INTERESTING CORRESPONDENTS between Ex-
President Pierce and jefferson Davis:-
The following correspondence was submitted
yesterday to meeting of the Cabinet by Presi-
dent Johnson, with the question, What ac-
tion shall be taken upon it?
FORTRESS MONROE, May g.
Dear Franklin Come on quickly. 1 shall
probably have to leave these quarters next Sat-
urday, and it is important that I should see
you here Truly, JEFFERSON
CONCORD, May7
Dear Jeff.:-pll come right on, only stopping
at Philadelphia, according to our previous un-
derstanding. Yours, FRANKLIN.
AS soon as these dispatches were intercepted,
notice was served on the oflcer at Fortress
Monroe TO detain exPresident Pierce at the
landing, and search his baggage He only had
with him a carpet-bag, which General Bur-
ton conceived could be of no harm, but
why he should stop only in Philadelphia was a
mystery. The bag was opened, however,
cording to order, and then was brought to view
an entire new travelling suit of Spring Cloth
ing from the celebrated Clothing House of
Stokes Co, under the Continental Hotel OF
this city, that the ex.Presdent had, in all pro-
liability, purchased for his friend, and which
had been arranged for at some previous time, as
the kilograms imply. The decision the Cabinet
arrived at was. that if JEFF was disposed to
adopt loyal habits, he should be encouraged.

AwNNGs-WHERE TO GIT THEM.-Now that
we may expect the immediate incoming of the

tions for awnings, with which to shade their
dwellings or places of business. Every store
should be protected by good canvas awning,
every window should have them, manufac-
tured in such neat and substantial style as to
serve for ornament while they cause comfort.

s. Third street and No. 81 S. Sixth street, has
on hand large, substantial, and fine assort-
ment of all the varieties of canvas awnings;

WASHINGTON, June 9-Colonel Pen

has recently called the attention of the
Commissioner Of Peniions to a state
ment which represents that soldiers Of
the war of 1912 or their widows can now
obtain pension of s. per month. The
Commissioner states that such state
ments are wholly unwarranted, no law
having ever been enacted by which PEN
sions are granted to soldiers Of the war
Of 1912 or their widows, except that
which for more than fifty years since
has provided for soldiers widows and
those dying of wounds, etc.

MR. pARTINeroN's OPINION.

Mrs. Partington says that just before
the late war, circumstances were seen
around the moon nightly, shooting stars
perambulated the earth, the desk of the
moon was covered with black spots, like
ink, and comics swept the horizon with
their oper.atic tails Everybody said
that it pronigated war, and sure enough
war did come. Its costiveness was felt
throughout the land, but our brave
soldiers expatriated themselves to bring
the country back to its spear, where,
circumbulating around its own axes, it
makes revolutions by.word.
