HAWKINSVILLE, GA., THRUSDAY, JANUARY 18, 1872. Guvrrmir Elect Junto ML Mnlifc, A 7. A ROE EXCLUSION OF ATLANTA CIT IZENS ANU LEAPING LEGISLATORS 00 TO MEET HIM. From the Atlanta Constitution. Yesterday a large excursion party composed of the Mayor and City Council and hosts of the leading cit zens of Atlanta, and a large number of members of the Legislature, and other prominent Georgians now in the city, went down the Atlanta and West Point Railroad to Fairburn to welcome Governor elect James M. Smith. Two elegant cars were crowded to their; ul most capacity. A general feeling of enthusiasm pervaded lltc parly. The Mayor, Mr. James, was in charge.assisted by General Anderson, the Marshal. The prospect of a good, old-time Demo cratic Governor inaugurating a rule of old-fashioned Georgia houcs'y, seemed to pul all in the best possible humor. The pulpit, the press, the bar, the merchants, the law makers, in fact, the people, were represented on this pleasant and auspicious occasion. Our good, solid men turned out in honor of the occasion, as they should. Arriving at Fairburn, wc met the West Point train, with the Governor elect and a few friends, among whom wc noticed his partner, Colonel Alex ander. The Governor elect was met by the Mayor and conducted to the platform aiouiid which the large crowd gather cd. Colonel N. J. Hammond made a most appropriate and graceful ad dress, eliciting repeated applauses at his happy points. He touched briefly but eloquently upon the 10112 experience of had rule that the State had experienced, dur ing which time there hail been a |H*r fect carnival of villainy. He held up scathingly to view the reign of rob bery under which wo had lived, a reign paralyzing industry and retard ing prosperity, a reign that had drawn together by the cohesive pow er ot public plunder, backed by mili tary tyranny, the had men from eve rv quarter into our high places.— Warming up with this theme, the speaker gracefully alluded to the at titude of the virtuous nn<J intelligent people comprising the Isidy of the citizens of Atlanta. Through this whole era of misrule and corruption, Atlanta had stood true to right. Though the Radical constitution con tained a hrilK l for the city in the form of the removal of the cnpitol here. l»y an overwhelming majority, Atlanta had voted against the Con stitution and its own immediate local interest, thus shiuingly vindicating the purity of its Democracy and the lustre of its honor. „ The speaker then congratulated, in behalf of the city, the common wealth upon the election. He deli cately complimented Colonel Smith as one who would join in the great work of purifying the administration ot the State government and do a heavy share in cleansing the Augean stables of their monstrouoand accumulated filth. His remitrks were especially happy and warmly cheered. W ind» ing up with reiterating the extention of its welcome so cordially extended to the new executive elect by the cit izens of Atlanta, he closed amid great applause. Colonel Smith responded briefly, but in a felictious manner. Fervent ly returning his thanks for the compli ment of this ovation, he modestly declined any appropriation of it to himself personally, but recognized it as the manifestation of the gratitude of the good people of the common wealth at the overthrow of villainy and corruption in the administration of State affairs. Forcibly adverting to this corruption, he pledged him self to the honest discharge of his du ty in the great work of hunting out and rectifying the numerous abuses to which the .State has been subjected. Paying a glowing tribute to the pow er of honesty, he promised a warm cru sade aga in st the put ndeoers of tbe Bta to. Sliding that the occasion was entire ly unexpected, and his remarks utter ly unpremeditated he continued in a strain of strong, forcible, manly, sen sible talk, characteristic of Uie man. and making a most agreeable impres- -The Stand siou upon his hearers. He was re- Istatedly cheered, and closed reitera ting his thanks for the courtesy paid ltim, and giving strong assurance of his purpose to stand by the people, and discharge faithfully the duties of his office. The traiu moved off amid loud cheering. During the brief passage to the city, wine and champagne flowed freely. Tho best of feeling pervaded the pleased excurtionists. Tho time sited away swiftly in con versation. The gentlemen crowded around the Governor-elect to offer their congratulations. At the depot, an immense crowd was gathered. The large car-abed was fillod with an eager, curious de lighted crowd to greet Col. Smith. Wc noticed several Republicans there. Wc joked one about bis being unable to lesist the temptation of joining in the public joy that the good, old honest times were coming back to us. He owned up. It is Impossible to estimate the force and depth of the popular rejoic ing over the advent into powci of an honest Executive. The redemption of a great people from the thraldom of vicious rule is an occasion for thanks giving. The belief is general that the State enters on anew era of pro gress. Andy Johnson’* Friend*. Neal Drown, in the seventy-second year of his age, died in Raleigh last Friday. They shovelled the clods on his dead -hotly and made a mound out yonder in the City Cemctarjr, near the tomb of Jacob Johnson, the old father or the ex-I’resident of these United States. nr. CAMMED ANDY'S PACK. When Andy Johnson left Raleigh a poor tailor l>oy at old Mr. Litch. ford’s shop, Neal Rrown went out with him for two or three miles, and carried on his back, wrapped up in an old pieee of carpet, all the worldy goods that the poor tnllore-boy then INissenocd. They shook bauds under an old tiec three miles from here ami dashed the tears from their eyes, and tin: two boys separate