i Tho follegtng is an extract from a Liter
from New York, published in the JJ-ihitnore
Episcopal Mcilum/isl of the 4th instant:
A Southern larfy ca a vi it to this city
went to worship in one of tho up t, \vn
churchps. Soon after, an elegantly attired
New York lady, of Ligh social standing
j entered tie satao pew and remained during
service; after v. hell tho Southern lady
call and her aside into the v. st-y rcotn
I and iu the presence of the icclor, with
I whom she was acquainted, thus addres-ed
her : “Madam Ido not with to offind you,
| but that shawl you are weaving is mine.”
(The shawl was :a snpetl> one.) 'The New
; Yorker protested, and declarod there must he
some mistake. “If,” said the Southern
ilady you will exa.raiuo a certain e* irner, you
will see my initials worked in it, and the
j reotor knows my name very wo il.” Tho
i corner was fimnd as well as tNo initials
The Sou'kern lady then remarked, “That
. ring you have on your finger is mine, and
if you will t ike the trouble t) ex imioe the
in ids, you will see the same initials tngrav
iediutbe ring ,r Similar moremonts as
| tjjove described, teiik place, and wi'.h sitai-
Inr results
j Turning to her again, Tho Southern lady
I said.. "Madam, that bracelet you have on
is mine also, au 1 by pressing a spring on
the i’iside, it will unclasp-ana sh iw you
my portrait.” The New York lady did as
requested, and th-re was lha lady’s por
trait Si e prom; tly returned the nng and
bracel t, as shat was c nwincod beyond power
to eon'r :rt it, that they were the property
of the : - hern lady, and remarked as she
.did so, “.hay we jours, and you arc wel
come to them, but as I wore the shawl to
ctiurih, I must beg the privilege of wearing
it home again.” The Southern lady aoce led, i
of courte, and they exchanged cirds. The j
shawl came back in duo time, but the New :
York lady had probably obtained the arti
ctes in su h a manner as to render it too uu
plensart to divulge. No more was said j
about it. Moral: If Southern Indies want
to know where their articles of missingjow
dry and wardrobe furniture are, fi t them
attrrfl sotr a fashion iible, “up-to wit,” New
Yo.k church, and if the men want to know
w hat has beci me of their tine horses, shipped

them spend an evening in Central Park.

hare the following foundation, and n i more :
Tl e lapie of titno has entirely dispyl :d tho
assassinatiou charge ag inst Mr. Davis. For
eight months his bitterest enemies have
;;beca dragging the fswt ts atid gatters of so
ciety for cn nturcs base enough, degraded
enough, to swear to Lise hoods roady-uiadc
to put in their mouths They have found
few suah creatures > hut, a? Mr. 14'gers’
masterly report shows that they have not
found one sbred of evidence that could go
before the jury. The President has been
fearfully deceived by thus; men. They have
constmtly assured him that there was abun
dant evidence to convict Mr. Davis of tom
| licity in the assassination. But now when
they had oadfosscdly fai'ed to n tik ■ go id tbis
assertion, whsu it is evident Mr.. Davie must
bo tried for treason or not Sricd at pH, the
Precident has determined that be shall no
longer be held in military custody ; for, be it
remombered, that Mr. Davis is luld a pri -
oner of war —a prisoner cf war six-tccn
months after the termination of the w ar.
It is a grave offense against the laws (f the
nation, to bold prisoners < f war after the war
has ended; and, therefore,, it is said the
President has determined that Mr. Davis
shall be cither at once released, or else hand
ed over to tbo custody of the civil authori
ties. Fucli, I believe, after diligent inquiry,
to be the f> undatiou of the rep 1 1 that Mr.
