It seems to us that this progressive spirit ls peculiar to j on In all thu gs. We have been overwhelmed by your pro? gressive hospitality.

Who. now that In? spired prophets are %U dead, can rise and ?peak fitly to tials text ? fdlenoe-arter the mention of this sub? lime subject, the South- silence that tells of the sur? charged and acbiug h> art. is better than any tribute in words that mortal lips can uttei. But pardon just a word "r two. Ihe fa tn ere of the men I see around me as far back as the days of t1 e monarchy, were men who bowed to tbe claims of law, of good faith and honor. When tbe foundations of thia government were laid, Southern men place I them, as they thought, firmly upon fraternity and puolic honor, well knowing that all other supports must fail in our form of gov? ernment When the new experiment had to have Ita theories verified by the results of practi al administration. Southern patriots irom this soil demonstrated the beauty and practicability of the s?beme, and for seventy years, by their honor, th -lr providence, their staunchness of statesmanship, they made this gov? ernment what now sounds like melancholy satire, "The best government the world ever saw." Wben decay and failure set In, our patriote gave the warning. When they were established, and a rotten fabric toppled and fall, our leaders stood calm and erect, and with such sad pride aa great souls look upon a mortal wreck, that their prayers and warnings could not avert. 'And now, with a catalogue of names hallowed, of deeds achieved, of wrong * endured, and ah, well-a day, of memories committed to eternal record as en? ables us to look the world full in the eye, we wait on God's will and the future. [Applause. J And bow calmly we may walt. Our principies have had no refutation, though an ocean ol blood and uncountable millions of treasure bave been wasted on the argument And when the day come*, as surely lt will come, when our interpret ?tions of duty shall wring reluc? tant tributes from those who decided against us In this great controversy, then will tbls south of ours rise to ber grand consummate boner and (dory. But it the degeneracy and aoostacy of the s ge shall oe? ae na too. and our men fail us, then the recording angel may turn awav in sorrow from the men. and tell to admit?' g spirits the deeds and glory of South? ern women.

Ou Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, the steam? er Rainbow, of Borne, finished tbe programme in the performance of playing off-mp King two hundred and seventeen feet, lt is proper to add that the arrangement for the exercises and order of playing was malo in the morning, at a meeting of tho several presidents of com? panies whioh was presided ovor by President Buist, and that each drew for bis turn, so that there was no opportunity for grumbling. The companies now formed in hollow-square in front of the State House, and the prizes were arranged upon an elevated platform. These were presented to the winning com? panies by Colonel L. J. G loon, who with bapny tact and exceeding grace performed tho diffi? cult task of paying a compliment to each, and yet of "paying something ftro?u and different to all. Among the unofficial prizes was a sewing machine, offered by Mr. Gibbes, agent ot Bartram' & Fenton, manufacturers, with the understanding that it was to be given to the company having the largest number of bache? lors in its ranks, and tho further reservation that the company should boston it upan the first man who marries out of his flock. It may be remarked here that the Defiance, of Macon, alone had upon tho ground sixty-five unmarried men. " * The first gift was a testimonial to Hook and Ladder No. 1, of Atlanta, consisting ol a wine The first prize was a silver trugspot awarded to the Tallulah, of Atlanta, being the chief prize for the third class hand engines. The second prize was also a silver trumpet, awarded to hand engine No. 5, of Augusta, Captain Pat Walsh, and most elegantly re? ceived by n im. The third prize was a pitcher and two gob? lets, presented to Defiance, hand engine, of MacoD, by one of the citizens of Atlanta, as a mememto of Atlanta's hospitality. Mechanic, No. 2, received a pitcher and gob? lets. Next in turn of presentation were the Pal mettoes, who received the greatest and most valuable prize of all, to-wit: a silver punch bowl, valued at $123. ' President Buist reoeived the prize from Col? onel Glenn, in behalf of the PalmettoeB, and spoke as follows: Colonel Glenn, Gentlemen jf the fire Department, Citizens of Atlanta-Tho Ta: in ut toes thank yon for tbe teeling and glowing tribut* told to the State of oar birth and affection. It ia the crowning glory of a continued ovation of honor bestowed bv jour great State upon oura during this visit.

