J Speech of Ex-President Davis. | At the meetiug of ex-Confederate |! so'dicrs and tailors held in Richmond I a few days since, Mr. Davis made the : following eloquent speech : As Mp. Davis arose to walk to the j?tand every person in the house rose lo his feet, and there followed such a storm of applause as seemed to shake the very foundation of the building, whili chccr upon cl.eer was echoed from the throats of veterans saluting one whom they delighted to honor.Mr. Davis spoke at tangrir/'amfricith his' acjns'o .e I thriiling, mov-ing eloqacaoe. Ilo addressed his hearers as <(^old?crs and sailors of ibo Confedo acy, cotarados and friends Assembled on this.sad occasion, with the grief that follows the loss of him who was our leaders ou many a bloody battle-field, a pleasing though melancholy spectacle is presented. Hitherto, and in all times, men have been .honored when successful, but hero is the case of one jvho, amid disaster, went-down to his grave, and those who were his companions in misfortune have assembled to honor his memory. It is as much an honor to ?l. ? ?< /> na ?.-* Iiim tpfin rr>r?f>ivps.

Lee was my associate and friend in the military academy, and wc were associatcaand friends when he was xl soldier and I" a Congressman; and associates and friend's when he led the armies of the Confcdracy and I presided in its Cabine*. Wc passed through many sad scones together, but I cannot remember that there was ever aught but perfect harmony between us. if ever there was difference of opinion it was dissipated by discussion, aud harmony was the result. I repeat, icc never disagreed, and I may add that I ncverin my life saw in him the slightest tendency to self seeking. It was not his to make a record, it was not his to shift blame to others; but it was his, with an eye fixed upon the welfare of his country, never faltering, to follow the line of duty to the end. His was'the heart that braved every difficulty; his was the mind that wrought victory out of defeat. He has been charged with "want of dtsh " I wish to say that I never knew Lee to falter to attempt anything ever man could dare. An attornpt has also been made to throw a cjoud upon his cbaraotcr, because ho left the army of ifc'A"TTnitad Sfntns (o iron in tho Rtrii" gle for the liberty of bis State. Without trenching at all upon polities, I deem it my duty to say one word in reference to this charge. Virginian born, descended from a family illus trious in Virginia's annals, given by Virginia to the service of the United States, he represented her in the Military Academy at West Point. lie was not edueated by the Federal Government, but by Virginia; for she paid Iter full share for the support of that institution, and wwr cntU?ca iu uuuiauu lrr return the services of her sons. Knteriog the army of the United States, he represented Virginia there also, and nobly. On many a hard-fought field Lee was conspicuous, battling for his native State as much as for the Union. He came from Mexico crowned with honors, covered by brevets, and recognized,. young as he was, as one of the ablest of bis country's soldiers. And to prove that he was estimated then as such let mo tell you that when Lee was a Goptain of Engineers, stationed in Baltimore, the Cuban Junta in New York selected him to be their leader in the struggle for the independence of their native country. They were anx XV/UO iv ovvutv 1110 OCI I ivvn UUU VHVI VU j him evoTj temptation that ambition could desire. He thought the matter over, and, X remember, cime to Washington to consult idc as to what he should do, and when I began to discuss the complications which might arise from his acceptance of the trust, lie gently rebuked me, saying this was not the line upon which he wished my advice, the simple question was " Whether it was right or not." lie had been educated in the United States, and felt wrong to accept a place in the army of a foreign power. Such was his extreme delicacy, such was his nice scdsc of honor of the gallant gentleman whose death we deplore. Hut when Virginia withdrew?the State to whom he owed his first and last allegiance?the same nice scdsc ol honor led him to draw his sword and thr'Ow it in the scale for good or for evil. Pardon me for. this biief defence of my illustrious friend. When Virginia joined the Confedracy Robert B. Lee, the highest officer in the little ?ryj?iu Richmond, and not pausing to inquire what would be his rank iu the service of tho Confederacy, \tent to Western Virginia under the belief that he was still an officer of the State. lie came back, carrying the heavy weight of defeat and unappreciated by the people whom he served, for they could not know, as I knew, that if his plans and orders had been carried out, the result would have been victory rather than retreat. You did not know, nor would I have known it had he not breathed it in my ear only at my earnest request, aud begging that nothing be said about it. The clamor which then nrnqn fnl. ! lowed "him when he we.nt to "South Carolina, so that it became necessary on: his going to South Carolina to write a letter to the Governor of that State, telling what manner of man he was.? Yet, through all this, with a magnanimity rarely equalled, he stood in silence',*"without defchding Himself, or allowing ftthers to defend, for he was unwilling to offend any ODe who was wearing a sword and striking blows for the Coofedirrcy. Mr. Davia then spoke of the straights to which the Confederacy was reduced, and of thWanger to which her capital was'exposed just after the battle *of Sever. Pines, and told how General Lee had conceived and executed, tho desper- i ate plan to turn their flank and rear, i which, after seven days of bloody bat- 1 tic,"was crowned with the