HEttftY S. FODTE ON THE REBELLION.

Mosars. Harper & Brothers will publiob. this
week a work bv IL 8. Foote, of Mississippi,
entitle! "War or the Rebellion; or, Scjlla and
Charjbdis: consisting of Observations upon the
Causes, Course, and Consequences of the late
Civil War In tie United States." As will be
gathered from the title, Mr. Footo gives in this
Tolume his opinions on the war, and the causes
which led to it. lie discusses tho political his
tory of the country from the settlement of the
colonics, rapidly, and blames abolitionists and
nccffnloots alike for the war. lie is ot opinion
that sectional parties brought on the war; he
seems to forget that slavery cuusea the sectional
pnrties. He seems to imaclne that it was only
the result of political squabbles.
His discussion of political questions has little
value or interest. It is an attempt to warm up
Tory stale meats. There are issues and questions
so dead that they can never be infused with life
again now that the struggle is over which killed
them. The nation has stepped a step higher It
does not care to turn back and carefully examine
the mnd through which it has passed. But Mr.
Foote scatters through his book reminiscences of
public men, somo of which arc of interest. Here
s a sketch of
JEFIEB60N DAVIS.
I saw him first in the city of Vickubun; more
than tliiity yearn ao as Lieutenant Davin. lie
was tin-u a young man ot modest and iileasiijr
aFpcci uiki niniiuei, dud gave snout uidijutioin
ol any abilities likely to lead to tuture diNtiiiction
lie married, leu the army, aud Bottled hun-eU
on a plun.atiou ot respectable dimensions iu the
southern jmit ol the county 01 Wurren, so;uo
twenty milei Iroin the city oi Vicksburcr. where
he hus couHtaLtlv rei-iaed since, until lie became
1 'resident ot the Coniederate States.
Mr. Davis tmd his olliclal associates had no
correct conception ot tke true character tiu.l
dnrieiiHons ol the war into which tnev ha 1 so
hastily plunged, aa was alterwards frankly con
leased iu many a lugubrious huransrue, and iu
more than one solema olliclal document. They
did not believe at tiist that the conllict would
endure lor a twelvemonth, and were even weak
enough to calculate most couiidently upon strong
.Northern aid, which it is now well known there
never was the least probability of tholr receiv
ing; albeit ex President l'icrce and several others,
whose letters to Air. Davis have recently seeu
the light, had plied this coutiding personage
with secret promises ot support, upon which hi
built In part his hopes ot one day wielding an
imperial sceptre. As to the interposition of
foreign powers in behalf of the now warring
States of the Bouth, though many dejeitlul
assurances were received iro'iu abroad at differ
ent periods ol the contest, no man of sound in
tellect anywhere now supposes that either the
French or English Government ever seriously
thought of embroiling itself in a transatlantic
civic lend. Mr. Davis vetoed more bills during
the short provisional regime than all the Presi
dents of the United Slates put together, from
Washington to Lincoln inclusive, and no at
tempt to pass a single bill over li is head was
ever made.
DAVIS' CABINET.
There were only two of those functionaries
whobe oflicial qualitlcations were even respecta
blethe Attorney-Cieueral, Mr. Watts, of Ala
bama, and the Postiraster-General, Mr. Reagan,
ot Texas. The Secretary ot War (Mr. Benjamin),
besides his inability to meet the military exigen
cies which he bad been encountering, as well as
the more serious ones in prospect, was subject
to otaer objections as the Incumbent of a high
cabinet pcBitiou of the greatebt and most vital
chniacter. ilia reputation lor integrity had
never been good, and ot lata years it had
become deeply tarnished by his known particl
pancy in schemes of notorious corruption both
in the State ot Louisiana and in Washington
city. The otlensive moral odor arising from the
celebrated lloumas irand (one ol the most un
blushing and proilijate legislative transactions
that had ever disgraced the annals of a free
people) had affixed such a stigma upon the repu
tation both ot Mr. Beniamin and his friend and
patron. Mr. John A. Slidell, as it was not possi
ble that any lapse of time could entirely eilace.
CURIOUS SECRET DISTORT.
