Ing three or four days at Greensboro, hU left
for Charlotte, where he proceeded to locate
his capital, open up government offices, con-
fer promotions, appoint Generals, SC, No.
thing could exceed his infstuation. He vast
ed time which, for his escape, was invalua-
BILE, Ia keeping up the forms Of q government
which h I'd no existence. The train of govern
ment and bank specie had already started for
the South. OF his own safety Mr.. Davis seem
ed to take little thought. He fancied himself
at the head OF powerful people, able 10
marshal armies and offer battle to the North.
He did not realize that his fortunes were des-
perate.
In the midst of all this delasion came the
intelligence that the negotiations were at an
end; and then Mr.. Davis and his Cabinet set
out for Georgia. Their subsequent move
ments and rate of progress are probably not
known in Richmond. Upon the great mass
of the Southerners the crash of their Con-
federacy has fallen as suddenly and unex-
pectedly as an avalanche. They were conf
dent the struggle would last az other year,
and many hoped for final success. 1t is hard
TO realize the infatuation OF the Confederate
Administration. Confederate paper was
not worth two cents to the dollar, and was
kept up to this figure solely by the sale of
government specie-w hich Mr.. Trenholm
put in the market at sixty for one. The
Confederate armies had wasted away by
losses and struggling. Joe Johnston had
some %, 900 men, Lee $4,000, aud in all
there were not Is many as 100, 900 men in
arms east OF the Mississippi river. Kirby
Smith and Magruder might, perhaps,
have together p, 900 men in all. These
troops were tolcrably clothed, but
the equipment of the army was inferior.
The horses OF the cavalry and artillery were
inferior, and the former were so greatly re-
duced in numbers that they were utterly in
sufficient TO protect the Confederate com
munications. How Mr.. Davis could shut his
eyes TO all this, is perfectly marvellous but
he did, and when people spoke to him Of
negotiation, be doubled and arraigDed their
patriotism. General Lee had, beyond all,
The most gloomy forebodings. Al early as
the 9th of March, he wrote letter TO Mr..
Davis, stating that he could neither hold his
lines nor withdraw his army with the small
number of troops at his command. And yet
il is said that in a speech at Charlotte, Mr..
Davis spoke OF his inability 10 understand
why force of ~, 900 men should surrender.
Judge Campbell constantly pressed upon the
attention OF the government the fac. that
the war could not be carried on, in the vain
hope that, unable to dispute the statement,
they would draw the necessary inference,
and consent to negotiations upon the basis
OF reconstruction. But he counted without
his host.
