PROPOSALS FOR A GENERAL JAIL DE
LIVERY.

MIR. Jefferson Davis regarded as sol
dier-ls a deserter-regarded as citizen
is rebel against his country, his guilt
in both cases being Of popular aggrava-
ton. For two years he has been held
in confinement for his military crimes,
liable TO trial by court martial but on
the 18th Of this present month he was
released from his military confinement
and handed over to the civil powers.
His crime as de,erter was bad enough.
He deserted his flag and employed the
skill and science as a soldier which his
country had aided him to obtain in bis
effort to destroy her, and gave such aid
and comfort to her enemies as no other
deserter In all her military history had
done; and yet, without so much as a
word of reproof, was be remitted from
confinement, What soldier hereafter
can be punished for deserlion in the
American army with this fatal precedent
established What soldier can ever de>
serve punishment if this man does not :?
If the principle op which the military
authorities of the United States passed
by the crimes of Col. Davis be true, must
it not end for ever military discipline?
But great as was hiS guilt as a deserter,
his crime as a rebel had features OF even
greater malignancy and atrocl,y Plac,
ed in the highest seat in the councils OF
bis country, and prominent in the direc-
ton OF her government, this man plotted

struction, He was not an insurgent
goaded to forcible resistance to unjust
oppression, but deliberate conspirator
who long contemplated and long plan.

will SO regard him.
But, strange to say, this rebel was not
detained prisoner by the civil authors
ties ofthe land so much as an hour! No
sooner was he relieved from military re.
straint and made amenable to the law of
the land than haste was made immedi-
ately to discharge him. His first ap-
pearance In court Of justice after his
bloody work of treason had been done
was rather in the character OF hero than
criminal. The Judge OF the United
States who presided, thinking the occa,
sion one of unusual Importance from the
presence of such distinguished men as
sembled on the occasion, commanded
that the ordinary routine of the opening
OF his court should be omitted, thus dis
pensing as it were, with even the for.
mality OF justice. Crowds OF enthusias-
tic admirers awaited his arrival, and, in
the very temple Of Justice, the arch-
criminal was received with plaudits and
congratulations.
Not to his political friends was confn.

IF YOU WANT A KISS, TAKE 1T.

There's jolly Saxon proverb
That pretty much like this,
That man shalt In heaven
When he has a womans kiss;
But there's danger in delaying
And the sweetness may forsakcit;
So tell YOU bashful lover,
If You want kiss why take It.
Never let another fellow
Steal march on youin this
Never leta laughing maiden
See you spelling for kiss;
There's royal way to kissing,
And the jolly ones who make It
Have IA motto that Is winning
If you want kiss, why take II.
Any fosl may face cannon;
Anybody wear q crown,
But man must win a woman,
If he'd have her for his own;
Would you have the golden apple,
You must find the tree and shake 1t;
If the thingis worth the having,
And you want kiss, why take 1t.
Who would burn upona DESERT
With forest smiling by3
Who would give his sunny summer
Fora bleak and wntry sky'
Oh! Itcll you ia ere is magic,
And you cannot cannot break Ii;
For the sweetest part of loving
Is to want kiss, and tako II.

opollzed by the blacks. The New Orleans
Picayane declares that 'indolence and
worthlessness has taken possession Of
thousands of white men in the South,
since the close of the war threw them
out of employment. Men, who previous
to the war were industriously employed
in agricultural pursuits, and content
with the respectable independence Of a
