H. FRAZIER, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. Montrose, Pa., Tuesday, May 23, 1865. ARRIVAL OP Tux REBEL LEADERS AT FORTRESS SIONROE. By latest telegram we learn that Jeff. Davis, As Co., arrived at Fortress Monroe, Friday, May lath. The party consists of Jefferson Davis, his wile, a small son and two daughters, together with Alexander H. Stephens, C. C. Clay, Col. Win. Reagan, Gen. Wheeler, the rebel raider, and fifteen or sixteen others, names unknown. NEGRO SUFFRAGE We notice that even the Nee) York Herald has lately published an editorial in support of negro suffrage-, as the only secure ground in the recon struction of the South. Tice Herald asks, "Against this demand that, as the African race have assist ed us in putting down the rebellion and in sav- ing the life of the nation, they should have a share in the political right of suffrage, what val id objection can he brought?' The maxim of Jefferson was that he shall vote " who pays and fights." The grave question is whether a class who are in the stale, who are held as Pariahs and outlaws, would not involve elements of peril in the tuture that we cannot confront.— There must long remain the smouldering tires of the hate and pride which have kindled into this war of secession. There is always the immi nency of foreign war; and can we afford to hold in the state a race whose interest we nave 31Iene utixt from the state? Can we call out and dis cipline men to fight for the life of the nation, and yet deny to them the rights which they have striven to achieve? EDUCATE TIIE.JI . We are not yet aware how largely the rebel lion is due to ignorance. Aiken, of South Caro line, has said that, could the Inaugural of Pre , ident Lincoln have been brought fairly before the people of the South, there would have been no rebellion. But slavery, seeking its own end. and the building up of a c.ste, found In ignor ance its natural ally. It became plain that a government which rests upon the virtue and in• telligence of the people, can afford to lose no rneat:s which may contribute to their develop. ment And while the national life and order are dependent upon them, the subject Lecomes one, not of local, but of national importance. National education should have whatever aid and direction the central government can bring. It may and should work through local adminis tration;'but with a superintending energy and spirit that will stimulate local efforts, or over come local indifference. This will be a most Important step in the thorough reorganization of the South. The difference in the number of persons who can read in Idsecqebuselts and South Carolina is startling. We have at Wash ington a Bureau for the encouragement of invent ive art, and a Bureau of Agriculture; why not still more a Bureau of Education. RECONSTRUCTION It has become a commonplace to say that Slavery is dead. It is most often repeated by those whom the past has led us to regard with least respect for their swicity and trust for their integrity. The rebel Bree Unridge, in his con ference with Sherman, wished no definite refer ence to be made to the subject, on this ground. But we may seriously deceive ourselves. The Satanic power that has been the source and strength of this rebellion, does not die easily.— The fact that the states of Delaware and New Jersey, unger the control of Democratic Legisla tures, have refused to ratify a Constitutional Amendment for the abolition of it, does not in dicate that it is utterly dead ; and the Democrat ic party may not yet be willing to part from their old though treacherous ally. A Georgia planter has boasted, within a few dt'iys, that the Emancipation Proclamation is a failure, and that we shall have another war within two years. Those who say so flippantly that Slavery is dead, may nut comprehend the root or fare which it has. For two hundred years it has been deepening its root into our soil and infusing its virus into our system. The next Congress will have the gravest du ties laid upon it of any which has occurred in our history. It must shape into an enduring policy, and build In the whole structure of the state, the principles which have led our armies to victory on the field. It must maintain the same fidelity to popular government, the same trust in the triumph of righteousness and hu manity. Slavery must be eradicated in its last vestige. The whole social organization which gave strength to Slavery, and which years have made one with it in its very growth and fibre, most be destroyed. The confiscation of the vast and overgrown estates of the leaders, must be followed by a system -which will encourage free industry ! The privation of power and influence in the state, is little to impose upon him who mu:elms =kali his power and influence for the -testraction of\the state! -The perpetual disfran ' chlsement of tlke disloyaMeaders must be follow ed by enfnutddsement of all loyal men who have ' fought the battle against them. The true citi zen constitutes the state. There can be no se curity in any reorganization of the South which is in violence of natural rights. The only safety is in the moat exact justice and tbe' largest hu manity, History has no other sure guarantees for peimanent peace-and progress of a people. IVO° BROIIGNIT ON TAE WAIL The following facts from a long article in the Tribune, it will be well to remember, as they furnish a conclusive refutation of the charge that the "War" was brought on by Republi cans: • "The formation of the Confederacy cannot have been "occasional" by an attempt " to subAtate the sontnan statutbv Military occupation';' ; Mace It • • 'hue beet certain that no such attempt =ll,m:de by Buchanan,, and-Lincoln was hot inaugutated till March 4th. ,1661: whereon Aouti: Caroline formally stcedal 'real the Union D.

