almost prang <m<’"fvi*i»n like magic. |

the trees, v hose branches gave leafed protec
tion troll! the bright Sun's in;s, we sat down
to n le-ti"' scene that in nil that, gives life ils
Hnu in and iiienmri.'S te the future, wo rarely
~V c r saw excelled. Every luxury ot the sea
. n was before us: wine sparkled in the cup;
strawberries blushed red upon the table, and
humor with her plea-ant smile gracefully lit
up every face.
At the signal order. Capt. Lomax, of the
M. 1. Blues, rose npar.d welcomed all to their
hospitality—puidn graceful tribute to the man
ner in which they bad been received—compli
mented Macon and Macon men, herenterprise,
tier social cultivation, her architectural splen
dor and her prosperity ; and after a very elo
quent and appropriate speech, concluded by
giving as a Toii't, as well as wc can recollect:
The Indies ot Macon : in all that adds digni
ty ot can ennoble the sex they shine as bril
Jiant exemplars. Their refinement uud culti
vation. elegance and intelligence, must ever be
appreciated by her chivalrous and gallant sons.
After this ton-t bad been drank and cheer
ed. mid re-cheered, a call was made on Col. O.
A. Lochkane, of -l/aeon, to respond. This lie
did in a speech of which we have heard but
one opinion : that it was appropriate, brilliant
and gemmed with poetry. He paid a hand
some compliment to the soldiery around him :
thanked them for the toi«t in the name of the
.f/mon ladies; and said although n womans
man, no one would accuse him of flattering the
«ex I (this created a lon 1 applause.) Ho allu .
ded to the tallies in terms of eulogy. The mil
itary spirit had its birth with them—to pro- !
tect them would idv.njs be a soldier's duty.'
He then referred to the citizen soldiery and
excelled even liimselt in the strains of eloquence j
with which he reviewed their history all over
the world. His tribute to the mighty dead
whose arms left us a country to protect was
loudly applauded and as li pointed to the
blue fields above and exclaimed, I see them ,
pass before my mind in y,,nder sky to where,
<• On Enini's elerual ennipi.ig gruninf

lluuuit the Bivouuk of the dead,
there wa- n patriotic cheer. But we cannot
follow Ids flights farther. They could not be
put on paper, and all w ho know Col. J... know
when he speaks. lie does it Well.
Sergeant Galehell wits here called on from |
the M. 1. B's, but we regret the exercises < t
the encampment had tendered him too bourse
to he heard, ns he is famous fora song as well
as for his excellence in military ladies.
Capt. Hardeman being called on, respondi d ,
in a brief but witty speech, that kept the table I
m a roar. He said a great many good thing-. •
but the lan,, iof th . company deprived our
hearing them.
Lieut, llidtzclaw of the Montgomery Blues
being called upon, replied in a short speech, in.
w liich lie showed that H,e day might soon
dawn w hen in the arms of u Southern soldie
rs, Southern Kight' might re.-t for protect i n.
Hi-speech was i up;urously received.
Lieut. Armstrong of the Bibb County Cav
alry responded to a call made on him ina very
happy and eloquent manner, and ably repre j
sented the gallant corps of which he is a mem
ber. This g. nthn an rlwaysmakcsn neat and
appropriate speech.
He was followed by that old veteran, .Va
lor Steele, who imide a very strong appeal in
favor of voluutary Military Association*. com
plimented the discipline, 'kill, precision and
merit of the different corps, and concluded by
giving a toast illustrative of the distinction
between a standing army and a citizen soldiery.
Mr. Nl’iiET. of the Baldwin Bines, being
called on. gnve n toast that was enthusiasti
cally applauded and accompanied with some
pertinent remarks ti nt seemed greatly to please
the crowd.
When ('apt. Hardeman ns commander of the
day. announced the duties of the soldiery, de
manded a cessation of the festivities, they
soon formed nml marched to the Bedding
House where as the guests of the Floyd Rifles
they had n new scene of festivity to enjoy.—
We were not present bnt feel assured from the
well known abiHtitv of the Captain to enliven
everv occasion with Ids wit and humor, togeth
er w ith the urbanity and courtesy o' the j
corps tha* this meeting was equal to the rest, i
Target shooting, packing, farewells, linger
ing regrets and pleasant mem ries, closed up
the day. and at its conclusion we can tmlv
say, a more glorious time, or more glorious
fellow s w e never expert to see, and can say
lor a'l, that in leaving they left nothing to re

o?r.« us the United States to perform their duties, and
thus concludes :
*• What hope is there that an offender, in this pre
dicament. can eucee:- Lully maintain his ill-gotten
spoil against the power of the laws and the vigilance
of those upon whom vigilance is imposed as a public -
duty. The nature of hope seems to be that a ,
public sentiment, so dissolute or depraved, in favor
of slave trading, hft” been or may be created, or that
the public mind can be so debauched in referecne to
the Federal Union and Government, that a firm,
steady and exact administration of the laws of the
United States, can be rendered impossible, and thus
that the laws in regard U> the slave, trade will lx* nul
ified. Tho auceetJti anticipated ix expected to lie de

