Colonel C. M. Wiley, of the Second Georgia regiment, is bing pushed by his friends for the place of brigadier general in the volunteer troops. This morning a telegram was sent to Congressman Charles Bartlett at Wash ington requesting him to push the nomina tion of Colonel Wiley for the position of brigadier general. Colonel Wiley has not made an applica tion for the place himself, but would not retuse the appointment were he to receive it. Senator Bacon was conferring with Col onel Wiley this morning, and of course will urge the appointment of the gallant colonel of the Second who has already had four lon-g years’ experience in actual war. Colonel Wiley is acknowledged to be a commander tried and true, and his patri otic declarations that he would go any where his country called him ‘ shows a quality that the army department cannot fail to appreciate. MR. BEAUPRIE Has Severed His Connection With the South ern—Goes to Atlanta, Superintendent W. R. (Beuprfe, of the Southern Railway left this morning for Atlanta, where he will remain for several days, and then go to Hot Springs to stay ■a few weeks. Mr. Beauprie says that he is determined ■now to enjoy a quiet summer and under no consideration will he go into business be fore fall. (He stays that he is going to loaf around, read war news and watch the baseball games. 'Mr. Beauprie has been in the railroad bus iness all his life, and ‘has eimassed consid erable property, which he intends to look after now and take things easy. During his stay in 'Macon he has won a host of friends, who regret to see him go. He says that he 'has not left Macon for good, but that he will return here during the sum mer and see all olf his old friends. This morning the employes of the Southern on Superintendent Beauprie’s di vision assembled at the rounl house and presented him with a handsome chain with an emblemitic fob of Mystic Shriners and Knights Templars. The presentation was made by Chief Clerk J. B. Jemison, and he spoke as fol lows : Mr. 'Beauprie: You have, sir, no doubt, in your long experience as a railroad man often heard this expression used in speak ing of a superior officer, “I wish I could . get a chance to tell him what I think of him.” The expression is not peculiar to railroad men, but it is more frequently used by them than any other one class of em ployes. It is always harmless, as that chance seldom comes, and wnen it doe» the wisher rarely takes advantage of it. But it serves as a safety valve to let off some of his surplus ire; he gets cooled off, goes about his business, and detrmines not to get ‘‘jacked up” again if he can help it. But circumstances sometimes altei cases, and taking courage of the strength of our numbers, we have resolved here and now to say to “your face” that which we have not been afraid to say “behind your back.” At your station it has been your duty to command. It has been our pleasure to olbey. 'With this day the relation of supe rior to subordinate ceases, and we stand before you now as man to man. 'With the existance of the relations now about to come to a close, we were debarred the privilege of ‘talking back,” ever mindful of the fact that it sometimes costs too dearly to give a superior even a small piece of your mind. But our time has come. The occasion is at hand, and we do not hesitate to take advantage of it. We will not leave to other to decide with what “iwlsdom, justice and modera tion” you have dealt with us. Our ver dict is made up, and we stand by it. That it has been in such measure as to command the respect, esteem and cordial friendship o<f every employee on this division, I be lieve each one here will testify. In taking leave of you we deside to ex press to you our sincere appreciation of the uniform kindness and consideration that we have at all times received at your hands, and to assure 'you that when you shall take upon yourself new duties in some other sphere of usefulness, you will carry with you the warm personal friend ship, the prayers and best wishes of the Macon division. As an earnest of this, we ask that you carry with you the little memento that I have here. Some of us have been initiated into the mysteries of the order of which li is the emblem, others of us know not the promise it holds out, but all of us most heartily wish for you every good thing It represents. Since there is to be a complete severance of the relations between us, which, if they have been of no profit to you, have at least been a pleasure to us, there can be no suspicion that we seek advancement at your hands, “And crook the pregnant hinges of the knee Where thrift may follow fawning.” I therefore tender it to you, and believe that I express the sentiment of everyone of your employees when I state that it is with the sincerest regret that we bid you adieu.

