Even such deep-seated and stubborn complaints as Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout, and tho like, are thoroughly eradicated by lie use of this wonderful alterative. Dodge, lio West 125 th street, New About two years ago, after suffering for nearly two' years from rheumatic gout, being able to walk only with great discomfort, and having tried various remedies, including mineral waters, without relief, I sum- by an advertisement in a Chicago impel- that a man had been relieved of this distressing complaint, after long suffering, by taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla.

I then decided to make a trial of this medicine, and took it regularly for ei.jlit months. I am pleased to say tor- ir effected a complete cure, and have since had no return of the disease." Mrs. A. Stark, Nashua, N. writes: "One year ago 1 was taken ill with rheumatism, being confined to my house six months.

I came out of tho sickness very much debilitated, with no appetite, and my system disordered in everyway. I connm-ncei. to use Ayer's Sarsaparilla and began to improve at once, gaining in strength and soon recovering my usual health. I cannot say too much in praise of this well-known medicine." "I have Lilian a great deal of medicine, hut nothing has done me so much good as Ayer's Sarsaparilla.

TUTrLK. JEFFERSON DAVSS. THE AUTOBIOGiIAPHY Of THE CONFEDERATE PRESIDENT. Birth anil Early E.incation—Service In tlisn Sao War-8-milifr nntl Secretary of Glance at Hie HiNlory or Beifoid's Macula, for January I was born June 3, 1808, in Christian county, in that part of It which, by a subsequent division, is nw in Todd county. At this place has yinoe arisen tbe village of Fairview, and ou the exact ppot where I was born has bee" constructed Ihe Biptist church of the plate.

My father, Samuel Davis, was a native of Georgia and served in the War of the Revolution, fiist in the "mourted gunmen," and afterwards as cap tain of infantry a' the siege of Savannah. During my infancy my father to Wilkinson county, Miss. After passing through the couutv acadeny I entered Trausvaal College, Keutucky, at the age of sixteen, and was advanced as far as the senior class, when I was appointed to the United States Military Academy at West Point, which I entered in Seprember, 1824. I graduated in 1828. and then, ia accordance with the custom of entered active service with the runic of lieute serving as an officer of Infest-? on Northwest ftontier until 1353, when, a regiment of dragoons having been create.

1 I was tranferred to it. After a pnccessful cimpaign against, the Indians I resigned from the army in 1833, being anxious to fulfill a longexisting engagement with daughter of Colouel Taylor, whom I married, not 'after a rom as has so often been stated, but at the bouse of her aunt and in the pi.sence of ter relatives, at a place near Louisville, Ky Then I became a cotton-planter in Wr.rren county, Miss. It was Diy misfortune early iv my married life to lose my wife, i ud for many years hereafter lived in seclu -ion ou the plantation in the swamps of the Missis sippi In 1843 for tic firFt time, took nart in the political life of the country. Next year I was i.hosen one if the presidential electors-at-large of the State, and in ihe succeeding year was electeel to Congress, taking my seat in the House of Representatives in December, 1845. Tbn proposition to terminate the joint occupancy of Oregou and tbe reformation of the tariff were the two questions arousing most public attention at tbat time, and I took so part in their discussion, especially ia that of the first.

During this period hostilities with Mexico commenced, and in the legislation which tbe contest rendered n.cessarj my military education enabled me to take a somewhat prominent part. In June, 184G, a regiment, nf M-esicsippi voidu Uers rr urbanized at Vicksburg, of which 1 was elected colonel. Ou receiving notice of the election I proceeded to overtake the regiment, which was already on its way to Mexico, and joined it at New Orleans. Reported to General Tay or, then commanding at Cimargo, my legiment, although the last, to been de tamed for some time on duty at the mouth of tbe Rio selec ed to move with the advance upon the city of Monterey. The want of transportation presented Gen eral'Taylor from taking the whole body of volunteers who bad reported therefor duly.

