on the Elizabethtown and Paducah

The Mt. Carmel people seem to be

other railroads in contemplation

our people that the originatorsq of
that movement are sufficiently in
earnest to need watching. The early
completion of the E.. H. & N. Road
would, Of course, checkmate that en-
terprise, because the people ON the

JEFF. Davis.

| L uC IIVI0CA OSt, Win the sdSdCl-
| ty that usually characterizes English
newspapers when they discuss Ameri-
can affairs, eulogizes and congratu-
lates JEFF. DAVIS upon his release
from confinement. OF course, the
Copperhead papers of this country
copy the eulogy with manifest salts
faction and pleasure.
The Post is of the opinion that Mr..
DAVIS takes the highest rank among
American statesmen. 1t gives reasons
for the opinion which show that it is
ignorant of the history of this country,
both before, during, and since the
war. 1t says that Mr.. DAVIS mani
tested rare ability in outstanding
the resources of the infant republic,
at whose head he was placed" 1t is
well known that Mr.. DAVIS was most
noted for the infexibility with which
he compelled his subjects to furnish
the sinews of war, and not for either
skill or care in using those
resources. He took men and money
for the use of the Confederacy when
ever and wherever he could find
them, and there is no evidence that
he used either with the skill that
might have been displayed. Making
of the Confederacy, atthe very outset,
military despotism-levying tribute,
conscripting men, and confscating
property-he secured an amount of
material aid for the prosecution Of
his unlawful designs, beyond what
many supposed his section of the
country was capable of producing.
But that he husbanded his resources,
or used them with unusual skill, has
never been alleged by those who are
most familiar with the prominent
events of the great rebellion.
But there is another paragraph of
the Posts article which we are dis
posed to give precisely as we find it. In
speaking further of DAVIS. it says ~
Il He had the rare good fortune to be
served in the field by men who, though
for the most part devoid of military edu-
cation, proved themselves 'consummate
Generals; but, independently of this, he
was endowed with too much sagacity to in
'terfere with their plans, even when they
did not meet. with his concurrence, and
did not eo1aaT4it the blunaer INTO w11ich
Mr.. Lincoln so frequently fell, of con-
founding failarewith ineonnpetency. There
was no Aulic Council in Richmond. The
PRESIDENT and the people believed in their
Generals, and the latter had confidence in
themselves and in the armies which they
commanded. In his dealings with the
Federal Government Mr. Davis was al \
ways dignified, and, Notwithstanding the
many provocations offered by the conduct
of several of the Northern Generals, he
never countenanced or tolerated any de-
parture from the strict rules of civilized
warfare. t-A't 8 y 1tAEtA !
1t is now well understood by those
familiar with American politics that
JEFFERSON DAVIS, when he was Secg
'fetary of War, did all he could to i'm

army with the heresy of State Rights.
1t is known, further, that he made
systematic efforts to proselyte officers
from the Northern States, and attach
them to his person by comforting upon
