Anecdotes of Jefferson, Davis. --A correspondent of the Jackson Mississippian relates the following incident in the life of President Davis, which reveals a beautiful trait of his character: I am acquainted with a man who was a private soldier in the First Mississippi Regiment, under Col. Davis, in the war with Mexico. President Davis, which reveals a beautiful trait of his character: I am acquainted with a man who was a private soldier in the First Mississippi Regiment, under Col. Davis, in the war with Mexico. The day Gen. Taylor reached the Walnut Springs, the day before the memorable battle of Monterey, late in the evening after a long march, the private in question was taken with something like a congestive chill, and lay down beside the road nearly senseless. It was now considered very dangerous for the soldiers to fall behind Col. Davis, in the war with Mexico. The day Gen. Taylor reached the Walnut Springs, the day before the memorable battle of Monterey, late in the evening after a long march, the private in question was taken with something like a congestive chill, and lay down beside the road nearly senseless. It was now considered very dangerous for the soldiers to fall behind the rear guard, on account of Mexican Lancers and Guerillas, who were dodging after our army, hilling and robbing any who might be separated from the main body. The main body of the army had already passed by; a well known Colonel in company with another officer came up, called, demanded who was there and what he was doing ? The
for gallant and meritorious conduct." Since 1848 he acted as Adjutant, and rose to a full 1st Lieutenancy in March, 1851. His achievements, since that time, in wars among the Indians, were such as to attract towards him the attention of his State, and in his dying hand, on the field in which he fell, he grasped the sword which South Carolina had taken pride in presenting him. Few men of his age had attracted more attention in his profession, and such was his reputation, that President Davis, at once raising him from the rank of a Captain, appointed him a Brigadier General in the Provisional Army. It will not be easy to fill his place in the Confederate service; but South Carolina, more especially, mourns his loss, for he was a true representative of her race. Mild, modest, amiable of deportment, open, generous, bold and dashing in achievement, nice of honor and punctilious of fame, winning friends by sterling conduct, as fearless of foes as sensitive of regard, he wa
$10 Reward Will be paid for my boy Pleasant, who ranaway on the 20th inst., if delivered to me at my house or to Mr. Hector Davis in the city of Richmond. Pleasant is about 18 years old — dark color, not black; very large eyes speaks pleasantly when spoken to, and is supposed to be waiting on soldiers about some of the camps near the city. W. S.

es passes for humanity, and would treat with superfluous kindness the wretches who have come to devastate and defile every Southern household, is the most cruel inhumanity to our own people. We ought to know by this time that our enemy construes every act of forbearance into fear, and is emboldened by it to new excesses and The South would have been perfectly justified if, in such a war as this, it had resolved to take no prisoners, neither to give for ask quarter. It has acted with a generosity and clemency beyond all example; but these virtues ought not be permitted to do generate into weaknesses. We have now in our hands abundant hostages for the enemy's proper treatment of our prisoners, and we have in President Davis a man who, white humane and compassionate, will not forget that the first objects of humanity and compassion are his own people, and who will hold in close custody, as pledges for the past, present and future, every one of the invaders who falls into our hands.

$100 reward. --Ranaway on the 25th of August, two Negro Men, named John and Charles. John is 14 years old; black, has a full head of hair; is 6 feet; inch high; will weigh about 100 pounds; had on when he left a soft black hat, drab coat and blue cotton pants. Charles, his brother, is 20 years old; black; has a full head of hair; is 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high; weighs about 165 or 170 lbs. He also had on a soft black hat, drab coat and blue pants. I purchased them of W. C. Vasmeter, who lives near Cornfield, Virginia. I think it likely they will try and get back to that place. They came to Richmond by railroad from Strasburg. I will give the above reward for them, or Fifty Dollars for either, delivered to Hector Davis, in Richmond. qu 28--2w John D. Ragland.

A correspondent of the Deutsche Zeitung, of Charleston, S. C., emphatically contradicts the oft-repeated assertion that the Germans of the South are wanting in Southern feeling and a love of country. A translation of the article is given in the Charleston Courier, a portion of which we copy: I can with perfe
