Rey nolds’ old company,) 16th Georgia, ve man aging editor was, at an early hour, Saturday morning last, “ armed and equipped,” ready and waiting for transportation to the “ scene of action.” “ Prof.” W. F. Hunter having urbanely offered us a “ berth” on his “ light ning express,” after a short time spent in yet ting tip steam, our train moved in the direc tion of Centre Hill church (first Universalist) about 6£ a. m. Along the line of travel, we noted several places of interest—to us, at least; Galilee church, Thompson’s Mill on the Oconee, Ebenezer church, Mulberry riv er, etc., etc.; while the principal attraction was some of the most beautiful farms of corn and cotton we ever beheld, pace will not permit enumeration; the whole scene was a verification of what had been remarked be fore starting, “that in our journey to Centre Hill, we would pass through one of the best sections of Jackson county !” The day proved to be the hottest of the sea son ; and we beg to remark, incidentally, that our “ coach” was not a “ Pullman Palace Sleeping Car,” but was, on the other hand, a fair sample of a celebrated vehicle manu factured within the “ precints” of Jackson, Michigan ; while a portion of the road over which we passed seemed as though it had suffered from an eruption something akin to that of “ Mount Vesuvius,” at some time not very distant in the past. Notwithstanding all this, however, our chief engineer, Bob Watson, (col.) succeeded in landing us safe, if not sound, at the destined point, about o’clock. Already was the beautiful grove around the neat little church edifice filled with vehi cles of every description, in which the beau ty and fashion of the immediate community as well as the adjacent sections round about, had come to take part in this festive testimo nial of a brave and gallant people to the he roes—(both living and dead) —of a glorious and noble but now (shall we say it?) “lost cause.” The crowd, now larger than was anticipated, still increased, and at about 10| o’clock, there had congregated at this place, soon to be made memorable by this day’s exercises, a number of people far outstrip ping the calculations of the most sanguine— consisting of the refinement, the intelligence, the beauty and gallantry of Jackson and her adjoining sister counties. The large assemblage being called to or der, Lieut. H. J. Cox made a few remarks as to the object of the gathering. After which, by request, Capt. J. M. Venable addressed the Throne of Grace in a most impressive manner—petitioning for the blessing of high Heaven upon all present, and especiallj’ upon the widows and orphans of those gallant spi rits over whose forms, years ago, “ The muffled drum's sad roll had heat The soldier’s last tattoo.” Liout. Cox then proceeded to call the roll, when some fifteen or twenty of the surviving members of the valiant and noble “ Band” answered to their names. Capt. IL 11. Carlton, of Athens, (editor of the Northeast Georgian.) was, in a few perti nent and handsomely worded remarks, then introduced to the audience, by Lieut. Robert White. Of the address of our fellow-soldier and commander, we dare not risk anything like a synopsis or online—the intense heat and the large concourse surrounding the Hon. speaker preventing us from getting a seat close enough to hear distinctly’ what was said. But that it was peculiarly fitted, well-timed and most happily suited to the occasion, was fully* testified by the constant bursts of ap plause with which he was greeted, and amid which, he was often forced to stop and await the subsidence of the enthusiasm ere he could again take up his subject. But, while not attempting to delineate in the least, the sub stance of Capt. Carlton's address, we must be permitted to express our humble approbation of his selection as the orator of this occasion. Who so tit and proper to speak of the daring and chivalrous deeds of “fallen braves” and “ living heroes” as he who had been their companion, their coadjutor, their exemplar from beginning to end P That the reader may judge, however, for himself, of the “ theme” of Capt. Carlton on this occasion, we make the following extract from his own paper of Wednesday last: The writer then had the honor, in a few re marks, of uniting with these heroes of 1801 in their revival of the pleasant recollections of the past, in their renewal of the ties of affection and the strengthening of links of friendship which were formed and cemented during our four years of sanguinary* conflict, and with feelings commingled with joy and sadness, joined them in extending the hand of true brotherhood to the living, while we shed our tears of sorrow and affection over the memory of those departed comrades who having “ crossed over the river, and now resting under the shade of the trees,” await that grand final re union when the long-roll of time shall sound their assembly upon the parade ground of eternity*.'’ The “feast of reason” being at an end, it was announced that an opportunity would then be afforded for all present to partake of another “feast”—and one too, which as the sequel proved, was to form no unimportant feature of the day's history*. Impromptu seats and tables were provided as far as cir cumstances would admit, and each and eve ry one was invited to dinner—of which there was a most bountiful supply—prepared in that superb sty*le and manner for which not only the fair ladies around Centre Hill are justly’ celebrated, but for whieh the kind ma trons and beautiful maidens of Jackson coun ty’ stand unexcelled and unsurpassed. Dinner being over, and a proper time al lowed for recuperation and rest, the crowd was again called to order, when a few brief and most happy remarks were indulged in by* Lieut. Robt. White, of Cos. 8., intersperssd with an anecdote or two —calling forth round after round of applause. * * The company (that is, Cos. 8.,) then passed some resolutions looking forward to a permanent organization and preservation of the history, &c., of the company. The following, kindly furnished us on the ground, contains, as we were informed, the substance of the proceed ings of the afternoon meeting : “ Resolved , That the names of the members of Cos. B. be recorded in a book or books provided for the purpose, giving the position and rank held by each member, his time in service, wheth er wounded or not; place, date, and cause of death, if dead. A list of the survivors to be an nexed. “ That all members of the Company present are appointed a Committee of the Whole to carry out the above resolution.” Thus closed the day's exercises so far as relates to the prime object of the occasion. Amusement was now in order, and various were the modes adopted to while away the interval between this and “breaking up time.” Violins arc brought into requisition, and while there was Tittle or no “ tripping the light fantastic toe*’—(if we except a “ stag dance” or two by some of the b’hoys)—still the lively music seemed to lend an almost inexpressible inspiration to many a listener, old and young. As for ourself while giving ear to the merry strains, we could not help indulging an inward consciousness, that though we could never be young again, yet we should never forget how young people feel. Three o’clock—and now the happy con course begin to disperse and • seek the seclu sion of home. One by one—by twos, threes, squads and dozens they take their different routes, till at last we find that “our crowd” are almost the sole occupants of the spot where, but so short a time previous, there was so much of life, pleasure and enjoyment. A few moments suffice to put our “ train” in motion, and then homeward we “ hie,” thank ful that we were permitted to enjoy the fes tivities of the first re-union of Cos. 8., and hoping that those noble veterans—the survi vors—may live to enjoy many a return of this ever memorable day, and that when they meet again we may be there “ to see !” In giving an account of the day’s doings, there may be perhaps, some inaccuracies ; if so, we hope they will be looked over—they are not intentional. We were suffering from the intense heat, and besides, endeavoring to introduce the News to some who had not, as yet, formed its acquaintance—consequently we have to give our “ sketch” as best we can. To Capt. T. C. Williams, L. Y. Bradberry, Lieuts. Cox and White. D. A. Camp, Esq., and many others, we now “raise our beaver,” and bow respectfully for courtesies extended on the occasion. The Colored People and the “ News.” With some gratification, we note the fact that among our subscribers is quite a num ber of colored people, who stand in “ good repute” with their white friends and are quite prominent and esteemed among their own class ; and Avould take this occasion to say to those who are not taking the paper, that the}' are interested—some to a pretty good extent—in all that pertains to the welfare of the country and county. Then, come up, and subscribe. By this means your children will be induced to study and learn to read, and innumerable will be the benefits, In the end, of having the county paper around your hearthstone. “The Craps.” From all the facts we are able to gather, speaking in “ general terms,” the crop pros pects are still very encouraging. While this