DAVIS IN PRISON.
The inaugural address of President Davit
was read with breathless interest in every
part of the country, as, taFthe prevalent
ignorance and confusion, men sought in it th«
indications of peace or war. But it was not
In the power of any man, however wise, at
that time to give assurances. The most sig¬
nificant passage in it, perhaps, was this:
“We have entered upon a career of inde¬
pendence, and it must be inflexibly pursued.
Through many years of controversy with
our late associates of the northern states we
have vainly; endeavored to secure tranquil¬
lity, and obtain respect for the rights to which
, we are entitled. As a necessity, not of choice,
we hare resorted to the remedy of separation,
and henceforth our energies must be directed
to the conduct of our own affairs, and the
perpetuity of the Confederacy which wahave
formed.
Commissioners were sent to Washington
and fruitless negotiations conducted. Be-
. tween the inauguration and the 1st of April
pubUc opinion in both sections turned to the
contemplation of war. In vain did President
Lincoln proclaim that he “certainly had no
desire and believed he had no anthority to
interfere with slavery.” In vain did Presi¬
dent Davis reiterate that he longed to avoid
the effusion of blood. On the 12th of April,
1861, the war began with the attack on Fort
Sumter.
“The uprising of the north”—that most
marvelous of all recent popular phenomena—
followed at once. The uprising of the south
was scarcely, if at all, less prompt and unani¬
mous, save in the northern tier of states.
Virginia seceded April 17; Tennessee and
Arkansas followed May 6, and on May 20
North Carolina completed the list of eleven
Confederate states. May 2D the Confederate
government was transferred to Richmond,
and President Davis followed in a few days.
His Journey was a continued ovation; hii
speeches were chiefly exhortations to unity
and courage, with brief arguments which
were merely variations of the clause in
his first message to congress, April 2#,
vis., “All we ask Is to be let atone—that
those who never held power over us
dull not attempt our subjugation by arms.
This we will, we must, resist to the direst
extremity.”
At Montgomery the congress had already
provided for “a vigorous prosecution of the
war”—that is, for a loan of $50,000,000 at 8
per cent, in addition to a previous loan of
$15,000,000, and the the creation of of an array
which “might, in discretion the presi¬
dent, be increased to 100,000 meal” Priva¬
teering was also organized. The people re¬
sponded with such alacrity that President
Davis, on arriving at Richmoud, bad only, to
officially confirm their action. In a surpris¬
ingly short time 60,000 men were organised
in Virginia, and fifteen vessels commissioned
as privateers. The Federal government was
also moving with a celerity that now seems
wonderful, but to .the impatient people at the
time seemed criminal slackness. A bl jckade
of all Confederate ports was pi imed
April 19, and nearly 100 vessels w.-re soon
armed to enforce it. By the 1st of July a
Federal army of over 200,000 men was or¬
ganized.

Faults of Administration Urged Against
President Davis.
And here the biographer of Jefferson Da¬
vis is compelled to Lake notice of a contro¬
versy which went on in a quiet way during
the war and more openly afterwards, tUl It
reached a furious climax, climax, an and is still waged
with much bitterness, Without indorsing
the harsh; philippics of Edwin Pollard illard and
Gen. Thomas Jordan, or even the milder
criticisms of Gens. Johnston and Beauregard,
Federal and Confederate may now agree
that President Davis made two serious-
should one say fatal?—mistakes: the one was
common to him and nearly all the leaders on
both sides, the other peculiarly his own. It
was a manifestation of that spirit which is
often praised as the quality of “always
sticking tc? one’s friends”—a very amiable
quality indeed in a private man, but one
which in a commander-in-chief in time of
war may be a criminal folly. A moat un¬
happy instance Is thus - set forth by Geo.
Thomas Jordan, chief of staff to Gen. Beau¬
regard: had been at West Point, and

ton brought him in relation with men engaged
in large commercial affairs. This man, with

