to rise steadily at this point with five feet
ten inches in the channel by the marks this

the Allegheny, as the Monongahela as yet
has risen but slightly; it is thought, how
ever, that there will be a rise in the latter

New York, June 1t was rumored last
night that JEFF. Davis had been or was TO
be baled but the report could not then
be traced TO a reliable source. To-day,
however, it is repeated, and the names Of
Horace Greeley, Augusta Schell, and HOr-
ace f. Clarke, Of New York, and several {
others, are mentioned in that connection. !
1t is certain that they are now in Wash
ington, and at least one of them has beea a
in search of Judge Underwood, who ar o.
rived here several days ago but it has not
become publicly known whether the effort n
to find him has been successful.
Judge Underwood is a district Judge of
the circuit presided over by Chief Justice
Chase, and hence it is said an appeal will
be made to both to act concurrently in the
matter of bail, and that five gentlemen are Of
ready to bond themselves in the sum of Il
$4,000 each for his appearance at the @
next term of the court in Richmond. jet. | a..
Davis is held as a prisoner of war, not as a u
prisoner of state, as many have supposed.
A writ of habeas corpus, if granted,
would bring him under the control Of the u
courts and release him altogether from n
prison.
In that case the Government would not =
interfere, as it would then be purely a Judi
eial matter, leaving the Court TO determine
whether or not it would release the prisoner
on bail without any interpOsition or consul
tation with the President of the United
States. Itmay be repeated that the Presi
dent has nothing whatever to do with the
question of bail, it being confined to those
who are now seeking to attain that end.
WAsHNGToS, June 1O.-The Mexican
Minister to-day received news from the
City of Mexico from which it appears that

time he would grant leave to any officer
who would like to take service under Maxi
milan in the foreign legion to do so. He
stated that they would be promoted to the
next rank. 1t is said the officers had con-
sultation and decided to decline the over
ture,
