MS RULE IN NEW ORLEANS.
When left the Department of the
Gulf | sat down and deliberately put in
the form of an address to the people of
that department the executive acts | had
done, and l said 70 them, "You know |
have done these things" have now
waited more than three months and
have yet to hear a denial from that de-
partment that these things were done.
(Cheers) To that can point as a JUS
tification Of your (the Mayor's) too dat
tering eulogy, and as an answer 20 every
slander and every calumny uttered
against me. The ladies of New Orleans
know whether they were safe under my
administration of the government of that
city. Has any Oitc of them ever said she
was not? The men of New Orleans
know whether lie and liberty were safe.
Has any man ever said they were not.
The poor of New Orleans know whether
they were fed upon the means taken from
the rich rebels. Has any man denied
thaH (Cheers) To that record point.
1t may be the only answer that shall
ever make to the calumnies that have
been uttered against me and mine.
(Cheers.)
PROGRESS OF OUR ARMs.
/ desire to say a single word on an
other subject--On what are the prOspec Is
Of this war. II will do you no good to
give my opinion, simply because it would
be very much like the opinion Of another
man but | will show you a reason for
the faith that is in nae that this war is
progressing to q successful termination.
Compare the state of the country as il
was on the LIST Of January, 1868, with its
state on the 1st of January, 1862, and
tell me if progress has not been made.
On the lst of January, 1862, the Union
arms held no considerable portion of
Missipsippi, no considerable portion Of
Kentucky, mo considerable portion of Ten
nessee, none of Virginia, except Fortress
Monroe and Arlington Heights; none of
South Carolina, except Port Royal. All
the rest was ground in struggle, at least,
and was regularly furnishing supplies 10
the rebels. Now the rebels hold none of
Missouri, none of Kentucky, none of
Tennessee for any valuable purposes of
supplies, because the Western part is in
our hands, and the Eastern part has been
so overrun by contending armies that all
its supplies have been exhausted. They
hold no portion of Virginia valuable for
supplies; and that is not eaten out
by their armies. We hold one third Of
Virginia and one-half of North Caro-
lima. We hold our own in South Caroli-
ma, and hope we shall, before the 11th
of this month, hold little more. (En-
thusiastic cheering) We hold two-thirds
of Louisiana in point of wealth and pop
ulation. We hold all Arkansas and all
Texas, so far as supplies are concerned,
so long as Admiral Farragut is between
Port Hudson, and Vicksburg. (Applause)
And l believe the colored troops hold
Florida by last accounts. daughter
aud applause.) Now let us see TO what
the rebellion has been reduced. To the
remainder of Virginia, part Of North
Carolina, the largest part of South Caro-
lima, all Georgia, Alabama, and Missis-
sippi, a small portion of Louisiana and
Tennessee--Texas being, as said before
cut of. Now We draw strong hope from
this as the rebel supplies came princi-
pally either from Kentucky, Tennessee,
Missouri, Arkansas or Texas, and these
sources are now comparatively beyond
their reach. To this fact look largely
for the suppression of the rebellion and
the overthrow Of revolution. They have
come TO the end of their conscriptiOn
we have not begun ours. (Laughter.)
They have come TO the end of their ma
tional credit, we have not put ours in
any market in the world. (Applause)
And why should any man be disappoint.
ed a.? Why should any man say that
this great work has gone along too slow ?
Why should any man feel impatient /
have shared in that impatience myself
and was saying 10 friend but the other
day, when | saw that our navy did not
catch the steamer Alabama, that there
must be something wrong in tho Navy
Department but was reminded how
Paul Jones, with a single vessel, set the
whole navy of England at defiance and
worked his will upon the English coast,
and that Lord Cochrsne, with a single
ship, kept the whole French coast in ter
ror against tho entire French navy.
ENGLISH SYMPATHY WITH REBRLs.
There has been nothing 10 the Union
cause that English orators and states
men have not maligned; nothing that We
have done, not perverted by the press;
while there has been nothing Of sympa-
thy OF encouragement not afforded 70 our
enemies Nassau has been the naval
arsenal for pirate rebel boats TO reiit in;
Kingston has been their coal depot, and
Barbados has been the hall 10 feis the
pirate chieftians. What cause has Eng
land 80 20 deal with US! What is the
reason that she has never shown sympa-
fhv or love towards US? / draw a wide
distinctions between the English people
as a mass and the English government.
/ think the heart OF the people beats re-
sponsiye 20 US; but ! know that their
government and aristOcracy bate rs with
hate that passeth all understanding.
To day at Birkenhead the Sumter is be-
ing fitted out; at Barbados the captain
Of the Florida is being Jelei; the 300
that cabalastic number of English mer-
chants who contributed 10 construct her
lis preying upon our commercei and we
/ hear that at Glasgow steamer IS being
built for the Emperor Of China, and at
Liverpool another has been launched for
the same Emperor. But do not think
the Emperor Of China will buy many
ships from the English till they bring
back the silk gowns they stole out Of hi,
palace at Pekiu, (Laughter) Referring
