altar, To maintain inviOlate this fabric OF
human liberty. With this object in view
committee was appointed, composed of
about halt dozen citizens of Detroit. and
one Sentlemanfrom each cOuntyin the State

Association. Chas. Kipp Esq. OF this vii
laSe, was appointed for Clinton county.
The object is a very good one, but We are
inclined to believe that the proposed scheme

State, for two reasons. First. because q
number ofthe counties have already taken
steps TO erect suitable monuments to Der
petuate the memory Of their fallen dead. -
which will sufficiently tax their means;
and secondly fthe people Of Detroit want
monument to adOrn their city, they are

- The trial of Capt. Henry Wirz as
he now spells his name, commenced before
the Court Martial as previously announced,
but after one day the court adjourned in
definitely. The counsel for the prisoner
took exceptions TO the jurisdiction OF the
commission as constituted. The charges
and specifications were read. They charge

been already made, and the cruel and inhu-

re- The correspondent Of the y. Y.
TrtJune, writing from Washin 5tOn, August
y, has the following. which puts AN entire
ly different appearance on the information
we have 50 often had on the matter of par
dons granted by the President:
&c Up 10 to-day 20 400 applications for
pardon have been received IT the Atty. Gene
rails Office. All those, who. in the opinion
OF the Attorney General, have just claims
to executive ciemency, are duly recommend
ed and forwarded 10 the President for his
action.
&c Ii Is said. on the authority OF an officer
Of the State Department, that the signature
OF the President has been affixed TO less
than one hundred oil the applications re-
ceived for pardon. The number daily an
nOunced as pardoned are simply the names
Of those recommended and forwarded from
the office Of the Attorney General. The
President has exercised the utmost caution
and discretion in the matter Of pardOns
and has invariably rejected all applications
unless good and sufficient reasons were pro-
duced TO show the necessity for executive
clemency."

The proceedings of the Wirz trial on Sat
urday were quite interesting. The cross
Massachusetts regiment, was continued,
and Rob't. NJ Kellogg. who was a prisoner
NJ AndersOnville, was called and testified.
His evidence cOrroborates fully all that has
heretofore been written OF the horrors and
suiierings Of that dreadful pen. Prisoners
were starved to death and their bodies left
where they had breathed their last for three
days. Dead men were frequently found
mingled with the liyeing. Nearly half the
men who accompanied him TO Anderson
vile died after they were paroled.

Anecdote Of Gen Grant.

While engaged in business at Galena
he bought lot of hides Of a neighbor
which did not prove to be Of very excel
lent quality, although so represented. The
seller during the war received a cOmmis>
sion of Captain in an Illinois regiment,
which was not long since transferred to
the Army of the Potomac. At review
by the Lieutenant General, this regiment
being in line, Grants sharp eye fell upon
the captain. Advancing his horse nearer
to the line he thus addressed him " Well,
b, how are musty, mouldy, maggO'y

not got over my foudnes for dicker, and

TIE RETURNING SOLDIERS.
vRrrrEx rOR TIE sEvrISEL.


The noble soldiers who have been fighting
for four long years in defense of the Union
and the Right, are now rewarded with sue
cess. They are returning to their homes to
receive the blessings of their friends, and en-
joy the honor they have so bravely won.
Let Us give them an enthusiastic welcome,
and treat them in such a manner that they
may appreciate our gratitude for their valO-
rous services in our defense.
Many of them who left good situations in
business, to join the army, will, for time,
find difficulty in obtaining such again. Those
in employment at home, therefore, who want
to hire, should patrOnize the soldiers.
It is supposed by some, that the soldiers,
who for q few years have been leading such
wild and dangerous life, will, on returning
home, be worthless citizens. But we have
seen enough of them already to know that
they are glad to'be restored to their old Occu-
pations in business, and many of them will
become better citizens than ever before. And
while we have the pleasure of congratulating
the happy wives, mothers and sisters on the
safe return Of their loved ones from the bat
tle-felds, let US constantly remember, and ez-
tend our sympathy to, the bereaved ones, who
must forever wait in vain for the coming of
some near and dear one whose life blood
ebbed away upon some So uthern battlefield,
or whose last breath was taken in some
Southern PrisOn-pen. MINIMUM.

