Sketches sf tha Elaet*
HON. JEFFEBSON DAVIS, OF MISSISSIPPI, l*BB8I«
DENT.
A sketch of the prominent man who is to
share the honors of the Presidential chair
with Abraham Lincoln (or tha next four years
is at the present moment apropros.
Few men have led a life ore filled with
stirring or eventful incident^ Itfaa Jeffsrsou
Davis. A native of Kentucky, born about
1806, ba went in early youth with his father
to Mississippi, theu a territory, and was ap
pointed by President Monroe in 1822 to be a
cadet at West Point. He graduated with the
first honors in 1828 as Brevet Second Lieuten
ant, and at his own request was placed in ac
tive service, being assigned to tha oommand
of General (then Colonel) Zachrry Taylor,
who was stationed in the West. In the fron
tier wars of the time young Davis distinguish
ed himself in so marked a manner that when
a new regiment of dragoons was formeJ he at
once obtained a commission ns first Beaten
nut. Daring this lime a romantic attachment
sprang up between him and his prisoner, the
famous chief Black Hawk, in whioh the latter
forgot his animosity to the people of!the Uni
ted States in bis admiration for Lieutenant
Davis, and not until hi* death was the bond
of amity severed between the two brave men.
Iu 1835 he set quietly down upon a cotton
plantation, devoting himself to a thorough and
systematic course of political and scientific ed
ucation. lie was married to a daughter of
Gen. Taylor.
In 1813 he took the stump for Po:k, and in
1845, having attracted no little attention in
his State by his vigor and ability, he was
elected to Congre*s. Ten days after he mads
his U-Mder speech. Soon the Mexican war
broke out, and a regiment of volunteers hav
ing bveu formed >in Mississppi, aud himself
chosen Colonel, he resigned his post in Cougrcss
and instantly repaired with his command to
join the corps d'arinet under General Taylor.
At Monterey and Bueua Vista be and his no
ble regiment jtcheivel the soldier s highest
fame. Twice by his coolness he saved the
day at Buena Vista. Wherever fire was hot
lest or danger to be encountered, there Colo
nel Davis and the Mississippi Rifles were to
ba found. He was badly wounded in (be ear
ly part of the action, but sat his horse
steadily till the day was won, and refused
to delegate eveu a portion of his duties to his
subordinate officers.
Iu 1848 he was appointed to fill the vacan
cy in the Senate of (he United Slates occa
sioned by the death of General Speight, aud
>n 1860 was elected to (hat body almost unan
imously for the term of six years.
Iu 1851 be resigned his seat in lire Senate
to become the State rights candidate for Gov
ernor, but was defeated by Governor Foote.
In 1853 he was called to a seat in the Cabi
net of President Pierce, and was Secretary of
War during his administration. In 1857 he
was elected United Slates Senator from Miss
issippi lor the term of six years, which office
he held until his resignation on the secession
of Mississippi from the Union.
Personally, he is the last man who would
be selected as a “fire-eater " lie is a prim,
smooth looking man, with a precise manner,
a slid soldierly carnage and an austerity that
is at first forbidding. He has naturally, bew
ever, a genial temper, companionable quali
ties and a disposition that endears him to all
by whom he may be surrounded. As a speak
er he is clear, forcible and argumentative;
bis voioe is clear and firm, without tremor,
and he is one every way fitted for the distin
guished post to which he has been called
HON. ALEXANDER II. STEPHENS, OF GEORGIA,
VUJK PRESIDENT
This gentleman is knonn thro'out tbe Uuion
as one of the most promineut of Southern
politicians and eloquent orators. His father,
Andrew B. Stephens, was a planter of moder
ate means, and his mother (Margaret Grier)
was sister to tbe famous compiler of Grier’i
almanacs. She died when he was an infant,
leaving him with four brothers and one siFter,
of w horn only one brother survives.
