ELOQUENT ExrRAcr.--Wc copy the following
passage from the new work, "The Old House by
the River"
Go preach to blocks and stones, ye who believe
that love is Of the clay Go preach TO the dead,
We who deny the Immortality Of the affections. Go
reason with trees or hills, or images of wood, or
with your own motionless, hfeless icy souls, 70
who believe that, because there Is no marrying
wonder, there shall be no embracing, or because
we may not use the gentle words my wife" we
may not clasp these sanctifed forms in our own
holy arms tell you, man. that immortality would
be glorious cheat IL with our clay died all our
first affections. tell you that annihiation would
be heaven, IL believed that when my head at
length rests on It's coffin pillow, and my lips sink
to the silence and repose Of death, these loving
eyes win never look into mine again, this pure
clasp never be around my neck, this holy caress
never bless me more

GENERAL McCALLA IN PoRrsnoUrB.--General
McCslls, according 10 appointment, addressed the
citizens Of Portsmouth on Friday evening, on the
principles Of the American party. The old Depot
OF the Scaboard and Roanoke Railroad, on High
street. was comfortably arranged and decorated
with American flags. The American party and
barge concourse fcitizens Joined 10 the procession
headed by the Pennsylvanias Band, with banners
flying, and marched 70 the Macon House, and es-
corted the speaker TO the Depot The enthusiasm
and interest was intense, and vividly brought TO
our minds the days OF 1910. The procession was
the largest ever witnessed In Portsmouth The
building was densely crowded, and must have con-
tanned J, 500 persons.
The General ably expounded the objects and
principles Of the American party, which was re-
ceived with great applause by his hearers The
fact OF the General having always been Demo
crat, and knowing all the corruptions and wire
workings OF the Locofocos, added force and truth
TO his Arguments, and commanded the attention Of
his audience. His speech had happy effect. II
aroused the American party 70 greater energy and
enthusiasm.
4 The General was escorted back 10 the hotel by a
large procession, and made few remarks from
the portico Of the hotel--Norfotk Beacon.
