Crmors RIVER PnEXoMESoS.-A few weeks ago the bed of the river Klamoth, in California, suddenly rose several feet, converting the stream into q broad and shallow torrent. The Yreka Journal explains the phenomenon as follows:
 - ss.1'he river, where the uprising took place, was very deep, with q slate rock bottom, which the eddies in the river gradually wore through making an escape for strata chalk foima- tion, heavily pressed, no doubt. by the hill back of the bank, which sunk down level at the same time the bed of the river rose up. As the original bank, with large trees along it., between the sunken hill and river channel re- main firm, the natural suposition is that the foundation of that locality is of solid rock, with a vacuum from which the chalk substance emanated. Since the rise in the river from last week rains, the stream is fast washing away the chalSy incumbrance intruding it's original channel. The locality is about thirty miles from Yrcka, and we learn that some of our citizens contemplate visiting thc-scene.7

 A loving daughter and an aifectionate sister has gone-goncup heayen-leaTing behind disconsolate parents and a weeping sister to mourn, because oftheir sad bereavement. -- Weep not then sorrow stricken ones, nor let the tear of anguish swell in thy heart. Not you alone are made sad, for in the departed one were blended all the graces of life, and appreciating friends weep with you. She whom we lovedis gone; as shone her life on earth, beautiful ill it's simplicity; so she shall ever shine in that ever blessed country where there is no death. Her life was pure, and when death came he bore her away gently.

An important order was issued on the first day of May by the war department, by directions of the President, that military com missions and courts-martial have no jurisdic- lion whatsoever over any other persons than those belonging to the army and navy of the United States, camp followers, etc., etc., which is precisely the position we took in an article several weeks since, on the illegality of all trials of citizens not connected with the military establishments.-[ Memphis Appeal

The Condition of Ex- President Davis.

The FortrcsS Monroe Correspondent 01 the New York Herald, writing April 18th
 says: M e
 X Jefferson Davis, I am told, expresses the
 hope that the newspaper rumors that he is to be brought speedily to trial will prove true. This of course, may be ono way or the other. From the outset of his impris- onmcnt this has been his constant clamor, and he doubtless desires to prove himself too consistent in his declarations to seem to wish otherwise DOW But it is the very de cidcd opinion of most that his mind is largely and hopefully exercised at present upon the subject of general amnesty which will rid him of being brought to trial Ut all. sIn the shadowy remoteness and uncertainty of this amnesty, I think there can be no doubt, however, but he would prefer an immediate examination and decision of his case to being kept much longer in prison, and undergoing the continuous painful per plexity of hope longer deferred. Mean time, officers and others coming daily in contact with him may assert and believe what they say, that his health has been unimpaired by his. long Imprisonment; but a gentleman, also doctor at that, who knew him during the war, and saw him q few days since for the first time sinceshis capture assures me that he has most per ccptibly and painfully failed in health since his incarceration. He was within few feet of him on the parapet His face he noticed as very much thinner, his hair is graycr, and his steps is not at all assured. He rested frequently in his walks, and every lineanentof of his face and every move mcnt betraycdphysical energies wasted and worn to a degree giving assurance of but little remaining vitality This gentleman says he cannot live the summer out in pri- son. l will add here that as far as this gentleman s observations went it was well for his own satisfaction, as well as that of others, he was thus careful in making them, forFunder a new order, just issued, he is not likely to have an oportunity to repeat them. This order prevents strangers from coming anywhere near him in his walk, and sentries and now sent ahead to notify people who may be walking on the parapet of his coming, and compel them to go in the opposite direction. MT. Davis has al ways manifested q dislike to the propin- |quity and inquisitorial glanccs of strangers and the probability is that this order was issued from sole regard to his feelings ir the matter.

ISLANDER A NEcEssITY.-The Radicals of Congress, having adopted plan of .'recon- istrnction" which puts of the admission of the Southern States to some distant, indefinite period of time in the far future, it becomes necessary for them to show that our people are still disloyal and rebellous, in order to bolster up their plan ;--and hence system of s'orgauized islander and misrepresentation is resorted to for this purpose. Every little local emucte. every city riot, no matter how originating, is taken up, by them, and wan tonly distorted and coored to suit their nefari- ous purposes. In order to keep the Southern States out of the Union and retain power in their own hands, they lyingly represent that the people of these States are still in state of hostility andrebcllion against the Government. Every word they hear from them dcnunciatory of the fell designs and vindctivc spirit of the Radicals, they take up and herald forth to the world as positive proof of disloyalty to the Gov ernment--as ifthey, a vile contemptible, un- < republican faction, living by islander and prospering by corruption, were the Govern

CoSenEss WARSEp,--The .consttUtioa1l U,sion, publishedat Washington, in its issue of Wednesday contains an article on Congress sional action in the following words:
 "These men had better beware: they are not legal Congress, but an unconstitutional body of fusurpers. The country feels that the one great error of the President was in his ever recognizing them at all. In their self imposed trump condition, they had no claim for recognition as an official body from an hon. est man, or any other branch of government. We doubt whether the Supreme Court will ever affirm any of their acts to be valid. This thing of Congressional fanaticism and treason ought to be done away with. The American Congress now is the fac smile of tha trump Parliament which sunk in the nostrils of al good men, and which Cromwell kicked out of doors, and served them just right .liA little ECromwellian pluck is just the thing needed now. and there are 2,000.000 Democrats at the North who would face that kind of pluck with a good deal of relish just now. The issue should bejoined at once.'

Rest, sweetly rest, oh, heroes brave
In thy most sacred beds,
The stars and stripes henceforth shall wave
Above thy sleeping heads.
No more wilt thou thy swords unsheathe;
Thine armor is laid down;
And angel hands thy brows will wreathe
With glory's starry crown.
All! in remembrance deep are blent
Those sad, eventful hours,
When forth from peaceful homes We went
To face the battle powers;
To strike asure and steady blow
For liberty and right,
And bear our starry banner through
The thickest ofthc fight.
When rebels aimed their murd'rous fire
At Sumter's sea girt wall,
And cross the telegraphic wire
FLASHED tidings of its fall;
When shot and shell fell thick and fast
On that devoted band,
And down the flagstaff came at last
The symbol of our land;
Oh, how thy patriot bosoms bled
How were thy hearts oppressed,
To think that beings nursed and fed
Upon the nations breast,
Should seek their native land to flood
In Wars ensanguined waves,
And carve in sorrow and in blood
Unnumbered heroes graves.
Yet, from thy Northern homes We p CURED
The nations life to shield;
Tomeet rebeIlion's hcllish horde
