Telegrams from different part of the
country show that the observance of the
Fourth was more general than heretofore
This was especially the case in the Southern
cities. In Atlanta and in Richmond, Va,
the occasion was more of holiday than in
any year since 1860. Hon. a. II. Stephens
was the orator in Atlanta. He said the
centennial anniversaries hitherto celebrated
were but the preludes to the celebration in
Philadelphia next year, and in reply to the
question whether the South should be
represented there, he said lie knew Of no
more fitting occasion for tho gathering OF
all the people. At Memphis, Generals For
rest and Pillow made addresses, and the
former was presented, ON behalf of Il colored
society, with bouquet, ain token of re
conciliation."
