JEFFERSON DAVIS.

On Thursday next, June 8, will reeur
the anniversary of Jefferson Davis, who
was born in Kentucky in 1903. At an
early age he went with his parents to
live in Mississippi.
He was graduated from the Military
Academy at West Point
At the commencement of the war
with Mexico he was in Congress, but he
resigned and raised regiment of vos-
unteers and distinguished himself con-
spicuously on battle fields.
He was Secretary of War under the
administration OF President Pierce.
When his State, Mississippi, with
drew from the Union he was in the SEN
ate. His farewell address is one of the
most notable delivered in that body of
brainy and brilliant men. In brief, the
record of Jefferson Davis is series of
valuable services rendered his State and
his country.
He was the President of the Confed-
crate States. He did not seek this Of
fee. 1t was thrust on him. 1t he had
been permitted his choice he would have
accepted active military service IN the
field where he would doubtless have
won great renoWn.
As the civil head Of the Confederacy
he applied himself practically If silently
to the struggle in UNFOLDING the prln-
cip1es irnbedded in the Constitution OF
the Fathers, but from the publle's view
he was partially ecl1psed by military
heroes. Such has ever been the fate OF
civil leaders, but IN all ( fairness let It
be said that if General Robert f. Lees
name IS emblazoned N glorious deeds
on battle fields, the achievements OF
Jefferson Davis, as the President OF the
Confederate States, must be erlshr1ned
IN the impartial record Of fame.
In the days OF the Confederacy, Mr.
Davis, as was Mr. Lincoln, was IN SUI
pTeme authority. Mr.. DAVIS IN the
South and Mr. Lincoln II the North,
but with the failure OF the ConfedeTacy

had hoped to have been permitted to en-
JOY the peace and quiet OF humble c1tI-
ze11sf1lp, but he was arrested and sub

merc1less severity which could be con-
jured and dictated against him BY sec
onal prejudice and hatred. Il ne was

there could be found not seintilla OF

der and which, if attempted, would have
aroused the civilized nations into v1g-
orous protest against such barbarity In
this editorial It IS needless to refer to
his treatment, as prisoner, when case
mated in Fortress Monroe.
If he was held personally responsible
for the secession Of the States and the
organization of the Confederate Gov
eminent it is fact that he opposed the
withdrawal Of the States from the
Union, until there was no hope left. He
was loyal to his State and to his people.

Some few months ago Mr. Stew
art received choice assortment of
seeds from the government agri-
culture department, with instruc-
tions to plant them in the full of

of wheat ,and has placed them in
the postoffice on exhibition.
The corn stalk has attained

growth shows a great care in the
cultivation. Mr.. Stewart will have
the exhibit photographed and for
ward a negative to the Washington
officials to show that the splendid
soil OF Tonopah. when cultivated
properly. win be boon for the

pose of interesting the eastern
farmers.
