MAJOR JONES AND Mr.. CLAY.
LETTER FROM MAJOR JONES.
(COncIuded.)

After supper, went down to the Bloody Six
Hundred Club meeting, at the City Hail. tell
you what now, Colonel, them's nest of C00ns
for you. don't believe Augusty'l ever fall into
the hands Of the lokyfokye agin long as theirs
one Bloody Six Hundred left. Theirs spunk and
activity enough among 'em to supply the whole
State. They're the same fellers that raised the
very stones of Augusty to mutiny in le4O, and
the treachery of old Tyler haint had no more ef-
feet on them than black frost on ingion bed.
We had two first rate speeches from Mr.. Toombs
and Mr.. Stephens. You know Mr.. Stephens has
had the terrible misfortune to take rather differ
ent views of constitutional law from Mr.. Stiles,
and the other Iokyfoky representatives of Wing
Georgia in Congress. He touched on that subs
ect in his speech. He told the Bloody Six Hun
dreds that he had attempted to defend the consti-
tuition Of the country, and axd em if they would
stand by him and sustain him in his course? and
reckon If the pous Mr.. Stiles could have heard
the response that burst from the lips Of every
man in the room, he would begin to think it was
time to save his prayers for himself, and let Mr.
Stephens conscience take care of itself.
The next day looked about through the town;
and the fact is, Augusty is right smart chance
Of the city. But 1 think the people that first sot
it out was rather large between the eyes, and
made most too big calculations for its growth
The streets is monstrous wide and the houses is
drilled along on the sides OF 'em, at considerable
distance apart, except in some parts of Broad
street where the soil seems to be little better
| and the buildings grow tolerably thick. ! hant
rot room in this letter to tell you half the Won
| ders seed, and in fact was so much tuck up
| with MIR. Clay that didn't take much notice OF
anything else. ,
At noon went to the Masonic Hall, and was in
| troduced to Mr.. Clay, When gin him my hand
| ses l. "Mr. Clay Pm monstrous glad to see you IN
| Georgia, sir hope your thrivn," ses l. a1
"Thank you, Major" says he, "thank you sir
| how is the baby = p
"Right piert, thank you,' says |, sand the
| most surprisnest child in Georgia-hes perfect
| coon," says l. s e...8 .s-.5
"That's tile right stock, Major" ses l,e, "give
| nv respects to Mrs. Jones, and tell her hope
but before Mr., Clay could git it out somebody tuck
me by the coat tail, and ses he, give way, Major"
and the fust thing knowed was crowded away
into tother eend Of the room by the ellers that was
trying to git at Mr.. Clay. Bmeby they got ring
! around him, and then everybody had fair shown.
Iokyfokys and all came up and shuck the old man
| hand in good hearty fashion, and don't believe
there was man left the room that didn't like the
old coon better than he did when he went in.
There's somethin about him that draws one to
him and that makes one feel perfectly fam liar
| although we feel that we are in the presence OF a
great man. He's monstrous ugly, if you 60 to
sferin out his features like you would common
1 people's-but for all that, he's the best looking
anan ever saw. His mouth is like an overseer',
wages extendin from one years eend to tother
hut when he speaks you wouldn't have it AM
/ smaller if YOU could 1t seems like nature mad,
| il so a purpose to give free vent to the patriotic
emotions of his noble heart. His eye sparkle
with the fire of genius-hls broad forehead look
like the front view ofthe Temple of Wisdom, am
all his features bespeak him the noblest work
God--an honest man!
