Davis and johnson.

Since our last issue the newspapers
have been teeming with articles to the
effect that Gen. Joseph E. Johnson had,
in recent interview with u reporter,
accused Hon. Jefferson Davis of appro-
tiating to his own use some 81, 500, 900
of specie belonging to the Confederacy
at the close of the war. The Jackson
Tribune and Sun, in commenting on the
affair, says: "Gen. Johnston, in mo-
mcnt of weakness, allowed himself to be
betrayed by reporter, int, an attack
upon the integrity of ex.President Da-
Wis. 1t is intimated that the money
was appropriated or disposed of in
North and South Carolina and Georgia
before Mr.. Davis capture, and that the
same should have been divided among
the weary and heart-broken soldiers ere
they dispersed to their homes. The pub
LEGATION of the charges, or rather insin-
uatons, has brought forth columns of
comment and proof, all of which exon
crates Mr.. Davis and stand as severe re-
proaches to his hasty and hate-blinded
assailant. Every officer with Mr.. Da-
Wis in those sad hours of disintegration
and despair, every one in position to
know anything whatever about the
facts, and all the circumstances of the
occurrence show that most of the specie
referred to was paid over to the soldiers
in reach, and the balance, when Mr..
Davis and his company were forced to
separate and flee in small parties, was
taken by Confederates or captured by
the Federals. Certainly Mr. Davis had
none of it when captured, and his long
and heroic struggle since with poverty,
until relieved by a successful lawsuit
and the atfectionate admiration of u
friend in her will, all attest his inno-
cence and vindicate his integrity. But
these reproofs were not needed. Mr..
Davis life is ample evidence of his hon
esty. He is indeed type of chival
rous class of public men, now only toe
few, who, whatever their faults ofjudg
ment and principle, were models of per
sonal integrity and an honor to the re
public. These dark insinuations agains
him, amid the isolation into which hi
devotion to what he deems right caus
/ has forced him, and in the closing hour
of a great career when he stands almos
+ alone in the solitude of memories who's
freshness can have no fading for him
cannot increase the shadow upon his es
cutcheon. But while we admit tina
Gen. johnson has cause for unfriendl
=, ness to his former chief, we regret tina
he has given utterance, out of resen
ment, to words that will come as poiso
chalice back to his own lips. Ger
= johnson is too great a man for this Ii
+ tleness"
e Gen. Bob. Toombs, in a letter con
% menting OH the matter, says: II wi
~ stake my life on the honesty of Mr.. d,
'e Wis, and if I am mistaken, l will ri,
:, !. him receipt in full for Georgia's pa
d of the fund, and pay every man in Il
y State at par who claims dime"

BY CARUL.

BY CARUL.
Old mountain, thou hast long withstood
The wearing, wasting touch Of Time!
And still, with tow'ring head dost stand,
A mighty monument sublime.
Thou art like some old giant great
Who, clad in mail, has long opposed,
With stubborn and relentless hate,
The darts and missiles Of his foes.
Perhaps, when In thy youthful prime,
Thou vast, like old Olympus grand,
Regarded as the home Of gods
By the first owners Of this land
II thou had'st tongue with which to speak,
What wonders could'st thou not narratc
OF things that hap'd in ages past,
When earth was coming into state.
When God, by his infinite power,
This world into existence spake,
Did'st thou then see him walk the sea,
And with his voice the heavens shake?
No; by that mind that planned this orb
And guides it in its daily course,
Thou, in an after age, vast raised
With an irresistible force.
Thou vast not doomed like all mankind,
From infancy to mans estate,
To grow but like Minerva that
Sprang from the head Of Jove 80 great
Thou, a; single motion of
That hand that guides upon their way
The myriad lamps Of night, leaped forth
Full grown upon thy natal day.
Then vast thou laved by oceans tide,
And saw the changes that began,
According to unchanging laws,
To fit this sphere for coming man.
With implacable look thou saw,
As each succeeding age begun,
New races rise and disappear
Like mist before the morning sun.
Yet, thou could'st not alone remain
BY Time untouched, unchanged and free;
But must, like all things else,
Submit to his inexorable decree.
Thou, like hoary-headcd man
With aged step and wrinklcd micn,
Art now shadow merely of
ThySelf in former days, ween.
So stand, old mountain, to remind
Forgetful and ungrateful man
That he, too, must submit at last
To Time and Gods eternal plan.
