imucTmEsT OF DAVIS AND DREGIIIN.
RIDGE
The Gmnd Jury of the District of Columbia
May 2fltb, found a bill of indictment against Jeff.
Davis and John C. Breckinridge for high trea
son. Davis and Breckinridge are indicted sep
arately. The overt act was the raid in July last
within the District of Columbia and the juris
diction of this court, killing citizens and destroy
ing property, Brocktraidge being present per
and Davis constructively. District
Attorney Carrington announced the fact in court,
and asked for a Bench Warrant in the case of
Breckinridge, who la still at large. He advocated
that such steps be taken as will bring Davis be
fore the court for trial.
WHAT SHALL BE DONE WITH DAVIS
If ever there was a mountain reduced to a
molehill—ever an elephant reduced to a moase—
ever a gianereduced to a liliputian—examplet of
each may be fonnd in Jett Davis, late President
of Hebeldom. One day boastfni and fhll of brag
gaciocia, the next as valiant as a half-drowned
feline—oao day issuing bloodthirsty manifes.
toes, the next making huge tracks in petticoats
and. hood. There is but one step from the sub
lime to the ridiculous'—and it did not take long
for Jeff. Davis to be transformed from a valiant
soldier to a fleeing coward in woman's toggery.
Of all the farces that have ever been enacted
that of the Southern Confederacy is the greatest,
and the picture its framers and adherents will
cut in history will furnish unlimited subjects for
burlesque and ridicule. Perhaps we have: no
right to rejoice in the farcical termination of
the "Confederacy," but we have the right to en
joy the laugh that termination unavoidably pro
duces. The boasted Confederacy and petticoats
will be thought of together in the future.
Having caught Davis and his associates,. the
question now arises, what shall be done with
them? And here we propese to give the sen
tence that a noted Southerner and one intimate
ly connected with Davis tit Co., deemed due to
traitors. As it is the decision of the "Southern
Chivalry" and not of " Northern Fanatics," bur
"Sonthern brethren" will certainly be satisfied
with it—loyal men assuredly wi!l, but - notbinc
less. When Old John Brown and his fourteen
atilierPelaterrifieti the 'whole State of Vit. - girlie
with his Quixotic raid, and was captured, Fer
nando Wood wrote to Gov. Wise to commute
his sentence from hanging to imprisonment—
Wise answered by the following letter, which
has a historic Interest, besides famishing the
proper treatment of traitors:

My Ikea' Sir: I have duty received and weighed
ev word of your letter. I give It all credit for
good motive and good morals, and as suggesting
what, perhaps, Is rood policy. Now, listen to me,
for my mind is inflexibly made up.
Had I reached Harper's Ferry before these men
were captured (and I would have reached there in
time, had I been forwarded as I ought to have been
from Washington and the Relay House,) I would
have proclaimed martial-law, hate stormed them in the
Tricked pdesible time, have given than no quarter, and
tir al/ had survived, I inould have tried and executed
them muter ,assure of antrt•vartial. But I was too
19.1". X The prisoners were captives, and I then de
termined to protect them to the utmost, of my pow
er, and I did protect them with my person. I en
coded them to prison, and placed around them such
• force 83 to overawe Lynch law. Every comfort was
given them by my orders; and they have been
scrupulously afforded a fair and speedy trial, with
every opportunity of defence for crimes which were
openly perpetrated before the eyes of hundreds, and
as openly confessed. They could escape conviction
only by technical exceptions, and the chanrea for
these they had to a grader degree, by the expedi
tion of prosecution. And the crimes deliberately
done by them are the deepest and darkest kind
wbtclt car. he committed against our people. Brown.
the chief leader, has been legally and fairly tried
end convicted, admits the humanity of his treatment
sle • prisoner, the truth of the Indictment, and the
truthfulness of the witnesses against him. He has
been allowed excess of counsel, and the freedom of
speech 'beyond any prisoner known to me in one
trials. It was Impossible not to convict him. He is
sentenced to be hung; that's the sentence of andld
code, humanely adjudged, and requires no duty
teem me, except to see that it be executed. I have
to sign no deathwaromt If the Executive inter-
POWS at all, It is to pardon ; and to pardon him I
have received petitions, prayers, and threats from
almost every Free State in the Union. From hon

