President Davison Genral Dee.
At a meeting ©t Confederate soldiers j
and aailorylieid at Richmond last Week,
Hon. Jefferson Davis was present and
spoke. He is reported b/ tl» Dispatch,
as follows: •. ■ • '*
As Mr. Davis aroee to walk to the stand
every person in the house rose to his feet
and there followed such o «torm of ap-
planso as seeming to shake the very foun
dations of the building, while cheer upon
cheer was echoed from the throats of
veterans saluting one whom they delight
ed to honor.
Mr. Davis spoke at length, and with
his accustomed thrilling, moving .elo
quence- We shall not attempt, at the
la to hour at which wo write, to give a
full report of his address. • * •
Ho adeemed his heaters as “Sol hers
and Bailors of the "Confederacy, com
rades and friends: Assembled on this
sad occasion, with hearts oppressed with
the grief that follows the loss of him
who was our deader on many a bloody
battle-field, a pleasing though mebuicho-
ly spectacle is presented. Hitherto, and
in all times, men have been honored
w lieu successful, but hero is tho case of
one who, amid disaster, went down to
his grave, and those who were his com
panions in misfortune have assembled to
liouor liia memory. It is as much an
honor to you wbogive ns-. to him who
receives, for"iboVe thfi vulgar test of
merit you show yourselves competent to
discriminate between him who enjoys
and he who deserves success.
“Robert J3. Lee war j»y associate and
friend in tho military academy, ~ and we
were friends until tho hour of his death.
Wo wore associates and friends when he
was a soldier aud I was a Congressman ;
and associates and friends when ho led
the armies of the Confederacy and I pre
sided in the Cabinet Wo passed through
many sad scenes together, but I cannot
remember that-thcro was ever ought but
porfecV harmony between us. If ever
there was difference of opinion it was
arced, and I may add that I never in my
life saw in him tho slightest tendency to
seUseeing. It was not his to make a re
cord, it was not his to shift blame to oth
er shoulders; but it was his with an eyo
lixed upon tho welfare of his country,
nevor faltering, to follow the lino of duty
to the end. His was thoheart that brav
ed every difficulty; his was the mind that
wrought victory out of defeat
“Ho has been charged with ‘want of
dash.’ I wish to say that I never knew
Leo to falter to attempt anything ever
mun could dare. An attempt has also
been mode to throws cloud upon his
character because ho left the army of the
United States to join in the struggle for
the liberty of bis State. Without trench
ing at all upon politics, I deem it my
duty to say one word in reference to this
charge. Virginian born, descended from
a family illustrious in Virginia's annals,
given by Virginia to the servico of the
United States, ho represented her in the
Military Academy at West Point Ho
was not educated by the Federal Gov
ernment but by Virginia; for she paid
her fall share for tho support of that in
stitution, and was entitled to demand in
return the services of her sons. Enter
ing the army of the United States, he
represented Virginia there also and no
bly. On many a hard-fought field Lee
was conspicuous, battling for liis native
State ns much as for the Union. Ho
came from Mexico crowned with honors,
covered by brevets; and recognized,
young os he was, as ono of tbo ablest of
his country’s soldiers. And to prove
that he was estimated then as such, let
mo tell you that when Lee was a captain
of engineers, stationed in Baltimore, the
Cuban Junta in New York, elected him
to be their leader in the struggle for the
independence of their native country,
They were anxious to secure liis servi
ces, and offerod him every temptation
t hat ambition could desire. He thought
the matter over, And I remember, carno
to Washington to consult mo as to what
lie should do, and when I began to dis
cuss tho complications which might
arise from his acceptance of tho trust, he
gently rebuked me, saying that this was
not tho line upon which ho wished my
advise, the simple question wan, ‘Wheth
er it was right or not. ” Ho hud l»eeii
••(bleated by tho United States, and felt
wrong to accept place iu tbo army of a
foreign power. Such was his extreme
delicacy, such was the nice feuse of hon
or of the gallnutgentleman whoso death
we deplore. But when Virginia with
drew- - ihe State to whom lie owed Lis
first and last allegiance—tho same nice
sense of honor led him to draw liis sword
and throw it in the scale for good or for
evil. Pardon me for this brief defence
of my illustrious frieud.
When Virginia joined the Confederacy
Robert E. Lee, the highest officer in the
little army of Virginia, came to Rich
mond, and not pausing to enquire what
would bti his rank i,i the service of the
Ci.nfedemcy, went to Western V rginia
under the U lief that ho was still an offi
cer of tho State. Ho came buck, carry-
by the people whom ho ser
ved, for they could not know, ns I knew,
that if his plans and orders had licen
carried out tho result would havo been
victory rather than defeat. You did not
kuow, for I would not have known ii
hail he not breathed it in my ear only at
my yurnest request., and begging that
nothing be said about it. The clamor
which then arose followed him when Le
went to South Carolina, so that it be
came nrceesatv on his going to South
Carolina to write » letter to the Gover
nor of thufState, telling him what man
ner of man he was. Yet, through all
this, with a magnanimity rarely equalled
ho stood in silence, without defending
himself or allowing others to defend
him, for he was unwilling to offend any
one wh i was wearing a sword and strik
ing blows for the Confederacy.
