SCOOI-MATE OF THE LATTER.
JEFFESON DAVIS.
EITroR SENTINEL: During the wau"

oceaMionldly, as citizens of the coi
m1on country andl parties directly in
torestedi in the success of our cau13se
freely duscussed civil matters, a111

AN a general thing, so far as our
own Ilmemo serves us, Presidoiit
Davis w-as decidedly lopulat,r witlh

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. S.,

should have a place in eve.Ca
erate househdld along side of til'

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. Lee or Stonewall Jack
