PRESIDENT DAVIS AND GEN. WASH
INGTON

At one time, during our revolutionary war, there
plan gotten up, by one of the officers of the
army, to supplant Gen. Washington, and give the
chief command Of our revolutionary forces to Gen.
Gates. 1t was alleged that Washington was in
competent, too slow, &C., &c. The same charges
were brought against the general-in-che that
have been brought against President Davis.
Washington was deeply chagrined and mortified
at this, but he acted like true patriot, suppress
ed his indignation, and ate his griefs in silence
In letter to Mr. Laurens, the president of Con-
gress, Gen. Washington wrote:
"My enemies take ungenerous advantage of
me. They know the decacy of my situation, and
that motives Of policy deprive Of the defense
might otherwise make against their insidious at
tacks. They know [ cannot combat their insinua-
tons, crinurious, without disclosing secrets
it is of the utmost Importance to conceal. But
why should l expect to be exempt from censure,
the unfailing lot of an elevated station? Merit
and talents, which | cannot pretend to rival, have
ever been subject to it. My heart tells me it has
been my unrcmitted aim to do the best which
circumstances would permit yet may have been
very often mistaken in my judgment Of the means,
aad may, in many instances, deserve the imputa-
tion of error"
Every one will recognize in the foregoing state
ment of his case by Gen. Washington, the case of
President Davis, precisely But we believe that
even the Charleston Mercury and Richmond Tx
aminer have ceased their war upon our President

PRICE oS NEWspAPERs-The Southern
Watchman puts up the following knock down ar
gnmcnt in reference to the price of newspapers to
which We invite the attention Of all readers:
1t is said that owing to the peculiar circum-
stances of the case it would be unfair to take
gold us standard of value. Iuasmuch as corn is
the basis of our provision crop let US try that as
standard. When We published our paper at 81,
Eecould buy four bushels of corn for that amount
Our paper was therefore worth four bushels of
corn. -Four bushels Of corn is now worth S12 in
Ii senarkct, and further up the country $40. Our
EeeserB there fore worth Sl2 by the corn standard
was formerly worth two bushels Of wheat
Wheatwas selling here few weeks ago at Sl2
Measured by the wheat standard, our paper is
worth s24. years subscription to our paper
would formerly buy ten pounds of sole leather,
which, ut present prices, amounts to $50. Our
paper is therefore, measured by this standard,
worth $50 per year. AZ years subscription would
formerly buy four yards of jeans III sixteen yards
of cotton homespun. The four yards orleans is
worth $40, and the country homespunss24 at this
time. According to this standard, oar paper is
now worth from $40 to s24. A years subscrip-
ton would formerly buy sixteen pounds of bacon,
which will now cost SIG or upwards. Hence our
lpaper is worth SIC by The bacon standard. We
might go on I'D tnfnitum, in every case that to
bring newspapers to level with everything else
Rould FIX their price at fr9maSl2 to $50 per year.
