Tuesday, ot Wt week, in company with a couple ot friend*. was boarded the down train on the (sa. E. K. for the old Capitol oi Georgia. 'The train wna in charge oC the polite and at tentive Conductor, Mr. J 11. Purcell. At Covington Si Broal Ax Hawkins, of the Enterprise, made hi* appearance, armed and equipped for the trip ; and from that time on took charge ot not only‘Our little party, blit the whole train, Engineer Conductor, train hnpd* and all. Nothing ot interest occurred on the route till we reached Cainak, where we atopped to take the Macon tVMn. Mr*. Wright in charge of the httei. gave us a‘ good mpper for fifty cents. At eleven r. m. we got aboard the Macon train, which was born along by the Gadsden, a splendid engine, which was in charge of Joel Smith, an old friend, and ns a matter of course, wo had a sate trip, -j when his hand was hold oi the thrdUle.! We arrived at our destination at 4 A. A. Wednesday, and pM np at tho MoOonibb Hotel, kept by C. Crfctchfield. After a refreshing nap ot a few hours, we awoke, took breakfast, and on looking aroundi saw among the l>y-*tandern and guests several delegates to the Uonventioft, and among tho number Judge Seaborn C.

Our panoil almost glides into these sad fccenes and incidents. We must drop the curtaih, and let tho “dead past bury its dead.” Over the entrance to the silbnt city, entwined iu wreaths of green and living loiters were words that were the endearing and burning wish ofevery HeiiVt present — "Rfcd in Peace.” And the echoes re sponding to dur Wishes; ad:! wet's; ‘ wrap ped the Grey, they seep well." The Oeremony was worthy the occasion. F. G. Dubignon, Esq., wis the orator of the day, and although a young man scarcely out of Ills teens, did his duty as becomes the ord'or of such a causer We would be glad to sity more ot Memorial Day, but our heart is 100 full Ho we’ll let the dead and the beautiful jest, “Rest in Peace, with the flowers Hint fair and loving liai.ds placed oti their graves.

It is also-the year in which an Opposition House of Representatives, tho first Since the' war, wn be in power at Wash ington ; and the year of the twenty-third elect tion of a President of the United States. All of these events are sure to be of great interest and importance, especially the two hitter; and all of them and everything connected with them w ill bo fully and freshly reported and expounded in Tin Sun. The Opposition House of Representatives, taking up the lino of inquiry opened years ago by The Sun, will sternly and diligently inves tigate the corruptions and misdeeds of Grant’s administration ; and it will, it is to be hoped, iny tho foundation for anew and betti r period In cur national history. Of all this The Sun will contain complete and accurate accounts, furnishing its readers with early and trustwor thy information upon these absorr ing topics. Tho twenty-third Presidential election, with the preparations for it, will be memorable as deciding upon Grant’s aspirations for a third term of power and plunder, and still more as deciding who shall be the candidate of the party of Reform, and as electing that candi date. Concerning all these subjects, those who read The Sun , have the constant means of being thoroughly well informed.
