JEFF. DAVIS FORTHCOMING HIS
TORY.
=, offer to the Atlanta, tGa.) Constitution.

letter to the Atlanta, Ga.) constitutional
1t is impossible to over-estimate
the caution and carefulness with
which Mr.. Davis has worked upon
his history Of the rebellion. He feels
that his will be the authoritative de-
Tense of the cause of his people, and
he fully appreciates the gravity OF his
task. 1t is two years since ] saw him,
ana lie was reported then to be finish
ing I'D his work. l discovered that
he had hardly begun it, having spent
years in simply arranging the mater
ial for it. Mr.. Davis Is Il most sys-
tematic worker, and is possessed OF
great endurance. He is a rapid wri-
ter, and is a ripe scholar. 1t is the
argument and the facts on which he
has pondered so long. No idea can
be formed of the scope of the coming
book. 1t is certain, however, that all
unexpected space will be given to the
discussion Of the motives and necessi-
ties that lead to the war. 1t will not
be a vehicle of the prejudices of the
writer, but it will be very decided
upon certain of Mr.. Davis critics
and enemies. l asked him if he was
going to be severe upon these persons
in his book. "Well," he replied, smil-
ing, 'tthey say q man gets ~ili-natured
as he grows old. | don't know what
| may write," In conversation he
seemed to be bitterer toward Mr..
Stephens than anyone else. He dis
cussed Joe. Johnston freely, and ex-
pressed himself vigorously as to Gov.
Brown, but said little of General
Toombs, and seemed to care less. He
was warm toward Senator Hill and
inquired affectiouately after him. The
look will be published by the Apple.
tons, and there 10 10 doubt that its
sale will be enormous, probably eX-
ceeding any history ever published
in America. Mr.. Davis has attended
to none of the business details of the
publication, and knows little about
them. These have all been managed
by Major. Walthall of Mobile, a most
excellent man for the purpose. As
Mr.. Davis could command his own
terms, aud as Maj. Walthall is de-
voted to, his interests, it is pretty GER
tain that he will make a large fortune
out of his book. l understand that
the copy is now in the hands of the
Appletons, and the book may be
locked for speedily. 1t will be a
volume that, i'll point of composition
aud the excellence of it's English, will
stand by the side of Glbbon and
Macaulay 1 doubt if the south has
ever produced a more thorough
scholar than MI. Davis. His book
will represent the steady, devoted
work Of his best and ripest years,
and it will be a pride to the south, no
more as a vlndication than as a
classic.

NEW ENGLAND AND THE "sOLID
SOUTH.
From the st. Louis Post Dispatch. =

IFr0m tile vt. Louis F0st-Dlspatch.
The universal standard by which
republicans measure everything is,
"Who saved the Uniou."
The terribly great crime of the
solid south is that it tried to break
up the Union and Is now trying TO
break up the republican party.
The one cry which democrats never
cease to hear is that they did not
a the Union, but sympathized
with the rebellion.
OF course, this is all a lie. Still, if
the solid south is ce%nsurable, the New
England states are still more to be
condemned.
We ask Mr.. Blaine, Senator Ed
monds aud other great leaders in New
England, and the republican party,
to answer this simple question:
If the sole and exclusive measure
of political virtue is the part of {
state or section in the late rebellion ;
if the 'fsolid south" is to be distrust-
ed and degraded OIL account of it's
var record ; and if they are still to
be condemned because five of these
rebel states only SEN 3O1, 6l2 soldiers
into the Union army TO fight tor the
suppression of the rebellion-what
must be thought of the states of
Messrs. Blaine, Edmunds, etc., which
sent still 10000 soldiers less?
Here are the figures of the war de-
partment again. They are interest

A COMPLIMENT TO WOMEN.

One of the most beautiful compliments
to woman was that paid to Lady Eliza
beth Hastings by Sir Richard Steele.
He said OF her. Though her mien car
ries more invitation than command, to
behold her is an immediate check to
loose behavior, and to love her is a lib
eral education"

CHEESE.

The extent to which American cheese
is being imported into AYRSHIRE and re-
tailed at prices greatly under the cost of
the home produce. is, so says the Scots
man, beginning to tell in a way that was
hardly anticipated by dairy farmers in
the county. Many OF those farmers. it
appears. still find themselves in posses
sion of the bulk of the cheese manuiac-
tured last eason with little prospect of
getting it disposed OF at anything like
the figure they have been in the habit of
realizing.

Mr.. Blaine, or the astute senator
from Vermont, Mr. Edmunds, should
explain these figures in the light of
their own position.
They hold that the five southern
states ere "rebel" to-day. and that
the five New England states are the
cream of the nation in patriotism and
culture.
They hold. too. that the one sole
test of patriotism is, what has he
done to save the Union?
Well, it seems that five "rebel"
states That are classed as part OF the
solid south furnished 301 .612 Union
soldiers to suppress the rebels. or.
76.54s more than .fve Neau ENGLAND
states.
1t seems, therefore, perfectly plain
that the "solid SOUTH" however bad
it may be, is not IS bad as New Eng
land ; that, however much New Eug-
land may have done 10 suppress the
rebellion, the "solid SOUTH itself did
much more.
