He is very agreeable in conversation, and

1t has been decided by the authorities
at Washington, that in the reconstruction
of the Rebel States, the Rebel executive
legislative and judicial authorities of those
States shall be entirely ignored. Loyal
officers are to be elected and appointed
in their stead. All persons offering to
vote, will first be required to take the
oath of allegiance to the United States
Government. President johnson, is un-
derstood to sanction this programme,
which affords the only safe plan of re-
construction. To allow the Rebels to
rule would be in effect to continue the
prescription of the Union men of the
South.

A House for Jefferson Davis in Liverpool

TO the Editor Of the SaOannah Herald.
Now that everything regarding the move
ments of Jeff. Davis has peculiar in
terest, have thought it well to give to
the public, through the columns of your
valuable paper, a fact which came to my
personal knowledge bearing upon the
subject,
When I was in Liverpool, England,
now about year ago, there had just been
completed splendid brick mans on in
one of the most fashionable squares OF
the city, which was generally known and
talked of as having been erected from the
proceeds of the Confederate loan, and as
being intended for the future residence
of Jefferson Davis, in the event of circum-
stances forcing him to leave the country.
During my stay in Liverpool, the wind
ows of the house remained painted white,
which, according to the custom in that
city, indicated that the house had been
engaged and waiting for its occupant-a
circumstance which gave plausibillty to
the town-talk of its being the sometime
residence of the fugitive President of the
Southern Conlederacy..

JEFF Davis, Alexander II. Stephens, G.
G. Clay, Confederate Postmaster General
Reagan, and Maj. Gen. Wheeler, the
Confederate hero, who so often, on paper,
whipped Gen. Fitzpatrick, on the great
march from Atlanta to Savannah, are at
Fortress Monroe, Va, where they will be
held as prisoners, until they are needed
for trial, at Washington. The work of
turning the classmates into cells for the
safe keeping of the prisoners is nearly
completed; workmen having been en-
ployed upon them both night and day
An interesting, and full account of the
capture will be found in another column.

QUESTIONS.

Soon the minds of many fill.
Think ye, tits when will war cease,
And our land enjoy sweet peace!
Will Old England brave the whip ---

BY interfering 'gainst the powers
OF "Might and Right" which still are ours!
Will willy Nap-of hoodwinked France,
Against justice dare to hurl lance!
Will oil stock remain at par?
Or, will some freak of future mar
The greaseful projects of the many,
Counting largely, on the golden penny!

s-A fr;ond informed ms a few day

aWA friend informed US, few days
ago, that he recently met Mr.. George La
bar, of Middle Smithfeld township, with
maui aud wedges in hand, on his way to
the woods to split rails. Mr. Labar has
reached the ripe old age of 102 years, yet
he labors with a will, has good appetite,
retains all his faculties to remarkable
degree, and has more vim about him than
many modern genius of fifty. 1t is not
a great while ago that he went to see a
friend, who lives some five miles from his
residence, and returned home the same
day, performing the journey to and from
on foot. He bids fair TO live some years
yet.

Ayers Pills.

Are you sick, feeble and complaining =
Are you out of order with your system de-
ranged and your feelings uncomfortable p
These symptoms are often the prelude to Sc
rous illness. Some fit of sickness is Creep
ing upon you, and should be averted by
timely use of the right remedy. Take Ayers
Pills, and cleanse out the disordered humors
purify the blood, and let the fluids move on
unobstructed in health again. They stimu-
late the functions Of the body into vigorous
activity, purify the system from the obstruc-
tions which makes disease. A cold settles
somewhere in the body, and deranges its nat
ural functions. These, if not relieved, react
upon themselves and the surrounding organs
producing general ageravations, suffering
and arrangement. While in' this condition,
take Ayers Pills, and see how directly they
restore the natural action of the system, and
with it the buoyant feeling of health
again. What is true and so apparent in
this trivial and common complaint is also
true in many of the deep seated and danger.

expels them. Caused by similar distractions

A Sensible Speech by Whipped Rebel.

A meeting of Southern people," de
scribed as "old residents of West Tennes-
see, Arkansas and Mississippi" was held
in Memphis on the afternoon of the lst
There were abouta thousand persons pres
ent, about two-thirds Of whom were from
places outside our army lines, and man y
of them original secessionists. Judge J
T. Swayze presided, and made an able
speech, admitting the complete failure OF
the rebellion, urging that property in the
negro must cease, and that it was the du-
ty of the people to accept the result which
their own folly has brought upon them
Col Grace Of Arkansas, followed in a
speech, in which he said:
Fellow citizens: / am the man who
drew up the ordinance Of secession in the
Legislature of Arkansas | have been
iu the field fighting against the Union for
nearly four years, but now | am a con.
quered and whipped man. As | was gal
liant in going out to fight, I now propose
to be gallant at surrendering, and submit
ting to the arms Of the government that
we cannot whip. l have no contempt
for Federal authority now, if ever had
do not think there is manly bosom in
the South but that has niger respect for
Northern gallantry than when we went into
the fight. The authorities tells US to come
back and reconstruct the Union, that they
will give US honorable terms Do you
not think that people as brave as the
North are, that they are going to risk
their reputation in war to turn around af-
ter we have dispersed our armies and
give anything but honorable terms? 1t
is our duty to repent and go back to this
great national church-repent, get abso-
luton, and be baptized afresh. | know
we will receive honorable and Just terms.
When had an interview with the Presi-
dent his heart seemed to be oyerfowing
with love toward the Southern people.-
We first went ont of the Union and threw
down the gage of battle, and the North
picked 1T up; we fred the first gun, and
took the first fort-Fort Sumter-which
was taken back few days ago. The
North seemed unwilling to fight they
did not think we would fight. and SO we
thought of them, but TO our sorrow. we
have found out different; they seemed to
spring up like mushrooms from all parts
Of the earth. Before this war never
saw Federal officer, hardly. / never
felt the slightest oppression of the FEEDER
al Government; in fact, never thought
VIC had one until went out to fight; then
L found we did have government.
Resolutions were adopted, declaring it
TO be the duty aud interest of Southern
men to retarn to their allegiance, and
that the United States ought to be mag
nanimous to forgive as she is powerful to
sunish.

JEFF. DAVIS.

INCIDENTS OF HIS CAPTURE.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1865-05-06
Hon. Bent a M in G.. Harris,

The trial of Hon. Benz. G. Harris, of
St. Mary's county," Democratic Repre-
sentative in Congress from this State, is pro-
crossing in Washington. The charge against
him is violating the articles of war, in har-
boring and succoring the enemy, etc. The
witnesses against him are paroled Sergeant
and private of the Rebel army. Harris
objected to their testimony on the ground
that the witnesses were guilty of treason, and
therefore being enemies of the country could
not testify against him, citizen. The
Judge Advocate then proposed to prove by
Mr. Harris neighbors that he himself was as
disloyal as the witnesses to whom he object
ed and with them a mutual enemy of the
United States, and consequently not privil
eyed to make exception to their testimony.
Harris discussed t he point, claiming that
treason only was mentioned in the Constitu-
ton, that disloyalty was not defined by law,
and as sentiment was not punishable.
There is good prospect of justice overta-
king this traitor.
