If we had personally en,, rtaned any doubts Of the
value placed upon President Davis by the people oil
the Coned=racy, we would have had ttese doubts dis
PEELED by noticing the deep feeling created here this
week by strange and somewhat vague rumor of bis
death.
We do not speak of President avis popularity, for
doubt if any gentleman OF his grave. firm, command
ing cbs and toni of mind s calculated to be what
is known cs popul.r" He will be apt to secure q
much larger measure OF 'epset than of popularity PEG
pie will probably value bin than they will love
him. but that people do value him-that his death
would be looked upon great public losa-a nation
: al calamty-w3 cannot entertain the slightest doubt
or if had previously done 20, could not any longer
retain it after what have heard aDd this week
Tie times, of coutse, trying. They call for sacTi-
fees much greater than most of people could have
ant;cp5 lei, and naturally contest in which such
ri6ces become Necessary can hardly be popular Prin
cipe ard honor Can alone sustain people,
them 70 sustain their chosen leaders.

i, in Our humble way, we have ever been able to
command Any portion of public confidence, we think
that this has been due quite much to our perfect in
genuousness in expressing opinion almost any
cause whatsoever. We do not mean that we have felt
it our duty to sly ell we may have thought, but We
have felt it duty 70 say nothing that We have not
thought.
Naturally, people who have read tie Journal tor
long years. have right to ask views about the
present position OF affairs. That, ne think is nu-
tual confidence between Us and readers, which
have no right to deny or suppress.
1t certainly would do nc manner OF good Tor US to
say that things working to perfect satisfaction
when our own juagmen tells that they are not SO
working. The position OF things is rather gloomy than
otherwise bat it is far from beiug desperate We GRE
bound to get through if We only determined to go
through, As we sa id once before cur GAUGE cannot
fall it cannot be lost-unless it is obadoned, and
do trust that it will not be abandoned.

The News from Savannah.

AS far learn, all remains quiet il and

Republican Of Friday morning. 1t says: We have
notbi to report from the front. All continued
quiet yesterday scarcely gun fred during the

dent No complaint is made of eny scarcity of pro-
visions in the city but notice ia given in the local
column that the Habershar1 Mills will supply The peo-
pie with rice -four at 81 per bushel.
We learn that Colonel Young, with about 900 men
went Oh Friday to Argyle Island, where the enemy
800 strong, had possession of two rice mills at one OF

hurt. Next morning, however, the enemy On Argyle
