear ripe fruit in the eternal day.
Clerk of the House.—The At
lanta Sun says, the election of Mr.
Carrington, of Baldwin, as Clerk of
the House, is a most excellent selec
tion. Mr. C. is well qualified for the
position, both by reason of capacity
aud long experience in the past—he
having ffiied tbe same position several
times heretofore.
The Presbyterian devotes a portion
of its editorial space to the subject of
“baptizing with all modern improve
ments.” It says of the ceremony that
when men become careful of their
own comfort, when either administer
ing or receiving baptism, that its pow
er ia gone. “Think,” says the editor,
“of Paul and Silas culling for their
boots before they could comfortably
baptjze the jailor, at midnight, in the
prison at Philippi ! Think of John
the Baptist coming from the wilder
ness of Judea with a pair of baptismal
pauts, made to order, in his baggage !
Better the raiment of camel’s hair and
the leathern girdle, by the wild shore*
of Jordan, than the finest marble bap
tistery and the most ample water-proof
Clothing.”

tions were made, and the House pro
ceeded to ballot. Capt. Bacon \va3
unanimously elected by 153 votes.
ADDRESS OF SPEAKER BACON.
M essrs. Murphy of Harris, Anderson
of Cobh, and Iloge of Fulton, were
appointed a committee to conduct
Captain Bacon to the chair. Ascend
ing the chair amidst considerable ap
plause, Captain Bacon spoke as fol
lows :
Gentlemen of the House of Representa
tives—I thank you mo3t sincerely for
the bonor a you have so kindly bestow
ed. Appreciating, as I do, the digni
ty of this high office, and not unmind
ful of the difficulties which accompa
ny it, I will rely on a continuance ©f
your kindness to assist me in difficul
ties which will arise, and to forbear
with me in the errors which must be
unavoidably committed.
It shall be my constant effort to
discharge the duties of this position
with earnestness, with fidelity and
with impartiality to all. Though not
unaccustomed to public speaking, I
am so oppressed with a sense of my
obligations to you, and of the respon
sibilities of this office, that I cannot
address you as I would, but I trust I
may endeavor to impress you with
one thought.
We stand in a solemn position—one
of great importance. In accepting
from our constituents the positions of
Representatives, we undertake grave
responsibilities. We are ?not here for
personal aggrandizement, nor for the
enjoyments of social life, but for tbe
discharge of a high trust confided to
us.
It depends on our action here, in a
great degree, whether or not our State
shall be prosperous at borne and hon
ored abroad, or whether there shall
be difficulties at home, and dishonor
abroad. Careful, considerate legisla
tion will promote our prosperity ;—
hasty and inconsiderate legislation will
conduce to the opposite extreme. The
one is like the rain and sun in spring
time, causing the earth to blossom in
to beauty, while the other is like the
simoon which converts the smiling
oasis into the arid desert.
Let us be impressed with the digni
ty of the duty before us. Let us for
get past divisions, looking only to the
honor and prosperity of Georgia. If
we are divided as tl?e waves, let us al
so be one as the sea !
I invoke at your hands a careful
consideration of the duties before us.—
Yearning to lift up our mother State
from tbe dust, emulating each other
in devotion to Iter interests, inspired
by the bright examples of her honor
ed living and illustrious dead, let us
address ourselves to the work before
us, not with hesitation and careless
ness, but with zeal, earnestness and fi
delity. [Applause-]

OCMULGEE.
How Stew Year's Say was Spent
at the Capital.
[From tbe Atlanta Constitution, 3rd inst.]
The heavy fog which covered our
city like a pall, from daylight until
about twelve last Wednesday morn
ing, and tbe threatening appearance
of the skies, considerably hampered the
order of many of our New Year call
ers. Fortunately for them, however,
the Heavens assumed a more cheerful
aspect towards the afternoon, and by
night were almost clear. Consequent
ly, towards evening, the visiting be
came much more general. Our young
men have a regard for good clothes
that is almost pious, and while they
always have one eye for the ladies,
they always keep the other upon their
own appearances. By fouro’cloek in
the afternoon, the front gates of the
residences of our Belles were beseiged
with vehicles of every conceiveable
description, ox carts excepted, and
New Year visiting had commenced in
good earnest.
Owing, perhaps, to the reason above
given there were scarcely more than
half our usual number of young men
out calling, and about an equal num
ber of young ladies .receiving. Still
there were sufficient of both to render
the day very delightful to all interest
ed. The hospitable doors of the Exec
utive Mansion were open all day, and
many were the people that found their
way therein. The visitors were en
tertained with a degree of elegance
that we hare seldom witnessed. The
parlors of most of our ladies receiving
were adorned with evergreens and ce
dar in charming taste, often display
ing appropriate mottoes, and words of
welcome, showing that pretty hands
had, the day before, done quantities of
pretty work. Refreshments met thp
visitors everywhere in the utmost
piofusion, and in the utmost variety,
and were urged upon them so sweetly
and so irresistably by the fair enter
tainers; that it will always remain a
matter of surprise to us that sundry
young gentlemen, of whose capacities
to destroy provisions the ladies re
ceived the most unmistakable demon
strations, have not since foundered.
