jefferson Davis.

FORTRESS MoSRoE, April 1T has
been confidently whispered here, to-
day, that it is in contemplation to effect
the removal from here to Richmond of
Jeff. Davis on writ of ha6sas corpus.
If the late proclamation Of the Presi-
dent will admit of such step being
taken, there can be- no doubt of the
readiness of plenty to make the effort.
1t asserted that the Government would
throw no serious obstacle in the way OF
accomplishing stch u result BY this
step, the Government, it is insisted,
would rid itself of q responsibility it Is
more anxious than otherwise to get rid
Of or, in other words, become relieved
of the care and custody Of what has
come to be regarded as a very consid-
cradle elephant: OF course this is
merest ru1nor and assertion, founded
on belief, having, possibly, no founda-
ton whatever in fact. A strong COL
oring, however, is given to the rumor
by arrival this morning, Of DR.. Craven,
former post surgeon, and, Tor months,
the well-known medical attendant and
adviser of jeff. Davis. lt'will be re-
membered that it was through DR..
Craven's influence Mr.. Davis was al
lowed exercise, and through this, and
his removal from the damp and un-
wholesome casemate he had been oc-
cupying to Carroll Hall, the saving OF
his lifc-to such a very low physical
condition had he bcen reduced by his
close confinement and the treatment he
had reccived-is generally: and freely
accredited. 1t is hlso known that since
going. from here Or. Craven has spared
no influence iii his power to have Mr..
Davis brought to trial, if. for no other
reason, to bring his imprisonment to q
close, already protracted nearly o year,
and thereby not only settle the vexed
question as to what shall be done with
him, but unqucstionably prolong his
life. Justice requires it to be stated
that, in taking such an active course
on Mr.. Davis behalf, DR.. Craven has
not been, and is not, actuated by any
sympathy tor.the rebellion, OF its ac-
knowletlgel head, aud front iii the per-
son OF Mr.. Davis. His action has been
i,,stigatcd by motives. OF simple justice
and humanity toward his late distin-
ouished ,mticnt. We shall soon SEQ
what will come Of it. In the mean
while, the great ex-rebel chiettain him

Those: who call themselves practical
men are. too apt to undcrvaiuc the
thoughtful and studious men, and to
sneer at them as mere book men. The

certain printed formulas and tables, can

Of the pathless deep But he should
not sneer al book learning, for those

which he makes his observations and
solves his problems, were the result of
deep and profound study and thought.

Society, am endeavoring temporarily
to supply his place, and shall, therefore,
be unable to visit your counties during
this term as much as otherwise should.
May we not rely, however, upon the
friends of the Bible not TO let the good
cause suffer on that account The
pressing demands for the Inspired Word
among the destitute in our own country
were never so great as now; while from
the foreign field, the lmportunate cry for
1t, from people.of more than 40 different
tongues, for whom it is printed by the
American Bible Society, wakes louder
and louder.
Our noble National Society has Just
finished its first jubilee, under circum.
stances eminently cheering and hopeful,
But the glorious work it has already
done seems only TO stimulate that insa-
table demand which is to wax louder
and louder, till the people of every tribe
and nation shall read, each in his own
tongue, the wonderful truths Of Reve-
lation.
Wherever | have been able to present
the cause during the few months Of my
agency in Vermont, the people have res.
ponded literally, giving, almost uni
formly, enlarged contribution, often
doubling, and sometimes Quadrupling
their ordinary gifts.
l would particularly request each pas
tor in Rutland and Bennington Counties
to see that the cause is brought before
his people during the present or sue
ceeding month. A careful observance of
the systematic arrangement Of the Con-
gregational and Methodist churches, in
respect to time, will much facilitate the
good work. WIN. H. GILBERT,

