The cells in the Fortress have been in
of preparation for a ■week p ast for Jeff.
Davis and his partners in crime hjiing in readi

Genera! Miles, who is now in command of -this
'district, for the removal of the prisoners to the
qnarters provided for them. ' _

" that purpose, and left the Baltimori wharf at 11
O'clock to-dayi having on board M jor-General
, Miles, the new Commandant off n(is- District,
- '-and Colonel William E. James, Cfcief Quarter
master, together with a strong 'guard.
The Pierce immediately steamed alongside of
-the Clyde, on board of which steamer were con
- fined Jeff. Davis and his forhjrn crew, ever
" since their arrival in the harbor.'
General Miles at once boarded the'-Clyda and
despatched an officer of- tb.e guird to'order the
•r-arob traitor to report to him. Jeff, immediately
- made bis appearance. General Miles at once
-infdroied him that he was to be Removed from

bracing them coldly and without auy outward

beckoned his son' Jeff, and hade the young hope
ful to summon “ Bob,” his colored body ser

Jeff, shook him warmly by the hand and bade
him “Good bye.” In justice‘to “Bob” we
are constrained to say, that he not seem at
all sorry to part from his late waster.
The parting of .Mr. and Mia. Clement C.
■Olay was! much more demonstrative and affeot

do so. Aa the Pierce was about getting under

called oat to her husband, “Jeff! if they will

kind -of 'qnarters you have.”
Lieut Col. Pritchard, as /the steamer was
about leaving, stepped up to. Mrs. Davis and
bade bet adieu, when she said to the Colonel,
“this is very hard." At this moment we
thought of the many, many affecting partings
‘ -which took place between* loyal and loving
*■ hearts during the pasffour ! 'ears, all occasion

General Miles conducted himself like an
officer and a gentleman in the discharge of his
duties. No courtesies whatever were exchanged
with*the criminals. He performed his duty

