The Honorable" Jefferson Davis.

If our reading was confined exclusively to
Southern journals, we should almost begin TO
doabt whether the " Confederacy" had not
r,umphed in the late war The tone of
these newspapers would certainly lead US to
believe that their people we're occupied in de-
vsiug measures to celebrate their victory over
the Federal forces.
We have before US a paper, published at
jackson, the capital of the State OF Mississippi
This reputable journal devotes considerable
space to urging the raising of fund of $780,
900, to provide a fortane for the - Honorable"
Jefferson Davis, that he may have nice little
SUN with which to start life anew. The chiv-
alric editor deems the services Of the " stern
statesman" emincntly deserving of this sub
siantial reward. Let US ask what these ser
vices are which 50 commend Jefferson Davis
to the people of the South Simply his inaug-
uration of wicked and gigantic Rebellion
against the National Government, his persis.
tent attempts to dismember the Union. his
merciess torturing to death of Union soldiers,
aud his wicked leadership in every enterprise
of treason.
AAd for these crimes he is deemed worthy
of muniiicent gift of halfa million of dollars,
anu - respectfully uuooed as the - aonora-
ble' Jefferson Davis Out upon such traitor
Gus sycophancy. Let US have the frankness
to call things by their right names, and let
Us know what is going on in the South. If
that section is to once more rule in our
national councils and again to domineer over
our loyal people let it be 50 understood; but
so long as we are unwilling to accept such
state of affairs, let US put down all sucl, trea-
sonable projects. and demonstrate that Gov
ernment whose power cannot be destroyed by
open force, is too strong to be demolished by
the more insidous but equally dangerous at
tacks Of secret foes - PhiM. Enquirer.

which they were attached. This is the fourth
time that flags have been presented, which
were taken by Sheridan's command. 4A
In accordance with the request of Gen.

HUMBUeERY ExPosED.-The wonderful"
spiritual manifestations Of the "boy medium"
Master Henry B. Allen, Sin charge OF Dr.J.
q. Randall of Boston," were brought to sad
end last evening by the impairment curiosity
and wicked doings of some of the gentlemen
present at the "seance" at Congress Hail.
AS usual one of the company present was
selected to sit at the side of the boy and al
low his hand and arm to be held by both hands
of the boy while the manifestations" were
going on. The boy seized hold of the gentle
mans wrist with his left hand and his shoulder,
or near it with the right hand. The manifes-
tations then began, and among them was one
trick of pulling the gentleman's hair. I'm
mediately after this trick was performed the
hand of the boy was discovered to be very
black-from lamp black, Of the best quality
with which the gentleman had dressed his
head on purpose to detect whose was the
spirit hand that pulled his hair. His shirt
sleeve upon which the boy Immediately re-
placed his hand after pulling his hair, was also
black where the hand had been placed. The
gentleman stated the facts to the company
present and the "seance" broke up. Dr. Ran-
dali refunded the so cents admission fee to
those present. ~
The boy is Vermonter, and it took Yer
monter to detect his tricks.

MOVING MAoHINE.-We have examined q
new one horse moving machine of the Knif-
fen patent, and should judge that it will soon
be in general use by New England farmers
1t possesses many and great advantages over
those that have been in use. 1t is thorough
one horse machine, the draft being one-half
less than that of the two horse machines-has
fewer bars and bolts and is less liable to get
out oforder. The action of the wheels work
ing the scythe, is direct and a straight action );
the pitman is protected by socket, which
prevents the liability of bending or breaking
that there is in other machines; the driver
has greater control over the finger bar, either
while walking or riding; it is more simple
than other machines, more portable, can be
driven with greater ease and will operate Oh
rough ground and pass high obstacles.

Gen. Sheridan's troops are in the very best
condition, and appear to have suffered little or
nothing from the effects of their long march
from Winchester.
About 300 rebel prisoners are at White
House, together with some 5000 negroea who
followed our troops as they passed through
the country. .sIle seN
large number of prisoners were captured
during the raid; but owing to the rapidity of
Sheridan's movements many of them had to
be abandoned, and others made their escape
owing to the relapsed vigilance of the guards,
who were glad to get rid of them.
The entire cavaly force has crossed to the
South bank OF the Pamunky river, and are
now engaged in recruiting preparatory to new
movements. ssga4 sd ssaas3sa5 71s Bsis- a. sel
