ABOUT "HASNIP.AU." —We last week chroni cled the death of the elephant "Hannibal," at tached to Van Ambu-gh & Co's Menagerie. It may be of interest to some of our readers to know something more of the hi?tory of this gi gantic animal. We La\e gone to some trouble to obtain fact? concerning his life, after much n search, have discovered that he was born in Southern Africa, in the year 1795. of ' obscure, but respectably large parents. Having attained his majority, he went into the business )of ivory growing, on his own hook, ia which . he was engaged until the year 1821, r-hen he was kidnapped and brought to this country. He was the largest elephant, of his size, ever i brought to Europe, or America. It is estima ted by Prof. Frost, that it has cost £50,000 to i feed him, since his arrival in the United States. The story that lie killed several of bis keepers, we believe to be without foundation in fact, and repel it as a blander upon his fair fame. At j any rate, those who indulge in such dispara ging talk, should have more respect for the old adage, u de mortuu nil nin bonum" —(angliee, 1 "nothing of the dead except a bone!")- Ir\\ ' deed, so far from beuig malicious toward his human companions, "Hannibal" is known to have indulged in frantic demonstrations of de , light at the approach of a former keeper whom he had not seen for many months, and it is re lated of him that he was so timid that a rat running through his straw bedding would cause him to trumpet in the most intensealarm. Hut j a driver of "Hannibal," a Mr. Crumb, was killed at Algiers, oppcite the city of New Or leans, whilst entering the town in procession, by the elephant "Columbus," which was march ing immediately Lehit.i "Hannibal," ihe two elephants belonging to different menageries, i wisich had come together at that place. The . j worst act of which • Hannibal" ean be accused, was bis celebrated raid on the road between Pawtucket and Fall River, in 1854, when, es caping from his keeper, he ran nine miles, de stroying everything as he went. lie was mod erately foau of whisky, bat detested tobacco. lie v.uS also susceptible to the influences of the tender passion, and a number of years ago. be ing thrown into the society of a coquettish fe male elephant known as "Queen Anne," he at once fell over-head- and -ears in lore with her. Xiin) occurred at Pittsburg, where two menag eries wore laid up for tiie winter, in a store house, up o n the bank uf the canal. This lore scrapc is thus described- 4 'They were fastened side by side, and an immediate attachment sprang up between them It was a case oflove at first right, fur the moment Queen Anne was brought into Haiinibai's presence, she ran her trunk into his mouth—the elephantine style of kissing. AH winter long they were continually caressing each other, and the demonstrations of mutual affection were really extraordinary. In the spring, Queen Anne was taken away to start upon her annual tour. The rage of Han nibal at this separation was terrific; for eleven days he refused to touch a morsel of food, the only nourishment he received during that time being whisky and water. By dint of contin ual swaying or surging against his fastening he succeeded in breaking loose on the twelfth day, when he took entire possession of the es tablishment. The animals in the cages were fearfufy frightened, dashing against their bars and tilling the air with their howls and shrieks. Hannibal raged around the building, reared on Lis hind feet and endeavored to tear down the rafters in the roof with his trunk, but molest ed none of the animals. In the meantime a large force of men was gathered—-steel hook? attached to long pole# were inserted in his ear? and shoulders, nnd after great difficulty he was "hobbled" and cast, when the customary dis cipline was applied with the usual satisfactory result. Queen Anne, who was of a more gen tle disposition, bore the separator! with exem plary resignation." Hannibal, although seven ty years i>£ age, was supposed to be still grow tng. But, aiac! he is cut down in his ear- ' ly prime, l'be grass w itkeretb, the flower fa deth and Hannibal rests beneath the clods of ; Cumberland Valley.

