Ey.President Davis.

b. G. =
3 There are certain men in the South who take
a special delightfin5 decrying Mr. Davis. This
is done generally in such way as to escape
public criticism, and thereby avoid the just
censure and indignation of the people. He is
damned with faint praise and be-littled by
comparisons that are odious and inapplicable.
In covert way, Mr. Davis is accused of in
tense egotism, .inordinate vanity, implacable
hates and strong attachments. His ability is
denied: and hisarbtrary conduct, it is insinua-
ted FASTENED the downfall Of the 'Confederacy.
In striking contrast to this defamation of the
fallen leader of the Confederacy, we find the
following merited eulogium in an article in the
Courier:Journai:
With a irmness of execution, Indicating an
honesty of purpose, he discharged his high du-
ties, and the people appreciated him for it, Foote
charges fayoritism and obstinacy Oh him with
more truth than most assertions he makes.
Several instances of that were shown during
the war. In the first days of the war, when it
was our proud boast that one Southerner could
whip five Yankees, and after the ill-omened
victory at Manassas had inspired us with over
confidence and neryed our adversaries to fresh
effort, Albert Sidney Johnston was assailed
with the most outrageous and. abusive clamor
by the Southern. because fell back be-
lore Inc duFduCluS IOc illlu IllC uCludHu IoI 10
removal was ten thousand times repeated. This
the President obstinately refused to do; and
when the news of Shiloh was flashed through
out the land, it was met with wall of woe
from an entire people for the loss of a great
General and a good man. When General Lee
commenced his career as Confederate officer
by retreating across Virginia before Rosen-
cranz, the same tumultuous clamor for his
being removed or superseded was raised by the
valorous stay-at-homes, and again the obstinacy
of Mr. Davis saved to the country General
that all the world now delights to honor The
patient spirit of the indomitable Stonewall
Jackson, ere he was known to fame, gave way
before the rough assaults of the chimney-cor-
ner generals, and he demanded peremptorily
that he might resign aud be saved those hu-
miiatlons and once more the peculiar obsti-
macy and favoritism of the President saved to
the country its greatest military genius: Out
of sixty thousand appointees how few mistakes
did lie commit.
Faults he had, this President but none to
obscure his virtues; mistakes did he make, no
doubt but take him all in all, most noble
and gallant fight did he and his people wage
against fearful odds, and failed to make the
'lost cause" success only because Of circum-
stances which no mortal hand could have con-
trolled.

LIGHT RUNNING MACHINE, using the Rotary
Hook, making the Lock Stitch, alike on both

waste power in drawing the shuttle back after
the stitch is formed, bringing double wear and
strain upon both machine and operator; hence,
while other machines rapidly wear out, the
Wheeler IL Wilson LASTS A LIFETIME, and

TALK PLAIN.

TT is as much Of an impossibility
i for q Merchant to carry on his
Business without MONEY, as it is
for Farmer or Mechanic to work
without Tools. This is plain
fact, and we respectfully beg leave
to urge our friends who are indebt-
ed to us for Supplies and Goods of
any description to bear this in
mind, and to come FORWARD PROMPT
LY and settle their Bills and Notes.
Cotton is at low price just now,
and there is a probability of its
going lower; therefore, you run a
great risk in holding, while you
may make money by selling now.
It would be much more to our adj
vantage to pay the Planter 20cts.
for his Cotton,(pfevided we could
be safe in SO doing,) than to give
him the present prices. But you
know we cannot have things our
way.
The Notes you gave us for
SIMS WAGONS are now falling
due, and our instructions from the
Factory is to urge prompt payment
according to your promise.
Our Stock of Goods is new and
complete, and for Cash OF Cotton
we will sell cheaper than Goods
have been sold in Anderson since
the War. Prove us by our works,
