In our edi n Of the sth inst, we published
a apscial telegram from Norfolk, In which
reference was made to speech from the Hon.
Alfred Ely, recently delivered in the city OF
New York. Apprehsnding that our readers
would like to hear further from this gentle
man In connection with his captivity in
Richmond, as well as his views of the war
now going on, we transfer to our columns,
from the Herald, the following report of a
speech made by him to a delegation Of citi-
sens which waited on him Immediately after
his arrival in that city:
Mr.. Ely responded IN a conversational
tone. He remarked that between himself
friendship existed. No one could doubt for
q moment the Ooloners bravery or the self.
sacrincs evincsd by him in his present try
Ing condition. He regretted to say that ne
Colonel Uorcoran as . hostage for Smith; and
he ventursd to say that il there was any
hanging to be done the Colonel would be the
frst to suffer. He also said that the Colon Ell
saw him, and he hoped the day was not
far distant when he would be restored to his
family.
The delegation then withdrew with hearty
expressions for the welfare of MT. Ely, who
shortly after appeared on the frat landin &
OF thu hotel, and addressed those assembled
below a. follows:

longed confinement, 10 so conduct myself

ton, the treatment shown me by my captors
has been ali tnat could look for under the
circumstances, and my release was attended
with courtssies which I can never forget
Yet language cannot express with which, in
common with nay fellow prisoners IN the
Richmond tobacco factory, watched the
"door that looksth toward the NorIh," and
gladly caught every sympathetic message
from q free press aud loyal people; nor Can

back upon the rebel capital and the nag
which misguided PEOPLE would subs,itu t.
