The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer Rives the following account of the whereabouts of prominent exiled rebels: In respect to the prominent exiles, there have been dispatches published touching their intended m Yemen's which had no foundation hut gu-aa work. It bus been, for example, broadly stated that Slidell, Benjiimin, Duvlsand Dudley Mann were all making ready for their re turn, in' consequence of tills amnesty.— As for Mr. Davis, he is much more-likely to return, now that the amnesty is to be disregarded, than if his case at Richmond had been dismissed. As fortheotberex iles, I have been posted up to some ex tent touching"‘their means and future prospects, aa well us wishes. The most anxious one to return, probably, is Gen eral Breckinridge, of Kentucky. lie has a large family, and is poor—has nothing at all, in fact, but his profession as a law yer, which is of little use in making a living abroad, and X know that on every account he has been anxious for a long time to return. Probably no man more candidly “ accepts the situation,” ip eve ry sense of the word, consistent with per sonal honor. He would have been buck long ago, but he did not like to encoun ter personal indignity. Bomeof his lead ing friends have advised him to return at once, but he is a tmm of great caution, and is Just as likely as not to waitlintil he cun see how the laud lies, and the temper of the incoming administration toward him. Old James M, Mas*«n must be now over seventy, and at that time of life local attachments urq unusually strong. He thinks, like all Virginians, that the O d Dominion is the.finest part of the ,world, and would prefer greatly to live there to anywhere else. He bad a moderate competency at the close of the war, arising from some property of life wife, and, though too old and infirm to earn a dollar by personal exertion, was thus put above the necessity of labor. I se« it slated that he is about to return to hi** ol i home at Winchester, In the Val ley of Virginia. Ho will be able to find the place, doubtless, and meet many old friends, but one thing ho will not see, viz: his old homestead. The Federal troops completely destroyed it, leaving not one stone upon another. Old Jubal Early, M’‘jor-General to Lee and Stonewall Jackson, he who stormed Winchester in the campaign of 1863. imd burned u part ol Chumbersbuig in retail; ation for Hie burning of Jackson, Miss., and oilier places, went abroad at t he close of tin- war. and has remained by choice an exile. I don't remember whether he accepted a parole or not; I think he did, but most certainly be did not “accept tlio situation.” He is u proud, defiant, mo Inkling wan ; slow to take a position, uid very tenacious of it when once ta ken. He was uu original Union .mpp, and ob-limne)y resisted secession until Mr. Lincoln’s proclamation was issued, * and then he went for secession, and tlie Confederacy might have had an aider, but certainly no stouter so’dier or more steadfast adherent. He lived before the war in the country south of the James River, and X suppose must have managed to save some little property from* the wreck. I should take him to be about the last man iu the world to make a cent in a foreign laud. JXis brief book on the Virginia campaign of 1864 is prononnc’d by Lee's staff, and 1 believe is considered by Lee himself, as the only, book of any real value on the Confederate wide ; it is certainly very terse and perspicuous, hut the nature of the man is shown bv ih fact that lie gave the copy-risrht to help the memorial associations of Virginia in collecting and marking the graves of (he Southern soldiers who fell on the battle-fields of that State. Said he:— “ perhaps I might have made something by a sale of the work ; but I wanted to keep clear of all suspicion of writing a book for money.” And thus proud, but manly and sincere, old Jubal hangs out on the Canada side of the frontier, occa sionally writing a letter about the war, as, for example, the other day, to prove that Jackson never proposed the night attack, bowie-knife and bare arm and breast business—which the Muse of Hls- p )r y«Lthat “lying bitch,” as Watkins Leigh called her—has attributed to him. 1 think old Juba! will come back at his leisure when tbe fit takes him and his money gives out. A man must have a good deal of meanness in his nature, be he Radical, Democrat or Southern, not to sympathize with such a nature. As for Jake Thompson, of Mississippi, who used to be Secretary of tbe Interior undeftßuchanan —many years before in Congress a rigid economist, General Agent of the Confederacy iu Canada in 1864—he would have came back long ago but for the miserable Hu Holt and Stan ton got up between them about his being accessory to Lincoln's assassination. Hu is no longer rich as he was formerly, but is, I believe, in easy circumstances. I am sure that he would greatly prefer to return w.heu he cun do so safely, and go to planting again. He has no ambition, and nays that he and men of h is age in ust give way to the younger meh ; but he is still f>r from being obi, and is still a man of Vigorous, healthy, active intellect. Mr. John Slidell Is iu Paris, and has been there at his hotel in ti«e Rue dc Ma rignan since 1861. At tbe time he was sent abroad by the Confederacy to mam age their relations with Louis Napoleon, and he expected to stay abroad a consid erable time, and knew the'-uncertainties of war—being a long-headed man—he look abroad with him a considerable amount of property which he had con verted- Hence, though advanced in life, be has been pretty lazy, and is not starv ed out by the confiscation of his Louisi ana property. One of his daughters was married to Emile Eriangor, ho who took. E. C. ALLEN, Augdsta. Maine. LET IT PASS. TIIK EXILED UEOEDi CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 1869 the European Confederate loan; his ami has a career In (he French army; the family adore Paris, and, on the wiole. except to transact some personal busi ness, I don’t believe Slidell would care to return. The easy, hobnobbing life of Pans agrees with him. Lewis T. Wigfall made his way abroad at the close of the war somehow or oth er; he is a man of desperate energy, and be has been practicing law, I believe, !