0 In recent article in the New York
Tribune upon Gen. Jefferson Davis, he was
called sthe Yeriest Of cowards.n The best
answer to this is that given by . contemporary,
VINO says that while Davis was riding at the
head Of his Mississippians through hailstorm
Of bullets on the field of Buena Vista, the
whlte-llvered- craven who wrote that article
sat in his garrett scribbling o defence of the
Mexlcans, trusting that they would welcome
ms countrymen with bloody hands to hospita-
Die graves. A pretty fellow this to have
conception OF what courage is !-Monmout6