The companies at this Juncture separated amid a general outlay of cheers, including si: rousing ones proposed by Chief Nathan; firs for the Fire Department of Atlanta, and sec ond for the ladies of Atlanta. The Palmettoes then formed in line, receive? a marching salute from the entire Departmen of Atlanta, and with their prize borne at th head of the company, escorted on either ham .by a member of the Vigilants, (Messrs.

Hereon of the episodes of the general rejoicing was a: invitation extended by the Palmettoes, an formally accepted by that company, to vlsi Charleston on the occasion of our next fin man's anniversary. The silver punoh bowl wa christened by numerous bumpers from 11 gilded depth; the boys exchanged hat: badges and presents, and general geed feelin prevailed.

PEBSOHNT DOVES A S lt DOVECOTS. LFrom the Saturday ?<-vio\v | Times must be very bad indeed if a faithful few are not still left to keep the sonrces of so? ciety sweet and wholesome. When corruption has gone through tho whole nines and all classes are bad alike, every tiling comes to an end, and there is a general overthrow of na? tional life; but while some are lett puro and unspotted we are not quite undone, and we reason ably hope for better days in tho future. In the midst of the reign of tho girl of tbe pe? riod, with her slang and her boluness-of the fashionable woman, with her danial of duty and her madness for pleasure-we come every now and then upon a group of good girls of the real old English typo, tho fm ?hf ul few ?trowing up silently arnon g us, but none the OBS valuable been uso they are silent and make no public display-cloves who are content with life as they bave it in the dovecot, and have no desire to be either eagles dwelling on romantic heights, or peacocks displaying their pride in sunny courts. We find these faithful few ia town and country al'ke ; bat they are lifest in Ibo country, where there is less temptation to go wroog than there is in the large towns, and where life is moro simple, and the moral tone undeniably higher. The lead? ing featuro of thc e girls is their love of homo and of their own family, and their power of makiug c coupation and happiness ont of appa? rently meagre materials. It they ?We the eld? ers, they find amusement and ni ?rb in their little brothers and slaters, whom tbjy consider immensely funny, and to* whom they are as much girl-mothers as sisters; if th ?y are the yo augers, they idolize their baby nephews and nieces. For thero is always a baby going on somewhere ubout these houses, babies being tbe great excitement of home life, and the an? tiseptic element which keeps everything else pure. They ore passionately attached to papa and mamma, whom thay think the very king and queen of humanity, and Whom they do not call by even endearing elan g names. It has never occurred to them to criticise them is or? dinary mortals: and as they have not been, in the way of learning tho prevailing ac? cent ot disrespect, they have not shaken off that almost religious veneration for their parents whioh all young people feel naturally, if they have been well brought up and are not corrupted. The yoke in most middle-class con o try -bouses ia one fitting very loosely round all necks; and there being no power of usiur greater freedom, if even they had it, the girls are not fretted by its pressure, and are con? tent to live under it in peace. They adore their elder brothers who are from home just begin? ning the great battle of life for themselves, and confidently believe them to be the finest fel? lows going, and the future great men of the day if only tbey c ire to put out those splendid talents of theirs, and take the trouble of pluck? ing the prizes within their reaoh. They may have a slight reservation, perhaps, in favor of the brothers' friend, whom they place on a Eodestal of almost equal heigl?r. But they eep their mental architecture a profound secret from everylonapand c o not suffer them? selves co let it grow into too solid a structure unless it has some surer foundation than their own fancy. For, though doves are loving, they are by no means love-sick damsels; they are too healthy and natural and quietly busy for nu wholesome dreams. If one of them mar? nes, they, all unite in loving tho man who comes in among them. He is adopted as one of themselves, and leaps into a family of idol? izing sisters who pet bim as their brother with just that subtle little difference in the pet? ting that it comes from si -?ter? unaccustomed, and so has the obarm of novelty lt not tho ex? citement of naughtiness. But this kind of thing is about the most dangerous to a man's moral nature that can bsfall him. Though pretty to see, and undeniably pleasant to experience,and though perfectly innocent in every way, still nothing