Correspondence of the Telegraph.
Tot the Macon Tdflgnph.
Jfr. Editor: Suffer me to give your readers
an account of a meeting which I had the pleas
ure of attending yesterday.
The young ladies of tin —— district of this
county decided to give a dinner to the last vol-
urtccr company of this county, now nearly
complete. The gents united with the ladies in
preparations, and gave a general invitation to
everybody and their families. The dinner was
given at the academy near Dame’s church.—
On arriving in view of the place, the whole
woods seemed alive with horses and blockaded
with carriages. High in the breeze proudly
floated the beautiful Confederate flag, while
the sound ol hammers were to be heard pre
paring a stand for speakers. The Company
formed at the churcit, a distance of half a mile
from the academy, and marched up, led by

crowded tho road and thronged the woods for

the keen and shrill notes of the fife—the jar

the assembled hundreds at the academy, all
served to swell the hearts of the patriotic.
This is the last Company made up in this

a small reed shooting up from each, and from

Editor Daily Telegraph:
1 would write you some news if Ihould hear
any, but in the camp bore there is nothing of in*,
tereet transpiring except the anrlvafand deportuie
of troop*, and generally when the Utter takes
place, it mey. bp day* before we hear of the fact,
a* each Regiment U encamped to itself, Colonel
flemme’ Georgia Regiment left this morning for
Acquis Creek, where, “rumor’’ aajs, sharp work is
shortly expected. Howell Cobb's Regiment and a
portion of T. K. K. Cobb’* Legion, are • now en
camped here, and will Uke the field I suppose as
Col. Wofford’s Regiment, formerly the 1st Regl
meat of the 4lh Brigade, commanded by General
FhUUpe, now tho 18th Georgia Rcgfauent, and as
yet attached to no particular Brigade, arrived here
from Big 8hanty lest Thursday morning, and will
soon, doubt!spa, bo sent forward to Manassas or to
North Western Virginia. The balance of the 4th
Brigade, vis: Colonel Boyd’s .Regiment, the
Rifle Battalion, Colonel Jones; Artillery Battalion,
Colonel Stovall, changed, 1 believe to -Light In
fan try; and the Battalion of Cavalry, I learn are
at Lynchburg. ' . *
It is very gratifying, to os to learn that Gcorgi
ans are cotiddercd as number one by all classes
here. A Georgia button is an almost cerlain pass
port to favor, and the reply “GeorgU,” to the oft
repeated inquiry of “Where are you from f" never
fails to produce a smile of welcome on the face of
the questioner. I hope it may always Ire so, and
that Georgians, whrtlier s^ldfcrtni citizens, wher
ever they may be^ may by tbair. bravery in the
field and" gentlemanly deportment out of it, and in
aoeaal life, cause her name to be honored and re
spected. * . j!
There are mpny troopsAiow quartered around

and thirty thbdsand, as nearar tcan ascertain.—

recollect that the good of the service requires that
some things should not bo made-too public.