Itmnnotbe denied that numerous instances of

pr .«.di upon, and so:n? distruist of tbit great in«t»-
lutiou of the common law. But it is n hasty judg

Mr. Editor: Thinking a nme or two from
his famous resort may be of s mie interest to
v.air numerous readers, we me happy to in
loriu them that since lust season there have !
j been many excellent improvements conunea-j
i ,-ed and now almost completed.
The most notable being a large nine pin al
ley built by Mr. Elder, of the Elder House, nl
j so a shouting gallery, and a restaurant for the
sale of fruits, ice cream Ac Ae. Everything
incomputable with the strictest principles of
'omperan. e is to be prohibited mid no betting to
, be allowed in the pin alley or gallery.
’Die indefatigable Col. Park is busy inpr. v
iug the walk and renovating his bathing es
tablishment. To-day we noticed that lie is
erecting another edifice which will add greatly
to the comfort of his numerous natrons as well
as prove an ornament to the grounds.
Our venerable host Mr. Varner (and we may
add Mr. Collier) arc determined to keep pace
I with the times, but instead of building In li es
j build up most excellent breakfasts and sump
i tuous dinners. By the way we may state, that
the old gentleman Mr. \ . and u rattlesnake
eight feet in length and pr portionately large
in circumference, had a despera e rencounter
the other day which lasted 1 >r about hall an
li. ur anil resulted in the tiiua! vuiiquisiiment
of his snake-:hip—pretty well done lor man in
bis sixty-ninth year.
Last week there was a May frolic at High
Fall. S't ie two hundred lads and lasses as
sembled from Griffin, Forsyth ui.d this place:
at night they joined in a dunce in the ball room
here and enjoyed themselves most happily till
eleven o’clock, when each took their several ;

The population ol this place is put down at

last six weeks there have Loen twelve marria

led our bosoms with sorrow, but ere this, wo
hope the period of dnngor, if any, has elapsed

The .l/il'ile (Alabama) Mercury informs us
that tin re arc a< five movements going on in
that city, looking to a secession from the Un
’ ion. It says:
. The times arc now ripe for the organization
■fa political movement in the slave-holding
States, and there are peculiar reasons why
such a movement should be undertaken now
and here. Indeed, we are credibly infunned
; that conferences have already been held by
leading patriotic gentlemen in this city, of all
parties, awl the plans of u Southern organiza
tion have been set on foot, and almost matur
, "d, preparatory to action. YVe earnestly hope
the good work may go on, awl speedily. The
i country, we repeat, is ripe for the movement
and if judiciously inaugurated, it w ill sweep
! over the land with a force that no opposition
w ill bc.able to check. YVe, therefore, caution
our friends in the country, everywhere, to be
prepared for it. awl to keep themselves free
’ from all entangling alliances which may hin
der them from joining in it untrammelled.

Houston County Delegates.
At a Recent Detnorratio meeting in Houston i
I County, resolutions in favor of Gov. Brown
■ and lion. Alfred Iverson werealopted and the
following persons appointed delegates, to-wit:

Dr. M . 1. Green, <J. D Anderson. 1). V. Killen

The Journal & Messenger.
A great change has taken place iu the tone
of tl c above journal.
It is utterly opposed to holding opposition I
conventions —thinks it would be unwise to
oppose Gov. Brown, and is reri/ guarded about ,
mi opposition candidate for Congress in this
district. He recommends “conciliation and '
modelatiou” between the parties, aud publish- ;
es “as worthy of profound consideration,” un
article from the Mobile ltegi*ter endorsing the
recommendation by John Mitchel’s Southern
Citizcu ot Vice President Bheckemiidgf. for
the next Presidency.
Strange things have come to pass. The ed
itor of the Jtfgistn- is a Fire-Eater and John
.Mitchel is an Irishman—both heretofore utter- '
ly obnoxious to our Know Nothing neighbor’s I
Sipumiish stomach, hut now he swallows both
the Irishman and the Fire-Eater without even !
making a w ry face.
With a little coaxing and kind treatment he f
will soon become a pretty good Democrat. — j
We won't abuse him any more if he will
promise to behave himself.
Alabama Politics.
David Clopton was unanimously nominated
bv the Convention at Auburn on the 9th inst..
I *
a** the Democratic candidate for Congress in
the third District of Alibama. Mr. C.. we i
believe, is a native Georgian, and in his adopt
ed IStatc, has won for himself, un enviable re
putation as a lawyer and a politician.
The C'.nvcntion adopted strong Southern
and Democratic Resolutions ; and opposed the
building of the Pacific Railroad bv the gener
al Government: also a protective tariff and
specific duties.
Independent Candidate.
Wm. F. Samford, the able Editor of the Au- i
burn (Ala.) Signal, announces himself an hnle
p .co/if Soi therx Rights candidate for the

