u;sceRenation by Jeff. Davis.

Ben Perley Poore, in late letter from
Washington to the Boston Journal, gives
the following interesting chapter in the
life of the rebel chief:
Since the Democratic editors and ora
tors have so indecently and untruly at
tempted to accuse the Northern Union
men with having advocated miscegenation,
("I thank thee, Cox, for teaching me that
word,") a few of the thousands of in
stances in which the Southern chivalry
thus blended the shades of human color
have found their way into print. By way
of perfecting this record, l am permitted
to publish the following paragraphs from
a letter received by Senator from an Off
Ger of the United States Army, for whose
character he vouches. The letter is dated
St. Louis, April 9th, and goes on to say !:
"While at Vicksburg l resided oppo-
site to house belonging to a man who
once belonged to Joe Davis, a brother of
jeff. Learning this, I happened one day
20 think that he, perhaps, would know
something about the truth of story told
in the London Times, that there was o
son of JEFF. Davis, the mother of whom
was a slave woman, in our navy. The
next time l met the man asked him if he
had ever known Maria, who had belonged
to jeff. Davis, and was the mother of some
of his children. He replied that he had
not known Maria, but that he knew Massa
Joe Davis's Eliza, who was the mother of
some of Massa Jeff.'s children. l then
inquired if she had a son in the navy. He
replied that she had-he knew him-they
called him Purscr Davis. He said that
Eliza was down the river some thirty
miles, at work on plantation. The next
day, as l was walking down street, l met
the man, who was driving his mule team,
and he stopped to tell me that Eliza had
returned. A few moments afterwards he
came back, and, pointing to one OF two
women who came walking along, he said
that she was the woman of whom he had
been talking. When she came up stopped
her, and inquired whether she had not a
son who wished to go North. She replied
yes, and added that she would like to go
too. l told her that I only wanted lad.
She said that her son had gone up the
Red River on the gunboat Carondelet, but
that when he returned she would bepleased
to have him go. Well said 1, some say
that Jeff. Davis is your sons father-do
you suppose it's SOY Suppose! she ex-
claimed with offended pride, rs no right
to suppose what l knows am certain SO.
Massa Jeff. was the father of five of my
children, but they're all dead but that boy;
and then I had two that he wasn't the
father of. There's no suppose about it.
Perhaps, if the boy gets back safe on the
Carondelet, you may see him in Boston
some of these days"
Yet this same Jeff. Davis faunts abroad
his professions of Christianity, and sneers
at the Puritanical habits of New England.
His own life is a fitting exemphtication OF
the " Barbarism of Slavery"

CORAL IsLANDs.-It is a singular cir
cumstance arising from the instability OF
the crust of the earth, that, with only
three or four exceptions, all the smaller
tropical islands in the Pacific and Indian
Oceans are either volcanic or coralline,
except New Caledonia and the Serchclles;
and it is a startling fact, that in most cases
where there is volcanoes, the land is rising
by slow and almost imperceptible degrees
above the ocean, whereas there is every
reason to believe that these vast spaces,
studded with coral islands or atolls, are
actually sinking below it, and have been
for ages. An atoll or lagoon island con-
sists of chaplet or ring of coral enclosing
a lagoon, or portion of the ocean, in its
centre. The average breadth of the part
of the ring above the surface of the sea is
about quarter of mile, oftener less,
and it seldom rises higher than from SIX
to ten or twelve feet above the waves.
Hence the lagoon islands are not discerni-
Bile at very small distance, unless when
they are covered with the cocoa-nut,
palm, or bandanna. On the outer side of
this ring or circlet shelves down to the
distance of one hundred or two hundred
yards from its edge, SO that the sea grad
ually deepens to twenty-five fathoms, be-
yond which the sides plunge at once into
the unfathomable depths Of the ocean,
with more rapid descent than the cone
of any volcano. Even at the small dis
tance of some hundred yards, no bottom
has been found with sounding-hne
mile and half long. The coral is of the
most varied and delicate structure, and OF
the most beautiful tints. Dark brown,
vivid green, rich purple, pink, deep blue,
peach color, yellow, with dazzling white
contrasted with deep shadows, shine
through the limpid water, while fish OF
the most gorgeous hues swim among the
branching coral, which are of many df-
ferent kinds, though all combine in the
structure of these singular islands.

