"DUIe"and "Star Spangled Hantier" were played by the band, and the guests rose te their feet, cheer after cheer resounding. At the subsidence of the applause, Captain Wlieoten, commanding the artillery, rose and called en Mr. Davis te respond. Mr, Davis rose slowly from his chair. Deafening yells greeted film. Volunteer soldiers w aved their hats and handkerchiefs, rat Hed bottles, knives and forks en the table, and a tumult ludescribable ensued. When quiet was restored Mr. Davis, ju a calm aud earnest manner, acknowledged the compliment of the gallant soldier from the great cosmopolitan state of New Yerk and said It was significant of the strength and popularity or this great republic that tnen, brave and gallant, honoring a past and cling ing te the memories of a heroic struggle ler what they deemed a constitutional right, should thus miegle lu social lntercouse and glve free expression te their leve and feelings. It was an Indisputable evidence that there Is tu this country no necessity for a standing army, that the strength of the government lies In Its cltireu soldiery. This uiagnill cent demonstration today under tlie existing government showed that w hlle the people of the Seuth clung with tenacity te the memo ries or the past, tliey vvore faithful aud loyal. This grand ovation te htm, he regarded only lu the light of a personal compliment, aud remembrance or the cause or w-Kich he was a type. These who paid him this honor, new that he was powerless te reward them, could be animated by no ether motive than disin terested regard for ene who had striven te de his duty in tlie position te which he had been called, aud who had always remained stead last tn the principles he had deemed Just and rigid. These remarks elicited great applause which was redoubled as " Hall Columbia" was played by tlie band, followed by "Dixie." This was a feature unoxpected at the ban quet and 11 was regarded with Intonse satis faction. The speech of Lieut Itachelder, el the United States army, which shortly fol lowed, was eminently patriotic, aud its com ments en remarks previously made wero frequently applauded, ltachelder's declara tion that in the event et a foreign evasion the boys in blue nud gray would be found shoulder te shoulder, was greoted enthu siastically.