dition. They go into Cobli’s Legion.
Editor Daily Telegraph: . .
I notice with pleasure the card of Mr*. Maussen-
ct in your last paper in whioh she proposes to give
instruction in tho French language. And although
the times are hard and money is source, yet to
those who can afford the expanse, it- offers a very
favorable opportunity to our youth for obtaining a
knowledge of that language, whioh must soon be
come « necessity to the man of business* the trav
eller, and Ihete in the pursuit of pleasure,
France is soon to become our near neighbor,
when our Intercourse with Paris will bene intimate
as it Uaa-istaiy been with New York.
Now then ia the time when our youth should
prepare for thatlntefcoarsc by acquiring a knowl
edge of tho French Language. * '
A SUBSCRIBER.
edgevilloon 4tb September, and as afire as God and
Jeff' Davis preside over the Southern Confederacy,
they will select a Governor for this people, who like
Saul, will stand a bead and shoulders higher in their
esteem, than any nominee ot any past party who.
either by aooident or otherwise.’hns attained that
giddy Mot where with eye upturned lie longs to
alimn or creep .-'till higher, and scorning to look
down IVoi n whence he came, or ignoring the means
by which he attained bis elevation, in a paroxysm of
’'e would kick away the ladder that led him to the
on. ‘ ~efrom which he is so reluctant to descend.
I an. t much of a hand at figures, but I venture
to say (not “to predict" for I never was gifted with
the spirit of prophesy) that if 8d counties meet in Con-
venlim jtifltent eegmd teformer pmty tefiinqflqp|
will store fully represent the views of the‘ honest
masses' nt home, than wh. n d.-h-cates from ll'J
counties met in 4859. to renominate the present in
cumbent as the candidate of the democratic party.
1 am therefore clear in the conviction that Conven
tions ought to be held if the people irrespective of
party shall send delegates, both for selecting a can
didate for Governor, and tor each of the Cungres
sional Districts. As to what shall he done when the
country is “again unfortunately divided into politi-
ewl partite" I beg leave tsoflee stead a* old say
ing of .your honored grand mother, viz'i ‘‘Eerier
erost a iridge antil gOu get to it.
Yonr last inquiry in personal. You inquire if I
will oonsent to serve in the “Executive office,” if it
shall be the wish of tb« “masses of the people.” Of
course you mean the nett laboring masses” and I
take for granted that you mean me to servo as (Sot-
emor, (Tor 1 could not think of supplanting Colonel
Waters in tho office which ho Lotas with so much
profit to himself, and advantage to tbs “honest mas
ses”) and I answer, certainly 1 will consent to serve,
provided. I can ascertain “ the wish of the honest
masses ” before the elaation. And here it strikes me
a plain man, if he is honestly seeking to know the
wub" of the peoplw would aao an inexorable neces
sity for a Chnvention, to ascertain that “wish," But
1 have said enough os that stihjeet. ft is true that
I have not been repeatedly solicited to consent to serve
but I doubt not-if I wns.obcein.that every appoin
tee to effioe under my administration, sad several of
my friends besides, would urge me tc consent to re
main, and candor compels me to say. that I should
certainly consent tirserve for two terms, because the
second ia looked for as aa endorsement of the first
term,and all tho previous incumbents of the office
forthe past forty years, hare therefore felt justified
in seeking a ra-eleotkm, except Gov. «'<obb. who had
either higher aims or feared defeat. Hut nothing
coaM induce me to foist myself upon the people for
a third term, unless “multnw ambition, which o’er-
lenps its saddle SJid falls on the other side” were to
take possession of my heart, and drive out alt sense
of oommon decency and self respect. To do so
UMH betodisregard thejsrecedent -ot IhowiM
men and patriots, such- as Troup and McDonald,who
felt that to bbld on to office merely because by its
patronage they could do so, would show to the world
that they loved power m.-re than the public good.
A ml here 1 am again reminded of a favorite adage
ot your honored grand mother. '
“Give a beggar an inch he wttl take-au , ll,~
“Give him a horse he will ride to Hell.”
I can't say that my personal interest i r inrlioa-'
Uoaf prompt me to withold my consent. The tenor
oft!, is reply would prove that the latter considera
tion l,aa no weight with me. and as to tlo former I
think that the salary of the office (#400it with strict
ecnomy at tha Mansion, and the positive abnega
tion of all sinful extravagances on Levee occasions,
added to an arrangement which 1 hope to make with
the Railroad*, for free fere and' freight for self and
family, as wall as for butter, eggs, te , Irotn my farm,
I say I think the salary of fitouu will nett me fully as
murffi as if I remained at Ruggsboro, attending to
my own affairs. As for the character 1 may make,
ilu hardly worth a notice, simply because my char
acter la already made aa every other man’s is by the
time he is 30 years old, and as for reputation, why
tbs oflicecarw s that with it, and whatever is done
wrong will he out to (he debit ol my nppoioteffl, by
my mendij'whUo toy • o. inks will never give flfe^
credit for anything I may do. Betidus, in Revolu
tionary times, tho people have -something else to
look after, than such humbugs SS whether the Peni
tentiary or the SUte Railroad are making 'money.
Such enquiries as these do very wells* make weights
for or against an mcumbetit. when party strife rang,
high and nartie# are nearly equally divided ; be
cause theraj*-always a large nnmboi of fool# who
can be influenced by snclr«oMid«(*tionf. But the
.intelligent and “Mbe-t laboring masses'- knew fell
well that the profits of these depend almost entirely
if not altogether, upon tfie state <u trade and the ex
tent of the crops made ia .bach year- The faithful
officers held aa they are by tbo statute of IP*8. to a
rigid accountability,' wilt dothelr duty alter I have
given them places, and if S*0,P00p«r month doe* not