CITY HALL WILL HAVEJO WAIT No Improvement Will Be Made on It for the Present. THE EXPENSE Os SMALIPQX Was So Great That Officers Have Decided It Would Be Best to Wait Awhile, The epidemic of smallpox which Macon has just gone through with will, in all probability necessitate the postponement of the execution of the city authorities’ intention to remodel the city hall. This state of affairs is brought about by the enormous expense which the city has been forced to bear in fighting the dis ease, and the city government does not feel that any extra expense should be added to the burden. The cost of the smallpox to the city treasury alone was something like SIO,OOO. To a casual observer this would seem an unreasonable amount, but nevertheless it is a fact. There was money for extra physicians, extra help for the inspectors, pest house, house of detention, guards for both houses, food for inmates, medicine, vaccine points and a hundred little ex penses that had to be borne. The cost to the city to fight the disease, however, was the smallest part of the ex pense to Macon. Thousands of dollars damage was done to business here, and to. remodel the city hall at the present time it would bo neces sary to add to the tax percentage, which the authorities feel would not be consis tent under the present circumstances. All of the members of council oppose the im provements that were proposed on the hall, and it can be stated as a fact that they will not be made just now. HONOR ROLL.

THEV ARE SORE. Georgia Troops Are Incensed at Governor Atkinson’s Course. POLITICAL METHODS Applied to the State Militia Causes Just Resentment Among Geor gia Companies. Atlanta, Ga„ April 30. —Today’s Atlanta Constitution publishes the following with reference to the feeling among the Geor gia troops over Governor Atkinson’s pro posed shake up and reorganization there of: The pleasant spirit of harmony which Governor Atkinson’s proclamation brought to the military men of the state was rudely disturbed yesterday by some surprising de velopments in the military situation. The announcement in the proclamation that the state troops would be kept to gether and under their own officers -where they joined in sufficient numbers, was good news to the ’military men, who had said that they would not volunteer if the present are not allowed to serve. As a result of this promise in the proclamation several military companies over 'the state determined to come to Atlanta to be mus tered in as volunteers. It is said that the Griffin Guards volunteered fifty-eight men out of sixty-three with the understanding that the governor’s proclamation was to be complied with. The governor and the commanders are reported to have declined to appoint the officers in the company, with the exception of the first lieutenant. This brought on a row which will probably keep the company out of the service. The Atlanta Zouaves were to have vol unteered last night, but the news was spread that their officers would not be ap pointed, and this caused members of 'the company to hold back. Other companies are reported to have offered themselves, but when told that their ofificeds could not 'be appointed they withdrew the tender Os services. “It simply means that the governor twill appoint some men as officers who now have nothing to do with the state militia,” said one promient military man. “He will ap point his friends and twill leave out the captains' and lieutenants who have labored for years to increase the efficiency of the state troops. What incentive is left to man to remain with the state troops and work to build up the military, when the gover nor at the time they are needed takes men who are not in the service and sets men aside who ‘have had years of expe riene?” Several officers gathered at the capitoi and inquired as to the plan which 'would be followed as regards the appointment of officers. They said that they understood that all companies enlisting in bodies of over thirty-two men could retain their own officers if they would recruit their compa ny up to the legal, standard. They were told that the governor had a right to re voke the order accompanying his procla mation and that the captains were not to foe "appointed in ay case unless the governor should see fit. The military men who are the most in terested and who are expressing the great est dissatisfaction, say that a complete list of captains and lieutenants for both regi ments has been made out and that the commanders know exactly who the line officers will be. The commanders say that this is not true, and that no selection of company officers have been made except in cases already announced. Several of ficers say that they know who has been selected and that Atlanta will get no oth er commissions. They say that the other captains in Atlanta will be left here, or will be offered lieutenancies, but that an effort will be made to take a large number of the Atlanta troops. There is considera ble complaint that Atlanta should have but one of her captains appointed to the volunteer service. The advocates of Governor Atkinson’s plans insist that he wil have the best of ficers in the entire volunteer army, but the opponents to the plan urge that they cannot be good officers when they have no experience. An effort is beimg made to harmonize the situation, but this will be difficult, it is said, unless the officers now in the state military organizations are ap pointed to command the troops. In fact, it is expected that there will foe consider able difficulty in raising the troops if they are not given their own officers. So far no troops have been accepted with the exception of the Savannah Volunteer Guards. This battalion has been allowed to volunteer as a whole, but it is doubtful if the comapnies composing it retain their present officers in every instance.
