Jeff. Davis. [From the Fon du hue Press, Wisconsin.] i.TI’IXTED RELEASE—VIGOROUS IMPRIS ONMENT. We have always regarded it as a fixed Uct, that sooner or later Jefferson Davis bould be to trial Needed him, h_ fincmcnt to which lie had bcCu subjected CONVICTION H would be impossible to convict him ns a traitor, before any court, except, in deed, a military commission, composed of eucli creattirbS as the men who pronoun ced the death sentence upon Mrs. Surratt, whose memories rill be execrated to all coming time. Not only did Jefferson Davis commit no act of treason, but we believe that first, last and always his acts were governed by motives of the purest and most disinteres ted patriotism. IFc betrayed no sacred trust, lie made no effort to elevate him self to positions bf honor and p'ottef, like a selfish aspiring politician ; but of all the brilliant array of Southern talent, elo quence, and genius, assembled in the Senate chamber at Washington, he was the acklowledgcd leader and superior of all. When the people of the State' he repicscntod called upon him as their rep resentative to withdraw from Congress, lie promptly responded, and of all the Southern members who bowed the haugh ty farewell to the Senate, ho made the most polished and courtly adieu. At the time the Government of the Confederacy was formed, his vast experi ence and uncqualed abilities as a states man, made him emphatically the political leader of the South, while his pleasing address and intellectual superiority over all the other distinguished men of the South, made him the idol of the Southern people, lie accepted (lie position of Pres ident., not with any design of building up for himself a splendid fortune and en during fame, but because he was chosen to fill' that position by the unanimous voice of eight millions of people, and be cause lie deemed it bis sacred duty as a patriot to remain true to the South in her hour of peril. TRUE PICTURE OF SOUTHERN FEELING. llow far he erred in making bis final decision, winch cast bis fortunes with those of the Southern people, it is idle now to inquire ; to-day as a traitor, though lie is branded, we honor and respect him, while we despise such vile, base creatures .ns Potts ami Prownlow, and can truly IbeKcvc that Washington was not more ‘beloved and admired by the patriots of the Revolution than is Jefferson Davis by the Southern people to-day. History fails to point us an example of more entire unanimity—we search the records of man kind in vain to find an instance surpass ing the love and devotedness they have exhibited for him. HR. DAVIS TUE LEADING STAR. IN TIIE SENATE It is the superiority of Jefferson Davis which has caused all his persecution and suffering. The abolition fiends well know Chat he was no ordinary man, whose ge nius was so long the brightest star in the Senate—they know it was no weak, com mon mortal who for lour years controlled the destiny of eight millions of people, and they fear the influence which bis giant intellect and matchless eloquence would exert in moulding the future desti ny of America. Knowing that it is im possible to convict him of treason, they hope to dispose of him by the slow tor ture of confinement and privation. HIS DIGNIFIED SUFFERING—TIIE SAME STATELY MIEN.

