. . . the afflicting
dispensation of Providence which removed from this world a beautiful child of
President Davis. It has created a void never to be filled, but the deep
sympathy of a whole country with the afflicted family may in some measure
mitigate their grief. We learn from the Richmond papers that the funeral of
little Joseph Davis on Sunday last, from St. Paul’s church, was attended by one
of the largest gathering of the citizens of Richmond that any of the events of
the last three years have called together.—It was a tender and silent
expression of the sympathy and regard of a large community for the President
and his family. The whole country will join in condoling with the distressed
family.
