He is painting for future ages the picture of that eventful epoch, whose memories are the joint heritage of all Americans, and which is destined to occupy in American history the pathetic place which the Wars of the Roses now occupy in the annals of England, and in the hearts of Englishmen. Such are the sentiments expressed by Confederate soldiers. Has the greaed, passed resolutions which struck the keynote of Southern sentiment. These resolutions are quoted at length by Mr. Benton. The following extract will be sufficient to show their spirit: The citizens here assembled are Tennesseeans; they are Americans. They glory in being citizens of this great confederated republic; and whether friendly or opposed to the immediate annexation of Texas, they join with decision, firmness and zeal in avowing their attachment to our glorious and, we trust, impr

It is reported that Mr. Gladstone said in 1861 of Jefferson Davis that he had created a nation, while at the same time it was being urged upon England that he was attempting to take a nation's life.
