| A Proclamatio6 from JsR. Davis-His
"voioe II sim for War;
JED. Davis has turned up again. He has 10
sued Q proclamation from Dsnville, and his
| "voice h still for war" The reader will find
that proclamation In another part Of thin paper.
It is savage, sanguinary and defiant from first
to last; but It was issued upon the fAlse pre-
sumption that, though he had lost Richmond,
General Lee had escaped with bis army. This
April s, several days before the surrender Of
Lee, and doubtless before any information had
reached Danville Of the accommodating and fatal
disasters Of his awful retreat.
Under this delusivc idea, however, that he
still had Lees army to support him, Davis do
family falls back upon Ne strategy Of Ben
Wood. "The finest army Of the confedsracy,
under its ablest military leader, had been
greatly trammelled, he says, "by the necessity
of keeping constant watch over the approaches
10 the cspitaln and thus II had been "forced
to forego more than one opportunity for
promising entrpriscs" In other words General
Grant had driven this finest army of TIE con-
iederacy" into Richmond, and had turned the
key on It till ready to draw General Lee out
and run him down. But, although Davis
"cannOt conceal the moral and material injury''
10 his cause from tie loss Of his capital, he
agrees with Ben Wood that his armies, "now re-
heved Of the duty Of guarding particular
points, are ffss 10 move from point TO point,
and to strike the enemy in detail, a. nom his
base" just - they struck Shcrmaa, for m
stance, in his marches through Georgia, South
and North Carolina.
Davis, at all events, declares that "virrinis
shall be held and defended" that he VIM
''never abandon to the enemy one foot OF the
soil Of any State Of the confederacy;" but that
II compelled to withdraw temporarily, he .win
return, again and again, till the banaed and
exhausted enemy shall abandon In despair his
endless and impossible task of making slaves
Of people resolved to be free" This wa on
the 5'h of April, at Danville, and We dare cay
that by this time DAVIS, . little more enlight-
eHed. has abandoned Virginia and North and
South Carolina, and Ia perhaps meditating at
Augusta, Ga, upon the safest route, via Texas.
| 10 Mexico.
It's possible, however, that the mad ambition
and the terrible disappointments and misfor-
tunes that have fallen upon this unhappy man
have rendered him utterly reckless in his do
SPAR. II SO, he will probably persist in his
madness till stopped in . violent and ieno-
minious death But we cannot imagine that he
has become no completely deranged. We
rather incline TO think that there Is % method
In hts Misunderstanding of strategy. To
cover up his real desipns, and 10 get safely of
without exciting dangerous suspicious among
his followers till we'll ont OF the way of danger.
In this view Of his declared purposes OF war
10 the death, we sLall not he surprised II We do
not hear directly from him again this side of
the Mississippi river or the island Of Cuba.
Clearly he Is not In the mood TO accept par
don; nor do we think tina, he seeks the uuplea.
