We intended to forward the above
hurriedly written article for the paper
of the 18th, but as barbecue, public
speaking, etc.. comes off that day, we
will wait and append a short descrip-
ton of diem.
Saturday was ushered in by an un-
clouded sky, with delightful breeze.
making it all that could be desired for
the large crowd that commenced COM
ing in to Bon Aqua at early dawn, and
and by ten o'clock some 1900 persons
had coDgregated at the springs and
barbecue grounds among the number
were Gov. Porter, Gen. Whitthorne,
Col. Bureh and Mr.. Moore, who we're
to be the orators Of the day. At1l
o'clock the crowd assembled at the
beautiful level grove just above the
springs, and after some excellent music
by the band. Gen. Whitthorne intro
duced Gov. Porter. The Governor,
in speech of just one hour, gave q
detailed account of his administration
since his Inauguration as chief exeou-
tive OF the State. He showed that re-
form and retrenchment had been the
leading features Of his ADMINISTRATION,
and gave them facts and figures to cor
roborate every assertion be made. His
speech was plain, practical and sensi-
bic, at the close Of which he was fol-
lowed by Gen. Whitthorne. The Gen
eral delivered an able and exhaustive
speech upon questions of national
character. He gave an account Of his
Stewardship whilst in the long and
wearisome session Of congress which
has just closed. He showed up the cor
ruption and rottenness of the radical
government in mastery manner, aud
then compared the Presidential aspir-
ants Tilden and Hayes, showing con-
clusively that Hayes is endorsed and
will be controlled by Grants pets, such
as Chandler, Morton & Co., and If
elected, would carry out Grants pro-
gramme, and leave the country in the
same deplorable condition it is in at
the present time. But, if, as he and
all good men believe, Tilden is elected,
his ideas of retrenchment and reform
would redeem the nation and place il
once more upon the highroad to pros
perity and restore it to its prestine
purity and greatness. It was an elo-
quent, able speech delivered in his
happiest style.
Col. Burch then made a short but
telling speech, after which the crowd
took up their line of march for the
barbecue grounds. There was an
abundance of choice, we'll prepared
meats, bread and vegetables. and all
enjoyed it in quiet order and good hu-
NOR.
This closed the proceedibss for the
day, and at five o'clock the crowd dis
persed, leaving the guests Of Bon Aqua
to their innocent enjOyments aud quiet
rest.
Mr.. Charles Plummer, correspond
ent for the Nashville American, was
here to report the proceedings of the
speaking on Saturday. He rOomed
with us, and now that he is gone we
miss his genial countenanee aud agree
able company. Through his Kindness
we are supplied with the daily Ameri-
can during the remainder of our stay
here, for which we tender our sincere
thanks. - "A
Sunday, the 9th was the most lovely
day of the season-quiet reigned su-
preme at the springs. As is generally
the case here on the Sabbath the guests
enjoyed listening to a sermon by Rev.
Z. w. Halbach, principal of Centre
vile Academy. His text was "There
is nothing new under the Sun" The
discourse was Of the character Of
scientific lecture, giving God, and not
man, all the praise and glory for the
many noble achievements in science,
and showed throughout great research
on the partofthe speaker. One grand
and beautiful idea of the discourse
was, although there is nothing new
under the sun, yet above and beyond,
when we reach that bright sphere then.
indeed, all things will be new, and
our liabilities for enjoyment will be
enhanced in proportion 70 the never
ending glories spread out before our
spiritual vision, where We can study
and enjoy the greatness, goodness and
glory Of the Infinite throughout eter-
nifty. .a..--r9 .L.R

lovely locality, you may hear from me
