Mr. Black and Ex-l’rcgident Davis. At 11 IH, on Friday last, we board ed the went bound day train for the (late City, to lie present nnd pnrtici pat« in the ccremotiiea the following day—the unveiling of the 15. II Hill Monument, erocte 1 by the Hill Menu mental Association of Atlanta Our number was increased at every ata tion, and when we reached om desti nation there was acnrcely standing room. All aeetned wild with enthu aiaam nt the thought of being at the unveiling nnd taking pad in the day * doings. Trains over the various roads that center in Atlanta were tilled to their utmost capacity with human freight and nt no time in her history has she hud such n host. They came from evei v State from Vn , un i to Texas mi I also from the far north States to do honor to those exponents of all that ia pure nnd noble and chivalrous in Southern manhood, the lamented Hill ami the liung, beloved ntld honored Davis. I hey were of • very condition, the child, the lads nnd lasse,. just beginning to bud and blossom into young manhood and young womanhood. The young men and women, the men nnd women of middle age, the grand sues and dailies with hair made white by the fronts of time, till were represented in the vast concourse that surged mt > Atlanta ami fill ed her streets I poll some of the principal streets pedes trians found it difficult to make their way unless moved along with the en thusmstie multitude. The visitors added to the citizens of Atlanta by It) o'clock hid formed a*■> id hum an wall that was impanelrable. nnd with ull it was mi orderly crowd No drunkenness Every one seemed to have resolved to make it the grandest day known to the history of out be loved Stille. It was n geuurid match less uprising and outpouring of en thusiastic humanity. ft was a grand and telling tribute to good nnd true humanity ns represented in the two most illustrious and honored sons the South, and we might safely sny. the world ever produced, It beggars description. It was indescribable. Al H o'clock ths Confederate Veter nils began to gather nt the Court Hous<, the place of rendevous The\ wore thoro in utmost countless num tiers for the purpose of taking putt in the honors to bo so lavishly show •red upon the living ami the dead. The red badge of the Fulton County Association was very noticeable. The old veterans received cheer after cheer ns they marched through the principal street* Near the statue nt au early hour ropes were stretched to prevent a jamb immediately nroim I it until after the arrival of the car. rings* containing our loved Mr. Davis, the orator of the day and others. It was with difficulty that one could pass through this immense throug for several blocks away from the statue. The appearance at the platform was gay. quite a number of flags fluttered iu the crisp Southern breeze At the entrance to the pl it form were two flags. n t inted States flag unfurled to the winds and our Confederate flag, furled nnd tied with gray ribboua mulch' told the s.id. sad story of April 1565. When the ev Preaidenl's party reached the plat form the baud struck up "Dixie, which bixmght d' dening cheers Sme one Vella i out ' Hurrah for .left’ Davis' and shouting was renewed ten fold. As far as the eya could reach in every direction wa» one vast sea of faces this mighty throng gained back and forth. like the wave* of Die ocean. The matchlaas Henry Grady was master of weL.etiu s and introduced the s|»eakers in that happy and elo quent style peculiar to himself. The •ration delivered by Mi Black was tbe crowning effort of his life nnd it w»i verv fitly said that the mantle of i Mr Hili eeetued to h«ve fallen upon hrs shoulders. Th" statue was ten- dried the city by Dr. Spaulding and receive*! bv Gov. Mcltaniel in a faultleselr ringing sjieech. In the midst of Ilia speech Gen. Longstreet, die** 1 in hi» Confederate uniform with sword. boots and spurs, ascend ed the platform and contrary to his i xpi ctutione was received very tanie- Iv. At the conclusion Mr. Davie was piewnt' d ami cheer after cheer from 40,000 throats greeted him. As was previously announced and determined upon. no speech from him was < pet ted. Only a few remarks were made by him and principally in reference to bis friend Mr. Hill. The demonstration was grand and imposing when the daughter of the Confederacy was presented, she only bowed ami smiled in receiving the honor < She is of the loveliest type of Southern womanhood, pretty, beautiful form and the personifica tion of * and grace. Die reception given Mr. Davis nnd p-,lt;. at the Capitol City Club Wil* in . keeping with th* many things in gen ial conducted l»y the people of Atlanta, it was n great success which would have don*- credit to cities I w ice her size. Sunday morning at 10 o'clock .Mr. Davis nnd party left for Savannah. We stood on the balcony at the Markham ami saw him alight from his carriage, enter the special car, take off his hut, bow ami smile pleasantly to all and retire, ami roon the bell rang, announcing the time for Ins departure As the train moved away the stillness that seem* 1 to take po -ishioli oi the town was indescribable. It being the Lord’s day no demonstration what ever was mad*. Space forbids a more extended notice. We appreciate kindness ex tended us by friends in the Gate City, which words fail to express. B.

Mrssns Editors: Please allow me space in your i columns to make a suggestion to the ■ voters of Columbia county. There J seems to be a disposition on the I part of some to make the fence i question an issue in the approaching I election for Representative. I have | given the matter a good deal of ] thought recently, ami rim free to i say, that I cannot see how it can be | made an issue without the risk of bringing upon us untold trouble in the future, by forcing out a voting element that would be obnoxious to the lief ter class of citizens. To avoid this apprehended trouble the question should be settled in our primary election, ami I would suggest that each voter, write on the back of his ticket, for or ngainsf repeal, nnd the Representative elect, be controll ed by the majority thus expressed. I am sure this should satisfy all concerue*!. Th* question then would lie settled by those most interested. Glo M. Lazknby. Muy, Ith 1886. Letters Dismission.
