LEcrURE.-The lecture by Rev. Mr..
Irwin at the Methodist church in this
village, on Tuesday evening of last
week. was of uncommon interest and
was listened to with marked attention
bv his hearers. The speakers style
is earnest if not very methodical; he
gave US a clear insight as to the way
the loyalists Of the south were drag
ooned into rebellion, how the states
were drawn into the vortex of seces-
sion. gave a vivid account Of the suf-
ferings of himself and fellow prison
ers in the barracoons Of New Orleans
the first few months of the war, the
thrills Of ecstatic joy with which they
heard the deep and heavy boom, boom
of the federal cannon that announced
to the startled citizens of that rebel
lous city that the fleet had passed the
river distinctions, silenced forts Phil
ip and Jackson, and had captured the
city, bringing deliverance to thousands
on the very brink of starvation. He
also gave glowing account Of the
work and good done by the sanitary
and christian commissions, and told
of the immense amount of suffering re-
lieved by these societies. Mr.. Irwin
was driven from the Red river coun-
try 10y the Ku Klux Khan, after they
had murdered five of his neighbors.
