STEVENSON, ALA, Feb lSth 1861.
Editors Union and American Il was truly as
tonshed at finding in your issue of the 10th nst an
article purpOrting to contain synopsis of the
speech of the Hon. Jefferson Davis at this place,
(while en- route for Montgomery so grossly mis-
representing every sentiment uttered by that Hon.
gentleman. Mr.. DAVIS made no war-like speech
whatever; he gave it his opinion that after Mr..
Lincoln's Inauguration, the Government would at
tempt coercive measures with the Southern States
he regretted much that such would be the case but
declared that the South would stand upon the de-
fensive and fearessly meet and repel all invaders
of her soil.
As to his threatening to carry fire and sword in
to the Northern States there is not semblance of
truth in the assertion. True, he drew a parallel
between the two sections in either one should
be invaded; showing which of the two would be
liable to sustain the greater loss should such an
event take place. He said, should the
upon the people of the South as to be
irresistible they could retire with their families
into the mountain Businesses and from the natural
Notifications of the country, could wage defensive
war and dispute every inch OF territory with them;
and the only real i'll that would result 10 the invaded
would be the devastation of their farms, which
would again the next year, under the skilful man
agement of the husbandman, yield as abundantly as
before. While, the contrary, the North, under
like circumstances would suffer far more seriously
for they being manufacturing people, the sword
and the torch could lay waste their manufacturing
eitesw which it would take series of years and mil
lions of money to rebuild" he deprecated war,
and ardently desired that the difficulties between
| the Southern COnfederacy and the United States,
might be amicably adjusted, but feared and beliey-
cd that the Union Representations manifested by
Tennessee, and other border States would tend to
induce the North to attempt what they term an en-.
| fOrcement of the laws. The above is the sum total
of Hon. JEFF. Davs's speech at Stevenson, in mpa-
ture. Very truly. yours Il.

does not now look t men, but to principles. But
how fortunate is our country? She has not only the
principles for the administration of government, but
also the man. She has found in the distinguished
gentleman she has called to preside over her public
affairs the statesman the soldier and the patriot.
(Applause.) She has the statesman-one eminently
skilled in public affairs, thoroughly understanding
the great principles on which our government is
based, skllful wise, and moderate. She has the
soldier distinguished upon the field of battle, wise
IN council, terrible in the charge. [Applausel She
has patriot just, upright and incorruptible. Gap
pause) Neither fear would deter or favor seduce
him or cause him to swerve from the path of recti-
tude and duty. 1 may say again. fortunate, thrice
fortunate are the people of the South. They have
found the man as well as the principles man in
whom is combined in so eminent degree the wis
dom of the statesman, the skill of the soldier. and
the incorruptibllity of the patriot. The man and
the hour have met We may now hope that pros
perity. honor and victory await his administration.

The session of the Peace Conference to-day was
anything but harmonious. Messrs. Tyler, Seldom
and Brockenbrough of Virginia have agreed on a
minority report, dissenting from the Guthrie plan,
and opposing it in,the Convention. There IS like
wise opposition from some Republicans. Wilmot
of Pennsylvania opposes the Guthrie proposition,
and there is every prospect of long and excited
debate, without any decisive results. The opinion
is quite prevalent to-day that the Peace Convention
will end III nothing. No little excitement has been
cansed by these developments. The Virginia and
Missouri Commissioners demand Of the Peace Con-
ference an immediate settlement. otherwise they
viii withdraw The Republicans say they must
have time for discussion.

From the Special Dispatches to the Cincinnati Gazette
WAsHISaToN, February l6.

Information has been received here that the Sum-
ter question has been considered in the secret session
of the Montgomery Congress. The South Carolina
delegation urged an attack under the war making
power given by the Constitution, but the majority of
the other delegations opposed it the ground that
there was no policy in making war on another Gov
eminent in the absence of any international rela-
tons and contended that after the Inauguration of
President Davis a Minister should be sent to this
Government So Lincoln will haye some difficulties
to encounter on this question.