=I informed that hang= will make Mum a martyr.
Alt! Will It! Why? The obvious answer to that
question shown me above everything the necessity
for banging him. Yon ask, " Have you nerve enough
to send - Brown to the State Prison for life, instead
of hanging him?" Yes, If I didn't think he ought
to be hung, and that I would be inexcusable for mid.
his punishment, I could do it without flinch
fir without a quiver of muscle against a universal
clamor for his life, But was it ever known before
that it would be impolitic for a Plate to execute
her laws against the highest crimes,without bring
ing down upon herself - the vengeace of a public
sentiment outside of her limits, and hostile to her
bows! Is it so that It is wisely said to her that she
bad better spare a murderer, a robber, a tenter, be.
=utak sentiment elsewhere will glorify an M
onist with martyrdom ? If eo, it is time to
do execution upon him and all like him. And I
therefore say to you, firmly, that I have precisely
nerve enough to let him be executed with the cer
tainty of bis condemnatinn. He shall be executed as
the law sentences him, and his body shall be de
livered over to surgeons, and await the resurrection
without a grave In our soft I have shown him
all the mercy which humanity can claim.

13 'A WETTICOAT.
The London Spedatar, commenting upon the
sudden check of our jubilee of victory by the
murder of Mr. Lincoln, calls it the " irony of
fate." So It may have seemed at the moment;
but now It is clear that Fate was never so gener
ous as in dealing, with this rebellion. Within
lees than two months the great conspiracy,
which had lasted long enough to gain the am
phora of a power, suddenly reels, crashes, and
enables utterly away. In the last struggle its
expiring force is concentrated into one crime so

THE THI:4O MUSS OF EIEVEN.THMTIES.
The grefiPsuccess of the 7.30 Loan Vat al
ways be Idoked upon as one of the most power
evidences of the strength of the United States
Government, and of ha strong hold upon the
confidence and affection of the people. On Sat
urday, May 13th, the subscriptions were over
ably mil2ien dollars, and for the week ending on
that day, over ninetreiglit million dollars, and in
the three :months that the Loan has been in
charge of Mr. Jay Cooke, over fire-hundred mil
lion dollars. These large receipts will enable the
Treasury to pay off our armies as they are dis
banded, and to rapidly discharge the various ob
ligations that have interred during the war.—
History will show that a great war-debt to in
dividuals has never before been so' promptly
paid; and we think all will agree that Secre
tary McCulloch deserves great credit for the abil
ity he has manifested, not only in securing the
means, but for the financial skill he has displayed
in so directing these vast receipts and disburse
ments as not for a moment to disturb the equi
liLrium of c6tumeree, embarrass individuals, or
in any way tighten the money market. It is
doubtless true that the Secretary of the Treas.
my might have negotiated the remainder of his
loans at six per cent. interest instead of 7 30,
but so much valuable time would necessarily
have been lost in popularizing a new loan that
the great object of the Government, viz., an Im
mediate supply of money sufficient to pay all
the debts incident to the war, would have been
defeated ; and besides, the difference of interest
would not have been, equal to three days' ex
penses. The policy may have looked " penny
wise," but the best financial authorities, as well
as common sense, pronounced it " pound fool
ish." As it is—and will be, no soldier will g”
home without his greenbacks, and the floating
debt in the shape of vouchers, requisitions, &c.,
will be wiped out as rapidly as the proper offi
cers can audit and adjust the accounts.
The Second Series of the 7-30 Loan was ex
hansted on Saturday, May 13th. On Monday,
the Secretary of the Treasury authorized Jay
Cooke, the general Subscription Agent for Uni
ted States Securities, to receive subscriptions,
foe $230,000,000 of a Third Series, which is all
that is authorized by Congress, and is Without
doubt the last loan of Oils high rate of interest
that will be offered by the Government
There is no change in the terms or conditions
of this Third Series, except that the Government
reserves the right of paying interest at six per
cent. in gold instead of seven and three tenths
in currency—a right which would pre-suppose
a return to specie payments, and make six per
cent. in gold even better than the higher rate in
currency-4 consummation most devoutly to be
wished.
The privilege of converting th e notes into
3.20 six per cent. gold bonds at the end of
three years, or receiving payment at maturity,
at the holder's option, is retained.
The first day of the Third Series opened with
a subscription within a fraction of five millions,
and the month of June will certainly see the last
of the SeVen•Thirties out of market. How early
in Joie we cannot predict, but parties who wish
to make "re of a portion would do well to be
in time.

