The cause of our going to Guerryton was a picnic aod barbecue, whioh was given by the merchants of the village nnd tho HUirounding planters to the young puoplo.

About noon the audience had swelled to about six hundred, and it was decided to havo some speakiug as a good appetizer before dinnor. With this uuwise thought in view—at least the dan era thought it unwise—the following geutlemen gracefully ascended the stand vaoated for them by the young people : \V v . Wolfson, A. Moses and J. M.

He called on tho people to be true to themselves, and showed how the once glorious State could be released from her political thraldjoi. The address was appl tudad; aud Captain Cox being calle 1 >n, responded in a sensible speech, favoriug the conciliation of the raoes and urging tho whites and blacks to work for the comtuou interest, for tho huooosh of one was. largely dependent ou the other. The speeches over, the largo concourse gathered about the well-l&deu tables, and did ample justice to the bArbaoued meats and the contents of the well-laden baskots. After dinuer dancing, was again resumed. I noticed among those who were enjoying themselves Dr. Leitner, of Geneva, and his brother, Major Leitner, of F.ast Geor gia; Messrs. Hirsh, Moss, and Thirumkor, of Ilurtville; A. A. Header ion, of Tus kegee; Emile Newman and Dr. Finny, of Midway. I have not enjoyed myself so muoh for an age, and this is all the more remarkable, aa there is not a white woman in a mile of Guerryton, all the inhabi tants of that village being confirmed old bachelors. I tried to persuade some of them to get married by the time the next picnic comes off; if they don’t | it won't be for the want of pretty girls. Brother Rich, by his peculiar and highly original style of danoing, won the name, from some wit, of “Emperor of all the Chinas.” We are all of ns indebted to Wolfson for his generous hospitality, and indeed, to everybody encountered for their expressions of regard and wishes for the suooess of the Enquirer-Sun.
