President Davis’ Tour.
President Davis passed Up the State
Road on Friday last, on hiB way to
Bragg’s headquarters, where he is at
pro so* t sojourning, kb appeared to be
in good health and spirits, and made
himself particularly agreeable and so*
aiable. He addressed a crowd at the
depot at Marietta, complimenting the
ladies of Georgia for their exertions in
behalf of the wounded in the late bat
tle, and also the citizens for the alacrity
with which they responded to the call
for troops, and eulogised the patriotism
and Zeal of the Georgia State Troops
and the distinguished veterans in the
field since the beginning of the war.
What his ohjeot is, of course, is un
known, but wo doubt not but that the
visit trill be productive of much good

A Feature of War.
The casualties of war exhibit striking
ly and significantly what is shown less
conspicuously, perhaps, but gradually
in the ordinary course of events, and
in the peaceful range of mortality, that
neither the good or the bad man finds
his reward in this life aud world. Some
of our best officers and soldiers—true
God-fearing men, exemplified in life
and conduct, and giving promise of
usefulness—have' been cut off in every
battle. What a glorious list and roll
of Christian soldiers and martyrs can
be made from the names of our fallen
heroes, from Jackson, the Christian
General and hero, to Hie youngest pri
vate who has breathed out his life in
the shook of battle, ahd yet in the calm
sorenity [of Christian hope and assu
rance.
We cannot comprehend all the pur-'
peses of the All-Wise Disposer in thus
ordering the shafts of Death, so that
good men are taken away in what seems
our hour of need, while others less wor
thy of life sro spared. It should teaoh
Us, however, that this life is not all of
life and destiny, and it Bhould impress
on all, and especially on all exposed
daily to the fate of battle, that no life
is perfect and well ordered, unless it is
equally prepared and attuned for con
tinuance in life or for translation to
the life beyond.
We mourn for the good and faithful
who have been taken from us, but our
mourning is tempered and relieved
by rays of Hervenly hope and oheoring
consolation. The virtues whieh en
deared them when living linger with
ub and around us to perpetuate their
names end examples.
We should mourn more sadly and
bitterly for those living who are not so
ready to die in and for the oause. We
should ask ourselves what additional
duties and responsibilities are devolved
on survivors by the removal of so many
of ouv good men, and oaoh in his own
■phero should address himself to his
■hare o'fthese responsibilities. We have
given priceless hostages and we canuot
without great reoreanoy fail in redeem
ing the pledges given in the life and
death of the good men who hare tes
tified their faith and devotion with
their blood.—Charleston Courier.
Hon. Thos. H. Watts, Governor elect
of Alabama, proposes to leave Rich

active, energetic .persevering resistance

BQy-We are gratified to learn that
the orisis of Gen. Hoad’s rooovery is

hope that this valuable officer may

Relationship of President DavTs' and
Gen. Brngg.
Mr. W. H. Sparks, of Louisiana,
Wfitt-s to the Macon Telegraph an inter
esting iuicouht of the history of Pros!-
pent Davis and General Bragg. Ho
sets at rest tho assertion that they
brotliors-in-law. Ho has known P
dent Davis sinoo lie was fifteen years of
agd, aiid his and Geh. Bragg’S tvivbs
sinco they Wore foUt- days old.
Jefferson Davis was born in Kentucky,
and rearedin Wilkinson county, Miss
issippi, tho oounty next abbve tho lihe
of Louisiana, upon the’ Mississippi r!9‘
er ; and every body knows that UiS first
wile was tho daughter of Gehoral Each
ary Taylor. This lady lived but a few
ihontbs after her marriage, when her
husband resigned his commUsibh at the
request of ids eldest brother Joseph E.
Davis, of Macon county, Mississippi,
wjio at a very advahcod age’ still lives,
and is, as ho ever was, one of' the
wisest and most honorable men I ever
knew.' His young brother was his idol.
He know ho had abilities of tho first
order, and induaed him to leave the
field and enter another field which
promised a wider scope for his talents
and a promise of greater usefulness to
his country.
In a few years ho beoame eminent in
Mississippi, and was attracted by tho
beauty, wit and talentB of his present
lady. She was the daughter of Capt.
William Howell, son of a former Gov
ernor of New Jersey, and Margaret
Kempt, of Adams county, Mississippi.
Col. Kempt emigrated to Natchez, at
an early day, from Alexandria Virgin
ia. Ho was an Irishman by birth—tho
land oi Curran arid Cleburn—and a no
bler son than' Col, Kempt, she never
gave to the world. Col. Kempt accu
mulated a large, very largo fortune, and,
though he has been in tho grave near
l.iJtlf a century, his to day, 1b but anoth
er name for chivalry and high honor.
When all the better days of his life
Were spent, Capt. Howell was untortu-
hate in business) when his lady, Who
still survives him, nobly surrendered
her patrimonial estate which being in
the state of Louisiana, was hor’s, and
not liable for the debts of her husband.
These it paid, and then commenced
the struggle of tho parents to roar a
large family) with very limited means.
How well they succeeded, look at the
President’s lady, one of the most ac
complished ana intellectual women of
the age.
Mis. General Bragg is also a native
of Adams county, Miss., her father
was Richard Gulliard Ellis, also a na
tive of the same county, to which his
parents emigrated before the revolu
tion of 70, from South Caroliuu. His
mother was a Galliard, from Charles
ton—a name prominent in tho history
of Carolina and tho United States.
Mrs. Bragg’s mother was a niece Of the
chivalrous Col. Towson, bo distinguish-!
ed in tho war of 1812 and ’15. Like
Mrs. Davis, she. is an accomplished and
high bred woman ; and like her too,
worthy of the noble man she calls hus
band. They are only sisters in being
born in the same State and county.
Aud tlio glorious old county of Adams
may well hold, them up to tho Confed
eracy as her two roses. This, is their
only relationship.

