is hoped that there is to be farce in the oath OF
allegiance. Ii is manifest as the noon-day 8 sun
that there are numbers of citizens intending 10
take the oath to hamboozle and eyade our laws.
Moreover, let every one that takes it, II he IS not
over age, be required 70 join some military COM
pany forthwith, and it will be something OF an
evidence Of sincerity that he may become citizen
other than for pecuniary advantage. We have no
faith in the new tangled Southernism which will be
blatant for weeks to come.

There were several amusing remarks about the
Ivy, Pickens, and the Hessian gun-boat Water
witch. 1t was talked of that the Pickens was a
very fast craft. The least said, however, about
this affair the better.

More vessels or gunboats are wanted at once.
Gen. Dahlgren has removed his brigade of 100

President Davis as Viewed by NORTHERN
ri Fla sPYess. HF&a"T


The; Chicago Post, an ultra Northern sheet, pub
lished the following paragraph at the time it was
circulated in the North that President Davis was
dead. The concentrations to come from an enemy.
are liberal; yet much more might be Justly and
truthfully said of the distinguished Southron:
1t is not known at the time these lines are writ
ten whether Jefferson Davis, the President of the
Southern rebels, is or is not dead. His death is in
our judgment, an event of the deepest Importance
to the rebels, and consequently to the Union,
In his loss the rebels lose the only man thew have
who united in his own person the peculiar charac.
teristics of a successful leader. He was a man
whose personal integrity had always stood high,
He had never been connected as far as we have
ever heard, with any scheme of plumber for per
sonal gain. The people of the South respected
him for his talents and for his personal worth. He
has also the credit of being an accomplished
soldier. When in the Senate he was Chairman of
the Committee on Military Affairs, and afterwards
served four years as Secretary of War. In both
positions he was considered a competent and thor.
oughly informed officer. He had ALWAYS been an
ultra Southern man; he had always been extreme
in his demands for slavery, and in this way had
become, when the rebellion broke out the leader
Of the ultra fraction. He was practical man in
all the details of business. He was good speaker
his voice, though sharp, was not unmusical, and
his manner when speaking was confident and
pleasing.
To those who knew him only by reputatiou. his
general manner and appearance indicated sour
ness and austerity which was foreign to his nature
In personal intercourse he was remarkably pleas
ant, and possessed of an atfability and Courtesy
that never failed to produce pleasant impression