The 'NEw GOSPEL OF PEACE ON THE
ST. ALBANs RAID.-The Fourth and
last" volume Of the New Gospel OF
Peace" has the following chapter on the
st. Adams raid -
Now Philscurrydown was small of stat
urs, and he was Of the race of the Pab-
dees.
And while he was driving Jew Bahlur-
lee and his army out Of the valley of the
Shining Door and laying waste that val
ley, certain of the Phirctahs who had
gone into the land of the Kahnux. that
they might work evil against the lang
kies, and who were made much of in
that land,
Banded themselves together, and took
arms in their hands, and went over into
the land of Unculpsam into village Of
the Iangkies.
And they hid their arms under their
garments, and the Iangkes knew not
that they were Phiretahs; for the lang
kies and the Phiretahs being of one blood
and one speech, when the Phiretahs car
ried themselves peaceably and went not
about disappearing and Staying, no one
could tell that they were Phiretahs.
Now in this village there was no army.
nor any fighting men, neither did the
armies of Unculpsalm dwell in the coun-
try round about or pass through it, as
the armies of the Phiretahs did in the
valley of the Shining Door.
And after they had sojourned many
days in the village and dwelt with the
inhabitants thereof so that they might
spy out the land, they dispersed them
selves through the village, and at Ger,
tain hour with one consent they entered
the stables and the shops of the artlf-
GERS and began to lay hands upon their
gold and silver and horses and their cat
tie.
And because Of the war there were
few in the village save old men and
women and children; for most of the
young men were in the armies of Uucul- !

And before the few that were in the |
village could gather themselves together, |
the Phiretahs mounted the horses they
had taken and began to ride out of the
village. And those that attempted to

A SINGULAR SCRDIMAGE.-A few days
ago, a soldier stationed at the fort at
Newport, R. T., when about "three sheets
in the wind" was playing on the wharf
with large Newfoundland dog, noted
for his sagacity and good nature. The
animal seemed to like the sport as much
as the man, but finally the contest be-
came warm, and the dog raising upon
his hind legs, placed his fore paws upon
the breast of the soldier. This threw
the man off his balance and the two fell
into the dock together The soldier, too
much intoxicated to swim, was in dan
ger Of drowning, when the dog seized
him and keeping his head above water,
padded off with him to boat uear by
when both were rescued.

CAsTLETON.-Editor Rutla11d Herald: In
my last buget of items 1 told you that
Chester Spencer, ESQ, had been removed
from the Express agency here. That
was so; but he was soon re-instated, to
the sincere qualification Of the entire
business public in this locality.
One day last week Mr.. Patrick Po-
land, while digging out an old cellar, on
which a house was burned, thirteen
years ago, and which was filled up at
the time with rubbish and dirt, threw
out with other things perfect loaf of
bread, from six feet under ground. 1t is
as hard and dry as brick as well it
might be,after remaining so long in such
a tight place. We regard this as an in
teresting family relic, as the cellar and
the house over which it stood, belonged
to our good old mother and the loaf of
bread was made with her own hands.
She now resides in Westfeld, Mass. |
shall take extreme pleasure in showing
her and you this venerable loaf the first
opportunity have.
Charles Langdon has fine breed Of
hens that lay regularly eggs that meas
ure from six and half to eight inches,
and we have an old hen that presents us
with an egg very often that measures
from 6 to 7 IL inches.
I could tell you several large sheep
stories but will content myself with one
this time. Messrs. Parks &, Moore had
an increase, this spring, of thirty lambs
from twenty-four ewes-and all OF the
lambs but one are doing well.

LATE FROM EURoPE-A FINANCIAL PAN
IC.-The steamship Cuba at Halifax on
Monday, brings seven days later news
from Europe, and with it intelligence of
a terrible financial panic in London,
caused by continued suspense about the
threatened war in Germany and Italy.
1t is said that London has rarely if ever
witnessed so disastrous financial times
as now. The firm of which Sir Morton
Peto is the head, has suspended, and the
house Of Overend, Quincy & Co. has
gone down with liabilities exceeding
ten million pounds sterling. The fury
of the storm had abated somewat at the
latest advices and continued improve
ment may be hoped for. United States

almost entirely suspended in London,
Liverpool, and Manchester.

warlike, but presents no decisive fea-
lures, Dispatches from several sour
ces are as numerous and contradict

against the sending of Austrian rein
forcements to Macmillan, and it was
understood that in consequence of this
protest, they would not be sent.
