The Opinion Of Pre.ideu. Davis.

It will be recollected that some weeks s;nce Mr..
Nelson, Of Tennessee, was arrested and carried to
richmond, ard that, upon. making his submission
as loyal citizen to Tennessee and the Confederate
States, he was: discharged by President Davis. In
his letter to Mr.. Nelson, President Davis, among
other things said:
The desire of this Government being to main.
tain the independence it has asserted by the united
Keeling and action of all its citizens, it has been its
policy not to enter into questions of differences of
political opinions heretofore existing
This language is creditable to- and worthy Of the
first President of the new Republic 1t should
crimson with shame the checks of those in this
State who have adopted the policy, as a general
rule of excluding from high places in the army, and
from high political stations all who did not seek
with Mr.. Yancey and Others to destroy the old Re-
public. Former Union men do very we'll in the
ranks. They can carry muskets and fight Yes
they can and they will do that no matter hon they
are treated but the writing commissions, and the
horse back Offices and the high places, are reserved
for original secessionsts for the sons of original
secessionsts, and for such others happen to have
commanding social or family influence. We would
insult our friends in the ranks if we were to exhort
them to bear all this for the sake of their country
for such exhortaton would imply doubt as to their
devotion to the cause. Happen what may, they will
never abandon that cause. "Nether death nor life,
nor principalities nor powers, nor things present
things to come" will be able to separate them
for one moment from the cause of Southern indie
pendence. The day is coming when the people will
avenge their wrongs, and when those who think
only of party in the midst Of war; will b consigned
to oblivion, if not to inEamy.
DEATH OF A PROMISING YoUNG MAN.-We regret
to have to announce the death of JAS \. Wal Ghal
Adjutant of the l4th regiment of N c. Volunteers
the son of the Rev. Mr.. Walthall, of this City. lie
died at Warrenton, Va, on the 9th August, in the
2lst year Of his age of typhoid fever. The Colonel
of the regiment writing to his father speaks in the
highest terms of his virtues and sodief1y qualities
He says, "he had endeared himself to all by the
gentleness of his manners and had secured the re-
spect of the regiment by his evident proficiency in
his military duties"

The w llmIngt0n journal may rest assured
that it was not intention to do it injustice the
subject of the coast defences What we meant was
that that paper had been speaking out but not in the
most "determined tones" until recently towards au-
thorities who have been remiss in their duty We
remember that during the Convention the Journal
sounded notes Of warning in relation to the coast,
and that VIC read from that paper in secret session
on the subject; and We remember also, that both of
the delegates in Convention from New Hanover
voted against the ordinance to raise seven thousand
men to defend the coast. We mention this, not to
censure but in justice to the Journal and to refresh
the minds of our readers Perhaps the vote Of Mr..
Ashc may he partially explained by the fact that he
held that he was sent to the Convention for no other
purpose than to 90 out of the old and into the
government.
In reply to the attempt of depraved public jour.
nal of this City, to hold the press and every one
else responsible for the disaster at Hatteras but those
who are really responsible, the Journal says:
"Now this attempt to shift responsibility from the
shoulders of those really guilty, is too ptfuy weak
to be even amusing. The Slate Journal ought to
have completed the thing consistently, and charged
the misfortune at HatteraS to the communication
which appeared in the Journal two or three days
after Hatteras was taken. The correspondent of
the journal stated nothing Of which the enemy was
not as well aware we were; and we were fully
satisfied of this before inserted the conmunica
ton in question: Is not the State Journal aware
that but the other DAY night four negroes shrewd
! intelligent rascals or more of them pilots, and
all perfectly familiar with every foot of ground and
every gun and every battery put up within miles of
the mouth of the Cape Fear, escaped to the bocka-
| ding vessel and were sent Immediately to Fortress
Monroe? Farther, if the State journal knew the
localities and circumstances would have been per-
fecty aware that the precise position of Camp Wyatt
must be known to persons on board vessels cruising
around and lying off.
Law it before the authorties! We Away thought
that the State Journal had fine vein of irony, but
this is so keen, the satire so excrucating that we
must add to our opinion of its Abilities and exalt
our admiration into enthusiasm. Why, half the
prominent citizens of Wilmington and other places,
we suppose, hnue done so, and have received a poo
poo! from one and tut-tut! from another. What
else was to be expected from Military Board, that
stated on the 10th of June, as fact of which no
doubt could be entertained, THAT the power Of the
United States Navy is not sufficient to effect an en-
trance into any of the harbors Of the State"
/ We speak of the Military Board, because the at
tempt to hold the dying Governor responsible for
that assurance would be as foolish as it would be
ungenerous We know that the people of the State
do not, but zoe knou that they do attach the rsspo-
sibility to the Military Board"
