Doris. To the Editor of the Evening Bulletin:— I see it stated in the papers that the health of the National Guest at Fortress Monroe hhs become so seriously impaired in his pre sent quarters that a change is regarded as imperatively necessary. Permit me to sug gest through your columns that, in case that measure should be decided upon, the per sonage in question - be removed to the sala brious atmosphere of Andersonville or Salis bury. A brief residence at either of those noted resorts for invalids could hardly fail to have a most salutary effect upon his sys tem, and the associations and moral influ ences by which he would there be sur rounded would likewise be highly condu cive to his restoration. It is probable that one of those comfortable habitations which his tender care provided for the suffering soldiers of the Union could readily be fitted up for his reception, and the provision for medical attendance and the comfort of the sick at either post is undoubtedly as ample now as it was in the autumn and winter of 1864. In all these respects we have the as surance of Mr. Davis's friends and admirers, both at the North'and at the South, that nei ther Andersonville nor Salisbury left any thing to be desired by the most exacting invalid, and it would certainly be a blot upon the national character of the individ ual of whose humanity and tenderness of disposition, the history of those places will be an eternal memorial, should be denied the fullest enjoyment of their advantages, and that too,. by the people for the benefit of whose kndred and friends they were originally designed. By all means, if the hardships of Fortress Monroe are too much for Mr. Davis's constitution, let. him be re moved to a place fitted up in accordance with his own ideas of the needs of the sick and suffering. I intrude upon your space no farther than barely to throw out the sugges tion, and express the hope that it will be duly weighed by the proper authorities. The many friends of the Rev. Dr. E. E. Adams will be glad to learn thathis health is improving in his retirement at his old home in New Hampshire. He writes most cheer. fully and expresses the hope that he will be able to resume his place in the pulpit of the North Broad Street Presbyterian Church at an early season.

On Mr. Bouverie's motion the bill was read a second time. A telegram from Barcelona on the 14th, reports a great run on the banks there from the exchange of notes and withdrawal of deposits. Some suspensions had occurred and others were expected. The Times, of Tuesday, says editorially: "The wonted of security has almost returned. Its money article says great anxiety continues to prevail; but no fresh failures have occurred, which, considering that the pressure for money has not miti gated, and that the most extraordinaryrates have been paid in the Stock Rxchange, is very favorable."

The Austrians occupied the Bohemian. and Silesian frontiers. The volunteer corps for Mexico is disbanded. Cantonments have been erected at Lechfeldt and Nuremburg for the Bavarian army. It is reported that Prussia has summoned Hanover for making warlike preparations and announced the intention of occupying her military roads. The Prussian reply to the Austrian note upon the Duchies question, presented on the settlement proposed by Austria is de clined. La Prance says that many diplomatic communications have been exchanged be. tween the Cabinets, and the idea of a Con gress limited to the consideration of pend ing questions is again taken up. The departure of the Vienna garrison for Bohemia has commenced, and the substitu tion money for military exemption is abolished. A telegram dated Florence says Garibaldi has accepted the command of the volunteers, declaring that he hopes soon to be able to co-operate with the glorious army of Italy in accomplishing the destinies of the nation; also, that a Royal decree has been issued ordering all soldiers of the second category of 1844 to be forthwith incorporated with the regular army. They have already been called together for two months' drill. The Senate has approved by a vote of 70 to 6 the bill granting exclusive and extra= ordinary powers to provide for the public safety. The OpinOne thinks if a formal proposal should be made for a European Congress Italy should accept It upon two conditions, viz: that she may remain armed, and that the cession of 'Venetia be included in the gramme of the Congress.. These conditions are essential. TENTH CORPS.

Y., a young man named Allsert E.Howe, of whom he has been in search for some months past. 'The prisoner is alleged to be one of a party who, by means of forged warehouse re ceipts, succeeded in swindling various per sons in this city out of snms amounting in the aggregate to nearly $300,000. Of thic immense sum young Howe re ceived but a very small portion, is accom plices, while using him as a catspaw, re taining almost the entire sum secured. The first indication of the swindle was dis covered in January last, but the principals finding that their nefarious schemes were discovered, fled from the city. Young Howe went to live with some relative in Roches ter, and under the assumed name of George C. Beck, has remained quietly there ever since. After a protracted search, detective Golden finally learned where he was located, and, armed with a warrant for his arrest, pro ceeded thither. He called at the office of the Chief of Police of that city, and on stating his business was promised all the assistance he might require. Officer McLean, of the Rochester force was sent in search of the culprit, and found him at the house of the relative with whom he was stopping. He was told that the Chief of Police wanted to see him at the Police Court, as he was wanted as a witness in a neighborhood quarrel. Not suspecting the real object of his arrest, young Howe readily accompanied the, officer. On his arrival at the station-house he was met by Detective Golden, who called . him by name, very much to his astonishment. He was informed by Golden of the nature of the charge against him, and the fact that he must prepare to accompany him to New York. Within 20 minutes after the arrest the officer and his prisoner were on the way, and yesterday they arrived in this city. The prisoner was committed to a cell at Police Headquarters, and to-day he will probably be taken before one of oar police magis trates and the necessary complaints made against him by the injured parties. Howe is a quiet, ineffensive sort of man, and up to the time of the forgeries was looked upon as a very straightforward, honest person. He enjoyed the confidence of the firm by whom he was employed in the highest degree. During his stay in Ro cheater he claimed to be a New York pilot. enjoying a few months' leave of absence.