is true, we regret to learn that in some sec tions of Jackson, Gwinnett and the counties adjoining, the drouth ha* been so severe as to preclude the possibility of more than a “ half-crop,” if that. Accounts of this na ture, however, are frequently exaggerated, and we are induced to hope for better tilings yet. “Life in the Old Land Yet.” We were told, the other day, of a gentle man of Jackson county, some 75 years old, weighs about one hundred pounds, has his third wife-—who presented her “ liege lord” with twins not long since; and still they don't live near Col. Legg’s Springs, either! IPP’A young man of color, named Als Watson, or Oliver, we are not certain which, died on Sunday last at his parents’ residence, of typhoid fever. He was buried on Mon day, his funeral being attended by the, “Jef ferson firemen,” of which he was a faithful member, aud a large number of his colored relatives and friends. NOTES BY THE WAY-SIDE. Jefferson, Jackson Cos., Ga, ) July 22. 1875. / Mr. Editor: —For many years, I have been in the habit of noticing the every-day scenes of life as seen along my humble pathway. By request, I extract the following item from my Note-Book and send them to you for publication, if thought worthy of a place in your columns. The adventures of to-day, brought mo to Oak Grove Lodge, No. 77,1. O. 0. F., located in Clarke County. This is a young and thrifty Lodge, pleasantly situated in a wide-spreading grove, and my visit there proved to be one of the most pleas ant episodes of life, and forcibly reminded me of the saying of Dr. Daly, that “the concourse of brothers is one of the greatest sweets of life.’’ Through the grove tnere runs a limpid stream that flows from a sparkling fountain containing a copious supply of that water described by John B. Gough as “ the liquor which God, the Eternal, brews for all his children.” Near this spring there arose a line of curling smoke from an ex tended pit, over which the veritable “ Luin ” Williamson presided, with a skill and industry to the highest degree commendable. Exposed to the fuming coals in the pit were nicely prepared car casses of various animals, on which spice, nut meg, vinegar, and various other things unknown to this deponent,” were being “basted, and rub bed. and mopped, and sprinkled, and salted, and poured,” in the most admirable manner. Around all, wreathed in happy smiles, was a large assembly of fair ladies and gallant gentlemen, all in attend ance upon a “Barbacue,” given by the “I. 0. 0. F.” of the above Lodge, and to which all neigh boring Lodges had been invited. Being a mem ber of the fraternity myself, I repaired to the Lodge where I had the pleasure of meeting with more than a hundred brethren “of like faith an order.” A procession was formed and marched to a stand prepared for the occasion, and from which there floated a gorgeous scroll containing, in flaming let ters, the following motto: “Odd-Fellowsliip, the Friend of the Widow and Orphan.” After an Ode of Welcome, ami a fervent prayer by the Chaplain, Col. D. B. Woodruff, of Macon, Ga.. was introduced, who, in a happy style and pointed manner, addressed the audience. Amid the cheers of the brethren. Col. Woodruff took his seat, and the Rev. W. W. Oslin was then intro duced. His address was full of imagery and pathos, elegant diction, * chaste language, and delivered in such a manner as to evince a heart full of the glorious principles to which he is so ardently devoted. Another beatiful Ode was sung, and then the large concourse of people gathered around a table 128 feet long. On this table was spread, in rich profusion, all kinds of provisions known to the most devoted follower of Epicurus—all thorough ly, nicely, daintily, and even elegantly prepared. You may have heard of people doing full justice to matter and things in general, but you never saw it in particular, unless you had been at that table ; and no one who was there blamed another for it. for everything was good, everything was nice, every thing was free, and everybody was welcome. Dinner being over, the brethren again repaired to the Lodge, where the Rebecca degree was con ferred on 59 candidates for that beautiful journey once traveled bv the mothers of Israel/ Then, without a single breach of good manners to mar the proceedings of the day. all quietly returned to their homes, in full faith of the glorious principles found linked together in the golden chain ot F. L. T. Rambler. COUNTR-V GLIMPSES. Religious Meeting. Mr. Editor :—A meeting has been going on at Galilee (Christian) church since last Friday night. There have been eight access ions, and the interest is