Speech of Mr. Jamison.
Delivered on retiring front the Alabama Sen
ate, August *24?A, 1863.
Senators: My electiomto the Con fed
ora to States Senate, renders me,' from the
commencement of the term of service' in
eligible to hold a place; amongst you as a
membor of this body, I shall, therefore,
this morning; tender my resignation as
suoh. -Beforo doing which, bowoverj I
tender you my resignation: as your pre
siding olilioer, that you may at once pro
ceed to till my place.
Elected to fill the yacaney occasioned by
the death of the lamented YanCey. whose
eloquence and perseverence in the equse
of Southern rights contributed more large
ly than the efforts of any other mah to
bring ahoutour separation from the old
Federal Union, and ur whom, up to the
period of secession, as well as Upon the
question of secession itself, it is wellknown
that I was opposed in my political views,
it may not be deemed inappropriate to
briefly state my views as to what course
the Government and the people of the
Confederacy, in the prescut trying emer
gencies of the. country, should pursue.
The question of secession is of things
that are past. It has become & part of
the country’s history. Future historians,
other men ahd other times, will pass a
more impartial verdict as to its wisdom
and its policy, than the present genera- |
tion. But it is for the present generation
to decide its own political status. It mat
ters not whether our separation was right
or wrong, wise or unwise. The alterna
tive now presented to us is, to press for
ward, arms in band, until we have achiev
ed an honorable and glorious indepen
dence, or to tamely and basely submit to
tho lowest political and social degradation.
However ardontly. peace may be desired,
there is not, I trust, amongst us, or ia the f
Confederacy, one who would accept peace,
on any other than honorable forms. Who
would, for the sake of peace, be willing to
see the Southern people consigned to polit
ical degradation and doomed to a social
equality with our slaves ?. We are told by
oiir oppressors that no terms of peace will
be accepted but upon tho unconditional
and immediate, abolitidn of slavery, And
confiscation of rebel property,. If there is
any man in the. land who would accept,
peace on these terms; he deservesa traitor’s
doom. . *//. , ' 5 -'
Though a more able and eloquent advo
cate of Southern independence, my pre
decessor, if living, would not give to the
cause of our bleeding country a more zeal-..
ous and unwavering support than myself.
Whatever clouds may darken the pros
pects of our independence, let us not de
spair, or despond. Let us bear in mind
“ the race is not always to the' swift nor
the buttle to the atroug.” Relying upon -
the justness of our cause, and-imploring
the favor of Divine Provideuce, let us press
forward to conquer an honorable peace or
honorable graves. Let us know no such

prayer. It was impressive in the extreme.
There he stood, this exile preacherlrom
the far South, .with eves and hands raised
to Heaven, not a mnsle or, expression
changed, not a note altered, not a sign of
confusion, excitement or alarm, naught
but the calm, Uhristaiu face uplifted and
full of the unconsciousness to all save its
devotions, which beam, from the soul of;
true piety. Not only the occasion, hut
the prayer was solemnly, eloquently im
pressive. Tho reverend Dr. prayed, and
his heart was in his prayer, it wasthe long
prayer, and he did not shorten it; lie pray*
ed it to the end, and the cannon did not
drown it from those who listened, as they
could not drown it-from the 'ear''of God.
He closed, aud then, without panic or con
sternation, although excited and confused,
the dense crowd separated whilst shells,
were falling on the right apd left. '.*

President Davis and his Enemies.
We copy .from the New York. Times' an
extract from an. article in that paper,
which should put to-shame,..and will do so
in. the j udgement of the people, those, wri
ters who spend their, time in depreciating
President Davis. This;paper,- while it
hates our President with venom, arid de
nonces him, in his connection with the
“ rebellion,” with a virulence that com
mends him to our sympathies and affections,'
is not insensible to bis eminent abilities, hut
word as “Jail" Lot our lips never whis-*
per it. Let'it not enter into our thoughts.
Let us banish it even from our drearris. -
All Affecting Scene.
The Rebel gives the billowing-affect! ig
description of the first, intimation given to
the citizens of Chattanooga ortho presence
of the enemy on the 21st iristau i.
One of the most impressive seeiVe we
have ever witnessed,-occurred in the Pres-
byteriun .Church ,on yesterday. '.The' ’ ser
vices were being held by ilev. Dr. Palmer,
of New Orleans, and the r ^ews and aist.es
were crowded, with officers and soldiers,
private citizens, ladies, arid-. children. A
.prayer had been said Arid one«{f-tb6 hy mps
flung. The organist was absoiil, “ and I
will, be thunkhil.’ J continued'the'
ed the prowess of Jackson. How biting a
chapter history will have for those of our
own people who’, alone of all, the world,
disparage then* leader! Is It not time for
this to stop ? Here is what the abolition
6heet says of our President .:
Bad as Jeff. Davis is, he has served the
rebels well, and they have no right to com
plain of him. He was .made tbeir Presi-,
dent by a unanimous vote. They bad
known him long and.thoroughly and could
not he mistaken either about bis faculties
or his devotion to their principles. It is
the judgement of the whole world that
they were not mistaken. They could have
found no man within their borders so con
summately qualified >for. their, leadership;
Cold, reserved, imperious, he could.be the
tool of no man. Ever audacious, yet nev
er rash, inflexible in his purpose, yet ver
satile in the use of his means, of very clear
apprehension m general matters, and yet
of the most biggoted attachment to the
great rebel idea, of a temper and .soul in
capable alike of undue elation or despon
dency,'of tireless industry, and of first-rate
executive ability, he was precisely fitted
to bo the chief of this tremendous enter
prise. ;
The wonder ever, wil) be riot that he at
last sinks exhausted, but that;he was ever
able te stand against our Governmqqt at
all. „ History may be searched in vain for
another instance of so prodigious a power
organised from such limited materials, and
holding out so long against such terrible
trials. The ability and the energy with
which he has consolidated and sustained
the rebellion have extorted the admiration
pot only of Europe, but even of the loyal
North, for the qualities are;in themselves
non© the. less admirable, though employed
in the most wicked.eause. •;
Of course i j cannot be protended, that
Jeff. ;Davis has niBde no mistake. . Wove
this:so it would prove him more than hu-
min. There never was human energy
yet which did not sometimes flag, ^nof*
human judgement wbieh did riot sometimes
miscalculate. Our point is not that the/
rebel lender was perteotiq his management
bnt that hti was nearly so-.as any living
man in.sixnllar circumstauces could have,
i been; and that, therefore,'lie -cannot justly
f be reproached, in any measure, for the
failure of the rebel enterprise.. He has
surpassed all expectations his confederates.
; in treason could have reasonably' formed,'
j and he Is just ns jnucpjehtitied tb-tlie con^
f^onoe of Kis fellow. traitors npw, in thisV
theirdny of disaster, as he was a yeanago t
when, in the flush of victory^ they shouted
his name to i lie stars:.” —>

