After Mr.. Davis had bid goodbye to his

pot previous to his departure from sayan-

plain that Mr.. Davis was very much IA

and running after the young lady took
her by the arm and told her she should see
MIR. Davis. Instantly her face Oeamed
with Joy, and she was led INTO the pres
ence OF Mr.. Davis. She shook his hand
and, prompted by her escort, kissed him.
She also heard his kind words, but was
too full Of emotion to reply, and giving
him one steady look of ahectionete rev.
erence withdrew from the car. She could
not trust her voice TO express her thanks
10 the gentleman who had carried her TO
see Mr.. Davis, but turning towards him
a face expressive OF the deepest graft
tude, she retired to her companion and
buried her face In her handkerchief.

O'Day Batted for IL Base Hits, with

Baggers.
Atlanta batted O'Day's delivery vester-
day for II base hits, and won the game
by score is to 6. Both clubs hit heavily.
Savannah made 10 base hits off Conway,
3 or which were three-baggers by Field,
Strict and Moriarity, and 2 were two
bsggers BY Field and O'Day. The game
was won by slugging.
The crowd that witnessed the game in
detail at the Fords' opera house was not
very enthusiastic. 1t was evidently not
sayannah's day to win. The heavy
batting Of O'Day was something Of
surprise, and what was still more surpris-
ing was Savannah's failure to hit Conway
heavier than the score shows. There was
considerable cheering when Field, Strict
and MOriarity batted MIN for three bases,
hut Lyons home run aud Cline, WIZ
liams and Lynch's three-baggers soon
Quoted the enthusiasm.
ATLANTA, May lO.-lO-days game be-
tween Atlanta and Savannah was an old
fashioned slugeing match. Both teams
batted with good effect Cline opened the
ball by knocking a three-bagger into left
field, and Lynch later on raped the ball
to the centre field fence for home run,
bringing in three men with him. Three
hits, after two men we're out gave
the visitors two earned runs. In the
third inning a couple of singles and two
errors gave the home team three more.
The visitors failed to head them at all and
in the ninth the Atlantas worked
the stick lively, making seven
hits, one three-bagger, which
enabled six men to score, Home
runs by Lynch and Lyons, three baggers
by Cline, Williams and Field, and a
pair of twO-baggers were the batting
features Of the game. The score is as toll

JOHN BELL.
A Man Who Lost a Great Opportunity by
Lack of Moral Courage.
20 Tnd;

Man Who Lost a Great Opportunity by
Lack of Moral Courage.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-Mr. Blaines severe
but just criticism of the course pursued during
the war by the late Hon. John Bell, of Tennes-
see, whom the Plumed knight holds largely re-
sponsible for the secession Of that State recalls
to the mind of your correspondent some facts
furnished by an old Tennessee politician, who
is well informed in the history of the volunteer
State" during the last past half century, and
which are of great interest at this moment.
Mr. Bell, it will be remembered, was the can
didate of the Southern Uniorsts for President
in 1860 True, Douglas received thousands of
votes in the border States and some in the cot
ton belt. but the great bulk Of Southern Union
lists, who were the old Wings, supported John
Bell for President and Edward Everett of
Massachusetts, for Vice president In Tennes
see to illustrate, Douglas received H. 900 votes,
while Bell received plurality of the vote of the
State, and got Its electors, as he did in Ken
lucky. Virginia and Maryland.
$50 great was the influence OF John Bell in
Tennessee that it is not doubted, as Mr.. Blaine
says, that had he remained true to the Union
the State would never have seeded" said the
Tennesseean. His old neghbors a. Nashville
have told me that in sympathy, in feeling, he
was really opposed to the disruption of the gov
ernment; that he always hated jeff Davis and
the secession leaders, bnt that while not want
ing in physical courage, he was lamentably de-
fcient in moral courage. When the preliminary
steps were being taken to carry Tennessee ont
of the Union and the secession mob III Nashville
was pushing things with high hand, Mr.. Bell
called upon his neiehbor, the Hon. John Trimble,
astanch Unionist and wringing his hands, asked
with pathetic voice. Trimble, is there no way by
which we can save Tennessee to the UnionF
Yes said Trimble, there is one way by which it
can be done In Gods name said Mr.. Bell,
name itP WELL sir continued Trimble, if you
will seize the glorious old banner of the stars
stripes and march through the streets of Nash
vile and call on the people to rally to it they
will do it in such manner as to strike terror to
the rebel leaders and stay the tide
why said Bell the secession mob would
assassinate me- That might be, was Trmbles
reply, but you would Tennessee to the
Union, and you will never have such glorious
opportunity to die
"But, instead of following Mr.. Trimble's ad-
vice, Mr.. Bell bowed to the storm, and permitted
himself to be bulldozed, few days after this in.
