ed it, God's will have been accomplished. The argument was now exhausted. Be prepared; stand to your arms; defend your wives and firesides. He alluded to the momentous consequences of the issue involved. Rather than be conquered, let every second man rally to drive back the invader. The conflict may be terrible, but the victory will be ours. Virginians, said he, you fight for the preservation of your sacred rights — the land of Patrick Henry--to keep from desecration the tomb of Washington, the graves of Madison, Jefferson, and all you hold most dear. Three cheers were given for Mr. Stephens, and three for Jefferson Davis. The citizens repaired to the Spotswood House to serenade Col. Lee. Mayor Mayo appeared, and regretted that gentleman's absence; but having been appointed General of all the land forces of Virginia, he was then consulting with the Executive as to the proper measures to be pursued. The Hon. Thos. S. Flournoy and others afterwards addressed the crowd.

there. A few days will suffice to enlist the sympathy of the Maryland troops on the side of the Northern Government, because special care will be taken by Winter Davis, that the enemies of the South shall be enrolled at Washington.--With the city of Washington thus secured, the District of Columbia will become the base of operatiimore, by the capture, at once, of Washington. This is the hope, and this is the expectation. It can be done. But now is the time to do it, before Hicks, Winter Davis and Gen. Scott can divert the Baltimore movement into an anti-Southern channel. By taking Washington, we are complete masters of the position. It secures Mararch to the relief of Baltimore. Our friends there are perhaps this day fighting with their hands against Lincoln's armed hosts or the mercenaries of Henry Winter Davis. The Southern men of Baltimore have literally thrown their unarmed bodies before the sword bayonets of the abolition troops, to save Virginia. They themselves ha

admire the bravery and gallantry that have characterized their whole conduct; they are eager to embrace them as brethren of one flesh and blood, as patriots of a common country, as soldiers of a common cause and a common flag. Why does President Davis tarry at Montgomery? Why has he delayed to make the movement for which his heart pants? Why are his soldiers lingering in the South, and are they not this day threatening Scott and Lincoln at Washington? It is because he knows not the posore Pawnee alarms or Navy-Yard burnings. Virginia must cease at once to be a border State, and become a State of the Confederacy. She is Southern in every instinct of her nature and every drop of her blood. She has no antipathies for her sisters of the gulf. She abhors and despises the thought of a border isolation. She will receive President Davis with salutes, illuminations and bonfires, and march with him to Washington, to New York, or the North Pole, if need be — as a Southern State.

e, and was buried here. Thus much by way of explanation, to those who are not acquainted with the facts: It is due to Mr. G. to say, that the Navy of the late United States never had an officer of higher character, or a more determined spirit. He is a man — every inch of him. True to his State, true to his friends, true to his word, true to himself; the very embodiment of truth, honor, and reliability. It hardly becomes a warm personal friend to speak in such terms of him, and we know that he himself will shrink from the encomium.--But we do not feel disposed to stand by and see him slandered by such a base dog as Horace Greeley. He has gone to offer his services to the Confederate States, and we can assure President Davis, that whatever command he may give him, he will be cure to do honor to it; for all accounts concur in representing him as a most accomplished seaman, as well as a most intrepid and intelligent officer. There is no man of his rank who has seen more service.