FOREIGN NEWS.
By the arrival of the Edinburg at New York,
and the China at Halifax, we have four days
later from Europe.
The news of the surrender ofJohnston's Army
had ban received in England, and every body
admitted! that the Southern Confederacy bad
ceased to' exist. Mr. White had given notice
that on the 11th insL he would ask the Govern
ment whether they had withdrawn belligerent
rights from the South. Mr. White postponed,
however, the question, and it was assumed that
the question was under the consideration of the
Cabinet. The London Post., a Government organ,
and ardent sympathizer with the Rebels, admits
that the Southern Confederacy no longer exists,
and that therefore Its belligerent rights have
ceased.

The troops as they Moved along Pennsylvania
avenuepresented a grand appearence, all arms of
the service being represented In full force. Thu oc
casional insertion of a body of Zonaves served to
relieve the sameness. The dark and light bine uni
forms gave a find effect to the spectacle. Looking
up the broad Pennsylvania-ave.. there was a contin
uous moving line as fsr as the eye could reach of
National, State, divisinn, brigade, regiment, and
other flags. Some of them were new, the stars of
gold leaf glittering In the sun, and these contrasted
strongly with liege borne in the procession tattered
in battle or mere shreds. Other flags were thickly
covered with names and dates of battlefields where
victories were won by these ;,rand veterans. The
flagstaffs were decorated with flowers, and very many
bouquets hung from the 'nuzzles of muskets. These
troops did not, as to dress, present a war-worn ap
pearance ; they were all well and cleanly clad, and
their fine marching elicited praise from every tnngee.
On the south side of the avenue, fronting the Ex
ecutive Mansion, a stand was built, handsomely and
heavily festooned with national nags. At various
points were the inscriptions, "Atl.mi a.," "Wilder
ness, "Stone River," "South Mountain," "Shiloh,"
"Vicksburg," "Savannah," "Richmond," "Peters
burg." and "Coal Harbor."
This stand was in part occupied by President
Johnson, members of the Cabinet, Elena Grant and
Sherman, and other distinguished army officers
On the lett were members of the diplomatic corps
and their families, WO tickets having been Issued to
this class of spectarons On the stands provided for
the purpose were George Bancroft and the follow
ing-named Governors of States : Crapo, Buckingham,
Andrew, Fenton, Faircbilds, Bradford, Curtin,
Smith; Senators Wade, Sherman. Wilson, Johnson,
Chandler, Harris, Hendrickson, Dixon, Foster, Mora
gem, Conness, Lane of Kansas, and Representatives
Schenck Hooper, Marston, Lynch, Hayes, Porter,
J
Kelley, enekes, Loan and ex-Speaker Grow. There
were at least 30 naval officers bearing the highest
rank, and as many army officers, including Gene.
Hancock, Wilcox, Cadwallader, Hitchcock, Newton,'
and Rawlins.
As the corps and divisions passed In review of the
President and Lieut.-Gen. Grant, their commanders
severally , left the column and took scats on the plat
term. The Judges of the Courts, the Chiefs of the
Government Bureaus, and other public officers were
similarly accommodated. The crowd ip that part
of the city was extremely dense, it being the main
point of attraction, and the reviewing place where
was assembled the highest dignitaries.
Gen. ender rode a powerful horse ; at times be
became. restive and ungovernable; when near the
Treasury Department, the animal madly dashed for
ward to the bead of the line. The General vainly
attempted to check his courser, at the same time
endeavoring to retain the weight of flowers which
had previously been placed upon him In the flight
the General lost his hat. He finally conquered his
horse and rejoined his column—passing the Presi
dent's stand he made a low bow and was applauded
, by the multitude.
Between the rear of the Ninth Corps and the ad
vance of the Fifth Corps there was an interval of 10
