Lizzie and sister Sarah and little Sarah went up and took tea with Mrs. A. S. Bailey.  Jeff Davis' inaugural address is received.  It is one tissue of falsehood and misrepresentation.  May our land soon be delivered from all such traitors.  The southern papers denounce Davis' war policy and call for aggressive movements.  I am inclined to believe that the south are very far from being united in sentiment.  Many of them gladly welcome the old flag.
