The ceremonies in the forenoon
were conducted in the Methodist Epis
copal Church. After the Invocation
from Rev. C. W. Lane, and reading of
the Scriptures by Rev. A. J. Jarrell,
came a fine burst of vocal music by
the united Schools. Theu Addresses
were delivered as follows :
By Master Charles Drake, repre
senting the Presbyterian School :—
Master Joel Walker representing the
Baptist School : Master Wynne rep
resenting the Midway School : and
Mister Eddie Bell representing the
Methodist School. Each address was
followed by vocal and instrumental
music from the respective Schools

These were followed by Mr. John A.

the audience generally. His subject
was happily adapted to the occasion,

The young people, and the public
generally, who were in attendance,
repaired after Mr. Orme’s address to
the old Capitol Building, where they
partook of a sumptuous feast which
fair hands had provided for the occa

devoted themselves with commenda

the gay groups dispersed themselves
through the building and the beauti

been showery in the forenoon, became
fair in the afternoon; and the whole
occasion “succeeded” with that felici

JID6E IIAKU1S’ ADDRESS.
At the solicitation of the Lecture
Club, Hou. Iverson L. Harris of our
city delivered an Address (one of the
series now in progress) in the old Sen
ate Chamber, to the order of Good
Templars, and to the public. At an
early hour, on the evening of the 23d
inst, a large assemblage ot the beautt
and the intelligence of Milledgevill
was assembled in the Chamber so in
timately connected with the past glo
ries of the Statesmen and of the State
of Georgia, when the eloquent and
distinguished Orator of the evening
delivered a most interesting address, ot
which the following is a meagre syn
opsis.
The speaker opened his address
with some allusion to the histoiy of
the Hall in which the audience was
assembled, and the hope that the State
would yet do herself, and our city, the
justice to restore the Capital to us.
The Seat of Government was first fix
ed by Gen. Oglethorpe at Savannah,
as the founder of the State. Thence
it was removed to Augusta when Sa
vannah fell into the hands of the Brit
ish in 1779—and again, when the lat
ter followed the fate of Savannah, was
removed to Louisville. These remo
vals resulted from the exigencies of
the war—not from legislation. Geor
gia was under no pledge to any of
these places. In 179-5 -the unscrupu
lous speculations of the Land Com
pany, and the odious legislation they
had the influence to compass, greatly
provoked the indignation of the peo
ple, and led to the final cession to the
General Government of the territory
now constituting the States of Alaba
ma and Mississippi. The treaty of
1S03 with the Creek Indians gave to
the white settlers of Georgia the ter
ritory lying between the rivers Oconee
and Ocmulgee; and immediately there
after, the Legislature of Georgia set
about providing a 'permanent Capital
for the State. The borders of the
State were at last fixed such a3 they
were to remain, and have remained.
Centialitij of location was of course, and
justly, considered of importance iu the
selection of a site. A committee for
the purpose was raised ; and after suf
ficient exploration, the present site of
Miliedgeville was unanimously agreed
on as the site of the permanent Capital
of Georgia.
Not only was this spot blessed with
the element of centrality considered
with reference to the boundaries ol the
State, but it possessed numerous oth
er recommendations. The Oconee
River near this point w T as navigable to
to the sea : above this place, it fell
over the magnificent cascades oppo
site to us this evening created by the
last ledge of the granitic formation
where the latter yields with a grace
ful declination to the tertiary region
sloping to the sea-shore. No fewer
than seven fine bold springs of pure
water gushed from the seven hills of
the site of Miliedgeville. The space
was covered with monarch oaks of gi
gantic size and pre-historic antiquity
—now unhappily destroyed to make
room for the less majestic intruders
from foreign lands which make our
shade in later years. By a unanimous
vote, the place was selected ; and a
handsomer, healthier, more fertile or
beautiful site for a future city could
not have been found in the limits of
Georgia.
The legislature adopted the Report
of the Committee; the State had the
title to the land; the future Seat of
Government was declared by law to
be permanently located here. Such
was the verbiage of the act. Lots
were laid ott‘, and purchasers paid
enormous prices lor them in couse
quence of that public pledge. Prior
to this period, no permanent Capital
had been made. The removal of the
Seat of Government to Atlanta, aside
from its bad policy in other respects,
was an infraction of this contract be
tween the State in lS03,and the pur
chasers (and their “assigns forever”) of
property in Miliedgeville. There is
not a Court in Christendom which,
upon principles of Equity, would not
decree damages to the injured real
estate owner in Miliedgeville—injur-
red by the depreciation of the value
of his property resulting from the re
moval of the Capital—it the State
were a private individual aud not a
public corporation. Another fact is
worthy of mention. The cost of the
original building in which we are as
sembled this evening came not from the
pockets of the tax-puijcrs of the State.—
Every dollar of it was raised by the
sale of lots at enormous prices which
the lots commanded because the State
had declared Miliedgeville to be the per
manent Capital! One lot, as he had
always heard from boyhood up, sold
for near $4000 ; a lot of one acre and
covered by primeval forest! It was
considered the key lot to the future
place of trade. The lot on which
Mr. Mapp now resides containing oue
acre also, wholly unimproved except
by its majestic oaks planted by the
hand of Nature, and remote from the
Capitol, sold for $700.
The speaker was brought hither, an
infant in his mother’s arms, in the
early settlement of Miliedgeville.—
The original settlers of the place
were made up chiefly of three classes.
1. Mechanics who found here occupa
tion in building up a new city. 2.
Hotel and Boarding-house keepers,
whose vocation was necessary to ac
commodate the members of the legis
lature and others at their recurring
sessions, &c. 3d. Officers and employ
ees of the State Government, who
were required by law' to reside at the
Seat of Government. A 4th class
was soon added—a large number ol
Doctors. These men were frugal and
industrious. Mention was made ol a
number of mechanics and others in
humble circumstances who b) T frugal
ity and industry in their respective
callings amassed large fortunes which,
in a lew instances, their descendents
are enjoying. In those days, the good
citizens of Miliedgeville were free from
the tyranny of Fashion, and distin
guished for hospitality. The early
history of the city was then traced
with great vivacity and some minute
ness by the eloquent speaker and the
changes which have attended the loca
tion of the business houses, as well as
the fashionable residences, of the city

