* On this subject, we copy from the Wilmington
C-) Journal the following paragraph:
SrEiTi.ATixu is Provisions.—Nearly all ar
ticles of provisions have recently taken a sudden
risr in price, owing, we presume, to the fact of a
threatened, if not yet actual, blockade ot our ports.
The ris*: in price is all wrong—and something
should be done to put a stop to it. A similar at-
t -miit to raise the price of provisions was made in
Baltimore last week. The authorities notified the
dealers that it would not be allowed, and the mer
chants immediately agreed that provisions should
!»■ bought and sold at a fair price. There is no
necessity for food to go up here—there is plenty
in the country, and our opinion is, that they will
cotnc to a level little if at till above the usual rates.
Every body is entitled to a fair profit, but self-
preservation requires that no undue advantage
should he allowed to be taKen.
PATRIOTISM OF THE LADIES.
From every State in tlie Southern Confederacy’
we hegr of deeds of self-denial and of heroic patriot
ism on the part of the Ladies, worthy of the de
scendants of the mothers of 177G. In those days
there were no cotton factories or machinery to
make doth. All had to be spun and wove by
hand. During a war of seven years, the women
of the Revolution faltered not in sacrificing their
own comfort for the benefit of the troops. They
furnished clothing and home made blankets, and
contributed by tln-ir industry in every possible
firm to relieve the sufferings of the Whig soldiers.
The blessing of Heaven crowned their efforts with
victory then, and >o will it be now , should circum
stances require tlie same sacrifices. The Southern
Ladies know when to be fashionable, and bow to
sustain their position at all times; when to indulge
freely in expense, and when to abridge their sup
plies. The Virginia Herald thus speaks lor the
daughters of the “Old Dominion'’:
The women of Fredericksburg have, in public
meeting r. solved, that the ornaments of house and
person shall not be w ithheld, if needed, to pro
mote the interests of State and uatiou, and that
they will deny themselves ail the luxuries ot dress
aud table, as far as possible, iu order that the men
shall have more to expend for the defence of home,
and the liberties of the people.
THE REAL OBJECT.
We invite the atteutiou of our readers to au ar
ticle in to-day’s paper, from the Richmond Enquirer,
headed “A Transparent Lie,” which sets forth
clearly and truly the motives of the present Black
Republican war against the South. We had seen
clscivli-re similar ideas advanced, but none w ith
such force of condensation. The Enquirer has
shown up the universal Yankee nation in tlieir gen
uine character,—a tribe of mercenary traders who
kavu become desperate and lawless from losing
the profits they have been in the habit of making,
heretofore, from Southern putronge.
We also find iu the Enquirer the following copy
of a hand-bill posted up iu Boston, which is said to
express the sentiments of a majority of the people
of V w England. We transfer it to our columns
as an emanation of Northern insanity.
CONDITIONS OF PEACE REQUIRED OF THE SO-
CALLED SECEDED STATES.
Article 1. Unconditional submission to the Gov
ernment of the United States.
Article 2 To deliver up ONE HUNDRED of
the ARUII TRAITORS, to be hung.
Article A To put ou record the nanu s of all oth
er." why have been traitorous to the Government,
"ho shall be held infamous aud disfranchised for
ever.
Article 4. The property of all traitors to he con
fiscated, to pay the damage.
Article 5. The seceded Stales to pay all the bal
ance ol the expense, and restore all stolen prop
erty.
Article (i. The payment of all debts due to North*
erU'-rs, and indemnity for all indignities to per-
soits, lass of time, life and property.
Article 7. The removal of the cause of all our
difficulties, which can only be done by the inune-
dmte am] unconditional Abolition of Slavery.
Article 8. Until a full compliance with all the
•itiiive terms, the so-called seceded States to be
•ic'd and governed as United States Territory.
riie above is rhe least that an indiguant people
"ill accept, outraged as they have been, by the
foulest, most heinous, aud gigantic instance of
rriinc recorded in history’.
PROGRESS OF ABOLITION.
