I have never before seen such hospitality, and it will always be to me, my visit to them, a vision of Arcadia a dream of fairy land. My only consolation is that their beautiful daughter is at Shorter College, and that I in a measure may bs able to repay some of their kindnesses. I have been to hear Eugene Field read his poems . It was quite a treat to hear him render “Baby boy,” and “Little Guly Goo.” He read, very well indeed. Eugene Field has been here for some time for his health. The oth»r night I went to a con cert in a church, where they had a SIO.OOO organ, a Baptist church, and they played a great deal of Wagner's music. Wagner you know bears the same relation to music that Brown daes to literaturu—“dark meat.’’ Some persons abhor Wag tier —I love his composition*, there i* in them an undertone of melody that makes ma went to write, and I see and hear the most entrauc ing things. Next week Joa Jeflhrsan plays here, and I shall see him. New Oilcans will have a rare treat, they say that the staging will be entirely uew aud the finest ever brought South. Joe Jefferson is a pure good man and honors his profession. If all actors were like him, the predju dice against the drama would some die, and preachers would be help ed instead of injured by actors. 1 cannot close without a word about the flowers they are with me the last thing at night and the first thing in the morning. The arbors are cevered with a dark green vino called the “Con federate Jaseamine” it bears a white star shaped blossom as pure as the lost cause for which it is named. lam so glad it is called “Con federate Jassamine. How thorough ly Southern, how intensely patri otic. The very nama is a lesson and a memory beautiful aud death less. How I de love New Orleans, be cause she loves her own. Southern blood flow’s hot down here. The Lee monument rears itself proudly to the blue sky which covers this loyal people. In the Washington Artillery Hill hsre I was ehowsd the other day the caission which bore the corpse of Jefferson Davis. It had the Confederate .flag thrown over it, and no money could purchase it, so sacred, and so tenderly guarded it is by his former sub j*«ts . But I was talking about the flowers The scarlet pom-granite is in bloom arid the oleander trees are white with blossom. They grow iu the yards a«d are as large as our peach trees. The iwaguolias grow iu the street as shade trees, and in flower gardens too, and to an immense height - Some times they arc purple with th* wisteria and some times a white aud pink rose vii e unite their forces and climb boldly to the top radiant with beauty, and sub tle iu thair fragrance. Then theie is another flower called the petaspo rum. It resembles our euonanious t home, and at this season it is covered with a white creamy bloom that is verv sweet indeed.

The demonstration made by a couple of dez- n of Evans partisa N to prevent Mr, Atkinson making his clohiug argument, is construed by al! thinking men as s rong evi donee, of the c >usci*us weakness i of the recent “sev«sn to oue peo ple. ’ Another straw which Las a tendei - cy to show - the di recti >n of the wind is the entire absceuce from the editorial columns of the '1 ribune, a mention of the debate, Ihe E itor of that paper has permitl .dl two opportunities te slip by u has rema ned as silent as « c am. The reporter of the Hu tlek of Rome, in moving about the city, comes iu contact - 'ith both sides, and while some of the Evins peo ple say bard aud unjust things about Mr. Atkinson, many of them are free iu their expression of praise both of his d< mocracy and his magnificent abilities a* a rough and tumble stump sp*akbr aud political fighter. Os bis statesmanship, no well informed men has yet sto»>d tip and ascribed him any thiu fc but honorable recogaitien. There is ne doubt abeut it, Mr. Atkinson has made great inroads upon the boasted strength of hisi oponent, aud has not only drawn converts te his standard, but has been reiufercsd hsaviy form the ranks of thoso who had held aloof for information. Few indeed are the groups, that can be polled, about the city where Mr. Atkinson has not a heavy percent in t emaj irity. Yesterday afternoon The Hust ler of Rome requ s»ed an Evans man, who is also a vetteran to poll the Graud.Jury. He iid so and the result shows that Atkinson has 14 to Evans 9in that most rep resentive bodv of Floyds citizens. Again :n a poll of eight bailiff’s who had been sworn in for this wo k of cou t six were for Atkin son and two for Evans. One of the tr&vers juries stands eleven for Atkinson, one for Evans, while the other is five for Atkinson, four for Evans and three non com mittal. Os the retiring Mayor and five Al dermen it can be said that Mayor King aud three Alderman are for At kinson. Os the five Aidermen who hold over another year Mr. Atkinson has but t vo. But of the new council, Mayor Johe D. Moore and four of t.ie five Aldermen are Atkinson men. On the streets, in the businesa houses, and especially in the shops aad factories Mr. Atkinson holds ab >utthe same ratio “or more so.” About the court house, where so many country people are gathered this week the preference for the young statesman is decidedly strong er than among the people of the c'iy. Aud the Veterans, for whose votes the old Ge jerai made such an earnest appeal are not falling in line in his column although •re and all join in expretßions of t«ud«rest love for him and respect for his War record.

Taylor is a native of Alabama and feel* very grateful to the pres ident for his aianly recognition of the colored race. He is anxious t» appear as the defeader of the president's personal policy, which is so far advanced that negroes may now aspire to all the privi leges which a minister plenipoten nary commission caa entitle them to The exact line upon which Tay lor will speak if he comes, or whose special interest it will be in is not indicated, but he will prob ably confine himself to |a defsns iof the president’s colored policy, as outlined by his own appoint ment to the court of Bolivia. y ■■ " wyr/ JEFERSON’IANS ARI INTERISTEI) Birmingham, Ala , March 27. — “I hear a great deal of talk on the part of the Jeffersonians about the prospect of .senator Morgau’a de feat, iu the event that Mr. is elected,” said Mr. Hector D.
