Washington County, Pa, Items.

Washington County, Pn'' 1LemS'
From the Reporter of yesterday, we take
these items:
WASHINGTON CoLLEGE.-The winter term
of this institution opens under the most
flattering auspices, giving early promise of
q larger attendance than ut any previous
session within late years. Some fifty new
students have already arrived, with we'll
founded expectation of n large increase to
that number.
SToCKISGs FOR THE SoLDIERs.-Thc la
dies of East Bethlehem have just sent in II
bundle of excellent socks, (27 pairs,) with
the expectation of following it up by like
bundles in few days. East Bethlehem is
never behind in any good work, and we
hope the neighboring townships will not
forget that our soldiers will need good
warm stockings.
The Reporter feel great pride in the
gallantry displayed by the RinggoId Cav

The real or pretended apprehensions of
the London Times in relation to the militia
ry employment of the French Princes in
this country, are all of them sufficiently
absurd; but the Times idea that their
services may chance to be required in their
PrineeEy capacity is so preposterous that no
one but a mutton-pated tory could have
conceived it. The "THundsrer" must have
got the idea, as Jove made Minerva-out o +
his own head He must be very intense
and extremely stupid worshipper of the
"diyine right of Kings" who has ia led to
observe the thorough contempt which
Americans entertain for any government in
which tho people are not superior to any
hereditary dummy of Prince-iu panta-
looms or petticoHts.

obedience to a special call of the Gov

A session of the Legislature was

JEFF. Davis Message.

The Message of Jefferson Davis to
the treason Congress, now in session
at Montgomery, is peculiar document
as full of falsehoods as the Koran,
and as artful and deceptive as a mirage
in the desert. He cites history to
prove that the United States under the
Articles of Confederation, were simply
a partnership of limited liability, and
that, under the Constitution, the Fed
eral Government is merely an "agent''
of the States with the difference that
the principals may repudiate the acts
of the agent, and refuse to be bound
by them, whenever they choose.
Peace, Mr.. Davis declares, has been
the desire of his heart. 1t was to secure
peace, we suppose, that Major Ander-
son was bombarded, Fort Pickens
invested, the arsenal robbed, the mint
plundered, the revenue cutters seized.
The Message speaks of the forts and
other Federal property in. the seced-
ing States, as belonging to them, and
regards it price of the grossest i'm
pertinence for President Lincoln to
talk of retaking them-as though, in
deed, such An act will be downright
robbery! 1t also sets forth that Pres
ident Lincoln's proclamation, declar.
ing his purpose to hang all pirates found
molesting our commerce on the high
seas, is an incredible violation of the
laws of nations
Through such a tissue of lies is this
message spun out to four columns Of
closely printed matter.-There is mo-
a word not syllable, about the stu
pendous crime of breaking up grea
and free government. Where ever
the matter is touched upon it is view
ed in the light of a virtuous and pat
riotic duty. This was to be expected
of one who regards bombardment ant
pillage as acts conducive to peace ant
the retaking of the bombarded ant
pillaged articles by their lawful own
ers as acts ofpiracy.

Lieut.. Maury,s Detection.

Special Dispatch to the N. Y. Tribune.
1t seems that Lieut.. Maury will not
be allowed to resign, but that his leav-
ing as he did will be considered an
actual desertion of post of duty. On
the day of his desertion he was with
the Secretary of the Navy up to O.
clock in the afternoon, and said moth
ing of his intentions. He went home,
packed up his furniture, and vamosed.
The Observatory is now under the
charge of Lieut.. ellis, an excellent
officer, than whom q more loyal, eff.
cient, and worthy servant of the Gov.
eminent does not exist. The mass Of
unfinished work left by Lieut.. Maury
at the Observatory is enormous, but
under the capable management and
antiring energy of Lieut.. ellis, it is
fast being chased away.
