Hon. Henry W. Hilliard’- Eloquent Speech* Tliit distinguished gentleman, whose virtues, rare lalenta, accomplishments, learning and eloquence, hare caused him to be styled the “Edward Everett ot (heSouth,” passed through otig city yetterday inorniifr. on hie way to Montgomery, from his late mission to ft ash - vilte, having sueoeesfolly accomplished the oh- j sot Tor whieb the Confederate Government had seat him share. It was quickly aoieed abroad that he was here, and a large crowd collected around the car and called for him, in response to which he appearod and addressed them as follows: I regret that my feeble health and the op pressive heat, will not allow me to address you as I could wish. I am much fatigued and worn down with my arduous labors. As you know, I was called by roy Government to visit Ten nessee, charged with the duty of trying to in duce her to cast in her fortunes with us, and to make a treaty or military alliance with the people of the gallant volunteer State. I pro ceeded to Nashville and was there at the meet ing of her Legislature, called in extra session in consequence of the alarming state of affairs. 1 found them an able and patriotic body of men—alive to the interests of their noble State and the whole South. Her patriotic Governor had already recommended to her to secede and unito with us. The Legislature sa t with closed d<H>rs for some days; but when the cloud was lifted from their proceedings, we found that they had, by an overwhelming majority, pass ed an Ordinance of Secession. And more than this, they bavo raised $5,000,000 and 55,000 men for the war, (o rush to the conflict, side by side, with cur brave soldiers, to repel the foe that threatens to invade and subjugate us.— They have Also formed a military alliance with us, and have placed all their forces under th command of that accomplished and consum mate leader, Jefferson Davis. I am rejoiced to be able to announce to you that West and Middle Tennessee are in a blase of enthusiasm for our cause, aud their bravo suns are responding as with one unanimous voice. Some have expressed their fears about Kaat Tennessee. 1 (ell you they are ground less. The thunders of that section are begin ning to roll, and will soon overwhelm all op position. The riflemen of East Tennessee are indignant at Laving been held back so long. They aro with us heart and soul. It is vain to try to hold them back, and no such efforts will he successful. You might as well try to stop the rush of an avalanche, as to try to keep East Tennessee from joining iu with us. Georgia has done her part nobly. When she seceded, all sagacious men saw that tho old Union was lost and gono forever—to us at least. Some of her best sons tried to stay the tide of revolution for a little time—till one more effort could be made to save tho Union on principles that would bejustto the South; but the people differed with theso patriotic men. Your pre sent illustrious Vice President was one of these. Mr. Toombs, your gallant and gifted states man, sooner than Mr. Stephens, came to tho oncluson that we must cut loose frtun the North. Now theso mighty men, of whom you Georgians are so justly proud, are side by side, heart aud soul, battling to sustain our cause. Toombs is not a whit in advance of Stephens. I tell you, gentlemen, nothing could have been done to save the Union and our just rights in it. All was lost when Lincoln was elected; ard it only required that our people should realize the fact, to make every man a secessionist. We all see it now, and feci it—hence there is but one feeling among us. Tho President of the North is a mere creature—weak and contemptible, if not 'unprinoipled—and is more clay in the hands of designing and dishonest men, whose sole o' ject was, to deprive the South of her Constitutional rights and her liberties, and now is to complete her utter destruction. It is now no longer a question of slavery, of finance, or even the interest of rival sections : with us it is a question of Constitutional Liber ty, and of the maintenance of all that is dear to a brave and honorable people. With the North it isoucof extermination—of rapine and blood shed—an effort to r«b and plunder, lay waste our fair heritage, murder our people, and wipe out our existence. If we should g'vo way now we shell be subdued. We shall sink iu dis grace and wretchedness, with the most unheard of atrocities inflicted upon us ; and the days of whatever of us or our country may be left, will be spent in infamy. If we uphold our banner, we shall, wilh victory, beat bsok the enemy. We shall sooa satisfy them that have courage undaunted and ability to conquer a peace; that we are acquainted wilh the arts of war, as well as peace. 