Excursion From Bainbridge .to Apa
lachicola, Fla.
Tbc morning of the 17th instant, the day
»ct apart .for the excursion from this point
to Apalachicola, Fia., dawned beautiful
aud bright, npon tbe inhabitants of the
•Oak City.’ Tuatbrilliant orb of day rose
amid a clear blue sky in all it's majestic
splendor—the gentle winds sung sweet
lullaby's among thd stately oak* that bor
der the banks of the classicThronatceska —
Nature done her best for the occasion, and
•eeroed to vie with the beauty and chival
ry assembled upon the river banks, just
previous to the hour of departure.
At 9 o'clock a. m. the shrill notes of the
vrhistle reminded every one, especially
those gents that had gone up town io get
a little extra 'baggage' that it was time to
jfet aboard, consequently the party rushed
On the boat—the‘baggage’crowd arriving
jnst in time. Soon the Steamer Atlanta,
commanded by Capt. Blain, amid the cheers,
waving of handkerchiefs See., from the
party on shore and those aboard, sped
Uway 'adown the rapid river’ with the
moßt precious cargo, (the gentlemen cx»
ceped) that ever embarked from the city
of Oaks.
We here append a list of the names cf
Excorsiouists :
H. H Bpear, W. C. Rockwell, A T Reid and
lady, W Warfield) Kon R H Whiteley aud lady,
W M Williams, T F Dickinson, Nod Henderson,
W D Maxwell, J E Donalson, Louis Cohen, L O
Jackson, Rev R W Dixon and lady, J. R. Hayes,
Joe S Desverges, H S Jones, Bainbridge ; A S Can
net, Tom Stanford, Savannah ; R J Binford, New
Orleans; J. P. Coker, Marianna, Fla ; Misses M H
McMilleu, Georgia Bowue, T Peria, Hattie Mun

*.‘>o, Sallie Sanborn, Belle Babbit, Minnie Wooten,
>hs's Collier, M A King. Lizzie Rutherford, Bairn,
bridge ; Mrs. Sallie Cam field, Albany.
A* soon as the boat was fully under
way, that genial, clever and whole-souled
gentleman, the projector of the excursion,
h. 0. Jackson, announced that Lewis Robb
was aboard with his string ban! and
ready to discourse sweet music to all those
that wished to participate ip the giddy
dance.
Louis then was quickly called
And drew his bow across his fiddle,
The set being formed, Camiet bawled,
Firstfoui forwaid up and down the middle.
The dance continued until we arrived at
'Chattahoochee, fifty miles distant; at that
point we halted a short time to take
on a few passengers. The beauties of
Decatur county, rushed to the front deck
and formed a beautiful boquet of lovely
maidens. The willows aud evergreens
boidering on the liver side, bowed sub
•Biisively to their superior sway. '
Immediately after we left Chattnhoochee,
the dancing again continued until we
reached Apalacchicola.
At Cedar Bluff and Aspalaga distance 9
and 12 miles from Chattahoochee, we halt
ed for a lew moments ; these places are
environed by beautiful magnolias, cedars,
oaks, &c. The scenery upon the rivet
from the latter points to Ochccse, the next
landing on the river is equal to any we
have seen on any liver in the South ; at
this point the boat landed a sufficient
length of time for those of the excursion'
ists who desired to go ashore to ramble
throogh the beautiful yard of Mr. Gregory,
a resident of that place.
We arrived at Apalachicola, 10£ P, M.
•—it being late all hands remainedon board.
There not being sufficient room in the
cabins for the entire party, the lady’s oc«
cupied the births, while the gentlemen con
tented themselves with pallets in the hall,
and would have had a good nights rest, if it
had not been fora morciiaut of Bainbridge,
that don't measure quite sixteen feet high,
and a certain furniture dealer that accas*
sionly composesdoggercl verses. Nearly ev
ery one on board were of the opinion that
these two worthies were escaped lunatics,
or fit subjects for the Asylum, judging
from the antics cut by them on theii pal
lets—We did not judge them so harshly,
Lut came to the Very liberal conclusion,
that they had once belonged to a traveling
circus, and were practicing some of tbeir
t>M tricks.
Early next morning (he drinking portion
of the gentlemen aboard, sallied up town,
and commenced ‘smelling 1 around for a
'we dtap of spirits/ they were not long in
finding a p.ace that contained the genuine
‘blue ruin every one touched it lightly,
except one poor fellow who had evidently
keen flirted with by some heartless maiden,
we remonstrated with him and told him
that he was imbibing too freely, but it had
»o effect. He said :
Believe me, less fatal are jalips,
Than woman in witcheiy skilled ;
For there ooee-s more venom from two-lips
Than ever from grain was distilled.
barters for beauty his whisky,
Ttfetbailge will be certain to rue.
