Mr.. DAVIS Nor TO BE ADMITTED
TO BA1L.-The Washington cores
pondent of the st. Louis Republi-
can, telegraphed on the 18th as fol-
lows:
1t is intimated that it was fully
decided in Cabinet to-day that JEFF
ferson Davis should neither be bail
ed nor paroled. This is supposed
to end the matter.
Another dispatch of the same date
says:
The following is Judge Under
woods decision in full, as laid be-
fore the President, on the applica-
tion oe counsel for the release of
Jeff. Davis on bail. 1t contains
some points not published.
Judge Underwood said: 81 have
considered the application made by
Mr.. Shea (counseD to admit jeff.
Davis to bail. Under the circum-
stances the application might have
been more properly made to me
whom recently holding the Circuit
Court at Richmond. But under the
law it may, doubtless, be made also
in vacation, and l will briefly state
my views of it and my conclusions.
In the States which were in active
rebellion military jurisdiction is still
exercised and martial law enforced.
The civil aithorities-State and
Federal-have been required or per-
mitted to resume partially their re-
spective functions, but the Presi-
dent, as the Commander-in Chief,
still controls their action so far as
he thinks such control is necessary
to pacifcation and restoration. In
holding the District and Circuit
Courts of Virginia, / have uniform
ly recognized this condition. JEFF
ferson Davis was arrested under a
proclamation of the President, char
ring him with completely in the as.
q ssassination of the late President
Lincoln. He has been held ever
since. and is now held, as a military
prisoner. He is not and never has
been in the custody of the Marsha
for the District of Virginia, and he
| IL not therefore in the power OF the
Court. While this condition re-
mains no proposition for bail can be
properly entertained, and l 40 no.

What requiem WORTHY shall in music rise

To fill through time the over-arching skies,
And wake his country's heart and dew

With tears for Truth, upon her affairs slain,
And crowned Virtue dying far from FREQ

As Eiobe's shall be thy country's tongue
Der her slain sons and heroes chariot

Her Tyre upon the willows rest unstrung,
Her pallid cheek be with thy name not

With burning glory and with conscious con-

That thou of her vast born, and, for her,
exiled, died

A patriot martyred, dying like our altar's

In Honor's gorgeous high uplifted seat

Tennessee is swift to move in the
matter of the ratification ofthe Con-
stitutional Amendment. The Gov
ernor has issued his proclamation
convening the Legislature on the
4th of July. The proclamation ar
CUES, with impudent disregard to
public sentiment, well known and
fully recognized by the Governor,
that the terms of the amendment
are as good as the people Deserve
The wretch knows very well that If
that amendment was put to q vote
of the people it would be over
whelmingly defeated. But the mass
es have been disfranchised, and q
mere squad of men, subservient to
Radical interest, and ready to coIn-
nit any enormity upon popular
rights whenever their unscrupulous
master utters the command, lord it
over their betters, and direct and
control the political destinies of the
State. It's an cxaspcrating thought
that the State which contains the
ashes of two Presidents, and whose
history is surrounded by so many
patriotic and glorious memories,
should be ruled by such reckless
and unprincipled crew.-Lou'su'He
Courier.
Leading Tennessee men who have
Just arrived here, are very confident
that the Legislature, which has just
been convened, will not adopt the
Constitutional Amendment. They
are very doubtful whether a quorum
can be secured at this season Of the
year. Some of the Radicals are OPP
posed to it on the ground that it is
not extreme enough, and now that
it is known that the President is
opposed to it, defeat is regarded as
certain

PnrpAn1Se Wool FoR the MAR

PREPARING Wool FOR THE MAR
KEr.-The Wool Dealer says; 1t is
very important that wool-growers
should pay more attention to the
order in which their wool is prepar-
ed for market.
In order to insure a quick sale
and extreme market rates, wool
should be well washed and clipped
in seven or ten days after washing,
and put up free from tags.
All buck fieeces, washed or un-
washed. all half-washed, and what
remains two OF three weeks after
washing before it is clipped man
ufacturers viii not purchase except
at one-third discount OF.
Wool-growers cannot pay TOO
much attention to this matter. a
lot of wool well washed and in good
order, always attracts attention oi
buvers. and commands price more
than sufficient TO pay for the extra
care and labor bestowed upon IT.

