J. Walker Jackson, J. Wheaton Smith, and others. The Mass Meeting in Independence Square, on Saturday afternoon, was one of the most remarka ble, from numerical strength and real enthusiasm, ■that have overtaken place In the history of our oity. Throughout: the entire day, the countenance of every man upon the street indicated the presence •Of an intense upheaving of public sentiment going •on in the minds of the people; and it was not sur prising to behold the magnificent turnout at the •birth-place of American Independence. The effeot of this sublime exhibition of the patriotism of the people will be most salutary to the cause, and grati fying to the honest, true, faithful, energetic, and •determined leaders of the people now composing •our great governmental machine, now enlisted to the greatest extent of its ability in endeavoring to crush this unholy rebellion. Though convulsed as the nation is, by a great rebellion—startod by political lunatics—one of the most causeless ever known in the history of the world ; though threatened by the jealousy aid hatred of foreign foes, somewhat em barrassed by traitors in the disguise of philanthro pists and Union men, yet Pennsylvania, as the proud •representative of America, and Philadelphia as the voice of Pennsylvania, stands forth at thb present mo ment,fresh and vigorous and undismayed in the face -Of all danger, the half of which might well cause the entire range of monarchies of Europe to fall like S£OW of bricks one after another. Still America Stan3s firm; the asylum of all nations, gladly wel ■ coming the “ mudsills” of sooiety to come and as sist in strengthening the groat temple of civil and religious 'liberty. , We write this beneath . the Stately elms of. Independence Square, within,‘the sacrid presence of that Hall where Washington, -Jeffepson, Franklin, Sherman, and other patriots of 1778, gave a charter to the people, insuring them virtue, liberty, independenoe, and the pursuit of happiness. The people came from all parts, up and down every avenue. Flags flaunted in the breeze; and, though the temperature of the atmosphere was among the nineties, yet tha great mass determined to sweat it ont: They came as resistless as an ava lanche, gathering' larger and larger in its mighty •course, until at last one vast multitude centred in •and about Independence Square. The houses around that celebrated enclosure were filled'with specta tors ; ladies appeared at every window, waving their •handkerohiefs, and evinoing many other demon strations ofjoy. . THE STANDS There were three stands erected in the square, the main one being before the south door of the :£state House—the other two on the lower east and ■west ends of the squares. Around the stands, the Stars and Stripes floated in • abundance, and the surroundings were also gaily and appropriately •fcedeoked for the occasion. We have ee’dom behold So vast and patriotic a crowd. Many a hard-£Ufced mudsill” feola himself a hero, and ready, with renewed impulse, to squelch a traitor, if any should appear; As a general thing, there seemed to be a ‘determination at last to bring this war to a speedy ■close, and to inflict on every traitor’s neck the penally of a traitor’s doom. The|pptipn of the stands was entrusted to Geo. rThorn and Ed ward G, Webb, who deserve a word ■jf eneomium for Iheir success and promptitude in attending to this business. A sub-platform was* erected infront of the main stand for the aooommo . -datum of the large and efficient band of musicians /under Birgfeld. The American flags, kindly loaned by the gallant Captain Thomas Turner, the •Commander of the iron-olad frigate New Ironsides, werrfeandsomely grouped up, and pending from the beak of a very large eagle, presented to the 43008 of Malta several years ago by John M. Genin,. 35aq.,0f New York, and loaned by the “ Sons” for this special occasion. - „: THE CALL.

Almighty and most Holy God—Thou who rnleat in the hosts of heaven and over the inhabitants of the earth, into Tby presence we Thy servants come to thank Thee for Thy goodness to us of this land. We thank Thee for Thy goodness to us as atoeople—that Thou hast pre served as in the enjoyment of so many civil and religious privileges, that, notwithstanding our fiults, Thou hast protected us in the enjoyment of our rights. Now that evil hath befallen us, we come before Thee to pray for givenegs for the wrongs we may .have committed. Let Tby blesßing rest upon the President of the United States, and upon all associated with him in authority. Grant that Thy favor may rest upon our armies, upon the officers in command, aswell as upon the men in the ranks—give them strength, fortitude,. and undying courage, and speedily reward their efforts with success, and unfurl their banners with victory . Let Thy blessing rest upon those who command the movements of our brave brothers. Enlighten the minds of our enemies; forgive them the injury ,they= are doing.. We beieech Thee to lock tboße misguided .countrymen ofoura," and briDg them to a speedy recognitionof theirerrors. Grant Thy blesßing upon this meeting—upon all who speak, as upon all who listen. May the result of this gathering soon manifest itself—may it soon bring about an honorable and enduring peace. Hear us in these our prayers, for Jesus’ sake. Amen. The Mayor then came and, after the applause with which he was greeted had subsided, proceeded to address the people as follows: SPEECH OF MAYOR HENRY. Citizens ov PuiLADBtPHiA;' We have mot together to furnish prompt, efficient, and ample moans for aiding and sustaining the brave armies nowbattliugfor our country, its Union, and its Constitution.' r [Cheers.] This immense concourse, these earnest countenances, attest the hearty zeal which pervades our community, and give certainty that the energetic measures demanded from its people will surely be taken. [Applause.] f This occasion calls for tho utterance of plain truths and of direct appeals. The time has arrived when all the , delusions and forbearance of the past must be scattered to tbe wipds. [Sensation, and cries of“ That’s it;”l The hour has come when freeman w&t answer unto freeman, eye to . eye, nnder .the sense of an all- constraining indU vidua! responsibility never before felt, never before ex isting. ‘ Let us look candidly and without self-deception' at the circumstances' of the present hour. The ripe sheaves of a plentiful harvest are already garnered; in dustry, in all its various pursuits ‘meets with ready and rich recompense; capital and taste are erecting new abodes for comfort and refinement along every bighway- Do y ou. can yon fully comprehend that a revolt the most. uncalled for, a rebellion the most unnatural, an intestine , strife the most deadly that the world has ever witnessed, at this very moment threatens the enjoyment—aye, even the existence—of. all .these, bounties that Providence, labor, and wealth have bestowed? Peace and quiet Burround your homes and abide with your wives and your little ones; in your daily walks there is none to molest you or make you afraid ; do yon, can you realize, that but three hundred miles distant, hosts of traitors, embittered with malignant hate, despe rate through defeated purpose, Incited by unscrupulous leaders, are eagerly plotting and struggling to bring war and rapine into your midst? To-morrow’s Sabbath will bring.to us its accustomed hallowed rest. Do we remember that thousands of heroic men, fathers, sons, brothers from our own homesteads,' with a noble chieftain, true and undaunted as ever com manded a patriot army, [enthusiastic and long-continued applause.] must pass their hours on the banks of the pol luted watfrs that flowthrough tbe citadel of treason? ; As we stand this day on the spot from which our corni ' try’s independerce was fiwt declared to tho world, are we sensible:-do we’feel it in our utmost souls, that noloas we prove faithful to'the spirit and aeU-devotioo'which j animated our fathers, the noblest and proudest of human [ events will be made a by-word and a scoff to us and to ; our children through ali coming ages ? j Shell we give ourselves over to selfish ease, to unheecU i. ing quiet, and to fatal lethargy 1 "When the, safety of our* ; brothers is endangered; whentoe fortune of the war is ; imperiled ; when the honor and perpetuity of onr country l: are at stake, have we no succor to send, no vow to make i" good] j Men of strength, when you girded the sword on tho ! comrade who-has already gone forth to the battle-field, j it was on your part an unchangeable assurance that, i whenever needed, you would stand by him shoulder to .

Let not your plighted faith or I manhood be put to shame. : r ' Men of wealth, when with approving looks you cheered j the onward march' of the volunteer, you thus gave him ; your sacred pledge that every dollar in your prime , should, when called for, be yielded to his assistance. !

