Mr.. Stephens escorted to his seat by Mayor May
and number Of distinguished gentlemen. Judge
Stearns presided and introduced the eloquent orator
to those who 80 anxiousy awaited his remarks- He
spoke as follows; s.He#
Mr.. Chairman, Indies aud Gentlemen of Richmond
County: appear before yon to-day in the discharge Of
a duty assigned me by tie Confederate Congress.

that the subjects upon which am 10 address you to-

plaItersinteresng all alike. The questions involved
are questions which all alike. They involve
the peace OF the couDtryher political and social ex-
istenee. ALL therefore, do well to be here We are
involved in war-tbe most important war that the
country has been involved ia snce the revolution
Of onr fathers-snce American Independence was de-
cared We have had many wars since. We have had
Indian with the different tribes; we had small
French war; we have had q second war with the
mother country. Many, perhaps, who hear me to-day
were engaged in that conflict. But this Is war Tar
transcending every other war; in magnitude and con-
sequencethe consequences that will result from it.
REMINDS THEM THAT SOLDIERS MUST BE
CLOTHED AND PED.
Ny business to-day to unfold to You the exgencies
of this war and its requirements The Congress- IL is
known 10 you, prov ded for raising 10000 men.
Nobly calamity and periodically has that call been
responded 70, aud il being responded to. Thou
sands and tens Of thousands Ithe exact number am
not now able to state to yo have gone 70 the battle
field. Tnese men, however, must be clothed they
must be fed; they must be armed they must be
equipped. Wars can be sustained not by men alone;
It requires men and money. The gallant volunteers
have responded on their part. The questions upon
which 10 address You to-day relate to the import
ance Of raising the necessary amounts Of money TO meet
these regulations.
Upon The adjournment of the Congress from Mont
zomery 70 Richmond the estimate for 100 900 men
for the frst fiscal year.
THINKS PIPTY MILLIONS LARGE AMOUNT-IN
QUANDARY.
The amount estimated by the Secretary Of the
Treasury meet the requirements to support an army
of this number was $50 600 000a large amount This
amount must be raised. How 10 do IT, Is the question
But since that adjournment since that estimate this
war has assumed wider and broader range. IL has
taken on larger and gigantic proportions, and IN
stead Of l00, 600 men, we may have 10 SEND %DO,-
600 10 meet the enemy; instead OF 81, WD,0OO, we
may have, aud The probability that we shall have
TO raise 500 coo 00O; and IL may be- II II goes ON and
insreases that shall have TO rase more. The es-
innate however Of the Secretary OF the Treasury was
$50 00J 600, and whatever number OF men and what
ever amouat Of money shah be necessary must be
raised. We do not Intend to be subiugsted. Mr.
Lincoln has increased hi. call from $1,000 to 100000
men, He has increased his demand for money from
the IS 900 goo frs: asked for THE amount do not ex-
acty recolleet) and asks his Congress, now Ia ses-
son for 500 100. Whether he will raise hs men
or bis money know not. All have TO cay about IL
is that IL b. raises his 900 men, we must raise
enough 10 meet him. and if ne raises his $500 eco GOO,
we must raise enough to meet 1t.

we intend 70 be oyerriden asd beaten down and sub

every boy and every woman--be prepared TO 40 our
