JEFF: Davis, Proc1 amation.

In this manifesto, which we give in another
column, JEFF. Davis makes number of charges
against Gen. Butler, and orders various murders
in pretended retaliation. 1t will be seen that
even admitting the charges to be true, land JEFF.
is no more bound by truth than by constitu-
tons and saths,) the worst of them are only
what has been the rebel practice and rule from
the first. Is it not the climax of insoleDce for
rebels who began by confscating the property
Of all loyal men, and by forcing them to fight
against the Government, to pretend to make a
case for savage retaliation ont of the light con-
tributions levied upon the rebel inhabitants to
relieve their own poor, reduced to starvation
bv the rebellion, and out of the regulations
which provided that those who remained under
the protection of our armies should remain
peaceable!
The citizens of Louisiana have only been
obliged to conform to regulations necessary to
the safety of our army. and not all that rigid
Administration might prescribe for this. Peace.
able inhabitants within the lines of our army
are safe. 1t is only those who wish to carry on
rebellion under our protection, that have been
disturbed. The false charge of melting slave
nsurrection is badly worn. There are no in-
surrections except those of whites. What can
equal the impudence of white insurgents charg-
ing the officers of the Government with inciting
black nsurrections? But if this atrocious
threat is carried out, to hang black men who are
taken prisoners, and the officers with whom
they are found, precedent will be get for those
atrocities of a servile insurrection which so far
as the blacks have Seen concerned, have hither.
to been imaginary.
What right will rebels have to demonstrate
against the apprehended barbarities of black
insurrection when they have inaugurated these
which JEFF. Davis threatens? These would JUS
tify black instructions and war of extermin-
alton. If we have in our hands the power to
use this instrument of slave insurrections, that
jeff Davis accuses US of, is it prudent in the
rebels to inaugurate atrocities which will fully
Justify it's use :? Or is it prudent in him to seke
the blacks this provocation and justification
Does be suppose that when he hangs the blacks
captured from our armies, and the officers who
have received the blacks, our army will be used
to suppress slave insurrections !-lCin. Gaz.

Inventive genius has been operating upon the
eye of needle, and produced an improvement
which enables the needle to be threaded as well
by the blind as by the sharp sighted. II is
done by means of lap joint in the eye Of the
needle. By laying the thread over the eye and
drawing it down to the joint, that portion of the
eve under the lap is depressed and admits the
thread into the eye. This is . small but very
useful invention.

A Female 1olhl0r.

Not long since there appeared squad Of men
at Fort Smelling for the purpose Of joining the
regiment Of Mounted Rangers, for Indian fight
ing The Orderly in charge was very boyish
looking, but Of singularly neat and soldier-like
appearance. The morning reports from this
squad were neatly and correctly made out and
were always the first received at the beadquar-
tiers of the Colonel, the young orderly taking
them up and delivering them without . word,
but giving always the proper salute in the most
graceful manner. In like manner, too, the
clothing and provision returns we're also made
ont, and the necessary amount of food and raj
ment drawn by this young soldier for the squad
ne represented. Of course such apparently ex>
treme youth and solderly quality did not escape
the vigilant eye Of the Colonel, who, believing
", tne young soldier under eighteen, on two or
three occasions, remarked to that effect; but the
young man assured him he was over eighteen,
tnoogn ne admitted, on further questioning, to
~ NOT oeing twenty-one. The Colonel made up
DIS mind that he had run away from his parents,
ana 80 told him, but he assured him he would
'ootain their written consent to the enlistment
Thus matters passed along for several days
About this time the highly esteemed daughter
OF weti-to do and respectable farmer in an in
terror county OF this State, suddenly disappeared,
ana no traces could be found of her. From re-
maf hs Soat sue had made to her mother, wishing
she was man, so that she could volunteer and
hunt down the Indians, etc, a suspicion was
aroused that she might have undertaken to car
ry her wish into effect The father proceeded
to Fort Smelling, where, in our young he-o he
found his daughter. But how to bring her
away, was the next question, as neither of them
wished the fact Of her sex publicly proclaimed;
so the old gentlemen went to the Colonel to get
his son discharged on account of being under age;
but the Colonel told him he would have to take
legal steps before he could be discharged. This
would not do, as they would no sooner disclose
their secret in court than in camp. As last
resort, the young man was properly introdned to
the Colonel as the daughter of the old gentleman,
and she was then promptly discharged. The
Colonel has, however, kept their secret, and to
this day the soldiers forming her squad don't
know the facts about their young Orderly.

