Chattanooga says: "I 1 saw private letter
from jefferson Davis to Col. Styles, of the
Albany (Ga.) Netos, in which he complains
q. of the manner in which, his speeches al
Atlanta and Augusta have been miscon-
strued by the Northern press. He says he
never wished directly or indirectly to coun-
sci Southern people not to tolerate the sit
tiatiofi. He thinks they ought to wait pa
- tienuy until the returning of the good
sense of the Northern people brings about
a reversal of more obnoxious features in
o.. the. recent Congressional legislation. He
disavows most strongly anything like the
revival of armed resistance.
There was one part of his Atlanta speech
which was not reported. Before saying he
did not accept the situation, Davis asked
any Northern reporters who might be
present to take particular notice of his
words. and he then said he did not desire
to be understood as advising anything like
disloyalty to the Government.
