JEFF Davis in PettlcOat Is.

How CRAFTY ing it must be to the large
class of female traitors, that Jefferson has
paid them so great compliment, by wear
ing crinoline in his fight for the last ditch.
This must be what they call southern chiv-
airy; and they will exclaim, 0 how NOBLE.
high-spirited, and magnanmous it VS. i
What grand and sublime spectacle he must
have exhibited And then his dear wife,
how sell-sacrifcng she must have been and
how chivalrous to even part with her own
garments for southern rights. 1t will have
place in history. In the next issue of south
ern fashion plates we shall probably see
short dresses and long boots. 1t must have
been grand, indeed, to have seen Jefferson
at the break of day, streaking for the woods
in short petticoats and long boots, trying to
save the country and fire the southern heart,
without ever thinking of his own safety
The young girls that famed him so lovingly
on his first trip to Richmond, would have
been of some service in the heat of his grand
flight, if they could have kept within tanning
distance, but perhaps it was not proper
time for ceremony, the good of the country
being at stake.
When Jefferson arrives at Washington, he
will have the kind sympathy of Mrs. Surratt,
and if they have the subject of botany un.
der consideration, they may discuss the com.
pressing qualities of a fibrous vegetable that
in former times has been considered very
useful in cases of treason.

Maryland Traitors to be Indicted
and Tried.

On Monday last, Judge Bond of the Grim.
inal Court of Baltimore city, charged the
Grand jury to indct for Treason, under the
State Treason Act, all persons who partc-
pated in the riots of the 10Th of April, 1861,
and all others who have since left the State
and engaged in the Rebellion, or who have
been engaged in burning bridges or destroy
ing railroad trains. or who were in any way
engaged in the raids into the State. The
Judge says:
'Ihese persons have brought themselves
within the statute of Maryland furnishing
treason, and should be presented and indict,
ed, whether now within the reach of the pro-
cess OF this court or not, together with all
those who participated in the outrages of
the raids Of the Rebel army into Maryland
and in the burning of Governor Bradford 5
house, or in the destruction of the train and
bridge at Magnolia during the last summer
No terms OF surrender or pardon on the
part OF the United States can relieve such
persons from liability under the laws of Ma
ryland, and it is your duty to see that the
statutes are enforced"
If this opinion of Judge Bonds does not
conflict with the amnesty proclamation and
the laws of the United States, we hope this
good work will be carried out in every county
OF the State. Let the next grand iuries
indict every man who left since the 18th of
April, 1861, and in any manner engaged in
the rebellion, and the eyes of loyal people
will not be annoyed by the sight of the mis-.
cradle wretches who, when they were thrash
ed, came back and act as if they had been
engaged in the most sacred of causes, and
as though their hands were not dripping with
the blood of the nearest and dearest friends
of some of our people. In 81 treason was
great thing with them, now let them see
how great it really is to fight against liberty

Trial of the Assassins.

