COLUMBIA, S. C. XabsaayH?rninK.HoTejalior 8,1670. wa.ffiuW ? . ' ' ' Ex-??iraoldcnt Jefferson Davin SpcaliS Hto Tfflbato to Leo. For tho first time since the fall of the Confederacy, ox-President Davis makes a formal address. The occasion that opened his eloquent lips was the death of Qen. Lee. Our readers will read with intense interest the report of his remarks, else? where given. His oause is gone, but the manhood of JEFFERSON DAVIS sur? vives. Tan STATE FAIR.-Already the fair grounds are presenting a busy aspect. Captain J. C. Bell is about finishing the mechanical departments entrusted to his supervision, and onr friend, Mr. Brown, is about closing bis coloring depart? ment. Everything is in order. Mr. A. Y. Lee has been busy with his artistic arrangements. And now Colonel D. W. Aiken, with an efficient corps of assist? ants, is in the efficient discharge of his ftitt?'?a iiuiDU uuwoa. To-day will be a busy one in the arrangement and reception of articles. Many have already been entered. The prospects are full of promise. An efficient police will keep order. -*~*^-> THE ARMISTICE AND PEACE.-The ar? mistice on the terms reported to be ar? ranged by M. Thiers and Bismarck has been approved by the French Republi? can Government, which itself has just been largely endorsed by the vote of the Paris population. All the probabilities are, therefore, that hostilities will not again be resumed between Prussia and Franco, TJ1? territorial question may, however, the Baltimore Sun suggests, yet present a sore difficulty with the French-that i?, they will find it hard to reconcile themselves to yielding to the quiet but apparently fixed purpose of Prussia to hold more or less, of Alsace and Lorraine, or at least to neutralize their territory. The armistice is to be based on the status quo existing on the day of signature, and allows twenty-five days for the general elections throughout Franco. It is a striking fact that the chief agents on the French side in pro? curing the arrangements are Orleanists. M. Thiers, who has been so busy with negotiations from one point to another, and who is now in bis 74th year, is an Orleanist, and General Trochu, now at the head of affairs, is said to lean that way. Bonapartism is dead enough, but there is room for apprehension, with the interest of monarohs brought to bear on all sides, and by the powerful victor iu the case, especially, that Republicanism is to have an unequal contest in which to maintain itself when the terms of peace come to be arranged. Since the above was prepared, the telegraph informs us that affairs havo taken a different turu, aud the war will continue to be waged. We await the turn of affairs with considerable interest. IMPORTANT CASES.-Three important cases are to come up oarly in tho De? cember term of the United States Su? preme Court. The first involves the constitutionality of tho cotton tax law, the second is whether the confiscation laws are constitutional, and tho third is as to the validity of tho civil rights bill. This last came up on a writ of error from Kentucky, being a case where a mau was tried iu the United States Courts for the murder of a colored man. TUE COLORED LEGISLATOR NOT DEAD. The colored legislator from Clark County, Georgia, Alfred Richardson, shot on Tuesday night in Watkiusvillc, according to tho Athens Banner, receiv? ed only a slight flesh wound. Richard? son has a one-horse doggery, and ono re? port says he was shot by some of his colored constituents because he refused to "treat." Another attributes the shooting to the mysterious Ku Klux. A fatal coincident is reported from be? fore Toni. Among the persons killed there daring the bombardment was a young girl who was literally torn into two piecos by a shell. She had been born sixteen years ago in front of Se? bastopol, and the fright occasioned by the bursting of a shell had brought about her prematuro birth and the death of her mother. On the 24th of Septem? ber lost she was killed herself by a shell. FATAL ACCIDENT.-Saturday morning, about 7 o'clock, Ansel Bryan, colored, of Mount Holly, was run over by a train on the North-eastern Railroad, while at? tempting to save his dog from tho same fate, his left arm, right leg and lower jaw bono beiog badly fractured. Ho survived but a short time. CASUALTIES.-During tho week ending with tho dawn of Saturday, Charleston hos been visited by an unusual number of deaths by aocidont and other sudden causes. A recapitulation exhibits tho following results: Sudden deaths, five; drowned, three; suicide, ono; supposed murder, one. SUICIDE.- Mr. A. B. Loug, United States District Attorney at Now Orleans, committed suicide a few days ago. When discovered in his room tho un? fortunate man was on his back, with his knees drawn up and arms extended. Mr. George Chapman committed sui? cido iu Charleston, on the 4th. Sp??cte ot Kl*PrMld?Ht Davis. AU^raeting-oX es-Goafoderato sol? diers and Bailors-ljeld ip Bjbbujonda fow days eiDQo,1 Mr. Davis modo the foUOvringr cipqnent speech: * As Mr, Davis arose, to walk to tbp stand ov?ry Bprsq? in the hoqbe rose to his feet, and there followed such a storm of applaso as seemed to shako the very foundations of the building, while cheer upon cheer was echoed from tho throats of veterans salutiDg one whom they de? lighted to honor. Mr. Davis spoke at length, and with his accustomed thrilling, moving elo quonce. He addressed his hearers os .'Soldier aud sailors of the Confederacy, comrades and friends:" Assembled on this sad occasion, with hearts oppressed with the grief that follows the loss of him who was our leader ou many a bloody battle-field, a pleasing though melancholy spectacle is presented. Hith? erto, and in all times, men have been honored when successful, but here is the case of oye who, amid disaster, went down to his grave, and those who were his companions in misfortune have as? sembled to houor his memory. Il is as much au honor to you who gives, as to him who receives, for above the vulgar test of merit you show yourselves com? petent to discriminate between him who enjoys and ho who deserved success. Robert E. Lee was my associate aud friend in tho militury academy, and wo were associates and friends when he was a soldier and I a Congressman ; aud asso? ciates and friends when he led the armies of the Confederacy and I presided in its Cabinet. We passed through many sail scenes together, but I cannot remember that there was ever aught but perfect harmony between us. If ever tbero was difference of opinion it was dissipated by discassion, and harmony was tho result, I repeat, xce never disagreed, and I may add that I never in my life saw in him tho slightest tendency to self-seeking. It was not his to make a record, it was not his to shift blame to other shoulders; but ib was his, with an eye fixed upon the ?welfare of his country, uover faltering, to follow the line of duty to the end. His was the heart that braved every difficul? ty ; his was tho mind that ivrought vio tory out of defeat. Ho has been charged with "want of dash." I wish to say that I never knew Leo to falter to attempt anything ever mau could dare. Au attempt has also boon made to throw a cloud upon his character, because he left the army of the United States to join in the struggle for the libertry of his Stato. Without trench? ing at all upon politics, I deem it my duty to say ono word in reference to this charge. Virginian born, desceuded from a family illustrious in Virginia's annals, given by Virginia to the service of the United States, he represented her in the Military Academy at West Point. He was not educated by the Federal Go? vernment, but by Virginia; for she paid her full share for the support of that in? stitution, and was entitled to demand in return the servicos of her sons. Enter? ing the army of tho United States, he represented Virginia there also, and no? bly. On many a hard-fought field Lee was conspicuous, battling for his uative State as-much as for tho Union. He came from Mexico crowned with honors, covered by brevets, and recoguized, young as ho was, as one of the ablest of his country's soldiers. And to prove that he was estimated then as such, let mo tell you that when Lee was a Cap taiu of Engineers, stationed in Balti? more, the Cuban Junta in New York selected him to be their leader in the struggle for tho independence of their native country. They were anxious to secure his services and offered him every temptation that ambition could desire. He thought tho matter over, and, I re? member, carno to Washington to consult mo os to what ho should do, and when I began to discuss the complications which might arise from his acceptance of tho trust, be gently rebuked me, saying this was not the lino upon which he wished my advice, tho simple question was " Whether il was right or not." He had been educated by tho United States, and felt wrong to accept place in tho army of a foreign power. Such was bis ex? tremo delicacy, such was tho nice sense of houor of tho gallant gentlemau whoso death we deplore. But whou Virginia withdrew-tho State to whom he owed his first and last allegiance-the same nice seuso of honor lcd him to draw his sword and throw it in tho scale for good or for evil. Pardon me for this brief defenco of my illustrious friend. When Virginia joined tho Confederacy, Robert Lee, the highest officer in tho little army of Virginia, came to Rich? mond, and not pausing to inquire what would be his rank in tho service of the Confederac3', went to Western Virginia uudor tho bolief that ho was still an of? ficer of the State. Ho came back, carry? ing the heavy weight of defeat aud un? appreciated by tho people whom ho served, for they could not know, as I knew, that if his plans and orders had been carriod out, the result would have been victory rather than retreat. You did not know, nor I would not have known it had ho not broathod it in mv ear only at my earnest requost, and beg" ging that nothing bo said about it. The clamor which then arose followed him when he wont to South Carolina, so that it became necessary on his going to South