THE TARITF.-The Tariff bill in
troduced on the 25th is the longest
ever reported, and it's consideration
in the House is likely to last the
whole week, as there are many
points which will occasion discus
sion. Considerable additions have
been made to the free list, but not
to the extent expected by certain in
terests. Extensive changes have
been made in leaving the specific
instead of ad ualorem duties. The
classification of iron is entirely dit
ferent and much more minute than
in the present tariff. The duty on
coffee and tea is unchanged. The
duty on coal is reduced from one dol
lar and twenty-five cents per ton to
fifty cents per ton.
The duties on all kinds Of iron
will be increased from one quarter
to one cent per pound; iron pigs to
nine dollars per ton. Railroad iron,
which now pays seventy cents per
hundred, is raised to one dollar; iron
bars to one and one quarter cents.
The duty on steel of all kinds will
be doubled; on Paris white one and
half cents per pound. The duty
on paper has not been changed, but
the internal revenue. tax has been
taken off. The duties on cheap
wines are very largely increased,
beth on the specific and ad valorem
taxes. The principal fight over 1t
in the House will be on the iron,
steel, lumber and coal clauses. AS
a general thing, the wool growers
and manufacturers seem to be salts
fed with the clause of the bill. The
| Pennsylvania protection lists are
highly dissatisfied, Notwithstanding
the duty on iron is largely increased.

IMPORTANT TO BUTTER AND 5HEEsE
MANuFAoTURERs.- The Commissioners
of Internal Revenue decides that farmers,
as wei as others, who produce cheese to
the annual value of one thousand dollars,
MIST take license ss manufacturers. This
suling will reach large class of farmers
who have supposed themselves exempt
rom license duty. 1t follows that those
who manufacture butter at the same value
(Sl000,) must be subject to like license,

county, New York, on Tuesday of last
week. A daughter of Mr.. Clark Smith
was killed IN her fathers grist mill. She
entered The place with shawl thrown
over her head and shoulders and approach
ing an upright revolving shaft, which was
in rapid motion, payfully put the ends Of
the shawl around it, pressing them down
tightly with her hands. Instantly the
shawl became fastened around the shaft,
and she was drawn up to it and whirled
around with lightning-like swiftness, her
limbs flying out and striking other por-
tons of the mill, by which they were bro
ken and crumbed into shapeless mass
When taken down, life was extinct.

GREAT DAMAGE AT WINDSOR.


The thaw Of last Friday ending in a
rain storm on Saturday, carried off near
ly all the snow, end of course, entirely
spoilt the sleighing. The river broke up
and cleared occupying at this point all %
| Sunday forenoon. uhe river, while the
ice was soius out, rose high, but at this
place II -as not SO high as it has been on
several occasions of late years. The arch
- OF the Sullivan Railroad bridge at this
place were broken off by the passage of
ice, as they have been 10 the same manner
for the last two or three years, rendering
it impossible for trains, and will doubtless
be so for some weeks, which is nearly all
The damage in this place, but farther up
the river the damage has been heavy.
Both the toll and railroad bridges at Wind
sor were swept away. The toll bridge
went first and struck the railroad bridge,
carried off about two.thirds of it leaving
one span on the western shore which still
remains. Above Windsor the railroads
have suffered much. At Windsor large
number of sheep were drowned, 200 of
which belonged to Hon. VIM. M. Evarts
of New York, and number of cows and
young cattle were also drowned. We
hear that one man alone lost four cows.
One man lost the only COW he had which
was valuable one, and his neighbors have
already generously contributed some SIS
to make up his loss. AT Claremont john
Lowell lost l64 sheep valued at five dol
lars each. He also lost two cows and two
young cattle, drowned by the sudden in
undation during Saturday night, The un-
usual height of water at Windsor was
caused by the ice forming dam aud many
barns were thus suddenly submerged, and
the water rose nearly three feet higher
than was ever known there before.
The Windsor railroad bridge passed
this place about half past eleven o'clock,
three different pieces Of which foated
smoothly on the surface till they reached
the rapids over the Falls, when they of
course were smashed to pieces. The track
of the railroad remained the same as when
1t started from Windsor, and one piece
with some two or three lengths Of rail, all
dry, had barrel standing on it as straight
as pickersl. The poor barrel has not
been heard from since its fearful plung e
into the Falls--a scene which with many
Others we happened to have an opportunity
to view. The debris Of the bridge which
did not previously lodge, reached Brattle-
boro at about half past four O'Clock Sun
day afternoon. A ferry boat has been
put on at Windsor and the trains are be.
ginning to run again with their accustom-
ed regularity, excepting they are on later
time. re
