From tlic Moon Telegraph. Talbotton, Ga., August 26—The surviving veterans of the Fourth -Georgia Regiment met here yesterday in their second annual reunion. About seventy-five members of this grand old regiment are in attendance, coming from different sections of the State, and who are engaged in the diversified pursuits of life. Fortune and time seems to have dealt kindly with some, while others show that the years of time have not rehabilitated their wasted fortunes. But when taken as a whole, the personnel of the association shows it a representa tive body of Georgians. On the arrival of the veterans at the depot yesterday at 2:30 p. m. they were met by the Southern Riiles, un der command of Captain J. J. Bull, and escorted to the armory, where lemonade and other refreshing drinks were ser\ r ed. At 3 o'clock dinner Avas spread at the opera house by the good ladies of 'Talbotton, and the veterans, under es cort of the Southern Rifles, repaired thither and bountifully supplied the inner man.- Dinner over, at 4 o’clock an address of Avelcome on the part of Company A of the Fourth Georgia (the old Southern Rifles) was made by Colonel O. D. Gorman, of Talbotton. which Avas happily responded to by Dr. R. B. Hall of Macon. Then fol lowed a beautiful address of welcome, on the part of the city authorities and citizens, by Mr. A. P. Persons, of Tal botton, which was feelingly responded to by Captain John T. Hester, of Al bany, Ga. Dr. W. H. Philpot, the surgeon of the old fourth, Avas vociferously called for. and in his usually happy manner, entertained the audience for a short Avhile in recounting the trials and liarhships of the Confederate service and euolgizing the chivalry and valor of the brave old Fourth Georgia. Af ter tendering his home and heart to the veterans, he said "Such as I have 1 give unto thee," and requested thei:: to ask for nothing they did not see. Talbotton was the dryest town in Georgia, and he> had no medicinal purveyor to make requisitions for m&'.-'-a. oospitai supplies. After this the remainder of the day Avas spent in - > .a. converse, and as nightfall :a:„e on the survivors were tak-n to tLe hospitable homes and table-- of the tizen- of Talbotton.

His well known ability as a laAvyer and his splendid record Avhile wearing the judicial ermine of the same circuit during the stormy days of the recon struction period, guarantee him a val uable support. He is eminently qual ified for the responsible trust for which his name will be urged. It having been settled that there is to be a joint Gubernatorial canvass in Tennessee, and the Taylor boys hav ing each promised not to tell any tales out of school on the other, the people are expecting a rather commonplace campaign, the only interest being in the fact that the candidates are broth ers. As the can\*ass Avarms up, how ever, it may become lively enough to require that Rev. Nat Taylor, the father of the candidates, be called on the stump as umpire or referee. Rev. George O. Barnes, the moun tain evangelist of Kentucky, says that he has made his trip around the world with his wife, son, and two daughters entirely on faith. He had no plan when he set oat but to preach, had no invitations from abroad, no promises of support, no acquaintances e\*en in the countries he visited. Yet he made the journey and .wanted for nothing. It is said that there is nothing of the beggar or dead beat about any of the Barnes family.

Up to the time of this writ ing, it is not stated where he is, but it said that the Czar ordered his being set at liberty, at Rheni, a Russian town to which he was taken. This was not done from any kind motive on the part of the Czar but from his expectation that the Russian govern ment, which had been set up in Bul garia, could control the country and prevent his restoration to power. The probability is that he will soon return to Bulgaria and at the head of his ar my, sustained by the powers, this at tempt on the part of the Czar to de throne him will prove abortive.