or 15 minutes. An immense number of persons
rushed into the opening which was in front of the
stand occupied by President Johnson, Gen. Grant
and the members of the Cabinet, and gave each one
repeated cheers. These gentlemen severally rose
and bowed their acknowledgment of the hour.
The troops occupied six hours in the review, from
nine o'clock in the morning until three o'clock in
the afternoon. In military phrase, the "cadence
step" was taken from the Capitol to Seventeenth
street, from which point the 'various organizations
proceeded on the march to their separate quarters.
The review is spoken of as the greatest which has
taken place nn this continent It was a grand affair
and suggestive of trials and victories of the Army of
the Potomac.
WAB/1124070111. Wednesday, May 24,1865.
We have had another bright, and in all other re
spects charming day for the review of the Armies
of Tennessee and Georgia. The sidewalks of Penn
sylvania-avenue, at all elevated points, were to-day,
as yesterday, occupied by deeply interested specta
tors. Fresh arrivals this morning augmented the
already largo number of strangers who had especial
ly visited Washington to witness the grand military
parade.
The tastefully decorated stands near the Exective
Mansion were again occupied by President Johnson,
members of the Cabinet and Lktenant.General Grant,
together with distinguished army and navy officers,
Chiefs of Executive Bureaus, the Diplomatic Corps
and families, and other personages. The vicinity of
the reviewing point was densely crowded over a
larger area than yesterday, this locality being more
attractive.
The Army of the Tennessee moved from the Capi
tol at 3 o'clock this morning, proceeding toward the
Executive Mansion. At the head of the column
rode Major-General Sherman, who was vociferously
cheered all along the line, while many clapped their
bands, and others waved their handkerchiefs and
miniature Saga. The greeting of this hero was in
the highest degree enthusiastic. lie bad been pre
sented with two large wreaths of flo wers,ons of which
bad been placed around his horse's neck, the other
hung upon his own shoulder. Major-General Sher
man was accompanied by Major-General Howard,
formerly In command of the Army of the James.
Next followed Major-General Logan, Staff and Es
cort. He yesterday assumed command of this army.
Major-General Logan appeared at the head of Usti
command. Thl. Corps is composed of troops from
Michigan, Missouri, Ohlo, Indiana, Minnessota, Il
linois, lowa, Wisconsin. The Seventeenth Army
Corps was preceded by its commander, Major-Gen.
Blau, with his Staff, followed by the Headquarter's
Escort. The troops of this Corp. are from Illinois,
Ohio, New York. Wisconsin, Indiana, Minnesota
and Michigan. The neit in review was the Army of
Georgia, Major-General Slocum commanding, who
rode at the head of this column.
The Twentieth Corps was commanded by MOM%
General Mower, and composed of volunteers from
Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New York, I Wlsaorialn,
Massachusetts, Ohio, Delaware, and Michigan. This
was aucceded by the Fourteenth Army Corps,
Brevet-Major-General J. C. Davies commanding. It
was composed of Volunteers from Wisconsin, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Minnesota,
and Kentucky, The respective commanders of the
online*, divisions, and brigades bore upon their per
sons prolusions of dowers, which had been bestowed
In acknowledgement of their heroic deeds; and as
they passed along the line cheers were given and
handkerchiefs and Sags waved by those who chose
this mode to teat* their gratitude for the gallant
services of both officers and men. None seemed to
be weary of continuous gazing at the troops, as
there was always presented something of Increased
interest.
The armies represented all branches and divisions
of the- servieo...ntvalry, artillery, and infantry,
with sufficient variety In trimmings and appoint-