8ide by side, shoulder to shoulder, each of the 8tstes in the South will move forward in this conflict, until victory is schieved. We shall have the whole 8outh wilh us. Let the North take the North. Let her take her New England States—her manufactures—her commerce, and her own views to herself; but the South, wilh her pa triarchal institutions, her rich products, her broad expanse from the Atlantic to the Rio Grande—l" Every inch qf it!" shouted Major Cooper, in the erowd.] Yes, Major Cooper, ev ery inch of her ground will be ours. Virginia has acted nobly—grandly. She clung to the Union for its sacred memories, with which her own history and the history of her patriot fathers were so indissolubly con nected-using every possible effort, with hop« even against hope, to restore harmony and se cure.off rights; bat when thobafa usurper threw down his bloody ga*ge of war, slTe proud ly hoisted $er banner of liberty, with “8ic Simper Tr harms " broadly Inscribed on its folds, and defiantly flaunted it in his face; end the great multitude of her brave sons are fath ering to maintain her sacred easue like “ this sound of many watari.** How oould Tennessee have acted otherwise? Her people have ever keen' hra^d—devoted to libqrly, * n< * inspired with a deadly hate of ty rants. It is a remarkable fact, that ia mere than ft hmftdred battle*, la which Vaafteesee roope have been engaged, he# mho Mato te*v- doutof and* fpub- hec into th*hands is altogether unarmed. Kentucky is indignant A man but standing on her border can almost hear the violent pul sations o r her angry, throbbing hgsrt. When she is armed, she will burst like a thunderbolt, and her fury will fall on the-head* oi whoever may be the invaders of Southern duff, - or show themselves t> he the enemies of the South. Missouri, too, will be with us. He people aro panting for deliverance from their galliug connection with an abolitionized Government. I know what 1 say about Ibis State. You may rely upon it, all the wantste arms. In this wap, the result of the battle is no! doubtful. We shall triumph. The North has more men and money, and perhaps more arms than we have; but we have plenty of men and money—and if not ol Arms we soon will have —to drive back the world arrayed against us. Come what will, time and a steady purpose will accomplish for us all we could desire was encouraged as I passed through Tenuessee and saw in many places the Confederate flag flying from almost every housetop. Our flag has been given to the breeze. It will never he lowerod; hut that proud emblem of dominion II wave over an enlarged country ere long. The North may borrow the language of Joh the Baptist, and say, you “ must increase, but I must decrease.” Run your eye along tbe map of our beloved land, from the Atlantic to tbe Rio Grande, d from the Ohio to the Gulf! It is a broad and a goodly land, abounding in tho choicest productions of earth, with a virtuous und brave people. A more glorious couutry the si never shown on. We have vast wealth ar resources, aud all the elements of civilization and greatness. Our condition is enviable, will indomitable, our courage equal to any trial, and we must conquer. But the best of all is, God is with us. have right on our side, and Heaven will i on us. During this wsr that has been forced upon us, we shall keep ourselves in the right. We have no aggressive war to make oi one, and shall invade no one’s rights. When wo shall have fought through this war, shall be able to thank God for the great victu ry that we shall achieve. Even now, 1 fancy that Lincoln feels like Richard the III. at Bos worth Field. lie sleeps and dreams at his case in Washington. When tho day of battle comes, I have no doubt ho will be soon flying froi the Federal City, and crying at tbe top of his voice—“A hor£e! n horse! My Kingdom fora horse.” Thanking his audience, he retired amidst enthusiastic applause. Gen. G. T. Anderson. Wc luul the pleasure of meeting our old friend (Jen. Anderson, in this city yesterday mornin; Gen. Anderson has been residing on the fron tiers at Leavenworth city, for several years; but hearing of the war, he hastened back t> native Georgia—and at once organized a No. 1 company iu Walton county—and put them in camp one mile from Monroe, where they drill and learn camp duty, from day to day.

