An emi-sarj from 51 axiindlian, bearing letters to Marquesc.-saying Quaretaro could hold out ni longer, was captured by the Liberals and executed. Jaurcz had issued a decree withdrawing nil privileges from the citizens of any European country who re eognifttl the Umpire, and abolishing all treaty stipulations with thoso powers.

TIIF, CASE OF DAVIS —It is learned today from the counsel for Jeff. Davis that they applied a few days since to Chief Justice ('base for a writ of ha beas eorptt* in behalf of their client, j which the Chief Justice declined then to j entertain Application was then made to ! Judge Underwood of the United States ! District Court 1 y the counsel of Davis for a writ of habeiis corpus, and the same was granted, returnable before the Court of that District on the second Monday of this month, at Richmond. TIIO coun sel appearing here to-day was (Jeorgc Shea, of New York city. The object of the writ is to get Davis before the Court with a view to his trial or discharge. It j remains to be seen whether lieneral Ilur ton, in command at Fortress Monroe, will produco Davis in Court. TIIF starvation po'nt that I.as been reach- i ed in South Carolina is eii b>ntly only rela tive. That point of famine whi hno longer admits of fastidiousness in tho choice of food has notyot been arrived at; They are hungry, but some delicacy of appetite yet remains. Thus for instance. General Sick les, writing to"he chairman of the southern Relief Committee in Bost>n, says ; "If you send corn meal let me suggest that you 8' nd white meal; for white persons will not Travel. . The old slavery politicians aie practicing 1 in an entirely new field, and appear to b« 1 badly embarrassed in tho work. They are trying to make something out of the negroes ' for their political purpose;, hut find ttiem selve- embarrassvd by the factthat they lo3n I whites by the oporuti n fa i'.v than they gain j blacks. Tho Richmond Knqnirci uttcis a ' ' caution on this poi t, which also shows how ! zealous the effort lias been to sc.uro the votes of the negroes. The cam ion is in these wnrds .

But the same class of politicians have sweeot talk for those of the blacks who will li-ten to it, who aie addressed and sp ken of as '• The sensible and reasonable of (he colored people," who are to be ' encourage 1" and ** recognized as friends.'' 'the policy evidently is to ire:ne divisions among the backs, which is a delicate operation, be cause tho tl ittery addressed to the blacks makes also a division among the whites.— Ilence the endeavor to divide the blacks is ncconipnnied wiih. 11 pa's ornate appeal to the whites .to be united, nnd this enforced witli all the terrors associated, in the ewjitod im agination, will the triumph of llunnieutt atid the negroes.

C. E. ANDERSON, C.VH. JOHN C. MOORF, Sec'y. ,1 Xntioxial Homo for Et:tvn!i«l Soldier*. Measures are now in hand which are escalated, after the lapse of a few mouths. ! to establish, on a grand scale, the desi i deratutn—a National Homo for Invalid Soldiers. Tho design is an admirable j one, and is as follows : It is well known that all efforts to eibtain voluntary sub I acriptionj sufficient to erect a Soldiers' Home have been without avail. In fur j Ihcranco of this object, however, tho Leg islature of Pennsylvania have passed an act dated March 0, 1867, creating a cor poration of which M:jjor General George. | G. .Meade is President, and General Ho ratio G. Sickels ii Treasurer, with an j efficient b aid of Supervisors, who have the powi r to distribute to the holders of certificates a lar ;e ii'.unbjr of immensely i valuable gifts, consisting of dta . onds, | pearls, emeralds, rubies, &c.. purchased from citizens if tho Southern Suites dur. ing the rebellion, and which article.! will soon he exhibited in Philadelphia, liy ; this scheme it is confidently anticipated • a large fnad will be created towards the erection of the Home. A great feature of the affair consist! in the fact that ev ery purchaser of tho certificates becomes : a contributor to this National Home fund, | and at the same time has a direct inter est in tho distribution of tho rate gems I mentioned above. The details of the 011- | tire scheme will be conducted in a per Icitly fu'r and honorable manner. The ! site for the Home has already been pur I chased, and consists of thirty acres of S iand, used by General Meade during the ! battle of Gettysburg as his headquarters j The plan has been approved by ex Govs 1 crnor Curtin, Major General Meade, Gov. Geary, and a large number of prominent military heroes. The object in view is «ertainly of such a character as to com 1 mend it to every patriot. That wo should > erect an Asylum for tho comfort and : maintenance of our invalid soldiers, no | one will deny; and every individual, ] who is now enjoying the rich blessings of peace purchased by tbo blood and suf ferings ol the noble dead, and the maim ed and suffering survivals, should lend a helping hat.d in this good and humane enterprise—not 011 tho grounds of being rewarded by drawing a prize, but from a deep sense of gratitude to the surviving sufferers, and a true and living respect for tho memory of the patriotic dead. Will tl;ere hen Summer Session ! ol" Congress ? The Washington correspondent of u Chi cago paper my, there bus been a good ileal of talk during the la-t ton or twelve d.fVs about a summer session of Congress. The number of these who argue that there should be one is greater than the number of who believe there will be one. A very large ! body of tho-e technically called Radicals stand ready with a score of reasons why such a session should beheld ; but when brought down to give an answer, most of them own that tho country does not seem to demand it. Three-fourths, at least, of the Republi cans here last week were of the opinion that there would he no quorum present at the time fixed in July for a re-assemnliug, un less events occur ot which there is now no foreshadowing. The offices were filled much mofe generally than it was supposed a month ago that they would be, and thus far the President manifests a reasonably good disposition to aid in the execution of the new Reconstruction Law. If he con tinues in good ways I see little prospect of a summer session. A sweet woman's soul sits and looks out of a bright eye like a cat out of a sunny j window. Southern Fuiulnc Kolief Fmxt. !

