business was suspended in Richmond; at high noon processions were formed to the different places of meeting; and no less than twenty different orators, composed of the most effective speakers in Congress and the Cabinet, and the most eloquent divines of Richmond, took their stands in the halls of legislation, in the churches and the theatres, and swelled the eloquence of this last and grand appeal to the people and armies of the South. Two of the returned commissioners, Messrs. Hunter and Campbell, were among the orators of the day. Mr. Stephens had been urged to speak; but he had a demagogue's instinct of danger in the matter; it was an awkward occasion in which he might say too much or too little; and so he plead ill-health, and escaped to Georgia. It was an extraordinary day in Richmond; vast crowds huddled around the stands of the speakers or lined the streets; and the air was vocal with the efforts of the orator and the responses of his audience. It appeared indeed that the bl

and a remnant of the Thirty-fourth fighting under Colonel Brantly. The loss was very heavy. Four companies of the Twenty-fourth, on picket under command of Lieut.-Col. McKelvaine, were killed, wounded or captured; the Thirtieth lost 130, and the others similar numbers. The brigade was about 1,200 strong, and lost 100 killed and wounded, and 845 captured. The remnant of the brigade served with credit next day on Missionary Ridge, losing 28, among them General Walthall, severely, and Adjutant Campbell, of the Twenty-ninth, mortally wounded. In the battle of Missionary Ridge Lowrey's brigade and Swett's artillery battalion shared the creditable work where Cleburne, fighting all day, bloodily repulsed the enemy. Swett's battery was hotly engaged the whole day and lost some noble officers and men. But on Taylor's Ridge, near Ringgold, where Cleburne made his famous stand, saving the army and winning the thanks of Congress, Lowrey's Thirty-second and Forty-fifth Mississippi, under

Evacuation Echoes. Assistant-Secretary of war Campbell's interview with Mr. Lincoln. The following letter, though it has been published several times before, will be found interesting: Richmond, Va., April 7, 1865. General Joseph R. Anderson and Others, Committee, etc.: Gentlemen—I have had, since the evacuation of Richmond, two conversations with Mr. Lincoln, President of the United States. My object was to secure for the citizens of Richmond, and the inhabitants of the State of Virginia, who had come under the military authority of the United States, as much gentleness and forbearance as could be possibly extended. The conversation had relation to the establishment of a government for Virginia, the requirement of oaths of allegiance from the citizens, and the terms of settlement with the United States, with the concurrence and sanction of General Weitzell. He assented to the application not to require oaths of allegiance from the citizens. He stated that he woul

He wished to know something of the details.

show, reached the Confederate War Department, where it was read by Colonel R. H. Chilton, who forwarded it to Judge J. A. Campbell, Assistant Secretary of War. Campbell was much impressed by the contents of the report, and is said to have declared to Chilton that he intended to see President Davis about the matter. The report then went to the Secretary of War, by whom it should have been forwarded to Davis. It was not forwarded, however, and Campbell did not carry out his intention of seeing Mr. Davis. The prisoners were soon moved, but they would probably have been moved earlier had Davis seen the Chandler report.

Horace Greely, dated April 26th, 1865, and letter relate to certain interviews between Judge Campbell and President A. Lincoln, which took place in Ruested by them to deliver them to the family of Judge Campbell, residing in this city. I submitted them to the daughter of Judge Campbell, Mrs. V. D.

Abingdon, Va., May 20, 1861. This section of the country has been visited with a fine "growing rain." Everything looks in a flourishing condition. The wheat looks well, it is said, from York river to the Tennessee line; it is safe, unless hail destroys it. A few days since, it being the day for Regimental muster here, Col. J. A. Campbell and three of the candidates for the Legislature-- C. S. Bekem, Esq., D. C. Dunn, Esq., and Dr. A. R. Preston--addressed the people.--Each gentleman spoke in favor of the Ordinance of Secession, and called upon the people to vote for it to a man. Mr. Bekem and Dr. Preston had been Union men as long as they could remain so honorably, but after Lincoln issued his war proclamation, they were for secession. Judge Fulton, of the Wytheville District, arrived here to hold a special term for Judge Fulkerson, for the purpose of trying Mr. Duncan, who about a year ago killed Mr. G. W. Raine, his father-in-law. As neither side were ready, b
