Many of {he poor wounded men had been brought in during the cold week in January, with their blood-stained garments frozen to the skin, and their feet, and stumps were so badly frozen, that amputation and reamputatlon had to be resorted to. The speaker spoke very highly of the bravery of Batter ies A and Bof the Chicago Light Artillery, who have rendered their names highly conspicuous by their bravery in those dreadful cattles of Chatta nooga.

The speaker closed by saving that she bad been sent North by General uranc to call on the people for vegetables, aad she trusted that they would respond In a manner creditable to the liberality for which the Northwest is famous. Mrs. Livermore stated that the Speaker had been too modest in not saying anything about per sonal gerrlccs, and then related hi length several instances In which Mrs. Bickerdyko bad divested herself of part of her clothing that U might be used as bandages for the wounded soldiers. She had, with several other women, saved the Government thousands of dollars in keeping the clothing of the soldiers clean and in good order. Missßcxford, another hospital nurse, was in troduced, after which Mrs. Bickerdyko was re quested to make an appeal to the Board of Trade at their session to-day, also Inviting her to address the citizens of Chicago this afternoon. After changing the time of regular meetings to Tuesday afternoon, the Society adjourned. New Steam Fiee Engine.—A new steamer arrived in onr city yesterday morning, forming a valuable addition to the number we now possess. Chicago Fire Engines have long boon celebrated for the perfection of their mechanism, but the new one promises to surpass them all, as it contains all the most recent improvements. The engine, which is named “ Frank 8 hetman," after Ms hon or the Mayor, was built atthe celebrated Amoskag Works. Manchester, New Hampshire. It has a splendid appearance, its brass taps and bolts and copper air chamber, surmounted by the signal lamp, contrasting well with the colored wood work. The boiler and tank are surrounded byahandsome panelled casing composed of black walnut and cherry- wood,. strengthened by brass bands. “Frank Sherman" weighs G,£oo lbs.. Its boiler is supplied with 849 flues inches indiametecand two feet in length. There are two vertical steam cyllnoersof 8 inches diameter, and the force pumps arc two in number and of great power, being inches in diameter. It is possible to get up the steam In the engine in six minutes, when it will discharge 720 gallons of water per minute.

II is very difficult to analyze one's sensations while listening to her, and about equally difficult to remember the transitions of thought experienc ed as the lecture progresses. At first you think of the woman who stands before yon, with pale im movable features and almost petite look, and feel Inclined to wonder at her audacity. Soon the words flow out from her lips thick and fast, a torrent of burning, scathing, lightning eloquence, which car-* lies yon away in a sympathetic flow; yon forget the ' frail belngwbo stands on tbcplatform venting thorn energetic sentences, crammed full of undeniable facte, and fraught with self-evident conviction. The speaker is forgotten; the attention is fixed only on the theme, and you listen as one spell bound, scarcely noting oven the dose of those wonderfully lengthened sentences, uttered with out break or pause. It is only when the discourse is finished that tho hearer recovers his self-posses sion, and wonders that one eo weak In appearance should possess tho wondrous power of swaying the hearts of a multitude. The subject of ber lecture last evening, was; “The hour.” The lecture itself was first deliver ed shout amonth ago In the Hall of Bcpresenta tires in Washington, before' the President and Congress, where It created a favorable impression. Its reception last evening was most enthusiastic, the applause being loud and frequent. It was evi dent that she spoke to the hearts of ber hearers. They folly appreciated the valne of the troths she ottered, endorsing ber applications of facts and deductions of principle. The lecture of Mias Anna E. Dickinson last evening inMetropoUan hall before the Young Mon's Christian Association, was a perfect success. Not* withstanding the fact that on)/ two days’ notice was given, the hall was crowded in every part, and standing room was decidedly scarce. The lecture itself was one of those telling, voluminous, thrill ing eloquent efforts which it is given to the very few to otter. Indeed it may be perhaps. said that it is given to her alone, this singularly gifted young lady, occupying a position aui generis and selMUled. • Miss. Dickinson was Introduced to the audience by W. £. Doggett, Fresldeut of the Association. The lecture opened by an alloslon to the galliot little band at Marathon, where one against ten suc cessfully resisted the invader, ana whose bones were honored beyond those of the other warriors who fought end died for Greece. American histo ry had furnished many parallel cases. The battle fields of the South had witnessed the noble self* sacrifice of tens of thousands of pure patriots who bad followed where the flag waved m the thickest of the fight and were willing to die If they could but conquer. Why should they thus be willing to die? that the nation under God should possess a' government of freedom. We did not understand this at the outset; it was‘ neither comprehended nor truly spoken of; it is a war for the liberty of tho race—a contest against an oligarchy which despises