Editor* Chronicle and Sentinel: You alluded a few daya ago to the probablo appointment of this gentleman to the Supreme Court, and you have einee had the pleasure of reooraing the fact. Jnd*e Montgomery it a profound luw- yer, with dear perception of oompln isagaoity, and prom pt- wi race' ■ of decision. We recall an incident, aa illuatrative of his powers aa of the magnanimity of his friend, Judge Linton Stephens. They were opposed to eaoh other in an important tow ease, and after severs] able apeeohee by their aasociatee, Mr. Montgomery eommenoed end oon- tiuued bin argument—Judge Stephens wntobing him with cloee and intense in terest. Mr. Montgomery doted, and Judge Stephens exclaimed: "That man is every ineh a lawyer." Judge Montgomery is iorty-four years old, of a hue commanding appearanoe, and imbued witiran independent integri ty and deep love of justice. We con gratulate the Governor and people of Ueorgia upon such an excellent appoint ment. J, (From Om Griffin Dally Hews of ths 18th.] Atlanta. We have, for a long time, noticed the invidious dun thrown at this city, which is truly the pride of the Stato. We have aevar aeon any necessity forsuoli aoourse, for of all plaoaa in the State, Atlanta is our favorite. True there is aa immeuao amount of oorruption, whioh has been more prominent, then that of any other aity, baoanaa it la the eeet of Govern ment aid beoauae everybody knows everything shorn it; but * lis is overbalanc es by its wont' jrfnl enterprise,tbe energy, sud thrift of its eitixens, the magnificence of its undertakings, the eiegsnooof her buildings, and tbs cleverness ol her peo ple. Sevon yean ago it was one solid ruin, a mats of cinders and charcoal; to day it is the finest oity in tbe State, rivalled by none in scarcely a single re spect. Ji i,us ris. u Phoenix like from its —boa, sud is uue of tbe fluent examples of Georgia’s determination to maintain berwell earned repuliitiou of "the Empire Slate of the South." When its limits worn one vast tamp of Yankee soldiery, alien tbo ba'lut box ass manipulated by eeouudrele, its polls oouuted at the point of the bayonet, iu the hands of a rabble whose every im pulse »ss for tbe degradation of our people, Atlanta w— tbe only city in tbe State of any considerable sixe, that gave our glorious standard bearer a majority of the votes oust. This record she has fully sustained in every subsequent elec tion, and to her we look for lead in eveiy important move on the political obese- board. A great deal has been laid about the removal of the capital of toe State to that peiut; we ere aod have ell the time been opposed to tbe manner in whioh it was second lor that eity, but outaide of that we ere willing, yee, proud of the fact, that Atlanta is our —at ol government Tbe removal of it to Atlanta will more than add enough to the taxes of the State than forty such public buildings aa those be longing to tbe State at Milledgoville ore worth. It ia foremost in evary Uuug that looks to the developing of our nobis old Commonwealth, ana we shall ever rejoioe et its prosperity iu any manner or form, and would be glad ta see the dey dawn when its limits might ba extended until it wee separated from our own beeutifr' little oily by nn invisible dry line.

Special Com-rpondenee of Tut- bus. New Orleans, La., 1 February 13,1H72. ( THE l'ABADK INI) DISPLAY on the streets, where the procession was snnounoed to pass, w— magnificent be yond calculation. Besides numerous structures provided for the occasion, tlronaanda of verandahs, porticos end balconies wen thronged with excited spectators. These, adorned with a blaz ing bout of geyly and richly dremed wo men, ornamented with many brilliant oolors, and decorated with floating ban ners, flying oolors, gleaming pennants and glittering streamers, together with tbe surging mans of humanity that lite rally thronged the streets below present ed a spectacle which, for inspiring lwauty and enchanting grandeur, seeks in vein for a parallel in American history. AboutMOi o'clock in the mornings few masker*, chiefly children, made their ap- pearance ou the streets. These ore im mediately followed by a diversity of mas querade pedestrians representing mon keys, bears, lions, pancbinelios, pan taloons, buffoons, harlequins, negroes, and a host of others too nnmer- to mention. Large bands of minstrels on foot or in vehioles; gaily caparisoned bones with burlesque, comi cal, and aometimee hideous, riders, until by twelve o’clock the vast populace that throng Canal and it* tributary streets is variegated and diversified with many thousand masks and oostumes of every conceivable model and design, The ex- citement continued unabated until three o'clock, r. it., when the Grand Pageant, under the command of the King of tbe Carnival and tbe Grand Manhal of tbe Empire, commenced its marob, when every speototor became spell-bound while witneeeing the gorgeous panorama of ever-changing scones in tbe picturesque procession before him. THE PAGEANT wee preceded by mounted polioo officers and assistants on foot. The Grand Mar shal and King of tbo Carnival, with their appropriate ensigns, oolors, insignia end banners, accompanied by a company of the Lords of the