with the present Our people can be As-
sured Of one thing, at least, and act ao-
cordingly. There is no probability of
their again passing under the rule of
JEFF. Davis. For that we have the word
Of n man who was never less than his
word. Gen. Burnside, on his arrival yes
terday evening at his headquarters in
this city, was surrounded by a large
crowd OF cur citizens and in response TO
repeated calls, said that his profession
was arms and not speaking, but he would
say from the moment no took command
of the Department of the Ohio, IL had
been his teryent wish 20 lead an army
into East Tennessee to our deliverance,
and that he took pleasure in assuring us
that he had come with means sufficient,
with our assistance, TO hold the country
permanently and securely.
Here is something tangible, and our
people 80 acting as not to disappoint the
just expectations of Gen Burnside, we
can safely say that we have seen the last
day Of our humiliation. Above all
things let as not waste our energies in
petty feuds. The human heart is a
fiery furnace at best and such wrongs 80
ours would stir q fever in the blood OF
age; but let us leave vengeance TO the
authorities. We who have been the
victims Of lawless violence should now
shun the least approach TO it ourselves,
and we know General Burnside we'll
enough to say that not one of those few
OF the rebels yet remaining among us
will be permitted TO lay so much as the
tip of his finger upon the Ark of our
Government. Leave TO him, then, the
dealing out of punishment for the past,
and the establishment of security in the
future. Our duty is to gather around
him in our might, strengthening his
hands by every means he may indicate.
And this, there is no earthly doubt. is
what our people will do. The change is
In form only. In the future we may per-
form sacrifice upon our country's affairs,
openly and boldly in the light of day,
while in the past such sacrifice was
offered but secretly aud by stealth,
Let us, then, offer up fervent prayers
of Thanksgiving to Almighty God for
our great deliyerance, and 80 demean

From information gathered from vAri-

remuneration OF Je1f Davis.
The admirers of JEFF Davis wonted
abilities will be not little chagrined
and mortified TO see that narrow mine ed,
but strong willed man, ridiculed for his
inefiiciency, by the leading rebel jour
malls. Read the following
From the Charleston e. CO. Mercury, Sept. 81
constitutional Government Co.
Ordinate Branches.
Although carefully covered over with
the mantle Of secresy by Congress.
enough has been disclosed by stern re.
alities to show the total inoompetency of
President Davis TO govern the affairs Of
the Coniederaoy. He has lost the conh
dence Of both the army and the people;
and if an election tomorrow was to
come off for the Presidency, we believe
that he would not get the vote of sim
gle State IN the Coniederaoy. Yetif the
Provisional Congress had done its duty
il the present Congress would do it's
duty-President Davis could readily be
driven into course sot efficiency He
10 President OF The Confederate States
for six years. The Constitution has not
been proved to be inadequate TO rectify
his imOecilIties. lie can be controlled
and directed, as the king Of Great Brit
am is.
Congress must assume its duties under
the Constitution, as an independent ele-
ment Of power. Ii must abandon the
IDEA that its only a secret body for reg
is;ering the will OF the President IL
must be- the people, standing forth in tho
light Of day, clothed with the whole leg
.slatlve power Of the gov, Tnment, and
with their agent, the President, instru-
mental for their deliVerance. That our
cause will ultimately triumph we do not
doubt, IN spite OF the incompetency OF
President DAVIS and his silly aud most
disastrous policy, by which the Confed-
crate States have been deluged with
blood, and covered over with suffering
aad misery. His efficiency and YAM
kee iuoticlency will both be overcome.
But II President Davis Is to be trosted
as 'our Moses" we really do not see tho
use Of Congress. II the people, through
their representatives in Congress, are ~
exercise no power, but at the bidding Of
the executive, Congress 10 nOnentity. IL
is worse il Is tool Of the executive, by
which the Constitution IS practically
overthrOwn and a military dictatorship
established in it's stead, characterized by
a base assumption Of power on the part
of the executive, and q bAser betrayal OF
trust on the part Of Congress.
What will the COpperheads say, who
have always asserted that JEFF Davis
observed profound regard for the Con-
stitution
