He pledged the cor dial support of the South to whatever efforts the patriots of these down-trodden and tukju- gated States might make to disenthral thorn selvas from the galling yoke of Llneolnism.— Said he; “We will drive out the Black Repub licans from Southern •oil." Maryland shall have our aid* Missouri, now trembling in the scale under the iron heal ef oppression and tyr anny, shall have eur support and tha invaders driven from her soil. We will taka all tha ferts in tha Indian Territory and throughout tha West, and wa shall see star after star added to the flag of our Confederacy. Let Arkansas do this work. Sho will perform her whole duty in the Weet, and tha anemias on the frontier will feel her power. The conteet for liberty is upon us. The ques tion is, life and happiness, or chains, slavery and death. Is any man afraid of tha issue ?— Not a single man—not even a woman. I have a wife at home who ean taka care of three men who are afraid. [Enthusiastic cheering.] The women alone can fight the battles of this con flict and either conquer or give up the ghost. Our very children will rush to our defense and die before they will surrender We have taken the germ of liberty from the unfruitful soil of the North and have trans planted it in the land of our own sunny South. The soil and climate are congenial. It will be enriched by Southern blood, and thus nurtur ed, it will grow up in strength, beauty and per fection such es earth has never before seen. I talk to Georgians—the people of the Old Empire State. How my heart swelled with thankfulness and rejoining, when I heard of the secession of noble old Qeorgia I We wait ed long and with intense anxiety for your no tion—for we felt that on you depended the fate of the revolution so bravely begun by South Carolina* We, in Arkansas, have a strong feel ing of attachment to Georgia. You and wo are the sons of the Huguenots and Cavaliers—the noblest raee that ever set their foot on Ameri can soil. We have no efllaity with the slimy, hypooritical, bigoted end fanatical rsee that landed at Plymouth Rock. Arkansas is, in part, Georgia rejuvenated. You have a state*ruan among you, of whom you and tha whole South ia justly proud, who is now side by tide with our gallant President, Jeff Davie. You know that I allude to your noble and true-hearted Stephens. (Vociferous eheers] When South Carolina was tecediog, and we out in Arkansas were trying to rally our people up to the point of resistance, we were everywhere met with the inquiry, “Where does Stephens stand ?” and U wee a question we did not know how to answer. The little boys would ask this question of their fathers anxiously, and ft was discussed between man and man wherever they met. Wherever we went, we foaod boys named ElMck Stephens, and they esteem their name as proudly as ever a Roman General bore the palms ef victory.— All over the State our people have even named tbeirgirla after him, whet they bad no hoys to confer tho honor upon. [Cheers.] Rut when we learned that he had forsaken the old Gov ernment, a mountain load of difficulties was removed from our path. All the little Elliek Stephenses and tbeir fathers and motherl and all tbs friends hi hsd in our State were at ones secessionieta, and we had so more trouble on that snore. But why should I talk to Georgians of their own statesmhb and the greatness of their flute? A hah) of glory encircles her brow, aid tho name and position of the Empire Stele is sought to bo known and as much respected as that of any people on earth. I did hope Ihre revolution would bspsacefril. It has been the most remarkable one so far that history has ever recorded. A few months ago, an earthquake sheok the political world. The result of this eublime phenomenal was that a Southern star shone out resplendent on the political firmament, and since then star alter star has appeared Sad taken position, until a gloriqus|y brilliaut constellation bu been formed which now adorn* tbs earth, and whoa# light through all ages will gmdo the feet of the oppressed he the Temple ef Liberty. So far, this revolution has been bloodless, but not peaceable, and now war is upon na.