A corres pondent of the Pall Mall Gazelle writes from Constantinople : " Arms and nuiunitiou to a large extent, have been brought in recent ly, and although the importation has not been allowed, smuggling has hi en actively carried on. I have it on tte authority <>f j the lending hnuso in the trad • that many thoasunds of revolvers have been sold during the past week. These arris are not re-ex ported, but remain here, (or whit purpose is yet to be seen. An uneasy feeling exists m re especially among the Mussulmans, but w'leather they mean mischief, no one can yet positively say. The ferment aiming a section of the Franks is easily undeistood by tlft tact ol Kussian ngenoj being actively at work. We are as fiv-t as possible dtifiing toward great and dnngornux complications, and tho Eastern rpie-ti- n will, in coming events assume vastly wider proportions than W'C have yet known. As an evidence that there is reason to apprehend tome move ment amongst the fanatical secti. n >.f the Mussulmans, I may mention that »o b's« than a hundred of that paity were recendy arrested, and without any form of trial, suni mar:ly sent away to a remote province in a Government steamer'" AMIRICAN BOND- IN EI HOI'P. —The Xew York CotHMeraitilf (niniii-y aitiolc,) of Tuat* dav evening, says; Ti e tneign inoveanott of bonds is quite uncertain.

And again, with tin' pre vailing low rates of money at London and on the continent it is not supposable that foreign balances held here will be el soly drawn down. Inter all these circumstanoi s, it is open to grave que-tion whether (lie prospect of exchanges wariants the expec tation of an exportation of specie sufficiently largo to neutralize the effect of the disburse ment of nearly twenty-five millions of gold on the May coupons. AFFAIRS IN LIBERIA.—A letter from Mon raviii, February 9th, gives a favorable ac count of ufftiirs in Liberia.

The people are generally pmgpor- I ous, and the export tr.nl© is increasing POSTPONEMENT OF WAR I here is one little mutter, says tho Pittsburgh Comrner cial, connected with the eager willingness of Napoleon t. tide over a res >rt to tlni last ap peal of a rms for the current year, to winch I sufficient consideration bus not been given. He ha< set his heart upon the success of liis great International exposition, and he knows that interest in a comparative display of the arte of Peace cannot bo excited nor main tained while War is going on, or even threat ening. He will make almost uny sacrifice to postpone actual hostilities for a year, but twelve months of a restraint will only make ! the dogs of war the fl-rcer when they are | eventually loosed from the leash.

Johnston Williamson, an old and respectable citizen of Middle sex township, was found hanging dead in the woods a short distance from his o ?ri hi'use. An inquest was held i n the body by Esquire Barclay, who sjnUtuoned a jury of the neighbors of the deceased, to inquire into the cause of tho rash act, who examined several witne-ses in regard to the ease. It appeared from the evi dence that deceased bad boen unwell for some time previous to the rash act, and had been in a melancholy state of mind for some time, and on the day of his dea'h appeared as well as uruul, and ate his dinner wi'h his family as usual at half past eleven o'clock ; alter which he pro" cured a small piece of rope, aud a check liue, and proceeded to the woods, where there was a lodged tree which had fallen and lodged at au an;;!e of about 3a de grees, where he had deliberately attached :he line to the tree, with the rope around bis neck, to which he fasttccd one end of the line and then swung off, falling about three feet. He was found about five minutec pist twelve o'clock by George Potts, who hap. pened to be passing that way. Deceai-ed was fifty four years of ape, anif was iu j g.nd circumstances.