A RARB.’.nn CoXvictlon.—Elias Neville I

for the murder of a num named Philips, 1
who bad ravished his w ife. The prisoner was ■
f. ont home at the time, and being informed of
the deed by bis little son. went directly to
Philip’s house and shot him dead. Judge Dick,
who presided at the trial, ruled out the evi
dence of the rape, and instructed the jury
that unless the busbaml killed the ravisher in
t’agrai t delicto, he was guilty of murder.—
Ibe jury accordingly found the prisoner guil
ty, and the judge sentenced him t j be hung.—

The place of holding the District
CONVENTION.
We publish the following communication
calling the attention of the Delegates to the
propriety of agreeing harmoniously upon the
place for holding the District Convention.— '
The District being divided in its preference be- i
tween Fort \ alley and Forsyth, we agree with
oar correspondent “Flint,” that it would be
well to compromise upon Macon; at the same i
time we will clieertully yield the point to eith
er ol the other places indicated. Let the va
rious county delegations decide the matter, by |
' ballot.

Dear Sib:—l have lui<| the pleasure tore
i'. e your leftei of the 22d inst, in which you

p. used to hear if it be my desire to be again
■■■ trued to the Senate. I Lad -apposed thatthe
dis. m sion which htvs.tosome extent,been going

time part iiirehith.il to myn -election,and With
ut any directions fr. in me, was sufficiently iu
dimrive ofmy wishes on that subject. I have,
therefore, not considered ii necessary to make a
di-tinct avowal of my intention, to he again a
andidate for the Senate. Your letter calls fur
nd justifies that declaration fr/ tn me, and I
lake the on asion to say, that nothing would be
Hn ire gratifying to in\than a renewal ofthe
nfidenec 1 favor of my political friends,
:ieh was expressa.l in my former election.
ill I licliision 1 beg t.l say also, that however
ateful it would be to mo personally to receive
ha o nguished and marked evidence of
p pillar apj.li val and supp rt, I -huiild be .til!

Mr.E’itur: Allow me to correct an unin
j tcntional exaggeration which appeared in your
columns of the 9th inst., in reference tv the
erious ncci : nt which <a-currcd in tlie camp
f the Monly onery Tr. e Hines at Macon, Geor
gia. You say the explosion of the cartridge
"sliatteieii private Mark hand, and caused a
severe ■ ouiul.’’ Tliis is not true. Ex-Capt.
I Mark ' hand was not shattered, it wa- only
burned ; and th .ugh the wound was, and is a
pahiful one, it will in no wis • disfigure or disa
j Lie our esiimable fellow-citizen. You are also
m - akei*in saying that Lieut. Andrew's “eye
sight was damaged to a considerable extent."
His eyesight is windy uninjured, and I am
nappy to say that he will be “pn duty” in a
lew day-. Your aec unt of the "serious acei
! dent” is otherwise correct
Allow me to add that we received the most
bi:ig marks of attention from the citizens
, and soldiery of Macon, and from the officers of
l.e Railroad- connecting Montgomery with
Mac m. Everything was done to make the
ri-nmv.ll of our sick friends easy and comfort

of the Macon Volunteers, accompanied us to

The Wilmington Herald tints sadly narrates
i the destruction, during the recent coaflagra
, lion iu ihat city, of the old church endeared
to the hearts of a large community by many a
hallowed association ;
The flames spread rapidly, and. to the deep
•orrow of all. the tall, tapering spire of that
old. time-honored latnl-tnark. immediately
: cro.-s the street—the first Presbyterian Church
—which, for forty years, has [minted its taper
ing spire heavenward, was discovered to be in
flames in three places sirnultaneonsly. Tho
spire being of wood, and towering far above
the highest houses, was soon w rapped in flames,
presenting an imposing though sorrowful as
pect ; and ns the hit .a v clement leaped to its
-nniniit, produced the eft'vct of an immense pil
l.irnf tire relieved again-t the evening sky. As
the flames reached the Leltry. and enveloped
, a loud . rash annonne."! the tltsengagetoent

t ines o. which have for <,> many years wel
comed the worshippers to the sacred-hall be
I >iv. This was followed by the rapid crum
bling away ot the tower itself, communicating
■ire to the whole interior of tho church: uu-
1 at last the venerable pile became one mass
of Hames.
1 he old church was one of the landmarks of

first object the eye rested upon on approacli

timbers mark the spot. The following inscrip