Mississippi ieuh-nent was armed entre ly with percussion rifles, and here it may le interesting to Fin that General Scott, iv Washington, endeavored to persuade me not to take more than enough for four companies, and obj e'ed particularly to parcussion arms, as nt haviug been sufficient lv tested for the om of troops in the field. Knowing that tbe Mississipiians would bave no confiderco in the flint-lock mnskets, I insisted on their Uiftig armed with tbe kind of 'ilia then recently made at New Haven, Conn Whituey rifle. Prom having been first used by the Mississippians, these rifles have always been known as the Mississippi rifles. In the attack on Monterey General Taylor divided his force, sending one part of it by a circuitous road to attack the city from the west, while be decided to lei-d in person the attack ou the east. The Mississippi regiment advanced to tbe relief of a force which had attacked Fort Leuaria, but bad been repulsed before the Missisvippians ar rived.

They carried tbe redoubt, and the fort which was iv rear of it surrendered The next day our force oo the west side car ried successfully this height on vhicb stood the bishop's palace, which commanded the city. On the third day the Mississippians advanced from the, fort which they held through lanes and gardens, skirmishing and driving enemy before lhem until they reached a two-story bouse at the corner of Ihe Grand Plaza. Here they were joined by a regiment of Texans, trom the windows of tbis house tbey opened fire on tbe artillery aud such other tioops as were in view. But to get, a better position for firing on tbe principal building of tbe Grand Plaza it was necessary to cross the street, wbich was swept by canister and grape, rattling on tho pavement like hail; and as tbe street very narrow it was determined to instruct flying barricade. Some long timbers were found, and with pack saddles and boxes, which served tbe purpose, a barricade was constructed Here occurred an incident to which I have since frequently referred with pride.

Iv breakingopen a quartermaster's store bouse to get supplies for tbis barricade the men found bundles of tho much-piized blankets and also of serviceable shoes and pack-saddles. Tbe pack-saddles were freely taken as good material for the pro posed barricade, and one of my men, as his shoes were brokeu aud stones had hurt his feet, asked my permission to take a pair from one of tbe boxes. Tbis, of course, was freely accoidtd, but rot oneof the very valuable and mucb-p-ized Mexicaa blankets was taken. About the time that the flying barricade was completed arrangements were made by the Texans and Mis-issippians to occupy houses on both of tbe street for the purpose of more effective fire into the Grand Plaza. It having been deemed necessary to increase our force the -Mississippi sergeant major was sent back for some companies of tbe First Mississippi, which had remained behind.

He returned with the statement that the enemy was behind ns, that all onr troops bad been that orders had been three times sent to me to return. Governor Henderson, of Texan, bad accompanied the Texan troops, and on submitting to bim the question what wo should do va der tbe metsage, be realized, as was very Dl.iin, tbat it was safer to remain wbere we were supports having been with return across streets where we liable to be fired on by artillery, and across open grounds, where cavalry might be expected to attack us. But, be added, he supposed tbe orders came from the general-in-chief, and we were bonod to obey them. So we made dispositions to retire quietly, bnt in passing the first square we found that pur movement had been anticipated and tbat a battery of artillery was posted to command the street. Tho ar rangement made by me for crossing it was 'hat I should go first; if only one eon was fired at me then another man should follow, and so on, another and another, nntil a vol'ey should be fired, and then all of them should rush rapidly across before the guns could be reloaded.

lothism.nner the men got across with little loss. We then made our way to tbe suburb, wbere we found that an officer of infantry, with two com panics and a section of artillery, had been posted to wait for ns, and in case of emergency to aid our retreat. Early next morning General Ampndia. 1 tha Mexican force, sent in a "flig and asked for a with a view to capitulation. General Taylor acceded to aod appointed Geaeral Worth.

Governor Henderson, and myself commissioners to arrange tbe terms of capitulation. General Taylor received Ihe city of Monterey, wish supplies, much Deeded by bis army, and shelter for the wounded. Tbe enemy gained only the ptivilege of retiring peacefully, a privilege which, if it had not been ace irded, tbey had the power to take by any one of the three roads open to tbem. The point beyond wbich they should withdraw was fixed by the terms of capitulation, aud the time during which hostilities were to be suspended was determined ou by tho length of time oecsssary to refer to and receive answers from the two Governments. A few days before the expiration of the time so fixed the Government of tho United States disapproved of the capitulation and ordered the truce to be immediately terminated.

