news from Wilmington was Immediately felt at Rich

The CAPTURE OF JHYP. DAvIs.-The
Philadelphia hqaIer has the following
from Washington:
The female attiferin which JEFF. Davis
hoped to escape was brought here to-day
BY Col. Pritchard, of the Fourth Michigan
Cavalry, who captured the arch traitor.
It consists of a large i~ron-grey, water
proof tweed cloak, with belt to confne it
around the waste, and somewhat worn ; a
black shawl, with scroll-work border,
which was thrown over Davis head and
drawn up over his whiskers, nearly con-
cealing his features. In this attire, and
with q tin water.pail in his hands, the
would-be dictator sought to sneak away,
when his boots betrayed him, and he was
bagged. Mrs. Davis was permitted to
wear her cloak on. the steamer, but had to
give it up on reaching Fortress Monroe,
much against her will. Mrs. G.. g. Clay
counseled resistance, even if the Yankees
shed blood; but Mrs. Davis had the good
sense to surrender the disguise when she
found that she must do so. After Colonel
Pritchard had exhibited this feminine cos
tune to the Secretary Of War, Senators
Foote and Wilson, and Governor Fenton
and other gentlemen who happened to be
at the War Department, it was sent to
Gardner, the photographer. He found q
man about the size and build OF JET. Da-
Wis, and having FIRST seen that he had on
a pair Of high boots. he put on the cloak
and shawl, and giving him 9 water-pail,
obtained a good photograph of the appear
ance of the fugitive President Of the burst
up Confederacy.

FOURTH OF JULY!


This Great National Holiday bids fair
to be most s~plendidly celebrated next
Tuesday in Gold Hill and Virginia-the
two cities joining together in having a
grand time. The different committees
having charge OF the arrangements are
using every exertion to render the occa-
sion worthy of our communities. The
Carsonites, Daytonites, the Reese River
ties, and we believe nearly every village
and hamlet in the State will have its glo-
r:ous Fourth Of July Anniversary. Let
the bully old STARS and STRIPES hang up
and float in the brcezes of heaven wher-
ever an American lives.