The Monster Gun at Charleston-—
We understand that the second mon
ster gun in Charleston has been tried
lately, under tho direction of a board
of officers with entire suooess, throwing
its huge projectiles over two miles, at
an elevation of only two degrees, tho
gun being not yot ready to fire at a
higher angle. This is far beyond any
thing over done by artillery before
These immense rifle guns are oonstruct.
ed on a new principle, whioh permits
enormous charges of powder to be. used
safely, enddhus imparts the required
momentum to the ponderous shells
and solid shot.
The injury sustained by the first gun
was an oversight, and it.is understood
from good authority, can be effectually
repaired. The powder to be used with
these guns is now being manufactured
at the, Government Powder Works |
and is quite a curiosity, looking like
anything else than gunpowder: [the
grains—if they can be bo called—being
solid blocks looking like ebony, one
inch square ; it would be supposed that
they were projectiles themselves by
their appoarance, each grain weighing
about one ounce.
A fire broke out in tho Philadel-.
phia dock yard on .the 15th of Sep
tember, whieh did immense damage.
It is supposed to have been the work of
incendiaries. It was thought suspicious
that the fire engines were not allowed
to enter the navy yard till nearly an
hour had elapsed after the fire had
broken out. At one time there was
every prospect of a conflict between
the red tapists and the firemen.
The Subsistence Question.
Wo fear there are few persons who
are aiivo to the reality that awaits us
in tho future, if some, change is not
speedily mado.in tho cost of the nec
essaries of life, In every Bection of the
country prices are so high as to pro-
duaa serious inconvenience, if not dis-.
tress. In some they have’ reached
point nlready when*honest subsistence
among tho poor and those of slender
means is utterly Out of tho question
On the other baud the advance in la
bor is by no means proportioned to
that of i ho cost of living.
Nor does this result -in any great
measure from a scarcity of provisions.
The product of the earth for tho last
two years (las been amplo for the com
fortable subsistence of the inhabitants.
It needs but to be properly apportion
ed to supply the wants bf all. What is
worse, tboro is nothing hopeful to look
forward to in the future, even with the
certainty of an abundant supply from
the agricultural labor of the present
year. Matters, instead of growing bet
ter, are becoming worse. _
Have our people stopped for one mo
ment to contemplate this alarming state
of uffairs, and the results to which it
inovilably tends—as inevitably as that
men, women, and children are obliged
to be led and olothe'cl in order to live?
We feel sure they havenot looked it in
the face with that sober gaze which its
dreadful solemnity should inspire in
the midst of all. We stand on the
brink of a moral volcano, and, with an
infatuation next to madness, sing, aud
pipe, and dance, and add to our alrea
dy plethoric gains, as if all weie well
and perfectly safe. God grant the
eruption may never take place!, But
Heaven will not save a people who re-<
fuse to save themselves, It acts gener
ally in its providence through human
instrumentalities, and it is those—the
thoughts, the hands, and the purses of
those who are blessed' with means—
that we would arouse into action in
order to save tho country from calamity
If the people refuse to perfoim this
groat publio duty, then tho strong arm
of tho law must bo brought in to avert
a catastrophe in whioh constitutions,
laws and the rights of property ore no
longer remembered.
This is a painful question for the
journalist to write upon,.and it embra.
