The last. sensation card 1T the North
is that both JEFF. Davis and General
Lee propose to give up the ship. What
must be the gulIibility Of : people which
can swallow such dose Is that without

JEFF is on his way to Mexico, with Lee
making tracks in the same direction, for
the. purpose Of Offering his military
services to Maximilian.
It is long time since We have seen
JEFF. Davis, and possibly he has really
given General Grant the slip, and ia, by
this time, on his way TO the Halls Of the
Montezumas. All that either he or Les
have to do is to step on one Of the South

PARTICULARS OF THE FIGHT
At PETERSBURG, SATURDAY.
Our correspondent at Petersburg, yes
terdsy, gave some Of the particulars Of
the fight at Petersburg, Saturday. 1t
appears that . reconnaissance in force
was made Of the enemy's position near
the river ON Saturday morning At an
early hour, which was brilliantly exc
cuted as far as it went, but was, unfor-
tunately, attended with some little loss.
Our troops were massed to the left Of
Colquitt's salient, in front of the enemy's
works on Hare's farm, whence, preceded
by General Gordon's corps Of sharp
shooters, silent but rapid advance was
made. The sharpshooters were notified
of the duties expected Of them, and per.
feet quiet imposed upon their move.
meuts. The assault was intended to be
surprise to the enemy; and such, in
deed, it proved to be. The Petersburg
Ezpress has the following particulars ol
the affair:
About o'clock, everything being 10
readiness, the corps of shArpshooters,
about two hundred and fifty strong, left
our works, and, with empty gums, ad-
yanced steslthily, but rapidly, upon the
eaemy's PISTON. They feb like Z

The colonies Of Massachusetts,, Rhode

adopted declaration Of rights, in which
the sole power of taxation was asserted
to reside in the colonial legislatures. An
address to the King and petition to

This congress was only preparatory
step to that which took place in Stptem-
Der, l774, at Philadelphia. In the COM
gress at Philadelphia, all the colonies
were represented except Georgia. A
revolutionary government was there Or
ganized, which terminated only when it
was regularly suspended by the confede-
rated government, under articles finally
ratified in 1881.
The history Of that confederation is
familiar to the reader. 1t was succeeded
by the Constitution of the United States.

delegates in Philadelphia, 1887, after
wards ratified by the various States.-
The e,s;gencies Of the occasion seemed to
be met by the conventiep Of 1887,
which, however, failed to Efsyide for the
possible contingency Of one or more
sovereign States settiag up against the
General Government. Various propo

by overwhelming majorities, and the
convention seems to have concluded to

have led the States to reject the whole
plan of union.

For the Cairo Times.
The Democrat of Sunday, both editorialy
and in its local column, animadverted with in
tended severity upon the management of the
Atheneum The former is somewhat excusa-
BILE on the score Of Ignorance, but the latter
was fully aware of the circumstances under
which the management was placed in consti-
tuting the Atheneum company and the efforts
unrelaxing and constant, to supply defcien-
cies, and render it in every respect, as thorough
and perfect as it should be.
The local editor is aware of the manner in
which the late stage manager contrived 10
throw difficulties in the way of the manage
ment, and prevent the engagement Of those
upon whom full reliance was placed; but had
not the manlness or frankness to explain.
The local editor of the Democrat has had
some experience in theatrical management, and
being thus conversant with the difficulties:
should be more tolerant and more just. He
should cast his re Elections so that they should
fall alone upon the guilty.
As for the editorial fling, it is in such bad
taste, that the Atheneum is likely to survive
it. If it was the only way the editor could
conceive to ''draw good house" for MIR

might not have been anticipated from one who