[Criesof “NoI no!”] ■* j Men ot office or of politics, when you counseled and encouraged the enlistment of the brave men who are offering their lives to maintain our Government, you. thus made yourselves sureties that whatever influence you possess shall be honestly and. singly exerted for the same high purpose. Bee to it, as you shall answer an outraged people, that selfish ends, whether of . pelf, of party, or of prejudice, do not unnerve one arm or cripple one patriot under,the standard of loyalty, / Men of God,' each prayer that ’you have offered before ' the altar at which you : serve Ju behalf of your country and of its defenders, has engaged you anew to make un | ceasing supplication that He who ' alone can direct the issue ofbattle will send victory to ©nr banners. Be im portunate, be prevalent for that blessing. T More troops, more means, more singleness of purpose, are, under God’s favor, urgently needed to bring the war to a speedy and triumphant close. - Men of Philadelphia, Shall those be supplied ? Cries of “Yes!’ “Yes 1” and the most enthusiastic cheers greeted the Mayor as he resumed his seat. At the conclusion of the Mayor’s speech. Mr. Chas. Gibbons read, in a loud voioe, tbe following resolutions, which were agreed to amid much , cheering:. THE RESOLUTIONS. The citizens of Philadelphia, assembled in Independence Siuare do solemnly declare end resolve:-.:/ 1. That the welfare of the people and my existence as a. nation demand that the war, which has been forced upon us by 'rebellious States, without cause or provoca tion, shell be prosecuted, on the.part of the Government, with the atern and inflexible purpose of conquering its enemies; and that all the power and all the means which : the Executive can command ought to be employed for that purpose, without hesitation or delay. [Cheers.] 2. That we thank the President for the recent orders issued by his- authority, indicating on abandonment of that policy which bas protected the property- of rebels, proved disastrous to the health of our armies, and, by/ prolonging the war, hag illustrated" fact that anch leniency to our enemies is neither merciftil nor wife. -[Prolonged cheering.] 8. That we acknowledge only as our friends those who are loy nl to the Government and give it an earnest 'and UDQuaMed-srippbi't; an&ibat all others—whether living in cur midst, or fighting m. the ranks of our foes—are Our enemies and the enemies of the people,;and ought to be treated as such. ; This resolution created a perfect furore of evi dences of-approval. 4. That no interference by foreign Powers In the pend ing war can be tolerated on any pretext, or any eireum-* stances, but will be resisted to the last extremity; and to that end we rolenraly pledge to/each other, and to the Government, our lives, our property, and our honor as a people [Enthusiastic applause.] 6. That we heartily approve the call of the President for>n- additional force -.of 800,000 men, and ratify the proceedings of thenreTtmlnary meeting, of citizens held at the rcoma of the Board of Trade, on the 26th insl., on the subjept of subscriptions and bounties to volunteers to fill the, regiments and companies required from Phila delphia. [Cheers:] 6. That fh'elMojor and Councils of the city, and-the proper authorities of the several counties-of the State, be requested to have the muster rolls of, all Pennsylvania regiments and companies from their, respective localities, engaged in the service of the country'during the'present war, copied iu|p books of parchment, suitably bound and numbered, with entries of the ageß, places of birth, resi dence?, and occupations of all tlio officers and men, and deposit the same in the Hal! of Independence, to be pre served among -its, rolls of honor, as a legacy to. onr children. [Cries of “Good!” “Good:’!]: . •’ 7. That every able* bodied citizen, capable of bearing arms* be requested to unite'himself with some military organization for tho purpose of receiving'tactical in struction, and preparing himself for. such military ser vice an the necessities of the country may require. [Cheers.] (. • • The question being - takenj they were unani mously and most vociferously approved. After tha.resolutions had been adopted, Judge Kelley was introduced, and spoke as follows: SPEECH OF HON. WM. D. KELLEY. Mr. Mayor and Fellow-citizens: This is indeed a grand and grateful sight. The genius of republicanism-» now writhirg in the agonies of the crisis of her fate. Your action here to-day, and wiihin the coming week, and that of your fellow-citizens of the great Keystone State,'may decide whether our institutions are to be perpetuated, or, are to be crushed out by the rude power of a lawless and baiberous rebellion.,/ [Dries of “ Never! never!”] I am glad to hear you say “ Never !” for it pledges yon-to go to (lie recntiling station arid-join a regiment.: I want to hear the young man; of eighteen—the-stalwart man or thirty—the vigorous man of forty—l want you to say, “Never!” and to prove your sincerity by shouldering your muEket, or‘ drawing your sword in defence of the most blessed institutions ever given to man. [Applause.] There is no disguising the fact that a blunder has been committed—that the grand army, which, eight months ago, Stood in its pride, holding the enemy in check, ready to overwhelm him by its mere momentum, is now just where the enemy wants it. That Is a thing of the past. Let it be—this Is no time to ask who is responsi ble for it. It is enough for us to know that brawny arms are needed to extricate it from its position and crush the rebel crew, [Applause.] Ono hundred thousand men are wanted immediately; three hundred thousand men are wanted in a little while. Shall Philadelphia send her quota ? ; [Cries of “ Yes.”] If ehe ia ready, you, my young friend, ought to-be one of the number. You who cheer the speakers here must make up the serried ranks. Are you ready to do it? Are you the sons of the men who fashioned the Declaration of Independence] Are you the brothers of the gallant men of the Pennsylvania Deserves, who held in check and drove before them four times their number? [lmmense cheering and ap plause.], If you are, I ask you, before the sun sets or the moon rises to-night, go with the Zouaves d’Afrique or soma of the other regiments, and when you sleep, sleep an Ameri can soldier—[applause]—a man “ in” for the war. Let that spirit be aroused among you.,. Let every man feel in his heart that the honor of Pennsylvania, the past and the future glories of her history, are confided to him and himalone. Wipe out the stain that has been put upon her escutcheon. Make this lawless crow feel that in the name of liberty, of Constitution, and of peace and all its blessings, bur army is equal to any crisis. It is not for idle words we have held this meeting. The solid men of the city have gathered together, and are pouring out their treasure—one a thousand, another three thousand, another five thousand, and so on. They give their money freely, for the noble purpose. Young man, you are a traitor at heart if you say that is all they give. Their sons.are on the field, and ready to join you. The other day an honorable man, when subscribing to the bounty fund, said Sherman & Son, $l,OOO. I wish this meeting to know that that son is a prisoner in Rich mond. Having served through the three-months cam paign, he entered aiterwards for the war. He fought seven successive days, and was aiding the surgeons in handling the sick and wounded in the hospital when he was taken a prisoner. You canno' give your $1,000; hut you can give your stout hearts to pluck such as he from the Richmond prisons. Youcannot do it by talk; you can put on a pair of red breeches, and rally undor our glo rious banner, that has been made more glorious in the Shenandoah valley. Go to the Corn Exchange. Enlist yourselves under that brave man, vho comes fresh from : the Ohickahominy; who says, “ come, a thousand of my countrymen, and bring from: imprisonment my towns men ” This you can do. ; This you own to your own humanity; you owe it to your native State; you owe it to the Government that has raised the poorest man and the most ignorant of you to the equality of manhood with the .proudest and wealthiest and most learned in the land. Ab you hope for your children, aa yon reverence your fathers, as you fear shame, as you prize honor, I ask you to resolve that yonr nameß shall be inscribed in parch ment books, and that your children, if you fall, shall bless and praise you as a patriot sire. [Applause] Judge Kelley then retired amid much cheering. The next speaker was ex-Governor Pollock, .who was well received by the audience. SPEECH OF EX.-GOVEKNOR POLLOCK, FEU-Oiv-CrmENS : We ar© here this afternoon to renew our devotion, to our country—to, renew our alle giance to a Government that has fostered, and protected, and defended us—to say to him who administers the Government, President Lincoln, [Cheers, J.a man of noble heart, a man all over American, a man who never de serts his country, and whose country will never desert him—[applause]—to say to that noble man, “ Go On with the prosecution of tbe war until treason and rebellion shall have been crushed—until the flag of the Union shall wave over every inch of American territory ’’—not one State, but all in one, now and forever ! .We are here this afternoon to bid God-speed to the young and noble General who is now resting upon his well-earned laurels on the banks of the James river. [Great applause, and cheers for McClellan.] A patriot leads your army who was born hear this spot, who car ries with him the honor of the Keystone State., [Beuew c-d, applause.] Shall the President—shall General Mc- Clellan be suppor ed I lf so, then lift your hands on high, and swear by the God of Hosts that the Union shall be saved, and tbe Government maintained. There are occa sions in the history of men and nations, when silence is crime, icdifference is treason; when loyal men must speak out in all truthfulness, and in a manner worthy their manhood. That hour in the history of our nation has arrived. There are now but two parties—the patriots and the traitors. [Applause.] There is no neutrality. That is treason. We are here ibis afternoon to rebuke treason in cur midst, as it skulks sneakingly about, and treason in the South, where it raises itself in armed re bellion ; and, I tell you, my friends, this afternoon, in all the sincerity of ah’American heart, we have more to dread from the cold-blooded skulking, in our midst, than we have from the aimed minions of Jeff. Davis. [Ap plause.] We can meet the latter in the field and beat him from it; but your home traitor cannofbo so readily disposed of. [A voice, “Hang them to the lamp-post.”] My friend, they do not deserve a better fate. Give me the man that will stand up in all the digoity of his man hood and freely declare his devotion to.Ms tcomitry— “Come what will, my country.now, my country for ever.”' ... I ask you, this afternoon, to sustain the Administra tion, not as partisans, but as the friends of yourcoun try; stand by it jn the prosecution of this war. v I rejoice to know that in the recent orders the gloves have been thrown off, and that the sword has been drawn and the scabbard thrown away; I tell yon, my friends, this is no time for compliments, but heavy blows—war to the knife, and the knife to tbe hilt. [Applause.] % I say again, no compromise in this war. Wehaveoal|; one kind of terms to submit, and that is an uncompro miring submission to lawful authority ; and I hope tliaV this afternoon every heart is prepared to aay that until this rebellion iB crushed, there shall be no surrender of either principle er territory. We fight to conquer.; We fight to maintain the Union and the Constitution, and every means that God and nature has given us, we ought to employ. I make uo war upon institutiohs peculiar or otherwise; but when this nation Is rushing to bioody battle, and confronting hell-hounds, whatever crosses her path, institutions peculiar or not, lot them be over thrown! [Applause] Institutions are nothing, our coun try is everything.- ' ,■'.* -J\. : \r.> - V I stand here this afternoon the friend of the Constitu tion, and I have no sympathy with those miserable quibblera. who stick to the Constitution when the coun try’elife is.in peril, iiway with -your Constitution when tbe nation is dying! ft will not stick to thelatter 7 bui «m -fall back upon the great principle of self-defence. When the obs»8BIu attacks you in the: night, ::jm« dn nofc Wait fora policeman; you'strike down the murderer, and stand before the world acquitted of all wrong; [applause]; and shall I, aa an individual, possessing a right with twenty millions in tliia nation, not assume to' say,for each of these twenty millions, that when, self-defence is ne cessary, tlmt'they should pursue: the same course] Whatever the means, even should it be tbe aiming of the loyal negroes,, we.should seize upon.. Now, gentlemen, Ido not design detaining you. lam glad you are here. lam proud lam an American citi zen. I see before me' those born upon the soil. I see before mo this afternoon him who is an American by choice—tbe brave son of Erin—who is also well repre sented where the bravest of our armies repose—[ap. plause]—the Irishman, who can roil up his sleeves and make a gallant charge upon the enemies’ranks. [Re-• hewed applause.] I see before me the noble Scotchman, who never has faltered when the battles of victory were to be fought. Reference has been made to the little kingdom across the water that threatens intervention. I say to you that intervention is an insult. Intervention is war. We say to England now, fearlessly, come on, it you dare— 1 ' Lay on, Macduff, and damned ba .him .who first cries hold, enough!” [Applause] I see before me the honest-hearted, brawny-fisted Ger man, whose legions have honored onr cause oh tbe Po tomac aßd on • the Mississippi The Frenchman; too, i 3 - here, with freedom in his heart and freedom in his arm, with an 'undying love for tho country of his adoption. Are such men as you prepared to say that this nation is to die, just as-it is reaching the meridian of its glory]' [Cries of “No l”] -Your voices proclaim your patriotism:, let not your arms be wanting to give it effect Young man of America, I. would say.to you. this afternoon, imi tate the devotion of the youth of Paris, who, when listen ing to the eloquence of Mirabeau, previous to .his doom, became fired with a generous enthusiasm.. Ho saw Mira beau fall, dying as was supposed. >The young man bared bis arm to the lancet, and rushing to the spot, exclaimed with all the fervor of a healthful patriotism, “ Here, take my blood, BO r that Mirabeau and the liberties of France may not perisb.” [Applause.] Youog man, your conn tiy calls upon you in the bour.of . her danger and dark ness. Like the Parisian youth, fly ye to tbe field. Bare your breasts to the rage of battle and strike for freedom.. Bay to your'country—” Here, take all that I am—life, wealth, and blood—so that America, the pride of my love may not perish. [Applause.] The next speaker was Dan. Dougherty, : Esq., whose appearance upon the platform was the sig nal for unbounded applause. . 7: Mr. D. spoke as follows:, SPEECH OF DANIEL DO BGHKBTY. ! We are assembled, Americans, to decide whether our country shell live or'die; whether we shall befree men or slaves peace 1 shall hero again per manently dwelt, or this become a land of dead men’s: skulk; whether the fires of freedom shall blaze in beauty until all the earth shall enjoy the perfect day of. consti tutional liberty, or the eternal night of despotism Bhall in our time descend upon the world ! These are consi derations that tower in.sublime proportions above all meaner thoughts, and will tell the - historian whether we are an heroic or a degenerate race! whether 1 this is the golden age, or these the accursed days thatsold and sacrificed, when they might have saved, the unborn mil lions of the future!- . . ! ' To address you, Americans, on such a theme, fills me. with awe, and makes me bow in humhle supplication to the All-perfect One, praying His omnipotent aid to in spire me for the cause! -. In the midst of unrivaled prosperity, with a Govern ment the best that mortals ever made, with argosies prondlyplowing the waves of every sea, and the mighty .armaments of every Power doing homage to our flag, a conspiracy, long meditated and maturely planned, has burst Into bloody treason and rebellious war.

