Is it not a shame that men who have sacrificed all in our defence should not be reinforced by all the means in our power? Is it any time now for antiquated patriotism to argue a refusal to send them aid, be it white or black? [A voice--" Put in the niggers"-- and cheers.] I will now call your attention to some figures, which I wish you to seriously ponder. In 1860, the South had 1,664,000 arms-bearing men. How many men have the Yankees sent against us? In 1861, 654,000; in 1862, 740,000; in 1863, 700,000; in 1864, they called out 1,500,000. Here you have the figures that they brought out 3,000,000 men, against 1,664,000 Confederates, who lived at the beginning of the war to draw the sword in their country's service.-- Our resources of white population have greatly diminished; but you had 850,000 black men of the same ages; and could Divine prophecy h

Let me point you back to 1862, when the city of New Orleans fell under the domination of the enemy. As Farragut's fleet ascended the river, and rounded the crescent approaching the city, what res, which I wish you to seriously ponder. In 1860, the South had 1,664,000 arms-bearing men.

[Applause.] Mr. Benjamin read an extract from the New York Post. published in 1862, to show the devilish malignity of our enemies. The article showed that, under the institution of slavery, the number of negroes had increased from 700,000 to 4,0

ph lines, went like a shock from the centre to the circumference, and every man sprung to his feet, vowing to do or die rather than submit. [Cheers.] The fires of 1861 I feel burning brightly in my heart. The fires of aroused patriotism will consume a good deal of rubbish which has gathered since the commencement of the war, andntion to some figures, which I wish you to seriously ponder. In 1860, the South had 1,664,000 arms-bearing men. How many men have the Yankees sent against us? In 1861, 654,000; in 1862, 740,000; in 1863, 700,000; in 1864, they called out 1,500,000. Here you have the figures that they brought out 3,000,000 men, against 1,664,000nd memories of home, but were fired with a stern resolve not to return until this fight was fought to the end. Louisiana stood at this hour as firm and erect as in 1861, when the first shot was fired at Sumter. There was no proposition for peace there; the war could not cease so long as the foot of the foe pressed their soil.

el may be found in the Dutch Republic; but they had the sea open to them and the French and English as allies. Our forefathers had the French to aid them. We stand alone, presenting the spectacle of a brave people, contesting, foot by foot, with double their numbers; excluded, commercially and sentimentally, from the world. With our success we shall establish a system of government that shall challenge the respect of the world. We shall solve the problem of the extension of the Anglo-Saxon race to the country south of us, and show that the white and the black races may be extended together. Then shall the Confederate soldier return from the field, his sword dripping, and his brow crowned with laurels, a hero, whom after ages will venerate, and who will be an example to generations to come. Are not these considerations to nerve every man to do his duty — to unite every heart and hand in the country? I will not hold out the delusive hope that the struggle shall be easy or the

, it would require the energy of the House of Representatives to get through with this big job. In the meantime, north of the Potomac the drama was approaching the fifth act. There they said the Union must be preserved, but slavery must be abolished. The rascally Democrats in the United States House of Representatives were refractory, and would not give their votes to make the two-thirds necessary to amend the Constitution so as to abolish it. The Republicans pressed them on all sides. Horace Greeley was seen hobbling to and fro in Congress performing his mysterious role.--After awhile, the venerable Blair appeared with wings on his shoulders. Cox and Brooks, anti-war Democrats, asked for time to see if the rebels would not submit to terms. The House, at last, consented to give time. Instantly Blair, the superannuated Mercury, spread his wings, and lo ! here he is in the Confederate capital. Courtesies are extended to him, and at length our President consented to send three o

God, in my opinion, never made a race of which Stonewall Jackson is a type and President Davis the representative man [great cheering], and from which sprung that great and good old chieftain, Robert E. Lee [prolonged cheering], to be destroyed, though it were thrown into the lion's den, or into a furnace seven times heated. It cannot be done. They talk about subjugating the South. They who believe that the mind and heart can be subjugated byr such circumstances, would remain here because he wished, and was ready, to submit therefore he wanted no such talk. We all looked to Virginia not only as the mother of statement, but of warriors [cheers]; the mother of that grand old hero, Robert E. Lee [protracted cheering], when we were all willing to follow wherever he might lead. Remarks of Senator Henry. Senator Henry, of Tennessee, made short address: He said the people had come to a point where more than ever, it was nec

s. Speech of Mr. Hugh W. Sheffey. Mr. Hugh W. Sheffey (Speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates) was then introduced to the audience. He said: Mr. Chairman, I have been requested to present to you, and this vast assemblage of American freemen, a preamble and resolutions prepared by others, which I am sure will meeat, in the words of our President, we are to lock shields, and shoulder to shoulder go into the battle for victory or death. [Cheers.] The issue of which you, Mr. Chairman, have spoken has been fairly and frankly made. I do not say it was frankly intended — move of that after awhile — but it has been made, and can be neither she done, sir. Even from the hand of a true conqueror the manhood of the South would pluck power, and, in a short time, the vanquished would rule the conqueror.

The objects of the meeting were to adopt resolutions expressive of the feelings of the people of Virginia, excited by the gross insult put upon us by Lincoln in his late meeting with our. commissioners at Fortress Monroe, and to take counsel as to our future. At a few minutes past 12 o'clock, Mr. R. M. T. Hunter, President of the meeting, attended by Mr. J. P. Benjamin, Secretary of State; Mr. Joseph Mayo, Mayor of Richmond; Captain Semmes, Confederate States Navy; the Hon. Messrs. Semmes, Henry, Maxwell, and others, and the Vice-Presidents of the meeting, entered the building. As they ascended the stand, the Armory Band, which was in attendance, played the Marseilles Hymn. At the conclusion of the air, Mr. Hunter, the President, requested that no calls might be made for speakers, as their names would be duly announced in the order in which they were to address the meeting.
