(Laugh ter ) Well, ihe'cocj' queuce of all thia was that when the great war came upon us nobody-was re-idy, and we Wvie like a great big terrapin on our b&ck, working our !egB and nnaula to turn over. (Laughter.) There v,as not a pound cf powder manufactured in the Confed.cy Now we turn out several millions pound per annnm enough to blow all the Yank j. -a to tho devil 1 hope Then there was not a cannon cast in the Confederacy. Now our ordnance, from the mountain howitzer to the great Brooke gun that hurls defince to ths iron clads, is un- urpasscd, and we make more rifles than we can us. t 19 snow yoc what has been and can be accoaanllshed. provided we have faith in ourse)vH, I will tell you a li:tle of what this btite has done on her own hock ft hen I came in o the chair I now Occupy and till with so much grace end dignity (a lansh) there were not five hundred suits of cloth'ngto be found iu the Quartermasters Di- p rtment. Now we have sixty thousand suits ot ready made clothing awaiting the needs of our troops. We have thirty thousand blankets, shoei Ac. la fact, our boys have sr many good clothes that I understand they rrad them off for liquorFometimes (laughter.) Will yoa set a limit to our energy al'tei 1 tell you, among a hundred other things, that in the little town of Tarboro', in this State, are made cases of keen, glittering, Burgical instruments, requiring the highest degree of mechanical Ekill in their production. They will compare favorably with the beat specimens of ! European manufacture. Almost every man 1 see here to day is well clothed in tha product of our own looms: and the laJies, God bless their, look in their homespuns pret tier than they ever did. We will soon be commeroially in dependent o; tha whole world. Ye had originally, includ ing the Sfa es we claim, a population of right million whi'e peopla and four million blacks. Now we number not nv'.ra than five million white people. How many troops do ycu suppose Abraham has eent down against us ? Ia April IftJl Lincoln called for stventy-tive thousand men. Une month later he called for sixty-four thommnd. Frcm July to Deoembtf? (tho old fellow began to. get scared) he called for live kundred thousand men. In July 162, he called for three hundred thousand ; is August, 1Su2, for three hun dred thousand; in 18G3, he drafted three hundred thosand, and has a draft now pending for five hundred thousand more ; making in all about two million and thirty nine thousand men he has called for to eend down upon ua al most ha'.f as many soldiers as we have men, women and children in the Confederacy. Tneir locality is about as questionable, if they have all started South, as te passen gers on a train at a smash-up described by a datkiy who was illustrating the difference between a stage-coach and a railway accident : u If de stage tuin over, dar yon is, but it de cars runs eff, wfcar in you V (Laughter.) Where are those immense masses? If we have actually whipped and driven back two million soldiers, there is eEcouragement to Lope wo can drive back all he can possiblr send against n3. Bat if these two milliec troops have never been rais ed, there is encouragement to believe Mr. Lincoln is try ing to ecarc cu fcy making a show of strength that doe not exist, aiul that the Ncrth is just about as tired cl the war f.s wo are. tio the view is encouraging Lorn cither biacdooiiit. But -we know there have been immense Lumbers hurled agiinfit us. Three" hundred thousand troops, armed, equip ed and furnished to the highefat degree that kthe skill, ard , weidvh of the United States could supply ourpass;ng, in this respect, aiy army that ever took the field in Europe cud nt .reeven different commanderB have tried to march frc a Washington City to Richmond, aod over half of the way furnishing wier facilities lor trarsportatioD, and they a: j precisely where they were tsro years sgo. No nearer IMchmond than tucy were at the start. And tha bones ot the Yankocs thit bleach on the plains of Northern Virgin ia, if 1 ilad in a row, would make a McAdam'ted ro -d from Iiicbiaocd to Washington, over which the artillery of the Southern Confederacy could roll between the two cit3s. (Applause) We know that notwithstanding all tha im meuso levies m ide recemVy at the North, Gen. Meade is afraid of Gen. Lee, aud skuiks within his fortifications. If he rrikss no rno.o progress towards llichmocd than he has j for Eome time past, he will not reach that gcsl of Yankee hopc3 Lcforo tw vo o ciOCK on ucomsaay. wny, ienow-c-t z "na. it is not worth while to be scared.

Whtu I was id the om.v. end w . uld rce a Yankee riglr-cnt approaching in the ui.vtDCc, I wou'd estimate the force at about ton thou sard, (laughter,) and when we tojk a prisoner he would laugh at our iassigLidoant littla sijuad, ami say he was un der the impression we weie about a imiiioi: ytou.-.

