m GEN. H R. JACKSON S TOAST. A Stirring Scene When theAugusta Ar»c- nalWas Taken. Speaking of tlie capture of the UnitcJ States arsenal in that city immediately after the secession of Georgia, the Augusta Chronicle says: Governor Brown was in Milledge* villa On the twenty-first day of Jan uary lie affixed his hand and great seal to the secession ordiancc. On the morning of the twenty-second he came to Augusta. He had decided that the flag ultl-t come down. Few people outside of the official circle knew exactly what the presence of Governor Brown meant in this city. It was given out that there was to a grand military review of the state mfitin. In the midst of a driving rain the different commands were muster ed in their armories and marched to the Planters Hotel. The troops were addressed by Governor Brown in stir ring terms. On account of the in clement weather they were dismissed until next day. The knowing ones on the inside, however, knew that Gov. Brown’s mission meant something more than a dress parade. In fact, Col. Henry R. JaeksoD.aidc de camp, of the Gov ernor, had already been dispatched to the United States arsenal with a note to Captain Arnold Elzcv, of the Second United States artillery,com mandant. This paper stated that Gcorgia^had resumed sovereignty over her soil, and that the Captain would be required to withdraw his troops beyond the limits of the State, as their retention was an act of hostility. Governor Brown added that while he desired to “cultivate amicable rela tions with the United States govern ment” he proposed to take charge of the arsenal himself. Captain Elzey refused peremptorily to surrender. Things now looked squally. Orders were issued lo the local militrry. Volunteers were ordered out. The Clinch Rifles responded witli SO men; Oglethorpe Infantry 90 'men ; The Irish Volunteers,Montgomery Guaads, Washington Artillery, Richmond Hus sars, Minute Men—companies A and B—showed lip in full fighting feather. Full detachments of militia, Burke Sharp Shooters and i’iney Woods Rangers were here. All told, nearly 1,000luen gathered under arms. Gen. Robert Y. Harris had general charge of the troops and the prospect for a battle was imminent. All that day Augusta was “in the saddle.” Couriers dashed about tbc streets, nud Gov, Brown remained quietly in his headquarters at the Planters Hotel. It was known that Captain F.l/.y had communicated with the author ities in Washington. It was midnight before the answer come. The Secre tary of War, Mr. Holt, regarded the Governor’s action as “harsh and premptory.” lie advised Capt. Elzey that if obliged to surrender by vio lence or starvation to stipulate for honorable terms. On the morningof the twenty-fourth, the troops were just about to march upon the arsenal, when a communica tion was received from Capt. Elzey. This officer asked for an interview with his excellency the Governor. The commands were carried hack to the barracks and hehl to await dcvel- opements. At lb A. M. Governor Brown, Gen. Harris, Col. Henry R. Jacksou, Col. W. H. T. Walker, and other members of the staff rode to the arsenal. There it was stipulated that the United States Hag should be lowered aud saluted; the property was receipted for, the United States troops to march out with military honors and given passage to New York. Out came the guns from their dead ly posture l>chiud the barracks. Thirty-three times ili<T their brazen throats salute the late Union of thirty- three States The interval before the last gun was a little longer than the others, and in that portentious pause the stars and stripes dropped like a riven sail in the face of a gathering storm. It was a painful lioui. There were old soldiers who had followed that tlag through the Mexican war ami had never seen it lowered. Springing to the front, Col. Henry It. Jackson offered a sentiment which arose in spite of himself: “The Stars and Stri|>es! may it never he disgraced while it floats over a true southern patriot.” Refreshments were served by Capt. Elzey, aud in the midst of a pleasant and gallant exchange of civilities, up went the jaunty .State flag—a white field with a single red star—emblem of the sovereignty of Georgia. l»oor, unfortunate Batrachian!
