Ex-PRESIDENT DAVIS.


A contemporary very appropriately re-
marks: That ii impresses feeling of NOR
tifcation for our race, when we see Southern
men--men who entered, in word at least,
into our last struggle for independence--treat
with indifference, or cast sneer upon, the
noble hero who has, for our sakes, pinned for
months past in the dungeons of Fortress
Monroe. We envy not the heart that can
conceive, or the tongue that can utter, such
sentiments. His late enemies may Willy aud
affect to treat him with scorn but in all that
constitutes man, they have not his peer
among all their tribe, and we're he at liber-
ty, there is not one among them that would
brave the matchlers power of his honest
eagle eye. But. after all, it is the tempter Of
the hour. That volatile race is ever ready
to laud as it is to condemn and were JEFF
ferson Davis at liberty and among them, they
would. soon eyince as much crazy zeal in ex-
toling him as a lion, as they now do in de
nouncing him as fend.
The Charleston NeWs very justly says, and
we heartily endorse the judgment, that "his-
tory, if truely written, will record the fact
that when our darkest honr of trial came
when maddened men demanded vengeance
when mangled men and violated women
came to demand retaliation for their wrongs
he stood firm to the last. He never gave
utterance to an unworthy thought w,
knew well the facts of his experience then
and we are honest in the belief that he die
not give authority to the performance of on'
unwarrantable or unbecoming act"
In approving these sentiments, the L;
Grange (Ga.) Reporter appropriately adds
awe care not what the world may say o.
Jefferson Davis; friends may forsake him
and foes may boot at the mention of hi
name, and clamor for his life; jests and jibe'
may be hurled at him, as they have been by
his enemies but when the history of thi
war is written in the sober and earnest word
of truth, Mr.. Davis will be found pure
minded and good man-one who has nevel
swerved from any duty which he conceived
TO be due his country and the people whom
he served. Placed in the position he file,
by the united voice of the Southern people
and that against his own inclination, he en-
deavored to serve them faithfully and hon
estly. Fallen, he may be despised success
full, his name would have been glorious
Fallen or successful, we honor the man an,
deeply sympathise with him in his troubles
When he was in power, We honored him
while he is in prison, we shall not forsak
him.
We are glad to see SO many petitions goinl
to President johnson in behalf of Mr.. Davis
1t is right; it is manly on the part of tn
Southern people to make some efforts in be
half of their late Chief Magistrate 1t
natural that they should do SO. Having re
ceived pardon themselves, it could not b
otherwise expected than that they shoul,
plead in behalf of him whom they placed il
power by united voice, and who is no NOR
| criminal than themselves because he was s
placed in power.

AFFAIRS Is MAuRY CoUNTY.-We take
the following items from the Columbia
Herald -
SrABBISG AFFRAY.-An unfortunate
ARRAY arose on Tuesday night last, between
three brothers-Edmund Dillahunty White,
Fountain E. Pitts White and Pleasant Mel
son White, sons of Esquire James White Of
this place, in which Pitts was stabbed FIVE
times, with asmall dirk by Edmund Judge
who has since made his escape. The wounds,
though severe, are not regarded as danger

GUN AccIDESr.--We regret TO learn that
Branch Martin, youth Of this city, while
hunting few days since, received painful
wound in the face, by the accidental discharge
ofhis gun. He is doing we'll, and we hope
will soon be we'll.
PISTOL AouDESr.-Mrs. Roam was last
Saturday night severely wounded, by the
accidental discharge Of a pistol, inthe hands
Of her son.

SUMMERS ATTACK UPoN GRANT.-As
the New York World says, what General
Lee failed to do, Mr.. Charles Sumner, of
Massachusetts,, has undertaken to accomplish.
The American people, who believe that the
Republic owes something to the soldier who
led our armies to final victory over the re-
bellion, will be edited by the modesty of the
Massachusetts lSenator who the other day
assailed, scrap book in hand, the honor and
verscity of Ulysses S. Grant,
General Grant has seen the South. Mr.
Charles Sumner never has ventured beyond
the line of our national bayonets arrayed for
war. General Grant defeated the gallant
armies which, for four long years, held at
bay the whole power of the Union. Mr..
Charles Summer was ANONYMOUSLY thrashed
with a cane by South Carolina representa-
tive, long since dead and turned to dust.
The hero of hundred fights recommends
that the Southern people be entrusted with
the control of their own affairs The victim
of Mr.. Preston Brooks, writhing still with
an impotent lust for personal vengeance upon
the innocent fellow-citizens Of rash and
hasty man whom God has removed from all
human retribution, shrieks out foul-mouthed
abuse Of the President, and clamGrs for the
practical abolition of the Constitution and
the Union.
Heaven forbid that we should insult the
common sense and the patriotism of the
American people with argument in such a
case as this. Never were the Man and the
Fanatic more sharply brought face to face
than here. Gen. Grant fought to save the
Union and the Constitution. Did the heroic
Americans who fought under Gen. Grant,
and with him, fight to salve the welts and
scars scored upon the broad back of Mr..
Charles Sumner by dead Congressman
from Carolina.

