Monday the Third Sale Day.

Crowds came to town last Monday.
The usual--or rather an unusual
amount of "spcrits" flowed. Every
body seemed to be in good spirits, and
there seemed to be agood deal of spir-
its in several bodies.
However, sales went off many and as
fast as our facctious friend, Mr..
Woodward, generally disposcs of that
sort of business. The Shcriff's ham.
mer was the seal of few sales. The
stamp of the Court of Equity's dccrccs
was visible on several. Among the
latter sales was one of hundred acres
of land for thirty-cight dollars. Thir-
ty-eight cents for an acre of land was
regarded, and SO pronounced, as a
diminutive price. A friend thoughtit it
was worth that much to raise rabbits
on.
Some account of the sales will be
found below.

Jefferson Davis His Prison Life What
He Represents.

we were permitted to read the "Pris-
on Life of Jefferson Davis, by DR..
Craven" Our interest in the book
may be inferred from the fact that it
was unpleasant for us to be interrupt
cd in reading it until we had finished
it. We did note down the impress
sIons made upon our mind at the time,
but misplaced the manuscript How
ever, we advise every one fond of the
"new, strange or beautiful to read
that work. It may seem singular that
we should apply to this work what
Addison indicated as the three depart
ments which give the Imagination free
play. But let the objcctor read it,
before Judging of the happiness of the
application.
There are two things which pre-
eminently strike the mind of the read
er. One is the remarkable memory of
the original author, and the other, the
varied and profound learning of the
subject. We say original author, be-
cause, while DR.. Craven furnished the
notes, Col. Halpine, of New York, is
said to have written them out for pub
lication. This fact came out in an in
terview had with Mr. Davis by some
of his friends who got an expression of
his opinion in regard to the book. In
alluding to it, he is reported to have
said that the author did him great in
Justice as to his opinion of the Fedcr-
al General, Hooker. He had said the
reverse of what,thc book gives as that
opinion; and the discrepancy was ac-
counted for by the fact that Halpine
himself who was great admircr of
Hooker, gave than opinion to suit his
views. So far as We are informed,
Mr.. Davis, advanced no other objec-
tion to the book.
The poor old (and ncarly) blind
captive still fingers in ';durancc vilc,"
and may we not say literally "vile" T?
When viewed by Southern man,
Jefferson Davis lies in that frownng
fortress the very embodiment of all
that is great, noble and honorable in
man. His greatness is part of the
Government of the United States
when that Government stood proudly
supported by "Truth, Justice and the
Constitution" His nobility is inter
woven inextricably in the beauty and
virtue of that Government when it
was just one. And his honor is
there, as it always has been unim-
pcachcd, by any honorable man and
every Southern man knows that if
those creaking prison doors were thrown
open, and Jefferson Davis were told
that the world was now his promo
made, and he were parolcd with that
privilege, that though he might be-
take himself to the uttcrmost parts of
the earth, the very first call from the
Government that holds him captive. to
come before their judicial tribunals,
would be responded to, if not with the
delight Of lover to the idol of his
heart, at least, with his promptncss.
Such is Jefferson Davis, as we of the
South look at him.
Swing round with us, dear reader,
to the North face of that grim old
Fortress. What do we here behold 2
we mean, as pictured and viewed by a
Northern man. There deservedly,
shut up in those giant walls, is the
very embodiment of hideous disloyal-
ty. Words fail us to depict the hor-
rid spectre ole. his clanking chains

WyrN DID THE REBELLION ENDr

IN the o. g. District Court in the State OF Delaware
decision has been rendered by Judge Hail. releasing
from Imprisonment in Fort Delaware four PERSONS
who had been arrested, tried and convicted by the
military authorities of the United States IN south
Caroline. In December, 1865. The prisoners had Deen
found entity before court martial, OF which Gen.
Dsyens WAC President of having voluntarily aided IN
the assault made on the United States troops stationed
A. Browns Ferry, S. c., in October, 1865. M
Iudge Hal ordered the discharge Of the prisoners on
writ of habess corpus, on the ground that the Mill
tary Commission was without jurisdiction in the case
declaring it as his opinion, that the rebellion had
ceased in April, 1865; and, inasmuch as the Presi-
dents proclamation, issued in June, appointing Pro-
ysional Governor for South Carolina ordered 1.-THE
District Judge for the district in which that State is
included to proceed to hold courts the State was In
the exercise of all its civil functions before the issuing
of the order for the organization of the Commission
BIZ which the prisoners had been tried and condemned
The points of greatest interest in the decision OF Judge
Hall are that the Rebellion had ceased and the author
ity of the United States was acknowledged IN south
Carolina in April 1866; and that, after the appoint
ment OF Provisional Governor for any State by the
President the military forces of the United States
were without authority arrest and try persons be-
fore military commissions The practice of the Gov
eminent officers in all Of the Southern States during
the past year and half, both under the freedmens
Bureau bill and Gen. Grants Order, are decidedly
against the position taken by the Delaware Judge II
ia not likely, therefore, that he will be sustained