From the late speech of Mr. Mont ague iu the
Virginia Convention, we extract the follow ing pas
sage to show the increase of Abolition sentiments
within twenty years:
In 1840 for the first time this auti-slaverv ele
ment entered iuto the Presidential election. Twen
ty years ago Birney, as their candidate, received
7,000 votes. Iu 1844, he again received, as the
candidate of the anti-slavery party, 62,140 votes.
In 1848, Van Buren and Gerritt*Smith received
•290,:233 votes. In 1803 Hale received 157,296
votes. In 1856, sixteen years from the commence
ment of the efforts of these anti-slavery men, iu
connection with the Presidential election, John C.
Fremont received 1,325,812 votes, showing an in
crease in sixteen years of over 1,300,000 votes. In
I860 Abraham Lincoln got votes enough to elect
him President.
ARMY SECRETS.
We perceive the wisdom of the suggestion which
has been inade by one of our cotemporaries in
\ irginia, that the Southern press should no longer
publish the destination of the troops of the Con
federate States. Hitherto we have all given pub
licity to such things for general information with
out reflecting on the advantages the enemy might
derive lroui it. In future we shall endeavor to be
more guarded.
LINCOLN’S INTENTION 1
'1 hough w e despise the gasconade of our ene
mies, and think it very harmless, we believe it
proper enough that our readers should be inform
ed of the aims of the administration, and on what
terms the South may escape rain, as shadowed
forth by the National American, published iu the
city of Washington, aud the official organ of the
President, w Inch says—
“There is to be no peace except upon the basis
of the unqualified submission of those in revolt
There is to he no recognition of any pretended
Southern Confederacy. There is to be no peacea
ble asseut to a separation of these States. The
Government is to be maintained, iu that plain,
straight-forward way iu which all Governments
are maintained, by coercion. The leaders of the
conspiracy are. to be, diiven out of the country or
to be hanged.”
PATRIOTIC SENTIMENTS.
It affords us pleasure at all times to render jus
tice where it is due, even though we may have en
tertained prejudices against the party to whom we
render the acknowledgment. Such is the case iu
regard to Ex-President Pierce, whom we have
been in the habit of ranking as the least of all the
Presidents in intellectual stature aud public servi
ces. Strange as it may appear, this gentleman
stands almost alone in the North in a pacific poli
cy, after a collision of anus has taken place. We
admire his good sense and fearipss patriotism in
the midst of the furious clamor which is raging
around him for the subjugation of the South. The
Boston Rost contains a letter from President
Pierce, the closing portion of which is as follows:
The very idea of a dismfeuibermentof the Union
has always been one to me of terrible significance.
Still, if it holds a place in tire inevitable march of
time—if the noble fabric must totter to its fall—
there is, I humbly hope, no inexorable necessity
that its ruins be stained with gore. If our fatheis
were mistaken, and time has developed iu our sys
tem, or if the madness of tlieir sous has planted
there the germ of an “irrepressible conflict,” which
forbids us longer to live together in peace, then in
peace and on just terms let us separate. Fearful
will bo the responsibility of those who would cast
the last element of human woe—that of arms for
fratricidal slaughter—into the general chaos. The
wisdom of man fails—may God iu mercy guide us
Commenting upon the letter, the Post sensibly
says:
Wc hope that the first blow—the news of which
has just reached us—may be the last; and in the
language of Gen. Pierce, that, “if we cannot live
together in peace, then in peace and on just terms
let us separate.” To this it must come at last.
Arms can never produce fraternity; arms can nev
er restore the Union. If it is ever to he restored,
it must be by the announcement of a pacific poli
cy, and by giving people North aud South time to
deliberate, to see tlieir errors, and to correct them.
At the end of a tcu years’ war—manufactures de
stroyed, commerce crippled, millions of lives sac
rificed and thousands of homes rendered desolate—
recourse must be had to conciliation and negotia
tion to restore peace to the country. To negotia
tion and conciliation we must come; and how
much better that they should obviate, rather than
follow, civil strife, bankruptcy and carnage.
