than ourselves, we have taken your advice
Dr. Tussell gave you the text to ridicule
nud laugh at our raw recruits ; (as Southern
says in "Lord Dundreary'' he seems to
have been as mad on the American ipiestiou
us a Welsh wubl.it.)
You took it up, nud told us that to mnkc
soldiers out of farmers, and tradesmen, and
mechanics, and fishermen, there must be
hard drilling. We accepted your counsel
Kui'upf' poured in upon us hundred of her
best artillery, cavalry and infantry officers,
who, bursting with the love of liberty, were
anxious to give Union battle look at MeClel
lan's stair composed of brave Generals,
bold princes nnd future kings who already
have cried A llourbon ! A llaveloek ! und
let slip a luuMfed regiments, to sweep the
madman from his throne. At this time
there is not even one Richmond in the field.
Drill, you said we have drilled. Why do
you wait so long f then, you ask. We are
drilling, wo rcpUc.'. And I oovr point yu to
the million of drilled men that cover a battle
line of two thousand miles. Your mob,
again you said, your mob will never give up
Mason ami Slidell the mob did give up the
traitors, and furthermore received the Hri-
tisli olheers at Hoston, who were sent to
wage war against us with almost a royal
welcome !
lnu said, rou have no mnncv, nnd we
will not lend vou a shilling. Gi ntlimeii. we
never asked you for a shilling. And as I
ol-served on a previous occasion, the only
reul cuuse wr have yet given you for break
ing the blockade was the taking up the entire
Federal loan in our own land, without even
consulting. Mr. Sampson, of the Time,
liarou ItolliM'hild. of the London Stock V.
chunge. You said it was impossible to
blockade our ports. Gentlemen, there never
was a blockade so effectual, because there
never was war so extensive, or people so de-
I terminer.!, or adinmistration so strong:
I there is no cathartic, sufliciintly powerful y
remove the stones from the ruined hurl tor of
j Charleston, until the Federal power chouses
to exercise its elemepey again.
The Time HrssKLl. now aJmits the power
of our Navy, which you have ridiculed, and

are locked up, which, if let loose, Mould

Besides, our men who have been released
from Union prisons tell how kindly they
were treated while there. The accounts
excited so much uttcntion among our troops
that tlie exchanged prisoners were forbidden
to give further information, or to converse
on the subject with our men. Since I have
lain here, surrounded ly suffering nnd death,
1 have thought much of the causes of all this
sorrow uud desolation; and I am convinced
that wc of thu South had Wtter borne far
greater wrongs than we endured, or feared,
than to have brought such ruin on our

whole villages lie in ashes; homes are deso
lated, sous, husbands and fathers lie iu
untimely graves ; poverty invades homes
where hitherto his presence was undreamed
of; servants, loved und trusted, prove faith
less.
All the ties of life are severed, and.
disowned and unrecognized by her sister

but I fear vainly, for her existence, liel'oie a
foe whoso power she could not measure.
