President Davis.

The Aississippian, influential paper in Missis-
sppi considers that the great contest for freedom
in which the Confederate States now engaged is
to be decided in the valley of the Mississippi" 1t
also expresses the hope that President Davis will
take the field in person. and command the army of
the West 1t says
"Let it be known that he was to lead the South
ern army in person and our people would flock to
his standard from every hill and glen in the COnfed
eracy The command. Onward my braves -
from the lips of Jefferson Davis would be worth 30
O0O men," -. --H~ --
The West now has Beauregard, whose name is
tower of strength. Mr.. Davis perhaps has more
hold upon Mississppians. But who is to manage
the helm of State if Mr.. Davis takes the field p
The Constitution very properly makes no provision
for filling the Chair of the Chief Civil Executive,
when the incumbent puts himself at the head of the
troops. The union of the Civil Magistrate and the
Military Dictator in one man, seems not to have
been thought of by the trainers of the Constitution
Congress has very properly vetoed such an idea, by
providing for commanding General other than the
President

Gen, Beauregard.

1t is possible that Gems, Lee, and the two John
stons, Joseph and Albert Sydney, are the equals OF
Beauregard in respects yet so far 1t is evident
that none of them are so much dreaded by the Yam
KEGS, and none of them have taken that strong hold
upon the feelings and affections of the people that
he has. The appointment of Commanding General
has no doubt fallen into able hands, in comforting
it upon Gen. Lee, yet his name does not inspire in
the hearts of the people such confidence of success
as would have been the appointment of Beauregard
With Lee or Albert S. Johnston Secretary of War
and Beauregard as the Commanding General, the
tide of Southern feeling would soon be at the full
and the current of fortune would doubtless set In
with redoubled power and energy.

PUBLIC MEETING IN RALEtGH.-A very large num-
Der of the citizens of Raleigh assembled in the Court
House on Monday evening last to consider wheth-
err they should apply to President Davis to declare
martial law in Raleigh and for ten miles around
Mayor Root presided and Mr.. German acted as
Secretary The matter was discussed at length by
NJ A. Bledsoe, Esq, for martial law, and h. W.
Miller, ESQ., against it, when the meeting by an
immense majority, and wisely as we think, voted
down the proposition of Mr.. BledSoe. Certainly
there is no necessity at this time for MAJ tial law in

DRUNKEN OFFIcERs.-If a common soldier is found
drunk, he is sent to the guard house and severely
punished; but officers may drink to excess, and
may be seen time and again under the influence of
ardent spirits and yet no steps are taken to
these officers from their commands, or even to CEN
sure them. Strong drink, when excessively indul.
ged in blunts the moral sense unbalances and stupe-
fes the Judgment and renders its unhappy victim
ct for any employment Let action be taken in relaa
ton to officers we'll as soldiers Let the army be
purged of proAgstes and drunkards.s We have
suffered greatly already on account of neompetency,
Drunkenness and sloth in our armies. Let the au-
thorities look to these things. If they should fail
to apply the remedy they will be held responsible
by an injured and indignant people.
