Down In the wide, gray river The current la sweeping strong; Over the wide, my river Floats the fisherman's song. j falls with tho oar; And an echo In both Is ringing I thought to hear no more. Out ol a deeper current The song brings back to me A cry from mortal silence, Of mortal agony Life that was spent and vanished, Love that had died of wrong; Beans that are dead In living, COme bock In the fisherman's gong. 1 see the maples leafing. Just as they leafed before; The green gram comes no greener Down to the geo - shore— With the rude strain swelling, sinking. In the cadence of days gone by, Aa the oar. from the water drinking, Hippies the mirrored sky. Yet the soul hath ltfo diviner; Iti past returns no more, Bat In echoes that answer the minor Of the boat-song from the shore. And the ways of God are darkness; His judgment walteth long; He breaks the heart of a woman With a fisherman’s careless song. —Boss Term Tool* tub uI.oboia bubss Griffin News: There was a fire Mon. day night at Gogginsville which consumed a bouse occupied by a railroad negro and bis family.

Dawson Journal: On lazt Sunday morning, as tbe Eufaula bound freight and passenger accommodation train stopped at Brown’s station, in this county, a very serious and painful accident be fell Mr. Napple Harris as be was in the act of coupling two freight cars. For some unknown and strange reason, tbe enema suddenly gave a powerful back ward movement, coming back with such foice as to break off the bumper of tbe ca: near which Mr. Harris was standing, waiting for the two can to get in position to be coupled. Mr. Harris was thus wedged in between tbe two and was badly mashed. Hfs collar bone was broken, one of bis ihoulden was crushed, and bo received severe in ternal injuries. He was brought on to Dawson, and Uken out to the borne of his parents near here, and the services of Dr. C. A. Cheatham secured. Mr. Har ris is bearing up under bis suffering with great fortitude, and at last accounts was doiug as well as one in his afflicted state could be expected. For some months be bas been in tbe service of the Southwest ern railroad company, and by bis atten- tlon and promptness in the discharge of hi* duties, he was certainly in !!.- i : ... ,,{ promotion. We trust his injuries will not result fatally, and all our citizens sympathize with him in his recent afflic tion. DeKalb News: YVe heard last Tuesday a most remarkable circumstance, and give It to the public cn the auti- v ; worthy citizen of this county, and a friend and relative of the family concerned. It is said that a lady of this connty, living in Cross Keys district, gave birth to two children (twins) seme time in October, lh81. They were quite small, we'gliii-y three and five pounds, respectively, but perfectly formed and apparently healthy. The strange part of the matter is that from the day of their birth until some time in the mouth ol December, they showed no animation, and scarcely any signer life beyond respiration, and appeared precisely as if asleep. During at! this time they look no nourishment, except, a very iitlie sweetened miik forced upon them, aud all efforts of the mother to gel them to nurse proved unavailing. At the end of about two mouths after their birth the twins apparently waked up aud became as “peart” aud lively as any children, and are now living aud thriving. They were weighed at the be ing and also at tbe end of tbeir long ad their weight was precisely the Mr. Jim Bloodswobtu, ot Griffin, bas been left $15,000 by a relative in England. Atlanta Post-Appeal: W. T. South a white convict who escaped from the Cedar Town convict camps on tbe 10th of August last, was arretted by officer White about 2 o'clock to-day, and lodged in tbe station house. South made an attempt to dodgo tbe officer through a side door when lie saw him approaching, but was headed off and caught. The authorities at Cedar Town have been notified of tbe arrest. Columbus Enquirer-Sum Tbe letter of Dr. Felton, recently published, In which ex-Governor, James M. Smith seems to form tbe subject for bis tirade, was read with considerable interest yes terday, and many were tbe speculations as to the course Governor Smith would pursue in tbe matter. Tbe Enquirer-Sun is prepared tbis morning to pat these speculations st rest. While all recog nized the ability of that distinguished gentleman, some anxiety was felt lest lie would pass it by whbout further notice, Meeting Governor Smith on the street, a representative of this paper asked him if he had read Dr. Felton’s letter. “I bave seen It,” replied tbe Governor, “but 1 bave not given it what you newspaper fellows call a careful perusal.” “lsee that he says you have opened a ‘masked b-ttery’on him.” “Well, that is not true. I only pour hot water into the hole w' I want to run out a