labor and hates the equality ol man. Tho south has been fighting for Its oligarchic Institutions with a venom une qualled. We have not till recently admitted that the present is a death stoggle between freedom and slavery; that both were standing on the outermost ledge of the precipice, and that one of them must fall. When the President's first call was made we were told that the war was not waged for the purpose ot subjugation or of inter fering with tho constitutional rights of the South. When a certain General went to take command of the army of Western Virginia, (in mercy to him self, be should there bo nameless and would bo nameless for evermore), ho declared that he would put down slave insurrection with an iron hand. It was perhaps well that be did so, or we should never have known that he had an iron band; he never showed it in his contests with the rebels. But God, In his mercy, sent os defeat, and we saw then that wo could no longer hope to con tinue the compromises witU’tbc slave power,which would have been the nation’s grave. Like the booming of cannon over the sea. bringing dead bodies to the surfiicc, was tho attack on Sumter. The secession of Sooth Carolina showed the rot tenness and corruption of the slave power; the utter putridity ou which it Is founded. “Go a lit tle farther,’’ said a wounded soldier to the Burgeon, who was probing for a bullet, “and you will find the Emperor.” So the bullet, crashing through tho brain, and bone and muscle of the men of the North, has roused the loyal heart of the people. We are now fighting for liberty and freedom ; our rnlera will henceforth be like one of old'—too au gust to rule over a slave. .She then reviewed In scathing language the course of the traitorous men in the North who cried out against the administration and did not Join their brethren in the South becanse'they were too cowardly to fight. They spoke of corruption, stealing, blunders, mismanagement, disloyal gov- ' emments, and abases of power. She agreed mat blundering {and mismanagement bad been pro lific developed at tho outset, becflßßo as Ma jor General Patterson had asm: “Out of the 330 Generals commissioned at the beginning of the wart tt'7 were Democrats.” But these things are not so now. The days of tho shovel brigade are passed, and men are willing to . light now. She then dissected out in a masterly manner the com plaints and fault-findings of the Copperhead party, showing their inconsistency, and proving conclu sively that the only trouble with them was tbst the corner stone or slavery had been swept away, and the liberty of man as a man established. We have now been at war three yean or more, and we have vet to hear of the first deed of bar barism committed by a Northern soldier, white or blade. Bat who shall tell the numberless deeds of brutality and fiendish cruelty committed by our bnthren of tbe South. The maiming of the dead, the shoctlog of prisoners, making spoons and other ornaments from tbe bones of Northern men; these, and countless other deviltries furnished a damning record of tbe chivalry of tbe South, one which would never be forgotten, and the law abid ing, constitution loving, humanitarian mob of fifty thousand Breckinridge Democrats In tbe streets ot New York, showed themselves fit associates fbr the robbers of tho South. They hod said that tho blacks could not light. Let Congress look ont through the fogs of Wash ington and see how in Pennsylvania when not one white man volunteered, two companies of blacks went forth to the defense of tho Capitol. Soldiers of tho Union, they should be, and bonntled and paid as the other men. It Is a shameful thing that men sbonld be lying dead on the battlefields of the South and be in debt for their uniforms; it was a shame that the Government should seek to cave three dollars atnpnlh, out of those who were dying font. They had listened daring the week past to a man who needed no cnlogy from her, a man who for twenty years had endured the enrse of slavery, yet stood immeas urably superior to his owners. What bad ho had done for him by tho government? Nothing. Tet he bad said to bis three sons. “Go forth ana battle for the Union," and while for nine long months they ’ had battled without pay; ho had main tained their families at home. Soldiers of the Union, the blacks should he paid; they should have given to them the lands or the South, which had been earned hr centuries of labor. Put the black in the Constitution as a citizen; establish him in the country he has helped to save, and you ■ will need no Northern bayonets to save or pre serve the Union. • The amnesty proclamation is apiece of Northern meanness: the Government has no right to get down on Its knees to the people who ore still In anna and reject It with disgust. Subjugate them first: then offer them terms of peace, not before. another Insuperable objection; the President had usurped the fonctions of the Legislature In that offer. It was foolish; the South la stronger now than It was twelve months ago. We say we have cut the rebellion In two; yce, hut we have also concentrated Its power In the Last and West, and divided oar own. with* in a few days three out of half a dozen expeditions Lave fallen dead, and they will perhaps beat ns ten times or more yet before the war is closed. But it Is proposed to make them take the oath. The President is a lawyer, and a Western one at that; it la a wonder ho does not know that the oaths of each men are but as the Idle wind. Then it is proposed to let a State come back with one-tenth of its