Some months since, it was publicly an
nounced that Thurlow Weed shared the
hospitalities of the cccentric-eyed sage of
Washington Heights. at his own residence,
and much curiosity was manifested as to
"what was the matter. Weed is not the
man to spend his time with scala Eag
like Bennett without purpose, and our
Washington correspondent, in private
note, gives us the facts in the case, which
are very curious. After Bull Run, il will
be remembered, The Government was com
PEELED. by a sense of self preservation, to
practically suspend the journal of Com
merce, Daily News, Day Book, and other
disloyal papers. The Herald all this time
was perfectly loyal; but about the time
Mr.. Chase was negotiating his first loan,
it began to show it's secret venom to the
loyal cause by attacking the financial
policy of the Administration, and was
preparing, true to its instincts of mis-
chief, for terrific onslaught on the Gov
eminent. Secretary Seward, however,
was determined not to submit to it, and he
consequently sent Weed to see Bennett
and inform him Of the feeling at Wash
ington. He was notified that if he open
ed on the Government his paper would be
seized and he sent to Fort Lafayette
Bennett tdom' good deal, but was
silenced BY a copy of dispatch dated a.
the Herald Office, which had been seized
by the Government early in the war,
which proved the Herald establishment
to have been in the intara22.. sind pay of
s J a. Davis. The old Scotch traitor was
completely cured by this exhibit, and
promised to support the Government
earnestly. especially Mr.. Seward. This

jeff. Thompson,s Exploit AT Com
mercc--A Patriotic woman.
On Sunday, December Both, the mai
steamer City Of Alton came near falling
into the Hands of JEFF. Thompson's rebel
gang, at Commerce, Mo. The St. Louis
Democrat details the circumstances:
Gas the boat neared the landing al
Commerce, lady was seen on the bank
gesticulating wildly and shouting to those
on board the boat to "keep back, keep
back don't land the secesh will shoot
you = But before she could be distinctly
understood the boat had approached close
in shore, and the gang-plank had been run
out so that it nearly touched the levee.
At this instant crowd of jeff. Thomp-
sons band rushed forward from their con
eealment and commenced firing with mus
kets to bring down the pilot. The bull
lets fell thick and fast, hitting the smoke
stack and upper works i'll suHaHy places !;
but the pilot had by this time rnng the
bell to back, and the boat put down the
river some two miles, to the plantation of
loyal Frenchman, where they procured
arms in sufficient quantity TO make for
midable resistance and, having barricad-
ed the wheel house and the exposed points
below, the Alton moved back up the river
again, with colors flying. On her ap-
proaeh the second time. the secesh took
to their heels, leaving the landing of the
boat uncontested Commodore Porter,
who was on hoard, took charge of the ar
rangements for defence, and things were
speedily put in condition for vigorous
action.
jeff. Thompson told the people, who
were standing ON the bank shivering with
the cold, as the boat was coming round
the bend on her first approach, that he
would soon make a FIRE that would warm
them all He had made preparations and
intended to burn the boat, after having
taken from her all articles Of most value
to his gang of desperadoes and thieves,
and would undoubtedly have succeeded in
his designs, but for the heroic lady above
referred to-Mrs. Eversoll The would
be incendiaries endeavored to stop her
from warning of the boat. but, being
of an Amazon, she cast from
her, right and left. the haif-staryed aud
followers of JEFF, as though they
were children and, when they threaten
ed to shoot her, she defied them to do it.
After the boat had backed out, in accord
ance with her timely warning, Brigadier
General jeff. approached her menacingly,
6lled with rage, when she coolly informed
his excellency that he was dirty cut
throat, and his men were band of thieves
and murderers. and, that, If they would
come one at time. she would take the
contract of whipping every mothers son
If them. You know said she, that
