THE KFFKCT OF MR. DAYHS'
SPEECH.
As might have been expected opin
ions differ ou Mr. Jefferson Davis'
opeech at Montgomery on the occasion
of laying the corner stone of the Con
federate Monument to the Alabama
soldiers who .fall in the war between the
States. As fur us wo have read the
Southern journals nro solid in pass
ing unqualified encomiums on tho per
formance, excepting the Louisville
Courier-Journal which has recorded its
exception and has "thrown a sop to the
Northern Cerberus." We characteri
zed the speech, iu our last issue, as a
rather brief one, and that what Mr.
Davis did say neither speaks bitterness,
nor breathes treasonable sentiments, nor
glows with novelty, while there was a
vein of commendable moderation perva
ding the whole which finds expression in
liis concluding words, which the Charles
ton News-Courier remarks were uttered
in the same spirit a; those in which Ccu.
llrant closed his eyes upon a reunited
country :
GRANT. —As I have 3tatcd, 1 am
thankful for the providential extension
of my tune to otiablc me to continue my
work. lam further thankful, and in a
much greater degtoo thankful, because
it has enabled me to see for myself the
happy harmony which has so suddenly
sprung up between those engaged but a
few short years ago in deadly conflict.—
Gen. ti 'rani's dying worth at Mount
McGregor.
DAVIS. —In conelusu>n permit me to
s'iy that, though tuo mcnuv.y of our
glorious past must ever be dear to ns,
du'y points to the present and future.
Alabama having resumed her place in
the Untdli, be it youis to fulfill all tho
obligations devolving upon all good cit
izens seeking to restore the general gov
ernment to its pristine purity, and as
best you may to j remote the welfare
and happiness of your common country.
Speech of Ex President Davis at \.loni
go Mry, .11*1.
The New York Sun in its somewhat
fulsome notice of the speech,—or whal
appears so to our oiiud, says:
The rpcech of Mr. Jefferson Eavis
possessed cjery qua'jty which could add
to the distinction of the day. It was
elevated in feeling, strong iti reasoning,
dignified in manner and powerful in its
effect. Considered as an iutcllectual
effort, it is not too much to say that it
was a gTeat speech.
Secretary of 'nterior is Lauiar said
to be "much concerned"' in regard lo
the Davis speeches and the Davis ora
tions. lie is imported by the l'hiladel
phia News as having said :
"The effect m the North will, he
thinks, be to rekindle hostile feelings,
which had almost died away, and he
fears the sparks fanned into life again bj
Davis will be blown into a blaze for
campaign purposes by Republican poli
ticians. The terms iu which Davis i
J,;nouti by Northern Democrats ex
haust all tho vigorous Anglo-Saxon
phrases of indignition ami anger."
"One of thejqncer Southern Idioms
used by Attorney General Garland in
giving his evidence the other day was
the substitution ot tho ward 'rock for
'stong.' lie said he would rather jump
jnto tl;e st v. th a 'mill-rack' about his
neck than do something or other that
be hsd been accused accused of doing.
•Stono' is a tabooed word in the South.
It i 3 not rc id in the Southern Bible
that St. Stephen was stoned to death,
but that he was rocked to death. The
people liro in rock houses; never in
Stone ones. A bit of mineral no bigger
than one's thumb-nail is as muuii rock
to the Soutbcrooi as Gibraltar itself.' -
Buffalo Kx| r ss.
The \Y iluiiugtou Si;.r a commenting
on ihe above says :
"There is something in this. l!ut it
is 9 mistake to suppose that there are
not thousands of educated Southerners
|»ho know tho difforcnoc in the two
words ana who nso them correotly. It
is very easy to show Northern "idioms"
as well as Southern. Many of that Id
jiinglodi words are preserved in the
South of wl.L.'i :lic North knows noth
ing. But in the Scriptures both words
are used. Stone and rock arc liible
terms. Does the Express know th' j
difference between pclr.t and petros» If !
it does not it should investigate But
how large does a stone became before it
is a roek ' Or where is the line to ~i>c
drawn when you may say roek instead
of stone?'
V e think that mere, mas* or bulk docs
not define tb • difference between the
words rock and stone. \Vo wou'd say
that a rock ;s a large nia-s of stone
matlor, either imbedded in the earth or
lying on its surface , and when it be- i
come 3 broken itp as in blasting, and j
removed for building, for example it is I
called slono. It is true, however, that I
in popular language, very large masses '
of stone arc called rocks, and small
masses arc called stones whether lying
in their natural position or not. Mineral
ogis's, however, slasa all mineial sub
stances under tho term roek, whether
they arc speaking of a bed of coal, or
salt, or iron ore, or a roadside pebble.
As tho Star remarks many tiid English
words, or meanings of words have been
preserved in the South of which the
North knows nothing tint Inve been lost
in the old country. The same maybe!
said of old English meanings of some'
words among which may bo mentioned
tho worn likely as applied to external
appearance, in which instance likely is
equivalent to handsome: as a likely man, I
a likely woman. Webster does hot!
scera to have known that this meaning|
of likely  had been Introduced into;
America. He gives pleasing as one j
of the meanings of this word, and re- j
marks that the English and their dc
scendents in America differ in the ap- j
plication. The English apply the word |
to external appearance, and with them j
likely is equivalent to handsome; a
a likely man, a likely horse. "In
America the wor 1 is sometimes applied
to the endowment-of tlio mind, "r to
pica ling aucompi'shm v, i."
Advices from Athens Wroeco, May
7, state tnat; - All the foreign ministers
excepting the Uu-ian late e nbai k. d
on the vessels of their rc-peclive nations
to depart from Greece. The Russian
minister lias ngi vet reeeived Jiis in-'
structioiii Tlio powers have given
orders to their fie • to blockade the
Greek ports,"
This withdrawal uf the fori mtuis
teis foic shadows a war in which all
tho powers i f Europe will be involved.,
The Raleigb News-Observer says
The present attitude ol billigcroney, •
iftcr all that has been said and done,'
leads to the conclusion that a war is'
about to occur which will involc all'
Europe. Greece will attack Turk y.|
The powers will undertake to u.rcc the
little kingdom into obedience to their I
will. Russia will call a halt and France '
will advance to the support of the Czar ,
Then will ensue a contest between the
two great powers already named on the
one side and Knghind, Germany and
Austria on the other Tin; whole world 
will feel the shock, but we iu America
will look on with a certain degree of
equanimity in view of tho fact that we ;
shall have to feed and clothe the conten-!
ding armies at a rate of payment alto
gether satisfactory.
