That demoralized the troops and the country. There was no necessity for it, and it sprung from Mr. Davis’ desire to have the appoint ment of officers. He was crazy over his West Point Martinets, and when he could not appoint the officers of the volunteers, he went to Congress and demanded the conscript law, and got it. I said at the time: 'The cause is lost, and this shall bn its epi taph : ' Killed by West Pi dot.’ ” In general terms the absolute inefficiency at Richmond was the cause of our failure. Davis is a remarkable char acter. He is a good writer and that Is all. Ete was a slow man and always acted rashly at last. His delay was not caused by deliberation, but was a combination of variety and a refusal to think. Ho Is a very small military man. FKUEHAK. MinWMEK*. How Ike Present Chief Justice of 4a>eor|(lu was Treated. Chief Justice Warner, of the Georgia Supremo Court, Is now nearly eighty years of age and in good health. He was Congressman and judge before the war.* How he fell into the hands of Yankee bummers is thus told by the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel: In the spring of 1865 (and after the surrender of General Johnson, though that disaster was not officially known In Georgia) Judge Warner was at his plantation in Merriwether county, awaiting the approach of one of Wil son’s columns of Federal raldtte, which was than passing through the country. All the whites on the place fled except Judge Warner and his mar ried daughter. The latter had a child only a week old, and as she could not be moved, the father remained with her. During the morning several de tachments of cavalry had halted at the house and made fhomselves free with anything they desired in the way of “portable property,” but no violence was done to the Inmates. About noon another party arrived and stopped to feed their horses and to plunder. Af ter satisfying their appetites they be gan to pillage, and the Judge’s silver and other valuables were soon stowed away In the capacious saddle bags. While they were robbing the smoke house of hams and pickles and wines and preserves the Judge stood by in silence, watching their proceedings. After the building hadjoeen thorough ly pillaged, a- revolver was suddenly presented at his head and he was or dered to accompany the party. Mid way between the bouse and the “ne gro quarter” was a body of woodland and into this grove Judge Warner was conducted by his captors. Reaching a place secluded from observation the leader of the band, who wore the uni form of a Federal captain, took out his watch and said he would give him three minutes to tell where his gold was hidden. Judge Warren protested that he had no cold, but to no avail. They had been Informed along their line of march that he had a secret hoard, and the “d—d old secesslonirt” i must give It up. The prisoner urged that he had been a strong Union man ' and that the only money be had was ! in Confederate currency and In Cen tral Railroad bills. They robbed him j of $5,000 of the former and $15,000 of the latter, which they found upon his modes of L>tie of Con I« derate military men. His Idea of war was based upon the experience In the Breckonrldge person, hut continued to Insist that he campaign. I told him that ninety per J n a d gold and must produce it. At the cent, of war was business—that we expiration of the three minutes the must organize a victory rather than captain made a signal, one of tbe men took from a botse a long leathern Savannah withou* change, making cloKe con nection at Savannah with A.

Joe Brown, of Georgia, had more arms for a long time than the Confederacy had. Under pietense of giving the Unionists lime to leave the South, 1 kept our ports open for sixty days. No new Government ever started with such unlimited credit as we had. Wo had any amount of cotton offered us. I urged Mr. Davis to send this to Eng land as fast as it could be carried, and buy ships and arms with It. We could have borrowed any amount we wanted. The first loan was $50,000, when It should have been $5,000,000. But it seemed to be impossible to get the Government to look at it in a se rious light. I advanced some $15,000 myself for office rent, etc. Semmes was there begging for cotton and pledging himself to bring back ships and arms for every bale he took. He dually got, I think, three hundred bales. The Sntlhclal records of the Confederacy was a failure that would have been ludicrous had It not been so serious. With unlimited credit, backed by a rich and patriotic people, and controlling the leading staple of the world, oar bills were soon so low down that it was Said the Government ran the presses all day^ and tbe ue- groes-ran them at night. Had the flret sixty days of the Confederate Govetntttent been properly Improved we could so have organized that de feat would have been impossible. At om time it was announced that there was an error of $600,000,000 in the amount of the bills out and the amount on the books of the Government. There was never a moment during the war when Davis actually appreciated the situation. Why, after the march of the Confederates from Rappahan nock to Bharpsburg and back again, when they had swept everything before them, numbers not availing anything against them, Davis thought tbe war was over, an J actually began to quar rel about who had whipped it. He was as jealous as a Barbary ben, and onoe Started to have me arrested