Mr.. Edwin De Leon, tho United States
consul-general at Alexandria, in Egypt
under the administration of Buchanan, and
afterwards connected with the "Confede.
rate Diplomacy Abroad" is writing for
the New York Citizen the "Secret His
tory" Of that service. He publishes the
following letters from Mr.. DAVIS:
WASHINGTON, D. c., January 81, 1860.
Ny DEAR SIR,-I have read your letter
with sincere qualification, and return my
cordial thanks for your kind offer. You
express what would have expected from
you, but what I would have hoped from
few men whom it has been my fortune to
know.
/ have no wishes or prospects which
would justify you in making the proposed
sacrifice; and for every reason object to
your making it. Ny opinions, as you know
them, would be sufficient to defeat any
| effort of my friends to nominate me at
Charleston and should do so, as they
would impair the ability of the Democratic
party to succeed in the next presidential
canvass. Since you left Us there has been
q great advance in public opinion toward
the southern rights creed. We are now
all powerful at the South, but are still in
the minority at the North.
To get as many northern votes as will
insure the success Of our candidate it will
be necessary to recruit largely from the
Conservative ranks; and you will at once
perceive that the banner Of Radical advo-
cate of southern rights would not be sutfi-
GENTLY attractive in that quarter to pro-
duce the result. There will be hazard
Gus controversy in relation to the resolu-
tons declaratory Of the position in relation
to the rights Of shareholders in the United
States Territories. The solution which
will probably be the only possible one will
be to nominate some one who will be re-
cognized in both sections the true expo
nent Of their opinions. EX-PreSident
Pierce would probably. best fulfil the con-
ditions. Mr.. Dallas might do. A south
ern rights man from planting State would
not be accepted by the North without dis
chalmers and concessions not to be entered
for moment; and a southern man with
northern leanings, as Davy Hubbard eX-
pressed, would be a submission to Black
Republican"
From both I pray that good Provi-
dence and our own selfrespect will pre-
serve us.
The papers, which you no doubt see,
will have informed You of the protracted
and thus far fruitless struggle to organize
the House Of Representatives No one
can now see how the controversy is to be
terminated; and the southern members
are becoming fast reconciled to their pre-
sent unorganized condition.
AS we ,have little to hope and much to
deprecate from the action of the present
Congress, no legislation may be our best
estate.
A few Of your associates in the long
siege Of 1851 are still in the Senate, and
all remember you with much regard. Let
me hear from you as often as your conye-
nience will permit, and believe me, ever
most truly, yours, JEFFERSON DAVIS.
Consul General Edaoin De Leon, Alex
andria, Egypt.

As friend and citizen he was honored
and beloved by all who knew him. Plain
and unassuming in manners, he endeared
himself to his acquaintance by his sim
pIicity and integrity Deceased was born
in Gooslin county, Va, in A. D. 1892 He
moved to North Alabama sometime in 1872,
and afterwards to West Tennessee, where he
lived until his death. Although quite
young. he served as a soldier through the
war of 1912, and was noted for his courage
and the regularity with which he did his
duty Thus another one of those Old
Guards Of Constitutional liberty and ma
tional glory has left the biyouac Of this life,
and gone to the camping grounds where so
many Of his comrades have preceded him
Would that, hereafter, as their spirits watch
over the destiuies Of posterity for whom
they toiled and suffered, taey could behold
united people, jealous of the liberties for
which they fought As soldiers, their coun
try's honor and glory was their only am
bition. May the profession which they
honored by answering devotion to coun
try, never be disgraced By the venal and
unholy ambition of an American soldier
