SPEECH OF HON. L. Q. C. LAMAR.
Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar, of Mississippi, deliv
ered an address in the State House to-night,
on the sentiment of Europe in reference to the
Confederate States, and on the state of the
country. Mr. Lamar went to Europe ovei a year
ago, and had good opportunities of ascertain
ing tho sense of European opinions. He found
the intelligent people everywhere candid in
expressions of sympathy for the Confederates,
and of admiration for the dignity and states
manship of our rulers, and the valor, endur
ance, and fortitude of our soldiers and people,
but there were considerations of a political
character operating to deter any official recog
nition or intervention by the governments of
Europe. Still the approval of intelligent
European opinions was cheering. Gieat
Britain was-sensitive of any act that should
incur the hostility of the United States.
France was deterred by the refusal of other
powers to join her. Russia alone was openly
in her partiality for the United States. The
ignorant populace of Germany had been be
guiled by Northern fanaticism and had sent
recruits to the Northern armies. The Pope
has declared our nationality an established
fact. The financiers of London had taken the
Confederate loan, while they refused to touch
that of the United States, which was a finan
cial recognition ot our national existence, and
a substantial evidence ot their confidence in
our success.
Os the state of, the country Mr. Lamar was
most hopeful, jfle reviewed the message of
the Governor and the resolutions of Mr.'Ste
i phens, proposing to rebuke the action of Con
; gress, and sustained the President, in an elab
j orate review of the constitutional points in
■ voiced. He defended the suspension of the
[ writ of habeas carpus n? constitutional and
i proper, and commended the President to the
| confidence and support of the people; elo
| quently appealing to them to cease all bilker
i ings, and stand ipanfully together in uAWiee
I of all that is dear to a people.
1
He is an eloquent speaker, and was inspired
by the associations which cluster around the
home of his birth and early manhood.
Hon. A. H. Stephens speaks to-night.
-MiLLEpOF.vn.LE. March 16, 1864.
The House was opened with prayer by Rev.
Mr. Flynn.
Mr. Rarabo moved to reconsider so much of
the journal as relates to the loss of a resolu
tion of complaint against the Comuijssioners J
of the Confederate Government to fix prices,
which motion prevailed.
Mr. Adams of Clark, moved to reconsider '
$3.50 Per Mouth.
the Senate resolution, prescibing the form of
Treasury notes to be issued under the act of
October lL’th. 186:3.
The Speaker decided the motion out of or
der, and on an appeal for his division, by Mr.
Adams, the chair was sustained.
The llukse took up the bill to amend the
several tax laws ot the .State. Mr. Adams of
fered a substitute, that the basis of the valu
ation of property be that of 1860, which was
lost, —ayes 50, nays, 68. Afterfurther amend
ment and di«cussion, tho bill passed.
It provided that property shall be assessed
according to its value in 1860, and that they
be paid in the new Confederate currency, or
in the old at odl per cent, discount. It ex
empts property overran by the enemy, from
taxation save of 1 cent per acre.
A bill for the relief of Wilcox county, pass
ed. It apjnopiates $4lB for the school mini
due that county.
A bill amendatory of the militia bill, passed.
It relates to exemptions, and adds one edi
tor and the necessary employees to each news
paper ; Tax Receivers, and Ministers in the
discharge of ministerial duty, to 1 lie exemp
tions of the bill ot the last session.
A bill to repeal the act of the last session,
allowing tho Macon and Western Railroad
company to increase its charges was discussed j
at great length, in which the clmrges of rail
roads were rather severely commented on.—
Pending the discussion, the House adjourned
to 3 o’clock P. M.
In tho Senate to-day, Mr. Pottle introduced
a set of resolutions, endorsing the action of
.Congress on the habeas corpus act, ami other j
measures.
The following measures were introduced : A
bill to incorporate the Merchants’ Insurance
Company in Columbus.
A bill ts incourage the fermatien of a volun-
teer navy.
A resolution in reference to the distribution
of the laws and journals, was adopted.
After reading up House bills, the Senate
adjourned until 3 o’clock, P. M.
From tiie Front. A correspondent of
the Atlanta Confederacy, writes from Dalton,
thus :
The troops have all been newly clad, and
present a very fine appearance.
To say that Gen. Johnston is idolized by
the array, is but to give a just idea of their
feelings for him.
The ai my has been ronovaled throughout.
The artillery has been organized into regiments
and placed under the command of skillful offi
cers, which will give new life and vigor to