A terrific storm of rem and wind, having the char acter of a Tornado, passed over this city about o'clock last evenint. in the Northeastern part 01 the city, In particular, It was terribly destructive From twenty five to thirty hous e s were either en tlrely blown down or nearly demolished, while otl, or buildings were unroofed or otherwise damages Fortunately but one life Is known to have been lost and but few persons seriously Injured.

C., May 18th, 1861 I have lately returned from a visa to the home ward bound Army of the Potomac, having upon its arrival across the river taken advantage of an oppor tunity which will soon cease to exist ; for soon that grand old army which has left a greater pro portion of Its number under the sod of its variou • battle-fields than did ever another army of modern times, and yet has emerged at last victorious from its fiery trials, will be known only in history. Now, during the warm spring days, its war-worn soldier: , are lazily lounging on the thlek closer which ha. sprung up luxuriantly on the a-round the same ar my occupied three and a half years ago. =l2 They are clustering in sh.dy places and indulging in reminiseenees of the eventful scenes of war. Listen ing to these groups one cannot W.,' being struck with the amount of unwritten history I, Web will soon constitute fireside romance, when there h s erots bare scattered to their rations northern lionatvi and have bonny boys and girls growing up ttrom,l them, but which will never creep into print.— Many a gallant deed,cione in u moment of need, per. imps confusion, nevergets beyond the ramp-fire chronicles, while sometimes, some things we read is our morning paper with quickened pulse and eye, would if they were justly known, fail to excite enthusiasm. An accident of the for mer class occurred at Fire Forks when a regiment of my hid division, the third of the Fifth Corps, while fighting in front found a rebelllne of battle to Mar. Two rebel soldiers, rushing forward at the colors, demanded their surrender. One of our Men dashed out the brains of the foremost with the but of Ids rifle, another bayonetted the second, and the regiment faced about and cut its way out. SIMS 41.X.D DIOW But *theta the uppermost impression, while them scarred soldiers are talking tbeir'hattles over, is the thought how few of the men wao encamped upon title ground in the fail of 1661 and winter of 61 d 2 are now here to call to mind the familiar scenery. Bow little those tem knew of the future before them—the- future which bee now glided into the past and become history. -How vague and in distinct then were their notions of war-;-nom, as they lonk around at the vaeabt places where cum stood their old comrades, how coheelousare they of its reality. - These-ere saddening thoughts; yet' they were glorious years to hare lived through, and we shall not see their like again.

A little beyond the fields are sprinkled with tents, and ion come in sight of the red, white and blue Maltese crosses, on the division flags of the Fifth Corps, and memories of many bloody days do they recall. If you pass the intervening ridges, you may sees few miles beyond the trefoil of the not less glorious Second, and farther away to the sosthwanl. the ditchd of the Ninth. borne hither af ter three thousand miles of wandering. We miss the cross of the Birth corp., which is not here ; but among the less familiar devices carried by Sher man's men, we welcome the crescent and star of the Twentieth, baptized with the other badges of the Potomac Army at (4ettyaburz, anti the struggles which preceded that Eylan of the war.

OAPTURE OF JEFF. DAVIS. etaIIEILLANDVILLE, llth, 1865. To Captein W. Pratt, .1. G. 2d 2)irision : Sett: —I have the honor to report that at day light yesterday, at Irwinsville, I surprised and iiptured Jeff.

