Montreal correspondent of Le *«..y -i-- *-I H —,l y|- g*«*» —I» -- 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 te Cminmti Gazette.

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 Vol LXUI—No. ltd privilege of hatiag afl Mcb.

A 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» leans was announced by telegraph a few dayssmee, consisted of 1,178 bales of cotton, 300 boxes of cundlcs and one box of merchandise. Her passen ger list included Miss Wolf, O. Livingston, ChpC M. R. Wilson, C. S. Smith, D. Myers and Indy, H. H. Maloney, W. H. Lawsory, D. Dexter and Kobe Cole. Four boats left tbe making croft, one of which contained three ladies, a child and passengers; this capsized, and all were lest. Two other boats were upset. Only one, containing four persons, can have survived. Death of Com. Missroon. —A Boston dis patch, of the 24th says: Commodore John S. Miasrooo, United States Navy Ordnance Officer at the Charlestown Navy Yard, died yesterday, lie was a native of South Carolina, and entered the service in 1824. The funeral services over tho remains of the late John Downs, United States Navy, who died at New Orleans, September 21, took place to-day at the resilience of his brother-in-law, in this city. Numerous officers of tho Navy were present, includ ing Rear Admiral Htringham. x no ijit vffiinu nonim gives, as M evidence of the rapid growth of that oily, that the total number of new churches, stores, dwellings, and manufacturing estab lishments, erected since January 1, 1865* including those oommenced at thia time and not completed, as taken by the letter-carriers, is six hundred and thirty-six. 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 hundred and fifty millions. By a wave of her 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 dreaded; the Spanish empire was not so widaly diffused. General Magruder. —An exchange paper says : “ The rebel General Magruder it on a visit to bis sister in England, who is the wife of Lord Abingcr. Miss Magruderer was formerly one of the belles of Washing ton, where Lord Abinger, formerly station ed with his regiment in Canada, made her acquaintance.” |©“Captain C. C.
