MASS MttTING AT THS Afr.CAK?nracß, THrRSDAV.?On Thursdaynext,at 12 o'clock (noon), a mass meeting will,be held at the African Church, withre-ference U* the rotent events which have |attracted the attention of the public?flipM-ri the State Legislature, it isI believed, will both adjourn, am) the bestspeakers in the Confederacy will be pre-sent Business in the city will, we pre-sume, be J.ncralry suspended% Thopeople from thesurrounding country areinvited to be present.

PrBI.TC MEFTINf! AT TIIF AFRICANChurch.?ln response to tho call ofGovernor Smith, of Virginia, to meethim at the African Church, the greatestconcourse of people assembled in thatbuilding last eveniWg that ever beforewereat one time collected under its roof.The meeting was advertised to be heldat half-past 7 o'clock. Before 5 o'clockevery scat and position where a mancould stand was occupied, and with eachmoment the crowd became greaterbyadditional arrivals, until at last what hadbeen a crowd became a jam. The gal-leries were so closely packed that seriousfears were entertained that they wouldgive way under their weight and crush allbeneath them. It was gratifying to see(his immense attcndhiico of a meetingwhose object was to hurl back into Lin-coln's teeth the insult put upon theSouthern people by his answer to theConfederate commissioners sent to con-fer with him on the subject of a peacebetween the twocountries. Standing inthat immense assemblage, and heaiingthe patriotic expressions of the citizensand soldiers there gathered together, onewas involuntarily carried back, by thesight and by the eager spirit that ani-mated all present, to the first days of |secession. Never before has the warspirit burned so fiercely and steadily.? jThe firm resolve to*resist to the very jdeath the demands of the Northern ty- jrant that now animates the whole South-ern 'people was plainly visible in thatmeet n j.

About seven o'clock Governor Smith,attended-by President Davis and severaldistinguished citizens, came upon thestand. The proceedings were opened <with prayer by theRev. I>. Burrows, of!the Baptist. Church. The Governo.addressed the multitude in a patifoticand soul-stirring speech, during whichhe was frequently interrupted by thun-ders of applause. He was followed byPresident Davis in an address of aboutthree-quarters of an hour, during whichhe was frequently interrupted with thewildest outbursts of applause. Upontbe subject of tiro recent peace commis-sion, President Davis said he himselfhad never entertained much hope of effecting honorable terms so long as our jctuse was meeting with reverses; but,under the circumstances, when semi-1official representatives had so frequentlyvisitedour Government, intimating thatnegotiations might result in a satis- Ifactory adjustment of our difficulties,and when it was plain that the suffer-ings of the people dictated that everyeftort, on his part, should be made tobring about a cessation of hostilities, hefelt it his duty, as he had always done, toappoint those whom he regarded asamong thebest men we Jiad, who'weremost calculated to heal the existingbreach which severed us, and ob-tain that independence for the Con-federacy from the Federal Govern-ment which no other Power on the:face Of the earth but the Yankees-would thinkof -denying. As to thecon-ditions of peace, President Davis em-phatically asserted that none save theindependence of the Confederacy couldever receive his sancjjon. He had cm*barked in this cause with a full knowledge of the tremendous odds against'ub ; but, with the approvalofa just Providence, which he conscientiously believ-ed wason our side,and the unitedresolveofourpeople, he doubted not that victorywould yet crown our labors. ? In his cor-respondence with Lincoln, -that funcdenary bad always spoken of the UnitedStates and the Confederacy as ourafflicted country; but in his replies he(thespeaker) had never failed to refer tothem as separate and distinct govern-ments, and sooner than we shoal-, everbe united again, he would be willing toyield up everything he has on earth,rind, if it were possible, would sacrifice athousand lives before bewould succumb.It was impossible at the late hour whenPresident Davis concluded to give any-thing like an accurate of hisremarks. Suffice it to say, that it waseverything which might have been ex-pected from so distinguished a patriot,-nd no one of the vast concourse pre-

sent tailed to be enthusiasticallygrati*Vw ecoocM«d by exhorting those

that the only palliation of our wretched-should b** the voluntary mercy of those who,iuryears, have murdered Out people and rev*our homes; that our Fooisl system shall bejdiahdy upturned, and hereafter ref, lated at

their will; that theuniform which our soldiers havemade so honoiab'.e bo stripped from their per-sons, and the llag, under which they have sooften rnarchr d tn victoi-y must be trailed in tiredu-t and tiiruvn away forever; thereforqJMt

" Resolved, That we, thecitizens here Irlßrniblrd,do spurn with the indignation due to ao gross an in-sult, thetcnn« on which the President ofthe Uni td

I Bfatss has proffered peace to the i topleof the Con-federate States.

