FRIDAY, MAY 11, 1866. : ' vnrW ?' > > ' VOLUME YTV ivn a ELOQUENT TRIBUTE TO KB. DAVIS. Tlio Fond du Luc (W.is.) Press, "an able and distinguished 'conservative journal, pays the following Iributo to tlie illustrious stataman and uncomplaining prisoner nt Fortress Monroe, and makes a demand for his roloaso on tho purest grounJs of reason. .It says: Wo havo always regarded it as a fixed fact that sooner or later Jefferson Davis would ho released, without .being brought to trial, unless, indeed, liis captors succeeded in their evident design to murder hiui, by tho slow torturo of rigorous confinement to which ho has been suhjec ted. It would bo impossible to convict him aa a traitor beforo any court, except, indeed, a military commission, composed of sucb creatures a3 the the men who pronounced the death sentence upon Mrs. Sur? rait, whose memories will bo execrated through all coming time. Not only did Jefferson Davis commit no act ot" treason, but we telioro that first, last and always, hia acts woro governed by motives of the purest and most disinterested patriotism, lie betrayed no sacred trust, he made 110 effort to elevato himself te positions of honor and power, like a elfish aspiripg politician; but of all the brilliant array of Southern talont,'eloquence and genius assembled in the Senate chamber at "Washington, he was the acknowl? edged leader and superior of all. "When the people oj the State be represented called upon Lin, as their Representative, to withdraw frun Congress, he promptly responded ; an I of all the Southern members - who bowed, hoir haughty farewell to the Senate, hejnado the most' polished and courtly adiqu. Attbo time the Government of the Confederacy was formed, his vast experience a*U unequaled abilities as a statesman imde him emphatically the political leader of the South, while his pleasing address and hia. intelloaUml. cupnriarity ovnr all tl?? other distinguished men of the South madehim the idol of the Southern people.

LATHARTINE?BYRON--LEGARE. It is announced that Lamartinc, for a very largo sum?accounts dill'or as to the amount?has engaged as to writo tho lifo of Hyron. To exaggeration, false sentiment and romance, Lamartino will give fnll rein in this biography. Not one of lus romance?, we venture to say, will contaiu more romance. Upon tho simplest fact he will hang'n garland of artificial sentiment, exotic and forced, but so perfumed and presented as almost, to seem natural. Byron's deformity will be made a beauty, and wo shall bo told over again, oven in moro exaggerated phraso than wo have yet been told, that in his limp ho resomblcd 'an angol who had tripped against a star.' Sportive fancy will be at it3 wildest tricks in telling of the playfulness of the Lord of roots, and the gloom of n morbid' imagination will darken into fitful changes of tho storm in dwelling on Ilia wnrvrnrflncao orwl ilnmoo a .....?? tic misery. "\\re. 6uspcct that Lamartino will Gnd raoro fault with Lady Byron than ever Byron himself found. In short, we have no idea that Lnmarline is at all a fit person to givo tho world a true biographical presentment of Byron. The glorious role which Lamarlino exhibited in his oratorical displays in French Revolution is the great scene in his life. Even that was melo-dratnatic. It suited the Frenxjli people. But Lamartine's shameless indebtedness ? his shiftless and reckless expenditures?his bold and brazen beggary, which over and over again has obtain unit means io.uvo like ft prodigal, who snly loaves tho 'com husks' to get moans to wallow in n fatter sty?without any lessons of repentancce or regret, even when importunity and shamelessly renowcd petitions of indulgence cannot keep him from Lbo 'corn husks' neain. Strange that a man so brilliantly endowed as Iiamartine is ;honld resort to a beggar's repeated importunities. But ho Beeras to bo of opinio n, according to tho phrase so common at the East, that tho world owes him a living?a princely one, by tho by?is his estimate, and lie acts accordingly. No good life of Byron has vet been written. It should bo written with a keen, incisive pen, which should not only tell tho 1...4 ? ? kiutu, Duo'Uiigiiivo nb uiurai in ttie page as f in marble?distinct, impressive, clear. Moore's life of Byron is too full of orientalism. .To use one of Byron's phrases, bo :ias an oriental 'twist in bis imagination'? tropes and figures, and especially pet aimlies dance in metaphorical mazes through lis imagination like a wanton troupe in bis )wn loves of tlio angels. What Moore lays gives us no idea of Byron. 'Tis the veallh of Byron's letters, which Moore has ipread so abundantly?like a voin of cold ?through his png03 which unfold to us ho truo clue to.Byrou's character. Mooro'a lonitneots upon them are but mysteries tnd metaphysics which darkcu rather than ducidato the commonest facts which he i$ ryiilg to explain. In the whole/rAnge of . English literature and criticism of English jfigin, the best criticism and - analysis of Dyron's cbaraclor and poem3 is that of Ma:aulay, in the Edinburg Review, on^Mooro'a ifo of Byron. But in our humble estima,ion, "tho best analysis of the personal ;baractor of Byron, by any critic, of tho >ld or new world, is.that written by our jountryroan, timj, true Southron, Hugh 3. Legare, which appeared year3 ago iu tho Southern Review; - . . Legare himself had physical imptfrfeciions which raade him sympathize witli Byron?to say nothing of his excessive sen utiveness which mad& it a torture to him in his wayward moods, to be even looked it.