Mr. Davis then spoke of the straight*
to which the Confederacy was reduced,
and of the danger to which her capital
was exposed just after the battle of Seven
Pines, and told lum General Leo Lad
conceived and executed the desperate
plan to turn their flank and rear, which
lifter re yen days of bloody battle, was
crowned with the .protection of Rich
mond, while the enemy was driven far
from the city.
Tho speaker also referred to the cii
eumstancea attending General Lee'_
crossing the Potomac and the march into
Pennsylvania. He (Mr. Davie) assumed
the responsibility of the movement. The
enemy had long been concentrating his
forces, And it was evident that if they
continued their steady progress the Con
federacy would bo overwhelmed.
Gur only hope was to drive him to the
defence of their own capitid, we being
enabled in tho meantime to ro-inforce
imr shattered army. How well General
Lee camedoul that dangerous experiment
need not be told; Richmond was reliev
ed, tho Confederacy was relieved, and
time was obtained, if other things had
favored, to reinforce tho army
But, said Mr. Davis, I shall not at
tempt to review tho military career of
our fallen chieftain. Of tho man, how
shall I speak ? Ho was my friend, and
in that word is included all that l could
say of any man. His-qualities rose to
the height of his genius. Self-denying •
always intent upon the one idea o! duty;
a ware cf the straights to. which we were
reduced, ho said: “With my army in the
mountains of North Virginia I could canty
on. this war for twenty years longer.”—
His men exhausted aud his supplies fail
ing, ho was unable to carry out hi* plans.
An untoward event caused him to antici
pate the movement, and the army of
Northern Virginia was overwhelmed.
Bnt in tho surrender lio anticipated con
ditions that have not been fulfilled—he
expected his army to bo respected and his
paroled soldiers to be allowed the enjoy
ment of life and property. Whether
these conditions lwve In-en fulfilled, let
others say.
Here he now sleeps n the land be loved
60 well, and that Lind is not Virginia
only, for they do injustice" to Lee who
beliete he only fought for Virginia. He
wm ready to go anywhere, on any service
for the good of his country, aud his heart
WM at broad, as the fifteen States strug
gling for tho principles that our fore
fathers fought for in the Revolution of
1776. Ho is sleeping in tlie same soil
with the thousands who fought under the
earn© flag, but first offered up their lives.
Here tho living wo? assembled to honor
his memory, and.there tho skeleton sen
tinels keeps watch over liis grave. The
citizen ! the soldier ! this great general
this true patriot! left behind him th.
jCrownmg glory of a true Christian, His
Christianity enoblcd him in life, and af
fords us grounds for the belief that hois
beyond the grave.
"while wo mourn the loss of the
great and the true, drop we also tears of
n >athy witn her who was Lis helpmeet
o—the noble woman who, while her
bttsband was. in the field laiding the
Army of tho Confederacy, though an in
valid herself, passed her time in knitting
socks for tho marching soldiers! A
woman fit to bo tho mother of heroes—
and heroes arc descended from her.—
Mourning with her. we con only offer
the consolation of a Christian. Onr loss
is not his, bnt ho now enjoys tho rewards
of a lifo well spent and a-nover-wovering
trust in a rise a Saviour. This day we
unite our word*, of sorrow with those of
the good and great "throughout Christen
dom, for his fume is gono over the water
-—his deeds fill bo remembered; and
when the monument wo build shall havo
crumbled into dust, his virtues will still
live, n high model for tho imitation of
generations yet unborn.

Another Great Lie.
Tho radical papers are howling over
the murder of the "Hon. Alfred Richard-
they stylo a froedtaan of this
conuty, who was elected at the bayonet
election of 18G8 ns a member of the
Georgia Legislaturo from this couuty.
Wo have tuken pains to ascertain the
facts, as far as practicable. It appears
that, one night last week, a crowd of men
cawo into 'SYatkinsvillo-—nobody know
ing whom they were, or from whence
they came—and, after whipping om
more negroes, were attacked by a num
ber of negroes in Wat kinsvi lie. Both
parties fired a number of shots, and
the melee All. .Richardson was hit in the
leg, as wo learn, with shot. So far from
being murdered, he is not even danger
ously wounded. Tho negroes report
that they hit one or more of the “Ku
Klux,” as they call the unknown party—
having heard one say ho was shot and
found blood on the ground.
In common with all good citizens,
regret the occurrence; but are satisfied,
from all the various versions \re havo
beard of it, tliat tho citizens of Watkins-
ville had nothing to do with it.
Since the foregoing was written, wo
learn that tho freedman, Alfred Richard
son, acknowledges that ho fired tho first
shot.
This case serves to show tho avidity
with which tho Bullockites pci vert tho
truth.—Athens ((in.) Watchman.