skunk. The <m ed battery’ will be reserved more respectable game. I bave only used hot water, and that very mildly. No battery bas been opened on Dr. Fel ton.” “You will reply to bis letter, will you not?” Perhaps i will after a while, but as I am not so anxious to gel before tbe public as Dr. Felton seems to be, tbere is no particular necessity for any burry in the matter.? In tbe course of the conver sation Got. Smith said that in a short time be would pay bis respects to the let ter, or rather the tirade, recently publish ed by Di. Felton. At the present otbe interests demand bis attention, and as soon as he is sufficiently at leisure a very interesting document may be expected. As Governor Smith is a gentlemen who never strikes until there is need for a blow, and never bits easy, the article will be looked for with some impatieuce. There is no man in tbe State more thor oughly posted, and as there is no necessi ty for him to take the defensive, tbere will doubtless be an exposition of Dr. Felton, aud the ptoud record of which Jie t oasts, that will make that gentleman tremble in his boots. When it comes to the tussle we may say as Roderick Dhu did to James Fitz J. rues: "Non’, gallant Saxon, hold thine own. No maiden's arm U around thee thrown. Griffin Netes: Some fifteen months 3 ;o a young son of Mr. Boyd Lovett, of eriwetber county, was taken ill with typhoid fever. He gradually grew worse aud finally became insensible. He rallied again, however, but continuing ill at last had his reason dethroned, and for five months was considered non compos men tis. In all, he has been sick eighteen mouths, never leaving his bed in that time. Hla age is about eighteen, and bia father never imagined he would get well, expecting he wouhl die. A few weeks ago, however, he commenced to rally, and without any apparent caute, gradually grew brighter, mentally, and stronger physically, until now he promises to get well entirely. Before his late improve ment bis weight was only sixty pounds, now he weighs 120. His mind is perfect ly clear, ana be has been sitting up some. Altogether tbis is one of tbe most mar velous cases of sicknesi on record. Griffin N'cks: We mere informed yesterday by a gentleman well known In the fruit business here, that a distinguished Irishman will be in the city on Friday to look around for a suitable tile on which he proposes to plants gigantic peach orchard, numbering 60,000 trees. This is good news and will be glorious if tbe gentleman can only be induced to settle near Griffin. Tbe News will fiud out more of tbe facts and see the gentleman on Friday in person. Newman Herald: We find the farm era are engaged in preparing their lands for cotton, Willie tbo land fur corn bides Its time. Such is a common weakness with farmers. Tbe laud that should re ceive the first attention and work is neg lected, aud thus tbe most essential crop receives only a meager cultivation. The breadless stale of tbe country suggests a different coarse, and fanners should in augurate a change. A more restless state of things bas not existed among farmers and tenants than now. To pitch a crop now is much like a leap in the dark. Let the thoughts of fanners then be guided with wisdom and prudence. ClTTUBERT Enterprise: The sheriff captured Jack Mercer, colored, one of the escaped prisoners, on last Sunday, while asleep in tbe corn crib of one ot tbe tenants on Dr. Ogletree’s place- He was brought back to jail, aad bas com- J ilaiued greatly since his return of colic rom an overdose of raw potatoes taken from some man’s private hill. Jack thinks they are not healthy with sarsr cane alone, and that the jail is to be pre ferred, as you know where your next meal is coming from, than to dodging about in the woods depending upon your friends for a rtfrck now and then. He ought to be C ut where be can’t bum ont or Jail. Jack i a blessing to a community, but we will try to spare biin a while, anyhow.

Oglethorpe Echo: On last Monday a negro was found hung to a blackjack limb, with a trace chain, near tbe Jeffer- sou and Lawrenceville road, Just over in the edge of Gwinnett connty. The fol- lowing account was obtained ot tbe mat ter, how true it is we cannot say: A. horse was stolen in the neighborhood sometime daring the week, and this negro wu suspected cf having committed tbe crime. So a body ot men organized themselves aud went to Mr. Tom Dil lard’*, where be was hired, and broke open a house and caught him. He was carried ont and whipped until he con fessed tbe crime and piloted them to where the horse was tied out in the woods.' He was then bung in the manner above mentioned.

Tom Hardeman’s inaugual addresses sounds like the opening roulades of Rubensteln, when the sun begins to shine, tbe buds to swell aud the birds to bop about among tho bushes. Col.

