RIVER IMPRovEMESrs.-Ata meeting held
by the Quincy Board of Trade at their rooms
on Thursday evening last, q resolution wae
passed requesting our Senators in Congress
and Representative from this District, to use
their influence in obtaining just and liberal
appropriation for the improvement Of the
Mississippi river. This is move in the
right direction, and we are glad to see tina,
our citizens are aliye TO the importance 81
adopting such measures As will bring to the
notice Of our representatives in Congress- the
necessity of immediate appropriations for the
improvement of the Mississippi river. It !,
shame that the interest Of the great VALLEY
Of the Mississippi has been 30 long neglected
| by the general government. While vast sums
of money have been Appropriated for the im>
provement Of harbors on the seaboard and
| along the lakes, little or no attention has been
paid to the improvements which are 90 much
needed on this river. And the time is com
ing when the people who inhabit the States
bordering on the shores OF this great national
highway will no longer tAmely submit to such
wanton neglect. The Valley Of the Missis.
slppi has become the great centre of the ma
ton, and its voice will be heard, in thunder
tones, demanding justice in view OF the great
Interests involved. Let not our servants at
Washington be deceived in this matter. It
is subject that concerns them almost A
much - i does the people Who are personal.
y identified with the commerce and payira-
ton Of the river. A power aud an influence
Is springing mp in the valley which will com.
mand obedience, and which they, = Wise
statesmen, would do well 70 consider. The
pecpls ny to them that these obstruetiora
which are reproach to humanity Ana : Al.
grace 70 this Republic, must b removed. a
fair and impartial investigation Of The mat.
Ter will show them thattheir demand is besed
upon the eternal Lawn Of Justice and rirht.
and that nothing short Of fall complience
with their demand win every satisfy them.-

Jefferson Davis.

FORTRESS MONROE, May 4.-The intelli.
gencc flashed over the wires and published
in the Norfolk papers Of this morning that
the counsel of JEFF. Davis had obtained o
writ Of hdbedS corpus, directing the com.
manding general OF the fortress TO deliver
the prisoner in Richmond on the 18th inst,
created profound impression among the
citizens Of both Portsmouth and Norfolk.
In Norfolk Davis and his family have
many relations and friends, and great
anxiety was manifested on the streets to
learn the minutest particulars connected
with his release from confinement Mrs.
Davis has been absent on visits to Wash
ington several times during this month,
and went to Baltimore night before last,
intending from thence TO again proceed 10
the capital, and make a final effort, with
the aid Of Mr.. O'Conor and his associate
counsel, in procuring the release Of Mr..
Davis, upon whatever conditions the Gov
ernment might deem proper to offer. Sew.
eral prominent men, both wealthy and po-
litical, have visited Davis in the Fortress
within the past few days, and it was ru-
mored while they were here that their
visits were made in furtherance Of the
wishes Of Mrs. Davis, and her desire to
have their intercession before the authori-
ties at Washington. Davis has been in
Imprisonment in the Fortress nearly two
years, having landed here on the 22d day
Of May, 1865, and arrived on the steamer
William P. Clydea few days previous from
Savannah.
For n year his Imprisonment was Of a
very rigorous character, owing to rumors
Of plans being started to effect his forcible
release from the Fortress. The mode Of
however, has been gradu-
ally released from time to time, until eight
months ago it eliminated in allowing him
far more privileges inside the garrison than
the officers and soldiers themselves enjoy
ed. The guards which surrounded his
quarters day and night were entirely re-
moved, and he was furnished comfortable
apartments in Carroll Hall for the use Of
his family and friends visiting him.
Gen. Burton, who now commands the
Fortress, and has been the custodian of
Mr.. Davis since Maj. Gen. Miles was re.
licyed, is an old army officer Of experience.
He has as yet received no instructions
from the Department at Washington, d.
G., which will guide the course to be pur-
sued by the military auth orities when the
writ arrives; but it seems to be general
opinion here that Davis will be released
without delay, and conveyed to Richmond
and delivered to the United States District
Court at Richmond.

Abolished in the EmDire.

RIO JASETRo, April 8, via LONDON, Muy
4.-Thc Emperor Don Pedro the Second,
of Brazil, with the advice of his Ministe rs,
signed to-day an imperial decree by virtue
Of which slavery is abolished throughout
the Brazilian empire.
This most important executive order is
TO take effect in period of twenty years,
so that no violence will be done to what is
termed the right of property" in the
slaves.
Children of every class born within the
iirnito Of tho empire after this day, the 9th
OF April, arc declared absolutely free by
birth, so that it may be truly said VIC now
inhabita land of freedom, in which industry
and labor will soon find fair reward.
The Government Of Brazil has for many
years past sympathized with the action
taken by the United States Government
in conjunction with some of the great
Powers of Europe for the suppression of
the slave trade on the coast of Africa, and
a few only have elapsed since the Emperor
signed decree prohibiting the importa-
ton of slaves into his dominions.
The issue Of the present decree com.
pletes the work of emancipation in Brazil.
