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 gr follow In rant not, nor eeer shall know; until yon' meat them ia lb»world of glory above.

The most profound adamantologist in (he world is the Duke of Brunswick. He bas In his possession three millions of dollara worth of diamonds. Ha baa just published a catalogue of his diamonds, and ia the appendix there ie a notice of the moat celebrated diamonds in the world. Thia catalogue numbers not less than 208 quarto pages. It gives, with great detail, a Hat of his white transparent, first-white, second white, steel whits, blue-white, light- bine, blaek-bit)*, light-yellow, bright yellow, ambernjtUow, straw, champagne, deep-rase, rosy, light-rose, opalescent, pomegranate, violet, greenish, green, sea-green, brown, light-brown, dsep-brown, dusk-black, London- fog, sandy, frosty, blaok-spotted, cracked, split, aeratohed, ill-oat, uaout, square, round, oval, oblong, ootagon, pointed, pigeon-eyed, almond, Chinese eyed dimonds. It relates how this adorned a Turkish sabre, that a royal diadem, another an Imperial collar, a third a Grand Electoriel hat; this blaok dimond was an idol’s eye, that brilliant rosy diamond wan taken ffom tbe Emperor Baber, at Agra, in 162G, (it weighs 41 carats, and is worth $09,000) those were tbe waistooat buttons of the Emperor Don Pedro; this diamond ring, with the Stuart coat of arms and tba “M. 8.” belonged to Mary Queen of Soots; that pair of ear rings hong onoe on Marie Antoinette. Tho Duke of Brunswiek has in hia possession fifteen of (he ninety known diamonds, weighingthirty- six carats, but he has not a diamond worth $200^000. He has plenty of diamonds worth $20,000, $30,000, and $45,000 apieoe; he has two worth $60,000 each, one worth $70,000, and one worth $80,000 but lo hasn’t one worth $200,000. He is in treaty now for two dia monds, ons of which is worth $2$2,000, and 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.
