One-eyed Jeff". This is another nickname for President Davis as written in book The Language of the Civil War by John D. Wright on page 216.
"A rude nickname for Jefferson Davis, who had a chronic eye infection causing virtual blindness. One Confederate soldier in General John B. Hood's army, when retreating after the battle of Nashville, moaned, "Ain't we in a hell of a fix, a one-eyed President, a one-legged general, and a one-horse Confederacy!"