He immediately drew his revolver and fired a shot at the thief, and before thefre-port of tbe shot had died away heard some thing fail Into the water. Astbeiogue was not seen or heard afterwards, tho supposition is that he was mortally wounded and fell into the river. Several articles have been missed from this lo cality at different times, and the present watchman has determined to put a stop to it, and it is probable that thieves wilt give the wbart a wide berth hereafter. Georgia Enterprise: Uncle Luther Hays cut a large tree where his fine gar- deu now stands many years ago.

Savannah News: The many friends tn tbe community of Mr. H. S. Fear, of the firm of Messrs. P. H. Ward & Co., were pleased to learn yesterday that though a passenger on the ill-fated steam er Bahama, whoso destruction in a gale on tbe voyage from Ponce, Porto Rico, to New York baa been noted, he was, through a merciful Providence, saved, and is now on his way home. Mr. Fear left Savan nah on tbe 8th of January last, over five weeks agojfor Ponce, Porto Rico, to settle up some lumber transactions in tbatjplace in which his firm and others here were interested. He left New York on the lltb of January on the steamer Bahama (for Ponce, expecting to make the round trip and be oack in Savandah within twenty-eight days. Since his departure nothing was heard of him until the tele graph brought news (which was published in our columns yesterday) that the steane- er had been lost iu a heavy gale, and that Mr. Fear, with others, had - been picked up by the ship Glcnmorgg, and carried to New York. The steamer Bahama left Porto Rico on the 4th of February, and was due in New York on the 11th. Mr. Ward, on Sunday, telegraphed to the agents in New York, and received a reply that tbe steamer was overdue, and that nothing had been heard of her. Yester day Mr. Ward received a telegram that Mr. Fear was ail right, and would leave New York last night for home, aud will be here Saturday morning. Columbus Enquirer-Sun: Mr. Mason and Mr. Greer, who lire nearW&itcsviile, in Harris county, made uncommonly large yields of syrup from small areas of laud planted last year. We are told tiiat the secret of their success was the man ner in which they put tho seed iu the ground. Oneof them mado a hundred gallons from considerably less than an acre of land. The Adeocatc at Green ville states that Mr. O. D. Graydon, who farms in Butler county, mado last season from one acre of ground 330 gallons of molasses, besides putting some of the cane on the market, saving about 4,000 stalks for seed, and reserving about a thousand stalks for consumption by bis family. This was an extraordinary yield. Mr. Graydon attributes bis suceess to tbe following method used by him in planting the cane: Instead of laying one stalk in the row, as is usually done, he placed two stalks side by side in the row, the top or one stalk bring put near the bottom of its companion stalk. Ue thus found that a double quantity of seed yields more than double the amount, of cane. We commend his plan to our farmers who are s*ns'ble enough to grow caue and make tbeir own molasses, in stead of bnying it from a merchant at a ruinous credit price. Atlanta Post-Appeal: It being ru mored that Mr. U. I.

Mr. Fulton, of McDuffie, offered the fol lowing: Resolved, That the convention will ac- oept the invitation of the Cobb County Ag ricultural Society, and hold its next meet ing at Marietta. .Revolved, That so far as practicable, the delegate! will spend ono day with tbe farm ers on their farms; that we will accept th6 invitation of the Pickens County Agricultu ral and Industrial Association, end visit their county during the session of the sum mer convention. Gen. Wm. M. Browne, professor of ag riculture at tbe Slate Ucivcrsily, made a report of experiments at tbe University farm. The- greatest yield of cotton was from that plat to which was applied next to tho greatest amount of cotton seed moai. The general conclusion was that a certain proportion of nitrogen in any form pays. In the form of dry blood on cotton seed meal it pays better than mineial forms. He believed that it would be better if fer tilizers possessed more phosphorio acid aud loss ammonia. He asked the farmors to help him in his tests by experimenting on their own farms, and repot ting the remits. He wonld publish the formnia in a few days. Dr. J. P. H. Brown real