Arkansas wafted for Thnftef- Off. It grieved me much when I saw the good oM volunteer 8Ute—may native State—which Hove, decide to remain in tbe Union aa tbe did last winter. But when the reftwakened thunders of Fort Moultrie reverberated through tho South, it was than that eaeh Southern man was aroused like a lion to take vengeance on a treacherous foe. It waked up Arkansas, Ten nessee and North Carolina to a proper eeneeof their true oondition, and they have castofl the yoke that they had concluded to wear a little longer. Old North Carolina bad gone to sleep, •bo did not know that Virginia had seceded; but when she did awake, she was like a terra pin with Are on ite back ; she threw the dirt in every direction. [Chesrs and laughter.] We, in Arkansas, are resolved tostand by our cause to the end. I raised a regiment, and went to Montgomery and offered it to Presi dent Davis. He told me he did not need us. I told him he must take us any how. We want to be in the fight, and have a name and a plsee in the future history of this revolu tion. I wanted to be Colonel of the Regiment, or Lieutenant Colonol, or Captain, or Sergeant, or a high private—in short, to be off in some capacity, for I was determined to go and hurt somebody. [Immensecheerirg and laughter.] Arkansas is a unit. One old man in his do tage in our Convention, voted against our Se cession. He pretended to be a friend of the Booth, but was afraid Ssoession would injure our cause! He is a poor old weak minded man. Had he been a young man, our people would have hung him. I can tell you how we did a whining Yankee out West a few days, ago. He got to making too free use of incendiary language. Our boys took him in hand. They carried him where a convenient and friendly limb protruded from the body of a sturdy oak. They fastened one end of the rope to tbe limb, and the other around bis neck and elevated him. One more word. It was thought by some at the North that the Dutch and the Irish and all the foreign element amorg us would ad here to the old government and fight against us. So thought Seward and Lincoln a few months ago. It is an infernal villainous lie. There is not a man in all Arkansas who, tho’ from being a foreigner, can't even say “ Lin coln,” nevertheless, can euu him. [Enthusi asts cheers.] Some time ago I received a let ter from Lincoln inviting me a to take toy seat in his Congress at Washington, on the 4th of July, and I want a lot of you brave Georgians to go with me—not to take a seat in bis aboli- lionized Congress, but to see him run from there in disguise, and to help raise the Confed erate flag over the dome of the ancient Capi tol. Rloquent Speech of Hon. Howell Cobb. On Wednesday evening the train from La- Grange brought Gov. Cobb, on his way home from Montgomery. He went to tbe Atlanta Hotel and took supper. It was quickly ascer tained that he was here, and a very great number of our citizens gathered in front of tbe Hotel—filling up she entire space out to tbe railroad track ; and the crowd gathered as far on either side as the front of the Hotel could be After he had partaken of his repast, Mr. Cobb, in response to tbe calls of tbe crowd, came out upon the steps of tbe Hotel and ad dressed them as follows: Mr Fbibbds: I wish I bad something to say to compensate you for assembling on this oc casion. I believe you will bear me witness that I have never failed in Atlanta to respond when called on by my friends. The only ex- cueeleould now render would be that I have nothing to eay. Though, I suppose you want to know some thing of what has taken place at Montgomery. We have discharged all our dutiea— made all tbe arrangements necessary for our protection, and have adjourned to meet in Richmond on the 20th of July next. If you wish to know why the Government was removed to Richmond, I ean say.eircumstauoee have arisen that have rendered it proper. We have received tbe Old Dominion into our Confederacy. Her soil will perhaps be the battle ground of this struggle. Her enemies are gathered around her to force Into subjection to their foul diotates. We frit it our duty to be at the Beat o! War. We wanted to let Virginia know that whatever threats or dangers were presented to her, filled our hearts with sympathy for her, which we were willing to exhibit, to show that there was let a man in the Confederacy who was afraid to be at hie poet on Virginia soil. We also wanted to be near our brave boys, so that when we threw off the badge of Legislators, we might take up arm* and share with them the fortunes of war. We frit the cause of Virginia to be the eause of us all. If she falls, we shall all fall; and we were willing to be at the spot to be among the first victims. We were ready to say to Lincoln, when he attempts to put his foot on Virginia's soil, “Thai far shall thos cornu aad no farther.” [Cheers.] What more can I say to you? One other Jt^log I will say; it is my duty, and I dis charge it. Our Wave man from all the States am offering their services freely. It would seem aa if they had given their Meed freely, to m poured out, a willing sacrifice, if need be, upowtheelterefeer ©eeetry. When we celled « r twelve months volunteers, eur Wave boys ery where mepoufied with an ardor pad seal that knew no hounds; and whan we ceiled for. vClqatoers for the war, the number wee fan- crecsed.