Carolina to write a lotter to tho Governor of that State, telling him what manner of man ho was. Yet, through all this, with a magnanimity rarely equalled, he stood in silence, without de? fending himself or allowing others to de? fend, for he was unwilliugjo offend any ono who was wearing a sword and strik? ing blows for tho Confederacy. Mr. Davis then spoko of tho straights to which tho Confederacy was reduced, and of tho darger to which her capital was exposed jiiht after the battle of Seven Pines, aud told how Goucral Leo had conceived and executed tho desperate plan to turu their flank and roar, which, after sevou days of bloody battle, was crowned with tho prof mond, while tho ?ne* tho rai&r- Tho io th? oi?ijamBtan* ?croeai?? the Pofcooap aod.tt , froh into -Pennsylvania/"'.Ho (Mr. Da ) tvos um ed the responsibility for that I movement. The enemy bad long been | concentrating his force, and it waa evi? dent that if they continued their Bteady progress, tho Confederacy would be over? whelmed. Our ouly hope waa to drive them to tho defence of their own capital, wo being enabled in tho meantime to re? inforce our shattered army. How well Gen. Lee carried out that dangerous ex? periment need not be told. Richmond was relieved, the Confederacy was re lieved, and time was obtained, if other things had favored, to reinforce the army. But, said Mr. Davis, I shall not at? tempt to review the military career of our fallen chieftain. Of the man, how shall I speak? Ile was my friend, and in that word is included all that I could say of any man. His moral qualities rose to the height of his genius. Self-denying always intent upon the one idea of duty -self-controlled to au extent that many thought him cold. His feelings were really warm, and his heart melted freely at the sight of a wounded soldier or the story of tho sufferings of tho widow and orphan. During the war he was ever conscious of the inequality of the menus at his control; but it was never his to complain or to utter a doubt-it waa always his to do. Wheu in the last cam? paign he was beleaguered at Petersburg, and painfully aware of the straights to which we were reduced, he said: "With my army in the mouutaius of Virginia, I could carry on this war for twenty years longer." His men exhausted and his supplies failing, he was unable to carry out his plans. An untoward event caus-1 ed him to anticipate the movement, and the army of Northern Virginia w;as,over? whelmed. But iu the surrender -?^e. | anticipated conditions that havo not been fulfilled-ho expected his army to be re? spected and his paroled soldiers to be | allowed the enjoyments of lifo aud pro perty. Whether theso conditions have i been fulfilled, let others say. Here he now sleeps in the laud ho loved so well, and that land is not Vir? ginia only, for they do injustice to Lea who bolievo ho fought only for Virginia. He was ready to go any where, on any service for the good of his country, and his heart iras as broad as die fifteen States struggling for the principles that our fore? fathers fought for in the revolution of 177G. He is sleeping in the same soil with the thousands who foqght under the same flag, but first offered up their lives. Hero the living aro assembled to honor his memory, aud there the skeleton sentinels keep watch over his grave. This citizen! this soldier! this great Qeueral! this true patriot! left behind him tho crowning glory of a true Chris? tian. His christianity enuobled him in life, and affords us grounds for the be? lief that he is happy beyond the grave. But, while we mourn the loss of thc great aud the true, drop wo also tears of sympathy with her who was his help? meet in life-the noble woman who, while her husband was in the field lead? ing the army of the Confederacy, though an invalid herself, passed the time iu knitting socks for the marching soldiers. A woman fit to bo the mother of heroes aud heroes are descended from her. Mourning with her, wc can only offer the consolation of a Christian. Our loss is not his, but he now enjoys tho rewards of a life well spent and a never wavering trust in a risen Saviour. Thia day we unite our words of sorrow with those of tho good aud great throughout Christen? dom, for his fame is gone over the water-his deeds will bo remembered; and when tho monument we build shall have crumbled into dust, his virtues will still live, a high model for the imitation of generations yet uuboru. Wo havo given but a faint idea of the eloquent thoughts and chaste oratory of the speaker. His words wero heard with profound attention, and received with frequent applause. Two colored men, named Andrew Johnson and Johnson Browu, had a difficulty iu Barnwell, on the 5th, which resulted iu the death of the latter. The murderer escaped. A destructive fire occurred in Frank? fort, Ky., on tho night of the 2d. The loss is estimated at over ?300,000. A mau named I. J. Porter murdered au old man named Isaac Gardener, in the fork of thc Edistoes, on the 2Gth ult. Napoleon's head is to be taken off the French postage stamps.
