One-third Of the block, suitable for build

NASHVILLE. May 2y.-Andrew J. kel-
lar, editor OF the Memphis Avalanche, who
arrived here to-day, states thHt Jefferson
Davis has written letter to Wade Hampton
declaring for Horace Greeley. Davis also
adds that the Democratic party would act
unwisely to make nominations at Baltimore.
As a man, Davis could not refuse to support
Greeley, for his kindness when under trying
circumstances.
The opinion at Memphis to this extent
sistsins Davis, but it is said that as Alex. ii.
Stevens and Davis have always disagreed, it
follows that Stevens opposes Greeley, Davis
therefore supports him. and finally the old
leaders zee the folly Of "nosing the public
opinion, and are unable lead, must fol
low, willingly or unwillingly.

An Old Plea In . New Place.

We have nowadays, as a general rule, in
our courts OF justice, the plea OF insanity
entered in mitigation Of murder. That We
have come alwaysto expect. There is, in
these latter glorious days, no such thing As
murder in cold blood. At the smallest, Hin.
cipient mania" il the excuse when q man or
a woman pursues another, puts a pistol to
his breast. and shoots him like dog.
But in New York they are making a new
use of the old plea, and We may expec, that
i, will soon be everywhere used. A man
has jus, been acquitted on charge of adul-
terry, on the plea, sustained b. the court, that
he was insane when he performed the act Of
which he Vas accused. Very likely he Wa;
certainly the plea il better IN the new case
than the old, and We may look for general
following of the line Of argument 70 success
fully made in this specific case, and hence
