The children of Jefferson Davis have been
for some time in Canada, as is well known.
The two boys are just now iu Chambly, and
and üb< ut to enter Lennoxville College.—
The young girl, nine years of age, is a pupil
at. the convent of the Sacred Heart, Sault
au-Kecollete. Last Sabbath, several South
ern leftigees went to see her. They brought
with them the Federal General Cochrane,
whom they introduced to the girl, telling
her “ that he was a friend of the Southern
cause, although circumstances constrained
him to light iu the ranks of its enemies.—
The child, looking to the General, answer
ed : “ I shall believe that you are one of
the friends of our cause when you have ob
tained the release of my father.” The Gen
eral was deeply moved with this answer,
and promised to use all his influence on be
half of Mi. Jefferson Davis.
Davis to Conduct his Own Case.
Neic York, Oct. 27. —The Herald of to
morrow morning will announce all the de
tails of the arrangements of the Govern
ment for the trial of Jeff Davis. It ap
pears that the trial was decided upon in
Cabinet session in August last, and that
the Government has only waited for the
close of the Wertz trial to make the an
nouncement. The hopes entertained by
the friends of Davis since the speech of the
President to the South Carolina delega
tion, in which he intimated that clemency
towards Davis ought to be exercised, are
to be dashed to the earth. The trial is to
be before the Supreme Court at Wash
ington, and since Davis’ State has nullified
the ordinance of secession, instead of re
pealing it, he will be tried as if still a Sen
ator of the United States. It is supposed
that Mr. Chase will preside. The charge
will be that of treason, and will be confined
to a few specifications.
The purpose of the Government is not
merely to punish Davis, but to define the
nature nf trusiHOn fix its pnniahmnnt. rovenl
the cruelties of which it has beer, the
fruitful source, which will be a terror to
traitors hereafter, and forever disgrace the
treason which for a time was respectable
by reason of its power and formidable pro-
portions.
The Attorney General has selected the
counsel to aid him in the prosecution, and
Mr. Davis has been allowed to select his
attorneys. Mr. Speed will be assisted in
the prosecution by Major General Lovell
11. Rousseau, of Kentucky, Hon. Wm. M.
Evarts, of New York, and Hon. John H.
Clifford, of Massachusetts. Mr. Evarts
disputes with Charles O’Connor, the prin
cipal lawyer of Mr. Davis, for the front
rank among the lawyers of New York.—
He is probably the ablest criminal lawyer
retained in the case. Asa strong Repub
lican, he was the Seward-Weed candidate
for the Senate, when it was understood
that Senator Morgan was to be appointed
Secretary of the Treasury. He has never
held any political office, though he has
been prominent in politics. Mr. Clifford
was Attorney General of Massachusetts,
and won his firat legal laurels as the prose
cutor of Webster for the murder of Dr.
Parkman, in 1850. General Rousseau
and Mr. Speed are well known to the pub
lic. Charles O’Connor will be assisted by
Ransom H. Gillett, formerly Solicitor of
the Treasury in Buchanan’s days. It is
stated that Mr. Davis declares his inten
tion to conduct his case in person. —Special

Bill Arp on the State of the Country
“ Sweet land of Liberty, of thee I sing.”
Not much I don't, not at this time. If there is
anything sweet about liberty in this part of the
vineyard, I can’t see it. Tho land's good enuf,
and I wouldn’t mind heariu a hynte or two about
the dirt I live on, but as lor findin sugar or liberty I
in Georgy soil, it’s all a mistake. Howsutnever,
I’m hopeful. I’m much calmer and aerener than 1
was a few months ago. I begin to feel kindly to
wards all people, exsept some. I’m now endeav
erin to be a great national man. I've taken up a
tnottoe of no North, no South, no East, no West;
but let me tell you my frend, l’tl bet on Dixie as]
long as I’ve got a dollar. Its no harm to run both
skedules. In fakl its highly harmonious to do so. j
I’m a good Uuion reb, and my battle cry are
Dixie aud the Union.
But you see my frend, we are getlin restless
about some things. The war has bekum inity
heavy on us, aud after tbe big oollapae, we
thought it was over for good. We had killed
folks and killed folks uutil the novelty of tho thiug
had wore off aud wc were mitv nigh played out
all over. Children were increasin and vittels di
minishin. By a close calculasbun it was purseved
that we didn’t kill our enemies ns fast as thev
was imported, and about those times I thought it
was a pity that some inirakle ot grace hadn’t cut
off the breed of furriners some IS or 20 years
ago. Then you would have seed a fair fight.—
Gen. Sberman wouldn't hare walked over the
track, and Ulyses would have killed more men
than he did —of hit oion side. I have alwavs thot
that a General ought to be pertikler which side he
was sacrifisin.
