FRIDAY MORNING, DEG. 20, 1867
[ From the Petersburg (Va ) Express.
An Ovation to General Leo.
AN “ UNPLEASANT EPISODE.”
Tlie visit, ol General Robert E. Lee to this
city, on Thursday, to attend the nuptials of his
soil, was rendered a perfect ovation by the
greetings of the citizens. Upon the arrival of
the train at Pocahontas bridge, Childress’ ex
cellent band, which volunteered for tho occa
sion, sounded the first note of welcome with
the beautiful “ Marseillaise Hymn.” The band
then got. on the train, and, on its arrival at Jar
rett’s Hotel, struck up again, but the music
was almost drowned by the huzzas ot tlie iiu
nreuse crowd sssembted there. Tlie General
no sooner entered the open carriage in wait
ing, than “ three times three” were given, hats
and handkerchiefs were waved aloft, and every
expression ol' pride and delight at the appear
ance in our midst ot one who has so signally
endeared himself to the Southern people, was
manifested by the throng. The balconies and
windows ot the hotel were tilled with ladies,
and the whole area iu front was alive with peo
ple. In response to their manifestations, the
General rose in his carriage, lifted his hat from
his head and bowed to the assemblage. He
was accompanied by Major General William
11. Mahone, whose guest he was. In the mean
time, the band continued to perform popular
and soul-stirring airs, and as the carriage
moved away, the shouts of the people min
gled with the strains of music, and lollowed
him until it was out of sight.
One little unpleasant episode occurred dur
ing the demonstration at the depot. A per
son, whose name is unknown, expressed his
sentiments by uttering a groan, and as he did
so, Mr. Benjamin Butts, who was standing
near, knocked him down. ■ He was about to
punish him further, when the unknown per
son drew a knife, stabbed Mr. Butts in the
hand, and then scrambling over upon all-fours,
crawled into the midst of the crowd and dis
appeared undetected. We suppose that the
“groaner” considers it political sacrilege for a
disarmed people to express their gratification
upon meeting a Conferatc General. Happily,
such an iuioiere.it spirit does not animate the
true men of the North, and when we remem
ber how General Lee was huzzaed by the Fede
ral soldiers in Richmond after the surrender,
aud bow many of them sought the privilege of
testifying their appreciation ot his virtues by
grasping his hand, the spiteful groan ot this
unknown individual assumes the lowest place
among things mean and contomptible.
EXTIUORDINAKY Revznob. The Provi
dence UerniJ of the 21st tells the following
ridiculous story of a hen-pecked husband who
took a most singular revenge:
A singular case of matrimonial infelicity is
reported on Village street, two or three even
iugs ago. A couple, both slightly under the
influence of beverages, bad a “ cheerful dis
cussion,” which culminated in a regular quar
re 1 after they had retired to their couch lor the
ui’4t. At last, rendered frantic by the sting
ing words of his wife, and in order to revenge
himself upon her, the man sprung from his
bed and seated hiuiselt upon the hot cooking
stove, “accoutred as he was ’ in a very limited
line of wearing apparel. The stove being vciy
hot, the mail’s flesh burned on and his night
garment somehow catching upon the rear ol
the stove he was unable to release himself.
His screams lor help were treated with cool in
difference by his wife, and it was only when his
cries had called in two men from another
room, that he was extricated from his uncom
fortable position by being pulled off the stove
by main strength. Os course his burns were
terrible, and the physieiaus who attended him
predict that they will result in permanent lame
ness.
Economy was exemplified in the case of the
Indianna mau who had occasion to place mar
ble slabs for counters in hiß store, and had them
made iu the form of gravestones with the names
and epitaphs of liis family inscribed on the nn
fler side.

