We have no confidence In the truth of the
principal point in this news. Mr.. Ellis il
really an invalid, aud too great sufferer to
permit him to discharge the arduous duties Of
the editor of daily paper in these days. 1t
is we'll known that he asked for the leave Of
absence accorded to him to recruit his health,
and that his return to the post is expected on
bis recovery. There ia not man among the
shareholders Of the speculation who is more
southernish on the slavery question than Mr.
E., while m ORE or less of them sympathiss,
rather, in the views Of Wilson, Colby, Halo.