>> some irregular way, not in the Courts of .England, and gets along somehow or other. He can not have much money, and I fancy would be very glad to be back in Texas at the law once more. He is in many respects an extraordinary man, a born revolutionist, never disheart ened, whatever the storm or the tem pest; best pleased, perhaps, when the waves run high, devoted to his own pet schemes or ideas, has a passion for spine people and can hate others like the glow of an anthracite furnace, <s always (hi ving away at something, yet never d ■ pressed by failure, and will never guv up hope as long os he can tind a listener. Give him hall u dozen listeners and he Is perfectly happy. As we are to have “ peace,” I think Wlglull and the Uni ted States could harmonise matters by allowing him to harangue a Texas jury. What harm would It do, pray? After a curious and most romantic.se ries of adventures, Mr. J. P. Beniamin, ex-Secretary of State, and the Disraeli of the Southern Confederacy, made his way to the West indies, thence to England, and there he, once the most eloquent of pleaders In the United Stat s Supreme Court, commenced “eating his lenns,” us it Is culled, in the Temple, preparatory l" udnusdon to the Comls of Westmins ter. Fora year the ex-Sec retary of S ate, ex-Pleader of America,, wont tltfough tills probation Just us might have done any fledgling from Ox ford or Cambridge, when all of a sudden John Bull concluded to reax his Iron rote in favor of the brilliant stranger, and dispense with the two remuiuing years of preparation for the mysteries ol Themis. This made nil easy; once In Court, the clear thought, the most ring ing tone, the ease of manner, unap nroached even In America, the wonder ful perspicuity and power of bUtemenl which had once made even Dougla-*. Crittehden and Hunter look well to iheir weapons, found their way to the ears and eyes of the bench, and the solemn old cocks in their gowns went out of their way to pay a compliment to the new ad vocate. This distinction, added to merit and work, won clients; and now, after getting out a new law book on sates, be hold our ox-Senutor, fixed for life, prolm>> • bly in his gown, at Westminster—happy there, cheerful every where, irrepressible, and never without a smile, save under the influence of au occasional headache— the lot of an exile, u flea bite to the phi losopher. As for old Dudley Mann, he who used to write awful long letters for Father Ritchie’s Union , over the signature of “ Agricola,” (what they were about no body but ho knows,! nil enthusiast over the '* Great Eastern.” which he was once under the impression ho had personally constructed, once luxuriating in a Euro pean mission, sent tnere by the United States, and subsequently fixed up com fortably in u'-imilar case at Brussels, by the Confederacy, where he shed his Ink like a man; why, he is all right now.— He lias got money enough to live on, in u shabby, genteel style at Bonn, or some other German town, and he is half Dutch man anyhow, Emone suits him far bet ter than a country where taxes are high, and bowing and scraping, and pleasant, amiable grimaces voted a bore. Old Dudley has no use for the Uulled'Btates, and the United States still less for him. Poor old fdlowl Who would grudge him his pasture and the occasional luxu ry of kicking up his heels? As for Bev. Tucker, everybody knows him, or did know him once—•'a fellow of infinite jest”—the very priuceof good, Jolly fellows, that will, if you give him a chance by l citing him at a supper, say so many good things that you would never afterward think of a square meal without him. What an outrage that this man, any,one of whose jokes is worth a dozen Stun'ons, Holts or Lafayette Bakers, should have been kept abroad all this time au exile—his family large, poor ami very needy—on the ridiculous pretext of* having “elped (oassassinute Mr. Lincoln, whereas he never helped assassinate any thl M g but "fcaimwa-buck ducks and oys ters; and I believe he could put a bushel of both under his belt atone sitting with perfect ease. He is, as I remarked, im pecunious.and I know prefers the Lynn- Haven and Norfolk to the pretentious but small and coppery G-*tend oyster. Dues not such patriotism deserve a better re ward"? Nor would he object at all to a~ slight drop of the fusel-oil,” whether native or lorelgn, ami if anybody thinks to m*>ult him by allusions 10 Bourbon, just let him produce the Insul', ami see if it be not prooiptiy swallowed. I have barely u word to add about Mr. Davis. A few months ago Air. Davis went down to Mississippi, intending to slay there, and. I believe, go to planting again-; for his local attachments are very .strong, and he is deeply attadied Co his old friends aiid the home, where ho