By this decision we lost whatever credit had been given to us generous terms in tbe capi: illation, hostilities were to ba resumed without any preparation having been made to enable General Taylor, even with the small forco he had, to advance further ioto the enemy's country. General Taylor's letter to Mr. Ma.cy, Secretary of a very good response to an unjust criticism; and in the Washington Union of that time 1 also pub ished a very full ex plantation of tbe acs of tbe commissioners, and of tbe miliiary questions involved in the malter of capitulation in prefereuce to continuing the siege aid attack. General Taylor, assuming that it was intended for him to advance into the interior of Mexico, then commenced to prepare himself for such a campaign. To this end he made requisitions for the needful transportation as well as munitions, including, among other supplies, large India rubbeb.gß in which to carry provisions for d-ys, and wbicb, bsiusr emptied before we reached the desert of sixty miles, would, by being filled with water, enable his troops and horses to cross tbose desert plains.

These ai.d other details had been emered into under the expectation that the censure of the treaty of Monterey meant a march into the interior of Mexico. Ano her thing required was a new battery of field pieces to take tbe pUce of the old Rincgold battery, which by long service had become honey combid. When all these arrangements were nearly Completed it was dec ded to send General Scot', wish disoretiooary poweis, which enabled bim to take nearly all tho tried troops General Taylor had, includiog even the engineer theo employed in the construction of a f.irt, and the battery of new guns to replace the old ones, which were deemed no longer s.fe, but which, under the iitrepid Captain Bragg, afterward did good service in tbe battle of Buena Vista. General Taylor with tho main body ot his army went to Victoria, aod tbeie made arrangements to send them all to report to General Sontt at Vera Crnz, except, the small force he considered himself entitled t. as an escort on his lou'e back to Monterey through an unfriendly peop'e Tbat escort consisted of a battery of light artillery, a squadron of dragoons, and the regiment of Mississippi With these he proceeded through Monterey and Saltillo to Aqua Nueva, where he was joined by the division of General Wool, who bad made the campaign of Chihuahua.

General Santa Anna, commanding the army of Mexico was informed of the action which bad been taken stripping Geneial Taylor of h'B forces, and was also informed that be had at Saltillo only a handful of volunteers, wbich could easily be dispersed on the approach of an army. Thus assured, and with the prospect of recovering all the country down to tbe Rio Grande, Santa Anna advanced upon Aqua Nueva. General Taylor retired to tbe Angostura Pass, in front of the hacieDda of Buena Vista, and there made his disposition to receive the anticipated attack. As sage as he was brave, the dispositions were made as well as the small force at his command made it, possible After two days of bloody fighting General Santa Anna re tired b.fore this little force, the greater part of which had never before been under fire. The encounter with the enemy was very bloody.

The Mississippians lost many of their best men, for each of whom, however, they sew several of the eDemy. For, trained marksmen, tbey never touched tbe tiijger without having an object through both sights, and they eidom fired without drawing blood. The infantry against whom the advance was made was driven back, but tbe cavalry then moved to get in the rear of the Mississippians, and this involved the necessity of falling back to where the plain was narrow, so as to have a ravine on each flank. In this position the seoond demonstration of the enemy's cavalry wap received. They were repulsed, and it was quiet in front of the Mi-sih-ippiaug until an aide came and called from tie other side of the ravine, which he could not pass, that General Taylor wauted support to come as soon as possible for the protection of the artil cry on the right flank.

The order was prompt ly obeyed at double quick, although the distance must have been nearly a They found tbe enemy moving in three lines up the batteries of Captain Braxton Bragg and the section of artillery commanded by George H. Thomas. The Mississippians came np in line, their right fl ink opposite the first line of the advancing enemy, and at a very short range opened fire. All being sharp-shooters, those toward the left of the line obliqued to the right, and at close quarters and against three long lines very few shots could bave missed. At tbe same time tbe guns of Bragg and Thomas were tiring grape.

