SINGULA U DOCCXEXT FOr.ND OH THE BODY OF A DEAD RElifcL. For reasons, which may pos!LIy at some future period be 'made public, a mi nute and detailed account of the maniicr ia which the following fame into the pos session of the author is hcie dispensed with. Still, however, to prevent the sus picion arising that it is a mere lubrication of the brain, we will state that the docu ment containing it was found inclosed iu n letter taken from the dead lody of a rebel courier alter the battle of Kumney, fought some time fiuce by Colonel Kelly. ThVs letter was directed to a well-known citizen of Cincinnati, whose name we also refrain from giving, at least for the pres ent, liy some fatality, the bearer had stepped over night at the Confederate Camp, at llomney, doubtless intending to resume lia journey on the morro'V ; but the met row's dawn found him a mangled, difcuiug corpse. The writer, a distant relation of the Cincinnatian we have men tioned, was at the time confidential Secre tary to Davis, and, from the strong lan guage u-ed in -the letter, evidently held the conviction that to use hi.s own words "'this man Davis is sold to the Devil '." lie concludes his epistle thus : "And my dear W , rest assured that I will, at the first opportunity, follow this letter to my dear old home and flag. Like a very large majority of the Southern people, 1 have been, I must confess, terribly misled by Davis and his doctrines.- T. 11. A." Dut even on this authority, we forebore issuing the "Confession" until we recently heard of the very sudden and very mysde rious death of T. 11. A., the private Sec retary. This, however, coupled with the news that ha.3 since been received, and believing, as we. do, that the publication at this time of Davis' Letter or Confessioti will be beneficial to the people at large, v:c have resolved to put it forth, leaving all, of course, to form their own judgment and opinions concerning it. Cincinnati prqcr. To tlic American People. Richmond, Va., 18bl. Fellow Count-ymc n : It is with .feel ings pei haps the newest and strangest that ever agitated the human heart that I no'.v address to you the following language. Ere I proceed, however, I wih it distinct ly understood that what I am about to Fay 1 say to the JL eople, the Masses, ot both North and South, and not to'thc Senators, the Representatives, the Political Leaders of either section. Arid of this latter class I warn you, Americans, and mark you well this prediction :. If ever the Republic of the United States is destroyed, it will be destroyed by its Political Leaders. jNly injured countrymen, 1 do not hope for an instant by what I shall herein say to awaken within you a single ypark of pity- or sympathy. I know that I deservo neither; I know that I deserve only your curses, only the bitterest maledictions of your mothers, your wives, and your little ones, for the blood and tears with which my reckless course has drenched nearly every hearthstone in your once happy land. I cannot, however, now retrace my step3 j the die is cast ; I have taken the plunge; and with me all is lost. The terrible game, which I have been playing for a lifetime, has gone . against me for even thus early in the contest, 1 perceive, at least, my own eventual and utter defeat. tllud I won,. I would, within five years from now, have made inyaelf Emperor of j 1 Ameiica, and my Raiiic would have gona ' EBENSBURG, PA.? THURSDAY, JULY down through all future ages as the foun der of the most powerful and magnificent empire the world ever saw. But, as I shall lose, my memory will descend to the end of time a synonym of the darkest and worst passions of the human heart. So be it I deserve it all. The only approach that I am able to make toward a reparation of the terrible injuries I have inflicted upon the Ameri can nation is to make a clear and truthful confession of the course I have been pur suing since childhood toward them, wish ing and hoping thereby to save them from future danger like that which now threat ens them. "While yet a boy, pursuing my studies in Transylvania University, I happened by accident to become possessed of a high ly colored and glowing history of Xapoleon and h'a campaigns. The perusal of this volume fired my heart to the highest pitch of ambition, and I resolved to be the 13o napavte cf the Western Hemisphere. Though comparatively young, I plainly perceived that the acquirement' of a vast amount of general information, unceasing labor of mind, and some definite plan ot action were essential to the attainment of this object. I commenced immediately, therefore, as a base for all future opera tioms, a thorough study of all branches of science and literature which I thought would aid me, and, at every opportunity that presented itself, I would listen atten tively to the conversation, dtbates, or speeches of men from whom I judged I might learn anything. I soon became convinced that the surest, and in fact the only avenue to the favor of Americans, was either that of Politics or the Army. Accordingly, at my own urgent request, I was in 1-4 removed frum Transylvania University and appointed a cadet at Wct Point. During the four years" 1 remained iu the latter