fot ridiculing him. I am thoroughly sat isfied that tbe establishment of a gov ernment under Mr. Davis was an Im possibility. Indeed, tbe flgbt w a* hap hazard from beflostog to et*. without method or statesmanship, and sns tallied only by miraculous valor As long as it wao. The Constitution was a good one, but there praise oC ih« Confederate Government aad Ha works must tad/” strap with a running cooee at one end, while the others extemporized a gallows by bending down the end of a stout sapling. With an oath, the of ficer made them select a larger and stronger tree, Judge Warner remain ing silent, for the sufficient reason that he had nothing to tell. One end of the strap was adjusted around his neck and the other fastened securely to a tree. The sapling was gradually released until the line -became taut, when it was turned loose and the Judge’s body dangled in the air. When he recovered consciousness the brutes still surrounded him, and he was again ordered to give up his gold under pen alty of death. He could only reply as before, and again the sapling was re leased. This occurred about 2 o’clock. When he revived the sun was nearly d >wn. He lay at the foot of the im promptu gallows, the halter had been removed from his neck, and the leaves, which covered the ground several In ches deep, wore burning within a few feet of him. He thinks the beat of the flames restored him to consciousness and to life. The wretches had left him for dead and set Are to tbe woods to conceal the evidence of their crime. The Judge was able to find Lis way to the house, where ho lay ill for many days. He Anally recovered and now shows no signs of tbe violence to which he was subjected. He is confident that the captain and soldiers who figured as amateur hangmen belonged to a regiment of Wisconsin cavalry, though he does not remember any of their names. Judge Warner Is wont to say that he has suffered all the pangs of dissolution and has been “as near dead as he ever expects to be.” IN© VIof* Fewer lit fUeEuplais.

The Republic, a Bow weekly journal published at Washington and edited in the Radical stylo of jouruallsm, at tacks Gene. Beauregard and Early on account of their connection with the Louisiana Lottery. While no charges are made against tbs honesty of the concern or the honor of the Generals named, the Republic sarcastically al ludes to the disgrace of the Confede rate uniform as depicted by a rebel major-general standing on either side of a lottery wheel acting ae an adver tisement for a professional gambler. Well, it is not a sight to make an cx- rebel burst with pride; but whose fault Is it? Has any Southern State einte they have had the management of their own affairs ever done anything for the men whose professions were strictly military, and who were educated ee peclally for the service and specially unfitted for any business calling, and who in the hour of their country’s need gave up their life positions, be lieving that come what would they could trust to the gratitude and sense of justice of their people. But what has been their fato ? The dfstiogufahad citizen soldiers, most of them lawyers and politicians prior to the war, naturally resumed their positions as political leaders af ter it was over and filled all the best places within the gift of the people, but what of its West Puiot con fere? Why after fourteen years’ deliberation Virginia has sent Joseph E. Johnston to the Bear Garden yclep House of Representatives. Another lucky West Pointer who commanded a division in Lee’s army is a doorkeeper in the Senate chamber, or as a briga dier who Is clerk in the station ary room says, " He totes cards to the Senators.” These three are the lucky ones, but how many of the gallant hearts have found relief from want and misery only in the graves to which they were hurried by the shame of their penury from which there was no hope of relief ? How fared it with the naval men who Lad spent their lives upon the waters and la stranger lauds. A few months ago a Confederate commodore died lu Baltimore while occupying the excellent position of crier to a court. This mau had commanded {Lets, lie was a midshipman In the fiigate Pres ident when she was captured by tbe \ British frigate Leopard In 1812. So jealous was he of the lights of Ameri can citizens, that he bombarded and destroyed the city of Greytown, sim ply because an American had been wronged, and the authorities of the place refused to do justice by him. His gallant flgTits from the mouth of the Mississippi to New Madrid during the late war are forgotten, and un sung, unhonored, without a stone to record his gallant deeds, the old hero sleeps where diappointment and desti tution can no longer weary or humili ate him. Another naval man, who can be seen roaming thestreets of W’asnington any day, always hunting for some politi cian who will be patient long enough to listen to his tale of woe, disppolnt- ment and want, Is the man who with an old steamboat at New Orleans, ran down and sank the sixteen gun sloop of war Varona. The captain of tbe Varona was made an admiral, and poor Kennon, one of tbe brightest and most gifted men la the country, can’t get sufficient employment to give him food. The South has no ships and Northern men decline to employ the ex-officers of the Alabama and her consorts. As most of these misguided men have been hurried by want into their graves, and an equal division of those