ADDRESS Or the Committer on Direct Trail* nrsd In»- migraiian of Hie Georgia Slat? Jtjjricni tiara! Coareatioa. 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.” tain A. O. Bacorr. No other nomina 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-] other officers. The election of Clerk being in or der, Mr- Richardson nominated Mr. Mark Harden, of Bartow ; Mr Turn- bull nominated Mr. L. Carrington.— The ballot resulted in the election of Mr Carrington, by the following vote: Carrington, 114 ; Harden, 52. Next in order was the election of a Door keeper. The following gentle men were nominated : A. J. Bowdon, N. P. Tutwiler, L. D- Middleton, Geo. W. Grant, B. H, Miller, B. F. Porter, J. Anderson, J. T. Baxter, G. W. Ty ler. Jesse Odin, C. S. Lunceford, r Perryman, Jyer, Simpson. Mr. Hudson, of Schley, amid some ap plause, nominated the original Bill Arp. Q11 the first ballot the vote for the THE SENATE.

Jones, Simmons and Hud son were appointed a committee to conduct President Trammell to the the stand, anks. Messrs. Kibbee, Lester, Wofford, Hillyerand Nicholls were appointed a committee to prepare rules for the government of the Senate. Mr. R. J. McCamy, of Whitfield, was appointed Engrossing Clerk, and Col. C. J. Wellborn, of Union, as As sistant Clerk. John B. Gumming, of tbe county of Bibb, was elected Door Keeper— receiving 39 votes. A. J. Cameron of Telfair was elect ed Messenger, receiving 40 votes. Tbe Senate then adjourned. 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. SENTENCE OP DEATH. New York, January 6.—After no- four highest candidates was as follows: i tice of exception to the jury’s rulings, Oslin, 44; Miller, 30; Baxter, 21; Ty ler, 21. A member moved that the House Stokes was asked what he had to say why sentence of death should not be passed upon him. Stokes, in reply, confine its support to the four highest said he had not intentionally violated candidates, but Speaker Bacon, with 'any law, and that the testimony upon a keen appreciation of justice, prompt- which be was convicted wafi mamifac- ly ruled the motion out of order, tured and perjured, saying it could be entertained only as a Judge Buardman then, in a feeling suggestion. address, in whicji he alluded to the On the second ballot the two lead- j prisoner’s youth and social surround ing candidates received tho following j ings, sentenced the prisoner to be " ’ ™ hanged on Friday, the 2Sth day of February next, being the shortest time vote. During the ballot Mr. Baxter withdrew in favor of Mr. Miller. The result then stood as follows : Mfifter, 95; Oslio, 45. Mr. Miller was de- that could be legally allowed the mur derer. 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. John B. Gordon, Chairman. James A. Nisbet, C. W.

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.