Why shtuld not we follow His example? It is hard for fallen crea tures to do s* without bit'ngand devour ing each other. Now let ui impartially ti a view of this grand subject The author of the strictures on Mr. William Allen (Rev. iV. 11. Tibbies.) asks:— 1 Where is it affirmed in the Scriptures that God lias prepared a manual of praise for his followers, and commanded them to u-e this manual and this alone?" are commanded to the text (ju-ttod fn«m Kphosiuns, does he not know (he is a Hebrew seh»»lar) that the title t» some of th.j psalms means a song, to others a hymn, and ot 1 ! era a psalm. Again ho neks: 44 Where can it.l e found in the Uilde that Goc Ooinmarids to sing in His worship nothing but in spired words. Has lie commanded us to ofTc any thing uninspired in his praise ? Men may, and do err, and therefore their songs will l>e like themselves full of or ror j ,; but the Bible psalms cannot be HO because the Divine author cinnot err Mai. i, I I : 4 * Cursed l»c the deceiver who hath in his flock a male and sacrificeth to the Lord a corrupt thing." Again ; 4t Is KCUFO'A version of Da\id'n Ps ilms any more inspired than • thers nun rtd.' 1 I answer no, and, A- I !»»*•(. nln-wn before tha it i- no version at all, but afcruns lation, I leave this to tl.o render to ponder 112 r him-elf. Again : 44 Why not bring down circumc ion, an 1 other an«o» nt r tes an 1 c rem nies? ' Thn church, under the*oM dispensation, wi.s oily administered dilFe;ently from what it now is. The church is one in all ages; praise was no typo or ceremony, and therefore can not he dispensed with (in God's songs, as you have it in the cxxxviirli Pi*aim,) un ler the new dispensation God in the same through all ages, and for that reason re quires the Himo praise. Again: "Can u man who confines bis -inging to psalms ul ne, ever si g praise to the Father f«»r having given his Son to die tor him V' A tonishing! The writer, surely, never studies the meaning of those beautiful songs that (I almost '■aid) every ver.-e is Christ. I think if he would study them more he would, like the ap »>tl a, qu- to and understand them more fuily. If ad would study and sing them, more than is now done, it wouUl undoubtedly have the ten- ' de cy to love that Saviour whom hey o plainly present before our view on every page* Christ is the leader io a I tin se Dt» vine 8 »ng".

Let the l i writer examine the 22d, 31st, 38th, 40th, 69th, 107 th, and a host of other psalms. Again : 44 D e* the psi\hn singer ever sing the name Savior, Christ, in a life time? ' I)i the siiig"is of uniuspiied songs worship those numoi on'v, or the (iersou to whom they refer? Who does the naino Lord refer to so often mentioned in the inspirod psalms, us ruling the i a'ions, overturning the mach* initionsof the wicked, and defending His church? Is it not the second person of the glorious Trinity? Und"ubtedly it is. Ho is the ruler of the universe. L» ok at tho last verse of the xixth psalm. Who is that 44 K deemer" you say a ps.ilin singer cannot sing during a life time? He could nut miss sitigii git, unless ho would -kip over it, as hymn singers do over all of them. Who is that 4< Savior " mentioned in the lxsxviiitli psalm, Ist ver e? That was only overlook ed. Who is that 41 Holy One of Israel," Ixxxixth psalm, 18th verso? 14 The Lord my Old," exist p aim, 2d verse. "Our dwelling-place," xe. Ist. t4 The hearer of pra\or," cii. 1, " My Lord," and the 4 Glo rious and mighty Lord that sits at Thy right hand," psalm ex. These, with huudrods of other p'ac s, are plain enough to convinco any unprejudiced mind that nine t ther than the Son if (1 lis meant, lam astonished that one so well versed iti the sacrod volume sh ukl overlook those texts.. Now, t » coin lule; sf tho church is one in all ag 8, how did tho people of Cod under t e 112 irmer dispensation praise Him in tho inspired psalms, with reference to their sal vation through tie Savi r? How do thoso who pretend to praisi G>l with uninspired s..ngi, prai-e lino lor lliti justiee? The cominoriiy received opinion is, that 00l is not so jii-t now as un ler the former dispens sation; and ben e tlic of d-searding snin-» of the "eursiny psalin*," as the cixth, Ixisth, and others, are termed. Wo need tho.-e very psahns to piaist Cod for 11 is jus-ice Thoso psalms show t»io work of Christ in d -tn ying His, and His church's enemie*. I). A. UKNFUEW.
