"Sir, I come from the North-west, and I bring to you the hail of hope, good cheer, and American brotherhood from every true and manly heart in all that mighty region. A few me:nents more and the first world's fair on southern soil will begin its three months' career. All the nations will take note of the experiment. Your brethren of the East, of the North and of the West are looking on, hoping all things and believing all things favorable to its success. After a little while it will take its place in history, and from that point may a new era of national prosperity be opened before the Ameri- can people, and may they be inspired with new and lasting affection for each other."
The ceremonies closed with a fitting poem by Paul H. Hayne, read by Col. N. J. Hammond, -a rare tribute to Atlanta, whose irrepressible enterprise has made this august achievement a success. The concep-

THE ORGANIZATION OF THE COTTON EXPOSITION.
tion of an International Cotton Exposition belongs to Mr. Edward Atkinson, of Boston, Mass., and the original idea was to combine in one great display, every conceivable form of cotton production, manu- facture and invention. This idea was soon enlarged, and the Exposi- tion was broadened into a World's Fair. There was much competition for the Exposition between southern cities, and some very strong inducements held out, but Atlanta won it. On the 25th of February, 1881, the first meeting of business men was held in Atlanta, and a tem- porary organization was effected. A charter was procured and a per- manent organization effected on the 16th of April. The enterprise was placed in the hands of an executive committee of 29 members. The committee was composed as follows:

Mr. H. I. Kimball was made Director-General, and Mr. J. W. Ryck- man, editor of the Textile Record, the Secretary. The first President of the convention was Joseph E. Brown. He resigned on account of family affliction, and Gov. Alfred HI. Colquitt was made the President. Mr. Kimball has an uncommon talent for enterprises of this kind, possess- ing energy, inventiveness and administrative faculty. Mr. Ryckman has been the right man in a responsible place. The committee has proven to be a body of extraordinary management. Mr. Kimball visited the North and West, and Hon. Thomas Hardeman the South and West, in the interest of the Exposition, addressing the Boards of Trade of the leading cities, and securing some $200,000 of subscriptions to the enter- prise. The interest in it was general and profound. Business men took hold of it eagerly. Dr. H. V. M. Miller was sent to Europe as agent of the Exposition.
Perhaps never, in the history of such enterprises, has there been any- thing to equal this one in the rapidity and completeness of its execution.

COTTON.
It is an unequaled monument of bold and immense business skill and energy. On the 30th of May, 1881, the contract was signed for the main building, which had been enlarged four-fold beyond the original size to suit the enlarged demand. On the 1st of June, ground was first broken, and in 108 days, to the 5th of October, 1881, when the Exposi- tion was opened, buildings have been erected, furnishing twenty acres of exhibition space, eleven miles in circumference, using eight million feet of lumber, five miles of sewerage pipe and six miles of steam pipe. Beautiful grounds have been created. An hotel for the accommoda- tion of 1,000 guests has been erected at the grounds.
The work done has been simply amazing. Over 2,000 exhibitors have sought space, and hundreds have been refused. Every kind of business is represented. Some exhibitors have expended $35,000 on their displays. The varied exhibition of general industries is complete. In executing the chief idea of the Exposition, the show of cotton, textile machinery, and the hundreds of appliances and processes that have grown out of the great staple all over the world, is something phenomenal. Seed of every kind of cotton grown in the world were obtained by telegraphic order by Mr. S. M. Inman, the Treasurer of the Exposition, and are planted and growing in the same field. There is cotton from India, from Hindoostan, from China, from Japan, from Australia, the North coast of Africa, Brazil, Chili, and the South Sea Islands, the Cape of Good Hope, Mexico, Central America, Bombay, and every other climate in which the cotton plant has ever been grown. Each plant preserves its characteristics admirably, and side by side may be seen cotton with the perfectly red flower growing ten feet high, and the stalks, with perfectly blue flowers, growing less than two feet high. There is the queer Chinese cotton with a pinched, contracted look that marks everything that comes from that country; the Peruvian cotton, with its flowers of Indigo and its small bolls; the Indian cotton, with its tropical appearance, but imperfect fruitage, and all of them with their various marks crowned by a few rows of our own, king of them all. Cognate to this, and a part of the same exhibition are bales and bags, and packages of cotton received from every country, in which cotton is handled, packed, or baled in the manner peculiar to each country. This exhibition of itself is a wonderful one, and shows that while the South may be ahead of all other sections in growing cotton, that there are older, if not wiser people, who know how to pack it better.
The display of cotton machinery is complete and instructive. Every process of manufacture is practically shown, and the aggregate in-

