ANOTHER DAVIS FLAG!
Republicans on CuShnOc Heights
Pat Out Il Flag.
RESIDENCES BEAUTIFULLY
ILLUMINATED.
A Large Gathering and Stirring
Speeches.

| From the city proper the view OF the many
lighted houses was very striking, as they
seemed TO rise one above another along the
ascending length of Northern Avenue. But
when the very midst of the scene was reached
there was found such a magnificent display in
the way of Examinations that was quite sur
prising, The number of houses llumii. atcd
was very large, the taste and display exhibit
ed in many places was very fine, and the
whole effect was dazzling and beautiful.
Some persons even went so far as to declare
that certain sections of the heights presented
as handsome an appearance as was ever seen
anywhere in Augusta.
Shortly after haif-past O'Clock the Angus
Ia Band and the Davis Corpor'ls in Il body
reached the heights, and as they passed be-
meath the flag it was gently unfurcd to the
breezes, and the large crowd which assem-
bled poured forth welcoming cheers. Under
the direction of Mr.. j. b. Dyer the process
sion took its way up Northern Avenue and
through Jefferson, Oxford, Washington, Ken
dali and York streets, passing in its march
all the illuminated residences and finally re-
turning to the stand, which had been erected
for the speakers. This platform was soon
surrounded by a great concourse Of people,
many of them having come in teams from the
! city, or from quite Il distance in the country.
Geo. +. Weeks, Esq, called the assem-
blage to order and proposed three cheers for
| Hon. Daniel +. Davis, and they were given
with a will. He then introduced DR.. Brickett
as the first speaker, who addressed the crowd
! in happy and eloquent manner for quarter
of an hour. He was followed by Herbert NJ.
/ He ath, Esq, who held the closest attention
of his hearers till 9 o'clock, when Hon. Lot
NJ. Morrill, was presented. Mr.. Morrill, was
the last speaker, but his remarks were very
earnest and telling, and were closely listened
! to till the end
