jefferson Davis Called Down.
Old Governor Letcher Got on His
Ear 1bout an Order-4 Wester1l

During the Civil War John Letch-
er was the war governor of the
State of Virginia. John was wire
puller aud slateSmaker in politics.
but not much of a talker, but he
made one speech to JEFF Davis which
Davis thoroughly understood, and
which probably saved StoneRall
jackson from being shelved or re-
tired to some subordinate command,
says the Portland Oregonian.
twas after Sconewall jackson had
driven Gen. Banks across the Shen-
andoah and was preparing 10 attack
Mcdowell and Shieldsthat jeff Davis
as was his custom, to have hand
in all military affairs, sent an order
To jackson which did not strike
jackson as polite, and which, had it
been carried out, would undoubtedly
have resulted in the success of the
camp aign on the side of the Federal
forces, and possibly the annihilation
of Jackson 5 command. 1t irritated
old Stonewall, and he sent Davis this
lsconic reply:
'sSend me less orders and moro
men."
On receipt of the message, jeff
Davis issued an order through Sec
retary of War Randolph relieving
Jackson from command in the Shen-
andoah Valley. This came to the
ears of Governor Letcher, and, ar
rayed in his best bib and tucker,
with his broad Panama hat, gold
spectacles and cane, and his guber-
material. nose high in the air (Letcher
was. stiff brandy drinker, aud his
proboscis Was carbuucled and red,
as who should say: "Am not
Governor par excellence p Tins
aIrayed in his best, and in his high
ip dignation, on warm Sabbath
morn his Excellency arrived at the
residence of President Davis on
Shockoey Hill.
is President Davis at home p
queried the Governor to The servant
at tile door.
Yes, sir; will you step in, Cover
nor ? said the servant.
No, sir said Letcher. Tell
President Davis that The Governor
of the State of Virginia desires to
see him.
Davis was notified and Immediately
came to the door, greeting the Coy
ernor with:
Come in, Governor. Delighted
to see you, sir
The Governor, drawing himself
stifily up and without further preli-
minaries, said:
mir. President, am correctly i'm
formed that you have caused an
order to he issued, through the Sec
Iretary of War, relieving Major-Gen-
eral I. j. jackson from his command
in Northern Virginia? is this infor-
nation correct, sir?'
We'll, yes, Governor, said Davis.
Il consider that it's for the best in
terest of affairs that General jackson
be relieved from his command.
Governor Letcher: President
Davis. 1 have called on you person
ally TO learn il this order is 70 he
promulgated, and to say to you, sir,
that when Major-G General T. j. Jack
son is relieved from his command, 1
shall also issue an order withdraw
ing the troops of the State of Virgil
mia. from the field. Good morning,
sir, and turning on his heel, he left
the astonished President of the Con-
federacy 10 his reflection.
tits well known that this prompt
action on the part of Governor
Letcher put stopper on Davis, and
that the order was never issued.
These facts were obtained from an
officer high in service in the Con-
federate government at that time.