GEORGIA'S GREAT INVENTORS.
ventions of this keen-witted age are grouped together in the benef- icent collision of peaceful rivalry for the benefit of all peoples and countries.
Among the most picturesque demonstrations, are those made by the great railroad systems, of the woods, minerals and agricultural produc- tions of the country on their lines of track. States have made similar displays of their resources. It is impossible to enumerate the extent of this stupendous exhibition. It includes the commerce and manufac- tures of the world. Throngs of people are swarming to the Exposition, giving the supplement of a vast attendance to the supreme achievement. The problem of entertaining thousands of visitors in a city of 40,000 inhabitants, has been a critical one, but it has been nobly solved by hospitably throwing open the homes of the indomitable little metropolis to the inundation of welcome guests.
Reviewing the past of Georgia, impartially estimating her present importance and power, it requires no strain upon the imagination to lay down for her a great future. She seems to have been selected for un- usual achievement. Her history glitters with incidents of moral and intellectual supremacy, some of them valuable and important, and freighted with associations of renown and humanitarian utility.
Georgia was the first and only free and anti-slave colony in America, and continued thus for a number of years, until the superior growth of the slave colonies around her necessitated a change. Her code of laws of 1799 was so wise and symmetrical that it was engrafted upon the hoary and venerable body of English jurisprudence. The first steam- ship that ever crossed the ocean sailed from Savannah, an instrumen- tality that has revolutionized the international commerce of the world. The first female college in the world, the Wesleyan Female College, was established at Macon, Georgia. The Cotton Gin, that omnipotent weapon of human benefit was invented in 1793, by Eli Whitney, near Savannah, on the plantation of Gen. Greene of revolutionary fame. And it is a fateful coincidence that our great International Cotton Ex- position, the first of the world, now progressing in Atlanta, should be on Georgia soil, and the outcome of that wonderful invention of nearly a century ago that here found birth.
The first sewing machine was invented by a Georgian, Rev. F. R. Goulding, author of the "Young Marooners." The archives of the Georgia State Executive Department contain a letter written by James Longstreet, father of A. B. Longstreet, author of "Georgia Scenes," in 1793, to Edward Telfair, Governor of Georgia, asking his help to
653
GEORGIA THE LEADER OF THE CONFEDERACY.
equip the steamboat that he had invented, thus establishing Georgia's claim to the first invention of this benefaction.
The State has witnessed another incalculable contribution to the world's great benefits in the discovery, by Dr. Crawford W. Long, a native of Athens, Ga., of AN.ESTHESIA, in 1842, who thereby takes rank among the benefactors of mankind. Science and humanity have determined that the two greatest boons conferred on mankind were vaccination and Anesthesia. England gave the one and Georgia the other. The portrait of Dr. Long was presented to the State of Georgia by Mr. Stuart, and formally received by the General Assembly, and it now hangs in the Representative Chamber, in the State House in At- lanta, among the historic pictures of our distinguished men.
The four years before the war of 1861, the increase in the taxable wealth of Georgia was 176 millions of dollars, an astounding fact. In the slavery agitation preceding the war, Georgia was the leading instru- mentality, and to Robert Toombs, of this State, is due above all others the responsibility for secession. The declaration of defiance for the South against the North was fulminated by Martin J. Crawford, a Georgian. The first act of war was by the Georgia Governor, Joseph E. Brown, in seizing Fort Pulaski. Georgia's reprisal upon New York through Gov. Brown evoked the attention of the Congresses of both governments. The shaping spirits of the Southern Confederacy were Georgians. Howell Cobb was President of the Convention, Thomas R. R. Cobb was Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Francis S. Bartow was Chairman of the Military Committee, Alexander H. Stephens was Vice President of the new government, and Robert Toombs was premier of the President in the provisional, and the formative period of the per- manent, Confederate governments. Mr. Stephens' great Corner Stone Speech put the world against the South on the slavery issue. Gov. Joseph E Brown made Georgia historic by his eloquent controversies with Mr. Davis and the Confederate administration upon the momentous issue of preserving the integrity of constitutional principle. Confed- erate States Senator, Benjamin H. Hill, became the strong prop of Mr. Davis in the closing years of the war, and another strong Georgian, Gen. A. R. Lawton, the administrator of the most important depart- ment of the Confederate service.
Georgia became the center of field supply, and of manufacture of army stores, as well as the main depository of Federal prisoners. Finally the chief battle ground was transferred to Georgia, and the decisive campaign of the struggle, resulting in the capture of Atlanta,
654
GEORGIA A LEADING STATE OF THE UNION.
Sherman's March to the Sea, the annihilation of one of the twin armies of the Confederacy, and the destruction of the subsistence of the other, brought the war to its end. The first effort at peace was made by Gen. Sherman in this State. The Confederate administration drifted to and went to pieces in Georgia, the last order of the Confederate govern- ment was issued, and Mr. Davis, the President, was captured in Georgia. Georgia sent more troops to the field, lost more soldiers in battle, and sacrificed more property than any other Southern State. And a Georgia lady, Mrs. Mary A. Williams, was the originator of the Decora- tion Day custom, observed by both sections universally in paying honor to the dead of the war.
In the era of Reconstruction Georgia played a more potential part than any of her suffering sisters, undergoing three distinct and different rehabilitations, furnishing the most conspicuous champions for and against that motley experiment of governmental workmanship, fighting its abuses most stubbornly, focalizing the public attention most conspicu- ously, eliciting more of Congressional legislation, and finally regenerating with more sturdy vigor and superb recuperation than any other Confed- erate commonwealth. Since the complete restoration to her own State sovereignty in 1871, just ten years ago, Georgia has, in the liberality of her statesmanship and in material progress, outstripped all of her rivals. She is the first State of the Union in the extent and variety of her mineral and agricultural resources, the second State in the production of cotton and the first in the South in its manufacture. In education, in literature, in journalism Georgia has kept apace with the best progress of the age. In furnishing the railway genius of the South this com- monwealth has had no rivalry, while in the colossal focalization of railroad capital and enterprise in her borders, that will bring a tidal wave of new population and boundless development, Georgia has had the most magnificent possible practical tribute to her unequalable supremacy. The prodigious power of these gigantic instrumentalities of commerce and increased production must give her irresistible capacities for growth and prosperity. Supplement this with the transcendent benefactions of the great Cotton Exposition now progressing, which will introduce this State to the world as the favored Southern home of Cotton, the imperial monarch, and surely no people or country will or can have the basis for a more august future.
But at last the proudest excellence of this commonwealth lies in her political, moral and Christian civilization. Lovers of constitutional government, devoted to a true, fraternal Union, loyal to law and liberty,

