Speech of NJ Russell al TIE Afficdla CAstJcL
Pursuant to annouuc.ment, aud in response
to a request oi L number OF influential citi-
zens OF this city, the Hon. Charles W. Rus
sell, the eloquent Representative OF the
Wheeling District in Congress, addressed a
large gathering of the people ut the African
Church last night We have not space for
from beginning to ending, was marked by
true eloqucnce and patriotic devotion, and
received 10y his hearers with manifestations
OF favor and applause. The several subjects
which now wafnterest and agtatc the public
mind were discussed with rare ability and
with an earnestness that attested the speak
er's sincerity. The currency was the first sub
ject referred to, which, In the opinion Of the
speaker, was not beyond the reach OF RENE
div. Its imitation was attributable to three
causes LIST, Il scarcity Of many of the com-
modites upon which we are compelled 10
rely "a, a redundancy Of Confederate mo-
ney and Sd, q decline in the credit OF the
Government. The measures adopted by the
last Congress would, in the Judgment Of the
speaker, when once in effective operation,
have tendency to reduce tue volume
OF the currency and re-establtsh, to some
extent, the credit Of the Government
But our success in this struggle was not
dependent upon our finances. A persistent
perseverance in the war would end in the
achievement of our ultimate independence
1t was not desirable hat peace should come
now. Peace too early might not be lasting
or honorable We could not expect the
North to grant an honorable peace at the
present time. With the termination Of the
war now we would lose Maryland, Kentucky,
Missouri, and perhaps Tennessee, and per-
petnate the PARTITION of our own grand old
Commonwealth. BY pcrseyering in the
war we would eventually compel the reluc
tant North to acknowledge our indcpcnd-
ence. We had nothing to expect from for
eign Intervention or from the peace party of
the North. Foreign intervention would only
come when foreign interests required ii; and
the peace party OF the North was barome-
ter of battles, which rose with Fredericks-
burg and fell with Vicksbnrg. That party
was pOWerless to accomplish anything for
US.


The late hour at which the meeting dis
persed prevents us from making any fuller

A dispatch received in this city to-day from
the Army of the Potomac states that unusual
efforts were made yesterday, last night, and
this morning to obtain the usual Glcs Of rebel
papers, but that 1t was found impossible to get
them. This is indicative Of q rebel re-
verse at Charleston, and is so interpreted by
the Government. Attempts were made
last night by our pickets to induce the
rebel pisketS TO converse on the subject of
tho demonstration before Charleston, but
they declined. These facts may be considered
as mere StrswS by some, but they tell tho

commons. 1t is not at all improbable that
such an attempt will be made, but II 1t should
be, our forces will, instead of giving the rebels
any additional supplies, cut down their ration

The great scarcity of meats of all kinds In the
Coofedcracy renders it absolutely necessary that
all classes should be exceedingly economical in its
use, in order to furnish the Southern armies With
proper rations In the old countries, where the
people possess iron constitutions and enjoy fine
health, comparatively little meat 10 used. We
must follow their mpe duriss this war, Every
housekeeper should raise as many hogs aud Deeves
as possible, and every farmer ought to devote O
fair proportion Of his best lands to the cultivation
of the Chinese sugar cane, from which TO mako
abundant supplies of molasses. BY doing this,
aud by cultivating and drying fruits Of all sorts,
we shall have an abundance OF good, nourishing
food for private ia miles and exempts and a fair
proprOtion of meats for the army. Tho South has
its all in this war. Ii must conquer hoporabe
peace or lose all that is worth living for. IL it
desires freedom its people must be willing to bear
sacrifices, privatious, and want. Without these
we cannot succeed, aud the sooner every man and
woman in the land makes up their mind TO bear all
and suffer ALL rather than become Northern slaves,
the sooner we will attain to the great end for which
we are aiming. Meat is scarce, very scarce, and
we are compelled to do with very little Of il even
now The stock on hand can last but a short time,
and our readers should make up their minds TO do
without it altogether till this horrid war is over.

RESTORING THE UNIoN.-The brutal Federal
soldiery, and their brutal officers, have a
way of "restoring the Union" Here is sample
of their deeds in Mississippi, committed during
their late raid lin the vicinity of Holly Springs:


On their retreat passing through Wyatt, they
burned every house in the place, and would not
permit any Of the sufferers to save anytbins-not
even wearing apparel. In the section through
which they retreated they burned residences and
barns, and shot down stock of all kinds





A Coop WIFE.-A good wife is one of the best
institutions man can have about the house, and
a man that has none has but little to live for. 1t
is not every one, however, who gets wife that
gets good one, for unless a girl can cook, wash
aud make her own clothes, she is not exactly the
kind for an industrious, working man to tie to.

GENEROUS AND UNsELFIsH PATRIOTISM

4ions have recently called down upon his

cent debate in the House Of Lords, wherein
the question was discussed whether the friends
of man who had died in VIGOROUSLY sln-
ful state were entitled to claim that those por.
tions of the Order for the Burial of the Dead
which hold out the hope Of future and eternal
righteousness should be pronounced over bis
grave. The fact of TO them, greatest signifi-
cance is that a tendency to innovation has
developed itself in the House of Commons, in
the shape of motion by Mr. Buxton
that in the opinion of the House,
the subscription required from the
clergy to the Thirty nine Articles, and to the
Prayer Book, ought to be relaxed" AT first

and wish of thousands of the clergy themselves

theological dissensions; but the danger of al

itself upon the House so strongly that the mo

called for.

If to feel that each day is an age in thy absence,


Each mile that divides us a torturing chain,
To feel that heartthrOb that beats in this BOSOM
Unsoothed by thy presence brings nothing but pam
To feel that the sunlight but tells Of thy beauty,


The stars of the graces around thee that movei
To be deaf to all music save only thy whisper


If this be to love thec-then, dearest, love-
If to yet feel the touch Of thy hand at our parting


To hear the low tones that then fell on mine ear
Still echoing low in my hearts inner chambers,


And feel that their iantness but makes them more uear
To on the mirror which memory holdeth,


The light Of thine eyes every shadow remove,
Though my sight at thine absence still dim the bright


surface


If this is to love hee--then, dearest, love
If to gaze the blossoms that spring is unoldng,
To list the sweet song Of the bird on the tree
And feel, though all nature is radiant with beauty,


Earth holds but one bird, and one blossom Tor me
To know that each breath that ascends gh heaven,
Il a prayer for a blessing on thee from above,
To hold one bright gem my hearts dearest treasure

arms of traitors at the South. Elsewhere all such

in public places some loyal man knocks him
down. and no one objects. All say, Well done

and we cant see why journal that has thous-

as an individual, where it not only commits the
same offense but because Of its multiplicity in a
thousand fold magnifed form. The people never
become excited on such matters without cause
Their wrath is honest and right. Instinct is
hardly ever wrong. Such journals ought to be
suppressed, just men or meetings should be
supprcssed-for this nation is now at war with
terrible and relentless foe, who proclaim that we
must conquer them or they will conquer us but
the authorities shonld do it-and if they fall in
their duty, shall we blame our troops, who, serv-
ing their country faithfully, are excited by the
treason belched forth by the minons of Davis in
our very midst? There is not loyal man in the

the exercise of its legal functions; that they OBJ
tanned, by the agency of traitors in the Govern