enervates one to much aa this idola? trous submission of a largo fami ?y ot women, in a widow's house, where the o are many daughters and no sons, and wbwre tho mau who marries one marries tbe whale family, and is worshipped accordingly, the -langer is of oom se increased tenfold; out if Meie are bro? thers and a hither, the Bister's b Jt'd?hough such a fuss with, and the association is all the less hurtful in consequence. The life of these girls is by no moans stupid, though it is quiet and without any spasmodic events or cataclysms of fortune in any way. They go a great deal among the village pool, and they teach at the Sunday-school, aud at? tend thc mothers' meetings and clothing-clubs aud tho liku, and learn to got interested in their humbler frie-ds, who, after all, are Chris? tian els tais. They read their romances in real life instead of in three-volume novels, and study human nature as it is-in the rough, certainly, but perhaps m more genuine form than if they learnt it only in what ie called society. Then they have their pleasures, though they are of an unexciting kind and what fast girls would cali awfully slow. They havo their horses and their croquet parties and their archery meetings, they have batohes of new music, anda monthly box from lindie's, and they know the value of both; and they go out to tea sometimes, and sometimes to dinner in the neighborhood; and enjoy the r ire coun? try balls with a zest unknown to London giris wno aro out every night in the week. They have their village flower-shows, which the great families patronize in a tiee-and-easy kind of way, and whioh give occupation for weeks before and subject for talk tor weeks after; their school feasts, where the pet parson of the distnet. oomes out with bis best anec? dotes, and makes mild jokes at a long distance from Sydney Smith; their periodical mis? sionary meetings, where they have great guns from London, and where they hear unctuous stories about the saintliness of converted can? nibals, and are required to believe in the power of a change of faith to preduoe au ethnologi? cal miracle; they have their friends to stay with them-sohool-girl friends-with whom they exchange deep confidences, and go back over the old days-so old to their youth i and their brothers come down in the summer; and their brothers' friends some with them, and do a little spooning in the shrubbery. Bat there is more spooning doue at picnics than any? where oise; and more ollera are made there, under tbe-shadow of the old rain, or in the. ! quiet leafy nook by the river side, tbau tat any other gathering time of the country. .And as we are all to a certain extent what we are made, these pleasure? being the only ones known to them, the doves take to them quite kindly and gratefully, and enjoy themselves in a simplici? ty of circumstances whioh would give no plea? sure at all to girls accustomed to more bigbly spioed entertainments. Doves know very little of evil. They are not lu the way of learmug it; and they do not care to learn it. The few villagers who are supposed to lead ill lives are spoken of below the breath, ?nd care tally avoided without being critic illy studied. When the railway is earned down past their qnlet nest, there is an immense excitement as tue report, goes that a koot of strange men have boen seen scattering themselves over the fields with their little white flags and theodol? ites-choir measuring lines and levels. But ?rhen the ar my of navvies follows after, the ex itement is changed td consternation, and a general sense of evil brooding ruthlessly over thom. The clergy of tho di H trio t organize spe? cial services; and the scared doves heep rell-" giously away tro tn the p ace where the.cavvies are hutted. They are little better than the savage?, the deputation tell them about on?*e or twice a year? and create almost a? much terror se an encampment of gipsies. They represent the lawless forcos of the world, and the unknown evil of strong men; and the wild? est story about them *s not too wild tobe be? lieved. The railway altogether is a great of? fence, to the neighborhood, and the line is.as? sumed to destroy the whole scenic beauty of the plaoe. There are lamentations over the cockneys it will bring down, over the high pri?es it will create, tho immorality lt wdl cau-c. Only ?ho ?one who are out in the wc rid and have learnt hew life goes on outside the dovecot, advocate keeping pace with the time?; and a few of tho more strong minded of the dove? listen to them with a timid admira? tion of their breadth and boldness, and think there maybe two side* to tho question after alt; When the dashing captain and his last wife suddenly appear in the village-as often happen? in these remo e districts th? doves are Ur a otate ot great moral complexity.