We hardly know what we can or
ought to say about the ladies, them
selves. We take it as an admitted
fact that nothing in the realms of art
or fancy can furnish a vision half so
pretty as a pretty lady in a pretty
costume. These were to be found
everywhere w-e went, and we really
do think that the young men of Atlan
ta ought to be proud of their ladies.
During the evening there were two
receptions on McDonough street. A
number of young people were assem
bled at William Rustou’s—though
this was only an extension of the day’s
reception—and did not depart until
quite a late hour. A very large and
elegant reception came off at the
mansion of Col. J. M. Ball, in honor of
Mrs. Z D. Harrison.
We record with pleasure the fact
that our young men were very ab
stemious, and drank but little wine.
By reference to The Constitution’s
dispatches it will be seen that praise
worthy efforts to dispense with wine
during the day, were made at the
National Capitol.
We did see one young man at rath
er a lute hour in the night meandering
down Whitehall street in a manner
somewhat vague and undecided, but
as be said that he was “only suffering
from too much coffee,” he, of course,
furnishes no exception to our remark.

Savannah, January 3, 1S73.
During the session of the Georgia
State Agricultural Convention at Grif
fin in Auguq£ last, the undersigned
were appointed a committee under the
following resolution, submitted by
General J. B. Gordon, Chairman of the
committee, to take into consideration
the recommendations contained in
Commodore Maury’s address:
“Resolved, That a committee of sev
en be appointed to prepare an address
to the planters, farmers and mechanics
of the seven Stzrtes south of the paral
lel of 35 deg. north latitude, on the
subject of Southern Immigration an 1
Direct Trade, to call a Convention of
the same in the persons of their repre
sentatives, to meet at Augusta, on the
second Tuesday in February next.”
In pursuance of this resoljij^on, we
herewith call upon the plantiT^ farm
ers and mechanics of the States of
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Al
abama, Mississippi, Louisiana and
Texas, as well as upon the commercial
centres of Charleston, Savannah, Mo
bile, New Orleans and Galveston, to
meet the Georgia State Agricultural
Society in Convention at the time and
place above named, for the purpose of
bringing about, if possible, an united
and general action on the part of the
Cotton States in furtherance of the
great objects for which this committee
was appointed.
And inasmuch as our future is in
many important respects intimately
connected with the prosperity of the
! Great West of our Union, we likewise
cordially invite the'Chambers of Com
merce of Chattanooga and Nashville,
and of the great centres of tradg of the
South aud West, especially those of
Memphis, St. Louis, Louisville aud
Cincinnati, to send delegations to as
sist us by their counsels in further
ance of one of our objects—t?ie fos
tering of an increased Southern trade
with Europe, and one in which the
West itself is deeply interested.
Since the war which swept over our
common country, various and earnest
efforts have been made to secure for
us a portion of that immense foreign
immigration which has built up ti e
East aud West of the Union. But as
tiiese efforts were of a desultory char
acter, lacking the weight which com
bination gives to every undertaking,
tbe results, though in themselves flat-
tering, have had no effect upon our
material welfare. Georgia, within the
past few days, has, at Macon, inaugu
rated a movement which it is hoped
will receive the full and cordial sanc
tion of her Legislature, and which
would secure, as far as Georgia is
concerned, a beginning of foreign im
migration and trade to her shores up
on a permanent and substantial basis.
But Georgia looks farther into the fu
ture than merely to seek to draw
within her borders a few thousand
immigrants and a score of steamers
to her ports per annum. She feels
that her greatest future prosperity is
inseparable from that of her South
Atlantic and Gulf sister States, con
tingent upon unbroken rail and water
communications with the centres of
trade of the far' West, with Mobile,
New Orleans and Galveston. In meas
ure as these portions of our country
will prosper, she will prosper; since
alike by a happy geographical posi
tion, a mild climate and untold re
sources, she furnishes through her
harbors the surest, swiftest, ar.d cheap
est opportunity for the West and
Southwest for direct intercourse with
Europe. A great and important
movement is already in progress tend
ing to this happy consummation, in
which the West and Southwest are
alike deeply interested—the project
of the Atlantic and Great Western Ca
nal.
Actual experience has shown that
the establishment of foreign immigra
tion to our shores is by no means an
easy mattur. Prejudices abroad have
to be removed; we must make our
selves known, and the great induce
ments and advantages which our
Southern country offers.. We think
that a combined effort for these pur
poses would be most likely to lead to
the desired end, and for this we wish
to meet for counsel, leaving it to the
several States to carry out the details
abroad.
Nor is the West entirely free from
interest in the matter of Southern im
migration. We even think that the
West should encourage, instead to dis
courage immigration through our
ports. We must ever, in a great
measure, remain the cotton growing
country of the world. Wijat we need
to compete with India in the cotton
markets of the world is the opening of
innumerable small farms, a grejatly en
hanced production of cotton by small
farmers upon their own lands. On
the other hand, as we increase in pop
ulation, the West will i-nc.rcase in cash
paying customers, for it is certain that
as a cotton growing section we mast
continue to draw our provisions large
ly from that quarter. The Western
farmer is not a money making man.
