Speaking of horse cars reminds me of an
incident that occurred in one a few days since,
in which oolored people were admitted The
car was filed, and among the passengers
were Senator Sumnery the champion Of con
traband rights, in the cars, and Lazarus W.
Powell, the pro slavery Peace Senator from
Kentucky. Two coored ladies entered Mr.
Sumner did not see them. Mr. Powell, with
great courtesy, arose and surrendered his
seat to one OF the ladies' in bahAlf of whose
rights Mr. s. had been so eloquent in the
Senate. Mr., s. retained his seat, with the
lady standingby his side. Finally, Mr.. Pow

that lady your seat2 Mr. s. began to
squrm, and finally replied that he did not
resign his seat TO anybody, But Powell was

AND OTHERS.

The largest and most enthusiastic
meeting ever: held ia this city was
convened at the African Church on
yesterday. Two hours before the time
of meeting, the whole body Of the
church, aisles and windows, were
crowded, and quite as large con-
course was obliged to stand in the
streets, being unable to obtain access
to the building. The objects of the
meeting were to adopt resolutions ex~
pressive of the feelings of the people
of Virginia, excited by the gross in
suit put upon US by Lincoln in his
late meeting with our commissioners
at Fortress Monroe, and to take coun-
sci as to our future.
At a few minutes past IL o'clock,

MAYO, Mayor Of Richpond; Captain
SExxEs, Confederate States Navy; the
Hon. Messrs. SEAAKs, HENRY, MAX
WE'LL, and others, and the Vice-Presi-
dents of the meeting, entered the
building. As they assembled the stand,
the Armory Band, which was in at
tendnce, played the Marseillsise Hymn.
At the conclusion of the air, Mr.: HUN
TER, the President requested that no
calls might be made for speakers, as
their names would be duly announced
in tho order in. which they were to
address the meeting
Mr. HUNTER then said:
