We copy in anothet column, from
'the Charlestoh' Courier, ah atticle head.
'ed "Iteesting Stateinent of the Posi.
1ion of DAVIS and-the Confederate Gov
nkien" which will be interesting to
nittt of our readets. The writer,
though manifestly, politically and per.
wodally.opposed to Mr. DAvis, is Well
informed, and as impartial ad could be
expected of an avowed Opponent., He
ex0resse, the unanimous opinion of the
South, when he repudiates the possibilia
ty of Mr. DAVIS being in'any manner
connected with the assassp4tioli plot.
The tlting is prepostrous. We have
seen nothing as yet in the evidence ou
the trial at all implicating.him, even in
the testimiony of BAiss, which we,take
for granted will be overthrow* y a
host of witneespa.
The Writer alsi correcto th error au
to the amount of speie which has been
gr9eatly over-rated.' A person thoroughly
informed on the subject, assured us con,
fidentially, when it was paising througi
Vhis State; that inbtead of oe-eral iail.
-lions, as supposed, there were only
$400,000, chiegy in silver coin.
No one has ever supposed that Mr.
DAVIS prnposedi t'o use any portion of it
forshis personal use. In fact, the great
bulk 'of it *as divided outat Washing.
ton, Ga., among the cavalry w'ho had
acted as his escort to that place, and
were there disoharguO.
* Whatever errors and faults-have been
-charged 'to Mr. DWvis, corruption and
dishonity have never been imputed tc
Vin, eve* by the-rnost bitter of his many
enorfnie.4, so tar as we have over found,
The Courier says that the letter was
w~ritten by a gentleman who occupied
ot the most influenlial members of Jeff
Davis' Cabiniet thronghout the rebellion,
wld to set forth the actual condition o1
anffa~irq in the reb'el c'apitail durring the lat.

very little damaged. We were asbured
that by Sunday. next the shrill notes of
the whistle will be heard at the latter
,place, within five miles of Winusboro.
Those with whom we conversed in
f6rmed us that iron enough hanu been se.
cured to finish the track to our. town;
that the timber for cross ties had been
procured and in a short while our villa
would be made glad by the daily ar
rival of the cars.
We hope, as soon as trains commence
running- to White Oak, to fix upon some
plan by which we can secure - ur ex
changes regular and forward to our pa.
trons along tha' route our paper soon
after its publication in Winnsboro.
Who will aid us in the matter ?.
A General Amnesty.
Nothing. would have tended more to
the restorition of order throughdut the
8outhe'rn States, and the re-establish
mens of society and sound government,
thai the utterance, by the chief magis
trate of the natioin of the words of gen-'
oralpardon. This coursp, it.is nuder
stood, Mr. LINooLN would have pursued,
as was hinto in the negotiations at Old
Poiqt Comfort, and is implied in the aoc
tion of Gen. SaEnai[X, who believed that
he represented. the wishes of the Execu,
tive. That eminent fnctionary had on
vatibous occasions evidenced his instrue.
tions in that direction and his atrocious
and infamous assassinatibn, for which the
South is to be nowise responsible, hnd
which is denouncgd by every man in her
midst as the crime or crimes, prevented
its consioumation.
The present chief magistrate is 4 man
who has riven by. his own energies
and resources from the humblest statton
to the moot exalted, and in vigor of in.
tellect and -gresp of thought,, can find, no
superior. Much ought to be expected
from his large'a"d statesmanlike capaci.
ties.
The exemption of large, classes from
the benefits pf-amnesty, will-tend to keep
unsettliafor a long time the social and
indostrialsystep of theSouth, auid thus
prbvent its otherwise large contributious
to.thidntiongl ,wealth. If they who
controlk thWeapif.al and wealth, the in
dustry and the enterprise of the country
are stuck down and paralyed, chos
will'fr 'a long time prevail and" misery
and vice stalk forth everywhere.i