residents voting for the Proclamation. Let them come back and what Is the result? Bren if tfco States como back with new constitutions, they will soon join to form another, and bring back a state of things worse than the first. Neither is it fair to give the power into the bands of one*tenthofthepeople:ltwould generate a system of corruption unparallclcdln the world for its atrocity. It would bo no more fair to the men of the North than those of the South. It might be said that these measures would repqp nlate the South. Tes, but we do not want the South to be populated by any other than the people who belong there. Massachusetts skill in New England, and Western enterprise in the Western Stales are good In their places, but wc need the hot courage of the Southern men to fill Southern fields 01 industry, and develop the resources of the country. These men most be punished. South Carolina should bo cut up into twenty acre lots, and as many negroes settled on them as can be got there. Let the other States bo treated as territories hav ing a population which may be admitted into the Union as States, when they ore ready to do so with free institutions; with freedom established and se* cured for all time. The Northern men must not be taxed to pay the expenses of this war; the men who HavepUcd upon ourmindsthis, bard, blank, ghastly, horrible war, must not be al lowed to shirk off the burden. They must pay to the last cent for all the misery they have caused. But this result cannot bo accomplisnod by depopu lating the South. The plantations of l,0(W and 2,( 00 acres must be ent up into farms of 100, SO3 or SU) acres apiece, and say to the Southerners, “If you wish to settle down and cultivate that land as a decent freeman, do it: but if the negro or the Western man wishes to do the same on an ad joining piece of land, lot him do it to. There must be no shirking in this. The laud is tor him who will best develop Us resources—be ho from the South or North, be he white or black. We have already an enormous debt, one whose in terest Is alone a heavy burden.. .’Tb true wo are now prosperous, but the present prosperity of the North has been inaugurated by the war and will go ont with the close of the war. When the war is terminated we must open np new fields of In dustry, and use all our powers to prevent that re action which will came as a natural result of the war excitement, unnatural and exhaustive. Wc can secure this result alone by making labor canal, by raising the black labor to a par with the white, by removing forever the cause of the war— slavery—that which has disgraced us ever since we were a people, has given to European powers a chance ol intervention, which stands arraigned as the cause of the war. Let It die-let it go down forever. But this Is not at present provided for. As the case stands now no black man is sure of bis liber ty at the dose of the war. And in the border States we have no provision made for emancipn lion. We must have It there. We want the wealth of the border States to he developed, and slavery most he wiped out from them, from the whole land, and this warmust never close, peace must never bo declared till it bo on the basis of complete universal emancipation. . The speaker then referred to the scene which met her gaze when she spoke to the wounded sol diers in Chicago at the time of the Great Union Fair. She paid a touching tribute to those who have fought and suffered or died for the noblest of causes—the liberty of the race. She said: How the great heart of the people thanks you, and bears in ever green memories the recollection of you who have gone forth lor months and years to orave the storm of the death trumpet; you who by your devotion and Buffering in camp, on your ships, among tbe mountains of Tennessee, on whose tops the midnight fires have attested your devotion: you who in dond or sunshine, by daylight and by starlight have fought oor cause: your loss shall stand for ever as welcome monuments of your deeds, In the far South where the shot of the enemy tore down your flag, or the plains of Virginia welted with your heat blood, along the coastwhcro your ships have moved to and iro carrying your brave hearts on to victory. Listen to tbe voice of the people, to tbe glad and prond voices we lift up to hall on the soldiers as good and Ihlthlol servants, and from those who have fallen come forth words ol cheer; from their crowded graves come voices not to be mis taken, paying: “Finish the work which has fallen from our nerve! sa hands. Finish it now, so that In years to come the thunder of contending ar mies disturb not ourrest,” What answer shall we give them f These numberless martyrs,- these brave men who rest from their agony of conflict, may all future egea tread softly, lightly, tenderly, over their graves, wherever in tho boundless Invis ible their tents may be pitched, whether afar off In the regions of the illimitable, or whether they will gather round their old haunts on earth, shall we not give them an - answer with one heart, voice and feeling, that their work shall be ended—that the work left by them unfinished, shall he grandly, rightly done f And wc want the people to end It. .It is In your hands, let It not rest there. We stand pledged by tbe remains ot those heroic dead to fight for “Justice Truth and Freedom.'