In November, 1861, a general election was
held, and President Davis and Vice President
Stephens were reelected for the full term Of
six years Feb. IS, 1862, the first congress
under the permanent constitution assembled
In Richmond; on the 22d President Davis
was inaugurated, and delivered carefully
prepared message Disasters had already set
in, to continue with scarcely an intermission
for three months Befors President Davis
was this eminous situation: In all the Con-
federate states there were not quite 5000, 00o
white people, among whom the per cent. Of
men capable of bearing arms was surpris-
ingly small. In the Federal or ''adhering
states" excluding all the doubtful and dis
puted strip, we're at least $4,000, coo white
people, among whom the per cent. Of adult
males was phenomenally, one might say un-
naturally, large.
By the census Of 1850 the south contained
about zoe, 600 more women than men, the
north about 400, 900 more men than women;
SO the north could send into the field 600, 900
men and still have at home percentage Of
men equal to that Of the south in peace. OF
the enormous immigration of 1S45-'61, con-
sisting largely Of young and strong men, only
8 per cent had located in the south This
explains the paradox that such states as Kan
sas and Nevada sent larger per cent Of
their total population into the feld than any
state of the south, and yet had many more
men left at home than older states ever have
during the longest peace. The disparity in
wealth was far greater-by some estimates
four times as great. Without accepting so
strong a statement it may yet be admitted
that the Federals were three times as numer
Gus and eight times as rich as the Confeder-

AN APPALLING DIFFICULTY.
The victory of Bull Rum produced great
exultation in the south, but appears to have
had a decidedly SOLDERING effect upon Presi-
dent Davis and cabinet. It may now be con-
sidered proved that he was in for aggressive
action Immediately after that battle, but
yielded to the adverse opinions of Johnston
and Beauregard, and thereafter, with rare
exceptions, insisted upon defensive policy.
During the long period Of inaction which fol-
lowed he embraced every opportunity to de-
clare his earnest desire for peace. He even
excited criticism by suggesting conciliatory
measures; for many months all his utter
ances were amplifcations of that passage In
his first regular message. The moment that
this pretense of our subjugation is abandoned,
the sword will drop from our grasp and We
shall be ready to enter into treaties of amity
and friendship"

COL. JEFFERSON DAVIS.

His Heroic and Successful Action at
Buena Vista
While Mr.. Davis was active in congress in
July, the First regiment of Mississippi volun-
teers enrolled for the Mexican war elected
him their colonel. He resigned at once, over
took his regiment at New Orleans, organized
and drilled it to high state Of efficiency,
and early in September was on the Rio
Grande, in the army Of his father-in-law,
Gen. Zachary Taylor. A few days later he
bore a conspicuous part in the siege and
storining of Monterey, and, as commissioner,
aided in drawing up the terms Of capitula-
ton.
Five months of comparative quiet followed,
and then came the GROWING glory Of his
military career, the achievement Of which,
more than all else, fixed him firmly in the
affections Of tho southern people, aided him
effectively at each turning point in his subse-
quent career, made him secretary Of war and
finally president Of the Southern Confeder-
acy. This was his gallantry, GOODNESS in dam
ger and soldierly skill at the battle OF Buena
Vista, Feb. %, 1S47.
In July, 1916, Mr.. Davis was in congress, in
September he was leading his regiment
against Monterey; in February, 1s47, he was
at Buena Vista, and July Of the Same year
found him again peaceful planter, the regi-
ment's term of service having expired. In
August, 1917, the governor Of Mississippi ap-
pointed him United States senator to fill
a vacancy; the legislature in 1S4S reelected
him to complete the term, and in 1850 re-
elected him for full term. The ever MEM
orable congress of 1S49-'5l, at its long session,
had adopted the noted compromise meas
ure," but fully satisfied neither party.

