Daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, Va. [W. Va.]) 1859-1865, 1865-02-15


We have received from Brig. Gen. T. N.
Harris Richmond papers as late as the
10Th instant, which contain partial re-
ports of the speeches made at the great |
African Church war meeting on the day
before. The meeting held an afternoon
and night session, and R. NJ. T. Hunter
presided. 1t is said 10 have been the
largest meeting ever held in Richmond
The limited space of the half sheet papers
prevent their giving anything more than a
synopsis of each speech. Benjamin, the
Secretary of State, seems to have made all
together the ablest speech, and is reported
more at length than any other speaker
His remarks are strongly tinged with fore
bodiDg, and he tells his hearers not to
Hatter themselves that all is going on we'll
or likely to be we'll with them. He tells
the people that the rebel treasury must be
replenshed, and the ranks of the armies
filled up. He states in plain terms that
the government must have the cotton, the
tobacco, the grain, and the bacon, and that
they ought to have it free. He reprobates
the policy that left cotton to fall into
Sherman's hands, and contrasts it with
the policy that was pursued in hia own
State, at New Orleans, where the
cotton was burned in sight of the
Yankees. He intimates that reflections
have been cast upon the conduct of South
Carolina, the first State to secede, in not
r.DalIipn, tho iDyodnr r,Oro 1;no,ou,l-- L. 4.
he thinks she will prove the imputations
unjust. He tells the people to make up
their minds for bitter war and bids them
cease thinking of money or property. He
announces himself in favor of arminR the
negroes, and says that unless reinforce
ments are speedily supplied no one need
be surprised to see Lees army recedine
from the capital. We quote his own words,
as follows: -.-..-.
"AlthouEh he was no alarmist, he would
say let us do so now (arm the negroes), or
ne must make up our minds to see the
army defending our capital recede. These
were distastetul things, bnt he was there to
say distasteful things. There was danger
around us and he gave warning OF it,"
Mr.. Benjamin concluded his speech by
saying that he "wanted to have the crOak-
ers hanged" "Turn them over" said he
ITO the soldiers and let them execute judg
ment upon them" He further ''wished
that every one who was circulating sensa-
ton reports should be treated in the same
manner"
The day session of the meeting (Which
is as far as the reports of speeches extend)
was closed by a speech from John a. Gil.
mer, of North Carolina.

VISIT TO THE PRESIDENT OF A
DELEGATION OF LADIES.

His Excellency the President gave audi.
ence yesterday to a numerous delegation Of
ladies from Baltimore, deputed TO present q
petition sIghned by $4,000 ladies', seeking
the Executive clemency IN behalf of Jel-
ferson Davis. Mrs. Coleman, daughter of
the late lamented John ]. Crittenden, ad.
dressed the President in feeling and appro-
pirate terms, to which he responded in a
most felicitous manner, regretting that pub.
lie policy prevented his yielding 10 their
persuasive and touching argument.
The interview was protracted one and
Of the most agreeable character, and the
fair petitioners left the city, carrying with
them the most pleasurabie impressions Of
the President.
In declining, the President regretted that
the national character of the question re
strained all private sympathy which they
might have awakened in him, and made the
important statement that complete arrange
ments have been made for the early lega
trial of Mr.. Davis, according to the laws o
the land.-[Nat. Intelligencer, 18th.

TURF, FIELD AND FARM.
d EL1EvING THAT THE INTERESTS
ID the American people demand a first-clas
weekly Journal, devoted exclusively to the sport
of the turf AMI field and 10 agricultural and lite
rary pursuits, we have made arrangements to
publish such paper. With the return of peace
TO our land, war and its exciting issues will no
longer engross the attention, and form the chief
topic Of discussion. The people will return with
new vigor to the sports of the field and turf, TO
the breeding Of fine stock, and the development
of the resources of the country. The want of
journal devoted TO the best interests Of the whole
country was never so severely felt as now To
supply this want we propose TO establish the
Turf, Field and Farm.
We embark IN an enterprise requiring much la
Dor and expense but we believe the people will
sustain us in it. Our facilities for publishing
frst-class sporting and literary journal are not
excelled in the United States. Our long connec-
ton with the turf and stock associations of the
couhtry, warrant us IN thus boldly stating this
fact. II shall be our earnest endeavor TO publish
paper that will interest the general reader
Politics will be excluded from its columns, as we
have no desire TO indu ge in bitter aspersions and
to engage in heated discussions. The turf will
recev especial attention, and it will form one
of the leading features Of the paper. We have
made arrangements 10 secure correspondents from
every State which take pride in encouraging this
noble sport The breeding and raising Of fine