left would not leave mere than seven or eight to a Southern State, would it not appear a little dignified if thoss States who induced them to forfeit their prosperous life positions should now provide for them instead of leav ing them to starve lu their old ages, or if fortunatfc, to be assisted by some former comrade in arms, who was for tunate enough to have been born north of the Potomac. Surely the bitter lesson that these men have experienced as to the grati tude and justice to be expected from politicians, whose persuasive tongues and loud denunciations tempted them from their bread and butter, and thou left them to starve, will act as a terri ble warning to future generations of purely professional military men, un skilled in the acienca of manipulating primaries or sampling cotton. .. .' sues ■ --■:***:«•• The flfew .Napoleon. It is very strange, and yet notorious ly true, that Prince Napoleon, who has now become head of the Bonaparte family, should have, notwithstanding he is a professed soldier and a repre sentative of a warlike stock, the repu- tation, to put it delicately, of possess ing fat more.discretion than valor. He certainly seems to have shown con- aiderable talent for keeping out of dan ger. When the insurrection broke out in the Romagna, forty-seven years ago —he was only nine years old then—he was forced to leave Rome, where be was staying with hia grandmother, Mme. Letltla Bonaparte, for Florence, on account of the complication of his cousin, Louis Napoleon, with the rev olutionary measures. After the fa mous coup d’etat ho retired to private life, but reappeared in Paris on the restoritlon of the Empire, to share the honors so plentifully accorded to his family. He was pronounced a French prince by a decree of tbe Sen ate, and among other distinctions was made a General of Division, although he had seen no service. In the Crimea he esmmanded a division of Infantry reserves at Alma and lokermann, but soon went back to France on a plea of ill health. He was openly charged with resembling Henry of Navarre in one particular—in showing the white feather, but In a very different sense from the man of Bearn. In the Fran- co-Italian war he was at the head of the French Army of Rescue, but was not engaged in actual iioatilitlea. Re flecting on the Orleans family in a speech In the Senate (1863), he was challenged by the Duo d’Aumale, but declined, to the indignation und dis gust of the army. He asked Louis Napoleon what ho should do under the circumstances, whereupon the Em press Eugenie said, bitterly r “ When a man thinks of fighting, cousin, be does not ask Such a question.” Louis Na poleon was convinced of his cousin’s timidity, and remarked more than once: “If a bullet should ever be found inside of Plon-Plon.it will be a bullet that heswollowsd.” The Prince is so little liked in France that be spends much cf his time in England. This Is a most unhappy fame for a public man. One would think that he would be always leading forlorn hopes, fighting empty tigers with pen knives, calling out every dead-shot to die dra- mactically or disprove his reputation. But poor Plon-Plon is not that sort of a poison. A FOURTH OF JULY ORA TION. Advance Report ©f the Address Hellvcrad at Gprlagdeld by Kx-€l*vera©r D. H. Chaather- W**derfhl* hat fty nbhlir IIIJah’s Hour. A curious scene was witnessed at the Presbyterian Church in Decatur, Ga., one dav last week. A negro woman applied for admlteion to the church. She waa called to Ihe altaf and under went examination! This was satisfac torily concluded, and she was then regtuarly received into the church. Asr It waa Oocmaunlon Sunday she was invited to partake of the service, aad did'oo. Senator John B. Gordon and Congressman Oaodleir were astoag the memberg who took communion with her. The aflahr fated tome talk, bqt was generally approved. !Detroit Free Pfess J There has been something of a cold ness existing between his Honor and Btjah for some weeks past, owing to the sudden and mysterious disappear ance of nearly a pound of mixed candy which had been left in the deck. Bi- jah’s theory was that rats took away the sweats, but otbar people held to other opinions, and the old man lelt that he was loosed upoa with suspic ion. This morning, however, all cold ness was removed by his leaving on the desk seven large apples of recent psttern and modern make. “ Mr. Joy, I have noticed of late,” said his Honor as he carefully laid aside the apples, “that you are very attentive to your duties. I am indeed glad of an opportunity to say so, and to observe that your conduct meets with tbe approbation of the court.” Bijah blushed as red as a girl, chased a fly of his bald head, and be looked seventeen years younger ac h© went in after his first prisoner. An old grandpa, nearly seventy-five years of ag“, and unable to move with out a cane, was walked out to answer to the charge of disturbing tbe peace. " Disturbing the what P exclaimed bis Honor as h9.lQ.Qkfd down upon the old gent; "Why this old man couldn’t disturb a canary bird !” “ Ho was raising a row In a dry goods store sir,” explained the officer. “A row ! Why it would take at least seven little old men like Peter Jone* to raise a row loud enoagt to be heard three feet!” “They sold me some kallker, and it wouldn't wash,” explained the old man in a cracked voice. “ Well, graadfte, you may go, and Bijab will give you a new bat before you go out.