and serentl regimentaof SOUlfell contributed to pro

troupe named the revh , wiagoilleer, they were march

S'e!cretary Seward, notwithstanding his severe
physical affliction, took a deep interest in the re
view. Gen. Augur made him comfortable, and tar

tees of the defenses of Washington, that he might

The Armies of Tennessee and Georgia occupied

Potomac.
The following are a few Incidents of the day :
Previous to the march, a number of young Indio
made their way through the crowds of spectators
and soldiers on Capitol Hill, and festooned upon
some of the officers bouquets, wreaths and garlands.
It has already been stated that Gen. Sherman led
the advance to-day, accompanied by Gem Howard,
with bouquets in their hands, and their horses dec
orated with. flowers. Upon reaching the western
part of the city, a Veteran Reserve soldier approach
ed General Sherman with another bouquet, but the
horse of the latter became restive, and he motioned
the toddler back. "Give it to Howard," shouted the
multitude; hut he, too, having but one hand, could
attend only to his prancing home ; so the veteran
dinned to his seat with his offering amid cheers
on all sides. Riding to the western entrance of the
Executive Mansion, Ge 4. Sherman dismounted, and
with Gen. Howard and Staff joined the group on
the stand. The reception given to Gen. Sherman
, exceeded in enthusiasm that extended to any other

Blair especially received the acclamations of the
multitude.
As the head of Major-Gen. Frank P. Illa Los Corps

some ItO gentlemen, mostly from Missouri, present

the officers of his staff a beautiful bouquet.
Rebel Plottings
The Chicago Tribune makes the I ollow leg state
meets : .
Rev. W. H. Ryder, D. D., pastor of the First Uni
versalist Church in this city, paid a visit to the
doomed city of Richmond immediately after its
evac
notion by the Rebel hordes. Ile found everything
in the direst confusion. Heaps of papers lay scat
tered all around the State House, and even In the
streets. He picked 1.11 , a great many, and had others
given to him by friends. He had no time to make a
careful inspection ; all that he thought of was that
he might be able to dud something that would add
to the attractions of the great Fair. Arrived home
on Friday last, he examined the mass of papers ; he
found among them several very interesting docu
ments, many bearing the sign manual of Jeff Davis.
Among them was one document of startling Impor
tance.
It was a letter written in Richmond, dated Febru
ary 11th, 18111, addressed to Davis, asking his atten
tion to a matter about which the writer bad former
ly held a conversation with him. It was a plot to
burn and destroy Federal vessels wherever found.
The writer states that the secret of the composition
(previously spoken of by him) was known only to
two men; and its nature was such that It could be used
with entire safety, and by persons unacquainted
with its use; that men in the military service need
not be sent into the enemy's country to do the work,
but that it could be performed by agents; that by
Its use they could :
L Burn every vessel leaving a foreign port for this
country.
2. Burn every transport sent from Northern ports
to the South.
3. Burn every vessel on the Missiasippi river, and
carry consternation into the ranks of the enemy ay.
er rhe writer bere further requested that the 'President'
would see and obtain the required Information. It
closed with the most profound assurances of respect
to the recipient, and faith in the issues of the Rebel
cause.
_
On the back of the document was the following
indorsement—we suppress the name:
"Secretary of State, at his convenience please see
, and learn what plan he has for overcoming
the difficulty heretofore experienced.
" February 29. , J. D."
" Heretofore experienced !" The thing had then
been tried before and failed.
Undoubtedly an attempt was made to bu•n the
city of Chicago in November lag, and to Ilberete
the Rebel prlsonem Failing in that the conspira
tors turned their attention to New York, and two or
three weeks afterward we heard of an attempt to
burn that city with the ships in the harbor, hat
they scarcely succeeded in `•overcoming the difficul
ty heretofore experienced." It was ail of a piece
with the raiding into St Albans, and the seizures on
the lakes, except that it far exceeded those last in
atrocity. It was this plan which found its culmina
tion in the mauler of our beloved President, and the
intended assassination of every member of the Cab
inet.
Jeff. Davis and Union Prisoners.
The question which has lone been agitated as to
who is responsible for the cruel treatment of our
prisoners confined in Libby and other prisoners in
the South, may now be considered as definitely set
tled, through no less person than ex-rebel Senator
Foote. it appears that Mr. Foote was a member of
the Committee in the Senate to examine Into the
treatment of prisoners, and the report of their harsh
usage and starvation. His story, us told by his own
relatives, shows a deeper intention than has been
generally supposed, and fastens upon Jeff. Davis
and his cabinet crimes both startling and appalling
in their details.
. .
Mr. Foote, it Is said, states that the Investigations
showed conclusive evidence that it was decided in
cabinet meeting to reduce the rations served out to
the prisoners, that it should so weaken their con
stitution in connection with the confinement, that it
would destroy them as soldiers, and make them
when exchanged worthless.
Senator Foote determined to report these facts to
the Senate, but the balance of the committee over
ruled him, and suppressed the facts.
My informant rather states that it was on this
poiat that the quarrel between Davis and Foote
broke out afresh, which resulted In the latter leav
ing Richmond and seeking some sequestered spot
where such horrid deeds were not committed.
Here theta is the evidence conclusive of Jell. Da.
vio's and his associates' guilt In the diabolical deed
of starving oar prisoners; a deed which makes the
moat stoic.al persons shudder to contemplate. Men
.ho will coolly and deliberately plan a scheme like
that will conspire to !assassinate a President or any
other person. It is a fitting sequel that authors of
such deeds should end their careers in a cowardly
manner dressed in petticoats.
No wonder Jeff. 'Davis's cloven foot revealed who
ho wee.

