Honored Sir,-The unauspicious aspect

the citizens of this place and vicinity from
an intended call on you to-day, tits deem
ed proper to address you note instead.
As the Chief Executive Of the late but
nov fallen Confederacy, you enjoyed the

linked with that organization, but as the
representative man, who has borne with
fortitude and dignity the insults and abuses
of q triumphant faction, you have won and
enjoyed their admiration. '' s'' :"
Crushed and impoverished as ne are, it
isznot in our power to extend to you the
elegant hospitalities that it would other
wise be our pleasure to bestow but should
either inclination or the discharge Of duty
lead you to visit our locality, you will find
a home and a hearty welcome in each; and

Mr.. DAVIS PROPOSED AS A RAILROAD
PREsIDENT.-The Houston Telegraph says:
"The Picay,ne nominates Mr.. Davis as
the head of an organization to build the
railroad through from New Orleans Utu
Houston to the Pacific. If Jefferson Davis
is made the head Of such an organization,
we--thatis, the writer of this-are candi-
date for the agency of the sconcern in
Texas and the adjacent States, including
California. If We do not get more land
and stock subscribed to the road than ever
was subscribed to road before in new
country, in the same length of time, we
promise to give up all our claim to good
Judgment. Snch a pouring in OF help to
build the road, from all the South, and,
indeed, from the whole Union, as would be
witnessed, would astonish the world. With
many it would grow out of the old war
feeling; with "a. much; larger number IT
would grow out of sincere respect Tor the
grand genius and historical greatness OF
the man. Men who have always differed
from. him in politics would help. Men
who fought against his armies would
help. Henry Ward ~Beecher would
preach sermon in plymouth church
in behalf of, the enterprise. The New
York Tribune would give the whole force OF
its mighty columns in its aid. The Lon
don Times would stir all the respec stability
and money Of England in its behalf. Dick
ems would awake English speaking Chris
tendon with lectures on the subject. In
Texas and all along the route to the Pa
cifc the people would put whatever OF
their lands. Mr.. Davis might desire at nj his
disposal. And the southern women gene
rally, what would, they not do Every
remnant Of the jewelry they, SO freely
contributed during the war they would in
vest in stock. And, ,speaking more gravely,
Mr. Davis, from his high standing IS q gen
tleman,-ard he is the prince of gentlemen
in the whole world could make any ne.
cessary negotiation in Europe. Why moi
stop all yexatious and proftless persecu-
tions against him, and let him do this
great work for the country and for the
world, ,sb
The .Yieksburg, Miss, papers announce
the arrival of Mr.. Davis at the residence
Of his brother, Joseph Davis, near that
City, on January %, where he is at pre-.
sent sojourning.

Ilhereas 1t is evident that the commercial supre.