We were heartily rejoiced, night before
last, to meet in this city, an old time friend
and associate in the editorial harness, John
f. Hatcher now Of the Mobile Register and
advertiser. He returns after wanderings
half in length, but equal in experiences to
thOseof Ulysses-with the single exception Of
Calypso. He flies now to his Penelope,
who has been weaving for herselfa web of
patience, and for him one of love. We only
regret that his engagements are such that he
can remain but briefy-and that many of
his hosts of good friends in this city will not
be able to greet him.

A SIGNIFICANT ORDER.

General Terry, the hero of Fort
Fisher, now commanding in Virginia,
has issued a most important order.
The laws of Virginia which applied
20 free colored persons were as he
gays, substantially part of the slave
code. Yet TO those laws all the pcpu-
lstion freed by the emancipation proc
iamatIon were subjected. General
Terry, therefore, says that the law
expires with the reason of the law,
and hencefGrth all people of color
will enjoy exactly the same personal
liberty as all other citizens, and will
be subject to the same restraints and
punishments, and no other Neither
whites ner blacks will be permitted
10 be vagrants, but both whites and
blacks may seek employment where
they will. And as during the sus-
pension of the civil tribunals crimi-
nal justice must be administered by
military courts, the evidence of
colored persons will be received by
such courts in all cases.
This is simple common sense. The
United States Government acknowl-
edges no distinction between white
and colored citizens, and wherever
its authority is paramount no such
distinction can be permitted. If
every provisional Governor of the
late rebel States were like Major
General Terry, the country would be
spared infinite trouble.-R.

A HINT TO ROYS-

. 4 r
Under the heading, IA Good Boy
Wanted, says the Agrieulyuraiist, .
gentleman of. New York advertised
in one of the daily papers. Upon
entering his Office, the next morning,
there stood q crowd of forty or fifty
boys waiting TO see Him. All were
strangers, and Of course it wasrather
difficult to select the best one of the
company. But there were 8 lew
eigns by which it could be decided at
Dnce that many of these lads were
aot wanted, from which our young
friends may take hint. Several of
the bows had uneombed hair and un-
washed hands and faces. If they
could not keep their own persons
neat they would not be likely to do
their work nicely, so those were
passed over without further notice.
One boy looked bright and smart,
but he kept crowding his way to the
front of all others and thrusting him.
self into notice. 1t was readily to
be seen that he was too ''smart," he
would probably prove pert and
,aucy. Then came boy with book
peeping out of his breast pocket-a
cheap trashy novel-he was not wan
ted; his mind would be following the
hero of the wonderful story through
impossible adventures, while his
work suffered. One boy fell to-
quarreling with his neighbor; another
had to be reprimanded for meddling
with articles in the Office; a third
cheEed tobacco; neither of these was
wanted. From tue few remaining
after dismissing the above classes,
the boy was selected who could bring
the. best testimonials of honesty, in
telligence and industry; SO you see
good name is worth much, and
good character will be sure, sooner
Or later, to bring good reputation
and its rewards.

~ We have heard of but two
persons who found fault with Mr..
Breare's patriotic Grafton on the 4th
of July last. One objected to the
use of the term ACopperhead. 1t was
vulgar &c. When we call to mind,
the gusto with which that fellow
used to troll the epithets "woolly"
abolitionists, "miscegenationist' &C.,
his fine sense of propriety may well
be questioned.
For the other it was too much of
sermon. Probably the singing and
prayer that preceded it was too
much on the religious order If the
orator had any doubt about the
propriety of his remarks, these OBJ
jections should satisfy him that it
was@Just the thing "-