For her «yes shed a spirit more frisky
Than lurkj * n the best “mountain dew.”
If whisky mak*s me 14 brute, love is able
To turn me a fool with hku ;
If the one lays me under tl v tfcb.e.
T’other ha» brought me at lea'* I? rny koe^s.
We sympathized with the poor fellow
and allowed him to diown bis sorrows} in
the cup After breakfast, the ladies and
gentlemen strolled around the once lflour
ishing,' but now dilapidated and almost
deserted city of Apalachicola. A few of
the excursionists were once residents of
Apalachicola, and while sauntering around
the place we observed sorrow depicted or
their countenances. Just think of it ; a
place that once had about four
thousand inhabitants and received each
season from 150,000 to 175,000 bales of
cotton, and now has a population not
ceediug five hundred, and does not receive
200 bales.
Going up one of the principal streets, we
found ourselves in front of the Curtis
House, formely kept by onr felioWvtowns
man Mr. John Sharon, the present proprie
tor of the Sharon House —this house is a
model of beauty aud contains forty rooms—
the yard is beautiful, and was certainly
arranged by t’ u e hand of taste and geniotis.
We were surprised to learn that the rent
paid for this elegant budding was ouly
$l5O per yp'ar. Good dwellings rent for
f.Te dollars per month. Wo noticed at least
fifty, three story buildings unoccupied, and
the large wharf which we have often seen
covered with cotton, is now grown up in
weeds.
At 9 o’clock a. tn. ths boat left the
wharf, with the party on board for the brig
distant, for the purpose of loading with
railroad iron. Some few of the ladies that
had never seen salt water, were a little
afraid to go out into the bay, for fear of
gettiug sea-sick ; but fortunately the bay
was as smooth as a lake, consequently no
one was the least effected. The time was
spent in the forenoon with dancing, music,
euchre, ‘old sledge,* See. In the afternoon
three small sailing vessels were chartered
and all hands sailed across to St. George
Island, distant four miles. The party
remained on the Island for some time, gath
ering shells and other Curiosities that had
been washed up from the briny deep. We
returned to the strainer Atlanta, just in
time for supper, all, pretty weil fagged out.
We omited to mention that Genetal Holt,
President of the Southwestern Railroad*
Captain Sam Whitesides, and a fo» w other
gentlemen who had been on a fishing frolic
joined us at Apalachicola, and went out in
the bay with us. We must say that
General Holt, is one of the most genial,
clever and wholesouled gentlemen we ever
met, and contribiDed a grant deal towards
making the trip a pleasant one. We left
the bay at 4 o'clock a. m. and anived a*
Apalachicola at 9. We remained at that
point until 12 m. when we shoved out for
home. Immediately after the boat left the
Apalachicola wharf. Louis Robb was called
for, and the dancing was resumed, and
continued urtil the boat an ived at Bain
bridge. On our way up tlm gentlemen
that did not participate in the dance
amused themselves by shooting those am
phibious animals, that will bite a hog in a
minute:
A tew miles below our terminal point,
(Bainbridge.) Mr. L. 0. Jackson asked the
entire party to assemble within the cabin
His request was obeyed. After the party
assembled, on motion of Mr. J. E. Donul
son, T)i. H. S. Jones was calied to the
chair, and Mr. Win. YVavfield requested to
act as Secretary. Motion carried. Mr.
Donalson then moved that a committee of
three be appointed to draft resolutions, ex
pressing thanks to the Captain and crew
for their gentlemanly bearing, uniform
kindness, &c., during the excursion. Dr.
Jones appointed upon that commitjee, Hon.
R. H. Whiteley, John E. Donalson, and J.
R. Hayes Gen. Holt was called upon for
an address. He arose and remarked that
owing to the‘general rigmoraliiies,’ wine
would be better ; his motion was seconded
by Hon. R. H. Whiteley. Capt. White
sides was then called upon ; he said he
was no 'speechist,' and asked Geu. Holt to
do the talking for him. The General rose
and made a very neat aud appropriate
speech.
We arrived &t Bainbridge twentv min
ntes past two p. m. Every one of the ex
cursionists seemed to be highly delighted
with their trip and hoped ere long to have
another of the same sort. So mote it be.
We hereto annex the resolutions drawn
up by the c mmittee appointed by Dr. H.
S. Joues, Chairman, aud to which we have
already referred :
THANKS TO THE OFFICERS AND CREW OF THE
STEAMER ATLANTA.
