to the chair that patriotic veteran, Col. JOHN NJ.
SHARP, who spoke Of its objects. Of the interests
Of the South, Of our duty to ourselves and no
one who heard him upon the occasion could
doubt either the propriety and sincerity of his

who uttered them had once though advanced in
lie, left the comforts of q wealthy home to
share the hardships Of soldiers life and to fall
bleeding in defence of our Gag in distant land.

pure devotion to the South, and hurling back
proud defiance to the traitor band, who for thei
