God in History.

That God rules in the affairs Of man is as
certain as any truth of physical science On
the great moving power which is from the
beginning, hangs the world of the senses and
world of thought or action Eternal wisdom
marshals the great procession of the nations,
working in patient continuity through tho
ages, never halting and never abrupt, cncom-
passing all events in its oversight, and ever
effecting its will, though mortals may slumber
in apathy or oppose with madness Kings
are lifted up or thrown down, nations come
and go, republics flourish and wither, dynas-
ties pass away like tale that is told, but
nothing is by chance, though men in their
Ignorance of causes may think so. The
deeds of time are governed, as well as judged,
by the degrees of eternity. The caprice of
heeting exi5tences bends to the inmovnbl1
omnipOtence which plants its foot on all the
centuries and has neither the change Of
purpose nor repose. Sometimes, like a mes
senger through the thick darkness of night,
it steps along mysterious ways; but when the
pass into new form of being, unseen hands
draw the bolts from the gates Of futurity !;
and all subduing influence prepares the minds
OF men for the coming revolution; those who
plan resistance find themselves in conflict
with the will of Providence rather than with
human devices; and all hearts and all un-
derstandings, most of all the opinions and
influences of the unwilling; are wonderfully
attracted and compelled to bear forward the
change which becomes more an obedience to
the law or universal nature than submission
to the arbitrament of man.

Correspondence of the Louisville Journnl.I
An Incident at the Battle Of Shiloh,

PINE BLUFFS, ARK, March Is, 1866
To the Editors Of tie Louisville Journal:
Allow me through the columns of your pSAL7
per to give the, public a1ittle incident of one
of Kentucky's distinguished military leaders.
who, unfortunately for his regulations sake,
espOused the weaker cause in the late war
L allude to General Albert Sidney Johnston.
Y ou are doubtless aware of the fact that the
Tennessee Representatives in the Confederate
Congress were SO dissatisfied at General John
ston's retreat from Bowling Green across the
Tennessee river, they petitioned Mr.. Davis to
remove him from the command of the army.
have heard good many people express it
as their opinion that this circumstance so
mortified his pride and compromised his rep
utation. that he, actuated by spirit of reck-
lessness and desperation, determined at the
battle OF Shiloh, or Pittsburgh Landing, to
throw away his life. That the opinion is er-
roneous, is clearly proved, think, by the
following circumstance: On that memorable
day G6th of April, 1862 1 was on duty with
the 9th Arkansas Infantry, as Assistant Sur
geOD. About eleven o'clock in the morning.
as we'll as I remember, member Of nv reg
iment came running along in the rear of the
line with his left hand shot off The man
was much excited and fatigued from loss of
blood. He said to me; doctor, our men are
falling back and want to get away from
here" AT this moment the General with a
part of his staff and escort came riding by in
slow walk, and, though shot and she'll were
flying through the air as thick as hail, he
looked as calm and sell. possessed as if he had
been sitting in his tent looking over official
papers. have seen many battlefelds and
many Generals on them, but [ never did see
any one look SO much like General as he
did at that moment. As he was passing my
wounded man called out: 'sMen, please let
me ride behind one of you" No one paid
any attention to him. He repeated his cry
in louder and more plaintive tone, when the
General suddenly reined up his horse and
turned, bgt, seeing that I had taken the
wounded ihan in hand, he said, "Ah, never
mind, there is Surgeon with him" and rode
quietly away. This is an example of humane
feeling seldom witnessed upon the battlefield,
especially from the commander of an army
at such a critical time This was about two
hours before his death IF he had been reck-
less, would he have needed the CRY Of pri,
vate soldier think not.

Forney's Opinion of Jefferson Davis in
1861. g.sI -


E In September, 1861, some weeks otter the
battle of Bull Run, it was reported that JEFF
ferson Davis had died in. Richmond, and Mr..
Forney Cd. d., who professed to have known
him long and well, wrote the following obit-
.uary notice of him, which appeared in The
Press
The intelligence of the death of Jefferson
Davis seems to be confirmed. When Stephen
A. Douglas was called away, fendish ex-
sion papers. The maligDity with which thew
punished his independence survived his death
and rioted over his grave. Let us set bet
ter example, now that the great leader of Sc
cessiUn tyranny has been summoned before
the eternal bar. He was an imperious and
positive public man. He rarely surrendered
an opinion once formed until he degraded
himself by throwing behind him his volunta
ry professions in favor of the Union He
was close student, a chivalric opponent. a
steadfast friend, gentleman in ali his rela
tions, and in his own family singularly kind
and genial
Although undoubtedly the head and heart
of the Southern Rebellion, he went into it
reluctantly, as all who heard his last speech
in the Senate will remember, when with bro
Ken dccenIS anu tearIul eyes he bid farewell
at once to that body and to all his real great
ness. Jefferson Davis was blessed with many
accomplishments. He was alike soldier and
a statesman. No public man of my acquain-
tance was more devoted to scientific pursuits.
and more familiar with the abstruse TEACHINGS
of political philosophy. No branch of hu
man knowledge seemed to be unworthy Of his
investigation. II
He was equally attentive to classical litera-
ture, to the details of military life, to the doc
trines of political parties, to the study Of, men:
and if Professor Bache, of the Coast Survey,
could speak, he would say of the fac work,
of which he is the accomplished head, and
which has latter}y proved its unconquerable
usefulness, that Jefferson Davis was as con-
versant with the smallest minnt@ Of that no
BILE institution as any other man not directly
connected with it. lie was passionately de-
voted to the Smithsonian Institution, of
which he was a regent in former times. g..
He devoted himself to the decoration of
this capital, aud stood BY Captain Cnow Cen
eral) Meigs in all his efforts to construct the
water works, to finish the Capitol building on
the grandest scale, and to push forward the
extensions Of the Interior and Treasury De-
partments. He was undoubtedly a great Sec
retary of War, and in this high 0fficc nothing
so much delighted him as to take youngmen
by the hand, and when worthy, to advance
them. If he educated BeauiT gard to destroy
the RCpublic he conferred many ADVANTAGES
upon Mcclellan to save IT, If he assisted
Lee and Johnston, and thus Strengthened
their hands for injury against the flag, he
greatly favored Meigs, to uphold it.
