President Davis arid tUte Federal Spies, Webster and Qoanelly. . I From a communication of tlie fiev. John D. Kelley, published in the Petersburg Index of Friday last, we make the following* extracts. 4 Webster, a native of Kentucky, was-hung at Camp Lee in 18G2, and it has aetfir been denied that he was a spy in the pay of the auQmrities at Washington. His ostensible business iu Hiclimoud was blockade-running and carrying let ters to and fro across the lines. It was his practice to submit all letters entrusted to him to the Federal authorities. Mr. Keiley says of him : The first time I saw him was on the occasion of my visit to Parke. He was heavily ironed, looked greatly distressed and auxious, and at first seemed unwilling to give me his confidence. I thought hfe hesitancy may have been caused by the sentinel in his cell, who was pacing the floor with his gun at fixed bayonet on his shoulaer. I got this sentinel removed for a while, and, after a little talk, Webster told me the most fa vorable side of his case, mentioned many things which it might be unjust to the living to reveal at present; and, upon the whole, made a rather favorable impression on my mind._-.lt ought to be mentioned here, that a long continued course of visitation of prisons and prisoners had developed a kind of power —half feeling, half thought, by which the shadings of truth and lalseLood, in their statements, W'ere received. I was convinced from some evidence afforded me by Webster, that there were many mitigating circum stances in his case. That conviction was imparted and in a measure partaken of by the authorities. The execution was put off. I obtained passports to -go through our lines to Stafford mid Loudoun counties to collect the evidence necessary to verify Webster’s statements. Unfortunately, I could not get through the Federal lines; but the poor fellow was reprieved from time to time, and it was only when I had to give up all hope of getting to his home that he was exe cuted. Gur people wondered why this execution was put off from time to time. Here is the secret. This was one of the lew occasions in my life in which it seemed to me desirable to belong to that muddle- headed c!as<?, the money-lovers and the money-havers. If I had had money, then I could have managed to have gotten through the lines, and might have been the instrument of saving this man’s life. The au thorities gave me every opportunity. None more so than our beloved President. I have no doubt now—I had none then—that Webster was, in a good measure, guilty as charged; but the shocking sternness and ramrodism which characterize court-martial excluded, in effect, every modifying peculiarity that lessened the onus of crime. I had a voluminous lot of papers about Webster, which it was my purpose to puce in the hands of his friends at the close of the war; but, alas! the vandals tore them up and scattered them along with all my other things, on that 3d of April. 1865. Yet I dqnot greatly blame these wicked, be cause foolish men. Their trade was destruction; their business Was ruin. Of Donnelly, Mr. Keily says; This young man, a native of New York, but recent ly from New Orleans, was sentenced to be shot as a Federal spy. In my visits to the jail, he crouched off in a corner, and seemed desirous of eluding me, but at last I got him to tell me the particulars of his esse, which were so favorable that, if properly substantia ted, I felt certain he would be pardoned. I got a good hearted man. Mr. Heath, who now keeps a grocery stare up Halifax street, to go to a station on the Nor folk railroad and get me the affidavit of a magistrate and his wile, in the immediate vicinity of tile Federal lines, touching the material poiuts in this case, snd had them laid, witli a personal explanation, before General Cooper, who promised me that the case would be ati ended to. 1 had previously tried all efforts with the authorities here in vain. On a Sunday morning on visiting tbe jail, I learned with dismay that an of ficer had been there a few minutes before, and had read the death warrant of the prisoner, who was to be shot next morning at the Fair Grounds. Before going to the church I sent this dispatch to the President:— “ A man is going to be shot here to-morrow as a spy, who is innocent—please forbid it •*J. D. Keu,*Y.” I received a message shortly after, saying that *• J, D. Keiley shall not be shot to-morrow nor any other day. “ By order of Jeff. Davis/’ On applying at the office of the commanding General here, I learned that they had received a despatch for bidding the contemplated execution. In my anxiety and haste I had forgot, en to mention the prisoner’s name, hence the tenor of this dispatch. The affida vits were recovered and laid before the President, and in due time the prisoner was discharged. His aged and venerable mother sent me afterwards letters of .thanks, and promised tnat she would pray for me as long as she lived. Precious beyond diamonds to me are these letters and prayers. The success attending the^e various efforts, and a great many others of a like kind, led me to believe that the President of tbe United States would, give a favorable hearing to the case of one who, when in su preme power, was him self so accessible to appeals of this sort—one wfr°» unlike these partially guUty par ties, was the idol of us all for his stainless jpurjty of character, and Ui9 massive strength of int^Uept. I was not so successful as 1 nod hoped to be, on account of the unsettled state of the country. But I do not by any means despair. The success of oqr Jforihern brethren in their elections may soften their hearts, and make them more willing to be merciful. There is so much of intrinsic deception in the mere nimbus of political parties, for the sake of affecting the votes of ti e unintelligent and impulsive, that I have no don^t the medium portion of all parties in this Chrit- tiau.lau4.jr ie*n wall and will tpy |o dc 4 wrii gud nil try to do what is right, WOMAN’S RIGHTS* Klixabeth Cady Stanton fbr Confresa« To the Electors of the Eighth Congressional DtstriQt • Although by tbe Constitution of the State of Hew York woman is denied the elective franchise, yet shs is eligib.e to office, therefore I present myself to you as a candidate for Representative to Congress. Be longing to a. disfranchised class, I have no political antecedents to recommend pie to .your support, but lay creed is-ffee speech, free press, free men and free trade—the cardinal points of Democracy. Viewing all things from the stand-point of principle rather than expediency, there is a fixed uniiorm law, as yet unre- uized by either of the leading parties, governing te the social and political life of men andnations. Ifce a ublioah party has occasionally a clear vision of pereo rights,while iu the protective policy it seems wholly blind to the rights of property and interests in oegt- merce ; while it recognizes the duty of benevolence between man and man, it teaches the narrowest sel* fiahnesB to trade between nations. The QemocratSs ou the contrary,' while holding sound and liberal principled in frade and Commerce, have ever! in their, political affiliations maintained the idea of class and caBte among men, au idea wholly at variance with the genius of our free institutions, and fatal ifta^Jtigh civilization. Oue party fails at one point, and one at another. In asking your suffrages—believing alike in free men and free trade—I could not as now constituted. iverthch ss, as an independent candidate, Z desire lection at this time as a rebuke to the dominant party for Us retrogressive legislation in ao amending the.Constitutiou as to malio invidigns distinctions on the^round of sex. ’ ^ That instrument recognises ns persons all eitizeaa who obey the laws and support the State, and if the constitutions of the several States were brought Into harmony with the breed principles of the Federal Constitution, the women of the nation would no long er bo taxed without representation, or governed without their consent One word should not be added to that great charter of rights to the insult or injury of the bumbfcst of our citizens.