NORTH VERNON, Ind., May 25,1866.-The execution of George W. Sage, the child murderer, took place at Vernon- to-day, in the square attached to the court house: The cnlprit.mude a full confession of his guilt, and expr6ised.his deep sorrow at what had occurred; He appeared to be truly penitent, and died expressing the belief that all who believed in God would be saved. - - - The murder of which Sage was convicted resembled the Deering massacre at Phila delphia in many respects,and withoutdoubt was one of the most cold-blooded and heart less crimes ever enacted in a chriatian coin munity., It appears that Sage worked occa sionally for Mr. William Todd, of Paris, a village about twelve miles distant, and be. coming somewhat familiar with the' family learned that his employer was in the habit of keeping his money in a bureau; He a once formed the idea of stealing the wealth and, watching his opportunity one day during the absence of Mr. and Mrs. Todd, entered the house unperceived and proceeded to ransack the premises. While he was thus occupied the children of his employer, three in number, came into the ' room and caught him in the act. Fearful of discovery, and actuated by the spirit of the very devil himself, the- thief conceived the idea of murdering the innocents, and pick ing up a brickbat - which lay upon the hearth, he proceeded with his bloody work. The eldest child, a girl about nine years old, was struck down first; then her sister, two years younger, was despatched, and lastly little Willie, their brother; aged two years. The children were all insensible, and apparently dead when the murderer left them; but, thanks to a merciful Provi dence, two of them, the girls, revived soon after, and by their cries attracted the atten tion of the mother, who was working in a field near by. The oldest girl, who ap peared to have been injured the least, re lated what had occurred, and gave such in formation as led to the arrest of the mur derer in less than three hours afterwards. The other girl,with good surgical attention; also recovered, and was enabled to substan tiate her sister's story of the murder; but little Williepitssed away, and it was for the murder oft h ., 4 innocent that Sage suffered the extreme penalty of the law. The murder, which created intense ex citement in this community, was committed on the 7th of March last, and the trial, which was not less interesting, came off in a fort night'afterwards. The evidence of the pri soner's guilt was so conclusive and over whelming that he made no effort to defend himself, and looked upon his conviction as a foregone conclusion. The trial over and his doom being fixed, he manifested great sorrow for what he had done, and to his spiritual adviser, the Rev. E. 1,. Dolph, he made a full confession of his guilt in writing. It was understood, however, that the confe'edon was not to be made public until after his death, and it was placed in the hands of the clergy man until after that event transpired. The following is a copy of the document! I, George Washington Sage, was born in Smyrna township, Jefferson county, Ind., May 29, 1831. I lived in the vicinity of my birthplace until the year 1860. The cause of my removal may be learned from a brief history of an event which occurred about a year before: On one moonlight night, before I had retired to rest, at my father's house, some one knocked on the window of the room in which I slept, to which I answered, and on going out found a company of my acquaintances, who said they were going after apples. The company consisted of Henry `Vaughn, Daniel Duncan and the two Dunham boys, one named Henry, the other's name I have for gotten. James McCartuly was with me, and as they wished him to go along, I awoke him and he went with us, under the impres sion that we were going after apples. lam confident McCartuly knew of no other ob ject, neither did I. On our way we stopped for John Lowe, who went with us. As we passed Mr. Wiley White's hay stacks, Vaughn said he was going to burn them. As we returned after getting the apples we came by the hay stacks, and Vaughn proceeded to carry out his threat. Mr. Cartuly and I remonstrated with him and did all we could to stop him; but he went on and set tire to them. We were charged with it and arrested, and when McCartuly was tried Vaughn swore that McCartuly and I set fire to them, and Mc- Cartuly was sent to the Penitentiary. Lowe and J. consulted together, and, knowing what Vaughn had sworn to, feared that we might share the same fate as McCartuly, so we ran away. Lowe, I thin.k, went to Ken tucky, and I to Kansas. This was what they wanted, as we found during the trial, for they were afraid McCartuly, Lowe and myself would tell about their plot to kill Dr. Hall, at Kent. They had told us all their plans, and invited us to go with them, but we' all refused. They then told us that if we ever divulged they would kill us. We tried to go to Rent to tell Dr. Hall, but they way laid and shot at us. They failed to kill Dr. Hall, and then fearful we would tell, hired us to go away. We went as far as Missouri, changed our minds, returned and gave the money back to the father of some boys who were concerned in the plot, and had fur . nished it. They got up the burning of the hay stacks and proved it on us to get us out of the way. I returned from