Well, if the war is over, what’s the use ot
filiiu up our towns and cities with soldiers any
longer. Where’s your rekonstruktion that the pa-1
pers say isgoin on so rapidly? Where’s the lib-j
erty aud freedom ? The fakt is, Gen. Sherman
and his cuterpillers made such a clean sweep of I
everything, 1 don’t see much to rekonstrukt.— I
They took so many liberties around here that I
there’s nary liberty left. I could have rekonstrukt-1
ed a thousand sich States before this. Anybody!
could. There wasn’t nuthin to do but jest to go
off and let us alone. We’ve got plenty of States
men—plenty of men for Governor. Joe Brown]
aint dead—he’s a waitin—staudiu at the door]
with his hat off. Then what’s the soldiers here
for—what good are they doin—who wauts to see
’em any longer. Everybody is tired of the war,
aud we don’t want to see any more signs of it.
The niggers don’t want ’em, and the white men
don’t want ’em, aud as for the wimeu—whoopee !
I golly ! Well, there’s no use talkin—when the
stars fall agin maybe the wimen will be harmon
ized. That male bisness —that oath about gittin
letters! Gee tiger! They always was jealous
about the males anyhow, and that order jest brok
tbe camel’s back Well I must confess that it was
a powerful small concern. I would try to sorter
smooth it over if I kitowd what to say, but I don’t.
If they was afeered of the wimen why didn’t they
say so ? If they wasn’t, what do they make ’em <
swear for? Jest to aggrevate ’em? Didn’t they
know that the best way to harmonize a man, was
to harmonize bi3 wife first? What harm can the
wimen do by receivein their letters oath free?—
They can’t vote, nor they cau’t preach, nor hold
ofiiis, nor play soldier, nor musteY, nor wear
breeches, nor ride straddle, nor cuss, nor chaw
terbacker, uor do nuthin hardly but talk and rite
letters. 1 beam that a valant kernel made a wo
man put up her fan bekause it had a pikter of Bo
rygard ’pon it, Well she’s harmonized, I reckon.
Now the trouble of all sich is that after these
bayonets leave here and go home, these petticoat
tyrants cant come back any more. Some Gorgy
fool will mash the juce out of ’em, sertiu, and that]
wouldn’t be neither harmonious nor healthy. Bet
ter let the wimen alone.
Then there is another thiug I’m waitin for.]
Why don’t they rekoustrukt the niggers if they
are ever goiu to t They’ve give ’em a powerful
site of freedom, and devilish little else. Here’s
the big freedmen’s buro, and the little buros all
over the couutry, and the papers are full of grand
orders and special orders, and paragrafs, but I’ll
bet a possum that some of ’em steals my wood this
(I-VVHVO vv UVHVIU X 1 ccumau B UUnjTT
freedmun’s humbug I say. Jest when the corn
needed plowin the worst, the buro rung the bell
and tolled all the niggers to town, and the farmers
lost the crops, and now the freedman is gettin
cold and hungry, and wants to go back, and there
aint nuthln for ’em to go to. But freedom is a
big thing. Hurraw for freedom’s buro! Sweet
land of liberty, of thee I do*’t sing ! But its all
right. I’m for freedom myself. Nobody wants
any more slavery. If the abolishunists had let us
alone we would have fixed it up right a long time
ago, and we can fix it up now. The buro ain’t
fixed it, and ain’t agoin to. It don’t know any
thing about it. Our people have got a heap more
feelin for the poor nigger than any abolishuniat.
We are as poor as Job, but I’ll bet a dollar we can
raise more money in Rome to build a nigger
church than they did in Bostowu. The papers
say that after goin round for 3 weeks, the Bostown
Christians raised thirty-seven dollars to build a
nigger church in SavaHnab. They are powerful
on theory but devilish scace in practice.
But its no use talkin. Everybody will know by
waitin who’s been fooled. Mr. Johnson says he’s
gwine to experiment, that’s all he can do now—
it’s all anybody can do. Mr. Johnson’s head’s
level. I’m for him, and everybody ought to be
for him —only he’s powerful slow about some
things. I aiu’t a worshipping him. lie never
»nide me. I hear folks hollerin hurraw for Andy
Johnson, and the papers say, oh! he’s for us, he’s
he’s all right, he’s our frend. Well, spose he is,
hadn’t he ought to be ? Did you expekt him to
be a dog, or a black republican pup ? Because he
ain't a hagin of us, is it necessary to be plain hip
ocrit around the foot stool of power, aud makiu
out like he was the greatest man in the world,
and we was the greatest sinners? Who’s sorry?
Who’s repentin ? Who ain’t proud of our people ?
Who loves our enemies ? Nobody but a durned
sneak. I say let e’m hang and be hanged to ’em,
before I’d beg ’em for grace. Whar’s Sokrates,
whar’s Cato ? But if Andy holds his own, the
country’s safe, provided these general assemblys
and sinods, and Bishops’ conventions will keep
the devil and Brownlow tied. Here’s a passel ol
slink hearted fellers who played tory jest to dodge
bullitts or save property, now a howlin about for
offia —want everything bekause they was for
Union. They was for themselves, that’s all they
was for, and thev ain’t a goiu to git the offiscs
neither. Mr. Johnson aiu’t got no more respek
for ’em than I have. We want to trade ’em off.