Tbr NV York Herald advocates nepr

The New York Herald advocates negro
suffrage. In speaking Ofthe recohstruc-
ton in Virginia it says:
awe think, however, that as African
slavery is out of the way, the sooner this
question of negro suffrage is settled, and
settled in the favor ofthe liberated blacks,
the better it will be for the pacifcation of
the South and the whole county on this
new national platform of universal liberty.
If not soon settled it will become a ques>
rion of miscbeivOus political agitation,
whereas, with its settlement on the basis
of universal suffrage, the political agita-
ton of the negro question as well as the
slavery question, will be at an end. As
for the bugbear Of negro social equality
in this connection, society will take care of
that-We have no fear Of it whatever

The Capture of JEFF: Davis.
General Prisohard's Account of the Affa


From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
Brigadier General Pritchard, of 8Iichi.
gan, who captured. the rebel ehieftain in
Georgia, is still in this city. Last evening
he visited the club rooms of the Union
League, and was introduced to large
number Of members. After inspecting
the different apartments, he Wentto the
principal drawing room, and made a brief
statement OF the circumstances attending
the pursuit and capture Of Davis and his
party.
1t appears that General Pritebard Cthen
Lieuteuant-C Colonel with his detachment
Of the 4th Michigan Cavalry, fell in with
a detachment Of the the 1st Wisconsin
Cavalry, whose officer Informed him that
he was Oh Davis trail Magnanimously
allowing them to pursue it, General
Pritchard moved his party to the left, and
making a long detour, by rapid march,
reached about nightfall a wood where he
learned that party was eneamped whom
he suspected Of being those of Whcm be
was in search. Posting guards allaround
the wood, he gave orders that at daylight
the main column should advance upon it.
But about three or four o'clock IN the
morning he heard firing to bis left, and
then occurred the unfortunate collision
between his men aud those of the 1st
Michigan. Hurrying to the scene, the
mistake was discovered, and he returned
to his command.
The advance on the wool was made
aud was a complete surprise to the camp,
for there was no resistance. Pritchard
was requested not to disturb couple Of
tents, as the occupants we're ladies, who
we're dressing He complied with the
request. By and by couple of ladies,
one of whom wore a white night-g0wn
aud a shawl, and who proved tobe Mrs.
Davis, appeared aud asked that an old
lady with them might be allowed to go to
a spring to get some water. The "Old
LADY, wore lady's water proof cloak fas-
tened about the waist and reaching to the
heels q large shawl, with black ground
and eolOred border, covered the head and
upper part of the person, and the wearer
carried a tin bucket. Tue request was
and a couple of soldiers we're sent
with the "lady" to the spring.
On the way one Ofthe soldiers detected |
the boots Of a man beneath the feminine |
skirts, aud at once suspected that they |
had Davis. He was taken back to Col |
Pritehard and soon confessed that be was
Jefferson Davis. Preparations were at
once made for removing him and the
whole party, and they we're safely con-
veyed to the coast. 1t will be observed |
that the main facts of the capture are al
most precisely as they were first reported.
The accounts of Mrs Davis conduct |
are not as correct. She did not make the
reported remark about 'the President or
complain of anything, except upon one.
That was when she requested
that the guards should not carry their
guns cooked. Col Pritchard had to ex-
plain that they were only half cooked;
that they we're the Spencer earbine, which,
when charge is IN the chamber, has to
be kept at a half cock, and that there was
no danger. After this explanation there
was no more complaint.

Good Nature.

Dame Gruudy was the most good-na-
tured woman alive. Come what would,
everything was right nothing wrong.
One day farmer Gruudy told a neighbOr
that he believed his wife was the most
even-tempered woman in the world, for he
never saw her cross in his life; aud, for
once, he should like to see her so. "Well,"
said the neighbOr, Ego into the woods and
bring her load of the crookedest wood
you can 6nd, and if it don't make her
cross, nothing will" Accordingly, to try
the experiment, he teamed home load of
wood every way calculated to make a
woman fret. For week or more she
used the wood copiously, but not word
of complaint escaped her lips. So, one
day, the husband Ventured to inquire of
her how she liked the wood. 80, it Is
beautiful wood" said she; 81 wish you'd
get another load, for It lays around the
pot so complete "