Tribune."] Secret Military Trials. • There Is a curious old document in existence, known as the Gcustitution of the I . btates, which formerly Lad the force and effect of law in that large portion country notspecial- Iv dominated by the slave power, h tiuer the rule cf our present Cabinet, it seems to have I gone out of fashion; and, since i\lr. Stanton's accession to the control of the War Department, it has become practically obsolete. Loyal eiti | z?ns did not much mind this while civil war con vulsed the country, threatening the perraama ; nerd overthrow of our liberty and nationality ; , but, now thai the war is practically ended, it ; seems high time that the old parchment were exhumed ..ad treated with some show of respect. . There being, apparently, no copy extant in the Federal City, we qimte from one in our poses sion, for the instruction and admonition of our i magnates, certain amendments proposed by the , States when ratifying the instrument, which, being duly approved and adopted, became an : iuiesral part of our fundamental law—as fol -1 lows: j ART. V. No person shall be held to answer for a capital or otherwise infamous crime unless on presentment or indictment of aGrand Jwy except in cases arising in the land or navalfor i ces, or in the militia when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor -hall any person be subject for the same offense to be t twice put in jeopardy of life or limb ; nor shall he be compelled in any criminal case to be a ' witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty or property, without due p. ocess of law, ; nor shall private property be taken for public | use without just compensation. .ART. VI In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been commuted, which district shall heve been pre viously ascertained by law ; to ba confronted with the witnesses against him; to Lave com • nulsorv process for obtaining witnesses in his I favor, and to hare the assistance of counsellor his defease. ART. VII. In suits at eommm law, wherein i the value in controversy shall exceed twenty i dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be pre ; served \ and no fact tried by a jury shall be j otherwise re-examined in any court of the U. i States than according to the rule of the oom ! men law. ART. VIII. Excessive bail shall not be re ! quired, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel | and unusual punishment inflicted, j We have made our citations full, not merely iin deference to the apparent inaccessibility of | the document at Washington, but because we | wished every reader to see that the passages ; we have placed in I lakes are not garbled nor ; picked, but that they are of the essence and vi tality of the Constitution itself. Being FO, how ■I can we justify, or excuse, or even keep silence ; with regard to. the mtutary trials just initiated . at Washington I A miscreant, acting in concert j with ether assassins, ha* attempted the life of j the Secretary of State, and, though his purpose j was defeated, he nevertheless severely wounded j Governor Seward, his oldest son, and tv.o or ! three others who nobly reaEied him. Of course, ; this villain and hie confederates should bestcrn jly dealt with; but why not according to law ? ' Wh it reason, what excuse, can be urged, to ! justify the sending of this case before a court martial and having it tried in secret? How j can such a trial be reconciled with the piain j provisions of the Constitution above quoted ! As to the military trial of those who con spired with Booth to ns-asrinaie the President, and aided to achieve that fell purpose, the out rage is not quite so flagrant ', but such trial is ! at best a blunder, while enshrouding it hi secre |cy is utterly indefensible. To try a doctor for 1 j his life, because he set a stranger's broken bone • ; and gave, or sold, or lent him a pair of ciutch \ \ es, may just do; but to try him iu secret, aF ( ' lowing no report of the testimony but such as the prosecution sees fit to make, is nothing less ' j than abominable. Two month* ago, it would '■ have been endured for the country's sakenow, . ' there is no reason that it should be. We warn r i all who take any voluntary part in these strange ' proceedings that the rebellion is suppressed, the i war at an end, and the right to suspend the : privilege of habeas corpus and make the will of a Secretary of War the supreme law of the ' laai has expired If our present Sesittary 'cannot be made to realize these grave truths, it • is high time he had a successor; and if our At torney General believes the assailant of Secre tarv Seward now "legally triable before a mil-, itary commission," he badly needs hisowntiuie j for the completion of Lis legal studies, while j the government needs a different law officer. ; There may be politer ways of setting forth these j convictions, but none of these would do them justice. ': Gentlemen of the Cabinet, the war eastward of the Mississippi is ended; the