12 THE MAC >N DAILY TKLKOKaPH: SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 2G, 1886.-TEN PAGES. JEFFERSON DAVIS. VIEWS ON JOHNSTON, LEF, JACKSON, HILL, AND SECE8310N. TktIi nnd Lfe Never II«d Any Unpleasant Differences—Th© Christian Con vie* tiona of Stonewall Jackaon on the flight of Secession. Correspondent's of Baltimore Ban. liEitTTOiE, Miss., September 7.—The ex- President of the Southern Confederacy, whose home and family were deectibed in my laat letter, is one of the moat remarka ble men of bis day. He woe the chief of the greatest civil war the world has known; the bead of a government and an army which, considering their reaonrcea, or the lack of them, pnt on record the greatest military achievements of the age. The brave, true-hearted men of the South do not regard Mr. Davis as a monster who drove them into rebellion, bnt as a revered loader, their chosen representative, who was os faithful to them as their chief execu tive as he bad been a renowned soldier, an nnexceiled official and a wise statesman before the Sonthetn States withdrew from the Union. They know al<othat the pri vate life and character of Mr. Davis have been as noble and stainless as bis public career was grand and honorable. No man ever survived with a like preservation of all his many virtues sueh dangers, trials and suffering, persecution and slander as be has so nobly borne. A citir.en|of no land, he now Stands before the world the solitary martyr to the cause for which the best and bravest blood of the South was Bhed. Both Davis and Lincoln were born in Kentucky, one in Christian and the other in Hardin connty. Davis drifted South, Xiincoln North, and their political courses diverged accordingly until culmination as opposing chieftains of great armies and governments in the irrepressible conflict Davis was a year older than Linooln, two years older than the fiery Toombs, four years older than Alexander H. Stephens, five years older than William L. Yancy, four yean older than Jndah 1*. lltnjsmin, two years older than Yules, and twelve years older than John 0. Breckenridge. All these are gone, and the ex-President of the Confederacy can well lament and say with Ossian, "Where are the companions of my youth?" There were three Secretaries of State under Davis, in the Confederacy—Jndah P. Benjamin, Robert Toombs and K. M. T. Hunter. Mr. Hunter is the only one now living nnd surviving Secretary Seward. There were four Confederate Secretaries of War, Of these L. Pope Walker, the first, only survives with Simon Cameron. Geo. W. Randolph, James A. Sedden and John C. Breckenridge sleep with Edwin M. Stan ton in the city of the silent, There were two Confederate Secretaries of the Treasu ry—0. 0. Memminger, who still lives, and 0. A Trenholm, who has passed away' with Chase and Fessenden. Davis bad only one Secretary of the Navy, 8. R. Mal lory, and he and Gideon Welles have both gone to their final rest. There were three Confederate Attorney-Geuerels. Of these, Thomas Bragg is dead, as is J ndga Bates, of ths Linooln cabinet, and Thomas H. Watts and George E. Davis are still living. Ther e was only one Postmaster-General, John H. Reagan, and he snrvivre Mont gomery Blair and Goveruot Dennison, of the Linooln cabinet. The vigorous mind of Jefferson Davis is alive to every important incident of to-day, and shows no mark of bis advanced age. Ho asyg he has no wish to re-enter public life, and conrts the privacy of home life. C damns could be filled with his oharming talk about his experiences as Beretary of war in Mr. Fierce s cabinet, and as United State. Sena tor from Mississippi, bis carter as President of the Southern Confederacy, his reminis cences of men,snd hiskecu.inci.ive opinion, of measures and politios. His eyea kindle as in eloquent phrase bespeaks of Sidney John- aton, Lee, Jackson and othergreat leaden of tbo Confederacy, and of the ragged bare footed heroes who followed them. Mr.Davis says as a soldier Albert Sidney Johnston had no peer on either side daring the war, if he ever had in American hiatory, and his loss totho Confederacy was irreparable. He says that Robeit E. Lee was his associate and friend tn the Military Academy, and they were friends nntll the hour of his death. He says; "We passed through m-ny sod scenes together, bnt I cannot remember that there wag ever aught but perfect har mony between ui. If ever there was differ ence of opinion it was dissipated by dioctu- sion, and harmony was the result. I repeat, we never disagreed, and I may add that I hover i D m y life saw in him the slightest tendency of self-seeking. It was not hit to make a record, it was not his to shift blame to other shoulders, bat it was bi., with on eye fixed upon the welfsre of his country, never faltering, to follow the line of duty to the end. His was the heart that braved every difficult}; hit was the mind that wrought victory out of defeat." Speaking of the seven days’ battles aroaud Richmond, Mr. Davis said General Lee conceived and executed the desperate plan to turn the dank and rear of McClel lan's army, which drove it from the city. He said that the failure to annihilate the Federal army was doe chiefly to ths fact that General Lee had no maps of the oonn- try below Richmond, and that his arm; 1 moved in ignorance of the oountry am I with guides who, far the moat part, proved themselves utterly inefficient He said that General Lee's object in the retreat from Petersburg was to reach Donvide, and then unite with General Johnston and crush Sherman before Grant could come up Id s[>eaking of Stonewall Jackson bo said nobody expected that this quiet professor when he loft the academic shade# of the 'Virginia Military Institute would have an opportunity to show the great qualities he possessed and become the great hero of the war. Ho added: "The silent professor constantly rose like a meteor over the bat tlefield of the Confederacy—only like a meteor in ito brightness, for bis light was steady is the orb of dey. It shone to the very close, increasing in brilliancy and in the trout which the people reposed upon it. lie lived for hie country, never doubling tbe jnuice of the cause, believing it wee righteous and trusting in it. He died feel ing that the Confederacy ought to have suc ceeded, because it was founded on truth and justice: He geve bis life for the whole country, and the country gave its heart to After thne