e. NJ. STANTON AND JEFF. DAVIS
A stray scrap Of Hist0ry.-Permit
me to describe one of The early scenes
in the grand drama, the last act OF
which has not yet been Played. 1t
was during the session OF Congress,
the winter prece ing the Charleston
Convention, tl a grave Senator occu-
pied the ;,ttegtion of the Senate on
the state Of the Nation. His solemni-
ty Of manner, his simplicity Of style,
his extreme views on the subject Of
State rights, all proved the sincerity
Of the speaker, and recalled to memo
ry the figure, voice and sentiments Of
the dead Calhoun. The voice seemed
more like the emanation of a spirit
than the uttered convictions of the man
who was destined to be the leader of
the great rebellion. A sort Of awe
spread over the Senate Chamber, and
even Wade, and Sumner, and Chand-
lsr listened with an attention akin to
respect. Among the auditory there
was one who seemed more than the
rest absorbed in the scene before him.
The Senate adjourned, and Stanton
FASTENED from the Senate Chamber to
one of the great hotels at Washington
and asked to be shown to the room
of the venerable Governor Medary,
OF Ohio. Scarcely bad he entered,
when with a voice full Of passionate
energy, be excIsimed--"Medary I
have just heard Davis, and by all the
gods, be is the greatest Of living
statesman The South is right, and
Davis must be the nominee of the
Charleston Convention; and to secure
that end, you must come at once to
Washington and take charge of the
Government organ"
Gov. Medary, suggested that there
were crtain reasons why such an ar
rangement might not be acceptable to
Mr.. Buchanan, when Mr.. Stanton re-
piled
4 will look to that; will be res
ponsibIe for that! | will 60 at once to
theI White House, and in two hours
from now | will see you again"
Medary waited, Stanton returned
but for reasons unnecessary here to
narrate, the scheme failed. This was
the opening scene which preceded the
rebellion, aud Edwin NJ. Stanton, play
ed The chief role as the advocate of
Southern rights and the especial friend
Of Jefferson Davis Washiatoa Let

SOUTHERN LEADERs.-The result OIL
the war has had one effect which
ought not to be overlooked. It has
| laid upon the shelf great number Of
Southern political leaders who former.
" exercised most potent influence in
shaping the policy of the Government.
Many of these were bad men. Per-
sons like HUNTER, TooMBs, Mason,
SLIDELL, G. G. Clay, RHErT, CoBB,
Thomson, WIGFALL, and hundreds OF
kindred nature but Of lesser note, can
never expect hereafter to exert in this
country the powers of mischief they
possess, and which they SO zealously
used in the incipiency of the rebellion.
They told the Southern people that
the establishment of new Govern
ment would be easy that cotton was
King that all the nations of the earth
would be their allies that the Demo
cratic party of the North would stand
by them; that the Washington Adj
ministration would not attempt to pre-
vent the disruption of the Union by
force Of arms; that, in short, the South
was unconquerable. The people of
that section, who had been accustom-
ed to putting faith in the leadership of
these men, received their counsels on
the subject of secession with hesitation
if not with positive distrust but the
sway of passion in those days seemed
resistless, land the war came.n Desc
lafion has been carried to numberless
homes in the "seceded" States, scores
Of thousands of lives have been lost
and millions of money expended,
through the wickedness Of the pro-
motors of the revolt. 1t is impossible
that the sacrifice and suffering shall
be forgotten during the lifetime Of
these dangerous counsellors. The
masses Of the South, learning wisdom
by experience, will be cautious where
they place their confidence hereafter.
Already new leaders are springing mp.
and if they are not ADLER men or bet
ter versed 10 the science OF Govern
mebt than the old ones, they are gen.
orally more conservative and less apt
to take up with reckless and ruinous
schemes Statesmen statesmen in
the true meaning OF the term-will in
due time appear on the political stage
in the South as of old, and take their
part in guiding our country to its glo-
rious destiny.-&. Louis (Mo) Re-
publican.

Respectfully forwarded
From this report it appears that Lieut.
Col. Harnden faithfully performed hissduty
and no blame can attach to HIM in rela
ton TO the unfortunate collision between
his detachment and Lieut.. Col. Pritehard's,
which he had every reason to believe re-
NAMED at Abbeyville. 1t is, however, a
source OF painful regret that the satisfac-
ton experienced in this contamination is
clquded by the knowledge that an act Of
unsoldiery selishness in appropriating by
deception the fruits Of another's labor, and
thus attaining unearned success, resulted
in unnecessary bloodshed, and sacrifice
Of lives for which no atonement can be
made. What may have been intended
merely as an act Of bad faith towards q
tellow-soldier resulted in crime, and for
this closing scene Of the rebellion, inglori-
Gus in itself, but historic in circumstances.
1t is difficult to repress wish that acct
dent had afforded the Government rep
resentative above suspicion.
