Jefferson Davis (search for this): article 1
The President's Return. President Davis returned to Richmond last evening. An immense concourse of people assembled in front of the Spotswood House, and vociferously called for his appearance. He finally presented himself, and addressed the multitude in glowing and eloquent allusions to the brilliant occurrences of Sunday. He described the brilliant movement of Gen. Johnston from Winchester to Manassas, and with fervid feeling drew a graphic picture of the struggle of the wearied say a tribute to the devotion of the soldiers to the Confederacy. Men, he said, who lay upon their backs, wounded, bleeding and exhausted, when they saw him pass, though they could do nothing else, waved their hats as they lay, and cheered for Jeff. Davis and the South. Where the ranks had been broken and the men were somewhat scattered, when they saw the President of the South in their midst, shouted that they would follow him to the death, and rallied once more for the last and the successfu

uent allusions to the brilliant occurrences of Sunday. He described the brilliant movement of Gen. Johnston from Winchester to Manassas, and with fervid feeling drew a graphic picture of the struggle of the wearied soldiers of that gallant command for seven hours with the heavy columns of the enemy. --After paying a most honorable tribute to Gen. Johnston, who seized the colors of a regiment and rallied them to the flag of the Confederacy, he alluded to the glorious manner in which Gen. Beauregard came to the support of his comrade in arms, and at a late hour relieved him of the odds against which he was contending. Each of these two able and consummate commanders, though not imprudently or idly exposing their persons where it was unnecessary, yet, when their presence was demanded, gallantly dashed before the lines, and by their personal courage and example reanimated the ranks whenever they were shaken.

Wolfe (search for this): article 2
upon his beardless cheek, rush gaily by to the scene of strife and blood, and hot tears rush to eyes unused to weep at the thought of that fair head pillowed on the bloody turf; and yet, where could mortal die as well? Pity the desolate ones at home; but for him, the death that must have come at last and tom him reluctant from the earth, he has gone bravely forth to meet, and in the virtue and valor of self- sacrifice, has robbed it of its sting and despoiled the grave of its victory. When Wolfe, on being told that the French retreated, exclaimed, "I die happy," he expressed, no doubt, the feelings of every true hero as he looks his last upon the earth and feels that he has not died in vain. Happy in being a benefactor, at the cost of his own life, to his native land and to humanity; happy in knowing that he will be remembered with love and gratitude, and that he himself will be permitted to look down and see how from his blood will spring the life-giving plants of freedom, indepen
Socrates (search for this): article 2
at in which he lays down his life in a good cause. Death is the common lot of all, and in one shape or other must overtake every man; but he who goes forth to meet it for the benefit of humanity, may well be said to die more gloriously than did Socrates, for "Socrates died like a philosopher," but this man "like a God." Nobler life can no man live than he who walks in the footsteps of the incarnate Son of Deity, nor a more godlike death than to perish, in humble imitation of Him, for the good oSocrates died like a philosopher," but this man "like a God." Nobler life can no man live than he who walks in the footsteps of the incarnate Son of Deity, nor a more godlike death than to perish, in humble imitation of Him, for the good of the human race. Thus the Martyrs and Confessors of all ages, who have passed through great tribulations and at last sealed their holy faith with their blood, are most honored in the Christian church of all the earthly representatives of its crucified and risen Lord, the Divine Martyr of Calvary. And surely, next to them, in disinterestedness, self-sacrifice and heroism, we may place the glorious men who die for their country. But it is wrong to say that such men die. Bullets and bayonet
England (search for this): article 3
A free country. The tyran's at Washington are not satisfied with opening and detaining letters of United States citizens, but have gone so far as to waylay and keep back letters of British subjects written to England when any sentiment in favor of the South has been expressed. Of this we are assured by a British subject who, for safety, has enclosed letters to Northern friends to be mailed to England, none of which have ever come to hand. This was even before the postal arrangements of 1st June. How long will England tolerate this?

ce be put in a course of training. The South could soon have fifty effective batteries in the field if she chose. She has the greatest quantity of artillery pieces and an abundant supply of cannon powder. Tennessee and Western Virginia and North Carolina, can furnish any number of horses, and the South could in one month make herself more formidable in artillery and cavalry than any power that ever sent an army into the field. There will doubtless be ordered out an immense increase of oun army into the field. There will doubtless be ordered out an immense increase of our fighting force. Very large numbers of infantry regiments are thronging every railroad leading up from the South. While the Gulf States are thus furnishing such ample numbers of infantry, the extraordinary facilities afforded by Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina for cavalry and flying artillery, ought not to be neglected.--The subject is worthy of the serious and prompt attention of our Government.
