Serenade.
--Tuesday night
Gen. Waul, of
Texas, and
Gen. John B. Clarke,
Confederate States Senator from
Missouri, were serenaded at their stopping place, the
Spotswood Hotel, by
Smith's brass baud.
Both of these gentlemen responded in short speeches, in the course of which much hopefulness was expressed for a speedy and satisfactory settlement of our difficulties.
Gen. Clarke was particularly severe in his strictures upon the extortioners and speculators in the necessaries of life, and said he had no doubt but that
the people in their majesty would demand of the proper tribunals, Congress and the State Legislature, some remedy against the desperate and disloyal recklessness which now seems to be so prevalent in our midst.
A large crowd was present to hear these distinguished gentlemen, and every one left the scene at the conclusion of the addresses highly gratified
