EG Garrett (his name ought to have
been Garrulus) Davisssof Kentucky, was
literally skinned alive " in the United
States Senate on Monday last. In a speech
he had declared that some of the acts pass
ed by Congress were unconstitutional, and
would be resisted by the whole white pop
lation of Kentucky, and he would counsel
his people to resist by every mode of re-
sistance they could devise. A correspor-
dent of the Cincinnati papersIgives the fol-
lowing in this connection
Mr.. Davis denied that be used these
words, but they were thus taken down by
the Globe reporter.
Mr.. Wilson discussed the point of order
that the language was reasonable. He
was severe on Mr.. Davis, and the matter
was apparently much enjoyed by the Senate.
In a subsequent speech Mr.. Davis ex-
planned his position to mean that every citi-
zen could decide as to the constitutionality
of laws, and resist them if he believed them
unconstitutional until the question should
be decided by the Supreme Court, and TAX
ing the responsibility of his action.
Mr.. Howard raised the point that in a
previous speech, Mr.. Davis had preached
mUtiny in the army, in the contingence of
the passage of confscation bill. Mr..
Davis denied that he ment more than that
if the question were referred to the armies,
they'd vote no. Finally Mr.. Fessenden, in
his most skillful manner, finished Mr.:
Davis.

! Country to our cause, 6y their willingness

their blood in its support.
3D. We need the encouragement of the
people by more liberal display of patriot
ism than has yet been made. The tame
submission yielded to the invader wherever
he appears, is in striking contrast to the
boast we have hitherto heard of the readl-
ness which prevailed on every hand to well
come the hirelings with bonfres, composed
of the villages and property of the people.
If our land is to be overrun and our pee
pie to be subjugated, let US leave our con-
querors smouldering waste to reward them
for their toll and pains. Burn every ham
let, village and city. Give the torch freely
to your cotton and your houses. Let the
prod uct of your lives be laid waste. Fly
your selves before the invaders where re-
sistance can no longer avail.
This display of determination and spirit for
the cause in which we are enlisted,
will give % encouragement, to continue the
struggle Wherever the enemy achieve
a victory let it be a bootless one, so that
their bands nowlIed on by the hope ofplunder
may be disappointed, discouraged, and we
shall be eheered by the manifestations of
devotion and patriotism. Once more we
expect you to;;wake and shakeoff the lethargy
that hangs over you. Strike for the free

our confederacy may yet be firmly estab-
lished. This is our last and only resource.

Davis explains itself:
{ PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL.
CAPITOL, G. S. A, RICHMOND,
April 18th, 1862.
SIR 1T can no longer be denied thai
the prospects of success of the Southern
Confederacy are gloomy and forboding on
every hand. Whether through lack of ski
or through the open treachery of officers in
our army and navy, it matters not, we
meet with disaster and defeat. With 8
continuance of such results, ere the month
shall pass away, our boosted Confederacy
will exist only in history.
The past shows that we need larger dis
plays of patriotism, military skill, personal
branes and a frner spirit of devotion to
the just cause in which we have enlisted
Unless these requisites develope themselves
to a fitting extent, we fight in vain. Un-
less we have more clear indications tina;
the great heart of the people is with US our
efforts will be futile. The Government is
impatient to retrieve disasters that have be-
fallen US and that yet stare US in the face
on every hand unless the people rally to
its assistance.
Mcclellan is already on the Potomac
Halleck's operations in the South west are
at every step successful against US. The
Federal army are already threatening the
metropolis of the Southwest and the keys
to our grannaries. Florida is over run
by Northern invaders, while wherever we
look we gaze on an advancing army.
In this trying emergency the government
appeals to the people, to the brave heart.
aud strong wills of the South it cries
awakeI Your hands have been put to the
p!ow, will you now look back and repeat
your past act2 You have struck out nobly
for independence, pledging your lives and
fortunes to its procurements. Will you
submit gently to invasion aud to the DESC
lation of your homes, the destruction oil
confscation of your property, the abandon
meut of your cherished Institutions.
Arss and convince the world that the
boosted chivalry of the South is more than
Evolutionary myth. This appeal is made
to the country, not openly, for obvious sea
sons. We make the appeal to the people
through the Governors of States compri,
sing the Confederacy, and through officers
of the army.
To these mediums the circular is SEN
with an earnest request that its spirit and
intent if not it's letter be conveyed to every
citizen of our struggling Republic:
| First of all we ask for material aid
| money or such equivalent therefore as will
enable US to maintain our army. Clothing
and provisions viii be acceptable instead o
money when the latter cannot be obtained
I'd, We need men. The ranks of ouI
army in the field is constantly being Trimmed
| by the casualties Of battle the sickness
incident to camp life and expiration of en-
| listments. We cannot close our eyes to the
fact that the places are not filled SO prompt
ly as they should be.
