The Government requires all duties on imports to be

SWORD PRESENTATION
TO CAPT. SAMUEL T. DAYIS,
The following eorrespondonee will
he read with great pleasure by the
friends of Captain Davis:
CAPTAIN - SAMUEL T. DAws:,---Your
friends—the citizens of Shaver's Creek
Valley—have pitrehased 11)1• you a
handsome and appropriate present—an
elegant sword. It is :t token of theii•
respect for the services you have ren
dered your country, in this,
her time
orgreatest need. : As have been your .
companion. both :as a citizen and in
arms in defence of the Constitution, it
has been requested that I represent,
those loyal citizens and present you
this sword.
To the President's 6rst call for vol
unteers, after the assault on our flag,
which waved over that bravo little
band in Fort Sumpter, you manfully
responded; and ever since the 23rd
day of April, 1861, you have been
contendiog for right and justice, a
gainst. the rebellious hosts of the south:
Your friends at home have carefully
watched your actions, being their rep
resentative
.in this
. great struggle for
the Union, with anxious eyes, and they
have thought the present ft proper time
to manifest their appreciation of your
services rendered your country, by
tendering to you this present.
From limo immemorial it has been
the custom to make presents to friends
for any personal good they may have
done, hut in this instance, tho donors
have been prompted by higher and
more honorable motives : it is a re
ward suitable for such brave mon who
have sacrificed the society of home and
friends, to expose themselves, to the
fatiguing marches and hardships of a
soldier's life. •
Our army and navy call for brave
and good men to buckle on the armor
and go forth in the face of the enemy.
Onquering and to conquer, and there.
by show to the world that right 'must
and will conquer and that a free Re
publican government is self-sustaining.
Captain, aceept this sword, and
wield it, as you have over done, in the
defence of our glorious and blood-stain
ed stars and stripes, our Constitution
and the enforcement of all our laws,
against the enemies of our common
country, both secret and public, re
membering that they (enemies) as
well as your friends are watching your
actions. Wield its trusty bled& so
that they will never regret their gift;
and when this "cruel war" is over, you
may return, bearing the laurel wreath
of honor, and the olive branch of peace
on your sword, to your home and
friends, respected and honored, while
those sneaking, skulking Southern
sympathizers, of whom we have so
many, will be avoiding the presence of
all those true and noble men who have
braved the .dangers of war, that we
might enjoy peace once moeo.
It is not necessary for me to speak
of many different engagements in
which you have been, as I sod the
names of the principal battles engrav
ed on the scabbard, and they will
speak lbr' themselves,. The four last
mentioned have bedf roaght, since
came to this Department, and, altho'
not being immediately with you, I can
frilly testify of the bravery there shown
At Chickamauga's bloody ! field, under
that withering fire, you escaped with
your WI), but with the loss of many II
brave contrade,,and yourt rusty sword,
w hich, no doubt, some rebel is carry
ing this day,—let him haVejt, but
should you be again called on to face

