A triAng little rebel paper in Kentucky pro-
fesses to doubt the truth of our statement re-
spectng the origin of JEFF. Davis. What we
stated is we'll known 10 hundreds of the best
citizens of Christian and Todd counties, Ken
lucky. JEFF. Davis's father lived for number
of years in log cabin, situated in what is now the
town of Fairview, twelve miles from Hopkins
vile Ky. The house is now weatherboarded and
used as a tavern. Old Davis was a man of bad
character, horse trader and swindler, and of
very low habits fine horse was missing on
one occasion in the .neighborhood, under such
suspicious circumstances that he thought il safest
to leave the county and fy to Mississippi. JEFF.
Davis is his illegilmate son, born some miles dis
tant from his fathers house. and taken home by
him when several years of age. These are noto-
rious facts. Some of Dayis's relatives still live
in that part of Kentucky. We would never have
alluded to this sinister Dor JEFF. 5 escutcheon,
were not his friends continually prating about
Southern gentility and the low breeding of
Union people. Our own opinion is that JEFF s
bsh does him more credit than any portion Of
his subsequent life.-NashUiiie Courier.

ConfIscatiOn of Property and Eman-
cipatiOn OF slaves.

We make the following extracts from the
speech of Hon. JOIN S. PHELPS, of Missouri, in
the House of Representatives. May p. upon the
foregoing topics. to which we direct the attention
of all thoughtful men. Mr.. PHELPS is Union
man and he has given evidence OF his devotion to
the Government by fighting in its behalf Mr.
PHELPS forcbly remarks:
One Of the bills under consideration proposes
to confscate all the estates of certain classes of
persons who may be guilty of treason The sec
ond proposes the emancipation of their slaves
Both these bills are predicated upon the supposi-
ton that they are sanctioned by the Constitution,
and are necessary for the suppression of the re-
belion.
tell you, Representatives. that if you enact
these laws, instead of putting end to this re-
belion you but add fuel % the flames that are
now iercely raging in the Southern portion Of this
Union. | assert these bills contain principles not
sanctioned by the Constitution. Treatment Of
beligerents is proposed, not sanctioned by the
laws OF nations. Nor can these principles be sus-
tanned by the best authorities on international
law. This Government never asserted such mon
strous doctrines, either in the revolutionary war
or in the war Of 1912 with Great Britain. Nor
did we assert such was our right in the prosecu
tion ofthe war with Mexico. Three different wars
with foreign nations, and the statesmen of those
DAYS did not contend for such measures as the au-
thors of these bills expect us to adopt. And will

the shortest space Of time, and finding the rebels
not disposed to venture any nearer, flag officer
Davis signalled the fee. to turn bows on and en-
gage the enemy at short range. At the same

Beauregard, and would undoubtedly have sent
that craft to the bottom with single blow, but
the Beauregard "sheared off, in time to avoid il.
The Queen kept straight on, passing the Beaure-
gard and aiming for the General Price, which
was trying to get hes bow in position to strike
the Queen. This the Queen did not let her do;
she struck the Price with all her force in diago-
nal direction. taking the rebels wheel house
completely off, wheel and ALL and leaving her in
a sinking condition. The Price fell back, raised
flag of truce. and with its remaining wheel
made its way with all possible diligence to the
Arkansas Shore where it went down.
In passing the Beauregard. the Queen receiv-
ed broadside from the latter two OF the shots

of Niagara bridge repute, under whose superin-
tendence the Federal rams were built, was on
board the Queen, and received sli sht wound
from splinters. In the collision with the Price,
the Queen received some damage TO her machine

prevented her from taking any further part in the
engagement. She foated down with the cur
rent, passing beyond the rebel boats, which were
now too busily engaged in taking care Of them
selves to pay any particular attention to the disa-
bled Federal ram. They had already commenced
TO fall back, the lines of battle occupied at the
opening of the engagement were broken up,
and every rebel gunboat was fighting on its
own hook, and looking out especially for number
one.
The Monarch. in going into the engagement,
made the rebel gunboat Gen. Lowell the object of
her special regards. The rebel, although making
the effort, did not succeed 80 well as the Beaure
