JEFFERSON DAVIS OPINION OF Ben. lluL
AND LCNGsrREEr.-No long since | was
present when gentleman remarked to Mr..
Davis that the political course of Ben Hill
was, to say the least of it, to be regretted
" Possibly" answered Mr. Davis. Z" Hill might
have pursued n course in recent politics that
| would have liked better, if | cared much
about such things; but will be far from CEN
suring the man for anything he may do now,
who stood by me when all others forsook our
cause 1t was in those trying times that he
proved himself the truest of the true. His
pen and his voice were on my side when
most needed them, and they were equal TO ten
thousand bayoncts, and shall not forget his
services.
The other endeayorcd to support his posi-
tion by citing Longstreets case, arguing that
Longstrect had been good soldier in good
cause, yet his late political antecedents are
sufficient to destroy any and all good opin-
ions formed of him. Mr.. Davis did not think
the cases exactly parallel, Longstrcct was
an ordinary man, whose place could have
been supplied by a thousand persons. llill
was great man and Il power.

Eg- The last issue Of the Chcro

EE- The last issue Of the Cherokee
Advocate, paper published, edited and
printed by Indians at Tahlcquah, Indian
territory, is filled to oyernowiug with de-
tails Of and comments upon the Modoc
war, and its columns show that even in
that remote quarter the aborgines are in
tensaIy interested in the bloody transac-
tions Of their brethren of the Pacific
slope. The Advocate protests in strong
language against the scalping Of the In
dians by United States troops, and says 4:
" 1t may be that there is some excuse or
pal alton for their killing Modocs, but
there can be none fol scalpiag dead ones,
unless, indeed, the people Of the United
States are degenerating into nation of
Sayages. Because sayagcs scalp whites
it is no reason that whites, who are en-
lightened and profess to be Chri,tianized
should scalp them in return. 1t is q
sicSening barbarty from which tho civ
ilized world turns in disgust, and should
be promptly punished. The soldier who
does it ought to be shot, and the officer
who permits it ought to be promptly aud
unceremonously dismissed from the ser
vice, which he allows to be so dishonor-