ne'er sheathe it until the last•battle is
fought and sweet liberty won. .
W. WALLACE &MET, •
Qr. Mr, Sgt. CH. B, 15th P. V. Cay.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Dee. 25,.'63.
WI ITESIDE, Tenn., San. 1, 1864
SIR reply to your letter of the
25th Dee:, 1803, it beennits my pleas
ant duty to acknowledge the receipt
of a handsome 811 bro,the present of the
citizens in Shaver's Creek Valley :
I fully appreciate the worth of so
valuable a gift—not for 'the intrinsic
value of the weapon itself, but the
principle which prompteo the donation
is only a fractional part of that great
principle which Characterizes America
aiid American institutions.:
It is the proudest thimght of my
life to know that while r have a con•
sciominess of doing my dUty as an of
ficer and a soldier in our country's ar
my, r am respected and my services
appreciated by my fellow-citizens at
home. As a soldier I claim to have
,done nothing but ,my, duty—a ditty
which I owe to the land of my birth,
and to renerations.yet unborn.
The principle in human-nature that
embraces, freedom and
a corna despot
ism. prompts me to act lnsustaining,
even et the , sword's end,Jhe pillars of
what 1 believe to be the best Govern
ment: on the globe. Although the
sands of the Western continent have
licked up the blood of thousands of
her inhabitants, slain in mortal com
bat, and cast a gloom over our once
happy country, there are bright pros
mots hi the future for AmeriCa.
Kingdoms and empires Will shake off
their shackles, acknowledge her great
ness, bow at her footstool, and emu'•
Into her examples until the united
world recognizes the blessings of lib
erty an, the godlike blessings of re
publican institutions andhuman equa
lity.
Words fail to exPress my thankful
ness to you, my fellow-citizen:4lov the
honor which you have so lavishly be
stowed upon me; and, while I patient
ly pursue the enemies of our common
country, and endure the hardships of
Camp, campaign and battle, I will ever
be stimulated to new deeds of honor
and encouraged by the recollection
that the trusty blade at my side - is the
gift of my follow countrymen, who
haver sent me to battle, as did the
Spartan mother tier son, and' expect
me to return "t% ith my shield, or on
my shield."
I need not attempt a review of the
signs of the timeS, though the late sue
cusses of our victorious arms, suffice
to say, have greatly advaneed the in
tevest of our country., and the most
scrutinizing eye cannot but -see that
the insurgents must soon yield to the
strong arm of the go vet timent.
Notwithstanding, there is a mighty
work yet to be accomplished, bloody
battles must be fought, and the coun
try must undergo 1/ radnal change
from a state or war to that of peace,
belbre bworda "nit be changed into
prunirik hooks, and iron clads to Mer

concluSion, permit Me to say to
those young Men who are leisurely en
joying the comforts of home while the
clangor of war is resoundinglrom val
ley to valley, that this is not an two of
dollars and cents. Throe hundred dol
lars may buy the services which an
American owns to his country, but a
battalion of cases, with all their finan
cial. adroitness, could not prosecute the
war wholly with "Greenbacks." 'Tis
low* lines, steady fronts, and Many

We must have soldiers to carry on a
successful wurfitre, as well as money.
Again assuring you that the trust

