Being subscriber TO, and constant reader OF
your universal Herald, which brings us news from
almost every corner of the fglobe, with SO much
regularity and dispatch, deem it proper TO let you
know that we have some news in Georgia, even
in the very heat of dog days Of the almanac Ac-
cordng to due notice given through the public
prints, with regular invitation from the Clay Club
in this town-a mass meeting OF the wings Of Geor-
gia was held here yesterday II may be proper TO
inform you that our town Cor village, as it is more
generally rermed>s one OF the most delightful places
in the State, very centrally situated for such pur-
pose. with fine railroad to the sea board, and
crossed at every angle with fine roads TO every part
OF the State possessing liberal, high minded
population, the wealthy part not rich enough 10

all the adjoining counties, with crowds IRON DIS
tances which we did not expect, assembled IN
thousands, marching through our village with their
banners, music, flags, eoons, carts, wagons,
coaches. and vehicles Of all descriptions have
not language to express the enthusiasm WI lch per-
vaded the multitude-the hurrahs The firing OF

old and young in our crowded streets, almost made
the stones cry out; il was truly mass movement
All around the village for half mile, was one
crowded encampment. Inc houses OF our
citizens were thrown open; the occupants, both
wing and democrat seemed To throw every nerve
into action to welcome and entertain their friends
| from distant parts. On the morning OF the 3lsf,
| the procession was formed of the several deleea-
| tons and Clay Clubs, with music and banners,
| &c, numbering upwards Of ten thousand hun
dreds and thousands looking on they marched IN
martial array TO the camp ground about one ana
half miles rom the village, to most beautiful
place, where a CONNEXIONS stand tor entertaining
the audience as duly prepared, and tables erected
