Recorder Caskie, who occupies the Mayor's judgment seat during the necessary absence of that official, yesterday ordered twenty-five lashes to be bestowed on William Ira Davis, a King William free negro, for some time past domiciliated in this region, in contravention of law, and who had on his person, at the time of his arrest by the watch, a most dangerous "concealed weapon," in the shape of a long knife, made out of a file blade, capable, from appearances, of doing speedy execution on human and other animals, if properly introduced into the diaphragm.

A speech from the President Elbot. --Gen. Davis was in Jackson, Miss., on Monday evening, on his way to Montgomery. He was received with grand military and civic honors.

Mr. Davis is a statesman of no small ability, as you and the nation know, a great Captain, and above all, an honest and upright man.-- Mr. SMr. Davis is a statesman of no small ability, as you and the nation know, a great Captain, and above all, an honest and upright man.-- Mr. Stephens is what may be called a great man, a wise counsellor, a self-made man, (if any one can be said to be self-made, which I think bad theology,) and whose character is totally without spot or blemish. The government will be, beyond doubt, made up of the best material, and will be energetic and patriotic. You may have seen in the New York Herald, a card, signed by "Capt. J. C., " who imposes himself off as a Captain lately excluded from our school-ship, and who undertakes to give the c