The following patriotic letter was also received from Rev, Kingston Goddard: LETTER FROM BEY, KINGSTON GODDARD. St. Paul’s Church, Philadelphia, > Saturday, July 26,18G2. - s Gentlemen : I greatly regret that ray attendance at the funeral of a young communicant of. my church will hinder me from addressing “ the meeting ’’this after noon. Allow me to present to you my grateful acknow ledgments of the honor conferred upon me in selecting me as a speahcr.pn so important au occasion. I consider it one of tbe highest privileges that can be conferred upon a citizen of Philadelphia, thuß to aid our just and holy cause in the time of its necessity. 1 Nothing but the moßt imperative sense of duty would reconcile me to absence on such au occasion. Devoted as I have been to “the cause of the Union,” from the first outbreak of this unholy rebellion. I feel more en listed in tho cause now than ever. The true patriot will hold nothing too dear to be laid upon the altar of his country but his honor. Even life Itself will freely be given, and wealth gladly consecrated to such a cans© as that in whose behalf, as citizens, we to-day convene. Victory to our arms and death to treason are results worth securing at any price. These are sentiments which I am aware are common to us all. I have confidence in believing that men will not be wanting, now that our country needs them. The blood drops that have ;aliea from the hearts Of the loyal and trne will prove to be BCfds from whence shall spring the glorious and plenti ful harvest of a nation’s devotion. Our young men will emulate the example of their martyred comrades. They will fill in haste their vacant places, and Philadelphia will prove bers&f to he worthy of being the guardian of the Hall of Independence. Of thin l feel aa- So that had I been permitted to speak to-day, it would not be with trumpet tones to arouse the Bleeping energies of my native city. Not so. Wedo not sleep. It would only be : to have given utterance to the sentiments of, the community—to sound, In fact, those tones of manly devotion which the breath ofpatriotism, as it sweeps over the soul of the sympathetic and im passioned, calls forth. Asa minister of Christ, I feel that every interest dear to the Christian is involved in this struggle. I say, “ God keep our cause.” Idailypray, «• Goo keep iti” ; And I know that He will. I fully anti cipate the time when the glorious fabric of our Union shall once again rise in its integrity and beauty, not one pillar being wanting in tho glorious building, but all being there firm, upright, and poliehed, so that as its shadow is cost over the ‘graves where sweetly sleep our martyred heroes, pilgrims will be seen coming from the North and the South, the East and the West, to hang the wreath over their lasting monuments, and do homage there. And blended, too, in such wreaths shall be woven with the fingers of Northern and Southern daughters, in loving harmony, the orange blossoms of the South sleep ing upon the evergreen of the Northern pine, and shaded with acorn and oak leaves of the Middle States. ' So mote it be. Yourr, truly &c. KINGSTON GODDARD. \After Mr. Forrest’s letter had been read, three cheers were vociferously given for “ Ed. Forrest.” The next speaker was Rev. J. Wheaton Smith, who thus addressed the people: ; : REMARKS OF REY. J. WHEATON SMITH. Mr Friends : I shall not long detain you, as other speakers will soon be present. He related the story of a public meeting at which Mr. Prentiss was speaking some years ago in Mississippi. : Mr.^"Prentiss was telling the' people of tbe absolute impossibility for. one.section of the country to get along without the other; said he, the North cannot get along, without the South, nor tho South wiihout the North. At that time a Colonel Oobbchanced to pass along, and took the liberty to deny the assertion. Prentisß said - to Colonel Cobb that lie could prove it; “Coiocel, where did you get that horse on'-which you .ridel” “In Missouri, sir.” “ Where did you get that saddle]” “In New York.”' Where did you get that coat]” “ I bought it in Newark.” “ Well, now, Colo nel,” said Prentiss, “if it were not for the North you would not be Colonel Cobb, but Cobb without a kernel.” [Daughter and applause]. ’ Twenty years ago, this spirit of disunion commenced. It has been carried on ever since with more or less reso luteness until it accomplished, they think, the dissolution of the Union. But, gentlemen; they little knew the power which they at that time dared to trifle with. They little dreaded the warlike resistance they now have met. They forgot that the-North could put forth efforts in sternness. Aa a minister of the Gospel of peace, it is not for mo to dwell much upon military matters; but, please God, I hold the opinion of the old minister who loved peace bo much that he was bound to have it, even thongh he should be obliged to fight tor it. [Laughter and ap. planse.] We are placed in circumstances where a little more of war will insure a permanent; and honorable peace. I take not so dark a view of our condition as WB3 taken by seine here. Never did military progress appear so splendid as within the past six months. ; There is not an ill which now troubles us that wag not in Eng land in the days of her revolution. There were traitors then as there are traitors now; yet justice prevailed; and: there are in store for this country battle-fields more glorious than Bunnymede. The .dawning of the bright day is approaching. . The next speaker was Capt E. W. Power, late of the Excelsior Brigade: : SPEECH OF CAPT. POWER. •• : We have assembled here, he said, to tender our sup port to. that form of government that haa guarantied to us the right to enjoy, social, political, and religious hber ty with a'common country. He might be entirely differ ent in Bentiment politically from the gentlemen who had preceded He might differ with them socially,'and perhapß religiously ; but as an adopted citizen he tooktd to that flog that gave to him the right to think and write, .and act, and protected his childreojwhen he was gone. ; [Cheers.j After serving in the army under the gallant Sickle*, since the commencement of the war, ho now re turned to enUst under the banner: of the Keystone J gtato," ■and he asked those present to do the same; I want you as men to come forward. I appeal to those who are my countn men.. The. words of. Meagher last night in New York shall never be forgotten. Uncle Sam has pro tected us in our darkest days, and now we must suitain it.

