Col. Holbert arose, and alluded lo the fact
drat for the first time the Press were together
lo eoasult on II-.J practical interests of the
State; said that they bad seen for themselves
Georgia’s resources, and now they must
swakeathe people to the importance of (heir

“Press of Georgia”—May ii sustain all dibits

Mr. Clisby then made a speech of senti
ment. Among other things he used the fol
lowing language:
Our Governor. In compliment to os, has, m
it were, become one of ourselfes. At very
great personal inconvenience,' he has accom
panied us on our tHp. When wc left ho re
marked tome that he knew not how long he
coaid continue with us, but lie was reluctant
to leave us as long as he could contribute to

Mb. Editor : It is said that Gen
Butler has been invited to the State
Fair to be held at Macoo this fall.
Can it be true? and if Inis, lor what?
Can it be an exhibition ot that truly
Christian spirit bjr the Executive Coni
miltee that would turn tho other
cheek when one is smitten ? Would I
could believe this ; but grave doubts
arise and banish my weak faith iu
that direction. Is it that by return
ing good for evil said Committee may
heap coals of fire upon the head of the
Beast ? That were a possible motive,
but hardly probable,—at anyrato “I
can’t sec it.” Mr. Editor, my obtuse-
ness prevents niv seeing anything in
the motive of such action but a worse
than toadyism—a boot-licking from
whiehiuy feelings and those of o,ther
Georgians*recoil, and upon which be
whesehonored and honoring (?) pres-»
enceis requested will siuile wi b
contempt. However little «»f human
ity the ‘Beast may possess, he is not
-devoid of brains,’ ami is sufficiently
acquainted with human nature to ap

In the extensive aad riwricd. collection of
mmerala exhibited to our company at Car-
tersvillei there were peveral important ones
spoke abont the power of ihc Press, and
the necessity of harmony ; and, with words
ot adien, closed.
Col. Lester called on Mr. Fleming, of Soulh
Carolina, or the Charleston Courier, who re
sponded as follows .*
Gentlemen: While I regret that you did
not coll upon some one more worthy among
you, yet I cannot do otherwise thnn respond
to tlie hearty invitation which yon hAve given
to myself as a represent alive of the South
Carolina Press. Of that State, I have to say
that though she is perhaps less today than
she ever has been in her history, fur she is
now in humiliation, yet she :s’far dearer to
me at this time tbuu she was in her most glo
rious epoch.
A word or two, Mr. President, of this ex
pedition. I apprehend when Mr. Hulbcrt
harnessed up liis irou horse, and xinvited the
Press of Georgia, and the Charleston Courier,
which I had the honor to represent in the ex
pedition, he invited the people cf the Stale oi
Georgia, and of South Carolina to explore
this great State, and examine the wealth
which lies imbedded in her hills—for what,
after all, is the I’re*s but the exponent of the
people? and how is it possible for Col. IIu'»
bert to bring more advantageously before th:
minds of the people, and of ours the. great
mineral and other resources of this seciiou,
than by the excursion from which we have
to-day returned. Upon this excursion the
Commonwealth of Georgia has been well rep
resented. Wc have had the Executive De
partment, the Legislative Department, and
the Judicial Department, all pretty fully reps
resented, and last, but not least, you have
had the great—the all potential Press. [Ap
plause.} The gloat, responsibility after nil
rests upon them. Here then rests the joy
and the fatigues of the expedition. It. has
been, nevertheless, n memorable trip, and
will be so regarded for years to cotne. To
my mind it marks a new era in the history of
Georgia, and in the histmy of the Southern
States. [Applause.) Volumes, sir, might
be written, and doubtless volumes will be
written upon the experience of the past eight
days in Georgia, and they will reach the peo
ple of more uort hern climes ami .-how liiem
that though conquered ns we are believed to
he. not only have we iron in our hills, bat
iron yet in our hearts. [Applause )
Mr. Weston, of the Dawsoii dourual, offer
ed the following resolution:

