An elaborato bill of faro was pre sented from thc orator leal standpoint. Distinguished speakers from all sec tions of tho Union appoared on tho plnuorm of tbo immonso auditorium before enthusiastic throngs. The exorcises comprised Tuesday, Wed nesday nnd Thursday of last week, and patriotism was at high tide, Among tim moBt brilliant orators woro Qeorgo S. Peck, Chairman, Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, Arch bishop Ireland, Judgo Emory Spoor, of Georgia, Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, Prcsidont McKinley, ex-Vioo President Steven son, Gen. Milos, Gen. Shaftor, Capt. Sig8beo, Prosidont Angel, of Michi gan University, and Soorotary Gage. At 10 o'olook on Wednesday ovon ing tho preliminary portion of tho banquot having beou disposed of, a rap from the gavol of Chairman MnoVcagh called tho attention of tho guests. Mr. MaoYeagb, wno is always happy in his introductory re marks, introduced tho Prosidont, an nouncing that he would reply to tho toaBt, "Our Country." It was several minutes before tho ohooring had subsided sufficiently to allow tho President's voico to bo heard. His utterances wore fre quently greeted with vociferous ap plause Ho said in part : THK rilKSIDKNT's BPSSCH. "On tho suspension of hostilities 'of a foreign war, tho first in our his tory for over a half a century, wo have mot in a spirit of peace, pro foundly grateful for thc glorious ad vancement already made, and earn estly wishing, in tho final termination, to realize an equally glorious fulfil ment. "With no feeling of exultation, but with profound thankfulness, we cont?mplate the events of tho past fivo months. They havo boon too serious to admit boasting or vain? glorification. Thoy have boon so full of responsibilities, immedinto and prospectivo, ns to admonish tho soberest judgment, and counsol tho moBt cou?orvativo notion. This is not tho timo to firo tho imagination, but rather to di?covor in calm reason tho way to truth and justico and right, and when discovered to follow it with fidolity and courage, without foar, hesitation or woakness. "Tho war has put upon tho nation gravo responsibilities. Thoir extent was not anticipated and could not y vo been well foreseen. Wo can not escape the obligations of victory. Wc cannot avoid tho serious ques tions whioh have been brought home to us by thc achievements of our arms on land and Boa. Wo arc bound in consoienco to koop and perform tho covonants whioh thc wai has sacredly sealed with mankind, Accepting war for humanity's sake, wo must accept all obligations which tho war in duty and honor imposes upon us. Tho splendid victorios wc havo achiovod would be our otornal shame and not our everlasting glory if they wore led to tho weakening ol our original lofty purpose or to thc deBortioirof tho immortal principles on whioh thc govornmont wai founded and in accordanco with those ennobling principles has over boor faithfully administered. "Tho war with Spain was under taken not that tho United Statcf should increase its torritory, but thal oppression at our very doors should be stopped. This noblo sentiment must continuo to nnimato us and wc must givo to tho world tho ful d?monstration of our purpose. "Duty dotormines destiny. Des tiny, which results from duty per formed, may bring anxioty and perils but novor failure and dishonor. Pur suing duty may not always load t< smooth paths.

