JOHN II. CRAFTY, Sec.
Davis!

The arch Rebel has at last been caught,
as will be seen elsewhere in our paper
And now the question is, what will be
done with him He it is who is respon-
sible for the starving and other i'll treat
ment Of our prisoners of war in Rebel
hands-we mean legally responsiblc-for
we hold that in moral sense. Gen. Lee
is equally responsible,-his vast influence
could have prevented it. Our prisoners
in their hands were not only starved, but
for the most trifing offence all most, and
in some instances, tortured quite to death.
Numbers ofsmall boys were allow d to chase
them through the stockade with sharp in
struments, pricking them every step
The law that requires an eye for an eye,
and tooth for tooth, would doubtless
allow the fathers, mothers and sisters Of
those who have fallen victims TO rebel
cruelty to so treat JEFF. Killing him by
inches would not be full retaliation for
the untold cruelties which thousands of
brave Union soldiers have suffered at his
hands. The people will not require this
stern retrobution however All that they
will insist on is that he be put to death !;
nothing short of this viii satisfy the peo-
pie of the Loyal States, while it will
please many in the disloyal. As to the
time and place it is hard even to guess
Were we ordering the affair, We would
have him swung off Immediately on The
lifting of the first curtain o. the occd-
aston of the grand parade that is soon to
come off at Washington. After his de-
mise, there would be seeming fitness in
grand review.

Trial of Mrs. Perrinc.
WASHINGTON, May IL

y
The trial of Mrs. Bessie Perrine, of
Baltimore, was resumed to-day before the
Court Martial of which Gen. Chapman
is President, and Col Chapman is Judge
Advocate. Mrs. Perrine is charged with
assisting rebel cavalry in plundering the
train between Baltimore and Philadelphia
during the raid of General Early last
summer.
Among the witnesses for the prosecu-
ton was Mr.. A. q. Perry, who was on
the train at the time of its capture. He
testified that when the passengers were
ordered to leave the cars he saw Mrs.
Perrine shaking hands with the rebels,
and seeming very much pleased. She
also pointed towards trunk which the
rebels broke opan.
Chas Fisher, First Assistant. Engineer
in the Navy, not only saw Mrs. Perrine
welcome the rebels but kiss one of them.
She said she was glad they had come or
that she expected them, and pointing to
some baggage told the rebels that it be-
longed to the Yankee officer.
After the passengers were on the guE-
boat the witness said to friend that he
was surprised to see lady on the boat
who had welcomed the rebels and kissed
them. The lady heard the remark and
replied, that among the rebels were num-
bers Of some of the first families of Bal
tmore. lie heard rebel tell the accus-
ea that they expected to be in Baltimore
next day ana would call on her, and that
they would take care Of her baggage.
a A Fs leral officer who conversed with
Mrs. Perrine stated that the passengers
en- the trains were much excited, and
thought she was implicated with the rel
els IN breaking open trunks.
Witnesses were produced to show the
nervous and excited temperament of Mrs.
Perrine in order co a count for her exhil-
liration at the time of the seizure of the
cars by the rebels, The defence then
closed.

and showed eigns.of battle, but yield
ed promptly to the persuasions of
of Colts revolvers, without compel
ling the men to fire. He expressed
great Indignation at the energy with
which he was pursued, saying, that
he had believed our Government too
magnanimous to hunt d wn women
and children.
Mrs. Davis remarked to Col. Har-
den. after the excitement was over,
that the men had better not provoke
the President, or he might hurt some
of them. Regan behaves himself
with dignity and resignation. The
party evidently were making for the
coast.

As things look now, the volunteer army
will all be home in time to vote this fall

Our nominations take place on the 10th
of June many of them may be home at
that time. Fearing that some of them,
at least, would not, the Executive Com

the day on which soldiers who have been
unable to reach home, may cast their
votes, and thus express their preferences
as to who shall compose our ticket in the
approaching canvass. This, lis thought,

Andy OEanAOsl.

AT Nashville, seven years ago, anec-
dates of the GOODNESS and courage of
Gov, Johnson were among the cur
rent coin Of conversation. A pO-
litical opponent of the Governor, an
eyewitness of the occurrance, told
US that a placa~d was posted in the
town, one mcTnine, announcing, in
the well-known language of old Ten
nessee, that Andy johnson was to
be shot son sight. Friends of the
Governor assembled at his house to
escort him to the State House. "No, "
said he, gentleman, if am to be
shot at, | want no man to be in the
way of the bullet"
Another similar story is related.
He was announced to speak on one
of the exciting questions of the day,
and loud threats were uttered that,
if he dared to appear, he should not
leave the hall alive. At the appoint
hour, he ascended to the platform,
and advancing to the desk, laid his
pistol upon it. He then addressed
the audience in teens as near the fol-
lowing as our informant could recol-
lect:
Fellow citizens it is proper when
freemen assemble for the discussion
of important public interests, that
everything should be done decently
in order. | have been informed that
part of the business to be transacted
on the present occasion is the assas-
sination Of the individual who now
has the honor of addressing you. |
beg respectfully to propose that this
be the first business in order. There
fore, if any man has come here to-
night for the purpose indicated, do
not say to him, let him speak, but let
him shoot.
Here he paused, with his right
hand on his pistol, and the other hol-
ding open his coat, while with his
eyes he blandly surveyed the assem-
bly,. After pause OF halt minute
he resumed:
Gentlemen, it appears that | have
been misinformed. l will now pro-
ceed to address you on the subject
that has called US together.
Which he did, with all his accus-
toned boldness and vivacity, not
sparing his adversaries, but giving
them plenty of pure Tennessee.

