His administration of the War Department was marked by abil ity and energy, and was highly popular with the army. He propoeed or carried into effect, among other measures, the revision of the army regulation; the intro duction of camels into America, the intro duction of the light infantry or rifle system tactichjof the manufacture of rifled muskets and pistols, and the use of the minis ball; the addition of four regiments to the army: the augmentation of the seacoast and frontier defences; and the system of ex plorations in the western part of the con tinent for geographical purposes, and for determining the best route for a railroad to the Pacific Ocean. On his retirement from the war Department he re-entered the Senate lor the term ending March 4,1853. In the Thirty-fifth Congress he waB conspicuous in the discussions on the French spoliation bill, which be opposed, and on the Pacific railroad, for the Southern route, of which he was a zealous advocate. He was also prominent in the contest growing out of the Lecompton constitution for Kansas, in which he opposed Mr. Douglas, and in the settlement of which., by the Kansas conference bill, he took a chief part, declaring in a letter to the people of his State that the paasage of that bill was “the triumph of all for which we contended.” In the Thirty-six’h Congress, which met in De cember, 1859, he was the recognized leader of the Democrats in the Senate. His name for years had been frequently men tioned as a candidate of the Democratic party for the presidency. In the summer of 1858 he made a tour of the Eastern States, and in October addressed a Demo cratic meeting in Boston, and a few cays later a similar meeting in New York. In reply to an invitation to attend a festival in Boston in January, 1859, to celebrate the birthday of Daniel Webster, he wrote a letter expressing strong union senti ment,and concluding thus; “I send you my cordial greetings to the friends of the con stitution, and ask to be enrolled amoDg those whose mission is, by fraternity and good faint to every cons itutional obliga tion, to insure that, from the Aroostook to San Diego, from Key West to Puget Sound the grand arch of oar political tern pie shall stand unshaken.” He failed, however, to receive the nomination for President in 1860, and on the assembling of Cougrese in December of that year ho took an active part in the movement which planned the secession of the Southern States from the Union. He was a leading member of the secret caucus of the Senators from Geor gia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Lou isiana, Arkansas and Texas, which met on the night of January 5, 1861, in a commit tee room of the capitol, and framed the scheme of revolution which was im plicitly and promptly followed at the South; and he was chairman of the executive committee of three appointed by that caucus “to carry out the objects of the meeting.” The other members were John Slidell, of Louisiana, and Stephen R. Mallory, of Florida. Their plan was to hasten the secession of the Southern States, of which South Carolina alone had yet openly left the Union; to call a con vention of the seceded States at Mont gomery; to aocumolate munitions of war: to organize and equip a force of 100,000 men; and lastly, to hold on as long as pos sible to the Southern seats In Congress, in order to paralyze the Government, and to gain lime for the South to arm and organ ize. Mississippi seceded January 9, 1861; but it was not till the 21st of that month that Mr. Davis made his farewell speech in the Senate, and departed for his home. Soon after hiB arrival there he was appointed Commander in- chief of the militia of the State, with the rank of Major General. In a speech to the Mississippi Legislature in December, 1862, he said: “I then Imagined that it might be my fortune again to lead Missippians in the field, and to be with them where dan ger was to be braved and glory won. I thought to find that place which I be lieved to be better suited to my capacity, that of an officer in the service of the State of MississippL” On February 4, 1861, the Confederate Congress met at Montgomery, organized a provisional government for the seceded States, and on the 9th, by a unan imous vote, elected Jefferson Davis “President of the Confederate States of America.” He arrived at Montgomery on the 16sh, and was inaugurated on the 18th, Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia, having been inaugurated as Vice- President about a week earlier. There can be no doubt that in this selection of the President of the Confederacy the Congress ratified the previous choice of the Southern peo- S le, who almost unanimously regarded [r. Davis as the man best fitted for the position by ability, character, and political and military experience. He selected for his Cabinet Robert Toombs of Georgia a3 Secretary of State, Leroy P. Walker of Alabama as Secretary of War, Charles G. Memmlnger of South Carolina as Secretary of the Treasury, Stephen R. Mailory of Florida as Secretary of the Navy, Judah P. Benja min of Louisiana as Attorney General, and John H. Reagan of Texas as Post master General. The last three continued in the Cabinet as long as the Confederate Government maintained its existence. A fortnight earlier Mr. Davis had order ed Beauregard, the Confederate General at Charleston, to reduce Fort Sumter, the attack on which began the civil war. On May 20 the Confederate Government was transferred from Montgomery to Rich mond, and a few days later Mr. Davis fol lowed It. On the journey to Richmond he was received with every demonstration of popular favor and exultation, and his first days in the new capital were devoted to ovations, reviews of troops and speeches to the multitude. An army of 50,000 men, commanded by Beauregard and Johnston, had been gathered In Northern Virginia. In July the Federal troops advanced to wards Manassas, and were routed in the battle of Bull Run. Mr. Davis left Rich mond on the morning of the battle, in tending to take command in person, but the victory was won before he arrived. A period of Inaction ou the part of the Confederates followed their success at Bull Run, which it is said was in accordance with the policy adopted by the President in opposition to the advice of the Generale, who wore in favor of concentrating the Southern forces in Virginia and invading the North. Mr. Davis preferred the policy of diffusion, and of standing on the defen sive. These and other differences of opin ion resulted in the estrangement between Mr. Davis and Generals Besuregard and Johnston, which continued through the W In November, 1861, a presidential elec tion was held throughout the Confederacy and Mr. Davis was chosen