Fellow-Citizens : I have been asked, as a Southerner, to address you of the North on this anniversary day of the blfth of our common Union. As a Southerner, I deeply feel tbe signifi cance of the request. Could our rep resentative men be brought more fre quently into oontact with the masses of your people, could we ofteuer meet, as to-day, to exchange congratulations on the permanency of tbe glorious fa bric which our fathers builded, and to join in the expression of sentimenu appropriate to this occasion, I know that much of the misunderstanding, jealousy and suspicious hatred that now alienate the sections would dis appear like the oulphurons smoke of yondef cannon that lately boomed. Therefore, 1 come willingly and frank ly, tn the true spirit of the Fourth of July, bringing to Massachusetts the friendly and sister greeting of my own beloved South Carolina. For South Carolina, tbe State of my adoption and choice, is also the State of my love. Born and bred elsewhere, with family ties and domestic associa tions elsewhere, I nevertheless, yielded up to her my love an J loyalty when I entered her Palmetto fringed borders in the dark days of reconstruction. I went there without money, without political influence, without previous acquaint ance with the people among whom I had cast my lot, but fortified with a strong moral purpose, and animated by a sacred missionary Spirit. I stood by South Carolina through ail the vi cissitudes of the experiment of univer sal suffrage—an experiment fraught with much personal danger, but of transcendency great importance to civilization. I stood by South Caro lina while her citizens grew poorer and poorer, and only left her when una voidable circumstances compelled the painful separation of our ways. It is true that my residence is no lotoger In South Carolina; true that my pro fessional and personal interests now centre elsewhere, yet my heart is still there, and an indictment for fefony committed within her borders Mill binds me to her sunlit grove* and sroflfng cities #lth a bond of exceeding strength. Therefore, as a representative South Carolinian, I thank you, men of Mas sachusetts, for the compliment which you have paid to my cherished State. An exile thanks you from the bottom of his heart. Whatever may have teen my political course during the happy and eVcntful years spent at Co lumbia, I feel that I at least brought away the affectionate solicitude of my neighbors. I feel that they remember me, and will continue to remember me. I know that they are anxious to get me back. I know that they recall my disinterested acts an Attorney- General and afterwards as reform Governor, with emotions of tbe liveli est character. They never can and never will forget the day when I, sol* rounded by men like Moses and Par* ker and Neagle, and Cardoso, and hon est John Patterson, but dominating them all by the force of intellect and purity of motive, exercised a perma nent Influence upon the destinies of the beloved State. They still recall my official utterance, lofty, ringing and patriotic, as when I wrote, M There Is an indefinite verge for eipaasion of power before us. It is proposed to buy $350,000 worth of Greenville and Oolumbla stock. This, with the $480,* 4)00 of stock held by tbe State will give complete control to us. We shall have in G. and a, 168 miles* to La ureas, 81, and. In B. and U., 70 miles—in all, 369— equipped and running. Put a first mortgage of $20,000 a mile on this, sell the bonds at 85 or 90, and tbe bal ance, after paying all outlays for costs and repairs is Immense, over $2,000,- 000. There Is a mint of money to this —on I AM a soot!” Nor can it ever be forgotten that at the darkest honr of South Oarolioa’s darkest day, when k burden of debt was chrushlng tbe people of South Carolina to the earth and grinding their estates and homesteads Info dost, when the block cloud of a State debt of twenty-six millions filled the whole eby and darkened the future; when able financiers like Parker and Monas and Cardoso were to despair, when Wilu amstox.
