The situation Of thisunhappy man is now such
as would excite pity, il it were possible to think
OF him without remembering the unspeakable
woes which his ambition has brought upon his
country. He was not only, the head OF the Confed-
crate Government, but prime mover Of the con-
spiracy which plunged the people OF the South
into q causless war before time ,0ds giuen them TO
deliberate on the course most conyormaJle to their
interests and a large portion OF them protested
against secession. Gen. Lee has excused him on
the ground that he yielded to the solicitation of
others. But his speech in the Senate Of the Uni
ted States on the 2lst Of January, 1861, would
suffice to refute this statement five had not album
dant evidence to the contrary from other sources.
And not only did be plan this war, but on him
rests the chief responsibility of continuing IL
for months and gears after he hopes Of success had
PASSED away. From what Lee and Johnson and
Hardee have stated since the fall of the Conteder-
acy it is now clear that Mr.. Davis prolonged the
war after his best Generals had urged him TO
make peace. If he were answerable for nothing
worse than the great sacrifice OF life caused by
the rejection OF Mr.. Lincoln proposals at Hamp-
ton Roads, the weight Of sach a load Of responsi-
5Ity might sOel break do~n The stoutest heart. =
lis language and acts during the nine months
preceding his fight from Richmond sufficiently
disclosed the ruin Of his hopes. Until then a
habit Of self restraint had concealed to great
extent his real character. ,;,,.s.i, - b3,aei.I
But from the time he visited Georgia, after the
fall of Atlanta and called Gov. Brown scoun-
drel in public speech, down TO the address Of
March last, in which he referred to Grant and
Sherman as spaniels tehom he would sohip, the
coarseness of the mans nature has been apparent.
1t was about the time Of the reckless Macon
speech that he began to authorize those atrocious
outrages which have made it less difficult to be-
lieye 10 his completely with the plot which result

A Word for Our Soldiers.

There is abundant food for thought and
for hearty national congratulation at the
disbanding and return Of Che great armies

the readiness with which the loyal millions
laid down the hammer and the spade, the
yard stick and the pen, and rallied IN arm

less grand, no less subject for wonder, to
see the gallant armies Of the Republic re-
turn to their homes, resume their former
occupations, and conduct campaign in
the interests of Peace. as gallant. and us
honorable as their late campaign In the in
terests of war, Upon. Government and
People alike these men have the first claim.
They have saved the Republic, and God
forbid that the Republic should forget
them. when their heroic virtues are no
longer needed ii the ield.9 For,four long
and ventful years they have endured al

as great demoralizer, uniting the soldier

were subscribed and paid form single
week The printing presses have finally
surrounded the difficulty and on Wednes.
day, June eth, the deliveries of the Third
Series commenced, and will be continued
with the same promptness that marked the
supply of the notes Of the FIRST and second
series. It has been this interruption OF de-
livery at the time of subscription who 3
has given. an appearance of q falling of il

body Of small takers being unwilling to
pay their money unless they receive thsir
notes right in hand, to carry them home. =
1t is expected after this week the daily sub
scriptions to the Seven iThirties will run up
into millions, as they will undoubtedly be
stimulated by the opening Of the farmers

With the close Of the war the national
expenses will be vastly reduced, and iny e
tors mist look for a sharp reduction IN the
rate of interest as soon as the present loans
become due and can be paid OF. There
is no reason why the United States credit
for money should ever again fall below its

preserves the geographical integrity of the

Duval, in command of the United States forces
about Staunton, has issued an order in regard e
the liberated slaves in that section, prescribing
certain rules and regulations for their conductin

He says the slaves may remain with their for

agree on the terms, in which case each party
is equally bound by the contract. He admonisli-
es the negroes and tellsthem that they must learn

for their support now, the same as before they
were free, in some instances perhaps even har-
der - the only difference between then and now
being that they have the wages of their labor 10
themselves. He advises that all negroes yet with
their former masters remain with them, attending
to their work as usual, andenter into some con-
tract agreeing on the. terms Of compensation, to
be paid after the reaping df the coming harvest,

u The public may be surprised to learn that the
number of letters which are now being received
at the Dead Letter Office sent there under the
new law which makes prepayment of postage
compulsory, amounts to more than $4,000 per
week. These figures denote great carelessnesS,
or}ignorance Of the law ON the part OF the sen
ders of these letters The public should remem-
Der that the old law allowing letters not prepaid
to be sent forward according to the address, and
double postage collected of the receiver, has been
r pealed, and that now every letter not entitled
to be carried through the mails free must have
stamp on it, or it is sent to the Dead Letter Once
Especial care should be taken by every person to
observe, at the time Of depositing letter in the
postofice, that the postage stamp Is firmly fixed
upon it. Such attention and scrutiny. would
soon reduce the number of letters held for post