His bold tones, like shot and shell, seemed to dash against tho bouses opposite, while the vast multitude listened as one man, until at some mighty poriod^of consummate eloquence they broke forth with shouts that echoed far and wide over the Monumental City.

How proud we felt of South Carolina! 1 Wo remember tho piessuio of Preston's generous hand, and his proud as he said j to us, "The best of them can't beat him." Shall those days ever come again ? We 1 hopo they will. We believe they will. What Calhoun, Preston, McDutfio and 1 i.egare liavo said shall'keep tho presligo of ^ South Carolina green in our souls.

Tho places that knew them will soon know them no more forever, uuless an affection assumes the gracious oilice of of conservator of tho touching memorials of tlio patriots who exhausted themselves in tho common effort, and at last fell, far from home and kiudred, to unworthy sepulchres. When ono thinks of the trials of tbeso gallant men?how they nnderwont all privation and suffering, and how at length they dared and accepted death?it is a most affecting spectacle to look upon the sunken tombs, tho .rotting headboards, that will 60011 cease to individualize their names, their deeds and characters, and will leave these heroes of a good fight and an early grave to nn indiscriminate and pitiless forgetfulness. It is not supposed that any of them were alone in this world, with none to think of them or caro for them. The father had all the connections of a family to mourn his uutiiueiy fate; the husband lies far from the wife that would have died for him ; the sou''has left a mother that weeps for him and will not bo comforted; and the hand of gentle sisters whoso soft finger would havo smoothed tho contracted brow that warmed with a thought of home, and then grow cold forever. But solitary let him be, without kith or K\a? "IBs is his country's now anil fame's ; One of the few immortal names That were not born to die?''

Bernard Pallisty, the French potter, to whom we/owe the j discovery of enamel, believed in and acted upon it. For many years?upwards of twenty?he experimented, recarrtloan poverty and reproach, on the substances from which lie expected to derive the cor-* cted article. He burned liis table*, chair a and floors in his{furnacea as fuel. Sickness smote his family, and all his children, six in number,died. Still he persevered. Hi* neighbors declared that "it was fit tho old fool should die of want/sinoe he had ken his trade to run after a chimera.' Bat i Pallissy continued to .ply. his furnaoe, where he sweatfi till the garters slid from, his attenuated legs. Ia ?few simple and pathetic sentences he described his own fbrilorn and persecuted oondition: My credit I was taken away from me and I was regar~ ' ded at a madman. Under these scandals I I . , - ' pineu away and stepped with^ .bowed head through the streets like a man put to ?heme?

The hour 'in which a great man discovers that the grandobject of ; i bis life has been achieved, is worth Um whole monotonous existence of a common* i-place driveller."- But for ita earnest man the world would stand still. Every branch of human knowledge has its martys as well as religion, and if the-.weaker sort cannot follow their example, they should - at least have the grace to crown them.