Democrat. Yesterday morning, we had tbe pleasured a visitfrorn the veteran editor of the above named Journal, H. G. Robkrtsox, Esq. Ilia paper is published at the homo of Andy Johnson, and from the first, has manfully combatted the demagoguism and treachery to the South of this ally of Lincoln, who has labored to hitch the fortunes oi Teunesseo to the car of Aboli tionism. In the face of the most discouraging opposition, aud at Urge pecuniary loss, Mr. RoberUon has consistently and ably advocated the cutting loose of the 8tate from the North, and a union of her destiny with the Confeder ate States. Wo were pleased to notice a day or two sgo, that the members of th* Tennessee Legislature, at their late session, presented him with an elegant and costly gold headed cane as a token of tbeir appreciation of his labors in the cause of Truth. We advise every body who wants a paper from East-Tennessee, to taka the Democrat.— It is ably conducted, and worthy of support. Price, $2 per annum. More Extraordinary New*. Our neighbor, tho Intelligencer, yesterday morning, in its telegraphic columns, had tho following announcement: “The Secession Flag is still floating at Hamp ton ltoads, Toronto, Canada West.” W« ware not before awar* that it had bo*n floating la any portion of Canada. If such bo the fact, it transcends all the dreams of the Hon. Secretary of War about planting it over Fenueil Hall, or the exploit of Lieut. Jenifer in oapturiag Farther Point! Pen h*I. We had the pleasure yesterday morning *f a hasty *all from M. W. Ctueasr, S*o., one of th* editors ol the Memphis “Avalanche,” end D. M. Du Boss. Esq , of Augffita. They were Volunteer Uniforms. , „ rood uniform sbouftf enable ih* oflleers Smradfs of ib* weaver t* diattagatah a glance from members of other eorpe; it should protect him agnlost the element*; it •boutd be comfortable when be i* at rest, and tflio# perfect freedom of notion. It should be easy to put on, even In baste and in the dark, and it should have no eaHfnt paints which strike the eye nt a dielgnee. To notice these points in revert* order; Alt bright colors or tints which do not blend with the oolor of ground and stone are ill auapfed io military purpose*. Tbe different shades of gray, fight blue And brown are best for uni forma. . Red* black, dark green, and dark blue are very unfit for soldiers r wear. Rifle shoot ing at long range <• such an important and effective department of modern warfare, that all colors which make the wester a clearly de fined spot in the landscape puts bis life in in stant peril. Black and dark green are as bad in'this reaped as red; and lha latter is there fore one of the worst possible colors for rifle- meu, to whom, from poelio associations of for est-life, it hsn been hitherto assigned. Bright buckles upon ths breast, and metallic plates aud while decorations upon the cap, are equally objectionable. Every man who has used a rifle or a pistol knows t he value of some such kind of “hull’s eye” in fixing tbe aim.— All snob glittering finery should be brushed aside as dusgerous rubbish. That a uniform which cannot be quickly put on is deficent iu a most important point it is almost needless to show. Complicated trap pings are likely to add to the confusion of the soldier on a surprise, and to deprive him of tbe use of some part at least of his equipment when he roost needs it. But perhaps the chief point lo be insisted ou, because, straugely euough, It Is that upon which there has been thus far the gravest error, is the comfort and unrestrained movement of the uniformed sol dier. The best fighting costume is mere shirt and trowsers, aud in this costume the best fighting of modern days has beon done. G baldi’s red sbirts are not the ouly hero* these two garments, ns the battle fields of the Mexican war could well attest. A man goes into action to pul every muscle of his body to the highest tension, aud when be marches he should feel his accoutrements as little as pos sible, so that every strap, belt, band, pad, or other restraint upon freedom of action, which necessarily frets him and diverts his atteulion lo bis own discomfort, gives traitorous aid and comfort to the enemy. Let padded breasts, high coal colors, stiff slocks, broad-shoulder ed straps, tight belts, trowser streps, nnd boots, be consigned to the tomb of pig tails and powder. foot tbe knapsacks be sluog not by two straps from the side, which bind lhe wearer to it like a boarding school uiissto her black-bo irJ, hut by sirups from tLe middle titih make the carriage easy , and if inge, why let it swing. Let the coat be loose almost as a blouse or a shirt, so that the wearer, if he choose, can clap his hands high above his head, or 'strike straight from the shoulder, and not feel the least restraint.