The effect was decisive; tbe infantry and artillery ol the enemy imme diately retired. the close of the day Santa Anna bugled tbe retreat, as was supposed, to go into quarteis, but when the next sun jo.c there was no enemy in onr front. The news of this victory was received in the United States with a degree of enthusiasm proportionate to tbe small means with wbicb it was achieved, and generosity was exalted by the feeling tbat General Taylor had been treated with Then forward tbe march of 'Old Ready" to the White House was a foreg'jc i conclusion. In battle, while advancing to meat the enemy, ilien pressing some of our volunteers on the left of the field nf bit'ls- I received a painful wound, whicli wa rendered more severe in consequence rs-'iDaining in the saddle all day, early in tbe A ball Vad passed through tbe foot, leaving in the Otoken bones acd foreign matter, tbe delay had made it impossible extract. In consequence I had to torn crutches.

In the Ims a senator of Mississippi bad died, aec. "wtioi had appointed me bis successor. Before my return home President Polk had also appointed me brigadier general of volunteers, ao appointment wbich I declined on the ground 'bat volunteers are militia and tnat the Constitution reserved to the State the ap nointment of all militia officers. This was in 1847. In January, 1848, tbe Mississippi Legislature unanimously elected me United States senator for the rest of the unexpired term, and in 1850 I was re elected for the foil term as my own successor.

In tbe United States Senate I was chairman of tbe Military Committee, and I also took ao part in the debates on the compromise measures of 18..0, frequently opposing Sena'or Douglas-s. of Illinois, in his theory of squatter sovereignty, and advocating as a means of pacification tha extension of tbe M'S3 mri compromise line to the When the question was presented to Mississippi as to whether the State should acquiesce in the compromise legislation of 1850, or whether it should join the other Southern States in a convention to decide as to the best course to pursue in view of the threatened usnrpations of the Federal Government, I advocated a conve ition of the southern States, with a view to such co-operation as might effectually check the exercise of constructive powers, the parent ot despotism, by the Federal Government. The. C3nvass for Governor commenced that jear. The candidate of the Democratic party was by his opponents represented to hold extreme olher to be a sunionist.

For, although bo was a man of high character and bad served tbe country well in peace and war, this supposition was so artfully cultivated that, though the Democratic party was estimated to be about 8,000 in the election occurred in September the Democratic candidates for a convention were defeated by a majority of over 7,000, and the Democratic candidate for Governor withdrew. The election for Governor was to occur in November, and I was called on to take the pi vacated by tbe candidate who had withdrawn from the canvass. It was a forlorn hope, especially as my health had been impaired by labors in tbe summer canvass, aud there was not time before the approaching election to make such a canvass as would be needed to reform the ranks of the Democracy. However, as a duty to the party, 1 accepted the position and made as active a campaign as time permitted, with the result tbat the majority against the party was reduced to less than 1,000. From tbis time I engaged in quiet farm labors until the nomination of Franklin Pierce, when I went out to advocate his election, having formed a very high opiuion of him as a statesman and a patrio.

from observations of him in 1837 and 1838, when he was in the United States Seoa'e. On his election as President I became a member of his Cabinet, filling the office of Secretary of War duting his entire terra. During these four yeaia I proposed the introduction of camels for service on the western a suggestion wh'ch was adopted. I also intioduced an improved system of infantry tactics, effected the substitution of iron for wood in gun-carriages, secured rifled muskets and rifles and the us. of Minie balls, and advocated the increase of the defences of the seacoast by heavy guns and the use of large grain powder.

While io the Senate I had advocated, as a military necessity and as a means of preserving th. Pacific territory to the Union, the construction of a military railway a til mm the continent; and, as Seoretary of War, 1 was put in charge of the surveys ot tbe various routes proposed. Peibaps for a similar previous action in the was also put in charge oi the extention of tbe United States Capitol. The administration of Mr. Pierce presents the single instance of an Executive whose Cabinet witnessed no change of persons during the whole term.

At its close, having been re elected to tbe United States Senate, I re entered Ibat body. During the discussion of the compromise measures of the refusal to extend tbe Missouri compromise line to tbe Pacific was early put, ou the ground that there was no oonatitutional authority to legislate slavery into or out of any Territory, wh'ch wag in fact and seemed intent a repudiation of the Missouri aod it was so treated in the Kansas-Nebraska bii'. Subsequently Mr. Douglas, the advocate of what wai -called squatter sovereignty, ins'Sted upon the rights of the first immigrants into the Terrifory to deolda upon tbe question whether might take their slaves with them; which mi an-, if it meant anything, that Congress could authorize a few settlers to do what it was admitted Congress itself could not do. But out of this bill arose a dissension wlrch finally divided the Democratic party and caused its defeat in tbe presidential election of 1860.

