The rebellion is reduced to the remainder
Of Virginia, part Of North Carolina, the
larger part of. South Carolina, all of Geor-
gia, Alabama and Mississippi, and small |
portion of Louisiana and tennessee; Tex
as and Arkansas, as said before being
cut Off Why i draw strong hopes from
this is that their supplies all came either
from Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Ar
kansas or Texas, and these are completely
now beyond their reach. 10 that look
large Y for the suppression OF this REBEL
lion, and the overthrow of this revolution
They have got to the end of their con-
scription-we have not begun ours. They
have got to the end of their national cred
tive have not put ours IN any mar
ket in the world. Applause. Why
should we be impatient? The Revolution
airy war lasted seven years. Nations at
war ever move slowly.
Gen. Butler referred al length TO the
course of the British Government, espec-
ially in permitting vessels TO be fitted out
in their ports for the rebels, and oQnclud-
ed his speech as follows
Why is it all this has been done Be

my Judgment, deliberate attempt on the
bart of Great Britain, under the plea of
neutrality, to allow our commerce to be

idle TO tell me Great Britain does not
know these vessels are fitted ont IN her
ports. 1t is idle and insulting to tell YOU
that she put the Alabama under S2O,000
/ bonds to 90 into the service Of the Conteder-
ate States. We did not so deal with her
when she was at war with Russia. On
the suggestion of the British Minister, eur
! Government stopped, with the rapidlty Of
4 lightring, the sailing Of steamer, until
the Minister himself was willing to let her

. stop to these proceedings. | was told the

and when our Government gets ready to
take the step we must be ready to support
it. E0gIand tells US what TO do; when
there was a likelihood of war she stopped
the expectation of those articles she thought
we wanted. Let us do the same thing
