TO KNOXVILLE.
What the Richmond and Dam
Vile Offer TO DO-An Equally
Favorable Proposition from the
Baltimore and OhiO-The City to
Make Its Choice I'm a Few Days.

AUGUSTA, Ga, June s-An important
railroad conference was held here to-day
between the officers Of the Richmond and
Danviile Railroad and the Mayor and City
Attorney Of Augusta. 1t Is known that the
Baltimore and Ohio are preparing propo-
sition to obtain control Of the Augusta and
Knoxville Railroad, and the Clyde sYndi-
cate are anxious to keep that company out.
At the conference to day very liberal
proposition was made by President Buford,
OF the Richmond and DanVille. It in
cludes the following terms:
The city to transfer its stock in the Au-
gusta and Knoxville to the Richmond and
DSnville, but not until the necessity shall
arise for issuing bonds upon the consolida-
ted road.
Satisfactory security to be given the city
for the completion of the line to Knoxville
via Eiberton, within two years of the COM

ment OF the bonds Of the Augusta and
Knoxville Railroad
No unjust Determinations against Angus.
ia In regards to freight or passengers.
All the contracts of the Augusta aud
Knoxville Railroad to be carried out in
good faith.
The proposition of the Baltimore and
Ohio, 1t is said, will be very liberal and will
include the building of the road to Elber-
ton.
Both propositions will be considered by
the City Council next Tuesday, and one of
them VIII probably be accepted.
A meeting of merchants will be held here
to morrow to hear an address from Fl. l.

In the matter here.

THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.
The Reunion at Hartford, Conn.

WASHINGTON, June S.-A special to the
StG' tonight from Hartford, Conn, says:
"The meeting of the Army of the Potomac
here to-day was the largest uf all its gather
ings. General FL. g. Wright, of Washing
ton, now its President, called the meeting
to order. General Sherman will deliver the
annual address this evening. 1t is under
stood that it will be of unusual interest, as
he will reply to some of the criticisms made
upon him by jeff Davis in his book just out.
In this book he refers to the burning of
Columbia, 8. G., aud General Sherman's
campaign In and around Atlanta, and COM
pares him to the wicked and notorious
Duke of Aiva. Gen. Sherman Gays there is
no more sense In the comparison than there
would be In the claim that he was equal
to Caesar and all his Commentaries. The
day is bright and the city is crowded"
HARTFORD, Conn June S.-The public
exercises this afternoon were held at the
Opera House, which was densely crowded.
The body OF the house was occupied BY
veteran soldiers and guests and the gale
rles by citizens, including many ladies.
Over the stage was a representation
Of military camps with tents, Gatling
guns, flags, etc. The procee linqs were
opened with an address by Mayor BulkIey,
which was briefly responded to by Gen. H.
G.. Wright, President Of the Society. A
poem was read by Col. S. D. Sumner, of
Bridgeport. The grafton by DanT
Dougherty, of Philadelphia, was read
with frequent enthusiastic applause.
After the oration brief speeches were
made by Gen. W. 7. Sherman, Secretary of

George HigeloW. A committee was ap-
pointed to arrange for general reunion of