The trials of the assassins and conspira-
tors concerned in the murder of President
Lincoln, commenced in Washington on Fri
day of last week before court martial, OF
which Attorney General Holt is Judge Ad-
vocate, and Gen. Hunter, President. Hon.
Reverdv johnson, of Md, is the counsel for
Mrs. Surratt. During the preliminary pro
ceedings of the court Gen. Harris objected
to the admission of Hon. Revcrly johnson,
counsel for Mrs. Surratt, on the ground that,
in an opinion delivered by Mr.. johnson dur
ing the Constitutional canvass in this State,
he expressed his disregard for the sanctity
of an oath. After u spirited discussion and
an explanation by Mr.. johnson the objec-
ton was withdrawn.
The following are the prisoners on trial
George A. Atzerott, Lewis Payne, Michael
O'Laughln, John II. Surratt, Edward Spang-
Ter, Samuel Arnold, Mary L. Surratt and
Samuel A. Mudd.
The charges on which the prisoners are
arraigned are for maliciously, unlawfully and
traitnrously combining, confederating and
aspiring together with John H. Surratt,
John Wilkes Booth Jefferson Davis, George
N. Saunders, Beverly Tucker, Jacob Thomp-
Harper, George Young, and Others un.
known, to kill and murder President Lin.
colu, Vice President johnson, Secretary.
Seward and Lieutenant General Grant
Atzerott was to have been the assassin of
Mr.. johnson, and to O'Laughlin was as
signed the task of numbering General Grant.
The evidence shows that Mr.. johnson was
in his room all that evening, and Atzerott
took room at the hotel on that fatal Fri
day morning in which he and Booth were in
conversation. At nine o'clock that night,
after the President went to the theatre, a
horse was at the door, but when Booth fired
the cowardly shot Atzerotts courage seemed
to have failed him, for he ran from his room
without assaultng Mr.. johnson, leaving his
pistol under the pillow and bowie knife
under the mattress, his coat upon the wall,
and fed on the horse. One of the wit
nesses, Weichman, who was on terms of
close intimacy with John H. Surratt, and
who, in fact, boarded with his mother
makes a statement which directly connects
jeff Davis and his Secretary of State, Ben.
jamin, with the assassins. He states that
prior to Surratt's going to Montreal, at the
beginning of April, he (Surratt) had visited
Richmond; and that on his return from
Canada he was informed of the surrender of
the Rebel Capital he refused to believe it,
saying that she had been with Davis and
Benjamin, and they told him it would not be
evacuated" Lloyd, who kept "Surratt's''
tavern, where Booth and Harold were sup.
piled with arms and whisky on the route
from Washington to the Potomac, testifes
to his receiving visit from Surratt, Harold
and Aircraft five or six weeks before the
fatal night, when the arms and ammunition
were left in his hands. Mrs. Surratt also

MONUMENT TO OUR LATE PRESIDENT.

MONUMENT TO OUR LATE PRESIDENT.
The corporators of the National Lincoln
Monument Association met at Springfield,
Illinois, on the 18th inst. 1t was decided
that the Mather's Place, purchased by the
Association, in the city of Springfield, would
be retained, and the National Monument be
built thereon, instead of the cemetery where
the Presidents remains are deposited. Com
mittees were appointed to correspond with
religious and literary societies, Masons and
Odd Fellows, Union Leagues, Boards of
Trade and Chambers of Commerce, Sabbath
schools, and in fact all associations likely to
aid in the erection of the monument. The
following resolutions were adopted by the
association:
Resolvcd, That all the Sabbath schools
throughout the United States be and are
hereby requested to take up collection for
the National Monument Association on the
second Sunday in June, 1865, and remit the
same to Hon. James H. Reveridge, State
Treasurer, at Springfield, Illinois.
Resotred. That all the teachers and pupils
of the public schools in the United States be
and are hereby requested to take up a col
lection for said purpose, on the first Tuesday
of June, 1865, and remit Us above stated.

IMPORTANT SALE OF REAL ESTATE.

The Real Estate of the late BENJAMIN W.
Orphans Court of this county, consisting of
a very fine Farm and of Houses and Lots in
Elkton and st. Augustine, will be sold in
Elkton, on Tuesday next, at clock, by
Trust cs. The Farm contains 346 Acres,
has on it two complete sets of Farm Build,
ings, is under good fencing, is of the very
best natural quality of soil, has been several
times lined, and will be sold as whole or
near St. Augustine, on Bohemia Manor
which is noted for its fertility, and is con
venient to schools, churches, &C., and is
within nine miles Of the Phil. vii. & Bait
r. r. at Middletown, and within three Of
the Canal at Chesapeake City and of the
Landings on the Bohemia river. 1t is seldom
that valuable farm is so fortunately located
as to afford its owner such opportunities of
speedy and frequent communication both by
Rail and Water with the principal cities and
such convenient places for the shipping of
grain and the landing of lime-such Farm
as this can hardly be dear at any price, and
we hazard nothing in predicting that it will
be many years before such another property
is offered at Public Sale, in Cecil. Every
person desiring to purchase valuable Farm
should attend this sale, especially as the
present temporary depression of the price of
grain may cause it to bring much less than
its real value. We have heard it reported
that two-thirds of the purchase money can
if the purchaser desires it, and this report
certainly seems justified by the advertise
mcnt in another column.