peared, at least from tbe Speaker’s
knowledge.
Among the changes the Capitol
grounds have sustained, the speaker
tlluded to a beautiful Indian Mound
-vhich had stood, at the settlement of
Miliedgeville, a few yards south east
from the building and had disappeared:
a change without improvemrnt. A live
ly picture of the early schools of Mil
ledgeville was given, and a just trib
ute paid to the sound, vigorous and
healthy mode of instruction then in
vogue. The speaker had some recol
lections of a personal nature of the
ferule as administered with just dis
crimination by a most admirable fe
male teacher of little boys and girls in
that day.
The original newspaper of Miliedge
ville was “T/ie Argus” whose editor
was Mr. Dennis L. Ryan. The next
was the Georgia Journal conducted by
the Grantland brothers who came as
printers to Miliedgeville, and who by
falentsof a very h'gh order, great en
ergy and worth of character, exercis
ed a great and salutary influence in
the State. One of them, Hon. Seaton
Grantlaod, had been our Representa
tive in Congress, and left behind him
a large fortune which his industry aud
sagacity had built up.
A vivid picture was then drawn of
Capt. Ambrose Day, one of the early
“ press-gang” of Georgia. Mislor-
tunes in business clouded his early
prospects ; and he had drowned all his
usefulness in the fatal gulf of intoxi
cating drink. A faithful portrait of
him us he appeared in his sad deca
dence of character and fortune exists
somewhere in Miliedgeville, and should
be carefully preserved. It would be
well for the Good Templars to pro
cure it: No more striking illustration
of the ruin alcohol brings on its vota
ries could be fouud. The speaker al
luded to the final location of business
houses of Miliedgeville at their present
quarters, after two previous removals
Prior to this, a fine spring of running
water flowed from the site of the pres
ent Drug Store of Mr. Jno. M. Clark,
down a deep ravine which then occu
pied the space between that drug
store and the present Masonic Hall
building. In those days, the stage
arrivals from Augusta crossed this ra
vine ; and it was so deep that bystand
ers at a very short distance from the
scene, lost sight of the entire stage,
team, driver and all, when in the
depths of the ravine. In those days,
prior to the ruin the cultivation ol
cotton lias wrought on the soil of mid
dle Geoigia—before the soil had been
washed into the streams—a great
abundance of the finest fishes were
readily caught in the Oconee River and
m Fishing Creek. Now those streams
are continually muddy—their beds
filled with sand—and the scale fishes
have almost disappeared. When
steamboats first ascended the Oconee
River, the absence of the shad (which
was observed about that period) was
popularly attributed to the fright
which these fishes experienced at the
unearthly noises of steamers!
Among the earlier reminiscences of
Milledgeville, the speaker described
the ducking of a common scold, under
solemn sentence of the law, in the
Oconee river, by the High Sheriff of

code. The speaker had also seen about
the year IS 14 or 1SI5, a man executed
for the passing of a So counterfeit bill!
The present temper of the age, and
resultant change of laws, in these in
stances, are striking illustrations of
progress.
The Speaker alluded to the location
of the Penitentiary in Milledgeville as
the primary cause of serious evil to
this town. Competition between the
mechanics living here prior to the es
tablishment of the Penitentiary, and
the convicts who had been put to learn
trades during confinement, and had re
mained here after their discharge, had
resulted unfavorably. A Mechanics’
Society, composed ot more than eighty
members was in existence here until
the Penitentiary entered into compe
tition with them in all departments of
business. Many highly honorable fam
ilies were mentioned by name, whose
ancestors had been worthy aud indus
trious mechanics in the early days of
Milledgeville. The speaker dwelt em
phatically on the point that in the
early and better days of Milledgeville
there was no “ aristocracy” here. He
seemed to think the genuine article was
scarce here, and everywhere in America,
even now. The aristocracy of honest
industry and frugality evidently en
gross the chief admiration of the speak
er for that exalted order ot human be-
ings.
The speaker’s remarks were re
sponded to frequently by bursts of
merited applause. We trust he may
be induced at an early day to resume
these admirable and instructive remin
iscences.
