Jefferson Davis was a man of most
sincere conviction and courageous ac-
ton, and when the Southern Confeder.
acy was about to be organized his sin
gle ambition was the command Of the
Confederate army. This l had from
his own lips at his residence at Beau
voir. Miss, some fifteen years after
the war. he told me that when he
started for Montgomery, Ala, when
the movement began for the organi-
zation Of the Oonfederacy he hoped Il
be called to the command of the army
but before he reached Montgomery he
was advised of his election as pro
visionary president. When he reached
the new capital Of the Confederacy
he found It impossible TO change condi-
tons, and be was compelled to accept
the presidency. and be entered upon
that duty as conscientiously as any
public man ever entered upon an OF
fetal career.--Colonel A. z McChTs
