A GLIMPSE AT JEFF DAvIs.-The

Philadelphia Inquirer writes under date OF

"Quite a little futter of excitement

on the gray clad figure, which was the OBJ

Major General Miles was a little in adj

guard for the day was at Jeff's side, and
two armed soldiers followed. Davis seat

the rampant, and gazed inward, to the dis

anxious for distant glimpse of his tea-

twenty minutes patient gazing, the crowd

TAXATION OF L. 5. BONDS BY STATES.
We have received communication on
this sub ect, which we decline to print ;
not because the question is not one of
great public interest and Importance, but
simply because discussion would be entire
ly proftless until one essential point has
been settled by the United States courts
that is, the po,cer of the atae to tar. Con-
necticut and New Hampshire have at
tempted to tax SO the question will be
raised and in due time decided. Until
that decision shall have been made, we be-
lieve it will be unwise to act in Vermont ::
and our belief is decided, because we have
very strong suspicion that the court will
deny the power, and therefore that pre-
mature action will lead only to useless and
expensive litigation, resulting in defeat to
the IVahoa's Daily.

boat and arrives in Norwich at LOO a. H..
in season to connect with the Norwich and
Worcester express train to Boston, was
thrown from the track by the breaking of

thrown from the track. three of them being
precipated down Il steep embankment of
ten Or twelve feet into the Thames river

shallow. the tide being out, or many pas
sengers would have been drowned, but the

HORRID RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

One of the most serious and fatal rail-
road accidents that has occurred upon any
New England road for long time, took
place Tuesday, ON the Housatonic railroad
near Bridgeport, Ct. Six persons were
killed outright, three others soon died Of
their injuries, and a large number of 9th
erS were injured more or less severely. A
passenger train that had been impeded in
its course by disabled freight train, and
attached itself to the disabled train, and
was trying to get back to Bridgeport with
its encumbrance A new locomotive was
coming up the road from Bridgeport on a
trial trip, and seeing no flag or signal of
any kind, and being unable to see the APP
preaching train, in consequence OF a curve
in the road, very naturally ran into that
train, and hence the long and sad array
of casualties

4AnOtHer Outrage.

As Mrs Elizabeth Bates, rasiding at
the corner Of Leverelt and Napier street,
Boston. was returning home from visit
at the South end, about 10 O'Clock Sum
day night, she was seized by four men at
10 Court street, gagged and hustled up
one flight of stairs and into a room, on
the floor of which were four mattresses
While the others held and gagged her,
four men, each in turn. outraged her per-
son. Onc OF the mattresses in the room
was occupied by 4 sick soldier, named
William Rtchdon, who was an unwilling
observer of thesdisgusting outrage. Mrs
Bates was detained till 2 O'Clock, and on
returning home, officers were put on the
track Of the villains, and arrested all of
them, Ritchdon being held as witness.
The rutlians are returned soldiers, who
give their names as Antoine. Van Weimer,
George W. Northedge, Patrick Shay and
John Dotard.
The prevalence of crimes of every kind,
especially Of the nature of the above, is
truly alarming, and calls for the severest
punishment upon the offenders, the greatest
caution on the part of the people, and the
utmost vigilance of the officers of Justice.
The Boston Journal says truly: '.It
makes tie blood chill in the veins to read
OF such an act as was perpetrated in
Court street on Sunday night, and one
cannot help wishing that the most sum-
mary justice. without waiting for the slow
process of law. could be dealt out to the
mi-creantS who committed the outrage.

ACCIDENT ON THE LAKES.

The steamers Meteor and Pewabic on
Lake Huron, ran into each other last
Wednesday evening, within six miles OF
the shore, and the latter vessel sunk in
three or four minutes. Nearly hundred
lives were lost. At the time the accident
occurred it was scarcely dark, and the
Pewabc bore off to pass; but the Meteor
turned in the same direction and struck
the Pewabic. A number of the passen-
gers on board the Pewabic were killed by
the crushing of the timber A few jump

The Cable Trouble.

We gave last week the telegram relative
to trouble with the Atlantic cable. After
nearly a weeks suspense information has
now been received at Hearts Content,
from the schooner First Fruit, that the
Atlantic telegraph cable parted on the I'd
and that the Great Eastern had bouyed it
up. This was learned from the Terrible,
one of the conveys of the Great Eastern,
on the 9th, but the captain of the Terri
ble did not know whether they would be
able to join the cable and proceed on the
voyage or not. The telegraphers at
Hearts Content are hopeful Of the success
Of the expedition yet.

renominated and resolutions unanimously
adopted congratulating the country on the
success of the national arms and the extir-

southern people should be kept under pro-

WeTtz, the Fe,ad.

This man who murdered so many I'm
ion prisoners at Andersonville, is to be
tried before a military commission, OF
Which Gen. Underwood is president and
Col. Chapman is judge advocate. About
100 witnesses have been subpenaed, and
by them as many individual cases of CRU
city are expected to be proved against the
accused. They will testify from personal
experience. The charge against him is
violation Of the laws of war, and the vari-
Gus cruelties committed upon our prison.
ers are set forth in five specifications, COW
ering the history so often given in the
newspapers. Every provision is made for
the defence of Wertz, and among the wit
nesses in his favor will be ex-Congressman
Alfred Ely Of New York, who states that
Wertz treated him with uniform Kindness
while a prisoner in the Libby. There is
a determination to punish Wertz and all
others found guilty Of the terrible outrages
upon our prisoners. The trial will be full
and protracted. One great object is to
bring ont all the facts and establish them
by undoubted evidence, and to ascertain
to what extent the leaders of the rebellion
were implicated i'll the diabolical outrage>
of the rebel prison pens. The revelations
of the Wertz trial are likely to tasten up
on the rebels degree of intamy eclipslng
entirely the guilt of their treason and re-
bellion, and it is important that the whole
truth should be established before the
world. The trial was to have commenced
Wednesday at Washington.