a very interest ing and coropr» hensivo paper on beernl- tote, shewing that bee culture can he made routable. He said that honaj was no onger an article of luxury but one of the prime articles of commerce. He exhibited a frame of comb and a section of artificial comb fourdation. Ur. B own was li-tened to with the deepest attention, and evidently greatly interested the convention. Dr. Brown is a very successful bee caiturist, and can speak advisedly on the subject. On motion, a vote of thanks was ratornel te> Dr. Brown for nis able and “sweet” ad- dtm Dr. J. A. Battle, of Macon, made a very beantifnl addresson the subject, “Beautify- iag our Homes.” Next to heaven, tbe sweetest word in oar language was home, The president introdneed to tbe conven tion Colonel A. P. Butler, commission er of agriculture of South Carolina, who read an essay on “Fence or No Fence,” or the stock iuw. Colonel Butler held that the agricultural interests of the country were so mnch greater than the stock that the latter most give wav to the former. The cost of boundary fences alone in South Carolina was $14,0^0,*10, kept up ntjthe an- npal cost of £2,515,8 T. The abolition of fences io South Carolina amounted to two years remission of all the taxes in'tbe State. He thought the abolition of fences would be equally advantageous to Georgia. He had no doubt that the annual cost of building and maintaining fences in Geor gia amounted to. if it did not exceed, the value of nil the sioek in the fetate. The no fence law had now become so popular in Anderson county, where it was first adopt ed, that not a voice can be found if favor of its repeal. Tbe no fence law encourag ed the breeding of better stock. He be lieved that the general adoption of the no fence law would greatly promote the inter ests of agriculture. The essay was receiv ed with applause. Several resolutions regarding the fenoe and stock law were introduced and after somedisciosionlaidon the table for fur ther action. Mr. P. J. Berckmans, of Richmond, read a very interesting paper on “Fruit Growing as a Farm Crop.” The demand for supe rior fruit is always greater than the supply. The variety of peaches ripening from tho middle of June to the last of August will generally be found to be the most profita ble. We can compete successfully with growers living living foor or five hundred miles nearer New York. We have other fruit* that are aa profitable as peaches, notably the wild goo-e plum and early ap* 11 The thanks of the convention were re turned to Mr. Berckmana for his very able paper. Dr. Jones said it might not be generally known that we had a State Horticultural Society in Georgia. He recently received n letter from New York asking for infor mation upon fruits applicable to Georgia. An invitation from Mr. W. O. Sibley to visit the Sibley mills, on their way np the canal Thursday, was accepted, as was also the invitation of the Georgia Chemical Works. Gen. Phillips’ resc lotions, in reference to experimental farms and agricnlinral schools, was taken from tho table and read, and also Mr. Harrell's on the same subject. Mr. Harrell spoke in support of his resolu tion. He believed that all the taxes de rived from tbe inspect on of fertilizers should be devoted to tho promotion of ag ricultural interests. This was an extra tax upon tho agricultural interests of the State, and should boused for tbe benefit of these interests. It should not Le used for agri- cultural purposes. Tho tax for education should be general, and not from a p irticu- lur interest. After diaoussion thia matter was laid on the table until the kugost convention. Mr. J. B. Wade, of Atlanta, read an arti cle on Je-aoy cattle in the Sonth. Fred Little, of Richmond connty, contributed a papor on watermelon cnlture. Mr. R. E. Park offered the following res olution: . In viow of the multitude ot new agricul tural implements now offered for ante to the farmers of Georgia, and first exhibited at the Atlanta Exposition, few of which tho farmers can have an opportunity to criti cally examine, Resolved, That onr State Agricultural Commissioner, Judge Henderson, bo re quested to appoint suitable committees to carefully examine every report npon the more important machines and implements mentioned, nncl that ho be requested to publish those committee reports in his monthly reports ns information to the ag ricuituraUsts of the St te. Gen. Wm. M.

