The train was crowded to suffoca tion, and was an hour behind time in reaching the city ; and this, we learn, has been the case for some time past—multi tudes of people Hocking from every section to the Exposition in the last few weeks.— Atlanta is certainly a most progressive Southern city, and is a perfect marvel in growth. Notwithstanding the clouds and rain, multitudes of people were at Oglethorpe Park on Tuesday and Wednesday. Os the Exhibition itself, we can only say, that none of the most glowing accounts have been exaggerated. In the main building could be found all manner of machinery of the latest improved styles, and as a contrast, the primitive implements of a former gen eration. Thousands of visitors were to be found at all hours of the day in this builds • ing, looking on in earnest interest at the numberless articles on exhibition. The Art Hall, as it is termed, was profusely filled with the most beautiful articles of every character, which was a ceaseless source of interest to every beholder. In the building where the productions of Florida were exhibited, were many speci mens of the fruits and crops of that State. So of Kansas, Carolina, and other States.— We cannot particularize in reference to this great Exposition. Every one must see, to realize the grand success of the managers in this enterprise, and we advise all of our readers, who can do so, to embrace the last opportunity of paying the Exposition a visit during the next week, as it will cer tainly close on the last of this month. We had the pleasure of meeting many old time friends. Among others, we may mention the brilliant H W. Grady, the Na poleon of the Georgia press. He is not only in the front rank in his profession, but has the happy faculty of making his services al most indispensable in every public enter prise, and the managers of the Exposition have not failed to utilize him. In the Comp troller’s office, we found the big-hearted Dr. Wm, King, P. Q. 8., as genial and obliging as of yore. We were pleased to form the acquaintance of Capt. W. A Wright, the Comptroller General. He is a most accomplished gentleman, and one of the best officers in the State, Roswell King, Esq., a most refined and agreeable gentleman, placed us under many obliga tions for bis genial companionship and kindly attentions. Among the press gang> we were pleased to meet Messrs. V. P- Sisson, H. H. Dickgon, and T. S. Reynolds, all of whom are keeping abreast with the rush of Atlanta business. The Hemphill brothers we found very busy in the count ing room of the Constitution—both genial, kind and clever. They feel justly proud of the wonderful success of their great paper. A few pleasant moments we enjoyed with the gentlemanly Christopher, of the Phono graph. On Tuesday evening, a reception was given by Mr. H. W. Grady to the press and the members of the Kentucky Legislature. The entertainment was elegant, and pre sided over by such charming ladies as Mrs. Grady, Mrs. King and Mrs. Smith, of course the evening was spent in a most delightful manner, GKN. JOE JOHNSTON AND JEFF DAVIS. The papers published an interview with Gen. Joe Johnston a few days ago, in which be charged ex-President Davis with making way with $2,500,000 of Confeder ate specie, about the time of the fall of Richmond. Mr Davis thinks Gen. John ston has been misrepresented, as he does not believe he would deliberately make such a charge. The people generally be lieve there is a mistake in the matter.— Whatever may be the faults of the ex- Presklent, he has always been regarded as a gentleman and an honest man. BOLD ROBBERY. The DeKalb News gives an account of how a sharper in Atlanta borrowed $125 from a citizen of DeKalb at the car-shed in Atlanta, for the purpose, as he said, of vis iting Texas, in answer to a telegram that bis brother was dead. The unsuspecting DeKalb man found, when too late, that he had been duped. A S.'.D SUICIDE. On Monday last,the body of Judge James A- Welch, of Newnan, was found in a sta ble. The unfortunate man had hung him self. Financial embarrassments supposed to be the cause of the rash deed. Judge Welch was raised in Athens, and served an apprenticeship with Mr. Albon Chase, in the Banner office. For many years he was the editor of the Newnan Banner, and on ly a short time ago severed >his connection with that paper He was an elder in the Presbyterian church, and was highly es teemed by all who knew him. riodlkhbrokii. The Virginia Legislature on the 20th, elected H H Riddleberger, (Mahoneite,) United States Senator, in place of Hon J W Johnson. POSTMASTER GENERAL. Ex-Senator Howe, of Wisconsin, has been appointed and confirmed as Post master General. FATAL ACCIDENT. Atlanta, December 20.