Just about the time that I was laboring most
assiduously to relieve the Department of War
of Mr. Benjamin, by calling lortli, as far i.s it
might be in my power to do so, co-operative
responses from the people, an occurrence took
dace iu social life in Richmond which nad
much effect, not only upon tho late of Mr. Ben
jamin, uui wnien, in the sequel, had much in
fluence also upon the course ot public events.
I chanced to be invited to a dinner-party,
where some twenty of the most prominent
members of the two Houses ot the Contede
rate Congress were congregated, including
the Speaiter of the House of Representatives,
Mr. Orr, of South Carolina, and others ot
equal rank, (ienpral Joseph K. Johnston was
also an invited guest. While the banquet was
proceeding, Mr. BeniamiD's gross acts of
ollicial misconduct becoming the subject of
conversation, one of the corapanv turned to
General Johnston, and inquired whether he
thought It even possible that the Contederate
cause could succeed with Mr. Benjamin as war
minister. To this Inquiry, General Johnston,
atter a little pause, emphatically responded in
the negative. This high authority was imme
diately cited in boih Houses of Congress
against Mr. Benjamin, and was in the end iatal
to his hopes of remaining in the Department ol
War.
Mr. Davij, after deferring the sondinir in of
Ms nominations for Cabiuet appointments, un
der the permanent Constitution, for nearly four
weeks, in order to have it in his power to per
suade the Senate to confirm Mr. Benjamin as
Secretary of War, in the event of his being re
nominated, ultimately relinquished this object
in despair that body, however accommodating
it was iu general to Executive fancies, having
been found ui.williug u participate in the terri
ble responsibility ot suco. an act. Mr. Benjamin
was finally nominated for the npnurtmont m
State, and was confirmed, by a very small ma-
iviiKj, iui ujoi jiu;e, wueie ne naa u in his
ower, both abroad and at home, to perpetrate
Wurebarttfaetd acts of corruption and profligacy
than any single indindanl has over been known
lo commit in the same space of time iu any
part ot Christendom. I will here remark, in
passing, that this lrauk and manly declaration
of General Johnston rendered both Mr. Davis
and Mr. Benjamin ulike hosiile to him, and he
was fated to experience the etl'ect ot their ma
levolence on moro thun one subsequent occa
sion previous to his ultimate deprivation of
military command.
Very (treat mlbchief uotoriou-ly resulted 'to
the Coutederate cause from the long retention
intheollice of Commutary-Gcneral of Colonel
Northrop. This person is understood to be a
na'ive ot South Carolina, and had spent some
years in the c ity ot Charleston anterior to the
war as a practitioner 01 medicine upon the vege
tarian syMPiu. Some mysterious circumstances,
not heretoiore explained, had, in some way,
many yeurs previous to the commeacement of
the war, established relations of special amity
and confidence between himself and Mr. Davis,
in consideration of wa.ck he had been locat -d
in an oflicial position tor which he was in every
way air utterly unnt as any human be ug could
be well imagined to bo. His appearance was
most unprepoceKSing ludeed; his manners were
coarse, overbearing, and insulting: his temper
was austere, crabbed, and lrrtUani; he was
utterly ignorant of the duties of tho post as
signed him, and was not at all solicitous to make
lioij-elf acquainted with them. ns stlf-esteein
, was the most inordinate that I have ever known
any human bcinir to possess, and no man at all
eapable of judging or such a matter would have
regarded him as in all respects compos mantis.
A general iinpretsicn had loug prevailed in
Chuileston that he was, in point ol tact, moro or
less disordered In mind; and during the three
THE DAILY EVENING TFXEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY,
years that I occupied a seat in the Confederate
CongreFS, I received numerous letter from citl
r cm ol the highest respectability residing there,
urging me, in the warmest terms, t aid in dis
placing him from the position which he was so
signally disgracine,
1 sm not prepared to asert anything in regard
to his pecuniary uonesy, but it is undoubtedly
true that all over the Confederate States he
had men employed to purchase supplies for
his department ot notoriously bad character,
not a small number of whom are known to
have accumulated large fortunes during the war,
the names of some of whom I could, were it
n cestary, quite enily specify, having brought
their iniquities heretofore to the view of the
Contederate Congress. Tho heartless tyranny
practised bv this monster of iniquity in all the
Slates of the South, in connection with the
system or forcible impressment esiaoiished, has,
1 am persnaded, scarcely ever been equalled,
His brutal lud'flercnce to the snlfcnnini ot the
Confederate soldiers, by all ot whom he was
most cordially detested; bis indecent and habi
tual disregard ol the requisitions mad upon his
department, from time to time, by various mili
tary commanders with whom ho was necessarily
thrown into contact; his open and notorious
employment ot disrespectful and contemptuous
language in regard to tnoe in oilicial station, to
Hhom he was legally subordinate, arc matters
upon wnicu it would be now superuuous to
awen.