MR. DAVIS’ HOUSE, KKAUVOIH.
In November, 1861, a general election was
held, and President Davis and Vico President
Stephens were re-elected for the full term of
six years. Feb. 18, 1862, the first congress
under the permanent constitution assembled
in Richmond; on the 32d, President Davis
was inaugurated, and Disasters delivered a carefully
prepared message. bail already set
In, to continue with scarcely an intermission
for three months. Before President Davis
was this ominous situation; In all the Con¬
federate states there were not quite 6,000,000
white people, among whom the per cent, of
men capable of bearing arms was surpris¬
ingly small. In the Federal or “adhering
status” excluding all the doubtful and dis¬
puted strip, were at least 18,000,000 whit*
people, among whom the per cent, of adult
males was phenomenally, one might say un¬
naturally, large.
By the census of 1860 the south contained
about 200,000 more women than men, the
north about 400,000 more men than women;
so the north could send Into the Said 000,006.

men equal to that of the south in peace. Of
the enormous immigration of 1845-’61, con¬
sisting largely of youug and strong men, only
S per cent, hail located in the south. This
explains the paradox that such states as Kan¬
sas and Nevada sent a larger per cent, of
their total population Into the .field than any
state of the south, and yet had many more
men left at home than older states ever have
during the longest peace. The disparity in
wealth was Bar greater—by some estimates
four times as great. Without accepting so
strong a statement it may yet be admitted
' that the Fedbrala three times
were as numer¬
ous and eight times as rich as the Confeder¬
ates. ^
“THE L OST CAUSE.”

Tears la Peace.
Nevertheless hope and confidence were
strong. President Davis’ first state papers
showed great abiUty, and he assented, some¬
what reluctantly, to a conscription law,
which was among the first acts passed by the
congress. It excited much opposition, of
course, and a little later the habeas oorpus
was suspended in a district ten miles around
Richmond, and a military police organized
under Gen. Winder, which continued during
the remainder of the war. The summer
closed favorably to the Confederates though
they regained little or none of the ground
lost in the spring; and in December Presi¬
dent Davis made a tour of the-’western
camps, front which he returned greatly en¬
couraged. In Apr)!, 1863, he issued a rather
exulting address to the people, but the
claims in it were just. The Confederacy was
then at )ts maximum as a military power.
The disasters of that summer from Gettys¬
burg to Vicksburg .need not be detailed.
The year closed under the black Shadow of
coming doom.
The real greatness of Jefferson Davis shone
conspicuously as disasters thickened. He
resolutely defended his appointees, and as¬
sumed the responsibility wherever it was not
clearly theirs. He regained the hearts of
the people and almost nullified the opposition
in the congress. A committee of investiga¬
tion entered upon its work in a hostile spirit,
and ended by indorsing almost every one of
the president’s acts, and even exonerated
him from serious blame in the matter
of Commissary Northrop. He exerted
himself heroically in preparing for the
campaign of 1804, and it opened with
some slight successes. All the rest of the
tory war barren, every defeat • irremediable

“shelving” of Beauregard and the lirwtk with

Unhed^L southern criticism was instantly
and in dm time thoughts of some¬
thing far nobler than vengeance pervaded
the north. Mr. Davis bore his sufferings
with such Roman fortitude that southern
hearts were knitted to him as never before.
His critics apologized, even when truth was
on their side. His wife shared his captivity
and excited the world’s interest in his case.
His first wife, daughter of Gen. Taylor, had
died many years before, but the one who shared
his fortunes as official and as captive was
a lady of refinement and intellect worthy of
liny station. His oldest and most inveterate
opponents were first to soften; the Abolition¬
ists asked clemency, and iu M*y, 1807, before

certain hawks of the merlin or “stems

of the trains for predatory purpose*.
They fly close behind the train, near the
ground, partly hidden by the small smoke, but
carefully watching for the birds
which, frightened by the train as it
rushes roaring past, fly up iu bewidered
shoals; the merlins then, while the birds
axe thinking more of the train than of
lurking foes, swoop on them from the
ambush of the smoke, and strike them
down with ease. If they miss, they re¬
turn to the wake of the carriages and re¬
