THE COLO.NKL’S COSVK.NTION.
During the war wo heard much
of the “Mackerel Brigrade,” which
was composed entirely of brigadeer
general*, and an we had a curiosity
to see how much a convention of
eolonel-i would resemble the loign-!

tiiiket on the Central hied away
to Augusta to attend the annual
session of the Georgia I’ress Asso

plan for his canal, and we tliouglil
II best to look over a cotton facto

to lie ready for him.
Arriving at August,a* we found
assembled nearly Imlf a hundred of

Augusta was the daisy city ol
