Nm. Rooms o. run New Rsceussnpc-
flox BrLl.-Mr. Rogers, Of New Jersey,
made ! speech 10 0eorsstowp, D. O, on
Saturday last. He said I .ss sssr, q
"If the people Of the South have the
backbone that have, before they will sub
NIT to . military despotism they WIN raise
regiments again, and march for freedom, !"
He abused shs negro, expressed his strong
sympathy with the Democratic party, dis
cussed the subject of State rights, and
rsved against the Radical majority In Con-
gress, denouncing Il in unmeasured terms.
In urging resistance to free suffrage he said
substantially that this Government had
been founded By white men exclusively for
whites, and that Il was the duty Of the De-
mocratic party 70 support those principles
though II took blood from their veins and
gave rise TO another vail Of sorrow through
the land. Rather than see the negroes
taking part IN the government Of the
country he would prefer to sect shattered
- by an earthquake, and oil nations
gathered TO witness Its ruin. He might be
elected to Congress again, and inquired
whether he would not deserve the sympa.
thy Of the people were he compelled to
sit in the halls Of Congress side by side
with negro members from the South /?

speech.

A VISIT TO THE "STEBS STATEsXAE."
A correspondent Of the Philadelphia In
qnirer, writing from Norfolk under date Of
February 18th, says:
have been to Fortress Monroe to gaze
upon the stern statesman" Mr.. Davis
looks very we'll, which is not difficult to
account for, as he is in q place proverbial
for Its salubrity, is free from allrestrictions
within vast enclosure, enjoying the most
expensive luxuries, and making money by
doing nothing faster than he could do it by
any amount of labor. Formerly the let
tiers to him were examined, and when &C.
neral Miles was relieved from the COM
mand of the fort, over twenty-five thousand
dollars had been received in contributions
from the faithful to the false god of their
idolatry.
These evidences were not, at the time Of
their receipt, handed over to Mr.. Davis,
but are, without doubt, held as his pro-
perty, even If the greater leniency since
exhibited in all other respects may not
already have occasioned them to be handed
over. But however this is, for long time
past the illustrious prisoner has received
all letters anu packages without examine
ton; and as their number and bulk has
not diminished, itSis probable that he Is at
this moment enjoying as good an income as
the President Of the United States. On
Christmas day there arrived an amount of
presents which nearly broke down the re-
sources of two express companies. 1t is
curious fact that many Of these presents
came from Boston. III.
Mr.. Davis, being only bound by parole,
is quartered in part of the fort SO OBJ
viously insecure that he could at any time
escape. This suggests the idea that some
authorities, properly estimating the value
of secesh paroles, as shown by many late
examples, have hit upon that expedient-i.
e., escape, as q means Of getting rid Of the
F" white elephants; but jeff will not be
likely to leave . position where be is so
well of, besides undergoing retirement
from the throne Of very cheap and easy
martyrdom.

CONGRESS- AND THE PREsIDENT,-It is
c,ceded by all parties now that if the
Pnsident confines himself to gsod-tem-
pesd, dgnified objection to such parts Of
hebill as he especially takes exception to,
posts out such features, if any, as he
coui possibly favor in another shape, and
cop,ludes by some indication or assurance
that should the bill be passed by Congress
over the veto, its provisions shall be faith
fully executed, so far as the President has
any duties to perform under the act, the
message will be productive Of the very
best feeling towards him, and will be almost
or quite as satisfactory to the Conservative
and possibly the Radicals, as
4s unqualified approval of the measure.
In fact, there is almost entire coinci-
euce of opinion upon the course that
uouId be pursued by Mr.. johnson, aud
81 agree that he could not be expected to
give the bill his signature consistently
Nth his honest convictions. No one,
@erefore, demands from him anything
t,e but a veto message, but all coincide
j, the hope that the document will be of
Il. character have indicated.-Telegram

GOVERNOR SwANN-HoN. REyERDY JOHN

GOVERNOR SwANN-HoN. REyERDY JOHN
SoN-SINGULAR RuNoRs.-The Baltimore
gazette of yesterday says:
alt is reported that Governor Swami
has reconsidered his determination to re-
sign the gubernatorial chair, and will, on
the contrary, decline the place in the
United States Senate to which he was
lately elected. If this be true, 1t is ex-
tremely probable that Mr.. Swami has good
reason to suppose that the Senate will
refuse him the seat to which he is entitled.
There is another rumor to the effect that
the Hon. Reverdy johnson has had an in
tcryiew with the President, and has strongly
urged him to sign the atrocious bill which
lately passed both Houses, and which, If
it goes into operation, will reduce the
southern people to condition Of political
servitude compared with which the state
Of the inhabitants Of Turkey is perfect
freedom. We cannot vouch for the truth
Of these reports, but they seem to be suf-
fceptly well authenticated to Justify as in
giving them for what they are WORTH"

WHAT THE PRESIDENT WILL Do-OFFI-
crAL.-The National Republican Of yester-
day says:
"If any misunderstanding Radicals sup
pose that President johnson intends to
" pocket" the military reconstruction bill
which reached him on Friday evening
last, they will find themselves very much
mistaken. He is no such q man. He will
not allow il to be said that he INSTRUCTED
the great work Of reconstruction in that
wav. The two Houses of Congress will
have an opportunity of making the bill q
law. Notwithstanding it is clearly uncon-
si,utional in many OF its provisions. Ifit
becomes law-if that is the best that the
Thirty-ninth Congress can produce after
laboring for two years-the President will
do the best he can with it. He will exc
,rte it, and, il possible, will bring har-
nony out of the present national chaos,
trough its agency, unless prevented by
ts constitutional interference and check
that august and eyer-to-be-respected
ordinate branch Of the Government, the
Spreme Court of the United States. We
hre no doubt that the President will re-
TN the reconstruction bill to Congress at
tie earliest possible moment"

CoNFIscATIoN.-A Washington letter in
..hc Baltimore Gazette says that bill has
been prepared providing for extensive con-
tiscations Of southern landed estates. The
idea that the " military bill is the crown
ing enormity, that it contains the ultima
tum of the Radicals, that it is intended as
a fnality, is openly derided by all promi-
nent members of the dominant party, adds
the same letter. They say they have APP
piled the entering wedge their ulti-
mate design is TO seize upon every inch Of
southern soil. / understand that the con-
fscaton bill have alluded to was seen by
Mr.. Johnson, your senator, and that this
knowledge of the existence of such pro-
ject is alleged by him in palliation Of his
vote upon the military bill.

and penetrated thirteen one-inch planks
placed side by side. The Joslyn swinging
breech gun fred ninety nine balls in eight

trated eleven planks. The Joslyn cap gun

FALL OF TABLE RoCK.-So much Of table
rock at Niagara Falls as had been left by
the fall Of seven years ago tumbled with
loud crash into the river on Wednesday
morning. The accident is attributed to
the sudden expansion and contraction
caused by the recent change Of weather
and the prolonged thaws. There is said to
be much grief among the denizens Of that
locality, as table rock was the source Of
much profit to them. The many strangers
who have been taken in" by the sharp
ers on the Canadian side will derive some
satisfaction from their discontinue, while
they may regret the loss of one Of the OBJ
jects that lent interest to the scene.-Nep
