Macmillan in DURANGO.

NEw ORLEANS, Nov. l7,-Late Mexi-
can advices state that Macmillan arrived
at Cordova, where he was stopped and
prevented from proceeding further until
he should abdicste in favor of some per.
son named by Bazaine. The Emperor
offered to abdicate in favor of Iturbide,
but this was not accepted, and he returned
to the capital declining to abdicate in
favor of any one else.
VERA Cruz, Nov l.-Maximilian is on
his way back to the capital. 1t is ru
mored that Marshal Bazaine sent him
word that if he attempted to leave Mex
leo without permission he would be
placed under arrest, and he ordered the
commander of the Austrian frigate moi
to let Macmillan embark on his vessel.

The Murder Of Hon. jefferson Davis.

Months ago we were told ex-President
jefferson Davis would certainly be tried
in Ootober--then in November, without
fail-now that event is deferred until
next spring Meanwhile the health of
the man summoned by the unanimous
voices of eleven sovereign States and
eight millions Of free white men to do for
them what George Washington did for
thirteen colonies and three millions of
people==to lead their forces and direct
their energies for the achievement of in
dependencies dying by inches in his
dungeon at Fortress Monroe
When death results it will be ia the
sight Of God and in the eyes Of the civil
lied world-willful murder Some one
will be held accountable-we propose to
speak plainly of this matter as we do
OF most othersl
We kRow it is the purpose Of the Re-
publican leaders, theRump Congress, the
enemies Of peace and Feanion, 20 kill the
most distinguished and ablest OF present
living American statesmen, IN this COW
ardly, base, and inhuman manner.
We knop, too, that they are satisfied
Of their inability to convict him by the
codes ard presidents Of either English
or American law on the subject Of trea-
son. The highest legal talent, months
ago, after laborious discussion, thorough
research, aud patient investigation, ar
rived at this conclusion. Mr.. Davis can
not be convicted legally. In his behalf
are enlisted some OF the ablest cOnstitu-
tional lawyers Of the country, with scores
Of others in reserve, masters OF their
profession. The disunion party dare not
bring Mr. Davis 10 trisl-they have nei-
Their means or power to make a star
chamber" affair Of il, and a report of the
trial would not furnish the sort Of read
ing they care to place in the hands OF
the American people.-Ld Crosse Dem

CITY CIRCULATION,
A STOLEN COMMUNION SET.

Rev. Dr. ADGER, of South Carolina, 10
letter to DIR. BAcKus, of Baltimore
lately published, makes the following
statement and vouches for the fact;
"Wben General SHERMASs army
passed through Winsboro, s. G., Capt
FULLER. and six others of that army,
robbed one of the ruling elders of the
Scion PRESBYTERIAN Church there of an
elegant communion set, the git OF
diving female member of the same, cost
ing two hundred and eighty dollars IN
New York, and having the church's name
and the donors name engraved upon
each article.
DIR. ApGER makes the following addi-
tional statement;
A certain congregation of your body
now has that silver communion set,
which Captain FULLER presented to
them. and are now using it for their COM
mupion purposes, with those names of
Scion church and its dying sister staring
them continually in the face, as they eat
The bread and drink the wine which set
forth the body and blood of our common
Master.
There is probably no doubt of the truth
of this statement The veracity of DIR.
ApGAR is not to be impeached. 1t is
then true that church, protesting to be
Christian, protesting to obey the COM
mandment-" Thou shalt not steal lis
actually using for communion purposes
silver set knowing it to be stolen prop
erty. There is the name of the woman
who, dying, and in the very presence of
eternity, made the gift. 1t was her last
earthly act, her final bequest; and she
died in the belief that she had rem
dered a service TO religion. She
could not foresee that vandalism
would take it from the altar where
she had worshipped, and that
people protesting to worship her God,
would receive it as stolen property and
shame the Christian religion by daring
TO use it for SO holy purpose as that of
communion. We have become accus-
toned to stories that tell of robberies OF
pianos, household furniture jewelry, etc.
We have been indignant over such acts
of barbarism. We have even learned to
moderate our tone when speaking OF out
RACES committed ON old men, women and
children. We have struggled to go back
into political Union with the men who
made the South wilderness and reduced
its people to bankruptcy. But stealing
a communion set, and the use of it by
a church, knowing it to be stolen, taxes
anew the temper and strengthens the
dogma of mans total depravity. We
trust soon to have the name of the church
that holds this stolen property.

SILK

An exchange says: The refuse of a
worm, employed to give distinction and
dignity to the lord of the creation. Com
pare the caterpillar in his cocoon with
the kings counsel in his silk gown, and,
in adjusting the claims of the rival
worms. the palm of ingenuity must be
conceded to the former, because it spin,
and fashions its own covering, whereas
the latter can only spin out the thread of
lengthy argument, and weave, too often,
web of sophism. Hear bow GIBBoS
discourses on the subject i need not
explain that silk is originally spun from
the bowels of caterpillar, and that it
composes the golden tomb whence a
worm emerges in the form of butterfly. ="
