| It would be superfuous 70 say that
there was an immense crowd at the Wig
wan last night to hear Col Jaquess
The capacity Of that Government
building" with the addition just added
was fully tested, and It hardly flied the
contract Had the evening been pleas
ant, large numbers would have been ez-
clgded, not BY bayonets, but by the i'm
possibility Of fading room within that
spacious Temple Of Freedom.
A large minority Of the crowd was
composed Of ladies, whom we are glad
10 see rallying with such lively interest
to the standard Of their country.
The Crescent City Band, as usual,
made magnificent music, and the Glee
Club added their share 70 please and
delight the audience
Rev. Col Jsquess was introduced to
the audience by Mr. John s Hopkins
and vas greeted with loud and prolonged
applause. HThT14 Ia
Col Jaquess is not only pleasant, bpt
an eloquent speaker, and his speech was
replete With interest and instruction.
We have not the time, space or abilitk
to give the speech 10 our readers, nor "a
il necessary, as nearly al the city was
out 70 hear him.
We have never heard more interest
ing speech or one which we felt came
more deeply from the heart Of the
speaker.
We have known Col Jaqusss for
many years and we know him to be
man Of deep toned and earnest piely,
and bis declarations may be fully cred
tied. 4
We have taken very full notes Of this
speech and if we shall find time TO write
then out, will give a portion Of his re-
Inarks 10 ous readers hereafter.

perfectly spell bound, no speech was ever
listened to more atten6gely or with !
deeper interest