has passed so targe a part of * his life. But whatever he *dd or leit undone, the Rad icals distorted It and made a fuss; malice pursued him at every step,and fimiMy ho left for Europe to get rid of instating to one of his Iriemls that he would sacri fice himself and his own interests and desires rather than be the occasion of drawing down increased persecution and malignity against the people of his State. Rather than du this, welcome exile and Us bitter bread. Mr. Davis* means are very scant; like General Breckinridge, he owes much to the bounty of friends. Tlie # slory of Ins having caused funds to be conveyed to Europe while he was President, for his own benefit, in case of final reverse, Is discredited by the fact of his poverty, as well ns by the fact that he made no seri ous effort to escape until almost the lust moment, ami then reconsidered his de sign, ami retraced bis steps mi hearing of Mrs. Dayis being annoyed by marauders. Nor do Stanton and Holt deseive any special credit for tills fabrication of theirs, it being th« precise course they would have adopted in like circumstances. — And this, I think, completes the list of prominent exiles who are affected by this proclamation. There are a few others wiio are at home-who come in under this luafuinnesty, whose later career may be noticed on some future occasion. A Woman op Nine Murders,— ln Ge neva a woman named Je-inuerat, thir ty-two years of age, whose employment was that of nursing the sick, has just been found guilty of nine murders. She was a clever woman, with a highly ner vous excitable organization, and seems to have had no other motive for her crimes than a morbid love of the excite ment of murder oml.a grim delight In witnessing t* e sufferings of her victims. The uuupul fatality of patients nursed by her drew the doctor's attention, ami it was found that she gave them atropine, the active principle of belladonna. She did not deny that she had given the nur eeotlc, and of course pleaded Hat she had done so to produce steep and lull resllesness. But It was clear that she knows no waking. Brought lino the presence f»f the exhumed corpses of her yiothns she showed no signs of honor, and went through her trial with com plete Coolness and self-posesslon. Yet the woman was no more' mouamanluo. She hud all her faculties about her ; and the only rational theory of hercrluie was that she had taken to it for amusement. A kind of gambling passion hud taken that direction, and ha I gained entire mastery over her. The case is a rare but by no means unique example of the pos elhility that feeling may be lost in one overmastering passion. Fortunately such passion la generally some form of sell- Indulgence, and It fa rely happens Unit any human being is sufficiently callous to indulge a passion fur murder.

A gentleman mimed Bowers.from Meigv viße, Jackson county, now in town, in forms us (hat on Christmas evo,abou> three o’clock in the afternoon, the farm of a Mr. Whiteside, about five miles from MclgsviHe, was the scene of a most ex citing and nearly fatal event. It is brief ly this: Mr. Whiteside was in the little town doing some business; bis wife was away at a neighbor’s, where a sick child was struggling witli cholera infantum; and tile onlv in-door servant they hud was out in the burn looking after some cattle, when their child—a bright little boy. Just learning to toddle around on Us little feet and piiittle the mime of “ pa”—tumbled or crawled out of lis ci mile, in which it w s left *sieep by the servant a few inoment'- before, and managed somehow to gel to the door, which was unfortunately open at the time, although the girl left in charge of the place avers that she closed it on going out. The child tumbled Into the front yard, it is supposed, and was crying and sprawling around, when a great grav eagle,-seen by the girl as she was leaving the barn, came sWooplng down, ami lastening its immense and v-ntel talons in the clothing of the little hoy, r< se up, apparently with much diffi culty, us high us it co'du, which was not very high, and sailed off across the adja cent woo is, just skimming, as Lite ae»- vuntsays, the tops of the trees. When the servant saw the eagle com ing down, as she was leaving the barn, s'*e had u presentment of the strangest kind, and says she felt that the child was out of doors, and that the lleicc* bird *oi prey was pouncing down upon il ; but when, ill a moment after, she beheld the great tyrant of the air rise above the house-top with the little child in Us claws, she grew dizzy and fell to the ground. Her weakness, however, did not continue long; the cold air blowing across her luce revived her quickly, and jumping on .her leet and gazing around wildly, slie saw the eagle disappearing, over the woods in the direction of the Cumberland river. She was tilled with hut one impulse—that ol icsculng the little hoy. tihe beciine us one fiaiuic, for she hud a lemarkable affection for the child. She rushed lorwurd—bounded over the fences us if she was endowed with 'he lightness and agility of a dce>; dashed into the wood, dura and (angled as it was, pot taking time to hunt out foot paths or cow trucks. She instinct ively fell thin the thieving bird would sweep In a straight With the Strength and unthinking courage of a strong man. who bus become suddenly deranged, she dashed the undergrowin aside, crossed ravines us if she were on the level plain, spurned the fallen trees, and jagged rocks us If they were the smoothest ami softest moss.

