RE-UNION AT EATONTON.
At the re-union of the Third Geor
fie Regiment, recently hold at La
teuton, Judge C’laiboi o6 Snead, of
Augusta, iho last commander of that
Laroie and gallant organization, in
the course of au eloquent and patri
otic address gave expreshiou to the
(ollowiug sentiments : “And could
aiy voice tide upon the wings of the
wind, and reach every man, woman
and child in this state, I would pro
claim that these men were ever true
to Georgia. They fondly loved her,
they nobly died for her, and their fi
delky though crimsoned with blood,
ia bright as the stars iu their glory.
A* the high priests of old boro upon
their breastplates the names of the
children of Israel, so should we ever
carry enshrined in our hearts their
honored names. Teach that to your
children, and let the lesson be taught
to your children’s children rolling
down the stream of time, even uuto
the latest generation, that they were
neither rebels or traitors, but mar
tyred patriots of a just and right
eous cause—the grand cause of con
stitutional liberty,
Again, I thank you for your gen
croua welcome. It conveys more
tban the ordinary courtesies of life,
more than the transient pleasures of
time. It teaches there is life in the
old land yet, and that the chain of
friendship among the people of this
Southern land will never break, how
ever, lengthened by time or strainod
by circumstances. Life, at most, is
but a fleetiug span, and I know not
whether mine shall be brief or ex
tended, but whether long or short, I
ask tor no higher honor than the con
tiaoed confidence of my own people.
Tbat I infinitely prefer to the friend
ahip of others obtained at a sacrifice
of principle or of manhood. My
comrades being in thorough accord
with me in this sentiment, I feel au- j
tborixed to say for them that having
accepted the results of the war in
the utmost good faith, their sacred
honor is thereby pledged to the sup
port of the Government of the Uni
ted States, without any mental res
ervation or evasion whatsoever ; and
should occasion require they would
cheerfully resume their arms in its
defence against any foreign or domes
tic foe. But we respoctfully decline
to change our nature and assume a
character not our own, to act the
spaniel that fawns upon and kisses
the band that smites him. And so
far ae I am concerned, I will never,
eo help mo God, bow down to a gold
• i calf bespangled with the alluring
same of “New South.” No, no! I
can never do that, for I love the
South of old, and as she stands to
day, arisen Fhenix-like from the ash
ea of war, and regenerated anew but
not changed by the fiery ordeal. —
Lifting her head proudly aloft with
conscious strength, and grand in the
dignity of her self respect, at that
abrine I bend my knee in reverential
awe, and say, as Ruth said to Naomi:
'‘Entreat me not to leave thee, nor
return from following after thee, for
whithersoever thou goest I will go,
where thou ludgest I will lodge, thy
people shall be my people, and thy
God my God.”
Caterpillars arc engaged in (heir
work of destruction all over the coun
try, and what cotton the rust has
spared will likely succumb to the de
vouring pests. There are large
fields in Randolph county that have
■ot one leaf left.

Hampton Times speaks thusly:
“Do you subscribe for this paper 1 ?
No. Well what right have you to
read it ? It is the result of our labor

entitled to gratis. If printers had

such as you they could have a few
more crumbs for their hungry wives

The election of a United States

Editorial Notes.
The government continues to
hoard up money at a rapidly increns
ing rate. The daily revenues are
now averaging 81,000,000.
It is not surprising that cotton
seed oil is in request when it is
known that no large lard dealer in
the United States used lastyoar 110,-
000 barrels, and another used 75,000.
The Southern people can escape this
imposition by raising hogs and dry
ing up their own lard.
It is reported that Sam Small lias
! left Atlanta for good and gone to
Washington to live He has taken
iiis family to the national capital,
closed tip his house and sold his
horse and buggy, and his friends
state that he will not return to At
lanta to live.
Joel Bennett, of Hall county, is
uow iu his 74th year, and is as hale
and hearty as many a man of 50.
Mr. Bennett says that he has not failed
to follow the plow every season since
he was large enough to bold up the
plow handles. He has never worn
his shirt with the collar buttoned in
sixty years ; has never missed a meal
of victuuls oil Account of sickness in
forty years, and has not gone to bed
without a chew of tobacco in his
mouth in thirty years. He has made
a fine crop this year, and bids fair to
make many more.
Ex President Jefferson Davis has
accepted the invitafion to attend the
State Fair at Macon on October 56th.
On that day there will be a grand
te-union of all surviving ex-Confed
erate soldiers who can get there.—
President Northern of tho State Fair
has returned from Beauvoir. He
found Mr. Davis suffering a little
from a wound received in his fool in
the Mexican war. Mr. Davis said
he would rather visit Macon than
any city this far south, He would
bo delighted to once again look on
the surviving Confederate veterans.
One of the features of the torch
light procession in Atlanta during
the President’s visit will be two com
panies of original wool liat Demo
crats, organized by Clark Howell,
Sr, brother of the editor of the Con
stitution. They will be dressed in
copporns breeches, yellow boots, hick
ory shirts and one “gallus,” with ro
settes of corn shuck, and coon tail
plumes for their slouch hats. They
utterly refuse to handle the new
fangled torches, but each cne will
swing a lightwood knot from the
butt end of a pine. They will march
in two companies, and it will be
known as the battalion of original
Democrats. They have secured a
hall and will drill until they have
perfected themselves in their evolu
tions. This battalion will be one of
the great features of the parade.
