In intimate relations with Mr. Davis,
and to attempt tosnbjeot this gentleman to
Uie discredit of having been guilty of cun
ning. and ambidextrous political manage
ment, in the instigation of a deceptions pub
lic movement intended to beguile ths North
ern Democracy, seems to mo to be one of the
most extraordinary proceedings Uxat I ever
heard of. The truth is, that never during my
stay in Richmond did I enjoy Mr. Davis’ po
litical confidence for one minute. I saw
fcim but three times in tliTee years, aud on
all the occasions my .interchange of words
with him was brief, at his office, end always
in presence of others. I did on no occasion
advise or confer with him, or with any mem
ber of his Cabinet, in regard to any move
ment which I contemplated making in Con
gress, and I certainly never bad •'reason to
conjecture that Mr. Davis had derived the
smallest gratification from any act performed
by me, or from any words uttered by me,
whilst I wo8 endeavoring conscientiously and
independently to perform my duty os Repre
sentative in the Confederate Congress from
the State of Tennessee. My relations with
Mr. Daria could not surely have been very
“intimate,” or even kind, when I was warm
ly opposing conscription, confiscation, forci
ble impressment, martial law, suspension of
habeas corpus, and other kindred measures;
or when J was moving resolutions of want of
confidence iu several of his Cabinet
officers; or when I waR denouncing Bragg,
Pemberton and Hindman, and vin
dicating Joe Johnson, Stonewall Jackson,
Gustavus Smith, Polk, Beauregard, Forrest
Morgan. Floyd, and Pillow. The truth is,
that I brought forward peace resolutions, or
counselled others to bring them forward, re- ;
peatedly, and always simply because I pre
ferred peace lo war, and thought it better to
strike for peace whilst a fair and honorable
one could l>e obtained instead of waiting, as
others thought liest, until our armies were all
dispersed and we should be compelled to sub
mit to inch terms ns the conqueror might im-
pi>so. \Vhnt I attempted in the interests of
peace I attempted openly, and I am not will
ing now that the bnrden of responsibility
should be shifted from my own shoulders to
those of any other individual whatever.
To Mr. Pollard’s disrespectful allusions and
inuendoes in reference to myself I have no
response to make. My acts arc before the
country. The history of the Confederate
struggle, and of the events which have auc-
reeded that straggle, Fill be hereafter written
by some calm, enlightened, and just-minded
individual, and what I have done of good or
of evil in the past will be lairly estimated by
posterity.
I shall patiently and cheerfully await the
test of “scrutiny of talents and of time.”

uncertain whether to risk ber fate with the

vengeance, and accompanied by Sue, who
was now without home or friends in this wild
world, he started for a neighboring camp of
bushwhackers or guerillas, where he was re
ceived with open arms, and was soon pro
moted to.tbo office of commander of the force,
while Sue, disguised and passing by the name
of “ Kit,” an abbreviation of Kite:radge,
proved invaluable as a spy, a fearless rider,
and df undoubted bravery. Kit; after serving
nearly twoyears as a spy and general planner
for the band, found her health Oiling, .Dis

on the staff of General Cleburne, the hardest

1804, in which Pat Olebnrne was killed. Re
turning to her yonthftil hero and liis baud,
she again revelled in the carnival of blood,
and though her evil spirit was willing, the
flesh was weak, and Kit was again transferred

On Saturday night, a four-story brick boose
fell npon a two-story dwelling in Buffalo,
completely demolishing it The occupants,
Mr. and Mrs. Colley and daughter, were

and hard labor, were dug out by a party of

At the time of the accident, Mr. Colley,
wife and child were asleep in their bedcham
ber, which was located on the aouth side of
the house, on the second floor. They were
awakened by tho crash of the falling wall.
Mr. C. thought the house was struck by light
ning. Iu an instant they felt tlie floor give
away; they dropped to the ground floor, or
very near to it, and then everything l>ecame

