President Davis on extortioners.
--President Davis has a very contemptible opinion of extortioners and those who owe, but dodge, military duty. "If I were a young girl," said he, in a late speech, "and wanted to marry, I would rather lean upon the empty sleeve of the soldier who had lost an arm in battle than upon the muscular arm of him who staid at home and grew fat."

Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 29, 1863. Lieut.-Gen. Polk, Atlanta, Ga.:
General — After an examination into the causes and circumstances attending your being relieved from command with the army commanded by Gen. Bragg, I have arrived at the conclusion that there is nothing to justify a Court-Martianto the causes and circumstances attending your being relieved from command with the army commanded by Gen. Bragg, I have arrived at the conclusion that there is nothing to justify a Court-Martial or Court of Inquiry, and I therefore dismiss the application.

From North Carolina. Goldsboro', Nov. 7.
--President Davis arrived here to-day at 11 A. M., and was enthusiastically received by citizens and soldiers.
Being called for, he made a few remarks from the platform of the car. He said North Carolina had nobly done her duty from the battle of Bethel to Chickamauga, and would do her duty in future, and that grumblers who sat around their firesides, finding fault with soldiers, thus dampening their ardor, would be remembered hereafter.
He closed his remarks amidst loud cheers, expressing the hope that peace and prosperity would soon smile upon us as a free and independent people.
The train moved off amidst deafening and prolonged cheers.
The President seems in the enjoyment of good health, his fatiguing tour notwithstanding.
