A PRAIsRwoRrHY DEED OF CLARITY
The Massachusetts Bible Society lately
presented to the popular branch of the
legislature Of that State, which has
been in session ever since the first of
January, an elegant copy of the Holy
Bible The members We're taken abaCk
somewhat, but soon rallied, passed a
vote of thanks, and ordered the Book to
be placed in the hands of the clerk for
safe keeping, We would fain hope that
they might be taught therein so to num-
Der their days that they would apply
their hearts unto wisdom.
5gThe anti slavery society, which
holds it's anniversary meetings in New
York during the present week is having
a lively time discussing the question Of
dissolution. Mr.. Garrison maintains
that the object Of the organization is
now attained, inasmuch as slavery is
virtually abolished by the will of the
whole people. Mr.. Phillips ON the other
hand insists that as slavery still has q
legal existence, the purpose of the so.
ciety is not yet accomplished, Each of
those renowned champions is supported
by gOodly number of followers, and
the final result is doubtful.

THURSDAY, MAY II, 1865.
Mexico.

Something is in the wind with regard
10 Mexico. The New York papers say
that during the past week great interest
has been manifested by returned volun-
teers In the rumors relating to the
formation of regiments for the purpose
of lighting under the flag Of Juarez.
General ortega, who has been mention
cd as the probable successor of Presi-
dent Juarez appears to be at the head OF
the enterprise, and meeting has been
appointed at the Cooper Institute, at
which all necessary explanations are
promised to be made.
The Courier DIES Etats Unis denounces
the whole thing as a filibusterlng pro-
ject, in which only "unprincipled and
lawless adventurers-the dregs of all
the large cities of the Union, those who
have no regular occupation, and who Ill
the prisons by their crimes will be the
Adventures.
1t Is not to be supposed that our gov
eminent would allow such palpable
violation of neutrality as the open en-
trance of an armed force into Mexico,
for the purpose Of fighting against the
Emperor
The probable nature of the expedition
as Swallowed forth in the New York
Herald, presents q three-fold aspect.
The first is a quiet colonization of the
rich and beautiful country of Sonora by
Americans. Juarez offers his American
friends a certain amount of bounty
money, and generous "patch of land
II they will settle down and develope its
resources; and authorizes them to pro-
tect themselves as circumstances may
require. As the prohibition to carry
arms out of this country has been re-
voked, the emigrants can go fully sup
piled with all the necessary means of de-
fence.
In the second place, there can be little
doubt that these emgrants will be invi-
ted at favorable juncture to aid in the
overthrow of Macmillan. They will
not strike the first blow but if attacked
they will show that there are blows to
give as well as take, and having COM
menced they may continue to strike
till the last armed foe expires, or cries
for quarter.
In the third place it is conjectured
that the Emperor may not be pleased
with the idea Of Americans settling in
such near proximity, and that he will
be taken with an irrepressible desire to
go home to Austria. In that case the
question of reconstruction will be-
come an important one. The church
party would probably make vigorous
effort to gain the ascendency; and in
such an emergency goodly number of
Americans, who had seen service, would
be an acceptable ally to Juarez or his
successor,
Last Monday morning, Col. Allen, at
his headquarters in New York, opened
books of enrolment, which were filled
in very short time with names of col
onels, captains and privates who had
become seasoned in the business of war.
They are represented as having embraced
the project with great confidence aud
buoyancy of spirit. We shall await
with some curiosity, not to say anxiety,
the result of this new movement.

has always retained the entire confidence
of the Union men.
General Alvord is student, man of
some considerable attachments, and has
at times delivered interesting lectures
before our literary and agricultural So
ce.ies. He has our best wishes in part
ing, that he may have pleasant journ-
ey East, and a prosperous and honora-
bic future in the service of his country,
as his services and qualifications war
rant us in believing that he will com
mand the confidence Of the Government
there, as he has sustained that Of the
Union men here.

Observation-Disclosures George N.
Flagg Of Middlebury will in few days
take his place on steam frigate, which
is to join the European squadron for a
three years cruise. 1t is expected that
the first port visited will be Cronstadt.
The visit to Russia is by request of that
government, to give them an opportu-
nifty to reciprocate the favors shown
them two years since, when their feet
first visited our waters.

BAXTER HosPITAL.-In obedience to
orders from Washington, Surgeon Gen
eral Thayer has been busy for the past
few days discharging soldiers unfit for

Twenty-four contract nurses have also

A "CHRIsTIAN SOLDIBR"-A cores
respondent Of the New York Tribune
says
The respects recently rendered to Rob
ert E. Lee by seven Christian Commits
siOners might be somewhat modified by
knowledge of the testimony Offered be-
fore committee Of the War Department
by the late slaves of that GeneralissimO
They were formerly held by GUSTS, who
freed them at his death, after which Lee
insisted that they should work for him
five years to pay, debt owed him by
Cnstis, his father in law. The emancipat-
ed slaves were mutinous and several ran
away North, but were retaken and re-
turned, and whipped terribly by the
Overseer in the presence of Lee. This
cultivated gentleman ordered the clothes
of the men and women to he cut off on
their refusal to take them off to BE- fog
ged, and after the logging ordered the
gashes washed with brine and rubbed
down with corn husks. This is what
several of the freedmen and women les
tity to- and what the General probably
did not tell the seven members of the
Christian Commission, who called to
pay their respects.
a MAGNIFIcANT GIFT TO GEN GRANT.

New Book,

The American Publishing Company,
Hartford, Conn, propose shortly to issue
a work entitled The FIELD, the Dun
GEoN, and the ESCAPE, which wifi en-
brace Mr., A. D. Richardson's unparal-
lelled experience for four years:
l. Travelling through the South in the
secret service Of the Tribune at the out
break of the war.
2. With our armies and fleets both
East and West, during the first two
years of the Rebellion.
3. His thrilling capture while run
ming the batteries on the Mississippi
River at Vicksburg, where more than
half his companions were either killed
or wounded.
4. His confinement for twenty months
in seven different rebel prisons.
B. His escape and almost miraculous
journey by night of nearly 400 miles,
aided by negroes and Union Mountain
GERS of North Carolina and Tennessee
through the enemy's country to our
lines.
1t will abound in stirring events new
er before given to the public, and con-
tain especially minute details of the es-
cape, which have not yet appeared, in
Guiding description of Dan Ellis, the
famous Union Pilot and the " Unknown
Guide, in the person of young lady,
who pilOted Mr.. Richardson and his
comrades by night, out of a rebel am
bush.
From some of the advance sheets
which we have been permitted to exam
inc, we extract single paragraph relat-
ing to Daring Union Girl" who, on
horseback, piloted the author and his
companions by night cup and down
rocky hills, across streams, through
swamps, over fences, everywhere but
upon public thoroughfares.
She led US for seven miles. Then,
while we remained in the wood, she rode
forward over the long bridge which
spanned the Nolechucky River to see if
there were any guards upon it; went to
the first Union house beyond to learn
whether the roads were picketed; came
back aud told US the coast was clear.
Then she rode by our long line toward
her home. We should have given her
three rOusing cheers, had it been safe to
cheer | hope the time is not far dis
tant when her name may be made pub
lie. Until the rebel guerrillas are driv-
en- out from their hiding places near her
mountain home, it will not be prudent"
We fully believe that the book will be
a very interesting one.