Jeff Davis Consigned to the Case
mate at Fortress Monroe.
FouTnzos Monnos, Monday, May 22, ISM
At one o'clock this afternoon, the steamer Silas
B. Pierce left Baltimore wharf at this place with
Brevet-Major-Gen. Mlles, accompanied by other MB.
etre of prominence, and proceeded immediately to
the steamer William P. Clyde, ut anchor In the
stream, with Jeff. Davis and the remainder of the
Rebel party on board.
An hour, perhaps, sufficent to give departing Bete
els time to take a long farewell of friends and dear
ones, was awarded them. The harbor, whiels usual
ly is crowded with all kinds and classes of vessels,
today looked almost deserted. Scarcely a dozen
sail vessels could be conntrd, and even they seemed
dull and listless.
Colonel Roberts, Commander of Fortress Monroe,
perceiving the absolute necessity of maintabaing
strict discipline in conformity with the wishes of the
Government, that the transfer of the Rebel party to
Fortress Monroe should be conducted In as quiet a
manner as possible, very early In the morning sta
tioned guards in the.immediate vicinity of the ease
ments, wherein are cells intended for the Mesmer
ation of the prisoners, and also along the ravines,
paths, and routes they would be obliged to traverse
while en route to the Fortress.
In a short time after the Pierce reached the wharf,
the prisoners began to land. Such were the arrange
ments strictly enforced by the military authorities,
that no person was allowed to approa c h the wharf
where the prisoners landed except at a distance of
over 500 yards. As the prisoners marched up the
wharf, preceded by a guard of their captors of the
4th Michigan cavalry, the tall, spare form of Jeff.
Davis, dressed in gray clothes and wearing a light
felt hat, could be easily discerned. As soon as the
prisoners were all ashore they were marched up
along the beach to the sallyport of the water-battery
In the rear of the Fortress, and thence to their cells
In the second tier of casemates.
Clement C. Clay accompanied Jeff. Davis inside
the Fortress, and also, it is supposed, the largest
portion of his personal staff. Sirs. D,avls and her
four children, her brother and sister and the wife of
Clement C. Clay, remain on board the steamer Clyde,
and, it Is thought, will be eent South this evening,
as orders have been received from the War Depart
ment prohibiting them from going North.
The parting between Jeff. Davis and his family Is
described to have been of an extremely affecting,na
t tire, during which the feelings of the once ambi
tious and desperate Rebel hzder were completely
overcome.
Major-General HaHeck has been here during the
past three days superintending the arrangements
made for the confinement of the Rebel prisoners.
fitelegent orders in relation to visiting the For
tresa have been issued, end all civilians are prohibit
ed from entering It, unless duly provided with a pass
from Major-General Halleck.
A. Word to Shallow Thinkers.
A strange discussion is going on in some of the
papers of the country on the subject of the Provi
dence of God In the calamity which this country has
sustained In the death of the President. Some of
them take exception to the position that the hand
of God is to be recognized in It at all, and try to ar
gue that if the Almighty willed that Abraham Lin
coln should die by the hand of an assassin, then
that assassin was guiltless, because he was only an
