JOHN SCOTT.
l.. TEMPLEToN, Acting Adj't.
The Treason OF Ex-senator Jones Of

The arrest of O. w. Jones, Ex-Sena-
tor, Minister, &c. was based upon the
positive information that he is not only u
traitor at heart, but his own written re-
cord turned up against him the day before
he had his long interview with Secretary
Seward. Some of his official papers con-
tanning his accounts were opened in the
State Department, when sealed letter
fell out, 1t was addressed to Jefferson
Davis, and he makes an earnest appeal to
him, rs his old and valued friend and as
President of the Southern Confederacy,
in behalf Of his brother, Gen Augustus
Jones, who resides ut Columbus, Colora-
do county, Texas. He urges President
Davis, whom he calls his dear friend to
provide some Office for Augustus, either
in Texas, at the Seat Of government, or
somewhere else and In another letter he
says ~ have two sons now in the
Southern army the only place where a
patriot should be found fighting against a
tyrannical and despotic government. As
soon as settle my accounts with the Fed
eral Government, 1 shnH also join tie
Confederate army myself" Mr. Seward
immediately upon making the discovery
notified the Treasury Department not to
pay Mr.. Jones the balance appearing to
be due him By the government BY some
mistake, however, the amount was paid.
Mr.. Seward afterward received Jones.
and conversed with him, but did not al
lude to his treason, not wishing to alarm
lin, but learning that Jones was going to
New York, put detective on his trail and
caused his arrest as already stated

MASON AND SLIDELL.
w orld's Dispatch

Washington, Dec. 20.
The manner in which Mason and Sill
dell are to be delivered up, has been left
to Lord LYONS, who will doubtless have it
done in the manner least offensive to the
Government. They will probably be put
on board the steamer America, which
sails from New York next Wednesday,
and which will, it is understood, be re-
quired to stop at Boston to take the rebel
commissioners on board

A Revolutionary Precedent.

A committee of the Massachusetts, His
torical Society, recently appointed for the
purpose, reported that during the Ameri-
can Revolution, from the battle of Lexinc
ton to the end of the war, exchanges of
prisoners with Great Britain were con-
stantiy made. The British Government,
OF course, cautiously avoided recognizing
our Independence, or making any polite
al admissions whatever. Yet they per-
mltted exchanges, under rules of war, for
purposes of military con venierce, and in
relief OF the sufferngs Of their own Of
hcers and privates in capacity.

New York, Dec. 80.

New York, Dec. 80.
At a conference of our City Banks, on
Saturday evening, by unanimous vote
they resolved upon an immediate suspen-
sion of specie payment. The heavy drafts
on their coin, caused by their large ad-
vance to the Government, renders this
step in their Judgment necessary We
presume it will be quite generally follow
ed in the large cities, though the drain
upon our city banks results from causes
which tend rather to strengthen than
weaken the banks OF the interior.

Atornsy-GeneraiB Bates ON the war.

in.the United States Supreme Court on
tuesday, Attorney-Genera Bates pre-
faced tribute to the memory of Judge
Mclean with the following remarks ON
the war:
: look abroad over tho country. and
behold CHASTITY spectacle-a great ma.
ton, lately united. prosperous and happy.
and baoyant with hopes of future glory.
torn into fragments and land once beau
tiiul and rich In the flowers aud fruits of
peaceful culture, stained with blood and
blackened with fire. In all that wide space
from the Potomac 10 the Rio Grande. and
from the Atiantfe to the Missouri, tho
still small voice of legal justice is drown.
ed by the incessant roll Of the drum and
the deafering thunder of artillery. To
that extent your Just and lawful f 1 power is
practically annulled, for the laws are silent
amidst arms. Blu, let us rejoice in the
hope that these calamities are only for n
season that the same Almighty hand
which sustained our fathers in their ,rdu-
Gus struggle to establish the glorious
constitution which this court has SO lonp
and SO wisely administered, will not be
Withdrawn from their children in a struo-
gle, no less arduous, to maintain it. Now.
indeed We are oyershadowed with dark
cloud, broad and gloomy as nation 5 pal
but, thanks be 10 God, the eve of faith
and patriotism can discern the bow of
promise set IN that cloud. spanning the
gloom with lis brlgh. arch, 10 foreshow
the coming Ola day 81 sunshine and calm,
and to justify our hope of speedy re-
storat'on OF peace and order and law"

Another Irish OpiniOu.

The Dublin Nation, in au article upon the
vropriety Of a war between England and
America, and of the conduct of Capt. Wilkes
says:
The seizure was an eact worthy the spirit
daring, amd dash of the Americans; it was
one to make Irish hearts jump with joy. If
-Ehe English Government resents this insult,
there will come great time for Ireland.
Then the men who are gone with vengeance,
will prove vsDgeful men indeed Then will
the Irish "a . in America rush to arms, and
bound into the battle.
Yes, tLst viii the force Of England find in
their front such desperate men as crushed
their ranks at Foutenoy, to the cry of Re
member Limerick Yes, the men crow-bar-
red out of their homes in Ireland the men
oppressed, insulted, scofed, and, wherever
they went, pursued by English slander, scorn,
and haie-those men will be in the van OF
the fight, and then will woe come to England!
And what of Ireland in this gEsst time
What will Iishman do when comes this su-
preme opportunity, the like of which can on
II come in many ages? We can tell what
they may Do, What they will be able to do,
if they set vel their part as brave men-
.-ns1ey csR, most certainly, establish the inde-
DendeRee OF ireland.
