court.niarlial was his favorite pastime;
signing death-warrants his most agree
able duty--and the crack of the muskets
and the shrek of the victim was the soft
music that lulled him to sleep. He
thought blood, looked blood, talked
blood, enacted blood, and dreampt it in
his dreams If there was anything that
could equal his thirst for human gore it
was his thirst for money-and the con-
sequence was, that indiscriminate
robbery kept pace with indiscrlmi-
nate butchery. While one hand
was ever at the throats of the people, the
other was ever in their pockets He pro-
scribed persons for the express purpose
of robbing them. He robbed old and
young, rich and poor, men, women and
children widows and orphans; all ages,
sexes, sizes and conditions; Union men
and secessionists--it made no difference
to him, all were alike fair game for the
bloody-thirsty and avaricous tyrant, To
have money or something else that he or
his friends wanted was crime enough,

branded with disloyalty, and either sent

Nicknames.'

Victor Hugo, in his last novel, the
"Toilers of the Sea-" speaks of the fond
ness of Americans for comforting nick
names upon their celebrated men. He
illustrates it as follows: You call your
famous Missouri banker, Thomas Ben
ton, old Lingot; !" Seward, who intro
duced the small bank notes, Little
Billy ;" "Clay, The Mller's Boy with a
Scar. "As to Winfield Scott, as his
first thought after beating the English at
Chippewa, was to sit down to dine, you
call him Quick, Basin OF Soup.
Mr.. Clay was called the Mill Boy OF
the Slashes, but as the "Slashes " was
the name of the place where he exercised
his vocation, they were not of the sort to
produce "a scar" 1t is rather hard to
call Mr.. Benton, the deadly enemy of all
banking, a I" banker and to suppose
the author of our voluminous diplomatic
correspondence an issuer of small
notes" Gen Scott took his " hasty
plate of soup long subsequent to the
war with England, and we do not remem-
Der that any one, even during his heated
canvass for the Presidency, ever hailed
him with the euphonius appellation OF

poolittle, Of wisconsin.

From the Boston Postl
Mr.. lDoolittle is a thick-set, broad
shouldered man, garbed in black, with
face grown over by full grizzly whiskerS,
which, like his hair, obstinately claimed
quirl Of its own. The action and the
man, aside from the strong, resonant
chest tones that came forth as from "a
bell, bore the guarantee of indomitable
vigor and continual study More than
that, you win discern in the accent OF
those calm and'earnest periods the pres
ence of great soul that will speak for
itself, though no end Of party ruin betide.
1t is the full sway OF an impulse like
this, that led this man at the very onset
of the struggle, to declare that no star of
the thirty-six should ever be expunged
from the hag to maintain them invio-
late had the war been waged; upon that
line and under that flag had the forces
of tile Union sacrificed blood and lives
incalculable; upon that line and under
that flag had victory keen achieved,
and upon that line and under that flag,
God helping him, he intended to fight on
to the end" All who heard that great
and memorable speech of January last,
which was the first of all the glittering
generalities expended at the opening OF
the session, to draw token of sympathy
and applause from the crowded gallery,
could not have failed to become pos
sessed of the idea, that that declaration
of principle would never be de-
parted from while the utterer re-
mained in public service. And even
now, in the very thickest Of the fight,
you can detect no shadow of WEAKNESS,
nor aught of yielding. Mr. Doolittle is
not an elaborate speaker, but unlike the
majority Of members of the Senate, bis
English is Of the purest and least pedan-
tic. Neither is there any strain for effect,
yet you find yourself according, at the
very least, a respectful and interested
attention, though as radical as Wade or
intolerant as Trumbull The entire
physique is made for wear, and that It
1eiH wear, you have only to hear a half
dozen sentences, enforced upon the hear
ing by the earnest action and stentorian
defamation of the Senator, TO become
thoroughly convinced. Just now, he is
telling them Of the opposite wing of his
party, that this country desires Union
restored, and the resumption of perfect
harmony and repose That these she
piH hare at the hands of her Represen-
tatives in Congress, and the power that
endeavors 10 thwart that end, must be
crushed in the antagonism. This, and a
host of other vigorous and unhesltating
assertions make up the speech-not u
word being weighed for the occasion, or
a metaphor sought for establishment,
yet neither is wanting in its purest and
most attractive significance Thus much
for the stalwart and indefatigable Sena-
tor from Wisconsin. Not few of the
multitude that daily throng the gallery,
have learned to think that this persistent
confidence in the award Of the people,
and reiterated determination TO abide
that decision, whatever Of failure and
disappointmenti It may have in store, is
already indicative Of victory over half

This Character of the Men who Indicted
Jefferson Davis.

From the Richmond Examiner.
As will be seen under our regular tele-
gre phic head, the Grand Jury of the Uni-
ted States District Court, in session at
Norfolk, have found a true bill against
Jefferson Davis for high treason
This does not surprise us when 1t IS
known that such men were on that jury
as Wardwell, cool, icy man, trust
worthy" Dudley, and somebody calling
himself " b. Davis" and two other crea-
tures-Willian n. Tinseley and W. Fay
all known here in Richmond as mem.
bers of the notorious Ferret Club,
sworn to hang Jefferson Davis if possi-
ble These creatures were ordered to
Norfolk by Underwood for the occasion
and to accomplish the purpose. The in
famous deed being accomplished, the
conclave dispersed, with the notice that
they would convene in this city on the
26th proximo, when, doubtless, Mr.. Da-
Wis trial will take place. Since the days
when courts and juries we're first iustitu-
ted. no case on record will excite so much
interest as the trial Of this representative
man of the South The eyes of all the
civilized world viii he turned to that jury
box. The impeachment and trial of
Warren Hastings will fall into utter in
significance in comparison to the inter
est il will excite in the mind of the
world. Many yearning hearts in the
South and abroad will be drawn instinct
lively to him, with the confidence that,
should he be brought to trial by his enc
mics and prosecutors, he will bear him
self as becometh great man and the
late chieftain Of the Confederate States.
We have no fear for the result
As for Wardwell, who is a party to the
finding of the indictment, he was disqual-
fled by his already expressed prejudices
in the case. We heard him declare, not
longer than ten days ago, that if he sat
upon the jury that was to try Jefferson
Davis, he would hang him to the first
tree that would bear his form" Ii is very
clear that these men, composing the
grand jury of this court, assembled with
malice aforethought, and brought in the
indictment as a matter of course
