THE COAL TORPEDO.

The Times says General Ridley, of Rut-

geniOusly contrived torpedo, made to
exactly resemble large Jumps of coal, which
was sent to him from Richmond by his son,
Brevet Bril-. Gen. E. H. Ridley, and found
in the private cabinet of JEFF. Davis after
his flight from the city.
DAVIS IMPLICATED.
The Posts editorial says it has informa-
tioR from trustworthy and official source
that the note or dispatch in cipher was
found in Booths pocket. A paper in cipher
had previously been found in JEFF. Davis
house in Richmond. This paper was not
to be of any importance until the
onsin Booths pocket was compared with
it, and by the use of it it was read. The
note proves that JEFF Davis was in commu-
nication with two men in Canada, for
whom rewards had been offered. In the

posed assassination, which, it is distinctly
asserted, Davis favored.