?* Resolve*!, That the circumslances under whichI tlrat peatfet has l_wnmade aid to the outrage, andjstamp it as a designed and piemoditat.d indignityto our People.?? Resolved, That o_r profoundestgratitude i? dueto the soldiers who, f>r four years, have maintainedour libertiesagainst the utmost <-rforts Of our em -uii*-s; and that- while we look to themto illustratein the future the fame of the'past, we wft .sustainthrir effortsby every means and resource at ourcommand.

" Resolved, That in this presence, and in the facetheworld, reverently invoking, thereto the aid of

Almighty Gkd, we ren««v our resolve to maintainour liberties and independence; and to this womutually pledge'our lives, our fortunes, and oursacred honor." \/

After the adoption of the foregoingpreamble and resolutions, loud callswere made for Vice-President A. 11.Stephens, lions. G. A. Henry, of Ten-nessee; Hunter, of Virginia; Oldham,of Texas, and Rev. Dr. Duncan, ofRich-mond. The' two latter responded inappropriate speeches, of about twentyminutes each ; after which the meetingadjourned with three hearty cheers foreach of the speakers.

Last nfglit's. experience fully demon-strated the absurdity of attempting tohold the great mass meeting ofThursdayin this building?, or, indeed, in any build-'jng. It is safe to say that thousands ofI people went away last night unable togain entrance to the church. The Capi-tol Square is tho only, place in the citythat will hole] the vast concourse thatdesire and will attempt to hear the speak-ing of next Thursday. And we mayremark that the speeches then and theredeliveredwill be whatall thepeople havea right to hear, and what they ought tohear. The meeting should be on thef Capitol Square, and two or more 9tandsshould be erected, so that all may hear.

...? .The Court or Api-sals.?This court,

on Saturday last, refusejd the appeal aj-plied for by tho Commonwealth in thectse of William 11. Redwood. This set-tles the right of exemption from servicein the second dass militia ofall memberswho can prove themselves over fiftyyears of age, under the joint resolutionof the Legislature. -

Mayor's Coirt.?The following caseswere disposedof by tho Mayor yester-

James Newland was charged withstealingwood from Mr. Dunnington ; but,-after a hearing of the case, he was dis-charged.The case of John W. Leathers andJohn Konney, charged with being per-

sons of evil fame, and withrobbing MajorWilliam H. Gibbes, on the Petersburgcars, last Friday afternoon,' of two thou-sand onehunted dollars, was continuedtill the 10th instant. Also, Sarah Lea;thers and George Finnegan, charged withreceiving the same, knowing it to havebeen stolen from Major Gibbes.. Thomas Doherty and George Millerwere charged with permitting their chil-dren to deface the statue of HenryClay,?on the Capitol Square. The case wascontinued till such time as witnessescanbe procured.

The charge against Mrs. F. 11. Heflhyof annoying and disturbing the familyofE. Senof was dismissed, after a hearingof the evidence. ? ? °Ella, a slave, was remanded for trialbefore the Hustings Court on the chargo

of setting fire to the dwelling-house of'Joseph C. Courtney.Several negroes, charged with going atlarge, were ordered to be whipped. Afterwhich the court adjourned.Robbery.?The store-room of James j

Norman, on Seventeenth street, nesrLeigh, was broken jnto on Sunday night

J and robbed of about fifteen hundreddollars' worth of bacon, lard and meal.The basement window shutters werewrenched off by the thieves* therebygetting their free access to the depositaryfor Mr. Norman's provisions.