[Oheers-] Let-ov6cy mau r ' come forward, and ibis rebellion: will soon be ended. There are in our midst a class of - men—l ■ ain sorry to know them—who have very peculiar views in regard to this war—who are too cowardly to volunteer themselves, and who never had a ’ relative who dared defend them selves on any account, and who throw cold water on this movement. They say it is an abolition war—a war for the nigger! I was one of ihe Democrats of the bid gtheol, and do not believe this, and as I was one of the first to enlist, I shall be ore of the last to leave the army. [Applause.] 1 All men who talk that way mark them, as we.do on the Potomac, as traitors to the flag. [Oheers.] Just as the speaker wasiabout concluding, a slight disturbance took place at the rear of the stand, when Captain Power urged the people to be calm: That fellow, he said, Who is making that noise; would be the first to run off when ou picket. [Laughter mid applause.] In conclusion, he hoped that there would be a hearty response to too Presideai’s call for 300,000 moro men. Let them bo forthcomibg. if it were for no other reason than to show the despotic - Powers of Europe that we are a great people, able to whip our internal enemies, and then pay our addresses to them too. [Applause.] Go; your: excellent Mayor will take charge of your fami lies in jour absence. The. American soldier cannot be bought. This question of bounty cannot induce the pa triot to do his duty, though it isnonsoling tokeowthat while we are fightiog .tbe battles of our country, our dear ones at home are well taken care of. [lmmense ap plause.] ' Captain Power than retired, and the band struck up the Star Spangled Banner, the people joining in tho chorus. BBMABKS OF GEOBQB H. SWART, ESQ. Mr. Stuart, upon being introduced, said he, had come ten miles from a sick bed to have the opportunity of looking upon lhis vast assemblage of freemen. The time for speaking is past. This day is the anniversary of-the arrival of General George B. McOlellan m Waßbington. [Applause.] , Where are the young mon of to- day that will say we will give ourselves toour country] Do you wsut to cheer the heart of McOlelian 7 If so, let the en listments in this city be' no less than 20,000 within, the next week.' Mr Stuart said he could not speak long, as he was suffering from a severe attack of . asthma. He was not able to go to the field, himself, yet if he waa, he. would jvish to be at the head of an Irish brigade, and, in the .language of United v States Grant, he would proceed to Richmond and send : a despatch to ■ the arch-traitor Davis: ‘‘Sir, with the help of God, I;iiitend to. move upon yonr worksimmediately.” [Greatchoere.] Though he was not able to take an active part in the war, yet he was ready with his money, and if there are not Irishmen' enough in this city to. get up an Irish brigade, he would say there are enough in Ireland left to raise a brigade that could go to Richmond and hull Jeff; .Davis and his followers into perdition. [Great cheers.] Mr. Stuart now announced that the merchant of Philadelphia had already subscribed to the fund, $15,000 of -which had. been' received since the organization of the meeting.-' w . A patriotic and eloquent address was, also, made hy the Rev. J. Walker Jackson, whose remarkV will be found under; another head. . This spirited, little speaker made addresses at alb the stands. His last visit was to; the main stand,. and Although much’overcome and broken down by his previous efforts, yet he made here another soul-stirring and patriotic address which was received with the wildest enthusiasm. • SOUTHEAST STAND. Here tbe arrangements for the accommodation of the reporters did credit to the judgment of the committee on stands, and we are .therefore enabled to present an accurato account of the various speakers’-remarks. •• At fifteen minutes past four' o’clock the meeting was organized and Mr. James AI. Linnard made chairman. , BREECH OF JAMES M. LINNARD. Fellow-citizens : Fifty odd years I have been In the habit of frequenting Independence Square.: In the war of 1812 I shouldered my gun; My Bon lost his life at Mexico; my grandson is now a prisoner, in the enemy’s bands. [Applause..] Therefore, I think, I have a right to be here, to-dayi’to address you; but" had, I. physical power, /would not be here to-day . [Cheers.] rbave never been a public-speaker, but I am ready to act in any capaciiy with my feUow-citizona, provided I can aid them. . . V: - . SPEECH OF DR. MORWITZ, Dr. Merwitz spoke alternately in.EngUsh and German. He said the people had. come to this glorious land from all nations, and they had here one heart, one soul, and me country, in the land of Americaif freedom. They had come up here with one cause, and although there mightbe some confusion of tongues,-as was the case at .the Tower of Babel, yet there: was one natural language here—the language of the heart—the voice of patriotic devotion to the conntry. English, German, French, and oil others,we are one;; all united in sentiment and de votion to the country. We have , all one thing in common—we have all one cause in the protection and in the perpetuity of this glorioha Union. [Applause] Whatever ’differences of opinion there may be- on political'questions, tUey must BLd will be peacefully settled- after this rebellion shall be put down; now we must speak, another language to the enemies of bur country. Differences of opinion, what ever they may be, must not be settled before the enemy; there we must use another voice—that of the roar of the cannon and the craßli of the musketry.' The Germans had spoken in the thunder;tones of their artillery on the battle-fields made red with the gore of traitors, and baptized with the blood of the loyal sons of the Union. We must be victorious, and we should be the ones who shall dictate .theilenna oL-peace to the rebels; The Germans have over been , true to the flag, the ConstilqMon, the glory.; and 'the perpetuity of the American’Union. ; [Renewed applause;’"and cries of “ Go on,” amid which the Doctor made way for the next • speaker.] ■ SPEECH or HON.,E. W r . DAVIS. Fbllow* citizens : It is unnecessary for me to say that I did not come here with the expectation of speaking. Bat on the present occasion, it is necessary for every man to do anything be can for -the cause-which assembles you, ' to* day in old Independence Square. No man can meet here bis not feel that he is on sacrod.. soil, ard on the very spot where our independence i inaugurated. Pbiladelpbiahas already3done nobly in this i cause; and, although not hbitizeu pf.yqiir proud.city, I thauk.Godlwas hortfin Ppnhsylvama; and am proud to Bay she has furnisbod moie men and more' assistance to' tho Government: than any‘other Statein .the Union. ; When the patriot’s eye is cast over Independenco Square to*day, he sees that Pennsylvania Is still ready, to sustain the Constitution Adininfatration, andforbstbe' laws down.the throat of every traitor.in the land- Gentlemen; Aye have no party politics to discuss' here : to*day. We have a bloodiegcoirntry to uphold; wo have* a' Constitution'to defend, vl was pleased with the re-^ marks of the gentleman who preceded me. Well have his countrymen fought for the Union. Well have the Irish, too, rallied around Uncle Sam. Philadelphia has already Bent her tens of thousands of patriotic citizens, and those who are not prepared to go, and have wealth, are willing to contribute to those who are. . A new era is now upon us; the Government has taken sides with a determination and rigor which must succeed. Shall, tbe South trample the flag of this country under their feet! [Criesof “Neveut” “Neverl”] No! the old flag must bo sustained, and it will be sustained, ami the war mmt be put down. He had cheering news from the region of the Bucktails. There is a new regiment coming. Tho Governor had put his county down forone additional company In the new quota, but there are now .two companies raised in that county, (Venango.) The papers say they are not only drilling by daylight but by night. You live hero ia the great commercial metropo lis. We live in the far West The same pulsations beat throughout. the State as bore, and the same spirit animates the hearts of all. [Applause.] There are traitors yet in Philadelphia who say the war . will last until you, and I, and all of us shall grow gray. ■ They are emissaries of the rebellion In Philadelphia, but they dare net show themselves, and they are quiet except in the drinking saloons. Treason Is stalking abroad ia yonr midst, and it is time that Union citizens should know that there are emissaries of treason here in the City of Brotherly Love. I am ready in every way to serve my country. I care not how. I volunteered-my services to*day. How macy of you are willing to go aloDg] Outin the backwoods we know nothing but to love , our country, and we are going to send regiment after re giment to fight for it. „ . SPEECH OF REV. MR OLIVER. • I have been a soldier for some time past. We have to unite to the character and duties of the clergyman, the duties of ibc soldier in the. field. >lt was not long since that I was associated with men engaged in deadly strife, bearing aloft this proud emblem of our country’s liberty at the peril of their lives, and who, Btanding likB men, hoped to meet a-bappy reception when they should rejoin their fellow-citizens. [Applause] Having just left the Army of the Potomac, a few days since, I find myeelf in your midst. It may be somewhat pleasant to you to know that there isgreaterdeapondency in the city of Phiiadelphia thanis now felt by the Army of lhe-PotomaCj in tho very face of the enemy. There is no despondency there. There is no want of confidence there. We have every confidence in the man who com mandsus— ilond applause]—and be will lead us to victory .if. politicians let him alone. _fTrecoendons cheers.] We know'. General McClellan.- He is superior to the age. [Cheers.] Ho will conduct our soldiers to victory when he has leave to follow out bis own plans. [Ones of That’s so!”] y ' Gentiemen, there are a few things that prevent us from doing all that we ; otherwise might. We feel too much discouraged when a cloud passes over our • horizon. We have not iearaed to look at an eclipse like men who have seen an eclipse.' Wo want j’our energies. We want no man because he has a “ friend at Washington ” to take command of us,; »We have labored under many disad vantages. Toucan have no conception of them. Men. have, ccme into our midst bearing medicines, refresh ments, happy words, religious words. They have com plained that we were the inhabitants of a swamp.' But I expect to be in the rebel capital before manymdnths; and I expect to be there to witness onr proud eagle floating in triumph in the galo. SPEECH OF WILLIAM B. MANN. Fult.ow-oitiz3sNS : It.cannot be doubted but that for nearly a month past there has been a cloud resting around ; and about ns. We have noticed the fact that our people have looked gloomily in the streets, and yet I have to find the first man living who despairs of the Republic. [Cheers.] The Union is a legacy which we have received trom our forefathers, and we must transmit it to onr children. Our little ones imploringly lift their hands and askit of up, and by the blessing of. God we’ll do it; No power on earth can dissolve the Union ,of these States. Our children are to be taught, as we have been taught, to bound the United States southward by the Gulf. As long as thfc rivers run southward—aa long as the snows that .are melted on the summits of the Alleghenies, or that shroud the; peaks of the Rooky Mountains, flow southward to the Gulf—so long the free blood of Northern hearts will be. poured out ou Southemsoil for theper mamnee of tiffs Union. [Applause] Away, then, .with this cloud, with this despondency I Without a country what is life ] Whatever treasures I bave_are hors. Whatever blood I have ia here, acd all I have I am willing to give to her. when she requires it. These are tbe feelings of all around and about us, and whilst men may look heavy and solemn, all that is neces> eary for us to feel aid say is : “ The right is" with us, God is with the right, and victory is with God.” In a war like this—a war of the fiends of hell against the saints of Heaven—a warof slavery against liberty—a war of deepotißm against Democracy—a war of slave owners against freemen—in a war like this. it is utterly impossible for/the wicked to permanently succeed. [Cheers.] is. against all history; it is against the spirit of history ; itisagainst all thatwe know or have heard. It Cannot be; in free America, that the history <of the world is to be re-written in consequence of the degeneracy of onrpeople. I tell : you, my friends, we mußt, we will conquer. This war for the Union must be . fought. Let; it'be fought in Virginia. It may aB well be feughtthereasin Pennsylvania. The War to prevent the extension of the Russian empire was fought; we are told, in one spot—before tho walls of Sebastepch ‘ ThereHbe French'and English; month after month, gatheied their,cboiceat armiea. If this war for the perpetual ion of American; freedom is to bafoaght ia Virginia, let it be fought before the gates of Richmond. Let us congregate ourforces there, and in a fair, open field, I can tell you we can show these people that North ern blood Sows as powerfully in the veins as Southern. No braver, troops than ours exist All they want is & chance. They will fight their way into Richmond. [Lionel v cheers.] The war seems almost to have ceased elsewhere throughout the tJniom I have said onr troops , are worthy of their cause. I teilyou. gentlemen, I have .