J. Q. ADAMS’ OPINION.
The Hon. John Q. Adams, in 1839, delivered
an address before the New York Historical Society,
iu which he held that the people of the several
States had an equal right to secede from the Union,
as the American Colonies had to secede from the
British Empire. The following is his language,
which we commend to the people of New England
while warring against the South:
“Thus stands the right. But the indissoluble
link of union between the people of the several
States of this confederate nation is, after all, not iu
the right, but in the heart. If the day should ever
come (may Heaven avert it!) when the affections
of the people of tiu-se States shall be alienated
from each other; when the fraternal spirit shall
give way to cold indifference, or collisions of inter
est shall fester into hatred, the bauds of political
association will not long hold together parties no
longer attracted by the magnetism of conciliated
interests and kindly sympathies; aud far better
will it be for the people of the disunited States to
part in friendship from each other, than to bo held
together by constraint.”
A NOBLE PATRIOT.
Among all the contributions actually made to
cause of the South, or those offered to be made,
"e have seen none equal, in liberality and devo-
tl0, *> to the proposal of our worthy and much res
pected fellow-citizen, Dr. BENJAMIN A. WHITE,

JOHN RANDOLPH ON SECESSION.
Iu 1833, John Randolph ol Roauoke attended
a public meeting at Charlotte Court House, Virgin
ia, and introduced sundry resolutions, the fourth
of which is the following :
“That Virginia has never parted with the right
to recall the authority so delegated, for good and
sufficient cause, nor the right to judge of the suf
ficiency of such cause, and to secede from the Con
federacy whensoever she shall find tiie benefits of
ihe Union exceeded by its evils.”
CAVALRY AT PENSACOLA.
A correspondent of the Mobile Advertiser, writ
ing from Pensacola under date of 1st inst. says—
The advance of a splendid company of cavalry
from Dallas and Wilcox counties, Ala., arrived
early this morning. They number 95, all told,
and are commanded by Capt. T. F. Jenkins, with
R. H. Irwin, >S. McIntosh aud J. J. Wbeadon as
Lieutenants. They are mounted at their own ex
pense, aud serve the Republic, one year. Their
horses are of the best blood and of beautiful form,
such as Dallas aud Wilcox only muster. This is,
perhaps, the wealthiest company that overdrew
blade or spurred steed to battle. Their aggregate
wealth is estimated at near four millions of dol
lars. They have servants to tcud them, but like
true soldiers are ready to sacrifice all comforts, all
luxuries, to the oue great object of their souls—
the Liberty of tlieir owu dear 8outh and Country.
And of such material is the Confederate Army
composed—this is no isolated case.
GEORGIA VOLUNTEERS AT NORFOLK.
Elections have been held, and the following offi
cers chosen:
Third Regiment—A. 11. Wright of Augusta, Co
lonel ; James K. Beid of the Madison Home
Guards, Lieut. Colonel; A. II. Lee ot the Cov
pigton Young Guards, Major.
Wc arc gratified to see that our gallant towns
man, Capt. George Doi es of the Baldwin Blues,
lias been elected Colonel of the Fourth Regiment.
A braver spirit, or a more competent officer of his
rank never served in the field. ^
JUDICIAL RESIGNATION.
The Hou. John A. Campbell of Alabama, has
resigned tlie office ol Associate Justice ot the Su
preme Court of the United States, which he has
field for the last eight years. His reason for re
signing has reference to the Confederate States,
the Government of which will no doubt be aided
by his profound acquirements as a Jurist. Judge
Campbell is a native of Wilkes county, Georgia,
aud is a sou of the late Col. Duucan G. Campbell.
SECESSION OF ARKANSAS.
An ordinance has been passed by the People’s
Convention of Arkansas, declaring the State no
longer in the Federal Uuion. This makes the
tenth Star in the Confederate Flag.
WELL DONE TENNESSEE.
Though late in moving, Tennessee is making
amends since she has seceded from Lincoln’s
Union. Her Legislature has passed a bill to raise
56,060 troops, and appropriating $5,000,000 to the
cause of Southern Independence.
FEARFUL DISASTER!
On 6th inst. the steamer Habersham, on her re
turn from Fort Pulaski, fired a salute opposite
Fort Jackson, when the swivil, from being over
charged, unfortunately bunted. Lieut. Nelson
was so injured by a fragment of the gun striking
his head, that he has since died from his wounds.