HOW WE MAKE - HIBTOSY. >.
** r-'
Great nations operate on a grand scale. In
peace their progress in all that contributes to
the accumulation of power 5a marvelous ; in
war their blows npon their adversaries are tbs
blows of a tireless giant.
But little more than four years ago the na
tion was pursuing the pleasant paths of peace.
■For half a century no clarion of war had soun
ded in all oar borders; and men began to look
upon martial breach of the peace as remote, if
not indeed impossible ; upon martial display
as a popular folly. The wars through which
the nation had passed were of circumscribed
dimensions. They were remarkable rather for
duration than .vigor and intensity ; for results
rather than sanguinary slaughter and devasta
tion.
The late straggle came upon us like a clap
of thunder from a sky mottled with summer
cloud*-. True, some beard the mattering of
thunder as that of . a storm below a far and not
-threatening horizon. - - But the struggle came
to a people especially trained to arts of peace.
For a brief moment ,there was . a silence which
was felt; and then men abandoned the plow,,
the loom, and the anvil, and seised the nSusket
and the sword.
• For more than two years the struggle pre
sented more of the aspect of gladiatorial train
ing than well considered and effective war.—
But two years of field education rendered the
remaining two years the arbiters of the nation
al destiny. Then we made war open a scale
of grandeur hitherto unknown. If ever the
capabilities and temper of a people were tested
thoroughly, we who survive have bean specta
.tors of the trial. And the result shows that
in resources, powers of endurance, prowess,
and determination, the American people have,
no superiors and few equals. The awfal test
of this war has won for ns a place among the
ranking nations of the earth.
Bat little more than four years ago the pub
lic property in all hut four of the slave States
was in rebel hands, and held by rebel bayonets.
And when Abraham Lincoln ’proclaimed the
determination of the Government to repossess
and hold that which bad been treacherously
seized, the shallow thinkers and demagogues of
the North derided and sneered ; they declared
that the rebellion could not be put down; that
eight millions, could not be made subordinate
to law by twenty millions. They found the
key-note to their doleful prophecy in the Mess
age of Mr. Bnobanan and the coincident Opin
ion of Attorney-General Black, and the ground
for their confidence in their predetermined in
tention to make the Government's path to vie.
tofy as difficult as possible.
To-day, tne authority of the Government is
undisputed from the eastern honnfiary of Maine
to the Bio Grande. The immense armies of
Bebellion have yielded to superior endurance
and resources, and are now disbanded.
Look back upon the past four years I Is it
not marvelous? In all written history there
is no parallel to the achievements of that pe
riod. It presents, as in panorama, a great na
tion awaking from elysian dreams of peace to
behold the knife of the would-be patricide at
its heart; and after superhuman struggle, ta
ken unawares, menaced by cowards who ac
cepted its hospitality and bounty that they
might ply the trade of the assassin unsuspect
ed, forcing its malignant antagonist to take
refuge in caves and swamps; and at last, as
now, arising to meet the gaze -of an astonished
world, stronger for the trial, with the einews
of a giant, the soars of a veteran, and the mag
nanimity and moderation which characterize
the beneficent mylholdgio gods. He who has
lived intelligently during this great trial has
seen the growth of a century; and he who has
dared the dangers and wears the soars, like
him who perished in the fight, has won a bet
ter crown than ever pressed the brow, of a Cae
sar.
A grand font years. Testing men as men
have been tested seldom. Never was the dis
tinction between the “ summer soldier and
sunshine patriot," and the all-weather patriot,
so clearly fixed. This war has taught some to
look beyond and higher than party, and some,
by their narrow course, have taught.the world
how unequal they are to any notion whose field
Js the world, and whose object is the uplifting
of the race. Let the lints remain; they are
the defences of society against treachery and
deceit; and the teaching of men’s lives—-they
lodge in memory and are indestructible by
time. j
So we congratulate our public on the return
of peace, to the entire republic—-a peace coming
out of the subjugation of*the hosts of Treason,
and not out of compromise -with wrong, und
therefore enduring.
The trial of Dr. Blackburn in tbs Canada
Courts, is thoroughly revealing the fiendish
spirit of the rebellion. This Dr. Blaekbnrn is
a Kentuckian, and the evidence shows that, as
a paid agent of the Confederacy, he was en
trusted with the carrying out of a diabolical
plan to introdnce.yellowiever into all our sea
board cities. - .In furtherance of this devil’s
work he went to the West Indies, entered the
yellow fever and dolleoted all ths in-
THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR. j.
J fected clothing he could lay bands on. This
: be packed in Gunks and shipped to Canada,
I whence it was forwarded to his agents in New
York, Washington, Baltimore, and Newbem.
Happily, the infection took effect in Newborn
only.
It would seem that the rebellion is to go
down in history without a champion or apolo
gist'among Christian .peoples. Ite animus ia
now fully disclosed. • Indiscriminate 1 arson,
piracy, assassination, introduction of pestilence
into unsuspecting communities —these are the
deeds of devils, not of men. The world can
now see the instrumentalities which are em
ployed in the furtherance of a bad cause : and
the American people should recognize in the
creation and, use of thesi instrumentalities, the
malign influence of Slavery upon the master,
and right here, in the morning of peaoe, swear
to join hands and energies for the exorcism of
its troubled ghost. Give it no rest. Drive it
back to hell. Let its damnation be utter, and
without ermedg !
: JUNE 7, 1865,
The N. 7. Bcratd lately eame out with a
proposition to divide the public debt of three
billions into 300,000 shares of $lO,OOO each,
and paying it off by voluntary subscriptions.
Mr. Bennett took four shares to set the ball in
motion. Commodore Vanderbilt subscribed for
$500,000, and others for enough to bring the
amount donated up to about $3,000,000 last
Friday. This is all very welt; but we are not
of those who regard a national debt as neces
sarily a national evil. A debt of a thousand
millions, distributed through the entire country
will prove the strongest bond for good behav*
ior that can be imposed. Pay off the balance,
gentlemen, if you choose, but don't pick the
mortar from the new walls of the uprising and
renovated Union by paying it all. Let ns re
main a close corporation, whose venture is in
telligent Freedom, and whose dividends depend
upon unity.
The trial of the assassins is over. There
seems little hope that any of them can escape
conviction and hanging. The evidence for the
defence is chiefly negative in its bearing upon
the case, and cannot benefit the accused much.
The plea of insanity was set op in Ataerodt's
defence.»
Davis is indicted for treason, and will be ar
raigned before the U, S. Court in tbe District
of Colombia. Itis said hia trial will commence
at onoe. •
A Teibone correspondent, just arrived from
the Fortress, folly confirms tbe report that Jeff.
Davis was pat in irons, and that he expressed
bis dissent by knocking down two of the
guards before he was seoared. A little eccen
tricity was quite a relief to the monotony at
present prevailing at the Fortress.
Another of tbe conspirators has been-arres
ted very near the Canada line, and has been
brought here and lodged in the Arsenal.

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION!
Memphis, May 27.
The BuUetin's ; New Orleans special, of
May 26, says:
“On the evening of the 24th, the main ord
nance depot in Marshall's warehouse, Mobile,
blew np with a- terrible explosion. About
three hundred persons were killed and many
wounded, thousands being buried in the mins.
Eight entire squares of the city were demolish
ed, and about eight thousand hales of cotton
destroyed. The steamers Col. Cowles' and
Kate Dale, with all on board, were entirely
destroyed. A great portion of the business
centre of the city was destroyed. The total
lose is estimated at $3,000,000. General Gran
ger rendered prompt relief to the sfferers. The
cause of the explosion is uncertain. The or
dnance stores which exploded were a portion
of those surrendered by Dick Taylor, and were
in course of removal when it occurred. The
entire city was mote or leas injured by the ex