I know of a regutent, who, when they were ordered to hold a posi "tion, planted th«irieet on. tfas4round, : add stood'there until the enemy came up are struck down' their car tridges with their sabres.

'When the order wssgiven to retreat, and was understood along the'line, they gathered up their men.- The word was given; right about, march, and they marched. Theffiffi not leave a man on the field.

She has demonstrated that her.religion was a*mockery; that her civilization was a lie; that her poetry was. a rhapsody of words. She has proved herself a nation of hypocrites, bowing'down before a cotton king, worshipping a golden idol; and turning away from the spirit of grace. [Loud applause ] She has demonstrated to the civilized world that Napoleon knew-her perfectly when he called her per fidious Albion.- [Applause.] It was she who sent her emissaries to preach a crusade against slavery. It was * she who sent her emissaries here to divide the Church, North and South. It wbb she who sowed the wind that we might reap the whirlwind, while she reaped thecotton. [Applause ] Let her intervene; it will be a piece of paper intervening between a pair of shears—somebody will be cut; [Applause.

I came herd to say with you that this rebellion—the most foul and wicked thing that has disgraced Gpd’s earth since the crucifixion of our Saviour—most be put down; and I came here simply to add my voice to those , who have preceded mei and discharge a duty which l thought wog incumbent upon me. To doubt that we are to be ; suo v cersfnl in this cause is to doubt that there is a heaven . above us. -It was intended by God and Nature that our ;; country' should be one. Its rivers permeate and bind it together. The civilization of man haa bound it together with iron bands., .We have one Wash- flag—and one God above'; ui, and we will transmit one country to onr children.. [Applause.] The population that, are: to dwell: in :the valley, of the MißSißiippi within the next fifty years will amount to over one hundred and fifty millions of people. They will be an educated people—a people who will bo-taught to call Washington father—and do you believe that they will ever allow that mighty river to rim through &for eigncountry 1 [Great applause.] ‘ .No, they will stand . there with that mighty power around them, a of people like those who dug the canal around Island No. - 30-r-a breed of men taught to revere the words of the dy ing Lawrence, “ Don’t give up theehip,” and they will soon, settle all the Jeff Davises and Beauregards that may . arise in the next fifty years. ’ What God has put togeth er Jeff and Beauregard can never put asunder. [Applause] : & Col. Robert F. Christy now read the resolutions, :|the sameas are reported above, .which were adopt ., ,«ed afe this stand with deafening applause. - Loud Rories for “Forney, Forney,” were then made by the crowd. Col. Fornoy was then intro duced, and his appearance was greeted with hearty applause.' ■ .; SPEECH OF COL. FORNEY. Felloe-Citizens : Like Mr.. Mann, I hnvecotno her© for the purpose of assisting to swell tins extraordinary demonstration. Thisis scarcely the time for speeches; ip is the time for action, and your meeting to-day will bo more productive of good results if those-who" are here will, when they, return- home, reflect upon the causes which brought them here, and the duty : they owe their country, than by listening to the speeches that may be made from the respective stands. In truth/ gentlemen, tKe'ojgument, so faras public epeaking is . concerned, is~ exhausted. The.issue must be decided by the.swordand the bayonet. v There is but one side, but one true side, to ibis question, and that is the side ofthe Constitution, of the Union, and of freedom against slavery. That is the. disiinct, plain, manifest issue involved in this great fight. {Cheers]. Returning from Washington this morning, I met in'the cars,a distinguished gentleman who repre sented our country at one of the foreign courts. He had been all over Europe, and was . just returning from a tour of. South America in discharge of his offi cial duties. Ho had seen, therefore, nearly all the civilized nations,and'he told me that-that which most impressed him was the wonderful degree of comfort, pros- • perity, order, peace, and happiness, of the people of the United States. Every other portion of the world felt this great-war. intensely, closely, and constantly,'but the loyal freoStates.- There all were peaceful, all prosperous, and all hjKftpy/' Who would suppose, he asked, in looking over the multitudinous' throngs that crowd the streets of your great cities, that -thousands«and tens of- thousands" had gone forth to battle from them, and that of those who remained, nearly one 'man. out of every three had lost a brother or a friend in’this fearful Blrife for free ..Government'/ Who -would suppose,,looking at your manufactories, looking at your stores, looking at your comfortable- dwellings, looking at all the appurtenances of prosperity, manhood, and peace, thati your Govern ment was engaged to-day in a struggle for its own pre-, .servatien, and for its own existence? "! ; .The South is crushel, as it were, at the feet of that idol which it has worshipped. It feels the curse it intended to inflict upon ns. It is suffering from that, war which it brought upon : itself—yes/ my countrymen, brought upon4teeif;‘for when the: Matqriaa comes to write of this contest, hig .judgment will bo that never before have, twenty mllUons of-free people done so much to indulge; eight millions-’determined' to break up their country. [Applause.l, .Regarding it in.this light, is it not a won der, in the midstof ail these exhibitions of the righteous ness of odr r cauee,-that any portion of the American people, of the loyal American peoplo, should ‘be found hesitating in this crisis? There is not a.word.to be said' in favoroftoisrebellion/Those who tell ua that this contest is prosecuted ior the purpose of elevating another race, ■ themselves misunderstand the issue. ; Every inducement that can fire men, every argument that can inspire free/ men, every interest, every memory, 1 everything belonging! to the- past, and every promise of the future, invokes you to'come forward to sustain the -Government in this its hour of peril. Bo this, and the result will beaeuffi cient reward for your courage and your constancy. The Rev. J. W.

