FIRST FRUITS OF THE FAIR.-At a
meeting yesterday of the ladies' COM
posing the Executive Committee, it was
resolved to instruct the Treasurer and
Auxiliary Committee to forward with the
least possible delay, money and pro-
visions to relieve the most pressing needs
of the unfort!on people in the State of
Georgia This action was taken in
consideration Of the deplorable condition
of the people of that State as set forth in
letter of Governor Jenkins recently
published. The plan for distribution
of the funds accruing from the Fair has
not been determined upon, but it is be-
lievsd that the nature of the appeal of
Governor Jenkins justifes the prompt
action of the committee.-Baltimore

THE REV. THEODORE CLAPP-We
regret to learn that this distinguished

pulpit orator of New Orleans, is lying
verv sick at his residence, on Green
Street, in this city, and not expected to
recover. He has been bereft of his
reason for nearly two weeks.-Louis

THE CAPTURE OF JEFF. DAvIs.-It
appears from the records of the War
Department that with the exception
of the Presidents proclamation none
but verbal orders were given for the
capture of Jefferson Davis. Major
General Wilson says that Lieutenant
Colonies Harden and Pritchard are en-
titled to great credit for the zeal and
activity with which they conducted
the pursuit, and that it is but simple
justice to those worthy officers to re-
mark that they were ignorant of the
reward at the time of the capture
Colonel Pritchard says it was SO dark
that he could not distinguish the uni
forms. In the course of his nara.
tive he says:
"On the return to the camp / was
accosted by Davis from among the
prisoners, who asked if l was the
officer in command; and upon my an
swering him that l was, and asking
him what was to call him, he re.
piled that 1 might call him what OF
whoever / pleased; when 1 replied to
him that 1 would call him Davis and
upon a moments hesitation he said
that was his name Then he suddenly
drew himself up with true royal dig
nifty and exclaimed 81 suppose you
consider it bravery to charge atrain Of
defenceless women and children; but
it is theft and vandalism
Nothing is said in the narrative
about his being disguised.-Wash
Corr. n. Y. Herald.

THE COUNTERPART BIBLE-When
Gen. Sherman passed through and de-
stroyed the city of Jackson in July
1868, one of the soldiers stole Bible
kept at the Mayors Office. On the fly
leaf he wrote david w. Hills Book,
found at Jackson, Miss, July the 18th,
1853, this Book IS Counterband-love
nor money can't get il"
A few days since, says the News
and Mississippian, our worthy ex-
Mayor, Mr.. Chas H. Manship, re-
ceived the Bible, accompanied by the
following note:
MEMPHIS, April, 1866
Mr.. Manship, formerly Mayor of Jack
son, Mississippi:
DEAR SIR: accidentally came in
possession of this Bible, which was
TAKEN by one David Hills, who con
sidered it "Counterband," it appears
that its injunctions were regarded con-
traband, at least, judging from his
disregard. Ts
Ireturn it to you to be placed in the
Office again.
Respectfully yours,
T. FsP.
send it to you, as you were Mayor
when it was taken. +.

FUNERAL OF ONE OF VICKsBURG's
HEROIC BoYs.-The remains of Mar
maduke Shannon, Jr., son of our we'll
known and universally esteemed fell
low citizen of the same name, says the
Herald Of Wednesday, will reach this
city this evening, and the funeral will
take place from the Methodist
Church, tomorrow.
This gallant boy fell at the post of
duty, before Mobile, but a few days
before the final capitulation of the
conquered army" He was noble,
generous, heightened and chivalric
lad, and the circumstances of his
death were as heroic as the proud
character of his native city demanded.
We knew "Dukey" well, raised as he
was within the immediate observa-
ton of the writer of this notice; the
only male descendant of his devoted
parents, he gave high promise of all
they could wish. Even the stricken
parents and fond sisters can rejoice
that,
HE has left no spot on his name,
But dying, looks up from the death-bed OF
fame"

charge of their duties, and the business
of the Court is progressing very rap
IDLY and satisfactorily. Over one
hundred cases were continued under a

at Washington, have been released
and seut to Louisiana under charge
of the Freedmen's Bureau. A noL

the South.
For the sake of consistency, it may
be as well to mention in this connec-
ton that Congress has recently passed
a resolution severely condemning
Switzerland for sending her convicts
to the United States. The inconsist-
ency in this case is all the worse for
the probability that some of these
banished negroes were brought from
the South, well disposed and honest
'boys," and, after having been cor
rupted by Radical example at the cap
ital, are sent back spoiled to their old
homes.-Missouri Republican.