The course he pursued during the war, step by step, was familiar to all. And now that the crisis has came, now that. the.Pvafcidcnt declares that there is a body of men .called Congress, *'hanging upon the verge of the Govirmnrmt/’ mow that he is evidently bent upon revolutionary business —I say revolutionary buslBces—the man whj is put in nomination here to-day is pledged to impeach him beiore the people of the great Northwest.

[Applause.} Ymi will say that there is : np form & involuntary labor, no : classes, no serfdom, no legalized and organized form of slavery, ufider any name whatever. For this is the danger now. That by the acquisition oT power bf South, the speaker proceeded to say the old system Of caste, clas? and serfdom might be rc-esiablished, and, he continued, he would a thousand times prefer that thau the system of oppression, which took away free speech iu the South aud shot down men iu the streets of Memphis and New Orleans. He behoved that the rime had come when the principles of government, enunciated in Massachusetts, fought for and defended for the last four years, should become the principles of government of the whole land. A reference to the fact announced by the result of the recent elections, that Massachusetts did not stand alone iu that ground, drew forth profuse applause. In conclusion, he agaip congratulated them upon then* nomination, compli menting those who had sepvetTthe district iu tlie f ast, and urging all to come forward and elect Gen!

MYRBt.L Power of a Good Man’s Life.—The beauty of a holy life, says Chalmers, consti tutes the most eloquent ana effective per suasive to religion which one human being can address to another. We have many ways of doing good to oui fellow-creatures, bnt none so efficacious as leading a virtuous, upright, and well-ordered life. There is an energy of moral Buasion in a good man’s life, passing the highest efforts of the orator’s ge nius. The seen but silent beauty of holiness speaks more eloquently of God and duty than the tongues of men and angels. Let parents remember this. The best inheritance & pa rent can bequeath to a child is a virtuous ex ample, a legacy of hallowed remembrances and associations. The beatity of holiness Reaming through the life of a loved relative or friend is more effectual to strengthen such as do stand in virtne’s ways, and raise up those that are bowed down, than precept, command, entreaty, or warning. Chris tianity itself f believe, owes by far the greater part of its moral power, not to the preeepta or parables .of Christ, but to bis own character. The beraty of that holiness which is enshrined in the four brief biogra phies of the man of Nazareth, has done more, and wiR do more to regenerate the world and bring in an everlasting righteous ness than all the other agencies put together. It has done more to spread bis religion in the world than all that has ever been written on the evidence* of Christianity Unfobtukatz, Vebt.—A young medical student from Michigan, who had been attending lectures in New York tor some ttme, and who oAtsjflartd himeell exceedingly good-looking and fascinating, made a deadly anaet on tka heart and fortune of a blooming young lady in tha same family with him.

The “other little darlings’’ arrived Benben was six yesrs, James nine and Augustas, a saucy boy of twelve. They were de lighted to bear that they had a new papa, because they gquld now live at home, and have all the plaything!, tin. wanted. The “now papa," as soon as be could speak, remarked that Augustas and Jamas did not much resemble Beuben and Am«n«. “Well, no.” said tbe happy mother; my first hus band was quite a different style of msn from my seo- ond—complexion, temperament, the color or hair aud eyes all different."