T. J. Smith and Dr. Joan R. Janes. Gen. Phil lips spoke upon the resolutions, which were adopted. The committee appointed at the Thom- naville meeting, in regard to ttie establish ment of ouo or more scholarships in tho State University, recommended that tbe scholarships be established, and that the sum of $300 be appropriated to pay the board and the iucidontal expenses of tbo two students appointed to scholarships, and that zio one should be appointed who is able to pay. The .question wbs postponed until the next meeting of tho convention. Tho president announc'd the programme for to-day. The convention will meet at Hussar Hall at 10 o’clock this morning, and adjourn at 10:30. Delegates will moot at tho canal basin at 10:15 promptly. The steamboat will leave at 11 o’clock for a trip up the canal to the Locks where a banquet will be served. On the way the delegates will stop at and inspect the factories. The bent will return in amplo time for the delegate! to take any of the outgoing af ternoon trains. Delegates are requested to obtain their bodges in tbe convention this morning. An experience mooting was held at Mar- kot Hall last evening, at which a variety of subjects were discussed. cd a largo chare of attention, and it was dearly manifested that tho advocates of a no fence law were largely in the ascendant. Mr. W. J. Dolph introduced the following resolution: Resolved, That it ia the sense of this convention that oar Legislature do pasa, at the next session, a general stook law for the Bt&lo of Uoyrgin, similar to that recently passed by tho State of South Carolina. Mr. Wado also offered tho following t Resolved, That this convention urge tbo Legislature, at the next session, to amend the option law on “feaoe or no fence,” so as to allow only free holders to vote on tbe question when presented for adoption. Both resolution*, after after discassioor were laid over for future action at the next meeting of tho convention. SOUTH CAROLINA TO THE RESCUE. Agreeably to the pablishod programme, tho Commissioner of Agrioultaro for South Carolina, Colonel A. l\ Butler, at the invitation of . President Hardoman, took the stand and read a mosr able and concise statement of tho working of the no fc&ce law in tfar sister State. The Doctor eaid,ia tbo early days fences were really requisite to prevent the incur sions of wild animals as welt os those of do- mestie origin, and at that period tbe areas of land nnder cultivation were small and the expense of fencing comparatively insignifi cant Now, however, agrioulture la tho main interest of tbe country, and should be leg islated for accordingly. Tho right of every man to control hi3 own property is absolute, and hence the premises of the landholder* should be legally pro tooted from tho depredations of stock running at large. It was a fact shown by tho statis tics of the State, that the co*t of tbe fenoes of Sonth Carolina far exceeded the taluo of all the stock in that commonwealth. It wonld require $14,020,410 to replaoe the fences of Carolina if destroyed by fire, and carefully prepared estimates show that no le83 than £2,565,371 are expended annually simply for repairs. In Georgia, tho Em pire State of the Booth, these figures would be immensely greater. As to how the. dairy products of the Stcte had been af fected by tho operation of tho no fence law, he wonld only say that the county of Anderson produced 250,000 ponnds of’but ter last year, while an adjoining county, with 1,000 more milk cows, where fences were kept up a3 usual, yielded by tbe cen sus returns but 30,000 pounds. Tbe commissioner made a lucid and most eff.ctive argument in behalf of a no fence or stock law. When interrogated os to how the passage ot the general law had been.re ceived by the masses ot the people, ho re plied that no complaints whatever had reached his ear, but on tbe contrary, in those connties where the law has been in for.-o for several years, all opposition, both black and white, had been disarmed, and the inhabitants were alxost unanimous in .its favor. Dr. Butler was asked if the recont re ported exodus of freedmsn from South Carolina might not be ascribed to tbo passage of the ro fence law. His answer was, “by no means.” That exodos, which has boen greatly exaggerated, was really aud the most beantifnl idea of heaven was ft* result, more than enythiug else, of that which represented it as a home. dissatisfaction with the existing lten laws, !

He gave aa a sentiment i “Tbe labor of tbe oonntry. Our only hope in prosperity and S aco, and our surest defense and bulwark war.” [Applause.] Lend calls were made far Gen. Young. Reepondiog to the calls, Gen. Young said no man ought to apeak more than ooce at taoh a gathering, sod os be bad teen op once, he wonld only say a few words. There were three intereete that governed the world—the oartndgo-box, the ballot- box end the bend-box. We had tried the cartridge-box and failed, be ballot-box and almost failed, bat. thank God, we yet have the band-bos. [AppUnse.J Calls were made for Mr. H. H. Jones. Mr. Jones said be felt that there was one great duty incumbent upon bim, to com mend tbe reople of Augusta for their great enterprise in building this canal. They had heard a great deal about it, but the half had not been told. At8 o’clock tbe party embarkod for Au gusta. Near tbe Sibley Mills they were met by a special train of two oars on tho Augusta and Knoxville railroad, in charge of Gen. M. A. Stovall, and were invited to go on board and pay a visit to the Georgia Chemical Worka. A transfer was made and after a brief stop at the Sibley Mills, at tho invitation of .President Sibley and Superintendent Davis, the delegatee were convoyed in the train through the city to the Chemical Works, where they spent the time allowed them before tbe departure of the Georgia railroad train, in inspecting the works, with which they were very mnch Pleased.

