President Davis was followed by General Howell Cobb, who, in a few remarks, made many happy hits and convulsed the audience with laughter. General Hood was enthusiastically called for. Slowly rising from his chair, and dashing his hat down like a blushing school boy, the General said: "Soldiers, it is not my province to make speeches.

The President, Howell Cobb, General Hood and Governor Harris made two speeches.--Senator Sparrow, from Louisiana, made a telling speech to Gibson's Louisiana brigade."
