Madeira BY shs stsansF Laurel, As@ Lissspsell
from Which vessel, /, Is supposed that she received
portion OF her crew and armament. A number OF
the men, finding that the Shenandoah was going to
be Confederate, cruiser, refused to join her. and
were sent back to Liverpool in the West African
mail steamer. They reported most positively that
Capt. Semmes of the Alabama was the commander
oi the Shenandoah but they were evidently misin-
formed, as Capt Semmes is now IN the Confederate
States. Shortly after this it reported that the
Shenandoah had been lost near Madeira; but tins
report set a6at in the Gibraltar Chronicle, was eyl

our Liverpool correspondents who, from private Ia
formation, had reason To believe that the SHENANDOAH
would soon Ice heard of IN the scene OF her recent
exploits.

There was an immense crowd of people
in Washington who cheered and waved or
the battle-scarred veterans. 8: Perley -
speaks of the review of the army of the
Potomac on Tuesday as follows:
"On its first parades along the avenue
In 1861 its ranks were fuller, its uniforms
were tresher, and its banners were bright
cr, but the survivors, greeted with cheers
to-day, battle-Scarred and weath,r-bronz-
ed, have bravely stood as bulwark be-
tween Washington and the rebels. and
have driven back the insolent foe until
their own sham capital fell. Who won
ders that loyal voices cheer, and that 10y
al hands applaud, as the heroic guardians
of the national ark of constitutional liber-
ty pass along! Neither did the legions
of imperial Rome, returning in triumph
along the Appian Way, Or the conquering
hosts of Napoleon the Great, when vel
coined back from their Italian campaign
by the Parisians, or the British Guards.
when they returned from the Crimea, re-
ceive more heartfelt ovation than is to-
day being awarded to the army of the

had declared war upon the United States
by ordering the state militia to seize the
arsenal at Harper's Ferry, without 4 shad-
ow of authority from the people .and at
ter the rebel congress had left Montgomery
and stopped at Richmond-onlv for few
days, as the leaders then thought, as they
confidently expected to set up their gov
eminent in Washington, and were only
then delaying until COL Robert f. Lee
had driven the Yankees out-Jetf. Davis.
the president of the traitor hordes was
welcomed at Richmond, as one writer
said, "with burst of genuine Joy and
enthusiasm to which none of the military
pageants of the North could furnish par
allcl." AT this time jeff: Davis, in re-
spouse to call from the populace, made
a speech, in which were these words:
"When the time and occasion serve.
we shall smitc the smiter with manly arms,
as did our fathers before us, and as be-
comes their sons. To the enema ave lea,p the
base acts OF tue ASSASSIN and mcendauy; to
them we leave it to insult helpless women;
to us belongs vengeance upon men,
In the light Of the experience of the
four years war since intervening and
more especially of the testimony elected
at the trial now going on at Washington,
showing conclusivcIy that this great vii
lain not only allowed but actually con-
spired to starvc Union prisoners, burn
Northern cities and vessels and assaSSinate
the heads of our government, the above
assertion of this arch traitor and murderer
is very refreshing.
