Color Guard came up in front Of
the Regiment, near the speakers
stand, when he addressed them as
follows
! Your Sergeant, G. ". Oyerstreet,
has been nominated by Col. Full
ton, as Ensign, and your Corporals,
r. J. D Cant, ". L. Woodruff, e.
e. Cullum, r. T. .Stegall, G. w.
Tunstall, G. NJ. Ray, L. Croft, and
IL. c. Cotton, as Color Guard for
this Regiment. Do you and each
Of you accept the position assigned
to you? 70 which they replied
they did,
| Addressing himself to the En-
sign and Color Guard, the speaker
said:-Then | am directed by Col.
Fulton to place in your hands
this Banner. While it is true that
your position is the most danger
Gus, it is at the same time the most
honorable, if YOU properly dis
charge your duty. By day and by
might, it will be yonr duty to guard,
protect, and defend the coIors with
argus eyes and sleepless vigilance.
Whether weshall be surprised by
1.-THE enemy at midnight, or meet
him in pitched battle in the open
day, it is your duty to rally around
the colors; and while the missiles Of
death fly thick around your ears
land the balance Of your comrade;
are sending back the missiles o.
death in the face of the enemy
you with your pieces well loaded
must reserve your fire fer the pro
lection of the colors. But wher
the mighty rush is made by the
Ienemy to capture your Banner, Oh
drive you from the field, it viii bt
your duty to stand, protect, anc
defend it, and die rather than sur
render orrctreat. It would be bet
ter that you, and all Of lis should
die III defence of this sheet, thar
that it should fall into the hands
Of the enemy, or be disgraced by {
icowardsy retreat. In either event
q shout Of triumph would go VI
from the enemy's ranks more ter
rife to your ears than even the roal
of hattie. Then doyour duty vel
and be sure OF your reward.
Then placing the Banner in the
hands Of the Ensign, the speaker
retired, and the Colouel took com
Imand Of the Regiment.

at all as il could we'll be. With the rapidity
with which it is now dissolving, suoh power
as it may possess or such degree OF respect
as IL may command, two months hence, will
be very iriaing and iasig niicant indeed. Its
the OCCASION OF very reasonable fear, on the
part Of many experienced and patriotic mon
that the whole government and constitution
of the country may become 80 disintegrated
under the influence and in company with the
Executive department, that the maintenance
of il, in its substantial integrity, or tho suc-
cessful re-construction Of il, may prove i'm
possible, under the wisest and most energetic
counses. There is reason to fear; but
believe there is yet loyalty in the land to
furnish adequate ground for hope and cend-
dence. II there be any weakened Repub-
lican who is revolving the question in his
mind whether or not it would have been bet
ter to have forborne tho effective expression
OF his honest sentiments, let him also ask
himself the question whether the country has
been rescued one moment too soon from the
hands of suoh a company Of traitors, imbe-
olas and oorruptionists as it il now shown
to have been in the possession Of also, how
long, in such hands, it could have survived,
in any emergency, or survived in form
which every honest man would not have
learned to scorn and dctest.
Is is said, as the telegraph has publicly re-
ported, and as is generally believed here, that
the President has stated to Democratic
Senator, AZ An excuse for not sending troops
10 the relief Of the little band 10 Fort MouI-
trie, that he would be assAssinated 10 the
White House. think il he could do any
thing at ell to get himself assassinated, it
would be some small degree of relief from
the otherwise unalleviated shame that the
historian will accord to the closing era Of
his administration, and would be the best
service that he could render his country, since
he cannot be persuaded to resign.
The compromise committees in both houses
are getting on slowly; and the hope that they
will do any substantial thing 10 feeble in
deed. In fact, 1t would hardly seem rs if
there was anything that they could do, be-
yond gaining time, which is considered inn
ortant,-except to apologize for the recent
popular declaration to degree which will
completely satisfy the most ultra slavery
propagandists, and that there is no danger
Of any Republican consentingto. The House
COMMITTEES will probably report something
which the Republicans all will agree to, but
to which no Southern members except those
from border States will consent, and they
with reluctance. The only fruit Of the oom-
mittees seems likely to be the more compact
consolidation and agreement Of our own
friends on the committees and in the two
houses.

Mr.. Hooper, secession commissioner from
Alabama to propagate treason in Missouri,
made speech at jefferson City, Of which the
following il an extract:
The Republican party proposes to copfne
slavery to the Southern States, and this
would have the effect OF cansing an increase
OF slaves in the Southern States which would
prove extremely dangerous. Under the pol.
icy OF the Republican party, the time would
arrive when the scenes Of San Domingo and
Hayti, with all their attendant horrors,
would be re enacted in tho slavch Gliding
States.
The argument is, simply, that slavery il
so utterly opposed to the peace Of society and
the order OF nature, that it will inevitably
explode and desolate the land with all con.
ceivab!e horrors unless it is spread abroad
over the country.
When California applied for admission
as y free State, secession Was threatened
and the North was forced down on it's hunk
ers to avert disunon by concession and com
promise. And nov when Kansas can b
kept out Of the Union DO longer BY peacefu
means, the North 10 once more called upAj

dissolution Of the Union. The doughgace
are anxious to submit to their masters; bu
