Eloquent General Hanna.

In one of the most eloquent efforts | that has been heard in Montgomery re- gently, General Hanna. the popular | head of the Tennessee militia, deliver ed panegyric to the patriotism of Alo- bama and Tennessee which were and are still interwoven in single spirit of duty conception. He was not sur prised at the hospitality extended his party by the people of this city. For him there are no strangers in this Cradle of the Confederacy" nor are there any pilgrims to be found in the list of the visitors. Tennessee has all ways had a reverential spot in her heart for Alabama and her sons and particularly do her citizens of today look upon the city of Montgomery as being as scared as the dead.
 A beautiful word picture was drawn by General Hanna about the natural or physical connection between Alabama and Tennessee. The mountains and the Tennessee river which lap over into Alabama were the physical links that make the two states brothers forever. He did not believe in drawing a circle around Nashville as a center and calling 1t the prettiest country in the world. He would give no bounds to the circle so long as it embraced any part of Tennessee
 He closed with a tribute to the press which he designated as the most potent single influence in Tennessee in making the State what it is.
 Col. Slater. the dean of the party. occupied fifteen minutes in talking wit. wisdom and philosophy. Wit in- terspersed it all but it is safe to say that but for the careless way in which he spoke he would not have brought forth the laughter and applause that was accorded his efforts. He said he never found much use in preparing or writing a speech aforehand. He ac- cused General Hanna of stduying up his great oration.
 Dr. Patterson. in his response, told of how he had come to Alabama after being born in Tennessee. learning to
