publishes in the Mercury some facts and incl
dents connected with JEFF Davis, from which
we extract :
By the way. If Jefferson Davis should lead
the Secession army in person, it is to be hop
ed thnt his memory (or courage) won't fail
him. as it did at the battle of Buena Vista,
when he omitted to give the third and essen

vivors Of that regiment krUH that nothing
saved them from humiliation but th:ir long
practiced, deadly craftsmanship with rifles.
Perhaps it was well for Jefferson Davis
that Zachary Taylor was his fatherir-law,
though unwlIingly so. 4 steiner and more
Brutus-like commander might have ordered
court martial on the spot, that would have
condemned him to have been shot fer coward
ice or moral incompetency.
In my opinion Jefferson Davis should have
been court.martiaIed for his disgraccfui mis-
conduct in that battle as so N as it was dtc-
ded. Perhaps he would have b2cn, but for his
peculiar relations to Zachary Taylor whose
daughter he had married hy stealth, in oppo-
sition to the expressed wishes and positive
commands Of lIrr fntilcr. General then Col
oneD Taylor said to his daughter: If you
marry Lieutenant Davis will never see you
face again, dead or alive" The Infatuated
girl, nevertheless, clopcd with Davis, who had
taken advantage Of the patronage of his com
manding officer, and violated the laws Of hos
pitality by secretly gaining the affections Of
his daughter. In snch adherence did Zachary
Taylor hold Davis, that he kept his word with
firmness that may be deemed pitiless cruelty
When, in the course Of time, his disobedient
daughter lay on her death bed, she sent him a
penitent message, entreating him to visit hel
that she might die in peace with her father,

reply of the inexorabe old man was 81

and never will" And so the unfortunate
lady died. unblest and unforgiven by HIM
| When Davis came under the imHl;'diste com
mand of his fathcr'in-law iu the Mexican War
General Taylor refused to recognize him il
any way, except officially, as in giving orders
and other matters of purely military form
and duty.
There was a two-fold obstacle to Taylor
performance Of his duty IN the Buena Vist'
matter. Davis was his son-in-law, q. d was a
the same time known to be the object Of hi
hatred and adherence. He could not wei
have escaped suspicion of bad motives or per
sonal feeling, in either view.

which seems to speak by the card, if true,
will settle the hitherto doubtful question

previous to his entering upon the duties OF
the Presidency, that be bad been reliably in

the officers of the army and navy had been

rupture between the two sections Of the Union,
they tcould go tcith the North or the South;
and thai nearly e0ery Southern man ansl0ered

this conspiracy had assumed its present deter
inmate SHAPE i've years ago, and only waited
for opportunity, but that Mr.. Buchanan was

time when he took some Of the leaders into
this Cabinet, and when he was passively aid

their plans to cripple the Federal Govern

Zho rugitlvos at FORTRESS Monroe.


The Fortres Monroe correspondent of the
New York Tribune, under date Of May 2sth,
writes:
1t is now certain that the escape of slaves,
and their claim to the prntecticn Of the Fort
ress, is going 10 be one of tie most marked
features OF the war. There must be now not
less than 100 within the walls, who have come
in within the last three days the most of them
within the past "a hour7, and the number iS
hourly increasing. When yners present them
selves and claim the return of their slaves.
Gen. Butler gives them a sort Of receipt, which
places the negroes to "a certain extent on tho
list of articles contraband Of war. In no in
stance do they get the negroes back. Not that
there is the slightest disposition to encourage
the escape of slaves, or to illegally detain them
when demanded. If the claimants are out OF
the Union, as they declare they are, they are
not entitled Is the benefit of the operation
of the United States laws. Gen. Butler requires
claimants, TO subscribe an oath Of allegiance
to the United States as a part OF the prooess
OF procuring the return Of their slaves, which
clsges the door before it is opeaod.
Il is the perfect sublimity of impudence for
men who are in arms against the government
and laws Of the Union to claim the benefit OF
those laws; and yet we sec the exhibiticn Of It

ance, it will 70; be many days before the NUM-

Killing Corn.

r. G. Randall's article on the Culture of
. Corn, in the Rural Register, from which wa
have made several extracts, closes with the FOL.
lowing PARAGRAPH
One day while hoeing in our garden coraf
field of quarter of an acre, we sat down g
half hour, and studied diligently the cbarne-
ter Of the rootlsts everywhere about US radia-
ting from the corn stalks, from one to ihrs0
inches above the surface Of the ground. Il %.
CARED to us that nature designed them for
something else than mere ornaments; and thna
II the requisite material for their full develop-
ment were supplied, they might become roots,
and add something to the vigor of a fair teat,
we set to work with our hoes, and to each al.
ternate bill we drew up the earth, covering the
shoots to an average depth of three inches
After an interval OF two weeks, we fonnd, up
on examination, that we had set Of vigorous
top roots, giving extra support to the stalk,
and imparting an extraordinary degree Of vig-
or TO its growth. Nearly every stalk thus
chilled up" afforded an extra ear, grew one
fifth taller than those not hilled, and the grain
ripened several days earlier. Hence we have
ever since argued that It Is good economyt 10
"hill up" corn; but we would remind the far.
mer that it is a dangerous practice to run q
plow or cultivator so near the stalks az to die
turb the regular roots A very simple una
efficient cross bar cultivator can be arranged,
SO that, with light dip on either side, the two
outer shares will throw sufficient earth to the
talks, without disturbing the roots.

We copy the following from the Washing

"We hear among the effects Of the Alexan-
dria Sentinel office, now in the cusdody (bnt
wholly uninjured) of the troops Of the United
States, are certain letters of great Importance,
as showing the means by which the Revolution
of Virginia was accomplished; duplicating
the writer's and others in treason and conspi-
racy against the United States, TO such an ex-
tent as that if they fall into the hands Of the
Government, the law to its extreme exten.
can hardly fail to be brought TO bear upon
their cases. The letters are believed to prove
beyond possibility of denial, that the adoption
of the ordinance of secession by the Virginia
Convention was the result Of fraud, usurpa-
tion, and terrorism unsurpassed in the history
of civilized goTernment-of naked and palpa-
BILE Revolution, to the end Of entirely sweep

Tie Washington Republican says, on old
and intelligent resident of Fairfax county.
living some ten miles from this city, informs
as that the occupation Of Virginia By United
States troops was wholly unexpected by the
seeessionsts. The more ignorant and numer~
GUS portion Of them religiously believed that
one Virgiuian was a match for twenty Yam
KEGS, and that wholesome dread Of annihila-
tion would keep the United States troops on
this side Of the Potomac. Their better in
formed men, while not entertaining such ex-
travagant notions rs these, still bad a vague
confidence in the sapctity of Virginia soil, aud
expected to the last that the pending difficult
tics would be settled by a compromise aud
peaceful separation.
The actual march Of the National regi-
ments into Virgiuiu came upon this secession
population like a clap of thunder Many are
flying, of whom large portion are probably
conscious of having committed outrages uP.
on Union neighhors, likely to be remembered
and punished Those who do not fly are
thoroughly cowed. and the common remark
among them is that it is useless TO contend
with the United States.