Mr. Stephens was born in Georgia, on the
11 lb of February, 1812. When in his four
teenth year his lather died, and the homestead
being sold, hie share of tha entire estate wae
about five hundred dollars. With a commen
dable Anglo Saxon love of his ancestry, Mr
Stephens has aince repurchased tbe original
estate, which comprised about two hundred
and fiftv acres, and baa added to it about six
hundred more. Assisted by friends, he enter
ed the University of Georgia in 1828, and in
1882 graduated at the hemi of hia class, lo
1834 he commenced the study of tha law, and
in lesa than twelve months was engaged in one
of the most important cases in tbe country.—
His eloquence has ever had a powerful effect
upon juries, enforcing, as it does, arguments
of admirable simplicity and legal weight.—
From 1837 to 1840 he was a member of the
Georgia Legislature. In 1842 ho was elected
to the State Senate, and in 1843 was
eleoted to Congress. lie was a member of
tho whig party in its palmiest days, bul since
its dissolution has acted with the men of the
Sooth, and such has been the upright, stead
fast and patriotic policy he bas pursued, that
no one in tbe present era of faotion, selfish
ness or suspicion has whispered an accusation
of selfijh motives or degrading intrigues against
him. In the House be served prominently on
the most important committees, elfectod the
asvage of KansuS'Nebraska bill tlyough th*
louse at a time when its warmest frianda
despaired of auooess. lie was subsequently
appointed chairmen of tha Committee ou Ter
riiories, and was also chairman of the special
committee to which was referred the Lecomp-
ton constitution. By his patriotic course ca
various measures he has, fYom time to lime,
eieited the ire of many of the Southern peo
ple, bat be has always succeeded in coming
out of tha contest with flying oolors, and hia
recant elevation is a mark of tbs profound
respect entertained for his qualities as a man
nd a Statesman.
Stephens ll most distinguished as an
oralftr, l ho ugh he doe* not look like one who
can eemmand tha attention of tha House at
any lima or upon any topic. Ilia health from
childhood has bean vary feeble, being afflicted
with four abscessea anu a continued derange
ment of the liver, which gives him aconsump
live appearance, though his lungs are sound.
and to see his attenuated figure bent over hia
deck, tha shoulders eontrucied and tbe ahapa
of bis slender limbs visible through hie gar
ments, a Stranger never would select hii
tbe “John Randolph” of our time, more
dreaded as an adversary aud mors prized as
an ally in a debate than any other member of
the House of Representatives. When speak'
ing he has at first a shrill sharp voice, but as
he warms up with his subject the clear tons#
and vigorous sentences roll out with a sono
rousness that finds its way to every corner of
the immense ball. He is witty, rhetorical
and solid, and has a dash of keen satire .that
puts an edge upon every speech. He is a a
ful student, but so very careful that no traow
of study is perceptible as he dashes along in a
flow of fsots, arguments and language that to
oommon minds is almost bewildering. Pos
seising hosts of warm friends who are proud
of his regard, and enlightaoed Christian vir
tue and inflexible integrity, euoh is Alexander
H. 8tephdDs, the Vico President elect of tha
Southern Confederacy.
Tbe Albany Mercenaries and the Btate of
Georgia.
We ask the citizens of Georgia to bear in
mind, when they hear of the outrages of tha
New York Police, that the men who profees to
be the Police of New York are appointed by
the Governor of the State, a Republican aud a
Helpente, and that tbe people of the city
have no more control over them than the citi*
zens of Savannah. The “ Republicans " be
lieve neither in municipal nor State Rights,
and when their cupidity or love of power
prompts, they do not hesitate to overthrow
eith#, if Uplands in the way of their ambition.
The citizens of New York city patiently sub
mit to be governed by this foreign body of
mercenaries, many of whom are the vassals of
Thurlow Weed, picked up from different sec
lions of tbe Stale, and sent hers lo do tbe bid
ding of their master.