unabated. The meeting is conducted by Elders Lamar, Foster and Doster, and these worthy, ear nest heralds of the Cross are doing a great and good work in our midst. May this good work continue. Our Hoe-cake Ridoi;r„ Once in my time, I was wending my way quietly to a sale. I was prompted to this trip by noticing upon the post of a sign-board where several roads met, the following : “ I shel purceed to seel to the highest bidder on Saterday, the 3rd day of J anewarv next, at the late David Double Esq., together with all the horses, muels, sheep and hoges. Cash on all sums of five dollars and under, and a credit of twelve raont on the ballance. Bond with approved sekurity will be rekuired.” etc. On my way to this sale, a group of horse men overtook me, from which I will single out one for description, that you may have a graphic sketch of the sort of folks and horse 9 that lived thereabouts. Wert thou ever ou Hoecake Ridge? and hast thou ever met in winter a thoroughbred native of that region, mounted upon his little shaggy pony, “ skelp ing on througn dub and mire,” like Tam O’Shanter? Here he was to-day in his ele ment, dressed in nankin pantaloons, and a thin.cotton jacket, and riding in the teeth of a strong north-wester, singing “ Hail Colum bia.” His saddle had no skirts, having been robbed of these useless appendages by some rogue who wanted a pair of brogues ; his bri dle had as many knots as the sea-serpent. But I must notice his pony, whose head and neck may be aptly represented by a maul and its handle. His tail is six inches long, and standing at an angle of forty-five degrees with his back; his hair is long* and shagg}'; he is cat-hammed, and his chest so narrow, that his forelegs almost touch one another; his eyes snap firo when you plague him. You may talk of improving the breed of horses. Tell me not of your Steeles, your Eclipses, your Arabians ! They may be all very well in their places, but this pony is the animal for the Hoecake Ridge country, lie can bite the grass, which is absolutely invisible to human eyes, aud subsist upon it. If you would give him six ears of corn twice a daj T ANARUS, he would be almost too fat to travel. He never stumbles. Give him the reiu, and he will pick his path as carefully as a lady. Ilis powers of endurance exceeds the camel's. Ilia master is a sot, and his horse will stand all night at a tippling shop, gnawing a fence rail; he almost prefers it to a cornstalk which has been lying out all winter—his common food. When his master comes forth aud mounts, he studies attitudes. If the rider reel to the right, tßfc pony leans to the star-board side; if to the left he tacks to suit him. If the master fall, he falls clear, having no girth to his saddle, and the pony does not waste time in useless meditation upon accidents that will happen to the best of us, but moves homeward with accelerated velocity, leaping every obstacle in his way to his brush stable. It was my good fortune to drop in along side of the man who was mounted upon this incomparable animal, and complimenting him upon his philosophy in the selection of his song and the dexterity of his horse, I soon found he was a great politician, and we chatted most agreeably until our arrival at the place of the sale. He was a violent and politics arc different matters altogether. You may be a great politician you know, without a particle of literature. Politicians are the last people in the world to bear a joke, and if I had even glanced at his dis course, he would not have submitted to the interference, but would have seen “more devils than vast hell can hold.” The world must therefore be content to lose the humor ot my singular acquaintance, as I cannot possibly do justice to his conceptions with out the mention of names, and he and his comrades upon the occasion alluded to are still living. I shall die, though, unless I find some occasion of disclosing them, for old Ilardcastle’s man Diggory was never more diverted at the story of the grouse in the gun-room, than I was at the political con ceits of my Iloecake-ridger. Yours with a vim, Timothy Puck Tuomui*ton. Galilee. July 21st, 1875. While on our “winding way” to the re union, the other day, we had pointed out to us a curiosity—which might not be consider ed much of a “curiosity,” either. It present ed, at first glance, the appearance of a hollow oak stump ; is some 18 inches through, and about a foot high. But what seems to be considered strange about it is, that it is green; the hollow has water in it nearly or quite all the time ; and whatever it may be termed, it is contemporaneous with the oldest inhabitant.
