On his arrival, he will be confined at \he arsenal, where there are abundant opportunities for his safe keep ing, Nothing however, has transpired in regard to any special preparations, and we can only judge of them the arrangements which were made at For- j tress Monroe. At the fort, an etftire j casemate, comprising two rooms, was set. ; apart for his use.

Between them sits an officer, who *s also not allowed to speak, and who holds the key of the second or interior lock of the door which cann t he opened except by the concurrence of the two officers named. At the door between the. rooms is. another sentinel, and in the inner room -are tWQ others who are all en joined to the same strict silence. .

His solemnity of manner, his simplicity of style, his rxi tremo views-on the subject- of state rights, all proved the sincerity of the speaker, and recalled to memory the figure, voice, and sentiments of the dead Calhoun. The voice seemed more like the emanation of a spirit than the utter ed convictions of the man who was dcs 4 * tined to be the lender of the great lebel* lion. As it of awe spread over the Senate chamber, and even Wade, and Sumner, and Chandler listened with an attention akin to respect. Among the. andito-ry there Was one who seemed more than the rest absorbed in the scene before him. • The Senate adjourned -and Stanton hastened from the Senate . chamber to one of the.great hotels oi V. ashington-, and ask-ed to be. shown-to the room of the venerable Medary, of Ohio. -Scarcer y had-lie entered’- when, with a voice, ju 14 of passionate energy, he* exclaimed, .“ Mednrv, I have just heard Davis, and . 1;y alt the gads, he lspthe graptest of all hhe living statesmen:! The. South is right, ami Davis must he. the nominee ot the Charleston Convention ; and to se | cure that end. you must come at once to” | Washington and take charge.of the gov • j ertin oh’t organ.'* _. • . . . . j ■ .'(■h.'ver.rmr.Jde'd-ary suggested that there j -were eerta.n reasons why such an ar i ranyeinent m 1 glit h;t b;• acceptable to .

I will go at once to the White House, and- in two. hours from now I will see you again.” ‘Medary waited, Stanton returned ;*but for reasons unnecessary- here to narrate, the scheme-failed. ’ ‘ r j Ids was the opening scene which pre’ needed the rebellion, and Edwin M. Stanton played the chief role as the ad vocate of Southern rights, and the ‘espe cial friend of Jefferson Davis. • • Governor Medaiy sleeps in an honor ed grave, but there are yet three living witnesse to the truthfulness of this nar**. rative. One is a Slate prisoner who lies in chains at Fortress Monroe; another is his j ilor, who declared the prisoner’s views to be just, and who sought to place the man he now holds in irons, in the Prcsidetial chair; the third rnd last is the venerated James Buchanan. This is but a stray scrap of history, but it i.s not unworthy oi being preserved. . Vc ice from the Grave. - Special to the Louisville Journal.