wedded to temperance and morality, cherishing the sanctity of home and imbued with the spirit of the genuine religion of the living God, her million and a half of God-loving people at last constitute the real greatness of Georgia. And most striking of all her glories, this State, so potential in severing the Union, is to-day, by her broad-hearted senti- ments, her catholicity of patriotism, her genius for substantial enterprise and her elevated philanthropy, the dominant agency in re-uniting the broken brotherhood of States, in re-cementing the sundered sections of the nation, and in restoring the lost harmony of this mighty Republic.
Thus does the record close in 1881 for GEORGIA.

APPENDIX A.
GEORGIA OFFICERS -
WHO SERVED IN THE CIVIL WAR OF 1861-5 IN THE CONFEDERATE SERVICE, INCLUDING GENERAL AND REGIMENTAL FIELD OFFICERS AND CAPTAINS.
THE following list is admittedly incomplete and painfully imperfect. It was taken from the Confederate war records in the custody of the Federal Government at Washington, D. C., and has been enlarged and corrected as far as possible from the meager documents in the Georgia archives, and such personal information as has been obtainable and authentic. The war department of the Confederacy was most loosely run as far as its records are concerned. Regimental muster-rolls were curiously mingled and confused, very few of the constantly occurring changes in military organizations were noted, and altogether a hap- hazard and inaccurate method of clerical work seems to have prevailed.
It will be found in the following list, faithfully transcribed, that men's names are both wrongly spelled and omitted, and there has been no opportunity to rectify the one or supply the other. Gen. Marcus J. Wright, who is employed to edit the Confederate records, is giving to his important work in the War Archives office under Col. R. N. Scott, an intelligent and faithful industry, and is daily perfecting the Confederate war chronicles. But as his task covers the whole Confederacy, he can devote but a portion of his time to Georgia.
This list of our Georgia officers is given as a beginning, with the hope that in future editions, it may assume something like accuracy and com- pleteness through the voluntary co-operation of the survivors of the Conflict. Those who have been omitted or improperly printed, can, by furnishing the author with the facts, appear as they should hereafter. And it would be well for commanding officers of organizations to com- municate with Gen. Marcus J. Wright, at Washington, D. C., the facts about their commands, in order that the publication of Georgia's service and personelle in the great civil war, may be as complete as possible.

The writer is much indebted to Gen. M. J. Wright, for assistance in preparing this list, and also to Major Sidney Herbert, for valuable aid in making a full roster of Georgia general officers, and for the roster of Georgia West Point officers who entered the Confederate service. Major Herbert is a disinterested and pains-taking collector of valu- able historical information as well as a graceful writer.