You kuow that ;n the war of tha Revolu tion we had greater difficulties to eu-'otiuter than now bc net is. It is a notable fact that we were wi ipoed ia three fourths of the battl-m ofthe Bevolation. 1 he "enemy took the city of Char;fi.-n, marched throagh Bonth Catolfna cnving iiariun and burater mto the sw.imps, came iuto North Carolina, driving car forces back into tin wild 1 at-.e of ViriiuiA. and then returned to WilmiLgton, having trav erst d'wo States v.-it!; the air of a Conqueror. How far have tf e Y ankees peneirtted these two States '( Our cur rency is In au nuNettled condition at twenty tor one, but that of our Lev.dutiouary rorefathers was eight huodred and one. - The enemy held every seaboard city, and indeed almost every city in the interior. Out armies were repeat edly c-Attered. 'I he people were whipped, but they would uot blieve it, and iu this faith, thrt ugh sev . n long years ol bio. d snd tutfering, they finally prevailed. How stauds the case with us. The enemy has sent uu a hebt alter boat and has not yet t-:ken Richmond, !!!'!' s ton, Wilmingtea, Mobile; none of our seaboard cities ex cept No. to'k, New Orh&uM aud Galveston, and tin lutter he was glad enough ti l.-t.ve. Instead of fating whipped by an invading army iu th -ee-f. ui tlia of tha baUl-s fought, as were onr ancestors, we h..ve whipped an invading aimy In tour-fifths of onr ergigemcnts. There is a rule iu'miitary science tiiat requires aa inva ding aimy to depesit a-entein proj,or:ivn of its strength In the line of march to protect in rear. Now cotbider the f tct that they have never penetrated fifiy rode into he in terior of onr territory, beyond the point whete their cun boars could mass troops and protect their rear. Let them try to get from Chattanooga to Atlanta. By tife tbue they 1 each thero they will have dropped enough of their strength along the line of march to protect vheir base of supplies, and being theu in no unreasonable disproportion to Gener al Johnston's army, he will fall npon them and thrash them litie dogs. (Applause.) It ia true we cannot pretend to cope wiuh them on the water, for we have not vet got a navy, but it fortunately happens tbatthe most of this coun try Is composed of good dry ground. We have sever been n-tieh acquainted with water affairs, indeed, I believe most of our people prefer whiskey. (Laughter.) The trans-Mississippi has been separated from n. Well, the people over tkere are lucky, lor the supply of bad generals has been cut oH, and they flourish a little better on this account than wed?. A f t tr three years war and at an expense ot fern thousand mill ion dollars, tho en emy has over-run the greater part of Tennessee, a poition of Mississippi and of Alabama, but he has still live hundred thousand square miles to over-mil on this side of the Mis sissippi, when, if we are only determined as other people have teen in similar trials, his work wjll have just begun. Why, gentlemen, iu the little country of Holland, not ranch bi;ger than this county, dng as it were out of the boticm of the s?a, and inhabited by a heavy, plodding popu ution, Phillip tho second ot Spain, who was styled, in the lordly language cf the age, the " dominator cf three worlds'," usslsted by the finest army Europe ever saw, and commanded by the greatest capteia of the age, undertook to impose the Inquisition, and, to his great astonishment, it resisted I im. Their cities were burned to ashes, their fields laid waste, the-iii&es cut and the sea let in upon their country, and womeu and ebildreu drowned in tneir houses; siatvation stared them full ia the face, and, in some instances, they boiled and ate gra3scut frcm between the tomb-stones f the dead; and they fought and bled how long do ycuBuppcse V Three years, as we have 'I Seven years, as onr ancestors did? they lought Philip the Second and his grand armies, end those of his successors, for eighty years, and their miserable little country, which historians denominated outcast by men and gcdj, finally triumphed, preserved its liberties and Bf eared a perma nent peace, despite the eflorts of a tyrant who held mil lions ot men ia subjection. Shall we ever allow ourselves to be pot to shame by the valor of thos3 who r.re some times termed, in net very elegant language, "the d d Dutch," when we are possessed of reeaurcoa of which they never dreamed ? There was Scotland, who resisted the attempt of the English to snbjngate her for four hundred years, and finally overcame her enemies, and forced them to aicept her king, James the VI, as James tha I of England. There was the littte dutchy of Prussia, hardly big enough for Frederick the Great fb try one of hia lot?g-ranged guas in, without shooting over into some neighboring territory. Well, this little country fought the combined armies of five of the greatest powers in Europe, representing a popula tion of one hundred million, whilst Prussia ka-i a popula tion of only five million, for the space of seven yet 3, and finally came out with her nationality and liberties unim paired, and richer than when she went into the war, thoHgb during the bloody etri. e hsr Capitol had been taken and re- taken half a dozen times, and the country was often one scena of "he wildest desolation. Shall we not persist in cur st: uggle for indepei louce, and add aitcthci bright pae to the history of the tiiumphs of a tree people against Despotism ? la concluding, fellow-citizens, allow me to rerairid you of a text of Sacred Scripture, which I think would ruit your case. Yoa know when Saint Paul went to the city of Ephesuj and announced the true God, be raised q lite a row with Demetrius and the rest of the artists in the place, who had been accustomed to make their living by manufactu'--icg shrines for the Goddess Diana ; and, ihey were about to massacre Saint Paul for his interference with their roti.a. At the height of the excitement which wa? about to break out into actual hostilities, there appeared among them a teHow, tt3 town cletk, whose name is not given, (and 1 re gret the omission, for 1 think he was the tmartest uuiufcpir cd man mentioned in Scripture,) who got npoa tho cjurt house steps or " the stump " and epoke to the people What 'j i'o any of you recollect the passage '( lie advised tbe people "to do nolhinj rash."
