He came as a regular iu the course, and tnis season us an extra. On the oc casion of his first visit he carried his hearers with Dim by bis eloquence and personal magnetism, and in speaking of the lecture afterward, we pronounced it a “benediction.” Tliis second visit was even mure successful than tbe first.

John B Gordon last night at Library Hall to bear his new lecture, 'The First Days of the Confederacy.’ This, his latest effort, will prove a fitting companion in every respect for bis other now famous lecture, ‘The Last Days of the Confederacy.’ The speaker’s stirring oratory and bis vivid words carried tbe old veterans back to tbe years when they fought and bled for what they believed to be right, and also opened tbe eyes of the younger generation present to much about that awful conflict which bad never before been brought home to their realization. Tbe lecture was at once filled with the sentiment of de votiou and reverence for the Booth, its lost cause, and its heroic armies, and also rang and resounded with the spirit of national patriotism Gen Gordon, grim, scarred Confederate leader that he was, believes with his whole heart in a reunited country.
