The State Prison.

The first annual report of Hon. HENRY Con-
DER, State Prison Commissioner, gives clear
and satisfactory report of the affairs of the
State Prison for the nine months closing with
the Both of September last.
The number Of convicts has not incr eased.
There were in the prison, on Jan. l, l26 con-
victs. Up to Sept. 80, SO were received,
while AZ have left the prison in one manner
or another The Commissioner advocates
kind and humane treatment Of the prisoners,
and adheres to the abolition of corporeaI
punishment. As an incentive to good con-
duct, five days per month are deducted from
the term Of those who do not violate the
rules of the prison. This plan has worked
well for four years
The convicts have performed over $4,000
worth of work on a much needed sewer, and
have also completed the female prison, be-
sides making other valuable improvements
The total expenses of the prison for nine
months were 81, 252.30 or 81 IA cents per
day for each prisoner. Last year the aver
age was three cents per day less, but this is
not as much difference as the advance in all
prices might have warranted. He thinks
that an appropriation Of $50, 900, together
with the income of the prison, will be sufi-
cient for the current expenses of 1865, a sum
which we should think moderate enough. The
Commissioner gives detailed statement of
all the expenses and receipts of the Prison, so
that it is very easy to see whether economy
or not has been practised. Since the prison
has been in existence, there have been 9O6
commitments. The nativity of the convicts
is shown in a separate table. Of the 900
convicts, 2I5 were born in New York, 81 in
the New England States, 184 in Germany
and 152 in Ireland. But 50 have been COM
mitted for murder in the first degree. Tween
ty-two of the hundred and twenty convicts
are sentenced for life. Twenty-eight are
temperate, "A are moderate drinkers and IS
Incorporate.

Vim. L. DAYTON.

The country will hear with unfeigned re-
greet of the death of Hon. VIM L. DAYTON,
our accomplished Minister at Paris He died
in that city on the I'd inst, of apoplexy, in
the 58th year Of his age.
The deceased was born in New Jersey in
1907. At various times, he has held import
ant and honorable positions Of trust and use
fulness, all of which he filed with high cred
it and honor. In 1887 he was a State Sena.
tor; in 1888 he was a Judge on the New
Jersey State Supreme Bench; in 1912 he took
his seat in the United States Senate, where
he remained until 1851, being one of the most
influential and honorable members of that
body, and Distinguishing himself as Free
Soil Wing, by his opposition to Slavery in
the Territories and in the new State of Cali
tornla, his advocacy of the aboE ton OF slav.
cry in the District of Columbia. and his bold
denunciation of the Fugitive Slave Law. He
was an influential friend and adviser of Presi.
dent Taylor. In 1856 he was nominated fo1
the Vice Presidency Of the United States, on
the ticket with FREMONT, by the Republican
National Convention. In 1857 he was ap
pointed Attorney General of the State Of
New Jersey, which position he resigned il
1850, to accept that of Minister to Paris, at
the hands of Mr.. LINCoLN's Administrations
Our country could not have more faithful
or efficient representative abroad than he ha:
been during his trying and creditable presi
dency of our Paris Legation.

JEFF, Davis Caunaign.

The " consummate generalship' of the reb
el chiefs illustrated by the present campaign.
1t was JEFF. DAVIS himself who planned
HOOPS grand demonstration on Nashville
The outlines of the programme were given in
his speeches to the rebel army of the South
west when he visited it in October. SHERMAN
was to be ianked, and his army either COB
bled up entire, or compelled to make a pre-
cipitous retreat, which JEFF. predicted would
be more disastrous than the famous retreat of
NAPOLEON from Moscow. The Tennessee
. troops under HooD would set foot once more
on their native heath. Great was their joy
at receiving this assurance. Tennessee was
to be restored to the rebel jurisdiction, and
direct communication established with Rich
mond.
The outline of the campaign was welcomed
with enthusiasm by the rebel newspapers
They gave some unctious descriptions of tie
calamities that were about to fall upon SHER-
MAN and his Yankees. These were no doubt
delightful reading down in Dixie. They were
| as sweet in the mouth as the little book
which the angel gave to st. John, and equal
! ly unpleasant of digestion we suspect. The
weak point in the programme consisted il
the omission to secure cooperation on the
! part of our armies The result must be al
| astounding one to those who were expecting
great things from it, in aid of the rebellion
Gen. SHERMAN ''retreated" in quite an unex
pected direction and refused utterly to re
enact the Moscow affair so pleasantly alluded
to by JEFF, while Gen. THOMAS has given the
rebs such reception, on the soil of Tennes
see, that those who get away will never con
template the prospect of setting foot on i
again, except with shudder instead of al
| hurrah

