Speech or President Davis kt fllont
. gornery.
The montgomery"Mail has the following
report: .
' Mr. Davi* began by - expressing a sense of
. gratitude for the.occasion, whichthe kind
. krteiitipn of ?ho Legislature had' given bim.
* of appearing befor? them, and aa'suring the
citizens of Alabama from that ?apitol in
which the first.notes of our existence -were
issued, of bis remembrance and sympathy.
Ha would not attempt to. conceal the f?ct
that we have experience^ great disasters ol
late. Thtv?jaemy'li?v? prcised oar armies
? backward int i the centre of Georgia, ihreuc
eued- the borders of Alabama, and occupied
the bay of Mobile, bul the city still Brands,
and will stand though every wall- and roof
slsould fall-to the'gfouna'. He bad been dis
appointed in all bis calculations in Northern
Georgia. . After sending t -cward '!*? the ar
my at DaDuyt all the reinforcements be could
. collect from -every quarter, includiug'The
. troops from Northern : Mississippi, he had
confiJenMy expected a successful advance
th'ough Tennessee iot6 Kentucky. Had he
tboaght that instead of Mb? iof*ward move
mont onr^arms would have retired to "A?lau
la, he would have left bis old,' lam- nted find
venerated frjehd, Gen. Polk, to haye assailed
Sherman upon bis flank by North Alabama.
Hut he had yielded to the id? a of concentra
tion, and the sequel wa* a;iyth'ing^tan wbal
be had been induced to hop?'.
Yot we were riot without .compensation
for our losses. In Virginia,despite tb"e odd}
brought against ns, we have - beaten Grant
: rrsd still -defiant hold, our lines before-ftiebj
mond and Petersburg. Tb?t pur? ?uti no:
ble patriot, that great soldier and christian
Gen. Lee, although largely, ont numbered ii
front, largely Outnumbered urx*i his fl auk"
commanded a body of men who bad neve;
koowa wh tt it was to bo whipped, and nev?:
fetopped to cipher.
. -The' time for action is now at hand. ..Then
is hut ono"d-jf^dbr.every Southern mau. 1
il lo go to the "front- Those . who. aro ubh
lor the field should not hesitate a" mo: jen
and those who are rut should *eek somi
employment to aid and assist the rest, and U
~ induce their able-bodied associates to seel
their r>r ?per placer in the army.
Mr- Oayis adverted to the part be hf^ bim
. self endeavored to'bear in-the war, of bi
repugnance.to flie offlco of tmief/audiiis de
sire for the field, incident to a-military am
bition, yid some faith in his capacity, fo
arm?. Hoalso al'n led to hw. long pol?tica
.career,-and the animosities and* ill-feeling
which au active par-t in the affairs of rb
oouut.y had engendered, He bad-feared, hi
*??J, j hut old prejudices in others might JJI
turned against himt and that old feelrngs' it
himself might influence his - action,-, but tba
" -'be could tit?^? .o-day, after fuUr years o
experKJnce.'and in the same, halb.where bi
swore before oiga beaven 'to support thi
Constitution of bia country, that sa help bin
God he bad never been indacedto any course
public or personal by any consideration ?
the past. He felt that it was no time, anc
be was pot the man, to have any friends tc
reward or enemies to punish.
There Hie some mani, said Mr. Davi -, who
when they look at the sun, can only_ see <
speck upon it. I am of a moro sanguine
temperament perhaps, but I have striven t<
beb?ld our affairs with a ???>l and candi*
*temperanco of heart, and applying to then
' thtijiost rigid test, am -tho more confiden
vhMcyjjer I behold the progress of the wa:
and reflect upon what wo have failed to do
w9 oftould marvel and thank God- for tbi
great achievements which have crowned om
efforts. ,
' He next rapidly surveyed our history foi
tho past tbiee ye;?rs, conclbding' bis resume
with a thankfulness that the great staple 01
the South had boen superseded by grain ant:
' produce for the support of our armies intbt
field. *'.*'.
He paid a gio* ;ng tribute to the capacity,
gallantry and patriotism of Governor Watts
?lid urged upon thc State end the. Legisla
te the wiadt-m of bis counsels. In the
same connection be-spoke of tho soldiers ol
Alabama, They had fougbteverywbere, ant]
well. They were still undaunted. Then
example should lr he pride mid glory ol
the State, and an eloquent appeal to those
who were yef behind. ? : .
Mr. Davis spoke eloquently of the horrors
oi war and the sufferings of tho people. He
desired peace. Ho bad tried to obtain it,
and-.had been .rudely repulsed. He should
still'strive/and by the blessing of God'and
the strong arm of the soldiers, yet boped to
obtain it. ?*?...
If there be those who b'oped to outwit the
Yankees, .and' by smooth, word9 arid fair
speeches, by {be appearance of a willingness
to treat or to listen to re union, hopeto e'ectr
..my cer'-iin onndidate in the North,-?bey de
ceive themselves. Victory in'the field is the
surest eleraentof strength" to a peace party.
Let us win battles and we sha'l have over
tures soon enough.
' Is ther? r. man in the South it) favor of re
construction ?.. Mr. Davis drew afine picture
?of the horrors of re-union, which means sub
jugation, ? All that I have to 'say,'vhe ex
cl?im'ed, in concluding ,thig portion of bis*re
.marks, " is that Ibo maa who is" in favor pf
this degradation's on the wrong side of tbe"
line of battle."

HORRID I?CRRER-The report of a dis
tressing murder which occurred near Lynch's
Creek, in.Chesterfield District, "baa reached
us. We learn that Mr.Buck Blakeney was
murdered by his own negroes, cu 1 bursday
night, the lath inst. They- expected ' bim
borne after night and wayluid bjm ; barrica
ded bis road so that bis boree and buggy
could not pass,' and wheo, be reached the spot
they attacked bim with lightwood knots, kill
ing him after a desperate struggle. The body
was .found near the roadside the next morn
ing, and .suspicion resting upon bis own- ne
groes, they were taken up ant} confessed tire j
crime. ? An investigation was bad on Satur-j
day, and on Monday following four- of the'
negroes were rx?cuted-three were bung and
one burnt. Two other negroes, belonging. lo
persons in the neighborhood and supposed"
to be implicated, are still under arrest. The
negroes a&t?d that their mv$ter bad been j
uniformly kindAo ihem andvthat they could
assign no can? for committing thia foul deed.

Our hospitable and high-toned friend, BENJA

fine beef. On tho very night beforo said beef
became non tit'intenta?, a wagoner, returning
from-Augusta with an empty wagon, hud camped
near the premises of our friend BCTTIS. Suspi- ion
rested upon upen, said wagoner. Upon repairirg
to the deserted ccmp, it was plainly seen that
tho dead' body of the luckless beef had been
dragged through the unnd to tba very spot^npon
which the wagon stood. Our friend - Burris ac
companied by his fa ?end T?inn) "set cut in bot

they join them. The four go a.mile further and

will Lincoln carry on bis war with abankru

seems to have been nothing but a- coyrnrlly
ov slaugbt Upon 'women and children, unarm*
