SThe most appalling catastro-
phe of modern times occurred at
Valparaiso, in Chilli, on the Sth of
December last, by which over 1000
women aud children were burned to
death. The burning of the Rich
mond Theatre many years ago, cast
a gloom over the whole nation
Yet here were thousands gathered
together to witness one of the grand
pageants of the Catholic Church,
and in the midst of the worship, sud-
denly enveloped in flames caused by
combustible matter used in the py-
rotechnic display. The pusillani-
nous conduct Of the priests in stri-
wing to only save the relics, wooden
images and other sacred property of
the church, for that purpose shut
ting up the only avenue of escape
for the miserable devotees, deserves
the execration ofthe whole world.
The noble conduct of our Ameri-
can Minister, and American residents
Chill, is spoken of in the highest
terms. We publish elsewhere a few
extracts from Gillian papers, giving
an account of this most terrible and
heart sickening misfortune.

A splendid Flag, made by Miss
Gebhart of Dayton, was presented to
Gov. Brough on last Friday. 1t is
said to be one of the finest Ipieces of
work, of the kind ever seen. Fonr
months labor was expended upon it.
Gov. Breugh, on receiving it, paid
the following beautiful tribute to wo-
man.
And then, sir, it comes from the
hand of woman. What do we not
owe to herr She was last at the cross,
she was earliest at the grave, and in
all the struggles of time, which have
fastened the advance of civilization,
she has been foremost wherever pat
riotism, wherever glory led man
Wherever any noble feeling was the
incentive to duty on his part, woman
has ever been found ready to sustain
him, and what do we not owe, Sir, to
the women of Ohio? Who were so
untiring in the contestwe have passed
through? Men labored,- but women
labored with them, and the majority
which Ohio declared, was due largely
to the patriotic appeals, the entreaties
and the smiles of the women of the
State. Then who shall estimate the
good they have done to our armies?
What an immense amount of aid and
encouragement they have carried to
our brave men in the field, to men in
the hospitals, enduring the pangs of
fearful wounds, to men suffering from
privation and toll. How unfaltering
their patience How enduring their
devotion, and all this then, simply
because the men were engaged in up
holding the cause this banner repre-
sents. For all this the women of our
country have not had the credit they
deserve, but they have done it in
support of a government that pro-
tects them and cares for them better
than any other government on the
face of the earth, This banner rep
resents that spirit upon the part of
the ladies', and it is therefore doubly
dear to me on that account. As such
it is welcome to meas such / will
preserve it-as such will cherish it.

They seem much more anxious for

that is. Well let US have the tax
If the eopperheads in Congress are

JEFF. DAVIS PLANTATION.

Last June, when before Vicksburg,
Gen. Grant suggested the ease with
which this Bend could be defended,
and the dcsirableness Of making jeff.
Davis plantation a negro paradise"
In December last the Bend was occu.
pied for that purpose. Fanciful
schemes, projected in regard to the
Freedmen. have operated against any
practicable project toward that end
Something. however, has been done.
The neck Of land connecting the Bend
with the main land is only 700 PAGES
across aud is safely guarded by black
troops.
When the war came on, the planta-
tons included were known as 1.-THE
Woods the Turner and Quitman,

bracing, it is thought by those most
familiar with the place. about 10000
acres of cultivated land. g.. ......
Joe. Davis was man Of considera-
bic wealth, and gave his brother jeff
some years ago, thousand acres ly-
ing along the east of his estate. Here
JEFF. built this house, as stated by his
old servants now there, about eight
cen years since, on the Southern plan
one story with ample piazzas, or
galleries as they call them there, four
rooms in the centre, and two rooms
in each of the two wings.
The architecture Of the house is
neither specially attractive nor it's ma.
terial expensive. The trees around
were spared from the original forest
Vandalism made its appearance be-
fore any regular occupation of the
place shade trees were cut down
door knobs and marble mantles were
taken away as relics.
Now the house is occupied by Tho
Superintendent and teachers of freed
men. Free labor and free schools ar,
prospering. Eleven teachers are OF
the Bend. About fifteen hundre,
acres of land have been plowed som
weeks since. 1t was originally il
tended by those in charge of freedme
that no private interests should com
here to conflict with theirs. The Ian,
was to be divided into small farms t