Noble *o!tf pstrict! And there are thousands, *«d |‘ tensof thousands like him all over tb# leuth ! But your country wants no donations—no private contributions—to sustain bar. She has resources amply sufficient to beer every bur den without caking a cent of any one by way of contribution: but I’ll tell you what you can do and what you are expected to do. It is this: Let every Cotton and Rice planter, and every wheat grower in the South, when hie crop is gathered, cell It to the CenfrdcrnW States and take their bonds. It will form a good circulating medium, and be the soundest currency that tho country has ever had. Let the governmeat cell the products of our land to Europe for tbe speoie to support our brave boys in the field. Every pound of cotton I raise that is not absolutely necessary to sup ply the wauts of my family shall go to the support of the war, and that is tbe freling ev ery where. A representative from Mississip pi, said, I have ne cotton—not a bale; but from now till tbe next meeting of Congress, wherever a man q#u be found, I shell urge him to eel 1 hie cotton to tbe Government, nnd take its bonds in payment, to support our brave boys in arms. Another incident will illustrate tbe freling of our people, and especially tbe ladies. Our noble women are true to our cause. Tbe wo men of Montgomery, at shortest notice, not long since, made thousands of sand-bags for our soldiers at Pensacola. The message came there on Friday evening at 6 o’clock thattbeee •and bags were wanted at once. How ahall they be had? was on every man’s lips. Go to the ladies, said one, and they did so. The money wet raised, the material purchased, and by 6 o’clock on Monday evening, the work wae done. They assembled in the Churches of the Everliving God, and with their hands toiled night and day till the work was completed. (Cheera.) Talk shout subjugating a people where such a spirit as this prevails! If you lay aside all the men in tbe South, all Aboli- tiondom could not subdue our women. (Loud Cheere.) My confidence in our succeee, is greatly enhanced from the conduct of our wo men and tbe children that play around our fret. The faith which I learned in Christian child- hi od, tells me that God is still on the side of Truth and Justice. As God lives, and as He is the God of Truth and Justice, such a people can never be conquered. (Applause.) One other idea and I am dono. When I went to Montgomery, only six States were represented there. Now there are nine. And the good Old North Stato has also unanimously seceded ; and every gale that wafts from Ten nessee brings the evidence that her gallant sons will unite heart and foul with us I Heaven has smiled on us from tho first* Go and look at your crops; you may call it a good season, or whatever else you may, but I tell yon that it is tbe blessing of God upon us at tbis time. My friends, I know you will excuse me from making any further remarks at tbis time. I have been traveling, am fatigued, and have been speaking at many of tbe stations along the route. He retired amidst the wildest applause, and “three cheers for Cobb,” which were given vo ciferously. WlpK _ see from reed log it There are various Jour- aals la the North speaklag oat la tbe tame tr, ma.jaooo c They’ve Come—Arms for the South. The “Montgomery Confederation* says i *'A vessel arrived ai New Orleans from Europe, eh Monday, th# 0th iukt, with’210,000 stand of arms for the Confederate States. This is ibe e easel whose arrival baa been ex peeled for several days, find to which attention ha# been repeatedly ealled in the sheets of th# Little Villain and old Squint Eye. After all the earnest entreatiee of the Times and Her ald, that Old Abe would keep a look out for her, she has reached here safely and landed her cargo.” The Mind of Uniforms to Wear. A correspondent, writing from Washington, says t The Michigan Regiment, which arrived last night, is dressed in close-fitting uniforms, like those of tbe 7th and 71st New York corps — This ia after the style of the regular army, whose experience ia that reasonably olose-fiu ting clothes, padded in front with cotton, serve to ward off bullets, while very loose garments do not. Bravo for Him! Tbe New York News has always been a sound journal on tha Rights of the South. Ite office was threatened with demolition by the infu riate mob, that want around to all the news paper establishments, demanding that they hoist the United States Flag. Our recollection is, that the “ News'* and “ Day Book*' are the only two journals in the eity that defied them to tbeir face, and refuted tu hoist the flag at their bidding. They afterwards did hoist the flag—after the mob had left them, but refused to be coerced into the measure. But those papers, and espeoiaUy their edit ors, have been daily threatened, by oowarda, through anonymous letters, from that time to the present. In the “ News ” of tbe 17th instant, Ben Wood publishes the following eard. It speaks for it self: To Tnosa who Threats* this Jocaaxu— The editors, reporters and attaches of this journal, connected In no way with ite political opin ions, but engaged for their ability as Journal ists, are continually interrupted end annoyed in their pursuits by anenymene threatening letters or circulars from ih# “Committee of Thirty-Three,** and ether associations, sym bolising their intentions by dnrk devices, ef which the most conspicuous one is that pic turing a death's bend and cross-bones.

