of a reconstruction of the old Union, and as this rumor is not only injurious to myself, but may be, perhaps, hurtful to the country, I take this occasion to say that it is entirely erroneous. There is, perhaps, no person in the Confederacy to whose feelings and interests such an event would be more repugnant than to mine. I have always held that we ought to maintain the struggle for independence so long as there is hope of success. The General-in-Chief and the President of the Confederate States, as the highest military authorities, are best able to understand our resources and prospects. Whilst they have hope in the contest, it seems to me that we should do all in our power to strengthen their hands. But, after all, it is in a sense of the justice of their cause that the hearts of our people should be confirmed, and it is to the Chief Ruler of the Universe that they should look for aid in the mighty struggle in which they are engaged.

[Applause.] They lack one vote of doing that, and I wish I could send my vote over the river, so that I might cast it in favor of allowing the negro to fight. [Applause.] But they cannot fight and work both. We must now see the bottom of the enemy's resources. They will stand out as long as they can; and if the negro will fight for them, they must allow him to fight.--They have drawn upon their last branch of resources. [Applause.] And we can now see the bottom. [Applause.] I am glad to see the end so near at hand. [Applause.] Miscellaneous. Gold was weak and excited on the 17th, opening at 167, and closing at 163.

t of transportation." All the farm-houses from Savannah to Columbia from which the inhabitants had fled were burned. This seems to have been peculiarly joyous to the correspondent, who, in a gush of delight, says: Think of this black swath extending from Barnwell to the coast, and figure upon the value of Southeastern South Carolina at the present day. Even the negroes were weary — afraid, in some instances, to trust themselves among the men who made this fearful work on the country. White table-cloths were suspended from windows, with "Have mercy on me!" for a legend; and the fiery spirit of South Carolina was tamed effectually. The entrance to Columbia is described as a grand ovation to the "old flag," which was handsomely repaid by the burning of the town. The fate of Winnsboro', South Carolina, the next town entered, is thus described: General Slocum double-quicked the advance of his column into the village of Winnsboro'to save the town from the torch of his fo