protection of 1 Richmond, while the enemy was driven i A far from the city. The ppeaker referred also to the circumstances attending Gen. Lee's crossing the Potomac aud the march into Pennsylvania. He (Mr. Davis) assumed the responsibility for that movement. The enemy had long been concentrating his force, and it was evident that if they continued their steady progress, the Confederacy would be overwhelmed. Our only hope was to drive theui to the defence of their own capital, we being enabled in the meantime reinforce our shattered army. How-well Gen. Lec carried out tl a dangerjus experiment uecd not be told. Richmond was relieved, the Confederacy was relieved, nod time was obtained if other things had favored, to reinforce the army. Rut, said Mr. Davis, I shall not attempt to review the military career of our fallen chieftain. Of the man, how shall I speak ? lie was my friend, and in that word is iucludcd all that I could say of any tnan. Ilis moral qualities I rose to the height of his genius. Self! 1 : linnn tlif? nnfi I uenymg?iniv..? , idea of duty?>cli controlled to od extent that many thought him cold. Ilis feeling' were really warm, and his heart melted freely at the sight of a pounded soldier or tho story of the sufferings of the'widow and nrphan. Uuring the war he was ever conscious of the inequality of the moans at his control; but it was never Ids to complain or to utter a doubt?it was always his to do. When in the last cunpuign he was beleagured at Petersburg, and painfully aware of thestraiti to which we were reduced, he said : "With my army in the mouutains of Yirgiuia, I cuuld carry on this war twenty yens longer." Ilis men exhausted and his supplies failing, he waunab'c to carry out his plans. An untoward event caused him to anticipate the movement and the army of Northern Virginia was overwhelmed. Put in the surrender he anticipated conditions that have not been fulfilled?lie expected liis army to be respected and his pnrollcd soldiers to be allowed tho enjoyments of life and property. Whcthor these conditions have bccu fulfilled, let others say. Here lie now sleeps in the land he loved so well, and that land is not Virginia only, f ,r they d > injustice to Lee who believed he fought only for Virginia. He was ready to go anywhere, on my service for the good of his country, and his heart was as broad as the fifteen States struggling tor the p incipies mat our forefathers fought for in tbo revolution of 1776. lie is sleeping in the same soil with the thousands who fought under the same flag, but first offered up their lives, litre the living arc assembled to honor his memory, and there the skeleton sentinels keep watch over his grave. This citizen! this soldier! this great General! this true patriot! left behind hira the crowning glory of a true christian. His Christianity ennobled him in life,(and affords us grounds for the hope that he is happy beyond the grave, llut while, we mourn the loss of the g > - - il >lin drop TTC oteo traw*of FTmpatJiy for her who aUn w-1* his helpmeet in life?a noUTc woman, who, while her husband was in the field leading the army of the Confederacy, though an invalid herself, passed the time in knitting socks for the marching A trnninn fif tn Virt ttlfl mil. thcr of heroes?and heroes are descended from her.

Murder in Oranfeburo.?The Orangeburg jVrirs gives the following account of a murder which cccurred in the Forks of Edisto on Wednesday last. IitViN J, Porter is said to have killed Isaac Gardner. The Acas says: From the facts gathered by the Coroner, it appears that on Wednesday last several neighbors of a Mr. ,in the Fork, had met at his mill to assist him in raiting or repairing sonc parts of the house, amongst whom was the murderer, Porter. In thy afternoon of said d.iy Mr. Gardner asked Porter to one side, and commenced to question him about tmiu ubuju ui iupmiu l^vnt o? Imtl ?* ' - i ?i l dccu circuiaung 111 coDnecvion witu ana reflecting upon the family of the deceased. Every one who saw the two men conversing testifies that the murdered man was talking in a calm and quiet manner. Put Porter, stung, porhapF, by a consciousness of hisguiltin trying to injure the good report of an old gentleman's name, for no cause whatever, became desperate and swore he would receive a rebuke from nobody. Giving full vent to his ire, he pitched upon his antagonist with a heavy and dangerous knife. His first stroke took effect from the back of bis Deck around to his throat; the next thrust was made at his throat also but missed its aim and resulted in making a terrible gash across ono side of Gardner's face, cutting off a portion of his left car; the next was from his spinC-around to his abdomen, the other two piercing his left lung. At this juncture in the frightful tragedy, Gardner exclaimed : I am killed." Instantly after this exclamation, Porter seemed to have realized tho enormity.of the crime he had committed, and hastily betook himself to the woods. The persons present were, we suppose, so thunderstruck by the suddenness of tho affray that they did not think for a moment of arresting Porter, hence his escape. Gardner was carried home, thence .to tho grave-yard. Coroner'Treadwell however, ou reaching the spot next day, , had the body disinterred and examined by a jury of inquest. A verdict was rendezed in accordance with the facts. ii H t The Issues of To-Day. The ingeniously contrived frauds of the Radical party, which have defeated thqjllcform candidates in counties where a fair election would tell a widely different tale, do no', it must be conlcssed, account satisfactorily fur the re election of Governor Scott by a majority of 30 or 85,000 -votes. Striking-from'-the Radical vote every ballot which is believed to be improperly or illegally counted, the remainder is still sufficient to elect the Radical ticket* -Tltw wholly unexpected result can only be ex plained upon the hypothesis that the Reform movement, while it held the whites together, utterly failed in its endeavor to obtain the political support of the colored people of the State. The negroes were , assured of their bodily freedom. Their every civil and political right was recognized and guaranteed. They received practical evidences of the sincerity and candor of the whites. They have,nevertheless,spurned the olive branch that was extended to thcin, and the chasm dividing the two races is at least as broad and as deep today as it was two years ago.? Nothing was left undone which,could,, with propriety be done. Every source of argument and persuasion was ex naustca. jxcuner fautiiuu uur pvj.