Star Course, the Journal of tliat city says, among oiher things : "For nearly two hours the eloquent speaker held the audience in closest attention. It was a most pathetic recital of wrongs done iiuli■v duals, families and states zo promotc -the glory of southem leaders. Ihf. liumerous side was not omitted, ;;n('. the audience was convulsed with luughter by the speaker's inimitable mlmicry. The eloquent passage ui ero vociferously applauded. His splendid tribute to Lincoln, and his l'iaisc of the Silent Soldier, Grant, werc received with greatest ilemonsliations of approval.

The Cleveland Herald says : -'The vhole lecture, being f rom the cxpericlco of a man who saw the struggle of the Rebellion from the standpcinl of a Confedérate soldier, was uDique and peculiarly interestingfrom 1hat cause. The closing effort, a giaphle description of a battleüeld, the end of the war, and t'he return of the soldier, was a fitting close to th lecture and was loudly applauded '
