Jefferson Davis,

This despicable rebel, for whom no
words of eXecration are adequately Sc
we're. is fleeing like a vagabond crimi-
nal from his own land Of chivalry.
This miserable apology for man and
excellent excuse for Il devil, is probably
still sanguine OF the ultimate triumph
Of his cause, and in his skulking flight
doubtless -asscverates that Lee and
Johnston having surrendered he has
taken command of the Confederate
forces in person, and is just now en-
gagged i'm change of base--a perform
ancc of wonderful and incomprehens-
ible strategic moycment-whereby the
Federal power viii be utterly over
thgown and jefferson Davis rendered
the exalted hero Of his dreams.
Poor wretch! thc next base he reach
cs we trust may be thc base OF gibbot.
On the Geographic wires of the land
which lately he ruled goes flashing
"Sl0O, 600 for the arrosto Jefferson Da-
vis!n The evidence of his completely

controvcrted, and there is no spot OF all
the green earth which will harbor him.
Justice vii! reach and grapple him soon
and we pray God il may be very soon
it il now considered almost impossi-
bic for Davis to escape from the coun-
try. Gems. &LonCman's and Wilson's
Cavalry are coTnering him. The arch
rebel arrived at Washington, Georgia,
on the 18th inst, but the approach Of
&tauemnn necessiteted his hasty retreat
Gen. Wilson was at Macon, and Will
probably be enabled to intercept him.
With StUneman in his rear and Wilson
in his front, and with no force to cut
his way, Mr.. Jefferson ID. surely stands
a. very good chance of testing the
strength Of the "sour apple tree
The News Of the Assassination In Europe.

drapcd in mourning. In London, Liv-
land, public meetings were held, where
the people gave expression to their sOr-
row and indignation. In many places
business was suspended. Flags were
draped and displayed at half mast
