JEFFERSON DAVIS IN 1853 In the summer
of 1858 Jefferson Davis in speech at Faneuii
Hall, Boston. uite:ed the following language:
=" Among culprils, there is none more cdIoaa
to my mind than public officer who ,akes an
oath to support the Constitute n-the compact
between the States binding each other for the
common defence and general welfare of the
other-yet retains to himself d menta. -sserva-
ton that he will war upon the principles he
has sworn to maintain, and upon the properly
rights, the protection of which are part of the
compact of the Union. Applause It 10 a
crime too low to bs named before this assembly.
1t s one which on man with self resPcc, wound
ever commit. To swear that he will support
the Conslilution--to take an Office which be-
longs in many OF its relations 10 all the States,
and ia use il as means Of injuring portion
ofthe States of which he is thus :he rcpresen-
Ia tive, is treason TO everything honorable in
man. II is the base and cowardly attack of
him who gains the confidence of ano!he., iu
order that he may wound him."

The New York Tribune Of Satsrlay says.
we publish this msrning an interesting letter
from our special correspondent in East Tenn
essee. In this he states, on the best authority,
that in North Carolina the most alarming ap'
prehensions are entertained of an insnrrection
among the slaves. Numerous rumors are afoat
of whole families having been butchered by
tho blacks. and though these reports do not rest
upon q sure foundation, it is beyond o. doubt
that the most excited state of feeling exist
among the negroes. and that the danger Of an
extensive outbreak is imminent Almost with.
out an exception, the white men Of the shreat.
ened region who are capable OF bearing arms
are absent from their homes, serving in the
Rebel army under these circumstances the
Home Guards in Western Carolina have been
called on to aid in sUppressing the anticipated
uprising this they refuse TO do unless they can
take the field under the National dag, as they
are all Union men.

Prince Napoleon and suite, accompanied by
Secretary Seward and by troop Of cavalry,
on Sunday visited the encampments and forth
ficalions on the Potomac side. They also pro.
ceeded to fort Corcorsn, where they met Gen.
Sherman, the commandant Of the troops in that
vicinity. The Prince carefully inspected the
defensive works. and made many and minute
inquiries relative TO our military. which ths
intelligence and experience of Gen. Sherman
enabled hlm TO answer. much to the satisfac-
tion Of the Prince. From Coreoran they visited
Arlington Highis. and called upon Gen. Nc
Dswell, from whom he inquired many details
OF the late movements and the battle Of Bull
Run.

ANOTHER THEORY OF THE PANIc.-In CONVEX
sation the other day with an experienced army
officer, just returned from Patterson's Division.
he gave it as his opinion thaH the panic at
Manassas was purposeIy started by numbeF of
MericGns, who had haen employed by the Cow
eminent as teams.ers, and who, he believes,
were in the employ of the rebels. who had sent
them on TO secure situations for this purpose.
under circumstances where they would not be
suspected until toe late TO remedy the error.
Our informant states that there are about three
hundred Of these Greassrs in the employ Of
the Government in that capacity, largo num-
Der Of them being in Patters5n's Divieion.-
this officer, who is well versed in Mexican
character, says ne could not help looking upon
them with suspicion, as they were Of the class
he considers unlrustwo orthy; and there is some
reason for believing that they first applied to
the rebels for situations as teamsters, who sent
them on with instructions how to act in cer-
tain contingency.
sSIuce the above was written we see that the
same theory is advanced by Washington Cor.
respondent. May there not be something in il !!
Should not our government at least take imme.
date and effective measures to lest the loyalty
and capacity of every teamSteE, as well as TO
see in future that the teamsiers are not allow
ed to place themselves IN position where they
can possibly either get up OF in any wise aid &
stampede.

A little girl two years old, named Buckley,
was lying, unconscious of any danger, upon
the Newton (Mass.) railroad, on Wednesday
week, when the engineer of an approaching
train discovered her. Seeing that the train
could not be stopped, he ran to the forward end
OF the engine. and getting upon the extreme
end of the cow.catcher. was fortunate enough
to snatch the child from the very jaws of a hOr.
rble death. The engiuee's name is Greene
c. Wyman, and was formerly employed on the
Delaware Railroad.

PETERsoN's CoUNrERFEIT DErEcroR, for

usual valuable contents. The fourth page Of

FROM RICHMoND.-A despatch fEom Baiti-
more states that a merchcnt there has received
late letter from his correspondent in Rich
mond, which Significantly lndicates that the
people of that city are heartily aick, not only
OF Secession and its sorrowful fruits, but OF the
war, 1t is also asserted, if President Davis
and his army do not meet with greater success
than they did at Bull Run and Me- asssas, a
counter feeling will manifest itself arlong tie
people, by no meaus encouraging to the Rebel
President and the cause he has espoused. The
slaughter of the Confederated is represented as
terribIe-much creator than intimated by &C.
counts in the newspapers. The truth regarding
the killed and wounded is suppressed, as far as
there is any possibility Of doing go. When the
whole story Of Manassas is told. if ever, it will
prove astounding. Great distress prevails
among the Southern troops.
aThey are not only destiiu? ofcc!nforts, but tho
absolute necessities OF substance. Clothes,
shoes, food, war munitions, and all are lament
ably scarce, as is money also.
There is no doubt much truth III this, and
as the rebel leaders know that they are strong
er now than they can ever be hereafter, they
have every inducemeRt TO strike a vigorous
aggressive blow at once, so as 10 maintain their
footing at home. If they fail now, they lose
their only chance.

CoEFJscATIoS.-The con6scstion bill passed

the property of convicted traitors. II only pro-
vides for the conhscation of such property as,
may have been specially devoted 10 The uses OF

Where such property consists of slaves, the
confscation is made effective in the only way
which is morally possible, that is TO say, BY