Jeff. Davis's Body Servant in Wash
ington.
. WA.BIItNaTOST, Jan. 25, 1864.1---That
featUre if the war, the intelligent and
trtistworthy contraband, who has 'dis
appeared from public view for the last
few months, reappeared in the city
this morning, and his information has
boon considered of . .tio much importance
as to have occupied many hourS of the
attention both of Geu. Halleck and of
the Secretary of War. He is a full
negro, named Jim Dennison, other
wise Pemberton, who has been for
nearly twenty years personal body
servant of Jefferson Davis, and is Well
known as such bylhe old residents of
this city. He only arrived this morn
ing, and brings news of a most impor
tant character, though it all comes in
the thrill of strong incidents, such as a
servant waiting at. tables would nat
urally pick up. Of the domestic men
age of J efr. Davis, his pictures aro ve
ry full. Bat first to give the Points
which appear of great public
: interest.
He says that Jefferson Davis, iu pri-
Nato conversation, is unreserved in
urging the abandonment of Virginia,'
as a line of defence no longer tenable.
That he has heard Mr. Davis, in con
versation with confidentiahnembers of
the eo called,GoVer moat, declare •fro
quently that 'Virginia had .boon ,used
tor all it, was worth, that it had proved
a shield of immense value, in leading .
off the devestationa of war from the
rice and cotters States, 'which were the
heart and body politic of the new gov
eminent. Steps have been already ta
ken on various pretexts of their labor
being needed on the public works to
send all the valuable ablo•bodied no
groes and breeding negro women from
Richmond along the railroad to Lynch
burg, and . also south into Georgia,
which Mr. Davis declares to be the
iiext base of defensive operatiOns.—
But Gen.'Lee, whom Jim describes as
looking very his hair now
snow-white, is peremptorily opposed
to the abandonment of Virginia, and
declares that Virginia soldiers will lay
down their arms, if their State be giv.
on up to the Yankee despotism.
The talk is not about going to Co
lumbia, S. C., but to some city in Geor
gia. Jim heard gentlemen ask Mr.
Davis at the table, whore Alexander
Stephens was; who has not attended
Congress this session, and who is , said
not to, have visited Mr. Davis's house
or office fbr over a year. Davis re
plied, that ho had lieaid that Stephen's
had gone to Europe, but had not
thought it worth while to inquire what
had become of him.
Jim accompanied Davis in his recent
tour around tho Confederacy; and de
scribes the following scone an haVing
matured on the summit Of Lookout
Mountain. Looking down one bright
day from the lofty eminence command
ing a clear view into four States, .and
a very distant view into a fifth, Davis
'saw the yankees almost beneath his
feet, across the valley, working like
beavers on their fortifications:
have them now," said ho, "inn just the
trap I sot for them." To which Lieut.
Gen. Pemberton, who was sitting on
horseback beside him, replied, "Mr.
Davis, you are Commanderin-Chief,
and you are here. You think the en,
emy are in a trap, and can be captured
by vigorous assault. I have been
blamed for not, having ordered a gen
eral attack on the enemy when they
were drawing around me their lines
of eircumvalliition at Vicksburg. Do
you now order an attack upon those
troops down there below us, and I
will set you my life that, not one man
of the'attacking column will over come
back across that valley, except as a
prisoner."
When Davis Was passing through
North Carolina ho only stopped at
Wilmington to consult. with Gen. Whi
ting. While there he was pressed by
a numerous delegation of Confederate
office-holders to stop in Raleigh fel;
consultation with Gov. Vance., This
ho angrily declined. It appears that
the health of Mr, Davis is rapidly brea
king down under his neuralgia attacks
insomuch that he can no longer use
his only , :ood eye by candle light.
Always of a violent and &alai tem
per, this is hecoMing greatly aggrava
ted by his misfortunes, and Jinn de
scribes hint on one occasion as fling
ing about the chairs and furniture
when so disturbed. About, four weekti
ago a pistol exploded in his room when
he was loading it. and the whole fam
ily rushed up, feeling confident that,
as they had long decided, he had Om
mitted.suicide.
Jim says that Mrs. Davis, in conver
sation with female friends, frequently
talks of the Confederacy as hopeless,
and is loud in regrets for the lost plea
sure's of Washington. There is no for
age except in the Mississippi Depart
ment, and the allowance' for Mr. Da
vis's two horses is two quarts of Corn
each per day, on which, says Jim, they
aro growing thin.
M.r. Davis receives no 'company--
has no wine in hie collar, but has sev
eral kegs of brandy sent from block=
ade runners at Wilmington. Jim says
that Mr. Davis told him that the Yan
kees had killed all the people whom
they found on his Mississippi planta
tion, and that they were all found ly
ing higgloty piggloty in a hole, their
legs and arms cut off,,and in some ca
ses, their heads bloody and beaten,
protruding from the ground. .
The utmost distress prevails in Rich
mond for food, there.not being • more
than two or three beeves killed in the
city per day for private consumption:
Fresh beef was about 84 a pound when
he left. For a string of three' perch,
weighing less than a pound each, ho
paid 813. Oysters were $25 a quart;
as ,they - could only be obtained' in the
night on account of the Yankee'occit
pation' of the James River with . gun.
hoses.
TERMS, $1,50 a year in advance.
The negroes are forbidden • to_ go
,
near the Libby Prison, and 'he believes
.
there are black soldiers confined' there
.as hp has been them at a distance.
.-Beauregard is known to have black
prisoners at Charleston, who .are re
ported to be subsisted on thembiimuin
ration that will support life. Re says
the lower two-thirds of Charleston is
now uninhabitable and in ruiris -
Jim says that, at :the time of Mead's
advance across the Rappahannock and,
tight at Id.ine Run, Lee had made ev
ery preparation to fall back, having.
only 20.000 ragged and diSheartened .
troops with him. Davis sent out all'
the clerks and employees of the Quar
termaster's Department with axes and
spades to block'up the :Mechanicsville
and Petersburg. roads leading to Rich-
mond, leaving open only one road by
which Leo was expected to make his
retreat, he having sent word to Davis:
that he was making all the foss : and
disturbance he Could to detain Meade,
but that he could not hold out long .
The negro appears intelligent,: and
evidently knows whereof he affirms.:

While no library in America has. yet

more than thirty in' Europe, 'which
have passed that figure. Some of these
it is true, are merely repositories of
ancient and mediaeval literature,. with
a considerable sprinkling,of the

of the last century, and but few tunes

Such, for the most part,: 'are_ the ,nu

scarcely creditable that - tWo. libraries
