At an at the speech ley and said Fellow-citizens, when this struggle com menced, I think I was not as gay and san guine as most of you were. I did not be lieve, if we Lad a civil war at all, it could be a little war. I did believe and I believe now it might Lave been made a little war by striking so soon, and striking so strong ly that it would not have been a civil war at all. I believed then, and I believe now, that a moderate army quickly raised, well disciplined, well commanded, and obtain this supply and light up all the factory lires again? It would be a difficult matter if England were expected to act alone, but all Europe would be with us, in any effort we might make to bring about a settlement and stay the useless effusiou of blood. Unless through foreign interven tion there is no hope for peace. The re- | markable letter of General Scott, read at j a late New York meeting, shows that the j Northerners conceive themselves little | more than at the beginning of the war iree | years as the shortest time within which | they can conquer tlie South, and they j i seem prepared to accept his dictum. The ! ! question for our Government is whether it j ; will support our workmen by national j ! grants, for what remains of this protracted j period. The aid offered by public contri butions will soon cease. AVhat then n to | be done? It has now been shown that the most India can do for us is very little- All j our substitutes have failed. AYe arc thrown , back on the Southern American produce j The eyes of tens of thousands are strained ! westward to discern the first streaks of an ! approaching peace, which will restore Where «Ioc« Ihc uionoy j»;o ? The New Y ork Caucasian comments ou this query, as often heard at the North, in the following manner: “AYhere does the money go?” asks the i | . , C I *“Otv UKUJ fit, UIU UUKIUUIU" V A lllti 1> ill honest working man, a* be sees the huge t> The veteran leader has named th amounts ordered by committee of the Sen- ' ate and house to be disbursed by the AV ar Department.

French landed at that negro depart ment, teaching the little niggers to sing ‘gal-ory, hallelujah.’ The exact number compass 1C ! J ’ ' happiness to the desolated homes of Lau- nc 0 cashire.

Army of Northern A”a., ( near Port Royal, jan, 31st, 1863. J This is the camp of Stonewall Jackson’s corpse ’d arme. 1 have visited tho several brigades composing it during tho past two days, and find them in good health and spirits—ready, as they have ever been, to meet the insolent foe; and I but reiterate the opinion of both officers and men, when I say that his army, in its present position is invincible. Whilst this army, generally speaking, is in excellent condition, it is my duty to inform the friends of Gen. Lawton’s Ga. Brigade, composed of the 13th, 26th, 31st, 38th, 60th and 61st Ga. regiments, that many of the men in this Brigade are entirely barefooted, and many more who have some sort of shoes, are without socks, which are so necessary for a soldier’s comfort in such a climate as this. In the 00th Ga. regiment 150 men did not participate in the battle of Fredericks burg, because they were without shoes; and this was, to some extent, the case with several other regiments. Some of the men in this brigade have been sup plied since, but still, many are without any kind of a shoe. Last AYednesday night a terrible snow storm prevailed, covering tlie ground with 10 inches of snow, and adding to the suffer ing of our men. Whose fault it is that these brave men are thus neglected . I shall not at this time undertake to say, but will call the at- likely to look upon yon in manhood of womanhood a3 they did in youth. Theti in your school-days prepare for noblo men and women. Impending Anarch? in iho North. A correspondent of the New York Her ald, writing from Albany and speaking of the late disgraceful proceedings in the Legislature says: They prove clearly that we arc to-day- standing on a volcano, liable at any mo ment to break forth with all its fury. It proves also that tho public mind is ripe for revolution, and is in that condition not to be trifled with, either by Jacobi” abolition factious or any other. It is rs 3^ble to break out in one place as another; and when it once breaks loose—when tb^vfi.rst blow is struck or the first pistol fired— which at one time was imminent here—the infection will spread, and no human pow er can stop it. That is the true condi tion ot tlio public mind at present, and that daily events are developing this sen timent and lipening it for the future.no one who has cm elully watched their pro gress in different localities of the North can help but admit. It proves tIi. t the perilous hour of the nation is now upon us, and that we are fast approaching a period when anarch)' will be tbe order of the day, unless our rulers take such steps as an necessary to stay the storm. There are many men here who stand far above the several contests and person al troubles of tlie hour, who consider it more than probable that the winter will not pass away without there being a con- troversey between tlio national and State administrations. As evidence that we are fast drifting in that direction, they cite tlie fact that tho administration at AVAsh- ington have not communicated with Gov ernor Seymour or any of his officials since he was placed in office; also the move ments of Gen. AA r ool, calling npon the militia to report to him instead of to the Governor. They' consider this as evi dence that it is tho determination of the authorities at AVashingtou to force au issue upon the State. AVell may it be asked whither arc we drifting? Tom Thumb’s Marriage.—The New York journals have an excite ment now over the approaching mar riage of Major General thomas Thumb. The World says: Gen. Tom Thumb (Air. Charles S. Stratton) has had an interview with liight Rev. Bishop Porter, who has consented to perform tlie marriage service in his approaching nuptials with MissLavinia AYarren. The Bish- tention of our State authorities and their | 0 p will be assisted by the Rector of friends and relatives in Georgia to their John’s Church, Bridgeport, Conn., condition I trust that, in justice to our that bein „ the Church where the Gen- grinds 8200,000 for out bis money by steam is j teaching the little Dinahs.