Morris Lubeck, and Limit. Hath away; also sever/I important names, and a train of five wagons and three ambulancel, making a twist perfect success. Had not a most painful mistake occurred by which the 4th Michigan and let Wisconsin came in conflict, we should have done better. The mistake cost us two killed and Lieut. Boutle orinded through the arm in the 4th Michigan, •thd four men wounded in the let Wisconsin.— This occurred just at daylight, after we had cap ured the camp. By the advance of the Ist Wis consin they were mistaken for the enemy. I returned to this point last night, and shall move right on to Macon, without waiting orders from you, as directed, feeling that the whole ob ject of the expedition is accomplished. It will take me at. least three days to reach Macon, as we are seventy-live miles out and our stock ranch exhausted. I hope to reach Hawk insville to-night. I have the honor, &a, D B. Parrett/no, .ifichigan Caralry MACON, GEORGIA., Friday. May 13th, 1865. . Han. Edwi, Jr. Stanton, Secretor/ of War : Lieut.-Col. Hardee, commanding the let Wis consin, has just arrived from Irwinsville. He struck the trail of Davis at Dublin, Laurens Co., on the evening of the 7th, and followed him closely night and day through the pine wilder ness of Alligator Creek and Green Swamp, via Cumberlandville, to Irwinsvile. At eumberlandville, Col. Hardee met Colonel Pritchard with IGO picked men and horses of the 4th Michigan. Hardee followed the trail directly south, while Pritchard, having fresher horses, pushed down the Ocinulgeh toward Hope Well and thence by House Creek lo Irwinsville, arriving there at midnight of the 9th. Jett Davis hail not arrived From a citizen Pritchard learned that his par-. tv were encamped two miles out of the town. Cle made dispositions of his men, and surround ed the ramp before day. Hardee had camped, at 9 p. m, within two miles, as he afterward learned, from Davis. The trail being too indistinct to follow4he pushed on at 3 a. m., and had gone hut little more titan one mile when his advance was fired upon by the men of the 4th Michigan. A fight enoned, both parties exhibiting the greatest determination. Fifteen minutes elaps ed before the mistake was discovered. 'rhe firing iu this skirinialf was the first warn ing Davis received. `Cue captors reported that he hastily pot on one of his wife's dresses and started for the woods, closely followed by our men, who at first thought him a woman, but seeing his boots while he was running, they suspected his sex at once. _ _ The race was a short one, and the Rebel Pres ident was st'am brought to bay. He brandished bowie-knife and showed signs of battle, but yielded promptly to the persuasions of Colt's revolvers, without compelling the men to fire- He expressed great indignation at the energy with which he was pursued, saying that he had beiieved our Government more magnanimous than to hunt down women and children. Mrs. Davis remarked to Col. Hardee after the excitement was over that the men bed better - not provoke the President, or "he might hurt some of 'ern." , H. Wesson, Maj. Get. The Petticoat Escapade The attempt, of Davis to elude his captors by wearing petticoats was ridiculous enough; but he capped the climax of absurdity by his argu ment to our vigilant soldiers. It was a charac teristic piece of Secession logic. Ail the advo cates of treason have a remarkable talent for distorting facts and then drawimr from their fal sified premises whatever conclusions they desire to establish. Thus, the fugitive conspirator, be ing a man dressed-in woman's clothing, assumed that he lc-longed to the gentler sex, and arguing from that point appealed to the manhood of his pursuers—"does your GOvernment war upon defenceless women,:".—a plea that furnished the "Christian President" a maguideent theme for a dissertation on the principles of humanity and wisdom of magnanimity, It might have been effective had not his unlucky hoots—(they were probably of substantial cavalry pattern)—mule his pursuers sweet the soundness of the first link of his tine chain of reasoning. We presume, too, that his attire was not as tastefully and elegantly adjusted as that of a Pa risian belle; far we hardly suppose that his gar ments were made to order, nor that by dint of careful instructions h-om his affectionate sponse, he had learned those mysterious secrets of dress and deportment with which " stern statesmen " ere not usually familiar.. elir Walter Scott, in describing Charles Stuart disguised as a gipsey woman to escape hiit Cromwellian pursuers, says: " Her (his) elothesindeed, were of good material; hut what the female eye discerns with half a glance, -, they Were indifferently adjusted and put on. This - looked as if they Aid not be long to the person by whore they were worn, hut were artielea of which she-had become the mistress by some accident, if not bysome suc cessful robbery. Her rise, too, was unusual; her features swarthy and'-singularly harsh, and her Manner altogether unpropitious" There were, doubtless,: enough deficiencies of the - kind Uitia Sketched by the magician of the North in the disguLse of Davis to ConfllM the suspicions that no puss" would wear such "boots' as peeped from the folds of his feminine apparel. The whole seene.was peculiarly picturesque, and it is honed that some skillful artist wttl produce . 'lt with historic fidelity , so that fla me timesinay gain at one glance is dissolving view of the Rebellion, and a portrait of its leader in a costume well calculated to adorn his beauty and clear up alt unsolved doubts of the components of that Ultima Thule of Secession despenticra— thearist ditch.—Phita.