BENJAMIN WOOD. Ex-Preeldeat Pierce en the War.

But if, on the contrary, peace i# preferable to war; conciliation and mildness, to brutality and bloodthrlstiness ; economy lo profligacy of expenditure; observance of jus tice, (o reckless usurpation of power; truth, to treachery ; modesty lo self conceit; patri otism to demagogistn; tolerance, to fanali cism; wisdom, lo low cunning; and discre tion, to folly; then the President and hie ad visers will have achieved a fame so unenvia ble and detestable, that men will wonder, in future limes, how their misrule and misman agement of the affairs of the nation could have been tolerated for a single hour. For several weeks previously to tho bom hardment of Fort Sumter, tbe Press of tbe Norib and South had been unanimous in the declaration that Major Anderson would be withdrawn, and that the Administration had promised that it should be definitely evacua Mr. Jefferson Davis said truly, in bis message, that “constant asauranees bad been given of peaceful intentions ; cf the determin ation to evaouste Charleston harbor; and, further, that no measure, changing the exist* ing statue prejudicially lo the Confederate Slates, especially at Fort Pickens, was in con templation ; and he might well add, that “the crooked paths of diplomacy can scaroely fur aish an example so wanting in courtssy, in candor, and directness, as tbe course of the United 8tates Government” from beginning to eud. The South was cheated into war on the most miserably false pretenses. The seoed ing army at Charleston fell into tbe snare that had been laid for them, and enabled the President to inaugurate, at leisure, tbe sec* ond act of tbis oflicial career, Ibat of obeat ing, in tbeir turn, the people of tbe North — Tbe proclamation of tbe 15th of April, con taining the Administration programme, called for seventy thousand troops to defend tbe oep- tal, and to retake tbe “ places aad proper lie#'* t«at had been seized by tbe South.— An unconstitutional blookado of the Southern coast was at the same time deolared, and the functions of Congress were disgracefully usurped, in the manoer of enrolling soldiers in the Federal army. Events have einoe proved that the army thus levied was really intended to be one of invasion ; and that Mr. Lincoln, even before he had left his home, in Springfield, Illinois, had formed the guilty projeot of involving in civil war, and putting out slavery in blood. The undefended posi tion of tbe oapital afforded the pretext for con gregating armed host# at various point#; but it was, in reality, a mere pretext le deceive the Northern 8tete# into a conflict, from which it would be Impossible for them, afterwards, to withdraw. Tbe seoeeeion ef Virginia, Arkansas, Ten- nesaee, and North Carol:na,atruok a)death blow at tbe hope entertained by tbe Abolition con spirators at Waahingtoa to be able, at once, lo prooeed te extremities. Tbe short reign ef terror wbioh was manufactured in Northern cities, and tbe hideous outcries of Republican journals, failed in their object. The Disiriet of Columbia beoatne really exposed to inva sion; though it is questionable whether tbe idea of occupying it was ever seriously enter tained by any military mao of distinction in tbo Southern Stales. Troops began to nour into Virginia, and an army of defense, onder General Lea, to the number of probably sixty or seventy thousand men, it now prepared lo resist any effort lo past ever the frontier of that State. Mr. Lincoln's eeieidal policy has received a check, from which it oannot teen recover, and peace will not be disturbed, it is to be trusted, for several weeks, if ever. c He has equally failed io bia plans to send aa ar my down the Mississippi. The banks of that river bristle with cannon, and the idea of dis pat ebtag steamers, hostile to the South, has become absurd. Neither doce hie paper block ade meat with much belter aucoets. Tbe tone of the London and Paris Prose, and tbe late speech of Lord John Roseelt, render it evi dent that Great Britain and France will Ig nore it altogether. A British aeval force will shortly visit eur shores, and tho prognostica tion of ho Lead on Herald, that “ before many weeks England may be engeged in a bloody conflict with the United States,” will be cer* thinly realized, If Us cotton export trade le la lerfered with. that I Ss — of 0*»«nw«IM.