No one could have read the history of the past without feeling a deep regard for the President Of the United States—without seeing in him the man of all others suited to the moment, and blessed with powers of mind, with a spirit of conciliation, with a love of justice, with an admiration for truth—that combination of mercy, of charity, and of the truest philanthropy which a statesman can show, namely, an earnest love and desire to promote the prosperity, to secure the happiness and to consolidate those true principles which give security to a State and happiness to a people. Let us hope that the happiness and prosperity of the United States may continue unimpaired, and that the friend ly feeling, the cordiality that has ever existed between the States of America and this country may be preserved unin terruptedly, to improve our commerce, lo strengthen our lriendships, to bless us with peace and prosperity, and shed the lustre of hope throughout the civilised world.” It is quite refreshing, in the midst of the daily aspersions of the character of President Johnson, and impeachments of his integrity by radical partizans at home, ta read this proper estimate of his ability, honesty and worth by a distinguished Englishman, speaking on an occasion of so much interest and importance. If anything could put to shame the revilers of our Chief Magistrate, such tributes ought to do it. But that is not to be expected. They have certain ends to ac complish by detraction, and will not cease theif infamous work. The remarks of the Lord Mayor will, however, be received by great masses of the American people as expressive of the conclusions of an enlightened judgment, unbiassed by par tiality or prejudice.—Nashville Union. failed to bow bis lofty spirit—insults, chains and dungeons can never wholly destroy that superiority, eloquence and genius with which God has endowed him. do day, emaciated by long months of confinement in & dreary fortress, guarded by bayonets and surrounded by I ankee spies and in formers, we recognise the same calm, stately superior being who figured so grandly in the recent terrible drama of American History—who crushed the Northern Senators hy a humiliating 'consciousness of their own inferiority, 'when he made his high-toned adieu to the Senate. NO EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY—A TRIAL BY HIS OWN COUNTRYMEN. For Jeffersn Davis we ask no Executive 'clemecev, for lie has committed no trea son. For him we implore no pardon, tor lie is r.o traitor ; all we ask, all we desire. *is that he shall receive a fair trial, and Lis guilt or innocence be decided by a .jury of his own countrymen. But this, ■of all things, bis enemies are deteuniued he shall not have; for they knew iu this >cvent he would come forth with no stain •upon his character—no taanish upon his honor. Like the dove sent out o'er the olden sea : By the croak of the frog in the willowy pond, By the turtle’s moan in the copse beyond, By the quick'ning pulse and the thrilling vein, That May has laughed into light again. But not thesunshine, thebreeze, the showers, The tender green and embryo flowers, The voices of birds* or the quickened sense, Appeal with stich startling eloquence To the heart that yearns for the summer’s reign, Weary and earth sick with winter’s chain, As thatsonnd which seems through space to sing The first low thunder of wakened spring. Oh ! marvel not that the men of old Deemed it deep music by God controlled. And by the powers that within them strove, Called it the wrath of the mystic Jove. For we are stirred with an awe profound, By that mysterious and sullen sound, Nor give we faith to the bird and the bloom 'Til? we hear that fiat of winter’s doom. So in the spring of life’s career, We stand and gaze at the opening year, We bask in sunshine—we drink the breeze— But no source cf feeling is stired by these. Xot ’till the voice of the stormy soul Dwells with the sound of the thunder’s roll, Not ’till the floodgates cf sotro’v break In passionate tears—does the soul awake. [Louisville Journal.

There was no man in the whole country, North or South, certainly no officer of the old army, who was more beloved and respected than Albert Sidney Johnston, and though flowers are almost daily strewn upon his grave, it has as yet no suitable monument.” Hon. C. C. Clay at Home. The telegraph had announced to us more than a week ago that our distin guished fellow-citizen and former Repre sentative had been released from the casemates of Fortress Monroe, where he had endured a self-assumed imprisonment for eleven months, not in company (for they were not allowed the privilege of speaking to each other.) but in a neigh boring cell to that of bis illustrious friend and co-associate and fellow sufferer, the noble Davis. Mr. Clay reached home on Sunday morning about three o clock, and as soon as it became known a large num ber of friends hastened to greet him at the residence of his venerable father, and on yesterday the parlors of the mausion were thronged with gentlemen from the city and country, who came to greet their respected fellow-citizen and welcome him home again. He met his visitors with that hearty cordiality which evidenced how rejoiced he was to see old faces again after so long and so eventful a separation. We hardly expected to see him looking so well as he does. The trouble, harrass- ment and deprivations of prison life have, however, left visible marks upon his frame, and his bead is sprinkled with premature gray. His conversation par took largely of recitals of his prison ex periences, but it was free from any bitter ness of censure or acrimony of feeling. Indeed, lie seemed disposed to speak more of the acts of kindness shown him than to recall the petty, mean indignities that lie was sometimes treated with by some who could not appreciate the coar- tesv due to a gentleman in misfortune so far*superior to them in all the elements of true manhood. Mr. Clay did not go to Washington, as was so positively af firmed by the Northern press, but pro ceeded immediately to Petersburg, A a., from which place he came directly home. Mrs. Clay is with her husband, and is an equal sharer in the esteem and admiration that is so justly due her, not on!} - for her unrivalled virtues a«d graces, but for that exalted womanly devotion which in the true heart is only the more developed and fixed when the trials of adversity encom pass us about. We wish them a long and joyous life after the discordant scenes through which they have passed.—Hunts ville Independent, lsf inst. Many of the Mexicans favor both ar mies, the Imperial and the Republican.

To Preserve Strawberries "With out Sugar.—Put the fruit in the pre serving kettle, and, if very dry, add a little water to prevent burning. Boil about three minutes, or just long enough to be sure the whole mass is thoroughly heated—not cooked. Dip into cans, fill ing them completely; seal quickly, and set in cool place. (Glass jars containing fruit should be kept in a dark place cover ed with dark colored paper.) Open, and add sugar several hours before using. our chances would have been very slim indeed.
