How a PardOned Rebel Talks.

Now that the President has par
,doned oil persons who took part
in the rebellion, and relieved them
lof pains,and penalties, some OF the
uuregenerated leaders begin 10
talk in the ancient and high. toned
style that marked their conversa.
tion and speeches during the war
General Jubal Early writes from
his retreat ia Canada West to
Virginia friend, that be regards
the proclamation of A. ], las
final acknowledgment by the Unit
cd States, in all its departments,
of its inability to hold any of as re-
SponSiJle, under the Constitution and
lars as they ,cers, for our resistance
to its usurpdtiOnS." Taking this
comfortable view oft, and with
out accepting it as a pardon for of. |
feRSes," the hoary old traitor thinks
he can return to his country with.
out o compromise of principles,
and announces bis determination to |
do so. t45 sY,3aas4 /
l In the same connection be speaks
Of having justreturned from a visit
to General John G Breckenridge,
who will start forthe United States
about the same time as himself. Il
Breckinridge, doubtless, holds the
same opinion as Jubal, and con-
eludes because the Government
prefers, at this time, to pardon
rather than punish, therefore it
dare not punish, no punishable OF.

any of those who engaged in levy

This lays, the foundation of q

against the Government at some

in the rebellion committed no.
crime or offense known TO the Con.

every principle of equity, this

Though tits rather late in the
day to undertake it, yet, if it is to
be considered that because none Of
the rebels have been tried, con.

sort Of talk should adponisb Con-

Ten per cent.

The moneyed men and the mon.
ey.lendGrs Of tho State have il very
comfortably settled among them
selves that an act legalizing 10 per
cent. interest would be a vastly
benefcent measure. Tho laboring
people, the renters Of houses, and all
the largo class Of small business
men, whether borrowers or not,
are not doing much talking as yet,
but we suspect they are keeping
up q Id Of q thinking" about
how the legalization of 10 per
cont. is going to affect their multi.
farious interests. Legislators may
miss it in taking it for granted
that "silence gives consent" in all

The case of the Young Girl Near
Buriington-A Number of Nil.
rdukee Medical Men Visit .Hrr
From the Milwaukee Wisconsin,
A number of our city physicians
went out to Burlington yesterday,
TO investigate tho case of a child
which for twenty days has been in
trance. Tho case is pronounced
one of'the most remarkable that
ever camo under the notice of the
medical faculty, and there is little
wonder that il creates something
OF D sensation.
A little daughter, twelve years
Of age, named Nina, Of Christian
Ruusch, u German farmer, living
about one and u halt miles from
Burlington, Racine County, in this
State. had u severe attack of meas
les and diphtheria. Sho had
nearly recovered from these on the
Slh OF January, whom she called
her father to her bedside, and told
him she was going to sleep, and
that she should sIcep for u long,
long timo. She said she should
look as though shc wero dead, but
she should not DO dead; and she
made tho father promise that he
would not bury her, which promise,
it may readily bo supposed, has
been faithfully kept. Soon after
making tho request, the child, to
all appearances, sank quietly and
peacefully into her last sleep BY
alI it was supposed Nina was dead,
and tho body was cnshrouded and
placed in the coffin, After the sleep
The body showed no sign OF death,
although the pulse and tho heart
ceased to perform their pulsations,
aud no device could show that the
respiratory organs were in use.--
The eyes closed. sa "-h
In this state Nina has lain now
Tor twenty days without a sign of
death, other than n sinking of
ofcheeks and eyes, which would bo
natural with ono who had tasted so
long u period.
Three days ago vein was tap
ped and blood flowed as naturally
us it wouldih n living person. A
blister raised on the flesh precisely
as it would on that Of one alive
A neighbm of Mr.. Rausch told our
reporter that ho had pressed q
fngcr on tho hand of the girl =
llcr flesh was solid and upon talk.
ing away tho finger, tho spot was
whito. In a few seconds the color
came again, precisely as it would
il the flesh of n living person were
pressed in tho same manner.
Under those circumstances it is
reasonable for parents and friends
10 believe that the child lies in n
trance, and there is littlo wondor
that tho case is attracting so much
attention among the medical fac
'ulty. II twill be watched carefully
to tho end, and with interest. A
large number Of persons have visit.
ed the house OF Mr.. Rausch, and all
express themselves as lost in won
der and amazoment at this strik-
ingly strange affair. nH
