THE EVENING NEWS.


lion. at the Headquarters of the Second
Ward Union Club, the Hall was densely
packed, several ladies grazing the scene
with their presence. The lady was in
troduced by the President of the Club,
and was received with hearty welcome.
Miss Stanton is quite progressing IN
appearance, of pleasant address, and
speaks with an easy and assured manner.
from notes spread before her. There is a
peculiar sadness in the intonatlon OF her
voice. that at once attracts the sympathleS
of her audience. In the course OF the
lady's remarks we gathered that she was
rxIled from her home-kentuCky-b the
rebels. Early in the struggle, that wit
Messing so much suffering on the part OF
our brave soldiers wounded in battle, her
womanlv sympathieS became aroused. and
one day askingthe surgeon OF a hospital
if she could not be of some service 10 the
suffering brave, was informed that she
could do many kindncsSeS, from that day
for many months Miss Stanton became
an attendant at the various hospitals
and battle fields, never wearying in well
doing. Her sketches Of scenes in the hos
pitfalls were most affecting, and the descnp-
tons of the battle OF Pittsburg Landing
was vivid in the extreme. She paid trib-
ute TO many women who, forSaking luxu-
r;ous homes and pleasant fireSides, in
field, camp and hospital, begrimmed with
dirt and worn down with exhaustion,
labored night and day, and bound up the
wounds OF the injured soldiers; and in
rar-sn,,lar he nn,,r1,r,a,,ra,l 80 ~
Major Anderson, of Fort Sumter MEM
DRY, who, for eight months, labored in the
hospitals twelve hours each day; also.
Mrs. Major Reynolds, who was breveted
~ the battle of Shiloh for meritorious con-
duct. The lady declared that it was only
question Of time as TO the subduing Of
the rebellion; that it was 4 question OF
permanent national existence, and that
Northern hosts would never cease the
struggle, would accept OF no compro-
mise, would agree 10 no terms, until
this unholy. cruel and wicked rebellion
was crushed forever. Here the audience
became almost wild with excitement. and
vented their enthusiasm in three hearty
cheers.) Miss Stanton paid glowing
tribute 10 Sheridan, the hero of an hun
bred hard fought and victorious battles,
as one of whom the Pacific coast might
well be proud. At the close OF her re-
marks liberal sum of money was donated
by the crowd to pay expenses. The
Virginia Glee Club, upon repeated calls,
sang an appropriate air in their unap-
proachable style. Hon. John y. Collins
made some brief remarks. which were well
received, and an invitation was extended
10 Miss Stanton TO address our people soon
in some more eligible place where all could
hear. We trust the time and place will
be soon determined, for we believe that no
one listening to the speakers history ofthe
cruelty and wickedneSs Of this rebellion,
can for moment WAIVER in their support
of an unconditional Union. We would
also suggest to the Union Club of Gold
Hill. that they extend an invitation to
Miss Stanton to visit and address their
Club. The meeting adjourned with three
rousing cheers for Lincoln and Johnson,
and three cheers and tiger for the speaker.
