HALIFAX, Jan. rs, 1870.
Mcssrs. Editors According 10 appointment, Mr..
Wise to-day addressed The people vi thit county
The notice had been short, and the day wns not fnv"-
rabIe 10 n full turn out; YET the Cour; house, a build
inc Of considerable capacity, was well filled. He
snnke rather longer than two hours, during wHic!i
rine scarcely a person changed position; and but
fnr tho varied and delightful irtunatio,s Of the
sncokcr's voice, and tho occasional out b~ursting OF
nrpulau.c, one dead and universal silence rrigncd
| throughout the building.
Rui frY nrrsons of Halifax had ever seen Mr.. Wise
before. uud something of the profound attention is
a.cr;t,rhlr IN TINT: but only mn orator of superior cx-
| ccllcucc could hive commanded I'M: audience n h.
did. The speech was n brilliant effort, and made II
deep impression. All persons oi all parties anu tSmS
frequently chimed il. 10 swell the volume oi applause,
and nil united in general admiration nj the orof"r.
He gave n clear and manly exposition al 'is views
upon NIL the prominent questions ol pOllcE, Do'n S!ni'
and federal; and ii any Democrat differed from nm
unon INV point, all admired the bo!tucsS ana lii'.c-
pcndcrrn will which hc nvnwcd his opinions, anu me
elevated tone, and LOFTY bearing generally, al me
man. lIis views upon federal politics met the hearty
concurrence of every Democrat. Upon some MINOR
questions of State policy, some. no doubt, differed
from him: but not one. il il believed, will allow that
difference to influence his vote.
After he had given full expression to his views upon
all political questions, and seemed like drawing to n
close. he paused. and. with n felicity of language and
manner beyond all description, he said he had got
through most he had to say, and he thought 1t waa
probable there were not ten men III me Assembly
who were not disappointed, ana were not Saying l"
themselves. well he has said almost every uililE
hrt what | came To hear. | camc to hear INN tax
nhout the h now- .N0things!' He then devoted thirty
minutes or more, To that gloomy order. To ii" any
thing Ike justice 10 this part OF me discourse; The
writer must be another Henry a. Wise. Ii will not
be ATTEMPTED. 1t has been II part OF the fortune of
the writer of this, which h. has ever priced. 10 hear

STEAMBOATS, BURNED.-The St. Louis
Republican notices the loss Of two more
steamers. The Huntsville No. 2, a Ten
nessee river packet, was burned ten miles
from Sa vannah, on the river of the same
name, on the night Of the oath ult. This
was one of the largest and finest boats in
the cotton trade No lives were lost.
The steamer Americas was burned be-
low Grggsville, while on trip to Peoria.
The fire caught in the ladies' cabin, and BY
the time she could be run ashore the flames
had completely developed her. NO lives
were lost, but the passengers barely escaped
with life, having lost all their bagga &c and
effects.

The Election To-day.

We hope no trivial consideration, such
as caused SO many to neglect voting on last
Saturday, will prevent them to-day exer-
cising that right. We feel that there is
more at stake on the present occasion, and
that it is the duty of every Temperance vo-
ter to aid in the election OF men who will
enforce the Iowa Prohibitory Law. Now
that the law is passed, let us show to its ad-
versaries that il can be enforced. We hope
occasion will not be given for the re-enact-
ment of such scenes as occurred on last
Saturday night.
