Vigilance at Fortress Monroe.
The Herald's Fortress Monroe dispatch
aays the vigilant measures on the part of
the military authorities at Fortress Monroe
instituted in consequence of the rumor of a
plot for the rescue of JEFF. Davis have not
been relaxed, and search of all arriving
vessels still continues. Though no positive
evidence has been furnished that such a
plot really exists, it is considered best to be
prepared for it in case it does. A steam tug
with soldiers nightly patrols the waters Of
the harbor, and passes to the fort are more
closely examined than formerly, having to
undergo the scrutiny of two sets of sentries
instead of one.
Jeff's health continues good and he has
all the comforts allowed him which his
limited quarters will permit.
Weather.

Contradiction.

NEw York, January 13-The Alexandria,
Louisiana, Democrat publishes letter Of
General W. T. Sherman, to friend in Ra-
pides Parish in which he contradicts the
general impression that his appointment as
superintendent of the Louisiana Military
Academy at Alexandria before the war was
due to Bragg or Beauregard. He also con-
troverts the impression that when he left
Louisiana he was not pledged against the
South. He did say at Alexandria that
var wAuld be the inevitable result of seees-
sion.
On the evening his departnra from Nav
Orleans for st. Louis he might have said to
Bragg that he was going North to seek the
military service. He refused to enter the
first volunteer force called out by Lincoln
because he considered the whole South
would become involved in the war, which
he thought could only be handled by vast
army of regular troops. General Sherman
concludes:
I" l wish the South we'll, and as have
been a seourge, then how much better it is
that it was 1 and not Ben. Butler or some
others Of that school"

The wool in the county is still mostly in
the hands of farmers. In the vicinity of
Clarkson, Columbiana and Salem, the past
week wool has been selling at from 65c to
to Gle, mostly at 6Oc. For many of these
clips 65c and 7Oc were refused in shearing
evidence that it is best to
sell in the marketable season.

VERDICT.
New YoRK, January l4-In the Supreme
Court at Newark, New Jersey, a verdict of
$4,000 damages was given against the New
Jersey Railroad Company yesterday, in
favor of James T. West, boy who was run
over and blinded by one of the defendants
trains.
THE CAUSE OF THE MURDER.
The Augusta, Georgia Transcript, one Of
whose editors was on duty with Gen. Mer-
Ger, at the time of the alleged murder of
seven United States soldies, says the men
were not murdered merely for d sertion, but
for conspiracy to murder the Confederate
pickets in order to escape to the Federal
lines.
MODIFICATION.
Letters from London say that the demand
of the French Emperor for a modification
of the English extradition law is creating
some uneasiness. 1t seems that Napoleon
desires the treaty to secure the surrender of
those on English soil who conspire against
the government and life of the Emperor,
and there will probably be a Congress of the
principal European powers to form society
for mutual protection against conspirators
and revolutionists so that any one will be
the enemy of all.
ANOTHER MEETING.
Dispatches from Washington say that the
