since, to perform ministerial duty-at-
tending to the sicl, and wounded in the
hospitals, encountered a stranger who ae-
costed lin thus: My friend, can you tell
me if Mrs. Jeif. Davis is in the city Of Au-
gusta?"
No sir" replied my friend, ''she is
not"
"Well, sir," replied the stranger, you
may be surprised at my asking such a
question; and more particularly SO, when

Kindness to ME which l can never forget.

The Record, a Republican paper pul

The Record, Republican paper pub
lished in Fayetta county, Iowa. says:
at is the opinion of many earnest pa
triots, who have always acted with the
party of freedom and progress, and have
been and are ardent supporters of the Re
publican administration u national affairs
that the Republican party Of Iowa is fast
becoming corrupt IS he'll, and deserves to
be damned"
We don't think that sad condition of af-
fair is confined alone to the party of Iowa.
The party in other states can claim very
intimate and close relationship with that
of Iowa, judging from the family resem-
blance.

THE ofcdfr2fe Dc6f.

The proposition is agitatcl in some Of
the loyal papers that the United States
assume the debt of the late Confederate
Government. The suggestion is amoug
the most absu rd that conld enter a crazy
brain. The people Of the United States
are already burdcned with debt quite as
heavy as they feel willing to boar, and no
rational man would consent to the assump-
fion Of the debt of the exploded Confeder-
acy. All the talk ON the subject comes
from loyal elitors, who adopt the theory
that "a public debt is public blessing =
and although they affect hostility to the
proposition just now, one cannot tell where
they may finally land-[Ft. Wayne

The most sicnIfi,an testimp my yet giv-
ea to the ettec Of thy war in opening the
eyes &C rultitules of northern men in re-
spect to the character and capacities Of the
negro race, is the fact that Gen Cox, the
Abolition candidate for Governor OF Ohio,
who was brought up in the negro-loying
community Of Obcrlin having been forced
to define his views Oh the question Of ne
er0 seEFrace, has taken strong ground
against Il IN 2 letter which frankly de
cIEFss that his experience in The army
changed or greatly modified many Of his
previous views Of the '.negro question. =
The TriLuae berates him for expressing
such IDEAS, ana openly says his majority
would have been much larger if he had
said nothing.

THE AMERICAN LUCREfIA BORGlA.-
Further investigation into the Grinder
poisoning case at Pittsburg, developed
the fact that several more persons were
poisoned by Mrs Grinder than WAS at
first supposed A day or two since an
other body was taken from the grave,
and upon examination the stomach was
found to contain poison The bodies OF
other persons who are supposed to have
been poisoned by Mrs Grinder will soon
be taken from the grave. Mrs. Grinder
's at present confined in Jail. awaiting H..
rial. The facts already developed are
sufficient to brand her as the most infa-
NOUS wretch that ever existed. BY her
pretended piety and kindness, she sue
ceeded in rendering herself popular
among the sick of her neighborhooa' ana
while performing the duties OF goou
Samaritan, she rarely failed to introduce
into the food or medicine of the paticnta
subtle drug which slowly but surely eat
away the life of the victim. Aer object
could not have been 10 CRAFTY malice,
for il is a well known fact that several OF
the victims who fell by her hand were
utter strangers to her. and could not ny
any possibility have done anything to
excite her ire. Neither could the love OF
gain have been her reason. ~ nearly all
her subjects were poor.

LEFEERSON pAHIS.

Great curiosity is naturally felt North and South
to learn what has become of Jefferson Davis, the
head and front of the greatest rebellion the world
has yet seen. he vanished from Richmond under
cover of the night of April I'd ION the 5th be turn
ed up in Danvlle where he tarried just long enough
TO issue as a proclamation one of Mr.. Judah P.
Benjamin's lucubrations, and then again disap-
peared. Since that time there have been numer-
Gus conjectures as TO his fate. From Savannah,
UiG Baltimore, the report came to us that he had
reached Macon, Georgia, on the 10th inst. 1t &C.
Cured TO US he had made extraordinarily good
time between Danyile and that point, but not being
satisfied what feats Of fight man in his circum-
stances might not accomplish when fear lent wings
to his heels, we published the rumor without COM
ment. Subsequently, by adyices from Newbern,
n. c., Uio Washington, We heard that he was with
Johnston's army, at Hillsboro', the North Caro-
lima Railroad west OF Raleigh, on or about the 18th.
We credited this report at the time and have
now the means OF knowing that it correct, hav-
ing Just received, through trustworthy source

Carolina, which throws light upon Davis move.
ments and explains why he was not intercepted by
Stoneman, who, on the 18th, took Salisbury, which
is one hundred miles southwest Of Hisboro' by the
line Of the North Carolina Railroad.
Davis was at Hillsboro' from the 18th to the
18th instants He then went by rail to Greensboro,
whence, with an escort of two thousand picked
cavalry, selected from Hampton's and Wheeler's
commands, he started on horseback for the far
South, taking the country road due south to Ash
bore and Cheraw. By this route be left Salisbury
and Stoneman forty Mills to his right From Che
raw he probably struck southwest TO Columbia.

open before him until he reached the lines Of Gen.
erals Candy and Wilson. His one object now is to
escape 70 the Trans Mississippi and he cannot re
gard himself out Of extreme danger until he has
run The gauntlet OF the United States armies now
operating in Alabama. These two thousand horse
men form to-day gloomy cavalcade as they toll
along the southern sandy roads under southern
SIN. Perhaps they are cheered by the feeling that
they bear Caesar and his fortunes; they certainly
cover al that is left OF the so-called Confederate
Government, and>themselyes compose, the only or

Mississippi river. Davis, B-eckinridqe Trenholm,
