About four weeks ago a pistol exploded in his room when he was-loading IS , and the whole fam ily righted up, feeling confident that, as they bad long decided, ho had committed suicide. Jim nye that Mrs. Davis, in conversa tion with tousle friends, freqitently mike of the Confedersoj as hopeless, and is loud in regrets for the !cot pleasures of With iogton. There is no forage except to the &Mesh sippi Department, and the allowance for Mr. Davis' two horses is two quarts of 1:4112 each per day, on which, says Jim, they are growing thin. Not long ago Mr. Davie re celeed a present of twenty turkeys, the food for which now come from the corn rations of the quadrupeds, itutkiug them atilt thin ner.

A letter from a Washington correspond. ent of the New Tork rriEwar, who claims .to speak on good information regarding rebel designs, hat the following: "It has been decided that Longetrest shall be recalled from Rest Tennessee, and placed at the head of a new army which is to hare its basis at Suffolk, and operate on the south side of Juana River, in expects don of an attack on that tile by the Union forces. Kirby Smith, wet aequaln!ei with the ground now occupied by Longetrait and with the people of Tennessee—which de partment he commanded when Tennessee was under rebel rue—has bean appointed in his place. The ch , ice of the Rebel Gov ernment hes beau determined, it is said, by the popularity which Kirby Smith enjoys in all parte of Tennessee where the rebels contemplate, as I have , old( Soo, a gnat molementfor text Spring It is also snr misedthat their army now located at Hodg enville, having been advised that a strong body of Kentucky troops were advancing to reinforcing-so:Sala, has been ordered to move southward in the direction of Nash Title, as a preliminary step to Its junction with Polk'nforana As this movement un• 00T021 the Tennessee and Virginie Roil lOW., Early hie been advised to keep oboes Fleeted' in that direction, by defending the appr aches of the Shenandoah Valley. I The advance of the rebel army-In Weet nnd South Tensersee,withougir an article Of faith among most of the „Richmond poll r Galena, is not, I apprehend, so certain es .people - affect to believe. I am, on the con trary, @seared that Longstreet or his 'no r:awes- have no ides of so soon giving up the safe position he occupies for one not presenting the semi - advantages. It may be even doubted whether he nil*il feel strong anough:to either in venture un ate sr peditian Te nnessee or Kentucky, where he has a thfouand chances to one to be surrounded and captured. It is far more probable that his army, now located brkledgereville, is there for the purpose of thrsiutning the Musks of General Greet, of interrupting - hie communications, and of cutting off his supplies, and for that alone, until he feels strong enough to march up. on Knoxville, and take that city.

The course of Senator Cowan has several times :excited surprise. Be hos disappointed the high hopes that were en• tertained at the time of bis election, not only by his eccentricities in voting, but by, his failure to show the distinguished abil. ity as a statesman and a debater, which his trioxide declared be possessed. lie has car ried the ideas of the Greensburg bar to Washington, and he lets a legal quibble weigh more heavily in Lie mind than a great political principle. If be bad done any great public service as a Senator, or Wain anywayacted as •worthy representa tive of a State like Perimlrani" in a situ ation like that into which the rebellion has brought us, we might overlook his profes sional propensity to vote on technical grounds where national questions are to be decided. But there has been no euoh COO - pinuratory service rendered by him, and for all practical purposes, Mr. Buckslew is about as good a Senator for Pennsylvania as Mr. Cowan. But the large majority for Mr. Sumner's resolution shows that Mr. Cowan is harmless in the Senate. The Tax on Spirits. The investigations of the Committee of Ways and Means on the taxation of spirits his developed much interesting informa tion. The • annual consumption of spirite, as shown by the New York trade is about 100,000,000 of gallons. By the census of 1850, 86,781,557 gallons were produced in the loyal States alone. Under the Excise Jaw. tax was paid up to October 30, 1864, on '82,610,000 gallons. This is, of. course, largely below the year's consumption, and is to be explained by the ' confusion incident to the earlier working of the set, and particularly by the difficul ty of discriminating between stock pro. deiced before and after September 1, 1865. The monthly collections of revenue hare steadily increased and for the mouths of July, Aural, September and October, 1863, the receipts on spirits averaged $822,992.23, or at the rate of $9,875,907.96 per annum, representing $488,705.40. For November and December the returns were much larger. The Spring Campaign—Rebel Inve- don of the North A Washington &Brach soya Oen. Hallett'', in conversation with prom inent public men, has expressed his belief that the bust grand and desperate effort will be made In the ensuing spring by the rebels to transfer the real fighting to Northern soil. They cannot subsist their armies Is their own desolated region, from all the most fruitful parts of which slaves have been withdrawn into the interior Cotton States. It is difficult to deteimine whether their new campaign will be duo north into Pennsylvania again, or across Kentucky into Ohio, using Longstreet's present pot tion as a base of operations. All the secret advisee received at the War Department show that a Peter the-Hermit °mantle against the North is now being preached throughout the Confederacy, and that they are conscripting into the ?alike with ruth less violence everything human that is able to bear arms.