speaking in the matt exalted terms of him, Mr. Davie said Jackaon stands in the opinion of European, the mightiest chieftain of the Confederate causa Had he not fallen at Chancellors- ville, he taye. the Fedtral army of the Po tomac, the bulwark of the union in the Atlantis States, would have disappeared into history under circumstances far differ ent from those which marked its dissolu tion two yean la’tr. Mr. Daria .peeks in the warmest praise ol Gen. A P. HUL "He was." he say*. to- "brave and skillful, and always ready to A a**y order, sad do hie tall duty." After ■1 alluding to tLc fact that Gen. Ilill wu killed diet never lived or died in the cause of right." Referring to the cbsjge that has often been made against him of favoritism at Richmond, Mr. Davis replied: "I have no knowledge of Dor do I believe that any sys tem of favoritism existed st Richmond or was practiced there by any of those en- truated with the details of any service, or that my expressed wishes for .the selection of men best fitted for the duty they were to perform had undue weight" Mr. Davis never was a disnnionist, not even in bis subsequent approval of seces sion, in the sense of a wanton and treason able disposition to sever the bonds of that association of coequal sovereignties which the founders of tbe Federal government bequeathed to their posterity. Hie action at all times before tbe war was thoroughly consistent with bis declared opinions, and with the earneat attachment to the Union avowed in his Con gressional speeches and in his publio ad dresses everywhere. In 18U1 his course was the logical sequence of his opinions, main tained and asserted from his introduction to public life. To save the Union upon the only basis upon which it could rest as a guarantee of liberty—the basis of absolute equality among tbo States; to blend federal power and State right#—was tbe grand, paramount object to which all his aspira tions and all his investigations of politic d science were directed. Repudiating tbe power of a State to nullify an act of Con- tress, and} et not surrender its normal re- stions ss a member of tbe Union, be always asserted tjje right of secession, in the last resort, as an original, inherent and vital attr-bnte of State sovereignty. The federal government, to his mind, was a mere agent of the State", created ty them for a few general and interstate purposes, but having in it no principle subversive of the paramount sovereignty of the States. Mr. Davis says be had uever urged the ex pediency of secession, though upon repented occasienn he hod foreshadowed its probable necessity in tbe future oh tbe only remedy remaining to the South in certain contin gencies. "As to the action c f the Southern Senators in 18(11 suggesting to the States they represented that secession was the only remedy in view," Mr. Davis saya "it is only necessary t mark that it was the conclusion drawn from the failure of every attempt to get any adjuatment of the questions at issue which wuidd giro security to the peo pie of the Honth. In Jannury, 1861, I served on a committee raised by the Senate to seek some possible mode of quelling the excitement that then existed. The com mittee was composed of the three political divisions of the Senate, and it was consid ered useless to report any measure which did not receive the concurrence of at least a majority of each division. The North ern, so called the Republican Senators, rejeoted every proposition that promised pacification, ami tbe committee re ported to the Senate that the con sultation was a failure. Mr. Douglas, a Northern Democrat, assailed tbe Repub lican Bide of the Senate for their refusal to accept any terms that were offered to them, and demanded of them to know what they proposed to do, and in that connection re ferred to Senator Toombs and myself as having been willing to accept the line of 66 degrees 60 minutes, or, os it was termed, the Missouri compromise, and that the Northern Republicans rejeoted the proposi tion. The veutrable Senator Crittenden, of the committee, used all his power and influence on the side of tbe peaoefnl efforts of the Southern members, and not unfre- quently expressed himself in the moat de cided terms aa to the conduct of tbe op- FROM AFRICA.

Mississippi secedtd on thcUtb of January, 1861, Mr. Davis reo.ived formal announcement of the event snd witharew on the 21»t, after pro nouncing sn impressive valedictory to the Senate. Retiring from the tieuute, Mr. Davit returned within a few daye thereafter to his reside’ ce In Briaifield, Warren coun ty, Mies. Tbe Bute waa not nnmiudful of the necessity of preparations tor a war, and Mr. Davie was honored by su appoint ment to the command of tbe militia of tbe Stale, with the rank of major-general. There b«s been considerablediacutdon as to the election of Mr. Davis to the presi dency of tbe Confederacy. He waist borne at the time and did not flesiro the honor. He wye be hod inspected his name would be luggeated, and "prompt and u be thought adequate mean* had been taken to invent it.” Hta inclinations were for mil iary life, ne bad won diitin<-tion as a sol dier. In a speech he said; "I have no am bition but to be at tbe bead of gallant Mhe eiseippUna once more, leading them to the charge." Gen. Toombs, who was always abusing somebody or something, and who wanted the Presidency himself, claimed that it was never intended to elect Mr. Davie, and that bis elevation was secured through trickery." Mr. Btephens, to hie “Wer Between tbe States," credits this report Judge A. M. Clayton, of Alabama, lays: "By a Uvr at fixed ee gravitation itaelf, and as little disturbed by outside influence, tbe minds of members ({entered on Mr. Davis." Hon. Duncan F. Kenner, of Louisiana, write*; ’'The general inclination was for M. Davis, and Mr. Rhett wu next mart prominently mentioned. Tbe Loniatana delegates, without the elighUet hesitation, unanimously declared in favor of Mr. Davit. No other name wu mentioned or alluded jo." Hon. Wm. Further Miles, of South Carolina, says: "Then wu eulire unanimity in the choice for President." Mr. Davia wu therefore elected because he wu the fittest men, without hta interior, ence and a|ainat his expressed wishes. He accepted tbe position with dignity, urved bis people tbly and honorably, and did all that mancculd have done to lead hie people to final victory. J. T. 8. THE QUARRY CATASTROPHE.
