evidently feel that his case is a desperate
one, meeting a little special pleading; they
hope the United States will not stain its
fair honor with blood by committing the
great crime of bringing Mr.. Davis to the

June 9th) which used TO be called Copper
heads in Ohio, was RECALLED with q long ar
gument to show that rebels are not trail

we should love those people whoohaye
murdered our fathers, brothers, and hus-

Davis and his confederates might be a
ouished. A w~el-known poetess Of Dover
writes as follows: "hou speak of the sad
ness the tragic fate of Abraham Lincoln
produced in you. 1 was literally mad at
first and full Of terrible desire for ven
gsauce. Verify 1 walked in darkness,
and almost lost faith in Gods justice or
mans sense Of right and reason.
But we do not see far before
US, and the speedy arrest OF
all concerned in the conspiracy, together
with the miserable snuihilation of the in
fstusted Booth, and capture of the Presi-
dent of the humbug Confederscy, has
made me dumb with wonder, that 1 even
dared to doubt for moment the over ruling
bsnd of Divine Goodness N Wisdom.
But what is to be done with Davis ana
how viii they dispose of those so closely
implicated in the plot OF internal treason

of equally wicked ambition, should an
other such exist. Let the decision come

who is in Richmond as follows:
} GThe trial OF the coDspirstors reveals
the most disbolicsl acts and plotting Z
murder by poison, disease, etc, the whole

leaders should all be hung or imprisoned
for life, and all the sympsthizers, Merit

: A FLUTTER IN TIMBER TOWN.
g As was walking out one day,
In dreadful muddy weather,
In Maryland, where bright red clay,
o And boots, stick tight together;
1 heard a row among the trees,
A hot debate neIIina-
And sitting down to take my ease,
o I learned what fuss was brewing.
