Richmond, Dec. 7.—Gov Lee today sent a letter to the Counsel of Cluve- rius, who is now under the sentence of death for the murder of Fannie Lillian Madison, in which he says that he has given to their statements, and to all the papers and petitions pre sented for executive clemency in be half of the prisoner, the careful con sideration which their importance de manded. The Governor then adds: “The prisoner came from the Judicial to the Executive Department of the government marked ‘guilty’ by the Judges and jury/ Starting at that point therefore, I have been diligent ly studying the record while industri ously seeking information and evi dence from all other sources which might conclusively prove to my mind that the verdict of the court was an error, • and that, therefore, the sen tence pronounced by the Court of Hustings and affirmed by Virginia’s highest court must be set aside or commuted. With an earnest desire to faithfully execute, without fear or favor, the laws of the State impartial ly to all; with most profound sympa thy to those upon whose hearts this blow must fall; with a clear conscience that I am discharging my duty to the people of my State, as God has given me strength to see it, I write you to inform you that I have not been able to reach different a conclusion from that held bvthe courts, and, therefore, the case ;o*f'Thomas J. Cluverius is ndt one, in my opinion to call for execu tive interference, either by the exer cise of the pardoning power or by commutation of sentence.” CLUVERIOUS INFORMED. The Governor’s decision was con veyed to the jail by Judge W. W. Crump, the Senior counsel, and his son, Beverly T. Crump, who acquaint ed the prisoner with it. Cluverius stood the ordeal with the same forti tude which has generally character ized his conduct s nee his arrest and during his trial. After the counsel left him, however, it was plainly ap parent that the awful news he had heard had a marked effect, and that it w as as much as he could do to main tain his wonted composure. Shortly after the counsel left the cell several reporters visited the jail and made an effort to see the prisoner, but when informed of their object by the “death watch” Cluverius said: “Ido not want to see anybody.” He was seated in an armchair with his elbows on his knees and his chin buried in his hands. Seeing the reporters at the door of his cell he changed his posi tion and endeavored to appear calm and collected, but it was evident that the blow had struck home. The counsel presented a petition for res pite to the Governor this evening. No time was named, as that is left to the Governor’s discretion. It is the general impression that a respite of thirty days will be granted. CLUV»RIUS RESPITED. Richmond, Va., Dec. 8.—Governor Lee this evening respited Cluverius until the 14th of January next. But for this respite he would have been hanged day after tomorrow, the 10th iust. FREE TRADE. THE LONG LOST LETTER. JEFFERSON DAVIS’ LETTER TO SEN ATOR VANCE IN ’63. Baltimore, Nov. 19.—The Sun will publish tomorrow a letter written by Jefferson Davis, President of the Con federacy, to Governor Vance, of North Carolina, in January 1863, which is believed to be the letter referred to by General Sherman in the recent con troversy, and upon which Sherman based his charge that Davis threaten ed to use Lee’s army to coerce the Southern States. The letter was pub lished in the Raleigh, N. C., Stan dard, in January 1863, but has been eut from files of that paper, and was given to the Sun by an ex-Confeder- ate officer, who found it among the effects of a gentleman recently, deceas ed, who was preparing the history of North Carolina. The document, which is quite lengthy, rehearses the futile efforts made by Davis y to ob tain a conference with the Northern leaders looking to a peaceful settle ment of the differences, and con cludes as follows: “I fear ranch from the tenor of the news I received from North Carolina that an attempt will be made by some bad men to inaugurate movements, which must be consider ed as equivalent to aid and comfort to the enemy, and which all patriots should combine to put down at any cost. You 'may count on my aid in every effort to spare your State froip the scourge of civil warfare, which will devastate her homes if the de signs of these traitors be suffered to make a head. I know you will place yourself in your legitimate position in the lead of those who will not suf fer the name of the old State to be blackened by such a stain. Will you pardon me for suggesting that the only source of my disquie tude on the subject has arisen from the fear that you will delay too long the action which now appears inevi table, and that by your ever earnest desire to reclaim by conciliation the men whom you believe to be sound at heart, but whose loyalty is more than suspected elsewhere, you will permit them to gather such strength as to require more violent measures than are now needed. With your influence and position, the promoters of unfounded discords now prevalent in your State would be put down without the use of physical force, if you would abandon the poli cy of conciliation and set them at de fiance. In this course frankly.and firmly pursued, you would rally around you all that is best and noblest in your State, and your triumph would be bloodless. If a contrary policy be adopted I much fear you will be driv en to the use of force to suppress treason. In either event, however, be assured that you will have my cordial concurrence- and assistance in maintaining with yon, the honor and dignity and fair name of yonr State, and your efforts to crush trea son, whether incipient, as I believG it now is or more matured, as I believe, if not firmly met, it will in the near future inevitably become. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, [Signed] Jefferson Davis. Don't Experiment. You cannot afford to «;i3te time in ex- perimentimr when your Iti.igs are in dan ger. Consumption always seems, at first, only a cold. Do not permit any dealer to impose upon you with some cheap imita tion of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con- sumption.Coughs and Colds, but be sure you get the genuine. Because he can make more profit he may tell you he has something just as good, or just the same. Don’t be deceived, but insist upon getting Dr. King’s New Discovery, which is guar anteed to give relief in all Throat, Lung and Chest affections. Triai bott Us free at John M. Clark’s Drug Store.

C., from one of the Michigan lumber districts, has had some rare experiences among his muscular constituents. At one time, when he was -’Squire Tarsney, he made an enemy, and the fellow made dire threats against his person al safety. “I’ll show him,” he said, shaking his list and gritting his his teeth dan gerously. “Do it,” urged his partner, “he aint nothin’ but a splinter, nohow.” “You bet I will,” said the fellow, and he went off after Tim. In about an hour he returned, look ing like he had been caught in a threshing machine. “Hello, Bill,” said his friend, “what the devil’s the matter?” “Durn your fool soul,” he replied, “didn’t you tell me Tim Tarsney wan’t no’moren a splinter nohow?’, “Course I did; an’ he ain’t.” “Ain’t he?” said the other man scornfully. “Ain’t he? Well, you tackle him once, an’ you’ll fin’ out ' mighty durn quick that he’s a saw-log with bark on. Go get the doctor.” The shorter the tunnel, the sweeter the kiss, but the older the cold the harder the cure. Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup has broken many stubborn coughs.

Florida is reputed to receive at least $7,000,000 every year from Northern tourists, who stay there an average of only twelve days, and to reap a larger sum still from those who make it a place of residence during the cold weather. An editor in Western Texas writes: “He who steals our purse steals trash; but he who has lifted our only pair of scissors is a d—m thief out of whom we intend to kick the stuffing when caught. We are now c.imping on his trail and it is fresh.” A majority of the members of the Georgia House of Representatives are farmers, yet we fail to note that more attention than usual is devoted to legislation concerning the agricultu ral interests of the State.—Perry Horn* Journal.
