Col. EllsWOrlA's PrcseMliment of
Early Death.

1t seems that COL Ellsworth was not with
out presentiment that his end was near
Just previous to his departure for Alexandria,
he wrote the following letter to his parents:
HEADQUARTERS 1sr ZoUAvEs, CAMP L1NcoLN,)
WASHINGTON, ID. c., May %, 1861
Ny Dear Father and Mother-The regi-
ment is ordered to move across the river to-
night. We have no means of knowing what
reception we are to meet with am inclined
to the opinion that our entrance to the city of
Alexandria will be hotly contested, as | am
just in ,rmed a large force have arrived there
to-day. Should this happen, my dear parents,
it may be my lot to he injured in some man
ner. Whatever may happen, cherish the con-
ISOLATION that Twas engaged in the performance
of sacred duty and tonight thinking over
the probabilities of tomorrow, and the occur
rences of the past, | am perfectly content to
accept whatever my fortune may be- confident
that He who noteth even the fall of a sparrow,
will have some purpose even in the fate of one
like me.
My darling and ever loved parents, good
bye. God bless, protect and care foryou.
ELMER.
In conversation with his comrades on the
same day, he also expressed a foreboding that
he should be killed the next day, and in an
ticipation of the event donned the handsome
uniform of his company.

A Remarkable Statement.

We find this remarkable paragraph inthe
editorial columns of the Rochester Union, a
Democratic paper:
This great and long standing conspiracy
was well known in its outlines to Mr.. Buchan-
an himself. We heard from his own lips,
previous to his entering upon the duties of
the Presidency that he had been reliably in
formed 1--WE think he said by Gov. Wise,) that
the officers of the army and navy had been
polled on the question whether, in case of a
rupture between the two sections of the
Union, they would respectively 60 with the
North or the South: and that nearly every
Southern man answered he would adhere to
the section which gave him birth. Here we
have proof not only that this conspiracy had
assumed its present determinate shape five
years ago, and only waited for opportunity !;
but that Mr.. Buchanan was perfectly well
aware of the fact at the very time when he
took some of the leaders into his Cabinet
and when he was passively aiding Cobb Floyd,
Thompson and Toucey, in their plans to Grip
pie the Federal Government, and assure the
success of the rebellion.

rW@ One of the coolest propositions made
to the late special session of the Legislature
was to construct telegraph lines from Daven-
port and Keokuk to Desmoines at the expense
of the State! We are assured by paper ev-
identity in favor of the measure that ''it was
only lost by the indifference of its friends"
We imagine that a tax would set with pecu-
liar grace on those communities in the State
who have paid for their telegraph facilities out
of their own pockets. 1t would be a superb
idea, indeed, to furnish the favored inhabit-
ants of the Capital City with telegraphs, rail
roads and all the modern improvements of the
day, at the expense of the State. The genius
who originated the idea deserves brass
medal

THE SOUTHERN PosT OFFIcE.-By the proc
lamation of the Southern Confederacy, propos-
ing to accept and run the machinery Of the
Post Office for those States, on and after June
l, postmasters are directed to close their ac
counts with the department at Washington,
then to return all stamps and envelopes be-
longing to the United States, and to hold all
money then collected to meet the orders from
Washington for payment of mail service in
the Confederate States Letter postage in the
seeded States is to be five cents for distances
less than five hundred miles, and for greater
distances ten cents, to be prepaid in money
until stamps are furnished. The peculiar point
about the proclamation is that postmasters are
forbidden to collect postage on matter sent to
or received from the United States until
postal treaty shall have been concluded, while
he sending or receiving such mail matter is
not forbidden

notified the Secretary of War that they are

which they beg the acceptance of government.
This princely gift could not have cost the do
nors less than 100000. A commercial house
