Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1871-01-22

LAST night a most fashionable and
intellectual audience crowded the
Greaulsw Opera House to hear the
most brilliant lecture Of Colonel Dun
csn *. AIcRae, for the benefit Of the
Confederate Relief Society. The lee
ture occupied over. an hour, and was
indeed an Intellectual feast. The de-
light and satisfaction Of the audience
was manifested by frequent applause.
Colonel AIcRse could win a national
fame rs a lecturer. His style is fault
less. He speaks with great simplicity
without any Of the studied rhetor-
zeal drill which is often painful to an
audience. Colonel McRae's subject
YVES "Lifes' Lights and Shades, +"
and they were elOquently drawn.
His method of Iecturing is worth a lit
uestuIv: for no man not endowed
with actual genius can acquire the art
Of amusing and interesting an au-
dieuce for so long a time. Colonel
1IcRae seemed to feel that people in
their collective capacity are slow in
seeing the point Of joke, unless it
be given IN broad language of dubious
pr5priety; and he treated his listeners
like gudge0ns, or other sorts Of slow
biting fish, that viii not spring at his
bait rs q trout leaps at a fly. He grad /
UaIly and cautiously exhibited his
bait and permitted his audience to
hook themselves. All this the speak |
er understood perfectly. He spoke |
very slowly and distinctly, never /
hurried till the point Of his joke pene- |
tratei the c0nscientiOusness Of his
hearers, and then the dry and quaint /
flavor ia his voice is mirth-provok- |
ing and helps to piece out his |
lun. The lecturer was precise in his |
delivery except when sudden impulse |
and excitement would sprinkle splen-
did impr0mptus upon the stream Of |
his thought. The lecture, from first |
TO last, showed that Colonel NcRae |
has a fancy remarkably brilliant and /
sparkling, and that his Imagination /
is Unrivaled. His style is figurative /
beyond parallel, and, OF course, his |
mode of speaking IS finished TO the /
highest point of classic elegance and 4
ornament. His entire elOcution is
graceful and emphatic. When he be-
gins TO rise and warm with his sub
iect, his enunciau0n becomes more
rapid, his GESTURES bolder and more
frequent, and his voice full, clear and
melOdi0us. 'Tis then the soul seems
10 triumph over the infrmity Of body
and p8urs out its rich and glowing
in all their beauty. In the lee
ture Of Colonel AIcR8e we heard the
voice Of one that dared and suffered
for the South, in treadiug the paths Of
patriotism which so many followed;
and It was natural that the tongue
which pleaded so elOquently for the
PROSTATE South and the relief OF her
suffering children, should exhibit the
flame that once blszed in such a pure,
bright and steady flame in his noble
bosom. We congratulate Colonel Nc
Rae on his success last night. The |
large crowd present were unanimous
iu their praise Of the lecture and in
eEl0lling the genius and talent Of the

VERSAILLES, January 2l.-The bat
teries to the southwest Of Paris have
advanced to within eight hundred
yards of Fort MOntrOuge, which re-
piled yesterday with one gun OF the

firing with two guns at long intervals.
Accounts from Paris report terrible
damage and suffering caused by the
bOmbardment.
Shells have fallen within the st.
Louis enciente.
There has been no sOrtie for the last
thirty-siX hOuIs as the ground is too
slippery. The outside lines have been
reinforced.
The French OutWOrk at Vile Jeu,
sllenced at the beginning Of the bonn
bardment, has broken out again, and
four long reaching guns there are
doing wild shooting, making it un-
comfortable for travellers.
THE DAMAGE.
LONDON, January PA balloon
has landed in Belgium with advices
from Paris to the 18th. The bonn
bardment was causing considerable
damage, but the fires OccasiOned by it
were easily exinguished. Some mills
used for grinding corn had been
damaged, and supplies Of meal in con-
sequence were obtained at great dis
advantage.
A midnight dispatch from Arlon
says the bOmbardment Of LOngray by
the Prussians continued vigorously
to-day. Three hundred shelly have
already fallen in the lawn.
ADVANCE ALONG THE WHOLE LINE.
LONDON, January p General Won
Glumer telegraphs from Carlsruhe
that his vanguard is In pursuit Of the
retreating army of General BOurbaki,
and that there will be a general adj
vance along the whole German line

ING IN FRANCHE COATE.
LONDON, January H.-News has
been received that on the 10Th, off
VigO, Spain, the Prussian corvette
Augusta run down and sunk a French
gunbOat, and that four Of her officers
and tWenty-six Of her crew made
prisoners.
It Is said that Gambetta has asked
NJ. Paladines to resume command of
the Army Of the Loire.
Skirmishing is reported in Franche
Comte, in which the French claim
advantages.
A RUAIOR ABOUT PEACE.
LONDON, January 20.-Advices from
Paris to the 18th inst, state that the
number Of deaths in the city from the
bOmbardment is estimated at fifteen
per day.
The Berlin correspondent of the
London Telegraph writes that Count
BeustOrf has been ordered by the
Prussian government to leave to the
Conference any discussion arising out
Of the subject of the war with France.
A Versailles correspondent Of the
Telegraph reports that the Germans
have twenty-five batteries available
lor use against Paris. For the past
three days, however, the lombard
nlent has slackened, and the past day
u mas totally ceased. It is believed
lilat negOtiaions looking to peace are
pending.
ANOTHER FRENCH REPUIsE.
VERSAILLES, January 2l.-A sortie

two hours fighting between the forts

CURED severe losses.
The bOmbardment of the defenses
at St. Denis and Aubervilliers has
commenced.
The Mendon batteries have advanc-
ed, and are firing into D'Issy, to-
gether with st. Cloud batteries, and
have made great havoc in stone walls,
and some embTasures were chOked
with debris.
Last night the pioneers opened on
the second parallel toward Dlssy,
and the mortar battery has been
placed there, which will soon reduce

From the New York Herald
LOT I. HOBBTLL, REPUBLICAN,
Was reelected 10 the United States
Senate last week for six years. He is

We're composed Of such men through
out on both sides it would be a pow

the national Treasury and the tax
paying people. He has been in the
Senate since 1861.
HENRY WILSON, REPUBLICAN,
By the Massachusetts Legislature, was
elected last week to the Senate for
the fourth time. He has been a mem
ber Of the Senate for sixteen years,
and his election for six more from
Massachusetts, simply means that he
is. as a statesman, politician and party
manager, one of the most industrious,
useful. practical and influential mem
bars of the body. His election means,
too, that Massachusetts, still sticks to

rebellion OF Sumner on Motley and
st. Domingo.

committees Of the Senate. He Is a

elected, expires in 1873. This is the
same General Frank Blair who was
on the Democratic Presidential ticket
with Seymour in 1868. He Is a posi-