— Have done with swallow-tails, long or short and bright brass buttons, and wear an easy short frock, confined by buttons which will not be marks at a hundred yards. Wear loose trowsers, so loose as lo aocotuinodate pockets that will hold a small loaf of bread upon erner gency, and let them taper toward tbe foot, so as lo be eavily thrust under leather gaiters in wet weather. For boots, wear broad-soled, )und toed shoes. A man walking on a sole s broad ns his foot, can, other tilings being jual. march one quarter faster and one-quar ter longer (ban one who treads upon a sole of fashionable shape; and ia war, lo march quick ly and easily is to win baule*. Sun and wind and rain itie soldiers must eu countre, and they sometimes are more harm ful than the enemy. There is no protection against them like light wollen fabrics, with out stuffing or buckram. Light limp cap? of woollen, with broad visors, or broad brimmed (but not too broad) felt hats ; double breasted coals, so made that they can he worn open in warm weather, and will really protect the chest in a lower temperature ; trowsers of the same, and under these light flannel shirts aud drawers ; such are the proper materials lor a soldier’s dress, even ia the summer months — They secure him, as fAr as possible, that first requisite, health. Winter oampaigu* require overcoats, of course, but our Volunteers will not need these now. The point of distinction of different corps must be atiaiued as heretofore by variation iu the color uu-i shape of tho uniform, aud (as for the reasons given above, there should not be any great or striking variety in these) dif ference in the oolor and fashion of tbe trim mings, which should be as simple as possible. A little ingenuity nnd artistio skill will ac complish this cosily. Uniforms designed up on ilieso principles may not tickle the fancy of those who like lo play at soldier, but they will gladden the eyes of every one who knows that war means woik. .

Maryland. The Baltimore Sun regards "tbe pressure of the Government against Maryland ’ as "il liberal and unkind.” Nevertheless, it says, for aught it knows, the "relations of Mary land to the Union may be perpolnal. n It seems, at present, as if Marylaod would not secede. Nor should, in our opinion, the Confederate Slates give themselves any uneasiness about the mailer. From (he best information we can gather, a majority, perhaps a large of (lie people of Maryland are opposed to rev- oluliou, and prefer to remain where they are ; and such being the case, however, we may sympAihizo wilh the minority, we have no de sire lo override the popular will. Maryland must come to us wilh her full consent, or not at all. We wero always opposed lo forcing liberty on any people, either by a direct re* sort to arms or indirectly, placing them ia a position where they tire not at liberty to aot as they desire. As a matter of policy, wo cannot see where in (be Confederate Slates have any great in* terest at stake in the acquisition of Maryland Her commercial oily must become, in lhat event, a roost formidable oompelitor to (he towns South of 1 er— Norfolk, Charleston and Savaunab ; and, while we have no use for Washington, it will cost a bloody struggle to wrest it from the United Stales.

The present revolution developes strange scenes in the North. We hear of an English regiment about lo march side by side with an Irish Regiment, headed by Thomas Francis Meagher. Truly the Lion and the lamb will lie down together, and forget tbeir ancient feud. Then only think of tbe Masaaobusetts Regiments marching in company wilh Ihsir adopted fellow-countrymen of the Catholic faith ! How pleasant will be the recolleotion- of the burning of the Charlestown Convent!” No mao has e?er been persecuted in the South on account of bis religious belief. Re member that! No books detailing disgusting lies about esoaped nuns have ever been pub lished at tbe South for the purpose of inflam ing tbe Protestant kccis against their fellow- Chriatians of the Catholic faith. Remember that also ! When the slavery question is disposed of, New England Pnrtanisrn will next turn its hand to Catholicism, which was long since looked for as its next bobby.