gia Press be appointed lo correspond with

The committee appointed by th? Pieddent
of the Press Association, representing the Aa-
sociation and iuvite-J guests, beg leave to sub
mit the following .*
Resolved, That having accepted the invita
tion of Col. E. Hulberi, Superintendent of tho
Western and Atlantic K riband, and having
traveled will* him as his guests, we recognize
the excursion as totally disconnected with
politics and political parties; that in Col
llulbort we recognize a man o!j deep thought
and thorough investigation, of iudeiutigiible
energy, and steady purpose !•> advance the
interests of the Stale, by a successful admin*
istration of the great public work over which
he presides by the aid of his deep sagacity
and forethought, ns to railroad extensions,
the judicious graduation of freight tariff', and
by the use of all menus in his power to dfvel„
op the vast resources of tho country. Ileuce
we approve heartily of his excursion, fro or
which we have just returned, its aims mid
purposes,: of the skill shown in planning, and
tne polite^ and courteous and successful man
ner In which lie Ims conducted it throughout.
Resolved, That we are pleased to learn that
these views aro heartily concurred in and ap
prove*! by his Excellency Governor Bullock,
and members of tbe Legislature and other
State officials, who have accompanied the ex
cursion ; that with pleasure we rccoguize the
hospitality of the city id Atlanta, tepresent-
ed by her accomplished and genial Mayor,
Col. Hulsey, and return thauks to him aud
to the citisens of the Gate City ; to Messrs.
Kimball for tbe use of their mnguiiicent
sleeping cars, which have rendered our tra
vel a luxury, instead of labor; to the author
ities of the city of Chattanoog t, for their hos
pitalities during our visit, to Teunessee; nnd
to Mayor C. B. Hargrove and other citizens
of Rome, and through him the city for the
generous nnd continued hospitality and court
esies showered upon us, and we tender to
them our heartfelt thanks and best wishes for
tutore prosperity. In Capt Barney, of the
Solmn, Rome and Daltoc Railroad, we fouud
an accomplished gentleman and indefatiga*
ble Superintendent of a splendid road ; aud
we tender thanks for the transit over his
read, hie courteous attenti ns, and profuse
hospitality in entertaining our party daring
oar whole stay upon his road.
Resolved, That the thanks of tbe Super

road and the Press Association and invited
travelling with the Excursion, arc due,
and hereby tendered, to CoL Wade S. Coth
ran, President ot the Rome Railroad Compa

ScuANTON, I’ess,.,September G—There is

their ouly means of escape, is choked by

Scranton, September 7—All work is stop
ped in this vicinity. Two men wbo vcntuied
down to rescue those in the mine perished.
The trains are bringing miners from all
quarters free of charge to aid in rescuing
the bodies whether deud or alive. The tv id*
owH and orphans will not be less than six
hundred in number. The prolonged strikes,
just closed, increases tli«* drstitulioiis. Tin
men who descended the shaft found the
dot»rs at the holtoui closed, and lost llieir
lives while w aiting In low for implements
with which lo force the doors. They are
supposed to have been closed by the miners
t.> exclude the flumes.
LATER—The only hope for the safely of
the two huu lreJ and oue men in Arumiu e
mine, lies in the probability that they may
have shut themselves up iu a remote part ol
the mine, away from flic shaft The death
of those who descended the shaft to rescue
them, was caused from foul sir coining from
the mine.

The Commercial Convention which adjourn
o*l from Memphis, says the Macon Telegraph,
will meet in Louisville on the 12th d-y of
October next. A circular from Col. Pdanlon
Duncan. Chairman, of the Committee of Ar
rangements, suggests that all the Southern
cities be represented by duly appointed dele
gates, and that the delegates who expect to
attend communicate the fact lo him ns early
ns possible, it is thought that the railroads
will be liberal iu passing delegates. At a
in cel ing in Louisville on the 2d of last June,
the following resolutions were adopted .*
Resolved, That the people of Louisville
cordially extend a welcome to the delegates
who may attend the Southern Commercial
Convention on the 12th of October, and as
sure them that the great measures upon
which they will be called upon to deliberate,
will enlist the earnest atleuiiou of the buai- .
ness men of this city.
Resolved. That the commercial interests of
•he whole Union are -o inseparably interlac
ed that the prosperity of one section redounds
to the interest of all. and the depression of
any portion is sensibly felt in every depart
ment of commerce.
Resolved, therefore. That every effort
should be made by tbe mercantile communi
ty of every State to resuscitate and develop
the languishing interest of any portion of the*
country which may temporarily droop, and
that, knowing no sectional division, we hold
out the hand of brotherhood to evory Amer
ican, in the hope that wise effort to benefit
onr common country may cement affections
and blot ont the differences of the past.
Resolved, That we will extend tbe hospi.
