DAVIS TO BE KILLED IF FOUND ON
UNITED STATES SOIL.

A Washington correspondent Of the
Erie (Penn) Dispatch writes as fol-
lows, which he says he can testify to:
When it was found that Davis was
to 20 on bull, a matter which all
here looks upon as virtual discharge,
the excitement of the veteran soldiers
knew no bounds. The result had been
published days before, and half ex-
pecting it, q meeting was privately
called, at which some sixty discharg-
ed soldiers were present, who had
bound themselves sacredly together
under the name Of "Andersonville
League" every member subscribing
to solemn oath that if justice failed
its duty they would take justice in
their own hands.
This brotherhood no man was quail
flied to enter but who had suffered eli.
Their from wounds or Imprisonment in
the rebel pens during the war. 1t now
extends to New York, Philadelphia
and Boston. While the bail was be-
ing arranged at Richmond, on the day
set for the trial, paper was handed
in to Davis,counsel, Charles O'Conner
of New York, warning him Of the ex-
istence of such league, and naming
two men in the court room as mems
bers.
These men were seized as soon as
they left the room on mock charge,
and taken to jail, and were not reIeas>
ed until week after, when Davis was
New York. 1t will be remembered
that Davis arrived at New York dur.
ing the night; that he kept secluded
rs much as possible while at the New
York Hotel, no one being permitted
to have access to his rooms but those
who were personally known to some
one Of the party; that he was sudden
~ removed one night from the hotel
to Brooklyn, whore he remained I'M
til his departure; that he left New
York alone and in diguise for Mon
troal, his party and family following
only when he tolegraphed them Of his
safe arrival. When it is understood
that the brotherhood arc upon his
track, and that he was conscious of it
this strange conduct is easily accounts
for. According to the oath, as long
as he remains upon foreign ground he
is safe; 50 it is hardly probable that he
will again set foot upon the soil Of the
United States, ut least until he feels
easier at mind than at present.

MEN I'M ADVANCE OF THEIR AGE.

A majority of the noble geniuses who
have conferred the greatest dement's
on mankind, have been spit on and
opashed at and branded by the <iom~
inant class Of their contemporaries.
Prophets, discoveries, inventors, mar
tyrs. iIlustrious company gathered
from many times and countries, and
associated in one fellowship of sub
lime genius, heroic devotion, and
tragic fate-history has nothing left
of equal pathos to reveal when It has
shown these men, dreaded, desplsed,
persecuted, outcast, dying, appealing
to after generations to do them the
Justice denied them by their own.--
Nor has posterity proved recreant to
the holy trust They are revered
and celebrated now with an enthusi-
asm in strong contrast with the OBJ
liquy they suffered when alive. And
to enter into sympaty with them Is
an inexpressible comfort TO those
who in latter times are called TO a
kindred experience.
As Heine says, "an equally great
man sees his predecessor far more
significantly than others can. From
single spark Of the traces OF their
earthly glory he recognizes the most
secret act; from single word LETT
behind he penetrates every fold OF
their hearts aud thus the great men
of all times live in mystic brother
hood; across the long centuries they
bow to each other, and gaze other
with significant chances, and their
eyes meet over the graves of buried
races whom they have thrust aside
between, and they understand aud
love each other" 1t is delightful
to notice the geniality with which,
in his Cosmos, the grand old Hum
boldt recognizes his great predecess-
ors in the enterprise of surveying the
universe rs a whole-Strobo, Eratos.

these intellectual peaks looming in

in the New Testament, Jesus on the

with Moses and Elias, it is a beauti>

The harangues of Maur and Murphy
led to great disturbances here within
the last few days. There had been
great excitement, which looked at one
time as fit would lead to serious con-
sequences. At least a hundred thou
sand people were in the streets. The
mob held the city, sacked several
houses, and marched through the
streets, singing, "Glory, Hallelujah!"
"John Brown" and other choruses.
The Riot Act was read, and troops
were ordered to the city from Man
chester, but were not obliged to fire
upon the people. The police used
their cutlasses, and several persons
were wounded. but none killed. The
excitement has somewhat lulled, and
it is thought the disturbance has end
ed.
Murphy has persisted every night in
making long and offensive speeches
against the Roman Catholic Church,
ridiculing its rites. Some attempt to
renew the disorder has been put
down, and comparative quiet now
prevails.

THE Photographic process is now
brought to such perfection, that it
can produce a picture of projectile
the instant it leaves the month of q
gun, and before the recoil has taken
place. The most sensitive cOllodion
must be used to effect this, and in Or
der to have exposure only at the in
slant reqoired, the charge in the gun
is ignited by a galvanic battery
This is done by having small portion
of the conducting wire of platinum
which is placed in contact with the
powder. When the electric current
is sent through the wire, the platinum
becomes red hot and ignites the pow>
der. This very current is sent thro'
a coil Of wire, around core of soft
iron, which thus becomes a magnet,
and lifts the disc in front Of the lens.
The instant the platinum melts, the
current ceases, and, the iron core be,
ing demagnatized, can no longer hold
up the disk. Thus, in much less tlmo
than it could be effected by the hui
man hand, the plate is exposed and
covered; besides the exposure takes
place at the precise instant required

due horse who would not allow his
feet to be landed for the purpose Of

him to follow, and instantly the horse
obeyed, perfectly subdued and as

thus tied made him at once as docile
