Hon Jefferson Davis

Correspondents OF the Alexandria GAZETTE.
NORFOLK, w. Dec. 7.-On the announce
ment of thu death of Mr.. Davis, the United
States flag was flung out at "half-mast"
from the dome of the City Hall "Confed.
crate Veterans" assembled to do honor TO
his memory, and many OF the principal
stores on Main street are to-day draped in
mourning.
As an officer in the Mexican war, "a q
Senator of The United States. rs President
of the Southern Confederacy, M writer,
an orator and statesman, MIR. Davis stood
pre- eminent. Aud when the little news
paper scribblers who would defame him,
the officials at Washington who would ig
more him, and the ex- Ulcers of The abolition
army who would traduce him, have been
long ago forgotten, the name of Jefferson
Davis will be emblsz med on the brightest
page of history. as among the abest
aud poblest who have Illustrated The
highest type OF tho human race.
As the chosen leader of band OF patriots.
who impelIed by deep conviction of the
business and legality of their cauee, rolled
back year after year the mighty hosts Of
abolitionists who came TO dspol and crush
them, intllcling upon those invaders such
retributivs justice, that almoss every home
and freside among them furnishes pen
sioner upon the public bouaty, he has been
the object of their hatred, maiavc!ence and
abuse for 25 years.
An unarm d prisoner In their hands,
they incarceratt and msnacled him, visit
ng upon him all the indignisy and degreda.
ton In their power. But amid these acts of
tyrany and torture, the nobility of
his nature, the magnsnimiiy of his
soul, and the grandeur of his 10.
telIect shone the more conspicuously.
While these evidences Of true nobility and
greatness only intensified the hatred of the
hyena-like brood of abotionists who in
tested the body polite of the North and
caused them TO cry for his blood, they ava.
kened in the magnanimous minds of such
men as Messrs. Greeley and Smith sucn
sentiments of admiration and respect as to
induce them to nterpose 10 his behalf aud
secure his release. While thousands all
through the North yet entertain like noble
sentiment fur Mr.. Davis, the vituperations
and hatred Of the Shermana and Forakers
seem only to have become intensified as
time rol S on. And as this southern chief
has passed beyond their reach, the remnant
of their days will be spent in vlllfying
and abusing his countrymen. Rage on, ye
admirers and pauegyrists of old John Brown,
for while you will soon pass away "unwept,
unhoDored and unsung," your own more
worthy and bouored countrymen will unite
with patriots in every land to do honor to
the name and memory of the great scholar
statesman, patriot and hero of the Lost
Cause. Thy work has been well done, oh,
Chieftsin of the Soulful Aud now that thou
hast ceased from thy labora.tby redeemed
soul. beyond the reach of wicked spirits,
shall sweetly repose in the basom of thy
God, while thy admiring countrvmen shall
keep vigils over thy grave. HANOVER,

The Late Ex President Davis.


Fally 100000 persons viewed the remains
of Mr.. Davis at New Orleans yesterday. The
work of draping private and public build
logs still goes on and almost the entire city
Is In mourning. All places of amusement,
business houses, banks, g., will close to-
morrow. The funeral will take place
promptly at u M, and every organic alton
In the city will participate. Arrangements
have been made to have the funeral cere-
monies take place from the balcony OF the
municipal building, so that the public may
witness the entire ceremony.
The sword carried by the deceased In the
Black Hawk war has been sent for and will
be buried with BIN.
The Richmond city council has unan-
mousy passed resolution requesting Mrs.
Davis to allow the remains of her husband
to be buried In that city.
Gen. VIM. b. Payne, of Warren!on, In
sending 500 contribution to Richmond for
a monument to Jefferson Davis, says:
Richmond where he lived as king 10
the only place to bury our king. 1t was the
place chosen by the whole Contederacy as
its head and heart, and is the place where
its highest heroes should sleep. Men seem
to forget that Richmond was the real thea
ire, whereupon Mr.. Davis acted his modest
part. 1t seems sacrilege to bury him else
where. Let the Legislature and city coun.
Gil send messengers TO Mrs. Davis, entrest.
ing her to give US the dead that We so much
honored when living. No defeated leader
ever lived 80 noble life. Let all the South
weep for her honored son, but let Virginia
hold his remains"

House of Representatives yesterday, for the
millions of those who mourn the death OF
AIR. Davis, man dear to their learte, was
very gratifying TO the millions referred to,
aud certainly can hardly be Objectionable to
any of their right thinking fellow citizens in
the North. The recognition Of the feelings
of these millions, who compose 30 large pof
ton of the country's population, By the slm'
pie observance OF the previously inVarisoie
custom at the War Department, would nave
been an act of graceful sympathy, the good
fleets of which would soon have been az
parent throughout all the South, and which
would have done neither the administration
nor sae republican party any harm in any
section Of the country. But those whom the
Gods would destroy they first make mad.

OF INDIANA.

William Henry Harrison Miller,
former law partner of General Har-
rison, and who may probably be
attorney general, was born in Augusta
Oneida county, New York, nearly
4S years ago. His father was wing,
and an ardent admirer of Gen. Har-
rlson. Miller entered Hamilton college
at sixteen years of age, and was grad
uated at twenty. When he left col
Iege he taught school and studied law
at the same time for two years. He
pursued reading under the instruc-
ton of Judge Waite, of Toledo,
Ohio, afterward Chief Justice of the
United States supreme Court.
Completing his studies. he re-
turned to Oneida county, and was mar
ried. Soon after he took his bride to
Fort Wayne, Indiana, where he Le-
gan practice. He remained at Fort
Wayne eight years, and three chill
dren were born to him there. The
eldest is now twenty-five years of
age; the next, a son, is a Junior at
Hamilton college, and the third is
daughter about seventeen years of
age. Miller rose rapidly in his pro-
fessiOn and soon stood at the head of
the Fort Wayne bar. In 1874 he re-
ceived an offer of partnership with
General Harrison in indianapolis.
The offer was at once accepted, and
he and his family removed to Indian
apolis and became intimate friends
and cOnfidantes of the Harrisons, the
most intimate, it is stated, that the
president-elect ever had.
In everything that pertains to his
business Mr.. Miller is a model of pre-
cisOn, and General Harrison has
come to regard him as absolutely nee
essary to him, whether in or out of Of
flee. The admiration is mutual. and
the presdent-elect has no more disin-
terested admirer in the state than his
former law partner. Mr. Miller has
grown rich in the practice of the law,
and his house in indianapolis is an
elegant one.