He was a son of the late Gen. Charles H. Nelson.
The next greatest sufferer was oar respected towns
man, Col. Miller Grieve, who was returning from a
visit to his son, Capt. Grieve, who is stationed at
Fort Pulaski. A piece of the gun crushed the
bone of the left check of Col. G. and des
troyed his left eye. His condition is so critical that
his friends apprehend the worst, though on Sunday
last the symptoms werea little more favorable.
This painful occurrence has cast a gloom over
our entire eomuuitv, where Col. Grieve had, for the
last thirty years, exercised the influence of his no
ble nature, and the loss of no citizen from our midst
would be more sensibly felt or more general de
plored. We pray Heaven that he may be restored to
his family and his many attached friends.

William Flinn of this city, and the Rev. Mr. Cun'

Death of Dr. Jaaics F. Foster.
This distinguished gentleman died on Friday
last the 3d iust, at his residence iu Greensboro’
aged 75 years. A friend in the Greensboro’
“Weekly,” pays the following just tribute to his
memory: Dr. Foster was a native of Prince Ed
ward County, Virginia, and was a graduate of
Hampden Sidney College, while that institntion
was under the Presidency of the Rev. Archibald
Aiexauder. His medical education was commenc
ed under the direction of Dr. Bird of Millcdgeville
and completed at Philadelphia.
Iu his demise, the profession of medicine has been
deprived of oue, of its brightest ornaments. The
loss which this community has sustained, is no
ordinary loss. In the walks of public as well as
private life, there is abundant scope for the most
heartfelt eulogium. As the husband, the parent,
the friend, the master, he may sometimes be equal
ed but uever surpassed. With the accomplished
manners of the gentleman he diffused on all around
him the rays of his own good humor and urbanity.
To the poor and needy, he was a friend indeed.—
Even the wayfaring man and the stranger with no
claim upon him but the impress of humanity,
would seek relief iu his wide spread benevolence
and was sure to have his claims allowed. When
he thought he must die, having been requested by
bis family Physician to take some more medicine,
he replied, “/( will be of no use, the die is east,! sur
render, I surrender."
It may be consoling to the friends at a distance
to know that he died calmly and serenely in the
full possession of all his mental faculties professing
faith in the atoning blood of Christ.

To thee, whose brow with laurel is entwined
From Lundy’s Lane to Cherubusco’s height,
I appeal to comfort cur gracious lord.
Scott.—Fortune hath played fantastic tricks,
And brought me into strange companionship ,
Where no generous pulse doth respousive beat.
In this sad condition my soul doth niouut
On wings of buoyant Hope to escape at last,
From the stagnant, filthy, Abolition pool
In which our gracious lord doth daily lave
Under thy cleaning and grooming process,
Most careful Secretary,—careful for thyself
More than for thy country or for honest fame !
My nature doth not incline to consultation
With such a chattering magpie as thou art.
Nor with such upstart pretenders as thy chief
Who sits here, livid and trembling at my voice,
The voice of one who may welljcoinmaud :
For since the Father of his country passed au av.
With proudest title e’er conferred on man,—
That of Lieutenant General,—no sage
Nor hero hath the immortal honor won.
Until, laden from the battlefield, I came
With glory on my name far more dazzling
Than ever glittered from the imperial crown
Of France, when on the brow of the nephew's uncle!
Wellington the victor dwindled by my side,
When Bluchcr’s column sealed the fate of Water
loo.
Atmosphere iike this, fragrant with exalted deeds,
\nd with names that stir the blood to action,
Doth not refresh thy Abolition dwarfs
With whom my presence is wrougly cast,—
Yet wisely to restrain thy wolfish schemes.
Were not the Funeral Triumph iu my thoughts,
The loug procession and tlie stately hearse.
Craped bauuers waving, and muflled drums,—
Arms reversed, and the cannon’s minute roar,
Soothing me to repose in n»y warrior bed,
After the battle of life is o’er,—
I could not tolerate such awful bores
As thyself and thy Presidential master,—
Butiu scorn would yield up my commission.
If, from my compliance with thy request,
Any comforting ministration thou hast perceived,
I congratulate thy wit and keen discernment,
To please thy gracious lord and Mine !!