—A frag ment from an emery wheel struck Wyatt Mitchell on the head and instantly killed him at Haimann’s Plow Factory here to day. Mr. Mitchell formerly resided in thia county, and his family are now citizens of Athens. He leaves a wife and a number of children. THE EXPOSITION. We return thanks to the authorities, for an invitation to attend the closing exercises of the Exposition, on the 31st December. Doubtless a large crowd will be present, to Witness the last of the great show, SMALL POX. This loathsome disease is reported as ras ging in some of the Northern cities, with fatal effect. PRACTICAL LEGISLATION. The Savannah News says: The taxation question has got to come before congress for treatment, and there is no use thinking it can be put off longer. So has the national bank ing question, in its relation to the in terest of the community, in view of the near expiration of the charter of a number of banks. It would be en- C mraging to see some of the more ca pable members bring forward certain economic questions in a practical form, and compel their thorough dis cussion and intelligent settlement. Personal politics are becoming stale. The country would like to hear the views and opinions of the better class of public men on such subjects as finance, refunding, reduced taxa tion and a reformed tariff. Chronicle (fornsponbrnce. Letter from “Stat.” Atlanta, Dec. 14th, 1881. Dear Chronicle: 1 suppose it is best for us to be subjected to disappointments as a sort of discipline, but they are by no means pleasant, nor do we ever become accustomed to them. It was whispered to me on Thursday that “ Barnabas” was to be here on Saturday, and I was on the lookout for him, though I thought he intended his visit as a sort of surprise to me, and I did not intend to de prive him of the pleasure of believing be had taken me unawares. But the day passed, and several since, and nothing of “ Barnabas” until Tuesday morning, when be came in with “Exposition” written all over his face. I took him in charge, and after various admonitions, lauded him at the grounds. He thinks Atlanta is itself enough of a show fur him, and I could scarcely keep him in sight in the crowds of people. I only gave him a mild dose on Tuesday. Two hours oh the ground, he was then filled up—and after persuasion, 1 induced him to leave. He must give his own impressions—but I think the “ World in Miniature,” he considers the best of the show. He was particularly struck with the automatic negro show, and unless he is watched by the other members of the “ kitchen cabinet” that assembles at Lyn don’s drug store, he will be amusing his leisure hours with a tamborine or pair of bones. He says he was somewhat prepared for the magnitude of the show from my letters, but it was impossible to conceive of the whole truth. I propose to fill him with “ Exposition” before he leaves. In nearly every letter I have written, I have been able, I believe, to develop some heretofore hidden beauty of the Exposition. I think I have at last seen the “gem” of the whole collection, to one whose tastes arc not entirely practical. Near the display of photographs in the upper part of the In dustrial Art Hall, you sec something appa rently covered by a light shawl of the finest texture. With the curiosity that is admira ble in any one here, you want to raise the shawl to see the beauties that it hides.— But on touching, you feel the marble cold ness; and on looking farther, you find a lit tle face rollicking with merriment, cut in marble, picking at you from the folds. It rather surprises you—it seems as if the chiseled face was “ poking fun” at you— and then, you wonder at the skill of the artist who could so easily give to marble a semblance which so readily deceives you. If you have any admiration for sculpture, you can easily spend half an hour over this one little object, which not one in fifty of the visitors has seen or noticed. This, as you know, is a utilitarian age— and I have noticed about “ lunch” timer much the larger crowd assembles about the kerosine and gasoline stoves, to sample the roasted turkey and baked biscuits. One lady seemed determined to satisfy her self as well as her appetite. So she walked off in triumph, with a satisfactory piece of turkey and three biscuits. Simple aesthet ics must succumb when brought in contact with our natural appetites. The approaching close of the Exposition, brings crowds —among whom, they expect Mr. Blaine, the editorial fraternity, and other distinguished individuals. Mr. Kim ball is determined that the Exposition shall go out in a blaze of glory—that its “ last day, shall be its best day.” He has no in. tention that, having “gone up as a rocket, it shall come down as a stick”—and, there fore, he is making efforts to have the clos ing ceremonies as brilliant as possible.