rebellion is sup pressed ; the Union is re-established, and peace virtually restored ; wherefore the people demand of you a speedy and thorough return to the safe and orderly ways of law and liberty. Do not | compel them to speak in tones that you cannot refuse to hear! Frovi the X. Y. Tvuti (Mr. Seward s Organ.) It is very posrible the publication of iLie evi- j dence taken on the trial of the conspirators at Washington might prevent the arrest of some persons implicated in the crime of assassination j who are now at large ; but their arrest must be | of very great importance indeed, if the fear of i their escaping is sufficient to justify the profound -eereey with which it has been determined to | surround the proceedings. The ckiei of Booth's , i accomplices, it is fair to conclude, aic those for ! w hose apprehension a reward has been offered —Davis, Tucker, Sanders & Co., and it is not ' pretended that anything which may transpire at j the trial at Washingt: n, will, in the least degree, j offset the chance of tneir escape. They and j ; thr friends have certainly been as much put | or. their guard by the FivSident's proclamation i as they are like to be by anything else that can i occur. j It is not unfair to conclude, therefore, that J [•"the parties wiio may e=cape, should publicity i | be given to the proceedings,' arc '■parlies" <-i an inferior degree of guilt, and now within the j limits of the United States, and if so, we can i not help faying that it -is fbr various weigh, v ! reasons to be regretted that their capture should be deemed either so important or difficult, ar, to be made the pretext or ucrosion of introducing j into our criminal procedure so extraordinary ;an anomaly as trial by a military commission ifor a capital offense with closed doers, and with j an oath of secrecy imposed on all persons tak-, i iiig part in the proceedings.' We think it would ; j have been infinitely better to have postponed the trial till a!! publicity could do no harm, even j if that period were likely to be six months dis i tant, than introduce into this country so novel I a tribunal, and one so repugnant to the spirit of our institution- - , that which is now itiir.g . at Washington. It is one for which no preced ent is to be found in the history of any fr country, and one to which the wcr.f European despotisms have rarely ventured, even in Po land or Hungary, to resort. Ever, the unhap py victims of the Irish rebellion were prepar ed fur the gallows in open court, and iu the , light of day. M v . cover, there are Mrong doubts entertained jby iii-aiTccted persons ... the North as to the existence of any good foundation for I he charges I made against Davis in the late proclamation, j Abroad, all the enemies of the government wiil certainly receive them with incredulity and de rision; and there is no question that, under all the circumstances, it would be difficult to im'g tne a position more humiliating and embarrass ing than that in which the government will stand, if it should appear that those charges J were lightly or frivolously made. Nothing will ' nrevent, however, the spread of such a presump- j ■ tion except the production in open court of the ' evidence on which they were based, and its sub mission to the scrutiny of the pr'eonerri coun-' sel and of the public at large. Those who uat- ■ ter themselves that public opinion, either at | home or abroad, will t>e much influenced by a version of it which has ban edited and expur gated by the Judge Hdvocate, must be very Am ple people indeed. Nobody will permit himself, whatever his leanings may hi, to attach any value to revelations made under conditions in which every rule of evidence is set at naught, , and even the experience cj every-day life tr eat- . ed iQfdh contempt. What makes the matter all the worse is, thai on the very day on which this tribunal begins its proceedings,-the state of things which alone ] could justify it, if anything could justify it, j Lad been formally declared at an enu by procla mation, under the President's hand and seal Foreign powers were warned th".t the war was over at the very moment that a tribunal was: assembling, for whoee constitution and procedure | i nothing but overwhelming and imminent uan i ger to the national existence would be a suffi- j cient warrant. Win they really believe that' peace has been restored when a most atrocious j j crime has to he tried and punished by a mill-1 ! tary court sitting in secret in the national cap- j i iiaf and in a country in which all secret things, j 1 and above all, secret trials, have always been j : held in abhorrence 1 Saturday's Subscription to the 7-30's, I $30,451,950.

WASHINGTON, May 13. Advices from Wilson's Cavalry force have ' just boon received in this city, announcing tiie i capture of Jeff. Davis and his family. His train was surrounded at Irwinsvillc, Georgia. Irwinsviiie is 75 miles south of Macon. The capture was effected by the cavalry that had been after Jeff.