LINCOLN.—To my apprehension, howe'er such
languago
May appear to others, it doth impart a sting,
Against which my high authority and office
Doth shield me, and protect from vengeauce
Whom the Constitution and the laws have placed
Subordinate to luy rule as army and naval chief.
Yet, in the Lion’s den, with no escape provided,
I find myself a prisoner, doomed and helpless.
My sceptre holds none but broken sway,
Aud rank rebellion hath defied my power.
Carolina hath enr noble Union severed,
And Georgia by her disloyal side doth stand,
Both seizing Forts at will, and war munitions,
As though my public duty were to submit
And not to govern bravely under oath,
My sacred oath registered in Heaven !
My doubts I have, constant and paiuful doubts,
That my soul, from great mixture and alloy
With thy “ irrepressible conflict,” will ne’er
Ascend to where my oath, good Secretary,
Is recorded side by side with thy “ higher law.”
If consistency and force my brains do lack,
May Dot I the gap supply with conscience,
A tough India rubber conscience, or gum elastic,
Of indefinite expansion, free indeed
To clasp the tender reed or the giant oak, .
As eithor proportion may suit oar aims ?
Then to a work of duty let us bow oar minds,
To bring the promt Confederate State to order,
And bumble their daring, traitorous crest,
Which seeks to rival our Stars and Stripes,
The only share we have of the public spoils
Bequeathed to us b/our Wheatland cousin.
Pray now, prolific Secretary, thy opiuiou signify.
Sew ard.—By Commission diplomatic, great sir,
Than hast been informed, months ago, and trnly,
That the Confederate States, seven in number.
With Constitution duly framed and ratified.
President and Tice President well installed,
And Cabinet advisers chosen and sworn,—
Toombs at their head, and Beauregard
To lead the army,—in good faith sought of jam
Through tny Department to hd received,
Acknowledged, and treated as sovereign
Independent States, and by treaty fair
To compose all questions territorial,
Forts, arsenals, customs, debts and the like.
By just and equitable arrangement.
To this proposal I was inclined to hearken,
And to scatter all the specks of war
Which dimmed the horizon, as yon well know,
And to this extent the said Commission I informed,
Who with patience lingered on my hopefnl words.
Of yonr favor to this plan 1 was oft assured.
And with honest will I so expressed your mind.
But in your secret chamber a nest of vipers coiled,
Greely, Sumner. Chase, Blair and Webb,
Who in their slimy folds crushed all reason out,
And all honor, too, all reflection, from thy breast.
At lonely midnight hour thy ships of war
Didst leave for Sumter, and when there arrived,
As thou didst imagine, aud with stores
And men the garrison did supply as invincible.
Then, and not till then, did Gov. Pickens learn,
By thy direction, thy cunning, hostile intent.
But thy address, thy artful orders, proved vain ;
The storms of Heaven baffled thy design,
And Beauregard, now present, performed the rest.
With war tidings thy proclamation filled the
breeze,
Every public journal, and each anxious fire-side.
The North was roused, the South took the field,
Virginia wheeled into line, and on her soil,
An enemy's soil, we are now assembled
At thy special iustauce to discuss the ways
Aud meaus of peace, to prevent the blood
Of brothers and kinsmen from being shed,
When no real cause demauds the sacrifice.
I commend thee to thy brother President,
Buena Vista Davis, thy equal in rank,
With v\ horn consultation may be had,
Touching the essence of our present troubles.
Lincoln.—Brave sir, wc together served in civ
il life,
Ou the same floor as Representatives equal. -
Some fatal blunder of my own committing, or else
The error of my friends (both perhaps combined)
Hath iu rival lists placed our fortunes.
Your objections to my rule I well appreciate,
Aud the time has gone for reconcilement.
At war as public men, both first in office,
In our resjiective spheres,—you South,
Aud I to Northern lines confined in power,
No impeachment of honor do I construe it,
To ask in terms respectful what will suffice
Thy requirement for the Confederate States,
Personally, sir, no accommodation do I ask,
And will none expect in this discourse.