It bas been my fortune to be benefltted by that paternal feeling. I have bad conferred upon me high boners, tbo recollection of wbioh I hive ever eherisbrd. Soon after tbe end of tbe war of 1815, 1 had conferred upon me, by the Legislature of this State, a sword of hon or—a beautiful lokea of approval, whidfa, I regret to toy, 1 have not with me at this time. The eword I have on is a Louisiana sword, and happened to be tbe only oee within reach wbea I left Washington. At a subsequent pe riod, Virginia did me tbe honor to confer ep- on me a gold medal, wbioh would set forth tbe distinction by wbieb I bad gained tbe ap probation of the Representatives ef a State that I am proud to own ai my dear old moth* “ Later they conferred another honor upon me, by passing highly complimentary reaolu lions, nod now, forty-four years after the first honor, which wes bestowed upon me by tbe Legislnture of Virginia, I am reeeived here with the kind expressions of your heert, with a warmth and cordiality wbioh make me feel that this honor is the proudest of them all. "When I reflect upon all these testimonials of regard, I may say, without arrogance, that my life has not been entirely in vain. From my earliest youth I was fired with an ardent desire to prove myself worthy ef this, eur Commonwealth, and to receive ouch generous applause it truly gratifying te my feelings. U will cheer the remaining days of life; U will lighten my path is the grave." Tbe distinguished warrior omitted, through modesty or forgetfuloess, another honor, which was conferred upon him by bit “ dear old mother.” Io 1814, she paid him tbe em inent compliment of calling a couuty by hit name. But, even without this, the eonfession is full and complete, that the mother bad per formed her pan by tbe son. His heart over flowed with gratitude for the abundant honors showered upon him. He aaked no more—the measure ef his glory and ambition was full; be had not lived in vain—he was ready to die! Who on the face of the earth could have imegioed it poseible, after such an exbibi lion, that this earns honored and grateful son would be found gatheriug an armv—of des peradoes and ruffians to invade the soil, de- strov the liberties sod ravage aad lay waste the homes and fields of tbe “dear old moth er ?" There is a set of vlrtnee wbioh partake of the nature ef duties and confer no especial eradii on tbe possessors of them. Honesty ia man and obaatitj in woman are of tbia char aeter. It is a simple duty to be cbeeto and honest; tbe absence of the virtue makes a strumpet of tbe one and a rogue ef the ether, and entails infamy and shame oe both. Io like manner, there is a set of sentiments, re cognized in all ages and by all civilised na tions, as binding on the action* of every hon orable man. Toey are not the results of rea son—but the Instincts of a manly, honorable and ingenuous naturs. The sentiment of af fection for parents, and, ia a still larger but kindred sense, for country, is of this high and •acred character. The mao, brutal to parents or felee to his native sod, has not lived who was not justly regarded as infamous by man kind. Tbis judgment is not to bo roasoned about or roasoned away; it rests ou th# im perishable besie of tho better instinots of bo- man nature. General Scott, with all his lan roll, cannot escape its wide spread, universal and invinoible force. Tbe haad that adorned him might strip him ef his plumes. Virginia might recall tbe sword and medal she hae given; she might revoke the complimeutery resolutions she has adopted—she might, imi tating a Revolutionary example, when the people ef Shenandoah, then oalled Vunmere, refused to live in “a county hemriny the name of euch m Tory," stigmatize nnd erase from her roll of countiee the name of Scott. Suoh so tion by “my dear old mother” would be per* fectly justifiable, and it would infiiot an in tense disgrace: but ae doubt if it would be keif so keenly felt by tbe renegade himself as that sense of loathing wbioh he feels attends the name of traitor it every quarter of tho oivilised world, nnd whioh bo knows will haunt him by day and night to his dving breath. Tho nnoionts had a saviog that no man was happv till his doaih. Tho Htro of Cbippeva and Lundy's Lans is a living illustration of this antique apothem. When all the neble and chivalrous spirits of the Federal aervioa were abandoning the flsg wbioh had beeome tho badge of despotism, aad flying te the ree- cue of liberty and tbeir native 8tnte, he, obli vious of every sense of duty to bia “dear old mother," remained with her enemies, to or gnnise armies for her invasion and desolation. It is not worth wblls to inquire whether he was prompted by vanity, avarice or ambi tion. He bas obosen his part. He must be a parrieade, or bo mutt betray tho oauto whioh ho baa now icpoused. Ho eaa never again put his foot open the eoll that gave him birth, except ns an invader, or a traitor with a rope around hla nock.
