the true policy, both of nations and indlc
viduals. "There is that maketh himself
rich, yet hath nothing; there is that
maketh himself poor, yet hath great
riches" While my people are held as
conquered subjects, they must be to you
q continued source of expense and dam
ger-a country pinned together with

STONEwALL JACKSON.
Of Stonewall Jackson, Mr.. Davis spoke
with the utmost tenderness and some
touch of reverential feeling, bearing wit
ness to his earnest and pathetic piety, his
singleness of aim, his immense energy as
an executive officer, and the loyalty OF
his nature, making obedience the first of
all duties. Gle rose every morning at
three" said Mr.. Davis, performed his
devotions for half an hour, and then went
booming along at the mead of his COM
mand, Which came to be called 'Jacksons
foot cavalry" from The velocity of their
movements. Hc had the faculty, or rather
gift, of exciting and holding the love and
confidence of his men to an unbounded
degree, even though the character Of his
campaigning imposed on them more hard
ships than any other troops in the ser
vice. Good soldiers care not for their in
dividual sacrifices when adequate results
can be shown; and these General Jack
son never lacked. Hard fighting, hard
marching, hard fare, the strictest discipline
all these men will bear if visibly ap-
preaching the goal of their hopes They
want to get done with the war, back to
their homes and familics and their in
stinct soon teaches them which COM
mander is pursuing the right means to
accomplish these results. Jackson was
singularly ungainly man Oh horseback,
and had many peculiarities of temper,
amounting to violent idiosyncrasies; but
everything in his nature, though here
and there uncouth, was noble. Even in
the heat of action, when most exposed,
he might be seen throwing up his hands
in prayer For glory he lived long
enough" continued Mr.. Davis with much
emotion, "and.i if this result had to come,
it was the Divine mercy that removed
him. He fell like the eagle, his own
feather on the shaft that was dripping
with his blood In his death the Confed-
eracy lost an eye and an arm, onr only
consolation being that the final summons
could not have reached the soldier more
prepared to accept titjoyfuly, jackson was
not of sanguine turn, always privately
anticipating the worst, that the better
might bc more welcome"
SECESSION NOT TREASON.
Mr. Davis said it was contrary to rea-
son and the law OF nations to treat as a
rebellion or lawless riot movement
which had been the deliberate action Of
an entire people through their duly or.
ganizcd State Government. TO talk OF
treason in the case of tho South was to
oppose an arbitrary cpithet against the
authority of all writer's on international
law. Tattel deduces from his study of
all former precedent-and all subsequent
international jursts have agreed with
him-tlat when nation separates into
two parts, each claiming independence,
and both or either setting up new gov
ernment, their quarrelS should it come to
trial by arms or by diplomacy, shall be
regarded and settled precisely as though
it were difference between two separate
nations, which the divided sections, de
facto, have become. Each must observe
the laws of war in the treatment of cap
tivcs taken in battle, andsssuch ncgotia-
tons as may from time to time arise
shall be conducted as between indepen-
dent and sovereign Powers. Mere riots,
or conspiracics for lawless objects, in
which only limited fractions of a people
are irregularly engaged, may be properly
treated as treason, and punished as the
public good may require, but Edmund
Burke had exhausted argument on the
subject, in the memorable phrase, applied
to the first American movement for inde-
pendence: "Lknow not how an indict-
ment against a whole people shall be
framed"