institution, besides pursuing the regular, allotted studies, I bestowed diligent at'.entiou upon others that 1 deemed equally necessary to my inten tions, (iraduating, and icceiving the brevet rank of Second Lieutenant in June, lS'JS, I was ordered to the Frontier, wherrj for seven years I underwent the practical education of a soldier. Doing satisfied at the end of this time that I had gained all the military knowledge I required, I re signed my commission June 31, and returned to Mississippi, professedly with the sole purpose of cultivating cot ton. My real object, however, was to secure that quiet and seclusion which would enable me to" master the subjects of political history and economy, especial ly as applicable to the United States. From the time T left the army until IS 13, I was scarcely known beyond the limits of my own plantation. Dut in that year believing 1 was fully ready to put to use the materials I h id been accumu lating for twenty years I publicly ranged myself under the banner of the Democrat ic Part', which party was at the time ac tively engaged in preparing for the ensu ing Presidential Campaign. My reasons for choosing the Democratic party were, 1st. because I saw that in the coming election it would gaiu the ictory; and 2d, because the term or name Democratic is alone one that must always tickle and please the ear of the Masses, where lie the greatest number of votes. Undoubt edly, the surest way of annihilating the Democratic party, as a party, would be to change its name, or divide it against it self. As some of you, my countrymen, doubtless remember, I made such headway that I was chosen Presidential Elector on the Polk and Dallas ticket in 1844, and the year following took my seat in the House of Representatives. Now it was that, after twenty years of labor, I was about to have the opportunity I had so ardently yearned fur, and in the debates that arose concerning the Oregon and Tariff questions I took a prominent part. Rut my mott strenuous dibi ts were made in regard to military affairs, and particu larly the Mexican War preparations. In July, 184.(3, the sword was put in my grasp by my ch etioti as Colonel of the 1st regiment of Mississippi 'Volunteers, better known as the "Mississippi llillus." Re signing my seat in Congress, I- accepted the weapon which, though seemingly drawn in defense of my countiy, has really always been unsheathed against her. At the head of the Rifles, I followed Gcneial Taylor from tho Rio Grande to Ruena Vista's strife; and I sincerely now regret that my bones were not lelt whitening beside those of my brave Rifles upon that terrible field. Rut, miraculously unscathed by its dangers, I returned from the Mexican Campaign only to apply myself more dil; igently to. tho accomplishment of the grand object of my life the destruction of the Union upon the ruins of which my intended throue was to have its found ations. I hoped fO fjnally compass this end by the discreet agitation of threu great cpuestionsr 1st. States' Rights ; 2nd. Slavery; 3d. Party. I was convinced that if I could, at exactly the same time, get these dangerous topics deeply exciting the whole American nation, at least a temporary estrangement, if not an actual collision, would result between the States. This in turn must agitate every kingdom in Europe, but more especially England and France, who, envious of our commer cial prosperity, and increasing power as a nation, would, to weaken us, immediately recognize as an independent power that portion of the Union whose ' institutions promised to most closely resemble their own! Upon the defeat of Fremont in 185C, and the boast of the Republican party, that they would elect the next President, I carefully surveyed the whole field of action, and found that the greater number of chances certainly favored such a con clusion. At the same time I saw that tho Presidential contest of 18G0 must bring all my movements to a climax. In 1S0U, therefore, I must either fail or succeed in my grand scheme, and accordingly my utmost energies were bent during the ensuing four years to the ta-dc. As every doing of the Rachanan ad ministration, no matter how trifling, has been well trumpeted through the land, it is unnecessary for me vow to recapitulate its acts. Rut there are two facts that even the sharpest and most astute have never suspected. They are, 1st. that the division of the Democratic party was really accomplished by my influence ; and 2nd; that the election if Abraham Lincoln was insured by my money, as well as by my influence." All worked well I bus far, fur, as I supposed, Lincoln, who is, I know, an honest man, and a man of unflinching determination and courage iu whatever course he conceives to be the right one, immediately, upon coming to the Presi dency, announced hh intended policy, which I was aware would unite the South, and, as I had calculated, at least one-half of the North. Rut here was my first ir reparable disaster : the North presented, after but a momentary vacillation, a firm, unbroken front to the tide that I had ex pected to roll, with but little resistance, over the Union. This prompt and unex pected unanimity of feeling in the North ern