Looking backward wc car. se how tho hand of destiny buiidod fo us and assigned un tnsks whoso ful menning was not apprehended eve by tho wiflest of tho statesmen o their times. Our colonial ancestor did not ontor upon thoir war origi nally for independence. Abrahan Lincoln did not ?tart out to freo th slaves, but to Bavo tho Union. Th wnr with Spain wns not of our sock ing and somo of its confloquoncc may not bo to our liking. Ou vision is often dofcotlvo. Shorl sightedness ia a oommon malady, but tho oloeor wo get to thiuga or they got to us tho plonror our viow and tho IOBB obsouro our duty. Patriot ism must bo faithful as woll as fer vent ; statesmanship must bo wiso ns | sv?ii as fearless-not tho statesman ship which will command tho ap- j plauso of tho hour, but tho judgment j of postority. ".Tho progress of a nation cnn alone pro vont dogonorntiou. Tboro must bo now lifo and purposo, or tboro will bo weakness and decay, j Tboro mttst bo broadening of thought ns well UB broadening of trade. Ter ritorial expansion is not alone al ways necessary to national develop ment. Thora must bo a constant movement toward a highor and no bler civilization, a civilization that flhall make its conquests without ro 8ort to war, and aohicvo its groatost victories pursuing tho artB of pcaeo. In our present situation duty, and duty alone, Bhould prcsoribo tho J boundary of our responsibilities, tho 11 scopo of our undertakings. "Tho final determination of our purposo awaits tho notion of tho ] eminent mon who aro charged by tho { Excoutivo with tho making of the troaty of peaco and that of tho Sen ate of tho United States, which, by our Constitution, must ratify and confirm it. We all hope and pray that tho confirmation of peaco will bo ns jiiBl and as humane ns tho con duot and consummation of tho war. When tho work of the treaty makers 11 is dono tho work of tho law-mnkors will begin. "Tho one will sottlo tho extent of our responsibilities ; tho othor must pr?vido the legislation to meet them. Tho army and navy havo nobly and heroically performed their parts. May God givo tho Executive and Congress wisdom to porform theirs." Tho men of tho South who have dolivercd addresses during thc jubi lee have won golden opinions. Tho speeoh of Judge Spoor, of Georgia, at tho opening mooting Tuesday was a revelation to thoso who had nover hoard him, and tho address- of | Clark Howell, of Atlanta, who re sponded to tho sentiment, "Our Reunited Country, North and South," was in all respects equal to that of tho eloquent speaker from his own Stato who had preceded him. It caught his audience, and caught thom hard. MK. CI.AKK HOWELL, editor of tho Atlanta Constitution, responded to tho scntimont, "Our Reunited Country, North and South-once estranged by war, but again united under tho Stars and Stripes. Nothing less than war could havo demonstrated tho real strength and the intenso loyalty of tho rounitcd people" Ile said : "Mr. Toastmaster and My Fellow Countrymen : In the mountains of my State, in a county remote from tho quickening touch of commerce, and railroads and telegraphs-so far removed that tho sincerity of its | rugged peoplo flows unpolluted from tho spring of nature-two vino-cov ered mounds, nestled in tho solemn siloneo of a country church yard, Bugg08t tho text of my response to tho sentiment to which I am to speak to night.

Sinco writing to tho Commet tho last timo wo havo rocoivod letters from prominent gentlemen in othor counties, saying thoy had Boon tho lotter in tho KKOWJCK COUBIKR from Catcochoe, and woro very anxious to know tho prices of land, tho torms, &c, around tho dorris Cotton Mills. Now, ns that lotter will, no doubt, provo beneficial to some poor soul who may want to leave ono cotton country and go to another, tho bono fit of whioh is not for us to say, wo want to touch upon another subjeot. Wo want everybody who wants to buy tho "weed" to correspond with us about it, too, saying what they will givo us, when they'll pay it and all about it. Thc subject is tobacco. Wo want to know through tho columns of tho KKOWKK COUHIKH what has becomo of tho Walhalla Tobacco Factory, whether it is . run ning or not. If it is running, why don't its stockholders let tho outside tobacoo raisers know it ? There aro sovoral farmers in Pick ens county who have raisod fino Drops of tobacco this yoar and thoy uro vory anxious of finding a near market for it. Wo think it would pay tho stock holders of all tho tobacco factories to invest a little cash just now in printer's ink. Wo know of plenty of men right now that have raised tobacco to ship rind thoy don't know no moro where to ship it to nov how to proceed to got tho money for it than a ten-year old givl knows how to mako a pot of soap. Wo hoard a good farmer mako this expression tho othor day : "Talk about not raising cotton and raise tobacco," ho continued, "Where in tho dovil would you find a ready market for tobacco just now when ? man is needing tho money?" Ho wont on to say if it was a bale of cotton ho could havo its nook washed, put a guano sack "shirt" on it and r. black pair of "galluses," throw it on an ox wagon, take it to town and got 4 cents a pound for it. That is just why so much cotton is being raisod. It is the only thing that will demand ready cash. There is*nlways a market oloso. lt will bring tho monoy, though it bo bitt little. Tho most ignorant person cnn raise, soil and get the money for it. It will continue to bo tho loading orop until tobacco markets, or some othor enterprise, are established at our doors, so to spoak, where wo can find ready market for what we mako.