— Many of the awards have been made, and some of them so well-deserved, that even their competitors confess their judgment as correct. Os course, in others, there will be a difference of opinion, and doubtless a good deal of bitterness engendered. A reception of great elegance was given by Mr. Grady, on Tuesday night, to the representatives of the Press and the Ken. tucky Legislature. The honors of the occa sion were dispensed by Mrs. H. W. Grady and Mrs. Hines Smith, of Rome, a most charming lady, of great beauty ; and Mrs. King, formerly of your place. With such a trio to manage the details, and the well, known liberality of Mr. Grady, it may be imagined how perfect were the arrange ments, and complete the menu. There seemed to be among these visitors the spirit of full appreciation—and I am sure, among all the entertainments which have been given, none have been more elegant, nor more fully appreciated by the intelli gent and accomplised gentlemen who par took of it. “ Barnabas” was about the re fresbment table, and seemed no less at ease there than when discussing matters of grave import with Estill, Richardson, and the other brilliant representatives of the Press. He bore himself bravely, and looked as if he was editor-in-chief of a daily, and a big one at that. But be had the satisfaction at least, of knowing that no one edited a purer and better paper than the Chronicle. But Athens people, I am sure, will allow me to stray off into an episode, which was brought about by the Exposition. I venture it, because of a family long identified with Athens—though none of the name are there now, except “on the hill side above the river.” After a separation of 27 years, all the living children of Hon. A. 8. Clayton formerly of your place, met here. But four are left of the large family raised in your city. The reunion was, as may be imagined, most delightful; and the pleasure was increased by the presence of many a younger generation, on some of whom, fortune has most kindly smiled. It was not, however, so much with the present that this re-united family had to do, as with the bright past of their youth—when, beneath the trees of Athens, they looked so hopefully to the future, which has been full of trials, grief and disappointments'to them; and into the future, which bore to them no promise of another earthly meet ing. Notwithstanding these sad elements’ the reunion was a most delightful one.— They were entertained by Mr. H. W. Grady and his wife, in a style where the choicest luxuries were dispensed, with a hospitality I have never seen surpassed, and flavored with that genuine kindness of heart and love which seems to have a home in bis bouse and around his hospitable board. This family separated on Sunday night, with the hope of meeting again, but at least with bi arts filled with gratitude aud pleasure at this reunion. But 1 determine every week that I will not trench so much on the really readable matter in your paper, and hence, close. I wish to yourself, from the “ old man” to the ‘ devil,” a very happy Christmas—and if any sacrifice on my part could make the holiday a happy one to your readers, I would cheerfully make it. Willi sincere wishes that you may “ live long a d pros per, I am, faithfully, Stat. HIGH SHOALS DOTS. Two deaths occurred in this place last week. Mrs. Betty Blair, whose lingering illness has been frequently noted in my former letters, died on Monday. And an aged lady, Mrs. Mary Thompson, on Wed nesday following. Drifting down the stream of time to the Ocean of eternity, brings us near the end of another year. Will all the readers of the Chronicle observe Chrstmas as becometh a Christian people ? Dr Lowry and wife left yesterday for the Exposition. Several others of this place will probably visit Atlanta during the holi days. I am reliably informed that from one bushel of the common stock peas planted this year on the farm of Mr G H L Thur mond, near this place, in Oconee county, one hundred and fifteen bushels were gathered. Who can beat that ? A merry, pleasant Christmas, and a hap py New Year to the Chronicle and all its readers. Now and Then. Dec. 21st. WALTON COUNTY DOTS. Monroe, Dec. 21—A commodious ware house is building near tbe R R Depot. The Vidette will be under a new man agement after tbe next issue.

Whereas, On the 26th ult., our friend and brother, Elisha Newton Weatherford, was removed by the band of death from tbe associations and brotherhood of earth below ; and, as we believe, gone to the Grand Assembly and Brotherhood above— Resolved, therefore, first, That Powell’s Lodge, No. 81,1. O. O. F., has lost in the deceased a true and faithful member; tbe Order, a warm and zealous supporter; his children, a kind and indulgent father; and the kindred and friends, one who was ever faithful in all the relations of life. 2nd, But while we mourn, not as those without hope, we can but drop tbe sympa thetic tear and heave a sigh of regret as wells up the recollections of one who in life was so true to every trust, and faithful in tbe performance of every duty. 3rd, That as a Lodge, we wear tbe usual badge of mourning thirty days, and extend to the bereaved family and relatives our warmest sympathy in this sad hour of their affliction. 