From the Memphis Appeal, August 31.
A reporter of the Appeal held an inter
view yesterday with Mr. Davis at to his
recent speed at Whlto Sulpher Springs.
Mr. Davis ,alJ his speech then was im
promptu, and ho thought it strnngu that
"a few remarks addressed to n few frluMds
and associates, upon h subject which be
tween them and myself them could bu no

It thoru any well inlormed man who will
nut sny that hud thu armies known what
a suriunder would bring they would and
could havu continued thu struggle, and
that thu peoplu of tho country as long as
they had any fool would havo contributed
It freely to'tho support of tho armies ?
And that tho contest would havocontimied
until tho invader, wearied of what might
bo regarded us an ondless struggle, would
havo returned, and, in tho language of
Gon. Scott, havu allowed the "erring (Is
tors to go in pcaeo.''
In answer to r. question regarding tha
word "cheated,' ihed in hi tpuucli, ho
said : "Of course tho idea convoyed by tho
word "cheated ' wns that tho people of thu
South wore dcroived by assurances given
them by tho L nlted States government,
through its II1cIh1s, into tho 1 eliof that if
they laid down their arms they would bo
restored to all the advantages" and privi
leges of citizenship which they had previ
ously enjoyed. The trials of a long war
had made all men desirous for tho u'Ho of
pcaco. It was thus alone that tho word
could bo fairly construed. Men who had
been reared under tho constitution of tho
United States, and knew how almost en
tirely their domostic iniorests we.ro prop
erly under tho lontrol of their stato gov
ernment, could naturallv feel but little an-
prehension of thu exerclso of power bv tho
general government If thuy knew "that
government could bu restrained within its
constitutional limits."
The reporter thon asked .Mr. Davis if h
thought tho South would havo beep able
to prolong the war another year or two,
in ordur to snvo itolf from" the consu
quencos which havo followed upon tho sur
render, could they havu foreseen thosu
consequences ?
Mr. Davis Thev would Imm nml.-in...
od the war by withdrawing moro into the
interior, so a to compel thu enemy to
lungiuoii ins lines 01 communication, and
it was tho opinion of 11 soldier
more, and onu in whosu ludL-oinent ihn
greatest rolianco was placed, that in thu
mountains of Virginia a defensives war
could havo bouti continued lor twentv
years.
