Gen. Wilson's i ctter 10 Governor
Brown. wa.

New YORK, May 24.-General Wilson, in
letter to Governor Brown, who had COM
planned of the collapse of the currency and
great scarcity of provisions among the peo-
pie, says: He is instructed by the Presi-
dent to say to him that these evils were
caused by treason, insurrection and rebel
: lion against the laws of the United States,
melted and carried on for the last four
years by you and your confederate rebels
and traitors, who alone are responsible for
all the waste, destitution and want now eX-
isting in that State, and what you call the
result which the fortunes of war have i'm
posed upon the people of Georgia; and all
the loss and woe they have suffered are
charged upon you and yoilr confederate
rebels, who, usurping authority, provoked
war to the extremity until compelled to lay
down your arms and accept the just penalty
of the crimes of treason and rebellion; that
the restoration of peace and order cannot
be entrusted to rebels and traitors; that the
persons who melted the war and carried it
on will not be allowed to assemble at the
call of their accomplice, to act again as a
Legislature of the State and again usurp its
authority and franchise. % Men who have
caused so much woe will not be allowed
power again to set on foot fresh acts of tea
son and rebellion. In calling the Legisla-
ture together again without permission of
the President, you have perpetrated a fresh
crime, that will be dealt with accordingly,
and if any person presumes to answer or
acknowledge your call he will beat once
arrested. n .rfU I..a.t iaQ nolaO .r5ar

CIRcLEvILLE, Feb. 10th, 1865.


The Warm Air Furnace invented and
manufactured by Mr.. Peter Martin, of Gin
cihnati,A was' put into the Union school
building OF this city in November last, and
thus far itohas given entire satisfaction. 1t
surpasses other furnaces In the following
important particulars: 1t has, compare
lively, a greater heating surface; produces
aIlarger volume of heat with given amount
of fuel; the condition of the air in respect
to temperature, moisture and purity, is su41
perior; the admission of cold air, the sup.
ply of warm air for the several rooms, and
the fires, are more easily Regulated G'-A
To avoid scorching and decomposing the
air. asis done, to some extent, by other hot
air furiacesj and to secure to'each room an
abundant supply Of pure, fresh air. warmed
to apleasant temperature, as well as to pro-
tect the wrought-iron air-fues from
the effects of the fire, it is essential that
the warm air-fues leading to the school
rooms, should rhe aty least twelve
inches in diameter. This will insure the
influx of such large and rapid currento OF
fresh air as to prevent theowrought-iro
iues from being overheated, , and thus secure
the durability of the furnaces and keep the
warm air in a healthful condition. .qIt is,
deemed properto State in this connection,
that our Board of Educationnwas induced
to,order Mr.. Martins Furnace. because two,
other furnaces had been previously used in
our school edifce without satisfactory re-
suits, and because, after careful examina-,
tion a large number, OF furnaces and

but alsoin Eastern cities, Mr.. Martins was

New York, May 24.-The Herald's cor
respondent says The camp where JEFF.
Davis was captured was situated in pine
forrest on the side of the Abbeyville road,
about one mile from Irwinsville, Irwin
county, Georgia. 1t consisted of a large
wall tent, Containing only the arbitrator
and his family. and an ordinary fly, con-
tanning the male portion of the caravan.-
Surrounding and contiguous to these were
two common army wagons, two ambu-
lances and several horses and mules, with
the usual amount OF camp paraphernalia,
such as saddles, brides, harness, cooking
utensils, &c. Davis himself and Postmas-
ter Regan, with the two Coils. Lubbock and
johnson, aid de camps, had only overtaken
the party the night before, after fatiguing
journey from Washington, Georgia, where
they had remained to settle some business,
as they say, while Mrs. Davis with the
train and servants had pushed forward un-
der the protection and escort of Private Sec
retary Harrison and a few of the watchful,
such as Lieutenant Hathaway, Midshipman
Howell, and about twenty servants and
soldiers. 1t was probably at or very
near Washington where Davis dismissed
his escort and divided the spoils, under the
most pressing circumstances. Some OF
Stoneman's cavalry were hard upon him,
and he concluded to deceive them by let
ting them follow the body of cavalry, while
he and his friends travelled in cog across the
country and Joined his family.
When Regan asked permission to accom-
pany Davis to Washington, and expressed
his objections on receiving'it, Gen. Wilson
said to him, tYou are under no obligations
sir, for should have sent you whether you
wanted to go or not. You are civilian

/ A COLUMBUS GIRL q. IN SOLDIERS
CLoTHEs.-The local Of The Cincinnati En-
qlirer states that while he was in the May
or's office in that city on Tuesday morning,
the clerk to the Mayoralty was called upon
bya young girl apparently not more than
seventeen or eighteen years of age, appar-
eled in soldiers clothes, praying for relief
The Cincinnati local continues his account
thus:
Her story was, that about a week or ten
days ago, she had been inveigled away from
her home in Columbus by soldier, with
whom she had been acquainted for long
time, who persuaded her away with false
and magnificent promises. She says the
reason she left home and came down here
was that the aforesaid soldier promised to
marry her, and dress her up when they ar
rived in our city. But she says that soon
after they reached here, the soldier gave her
the slip, and left her to take care of herself
as best she could, which was three or four
days ago, since which time she has been
wandering about the city, subsisting upon
the charities OF the public, and sleeping
wherever she could find place to lie down.
The Secretary, by the advice of the Mayor,
sent the poor unfortunate to.the Home OF
the Friendless, with a request that she
might be furnished with clothing in ac-
cordance. with her sex, where she was sub
sequently furnished pass, from the same
benevolent source, to Columbus, where she
will meet her friends, The girl, with an
honest -heartedness peculiar to the female
sex, refused to give the name of her seduc-
er, and, tor the sake of the reputation Of
the lady, we refrain from giving her name
to the public.
