JEFFERSON DAvIS's SPEECH AT LEAMINGToN.-
Mr.. Jefferson Davis made q speech at lie Arlington
on riAiDg to second vote Of thanks to gentle.
man who had lectured on I" buried Jerusalem
before the members of the Local Philosophical
Society. Mr.. Davis made various illusions to the
Holy Land as the cradle, humanity speaking of
civilization as well as OF the Christian religion
Referring to the demolition of the Temple, he OBJ
served that, although all must regret the ruin of
structure so much connected with the history Of
religion, yet we might be consoled by the belief
that II was necessary that the Temple should fall,
in order that the Star of Bethlehem might be seen
of all men. He expressed his qualification at
hearing from the lecturer 1.-THE Rev. DR.. Tristam)
that the Palestine explorations had been inaugu-
rsted under the patronage of Englishwomen, and
executed by Englishmen. Il was becoming a wo-
man. for she the last at the cross and the first
at the sepulchre-to commence the explorations
in confirmation Of the great traths OF Christianity.
And IL was well for EDglIshmen to undertake the
work Of exploration, for their blood IVES mingled
with that Of the Norsemen, with the Saxons, the
teachers Of the harmonious conglomeration of
liberty and law, community and independence,
individuality and self will, and with the trouba-
dour. the knightly soldier, represented in the
Norman. These three elements combined in
Engshmen. led to adventure to love of truth,
and gave the heart TO do Whatever the will might
desire. The divine truths upon which our happi
ness here and hereafter was engrafted had been
more and more established as science had trodden
In the path Of revelation. Such explorations as
those which DIR. Tristan had narrated had reveal
ed things not before fully comprehended, and
shown that, as they progressed, truth would be
more and more established, " for her years are
eternal.n

nth Military District.

The following Is contained in the annual report
of the secretary of war:
This dslsict, composed of the States Of Louisi.
ana and Texas, at the date of the last report was
under theismporary command Of Brevet Major
General Mower. until the arrival of Major General
Hancock, on the 18th Of November last, when
that officer assumed and exercised command until
relieved on the 2sth OF March, 1864, the command
of the fifth military district being devolved, first
upon Breret Major General Reynolds, and subse-
queptly apon Brevet Major General Buchanan.
The Stats OF Louisiana having adopted Constitu-
ton, and been admitted to representation in Con-
gress orders were issued from headq of the
army or the 2sth Of July, 1868, reducing the fifth
military district 10 the State Of Texas, and assign.
ing Brevet Major General J. J. Reynolds to the
command
Gen. Reynolds reports the existence of armed
secret organizations in the State. the objects Of
which seem to be 80 to disarm, rob, and in many
cases murder Union men and negroes, and. as
occasion may offer, murder United States officers
and soldiers" "The murder of negroes is so
common as to render IL impossible to keep an
accursf., account Of them" These organiza-
tions arg evidently countenanced, or at least not
discour .ged. by majority of the white people in
the couiities where the bands are most numerous.
They coulc not otherwise exist" Free speech
and free press, as the terms are generally under.
stood in other States, have never existed in
Texas r.. .-...,-a W. d. ..---r
In consequence Of this state of affairs. Genera II
Reynolds has found it necessary to withdraw
troops from the frontier posts to such an ex-
tent Al ITO impair their efficiency for protection
against INDIANS; but the bold. wholesale murder
ing in he interior Of the State seems at present
to present more urgent demand for troops than
Indian depredstions."
The Department Of Louisiana, consisting of the
States OF Louisiana and Arkansas, was organized
on the 18th Of July, after the admission Of those
States " representation in Congress, and Brevet
Major General l.. II. Rousseau assigned to the
command. Prior to the arrival Of Gen. Rousseau
ct the headquarters, on the 18th day of Septem-
Der, Major General r. G. Buchanan commanded
the department.
The d. les Of the department commander have
been principally to preserve the peace and sus-
tain the state authorities Of the newly organized
State governments of Louisiana and Arkansas
The difficulties experienced in carrying out these
objects, and the means adopted to overcome these
difficulties, are set forth in his report.
