air, and suavc address WINS no doubt
fully appreciated by the highly intelli-
gent audience, cpccioly those who had
visited the stand befure mentioned, aud
now rodded assent, because they coldn1
hold their heads still. Congressman
Noble went on TO impress his auditors
with the idea that he knew long ago that
this rebellion could never be put down.
"Our army has accomplished nothing

Upon the whole II was not a spirited af-

all the maledictions were reserved for

Davis would have been pleased had he
been present. But so little enthusiasm
was manifest, aud the thunder was so
feeble that we have NO fears that its ssho