Yet he w as retained in tho Commissar? De
partment lor lour years, in utter contempt of
reiinjusTiaiJce, oi compiuuii, ana oi aircct and
iii,Huive acruBiuons oi ueuuquency. it is even
true that Mr. Nortnrop was not a constitutional
on.ccr; alter the commencement or the perma
nent Contederate Government he was never
Dominated to tho Senate. Hut. though this
matter was brought to Mr. Davis' special notice
dv grave procpcmr.gs in Dotn nouses of Con
cress, he still hclo on to Northrop, nor did he
evei deign to present his name to the Senatu lor
tbe sanction ot thiit body up to the latest mo
ment ot liis own oli.cial existence.

'iho career ol Mr. Seddon, as Secretary of
war, w ilt long oe lemcmbercd by all who ever
entered tne v nr Department, while ho sat en

whom I ever yet saw in the possecsion of oilicial
power, luousrn he had always been an ardent
cnaio-ngntB man in protcssion, up to the break

he had never sincerely cherisliei the smallest

GENERAL HIKDHAN 0NB OF DAVIS' PETS.
General Hindman. of Arkansas, when a vprv
juuug man, naa, in tne state oi Mississippi, been
a iiioi noisy auu unscrupulous advocate ot Jef
lei son Davis and secession at that time pro-
TA1inlA4 . n si U .1 x . ,
where he had led for eevcral years a very turbu
lent and dinreDutable lite. but. bv forn nf
ifj unucu unu minwiiruti imne to Arifftiittna
drill, had been sent for a year or two to tbe
federal toneress hen the war brokP ,mt. w
almost Immediately given a high military com
mand, and was rapidly promoted, until, as a
major-general, he was sent to the State of his
own residence, lor the tmrnose of holdlncr nn
important position there. This man, as his own
formal report to the War Department evidenced,
finding, as he said, that the very comprehensive
provisions of the conscription law were not
quite comprehensive enough to suit his purposes,
deliberately amplified them by proclamation;
declared martial law throughout Arkan man find
the northern portion ot Texas, and demanded
me services oi all whom he had thus Illegally
and tyrannically embraced in his own wide
sweep, ng conscription list.
All who refused to obey his mandate, as he ex
pressly confesses, were apprehended, subjected
to trial bv a militurv rnnrt dnnntntrn) of tk i
stant by Hindman himself, and when convicted,
as a considerable number werp. of an ni)in
which he unblushingly acknowledses in this
same report wholly unknown to the law of the
that same reoort. took care to be Trpnenr. t
witness the dying a-ronlcs of his victims. This
man seized uDon nil the cotton und nth
perty lor which he had use t,as he boldly avows),
burnt some, retained some, and appropriated a
third portion to aicb. purposes as he 'pleased.
His cruelties were so enormous in Arkansas
that it became unat? that he should remain
there longer.
SEDDON AS A CHEAT.
