This is beyond the j (triadic- 1 tuon of the city, but the Commissioners of 1 Roads and the lot-owners in the cemeteries i -would, doubtless, contribute the necessary i .money. Few persons who have traversed this < avenue, have railed to notice the sandy condi- 1 tion of the road, which is tiresome to horses ? and annoying to riders. The distance tobe 1 laid is quite short, and if the matter is pressed < and contracts are entered into at once, a firm : broad highway may be formed from the plank- i road to. the gates of the German, Ca tho bc and i Magnolia cemeteries.

'? Under this new schedule which will go into operation, if nothing unforeseen occur, on May 10th, the running time between New York and Atlanta will be sixty hours, instead of seventy-two hours, as lt now is. Close connections will be made, and it is expected that-the great bulk of the through travel will naturally pass over the coast route, in preference to the Tennessee line. The Con? vention adjourned Friday night, subject to the call of the President; MAX FESTIVAL OF THE SECOND PBESBTTEBIAN CHUBCH SUNDAY SCHOOL.-Among the May celebrations in the "merry month of May," there are none mora pleasing than the reunion of the Sunday School children, which takes place in many oi the churches. The annual May Festival of Dr. Smyth's (Second Presby? terian) Church was celebrated last Saturday afternoon. Punctually at. four P. M. the dif? ferent classes met at the church, and were assigned seats in front of the pulpit, the body of the church hieing filled with the parents and friends of tho children. .The. exercises were appropriately commenced by the youthful band Singing in concert the hymn commencing "Now we lift our tuneful voices." Mr. C. N. Averill is the able instructor in music, and the man? aor in Thioh the different hymns were render? ed by i J? school was a sufficient proof of his success as a teacher. After a prayer by the pastor, the Bev. Thomas Smyth, D. D., follow? ed by hymns, and a selection from the Scrip Lures, an address was delivered by Master J. J. 3hi8olm, on " "The Bible." Another address, in "The Sunday School," was delivered by Master Frank F. Whilden. Major R. C. Gilchrist, the superintendent, then call ad the names of some fifty boys and girls ?rho bad been regular in their attendance du? ring the last six months. As their Dames were ?lied tb.9 children took their stations in the lisle in front of the pulpit, and silver medals ?vere presented as a reward for their good con luct. The 8Choolwas then addressed by the super? intendent, and after a closing hymn adjourned 1 :o the mall in front of the church, where under 1 the shady trees tables were spread, and a < bountiful collation prepared. The trees were gracefully festooned with evergreens, wreaths i ind garlands. The children were seated ac d i waited on by the teachers, and the edibles < kindly furnished for the occasion soon disap- ] peared. It was a May celebration that will be i long remembered. The Second Presbyterian i Church 8unday School is one of the most I flourishing in the city, two hundred and sixty < scholars and forty teachers being enrolled, with 1 an average attendance of about two hundred 1 and fifteen children. THE CONHEE VATTYE MEETING.-The following is a correct report of the remarks of Colonel John ?. Carew, delivered at- the meeting held on Friday night. In the report already pub? lished there were several errors : FetourtitUens r It is perhaps proper that I should state as briefly as possible the object ot thia meeting, and the purposes for which we have assembled. It is scarcely necessary that I should refer to the present unhappy condi? tion of our couutry. That, unfortunately, is too familiar to you all. It is to avert the last deep calamity and de? gradation of seem? our beloved city fall under the dominion ot ignorance and barbarism, that we have met together here to-night. I know of no object ol' more importance. Indeed, I may say it involves a deep and solemn respon? sibility. For the first time m the history of the world, a whole people-an entire race have been elevated from a state of slavery to the rank of lawgivers an d ruters, and the white race-their former owners-Uhat race under whom this country for years had advanced to a ; state of high prosperity-have been reduced to a condition of political inferiority. The time, then, and- the circumstances by which we are surrounded, call for vigorous ac? tion at our hands, and, above all, call for entire unanimity upon our part. This is no time for the indulgence of mere personal considerations or the advocacy of personal preferences. We must show ourselves equal to the occasion, ready to sacrifice all considerations of a per? sonal character upon the altar of a common good. I trust and I believe, fellow-citizens, that von are alive to the importance of the work before us, and that we will come up to its pefor nance as one man, as a band of brothers, welded to? gether by one common misfortune, determin? ed to succeed or to fall together in the conflict. MASONIC SUPREME COUNCIL,, THIETT-XHXBXI DEGREE.