Fellow* citizens : I little expected thatifcwouldbemy sonow toisteudhere, but I am also here with feelings of 'pride,.that it ferny privilege, as an' humble- citizen of a. ‘ great metropolis, to raise my voice in behalf of my coun tryyin.behalf of the maintenance of our glorious Consti tution and the preservation of the laws. Here than this, jbrihe defence of that sacred emblem—tha emblem of " heaven and the . gift of . God. My friends, :I! am here/ having laid,, aside, all party:;ties, and. having sworn upcih the altar of my country never again to know party ties until this accursed rebellion shall have been swept from the.land. r;Until t y.ou do likewise our ; canneverrlse toits foll grandeur.. Every man' v.who is fit for military service owes it to Mb'! country at t this time of peril, to throw aside all selfish considerations end rally to her support. Ob, that we might see a few * Eobert Morrises in -this city of Philadelphia;' that we might have evidence that patriotism is not; 'dead and our country-still lives ! Gentlemen, patriots, countrymen, these are plain facts, you must take them to ' ycur hearts, you must-make up your mind to HMrifioe family, if need be, in defence of this flag. What is family, what is wealth, what is life, if we are to live under a flog torn in fragments and scattered to the four winds of heaven 1 I see, by toe earnestness of yonr countenances, that the spirit of your fathers is at work in yonr hearts, tiiat the sons of the sires of ’76 will not be recreant to the high and important trust that has been confided to yonr care and keeping. [Great applause.] The knife of the assassin is even now at the throat; of our country. Would you stop to argue with a man who has a knife at your bosom? Won yould protect his property 1 There must be no more leniency; there must be no moro compro mise. [Applause.] vW© must con: e forth with tho same spirit that animates that R roat and gallant general, John Pope. [Applause.] We are hot dealing with men, we are dealing with hyenas. If it should ever come to pass that these rebel hordes should enter the confines of our State there would not be a wife or child,- within the limits of this Common wealth, that I would trust to their polluted touch. My countrymen, if ever there was an honest man beneath God’s sun that man ie Abraham Lincoln. [Great ap plause.] I did not think so formerly, butl did not know him then asldo now. If there is anything ws should thank God for it is the election of a man like Abraham Lincoln in a crisis like this which has arisen. When peace shall have returned, his name will go down in the history of this country side by side with that of Wash ington. [Applause.] In conclusion, let me say to you if you love your country—if you love -her institutions, rally, to her de fence. The bones of your fathers—the bones of your brothers, sons, and relatives are even now bleaching on the bills of Manassas, at Ball’s Bluff, and on the seven battle-fields before Richmond; and they cry aloud to you, their friends and relatives, for vengeance. Fill up tbe ranks of the decimated regiments first, then fly to the standards of the new regiments; then God will bless you, and victory will perch upon our banners, and tha emblem of rebellion be trampUd in ihe dust. [Ap plauser* " : v Mr. Henry J. Fox came forward and road the amount of suhseriptiona which had been taken up to this time. _ They/were the subscriptions made by the individuals, and amounted, exclusive of those made by the rmlroads, to $130,000. BPEECH OF WASHINGTON L. BLADEN, E<q. In the name or one who has enrolled himself ia tho army of the Union I came here to ask reemtes. I have started the roll of a company, and I am authorized by a few friends to say that, when the company is organ ized, five hundred dollars shall be given to it over and above all the other bounties that the city or State may give. I want every young man from 17 to 45 to join in. Who will give me hia name] Isthereno answer, from this crowd I Why, gentiemen, in a little village in the county of Philadelphia, one year ago, in a population of only 190 voters, the same appeal was made, and within fifteen minutes after the roll was opened there were twenty five gallant spirits who put down their names for liberty or death. How many of this crowd, composed of all ages, will come forward] I know you are modest—you don’t like to speak out now, but on Monday morning you will have an opportunity. Gen tlemen,on the 4th of July, 1776, congregated in front of that building, waiting for the determination of the de liberations of a chosen few, who were seated in yonder hall, was an anxiouß crowd. What gave rise to such breathless auxiety ? What gave rise to so much silence, so much fear and trembling on-that occasion? They were waiting to heor tho result of the deliberations of those who were discusging the Declaration of Independ-: ence; whether they were to declare the United States free, or whether they would throw down their arms and yield. There was fearful anxiety. At length the speaker came out and announced that the deed was done —the Declaration was signed, and America was free. [Great applause.] - Gentlemen, in 1862 shall it be said of the descendants of those who were waiting in such fearful anxiety and interest, tbat in the month - of July, scarcely twonty days after, the anniversary of tflhf glorious event, in the State Home yard, within sound of the bell now in Inde pendence Hall, the eons of those gallant people waited and hesitated before .they would-take up arms to per petuate those gloiious-institotiona for which our fathers jeopardized their lives? . SPEECH OF COLONEL NASH. Colonel Nash, of Cemden, on being introduced, said Fellow-citizens : We are hereto smtain the stars and stripes,- made sacred by tbe blood of our Revolutionary fathers. Bhall it trail in the dust, or shall it be preserved as the sacred emblem of our,country’s glory and our country’s honor? Recollect,.gentiemen, that the great charter under which we live is the Constitution of the United States. Let our bous and brothers volunteer in its defence.: My friends, when this starry banner, that floated over the ramparts of Sumpter, was insulted by an insidious foe, and the President called for soldiers to defend it, the people with one voice, with unanimity never known in toe record of nations, rnabed to arm 3 to preserve it as the emblem of their nationality. There was no question asked; we only knew that the stars and stripes had baen insulted, and the American people rushed as one man to its defence. My friends, on this occasion we havs met without distinction of party, aa American citizens, to per form a great and-noble work; our country is bleeding from every pore, and the great, gallant, noble; illustrious McClellan, of Philadelphia, is eommander of our legions: and while George B. McClellan has charge of the . Army of the Potomac, no fear need be entertained for its safety or success. Richmond must fell before the mighty- sword of McClellan. [Great applause ] SOUTHWJEST STAND A stand was also erected at the southwest corner of'the square. ~ . . ;? •. The meeting: here was called to order by Edward 0. Knight, wbo remarked that it was a pleasant sight to witness bo large a gathering of loyal citizens. We have now really begun to realize that we are engaged In a war with a determined enemy. It is now tho time for the Government to use aU means in its power to crush the rebellion; and the great sinew of the war is money, and if money cannot betaken from the rebels, take whatever eke that will cripple them. Unless we go immediately to work, the lives of hundreds of thousands of bur valuable citizens wifi be sacrificed. Let there be no farther de lay; let us immediately, with an earnestness worthy of our former name, crush the rebel vagabonds to the earth. We have the migbt, power, and strength, and- we Lave to do is to will it and the work is done. fGheers.J Ho then introduced as the president of the meeting Mr. John B. Myers, wbo came forward amid loud applause. He said that he felt highly elated to witness the glorious Sight tbftfe wm & B (gu|Q CAl lt meaning in the outpouring oi phia. It assures the. volunteers that our hearts are with them. There are still many more mieu wanted to fill the leave behind will be well cared for. Already one hundred and thirty thousand dollars have been collected, and still contributions are freely coming in. He reminded those who are desirous of winning; laurels that he who goes away the humblest may return the greatest. SPEECH OF REV. J. WALKER JACKSON. Rev. J. Walker Jackson wag the next speaker. He said: - I anticipated that X would be embarrassed upon an occasion like this; that it would be impossible to com* maud; that; coolness, that «df-possession, that would be necessary to address ybu; but it is not so difficult as I anticipated?/ Standing. here and looking out upon-this eeabf faces/however, is an inspiration, and,puts me en tirely at ease, althougli ia a new, and com jarativeiy au untried position. As I came here I heard a sweet, child ish voice, singing from a window. The words, I believe, were those of ono of the ■ Sabbath-school songs, and the refrain which followed was: The conflict is raging, .’lwill be fearful and strong, But we’ll gird on our armor : And-be marching along. I inwardly said amen/and here I came, thinking of the applicability of the words to the present crisis. 2his meeting is called to make arrangements for re sponding promptly to the- call of tho President of the United Siates, through the- Governor of the Common wealth, for an additional Dumber of troops to aid in put ting down the present rebellion. Two things are neces sary to this end. One is money, and the other is men. Here are the men, and here is the money/or, at least, that which’ secures the money./ Yesterday your noble and patriotic City Councils pledged the city for 3500,000 for this purpose. I understand that the contributions from private sources have reached the amount of $150,000 '—-perhaps by this time, for . the money comes so fast we .. can scarcely keep the account—tho amount is $203,000. If it were nrcessary/a million dollars! would be Bub scribed , and the United States would putman for dollar, a million of men to put down this infernal rebellion.! [Cheers ] - It is said that these men are for two purposes—-to fill up the old regiments, which are already in the field, and to form new ones. Hereisthecolsnel of an old regiment, perhaps, to'be the general of a brave brigade before long, [cheers]; a man who has won His laurels, but who is here wounded and in his weakness. God give him strength .for the emergency and the-hour. It is almost impossible for the soldier to got over his' ’ camp restraints, and eo it is with the preacher. Ho must have a text, and I intend to take a text for the hour. “ Now abideth Faith, Hope, Charity—-these,three; but the! greatest of these is Charity.” You will. Bee the connection between! the text and- the hour before I am done. "What is . necessary to put down this rebellion? I have said money ; ' I say men— man more than the dollar; but what is necessary for the war ? . Just these three thiags. Faith in our cause/ Hope as to,its ultimate suecesß, andUovc, which is ,cha-! rity, for the cause. There must be faith in the success of the canEe;: there must'be.!faith in .the ability of the United States to put down this rebellion; and, to this end, there must be faith in the righteousness of the cauße/and faith in our ultimate success, ; . lam about to enunciate one proposition in reference to thiß faith la the righteousness of our cause, and! that is that, under' any circumstances, under a republican go vernment, revolution is rebellion, and is wrong. It is as plain as the noses on your faces. It is as plain as the patriotism on your countenances; just as plain as the emergency, that brings us together at this hour. Goveru ments are ordained of God, and inrepublican governments there are rational ways of effecting revolution. There are moral and political revolutions effected by the ballot-box, and that is the only way under God Almighty that any revolution can be effected in such 1 a r land 'as this; [Cheers.] I repeat it, that that ; is the only way/ Any other resource is a ain, and I feel justified in standing here at sneh an honr as this—Justified as a minister and a Christian, and as a citizen of the United States, having: an cqual interest at stake with! you—justified .as a man that had a brother under fire at Fort Bonelsbn, justified by the noble hour and the glorious cause. ; My dear friends—l cannot get over the dear friends/ and lata not used to ’saying fellow-citizens—have you ..not noticed the attempt that, has: been'made to' justify this Southern rebellion by comparing it to our Revolution against Great Britain ? The tongue of the man that did it : ought to be blistered, his arm should fail palsied at bis kide who dares to do it [Cheers,].! There the' Blighießt comparison between'thomr ‘ '[Obeeis] Pitt, Fox, and Burke, on the floor of the r British Parliament, jus ifledtbeßevohitionupbnco'istitutiohalgrouhds. They "took the bold doctrine tbat the Constitution hod been violated—that the tone great principle- that raised the Colonies tear ms, taxation without representation, was in defiance of.the British Oorstilution--that itwasaßritish ' fjeemah’a right, everywhere on the globe, to be repre .sehtcd vbcfore he was .taxed. Has there been any; such pretence with reference to the Southern rebellion ? ' Has there been.any pretence at all? [Cries of “No, no.”] There/hasjbeen a great deal gflid about a voluntary union, to depend upon the will of the separate States. There has been this one pretence, which is nothing more than the right of, a madman to take a plankout of the bottom of a ship .at . sea in a tempest, or the madman’s pretence to set fire t'j Ms own boute/when it islb the midst of a row. Has the Con- stitution been violated injany single, solitary particular? [Voices, ‘ f No, no:”] What has the North ever done to the South /i how at any time has she offended?" We might almost take the language of the Declaration of In dependence and say we have knelt at their feet and been spurned, we have offered petitions that have been refused again and again.: There is ho recourse left to ns but war, ’stern war. war to tho knife, war to the end, war until tbisrebelHon ceases, and all rebellion will cease with tMs one rebellion.. [Cheers.] t What has the North done ? We have carried tho mails of the South at the expense of ourselves. We .-have re captured their fugitive slaves again and again. Wo hovo purchased their tracts oflandFrom foreign Powers and maclo tiers of States for them; we kicked up the war with • Mexico and trained them for war; just, for their sakes.. We secured victories for! them, aud themjalone. .What have we not done ? We have! done everything for them that itwas possible to. do. But;, say some, is not! the Union an ddvantage to the North 9 Is it not a pecunia ry advantage!? "CeriaiMy and from all selfißh as well as patriotic 'considerations, we go for the Union of these States, one and indivisible, now and forever.. [Cheers.] ;••••. ... !. :But we elected a President; I believe, that is the one only reason , that has, ever been given/ We elected , a President that wsb not acceptable to.the South ; but who, when he was .elected, rose to the dignity of , the! occasion and of the hour. He became nottbePresidentof a party, but the President oY the whole United States. He stood up like Abraham, and-I, as a Methodist preacher,' said at that hour, the God of Abraham be praised. He stretched out hfB hands lovingly, and tenderly towards theßomen. ; He 'said, my misguided- when'they endeavored •''toaEsafaualehim'on.his-way to'the capital. /When'they - had made every preparation to sink us in everlasting ruin, .he still said my bretlurehi Has hot hlsr course been the "calmest and most salutary ?haa .no the. manifested a ! ; tiei;ce timt w'aa" wonderfM and most remarkable I No body believes in'the! means. .that have been/hereto* fore co&ducted. We all want a sterner war; we all want a fiercer war; for this end we want the rebels driven into TWO CENTS. the Gulf of Mexico. [A. voice—** And a stone about their necks.”].< Yes, and a stone about their neck?, and with never a hope of resurrection afterwards, [Laughter and applause.] But there arises this one question: Is there a suffi ciency of success to warrant hope] Men believe when there is success to give them a reason for believing. Here, in Philadelphia, for the past three weeks we have been sitting in sack-cloth and ashes. Men have de scended from the mountain of their elevation and have walked in the valley of humiliation. They have said to one another, “ Oh, it is a dark and gloomy hour.” They have been panic struck. I don’t stand here to criticise campaigns; that is not my business. My business is to induce men to go and fight; to sustain the country: Henry Olay did an act once that offended some of his constituents, so it is said. Ho went to see an old far mer that had criticised his course. The old chap said, “ I never intend to have anything to do with you again, Mr, Clay.” Mr. Clay said, “ have you got a favorite ri fle ; did it ever miss firo'i” “ Oh, yea,” replied the old fellow. “■'What did you do with it: did you throw it away 1” ** No,” said the farmer, “I picked it up and tried it again.” “Thou,” said Mr. Olay, “What do you intend to do with me]” “I'll pick" you up and try you again,’ was the honest ansver of the farmer. Just so it is now with reference to taking Bichmoud. We will pick It up and try it again, and perhaps will succeed better nexttime, [Laughter and applause j My frunds, I repeat that wo want to carry on this war »c no half-way manner, I believe that I repeat the sen timents of nine-tenths of tbt loyal men here—l do not think there is a disloyal man in this Square—l repeat, that we must save this Union anyhow, any way, bo that it is saved, and that covers all and everything. There is a class of men who talk about saving the Unton in a constitutional way [Laughter.] In a constitutional way. [Benowed laughter.] I love the Constitution just asmnch ob they do. - But the Bible Bays, that the Sabbath was made for man. and not man for the Sabbath; and just exactly so was the Constitution made for the Union, and not the Union for the Constitution. Tt was ordained to form a more perfect Union, and if it don’t meet too re quirements of the Union, another Constitution can be made that will do it It is not so much a paper Con stitution, but constitutional Governments, that are at stake at this hour. That is what we want ,to secure : that is what we are endeavoring to maintain. A man would be false to his nation and humanity if he were to despair at such an hour as this, when there is eo much love for the glorious land—wbon the people are waking up to the emergency, and are willing to sacrifice everything to the land that gave them birth. . There is one tiling that, when we rise to the dignity of this im pression, no matter what stands in the way of the Union, .we will strike at it, and the Union shall be saved. Let institutions get out of the way, if they don't want to be crushed by the car of the Union, If American slavery stands in the way of the Union—and I believe it does—l would Beize the slaves and use them.: [Tremendous cheering.] _I would free the slaves forever and ever. Tbs man that took hold of the wagon during this hour of our nation's peril, is too sacred ever to be a slave. [Cheers ] Love for the cause—ah! bow it makes onr hearts glaa to use that word. Love unto the death for the dear old Government; for the glorious old Constitution; for the stars and stripes. Love,; that many waters cannot ; quench, and floods cannot drown, Love for the cause. We shall succeed|; there iB no kind of doubt aboufcit. There will bo men and money enough. When Demos thenes would arouse the Athenians to an attack on Philip, who was invading their country, he said, “Greece shall be free I swear it by the names'of our forefathers, who bled at Marathon, andLeuctra, and Saiamisand we will swear it by the shadow of old Independence Gall, by its sacred recollections, by the memories of Banker Bill, of Bennington and Concord, by Jackson, by Jeffer son, by Washington, first of all, the Union shall be pre served. I bid you God- speed in this glorious work, and amen [Loud cheering.] The resolutions which had been adopted at the main stand were now read, by Thomas Webster, Jr. SPEECH OF ISAAC HAZLEHUBST. Isaac Hezlelmrst was the next speaker. He said Follow-citizens, I think myself that the best orator on this occasion is the flag. [Cheers, j That should be the orator of the day on all occ&Bions. I have spoken often, I may say very often, in this square, upon many and many occasions, but 2 never arose to address an assemblage of my fellow-citizens with more solemn feelings than I do this afternoon, having reference to the peculiar exi gencies of our country. Fellow-citizenß, it is impossible for us to discuss abstract questions upon this occasion. I.propose to put a practical question to every individual this afternoon. Shall this Republic live 1 That is the question for consideration—one to which every person before me can give a practical answer in. the affirmative, that this Bepublic shall live, andtive forever. ' No politi cal organization with which I connected myself ever vio lated the Constitution of the country, or ever Interposed one word against the rights of the State, or oast a single blow against the integrity of this Union. .We have left our offices, you have left your workshops and warehouses, at the call of the chief executive of the city, for the purpose of embarking body and soul in this holy enterprise. We have a faithful pilot at the head of affairs; ho has charge of the noblest vessel-that ever walked the'wafers. lam desirous that that vessel-shall' bate iron-clad vessel; that she shall go out with a picked and, noble crew on her decks.. We are here as sembled: for the purpose of organizing, hot fearful of what baß been done, but for the purpose of standing by < this country to the very last. What is the use of persona talking of property, or of business, unless we have a Go vernment which shall fulfil every hope 1 For my part, I would rather that I and my sons should be penniless under the Union than millionaires under the cursed oli garchy of JeffDavi^r. We are to have j*Bfi and money; the money is obtained and. pledged, the hearts of the American people have como forward and pledged it. On that question there is no difficulty.’ . ' Let us not be deceived. We have a wily foe. that on this day, according to’the despatches in onr city, are threatening the very capital of our country. Why are they threatening it] Because the American people have come forward and placed a man of their own selection— a man who has been faithful to every interest and obliga tion of the Constitution, and who will see that the laws of the United States shall be executed. We are not only to do this, and crush out this feeling, but I am sorry to say that there is a feeling in our verF centre that is to be crushed out. • Ton are not to rebuke treason, but to erußh it—to crush out that malice that crouches in our very midst, and beckons these trai tors to our very homes. These are the persons that I am for crushing out, ' There, are men in our midst that rectivo the adverse news by: telegraph with most remarkable complacency. Down with them! Crush* them to the very dust. [Cheers] But there / Union, but the preservation 'of the aged and ioSrm,. and of our children, they must be protected in this hour of need. -We are to meet the advancing foes, if you please, with a stem' and positive defiance.

