"I thank thee, Roderick, for the word. It nerves my heart, it steels my sword." It was but a few days ago that the military organ of the United States conceded that the Southern Confederacy could not be subjugated by simple force; that it was upon the overthrow of its "will," of its "moral Strength," that the United States relied for its conquest. If ever there was a time when its "will" was weakened, or its "moral Strength" decayed,--thanks to that Abolition Congress — thanks to Lincoln and Seward's reply to our commissioners — it stands now upon a Gibraltar. Henceforth the most sordid spirit in the whole Confederacy will not dream of reconstruction; the veriest poltroon will be brave.

Will they? Let them co

The resolution met with some opposition on the ground of its exclusiveness, and the resolution was laid upon the table. Mr. Tomlin offered a resolution, which was agreed to instructing the Finance Committee to inquire into the expediency of abolishing the Public Guard of Richmond, and reporting a bill creating a substitute.

m. The galleries were so closely packed that serious fears were entertained that they would give way under their weight and crush all beneath them. It was gratifying to see this immense attendance of a meeting whose object was to hurl back into Lincoln's teeth the insult put upon the Southern people by his answer to the Confederate commissioners sent to confer with him on the subject of a peace between the two countries. Standing in that immense assemblage, and hearing the patriotic expressiotremendous odds against us; but, with the approval of a just Providence, which he conscientiously believed was on our side, and the united resolve of our people, he doubted not that victory would yet crown our labors. In his correspondence with Lincoln, that functionary had always spoken of the United States and the Confederacy as our afflicted country; but in his replies he (the speaker) had never failed to refer to them as separate and distinct governments, and sooner than we should ever be
