A Rebel Spy on Trial

Some days ago rebel officer named s.
B. Davis, alias, W, Cummings, q leuten.
ant in the rebel service, was recognized
by soldiers on board a railroad train in
Ohio, SO the former keeper of the rebel
prison pen at &ndersonville. BE was al
rested on charge of being spy, and is
now before court-marsial in Cincinnati
Thur.day he made speech to the court,
concluding as follows;
Gentlemen, ! do not rsk pity. My
heart fears nothing on his Garth. l am
no coward. |, Ike the rest of you, have
hced bullets before to-day. Some of you
bayo marks of them en- show them,
too. ask not for pity; | ask but for
Justice, if you or any other court on Gods
globe can make me out a spy, hang me,
Gep,lemeu am not afraid to die. Young
as am, scarcely yerged into manhood
| would Ike to live But, gentlemen,
am 10 coward, and ! deem man who
would stand here before his fe!low-men
before soldiers who have faced the foe
who have felts bullets, and ask pity, doe'
no, deserve the name of man. Had ]
thought that you could have regarded mt
as a spy, nothing could have forced mt
out of Richmond. As to gathering infor

A Good Story.

Some years since er eccentric old ge-
Nous whom we'll call Barns, was employ
&C by farmer living in town some siZ
or seven miles westerly from the Penob
scot river, to dig a we'll, The soil and
substratum being mostly sand, old Barnes,
after having progressed downward about
forty feet, found one morning, upon 60.
ing oct to his work, that the we'll had es-
seutially caved in, and was full nearly to
the top. So, having that desire which
men have, of knowing what will be said
Of them after they are dead, and 70 one
being astir, he concealed himself in rank
groath Of burdocks by the side Of board
fence, near the mouth of the well, having
frst left his frock and hat upon the wind
less over the we'll At length breakfast,
being ready, boy was dispatched to call
him to his meal, when 10 ! aud behold il
was seen that Barnes was buried in the
grave unconsciously dug by bis owr hands.
fhe alarm was given, and the Family as
sembled, it wss decided first TO cat break
tas. and then send for the coroner, the
minister and bis wife and CHILDREN. Such
apathy did not fatter Barnes sel.esteem
q Bit, but ho waited patiently, determined
to hear what was 10 be said, and see wha.
was tobc seen.
Presently all parties arrived and began
prospecting the scene Of the catastrope
as is usual in such cases. At length
they drew together to exchange opinions
as to what should be done. The minister
al once gave it as his opinion that they
had better level up the well and le
Barnes remain; for said he, he is now
beyond the temptation to sin, and in tht
day of judgement it will make no differ
ence whether he is buried FIVE feet undel
the ground or fifty, for he is bound tC
come forth in either case The coroner
likewise agreed that it would be needless
expense to bis family or the towa to dis
inter him when he wac SO edectually bur
led and therefore entirely coiucided will
the minister. His wife thought that as h,
had left his hat an6 irock, it was hardly
worth while to dig him out for the rest Of
his clothes and SO it was settled to lie
him remain. But poor old Barnes, wht
had nc breakfast, and was not al al pleas
ed with the result of the inquest, lay quie
until the shades of evening had stole owe
the Landscape, when he quickly departed
to parts unknown,
After remaining incoguitic for abou
three years, one morning he suddenly ap
peared (hatless and lrockless as he went,
at the door of the farmer for whom b
agreed to dig the unfortunate well. II

February l4th 1865. I

February l4th, 1865.
Dear Democrat Although | have
been citizen of this place for the last eight
years, married and raising family oftwo
children a boy and girl,) have accumu-
lated little Of this worlds goods, and for
ought know will spend the rest Of my
days here, which trust will be many and
blissfi. have uot forgotten the place oil
my boyhood-the place around which
hang SO many pleasing rccollectons ofmy
school.boy days, of the many times l
'played truent'' to get an education in my
heels which now shoul Id have in my head :,
Of the mapy sound thrashings we got from
"Cotty' Foster, for licking him out and
locking him in, and FIR mischief gcneI ally.
These things often crowd in upon my mind
in my recolectiens Of by-gone days, but
no more frequent than the incidents that
occurr ed during my "devilship" at the
Beruick Gazette office, which was cwned
and conducted at that time by L +. H..
WIN, & Co., and edited by the former
than whom better and kinder man never
lived. OF my connection with the Cam-
paign, published in Bloomsbury, in the
summer of 1856, and our starting ofthe
Democratic Sentinel, at Orangeville, ]
have but few thoughts, for they are con-
nected with too much hard labor ahd poor
pay, or might say no pay a, all. But
cannot refrain from thinking of the days
spent in the old Columbia Democrat Office
of the good times and the busy times, aud
ef the sound seedlings the "boys" use tc
get by the'Colonel for neglect Of businesi
in his abseBse. These recollections and
the recollec ectons Of the bountiful tables
that we boys used to crowd around, got
ten up under the supervision of Mrs. TATE
who was ever mindful Of our wants anc
happiness, cling to my mind as blissiy
moments Of the past.
