Mothers were tbcro to give their approving smiles to tholr patri otic sons. Wives, to yield their husbands to do battle In n noble caup, and young beauty, to welcome, the bravo to the path of honor. Exercises were begun by the reading of President Lincoln's Inaugural, the farewell address of Gen. Alvord, nnd a written speech. After n patriotic song by tho la dies, tho Hon, P. 0. Parker took tin stand, nud for more than an hoar poured forth a perfect stream of fervid and patri otic eloquence, calling forth round after round or cpplauso rrotn the excited audi ence. Mrs. Jesse Applegatc then caused her fair daughter Sallle to read a short address to tho Indies, Informing them that they, too, had a duty to perform for their coun try, and wero none tho less interested in tho preservation of Its noble institutions than tho sterner sex. This little address (a copy or which I herewith enclose) had tho happiest effect. Every lady present signed her name to tho roll or tho Chris tian Commission, nud pledged lrseir to contrlbuto monthly, such offering ns she was able, to its funds, until this cruel war Is ended. Another national nlr was sung by the ladles, nud when tho young soldier took tho stand to invito his old friends, schoolmates nnd relatives to follow him to where foes were to be met nnd glory won, it appeared tho very spirit ofelo qnenco fell from his lips upon an electrified nudlcnco his burning words came direct ly from his heart, nnd went to the hearts of his hearers. It was a proud day ror him J a proud day for Yoncalla I When ho concluded, nnd tho young ladies march ed with waving banners to the tune of " Rally round tho flag, boys," igin of our best and bravest young men fell into line, and tho old and decrepld shed tears that they too could not Join the glorious procession.
