Jen. Davis a Joker.

The Memphis Argus, in one Of its late
issues which fortunately wandered North
ward, says a committee Of Marylanders, So
journiug in Richmond, recently called on
President Davis, to the number of sixteen,
in order to give force and weight to. their
representation, and begged him "to send an
army of liberation to their State to protect
their wives and daughters from the out
RACES of Gen. Sickles' brigade" 1t is hard
Iy necessary to state that said brigade has
committed no "outrages" as charged. But
the reply of the bogus President to the
ngentlemen from Maryland is SO facetious
that we print it, VeTbatsnl
ar sympathize, gentlemen, with you and
your noble people. My heart bleeds at the
accounts which receive of the brutal out
RACES of the Federal army in the lower
counties of your State, suit I am restrained
Jy principles Of high political necessity from
sending an army into Maryland, or ip0Gding
or violating The sovereignty Of her SOIL
As JEFF. Davis has not heretofore had the
reputation of joker, we might suppose this
declaration was meant to be accepted in all
seriousness, though when we take into con-
sideration the convenient relaxation be al
lowed himself to take from the restraints
imposed by principles of high political ne
eessity" in the case of Missouri and Ken
lucky, we are slightly tempted to arrive Al
tne conclusion that the army of Gen. Nc
Olellan helped the Confederate President to
the maguanimous resolve that he would not
invade or violate the sovereignty of the soil
Of Maryland" aodsa