fHE MOUNTAIN.
-nss ADELAIDE ANN PROCTOR

~
like dreary prison walls
The stern gray mountains rise,
Until their topmost crags
Touch the far gloomy skies:
One steep and narrow path
Winds up the mountains crest,
And from our valley leads
Out to the golden West.
! dwell here in content,
Thankful for tranquil days;
And yet my eyes are dim,
AS still I gaze and gaze
Upon that mountain pass,
That leads-or so it seems
To some far happy land,
Known n the world of dreams.
And as I watch that path
Over the distant hill,
A foolish longing comes
My heart and soul to fill,
painful, strange, desire
To break some weary bond;
A vague, unuttered wish
For what might lie beyond
In that far world unknown,
Over that distant hill,
MAY dwell the loved and lost,
Lost yet loved still;
/ have aa-ning hope,
Half longing and half pain,
That by that mountain pass
They may return again.
pace keep my friends apart
Death has mighty thra!l;
There is another gulf
Harder to cross than all;
Yet watching that far road,
NV heart beats full and fast;
IF they should come once more,
If they should come at last
See down the mountain side
The silver Vapors creep;
They hide the rocky cliffs,
They hide the craggy steep,
They hide the narrow path
That comes across the hill
o foolish longing, cease,
o beating heart, be still!

PARTICULARS OF Mr. DAYToN's DEATR.-Pri
vate letters received at Washington give the
particulars Of the death Of Hon. Mr.. DAYTON
He left his house in perfect health to call up,
on lady at the Hotel de louvre. Soon af
ter entering her room he complained of feel
ing unwell and laid down upon sofa. He
appeared to fall asleep and the lady. threw a
shawl over him and called a physician. On
examination he was found dead in the posi-
ton which he had laid down.

rs Chief Justice CHASE, on the 10Th,
took the ''iron-clad oath" of allegiance pre-
scribed by the Senate at its last session, in
the ante room before being sworn into Office
A Washington correspondent says the new
Chief Justice differs from every other Judge
on the Supreme Bench in having taken this
oath, and from some of them, it is insinuated,
in being able to take it. The oath declares
that he mas never given any aid or comfort to
the rebellion, or expressed desire for its sue
cess, or cowesponded with its leaders, &C.,
&c. It is doubted whether some Of the
Southern judges could say as much. The son
of one of them is now Adjutant General o.
the State of Georgia, and commanding troops
against SHERMAN.

Is Subscriptions are being collected in
Prussia for the purpose of completing the
famous Cathedral of Cologne, the towers and
some other parts of which remain uncomp!et-
ed, the legend being that the architect sold
himself to old Nick for a plan, which the old
gentleman gave him, but did not allow him to
carry out to completion, as he carried him off
before the towers were half finished The
architect, nevertheless, was a man of genius
and would find but little encouragement in
this degenerate age of building, as his scheme
was so magnificent that each foot in height of
the towers will absorb four thousand cubic
feet of stone and cost seven hundred pounds.

4 LETTER FROM KossUTH.-Ko writes
TO Secretary SEWARD, under date of Sept.
l6. Z" 1t was always my opinion that nothing
but the sword can decide between the con-
ficting principles of freedom and slavery in
the United States. The time has come for
the bloody but unavoidable arbitration
pray to God to give his blessing to your en-
deavor, that the curse and stain of slavery be
forever removed from your country, and the
Democratic principle shall not be found want
ing in the trial to which we see it exposed"
