s foolish about the girls as if he was a widower. Our pretty girl from Montgomery was there, too, but I did not learn her name, and a poor little Mrs. Smith from somewhere, with a sick, puny baby that everybody felt sorry for. Mrs. Howell and Mrs. Wardlaw, mother and sister of Mrs. Jefferson Davis, were also among the unfortunates stranded at that awful Milledgeville Hotel. Mrs. Howell was a stout old lady with a handsome, but rather determined face, and pretty, old-fashioned gray curls fallinhen we met in the parlor, she lost no time in letting us all know that she was the president's mother-inlaw, and then went on to pay her compliments to everything and everybody opposed to Jeff Davis, Gov. Brown coming in for the lion's share. Mrs. Wardlaw, her daughter, had a good voice, and her sweet singing helped to make the time pass a little less tediously, but there her individuality seemed to end. Capt. Thomas, a young officer traveling with them, was charming; I don't know how we would

I have a dim remembrance of a way being made for us through a great crowd all round the house, and of going with Mrs. Wardlaw up into a dressing-room where I met and shook hands with many friendly people. Then we passed into a gallery, where a Mrs. Wardlaw up into a dressing-room where I met and shook hands with many friendly people. Then we passed into a gallery, where a seat was reserved for our party, directly in front of the audience. Our friend Bailie Paton presided. Mrs. Wardlaw and I sat together, and around us many friends, chiefly ministers of the different churches, the ladies and gentlemen of the Glasgow Mrs. Wardlaw and I sat together, and around us many friends, chiefly ministers of the different churches, the ladies and gentlemen of the Glasgow Anti-Slavery Society and others. I told you it was a tea-party; but the arrangements were altogether different from any I had ever seen. There were narrow tables stretched up and down the whole extent of the great hall, and every person had an app

ery American Abolitionist as the scene of your triumphant refutation and stern rebuke of Breckinridge. I do not think any of you can conceive the feelings with which an American treads such scenes. You cannot realize the debt of gratitude he feels to be due, and is eager to pay to those who have spoken in behalf of humanity, and whose voices have come to him across the water. The vale of Leven, Exeter Hall, Glasgow, and Birmingham are consecrated spots,--the land of Scoble and Sturge, of Wardlaw and Buxton, of Clarkson and O'Connell, is hallowed ground to us. Would I could be with you, to thank the English Abolitionists, in the slave's name, for the great experiment they have tried in behalf of humanity; for proving in the face of the world the safety and expediency of immediate emancipation; for writing out the demonstration of the problem as if with letters of light on the blue vault of heaven; to thank them, too, for the fidelity with which they have rebuked the apathy, and

, of Edgefield, South Carolina. As chief of artillery, he had directed its operations with conspicuous skill and coolness, and he frequently mounted the parapet during the assault to encourage the infantry. He fell pierced through the right lung with a Minie ball, and died by my side with his hand clasped in mine. To me he gave his dying message to his wife, and long afterwards I found an opportunity to discharge this sad duty in person. Mrs. Simkins was the accomplished daughter of Judge Wardlaw, of South Carolina, and not long since she joined her heroic husband in rest eternal beyond the stars. The limit of this address would be far exceeded to give any account of the operations which for forty-eight days were incessantly prosecuted for the reduction of this indomitable battery. Suffice it to say, that it was never reduced by artillery or captured by assault, and was finally evacuated on the night of the 6th of September, 1863, after the Federals, resorting to the science of

You have been welcomed by the guns of the Marion Artillery; guns which are as ready to defend the rights of the State as they are ready to salute you as the representative of the Convention. The corps will escort you to your residence. General, take my arm. The battalion then shouldered arms and saw the General seated in a carriage, and, with the artillery, escorted him to the Mills House, accompanied in a carriage by Judge Wardlaw. After the soldiers had formed into line in front of the hotel, Gen. Jamison got out of the carriage, and they presented arms. The General then uncovered his head and turned and said: "Maj. Stevens.--Allow me, in the name of the Convention, to return you my profound acknowledgments for the honor you have conferred upon me and it in this escort.--You will at once perceive the propriety of my saying no more than this — that in coming to your ancient and honored city, the Conven

ion with the Union. The Convention refused to use the address until it is finally adopted, and it was made the special order of the day for Saturday: Judge Wardlaw made a report, by ordinance, amending the Constitution of the State. After some other unimportant business, the Convention went into secret session, exclun the public journals, was carried, only three nays opposing it. The report was made the special order for to-morrow at 1 o'clock by a unanimous vote. Mr. Wardlaw from the committee to prepare the form of oaths of office, reported the 4th article of the South Carolina Constitution, amended as follows: All persons wh, and will to the best of my ability discharge the duties of the office, and preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of this State, so help me God." Mr. Wardlaw moved the adoption of the amendment, and a debate followed on inserting "high" before the word office, and omitting the words " of this State" at the end.
