LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.
Augusta, 0a..:
FIUDAY MOKNING >uly 6. **•
THE FOURTH OF JULY.
THE DAY.
The 90th anniversary of the Declara
tion of Independence was observed in
this city principally by the Freed men,
who seemed to enjoy themselves greatly.
The Day was clear ar.d pleasant in the
shade, though rather warm in the sun
shine. But the colored people did not
mind the latter; they turned out in
large numbers, aud carried out their
programme fully.
THE ZOUAVES.
A noticeable feature of the day and
of the procession was the Colored Zou
aves, their uniforms consisting of blue
jackets aud red pants, in the Zouave
style. They bore with them a hand
some United States flag. They were
escorted to the place of general rendez
vous by the Society of Colored V> utters,
who were preceded by a banner bearing
the inscription “Waiters’ Society, with
the device ot a knife and fork. As
these passed down Greene street, they
stopped in front of the City Hall, and
proposed three cheers tor the City au
thorities which were given with a hearty
good will.
THE PROCESSION.
The several organizations which took
part in the proceedings of the day met
on Greene street, in front of the Hough
ton Institute, where the line was formed.
Previous to marching, the Marshal of
the Day announced that the various Cap
tains would be held responsible tor the
good conduct of the men under their
command.
About 10 o’clock, the procession hav
ing been duly formed, the Colored Dray
men, mounted, forming the head of the
column, followed by the Zouaves, the
Waiters’ Society, and other organiza
tions, bearing flags and banners, and
with a band of tiekl music, proceeded
up Greene street to Centre, up Centre
to Broad, up Broad to Kolloek, down
Kollock to Greene, down Greene to El
bert, down Elbert to the Parade Ground
where a stand was provided for the
speakers, and where a large crowd
of colored people had assembled to
take part in the festivities of the day.
MORE CHEERING.
As the procession passed the residence
of the Mayor, three cheers were given
for Hon. James T. Gardiner. As it
passed the City Hall, throe more were
given for the civil authorities as a
marching salute. And, also, when it
arrived at the Parade Ground, three
cheers were given lor the Governor of
the State, three for His Honor the Mayor,
and three for the City Council.
THE SPEECHES.
Several speeches were made, one by
Gcu. Tillson, and others by colored men,
all of which were mild and conciliatory,
and some ot them full of good advice to
the audience.
INCIDENTS.
. Previous to the Fourth, all of the
Societies designing to celebrate the day
sent to the Mayor and requested his
permission to do so, and, aiso. u.-king to
have a Police force sent with the pro
cession to preserve order; all of which
was, of course, cheerfully granted, and
good order was preserved. Indeed, the
day passed off very quietly and credita
bly to all concerned, and the good feel
ing exhibited towards the civil author!
ties, by the frequent cheering which
they received, and the conciliatory tone
of the speeches delivered, were pecu
liarly gratifying aud commendable. At
the Parade Ground, one man, a mem
ber ot the Zouaves, was accidentally
shot in the heal, but not dangerously
wounded.
The ice cream, fruit and cake dealers,
made a good thing of the day, aud were
on the ground in goodly force.
Altogether, the colored citizens had a
fine time generally, and deserve credit
for the manner in which they deported
themselves and the good order which
they observed.
THE NATIONAL SALUTE.
At noon a national salute of thirty
five guns was fired on Telfair Street, in
front of the Barracks. The firing was
not very well done, owing, perhaps, to
the fact that the guns having been for
merly the property of the Confederate
Government, were rather rebellious yet,
not having been properly reconstructed
and harmonized.
• THE FANTASTIC®.
In the afternoon, two or three bands
of colored fantastics, amused themselves
and a motley crowd of colored children,
by parading on Broad aud some of the
other Streets, dressed in grotesque cos
tumes.
FIRE WORKS.
In the evening a great number of
sky rockets were discharged foorn the
balcony of the Academy Barracks, on
Telfair Street, and in some portions of
the city a lew fire works were displayed.
CONCLUSION.
Altogether the day passed off very
agreeably ; although not without some
disagreenble results. A United States
soldier got into a qunrrel on Broad
Street, and in the scuffle which ensued
was severely stabbed. And a few par
ties were arrested for disorderly con
duct ; lint apart from these, general
good order was observed and enforced.
—lt is related that the Emperor
Napoleon, when paying a visit recently
to the works of the Universal Exhibition,
approached a group of laborers, and
addressing them in a familiar tone, said
that they must not believe in the rumors
of war; that he himself sincerely wished
for peace; and that the international fete
of 1867 should noton any account be
postponed.
—The Montgomery Mail calls the
drunken loafers in that city “portable
groceries.”
