JEFFERSON DAVIS recently addressed the
Southern Historical Convention, at White
Sulphur Springs, Va. In speaking of the late
war. he said: ave have been more cheated
than conquered by the declarations of the
Federal President, Congress, and Generals,
for there never could have been a surrender
had we anticipated what followed, and we
would to-day have been Free" He still had
hope of the South, because, whatever men
might be, he never yet had seen reconstruct
ed women, and, while men of this day are
mightier than the principles for which they
had struggled, he yet hoped the children WHIT
succeed them would grow up to maintain and
perpetuate them, and redeem all that had been
lost "A New York Herald correspondent has

Lenderman, the Director of the Mint, will, ii
is said, recommend to the next Congress that
the Government shall bear whatever LOSE
there may be from the honest use of coin,
and that defaced pieces, where there is nc
evidence of fraud, shall be redeemed by the
Government at the face value
