Tue gallery wa9 devoted to the colored people, aud wts densely crowded. They paid throughout close and intelligent atten tion to the discourse of the speaker, frequent ly applauding enthusiastically. Decoration*. The Theatre was most beautifully and ap propriately decorated for the occasion. Au arch-scene was run out upon the stage, and within this were tastefully ftstooned upon either side the folds of American flag, draped with the white and black symbols of mourn ing. Between the parting folds was a trans parency devised by Albert Fest and J. H. Noruimui, orderlies at Gen. Btrge’s Head quarters, bearing the design of a broken column with the words, *’lu Ntatary of our Late President, Abra ham Lincoln.''

The speaker’s desk was appropriately en veloped with the stars aud stripes The band of music oi the 6th U. S. Infantry was preseat aud furnished excellent music. Col. A. W, Stout called the assemblage to order and intro duced, with a few well-chosen words, the speaker of the evening. Chaplain J. H. Fow ler. Mr. Fowler was received with applause, and spoke in substance as follows, being fre quently interrupted with applause. Hi'. Fovf lee’s Audi css. Our experience covers ihe transitional epoch between two geological periods and laps on to both. Os this experience the speaker would not attempt an exhaustive in terpretation, but call attention to some promi nent facts which cleatly indicated our pre sent condition, and point to the future. JiL»s ft arc com? to arms, ideas ioug standing grow ing into institutions and civilizations, belong ing to different ages and countries of the world have developed here in this age and country, as h*a been possible in uone other and "(these have come to arms. The long aud bloody conflict is ended.— The victory is to oue side. The laws ot the universe have given it, for the Union train is chained to the stars. The freight forbidden by these laws to pass through the nineteenth century was thrown over by the forward cars, while the rear cars clung to it. This caused a dispute, resulting in an attempt to sever the connection and upset the rear cars, spilling out the disputed freight. The freight is gone forever. The connection is good.— The tram is one /&> ever. Shall the rear cars go on up side Uowu, split and splitting all the way, or shall they come “right side up," and the whole train move on loaded with homogeneous freight ? This last is decreed by the“same laws that upset them. The war was not to divide the Union, but to kill slavery and open up the South to the ideas and institutions of New England. Henceforth we are to be one people, a power on the earth, a nation of Yankees who progress by the obstacles they encoun ter. The South in fighting against the North bps unconsciously made themselves Yan kees. The two sections have met in new relations and learned to respect each other. The war has left us in debt, but has discov ered to us new sources of wealth in ourselves und iu our country, and taught us how rich we are. It has done more for the South than the North. It has solved the great question of Southern Com mercial Conventions and of Southern Rights. The light soil of the lower country is pecu liarly adapted to machine culture, and the curse of slavery lifted therefrom it. will invite the enterprise of the world. The “up coun try” waterfalls will be taught to run machine ry and manufacture the home products, bring ing a market to every mans door, and in a few years these lauds gone down with the cpi-rency, will rise far above their. former value, for the whole average productions of the South will double. Finally, the Confederacy is collapsed, aud what is lost ? Not States’ Rights, for these are now. for the first time, made possible. Not State Sovereignty, for this never did and never can exist in this country. Man is the only sovereign, under God, possible among us. His will not iu conflict with right or that of bodies of men is supreme. The will of a majority of the whole nation is the supreme law of the land as much as that ol the people of a State for the State, or that of the people of a city for the city, when these last shall not coufliet with the first.— This is pure Democracy; and for Demo cracy the continent was made long before a European ever saw it. Democracy must pre- LOSS OF THE STEAMER GOV. TROUP. Three Hundred Bales of Cotton Destroy ed—Most of the Passengers aud Crew Saved,with Loss of Hngtf age—Se ver st Negroes Drowned. On Sunday afternoon last the steamer Gov. Troup left Augusta for Savannah, with a crew and passenger list of over two hundred persons. Among the passengers were fifteen or twenty ladies aud some children, but a large proportion of those on board were col ored persons. The Troup proceeded down the river to the steamer Amazon, which lay snagged and at Sand Bar Ferry, four miles below Augusta. The Troup took on board from the Amazon three hundred bales of cotton. Capt. Davis expressed fears of the cotton taking fire, it beiug in very bad order, with no covering and very few ties. On Monday morning the steamer started down the rtver. At a quarter of eleven o’clock a. m., nine miles below Augusta, an alarm of fire was sounded. Capt. Davis nulled aft and dis covered the cotton on fire in two places on the starboard side. Knowing that it would be impossible to 9ave the steamer or cargo, he immediately ordered the boat to be roqnd ed and run into the Carolina bank of the river, which he succeeded ia doing. The flames were rapidly extending forward, aud all exertions were devoted to saving the lives of those on hoard, with great success.— Capt Davis and the colored pilot for the Al tarnaha river remained behind till the last, rescued a lady aud child, and then jumped overboard, and by swimming reached the bank of the river. The Captain expresses himself certain that no lives were lost of those who jumped over board on the port side of the boat. A number of colored persons on the starboard aide, jumped overboard, and it is thought that some of them were lost. Capt. Davi9 bad bis left arm badly burned, and the back of bis bead. Three small mail bags containing U. 3 Mail matter were in the Captain’s room ; he suc ceeded in getting the pouches out p» the up per deck, bat being surrounded by the flames had to aaye hjmseJf without them.

Davis to report also to Headquarters at Augusta. Mrs. Geo. L. Cop and family of Savannah, were on board, andwere savyd.

As the baggage ot the white captives contained con siderable rebel money, rebel documents aud 9ome gold, and as they appeared to be very intelligent men, and acknowledged having recently been iu Richmond, they are suppos ed to be persons who have held positions of importance in the Confederacy, and who were endeavoring to make their escape to Havana. * Gold.