Soltis; a very Ist ge one. Wo Intend to aetfclo.it ourselves. We don’t want the opinion of Eng land or France. They dread our power, and they want to break the Union down. .We do.not ask their opinion. “We can mind onr affairs ourselves, and when we get this matter settled, and the country together again, we will call upon them to pay that bill just as quick as possible. [Loud cheering.] If we are to go down, we will go down just as the frigate Cumberland did when the Merrimac struck h< r, and as the old sailor fired the last gun, as she went down, he cried,. tl thank God ! the flag still floats,” we, too, shall say tto same. [Applause.] Hands off, John Bull, - if you please. [Laughter and cheers.] But When the matter is over, if you will just form a ring, you will see about as pretty a fight as you have seen for a long time. [Laughter and applause.] Haiids off. you man in France ;; look out, if there is not a Bourbon directly be hind you, shaking the very chair on which you sit. They have been wanting to break us up for thirty years'.' But they have scarcely got over tho alarm they had inLondon six weeks ago, when they beard of tho launch of the Ironsides. A.vast number of persons left the city, fearing she- would be there [laughter] byfche next arrival. She may possibly be there. [Applause] England and France have been kicking up this fuss to keep us from going after them. But when we ace healed up, then let them look out.. [ Applause.] I want to see the Pennsylvania Beaerves once more ordered to the front.; Tfaero must be fighting now, no more protection of the property of rebels. The traitors in Virginia have nothing for tho Constitution to protect. And now, let us pledge ourselves, one and all, to a man— never, never, never to give up our beloved country. [Tremendous app’anse.] : Loud cries were now made for Colonel Small. • SPEECH OF COL. W- F. SMALL. Col. Wm. F. Small was then introduced,; and received with loud cheers. He said; As the Rev. Mr. Jackson said a short time since, it is very difficult for me now to. say fellow-citizens. I have been so much in the habit of saying comrades, that I don’t know hardly how to address a civil meeting. But as the civil meeting is called , for warlike purposes, I preEume I may address myself to my fellow-citi zens. [(Meers;J You have assembled here upon an occasion more, important to you and your children than any which has preceded such a gathering in the history ‘of the; country.; The question now is, whether your Union, the.liberty and tbelaws of this great and glorious country shall now be preserved by freemen battling for the right, dr shall be! trampled down by slaveholders ' battling for the wrong. - [Criesjof “ No, no.”] You uu-. d erst and the question perfectly. ..I need not further .argue that point.

[Applause] We never said they shall not have them; but they said"they would take them into Kansas and Nebraska, and would carry them North. We say. now, by the Eternal, you shan’t Co it.