States has insured the linal destruction and scattering of my pdot and hopes ! Had this been otherwise, 1 would quickly have made myself master of AY'ashington, New York, St. Louis, and other great cities North, and, through the influence of my emmissaries abroad, would, imme diately have had the Southern Confeder acy acknowledged, and thus forced Europe to fight for us. Rut, as regiment after regiment came rushing to' Washington in response to Lincoln's Proclamation, this hope was dispelled and the tide turned against me. From that time I was de feated, but I shall not quit the field till death finds me, and then this document will perhaps reach you, my injured countrymen, of both North and South ; and to its concluding paragraphs I then earnestly commend your attention. When the dark clouds that now lower over your fair land from Maine to Texas shall have cleared away, and the flag of Washington and hi3 compeers shall again be triumphant, then, my countrymen, see to it that your preparations for the great future be properly made. Settle amicably, people cf both South and North, the vex atious question of Slavery. It will, with out doubt, be impossible to do away with Slavery suddenly, or within a short period of time; but, as you value the happiness of your children, the generations yet un born, get rid of the incubus at your pnvliost ftnnortunitv. There can be no doubt that, further to insure the unity and preservation of your government, the principle of States' Rights must, wherever it comes in contact .with the Federal interest, be abandoned. And lastly, and most important cf all subjects, and one which should constantly be before the American masses, is that of Party. While ever suffrage is allowed to all, so long will party spirit and rivalry exist. This party spirit and rivalry, also, must natu rally increase, until at last, under the adroit management of unprincipled and ambitious Political Leaders, it must, unless checked in some manner by the working men, themselves, bring total destruction upon the government that fosters it. Now, the only true and sure method which the masses have to keep party under control, is to spread as much general and useful intelligence as possible among themselves and their children. There is at this ver time, notwithstanding all the noise we hear concerning it,' not one American in one thousand who really knows what the Constitution says, or vha it does not pay, and, tho ratio Is even still smaller of those who have in their memory teu pages of American History. If, Americans, you really value your future liberty, and that 24, 18C2. of your children, build more public schools, scatter all over the land copies of the Constitution, and full and complete His tories of- the United States. Thus will every one be enabled to decide important political questions for himself, and be free from the shackle that demagogues would seek to fasten upon him. These words doubtless sound strangely, coming from my lips, but. they are true. Of course I should never have uttered them had n:y plans succeeded ; but, as England or France has not already ac knowledged us, they will not do so, at any rate, under the most favorable circumstan ces, until next winter, and although they may then give the Federal Government much trouble, may even, with the assis tance of other European nations, crush it, it w 1 do neither myself nor the South any good, for in case ot such an occurrence, the United States, torn and divided as tney win then be, must lall belore such powerless at the feet of conquering rovalty. In th:s case 1 shall only have been the self-constituted cats-paw of Europe, and go minus tne rewaru. ji u come to mis, 1 shall be crushed under the ruins of - ii.wu.-iu a lemp.e, v, men nu oui eu:?, my countrymen, will be my monument i .t. . :i. .'ys i am cutiawca onu lorever ruined, however, it wrecks net to me, for by the time this reaches you, I shall be at that bar whose dec-Lions are just and irrevoca ble. Wishing, once more, that I had fallen on Racna Viita's bloody field, and thereby won your lasting praise, and wishing also that my example may serve to warn vou in the future of Politicians and their wilrs, I bid you farewell. Jrrn:r.fcox Davis. This document was securely sealed and endorsed : " To Lc ojxwl atcr my dcatli.. "Jkffhrsox Davis." The Pennsylvania. Reserves the llecent IZattles. in A war correspondent of the Philadel phia Press writes as follows concerning the participation of the Pennsylvania Re serves in the recent struggles on the Pe ninsula : "On Thursday, June 20, we were told to get ready for review by Gen. M'Clcl lan. Tho boys accordingly brightened up, and got everything in order, when the sharp report of a Parrot! gun told us there was work at hand. Soon the rattle of rumdvetry was heard, and we were ordered to get ready to support the 1st and 3d brigades. We immediately started out, the rebels meanwhile amusing themselves by shelling us from the other side of the river, as we marched along. We went iutothe fight about four o'clock, and kept it up until nine, when firing ceased on both sides, as if by mutual consent. We slept on the ground where we had fought, with nothing to