"I see that President Davis has called upon Gov.

GENTLEMEN At my request the Rev. R. j.
Graves, who very recently returned from the North,
hope you will give to your readers His impress
sons you will sec are very different from those ex-
pressed in your issue of the 18th inst, and, ap.
prehend, much more correct need not say it is
very important that our people have just views of
the purposes Of our enemies. The writer of the ar
tcle on the 18th, it seems to me, would lull the
South into false and dangerous security. At all
events let both sides be represented.

there was Q demonstration that some hourc

cry morning driven along the avenue, and
for some reason best known to themselves
prefer the sidewalk, had made other un-
seemly exhibitions; while almost everywhere
was seen the foul tobacco. spit Of some hu-
yman beast; or the product Of consumpt.ve
cough, or blow from a nose, not emptied
before within twelve hours. In the course
Of an hour or two, the prime part OF all
these denominations is deposited on the vel.