We, the excursionists, on the trip from
Bainbridge to Apalachicola, desiring to
express otir apprecialmn of the cnuduct of
the officers and crew of the* steamer Atlan
ta’ during the excursion, assembled in the
hall and organized by calling Dr. H. S.
Jones to the chair, and reqUesti ng Mr. W.
Warfield to act as Secretary: On motion
a committee of three were appointed, to
which the chairman was added, to report
a resolution of thanks to the officers and
crew of the steamer Atlanta. The corn-*
inittee reported as follows, which was
unanimously adopted :
That the excursionists, one and all, re
turn their hearty thanks to the gallant
officers and crew of the steamer Atlanta,
for their efficient services and gentlemanly
bearing during the excursion, and that
this resolution be published in the city
pap s.
After our arrival, in the afternoon, a par
ty of the fair ones of Bainbridge, ‘met and
expressed their thanks to Mt. Jackson, as
follows :
. ladies participating in the excur
sion on the steamer Atlanta, from Bain
budge t° Apalachicola, debiring to express
then thanks to Mr. L. Oscar Jackson for
his valuable services in originating and
perfecting the same; met on the 19'h inst.
and after usual organization resolved unan
iroiis'y aa follows.
That the ladies connected with the ex
cursion tender their sincere thanks to M'.
L. 0. Jackson for his valuable services in
connection with the same, and assuie him.
that bis kindness and attention contributed
largely to the complete success of the ex
cursion.
That the city papers be requested to
publish this ackimwedgment of our appre
ciation of Mr. Jackson’s kindness and at
tention. MISS MATTIE COX,
Miss Georgia Bownr, Presiding.
Secretary.
The Next Presidential Campaign—The
Standard Bearers.
The next Preaidental contest is destined,
if we view the political horizon correctly,
to be the hottest ever recorded in Ameri
can history. The Democratic party, learn
ing wisdom from sad and bitter experience,
is proving itself a match for the Republi
cans. The former will r* a ke a fight in tlie
C'.ihiing t'nat will startle even
Us most zealous partizms, because it will
bave laid aside dead issues and old fogy
leaders, and will meet the living
of the day ; it will merge its principles in
to a national platform upon which ail
patriots can The Democrats, af
ter incessant reverses, have at last arrived
at the practical conclusion that Republi
canism is the greatest political power in
the laud, t and knowing this they are setting
to work to remove it.
We do not belong to than sanguiue class
of individuals who believe that Radicalism
is doomed and damned every time the tele
graph flashes to us the intelligence that
some corporation or State has gone for the
Democracy. Neither are we certain that
the 4th of March, 1873, will witness the
inauguration of a Democratic President in
Washington, however flattering the pros*
poets of such an event nf)*y be, aud how
ever sincerely we may wish it. After
having laid down a broad, liberal platform
and selected leaders able to direct the
campaign, who are well up to the times in
which we live, we will be of the decided
opinion that Democracy will triumph,
though by no means certain of it.
Ihe safest ticket the Democracy could
bring out would be Governor Hoffman, of
New York, for President ; and Gen. W S.
Hancock, of the Army, for Vice-President.
They are ineu who have the entire confi*
deuce of the people both North and South.
John Quincy Adams, of Massachusetts,
ami Senator Thurman, of Ohio, would also
make a strong ticket.
The Republicans, too, are preparing for
the clash. Having the government patron
age in their grasp, they are like an army
in a strongly fortified position. They will
make the next fight more for mere existence
than for any particular principle. Their
success, too, depends a good deal upon
their leaders. Grant, though unpopular,
will more than likely head their ticket.
Suu-ner would make a better run. Butler
evidently would like to go before the peo
ple, but the has too much good
sense to allow it. It would'ut surprise us
if they selected a Northern find Southern
man tor their flag bearers, in t‘i«? event
Grant, Butlei & Go., cun be made doc'le.
It so, we think their men are, or should be,
."enator Trumbull, <>t Illinois, for President;
and Hon. Richard. H. YYliiieley, of Geor
gia, the ablest man of the party in the
Slate, or the South, for Vice-President.
We trust, however, for the success of
the Democratic cause, tb-it Grant will be
re-nominated.
Just as we go to pi ess, we learn that H.
I. Kimball, Esq., was elected President of
the Bainbridge, Cuthbert & Columbus Rail
road, at the recent meeting, held by the
stockholders of said company, at Cuthbert.
Maj. B F. Bruton was elected Vice-Presi
dent. Wc will have something more to
say about the matter in our next issue.