His remuneration almost entirely con
sists in the increase of the value of
landed property by the immense im
migration annually pouring into his
section. The Southern small farmer,
on the contrary, with no increase in
the value of his lands, is by means of
cotton sure to be able to lay by some
thing every year. A Southern immi
gration aud an unbroken and rapid
communication of the West with the
South Atlantic seaports, would there
fore tend greatly to increase the
wealth of the Western farmer.
There is another aspect which, it
appears to us, makes it desirable that
by joined action the West and South
should hasten to establish a direct
Southern trade and immigration.
Twenty-five millions of Americans
now pay unstinted tribute to the East
At the expense of the South and West
a huge commercial wealth and prepon
derance has been established, which
quickly aud surely is progressing in its
ulterior aim of imposing eternal com
mercial impotence upon two thirds of
our common country. This commer
cial preponderance also moans political
power. Hence, too, a vast amount of
our agricultural products, &nd of the
labors of the Western and Southwest
ern larmer, is absolutely unrewarded
toil ! Already the arms of this mon
opoly are seeking the sole possession
of all lines North and South; let u»
likewise seek to counteract it by
the establishment of lines East and
West.
Yet such, from late statistics, is the
recuperative power of this Southern
country, that despite this Eastern com
mercial supremacy and the lack of
cheap transportation aud communica
tion with the West, we not only have
maintained the figure which Southern
direct trade had reached in 1S60, but
that we in IS70 had augmented it, and
in 1572 it must be much greater than
in 1S70. T11i8 is encouraging, when,
without any effort on the part of the
South, the natural resources tempted
foreigners to come to us to buy our pro
duce; but such a sort of recuperation
can be but slow, and would, in the
rapid development of this age, leave us
far behind in the race. It is then to
hasten this prosperity, to meet you in
true American fellowship and broth
erhood, that we may take counsel
together for the common weal of our
country, that the Georgia State Ag
ricultural Convention lias appointed
us to cordially invite you to send full
delegations of your best men.
We may, in advance, assure you
that everything will be done for the
comfort and entertainment of our visi
tors by the citizens of Augusta and
ourselves.
It is requested that the names of
delegations be forwarded by the 1st
day of February to Col. Barnett, Sec
retary of Georgia State Agricultural
Society, Atlanta, that proper arrange
ments for their accommodation may
be made.
The press of the country is earnest
ly recommended to give to this call
that circulation which the importance
of the subject demands.

Tivo armies covered hill and plain
Where Rappahannock’» waters
Ran deeply crimsoned with the stain
Of battle's recent slaughters.
The summer clouds lay pitched like tents
In mead*i of heavenly azure ;
And each dread gun ot the elements
Slept in its hid embrasure.
Tho breeze so softly blew it made
No forest leaf to quiver,
And the smoke of tha random cannonade
Rolled 6lowly from the river.
Aud now where circling hills looked down
With cannon grimly planted,
O’er listless camp and sileut town
The golden sunset slanted ;
When on the fervid air there came
A strain, now rich, now tender,
The mug*: seemed itself a fiame
With day’s departing splendor.
A Federal band, which eve and morn
Played measures brave and nimble,
Had jnst struck np with fiqte and horn
And lively clash of cymbal.
Down flocked the soldiers to the banks
Till margined by its pebbles,
One wooded shore was bln* with “Yanks,”
And one was gray with “Rebels.”
Then all was still ; and then the band
With movements light and tricksy,
Made stream aud fore*t. hill and strand,
Reverberate with ‘Dixie.”
The conscious stream, with burnished glow,
Went proudly o’er its pebbles,
But thrilled thronghout its deepest flow
With yelling of the Rebels.
Again a pause, and then again
The trumpet pealed sonorous,
And Yankee Doodle was the strain
To which the shore gave chorus-
Tiro laughing ripple shoreward flew
To kiss the shining peb' leg —
Loud shrieked the crowding Boys in Bluo
Defiance to the Rebel*.
And yet once more the bugle rang
Above the stormy riot ;
No 3hout upon the evening rang—
There reigned a holy quiet,
The sad, lone stream its noiseless tread
Spr ad o'er the glistening pebble* ;
All silent now the Yankees stood,
All silent stood the Rebels :
For each responsive soul had heard
That plaintive note's appealing,
So deeply “Home, Sweet Home” had stirred
The hidden founts of feeliug.
Of blue or gray, the soldier sees,
As by the wand of fairy,
The cottage ucatb tbe live-oak trees,
The cottage by the prairie.
Or cold or warm hi* nativo skies
Bend ia their beauty o'er him :
Sending the tqar.mist in his eye*—
The dear ones stand before him.
As fades tho iris after rain
In April's tearful weather,
Tho vision vanished as tbe strain
And daylight died together.
But memory, waked by music’s art
Expressed in simph-st numbers.
Subdued the sternest Yankee’s heart,
Made light the Rebel's slumbers.
And fair the form of Mnsic shines,
That bright, celestial creature,
Who still ’mij war’s embattled line*
Gave this one touch of nature.