But in behalf ot millions who to my banner cling,
And the millions who rally under yours,
With equal courage and cousent of mind,
Do I propose this opportunity for mutual peace.
All were brothers once from Bunker Hill
To Camden and the plains of Yorktown,
Again, at laLer period, from Niagara’s roar,
Where Brown and Scott commanded,
To New Orleans, the field of Jackson’s fame ;
And still more recent when on the Rio Grande,
Taylor unfurled our country's Flag, and at Palo
Alto,
The first battle fought, and then to Monterey,
And Buena Vista next, where you, sir, in person
Drove back Santa Anna’s host with your Rifle
corps—
All continued victorious, uo default.
And yet all is not related; at Vera Cruz,
And on Cerro Gordo’s crags, at Contreras,
At Molina del Rey, and at the gates
Of the great Capitol of Mexico, itself delivered
To the conqueror Scott, who mingles in our coun
sels,
These recollections do stir my blood to kindness,
To fraternal love, which may you reciprocate.
Davis.—My purpose is not new,—not framed
Merely to answer this occasion ;—the terms are
simple,
And iu few words will be conveyed to arrest
This unhappy war which you did force
With more than common zeal, without cause.
The past I will not review, your party platform,
Your threats to o’ertnrn the status of the South ;
Nor will I to your remembrauce bring,
With offensive intent, the fair warning voice
Given by the South that Abolition rule
Would be resisted, even the Union io disrupt.
Of this resolve 3’ou were amply notified,
And still with reckless stride you and yours,
The anti-slavery men in determined, column,
Through a fanatic ballot, pressed us to the wail.
Our sovereignty we resumed as promised,
And Confederate Government formed, and at your
door
Respectfully, j’et firmly asked for recognition.
Which you declined to grant, and then events
Followed which, did uot his modesty hinder,
Gen. Beauregard, at my right, could well describe,
As therein he active participation had
Far beyoud my own desert or directing.
Now, Mr. President, this war can be arrested
By a dozen lines of writing, and your houor saved,
And many lives aud millions of treasure.
The Independence of the Confederate States, first
of all,
Acknowledge, aud then we’ll negotiate on terms
Of mutual justice, seeking no advantage
Or concession of each other; then, if inclined,
Commercial treaties we may form, and trade
As friends, all our l ights secure, aud
Our negroes you must let alone;
Wc will answer for the sip,not you, sir,
Iu all the future, and at the bar of Heaven.
If to this outliue you will at once subscribe,
Our Southern army shall at once retire;
Otherwise, to the bitter end the war must come
lu defence of Southern rights,and, dearer still,
Vindicating Southern honor by you assailed
Iu occupying Forts on Southern soil.—
Here is the argument, and here the terms,
To which your answer will be heard.
Lincoln.—To borrow phrase from quarters high,,
To doublefire I am exposed, front aud rear.
Such exceeding danger my life doth menace,
That capitulation could not save me,
Nor by fighting can I loug survive.
Beyond retrieve my doomed is fixed,
And horror doth my spirit overwhelm.
My peace with Heaven and man to make,
Is all the privilege my soul doth claim.
Fool that I was to withhold asseut
To the Confederate offer of adjustment,
By your high Commission to me tendered.
With starving Anderson I trifled, and with all
Who took part in Sumter’s fearful siege,
Which brought on the war, and ruin.
I am the guilty cause of all the blood
Spilt on either side in this unnatusal war,
And terrible sliall be my expiation.
There is no safety in retreat, nor in advancing,—
For if I stop the war, the ntob infuriate
Who for want of Southern trade are starving,
Would rend me limbless, and my head
On staff would fix like that of traitor,
Who had cut them off from general pillage
In the luxuriant South, in town and country
Banks all robbed of gold, dwellings of silver piste.
In masses far too heavy for men to bear,
And in six mule wagous will be hauled
To Northern camp, there boxed and shipped
For future revel, and sensnoos delights.
The South through me has been wholly lost,
And by such loss the North is desolate,
Never to regain its former thrift and power.
My error I confess; and you beloved Premier,
Bear to absent friends my dying w ords, '
And acquaint the public with their import—
How, that having my conntry rained,
I yieldied up my life in honest retribution,
Hoping that my sins will be forgiven.