Her’s was a wild, infatuated love, such as the “glorious sorceress of the .Nile” bury tor Muik Anthony; fcjhe, u queen,.upon whose head tne crown of England uut uobiy, made love to one of her courtiers—a favorite. (Jne right Elizabeth ?at in her royal chamber, her bead bowed upon tiie fine ly caned table, and the folds of her gor geous night drapery hanging loosely around her. A ng’-t rap startled the Q een irom her reverie, ahe raised her nerd, brushed back he£ silver-threaded hair, ami asked who wished admittance .it such an hour. “ Annette,” was the reply. “Ah ! my chambermaid 1” said tiie Queen, as she opened the door, uud a uuxmu iyss, with bright eyes, ro.-y cheeks and raven tresses, entered and curtsied most gracefully. “Thou art welcome, good Annette,” said Eliza beth ; “ out luelhiuk.M thou earnest lute.” •’There is a man at the wicket, my la dy,” replied the girl. “ Annette, a man J” * •* n y lady.” “ ’Ti» an unreasonable hour for a visit, but did he stale hi- business?” ‘ He said lie wished to see tbe Queen.” “ Knowest thou his name, Annette?” and lUe Queen gazed into her maid's face rather sea cUiugly, “ Y«». my mistiess ; it Is Es^ex,” “ Then admit him at once.” “ imo tbe reception room, mistress?” “ i>o, here.” Annette was dumbfounded, for never belore had a man entered the private chamber of her Queen. Elizabeth looked at the wondering girl a moment, when seeming lg guess the cause ol her wonderment, said : “ Thou need’st not wonder, Annette ; he comes on business pertaining to the kingdom. Admit him.” Tne mai l curtsied uud withdrew. The Queen now dre-suu herseil hastily and sat down to await her visitor. Soon the door was pushed open, and handsome, gallant Essex entered. He approached tnu Queen uud grasped her extended hands. Annette now prudently withdrew,and England's migniy sovereign and her lover were done. They talked fur a long time, and words which breathed of love were spoken.— Alt! little thought Essex then, that the hand lie was covering with kisses would ere many mouths sign his death war rant. As the c’oek struck the hour of mid -nighlys he-vouHiei , ~rose-10--T.lepartT- Tbe- Queen drew u co>Uy ring hum her lin iii*r t u"d placed h lu his hand, saying : ** Noble E.-scX, it troubles ot Stale envel op thee, return this ring to the giver, and : Loon sb.ilt no- tie lorgollt’U.” I Thu earl again raised her bands to his I lips and tool; bis departure, Anuettee ap pealing to conduct him to the street. As I ihe door closed upon Essex's stalely I form, Elizabeth tbiew herself upon the j rich Couch mid sobbed aloud : “ Oh, what I a love X have for thee, noble F sex, but I ' can never cull time mine;” and while j she yet lay there sobbing, the lover earl ! was traversing the moonlit street, gazing ( upon the Queen’s talisman. Keadei, is n not great to bo the fuvor ' lie of u Queen ? A ditlereni scene was not long after ward eilaHed in the same loom. A doz j en courliern stood around the same queen : —Essex's lover—us sue sat before a table j loalhx her royal signature to a document ibal lay before Dor.

The nobles grew impatient, mid one asked: ♦* Why does the Queen not sign?” Tl at bruKe the stillness,' aroused the Queen, and with uu unsteady hand site signed the death-warrant. The deed was done, her lover must die. .After ihuexecuiionot Essex, tbeQueen grew , peevish and ivtmng, and was of ten heard sobbing in her apartments. — The missing ring was a mystery. If he hud dispatched a irmly peisnu to exam ine the body of Essex, but the ring was not found thereon. But at last it came to light. One day a messenger arrived in great haste to the palace with the tidings that the Countess of Nottingham was dying, and desired to see the Queen. The Queen hastened to her. as she approached the death couch, the countess drew a ring from her bosom and held it up. The Queen sprang forward, tore the well-known bauble from the trembling hand, in a loud voice demanded Imw It came into pussession of the Countess. Then the dying Woman told her.— Poor E-si*x when arrested, remembering die-injunction of his royal love, gave the ring to the Countess, begging her to con vey it to the Queen. But her husband, a bitter enemy of the Earl’s, persuaded uer to keep it. Had she. obeyed the im p isoned Earl, in all probability he would nave been saved. The Countess implored the Queen to forgive tier, but with the fury of un en raged tigress the Queen sprung forward, violently grasped the dying woman, say ing: “May God forgive you, I never can,” and immediately left the room.— From that moment the Queen sank rap idly, and died at Richmond in 1005, just two years after Essex.
