your attention; and; through you, that
of the President and Secretary Of War,
to the clainse of Brigadier General y. J
d. Cox TO promotion. II is unneces-
sary to recite, in detail, the services of
so distinguished an officer. He has
m erited promotion scores of times by
skillful and heroic conduct in as many
battles, He is one of the, verv best
division commanders | have ever seen,
and has often shown himself qualified
for ashigher command. < 70 brat ea,
Permit me to say tnat in overlook
ing the merits / of such an officer as
General Cox, the Government has,, un-
consciously, of course, committed an
act of great injustice, and one which
must soon deprive the country of his
services. An officer can not exercise,
for three years, a command which no
is universally y admitted to be eminent
ly qualified for, and yet be denied tho
corresponding rank, while his Juniors,
VIGOROUSLY less deserving, arc promo
ted, without feeling such modification
and chargin as must drive him from
the army.
Excuse General, tho earnestness
with which rofer to this matter l
do not exaggerate the merits of tho
case. % the contrary, do not half

A Democratic Advocate Tor Negro
Suffrage.

Strange and incomprchensible as il
may appear, the New York News, the
leading Copporhoad paper in New
York published by Ben. Wood has
come out in favor Of allowing the ne.
grocs in the rebelIions States to vote
Yes, tho open, avowed champion OF
rebels, from the beginning of the rebel.
lion TO the presen' hour, the favorte
paper Of rebel sympathizerS every
whore, has come over and joined the
radicals on the question of nngro suf.
frNge; and is now earnestly advoca-
ting that doctrine.
The editor takes caro-, however, to
explain that ho is not actuated in this
movement by any love for the negro,
nor of freedom; nor Of the people OF
tho North. nor Of Justice; but is act.
ing purely on the ground that, as he
believes, the white men of the scce-
ding States; the traitors who have
heretofore controlled tho vote of tho
poor whites Of those States, aud used
that class for the advancement Of their
own purposes, will be able also to con
trol ihc vote of the negro population,
and bend thcmalso to their will
1t might turn out, however, in this
instance, as it did in lhoir efforts to en-
list negro soldiers ir tho army Of the
rebellion, that they are, as the Irish
man said when ho swallowed the
chicken from the shell of the egg, "too
late in spakin!"- Clinton RcpubH.

HEALTH OF DAVIS.
The newspaper reports of the health
of Jeff. Davis are, without doubt, great
exaggerations of facts. There is no rea-
son to believe that Surgeon Craven, who
left here for the North yesterday, and
who has charge of the prison, would not
have reported to the Government, were
it true, that jeff. Davis is sinking rapid.
ly, as has been reported; but up to this
hour no official information has been re,
ceived here tending to show that he is
critically ill. About 2 o'clock to-day q
smart, bright lad of about sixteen years
called at the Executive mansion, edged
his way through the crowd waiting for
an audience with the President, and pre-
scented his card to the usher requesting
an interview with Mr.. Johnson. In a
short time he was admitted. "Well my
lad,n said the President, show can
serve you?u 81 learn, sir" said the
boy, "that Mr.. Davis is very i'll, and L
desire permission to send or take to him
some dellcaUies suited W his condition.
"T do not think can act in the Natter
replied the President, land / will give
you note to the Secretary of War"
The boy shortly after applied the War
Department, and obtained an immediate
hearing. Upon interrogation he said he
was the brother of Richmond editor
He felt great deal of interest in jeff
Davis. He had seen him but once in
Richmond. That he heard he was ill,
and needed some of the delicacies that
invalids usually crave, and he wanted
to supply them. The lad was informed
that no official information had been re-
ceived of jeff Davis illness, and the pa
pers which give accounts of his suppos-
ed sickness also state that all the care re-
quired was bestowed upon the prisoner.
The boy expressed surprise at the last
statement, and, remarking that hewould
make further enquiry and call again in
two days, departed, bowling himself out
in the most dignified manner.

Washington News.

The HeraLd's correspondent of the
23d furnishes the following:
GOVERNOR PERRY, OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
s INDICATED.
A friend of Governor Perry, and APP
parently by his authority, has caused the
publication of communication in
which he says that three days before
the meeting at Greenville, South Caro-
lima, Governor Perry was appointed
Provisional Governor; that the latter at
that time was not only uninformed of
his appointment, but had not the remo-
test idea that such an honor was to be
conferred upon him. The purpose of
/ Governor Perry in his address, the
writer says, was to show the people of
South Carolina the great mistake they
|, had made in seeding, the ruinous con.
sequences to their beloved State, and
the humiliation and degradation to
. which they had reduced her, boldly de-
claring that they had no cause for seced-
ing, and were in no danger from the
election of President Lincoln. The
writer says 1t is not true, as stated in
some of the newspapers, that the Gov
ernor feels personally any humiliation
in coming back into the Union, for he
had no agency in going out of the Union;
but that he has feelings for his State;
and Governor Perry entreats the South
ern people, in terms of earnestness, to
become loyal citizens and repudiate for
ever, and to teach their children to re-
pudiate, the political heresies Which
have ruined their country.
sEcEssIONIsTST RIUMPHING IN TIE vTR-
GINA ELECTIONS.
The municipal election at Frederi, oks-
burg, Va, last week, resulted in the
success of the bitterest secessionists in
the city. The elections in Virginia af-
ford little encouragement to hope for an
early settlement of the difficulties which
the suppression of armed rebellion has
left to be conciliated. Whenever and
wherever opportunity offers the citizens
of that State manifest disposition to
retain or place in power those who are
most obnoxious for their completely in
the rebellion and least disposed to aid
honestly in the restoration of Union and
loyalty to the Constitution. tits UNDER
stood that the notorious Mosby intends
