dants are seated. His Sultan.ic Majesty is re-
ceived with all due form and ceremony, robed
in his imperial authority he is proudly seated,
and regards his subjects with profound salts
faction, and well he may, for he is
"Lord of all he surveys,
His right, there is none to dispute"
Col. W-s of Elbert bears the charac.
ter of monk in his flowing sable robes and
larged-sized cross Father Confessor looks
very like Priest, and is ready, on accommoda-
ting terms, to grant absolmions for the past,
and a reasonable furlough of privileges for the
uture. Mr.. Oh of S. c., appears as a
Polish Exile, and like 'Warsaw's last champion
from her
heights surveyed,
His bleeding country mock of ruin laid"
1t would seem that his condition was an un
happy and fearful one; the Turks are gener-
ally cruel to exiles, and they are in close proxi-
nifty. Heis in no danger as Mr.. W D. of
Augusta, noble Highland Chief, with his tar
tan-plaid, and waving plume, and bonnet; and
Mr.. c. of Lexington, as an officer, and Mr..
u of Oglethorpe as an English gentleman,
are all his friends
We may easily imagine "John Anderson, my
Joe John" in the metamorphosed Mr.J- D.
Of Augusta, and his afectionate and amiable
spouse, Mrs. John Anderson, my Joe John, Mrs.

ly admired, (even by tte Royal Sultan) for
their remarkable fondness for each other, and
extreme sollcitude for each c';,er's welfare, and

glowing with the warm enthusiasm of nineteen
summers; they joyously Joined in the dance
and really seemed to forget that they were ra-

pose; particularly were we impressed with the
extraordinary agility which old Mr. Anderson
displayed, quite remarkable for one Of his years.
With all the spirit OF youth and hope, he enter
ed in the mazes of the giddy dance, and whilst
performing the various evolutions of the cotil'
lion with some Mountain Maid or fair Madonna,
imagination may well couture up his saying
to himself
80 would were boy again"
Thus ends the chapter on the Costume Ball.
One or two characters!.were introduced, but we
haven't time just now, every thing passed off
quite handsomely, and the entire satisfaction
and amusement of every one, we may conclude
from what we have since heard from the Catoo-
sa Fancy Ball, that the Madison was not infe-
rior to the Catoosa.
A largle number of the visitors were to leave
on Wednesday for the Tallulah Falls near
CLARKEsvILLE, some fourteen miles distant
from that place. Welelt MADISON on Monday
