We received recently copy of the Mexican
Times of January 20th, published in the city of
Mexico, by Gov. Allen, of Louisiana. In tive find
d communication from Gen. ,Jubal Early, intro
ductory to his letter written from Havana to the n
\. News and which we published some time since
From the communication of Gen. Earl Y we extract
the following noble defense of Mr.. Davis, which
VIII doubtless be read with pleasure by every true
SOUtherner:
- In the overwhelming odds in men and resour-
which the United States had against us, are to
be found sufficient reasons for the failure of our
cause, without looking for others and man.
with proper sense of prOprietv, can read, with
out feelings of UnmitGated disgust, the abuse
which few writers IN the Southern State, who
contributed nothing to the success of the cause
themselves have attempted to heap on President
Davis
A feeling Of seIf-respect, if nothing else should
restrain every Southern man from uttering aught
Of reproach against our leader, under his present
mIstortuncs, and the generous everywhere can but
respect the prisoner Of Fortress Monroe.
- In a ride from the State of Virginia through
the States of North Carolina, South Carolina
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and
IeXas, | did not find good man good woman
Who did not nNpress the deepest sympathy and
profoundest respect for Mr.. Davis and it may be
assumed as certain, that wherever any pretended
confederate, at home or abroad, is found denounc-
ing mm that man has either done nothing for the
cause himself, or has been positive injury to it.
President Davis, during the long and severe
9'i"0S!tO lIc HIiSt1lhed ny the energy anu
integrity OF his character, may have committed
errors OF judgment as to men and measures-nO to
have done so would have required him to be more
than human-but when the history of that strug-
lie is fairly and truly written, all men will be com
iled to yield him credit for the purest and loft-
st patriotism.
. At present he is suffering Obloquv and impris-
pnment for the cause of his cOuntrymen and he
IS entitled to receive the sympathies of all the
GOOD and true among them.

MY LAMBS,

loved them so,
That when the Elder Shepherd of the fold
Came over with the storm, and pale and cold
And begged for one of my sweet lambs to hold,
badc him go.
He claimed the pet
little tondllng thing that to my breast
CHING always, either IN quiet unrest;
thought of all my lambs loved him best,
And yet-and yet
laid him down
In those white shrOuded arms with bitter tears
For some voice told me that in after years,
He should know naught of passion, grief or fears,
As had known
And yet again
The Elder Shepherd came. My heart grew faint;
He claimed another lamb, with sadder plant,
Another. She who, gentle a saint
Neer gave me pain
Ashast I turned away.
There sat she, lovely as an angels dream,
Her golden locks with sunlight all agleam,
Her holy eyes with heaven in their beam;
kneIt to pray.
''Is it Thy will?
{ ybo Fher her say must @ tf ape pet Lamb ami be be ySn
And soft voice said, Nobly hast thou strivcn,
But-peace, be still"
how | wcpt,
And clasped her to my bosom with wild
And ycarling lovc-mv lamb-my pleasant child,
Her. too, gave. The little angel smiled,
And slept
Go. 90" | cried:
For once again that Shepherd laid his hand
Upon the noblcst Of our household band;
Like pale spectre there he took his stand
Close to his side.
And vet how wondrous sweet
Tho look with which he heard my passionate cry.
- Touch not my lamb; for him 0 let me die -
g \ little while, lie said with smile and sigh;
Again to meet.
Hopeless fell;
And when Irosc the light had burned so low,
So FAINT, could not see my darling 60;
He had not hidden me farewell, but @,
felt farewell.
More deeply far,
Than # my arms had colnpassed that slight frame,
Tho could but have heard him call my name
Dear mother! " but in heaven twill be the same,
There burns my STAR
He will not take
Another lamb thought, for only
OF the dear fold is spared to be my sum-
Ny guide, my mourntr when tins life Is done;
My heart would break.
O with what thrill
/ heard him enter! but did not know
For it dark that he had robbed me 50.
The idol UI my suul-hc could not go
O, heart, be still.
How this poor frame its sorrowful tenant kept:
For waking tears We're mine; |, sleeping wept
And days, months, years, that weary vigil kept.
Alas Farewell
How often it is said
! sit and think, and wonder, too, some time,
How it viii seem, when. in the happier cline,
1t never will ring out like funeral chime
Over the dead.
Ne tears 40 tears
VIII there day come that [ shall not weep?
For bcdew my pillow i'll my sleep.
Yes, yes thank G"d no grief that cline shall keep,
In weary yeas.
Az it is well,
Well with my liInbs, well with their earthly guide;
There pleasant rivers wander they beside,
Or strike sweet harps upon their silver tide
Az, it is well.
Through all the dreary day
They often come from glorious light to me.
| cannot feel their touch, their faces see,
lct my soul whispers, they do come to me

Soft cambric and flannel lie-pounds seventeen;
'Tis the throne of tyrant, that pink little thing

Or walk, lest the sleeper should hear his boot crcak
Grandma Is a martyr i'll habit, and cap
Which the monarch msettlc7, as we'll as her nap.
Papa-wis, and lnghty-just home from the house,
Grows meek the threshold and moves like a mouse
To stare at the bundle, then outward he goes,
Like an elephant trying to wall, on its toes.
The queen ut the ballroom throws Loyalty down
Before him the roses she in her crown,
And sings little love-sonGS of who she loves best
Hs cries when she stops like 4 mcrcilcss elf.
He tlin@s right and left his saucy fat fist,
And then, the next moment, expects to be kissed
He demands peoples watches to batter about,
And meets a refusal with struggle and shout
Then, failing to conquer with passionate cry,
He quvCrs his lip, keeps tear in his eye;
And so wins The attle-ths wise little thing!
He knows the world over, that Baby is King.
