It is true we now aid then heiard cutting remarks mlael of him, 1)lt when properly un lersto)dl these could le l)1ainlV trad(rcl to the dlisappeoilted ambition of the speaker who gave them utt-erance. Few of us knew much personally of Mr. Davis and his antecedents and c'nred less. He was our representa tive head--tho 11ea1 of our Govern Inent. And as to his patriotism, honesty, tanct and courage, enough of him was known to ensure his not be in1g at all wanting inl this respect. It was well known flint his military rceord in the 1IniSt. was good, that his Win State had placed him in ia high -ic il pcsit ion, more that he had held he P1rt1folie at the Hlead of the U.

It will be the standart work that will enab)!e unhiasi1ed p.s terity to judge of our cause and ou. acts. Jefferson Davis is our name, tlhw name of our lost cause, and the Con federate who abuses that name abus es himself, and we should never al low any one to do so im our presence. But look on the first page of his book ;md see to whomi it is dedicated and in what words inseribed by Mr. Davis. And yet his old enemios; the Fed orals, might have some pride in the gallant Mississippian as to his record in the Mexican war-might rbnem' ber with what consummate abilit.; he administered the affairs of the Federal War Department, might re meiber how he graced the halls of the United States Senate. Even one U. S. Grant, him that was once a tanner, might remember that Mr. Davis once saved him from being dis graced and dismissed from the arny. In dignified retirement to-day, it is our humble opinion he is the great est 111an now living on this continent. He has for once disappeared from the ar ena of public life and will soon pass fron the scenes of oai-th. But he v ill live in the minds of men and ex ist there as a great man, a good and Smr man, who was the tinstecess ful head of a struggle ,for freedom, au lng as the English language lasts. As long as we live we will love Jeff Davis. JOE JOINS'ToN ANn) HOOD. In our struggle in the late war, Joe 'Johnston had his many 'ardeu1t admirers, and 8om1e Col nfederates even go so far as to ascribe our tail ure to the fact that Gon. qainston was not at the heln, and yet few of those men ever clain that he was su p)orior to Gen.