Kansas to Dn . nois and settled within four or five miles of Vandalia, Fayette county, where I mar ried Rebecca .Anne Ledbetter. I re mained there until 1865. Daring the time we had two children born to us—the oldest, Mary Elizabeth, who died while we lived in Illinois, and the youngest, John Henry, 'who is still living. In the spring of 1865 we moved to near Paris, In diana, where I was arrested for the mur der of Wirt. Todd's child. I had been work ing for Mr. Todd two or three days, for; which he paid me when we settled, which was a few days before the murder was com mitted. Soon after this settlethent I learned that our property in Illinois was sold, or about to be. I knew if we could get there it would be saved; but we had no money to pay our way. I was very much troubled - about it, and was thinking every day how I could raise the money go. On the even ing of March 7th I went over to Mr. Todd, who lived about on e-four th of a mile from us. When I came to the house I feund no one at home except the children; they were out in the yard, some distance from the house, playing. Having learned, while working for him where he kept his money, I was tempted to take it, and at once commenced to search for it. Just as I found it the chil dren came into the house, and knowing who I was, came to me apparently without fear. Something suddenly came over me and I seemed almost beside myself, and while in this state of .mind I determined to kill them. I gathered a piece of brick F. L .11THERSTON. Publidie DOUBLE SHEET, THREE CENTS. which lay on the )hearth, and at once com menced to carry out ,my wicked purpose striking them as they came to me, the, oldest, first and the youngest 'wt. The last I struck a very light blow, I left immediately; bat before I was Ca great way from the house I heard crying, and knew that the children were, not all, dead. I now began to reflect upon the great crime I had committed, and sufferedintensely in my mind as I thought about it. I would then have gixrenall I had in the world, and even _died myself, if that could undo what I had done.. did not ex pect to - siscape detection, as the;children were not all dead, and and as they knew me I supposed they would tell it as Soonas some one came in. Iwas arrested that same even ing by W. H. Dixon. and, tried '.before Philip Jones, .Esq., who sent me to the county jail, to 'await my trial' at - thenext term ,of the 'Circuit' `Court. The' rest is known. understand that reports are in -circulation that I hare been concerned in other disgraceful crimes than the one for which 'I was convicted. All, such reports are false. If I ever before took the - life of any human being, it was while serving my country as a. member of the 7th Illinois Ca valry during three •years, and for which I was honorably discbarged;• but whatever I did wan soldier I did in obedience to my (AB con, and do not therefore feel responsible. Besides th at, the'foregoing confession con tains all my crimes ofa public Character. of which lam guilty. This statement :I make with an honest desire to tell the truth, and 'knowing that I soon must answer before the Judge of all men. I still feel fully sorry for all my sins, and have sincerely repented and believe I have obtained mercy,and now enjoy a hope ofeternal life. GEORGE WABECLNGTON SAGE. Attest—Samuel M. Dixon, Jacob Clinton. ''Facts and Fancies. A "strong minded woman" is of the opinion that the only effectual way to pro mote peace is to feed man on nothing but vegetables. It would certainly increase the demand for peas, anyhow. A staunch Union man who does not be lieve in the patriotism of the recluse of Chestnut Hill and who would prefer a change of Senators from New Jersey, overheard a discussion upon educational qualifications for suffrage. He said it was all very well to talk about education ,'but he'd like to see the man that would make him vote for either Reed or Wright ! The tournament for the benefit of maimed confederates at Memphis yesterday was a great success. Five thousand persons were present. We thought these donkey exhibi tions were confined to the Old Dominion, but the sunny Southerner is about the same everywhere. These tournaments are taus les manes choses i which, being interpreted, means all maim shows. A paragraph in the local column of a Co lumbus (Georgia) paper says: "We learn 'that the tremendous peal of 'thunder yester day about twelve o'clock was caused by lightning striking the rod on the Episcopal. church." How B. Franklin would shudder if he could know that he had such a philo— sopher to succeed him in the printing art. The discussion of negro suffrage in Colo rado,where the "cohered pusson" certainly does not abound, seems to be a Color-ado about nothing. Sixteen Egytisua dancers are entertaining the Parisians. Wonder if their mummies know they're out? A young lady in Rockland, Me., rose in her sleep and cut off one-half of her splen did head of hair. When the mischief was discovered in the morning, she had a good cry, and a barber was sent for, who com pleted the work she had begun. The foolish girl Why didn't she take it off before she went to bed? Senators Saulsbury and McDougall came to Philadelphia last Saturday to attend the Johnson meeting. They did not appear, however, as they were in another state be fore evening. What state need not be mentioned.
