We ehail be enabled to preeent next week brief account t>f tbe most important matter* acted on by the Convention. The adjournment probably took place on Tocaday. A private letter from Macon to a friend I* (hie piece, eta tea that the erowd at rial tore In the City U greater than ever known before la that place, and taxes the geaereo* hoapitality of j the pitlsena to tt* utmost capacity. Among the visitors are a number of the aewly married, and the greatest trouble was experienced in finding accommodation* for the bridal conplcs; the ladiee of Macon aot being prepared to entertaia so tnaay wedding parties. A grate gentleman, oa being informed of the difficulty, suggested the expedient of petting all the brides in oae room and all the grooms in another, and to oonrort the ladles into nam and the gentlemen into saonks during the eontinuanca of the Contention. The rotes of lbs latter in faror of an eariy adjournment would most probably bo secured by this meant. Visit of a Farmer Citizen to his Friends and eld Home.?Honorable W. F.

It will he remembered that h? waa the Demoeratie candidate for the speakership of the House of Krpreaeitla live* la*t summer,-and was defeated only by giving his own vote to hi* competitor, who threw off hie vole on a Republican mem I er. Since that time he haa been rec ognised as ao influential member and Irad er of hia party, and perhaps exerting a more extensive influence then any other ptiblte man la Northern Georgia, lie takes great interest iu the completion ot the AirLine Raili oed which is expreted to past through Greenville C'<nnty. if not through our city. It was principally by hia untir. ing, ceatclers effort* before the Legislature of Georgia which secured for that enter prise the endorsement of the credit of the State for over one million of dollars, and whieh haa enabled tbe directors to om monet work at once. His name hat fre queutly been mentioned by the press of the 8tate in connection with a seat iu Congress, arid would in all probability now be scan didate did not the test oath M present a formidable obstacle.