IRISH Op1s1oS.-The O'Donohue has

IRISH OPINION. O'Donohue has
written another letter on the American
question, in which these passages occur:
III, on the other hand, we think the
Irishmen of the north are right in march
ing to the battle for the safety of the
Union, for the maintenance of those equal
laws and privileges of which the Union
has ever been the faithful guardian for the
preservation and development Of that
prosperity and portentous greatness which
can only co-eXist with union-ought we
not to tell them so: Ought it not be our
most ardent desire that every lrishman
VINO stands in the Federal ranks should
know that he is earning our admiration
and gratitude-that our encouraging voice
could reach him at the most deadly mo-
ment of the day to give him fresh nerve,
BY bidding him charge: in the name of
Ireland that he should feel, when his
pulse is low, and the tide of life is ebbing
fast, that holy Ireland is in spirit by his
side, and that her generous heart will ever
cherish the memory of him who fell while
struggling to secure for her sure friend
in united and invincible America =!
Ireland cannot take
the part of a mute when the safety Of
America is ut stake. She must declare,
vehemently and solemnly, that she is for
the sacred cause of the Union.
1t is an incontrovertible fact that England
for basely selfish motives of her own, de-
sires to overthrow the Union quite ire
spective of,what may be the wishes or in
.erests of the contending parties. Certain
as this is, it is no reason why Ireland
should take an exactly opposite view
and 1 have referred to England and her
parizans in this discussion for the two
fold purpose of contrasting the sentiments
and views of a jealous rival with those of
a devoted friend, and Of reminding the
Irish people, while leaving to draw their
own conclusions, the natural enemies Of
Irish freedom are the most enthusiastic ad-
yocates of the recognition OF Southern in
dependence.

The REBEL CoNGREss DoING NOTHING
TO IMPROVE THE TREAsuRY.-The rebels
are losing precious time in reforming their
currency. The Examiner of February lst
says: "The currency question has lost
nothing of its vital interest, although with
drawn from the area of public discussion
by the policy of Congress. Why that
body refused to consider the important
matter in open session, is hopeless puz-
zle to straightforward common sense. If
their object is to prevent stock-jobbing. to
mar the sport of financial jugglers, we
may respect the honesty of their motives,
but we cannot give them credit for great
discernment. If they wish to maintain a
reputation for wisdom by suppressing the
reports of their debates, we concede the
expediency Of. the plan, SO far as some Of
the speakers are concerned, but we doubt
whether such q course will enhance their
fame as patriots. Every one knew what
was to be done. Every one knew that
the currency must be reduced to narrower
limits, and kept within those limits by the
Joint operations of forced funding and
heavy taxation. Everybody was prepared
for direct assault on the materia peccdnS
the Confederate notes themselves and
the scheme of Senator Oldham, which
looked to an extirpation of their volume,
was gradually gaining favor, in spite of its
apparent rashness. II Mr.. Oldham's
scheme is regarded as too violent; if it is
thought that such transition would be
too sudden, and produce too much de-
rangement and distress, it would be wiser
to withdraw the circulation by calling in,
successfully, the various denominations,
than to impose monthly tax on the whole
outstanding currency. Mr.. Memminger's
administrative faculty does not appear to
be equal to any system of collecting the
taxes already imposed by Congress; and
from voluntary payments the relief offered
is not directly appreciable, as we see by
the fact that prices are still going up, des-
pite the enormous revenue which must ac-
crue to the Government, according to the
showing of the assessment returns,

THE EVENING NEWS.
SUPPLEMENT

CoER SISG.-A writer in late number
of Macmillan's Magazine, says that Coer
Sing, one of the leaders of the Sepoys in
India, in their revolt in 1857, was not
devil at all, as he is usually painted, but
the high-souled chief of a warlike tribe,
who had been reduced to nonentity by the
yoke of foreign invader. "What am l
good for under your dynasty" was his
constant complaint to European visitors.
He had already reached an age which in
England is supposed to incapacitate for
any employment short of the premiership.
He we'll remembered the time when the
British power in India was inconsiderable
he fretted like the proud Highland chiefs,
when reduced to insignifcance by the Sc
we're and orderly sway of the Southron.
Surely, people whose favorite heroes are
Lochiel and Rob Roy, may spare little
sympathy for the chieftain, who, at eighty
years old, babe ill up his brass lotah, sad
die his elephants, and call out his men, in
asmuch as it was up with the pugres Of
Coer Sing; who inflicted on his hereditary
foe disaster most complete and tragical
who exacted from the unruly mutineers an
obedience which they paid to none other ;
who led his force in person to Lucknow,
and took leading part in the struggle
which decided the destinies of India; who,
after no hope was left for the cause north
of the Gauges, did not lose heart, but kept
his men together during long and ardu-
Gus retreat in the face of victorious enc
my; and as the closing act Of his life, by
a mastery maneuver, baffled his pursuers,
and placed his troops in safety on their
own side of the great river, when friend
and foe alike believed their destruction in
evitable. GIN that occasion a round shot
from an English gun smashed his arm, as
lie was directing the passage of the last
boatfuls of his followers, contrary to the
habit of eastern generals, who ordinarily
shun the post of danger. The old warri-
or, seeing that his last hour had come, IS
said to have cut off his shattered arm with
the hand that remained to him, and to
have died of the loss of blood that ensued.
Such was Coer Sing. TWAS fortunate for
the British that he was not forty years
younger when the revolt of 1857 broke
out.
