jefferson Davis's Last Speech.

Mr.. jefferson Davis's address toSlis dis
heartened companions in revolt, delivered
ut Macon on the oath of Srptember, is in
its tone not unlike the terrible words which
Milton puts into the mouth of Satan when
he would rally his dropping followers aftel
icing cast out of heaven. Surveying TIL,
blissful seats which he could possess no
more, the archangle exclaimed:
"What though the field be lost
All is not lost the unconquerablc will,
And stud OF revenge, immortal hate,
And cour sc never to snbmit or yield"
In the same malignant mood our arch
rebel exclaimes that, in spite of reverses
in the field, in spite of forced retreats Of
hundreds of miles in length and of months
of duration, in spite of the dispersion ol
destruction of his armies, all was not lost
hatred of the Yankee was a. virulent ss
ever, will to rule Or ruin as uucOnquerable
the study how to revenge disaster and de-
feat as vivid and immortal.
But if the arrogance of Davis's speecl
was cha 'actcristic. the despondencv thu
nevertheless pervades it, the air Of ex-
treme and rcnediless despair which breaths
around it, is remarkable. We do not won
der that the Charleston Mercury shoui
regret the publication of its utterances. Or
that the Richmond Wing should advise

This sp .ech at Macon was one huge con
fession of weakness, bitter outbreak OF
batiied malice, Il cry of despair sent up
from til, very depths of an agonized
mind.-Evsning Post.

Speech of President Lincoln.

The following speech of President Lin
coin. delivered last evening at the Presi.
Dental Mansion in response to serenade
appears in the dispatches to the morning
papers:
The President was seranaded this even.
ing, and responded as follows, being fire..
quently interrupted: am notified that
this is a compliment paid me by the loyal
Maryanders resident in this District. l
infer that the adoption of the new Con-
s.ituton for the State furnishes the occas.
ion, and that in your views the extermi-
nation Of slavery constitutes the chief
merit of the new constitution. Most
heartily do l congratulate you and Mary.
land, and the nation and the world, upon
the event. | regret that it did not occur
two years sooner, which, ,m sure, would
have saved to the nation more money than
would have met all the private less Incl
dent to the measure. But it has come at
last, and sincerely hope its friends may
fully realize all their anticipations of good
from it, and that its opponents may by its
effects be agreeably and probably disap-
pointed.
A word upon another subject. Some
thing said by the Scc'y OF State in his
recent speech at Auburn, n Y. j, has boen
construed by some into that if l shall be
beaten at the election. l will, between
then and the end of my constitutional
term, do what | may be able to. to ruin
the Government. Others regard the fact
that the Chicago Convention adjourned
not sine die, but to meet again it called
to do so by particular individual, as the
intimation of purpose-that if the
nominee be elected, he will at once seize
control Of the Government. l hope the
good people will permit themselves to
suffer no uneasiness on either poirt. l
am struggling to maintain the Govern
ulent, not to overthrow 1t.
| therefore say that if | shall remain
President until the 4th Of next March,
and that whoever shall be constitutioaaly
elected therefor in November, shall be
duly installed as President ON the 4th of
March, and that 10 the interval l shall do
my utmost that whoever is to hold the
helm for the next voyage shall start with
the best possible chance to save the ship.
This is due to the people, both on princi
pie aud under the constitution. Their
will constitat;onally expressed is the ulti-
mate law for all. If they should delib-
erately resolve to have immediate peace
even at the loss of their country and their
liberties, know not the power or the
right to resist them. 1t is their own
business and they must do as they please
with their own.
believe, however, that they are still
resolved to preserve their country and
their liberty, and il this, in Office or out
OF it, am resolved to stand by them. |
may add that IL this purpose to save the
country and its liberties. re classes OF
people seem SO uearl y unanimous as the
soldiers in the field and the seaman aaoat.
Do they not have the hardest Of it =
Who should quail when they do not ?
God bless the seamen and soldiers, and
all their brave commanders -