[ Applause.]. •We wilt have no more fights over the nigger.': This is the last one. [Applause.], And thomen who go to Con gress and talk for months about tfie nigger will have nothing to say in about two years. If the nigger is pro perty and . his owners are in rebellion, we will take their property—[laughter. A voice,!“ That’s right]— and we will 1 make the very best use of it in the world. We will make that property, dig ditches for us, and drive our. teams and build onr foitifications, and we mil put muskets in the hands ofthe property and send them in pursuit of! their runaway master?, and let them meet their " masters afc long range; ' - They shall not take tb eir ; negroes : away; for although they : are . their children in many cases, they are. still negroes.

That is to be tho work of the darkies. , This is a most creditable meeting to Philadelphia. You are about to raise a large army. The young men of the country, however, do not want the bounty. That is no inducement for any man to go and fight the battles of his country under the glorious stars and stripes. We do not want the money except a little for tobacco. [Laugh ter]. But we are glad "to": know that with; this ; bounty we can provide for our wives and children: «Those who leave their homes and employment are . entitled to some consideration from: tliQße who remain at home, and that is. the, only reason you go.

But Hnos constitute a square. to tbs waters of the Pacific. We have begun now to find that we want a million of men, because these devils ran from Corinth to Richmond, ami from Richmond to Charleston. They have all the railways inside their lines, and we cannot follow them there because we have not the means of transportation, and as soon as we make them run they tear up the railroads and bum the bridges. An army of 000,000 men spread over such air extent of territory, does not at any time present cm army of more' than 125,000 men anywhere, while they have the means of concentrating, as they did at Richmond, 225 000 men against 95,000. If it waß at all necessary, I should take some of the' gentlemen to task who criticise McClellan. [A voice, li Yes; three cheers for McClellan,” which was respond ed to.J Wbat do they know about it?’ Here is a gentle man with liis slippers on, and his heels cocked up over the grate, with a glass of- whisky by Ms side, and ho is fighting tiie battles of his country with Ms newspaper before Mm. McClellan, Burnside, and all the other generals in the field arc of no account with this individual. They are worth nothingatailin his estimation. They say, why did not Gen. McClellan go up the James river in the first instance. Look at the map again. Y oik town was upon the York river. Yorktown was in the way. .We besieged the town, and were ready to throw five hundred tons of iron on them every day when they skedaddled. [Laugh ter] They evacuated, as they call it. [Rene ved laugh ter.} We bad to follow them up the York river. We started on Sunday morning, the 4tli of Mayj.we-followel them pretty closely, and got up with their rear guard on the afternoon of that day, and gave them a handsome dressing. They then went to Williamsburg, and we caught up with them there, and after fighting for eleven hours, although they were vastly our superiors, wa whipped them out. They then started up to where the York river receives the Pamuokcy, at West Point, and they were wMpped there, and have been whipped in every battle fought on the peninsula. McClellan has now got into a good- position, that ia really and truly nearer Richmond, because Ms supplies now reach him without any long and tedious wagon haul. Tf'you will send him troops to Bupply the losses of the recent battles he will be In Richmond almost before you can conceive of it. * And now a last word as to theae critics who understand so well the. art of war. I have got a recruiting office open in Third street, below Callowhill, and I want just such fellows. Every man who thinks he can direct this campaign better than George McClellan can, let him come there and put down his name. Let them show that they are really in earnest, and not mere talkers. If theF have real merit, it will not go unrewarded; but their proper place is now in the ranks, with musket and sword, patting down the rebellion. ' I now introduce to you Judge Kelley, who can make a much better speech than X can. \ Judge Kelley was then introduced and spoke for some time. His remarks were well received’. They will be found in another column. SPEECH OF MB. JAMES CHATOCET. Mr. James Chauncey, a Kentuckian, said that he, for several years past, had been a temperance lecturer. Giving a Bhort sketch of Ms life, he said that he had en tered the service of his country to battle for the su premacy of the 11 starß and stripes.” At the battle of Manss.ashe was wounded, and wrote to his father, whom he supposed to he a sound Union man like himicif, that he bad been wounded. A reply came to him from his father in a short time, saying that he bed beard that he had been killed, and was sorry that it was not so. He then informed him if he did not leave the Union Borvice he would no longer own him as a son. : The speaker replied that he should ataud by the Union*, and not care whose displeasure he might incur. He loved his native State, but he loved the Union bet ter ; and in retiring said that he was only a.private ia the Scott Legion, and invited those who desired to enter the service of their country to go along with him, ami put their names on the roll of tho Legion. SPEECH OF MB. LOGAN; Mr. James Logan reviewed the early history of our Republic, and highly eulogized tho President of tho United States. In this country- alone has it been de monstrated that man is capable of- self-government, and he thought it must be an advancement toward a state of barbarism and despotism when m any part of the United- States it is an offence to have the Stars and Stripcß in the house. ; . In the South men have been severely punished for this ; and now, in turn, it becomes the duty ef loyal.men to in flict such chastisement upon them as they justly merit. SPEECH OF WILLIAM NICHOLSON. Mr. ’William Nicholson then made a stirring speech. He said that the Southern traitors, who had for their ob ject to spread the infernal system of negro, slavery, can not do so by fair argument. In talking the question,, they have been vanquished, and now they have appealed to arms, and upon this-issue we must meet them as men and citizens of the United States, .ready to endure any thing for the sake of the Union.. They find bullets more effective than words, and in tbat way we must reply. To carry, the war into Africa, we must carry Africa into the war. [Prolonged and vociferous cheering.}- The people of the North w£o, but a few months ago,' would have scoffed at the proposition, are now in favor of it This will be tli© most effectual way “to proclaim liberty throughout the land to all the inhabitants thereof,” To procure a speedy and sure victory,- wo musfc employ ail the available means;.malm no dis tinction of country, as there are many colored men who are ready and willing to assist in crushing the rebellion brought about by those who seek to establish an aristo cracy founded upon despotism. Slavery shall pus away with’ the rebellion, and a laborer shall be deemed an honor to the land; This speech closed the proceedingsat the south western stand. It was near nightfall when the speaking at all the stands was at an end, and the great demonstration came to a close. If there was anything needed to settle the question of the zeal ous loyalty of the great mass of the people of Phi ladelphia,.the war meeting of Saturday furnished the convincing proof. Compliment to a Gallant Philadelphia Soldier. IhO' Sunday. JDisjjatch of yesterday contained tiia following notice of a gallant young Philadelphia offi cer, who has passed with credit through nearly every engagement on the Peninsula, and-whose regiment and brigade were fearfully cut up at the battle #f Fair Oaka (Seven Pines), the brigade sustaining a' loss, according bell, major commanding, and genera! officers of the Ele venth Begiment, Maine Volunteers, have transmitted to Governor €uriih document complimentary to Ser geant Major Edmund A. Wallazz, of the 101 th Pennsyl vania Volunteers, for his promptness, efficiency and per sonal bravery during the battle of Fair G3ks, where the two regimentß fought side by side. Mr. Wallazz was ea pedttUy mftticed by General Naglee, his Brigadier ral, in making up his report of the battle ol Fair Oaks, for havings gallantly assisted in saving the colors- of the 104th Pennsylvania Begiment under a tremendous fire of the enemy, and we are pleased to learn that the gentle man’s name has been handed in to General Mc'uleUan by General Casey, with a view to his promotion. Sergeant Major Wallazz is a native of Philadelphia, and a gra duate of the Virginia Military Institute,”' ' As an evidence of the good behavior of the 104th, and of the other regiments composing the brigade, we are pei milted to publish the following extract from General Kaglee’s official report of the battle of Fair Oaks: <* Velley after volley was given and received. An order was given to charge, but one hundred yards brought us into such close proximity with the enemy * that a sheet of lire was blazing in our faces. 1 " The ranks on both sides* were rapidly thinning, but still the great disparity in our numbers continued. So cJosb were the contending forces that our men, in many instances, whilst at a charge, poured their fire into the breasts of the enemy within a few feet from the point of thoir bayonets. This dreadful contest lasted until nearly dark. My lltb, 56ih, and 104th suffered dreadfully, lost the majority of their officers and men, and were compelled to give way, carrying their wounded with them. It was then, in the language of Ist Lieut. Haney, of the 104th, ‘that I (Lieut. Haney) and - Lieut. Ashenfelden, and others, led Capt. Oorcorau, Capt Swartziander, and Lieut. Hamlin, of the 104th, off the field. It was getting dark—it was probably half aa hour before dark. We went down the Nine mile road and along the Williamsburg road. The fighting was nearly.over; our troops were all retiring; we raw the enemy not over seventy-five yards in our roar, and no troops between us and them. All our forces were moving back, little regard being paid to brigade, regimental, or even company organization. Kearney’s troop 3 came, but did not stay long. Capt. Corcoran continually be coming wesker, we were compelled to carry him.* “ There was no running, and no panic, but all moved crowded together with a elngle purpose, and that one to make a stand upon the line of defences in the rear—the only ones of sufficient capacity to enable us to defend ourselves againßt vastly superior numbers until our rein forcements could be brought together. “ Company I, Captain Merrill, and Company E s . Lieut. Sabine, of the llthMaine, were on picket duty along the Garnet field, in front of which several rebel regiments marched about dark. Some of the men crawled into the wheat, and shot three of the fiold-oflicers asthey march ed by. When Sedgwick crossed the Ohickahominy, they immediately communicated with him, remained all night upon their picket line, with the enemy in their front and rear, and *on Sunday, at 9 A. M., csnie in, bringing more prisoners than tbo entire number of men in their ranks.” The Pay of Volunteers.— Recruits for old regiments will receive at the time of their enlist ments Premium for en1i5ting.............
