A Letter of DAVIS.

CHEsTERTOwN, Md, December 49,
The following letter from the late
Jefferson Davis to James Alfred
Pearce, United States senator from
Maryland and father of James Alfred
Pearce of Chestertown, is published
with the latter gentleman's consent.
1t relates directly to Mr.. Davis per-
sonal opinions and desires as to the
great questions which led to the war
between the states. palmyra, Miss,
Aug. %, 1852. My dear sir: Among
the most pleasing "reminiscences of
my connection with the senate, 1
place my association with you and
first among the consultations for the
train of events which led to
my separation from that body,
1 remember your very kind letter.
If know myself, you do me justice in
supposing that my efforts in the ses-
sion of 1850 were directed to the main
tenance of our constitutional rights as
members of the union and that L did
not sympathize with those who de-
sired dissolution of the Union; after
my return to Mississippi in 1851, 1
took ground against the policy of Sc
cession and drew the resolution adopt
ed by the democratic states-rights-
conven ton of June, 1851, which de-
clared that secession was the
last alternative and final rem
edy and should not be resort
ed to under existing circumstances
I thought the state should solemnly
set the seal of its disapprobation on
some of the measures of the compro-
mise; when member of the United
States Senate I opposed them because
I thought them wrong and danger
Gus in tendency and because the
people in every town and legislature
by resolutions of instructions required
me to oppose them. But indiscreet
men went too far. The public
became alarmed and reaction cor
responded with the action ex-
treme in both instances; the most
curious and suggestive feature in the
case is the fact that those who were
originally foremost in the movement
were the beneficiaries of the reaction
Having by their extreme course, ere
ated apprehension, they cried mos
Justify that the union was III danger
and saved by their exertions the
offices of the state and some of the
federal government. / am as evel
truly your friend,
[Signedl JEFFERSON DAVIS.

Freight Cars WofulIy Needed.

TOPEKA, Kas., December 13.-Sev-
eral prominent railroad men are here
endeavoring to devise means for the
purpose of supplying freight cars
which are wofully needed to carry
away the great bulk of freight which
is lying at all great traffic points
awaiting transportation. All these
gentlemen state that never before has
there been such demand for freight
cars. Every car owned is in use,
with the addition of cars that could
be borrowed, bought or improvised
for the great traffic. Never has there
been so much freight in transit and
so great bulk awaiting transporta-
ton. 1t is not uncommon to see Or
binary fiat cars boarded up for the
transportation of wheat and more
corn is now in transit than was ever
known before,

River Pirates.

CAIRO, ILL.,, Dec. l3.-EleveI river
pirates, eight men and three women,
were captured by Marshal Mahoney
yesterday morning, after an exciting
chase. The gang had come in sham
ty boat down the Mississippi River
from Alton, and worked at various
points. Wednesday night they made
a raid OH the office of NOrdmann's
stove factory.
They blew the safe to pieces carrying
off $50 and valuable papers. Mar
shall Mahoney and posse:armed with
winchesters, followed them down the
river in tug and brought them
back with their plumber. A fight was
imminent, when one tug with the
officer was sighted by the fugitives
but the officer made them throw up
their hands. The leader of the gang
who is known as Thomas Burns
proved to be Tommy O'Dowd,

Why They Should Mourn

To the San Antonio LIGHT.
The union people throughout the
land, south as we'll as north, may be
disposed to criticise the universal eX-
hibition of sorrow and mourning over
the death of Jefferson Davis. The
eulogies pronounced by aspiring ora
tors, may sound extravaganza, the
general official recognition of the fun
eral obsequies throughout the south,
may appear out of place and in strik-
ing contrast with the calm indiffer-
ence of the north and west; but it is
a sectional sorrow, that found
appropriate expression over the
death of the head and front
of the southern confederacy. Mr..
Davis, of all his southern cotem-
poraries embodied and exemplefied
the true inwardness of the "lost
cause" Not only did he represent
the "cause"s when it was rampant
and hopeful and long after it went
down in the dust and smoke of
battle. 1t was meet and proper that
the people of the south who be-
lieved in and supported secession
should mourn over the death
of their leader; he represented them
and gave expression to their opinions
down to the hour of his death. In
this light the eulogistic speeches
sound appropriate and proper. 1t is
notite to the world that while Jeffer-
son Davis was borne away in the
ordinary course of nature, the peo-
pie he represented so truly and
faithfully still live, and cherish
his public career as the exemplifi-
cation of consummate craftsmanship;
| IL Ia Of hn cd
eracy as the highest type of patriot
ism; his defiance of the establishment
of the government on principles oppo-
site to the right of secession and state
sovereignty, as genuine heroism; his
self-imposed exclusion from Ameri-
can citizenship as martyrdom. Well
may they mourn. There does not
live another man upon whose brow
can rest the crown of secession, or
could hope to succeed to the honors OF
the dead chieftain. ***
