Having accepted the invitation, they arrived in the town that evening, and in company with a considerable number of otir citizens, enjoyed the hospitality of Mrs. Russell, who had prepared a sumptu ous and elegant supper. Dr. Shaffer, who superintended the entertainment, took especial pains to make our guests feel easv and welcome. There was none of that stiff, precise for mality which we have sometimes witnessed on such occasions, and which robs the feast of half its pleasure. After supper, the older members of the party retired to the parlor, where they were agreeably entertained with music by a number of the young ladies—-while a portion of the young gentlemen and ladies were “tripping the light fantastic toe” in an adjoining room. Our people were much pleased with their guests ; and all present will join us in returning thanks to Mrs. Russell, Dr. Russell and Dr. Shaffer for their hospital ity and very pleasant entertainment. We take pleasure in inserting the fol lowing resolution of thanks: Engineers’ Gamps, Georgia Canai. Survey, On Yellow River, Near Russel’s Mill, Feb. 2, 1872. Col. Tyler M. Peeples, Ed. Gwinnett Herald, Dear Sir: At n meeting of the Engineer Corps, held in their camps, near Russel’s Mill, on the 2d instant, on motion, Capt. Oswald Dietz was called to the Chair, and Mr. 11. W.

The Chairman, in a few brief but eloquent remarks, explained the object of the meeting, which was to present a written testimonial of thanks to the citizens of Lawrenceville for the warm hospitality recently extended to us. A committee Was appointed to draft suitable resolutions expressive of our feel ings, a copy of which accompanies, hoping that you will do us the favor to publish it in the uext issue of your excellent jour nal.

We then fore simply tender our warmest thanks to the ladies and gentlemen of Lawrenceville, who honored us with their presence and warm greeting of friend ships. We now press forward with the great work witlrrencwcd energy, inspired as we are, with the conviction that tho people of Georgia are taking so lively an interest in it.
