Whatever else may be said ol

The noble response ol Mag uder to ;
the oeople of Texas, who contributed
a handsome purs3 to procure him a
fine plantation during the war, was the
■ impulse and utterance of tha u tiver
a.il spirit oft! c Seuthern sol liers:
‘•No, geiithmen, when 1 espoused
the cause of the South, 1 embrac and
poverty, and willingly accepted it.'’
Such also was the conduct of .Mr
Davis, who shortly after h:s arrival in
Richmond, w.s presented by the gen
erous citizen of our capital wiili the
mans ot) .which he occupied during the
war. He declined, respec full-/ bu r
positively, to receive it on any other
terms than being permitted to pay rent
for it at the u-ual per centage of cost,
- fur which such propeity is rented. —
And Mr. Davis’ salary per annum
i j was not equal to Gan- Graut’s wages
i j per month.
If the contrast thus presented be
tween the distinguished men on the
opposing sides of the. late war is.not
creditable to our Northern brcthre,ri let j
them remember that we do not pro
