men In 10 was ex-senator foole, |
of Mississippi, person OF remarkable
requirements and gins OF mlnu

wth-a JIG uit, q cayiler,. Il marlplot, blend
ing the features of Iago and Macchiayelli.
After he had started his usual tactics OF DIS
order and division, and kept them up some
time, n member named kenOn turned upon
him one day and called him in the puOlic
session liar, scoundrel and traitor. IT made
a sensation. At the close of the session lhlt
day ! walked down from the capitol win
FOote and AS we stopped in TO take glass
on the way, | said to him; "Goverhor
Foote, that was outrageous language henon
used to YOU to-day. know Kenon, sir, and
YOU can take my word for ii that he IS
mere bully. Ii you 90 right at him, nam
mpr and tongs, tomorrow as soon as the
senate opens, he will cover" Old
Foote looked at me u minute, and sad:
Young man, when you have reached my
age and cannot see mark across the room,
and have been on he field as many times
as have been called out you Wlll pay very
little attention TO such small quarrels as
this.

his class, fervid and persuasive, ana arous-
ing the courage ana spirit of the people,
He was only matched in that species of ora
tory by Toombs, who, at his best, was
grand talker, and could arouse q stone or
make coward brave. But Mr.. 1ancy re-
| turned from Europe, after acting there as

man. He said we should get no help
abroad, because of our slaves. That was
another instance of the way our political
leaders put the cart before the horse; he
should have discovered fact like that be-
fore bending his energies to secession; or,
after taking the step OF secession, have pre-
served some tolerable tortitude 1ancey

usual thing with our public men: The
state of Alabama which has probably felt
fine war in the changed circumstances OF
her people more than any southern state,

Confederate side" A.

"Reagan, of Texas, was the hardest
worked man in the Confederate executive
government. He is not man of genius,
But of unwearied labor and pains. Mr.;
Davis was a man also patient of details, and

"What kind of men are Brown, Hill ana
THE GEORGIA DELEGATIoN?'
"Rrown is probably the shrewdest man of
the present day in the south. He possesses
marvellous sense Of prophecy or foresight
to know how anything is coming out years
hence. He has been the leading charac'
ter of Georgia to carry on her aliairs
since he came into public life ttwenty-elght
wears ago. He has watched his own in
terests well, but has been also
faithful to those of Georgia. do
not take issue with nm about opposing 'n ne
Confederate conscription acts; they did us
more harm than good. They disciplined
our volunteers to the spiritless machines
who fought the two first years OF the war so
grandly. Brown properly opposed the pro-
Federal acts of Mr.. Davis government,to TOO;
We seeded for violated state rights, ana
Federal oppression, and the Richmond gov
eminent soon began the same things. Brown
was faithful to the idea we embarked upon,
and he has always drawn his inspiration
from the mountain race he sprang among,
in the upper parts of Georgia and Carolina.
He has ALWAYS been strong there. Not adj
miring many features OF his mind, con
cede his hard brain, practical faculties and
political acumen. He is the head OF the
democratic party in Georgia to-day, ana
/ think it has been assented TO, unpalataDle
as some of her apparent aperra'lohs anu
amagamations have BEEN. His courage
and pugnacity are matters of standard in
formation.