By hoky, we’ll give two of ’em for one copper
head, aud ax nothin to boot. Let ’em Bhiuny on
their own side, and get over among the folks who
don’t want us reconstructed. There’s them
newspaper scriblers who slip down to the edge of
nyorr ‘>,l hours nnri neen over at us, OU tip
toe. Then they run back a puffin and blown with
a strait coat tail, and holler out, "He ain’t dead—
he aint’t dead—look out everybody. I’m just
from thar—seed bis toe move—heard him gruut;
he’s goin to rise agin. Don’t withdraw the sol
jers, but send down more troops iramegeately.”—
Aud here’s your Harper’s Weekly a headin all
sich—a gassin lies aud slanders in every issue—
raakin insulting pikters in everp sheet—breedin
everlastin discord, and ebawin bigger than ever
since we got licked. Wish old Stonewall had
cotch these Harpers at their ferry, and we boys
had known they was goin to keep up this devil
ment so long. We’d a made baptists ot them cer
tin, payroll or no payroll. Hurraw for a brave
soldier, I say, reb or no reb, yank or no yank;
hurraw for a manly foe aud a generous victor—
hurraw for our side too, I golly excuse' me, but
sich expressions will work their way out some
times, brakes or no brakes.
But I’m for Mr. Johnson. I’m for all the John
son’s—its a bully name. There’s our Governor,
who ain’t goin at a discount—and there’s Andy,
who is doin powerful well cousiderin, and there’s
the hero of Shiloh—peace to his noble ashes.
And there’s Joe—my bully Joe—wouldu’t I
walk ten miles of a rainy night to see them hazel
eyes, and feel the grip of his soldier hand. Didn’
my rooster always clap his wings and crow when
ever he passed our quarters ? ‘lnstinct told him
that he was the true prince,’ and it would make
anybody brave to be nigh him. I like all John
sons, even to Sam—L. C. He never levied on me
if he could get round it. For 20 years me and
Sam have been working together in the justice
court. I was an everlasting defendant, and Sam
the Constable, but he never sold my property nor
steered Mrs. Arp. Hurraw for the Johnsons!
Well, on the whole, there’s a heap of things to
be thankful for. I’m thankful the war is over—
that’s the big thing. Then I’m thanklul I ain’t a
black republican pup. I’m thankful that Thad
Stevens aud Sumner and Philips, nor none of their
1 kio ain’t no kin to me. I’m thankful for the high

A Startling Feat. —A few days ago, Harry Leo*
lie, the fuuambulist, performed a number of blood
curdling exploits in connection with a betteeo ao
cension of Prof. Lowe, from Central Park, IT. T.
When tbe balloon was over a thnaasai feet high,
two ropes were droped oat, and LeaSo throw him
self from the car, catching one of tho ropes in his
fall. Ilis first feat was hanging by one when
he changed his position and hang by his feet far
some time. Scrambling ap the rope, be next
placed the loop under back of bis neck, and there,
swaying backwards and forwards, be remained far
some time. His next feat was suspending
by the chin, and this time, ho could not have keen
less than half a mile high. In this he
dangled in the air, till finally, when ia the neigh*
borhood of High Bridge, be struck an attitade
placiog his bead in one loop and hie feet in tbe
other, and in the horiaontel position allowed him*
self to be toyed with by the winds. At this point,
Lowe insisted upon bis reterning to the car, nod
he did so.
Hit Lost Steamer Atlanta. —lt is stated that
tbe cargo of the steamer Atlanta, tbe lorn of which
[ on her passage between Sew York oad New Or»

llow Southern Merchants are Received at
the A orth. —The Charleston correspondent
of the Boston Advertiser has had e/mAltd
to him the following experiences of South
ern merchants:
I queried of the returning merchants on
the steamship how they were received in
the North. An Augusta man complained
that he could get no credit, and that there
was a disposition to bo grinding and exact
ing. One Charleston man said, “I asked
for sixty days, and got it without a word of
objection.” Another told me that he aaked
for four months, was given three, and treat
ed like a gentleman everywhere.
Another showed me the receipt for a debt
of about fifteen hundred dollars, contraoied
before the war, which he had paid in fall;
and be asked for four months on a bill of
eight thousand dollars, which was readily
given.
Still another settled his old indebtedness
with one-third cash, and eight and twelve
months’ notes for the balance, while he got
ninety days on three-fourths of his new bill.
One man said he had many friends in the
North, and they all knew he had been a
thorough rebel. lie expected some taunts,
but tried to carry himself like a gentleman,
and was courteously received, “even in Boa
ton.” These are specimens of a score of an
swers I have received to this question.
Queen Victoria'• Dominiont. — The Queen of
England is now sovereign over one continent, n
hundred peninsulas, five hundred promontoriee, a
thousand lakes, two thousand riven, and ten thou
sand islands. Her subjects number more than one

hand, she can summon an army of fire hundred
thousand soldiers, aud a navy of a thousand ships
of war and a hundred thousand sailor*. The
Assyrian empire was not so wealthy as that of
Great Britain ; the Roman empire waa not so
extensive ; the Arabian empire was not so power
ful ; the Carthagenian empire was not so much
