The Death of Captain Rufus Choate.

q Rufus Choate, only son of the late Hon. Rufus
Choate, died at Dorchester on the 10th instant.
When our civil war broke out Mr.. Choate was
in the practice of the law in this city, having,
for young man Just starting in his profession
a large chentage. Everything looked prosper
ously for him. There was every inducement-
selhshly speaking-tor him to remain at home
But the echoes from Sumter had scarcely ceased
before he had offered his services to the Govern
ment-" for the war;"
He was determined, to use his own language
ito see the thing through and for this reason,
among others, Joined the I'd Massachusetts, Regi-
ment, which was, we believe, the first in the
country organized for that length OF time Mr..
Choate remained with his regiment till the au-
tumn of 1862 when the disease which attacked
him shortly after he Joined the army compelled
him to resign his commission.
His sufeTings during the last four years have
been almost uninterrupted and almost incredible.
Yet during the whole he showed the same
sweetness of temper the same patience, the
same uncompl plainingness that had always char
acterlzed him, And yet they say l suffer-"
said he, when the horrors OF AndersolVille were
read to him.
The testimony OF his brother officers is unani.
nous as to his wit, his humor, and his uniailing
humanity. When he resigned his commission
one of them wrote, "Choate has left, and with
him goes the life OF the regiment. No more fun
now, but simple duty" Al the battle of Cedar
Mountain he and thee other officers of the same
regiment were so i'll that none but themselves
thought of their taking part in the impending
conflict Not so they however. They were
helped or carried on TO the field. One present
wrote:-"All our officers behaved nobly. Those
who ought to have stayed away wouldn't.
Goodwin, Cary, Choate, and Stephen Perkins
were all quite III, but would not stay away from
the fight. Choate is the onlv one of the four not
killed 1t was splendid to see those sick fellows
walk right up into that shower OF bullets as if
they were so much rain"
The reveille has now sounded for the last of
the noble four, and he has gone TO join his com
Tades and answer to. his name when the roll is
called.-BostOa Traveller.

Jeff. Davis-The Alleged Plot for His
RpsCue.

The Southern account of the alleged plot to
rescue jeff. Davis is given by the Richmond En-
quire' as followsi-
'The Rebel soiourners at Old Point Comfort
most of whom have been engaged there in the
United States Ordnance Department - were
startled and surprised on Sunday morning by
the PRONUNCIATION of an order requiring them to
leave The place. One hour was given them to
depart; and, as no steamer was at hand, they
passed the night at Hampton, and yesterday
morning run the gauntlet to the wharf at Old
Point, and took the steamer to Richmond. They
numbered between forty and fifty men, many Of
whom left their baggage behind IN their hurry.
The agent OF the National Express and Trans
portation Company located at the Point, being
in the Rebel category, unable to bring off his
office property, turned over his keys and the con-
tents of the office generally to the agent Of the
Adams Express Company; who happened TO be
Northern man.
''The reason assigned for this summary order
was report that plot was in progress to res
cue Mr. Davis. Upon what amount of truth
this report was based we have no means OF
ascertaining, as the whole procedure was in
accordance with an order from the War Depart
ment at Washington, which, 1t is to be pre-
sumed acted upon secret evidence, the partcu-
lars of which it has not yet thought proper to
divulge. In pursuance of the details OF the
order, the guard on duty at and around the fort
was trebled and the bridges over the moat were
drawn. The 'eXiles' who reached the city last
night report that the restrictions upon the privi-
leges of Mr.. Davis had been increased, and that
now he was not even permitted to speak to the
lieutenant of the guard placed over him.
''It seems that the alleged plot to rescue Mr..
Davis has been suspected for some days past,
and the sentres had been increased, and strict
surveillance instituted throughout the fortress
and its environs. No vessel arrived without
being searched; not even a canoe or q hshing
smack was permitted to touch the shore with
out being met and inspected by military guard;