-uverauce was wanting. Yet the colored people?cajoled and abused as they have been?elect to office, for the second tiinc, the unprincipled intriguers who arc compassing the ryin of the Stato. Only 3 fo^ months tjgo,it was believed that the blacks only.^Iung to Radicalism because nothing better and purer was laid before them The Reformers accordingly organised their party upon the broad platform of accomplished facte and civil and political equality. It was evident that the nc?, grocs had nothing to fear, from the sueI cess of the Reformers; unless, indeed, it is their idea, that a corrupt and ignorant government oppresses the rich aud favors tl.c . poor alone? All the conciliatory, measures which zeal and i disinterestedness could devise, were faithfully tried. And, and at the end of it, the colored race are. as hostile to the white race as they were when absolutely nothing, was done to.ullay thc:r alarm, and to win their confidence and trust. It is evident that the whites can go no farther. *. They adhere to the principles expressed in the {ReformJ platform because those principles are just, and true, and right.. Rut they ; will not fawn upon and flatter the negro; and while they recognize hi3 political privileges, they will not allow those privileges to be exercised for the disorganization and destruction of society. The efforts of the Radicals to con vince the frcedmen that all white men wlio arc not Radical politicians, arc the' enemies of their race, have done the wprk thoroughly. It is hard to find, a negro who docs not regard the. whites as the authors of nil his troubles, and who docs not dream 6f a general- sharil>? of 4>oroopj- IuiiJm, i?f?lc-irrcut-. ...? J ctnol- IW-eolorcd majority in the legislature and out of it, hnyo more i power than they ever had before. That ! power they* will use remorselessly, in I redressing their fancied wrongs; in healing, as they phr se it, the wounds of slavery. Where they cried for political oquality they now demand the absolute supremacy of tbo negro race. They move quickly, and. nothing less than thorough organization on the part of the whites give any hopes of saving South Carolina from the fearful evils that threaten her.?Daily Newt. The Weather.?While the ,-city is stricken with disease, it as basking in | bright sunshine and all the glories of a premature Indian Summer. With such clear skies overhead, and t$ all seeming, such a balmy atmosphere, it is difficult to believe that a prstilence rages that hardly spares a single family house hold: So mysterious arc the ways of Providence. The Indian Summer upon us is usually the. halcyon season of onr Southern year, but a killing frost must break in between the teal and the real and tho counterfeit pummcr to make the latter healthful "and enjoyable. This year we have had no fro-t, and the old summer, with its malarial diseases, has becD tided ovor this beautiful season without a break; and under skies that Italy cannot excel, fever and death arc doing their baleful work. But let us hope. A change in the ordinary course of.thc seasons must soon couic, and purifying rains atid a killing frost cannot be far off. Mobile Register. Good Sense?The great trouble ainnn^ Amcrimn vouth is lack u?application and thoroughness in what they undertake. Anything that cannot be learned with superficial study, is given the go by (ot something less tedious and irksome btudy and liard labor are looked at from a wrong stand point; and, as a consequence, llic clerkship ranks are full unemployed and half Starved young men, and the professions are overflowing with mediocrity, while good mechanics find plenty of work at living prices. The evil spoken of is felt seriously. Those who work at a trade do it in so loose and careless a manner that they arc not competent to do the work they promise to do. Among the loudest decliimers for the rights of labor arc men and women who cUiiu no rights that belong.to labor well performed. A lady at Zaoestdlle, Ohio, in cleaning house, found a package of two pounds of powder, aod thinking it was lamblack, she threw ft into the fire.? Her husband thinks she has escaped, as nothing has been heard of her since, except a piece of calico dre?s, which was found on an apple tree in the orchard. f An Irishman said that if a few gooseberries gave so fine a flavor to. an apple pie, "it would be a darKnt of an apple pie that was made of gooseberries'intirely.''

The election held in West Virginia Jast week, says tljo Uhariottesviiie unroniclc, seems to linvc resulted in the general sncceFS of the Democratic Conservativc party. They haVc elected John J.

The State, sinco its organiza. jtioo, Jius been-strongly Republican, the 1 majority in 1808 being 4j-717 on the Governor's vote. The three Congress- j u.en elected in 1SGS were Republicans, so that the Democrats have gained two members and all the State officers ? Messrs. John J.