And yet Mr. Davis retained this man in the
oilice oi Secretary tit War, amid continual indi
cation ot popular indignation and disgust, from
month to montn and irom year to year; nor
would he have been at last seen to vacate the
oilicial position which he had so long deeply dis
honored, but for the undeniable fact that I had
directly chareed him upon recorded testimony,
that Is to say, upon the evidences supplied by
the books of his own department, of having
caused to be paid to himself, bv his own oilicial
subordinates, forty dollars per bushel tor his
whole crop of wheat for tho vear 1064, while
he was, by the Instrumentality ot forcible im
prcsKment, compelling the farmers of North
Carolina, Georgia, and other State9 1 3 yield up
their wheat to the Government officials at tho
inadequate price of from seven to nine dol
lars in Contederate paper. I made this ex
position in the last speech which I de
livered iu the Coulederato Congress. Mr. 8ed
don resigned the Department of War the very
next day. As chairman of a special committee
ot the Confederate Congress, organized at my
own instance, for the purpose of inquiring into
cases of illegal imprisonment, I obtained from
the superintendent of the prison house in Rich
mond, tinder the ofiicial sanction of the Depart
ment oi War itself, a grim and shocking cata
logue of several hundred prisoners then in con
finement therein, not one of whom was charged
with anything but suspected political intldeliiy,
anil this, too, not upon oath iu a slnele instance.
Before I could take proper steps to procure the
discharge of these unhappy men, the second sus
pension of the writ of liberty occurred, and I
presume that such of them as did not die in iail
remained there until the fall of Richmond into
the hands of the Federal forces.
THE EKLAKCER LOAN.
The celebrated Erlanger loan, the proposition
to enlist iu whick came to Richmond under the
sinit-ter auspices of Mr. John A. Slidell, seemed
to a considerable number of the members of
tbe Contederate Congress to be a speculative pro
lect, adroitly set on toot chiefly for the benefit of
llei-frs. Slidell, Benjamin & Co., their aiders and
abettors in the United States and in foreign
countries; and wo, therefore, struggled most
earnesily to defeut it by every expedient known
to parliamentary tactics. 3y the aid of tho celo
biated ten minutes rule and the sitting with
closed doors it v as finally carried by a some
what meagre niujoi Ity in the House. '
FOREIGN INTERVENTION.
The fact was verv well known to me that Mr.
Davis and his friends were confidently Uoklng
for toreign aid, aud irom several quarters. It
was stated in my bea.-ing repeatedly, by several
special friends or the Confederate President, that
one hundred thousand French soldiers were ex
pected to arrive within the Umitoof the Confede
rate States by way ot Mexico; while It was more
than rumored that a secret compact, wholly un
authorized by thu Contederate Constitution, with
certain 1'olish commissioners wh had beeu
lately on a visit to 1 ichmond, had been eueeted,
by means of which Mr. Davis would soon be

A Man and Pair of Horses Fall Over a
1'ieclpice.
An acclJent of a startling characer occurred
last Saturday forenoon, on the road leading from
Lake aveuue to Kelsey's Landing. Mr. David
Bruce, a teamster.in the employ ol Mr. Uollister,
was hauling a load of lumber up the hill upon a
bob-sleigh, and when part way up the hill, the
horses became frightened, at a stream of water
which waB running across" the road, ard began to
back. Mr. Bruce, who was walking by the side
of the sleigh, on the outside, was forced over the
ledge of the precipice and fell some distance,
landing Lpon a projecting ledge of rock. Tho
sleigh and its load of lumber caught avainst a
tree which stands at that point, but the forward
bob became detached and the horses rolled
down the declivity, a distance of sixty feet or
more. One of them w as killed and the other
badly wounded.
We learn with reeret that Mr. Bruce received
injuries which are likely to prove fata). At 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon he was lying in a
very low condition at his residence, No. 110 S.
Fitzhuch street. No bones are broken except a
small one in the foot, but he is terribly bruised
and is supposed to be hurt internally. He is
about lorty years of age, aud has a wife and six
children, the eldest ot whom is fourteen years
old. He is a discharged soldier of the 8lh New
York Cavalry. .
The road on which this accident haopened
was formerly known as Buell avenue, but it was
lormaity closed as a puotio tiignwa.v by a vote ol
the Common Council some two years airo. we
think. The cost of keeping it in repair was
assigned as the reason for closing it, if we
remember riehtly. It is used by very few people
except lumbermen and fishing pardes, and we
presume has had no work di ne upon it in a long
time, and tt so it must be in a dangerous condi
tion. Fifteen or sixteen vears ngo two drunken
men drove off the precipioi above the point
w here the accident of last Saturday hanneued.
They were in a buggy. The home was killel and
me ouggy smashed, out tne men escaped un
harmed. Jiocunter JJemocrai, Motulay.
