JEPF. DAVIS on PERPIDY.--In his congratula-
tory account of the exploits of the Merrimac
JEFF Davis takes occasion to comment upon the
"pcrfdy' of those Union men on the Congress
who killed the rebel Lieutenant Miner, after
hosting. a white flag. Really, although Lieu
tenant Miner was killed on board the Congress,
after the display of a white flag, there. was no
"perfidy whatever in the case. The Lieu
tenant was shot by rfemen on shore, who
did not observe that the figate had surren-
dered: and we are at loss to see how, under
these circumstances, any charge OF "perfidy"
can be sustained against the Union men on or
of the Congress.
There was "perfdy' Of the basest sort dis
PLAYED during that battle, however; but the
rebels have the sole guilt of it. When
the Cumberland was sinking, none of
the rebels on board the Merrimac, the
jamestown or the Yorktown made the slight
est effort TO save the lives and make prisoners
Of our brave, drowning sailors. This was not
civilized war, but murder, fit to be enacted
under the stars and bars, or the black flag
equally piratical, which the Merrimac hoated
at her first appearance off Craney Island. Has
not JEFF. Davis some word Of reprobation Tor
this 'perfdy," or are the cursed Yankees too
barbarous TO be fought like men?
1t is singular to hear the charge OF "perhdy"
coming from JEFF. Davis, who has just had the
audaeity to advise the rebel Congress to release
the returned rebel prisoners from their parole
of honor. 90 that he may fill up the army with
them. This peradious device will doubtless be
adopted and carried into effect Ii will no,
help JEFF. Davis much, however, for The returned
prisoners are few, and their desire TO fight us
again is very weak. Of course such psrfdy
will not degrade JEFF. Davis or his rebels.
They are so low, now, that Satan himself feels
selfrighteous when he thinks of them.
