MACON, GA, April 26.--In his letter to
the Memo rial Association of Macon. in re-
sp"nse TO an invitation to deliver an address.
Jefferson Davis says: Let not any of the
survivors impugn their faith bv Offering the
penitential plea that they believed they were
right. Let posterity learn by this monu-
ment that you commemorate men who died
in defensive war, that they did not, rs has
been idly stated, submit to arbitrament of
arms the questions at issue, questions in
volying inalienabe rights inherited and
held IN trust for posterity, but they StroVe
for State sovereignty which their fathers
left them, and which il was their duty, if
possible, to transmit to their children. Let
this monument teach that heroism derives
its luster from the justice of the cause iu
which it is displayed, aud let it mark the
difference between a war waged for rob-
ber-like purpose of conquest and one To
repel inYasion-to defend a peoples hearths
and affairs, and to maintain their laws and
libertieE Such was the war in which our
heroes fell, and theirs is the crown which
sparkles with gems of patriotism and right
eousneSsi with gl44y undimmed by any
motive OF Gggrandi@emeht or intent to intlict
ruin on others. We present them TO poster
ity as examples TO be followed, and wait
securely for the verdict of mankind When
knowledge shall have dispelled miSrepre-
Sentatiou and delnsion, it is not unreas0na-
bic to hope that mature reflection. and a
closer study of the political history of the
Union, may yet restore rights Frustrated
by passions developed in our long and bloody
war. If, however, it should be otherwise,
FThen from our heroes graves shall come
In morntnl tones, the answer fit,

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Before another issue of the JOURNAL,
the year 1878 will have passed away and
be mum bered with the many that have
gone before. Its joys and pleasures, its
cares and sorrUws, its successes and its fail
ures, are beyond the control of human
power, and most of them in short time
will even have passed from out our recol-
lection. We should lese no time in vain
regrets over what has passed beyond
recall, but rather look ahead and
hopefully view the yet unwritten page OF
1879. What shall its record be All
who can tell That it may be one OF
unsloyed happiness to the readers of the
JOURNAL is our sincere hope, and to one
and all we wish A HAPPY AND Pros
Porous NEW YEAR.

NEWSPAPER LYING.-Some people
have an idea that newspapers will lie
Others are so wise that they will only be-
lieve a newspaper report when they think
it would be easier for the paper to tell the
truth than to tell lie. Others think it
the evidence of flashing wit to reject with
a derisivs laugh any evidence OF authority
which comes from ''the papers," To
such an extent has this thoughtless judg-
ment Of the press been carried that much
of its sphere of usefulness has been cir
cumscribed. II is true there must be
some occasion for this wide spread i'm
pression-"thers must be som fire where
there is so much smoke"-yet how many
men can show record for correctness
accuracy and truthfulness, that will at
once compare with the average newspa-
per.

strangers, from letters and papers. lie

Lord Bacon the newspaper verifes the
truth of the statement.
Let anyone who doubts this, sit down
and put on paper some pieco Of gossip,
with the purpose of having it printed over
his own name, and he will see in mo
ment how little he knows about matter
he thought himself familiar with. And
he will wonder, not that the newspaper
should contain occasional inaccuracie,
and nisstatements, but that it contains SC
few. And his wonder will wonderfully
increase when he remembers that the ed
itor has to depend for much of what he
publishes on the ccmmon run of man