As all men freely I forgive—Farewell J
lLincoln stabs himself,and dies.}
Scott.—How rapid and portentous do events
progress,
Shutting me in limits narrow, to degrade my soul!
Poor Lincoln my advice rejected, though aslsnd.
In regard to Sumter ; my conscience has blood
To crimson its emotions in my dying hour,
F»to thk unholy w«r nf brethets tgr LiacnKl
ed.
Much better bad I resigned in early stage
Of this revolution, sinee Virginia has espoused it,
My honored mother! Can I the shock survive f
Lincoln dead, and his office cast ou Hamlin,
Who with negro blood is said to benefited.
Can I this double degradation bear.
And feel myself a man, who alone, after Washing
ton,
The rank of Lieutenant General hath possessed ?
If I resign, no funeral honors, equal
To my renown, will be paid me when I die;
And if, under ILtmlin, my commission I retain,
I shall despise myself, and so will all mankind.
To yon, gallant Davis, who, while of War the Sec
retary,
Did write me sharp and bitter notes, imputing
To me vanity and pride beyond compare,
I have a few kind words to offer as my last.
Let us be friends and ferg?t the past.
As a generous rival and sokier brave,
Do justice to my memory in Southern hearts.—
For the North is heartless, aud ares not for feme,
Except for golden eagles,—not the bird of Jove,
Who hath been the emblem of our glory,
My strength is gone, four score years press me
hard,
And my native State has cursed me
As a recreant son.—my birth spot dishonored
By special marks of scorn on my nativity.
Such accumulated woes my heart hath broke.
And uo longer can I the burden of a life
Endure when robbed tif its honest pride.
Lincoln’s folly was sore enough,but Hamlin's blood
Completes my downfall, my official death,
And with it my last breath I yield,
(Supplicating Heaven for mercy on my soul!
[ With an energetic thrust, Gen. Scott
drives his sword through his heart, aud
falls gracefully—his countenaece wearing
a grand expression even in death.}
Sew ARrt—Bloodshed ! Horror on horrors, by
slavery piled!!
Weak aud shallow Lincoln sliall be avenged,
And thou too, imperial soldier, noble as brave,
Who to secure a stately, splendid burial,
Didst hide thy scorn to hoid thy office;
With ample vengeauce thou slialt be repaid.
On you, Davis and Beauregard, a doom is fixed ;
You 1 will accuse of murder, President of Presi
dent,
Aud the junior General of the famous Senior,
From long cherished hate and envy’s sting.
In the hot bed of slavery’s vile abominations
Nursed, and fully grownjo murder foul.
Millions in the North who now linger back
For want of motive to destroy the South,
Will to the “conflict” hasten with mind and fury
At once “ irrepressible,” of Shameless type
To their own slaves Southern masters shall be sub
ject,
And slaves shall scourge their former owners
With bioody stripes, and I will mock their agony :
On, freedom’s sons, anti-slavery friends press on;
My tale of murdered Lincoln by hand of Davis,
Will credcuce gain, and perform the work.
Davis implicate and likewise Beauregard,
Can audience gain on rules of evidence.
Both will be excluded, and only Stephens
Will remain to gainsay my big report.
Yes, slavery’s champion, I have thee on my hip,
To unhinge all thy doings, and gain tlie right.
Thy spotless name, and thy dulcet voice
Which millions do revere and love,
I’ll tarnish aud weaken by calling thee ** Robber,”
Worse than high-way robber ; more foul
Because thou has robbed thy helpless brother
Of his birthright, his lawful freedom,
And hast made him thy boud slave,
A chattel, like horse or ox> n sold
Remorseless, without fear of God or man.
Know thou, Vice President, as thou art called
By rebel and traitor bands, that uo “ robber”
Was e’er believed iu Court, by jury or by crowd.
This logic to degrade thee is all my own.
By words nicely weighed and to freedom joined,
Harmony producing and a phantom wild
To excite imagination beyond all sober truth.
Then the deed is done, and the South undone,
As thou art advertised by defiant zeal.