I. Tit Kin nESPErrvir.fortunes. She did it.! Andy got him a wife, and she was ambitions and put him tostuddyiiig his book. Years rolled On. Tennessee had to choose a Governor and the husband of that wife was called to this high office. A little la ter some one had to be sent to the American Senate, and the same man went to Washington. The Muse of History*, with her iron pen, had al ready written him Alderman,Govern or and Senator. She now turns to the gilded page of Fame, and writes him President of the United States! A GOOD QUIET LIFE. Under the old oak tree they gaug’d aw*’. N'enl Drown came hack to his tradesroom as a young hatter, and Andy trudged on to battle for iiis aerie of fame a little higher up in the mighty forest of notoriety. Neal Rrown kept quiet in Raleigh, worked on, was sobber, married a nice lady, made hats in the day, heard the crickets chirp on the hearth stone at night, handled the babies, and died as he had lived, a quiet, bouest man, seventy-two years old. ANDY WON’T 00 BACK. Andy Johnson never went back on his little hatter friend, even when Andy was a great President and his little boy friend was nothing more than old man Neat Drown, the hatter. When the Chief Magistrate visited this city, and when high and low crowded around him, and the palaces of the rich and proud were itching to receive him, he asked where Neal Brown lived. And had that meeting been lt-s cordial, the President would have been unworthy of bis high place. —Raleigh Carolinian. Tragedy jn Lee CountT'-—The Macon Telegraph of the 9tk says it learns that a man named Green Mayo wit* shot and is supposed Uo have since died, at Starkville. on Saturday afternoon, by the sheriff of Lee coun ty. Wc did not hear ail the circum stances of the killing, but it is said, however, that the Ffeeritf was greatly provoked to use vioieace by Mayo, upon whose property he had been or dered to lev? »b axcoatio* Probable War between Spain and llte United Males, Tho news from Washington indi cates that Spain and the United States may finally get in the notion to pull each other’s wool before the war ends in Cuba. Spain is becom ing more cruel than ever in the treat ment of Cuban prisoners, and her barbarity calls for rebuke at the hands of the American Govcrnmcrt. It will be only a few years before Cuba belongs to the United States, and tho present war between that island and Spain will no doubt lead to its annexation to tlie United States A correspondent of the Boston Post says information has reached the Ail ministration at Washington that out rages have l>een perpetrated upon American citizens in Cuba within a few days that call for remonstrance from our Gov rnment; that the tone qf the Spanish jieoplc and Volunteers is insulting and defiant to our Gov ernment and its citizens, and it be comes necessary to have an ample naval force in the proper po-ution to vindicate the dignity of the United States. In corroboration of this it may be stated that at the Navy Yard in Washington every department is actively engaged. AH the vessels that are serviceable arc being made ready for sec as fast ns possible. The same activity is oliservable in other navy yards, especially in Philadel phia, where five vessels nrc being put in readiness for sea service. The Worcliestcr, which is now lying at lioston, will, it is said, be recommis sioned at an early day. In tho Navy Department all the force is engaged making out orders for transfers of offi cers and vessels, and even retired officers are being called into active service, and leaves of altscnce to oth ers are being revoked. Such are some of the demonstrations out of which is deduced the conclusion that we arc on the eve of a war with Spain. How a Kentucky «lrl Wiunmc.l nn Elopement. From the Nashville Danner, Dee. 21.1.) A rattier romantic runaway affair octal red at Franklin, Ky., eaily on Friday evening. The father of a cer tain young lady of that plaee had re fused to give his consent to her mar riage, and had treated her lover with great harshness, on account, it is al leged, of his being poor. Hut though love does not, in most instances, run particularly smooth, nothing can pre vent two happy hearts from uniting their destinies for better or for worse, whenever the owners so resolve. To make our story brief, a plan was con cocted l>y which the pair were to run down to Mlchcllvillejust this side of the State line, where arrangements had been made the day previous with a magistrate to perforin the ccremo. ny. The fond couple appeared at the depot at Franklin shortly after five o’clock on the morning mentioned. It having been suggested by some unfeeling wag that they might possi bly be overtaken by her irate father, and their blissful hopes blasted at the very moment of realization, the bridegroom ixsearac considerably de moralized, but was soon reassured by his pluckier companion who coolly remarked, 44 1 don't sec how he can ; I really don’t He lives threo miles from here, and if he eoines he will hare to walk. He can’t make .the distance afoot Iteforc the arrival and departure of the train. I foresaw the danger of such a denouement last night ami made my arrangements ac cordingly. I went to the stables, hid ali the bridles, locked the doors ami threw the keys away. When I left home this morning mother and father were asleep. I quietly turned the key on them and threw, it away, too." . It need hardly be said that her ex planation was highly satisfactory. The train rolled in at 5:57, the lovers jumped aboard and were married at 6:20 at Michellville, on the arrival of the train at that place. The girl was certainly worto tho trouble of winning, but we hare a no tion that if her husband tries to kick out of the matrimonial traces the keys will be turned or bios, too, some of these days.