Instrument to carry out an irresistible divine behest.
The aostirdity of such reasoning is so obvious that
it is hardly worthy of notice; and indeed It was with
some surprise that we read what some men, who
ought to know better, have written on the subject.
Unless we admit that Mr. Lincoln died in accord
ance
with the will of Him who rules over all, sad
without whom a sparrow cannot fall, we must come
to the monstrous conclusion that either be was In
different whether that man lived or died, or that he
was unable to preserve him from the stroke of the
assassin. It were blasphemy to entertain either of
these positions.
All we know of God and the government of the
world Is what he has told us. Emphatically he has
Informed U 5 that a sparrow cannot fall to the ground
without him. Ho does not say without its notice,
as some erroneously quote it, but without his will,
his decree, his purpose. The great truth here taught
is, that nothing, however minute, transpires fortu
itously, or by thane.
Now let us turn to some examples and frame dec
larations. Joseph's brethren, actuated by as mean
and wicked a passion as can find a lodgment in the
human breast, sold him into slavery. Afterwards,
under the pressure of adversity, the bitter confession,
and as true as bitter, was wrung from them: "We
ere verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we
saw the anguish of his soul when he besought us,
and we would not hear." It was their own cruel
act, and they were guilty. Their Judgment upon
themselves was correct, for they were free .agents,
and they knew It. Now let us hear what Joseph
says about it: "God sent me before you to preserve
you a posterity in the earth. * * * • It teas
not you that sent me hither, but God." DM this re
move or even mitinate the guilt of these men ! Cer
tainly not. They bad one purpose, God had another
They acted freely, as their envious and malignant
hearts prompted ,• and lithe result was harry Instead
of unhappy, no thanks to them for it. Take another
example: "The Bon of Man goeth as it is written of
hien; but wo unto that man by whom the Son of
Man is betrayed! It had been good for that man if
he had not been born." This meets the case under
discussion exactly. Again : On the day of Pente
cost, Peter said to the people of Jerusalem, "Him
being delivered by the determinate counsel and. fore
knowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands
have crucified and slain." We think these citations
sufficient to vindicate at once the Providence of God
in the affairs of men, thq freedom of human aeons
however wicked, and the completeness of hums re.
sponfibility for those actions, however they ratty be
overruled for good.—Pittsburg Gazette.
Jeff. Davis and Party
Baurrgosz, May 24, 1t34
A Fortress Monroe letter says : "Jeff. Davis and
Clement C. Clay, alter having been taken yesterday
afternoon from the steamer Clyde, were immediate
ly escorted Inside of the Fortress, and at once placed
in the closest coilnement In the cells prepared for
their reception, in the second tier of casemates.
They occupy cells adjacent to each other, and are
very carefully guarded by two officers and twenty
seven men of the Third Pennsylvania Artillery, of
Fort Sampson.
Mrs. Davis and family and the wife of C. n. Clay
remain on board of the steamer Clyde, which has
been coaling all day, preparatory to carrying them
and Colonel Pritchard's command southward again.