And from this empty, baseless theory grew the Iliad of our direst woes. When Congress met in the fail of 1860 I was appointed one of a Senate committee of thirteen to examine acd report on some practicable adjustment, of the controversies wbich then threatened the dissolution of tbe Union. 1 at first asked to be excused from the committee, but at the solicitation of friends agreed to serve, avowing my willingness to make any sacrifice to avert tbe itapending s'ruggle. Tbe committee consisted of men belonging to the three political divisions of the Senate, tbe Siate-rights men of the South, the radicals of the North, and the Northern Democrats, with one member who not acknowledge himself as belonging to any one of the three Mr. Crittenden, an old-time Whig, and the original mover of the compromise Wben the committee met it was agreed thai, unless some measure wbich would receive the support of the majority of each of the three divisions could be devised it was useless In make any report, and after many days of anxious discussion and a multiplicity of propositions, though the southern Srate-rigot.

mPn and tbe northern Democrats and the Wbigs (Mr. Critt6rdon) could frequently agree, tbey could never get a majority of the northern radicals tj unite with them in any substantive proposition. Finally tbe committee reported their failure to find anything on which the three divisions could unite. Mr. Douglas, who was a member of the committee, defiantly challenged the northern radicals to they wanted.

As tbey had refused everything, he claimed tbat they ought to be willing to tell what proposed to do. When officially informed that Mississippi bad passed the ordinance of secession I took formal leave of the Senate, announcing for the last time the opinion I had so often expressed as to State sovereignty, and, as a consequence of it, the right of a State to withdraw its delegated powers. Before I reached home I had been appointed by the convent ion of Mississippi commander-inchief of ils army with the rank of rnsjorgeneral, and lat once pro ceded with the task of organization. I went to my home, in Warren county, in order to prepare for what I believed was to be a long and severe struggle. Soon a messenger came from tbe Provisional Confederate Congress at Montgomery, bringing the nnwelcome notice that I had been elected Provisional President of the Co federate But reluc tant as I was to accept the honor, and carefully as I had tried to prevent the possibility of it, in the circumstances of tbe conntry I culd oct refuse it, and I was inaugurated at Montgomery, February 18,1861, with Alexander H.

Stephens, of Vice President. From this time to the fall of the Confederate Government my life was part of the history of the Confederacy and of the war between tbe States. It is to fi low it in detail. In tbe selection of a Cabinet I was relieved from a difficulty wbich surrounds that duty by the President of the United States; for there were no "sections" and no "par: ty" distinctions. All aspirations, ambitions, aod interests had been merged in a desire for Confederate NO.

22. In my inaugural address I asserted that necessity, not choice, had led to the seoes sion of tbe sontbern States; tbat as an agri cultural people, their policy was paace and free commerce with all tbe world; tbat tbe constituent parts, not the system of govern ment, had been changed. The removal of the troops trom Fortress Monltrie to Fort Sumter, the guns of which threatened tbe harbor of Charleston, and the attempt to throw reinforcements into that doubly breaking the pledge that matters should be kept in statu quo constituted tbe occasion as well as the jus tification of the opening of fire upon Fort Sumter. Speedily following this even came the call for a ltrge army by Mr. Lin coin and the secession of other southern States as tbe consequence of this uumistakabte purpose of coeroion.

Virginia, which had led in the effort, by a peace conference, to avert national inio, when she saw the Constitution disregarded and the purpose to compel free States by military force to submit to arbitrary i passed ao ordinance of secession and j.iutu tbe Confederate States. Shortly after this, as authorized by the Provisional Congress, 1 removed tbe Confederate capital from Montgomery to Richmood. Among the many indications of good-will shown when on my way to and after my arrival at Richmond was tbe purchase of a very fine residence in Richmond by leading citizens. It was offered as a present, but, following a rue that had governed my action ie all such declined to accept it. I continued to live in Richmond until the Confederate forces were compelled to withdraw from the defences'of the capital.