On Friday evening last, about tee o'clock, |
another terrible catastrophe, in addition to |
the large number which have already oc- |
CURED on Lake Eric during the present
season of navigation, transpired at the
mouth OF our harbor, resulting in the en-
tire destruction of the tug Winslow, Cap
tain Ottinger, owned by the Messrs. Wins
low, of this city, and recently chartered
for Government purposes.
The WinsIow arrived here day or two
ago, on her first cruise, since being fitted up
as a Government vessel. She left on Fri
day afternoon, for a cruise down the lake
The wind at that time was blowing fresh
from the northwest. When about twelve
miles below this port, the gale increased TO
to such violence that Captain 0ttin-
ger decided to return. He accord
ingly put the tug about and re-
turned. In coming in, it struck on the
bar and stuck, pounding heavily. On back
ing off it was found that the shoe on the
after part of the keel had been so bent up
thatit interfered with the propeller wheel
/ rendering the machinery useless. Thus, at
the mercy of wind and wave, the boat
was driven between the railroad piers ard
upon the breakwater extending from the
Pittsburgh coal pier to Wheeler and Rus
sells Dining Hall, on which she was thrown
broad-side with great force, knocking hole
in her side, into which the water washed
with great rapidity. All on 'ard succeed
cd. however, in escaping to the spiles.
This happened between nine and ten o.
clock.
Here most of the men remained for near
IL two hours, the water running entirely
over the breakwster, and drenching them
with each wave. Four men were washed
off the spiles and drowned. Their names
are. John Kelley, Quartermaster; John
Fox, Coxswain; Timothy Lyons, sailor
Charles Washington, boy. Some of the
crew succeeded in reaching the piers in
safety, and notified those whom they met OF
the imminent peril of their comrades. On
hearing of it, Captain Mckay of the City Of
Cleveland, dragged one of his boats from
his steamer across the pier, launched it into
the water, and, with the aid of his mate,
George Mckay, and two wheelmen, sue
ceeded in reaching the men and taking
them off, at the imminent peril of their own
lives. This heroic act should be apprecia-
ted by our citizens, and we hope that some
testimonial may be presented to these brave
men.
Thomas Hayes, First of;cer, deserves
great credit for his efforts to save the men
and get them off the spiles. He saved the
life of Frank Ward, one of the boys.
Lyon, who was drowned, leaves a wife and
three children in Buffalo.
The Winslow was built in 1862, and was
one of the strongest tugs on the lakes. Her
burthen was 26O tons. She was chartered
in September, as a Government revenue
cutter, and equipped in Buffalo. She car
ried crew of twenty-seven, men and Off
GERS. Her armament consisted of one ten
pound rifed gun. She was estimated as
worth s20, 900, and was, we are informed,
insured for her .ull value. Her engine and
machinery will be saved in a Damaged
condition.

Men Ofdhe City
We are glad to note that there appears
toEbe general disposition on the part of
our merchants and bus ness men, to close
their places of business tomorrow and give
the whole of the day to labor for the Union
cause. In this way full vote will be
cast, and the Union party will gain thous-
ands of votes. 1t was owing to the general
action of the Unionists of this city in this
direction, last fall, that Brough carriedIthis
city with such an overwhelming majority.
We are therefore glad to record that the
Board of Trade on Saturday morning voted
to adjourn over from Monday till Wednes-
day morning, thereby enabling its mem
bers to devote the day to labor at the POLLS.
The following agreement has been cir
culated among our merchants, who have
almost unanimously agreed to it. 1t has
been impossible, in the limited time during
which this agreement has been in cireula-
tion, to see all our merchants, and we
would request all who have not been called
on to join with those whose names are
affixed to this agreement, in closing their
stores:
We, the undersigned merchants and
business men of the City of Cleveland, here
by agree to close our places of business on
the days of the coming State election, Tues
