Mr.. Beecher's Speech in Liverpool.

The following is an extract of letter from
a New Yorker in Liverpool:
q went last night TO hear Mr. Beecher
speak. There had been glaring handbills
posted about the streets to Incite the passions
Of ignorant people against him, such as quo
tations from the Hadetaadent at the time of the
Trent affair. The house was denseIy crowd
ed, and the southern sympathizers appeared
to be in the majority, although many think
they were not. Never was a public speaker
greeted with such an outrageous volley of
abuse and insult as was poured out on him
Yet he stood erect and bold az lion, and he
shouted out his word. at the top Of his voice,
as it was absolutely necessary he should do
to be heard at all.
= His New England accent in certain wor Is
was mimicked, 10 the great amusement of his
opponents Wooden hams and nutmegs were
cried out against him, and all sorts of insult
ing questions were screamed out, but he went
on without regarding them.
- never was adlnirer of Beecher be-
fore but | am now. 4 man who can stand
up in q foreign country, before thousands who
thoroughly detest him and his cause and
speak as he spoke, is certainly something of
a hero

Battle Flags of Wisconsin al the North West
eFR Fair,
( From the Chicago Journal.

From the Chicago Journal.
Noble witnesses of the valor of WiscoB-
sins brave sons, their tattered, torn and
shapeless fabrics, displayed on the west wall
OF the Hall, are eloquent of stirring scenes
and trigEtful havoc. Shot and shell have
done their work upon them, and their brief
remnants have become part and Parcel of
the history of the great rebellion. It their
distgured stars and broken stripes could only
speak of those conflicts that have taken II lace
under their shadow, could recte the fearful
hand-to-hand encounters, the deadly struggles
that, alas, viii never be written, what deeds
OF valor what heroic sacrifices would be their
theme.
Here is the regimental flag of the Wiscon-
sin 1st, or rather the wreck of it, as it came
from the battle of Chaplin Hills, where the
yalOr of Wisconsin volunteers was sealed
with blood. Everybody hereabouts remem-
bers that noble regiment as it marched thro
Chicago, a I.nOle band of stdlwart men under
the leadership OF the brave Starkweather.-
There were cIapping OF hands, shouts of vel
come, hurrahs and other demonstrations of
admiration, that regiment, in solid column,
bearing the flag that We now see, then spot
less, now torn and bloody, marched through
our streets.
Next we observe the no less famous re-
mains of the Second Wisconsin regimental
flag, consecrated to posterity by the blood
and carnage of fourteen battles \ mere rem
nant, only, remains the azure field of stars
a broken staff and a few inches of tattered
stripes. Looking upon that silent monitor of
deeds, we mentally inquire, whore are the
legions that first carried it when it was new
and unstained: There are nearly one thou
sand graves on the fourteen battlc-felds that
furnish their grim answer. The Iron Brig
ade,' iron in viii and courage, was but mortal
after all, and wars missiles have worked sad
havoc in its serred ranks.
And so Of the Tenth Wisconsin, with Chap
lin Hills and Stone River inscribed upon its
tattered folds; and so of the Seventeenth,
that gallant regiment Of Irishmen, which bap-
tized its fealty to adopted country on the
bloody field of Corinth. Rapidly recruited
and equipped, II was dispatched to rebeldom,
undrilled, arriving at Corinth the day before
the battle.# II has passed into history how
those brave men, who had never fired a round
even upon drill, were sent to the front to be
initiated in that terrible lesson which they
learned only after their ranks had been fear
fully decimated.
And there are the torn cOlors of the gallant
Sixth, than which a nobler regiment has not
left Wisconsin. All that the iron storm of
five terrible battles has left of the colors of
the Sixth is suspended upon the wall, an elo-
quent though silent record of bravery.
: This is erroneous 1t was the 18th Wis
consin which was sent into the battle of Shi-
loh the day after reaching GRANTS army

4 MILITARY REFUBLIC.-By the census Of

in the United States. OF these 2oQoo, 600
belong 10 the loyal states, one half OF whom,
or 10000. 900 are males. OF these males 81
per cent. are between the ages of - and Is
making $500, 600 of our arms bearing popu-
lation. These loyal states have sent I,S5o,-
b0G uen to the field, or slightly over to :
of all between the ages of 20 to Is! And
vet we have enough left to whip out the re
belliou and carry forward the great interests
of the country, As ltno war was on onr hands,
L was not thought possible that Republic
could be = military nation; but the fact as
now demonstrated i not the most encourar-
in- q foreign nations. All they have TO do,
however, Is TO maintain a strict neutrality
during the war, respect our loEis after the
war, and maintain a decent respect for the
rights of the American continent, to insure
our peaceabIe disposition.