When it did become a civil war, when it was the South against the North, and not merely the iillibusters of the South against the L’nion, we must all have realized that it was destined to be one of tbe great wars of history—one of tbe great wars. We are now in tlie midst of the war. It demands of us efforts and sacrifices, and perils. I do not sec the immediate result of the war. 1 am not sanguine that, under tbe leaders we have, the management we have, an immediate triumph is at all certain. AYe mav have that, AA’e arc more likely not to have that. But, at the same time, I do realize that the end of this contest—the real end, the end that is to be conclusiv e— car.not be otber than a United North America and a free North America. If the wav were to be suspended to-mor row—suspended by whatever contrivance you please, compromise, disunion, any thing, it could be but a truce, nothing more. Nothing more than a tnice, and this slave system of the South has already received wounds which I believe to be mortal. It may not be that the effect will be immediately visible; but you can’t put things back where the) any more than a broken egg can be made a whole egg again. All men know that this country is to be one country. Divide it here; let demagogues talk of separating the West from the East—and I thiuk we have more danger to-day from conspiracies against the Union in the Free States than in the Slave ; I think the danger is greater from these than from tln.se.—but subdivide it to-morrow, make half a dozen unions and make them all slave, and yet there will be this irresistible tendency to Amcr- to your task, put your shoulder to the ! wheel, work till your heart sweats blood, i AVater the earth like dew, with the big t drops which roll from your toil-wrinkled i brow ; your fate is, to be taxed enormous ly for a nigger war; and pay beside, thou- j sands of millions for nigger freedom. AY’ho alioted this task, myhouest workingman? Abraham Lincoln takes the responsibility. Taxation is slavery—debt is slavery.— which, if not backed by force, would only irritate and give a little fresh strength to the Lincoln Government.” An amusing anecdote is related in the London Saturday Review, which shows the distrust the operatives have in the efforts of the Government to substitute the j use of Indian for Southern cotton. At a i Alethodist meeting in Manchester, the I preacher prayed, among other things, for a ; bountiful supply of cotton.

IiitlSo YVosafs. Jessie rvas expecting two girls to spend tlie afternoon with her. She put her baby- house in nice order, and swept the barn- chamber floor whore tbe. swing was.— “They are my company, too,” said Har ry. “Yes,” answered his mother, “if you behave well.” “I shall behave,*’ said Harry. Before they came, however, from some cause or other, Harry’s spirit v> erc became ruffled, and he was not the pleas ant boy lie could sometimes be. The little girls arrived, and Jessie kiss ed them, she was so glad. After speaking to her mother, ‘Which?’ cried Jessie to tliein, ‘which first, baby bouse, nr barn V ‘Baby-house,’ chose both of the girls at r.ncc. ‘Barn,’shouted Harry. ‘Wemust go first :ist number of tlio London Illus- : trated 'News contains pictures represen- i ting tbe distressed condition of the Lan cashire operatives.