From thy presence, and thy compeers high
In authority stolen, I now retire,
My report to scatter to the winds of Heaven,
And bring upon you all the charge
Of murder, wanton murder, constructive,
Actual, cod 1 piete, and of tnallice prepense.
Calling for gibbet, and tlie country’s vcc.g .oce.
Adieu, lifeless friend, my Springfield chief,—
Thy memory shall be sacred from all taint
Offtlo de se; on Davis I will fix the crime.
And Beauregard shall bang for killing Scott,
lSeward haughtily retires.]
Stephens.—Surely lias Iago been in flesh re
vived,
Aud another Moor seeks to entangle
By web of sophistry and falsehood vile.
My truth, my life, my honest aims at good,
My love of country and 1113’ social hopes,
All avail me nothing in this hour of ‘rial
If Scwatd can have his wicked way.
Yet the right will I defend come what may,
Aud truly given the facts iu public shall appear,—
How that violent bauds Liucolulaid upon himself,
With what confession, and in what extremity.
Now, Davis, no defilement shall thy honor touch
In this transaction awful, this twain self-murder.
Truth the smile of Heaven will be sure to draw
Upon all its struggles, and prevail it must,
In spite of Iago Seward, the cunning imp
Who if possible, wonld Deity dethrone,
And make a flat nosed African ruler of the world,
With him, Seward, as Premier the counsels to di
rect,
As in Lincoln's Cabinet was recently the case.
The South with sword iu hand defies the North,
And Beauregard the wiles of Seward shall escape.
Come, let us withdraw and leave the dead
To find sepulture suited to their rank,
From those who claim tlie right of snchcivilty.
As open enemies of the South they died,
While warring our people to exterminate.
Though Lincoln was better in his heart
Than the rabid crew who to frenzy drove him.
With his frail body let his foibles find repose,
And be onl_y published his errors to avoid
B3’ those who to hi* office may succeed,
And thus inherit the luckless war now raging.
May peace be accorded by mutual compact,
As the Confederate States did once propose
Through their Commission which was repelled.
But no offer shall we again communicate;—
National honor and self-respect forbid
Our second suit tranquility to gaiu.
Of our armies wc make no empty boast,
Leaving that vocation where most it prospers,
In the, bigot North, from sheer necessity of tacie,
To make up in sham for want of real worth.
And for deficient cause in which to fight.
Davis.—The motion to retire I again renew.
And hope compliance will be granted.
To the nuhappy dead, forgiveness and farewell
Is all the boon 1 have to offer, and ’tis enough;
Their memories to defame no task of mine shall be,
The grave shall shelter their infirmities
As it hath extinguished all ray hatred.
[ President Davis takes up his hat, aud ad
vances toward the door: Vice President
Stephens prepares to follow]
Rear regard.—Of thee, Mr. President, one favor
do I ask—
Permission to remain »s guard of honor
To the illustrious General of whom I learned
The arts of war, and whose noble form,
At the head of his brilliant Staff, I saw
Riding in trinmph as conqueror of Mexico,
Thro’ the streets of Montezuma’s proud city,
While the “Stars and Stripes” waved o’er the Em
pire.
Though dead, my old* commander in ay heart doth
live,
And to his record I shall ne’er lie unjust,
Howe’er against the South he erred,
And died enemy of the States I serve.
His giorioas past U written ne’er to be reversed,
XttfrMiUt wither RW&nfVwtaoret,
Won ifi Victorians hotiiHI for hiseomitry's
Allow are t*» ghard his until an escort
Shall convey U to its last testing place.
Then I will resign my honored charge.
And forthwith join w m the tented field.
Dtm—Thy tenderness, dear General, I value.
And thy wishes shall not be declined.
Remain with both the dead, no common dead.
Of what wus once a Republic glorious,
TV United Stotrs-President was one, and
Lieutenant-General the other, famed in story.
Obey thy gratitude and thy spotless honor.
And watch slow with the official dead,
Until others shall thy post relieve:
Noble is the soldier’s tribute to s fallen foe.
President Davis and I ice President Ste
phens then respectfully bow to Gen. Beaure
gard, who, returning the civility, remains
standing with foled arms, reverently gaz
ing an the face of Gen. Seott. ]
