Notable am ng these is the following which appeared in a communication in a local paper from Dr. c. W. Chancellor. who was a surgeon in the Confederate army:
 The treatment of Mir. Davis by the Federal authorities is indeed a melan- choly picture, if true-and we have no reason to believe 1t is untrue-but we could wish 1t were softened by befit- ting regrets, now that the rancor and animosity of sectional hatred have in a measure passed away and the olive branch has been substituted by Presl- dent Roosevelt for the torch of Alecto, flaming with furies and vipers. But from the charge of a malignant de- signed, under the paltry impulse of party spirit. we are well disposed to sxculpate the authors of MT. Davis's persecution, seeing that fairness, can dor, a more liberal spirit and enlight- ened views are fast supplanting sec tlonal animosities."
