A grand meeting in New Orleans on the 25th of April in behalf of the Southern Historical Society. [We make up from the New Orleans papers the following full report of the grand meeting which was held in New Orleans on the 25th of April in behalf of the Society, and for the brilliant success of which we owe hearty thanks to all concerned.] The call made upon the people of New Orleans by the Southern Historical Society was nobly responded to by the large and brilliant audience which assem25th of April in behalf of the Society, and for the brilliant success of which we owe hearty thanks to all concerned.] The call made upon the people of New Orleans by the Southern Historical Society was nobly responded to by the large and brilliant audience which assembled at the French Opera House. Every seat in the parquette, every box and seat in the second tier were filled and the secondes and amphithreatre were crowded so that standing room was in anxious demand. The lobby on both sides was filled with gentlemen, peeping over each other's shoulders and listening with avidity and on tiptoe to the speakers. So prompt were the people to assemble at the appointed hour that when 8 o'clock struck the house was fall and ready to greet the distinguished sp

Editorial paragraphs. Gen. Geo. D. Johnston, our indefatigable General Agent, is now following up in New Orleans the interest excited by the great meeting of the 25th of April, and is having marked success in enrolling new names and re-enlisting old friends. From New Orleans he expects to go to Texas, and we trust that he will meet with a cordial welcome and active help in that great State. An endowment fund, which can be permanently invested and only the income used for the current wants of the Society, is a long-felt need of our work. In the meeting at New Orleans General Johnston proposed that at least $50,000 be raised for this purpose. Dr. Palmer eloquently endorsed the proposition, and it seemed to meet general favor. Let the scheme be pushed to practical results. Where is the friend who will give us at once $10,000, or $5,000, or less? Where are those who will contribute smaller sums? Do not wait to be specially called on, but let us hear from you at once.

The men who wore the gray. A new poem by Father Ryan. [The following exquisite poem was prepared to be read at the meeting in behalf of the Southern Historical Society, in New Orleans, April 25th. From some cause it failed to reach the committee in time, and was not read. But we are sure that our readers will thank us for giving it here, and will join us in tendering Father Ryan the warm gratitude of true Confederates everywhere for adding this gem to the many others with which he has enriched our Southern literature, and embalmed the precious memories of the land and cause we love so well.] Tell it as you may, It never can be told; Sing it as you will, It never can be sung:-- The story of the glory Of the men who wore the gray In their graves, so still; The story of the living, Unforgiven yet forgiving, The victims still of hate, Who have forever clung, With a love that will not die, To the memories of our Past, Who are patient and who wait, True and faithful to the last,-- Fo
