JEU IkkViS. Throwing- Light on Mooted ijuefttloiiN of the War. Col. Alexander MeClue, in describing his recent visit to Jeff Davis, writes: I have long desired to know the exBo 11 n ill fl .. i •rn knowledge on the subject, in regaid to several important events of the war, and'l was agreeably surprised at the freedom with which Mr. Davis met iu) inquiries. Why Beauregard was ordered to tire upon Anderson in Fort Sumter, after his surrender was inevitable at a specified time without assaulting the flag, has never been entirely understood. It was the act of madness, as it made division in the north iopossible, and I have alwajs believed that the real cause of the order to open fire was to unify the south and end the threatening movement for reunion on terms. Mr. Davis answered promptly and emphatically that the order was given solely because faith had been broken by the Lincoln administration in attempting to reinforce Anderson, and that the south needed no war to solidify its people. I think he errs in underestimating the probable power of the movement in the South for reconstruction before the war, but it is evident that in deciding to issue the fatal order for the assault upon Sumter, he believed the confederacy invincible and defiantly resented what he regarded as a violation of the pledge of the federal government. That act practically consolidated the north, and thenceforth the confederacy was a fearfully hopeless venture. On another important point he answered with the same freedom. When asked whether the aggressive movement of Lee that culminated at Gettysburgh was adopted as purely military strategy or the offspring of political necessity inside the confederacy, he answered that it was the wisest ofjboth military and political strategy, but that it was not dictated at all by political considerations. He said that the wisdom of the military movement was proven in the recall of Meade from Virginia and the transfer of both armies to northern soil; but he soberly added, the battle was a misfortune. The chances were equal as he regarded it, for military success, and that would have deranged the whole plan of the I government and impaired its recourses for the campaign of that year. As a military movement, Mr. Davis says, the Gettysburgh campaign had the entire approval of Gen. Lee, and there were no political divisions in the south to dictate any departure from the wisest military laws. I desired also to know whether, at the time of the Hampton Roads conference between Lincoln, Seward, Stephens, and others, Mr. Davis had received any intimation from any creditible source, that Mr. Lincoln would consent to the payment of four hundred millions as compensation for slaves, if the south would accept emancipation and return to the union. He answered that be bad no such intimation from any source, but that if such I proposition had been made, he could , not have entertained it as the execu- ' tive of the confederacy. He said that he was the sworn executive of a gov I ernment founded on the rights of the states; that slavery was distinctly de- ' dared to be a state institution, and that such an issue could have been de- ; cided only by the independent assent . of each state. Some of them, he added, would have accepted such terms at that time, but others would have deelined it, and peace was, therefore, impossible on that basis.

Mr. Davis discussed the present attitude and future prospects of the south with manifest interest and great candor. While he is not and cannot be a factor in attaining any desired political results for the south, he shares the hopes expressed by the great mass of the more intelligent southern people, that all the difficult problems will yet be wisely solved by gradual advancement and final harmony of races and sections. He was unserved in expressing the belief that a civil service in the south that would insure fidelity to government and people, could not fail to end partisan or sectional issues between the south and the Garfield administration, and unite both north and south in the promotion of the material interests of the whole country. His discussion of the relations of the two sections under the present political aspect, was thoroughly philosophical and statesmanlike, and while he will remain the one adjudged stranger to the republic, he hopes yet to see the south prosperous iu common with a prosperous north, and the scarsof war and the bitterness of sectional dispute healed | forever. Next to a southern slave confederacy he believes a free union the best government for the republic.

The Youm-er Rrothera and Frank, and James.

The Historical Publishing Co., of St I Louis, Mo., have just issued a com-It plete history of the noted Younger \' Brothers and Frank and Jesse James,! bringing the events in the lives of these airy gentlemen of the highway down to the present time. It is a vol-I uma of over 400 pages, containing more than 40 illustrations. Mr. J. W. Buel, of the St. Louis press, is the author, and he has been engaged during the last three year- in collecting and pre Lis materials, having recently

visited the Youngers in the Minnesota I penitentiary for the purposo of verify-1 ing certain portions of hi- w- rk It is ; said to be of the most exciting and thrilling character, and its selling qualities are indicated by the fact that more than 10,000 copies were ordered in advance of publication. These celebrated outlaws certainly deserve a reliable biography, for they have createdan era in the history of our country with their colossal robberies. The cinimat biographer of (’laud Duval made the name of his hero familiar all over the world, but the deeds of Duval, when compared with the magnificent rascality of the great American highwaymen, dwindle into the detestable accomplishments of an ordinary foot-pad or cut throat. America beats the world in whatever she undertakes. The advertisement of this book appears in another column.

mil li' parsap anil a Is a compound of the virtues of sarsaparilla, stillingia, mandrake, yellow dock, with the iodide of potash and iron, all powerful blood-making, blood-cleansing, and life-sus-taining elements. It is the purest, safest, and most effectual alterative medicine known or available to the public. The sciences of medicine and chemistry have never produced so valuable a remedy, nor one so potent to cure ail diseases resulting from impure blood. It cures Scrofula and all scrofulous diseases. Erysipelas, Rose, or St. Anthony’s Fire, Pimples and Face-grubs, Pustules, Blotches, Boils, Tumors, Tetter, Humors, Salt Rheum, Scald-head, Ring-worm Ulcers, Sores, Rheumatism, Mercurial Disease, Neuralgia, Female Weaknesses and Irregularities, .Jaundice, Affections of the Liver, Dyspepsia, Emaciation, and General Debility. Bv its searching and cleansing qualities it purges out the foul corruptions which contaminate the blood and cause derangement and decay. It stimulates and enlivens the vital functions, promotes energy and strength, restores and preserves health,and : infuses new life and vigor throughout the whole svstem. No sufferer from any disease which arises from impurity of the blood need despair who will give Ayer’s Sarsaparilla a fair trial.

It is folly to experiment with the numerous low-priced mixtures, of cheap materials, and without medicinal virtues, offered as blood-purifiers, while disease becomes wore firmly seated. Acer's Sarsaparilla is a medicine of such concentrated curative power, that it is by far the Li t, c'; -:>.p and most reliable blood-purifier kuown. Physicians know its composition, and prescribe it. It has been widely used for forty years, and has won the unqualified confidence of millions whom it has benefited. Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer &■ Co., Practical and Analytical Chemists, Lowell, Mass.