4tb, That this preamble and resolu tions be inscribed upon the Records of the Lodge, and a copy of the same be for warded to the family of the deceased, and also furnished tbe Athens Chronicle for publication. P. M. Center, ) J. A. Williams, > Committee. J. O. Ingham. ) We believe it was Mark Twain who paid a compliment to well-behaved corpses; and, as a usual thing, corpses do behave in a quiet aud docile manner, although recent oc currences in lowa and Wiiconsin have demonstrated the fallacy of placing too much faith upon their good conduct. In the lowa case a man got out of his coffin during the progress of the funeral, and said fur ther proceedings would be dispensed with. When it was proposed to turn the meeting into a dance he objected. He said he wasn’t going to have his funeral marred by any such un seemly levity, and if anybody showed disrespect for the remains, they would punch his head. That stopped the dance. In the Wisconsin case the clergyman had just finished his ser mon whep the corpse sat up and de manded a glass of beer. Os course that stopped the funeral, and now there is a law law suit, as the corpse refuses to pay the clergyman any fee, although he claims that he preached the sermon in good faith. O » «»I Frank Sharon, a young barber at Fall River, Mass., quarreled with his wife, went home, found her asleep, kissed her three times, then put bis pistol to her neck and killed her in stantly. He says “something crossed his mind and told him to doit. That Gitteau business is growing. It is time for hanging to put a stop to these mysterious and dangerous men tal impressions, NEWS ITEMS. Three negro prisoners who had been turned over to a convict guard, T. B. Lee, in Savannah, overpowered that officer as he was conveying them to the camp in Cupler Swamp, and obtained the key to the shackles, which they removed, aud then rob bed Lee of sixty dollars aud made their escape. Doc Wilson, the negro barber who killed young Tinley in a Macon bar room several months ago, was found guilty of murder with a recommenda tion to mercy, last week, and sen tenced to the penitentiary for life time. The Judge, in passing sen tence, said to Wilson, he was guilty of murder, and he would take pleas ure in hanging him if thejury had so said The Govenor has offered a reward of <slso for the apprehension of War ren Owens, who killed Steve Young, near Milledgeville. A wreck on the Western and At lantic railroad occurred on-Thursday at Tilton. The wreck was com plete and the destruction of property great. Dr. W. E. Dunwoody, who attended Frederick Paulding during hie recent sickness in Macon, was presented with a cheek for SIOO by Mrs. Dodge, Paulding’s mother. James F. White and James T. Rose, of Upson county, hadadispute in regard to some laud, which ended in White killing Rose at The Rock, in that county, Saturday. The Sheriff’ of Chatham county with a posse of officers and a squad of eighteen policemen, made a raid on the hens rooms in Savannah, Sat urday night, and captured several keepers aud a good many players. At a late wedding in Macon the groom slipped what he supposed was a five-dollar gold piece into the hand of the clergyman. Imagine the feel ings of the ministerial gentleman when he found his fee to be a copper cent! The City Council of Knoxville, Tenn., has forbidden the sale of par lor matches, so-called, and the Charleston Exchange has con demned the use of all kinds except the lucifer, or old sulphur matches. The Herald says that at the muni cipal election in Newnan on Saturday last, money flowed freely, aud votes were openly bought and sold, prices ranging as high as ten dollars each. It well says that such proceedings are “a disgrace to our institutions, and doubly degrading to our manhood Q On Saturday last the body of an unknown white man, apparently about 70 or 75 years of age, was found lying dead on the Ogeechee road some distance from Savannah. There were marks of violence upon the body indicating that the old man had been foully dealt with, but unfortu nately there was no clue to the mur derers, and no one in the, neighbor hood could tell who the iTnfortunate man was or anything about him. Three young men were out in com pany the other night, in Atlanta, and when they parted one turned robber, covered his face with a li.-iindkerchief and, going through an alley, over took his friends aud demanded their money or their lives. He obtained $45 in money and a gold watch from one and 35 cents from the other. The robber ran down the street and yelled for the police, followed by the two others, who cried out that they had been robbed. Officers investigated the matter, when all three were ar rested and held for trial. Three buglaries were committed in Macon, Monday night. The potato crop of Mr J T Farrel, on the lunatic asylum farm, amounts to over 3,000 bushels this year. A young man named Wm McKee was critically injured near Fairburn, by being thrown from a wagon.
