We end the following in the cores
poudeuce Of the Buffalo Express :.
We left Montreal yesterday for TIM
place, and as we entered the car and 100,
our seat. we saw face opposite which
looked hatefuIly fsmilisr-two men 10
cling two ladies. their travelling compa1'
ions. The face we speak OF is one which
once seen cannot easily be forgoiteu. a
grim emsciated face, with eyes cold.
s,onv and cruel. IL was JEFF. Davis.
9TH his wife and two friends on their
w., N attend the ''commencemenr Of
,hs .eminsry at Lennoxville. on the e.
r. road. where their children ere being
educated.
Mr.. Davis appeared to be in the best
of spirits in fact. we fancied the pres.
ence of that smiIk OF satisfaction which

escaped their tolls. Bnt little notice was
taken of this notorious parsonage until
our arrival ct .Sherbrooke. . station Q
few miles west of Lennoxville. There
the news Of hia approaching advent had
been herslded days before. As We reached
the station, crowds Of men. in white
shoes, with fiery red faces and d'ming
side whiskers. were seen trooPing down
toward the depot, and with such precipi-
fancy as to scatter their HIS promiscu-
ously behind them. ''Jef. Davis /! JEFF.
Davis !". beloved the mob, intent on
getting q glimpse Of his amieable visags
from the car window. Failing in that,
the mob entered the car in two detach.
ments, each entering simultaneously the
opposite end, and thus blocking each
Others way. and producing a scene Of
confusion. much easier imagined than de.
scribed. At last few leaders Of the
rabble. distinguishable by a more fervid
glow in their puffy cheeks. and . more
generous development Of the side wbis
kers. urged their way up TO JEFF. and after
prolonged salsams and EXPIRE sions, such
as "Appy to see you. Mr.. Davis" "Ow
is your 'ealth ?" DC, prevailed upon
him TO show himself on the rear platform
of the car, and address a few words to
the gaping crowd. His appearance was
the signal for three lusty cheers. The
speech was a mere formal expression Of
his thanks-wishes for their happiness
aud prosperity congratulations on the
Confederation scheme-a hope thst the
Provinces would always be independent.
except of the tie that bound them TO the
snother country. &c.
Its conclusion was greeted with another
round of Cheers. and the departure of the
train with still another. Had JEFF. Da.
Wis been the savior of their country.
those friendly Canadians could scarcely
have been more demonstrative in their
veneration and enthusiasm. Indeed. the
toadyism. sycophsntic spirit manifested
BY the leaders was nanseating in the
ex.rame. The two or three Americans
on board the train could scarcely restrain
an expression Of their disgust aud indig-
nation.

distant from the arch rebel. We sought /
him out. and 'ound that he hailed from

of similar honors. He relieved us of his
presence at this point. getting into o

Ieins. He was driven of anil load hur-

asst number of Harper's Monthly con-
aims an article. "a stage trip to Colors-

Indians. He recommends that war
bould be made on the Indians in the
pring, when they are in their villages.

The Indian of the plains is cowardly