Tbat event was not quite it occurred before the conditions were fulfilled under wbich Geo. Lee contemplated to retreat. After Gen. Lee was forced to surrender, and Gen. Johnston consented to do so, I started, with a very few of the men who volunteered to accompany mo, for the but, hearing oo tbe road tbat marauders were pursuing my family, whom I had not seen sine, they lefc Richmond, but knew to be route to the Florida coast, 1 changed my direction, and after a long and hard ride, found them encamped and threatened by a robbing party.

To give them the needed protection I travelled with them for several days, until in the neighborhood of Irviuville, when I supposed I could safely leave them. Bui bearing about nightfall that a party of marauders were to attack the camp that night, and supposing them to be pillaging deserters from both armies, and that the Confederates would listen to me, I awaited their coming, lay down in my travelling clothes, and fell asleep. Late in the n'ght my colored coachman aroused me with tbe intelligence tbat the camp was attacked, and I stepped out of tbe tent where my wife aod children were sleeping, and saw at once that tbe assailants were troops deploying around the encampment. I so informed my wife, who urged me to escape. After some hesitation I consented, and a servant woman started with me, carrying a h.cket as if going to tbe spring for water.

One of the surrounding troops ordered me to halt and demanded my surrender. I advanced toward the trooper, throwing off a shawl which my wifa bad pat over my shoulders. Tbe trooper aimed his carbiue, when my wife, who wituessed the aet.rusbed forward and threw her arms around me, thus defeating my intention, which was, if tbe trooper missed his aim, to try to unhorse him aod escape with his horse. Theo, with every of petty pill ige and offensive exhibition, 1 was taken from point to point until incarcerated in Fortress Motiroe. There I was imprisoned for two years before hfing allowed Ihe privilege of the writ of habeas length, when tbe writ was to be issued, the condition was in posed by the Federal Executive that there should be influential in the "Republican" party of the North, Mr.

Greeley being specially named Entirely as a matter of justice and legal rig! not from motives of personal regard, Mr. Greeley, Mr Gerrlt Smith, and other eminent northern citiz-n went on my bond In May, 1887, after being released from Fortress Monroe, I went to Canada, where my older children were with iheir grand mother; my wife, as soon as shared ray imprisonment, and brought our iafant daughter with ber. From time to time I obeyed summonses to go before the Federal Court at Richmond, until finally tbe case was heard by Chief Justice Chase and District-Judge Underwood, who were divided in wbich sett the to the Court of tbe United State's, and the pvocet-difigs were quashed, leaving me without, the opportunity to vindicate myself before tbe highest Federal court. After about a year's residence in Canada I went to England with my family under an arrangement that I was to bave sixty days' notice whenever the United States Court required my presence. After being abroad in England and on the Continent about a year I received an offer of appointpointment as president of a life insurance company.

Thereupon I returned to this country and went to Kemphis and took charge of tbe company. Subsequently I came to the Gulf coast of Mississippi as a quiet place wbere I could piepare my work on "The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government." A friend from her infancy, Mrs. Dorsey shared ber home with me, and subsequently sold to me her property at Beauvoir, an estate of fire or six hundred acres, about midway between Mobile aod New Orleans. Before I had fully paid for this estate Mrs. Dorsey died, leaving me her sole legatee.

From the spring of 1876 to the autumn of 1879 I devoted myself to the production of tbe histotical work just mentioned. It is an octavo book, in two volumes of about 700 pages each. I have also from time to time contributed essays to tbe North American AVricic and Beljord's Mmgmiimt, and bave just completed the manuscript of ''A Shoit History of the Confederaie ittea of whioh is expee'ed to appear early in ISSIO. Since setiling at I have persistently refusid to take auy aclive part in politics, not oiere'y because of my disfranchisement, but from a belief that such labors could uot be made to conduce to the publio to the sectional hostilities manifested against mo since the war. For the same reason I h.ve also refused to ba a candidate for public office, although it is well-known that I could at any time have been re elected a senator of the United Stales.

After the luncheon served at Delmooico't. in dining rooms on the third floor the members their friends adjournsd to the larga pirlor and di.cused this question: "Is tha popular belief relative to the domestic infelicity of literary women well founded, and what is the origin ofthe opinion?"