The Georgia State Convention.
MEETING OF TIIE CONVENTION —TIIE OPEN
ING SCENES —A MOTLEY GATHERING OF
GEORGIA SO LONS.
Atlanta, Ga., December 9,1867.
In a small room located in the City Hall
of this place was to-day enacted the pro
logue to the drama or farce which will be
on .the boards for the next six or eight
weeks. The room itself is worthy of the
use to which it has been devoted, being
small and shabby, and furnished with an
abundance of fine desks painted brown, and
reed bottomed chairs, the very picture of
hard times ; to say nothing of the wooden
inkstands and cheap stationery, together
with the green calico of different shades of
color which covers the long glass windows
at the back of the President’s chair. Taken
as a whole, a most melancholy air pervades
the apartment, strongly suggestive, indeed,
of the garret on Broadway in which the
“ Ghouls ” occasionally meet to expound
tiieir religious doctrines. There areno gal
leries ; no places for spectators, save and
except a small space at the further end of
the room which lias been railed off, aud
which by hard squeezing might lie made to
hold about seventy persons.
It might have been about nine o’cioek in
the morning when the delegates began to
assemble in their funeral looking hall. At
iirst the number was small, and the few
present grouped around the stove that
stood between the first row of benches and
the President’s chair, and discussed poli
tics. Without exaggerating, I can say
that a more seedy looking body of men
never assembled together in Georgia. As
the men warmed themselves by the stove,
the scene was decidedly rich. Unshaven,
uncombed, unwashed and, in most cases,
very dirtily dressed, stood and sat the leg
islators of the. State, deep in conversation,
which was only interrupted by the contin
ual squirting of tobacco juice into small
tin spittoons, of which there are over two
hundred scattered over the room. One
delegate, apparently troubled with cold
feet, slowly took off his shoes, displaying,
as he did so, a pair of most shockingly dir
ty socks, the nauseating odor from which
had the effect of driving olf the more deli
cate stomached bystanders, among whom
was your correspondent. As 1 remarked
before, no negroes had yet entered the con
vention hall; but a step across to the
room opposite discovered the presence ol
some thirty or more sable delegates, who
hud thus assembled together, probably he
cansc they were ashamed of being seen in
the company of their white colleagues.—
They formed a motley and interest ing gath
ering. From the light yellow mulatto to
the coal black African, and from the obse
quious barber to the sturdy cotton picker,
there t hey were as large as life, and carry
ing themselves with a dignity and air of
importance at once ludicrous and pitiful.—
A few out of the number are able to read
and write; the majority are as innocent of
all educational qualities as a babe of three
weeks-old. A single glance at this body
of negroes will tell you how utterly farci
cal must lie a convention which contains
Hindi members.
Whites and blacks engaged in conversa
tion in their respective rooms until ten
o’clock, when all assembled together in the
Convention Ilall. Had a stranger, igno
rant. of the purpose for which the men
present had been convened, arrived at the
moment lie never would have supposed t hat
a Stale Constitutional Convention was be
ing then called to order. It looked more
tike a polities! meeting than ■any thing riser
Delegates and spectators mingled together
in most fraternal sociality; strangers took
seats in the delegates’ chairs, aud delegates
crowded around the stove, where they re
mained throughout the proceedings.
Mr. G. W. Ashman called the convention
to order and nominated Mr. Foster Blod
gett, of Augusta, as temporary chairman.
The ayes were called for and given, and
Mr. Ashman declared the motion carried,
when a delegate arose and suggested that
the nays be called for. This was done, and
instantly a storm of nocsresounded I hrough
the hall. A pause ensued, followed by a
discussion, which was finally ended by Mr,
Blodgett being declared elected temporary
President. Mr. Ashman then nominated
Mr. Higby as temporary secretary. A ne
gro member instantly arose and nomina
ted another man. Bradley, the Boston ne
gro lawyer and the Hadieal firebrand of
Georgia, next stood up and made a brief
speech in opposition to the nominations,
ami the result, was another interruption in
the proceedings. Mr. Ashman looked at
the members with a perplexed air; the
members looked at him in a disconcerted
manner, and this really laughable tableau
lasted for about three minutes, when with
a deep sigh Mr. Ashman descended from
the stand, relinquishing his temporary hon
ors and leaving the convention with neither
chairman nor secretary.
Mattel’s being now at a stand still, and
perceiving that the white spectators pres
ent were indulging in a general smile at
the expense of the convention, a member
arose and proposed that a committee of
three be appointed to conduct Mr. Blodgett
to the chair.

