applause.) Bot, gentlemen, you must not allow
yourselves to be deceived into the idea that this
is not great rebellion. In my humble iudg.
ment It is greater than It was six months ago.
So far from the resources Of the enemy being
exhausted, they are greater; and I will tell you
Why. The Southern people are, as We Yankees
are apt to call them, the most shiftless men in
the world. There is naturally an entire lack Of
Of system in all they do, and in consequence,
for six months after the rebellion broke out ev.
erything was lying around loose Though they
lost the principal part of the beef which came
from Texas, the great supply Of grain, and al
though they have expended . greater part of
their munitions Of war, Jet this il what they
have done instead: they have organised and
systematized themselves, their Government and
all the various Offices military and civil. under
the Government, 60 that though they WELD .

greater velocity, as bullet, issuing from rife