-The Grand Council, of the Southern States and Territories in the United States will, we 1 earn, convene in this city to-day, in the new lodge room, recently fitted up over Holmes'Bookstore, corner of King and Went? worth streets. This Council embraces in ita jurisdiction the Southern and Northwestern States, California and the Territories. The Supreme Council for the Northern jurisdiction of the United States embraces the North? ern and Eastern States. The Southern Su? preme Council was established at Charles? ton in 1801, and is composed of the most learned and distinguished Masons of the States within its jurisdiction, and according to its constitution eau n?ver consist of a larger number than thirty-three, and no one is enti? tled to membership, unies3 unanimously, elected. It is expected that there will be a large attendance of the members at this meeting, as many questions connected with the welfare and advancement of the Masonic fraternity will be presented for consideration. The Grand Council is the highest body in the brotherhood, and its sessions are held bi-enni ally, the last being held at Washington in May, 1868. The following are the present officers of the Southern Supreme Council : ,.. .' Hon. Albert Pike,. of Arkansas, : Sovereign Grand Commander. Hon. W. S. Rockwell, of Georgia, Lieutenant Grand Commander. Hon. A. G. Mackey, of South Carolina, Grand Secretary General Hon. B. B. French, of Washington. Hon. Giles M. Hillier, of Mississippi. Hon. Henry Buist, of South Carolina. Hon. E. H. Shaw, of California. Hon. Howell Cobb, of Georgia. The body has much important business io consider, and the session will probably last a week._ THE VTRODTIA SPETNGS-OPINTNO br THE WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS TOR THE SEASON. Whatever may be the vicissitudes of the fu? ture, it will be many long years before South? erners forget the beatitudes of the Virginia Springs in the days before the war. As natural? ly as flew' the swallow homeward, did Caroli? nian and Georgian, Alabamian and Terian, Mississippian and Louisianian, turn to the blue mountains of Virginia and drink in there, in a few short weeks, deep draughts of enjoy? ment, which were tonics for mind and body, during the rest df the business or fashionable season. ?' None have forgotten the picturesque cabins, the huge hotels,, .the ever-glorious mountain peaks, the dancing, the flirting, the match-making, the bracing mountain air; all forming that ne plus ultra ot fun, jollity and general good times-that summit of summer ambition-that unapproachable, indescribable and nevcr-to-be-sufficiently-praised heart stirring, joy-making scena- the old Virginia Springs. Much has been lost that will never be recov? ered, but most of our old enjoyments gradually return. Last year the White Sulphur-King of Virginia Springs, Grand Mogul of health and vigor, Tycoon of quips, cranks, fun and frolic was opened for the first time since the war. Hundreds of Southerners flocked to the old place, and found that it retained all its natural charms. There were some short coinings, some little annoyances, and it was reserved for the present season to witness the White Sul? phur redivinus-to witness it in a new and glowing- garb, which is as far ahead of the robes of a year ago as the present silks and satins are ahead of the "homespun dress" that Southern ladies wore. It is not every man that can keep hotel, and it is not one hotel-keeper in a thousand that could run the White Sulphur Springs. But Peyton & Co., the present proprietors, have an inspiration, an afflatus ot their own, and have breathed into the famed watering-place a new life, aud given to it startling resurrection. "Two thousand feet above tide water;" every deep inspiration making the blood dance through the veins like quicksilver; every cold water fight ending in the defeat of all the blues and all the ailments that mortal ever knew. There is the renowned parlor, which is half as large again as the east room in the White House; there is the dining-room, which is the largest in the world, being three hundred feet long and seating twelve hundred persona; there is the "lover's walk," dear to maid and swain; there is the finest bathing establishment in the country; there is the bowling alley and the billiard room; there is Rosenberger^ full brass band, which discourses golden music; a table that would tempt even the man who "feasts with" Luculius to-night; and, lastly, a valetu? dinary kitchen where invalid visitors will, upon valid excuse, be furnished with all the delica? cies which the sick and feeble require. The White Sulphur has* accommodations for FIF? TEEN HUNDRED QUESTS, and cnn find room for twice that number. Messrs. Peyton & Co. are a host in them? selves; but they have other hosts of great strength and stunning importance. Mr. J. B. Tinsley, of the Spottswood Hotel, Richmond, is one of the best business men in the South, md as attentive as a newly engaged couple, air. J. B. Peyton, the room clerk, so well known last year, is as pushing as a steam engine, as courteous as Sir Charles Grandison, and os po? lite as a basket of chips. Then there is Col. C. S. Peyton, of the Virginia Hotel, Staunton, who is a nonpareil in hotel matters, and there is also Mr. E. G. Peyton, formerly of the Exchange Hotel, Richmond, who is unapproachable as a model Df what a hotel clerk should be. The White Sulphur has all the old traditions md all the new attractions, all the charms of nature and art, ali that can tickle the palate and ? le vate the soul; who but a poor "slave of the pen'' would not throw care to the dogs, leave reconstruction to take care of itself, haste to Ihe depot, and, after a rather long railroad ii ip and a twenty mile ride through the finest country that America knows, find "himself, iierself - and the little selves" in that "New Eden" and "Bower of Perpetual Bliss," the White Sulphur Springs.
