JEFF. DAVIS MEssAGE.-This great literary

Record" aud will be forever held up as the
most brilliant specimen of political mendacity
ever published among an enlightened people
He saws, " the nature of the hostities which
they 10. S have waged against US must be
characterized as barbarous," and that the
troops " must expect to be dealt with as offend
ers against all law, human and divine" In
other words we understand him to say that he
is right and every body else is wrong and that
the doctrine taught by the black flag unfurled
in South Carolina, is to be the doom of every
United States soldier falling into the rebels
power-death without The benefit of clergy or
burial TIE natural law of retaliation which
his doctrine invokes, will bring about what
they have predicted, but as yet never expert
enced war of determination and subjugatiou.
May Heaven avert it, bnt if it does come, the
curse OF it must rest upon the traitors head.

head of the Rebellion to keep alive the rebel

The Board of Supervisors.

1t has been our practice, heretofore, to pub
lish synopsis of the proceedings of the Board
at their regular meetings, for the information
of the people of the county. But such suns
mary is not sufficient to give an insight into
many important and lengthy orders made by
the Board, that directly affect large portion
of our people.
Orders have been made, changing the town
ships of the county, in which whole townships
have been annihilated and merged into others.
Still. the people have had no notice of the
changes. Litigants complain that no notice OF
such changes has been made and they put to
costs to learn what everybody ought to be no.
tilted about, through the papers. We hear
many complaints of the Board not publishing
more than they do.
The law requires of the Supervisors to pub
lish the quarterly report of the County Treasu-
rer, by the way, as very important matter to
the people Of our county. But no such order
has ever been made by them. By referring to
page 7l5 Of Woods Digest, article 3444, it
will be seen that the law is imperative on this
subject and other items might be enumerated
in which the Board would enlighten our peo-
pie by sending orders TO papers of the county
and, by the way, the Board cannot complain
that all the papers in the county are Union in
their sentiments and PRINCIPLES, or that they
renilire or demand heavy and uDiust charues
for doing their work. One, at least, asks but
what is fair and just, without rafting"
We would say to the Board, that the people
have greater cause TO grumble from your not
publishing your dongs, than they would to the
small cost of doing it. Then, gentlemen, ad-
vertise-even if you are compelled TO do so in a
Secession paper-and thus fulfill the require
ments of the law and its spirit and intention.

parties litigant.
ResolUsd That when any application is
made to the Clerk Of the Court Of Common
Pleas, for g writ or process by which a civil

or bond, with sufficient surety or sureties,
for the payment of all costs that ray accrue
in said suit.
3. ResOlUed, That the right of trial before
Justice of the Peace, either a Jury of six
or twelve men, as the parties may agree,
should be inviolate, and when said jury
have returned a verdict of 500 or less, no
appeal shall be allowed therefrom.

Correspondence Of the New York Tribune.)
WAsH1EeTcE, Jan. ls.
At the leaye-taking of Gen. James q.
Lane at the White House, on F-idsy after
noon, a conversation occurred SO remarkable
and important in its scope, and so evidently
designed for the public eye, that feel at lib
" to record it for the readers of the Tribune.
There were present at the time President
Lincoln, Gen. Lane, Senator Pcmeroy, Com
missioner Dole, few members Of the House
and group of officers and clerks from the
different Departments ef Government.
On turning to leave, Gen. Lane ssid -
'Wsli, hr. Lincoln, you know my way;
shall pursue the policy with which began,
and somebody will get hurt"
To which the President replied:
HKes, General, understand You, And
the only difference between you and me ia,
that you are willing to surrender iugiti7es to
loyal owners in case they are willing to re-
turn; while I do not belieUe the United States
6OUsrHment has any right to gips thin gp IN
any case. And if it had the People would
not permit US to exercise it
Gen. Lane replied:
'Thst remark, Mr.. President makes me
happier than anything that hes trarspired
since the commencement of the war. And If
you viii announce that as the active policy Of
the Administration, and let us win one VIC
tory on it, you will be the most popular nan
ever on this continent
Mr.. Lincoln returned a nod Of earnest ac-
knoWlsdgment and another prominent OH
car present added:
Z I" have been aching 10 ask you, NJ. Pres
ident, why yo1 do not without tie consent
Of Congress, or anybody else, Gscu're or set
apart some territory somewhere IL the South,
and say to the negroes in the rebel States,
'Herei come ont and 60 over there, end we
will protect you in It's possession and your
own freedom" a
After some other general remarks, the
General and his friends Withdrew.
The General, with his staff, leaTe this P.
n. for the field Of his service in Kansas, and,
having won the contested seat in the q. s.
Senate, be now avows his intention to 60 be-

SECRETARY CAMERON AID Tbs ARMY OFFICERS.
When the officers Of the army had gather
ed into Mr.. Csmsron's parlors to-day, to
take their leave Of him, after they had all
paid their respects, and were ranged uncov-
cred around him, Mr.. Cameron said:
"Gentlemen: | am deeply sensible of the
honor you have done me by your presence
on this occssion. We have been associated
together in great werk. I have had the
army grow up under my hands, from one of
small proportions to be one of the greatest
establishments in the world. have labored
to make it worthy Of the country and the
cause We were defending. In the discharge
Of my duty, where such vast interests were
concerned, SO much feeling enlisted, have
doubtless in some cases given offence. In
cases still fewer, may have felt offences
given; but they are 50 few, 80 slight, that
cannot now remember one. dismiss all
thought of them. OF all these officers pres-
ent, there is scarcely one that have not ap-
pointed scarcely one without my name to
his commission. allude TO the fact only TO
assure you how deep the interest must feel
in you. At all times in life, and wherever ]
may be, l shall cherish the most earnest
wishes for your welfare and success, for the
glory Of our arms, and for the prosperity of
the country"
Adjt-Gen. Thomas responded briefly and
happily, saying that for years it had been
the custom, after the army officers had vel
coined new Secretary in Office, for such of
them as chose to call upon the retiring Sec
retary and give him assurances Of their re-
gard in parting. The present full company
were present. not by military order, but
from personsl respect and good will. General