McMahon, Howe, Walker, Hamilton, and
Orton were in attendance, and did everything
in their power to alleviate hie sufferings, but,
as the day wore on, the paroxysms continued
to increase in frequency and intensity. In
the evening, after consultation, the medical
men decided to subject Wyatt to the in
fluence of a vapor bath, and for this pqrppse
he was firmly bound with ropes to a chair, to
which process the poor man stronglv ob

committing violence by the watchftiDcare of.

bonnd, and subjected to the vapor bath, fie
straggled severely in some of the paroxysms,
but did not succeed at any time in breaking
the bands that held him. Gradually, how
ever, he became weak from sheer exhaustion,
and at abont half-past nine, it was apparent
that he could not live for any length of time.
At ten o’clock, jnst twenty-four hours after
the first symptoms appeared, he died, appar
ently without a struggle. The sufferings ex
perienced during the Sabbath by poor Wyatt
are said to have been of the most intense and
horrid character, a'nd his screams were truly
heart-rending. Wyatt yras a laboring man,

cient iron crown was taken, as everybody
knows (so at least said my historian,)by Sir
William Wallace, from one of the Pharaohs,
during the Egyptian wars.
This may seeffi a surprising faot to many a
student of history, but so it was. Moreover,
this Wallace, -who was a patriotic individual,
guarded this crown sacredly for years, and
kept it hidden in a well, but afterward re
stored it to Robert the Brace at the time lie

Probably this may have been otter the cham
pion’s own head was stuck on London
bridgd—but never mind that According to
the ancient legends, the crown was never,
never to pass into the hands of the foreigner;
for if it should ever press the brow of an
English king, the consequences thereof, in
virtue of a treaty, would be—would be some
thing dreadfully calamitous to poor old Scot
land. Her rights would be annihilated for
ever, and the English king would acquire un
limited sway. . i .! t,

Negroes in Printing Offices.—A Wash

the negro spouter and politician, has two
sons (at least) in the Government employ
here: One is in the Treasury, quietly at*
work at his desk as a clerk; the other has
been assigned to “a case,” at the National
Printing Office. There may be some trouble
in respect to the last named “case.” I un

extent of ignoring them altogether. Two

and her Majesty was about to place the crown
upqn her brows. Bat the Duke‘drew his
sword-aud said, “Victoria, Qneen, lay down
that crown.” And the Queen looked up in a
wonder, and said, “My Duke, of Hamilton,
what meaneth this?” But the Duke only

Negbo Suffrage.—The odious negro suf
frage amendment was ratified by the lower
branch of the General Assembly, May 13th,
by a vote of 12G to 104. It has already been
ratified by the Senate. Nothing is now want
ing but the signature of the Governor to
madee the ratification complete. It is useless
to deny that all this has been done contrary
tn the. wishes of a majority of the people of
the State, and the tact that it was- so done
does not reflect much, credit upon the mem
bers of the Legislature, Aa the representa
tives of the people, .it was their duty to give
expression to the will of the people. This
they have not done; on the contrary, they
have defeated that will in the most objection
able manner possible. By the ratification of
the amendment, Connecticut is made to say,
not only that she will have negro suffrage,
but that she has voluntarily joined with Mas
sachusetts in her crusade against Elate inde
pendence and State rights. The Legislature
had no right to place the State in this false
position, aud none but a Radical body would
have done so.—Bridgeport Fhrmer.

The Language or. the Stock, Exchange.—
A. financial bear is a biped who seeks to de
preciate'the market value of stocks or the pre
mium on gold. A ^financial bull is a biped
who attempts to appreciate both. When n
bear has sold stocks or. gold to another party,
to a bull, for example-^-tbe Lear is said to be
short in. stocks or iu gold, while the bull is
long. When a bear shows’a .disposition, tq
cover his shorts there is a probability that he
is of the opinion that there is about to bo a
rise In the market price of the stocks or gold
of-which he ft short,*or else that they nave
fallen to a point which will give him tfie
prioe for whloh he has “ojferated” of specula
ted. -Whon a bear “earnestly desires” t6
cover, it shows that he is verir much afraid
the market will rise, 1 - or very anxious to
realize the profit hi has gained. The
figurative use of VuU and bear in’financial
circles is probably bailed on the circumstance
that a bcar paWs down ‘(values) while a bull
