1t turns out, as we supposed it would,
that the too quickly adopted story, by the
war department, TO the effect that Major
General Sherman had ordered the with
drawal Of Ge7e 7eral Stoneman and his
troops from a village in North Carolina,
the effect cf which was TO aid the escape
of Jefferson Davis, was a sheer ftbrica
ton. General Stoneman, it is now
known, is in East Tennessee lie recoiv-
ed no orders whatever from Sherman, and
the statement OF Stanton, by telegraph,
that Sherman ordered him to Withdraw
from the rear Of the rebel army on the
signing of truce with General 10! nston,
had Lo foundation in fact. Ye: there
were thousands who gave it CT edence, aud

Whereabouts of jeff. Davis.

A despatch from Raleigh, N. c., states
that jeff Davis passed through Charlotte
on the 22I ult, and it is believed has
gone to Augusta. Hs was accompanied
by an escort of not less than division Of
Wheeler's cavalry. Before leaving
Greensboro, Davis ordered some Of Whee-
leg's men, and many officers in other
commands to be paid the amounts due
them in COLL About $50, 900 was thus
paid out. he keeps the rest for the SER
vice of The rebel cause, which he looks
upon as not vet lost. He remained with
the army until the truce had expired.
Another report from the same quarter
says that among the loyal natives i. is
generally expected that Davis will break
for one of the numerous inlets on the
North Carolina coast, where fast steamer
Of light draught can enter, and thence
bear him and his treasure TO a friendly
shore. Army officers concur in this op,
inion.

The State Census.

The following advice from the Appleton
Crescent will be very applicable to the
Town Clerks of this county:
TIE State Census is to be taken by
Town Clerks. lnasmuch as nearly the en-
tire arms-bearing population, Of this and
other Counties in North Eastern Wiscon-
SIN, is now in the army, We desire TO i'm
press upon Town Clerks the necessity Of
using every effort TO make the enumera>
hon as perfect as possible. Let every cit
izen furnish all the information in his pos
session, or the census Will be defective,
and he towns will not be credited with
their rea! population
1t is no. difficult to obtain the name of
every man who has gone 10 the army
from any town in the County aud the
names Of those who are fallen are also
known. No man loses bis residence by
being in he army. Bear that in mind.
Take extra pains to get good census.
Upon this census, uew apportiohment
Of men bers of the State Senate and AS
sembly is to be made next Winter; and
the County Supervisor districts are to be
re arranged this Summer or Fall.
Give us correct enumeratic1.

THE Assassination AND THE RICHNoHD
REBELS Geo Alfred Townsend publishes
in the New York World of " ednesdav
many new details concerning the plot for
assassinating the president. AS to the al
legation that the plot was concocted at
Richmond, he says:
am certain tha: Booths projec, was
unknown in Richmond. No word, no
written line, no clue of any Sort has been
found attaching Booth to the confederate
authorities. The most that car be urged
to meet prepcsterous claims ofthis sort is
that out of the rebellion grew the murder
which is like atsributing the measles to
the creation Of man.

MExIco.-Presiden Juarez OF Mexico,
is reported as having issued letters of
Marque and reprisal against the French
commerce. This is doubtless expected TO
call into active operations, large fleet of
rrlvateers, thrown out of employment by
the close Of our war. In this connection,
it will be noticed, that numerous para
graphs are finding their way into the pa
pers, stating that our officers and men are
going to Mexico in great numbers as emf