I am informed that wbat I have said in reference to tbe con dition of tlieso regiments, is equally true of many others from Georgia. The men are bearing these hardships and sufferings without a murmur, which shows a devoted patriotism unoqualcd in the history of the world. In this connection, I desiro to say to the benevolent and patriotic ladies of the empire State of tbe South that thousands of their fathers, brothers and friends in this army are destitute of socks. I know that it is only necessary for them to be aware of the fact, and the soldiers will soon be supplied. The roads here are all in a horrible condition; in fact many of them are im passable. The ground was quite rotten before this snow, and is becoming worse daily. On tho road from Gainey’s Station to this place. I saw teams stalling with emp ty wagons, while every few hundred yards a wagon was mired in the mnd to the axles and abandoned, and in the road and road side, at short intervals lay numbers of dead mules and horses. At one place the road was literally blockaded by tlie bodies of three dead mules, lying stretched iu the mud and water in one hedge. From this you will see that an advance of the enemy soon is utterly impossible. Of course it would not be prudent for me to say anything definite about the number of our men on the line of the Rappahauock, or the strength of their po sition, but it is enough to know that both are amply sufficient to repel any effort the enemy may make on our lines; and if Hooker should cross the river with his hordes of thieves and robbers, it will be only to meet with certain and inevitable defeat. Our men now all have tents with chim neys, or log huts, and most of them are pretty well supplied with blankets. It is amusing to see what a variety of crude huts are constructed. They may be seen in every shape and size imagin able. The chimneys are generally topped with an empty flour barrel—both heads being broken out. The rations now are flour and pickled pork, but they are rather short on account of the bad condition of the roads. In fact, I have no doubt that, unless great industry is used in “polling” tbe road from the railroad to tho array, it will be impossible to supply them with commissary stores, and consequently the army will have to change its position. On my way out here I -stayed a day at eral and his family attend worship, and where his sister was married. The wed ding will take place in Trinity Chapel, 2-5th street, ou Tuesday. Febnary 10. The General has purchased the wed ding diamonds for his bride at an out lay exceeding five thousand dollars.— They are now on view at Ball & Black’s. The elegant bridal outfit may be seen at Lorn & Taylor’s in Broad way. The little General is so over whelmed with letters and personal applications for cards of invitation to the wedding that he has been obliged to refer all parties to his secretary, Mr. G. D. Brooks, No. 3-5 Chambers street. The President and Airs. Lincoln, the foreign embassadors and their ladies, the Governors of the adjacent States, General Scott, General and Mrs. Wool, General and Mrs. Fremont, General and Airs. AIcClellan, are among, the invited; but the number of cards of admission, will be strictly limited to the seating capacity of the Chapel. It is estimated that after the distin guished invited guest and the personal friends arc provided for there will be still left about three hundred seats, which will be distributed among tbe elite of this and other cities. Early in Alarch the tiny happy couple sail for England, to make the tour of Europe in a strictly private or non-professioual capacity. An r:piln*»h.

S. has a large army, and is ready to meet the enemy whenever lie may make his ap pearance. Deserters from the abolition army are coming in at that place almost daily. They represent the enemy thoroughly demoral ized at Newborn, and consequently una ble to make an advance. At AA r ilmington, tbe utmost confidence is felt in our ability to hold tbe city against any force tlie enemy can bring against it. J. CAAIP. A Ruined Chnrnrlrr. Not long since, in a certain neighbor hood, a man was wandering in search of employment. lie called at a respectable fanner’s bouse and told his errand. “AA’liat's your name?” asked the man. “Jonathan Gilman,” was the reply. “Jonathan Gilman! the same who lived near here w hen a boy?” “The same, sir.” “I will not employ you then.” Poor Jonathan, surprised at such a re ply passed on to tho next farmer’s; but the same reply was given. He soon came in sight of an old school house. “Ah,” said he “I understand it now. I was a school-boy there once, but wbat kind of a school-boy? Lazy and disobe dient. And although I am in a measure reformed, tbey all tbink me the same kind of a man as I was a boy. O, that I had done my duty when at school! then again could I dwell pleasantly in the land of my birth.” School-boya and school-girls, please re member that jour sehool-matas will ba lion. TboHitm A.