Liverpool to London. In the same com
partment were a moody looki ng Irish iraan
and an elderly woman. The Irishman
sat by one window, the woman near the
other and the. two men between. » Until
the train had passed Bletehley, the sedate
passenger was hardly noticed by the oth
ers. It is true that he bad now and again
talked to himself somewhat fiercely, and
Seemed to be threatening an invisible foe.
Mr. McLean and Mr; Worland glanced at
him, and then continued in friendly chat.
Now itso happened that the man had been
rbsane, and was rapidly growing insane
again. A wild notion was fast/acquiring
the strength of a fixed idea. The two 1
in similar c-hat were in his
planning ho w they could rob, he resolved to
be tfie first in the field/.
^•“’There was somo rtfothdd in his madness,
for he postponed the execution of his pro-n
ject until the train had fairly started on its
last run to London. 4 s soon as it left B1 etch-
ley, tho maniac drew, and stabbed Mr.
Worland in the head. ' He drew back his
arm to repeat the .stroke,'when Mr. Me Loan,
who-seems to have had his wits about,him, :
knocked' him back bis seat. Springing
up, the maniac, made another blow at the
insensible Worland,but here he was foiled
again by McLean, who gripped his throat
and his armed hand, and a close combat
began. All the time the train flew rapidly
through the country,; The woman sitting
near the window had done all she could to
alarm the driver by wasting her screams,
on t he morning air, arid now lay insensible
■from, the effects of terror. The madman
drew, the blade;of/hi8knifoj;hroughth&fin
gers of McLean, aqd thrust with it wildly.
Worland bad now . regained his senses,
and be at once entered ,in to the combat,,
gettingbebind the madman, arid throwing
him down. The manic’S'yells were louder
than tihoae of the woman; they were- cori-
tiouous but neither guard br drivet heard
them. And so the-tragedy continued one
long act, a riftyirig mrinisic held down by
tw9. men.all covered- with blooJ, lighted
by. a dim lamp and Aft© grey dawn. For
'fGrty . miles .this scene .iasted, seen by none
oxcept those engaged in£the strife^ until a
ticket collector, hastily opening the door,
saw the two gashed and haggard /men
bending’over the exhausted man 00 the.
bloodstained floor.
Since the French police found the body
of a murdered Judge In a rail iVay Carriage
nothing so terrible has occurred; Of-
course the madman', for he must have been
mad, was taken before a magistrate and
there he gave as a reason 'for his conduct,
the explanation we have already mention
ed—he, thought the two men were about
to rob him. He turns but to be an Irish
school master, Michael Myers 'by name,
coming to London on a mixed, errand of
business and pleasure. It Is sajtl that be

Views of the Newly Elected .Governor of Vir
ginia on the war.
The Examiner, of August'28th says, wo
have already mentioned that the newly
elect (Jovernoi , 'Smith addressed the peo
ple of Lynch burg on last,Saturday, on the:
state of the country. The following are
some remark^On the subject of tlie wdt,-
which possess jin unusual interest from bis.
official position; as foreshadowing the poli
cy he will puraue’after hoBhall have been
installed into “office as Governor of Vir
ginia :
The Governor adverted to the lhcorism;
' teney of ihose; who wUhholdiag .supphea’
from the GoVejrrim'ent, in hopes of extort
ing. an increased price foir what they have
to sell. He demonstrated that-every doi-“
lar due by the Government would be re
deemed, if the debt can /l^e kept ; withui a
proper compaaj, for, said he, thank.Gfod, the.
country Is abundantly aide to pay every
.dollar of jtS.}38ues, bUf if tbq- farmers
persisted in hliving double prices set by
the Government for supplies,-then they
are pursuing a policy that as sure 'as
the auo rises and set will- lead ; to an
over-issue of money, andrno man' can tell
the result, whether it will ever -bri redeem^
ed or riot." And then sai d the Govornor,
where will be the 'wealth’ thim^onpatrioti
cally acquired? ',: r q 1 , /p
Upon homo organization, which w;is the
subject the Governor more partie'ularly
desigqqd to address tbe.ppople upon; and
to arouse them to a 8ense;.of the importance,
and necessity s of it, lie was eloquent; and-
emphatically, declared Wbrin he was assuril

into the orgahization t .aijid to see to* it that

shooting up of a .light on - the top of an