Having grown violent and overbearing by
repeated acts of unresisted trvanny, Mr. Su
perintendent Kennedy resolved to try bis hand
in National matters. Jumping with most
mercurial vehemence, he at one bound assum
ed, first, that war existed, and second that he
would slop all goods “ contraband of war.”—
Tha coolness aud impudence of assuming tha
functions of the President of the United States
was exactly equal to John A. Kennedy's abili
ties, and hence the gun's for Georgia were
seized without a warrant—in other words, sto
len. Of course retaliation oomes, and then
Kennedy is no where. It is said the muskets
were immediately returned to their owners,
aud the vessels seized by Gov. Brown, of
Georgia, were consequently restored. New
Yorkers now have tbe satisfaction ef seeing
their city humiliated and scoffed at for under
taking to do a thing that it dared not persist
in. So much for John A. Kennedy.
But while our chief of Police is thus intent in
putting down “ rebellion,” wby does he not at
tend to delinquents nearer home ? He cannot,
we feel oertain he is not, unmindful of the fact
that be has a gang of negro stealers right un
der hia own nose, aye, »‘a his own imjWsjiu-.
Let him deny it if he can. He knows that
the head-quarters of the underground rail
road ia at bis office, and yot be not only winks
at the doings of men who disobey the laws
and tha Constitution of the country, but he
pays the traitors and thieves out of the oily
treasury. Our merchants inay consider it se
vere that their property is seised, but they
should recollect that for ten years they have
allowed an organization to exist in this city
to steal tha property of their Southern breth
ren with impunity. It is useless for us to say
that wa know nothing of this, and cannot
help it, for it is tbe duty as well as the boai-
nees of every society (o ferret out and punish
offenders. This we have not done. We have
allowed these negro stealers to go on in their
aefarious business until they are now actually
supported by the tax payers of this city. The
Republicans dart not meet these chargee.—
They know they are true. We have warned our
citizens for years that these outrages could
not go on forever without being resented.—
Tbe time has come, and it will be found, once
commenced, there will be no ohild’s play. If
a people would live in peace, they must do
those things that make for peace. It ia only
to be regretted that in such cases of civil
strife, the innocent are often compelled to suN
for instead of the guilty.—AT. Y. Day Book.
Weil Lighted Lantern*.
Groping my way along as best I could, on a
very dark night not long since, as I turned a
corner of the street, I saw, but a short distance
ahead of me, a well lighted lantern. At first I
could not see who was carry 1 og it, but it proved
to ba a boy, who was whistling merrily aa b*
walked along.
Now, that lantern was of muoh service to
me. It threw its light back on the path, or
sidewalk, for many yards. It showed me where
to walk, and it showed me where not to walk
if I wished to keep out of the mire.
I felt thankful to (ha boy who was thus of so
muoh use to me in lighting my way; while he
knew nothing about the good he was doing.
He went along, not thinking of ms, hardly
knowing that I was behind him; and yet he
was rendering me a very kind service.
I could not help thinking what a happy thing
it would be if all the boys sod girls, and all the
men and women who have the privileges of the
Gospel, were well-lighted Christian laoterna 1
How much good would they do which ia now
left undone! We are not so much lanterns in
what wo say, as in wbat we do. It ia the quiet
but real influence of a good example that Is a
light to lighten others.