Soldiers Voting,

To the Republican party belongs the
credit of having extended the right of
voting to our brave soldierssiu the field.
They are now about to return to their
several homes to enjoy once more the bles-
sings of civil liberty, for the maintenance
of which they turned their backs on the
dearest domestic ties to share the fortunes
of the camp, the march, and the battle
field. There is little doubt as to where
their political sympathles will fall Per-
haps the sevep-eighths of them were orig
inally Republican; and we think it safe
to say that, in the future, nineteen-twenti-
eths of them will act with the Republi-
can party, believing as they do, that it
was through the agency of that party
tha. the North was prevented from inau-

pity to see so many of our farmers and
others, who have gone to greet labor aud
expense putting up costly buildings, stop
short, leaving the yard unprotected or
uncultivated-perhaps the fowls and
hogs running round the door, To all
such we would say, close in your gardens
and yards with good aud dtastfully arran-
ged fence, fill your garden with usefaroots
and plant your yard with a variety of
shade trees and shrubs, being careful to
have few evergreens to brighten the
appearance when others have put of their
foliage
The Pearcc nursery, about three miles
little south of west from this place, has
fine variety of almost every kind of
shade trees, where we would advise all
those who have not procured them else
Where, to go at once and get good as

turn our attention once more, with re-
newcd vigor, to domestic Improvements.

FROM Inc Toronto Leader, May 5.
To the Editor Of The LEADER.
SIR: The reward Of $4,000 of
fered for my capture by Presid mt
johnson imperatively demands that
| should take the first opportunity
and the most public means of refer
ing to the proclamation which brands
me before the world as a participa-
tor in the murder of the late Presi
dent of the United States. The 9TH
er gentlemen whose names are asso-
ciated with mine caye to speak for
themselves.
In this proclamation | am referred
to as the clerk of Mr.. G. G. Clay.
/ deny most emphatically that l ever
occopied such position.
As to the assassination of Mr.. Lin
coin, | declar. before high Heaven
and the whole world that | knea
nothing of it until it had been COM
m tied and announced in the news
papers. There is not a particle of
trnta IN the statement that '.concoc-

The announcement of the great crime
came upon me as it no doubt did up
on thousands of Others who read it in
the papers on the day succeeding
Good Friday, like a clap of thunder /;
ana | shared, with all my heart, in
the general regret that so foul deed
had been committed, and that too, at
a time when the war, as consider
ed, had virtually been brought to a
close.
Positive proof of my innocence it
is, of course, impossible for me to pro-
duce. Bnt if circumstantial evidence
is of any avail, | may state that only
a week age | went to Detroit under
''safe conduct" of the military au-
thorites" to arrange my affairs and
return to my native State. If | had
been guilty of the crime aid to my
charges, does any one Impose that

American soil when important reva-
lations were daily being male and
numerous persons arrested
| can do no more nov than open

ccuce. In doing this l appeal to the
justice of a community which, trust

to the right feeling of the Govern
ment az Washinfton, who have been
most egregiously deceived, if any evil
dence has been put in their posses

Planting Silrubery.

Some suppose that the season for plant
ing is quite past, but this is grand mis-
take Many persons of experience be-
lieve this to be the best time to pant
ereygreens Last season we procured a
couple of large Cedars from the Nursery
Of Silas Pearce & Sons,-it was in the
month of June; we dug holes about
three feet and half in diameter aud
about eighteen inches deep, filed them
with good rich soil. After planting we
poured all the water upon the fresh soil
which it would contain, and then cover
cd it over with decaying weeds and some
straw. They were frequently watered
during the dry weather that followed,
and We never saw trees grow better than
they. We have often thought it a great

The Lnte Railroad Robbery.

The robbery of the Oh and Missis-
sippi railroad train, on Friday night,
few miles below this city, was one Of the
most audacious operations that we have
heard Of The thieves of course were
higawaymen. The facility with which
they opened the safes Of the Adams Fix.
press indicates that there were profession-
al thieves probably from this city, in the
gang. ltwould be useles to talk to such
a band Of outlaws about the brutality of
throwing a railroad train, filled with pas
sengors, of the track They were bent
on plumber and would, if necessary, have
sacrafeed every life on the train. The
thieves came fr0m and returned to Ken
lucky. Having crossed in boats, all the
people in that. ueighborhood cannot be
entirely ignorant of their movements. But
aside from this, the fact that they find
cover in Kentucky, shows that severe
measures are necessary to clear that State
of the robbers and cutthroats that infest
it If society we're right over there, guer-
rilla bands could not exist very long. SO
long as guerrillas are permitted to sur
render and are allowed 10 scatter among
the people, new bands will be formed,
and we shull have recurrence Of outra-
ges such as was committed on Friday
night 4 dead guerrilla will not be like
ly to do any misohief therefore, the true
policy is to hunt them down, and shoot
or hang as they may be caught.