Augusta, February IG.—The spring meet ing of the Georgia Agricultural Society, now in session in this city, if not as name- rously attended as usual—owing to its fron tier location,—still has drawn together a very strong array of the best representa tives of the husbandry of the common wealth. Many interesting subjects have been discussed, ^>ut by general consent, pending final action—in consequence of the thin attendance—wore remanded to the consideration of the summer meeting of the convention, which will be held at and had commenced before the adoption of tho no fence act. There is a very general acquiescence in the new law, and the ex periment has only to be made to make it universally popu’ar. In North Carolina, too, the system of no fence is working tike a char or. The above views of this clear headed State official but serve to clinch the arguments of the advocates of “no fence” in Bibb and other counties ot Georgia. It would.be “love’s labor lost ’ for the writer to attempt any detailed account of the proceedings of the convention, when the whole, promptly and faithfully reported by the citj papers, will reach you as eoon us this missive, to say nothing of what the telegraph any flash along the wires. Bat it wonld be wrong to pass over in silence the charming essay of rev. a. j. battle, d.d. As announced on the programme, the Doctor’s them? was “Ihe Beautifying of Onr Homes,” and right deftly and with masterly touch did be handle and illustrate his subject. His description of “Home,” save “Heaven,” the sweetest word in our language, was vivid and beautiful in the extreme. He pictured with magic effect tbe vino trslIUei cottage, with its wealth of flowers without and the exquisite taste displayed within in tho arrangement of the f arnitare, pictures, vases of plants, books, ferns aud curiosities, which too eye of taste is ever discovering anl collecting. T! e o things form important factors in the sum of don eetio happiness. It was to be regret ted that in ante bellum times eo little pains hsd been devoted to the beautifying of the residences of the rich planters who counted their broad acres by thothoisand, and their incomes by tens of thons sods. Expending their means without stint for othsr purposes and exhibiting a baroniil hi/spitVity, they were yet content to dwelt in tho icd- oat style and with bat the slightest regard /or the improvement and beautifying of ther dwellings and grounds. This was all wrong, and the present generation should improve npon the customs of their fathers, however straightened might be their cir- cnmstanccs. Much could be accomplish- e t at but tittle outlay of money. It was refreshing to hear the Doctor comment npon that mnch used and abased word, aesthetics. Ue gave ihe true and the false meaning of the term, warmly commending the former, and hold ing an tl« latter to jnst contempt and ridicule. But it would be unfair to mar the perfect symmetery aud beauty of this nniqne address by any ex parte and impor- fect report of it. We are glad that it will be laid before the pnblio inextenso. To day the convention will explore the depths and wonders ot Augusta's greatest boast, her “raging canal,” and tho mag nificent manufacturing structures that fringe its banks, and create wealth b“the million for her enterprising inhabitants. The body will then adjonrain time to leave lor their homes by the evening trains. Of course it will be impossible to send yoa tho closing scenes, and indeed this brief epistle is not by any means intended to be even the most cursory resume of the pro ceedings of tiie convention. Take it for what it is worth. H. H. J. F.

Stovall, president of tbe Georgia Chemical Works, stating that a train would be in waiting near the Canal BaBin, on the return of the party from the locks, to convey as many of the delegates as wished to co oat to tbe Georgia Chemi cal Works. The president stated, also, that there would be two street cars in wait ing in front of the hall, immediately alter the ndjouruine itof the convention, to con vey tho delegates to tho basins, free of charge. The executive committee roported that the financial condition of tho society is good. It has about $7,000 invested in State bonds. The fair last year paid expenses. It was decided to hold no fair this year. The State generally is prog roaring and the society is in good condition. The report was adopted. Tho thanks of the society were returned to the railroads for courlotucs extended, to the mayornud city council of Augusta, to tlib Richmond County Agricultural Society, and to tho people of Augusta generally. After a motion to adjourn was made, the president returned his thanks to the con vention for uonrtesy to himself, and only wished that they would g> home, increase tbeir cereal crops and be not only self- sustaining ss an osssociation, but as a people. He then pronounced the conven tion adjourned sine die. After the convention adjourned the dele gates proceeded in two street cars provided for their accommodation, to the canal ba sin, where the eteamer “Julia,” the largo barge, and the city boat, “My Qaeen,” were in waiting. The three boats were soon filled and th9 party went up the CAnal to tho locks. After inspecting the dam, the bnlkhead and other mechanical works, the delegates were invited to a banquet spread in the old gate house. It was one of the most substantial and best arranged ropa-ts ever spread at the locks, and was highly praised aud enjoyed by nil the delegates. Chi rnpagnn and claret do wed in abundance. Commendations of Augusta’s enterprise and hospitality were heard on every side. Gen. P. M. B. Young rose, and, paying a deserved oomoiimeht to Col. I iios.