NEW YORK, May 13. —The steamer Liberty j has arrived with Havana dates to tne Bth inst. They contain advices from the City of Mexico to the 27th ultimo, and from Vera Cruz to the 2d instant. The reported capture of Sa'tilh; and lion- : terey by the Liberals is confirmed. The papers also announce that the Liberals are gaming ground in every direction. A forced loan of Sioo.ooo has been imposed j on the French and Imperialists in Saltil'o and Monterey. It is expected that Juarez would establish his capital at Monterey. Maximillian on reaching Orizaba, heard of the fall of Hiehmond and the capitulation uL Lee, and hastened back to the C'ly of Mexico and despatched his chief of the Cabinet, Mr. Eioui, to the United States, who arrived in Havana in time to take the Corsica, 'lherc are various reports as to his mission. Dun J use liarron Fasheco ex-uiinister of state. 1 died ir. the City of Mexico on the 13th ult. The English Kailroad Company has sub-let a portion of their road from Vera Cruz to; Mexico to a French company, thusgi'.ing Fiance another claim on Mexico, and combining Kng-! li.vh and French interests. The decker fund 'is accepted by Maxima-, ion, and tiic §u.ooo,<>o are to be paid in sl,- j 000,000 annual installments. The Juarists had entered Pabzadn, and seiz ed all the war munitions held by the merchants. The infamous Col. Da pin is on his way for the State of Tabasco, with 400 men. A naval expedition is also on the way. Several of Maximilian's Governors have pronounced against him, and the semi-official journal, the Estajette, indicates that there is great opposition to Lira. Gen. M-jia liad announced that he covid not hold Matarnoras without assistance, ar:' forccm nts w-.re sent to h;ai. It is said that rebel deserters are j iumgCur tinas. There was a larye fire in Mntanzas on the ath inst., destroying Caball's lumber yard, the Mu nicipal College, and a private house adjoining. Messrs.

Later and fuller Pafticutirs from .Mexico. NEW YORK —Letters by the Liberty s'ute the Fmperer started out on his excursion from Mexico the 18tl, and on arriving at Orizaba the 22ik ult, received the news of the fall of Richmond, and the rumored capitulation of !>? '. Immediately all was confusion. Maxi milian hurried back to Mexico and sent Mr. Eioui, the chief of his Cabinet to proceed with all possible haste o the United States. He arrived in Vera Cruz just ia time for the Elder, and, on arriving her?, begged the Corsi ca to delay her departure an hour or so, which was done, and he. with several others who ac companied him, left in her. these passengers have not the vise of the L nited States Consul to their passports, either at Vera Cruz or at this place. American steamers under these circumstances are not al lowed to come to entry. It is quite possible that the United States Consul at Nassau will bo cajoled or surprised into giving bis rise to these passports. It is reported, and it seeias very probable, that Eloui & Co. are going to Canada, and are authorized to endeavor to stir up a b >rder war ! between that province and ourselves, Maxioul ! ian vainly hoping that that measure will pre | vent the Yankees from giving him any trouble, i Others say that these people go to spy out i the nakedness of our land, and that they will proceed to Europe with their information, for 1 Napoleon to undertake a war with us, with ; Mexico as a base. Others again say that Max never intended to stay after our war was over, unless the rebels gained their independence, and that his depart ure for Europe has been hastened by lateevetits in the United States, and Eioui Co. are sent to Europe to make preparations for h,s arrival. There are so many accounts about the matter, however, that nothing is known with certainty. The Empress Charlotte took charge cf the i Government during the temporary absence of ! Max. The English railroad company who run the railroad from Vera Cruz to Mexico, have sub ! let that portion of the road between i'aao del ! Macho and Malt rat a to a French company. ' This is supposod to be a political move, giving j France another claim on Mexico, and combining ' English and r\er.ch interest in ihat claim. We get news from Tabasco and Isla de Car : men to theßth ult. The Juarists of the former i piace had entered Pa'zado (I da de Carmen) and : taken from the merchants their stocks of guns, i sabres, ammunition, etc. A nephew of Do ! miri* Dice was killed, and a Mr. Badillo was i carried away, those being the only ivyo who I made armed resistenee to the proceedings of the Juarists. One hundred sutd twenty-five officers that were at Oaxaea have joined the Juarists at Tabasco. Among them are two Generals. The menace so long held in terroreiii over the State of Tabasco, that the infamous Co!. Dupin would be sent there, seems about to be carrie i out, as he is reported to be -en route there, with 500 of Itis friends. Commandant Clone, also, was with him, taking four armed launches and 400 men for landing A private tetter from Vera Cruz, which is believed to be true, gives the following item : "General Mejia sent a steamer to Vera Cruz j for reinforcements and assistance, saying he could only hold Matamora3 four, at most five days longer. The steamer was driven off by a Norther, and was eight days in arriving. A French war steamer, with men, &c., was im mediately sent, and we are anxiously awaiting later news from that place. It is said that de serters from the Confederate forces in Texas arc crossing ever and joitdng Cortioas, which is breaking up the friendship Mcjia and the Im perialists bad for them, and a retrenchment in the courtesies which have lately* been extended has hem noticed."
