Mr.. Jefferson Davis has written n letter

Mr.. Jefferson Davis has written letter
in which he repcls with warmth the broad
intimation contained in General Shernan's
memoirs" that he Oavis,) was connected
with the plot that resulted in the assassina-
ton of President Lincoln; whilst the story
that when captured he twas travelling with
wagon transportation and had few thous-
and dollars of specie in valse" is thorough
ly exploded. Mr.. Davis also administers a
severe castigation to General Sherman, charg.
ing him with violation of the terms of sur
render accorded to Gen. johnson, and with
a display of uneradicable malignity

A MUTUAL DIsArroTNTMENT- Sioux
Indians, who have been in Washington for
several weeks past, absolutely refuse to move
from the Black Hills, Wyoming territory,
and permit the white man to occupy it I'M
molcstcd Their pcrverscncss has OCCASION
ed no little disappointment among the gov
eminent officials, some of whom doubtless
had made arrangements to seize upon the
best and most valuable lands the moment
the Indians agreed TO give up the country.
The Indians, als,, go away angry and disap-
pointed, on account of not receiving the
money appropriated by the last Congress for
their benefit, provided they moved from the
new Ell Dorado. 4 number of restless ad-
Venturcrs are eager to explore the Black
Hills, in search of gold ana it will doubtless
be impossible for the government troops to
keep them out. In this event the Sioux will
retaliateby attacking the frontier settlements,
and as they number about five thousand
warriors, they will be able to give q great
deal of trouble. There appears, therefore,
to be the promise of a troublesome and OK
pensivc Indian war this summer.

HERMAN THoMAs.-Thc following letter
i'll relation to this gallant citizen of Hartford,
who lost his life in the Mexican war, is pub.
lished in the Baltimore Gazette of Monday:
In the sketch Of Colonel S. S. Mills which
appeared in to-days Gazetto, it is stated that
he brought from Mexico the remains of Ger.
tain officers killed during the war with that
country, among them the remains of Lieu
tenant Herman Stump, of Hartford county.
This Is evidently mistake, as no person
of that name from Hartford served during
the war. The remains, however, of Mr.. Her.
man Thomas, of thar county, were brought
on and inferred at the old Spesutic Church,
and he was no doubt the soldier meant in
your sketch. Hc served in McCulloch's
Rangers rs II private, and was MORALLY
wounded while slorming the Bishops palace
at Monterey. He and Captain Gillispie
(who commanded company of TeXans) icll
at the same moment, being some distance
ahead OF their companions, in the noble ri.
vary of being the first to enter the works.
| have often heard old Texans who were in
the war speak of Mr. Thomas GOODNESS and
conspicuous daring shown on many other oc.
casiOns. lie was brother of the late Colo
mel Oliver Ii. Thomas, who during the recent
war between the States rendered such eff
cicnt service as staff officer in General
James j. Archer's Brigade. G. WA.

Democratic convention of Baltimore city,
on Wednesday elected twenty-one dele

A DEAF AND DUMB SOMNAMBU-
LIST.

The Delevan Republican of last Thurs
day contains the following in relation to
an almost fatal accident which befel
Henry Poh, whose father resids within
a few miles of this city:
''Somnanbulism was put in fearful
practice Monday evening last by one of
the mute lads, pupil at the Deaf and
Dumb Institute, by the name of Henry
Poh. He is bright, strong young man
of sixteen years, and his sleep-walking
heretofore has attracted no special atten-
ton. But on the evening mentioned.
he had stated that he could take such a
leap as he afterwards took.
Some time between the hours of elev-
en- and twelve he arose from his bed in
the upper dormitory of the west wing of
the building, climbed through small
window to the roof of the building that
joins the west CD to the main building,
a height of some forty feet; from here
he either walked off or jumped off the
north side to the ground, aighting on
sidewalk, breaking the boards in several
places, apparently where his feet, knees
and head struck the boards of the walk.
Then he picked himself no and went
uiot-Aio VIC " 0iIS 1IOut StOOP,
where he was soon found by Edgar
Fiske, the night Waterman. He pre-
sented horrible appearance, but was
taken care of, when it was found that no
bones were broken, but his feet, knees,
left elbow, and head were bruised. He
says it did not hurt him much, and will
soon be out as usual. In examining the
sidewalk, hair was found In one place,
thus showing how narrow was the es-
cape. The boards giving way under
his feet, elbow and head. eased the
conclusion as he struck, but if he had
alighted few inches north OF south of
the walk, the result must hive been
fatal
LATER.--Reports show the 5oung man
was hurt more seriously than apparent
at first, and now lies in E. critical condi-
tion. He is receiving the kindest of
care and attention. and hopes of his re-
covery are strongly entertained by the
attending physician
