Mr.. DAVIS AND THE ROCKFORD
PEOPLE.

The recent excitement in the town of Rock.
ford ILL.,, created by the invitation Of the Ag-
ricultural Society to Hon. Jefferson Davis to
deliver the annual address during the Fair
to be held on September IA, has caused very
general surprise and regret, not only in the
South, but also in the North and West. There
has been no such deplorable exhibition Of in
tense sectional bitterness since at Appomattox
in 1865, the South laid down her arms.
We are glad to believe that the individuals
in Rockford, who have grown indignant at the
thought of meeting one Of the foremost gen.
tlemen of the age and country. and who have
exhibited themselves in alltheir contemplate
httleness to the wondering gaze of their fellow
countrymen, do not truly represent the feel.
ings of the masses of the people, even of their
own section. Weare glad to see that the able
journals of the West are repudiating and con-
demning in strong and manly terms the action
of these Rockford people, and the unworthy
spirit which they have displayed in wantonly
insulting gentleman who had by their own
people been invited to address them at an
agricultural fair.
We have no words in which to utter our
scorn of the two Reverend gentlemen who are
as having been particularly ex-
because Mr.. Davis had been invited
to come to Rockford, and who relieved their
overburthened souls and patriotic and Chris
tian hearts by the expression of much "righte-
Gus indignation" These meek and lowly fol- |
lowers followers a long way off-of the gentle, |
long suffering and forgiving Gallilean must |
be lineal descendants of the Pharisee who was |
wont to pray, II thank thee 0 Lord, that |
I'M not as other men are" We profoundly
pity the focks who are doomed to sit under
he ministrations of these sanity hypocrites-l
hese whited sepulchers who have stolen the
livery of heaven to serve their master the
levil in.
The letter of Mr.. Davis, Withdrawing his
cceptance of the invitation, is dignifed,
aim and really grand-just such letter as
re might have expected him to write -and at
nee the most admirable answer and the
everest rebuke that could have been admin
stored to the blind and bigoted fanatics who, 6

THE EXTENSION OF THE CRESCENT
CITY RAILROAD.

We join with our friend "Greenville, tn,
writer of the subjoined communication, il
his inquiry as to the whereabouts of the petit
ton mentioned. The subject is an important
one, and should receive the early considera
ton of our city Administrators. If the road
were extended it would doubtless be great
benefit to the residents in that portion of the
city, and we earnestly urge upon the City
Council the propriety of granting the petition.
New ORLEANS, Aug. 10, 1875.
To the Editor of the Bulletin:
I take the liberty of troubling you to insti-
tate gentle inquiry as to what has become
of the petition to the City Council of the Cres-
cent City Railroad. for the right of way to ex-
tend their present line on up to Carrollton.
Some five or six regular meeting days tues
days. have come and gonelsince the above
mentioned petition was first presented, and
yet our City Fathers have taken no action in
the matter, SO far at least as the public is cog
infant of. Now, am one of the five hun
bred "bona fde" residents of the Upper
Sixth District who signed the original address
to the President CDR. Kennedy, petitioning
him to continue his road from its present to r.
minus to Carrollton.
1t can not be denied or doubted that such
an extension would make the Tchoupitoulas
line one of the most paying ones in our whole
city, and at the same time stimulate greatly
the improvement OF vacant property along the
whole line above its present terminus This
part of the Sixth District is high and excel
lent ground both for building upon and for
market gardens.
This road would naturally monopolize all
negro travel from Carrollton, as nearly all
this class work along the levees and river
front as far down as Canal street. Its travel
would also largely increase the small i'm
provements that would surely 60 up all along
the strip between Magazine street and the
river front.
1t seems to US, Greenville and Carrollton
people, that our Administrators should will
lngly grant important concessions, if asked, |
in order to foster and promots so great an
improvement as this road would be; and par
ticularly so, when it would cheaper travel to |
US and put road in front of our doors.
We now walk from five to fifteen squares |
before we can reach the station, which in bad |
weather is anything but agreeable. With this
'oad extended and our district thoroughly
trained Gas it will be shortly by the Nashville
Avenue canaD our neighborhood would soon
make rapid strides, and become rival of the
Fourth for the appellation of the "Garden
District. If you can assist us any in venti-
ating this matter by calling upon the respon-
IDLE parties for that action expected of them
" the public, you will greatly oblige many
eaders OF your paper, and especially your
tumble servant. GREENvILLE.

A MANLY LETTER.
JEFF DAVIS AND THE wINNEBAGo COUNTY FAIR.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune:
CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-The recent action of the
| Rockford Post of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, and certain citizens of Winnebagc
county. seems to me to have been unwise,
and, under the circumstances, very reprehen.
sible We Of the North have always boosted
that the utmost freedom of speech is allowed
in this section of the country, and we have
stoutly affirmed that at the South, on the con-
| trary, no sentiments can be uttered at all diff
fering from the public belief, except at the
peril of violent opposition and often of per-
sonal danger.
| AS Mr.. Davis has been especially the rep
resentative of the cause of disunion, again It
| which l fought as a soldier, would not have
| favored his original selection as a speaker for
| the occasion, but, after an invitation had
been officially sent him, and he had accepted,
1t must strike every candid person as most
diScourteous and even contemplate act to
insist on resembling the engagement.
The starvation of our men at Andersonville,
and other prisons, is without parallel in
its horror, and can not be justified; but in re-
latlon to most of the members of the Confed-
crate government there are many mitigating
circumstances that the future historian must
admit, among which may be mentioned the
acknowledged scarcity Of food for the Con.
federate soldiers themselves, and the exceed
ingly desperate condition of their cause, i'm.
polling their leaders to adopt any and all
means which they conceived would help
them -justifying great atrocities on the
ground of compulsory circumstances. Even
SO brave and SO great a General as Sherman
on his march to the sea permitted, ii he did
not encourage, some of the most frightful bar
barities upon innocent women and children
that the annals of modern times chronicle;
and the mantle of military necessity" is
the covering under which his violations of the
rules of civilized warfare are hidden.
The day is not far distant-iudeed, it has
already come with the more liberal at both the |
North and South-when Americans will boast |
with equal enthusiasm of the patriotism, |
bravery, and prowess of the soldiers on both |
sides in the late struggle. The Southern |
soldier was educated from childhood to be-
lieve in State Rights, and his convictions of
duty led him to embrace a cause which the
world now knows to have been wrong The
Northern so. der was reared to belief in ma
.ional sovereignty, and with no greater devo-
lion to principle than his antagonist pos
'essed; he entered the Union army and fought
lnder the Stars and Stripes.
Under the circumstances, trust that other
Northern agricultural societies will invite Mr.
Davis and give him respectful hearing, and
ct US all show by our discretion and charity
hat we wish the country henceforth to be
me in sentiment as we'll as in name, and.
the past, know no North, mo
south, no East and no West.

strong, who was seriously injured in July
last, by falling through the hatchway of the
steamship Tappahannock, is gradually recov-

1t was at first thought that it would be
necessary to smputate his arm, but he will
be spared this affection. although the arm
will never entirely regain its former strength.

A telegram was received Thursday morning
by Deputy Collector Herwig, from Capt
Freeman of the revenue cutter Dix, stating
that she would leave at daylight, to go to the
assistance of the Rio Bravo, according to the
orders of the Secretary of the Treasury. There
was heavy southwest wind blowing at the
Passes and high sea running at the date of
the dispatch. In maritime circles here it is
the general opinion that it will be impossible
to get the Rio Bravo of, bu. as two war ves-
sells have been ordered thither, doubtless
strong attempt will be made to save her.