Nevertheless hope and confidence were
strong. President Davis first state papers
showed great ability, and he assented, some
what reluctantly, to a CONSUMPTION law,
which was among the first acts passed by the
congress. 1t excited much opposition. Of
course, and little later the habeas corpus
was suspended in district ten miles around
Richmond and a military police organized
under Gen. Winder, which continued during
the remainder of the war. The summer
closed favorably to the Confederates though
they regained little or none of the ground
lost in the spring: and in December Presi-
dent Davis made tour of the western
camps, from which he returned greatly en-
couraged. In April, 1868, ne issued rather
exulting address to the people, but the
claims in it were just. The Contederacy was
then at its maximum as a military power.
The disasters of that summer from Gettys-
burg to Vicksburg need not be detailed.
The year closed under the black shadow Of
coming doom.
The real greatness of Jefferson Davis shone
conspicuously as disasters thickened. He
resolutely defended his appointees, and as
clearly theirs He regained the hearts of
the people and almost nullified the opposition
in the congress A committee of investiga-
ton entered upon its work in hostile spirit,
and ended by ibdorsing almost every one OF
the presidents acts. and even exonerated
him from serious blame in the matter
of Commissary Northrop. He e1erted
himself heroically in preparing for the
campaign of 1854, and it opened with
some slight successes. All the rest OF the
year presents painful record Of desperate
struggle against the inevitable; every VIC
tory was barren, every defeat irremediablA

was thought mild.
Mr.. Davis took an active part in the dis
customs on the tariff, the Oregon boundary
issue, the Mexican imbroglio, and the slavery
question 50 far as it came up, but his speeches
at that time indicate a position far more
moderate than was afterwards attributed to
him It is Of no great consequence now, but
worth noting as curious matter Of history,
that in the heated discussions regarding
Texas the threats Of disuniou came largely
from the extreme northern mon, while the
most eloquent eulogies upon the union came
from the south. In a speech on the Oregon
question, Feb. 9, 1s48, Mr.. Davis said:
From sire to son has descended the love
of union in our hearts, as in our history are
mingled the names Of Concord and Camden,
of Yorktown and Saratoga, Of Moultrie and
Plattsburg, of Chippewa and Erie, Of New
Orleans and Bunker Hill Grouped together

IF. in the opinion of others, it be possible

man has the right to doubt my readiness to

With only two or three exceptions the de-
parture of southern statesmen as their states
seeded was singularly calm and dignifed.

Greensboro, n c.; week later he halted at
Charlotte, where he first learned that $780,
600 reward had been offered for his capture
as an instigator OF the assassination Of Presi-
dent Lincoln. All men now admit that the
charge was false.
Another week found him almost alone, a
fugitive in the forests of Georgia, with his
wife and q few devoted adherents. On the
10th Of May he was captured near Twins
vile, GA, by body Of cavalry under Lieut.
Col Pritchard Mr. Davis says one of his
captors, ''had on when arrested an ordinary
suit, with a very long raglan overcoas and a
shawl on his shoulders" In the dim light Of
morning he was at first taken for . woman,
hence the story so widely published. He was
conveyed at once to Fortress Monroe, which
he entered on the 18th Of May, to remain 3
captive for nearly two years
And so all was over. The Southern Con-
federacy had dropped to pieces like house
of cards, and its president, ence the beloved
colonel, the honored senator, tho Federal sec
rotary of war, the successful statesman and
aspiring politician, was prisoner-in ironsl
Yes, all that was bright and hopeful was
gone; nothing now remained but to hang the
prisoner, as had been SO often promised; TO
write his history 50 Is to fix his name in in
fanny, and in no long time his own people
would disown him as the cause Of their woes.
All this, in the opinion Of many sanguine
ones, was soon to be. Only it did not prove so.
The world was now to witness another of
those revulsions in popular feeling which SO
often delight the emotional and puzzle the
philosophic. At sight of this sorely stricken
man all southern criticism was instantly
hushed, and in due time thoughts of some
thing far nobler than vengeance pervaded
the north. Mir. Davis bore his sufferings
with such Roman fortitudc that southern
hearts were knitted to him as never before
His critics apologized, even VIXEN truth was
on their side. His wife shared his captivity
and excited the worlds interest in his case.
His first wife, daughter of Gen. Taylor, had
died many years before, but the one who shared
his fortunes as official and as captive was
lady of refinement and intellect worthy Of
any station. His Oldest and most inveterate
opponents were first to soften; the Abolition
lists asked clemency, and in May, 1867. before
the United States circuit court at Richmond,
Horace Greeley and Gerritt Smith joined
with many southern men in signing his bail
bond. He had been formally indicted for
treason; but, in December, 1865, by the same
court, nolle prosequi was entered, and the
case Of 1.-THE United States VS. Jefferson
Davis was ended forever and TO the satisfac-
ton Of almost every American.

Commissioners were sent to Washington
and fruitless negotiations conducted. Be
tween the Inauguration and the LIST Of April
public opinion in both sections turned to the
contemplation of war. In vain did President
Lincoln proclaim that he certainly had no
