From the Ncks5urg san.
Letter from Hon. JEFF. Davis.

i We refer our readers to the letter which
we publish below, from the pen of Col JEFF,
Davis 1t was written in response to one adj
dressed to him by Col. W. B. Sloan, OF this
| city, inviting him to be present at the Breck-
inridge and Lane ratification meeting which
came off on Saturday last. It will be OBJ
served that he speaks in the most encoura-
gi1g terms in regard to the success of our
ticket It rejoiees US to hear that the cloud
which for time seemed to lower upon our
house has silver hning-a sign that can but
animate the soul Of the true Democrat, and
Intuse new hope and JOY into the heart of the
patriot:
WAsHINaToN, D. c., July s, 1860
Ny DEAR SIR:-It gives me pleasure to
acknowledge yours of the I'd inst, informing
me that the Democrats of our county were TO
assemble on the 14th to ratify the nomination
of Breckenridge and Lane; and that they par
ticularly desired me to be present on that oc-
easion. My health does not permit me TO re-
turn home at this season and to the many
regrets connected with that fact IS to be add
ed the inability to unite with my Democratic
neighbors in declaring our acceptance of the
ticket which is the fair exponent of our polit-
ical faith. Thoughw we cannot but lament that
u
denied articles of our creed so essential as to |
produce division, it is matter of congratula- |
ton that our party had enough Of vitality to |
bearamputation, and adhenng to fundamental
principles, to give us good candidates on a
good platform.
Believing the preservation of the govern
ment in its yigor and purity to depend mainly
Dn the Democracy, hoped earnestly for its
unity and harmony but when it became
manifest that the organization, and consequent
power of the party, could only be maintained
by the surrender Of constitutional duties,
-ejoced that Mississippi was represented at
he Convention by men who were equal to
he nobler part of yindicating her equality
md honor, regardless alike Of empty promises
md emptier threats.
To admit that our property is not entitled
70 receive from the General Government such
protection as it affords to the property of 9TH
sr sections, is-to consent to be degraded below
Dur fellows. Such proposition needs no ar
state it is to present its condem-
nation. Our party alone, of those now seek
ing popular support, recognizes the equality of
the right of the South to the common terrific
RES, and pledges there to give federal protec-
ion to the property Of our citizens by all the |
powers of the Federal arm
Can Southern man hesitate under such cir
as to which of the tickets he will
ldopt?
The political sky is daily growing brighter,
md permits US to look with increasing hope,
or the triumph of the National, that is, the
Constitutional Democracy.
Please offer assurances Of my affectionate
remembrance of my friends and neighbors,
he Democrats of Warren, and believe me to
e, Very truly, yours,
JEFFERSON DAVIS.

Mr.. EDTToR:-As have seen no account
of the recent examinations of the pupils of
the Southern Female College, / beg leave to
tons touching the exercises.
Long years of intimate acquaintance with
the proper management of male and female
Institutions of learning, have given me a toll
erably clear conception of the secret of their
success; and, after close observation of the
workings of the above college, am satisfied
that. the successful and brilliant exhibitions of
mind and scholarship displayed on the coca
sion referred to, was owing entirely to the
skill, efficiency and discipline of the Rev. DR..
I. II. Capers, its founder and head.
During four days of rigid and thorough ex-
aminations, am constrained to say, that with
one exception (and in making this exception |
east no reflection upon the intelligence and
ability of the young ladies Of the class, have
never witnessed an exhibition of finer schol-
arship or heard students recite with more
ease, accuracy, and seeming familiarity with
the principles of the various sciences taught
them. Indeed, the majority of the pupils
composing the classes of moral and natural
sciences, appeared to have made the text
books their own, and frequently ignoring the
strict letter of the books, gave the true spirit
of the texts in their own chaste language,
thereby affording abundant evidence that
something more than a mere aeorded nensOTv
had been brought into healthful and vigorous
action. This excellence was observed by all,
and obtained in all the classes with the ex-
ception above alluded to.
The resolutions published by the Board of
Trustees, complimentary to DIR. Capers, on his
ve-taking of the College, are alike honora.
bic to the gentlemen composing it, and to him
who has labored SO long and faithfully to give
tone and character to their Institution. While
as a friend and patron of the S. f. College, |
feel an interest in its success and prosperity,
yet l can but regret the necessity that urged
DIR. Capers to withdraw his invaluable seryi-
ces from its guidance and control His unri-
vailed discipline, his skill and ability in i'm
parting knowledge, his great tact in drawing
out and developing to their utmost capacity
the latent energies of the mind, and the az
fectionate tenderness which he SO happily
elicits from his pupils, all make him peculiarly
fitted for the high position which he occupied
as an instructor of youth lnflexible in the
enforcement of rules, impartial in the admin
istration of Justice and stern IN the demands
of obedience to law, yet withal, he possesses
the tenderness Of father for his children
and his pupils love him with all the ardor o
filial affection.
While the patrons of the College regret hi:
departure from among them, yet they will
ever rejoice in his success, and congratulate
the Institution that may be so fortunate as t
secure his invaluable services.