Yeomanry, habited in Arabic, Moorish and Bedouin costumes, lad tbs van of the prooession. Nothing, save parching sands and Arabian chargors, was wanting to make this detaokment a perfect roving band of dosert Bedouins. There were the bronze face, tbe black board, tbe far-eeeing, vicious and tresch erous eyes. There were the red jsokets and purple browsers, brilliant sash white soarf and shining rosettes peering from under a rioh flowing white robe trimmod with gold lace and surmounted with curious designs of oostly brocades. Tbo costumo was perfected by a gloaming spear which was carriod in the right baud. The Boeuf Gnu (fat ox), emblematio of tbo carnival, richly decorated with roses, ribbons and numerous trappings, and led by four mounted horsemen, wits the next feataro of Iho procession. Two Bedouins, commanding a noisy company of throe or four hundred pedestrians in costumes and masks personating buffons; Ku-Klux, giants, harlequins, devils, saints, fiends, Indian clowns, fishes, be—Is and birds, were next in order. In dose succession camo a troop of Chinese, enclosed ia rectangular trans parent paper boxes bearing many quaint design*, symbolic of their favorite game of cards, and bearing such inscriptions — "OarCarnival Game”and ‘‘ Euchre us if you oan." Next followed tbe Lord of tbe Car riigos, with his Bedouin attendants. The twenty carriages contained maskers clothed in rich and costly oostumos, some worth probably from 810,000 to 820, 000. Among those figured conspicuously numerous representations of tbo demi mantle in their coaoh—-and-fottr, dressed, some in male costume, othors in tbe most royal outfits, ao fashioned — best to display their voluptuous charms, if such they may be termed. Tbe Irani of the Vans and attendants led a detachment of vehicles, among which wero portable blacksmith-shops, with crimsou-costumedVulcans, forging of real molten iron whatever their ingenui ty suggested. Conspicuous umoli j these plunders was a movable plantation cabin, resouuut with tbe musio ol tbe banjo, tamboriue and done ing of uiue-betlum negroes. Besides these there wero numerous migratory ad vertisements of nurseries, sewing ma chines end numerous avocations and busi uess enterprises, all well conceived and executed with the highest degree of per fection. One of the nursery wagons car ried a caricature of Horace Greeley, bear ing the inscription, "What I know about farming.” Lord of tbe Horae and attendants, leadingsoav.-tloadeof "heathenChinees,” banditti, Indians, monkeys, Japanese, Kn-Klnxes, Death on Iho Palo Horse, brigands and the "Knights of McGraw,” with brooms for spears, constituted the following section of tbe pageant. Lord of the Unattached and attendants led a promiscuous procession, composed o( Dan Rice’s circus band, followed by the aUachm and professionals, tattooed and oostumed at Indians, clowiA, moo keys, etc. A motley crowd of straggling m—ken, comprising monntebaks, quacks, negroes, and a hast of oomioal characters, closed the lino of procession. The pageant paraded a number of tbe principal streets; contained about 1000 maskers; w— about one and a half miles long, and consumed about 35 or 10 min utee in passing a single point in the The entire proeeeeion re-aeeembled about dark at the ploee ol render rot™, where they wen foraaeliy dismissed by the King of the Carnival. The eoncourea oi spectators dispersed, hastened to their supper, and quickly re turned to view the grand procession of the JUSTICE EBEWE 0» CONUS, which presented a matolilees living pano ramic view of the aoenea, heroes and characters in Homer's Iliad and Odys- a lt is impossible to do justice to gorgeous spectacle in any description short of a volume. It was, in short, a living and magnificent reproduction oi the Trojan war and its regal array of heroes, kings, gods and goddesses, — described, sang, and immortalized by the grand old bard in the primeval times of Oriental grandeur. Tbo pageant consisted of s procession of many triumphal cars, finished and decorated in shining splendor, bearing groups of many heroes of the Trojan War and the characters in the Odyssey. Ou the first cor stood a beautiful Doric temple, whose starry dome protected the vencrublo bdst of Homer. Tl next eight cars boro numerous per sonages, personating the maoy heroes and actors, terr. Ci.il and celestial, that I figured so conspicuously iu the siege of Troy ; viz.: Venus, the pi "hi ess of love, reclining on u golden cloud, and at her feet were Baris and Helen, the last the moat b—utiful women of her age ; Age- non. King of Argos; tbe aged coun sellor, Nestor, and tbe beautiful captive, Brioeis ; Achilles, the bravo aud invul nerable warrior; Ajax, Apollo, goddess Diana, Man god of war, and Ann—; mounted on aloads of Olympus —t Ju piter, Judo, Minerva and Aurora ; in a shell floating on tbo sea stood Neptune with his trideut. This closed tbe views of the “ Dreams of Homer,” and next were personated tbo characters and hero* of THE ODTSSET. The firat cor bore tbe Monster Cyclops Polyphemus. Other cars bore Circe, tbe Horoere—, Pluto, the Hirens, the Mon sters Beylla and Charybdis, the House hold of Ulysses, aud the various other characters figuring in (lie