An -Unpublished Letter from the South's Great Chieftain With .bome Appropiate Suggestions by Mr. Meares. Dear Sir: I think the Confed erate veterans, when they meet soon in Winnsboro, would like to read a letter that their president sent to a gentleman who had named his son Jefferson Davis. -So, I enelose a copy of it for *publication, as it has not been printed hitherto. It will not only -interest them as a message from their beloved and revered comn 2nander-in-chief, as well as the -president of the country for -which they offered their lives to defend and for which he virtually gave his life, but it reveals to those who did not know him the dignity of the gentleman and the ca m, clear mind of the great statesman that Jefferson Davis was, so that his words will equally interest and instruct the genera tion coming on to take the places in our Southe:n States of thbe old CJonfederate veterans. That part of his letter begin ning, "Force cannot settle a ques tion of right," contains a truth that is inanswerable, and is so clearly stated that it ought to be taught word for word to our children who are learning of Jef ferson Davis as a character in history simply, and from books and teachers, often alien and hos tile to the principles of constitu tional government that the Con federacy sought to maintain, and failed, so that the further surren der of the reserved powerS of the states is going on in an accel erating degree to this day. R. A. MJeares. [corr.] Beauvoir P. 0., Miss., 10th Sept.. 1879. My Dear Sir: Please accept my sincere thanks for your kind let ttr forwarded from Memphis and received here. There could be no higher pleasure than that of naming a son after one who 1s estimated by the service he hias rendered: arxd 1 acknowledige the evidence you have thus given o; your esteem. 1 send as requested a photo graph of myself and with it mj )N SHOE CO.

CallahE prayers for the welfare and hap piness of you and yours. My earnest wishes that every good may attend your son are cordially S offered. The shadows that now rest on our beloved South will, I l hope, be lifted before he reaches t man's estate. That hope is based 1 on a firm belief in the potency I of truth and the conviction that c the cause for which we contended I is as necessary now to the hap- 1 piness and liberty of the people e as it was when asserted in 1776,e and reduced to a more practical f orm in 1789. I entirely concur in your opinion that it best becomes us, undert existing circumstancee, t' yield ai faithful observance of it: obliga- < tions resulting from a reunion of the states; but this does not in volve the admission that our defeat was a decision against the justice of our cause. 1 Force cannot settle a question of right ,and they talk idly who e say admitted the question of I State-iights to the "arbitrament c of the sword." Our revolution- i ary sires secured these rights for t themselves and their posterity.; c Who of this generation had the e function or the power to submit to the ordeal of battle the historyi of their successors, to installr the fickle God of War as the 1 judge of their political inheri-' tance and that of their childrenf and their children's children for ever? Trusting that your son, my namesake, may see the constitu tion restored to its early con- I struction, and the states arcord-te in1. to the compact of union in j the fall enjoyment of all the un delegated powers, and that all I' his ends may be his God's andb his country's, I am Truly your friend, (Sigued) Jefferson Davis.
