THE SOUTHERN CHIVALRY.

(From the SAreneport Sentinel, April 27.)
We attended the mass meeting held yesterday to the ;
Courthouse..square of this city, sod lime only space for a ,
short and imperfect sketch of the proceedings. Governor ,
Allen commenced them by an eloquent Manse, in which
he endeavoured to show that the cease of the South was by
no means desperate or hopeless, and at the cocelosion of hie ,
address read a series of resolutions to the same effect from ,
• committee appointed for that purpose by a preliminary
meeting held a few days ago. General Harry T. Hays, the
Bayard of Louisiana, then followed, in a calm, temperate and
mat eloquent speech, every word of which, it wee easily per-
°saved, cisme direct from his manly aod patriotio heart, in
whisk he too took the seine view of the Muslim as his
predecessor (Governor Allen). General Hawthorne, of
Arkansas, was then inttodared to the meeting, and de.
livered a very fiery address, appealing frequently to the
feelings of the 'oldies', who formed much the lama
portion of his audience, and eliciting from them, of course,
frequent rounds of noisy applause. General Hawthorne
took advantage of the occasion, and in the presence of
General Smith, to give him several hints, as he termed
them, me of which was to constitute every officer and
soldier of his brigade an enrolling officer. to force into the
army every man who, according to their judgment, ought
to be in it. Colonel llussesof Missouri followed General
Hawthorne in an edam' somewhat to the same
effect, though in a meek more subdued time.
Colonel Flournoy of Texas then took the Mend, sod made
a most eloquent, but, as we think, io some respects, rather
uncharitable sod ill•judged address. He too frequently
appealed to the feelings of his soldier auditory, and re-
ceived their hearty concurrence in his views. The Coked
°occluded hie orating by a glowing pmegyrio upon Booth,
the eassasin of Hr. Lincolo, whom he compared to Brutus,
' the slayer of Caner, and predicted for him (Booth) a like
and enduring fame. Several other speakers followed whom
we did not hear. We setieed smog the celebrities of the
meeting General B. Kirby Smith, General Price, General
6 Buckner and Governor Repaid', and there were. doubtless,
other distinguished gentlemen whom we did not know.

ALRIANDRA ORPHANAGE TOR INFANTS. —The
hit annual meeting of the subscribers to and supporters
of this institution was held yesterday at the London Coffee-
house, Ludgate-hill, Mr. Robert liaabnry, M.P., in the
chair. The report, after coagratelating the committee on
the kind patronage bestowed on the institution by their

Tbe committer oi the working school orphanage had ren-
dered much aid, mil four of its nee-president' were amongst
the meet liberal mobocracies to the Alexandra Orphanage.
The chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, ob-
served it was evident that the excellent honorary secretary
did not belong to the racing part of the oommunity, else be
would not have fixed sueb a day for their meeting. He (the
chairmae) had greet pleasure in presiding at their gathering.
and he hoped the efforts which were being made would lead
to favourable results. They were aware that the Alexandra
Orphanage wan but an offspring of the permit institution at
Steenbok. In the latter establishment children under
serge years of age were not admitted, sad, therefore, it was
advisable to make some provision for children of more tender
years, and resolutions were passed expressing satisfaction at
the progress of the institution, and thanking the chairman
end others for their liberal support.
