Bethel, Manassas, Leesburg, in the first year of the war — the plains of Williamsburg, the bloody panorama of battle-fields around the beleaguered capital, the blaze of successive victories with which Jackson lighted up the Valley of the Shenandoah from Harper's Ferry to Port Republic, Cedar Mountain, Manassas again, the closing and overwhelming discomfiture at Fredericksburg in the second year of the war, and the grand rout, after four days continuous conflict, of Chancellorsville and Marye's Heights, in the present year, followed by the enemy's third expulsion from the Valley — let those memorable fields, with their solemn and truthful voices, tell. During this period, too, the army of Northern Virginia, under its illustrious leader, made two bold and successful incursions in to the enemy's territory; levied contributions upon it; gave battle to his concentrated legions on his own soil, crippling and inflicting heavy losses upon him; and then returned at leisure to resume its

portions of territory have, in some instances, been temporarily and reluctantly abandoned to the enemy, as not justifying the attempt to defend them at the risk of the central and more important portions; but in no case has the heart or grand interior of the territory been yet penetrated. In the Valley of the Mississippi the course of events has been more chequered by alternate good and had fortune. Springfield, Columbus, Shiloh, and even Murfreesboro', were noble successes for us. Fort Donelson, Corinth, New Orleans, recall the remembrance of sad disasters; and to these has been recently added the loss of Vicksburg and Port Hudson. I have no disposition to extenuate the gravity of any of these disasters. But looking at them in their very worst aspect, there is nothing in any or all of them to give rise to a feeling of despondency. The enemy is as far as ever from the great object he had in view — the free and unmolested navigation of the Mississippi for commercial purposes.

d that the enemy's forces were, in number, much greater than ours. This has, undoubtedly, heretofore been the fact. But I am firmly persuaded that, notwithstanding the immense difference in the actual population of the two countries, we shall hence forward have an army in the field at all times fully equal in numbers to theirs; and that surely, is all we need desire. The energies of the South are just beginning to be thoroughly aroused. We already see a proposition in the Legislature of Alabama to extend the limits of the military age below eighteen years to sixteen, and above forty-five to sixty. This was the old Spartan rule, and prevailed a long time in England, until the institution of standing armies, and her insular situation, made her careless with regard to the military organization of the mass of her population. But our circumstances may well justify a recurrence to the ancient rule, so far, at least, as to call out the supplementary classes for local defence. The spir

In every period of the revolutionary contest a large portion of our territory was overrun and occupied by the enemy. In the South, Greene was compelled to refire before Cornwallis, as Washington had done before the Howes in the North. Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, each and all of them, east of the Blue Mountains, were overrun for a time by the armies of the enemy, while all the chief cities in the North and in the South--Boston, Newport, New York, Philadelphia, Richmond, Norfolk, Willmington, Charleston, and Savannah — were all, for a longer or shorter period, in his possession. But if the country was overrun, the hearts of the people were not overawed.--With them and their trusted servants, whether in the

dom and the noble self-devotion of the small but undaunted commonwealths of Greece? If ever a people had apparent cause for despondency, it was the people of Rome when Hannibal with his Carthaginian hosts, after three successive victories on the Ticmo, the Brescia, and Thrasymene, in his triumphal march towards the Capital, almost annihilated the Roman army in a fourth at Cannæ, leaving more than forty thousand Roman citizens dead upon the field, including one of the Consuls in command, many Sena- ton, Ex-Consuls, Pretors, Œdiles and others of the highest rank and consideration. But, amid the consternation of so terrible a calamity, the spirit of the Republic never blanched. When the surviving Consul, whose rashness even had been the cause of the disaster, approached the city with the wreck of his army, the Senate and all ranks of the people, we are told by one of their great historians went out to meet him and thanked him for not having despaired of the Commonwealth.
