The 'PR1soNERs OF SrArE.-The
Springfield Republican says
The classmates where Davis and
Clay are confined in Fortress Monroe
are delightfully."- cool in the hottest
days. The prisoners are allowed no
books except the Bible and Episcopal
prayer.book, no newspapers, no pen
and ink, and have literally nothing
TO do. Clay smokes necessarily.
Davis tries to engage the guards in
conversation, but does not succeed
much, as that's prohibited. AS these
deprivations add nothing to the Sc
eurity Of, the prisoners, it is difficult
to understand them. It is not com
mon to punish the worst criminals in
advance of trial. IfMr. Stanton had
even relaxed his rigor so far as to
permit the wives Of Davis and Clay
to reside near BY and visit them occa.
sionally, il would not have been an
extraordinary stretch Of clepency. A
great and powerful Nation iced NOT
be more cowardly in such matters
than q petty European .desnot.

THE ASSISTANT SECRETARIES
OF THE TREASURY.

A paragraph appeared in a morning print
of small influence and limited circulation,
which contains more malice than truth about
the, Assistant Secretaries Of the Treasury.
We announced somo days since that Mr..
CHANDLER had taken Mr.. HARRINGToN's 8
room, and that Mr.. HARTLEY has taken Mr..
FIELDS room. So far, and only SO far, is
thoro any succession.
On tho LIST Of July last, in accordance with
IN act of the last Congress, the two Offices Of
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury were
put upon an equal footing. Previously the
salary of the nrst was $4,000, and that of
the second 81, 900. Tho act referred to pro.
vides that tho salary of each shall be SO, 800.
Without reference to tho resignation Of
Messrs. HARRNGroS and FIELD, the duties
of the two Offices were necessarily reorgan
lied. On entering upon them tho business
was distributed about as follows:
Mr.. CHANDLER will perform so much o
the duties heretofore executed by Mr.. HAR
RINGroS as relates to tho finances, loans, ap
pointments, and money matters generally
including vast amount Of miscellaneon
business not connected with commerce.
Mr.. HARTLEY, whose speciality, as chic

ion Of tariff and all subjects relating thereto
aud the internal revenue, will continue /,
perform those duties In tho higher capacit,

The following high compliment to the

of a morning paper. The italics arc ours.
The writer says
They are confined at their desks from
nine O'Clock in the morning until three o,
four in the afternoon but in the evening
they have absolutely nothing to do. A grea
m1Ny spend their time in lOaling about bar
rooms, billiard-rooms, and theatrical shows
Others hang about the Department building
and occupy their minds and thoughts tciih

their evenings in the society Of ladies, and In
making periodical calls on their acquAint

We think, nt least, that the writer nigh
have excepted the ladies, who constitute ,
large proportion of the Department clerks
from his category Of loafers, intriguers, gos
sipers, and slanderers.
WO recommend to the ladies and gentlemen
constituting the " Department clerks" of thi
city to hold a mass meeting and pass rosolu
tions Of thanks to tho author of the compli
mentary paragraph quoted above. 1t is
precious morsOl to go over tho land, anon

The Baltimore Conference In Virginia.
meeting of the preachers and members
of the baltimore Conference, adhering to the
platform Of principles adopted at session of
that body in StauntOn, in March, 1861, was
held at tho Wesleyan Female Institute, in
Staunton, on the Goth ultimo. A paper was
adopted, from which we take the following:
ave still have the same powers and privi-
leges as q conference that we claimed in our
session in Staunton in 1851, and the obliga.
tion to maintain our identity and to extend
our usefulness in accordance with those
principles there avOwed is as binding now as
then. We look forward with great pleasure
to the next session Of our conference as n
period when brethren in tho ministry and
laity, long separated, shall meet together to
unite their friendly counsels for the general
interests of MethOdism throughout our
bounds.
"a cordial invitation hns been forwarded
to us from churches in Baltimore, still ad-
herring to us, to hold the next session of con
ference in that city. We hail this invitation
with great delight and while we abatc not
our high esteem of tho church and people of
Blacksburg, whose kind invitation we ac.
copied last March, yet, in view of many cir
cumstances bearing especially upon the in
terests Of our general work, II may be deemed
most proper by the presiding elders to whom
the conference accorded the power of change
to Indicate Baltimore as the place for our
next conference session; and II so, due notice
will he given. In favor of that change this
meeting would give its most earnest recon-
mendation 1t is our purpose, as preachers
and people, to be 'law-Rbiding'- submitting
to the powers that be'-labOring to promote
the peaco and prosperity of the land"