A very young girt may he a very useftil lan-
tern. A small lantern, well lighted, is of muoh
lervioe. while a very large lantern, without
any light In it, is of no use. And who knows
how many the light from hia lantern will reach
and benefit? Now, children, do not ha dark
lanterns, or such as give no light; but as you
pass along through life, at homo or in school,
or in the street, or wherever you are, show that
you love the truth, and that you seek, bv God's
grace, to walk, as yon are taught, in His h*ly
word. Show ibis in your lives. Show it by a
cheerful, loving, hoaeat walk with your com
panions. Never be afraid to let others see that
rou love God, and desire lo do what is rinhl In
llis sight. If thus you Uve many will be bene
fited, and Will bless you. Borne may follow In

the other $050,000, and which rank in the
order of precedence established by adaman
tologist s, in (he sixth rank, which is next after
the Regent’s diamond, and the former in the
eighth rank, that is, next after the Orloff dia
mond of Russia. In his list of oelebrated dia
monds he places in the front rank a brilliant
white di&moud, weighing 250 carats, ay) be
longing to some East Indian prince, and worth
$2,500,000; next co«nes the Koh-i-noor, which
weighs 186 carats,imd whioh he sets down as
$1,888,840 ; next oomes tba Rjgahof Matara s
(Borneo) diamond ; it is of tho most beautiful
water conceivable; tbe Governor of Batavia
offered the Rajah $150,000, two brigs of war,
armed, equipped and provisioned for six
months, and a large quantity of cannon balls,
powder and congreve rockets; tbe Rajah refus
ed them all, and preferred keeping hia dia
mond, which passes for a talisman ; it is worth
$1,339,455. Next comes (he Great Mogol.
which is of a beautiful rote color, and of the
shape and size of half a hen’s egg; it is worth
$784,000, according to the Dnkeof Brunswick’s
valuation, though Tavernier, the traveler, sets
it down as being worth $2,344,666; the Re
gent’s diamond of France (and which, by the
way, belonged to Lord Chatham’s grandfather,
who brought it from India, concealed in the
heel of his shoe,) comes only in the fifth rank ;
•it- weighs l&U j)4rata-»-iV-i# worth $739,8401_
it is the purest diamond known; It required
two years to out it; before it was cut it weigh
ed 410 carats; the chippings of it ware sold for
$410,000.
The Duke of Brunswick says tbe Orloff Dia
mond of Russia is worth only $344,360, and
not $18,516,580, as soma persons have pretend
ed; and he says the Sanoy diamond, which
Prince Paul Demidoff purchased at the price of
$400,000, is worth only $29,160; but then the
Duke of Brunswick reckons its historical value
as nothing, although it once adorned the sword
of Charles the Bold, was found after his death
on the battle field of Nancy, was sold in Switz
erland, carried (0 Portugal and there sold, be
longing to King Antonia, to Henry III, was
swallowed by a noble to whom he confided it—
swallowed by the faithful noble rather than
deliver it to robbers, and was found in his body,
which was disinterred for tbe purpose of dis
covering it. The Duke of Brunswick dares cot
leave Paris, at any period of the year; hia dia.
monds keep him ehaiued there. Ha dares not
sleep from home (some people reckon this liber
ty of pillow one of (he great franchises of Paris)
a single night. Then, he lives in a house con
structed not so much for comfort as security.
It is burglar proof, surrounded on avtry aide
by a high wall; the wall itself is surmounted by
a lofty iron railing, defended by innumerable
sharp spear-heads, which are so contrived that
if any person touches any one of them, a chime
of bells begins instantly to ring an alarm; this
iron railing cost him $14,127. He keeps his
diamonds in a safe, built in a thick wall; bis
bed is placed against it, that no burglar may
break into it without killing, or at least wak
ing, him, and that ha may amuse himself with
(hem without leaving his bed. This safe is lined
with granite and iron; tha locks have a secret
which must be known before they can bo open
ed ; if they are opened by violence, a discharge
of firearms lakes place, whioh will inevitably
kill tha barglar, and at the same time a chime
of bells in every room in his house are set ring
ing. He has but one window in his bed room ;
the sash is of the stoutest iron ; tbe shutters are
of (hick sheet iron. Tho ooiling of his room is
plated with iron several inches thick, and so is
the floor. The door opening into it is of solid
•heot iron, and cannot ba entered unless on* bt
master of the secret combination of tba look.
A ease of a doxen six-barreled revolvers, load
ed ami capped, lies open upon a table witbin
