f every soldier as the very best manual of duty. Mr. Pierson then made a statement of the operations of the Society, from which it appeared that there had been 29 city regiments fully supplied, and 5 in the course of supply. To these, 23,000 Testaments had been furnished. It was proposed to distribute 7,000 Testaments among the 16 regiments now forming in the city, which will bring up the total issues of the Society to volunteers, by the second week in June, to 30,000 copies. Many of Ellsworth's Fire Zouaves said, on receiving the Testaments, We will fight for the book, sir; we will defend it, sir. Mr. Smythe also gave an account of his experience as a Bible distributor. He referred to the action of Miss Brown, and said how delightful it was to think that at the moment her father was preparing to meet the enemy at Fort Pickens, she was going about at Fort Hamilton, like an angel of light, offering the gospel to the soldiers. The Rev. Dr. Hitchcock, in commencing his addre

ner presented.) The regiment then resumed the line of march to the Division Arsenal, corner of Elm and White streets, where the Committee had made arrangements for temporarily quartering the men, and where they partook of a dinner, the army rations being served to the men. The officers then proceeded to the Astor House with the Committee, where they dined and spent several hours in company with their friends, who flocked there eagerly to see them. When the funeral cortege of the late Col. Ellsworth approached the Astor House, on its way to Courtlandt street, Col. Tappan and staff mounted their horses and joined the escort. The 1st regiment is more completely equipped than any regiment that has left our city or passed through it. The men are fully armed and equipped, and in addition to the United States musket and bayonet, nearly all the soldiers were presented with revolvers by their friends on their departure. Beside the full supply of rations for the journey to Washington, they

ying his men in the upper part of the town, the enemy having all apparently fled, when he fell by a shot from a foe concealed either behind a fence or in a house; some say the assailant fired from behind a wagon; others that Col. Kelly was pressing him hard with a view of capturing him, when he wheeled and fired. This is not substantiated. At any rate, the shot was fired after the engagement was over, and was just such a piece of assassination as that by which fell the loved and lamented Ellsworth. The assassin was an assistant quartermaster in the Confederate force. His name is Simms, and he hails from Chesterfield, across the river from Richmond. He was immediately seized, and it is a great wonder that they did not make mincemeat of him instanter. The pistol with which he shot Kelly is an old-fashioned, old Virginia horse-pistol, carrying a very large ball and inflicting a most dangerous wound. The ball entered the left breast, and passing clear through lodged beneath the ski

ce! where there was no peace, so may we expect to be constantly hampered by declaimers in favor of compromise. I do not stop to consider the fitness of our lending an ear to such a cry until the insult to our flag has been atoned for, and until our supremacy is acknowledged, for the great mass of the people of the country will be unanimous on this point; they will regard the bare suggestion of treating with the rebels whose hands are stained with the blood of the sons of Massachusetts, of Ellsworth and of Winthrop, of Greble and of Ward, as a personal insult, and will reply to it as did Patrick Henry--We must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! The sword is now the only pen with which we can write peace in enduring characters on the map of America. The day of compromise is gone; that sort of thing, as the Secretary said, ended with the Fourth of March. We have had devices enough for saving the Union, devices suggested by the men who are now striving to destroy it. There
