s entire strength, from the circumstance of its having at home a body of tillers who were fit for nothing else but to till the soil, whereas the North could not subtract more than a certain portion of its population from agriculture — that the South held in its hands the great maple which commanded the commerce of the world, and which it was impossible to substitute from any quarter — that the South had no cause to dread the rivalry of India, as the New York Times had foolishly asserted. Jeff. Davis and the Southern Government underwent every morning the infliction of that nauseous flattery which seems as natural to the Herald as its slaver is to the boa constrictor, and is about as tolerable to its victim. There were no statesmen like the Southern statesmen — there was no wisdom like the wisdom of the Southern Government.--We were never among the number of those who placed any confidence in the affected zeal of Bennett for the South. We distrust Northern men with Southern principl<

ated for a time as engineer in Gen. Wise's column, where he was looked upon with distrust, returned to this city, and again made an effort to attach himself to our Western forces: "A person calling himself Col. Adler, and who had represented himself as having been a Hungarian officer, came in the full uniform of a Colonel in the Confederate service, into the camp of the infantry and artillery of the Wise Legion, commanded by Col.Hen. at Degwood Gap. He claimed to have been sent by President Davis to Gen. Floyd. As it had been recently ascertained that he was an arrant impostor, being really as illiterate German Jew, and as he was strongly suspected of being a spy, he was asked for his pass or commission. Having none to show, he was sent in custody to Gen. Wise's headquarters. Gen. Wise having examined his papers sent him back under guard to the camp, with orders to forward him a prisoner to Richmond. Whilst waiting the arrival of the stage on Saturday morning, the the unfor

Napoleonic in many more ways than one. The Herald remarks, editorially: The information as to the death of Jefferson Davis accumulates to an extent that leaves little doubt of his decease. Special dispatches from Louisville, Ky., were recespondents in Washington yesterday, confirming the news. Intelligence had reached Louisville from Fortress Monroe that Mr. Davis was dead, and that the rebel flags in that vicinity had been flying at half-mast for the past two or three days. Partie of Nashville, that the rebel Congress, which had adjourned on that night in consequence of the precarious condition of Mr. Davis, has since been called together by Mr. Stephens, the Vice President. All these facts tend strongly to confirm the rumor of the decease of Mr. Davis.

rged.--James Finnegan, arrested for being drunk and lying on a sidewalk, was discharged.--Daniel Ryan was also discharged. His offence was similar to that of Finnegan.--Martin Connelly, a drunken and disorderly soldier, was committed to jail to await the orders of his officers.--William, a slave of Daniel Trueheart, was sentenced to be whipped for resisting an officer who ordered him to stop smoking in the streets.--The case of Riddell and Smith, charged with stealing a horse and buggy from Davis & Hutcheson, was continued to Thursday. One of the accused, Riddell, having produced a witness who saw him get into the buggy some time after it was stolen, was admitted to bail in $150 for his appearance Thursday.--The case of the same Smith, for assault and battery upon Julia Selden, was continued to this morning.--Eleven negro boys were ordered to be switched with willows, and several white boys' parents were fined $1 each, for that the said boys, white and black, had been engaged in a f

Privateering. --The Charleston Mercury, in an article announcing the arrival there of Capt. Coxetter, of the wrecked privateer Jeff. Davis, says: The number of vessels taken or destroyed by the privateer brig Jeff Davis is considerable, and Capt. Coxetter has earned the title of "the Paul Jones of the war of 1861. " We feel sure he will soon be afloat again, and then if any Yankee skippers are left on the ocean, (and, by the way, the Captain reports them "getting searce,") they had better look sharp for the Jeff.