old division.
Columbia, S. C., I eh. 22<1, 1884. —In obedience
to orders, I am on my way to duty with the army
of Tennessee. This involves a separation, ihe pain
of which can only he realized by those who have
fought and so fib red and bled together as we have
done. I derive consolation, however from ihe hope
that the interest oi the service will permit usagain
at no distant day, to he re-united.
Having witnessed the spirit and alacrity with
which you have performed the hard duties ol' the
soldier, your patience, endurance of fatigue and
suffering, and having marked with pride your
courage in battle, always the highest and most
unquailing when the odds were greatest and the
danger most appalling, I can assure you, my com
rades, that there is nothing treasured in the past,
nothing that hope can promise in the future, of
which 1 am or can ho prouder than to have com
manded such men.
Remember, too, that your achievements impose
upon you snperadded duties. Aon must not only
acquit yourselves as soldiers, but protect the fame
which you have won ; spurn as you ever have
done the base suggestion of safety and case when
your country is in danger. Safety is infamous,
danger alone is honorable, and while you recur to
the comforts and attractions of home, do m>t f.u
get that upon the line where you now stand, that
borne l>e it where it may, must be defended fumi
desolation.
A stern conflict is before us : other hardships
must I>e borne, other battles foughi aud other
bloodshed; but wo have nothing .to fear if we
only prove ourselves worthy of independence it
is ours, but our armies must deliver us. With
them we must blaze a highway through our ene
mies to victory and to peace. In the trials and
dangers that arc to conw, I know you will claim
an honorable share and win new titles to the ad
miration and love of your country ; and in the
midst of them, whether I am near you or far from
you, my heart will til ways be there; end when
this struggle is over, I shall look upon no -pe<-ta
cle with so much pleasure as upon my old com
rades, who have deserved so well of their country j
crowned with its blessings and encompassed by its
1,, vo. Respectfully,

[Extract.]
IV. It having • been reported to tho
General Commanding, that S. H. Wing
field, of Portsmouth, is ati avowed Seces*
siouist, and that he takes every opportuni
ty to disseminate his traitorous dogmas
much to the annoyance of his loyal neigh
bors, and that on one occasion at a place
of worship, while the prayer for tho Presi
dent of the United States was being road,
his conduct was such as to annoy and
disgust the. loyal portion of the congrega
tion, and believing a' wholesome example
is necessary for the benefit of Mr. Wing
field in particular, and the class in this
community he represents in general, men
of education and ability, who use the tal
ents God has given them for the purpose
of stirring up strife against the Govern
ment of the United States:
It is therefore ordered that the Pro
vost Marshal arrest Mr. S. H. Wingfield,
and that lie be turned over to Col. Saw
tellle, to work for three (3) months clean
ing the streets of Norfolk and Portsmouth
tlius employing his time for the benefit of
that Government he has abused, and in a
small way atone for his disloyalty and
treason.

A Pi©|)lietk Advertisement.
iYo find tho following advertisement in a
Mansachusectts paper of February, 1861.
That was before Lincoln’s inauguration.—
How truthful hnd prophetic the words of this
honest and pluophetic old farmer have now
proved, in the terrible realities which have
since transpired:
FOR SALE.
A FARM, containing ninety-five acres or
more of good land, situated, or located,
right in sight of Amherst College, w ithin one
and a quarter of mile.
Also, one half of a saw'mill, at the mouth
of Midler’s River, in Montague.
If J C. Breckinridge bad been chosen Pre
sident my property would have been worth
Eight Thousand Dollars; but now since Lin
coln lias been chosen President, I want to sell
out and go away. 1 want to go away from
Abolitionism---away from Maine Law-ism--
away from Neal Dow-ism—-away from Aristo
eratism. 1 want to go away from all Section
alism. 1 ,want In go into some country wliero
‘men are kind to each other —where men love
““"L other—-where nicti are thankful aud hon
est to each fttin-r. i don’t want to go into a
country where men make Hobby horses out
of Abolitionism and Neal Dowism to ride into
office on. *
1 want to go into a country where men feel
as men felt about the time that Jefferson, Mad
■ ikon, Washington, Adams and others when
I they signed the Conssitulion of (lie United
1 States, 1 want to go into some country where
| men feel us men felt about I lie time that Put
nam, -Warren, Washington, nud Stark signed
ihe Declaration of Independence. I should
love to go into some country and live with
men that feel as the old honest hearted sol
diers felt in tho time of the American Revo
lution. I should love to go and live with
them by day, and go and sleep with them in
their Tents by Night. L should love to stand
up with them shoulder to shoulder on the bat
tle ground. I remember what they have
done for us. I remember them with respect and
esteem. But alas! by faction and sedition
the wall of Jerusalem fell; and by abolition
ism and Neal Dowism our walls (Union. Lib
erty and the Old Constitution) fall and crum
ble to dust.
A voice from the South—a voice from the
West—a voice from the East—a voice from
the North—a voice from the four Winds—al
ready begins to cry Wo—Wo—Wo—to our
Union—our Liberty—our country, and our
Countrymen.
In civil war rich men and poor men will
tumble together, and dead men will be piled
up in heaps.
The Old Democrat wants to sell out and
go away.

The Hertford Times exhumes the above pro
phetic advertisement from the columns a Bos
ton paper, of nearly three years ago. That
man had a proper conception of the people by
whom he was surrounded, and felt it bo his
safety to get out of their way at the earliest
moment
When this old patriot published his adver
tisement, no doubt the whole gang of this de
stroyers giggled at his stupidity, and denoun
ced him ns disloyal. Now what have these
men got to say ?
