The Barbecue at Athens, Ala.

The Barbecue at Athens, Ala.
The barbecue at Athens, Ala,
last Thursday was one of the most
magnificent affairs of the kind ever
held in the State. The several
committees who had charge of the
preparations spared neither time
nor expense in perfecting all the
arrangements necessary to make
the barbecue worthy of the remem-
brance Of all who attended it. The
Pulaski delegation were received at
the depot by a committee compos-
ed of Gen. Houston, Nessrs Tanner,
Nelson and Pryor, who immediate
" escorted them to the grounds
About 1000 people were present
and a fine band from Decatur dis
coursed tie sweetest music at inter
walls during the day. Before din
ner Gen. John G. Brown was intro
duced to the audience as the orator
of the day and for nearly an hour
he held the vast crowd spelI-bound
with the eIoquence Of that silvery
tongue whose accents have inspired
thousands of Tennesseeans in these
piping times of peace and electrified
their hearts when the flames of bat
tie painted the skies. The dinner
was magnificent and a friend of ours
who is a cOnnoisssar when barbe-
cued meats are to be discussed as
sures us, not with watery eyes, but
with watery mouth, that he never
saw more delicious viands in his
life. He also complimented the or
derby and quiet behavior Of the vast
crowd in attendance.

On Tuesday last, Green Turner,
copd, who was convicted of steal
ing a mule, in this county several
months ago, was sentenced by
Judge Martin, to be hanged within
mile Of the Court House in Pu-
laslzi. on the Eth day Of NovembeI
next. The Judge in pronouncing
the awful sentence Of death, advised
the negro to devote what time re-
manned to him, in preparing for the
world to come, TO consume It In
those spiritual offices, that prepare
the soul Of man. for the presence of
Him, from whose Judgment seat
there is no appeal. During the de-
livery of the sentence, Turner, dis
played much emotion, and seemed
utterly overwhelmed in contempla-
ting the terrible fate awaiting him.
Heretofore his demeanor has been
bold and defiant and he seemed to
be imbued with a spirit Of fanati-
cisIn worthy of 4 devotee Of Obi,
the tutelary divinity of the most
barbarous and savage of the Afri-
can races He belongs to that class
of negroes, whose untutored minds
conceive religion to be anything
but what it is, who in worshipping
God, believe, that a blind enthusi-
asm, unchecked by reason or
thought, entitle them to special
immunities from all sorts of cline.
During his trial, he frequently com
pared his own case to that of our
Savior, when he rode into Jerusa-
lem on a mule, that He found tied
TO tree, and argued in e2tehua-
ton of his own crime, that he sim
ply followed the example of his
Master. Turner is the only person
who has been sentenced to death by
a Civil Court in this county for
forty years.

OF the State seal, the result OF which be

gives some account of the change made In

gentleman added to the inscription which
previously existed upon the seal the words

reign ofthe bayonet, did not deem 1t proper
to raise an issue with the Governor about
the addition to the seal made by men who
were not only great but who ,oere genuine
Republicans, attempted to legalize Co.

that the great seal and the lesser seal now

seals are and shall continue to be the

Colonel McRAE assumes plausibly that as
the old seal was not broken, 1t Is uncertain
whether the seal now In use Is lawful.
