Davis should swindle stupid Britishers, and regards it as one of the biggest things that the rebels have yet done not even excepting John B.

M., on Wednesday, the 26th inst.e transferring of that force last spring to the Confederate Government and the retirement of General Floyd to Washington county with his health much impaired by exposure in camp.

Last Moments of the late Gen. John B. Floyd. The Bristol Advocate publishes the remarks of the Rev. E. E. Wexter, of the Holston (M. E.) Conference, who was the officiating clergyman at the funeral of General Floyd. We make the following extracts: I was summoned by telegraph to attend at his bedside, and reached him four days before his death. I found him calm and peaceful — his mind as clear and his judgment as sound as ever in his life. He took me by the hand, telling me he coulGeneral Floyd. We make the following extracts: I was summoned by telegraph to attend at his bedside, and reached him four days before his death. I found him calm and peaceful — his mind as clear and his judgment as sound as ever in his life. He took me by the hand, telling me he could not survive more than a few days. He spoke of his religious feelings and prospects in the most beautiful and satisfactory manner. I wish I could recall his language, but can do so only very imperfectly. He said he was not afraid to die, that he had the strongest assurance of his acceptance with his Makeal. He felt that he was a sinner, and that his only hope was in the infinite mercy of God through the Lord Jesus Christ. As he spoke of the goodness of God his heart seemed to glow with gr

ctions, and she utters the sentiments and the devotion of true patriotism and religion. At a time like this, and under the circumstances which surround us, we shall be pardoned for so far intruding upon the privacy of this high-spirited and pious lady as to mention her name. It is Mrs. Letitia Lewis, wife of Colonel William L. Lewis, of the Sweet Springs, Monroe county. She is the daughter of Governor John Floyd, the elder, and sister of the second governor of that name — the late General John B. Floyd. --Faithful to the fame and the loyalty of her maiden name, she honors that brilliant one she bears as matron, and which descends to her husband from the glorious revolutionary family which, in Charles and Andrew Lewis, gave to their country heroes whose characters and deeds shed lustre upon her history.

her illustrious Southern men who fell under the same suspicion was the late John B. Floyd, the hereditary friend and confidant of Mr. Calhoun, and the man, of all otn, while he had many admirers, had few friends that could grasp his views. Governor Floyd was one of those few. He adopted the views of Mr. Calhoun because he comprehended them, and they convinced his reason. Governor Floyd had long been under the impression that the Black Republican party was a standing menace to the Union. adoption. This, we learn from authority which we believe to be undoubted, Governor Floyd himself stated in the latter days of his life.--He used every exertion to bhe fighting point by all the arguments, entreaties and persuasions of which Governor Floyd was master — and he was master of as many of each as most men.

At the beginning of this contest, there was one statesman of the South, now in his grave, who stood alone in the Confederacy, and we may almost say the continent, in his opinion of the probability of English intervention. This was the late John B. Floyd. He maintained, with distinctness and emphasis, that it was not merely the disruption of the old Union which England sought, but the material ruin of the two belligerents, in order that she might relieve herself of the commercial rivalry of to herself for not only the manufacture but the production of her own staple — an inferior kind, it is true, but still the best (Southern cotton out of the way) they could get. We well recollect the incredulity with which these views of Governor Floyd were generally received, and yet time has set the seal of truth to every word he uttered, and added another to the many illustrations his life afforded of statesmanlike sagacity.