* •- We have done something more than to make the slaves men—wohave naturalized them. Never will we consent to see the who his spilled bis blood for us beta as a cnattci, or to see the race that produced each men. held la bondage. Bl era of these men we Live declared wtetn (obeotr countrymen, and sever shall any C<*mfrtDJUi Of otre—black or white—be held as a lag under which freed men and free moi lure mounted the parapet and atormed the jprtj. tlal fug under which they hare met the tomlt from the cannon's mouth, under which loth black and white have been laid away to inch eternal reef, never shall it ware . over elavM.OT be poltafed to protect the slavemaster and oeilcr in thcbod'cs and souls of men. Too, the podilc, bare to end tM« war, as it was you who began j it. it Is vour part to flcht the battiest, and to ’ secure the full coi" K:mmaron as did our Western soldiers at Mlßdlon Ridge, where the troops crossed the stood oner the rifle-pits, in the face of a gaulng the word of command. No order was heard to move forward. The iron rain of death was in front; the storm ploughed through their funks, dealing destruction to scores and hundreds of brave men, but they pressed forward. They were not asked to go. The officers quailed before the blast, but the common soldier dashed bravely onward, and stayed not till they had gained the ridge and won the victory. There were those who watched that forward dash and pronounced it madness, but the soldiers heed* not the sneers and scorn, or the pity of the spec latere: thiy were intent on the victory, and they stayed not till it gilded tbolr banners. Evoi so, O ye people: If year rulers falter, you will not: the Mieers and Bcofis of the complaining sorehead fac tion will pass unheeded. You will press onward to Iho full consummation, and rest not till the deliv ery be accomplished; falter not till the goal Is reached, and the fall entire liberty of the race Is secured and sent down as a legacy to those who shall follow ue in all coming time. FIRE AT CAM DOUGLAS. Three Barrack, and a Lot of Tools Burned-Loss SI,OOO. Yesterday morning, at 7 o'clock, afire broke out in tho upper story of the building now used as a carpenter chop, formerly Mcßride & Van Fleet's Sutler store, which was 40 foot square and two stories high. The fire probably originated among some sharings lying against the store pipe, but the origin is not known with certainty. The flames spread so rapidly that tho tools—considera ble In quantity and ralnc—were lost, as well as a large lot of sash and doors, all ready for patting .up, and the plans and drawings of the new hospi tal buildings were destroyed.* The Homes rapidly spread tothe line of barracks occupied by the 11th Beglmcntlnvalid Corps, and extended east to the guard-house which was partially consumed. The Sutler building, three barracks and the kitchens in their rear, 825 feet in length, were destroyed. The total loss is estimated at $4,(00, which ia about equally divided between the carpenters and tho Government. Tho prisoners made some demonstrations tow ard an escape^'congregating In squads and compa nies, and lookfsg'wistnilly around as if calculating the chances cf success. But tho guard was dou bled, and tho most efficient arrangements other wise were made to provide against an attempt at escapade; no break was made, tho prisoners wise ly concluding that the chances were against them. The Fire Department was on hand as promptly as the distance from the city would permit. Chief Harris was there early. The engines arrived in the following order: Long John, Economy, Little Giant, and Enterprise. The No. 9, hand engine, from I. C. Car Works, was also on the ground, and bad-a steam engine been located there, the loss would have been slight. Tbe safety of tho southern portion of the city urgently demands the location of a steam fire engine In that locality. A large building next south from the carpenter’s shop, was used as a convalescent rebel hospital, and bad at tho time 76 sick rebels in It. This building was hurriedly emptied of men, beds, Ac., but though several times on fire in different places it was not mnch injured, the flames being extin guished by buckets of water passed to men upon tho roof. The deserters (some of them In Irens,) and oth ers for violation of -military rales, were confined In the guard-bonce, and as tho fire approached near tho guard-honeo before thev were liberated, the poor lellows thought their time bad come, and yelled lustily tohe removed. Undern atronggnard thev were marched to other quarters. Col. DeLand, ■ Surgeon Whcclan, and several other officers pitched in like veteran firemen, else the fire would have been more extensive. Police Coust.—Business at this establishment experienced yesterday a decided improvement, and the day, which was a glorious one, for tho city treasury, will hear some comparison to the good old times, when drunkenness was not the only crime, and $3 not the highest fine. Since Saturday some sixty ambitions claimants for magisterial honors visited tho Armory and lent their cognomens to relieve the monotony of a blank docket.

Another Zarceny.— William Quirk was charged with the larceny of some old Iron, tho property of M. Cassman, owner of a foundry on Polk street.

The charge of lar ceny not being proven, one of disorderly conduct was preferred, and the prisoner fined S2O and costa. White ie Black at Last. —John White, who, by a strange freak of nature had been created a black man, was charged with disorderly conduct. John lives with a little congregation ox Ham's descend* ants, on Beilino street, and on Saturday night. In the exuberance of Ethiopian joy, wished to flsht not only the whole assemblage or Canaanitcs, but half a cozen white spectators in the bargain.