trials and wan de -ings of Ulysses. Next followed i panoramic view of the mock poem niniAOHOMYAMACHIA, or tbe “Battle of the Frogs and Mice,” a poem burlesquing Homer’s grand epic, but whoso authorship is disputed and yet remains obscure. This was a laughable spectacle. Frogs a hundred times msg- nified, armed cap-a-pie, were placed in battle array against tbe mice, who were also equipped in the most approved man- rer. Minister crabs, who constituted tbe peace-makers, volunteering their services — arbitrators, nept appeared. The prooession, about 10 o'clock p. m., entered the VAItlXTIES THEATRE which was brilliantly illuminated with dazzling chandeliers and crowded with abont 2000 magnificently dressed women who had come from far and near to witness the GRAND RALL AND TABLEAUX of the Mistick Krewe. The first tableau pictured in the most regal and gorgeous glory 1 The Judgement, porsonating Venus, Juno, Minerva, Helen and Paris, when the three god desses tempt Peris by ibeir offers.— Paris and Helen stand at tbe foot of tbe throne while Juno offers him immortali ty. Minerva offers mili ary glory, but Venus proffers the most beautiful woman in tbe world, and designate* Helen, who stands at his side. Immortality and glory are vanqaished, and Lovo tri- uaphs. THE SECOND TABLEAU represented tho mortal combat between tbe Trojaos and,Grecians. Diomedes and Menelattsin one chariot, and Mura and Hector in another, engage in a hand-to- liand enconnter, surrounded by the cele brated warriors Grecian and Trojan. A TUANttVOltUATION scene is witnessed during tbe oomliat, showing tlio gods in council. Tbe third tableau represented the trials of Ulyttses, and the fourth presented a comical cari cature panorama of tho Buttle of tbe Froga and Mice. Altogether, tbo tableaux pi-isoutod the meat magnificent spectacle we ever wit nessed. Doubtless tho effigies, costumes, scenery aud paraphernalia connected with the tableaux, cost nt the lowest es timate 850,000. After tho tableaux the Krewo joined iu a grand march nronnd tho purquette, which bad bton cleared for dancing, pro sentiug nn array of characters, which, for splendor, comicality, terror nml inge nuity, hns no equal su this country. THE HALL then commenced. The first quadrille was dauccd by members of the Krew with the ladies of the audience. The Grand Duko was invited to participate but declined—only consenting to mingli with the promonaders on the floor for i little while, when he retired. The Mislkk\Krcue of Cornu* has had its oelekration since tbe year 1847. It origi noted in tbe “Cowbollian" Society ot Mobile, which formerly had similar cele brations in that eity, but ou a more lira ited scale. Tbe society is composed of men not only of menus, but of scholar ship, culture, reading and numerous at taiuments. They uro from vurious sec lions of tbe country. It is supposed they make enormous outluys of utoney ttad devote muck time as well talent to these annual demonstrations which are becoming yearly more popular und celebrated. It is estimated that their iuitiation fee alouo is 91,200. All, or at least nearly all, their effigies, scenery cos tumos ana general paraphernalia ordered from Paris and Vienna. Some individual costume's are supposed to cost as much as 850,000. While they are de voteos of fun and pleasure, they nt tbo tame time worship at the shrine of the flue arts, and probably ltavo contributed more to the growth and improvement of line, lofty nud cultivated tastes iu New Orleans thau any single benevolent or literary institution in that city. Whilo in New Orleans, wc were mtioh pleased with the general demeanor of her pooplo nud tho regulation of her govern ment, though at present sbo ia languivi ing under the tyranny of her vile op pressure.

ElbertoN, February 14th, 1872. Editor* Atlanta Sun: Our peoplo or. moving with Bpirit and increased confi dence iu our little railroad enterprise. Tbo citizens of Elbertou are beginning to subscribe liberally to its stock. The rood will be of much interest to the peo ple of Atlanta, and wu will be glad to have her press and|people come forward with encouragement in our behalf. We feel confident that tbo people along the line will be liberal in helping us. After we have made earnest efforts, if we should be a little short of means to ntako this euterprize an early success, would it not bo wise policy in Atlanta and the Air-Line Road to lend us a little help? We srill not ask for a large Barn, if any; but think that Atlanta aud the Air-Line Road should be considering tbe benefits offered them by the construction oi tho Elberton Air-Lino Branch Road, and be ready to join ns in rose of emer gency. Tbe cost of construction tie arc led to behove will not bo large, and a small amount from each of thoso coiqsinttious will insure its success. Hart and Franklin counties are now beginning to tako deep interest in this matter. There will be a meeting held at Henry's Church, Hart county, on the 24th Inst, and from present indications, wc expect a large attendance. Our reg ular monthly meeting will take place ou the 15th of March, nt tbe Frankliu Springx. Very respectfully, D. A. Mathews. Tllli HUM)* OF GEORGIA. Georgia State Agricultural So- — c|eiy.