If things fro qm ot ly without an explosion, well and good; but if tho truth bursts to the sur? face in the shape of a London detective, and the Highflyers are lound to be no better than they should be, the consternation and half awed wonderment at the existence of so muoh effrontery and villany in their atmosphere or?ate an impression which no timo effaces. The first clash of lUuuoence with evil is an event in the life of the innocent which nothing eyer destroys. The dovecot is rather dull in the winter, and the doves are somewhat moped; but even then they have the church to decorate, and the sen? timent of Christmas to enliven them. The ab? sent ones of the family, too, gather round tho old hearth while they can; and as the great joy of the dovecot U'CB in the family union that is kept up, and in the family love whiob is so $ tr ou tr, the visits of the absent bring a moral summer as warm and cheering as the physical sunshine. But they do not all assemble. For many of the doves marry mon whoso work lies abroad; these quiet country houses being the favorite matrimonial bunting-grounds for colo? nists and Anglo-Indiana. So that some are always absent, whoso healths are drunk in the traditional punch, with eves that grow moist as the names are said. Doves are not disin? clined lo marry men who have to go abroad, for all the passionate family love common1 to thom. Travol is a golden dream to them in their still homes; but travel properly compan? ioned. For even the moat adventurous among them ara not independent, as we mean when we speak of independence in women. They are essentially home giris, family girls, doves who cannot exist at all without a dovecot, how? ever ' humble. The family is everything to them, and they are utterly unfit for the soli? tude which so many ot our self-supporting womon can accept quite resignedly. Not that they are necessarily useless even as breadwinners. They could work if pushed to it; but ic must be in a quiet, womanly way, with the mother, tho sister, the husband as the helper, with the home as the place of rest and the refuge. Their whole lines are laid in love and quietness; not necessarily in inac? tion, but their wishes aud their aims are all centred within the home circle. If they marry, they find the love of their husband enough for them, and have no desire for otber men's ad? miration; their babies are all the world to them, and they do not think maternity an infliction as so many nf the miserably fashionable think it; they hk?r tho occupation of housekeeping, and feel pride in their fine linen and olean ser? vice, in their well-ordered table an 1 neatly bal? anced accounts. They aro kind to their ser? vants, who generally come from the old home, and whose families they therefore know; but they keep up a certain dignity and tone of su? periority towards them in the midst of all their kindness, which very few town-bred mistresses can keep to town-bred maids. They have al? ways been the aristocracy in their native place, and they carry through life the ineffaceable stamp which being "the best" gives. They are essentially mild and gentle women; not queens of society even when they are pretty, because not caring for social Bucoess, and therefore not laying themselves out for it; for if they please at homo that is all they care tor, holdmtr love before admiration, and the esteem of one high? er thau the praise of many. If a fault is to be found with them it is that they have not perhaps quite enough "salt" for the general taste, used as it is to such highly seasoned social food; but do we really want our women to have so'very much character ? Do not our splendid passionate creatures lead madly wm tehan lives and make miserably uncomfort? able homes ? and are not our glorious hero? ines better in pictures and in fiction than seat? ed by the nursery fire, or checking tho baker's bul ? No doubt the quiet home-staying UOVJS seem tame enough when we think of the cror geous h zings made familiar to us by romance and history, which is more romantic still; but as our daily lives run chiefly in prose, they are better fitted for thing i as thev are; and to men Bare ftr&V$M$ tit?M?^**u?$Xt? ty of home, they are beyond price when they can be found and secured. So that, on the whole, we can dispense with the splendid orea toros of c li arider and the magnificent queens of society sooner than with the quiet and unob? trusive doves; arni though they do spoil men most monstrously, they know where to draw the dne, and while petting their own at hom 3 -os women should-know bow to keep strang ors abroad at a distance, and to make them? selves respected as only modest and gentle women are respected by men.