disturb us but an occa sional shot from the outer guards. During this engagement we were about seventy five vafds apart. The bullets came in a perfect hurricane, aud the shelling was the most severe we experienced during our trying time. "We had been contend ing against 45,000 men, according to the statement of a prisoner, since confirmed by f-crocs of the "gray backs" we captured. At three o'clock next morning, (27th,) we opened on them again, and then slow ly retreated to the position at Gaines Hill,- a distance cf six miles, where we were joined by the balance of Porter's corps T annce. Up to this time we hud about 8,000 men, of which about 200 had been killed, wounded, and missing. "The enemy pressed us closely, and we had barely got into position when they made one of their impetuous charges on our right, but they were repulsed in gal lant style. The fight was kept up for about two hours, when the armies com menccd maneuvering, the 'rcbs findinfr it impossible to successfully attack us. They still outnumbered us two to one. About this time the Reserves were ordered to a position, as a body of reserve, to atr tack at tho decisive moment. At 4 o'clock the order was :ivcn, "M'Cali's divi-ion on the lino," ar-d, amid the howl ing of shells and the whistling of bullets, we marched to the front. Our regiment was on the left, then on the rir,ht, then on the ritrht centre, and fii Snallv was placed on the lelt centre. Here we were ordered to lie down, and here we suffered terribly. We were barely twenty yards from the enemy, and the grape and canister was howling awfully. We drove them until about six o'clock, when "Stonewall" made hi.s first appearance, and fell on our left wing. He succeeded in flanking ivs, aud planted a battery o as 'to enfilade our en- tire'line. - Thi battery he lost j but the 2d -Maine- and 4th Michigan broke and broke our line. We could not' stand it : ! they outnumbered us now four to one, and ' they were fresh, whiUt wo were warn out NUMBER "44. by our day-and-a-halfs fighting, and h&H ly any sleep. We fell Lack, and wcro met by the Irish brigade, when we turned and drove the rebels off the field at the point of the bayonet. "They received further reinforccmenlF, but we held the field until next morning when we crossed the Chickahominy and blew up the bridges. We then took a rest, and next morning started for tho White Oak Swamp. Everything was decent and in order; we saved our bag jrage train, which was nearly twenty miles long ! After wo had placed the swamp between us and our pursuers, we halted,, and a short halt it was. The rebels now had another column, directly from Rich mond, of about 100,000 men, bearing on our left. Add to thi3 that our entire array was not yet united, and ycu may imagine how "bine" it looked. We 1-ad. however, succeeded in mnkinj the river. where, the gunboats could co-o-eratc with ftil back about one-and-a-half miles, and cho.ee our nosltion Anr iViv'.a. jon on the fourth line of battle I eras telling ns that we wouM nc our pen- not be ''rut in unless absolrtely rcccfyary. We did not wait long before the rebel cdumri I . . . advanced on the Lrst line, and a!mot tho (irst command issued w.i. "M'(M1 to tho front." and doubhw,! ; charged them nrd at .Ml ! it wer.t. Wo the rcint rf tho j bayonet Irov2 them from the ground thrco j times, when we foil lack, and fresh troops toot our place. I he enemy finally with drew about dark, and next morning wo again fell back, and united our whole army near the river, at City Point. Here, with great pomposity, they a-ain attacked us, on the 1st of July. "Little Mac" himself commanded, and it would have done your heart good to gee them ".skeedaddle." This engagement ended in a total rout. Here we took a brigade of "rcbs," and a motely crew they were all drunk." Maj. Lyman, our provost Marshall, tells mo that all the rebel prisoners turned into his hands are drunk. This accounts for their fighting fo recklessly, J presume. We again took the line of march next day, and came to this place. The Con federates planted a battery on a hill and commenced throwing shells into our camp. Our guns did not reply, but a division took a little walk cf about five minutes, and without firing a gun, quietly relieved them of their pieces, and took the soldier in charge for safe keeping. They had seven small pieces, and a good stock of ammunition." An Ingenions Prajer. The following very singular prayer, says an exchange, was made by Jolm Ward, of Hackney, England. The doc ument was found in Ward's own handwri ting. It is one of the examples on record of men combining in themselves tho utmost fanaticism with the total abseuco of anything like feeling : "O Lord, thou knowest that I have my estates in the city of London, and likewise that I.havejately purchased an estate iu fee simple in the county of Essex; I be seech thee to preserve the two counties of Middlesex and Essex from fire and earthquakes ; and as I have a mortgage ia Hertfordshire, I beg thee to have an eye of compassion on that County, and for the rest of the Counties thou mayest deal with them as thou art pleased. O Lord, enable the banks to answer all their bills and make my debts on good men.