President for the full term of six years, and Mr. Stephens Vice President. On February 18,1862, the first Congress under the permanent con stitution of the Confederate States assem bled in Richmond. On the 22d Mr. Davis was inaugurated President. President Davis displayed unusual energy and skill in preparing for and carrying on the cam paign of 1864, which it was felt by both parties was likely to decide the issue of the war. It opened with Confederate successes in Florida, in the Southwest, and in North Carolina; which, however, were of little importance compared with the great struggle in Virginia between Lee and Grant, and the march of Sherman upon Georgia, and through Georgia to the sea. Mr. Davis continued still confident and resolute, and with the concurrence of General Lee was planning schemes for concentrating forces to oppose and destroy the army which Sherman was rapidly leading northward from Savannah and Columbia. One of the measures he pro posed was the emancipation and enlist ment of slaves as soldiers; but this, which might have been of service earlier In the war, came too late. Another measure which attracted great attention at the time, was to authorize commission ers to hold a conference with President Lincoln, with a view to discussing terms of peace. The com missioners appointed were Stephens, of Georgia, and Hunter and Campbell of Vir ginia, who, on February S, met President Lincoln and Secretary Seward on a steamer anchored in Hampton Roads, and had a conference which lasted for several hours, but resulted In nothing. President Davis now began to make preparations for the abandonment of Richmond and retirement to an interior line of defense near the Roanoke river. A part of his plan involved the union of the armies of Lee and John ston and the defeat of Sherman by thefr combined forces. Grant’s defeat of Lee, however, at Five Forks on April 1, made this plan impracticable. On April 2, while seated in his pew daring divine service in St. Paul’s church. Mr. Davis received a note from the Confederate War Depart ment communicating the news of Lee s defeat and the consequent necessity or removal from Richmond. His family had been sent southward some days before,and at 8 p. m., attended by hispersonal staff, members of his Cabinet, and several other officials, he left Richmond on the train for Danville, where he issued a proclamation declaring that the Capital had been aban doned only in order to leave the army free to act. An attempt wee made to keep up at Danville the forms of government,but this was abandoned in little more than a week, when the news arrived that Lee’s army hatt surrendered to Grant Mr. Davis anwhis party then went by railroad to Greensboro, North Carolina. Here he met Johnston and Beauregard, who were of the opinion that it was useless to con tinue the struggle. From Greensboro he proceeded to Charlotte, where he remain ed a week, and where be beard of the assassination of President Lincoln. A few days later he heard that he was accused of having instigated the as sassination, and that a proclamation bad been issued offering {100 000 re ward for his apprehension. He still contemplated resistance. His^ian was to cross the Mississippi with some troops that had joined him from Johnston’s army, which, added to the force beyond that river, would make an army respectable in numbers and abundantly supplied from a productive and unexhausted country. Before putting this design into execution, however, he sought an interview with his wife, who had preceded him with a small escort; and having overtaken her, he was encamped near Irwinsville, Ga., May 10, when a body of Union cavalry com manded by Gen. J. H. Wilson captored his camp and arrested him. He was conveyed to Fortress Monroe, where he arrived May 19, and where he was confined for two years. In May, 1867, he was brought be fore the United States Circuit Court at Richmond on a charge of treason, absurd and malicious, and was admitted to bail, the charge of complicity in the assassina tion of Lincoln being dropped, as there was no evidence to substantiate it. He made a brier stay in Richmond, where he was well received by the people, and went thence to New York, and then to Canada. In the summer of 1868 he went to England, mercantile house in Liverpool having offered to take him as a partner without any capital. On arriving in England be became satisfied that the offer was one which he had best not accept. He made a brief visit to France, and soon returned to America. At the term of the United States Circuit Court held in Richmond in December, 1868, a nolle prosequi was entered in his case, and he was accordingly discharged. He was included in the gen eral amnesty of December 25,186S. OVER AT OPELIKA. News of Jefteraon Davis’ Death Received With Sorrow—Other Notes. Enquibeb-Sun Bureau, 1 Opelika, Ala., Dec. 6, 1889.} The news of the death of our chieftain, Jefferson Davis, was received here with profound sorrow. Tears filled the eyes of all who read the sad news. Businees will be suspended here and memorial services held on the day of his burial. The wish that he should be buried at the foot of the Confederate- monument in Montgomery, Ala., has been expressed by many today. The State Capitol at Mont gomery is the birth place of the “Storm- Cradled Nation that Fell.” As such it has the best claim to be the last resting place of him who alone was shackled for our people.

Possey, a prosperous and highly respected citizen of this place, had been afflicted with erysipelas for forty years, being under treatment for nearly the whole of that time without beneficial results. He finally put himself under my treat ment, and I exhausted all the usual remedies prescribed in such cases, but they failed to give him any relief. I finally concluded to experiment with Swift’s Speciic (S. S. S.), as I had previously known the best results to attend its nee. I gave him a thorough course of it, and the result was a complete and permanent core. His wife, Mrs. Nancy Possey, also contracted the disease, and was afflicted about twenty years. I put her also under the same treatment, and the result was a complete and permanent cure. I have freqifontly used Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.) in my practice in cases of blood poison and rheumatism, and in every case obtained the best results. As a rule I do not ap prove of the nse of proprietary medicines, but am satisfied that the sooner the medical profession introduce Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.) into their practice the better it will be for ail concerned.’' W. H. MINTON, M. D., September IS, 1889. Milano Junction, Texas. Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free.
