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.

Col.

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.

There arc two huudred and one men and boys in the miuc. The shaft, which is their ouly means of escape, is choked by forty feet of burning coal and rubbish — Ventilation is totally stopped, and there are great fears that some, if not all, w.ll be suf- locuted. 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.

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.