A. J. Roberts <f- Cos., Atlanta, Ga.:
Gentlemen : I am well pleased with the result of the
use of the “ Double Refined Poudrette ” on my crops. I
tried it on both corn and cotton, and am satisfied wher
ever it was applied the yield was more than double what
It would have been without it. I regret exceedingly my
not using it more extensively the present year, but will
try to make up my loss by purchasing a larger quantity
next spring. I regard it as the cheapest, most reliable
and easiest managed fertilizer within my knowledge, and
cheerfully recommend it (as I have tried it thoroughly,)
to the farmers of this section, and particularly to those
planting cotton, from the fact of its causing it to mature
from ten days to two weeks earlier than it would without
the use of the Poudrette. I also used it on my garden
and found it of much benefit to ail kinds of plants.
Very respectfully, Ac.,
G. 8. OGLESBY.
Extract from a letter received from Professor Martin,
of Hampden, Sidney College, Virginia, dated July Ist,
1867 :
The Double Refined Poudrette is operating like a charm
on my crop, and attracting universal attention from all
beholders. lam already satii fled that it is the cheapest
and surest renovator of our worn-out lands.
High Shoals, Ga., Oct. 4,1867.
James R. Dcy, Esq.:
Sir: The Doable Refined Poudrette I bought for two
other p; rties in connection with myself—one of them
used it on cotton and corn, aud thinks it answered finely;
the other put it on cotton, on very poor ground, and
thinks it doubled his crop. 1 used it on corn. It answer
ed finely, ami was thought by the baud tiiat cultivated
the crop to be fully equal to Rhode's Super-Phosphate. 8
also used it ou about an acre of cotton, and I am clearly
of opinion that it is the best aud cheapest fertilizer iu
use, and I expect to order several tons this winter.
Yours, very respectfully,
ISAAC POWELL.
Ki.lavillb, Schley Codntv, Ga., Oct. 4,1867.
Tlie Double Refined Poudrette, purchased of yon last
spring, I think, increased my crop of cotton 150 pounds
per acre; pul it upon worn out pine land at the rato of
200 pounds per acre, drilled in with cotton seed.
Yours, Ac., S. MONTGOMERY.
Salisbury, N. C., Aug. 10, 1367.

Dear Sir: I can safely say that your Double Refined
Poudrel te is far superior to sny other fertilizer for cotton ;
for I have given it a fair trial this season.

Savannah, Ga., Sept. 25,1867.
James R.. Dry, Esq., President:
Dear Sir: I u ed the Double Refined Poudrette,
bought of you last spring, on corn. I think it-increased
the yield one-half. I consider it an excellent manure.
Respectfully, T. HOLCOMBE.
Ridgeway, S. O , Sept. 21,1867.
Mr. James R. Dcy :
Sat: I applied the Double Refined Poudrette by itself,
and in combination with other fertilizers, on cotton, and
am pie ; sed with it.; so much so that it is my present in
ten! ion lo purchase a larger supply of you the next year
to apply to my cotton crop.
Yours, very respectfully,

Slit: In reply to your inquiry of the results of our ex
perience in the use of your improved Poudrette, pur
chased of you for this year's cotton crop, wo would beg
leave to say that the present season lias been ono quite
unfavorable to the action of all fertilizers.
Several hinds of manures were used by vs, with tlie
exception of your Poudrette, with little or no effect to
I he SSVOft

KiT FAITH WELL FOUNDED.—In old times, at the
commencement of every season, It was the fashion to
take a strong Jathartlc as a safeguard against a change
of temperature. It was a worse than senseless practice.
Tho people of onr day understand the matter better.—
Instead of depleting the system they reinforce it. In
the method they adopt they exhibit a wise discrimina
tion. Instead of resorting to the vitiated stimulants of
commerce, or any of the compounds derived from them,
they put rin-ir faith in the only absolutely pure invlgo
rant procurable in the market —HOSTETTRR’S STOM
ACH BITTERS. Their faith is well founded. Never
has any lonic medicine been prepared with sucli scrupu
lous precision and conscientious cure. It is a vegetable
compound, of which every ingredient is sound, whole
some, and medicinal, in the true sense of the word. —
Now, we have three prominent national complaints.
One-half of ihe adult population of the United States
suffer more or less, either from diseases of the stomach,
derangements of the liver, or affections of the kidneys.
In no other land under Heaven are these maladies so
general as in this country, and lIOSTETTER’S BIT
TERS is a specific for them all, unless organic in their
origin, and, therefore, beyond dure. And let those who
are fortunate enough to he exempt from them at present
understand one great fact, viz: tiiat an occasional use of
this vitalizing tonic will as certainly prevent them as
the sun will prevent the earth from freezing where its
genial beams descend. decl-tls

Os nil the medicines that have been discovered dur

ten years have elapsed since the discoverer (who spent
a decade in studying experiments, and protecting it)
first introduced it to the public, and it is already re

remedy- for certain diseases of which they have any

Allother Compounds or Syrups of this root have
hitherto failed to command tlie sanction of the Facul

contain noxious ingredients, -w hich neutralize the good
effects of tlie Sarsaparilla, and oftentimes injure tlie
