Hon. John Bell.

--This old statesman made a stirring speech at Winchester, Tennessee, a few days ago. The army correspondent of the Savannah Republican thus alludes to it:

‘ He told the people that all had not been lost — that there was no reason to be discouraged, and that if they would be free they must strike now, and strike with all their power. He urged them to turn out en masse, and to drive the invader from their soil. I hear that he took an encouraging view of our affairs, and that his speech had a good effect. This is the man who was held up to the people of the South as untrue to their institutions; and yet all his property has been seized and confiscated by the invaders, and still he is loyal to our cause.
