THE New York -1dcertiser, referring
to the ex-Confederate convention at
birmingham, says, ''the rebel yell re-
sounded, and it is possible the conven-
ton may declare the Union a failure.
The convention did not make such q
declaration, though there are certainly
many people in the North who fear
that the restored Union is a signal fail
ure. But the convention did, with
questionable propriety, appoint COM
mittee to bear TO the G.. \. R. its greet
ings and promising it hospitable re-
ception if it shall hold its next annual
meeting at Atlanta.

Mrs. Davis's Pension Withdrawn.


BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Apl 27.-One of
the sensations ofthe Confederate reunion
being held here is the cold shoulder
which has been given to the widow of
ex-President Davis. One Of the pur-
poses of the association was to see that
each southern State contributed pen
sion of $500 for her support. The COM
mittee in charge of the subject, in re-
porting that the movement be dropped,
stated, that as Mrs. Davis had selected
New York State for her residence, she
thereby lost her identity with the
suthern States. This report was
adopted and Mrs Davis's name will be
stricken from all future consideration.

GREAT SUBTERRANEAN RIvER.-The
alleged discovery of two shoals or
patches of green water in the Gulf Of
Mexico, one ten miles and the other
twenty-five miles from the mouth of
the Mississippi, has caused general in
t"rest, and several sea captains in the
Central American trade declare that
they are bodies of fresh water boiling
up from the bottom of the sea. Capt.
Long, engaged in Central American
trade, declares that it is possible to Sc
cure fresh water in the gulf far out at
SEA. The source of the fresh water
spots is supposed to be the Rocky
Mountains, from which enormous sub
marine rivers flow under Texas. These
subterranean streams have been tapped
at many places by artesian wells, re-
turning bountiful flow of water.

THE CHICAGO division of Coxey's
Army, like that of the famous army of
the Dauphin of France, has woman
to march at its head, but, unlike the
Maid of Orleans, she is married, and
though she rides upon a white horse,
she appears not in armor, but dressed
in white gown. But her soldiers are
not like those of Charles VII and her
cause is not as lust.

neck was broken by the fall and owing
to his heavy weight his head was al

Mr.. ]. II. Greene, of this city, counsel
for the condemned men, yesterday APP
piled to Judge Fauntleroy, of the Court
of Appeals, for a writ of supersedeas,
which was refused, the Judge saying
he could see no good grounds for grant
ing it.
As has been stated, petition was
sent from forty ladies of Manassas pray
ing that the sentence be committed 1t
was as follows: 1.-THE ladies of NIanas-
sas many of them feel that the punish
ment to be visited on Robinson and
White is extreme and beyond what is
visited on men of education and prom
inence who have committed far greater
offenses. We beg of you to commute
their sentence to imprisonment for
life." The reference is evidently to
the Breckenridge case.
