President Davis in Knoxville. Knoxville, Tenn., Dec. 11. --President Davis made a speech here this morning. He thinks the toryism of East Tennessee exaggerated. He will stay a day here on his return from the West. He is in fine health and spirits. The C. S. Court has found true bills against five persons for counterfeiting Confederate notes in the mountains.

rried their better dressed but equally nasal and vulgar drummers to every dwelling, they victimized the Southern community in every shape and form. All this was natural, and had become so common that to be commercially skinned by the Yankees was a luxury which we scarcely knew how to dispense with. But that all these peaceful traders should some day send an army here to cut the throats of their old customers, seemed a piece of insanity which no one not himself insane could attribute to Yankee Doodle. Moreover, there was another reason why, apparently, such a thing could never happen. The Yankee race had become the most pious and humane, as well as the most shrewd and commercial of mankind. They had improved upon the Christian religion in several important particulars, and as for Moses, he was an ignorant outside barbarian, in comparison with most of the Yankee Doodle theologians.

The capital punishment of the vilest murderer made them shudder with horror. They invented Teetotal Societies and colossal Bible, Tract, Christian, and a hundred other benevolent and religious associations, which celebrated their anniversaries every May in New York, letting loose such a multitude of cadaverous, dyspeptic and unearthly saints upon the country that scarcely a bird presumed to sing or a flower to bloom in their presence. So powerful and sanctified had the religious organizations of the North become, that they confidently expected soon to reform the whole world, and many excellent people in the South began to believe th

Bainbridges, McDonoughs, of the late war But these cases are not illustrative of the general genius and temper of the nation; and, moreover, not a few of them were of Carolina descent. The out and out Puritan, though not deficient in pluck, prefers the peaceful picking of his neighbor's pockets, in the pursuit of trade and commerce, to the perilous plunder of the battle field. It was only in the bloodless conflicts of bargain and sale that the desces astonishment arises from the foot that we have only known the Puritan in peace, and never met him in war till now. Whoever will turn to the annals of that race in England will find that, in almost every particular, so far as the development of Puritan character is concerned, history is only repeating itself in this country. The brutal, cruel, greedy, licentious, hypocritical, and sacrilegious Roundheads are alive again in their descendants. We have no peace to expect with the North as long

Not that it was deficient in courage, nor, at any rate upon the sea, in warlike enterprise.--There have been few equals in any navy to the Truxious and Hinmans of the Revolution, (descendants of both of whom are now found battling on the side of the Confederacy,) or the Perrys, Huils.

The out and out Puritan, though not deficient in pluck, prefers the peaceful picking of his neighbor's pockets, in the pursuit of trade and commerce, to the perilous plunder of the battle field. It was only in the bloodless conflicts of bargain and sale that the descendants of the Cavaliers had ever been called on to face the descendants of the Roundheads in America. It is needless to say that in those conflicts we uniformly got the worst of it. And who did not? They had cheate

By the Governor of Virginia — a Proclamation. --Information having been received by the Executive that T. H. Cobb, a member of Capt. Robinson's cavalry company, from the county of Patrick, who is charged with horse stealing, and that G. H. Huff, a member of the 13th Georgia regiment, charged with highway robbery, have escaped from the jail of the town of Danville, and are now going at large. Therefore, I do hereby offer a reward of Fifty Dollars for each, to any person or persons who shall arrest the said escaped prisoners, and deliver them into the jail of the town of Danville; and I do moreover require all officers of this Commonwealth, civil and military, and request the people generally, to use their best exertions to procure the arrest of said prisoners, that they may be brought to justice.
