PRENTICE ON JEFF. DAvIs.-It is stated
that JEFF. Davis whilst fleeing in pettcoats,
had concealed a pillow upon his stomach
to excite the sympathy of his pursuers, by
making them think that he was in an inter.
esting way. But they saw at glance that
he was too old for anything of that sort
The Confederate soldiers, when they go
into battle, often whoop like indians Per
haps JEFF. Davis, when surrounded by the
Fedral troops, didn't whoop, but he hooped
We wonder whether JEFF. Davis, when he
put on the petticoat, called in the aid of cot
ton to give voluptuous appearance to his
tender bosom.
1t is to be hoped that jeff Davis assump.
tion of the petticoat will not establish the
fashion with his male admirers
jeff. Davis, even if pardoned, can never
again be elected to Office. Our people are
not fond Of pctticoat government
1t is said that Davis excuse for wearing
petticoat is, that his wife has often wore the
the breeches.
Five hundred dollars is offered for the pet
ticoat that Jef. DAVIS ran away in. Petit.
coats have risen.
jeff. Davis in his extremity put his naval
affairs and ram parts under petticoat protec-
tion. ...
jeff Davis pursuers caught him or her and
ne or she caught it.

Gated in the first report that reached us, but
which VIC were very glad to be assured and to

has been thrown out by the aristocratic and
bieoted churchmen shall return to the Treasury
bench as the representative Of their looms and
anvils. We accept the translation as great
Liberal triumph. Otford's eagerness to place
herself on the path Of reaction only invites her
own regeneration. If she will make herself,
her scholarship, her piety and her great fame
an outwork Of aristocraey and tyranny, then the
OutwOrk must be taken. There can be but one
end to all these strfes, and that is the regenera-
ton of England, the enlargement Of her fran
chse, the proper division of her lands, the sepa-
ration of Church from State, manhood suffrage.
The fable that, because royalty is q divine right
people must be kept in poverty to allow i'm
mensc revenues to certain lazy gentlemen called
princes, dukes and bishops, must be disbelieved.
The Liberals of England aim at this consumma-
ton. They may not assert it now, but it Is
their destiny. In 1860, the Liberals OF America
were satisfied that Slavery should not extend be-
yond certain ATTITUDES; in 1862, it demanded its
death. The war hurried up our education, and
it has done the same work in educating England.
We do not think that the sword will be required
to establish justice across the ocean, for Grant
and Sherman have done that part of the work
thoroughly; but justice will most certainly DC
established. Oxford may stand up and oppose
its progress, but Lancashire is not TO be fright
ened by schoolmen and aristocrats. Manhood
may be oppressed by forms and customs, but in
the end it will triumph. And as the beginning
of this triumph VIC regard Mr.. Gladstone'S de-

JEFF. DAVIS.
Notwithstanding the various stories set ahoat
in regard to the illtreatment OF JEFF Davis 1t is but
Just to the authorities to state positively that be is
treated with the consideration due noted prisoner Of
state by the Conmandant at Fortress Monroe. No
officer has been or is stationed In his cell; he Is
allowed to take frequent walks on the ram
parts and Is permitted 10 choose his own food.
The.sres that his cell is guarded by score or more OF
bayones, that in his promenades he Is attended by
battalion OF soldiers and that his diet is limited to the
army ration are as ridiculous they are untrue The
treatment Of j. ID. Is Christan.like and humane and
lust such as generous and dignifed Government can
well afford to bosiow upoa one who Is no longer Its
enemy. but its prisoner.
SINGULAR ORDER.
General Order No. 100. from the War De-
partment, assigning over 100 volunteer officers to
mands, Is exciting universal comment and the question
naturally arises, "How is it possible in view of the
steral reduction OF the army to give the Generals
specied In tho order the command Of regiment
and. even If this be practicable. whence arises
the necessity for the enormous expense at
tendant upon their empIoymeatr' Before the
war our yearly expense for the payment of general
officers was only about twenty thousand; whereas,
1t will now be. including the payment Of staff officers at
least o. OO0 increase Of sl $4,000 over that
formerly expended for the purpose. Many OF the
Departments TO which from four to eight Major ana
Brevet Major. Generals have been assigned. contain
but few regiments, and overy ono Is looking out win
considerable curiosity the disposition by tho De
partment commanders Of the officers upon whom tne
War Department expects them to confer important
commands.