EXTRAORDINARY Hoax "A day or two since,
says the Liverpool Mercury, rather questiona-
bly, hoax was perpetrated at the expense of q
widow lady, who is proprietress of shop for
the sale of jewelrv, and which is situate not q
hundred miles from the Town Hall. 1t appears
that the lady was engaged to be married to a
gentleman who is many years her juni0r-the
bridegroom being twenty-four years of age and
the bride on the shady side of ffty-six-aud the
match is supposed to have amused her friends,
who played the following practical joke:s At an
appointed hour fine hearse and six mourning
coaches drove up to the lady's shop and the
drivers stated that they had been eng lged to
inter the body of the proprietress of the estab.
lishment . ID. ... - ~ ..
The lady, as soon as she recovered from the
astonishment excited by this informstion, pros
tested that it was hoax, and somewhat indig-
nantly bade the jarvies, who were now in turn
astounded, to depart. Just at this moment
party of men came upon the scene, bearing
coffin, on the plate of which was inscribed the
name of tie incensed lady, and they insisted
that as the article was paid for they must de-
liver it. By this time considerable number
of persons had assembled opposite the shop,
which is in a crowded thoroughfare, and as
the facts of the case became known, peals Of
laughter, mingled with jeers, asssiled the ears
of the gay Lothario and his interesting but
not defunct bride The police, however inter-
fered, and the hearse and mourning coach.
es returned to the place from whence
they came. 1t is stated that shortly afterwards
a wedding chaise was drawn upon the spot
where the hearse had stood, and that the hap
py pair were conveyed to synagogue to be

0SD0V-A SUcC60O60l BXT~s
.csn,Hs..CAeapness and Bxceilecee OF ms
/ From the Boston Courier.
We have exsmineds q variety of specimens Of
paper made from straw, by process invented
oy Mr. Lemuel W. Wright, which are Of the
very best quality in their several grades. These
specimens comprise every description of paper,
adap'ed 70 1riting orprinting purposes, as we'll
psstebosrd, each Of very superior duality. The
article was manufactured by Mr.. Wrieh in
England, few years ago, he having resided
IN that country many years, and having turn.
ed out OF his mills many tons per week
We would that he could at once employ his "a.
marksble inventive and mechanical faculties
to the production Of . material which owing
to accidental circumstances, has attained ouch
an ihordinate price within q few weeks. Tho
rise in the price of paper is owing mainly 10
the deficiency in rags, which partly arises
from failure Of the natural sources of supply.
and partly from the efforts Of spectators to
increase the deficiency by accumulating the
stock in few hands. This evil could be cur.
ed at once, by substituting another equally
good material for the manufacture of paper,
which could be readily procured at cheap
rate.
1t II evident from inspection and trial of the
paper uaue VI STRAW Dy MT. wright, mat IL lS
equal to the very best in all respects and in
some is superior. 1t is white unless artificial
ly colored, fine, strong and pliable. The great
reason ofits excellence is, that, when properly
reduced to that state, the pulp of the straw is
offs finer fibre than is produced from any 9TH
er stock. The surface of the paper therefore,
is better adapted for writing and printing pur-
poses. In fact, while most other paper is
made of old material, the material of this is
entirely fresh and new; and it takes any sort of
print, like the finest India paper. 1t requires
no sizing, from its great faculty of absorption,
and there is no spreading of the ink, as in the
case Of paper made of old stuff.
Here is favorable opportunity for an enter
prise. at favorable moment, which we must
think could not fail to be attended with the
most fortunate results. The secret of the man
ufacture is with Mr.. Wright; and, by the
union of no great capital with his skill, great
public as well as private benefit could be se-
cured. While the ordinary materials of paper
were easily and cheaply accessible, there
might be no reason why, if once fairly intro
duced, this species of paper would not to q
large extent supercede the other kinds, since it
can be produced at cost much less than that
of paper made from rags, at the ordinary rates.
