SPEECHES TO SERENADERs.
About o. o'clock last night friends OF
Governor Walker appeared at the Exchange
Hotel with band OF music, and called upon
him for speech. He responded hand
somely, predicting Il Democratic victory this
fall.
General William Terry, member of Con-
gress from the Wytheville district, was next
called upon. lie made short and cheerful
speech, and was, like Governor Walker,
heartily applauded.
Loud calls were made for John w. Daniel.
The crowd around the door seized Mr. Alex
ander Hunter (ChaSseur of the Alexandria
Gazette), thinking he was Daniel, and hus-
tied him to the front OF the portico. 1t hap
pens that Mr.. Hunter is somewhat deaf, and
the huzzas for Daniel that rent the air as he
made his bow seemed all right to him. lie
began by saying, "After this flatterlng call
| cannot fail to respond-." AT that
point somehow it became apparent TO MN
that he was taken for another man, and he
retired gracefully, as much pleased evil
IDENTITY with the Joke as any Of those who
laughed at him. In truth he is 4 little like
Major Daniel, and that he should have been
sobbled up for the latter is not very sur
prising.
Shortly after this incident Major Daniel
appeared and addressed the serenaders, and
with much satisfaction to them.
Judge Cecil, of TaZewell (more familiarly
known as "Cousin William ", also made
some few pertinent and patriotic remarks.
