Hon. Jefferson Davis. A short time ago, Mr. Davis, in p: through the city of Atlanta, was upon by a large" number of citizen? induced to deliver a short speech, words had scarcely fallen from his when the whole Northern Radical is ablaze with indignation, crying Klux, treason, tho rebellion again, an auch stuff.

THE BUENOS AYRES PESTILENCE.-A Correspondent' writes the London Times. auder dale of June 1st : I left Buenos Ayres on thc 14th of April and from thc b< ..'inning of the plague un :.i'.hat date had sad experience of every phase and detail of the calamity. I am, therefore; enabled to spca!; with accuracy :: thc subject. The population- 'ol Buenos Ayres is tbont (from various causes it ia dittieult tc take a census . there) 200,900. Th?: germ of disease was imported from Paraguay and Corrientes early in January. Up tc thc' end of March the whole number ol baths was 20,000. The inhabitants who had the means removed to the country districts, which, without-exception, were, and continue to be, free from -the disorder, as I the accommodations in the little towns of Flores, Belgrano, ?fcc., were comforta ble and decent in every respect, and there ivas an abundance of every class of food, ?xe. There is no mystery as to the cause of [Lis fatal malady in a city populated as stated above, and entirely without the most ordinary sanitary arrangements-no roads, no drainage, almost no pare water, no baths, and a system of cesspools whirl, probably have no parallel in the history of civilization. The climate is, perhaps, the finest in the world, and its beauty lulled 'he people into-a careless security, until the filth and the, crowds of the city were ripe and ready to receive and propagate the' insidious disease. The Indians and natives were the chief sufferers. These people live in a filthy and meagre way, hate soap and water, and do not h now what ventilation means. The malady is now gradually dechning, and doubtless will 'die during the cokd months, from June to October. Meantime, the authorities are taking active measures td make up for their previous neglect, and the wants indicated above .will soon, be supplied. Radical papers quote with unction the folowing alleged extract ff om Jefferson "Davis' sp<?ech: " I am not one W'ho accepts the situation-I accept nothing." The contrast" between rebel-Jefferson Davis and hero Grant in this respect is so stri king, that they can't help noticing it.-N. O. Times. ? uW? THE ADVERTISER. Edgefield, 8. C.?jnne 22, 1871. Death'of VaUandigbam. -.Th is-able man and statesman, who; in ?is time, had done so much to make him self beloved by tho South, is no more. On Friday, the IGth, in the Court room at Lebanon, Ohio, while illustrating tb his fello# 'counsel, in a murder case, the manner in which a person might have shot himself, and while handling the dangerous weapon, he accidentally dis charged it, wounding himself so serious ly in the bowels that he died soon' after. In 1863, while holding -his scat in the Thirty-seventh Congress, he was arrested by the United States authorities tor dis loyalty, and after, trial , was banished South. By way of Bermuda he. escaped to Canada where"h? remained until threi . years after the war. Lately h? had reap peared actively in political life, and as tonished the country-by his famous pre amble and resolutions, introduced at a Democratic meeting at Dayton, Ohio, now universally known as " the new de parture." ---.

On Friday last, the IGth inst., Pius IX Pope of Koine* completed the twenty iiftlx year of his pontificate-tho hrs Bishop who has sat there for so long i period since the days of .St. Peter. Thc Catholic Church throughout the work' celebrated this jubilee with uncommon pomp and splendor, in all the solemnity of its gorgeous and glorious ritual. The history of tho Papacy-so .grand and so fascinating !-covers nineteen cen turies. And that out of these disem bodied centuries wc can to-day touch something living which has passed down unchanged and intact, something that moves among UH and is of tho actual present a? much as ourselves, i< surely cause enough for wonder! And cause enough to'make all other creeds stop to think-to think thai Christ's promise to His apostles ol' unremitting intercom munion is being fulfilled to-day as it was? when the catacombs of Koine were the Christian's house of prayer and the maws of lions and tigers his only certain placo ol' rest ! And cause enough to make all confess that it isas impossible to sepa rato the Popes from the story'of Chris tianity as it would bc the Apostles them selves! And cause enough to make the stern, unyielding, superhuman faith ol the Catholic Church still more immova ble in all its tenets ! Pius -IX is not at all triumphant in worldly matters, but still he has spent the test time of quarter of a century in tho chair of St. Peter. His vi carato has been troubled, hut not more so than that of many of his predecessors. Like many of them, he has been hunted from Koine to be brought back, as was Plus VII, in triumph. He is a simple old man, and yet strong, benevolent and fervently pi ous. The weight of years is upon him. but his smile is calm, and the light in his clear eyes is unsubdued. Awaiting the award of God, to whom he fondlj' ap peals as the guide ol' circumstances, he, . on Friday last, received the congratula tions and sj'mpathies of monarchs and potentates, of prince and peasant, of pc-o .pies and races, with undeviating faith in the final result.

Cable telegrams give vivid ideas of thc pre parations which have been made to grace thc entry of the conquerors ol' the war. A route hus hoed chosen which admits ol' au enormous mun ber of spectators. Some days ago English and American sight seers had already arrived in groat num bers-a suru sign that the spectacle in preparation would be worth seeing. The march is through the Unter den Linden, the great thoroughfarc'of Berlin, an ave nue sixty yards broad, and a mile and a half in length. Triumphal arches adorned with mottoes and statues em blematic of thc war are constructed along tho whole route. All the sovereigns of Germany are there. This gorgeous mili tary spectacle is meant for something more than a sliowy display. It is In tended to commemorate the union in arms and in heart of all the sons and na tions of Germany.

Prince Fred" is a cadet at West Point, and the newspaper correspondents say that, at tho same time he is becomingly reticent on the delicate subject, he rather encourages the belief that the match is really on thc tapis. And so they <run it. And in every conceivable wjay "Prince Fred" and his august father are made ; ridiculous. Ol' thc Princess's immediate forefathers this, il will be remembered, was written.

European News. BERLIN, June IG. . Ajb the triumphal entry of the anny, and inauguration of an equestrian statue of King Frederick William, to-day, the dispfay was grand. The city was throng ed with people. The procession, one of the most magnificent of modern times, was headed by eagles and standards cap tured from the French. After the ad dress of welcome and congratulations, the Emperor, afc the head of a brilliant cortege, rode down the Via Triumphales. The road was strewn with flowers, as he advanced, by hundreds of young girls dressed in white. The procession was mainly composed 'of detachments repre senting every regiment which was en gaged in . th? ?war. "The enthusiasm of the spectators was unbounded. . Upon the unveiling of the statue of Jhis father, Emperor William delivered a speech, and, m closing, he said: ."This monu ment, which was projected in a time of the profoundest peace, now becomes a monument of one of the most brilliant though bloodiest of modern wars.

Then pour off the ju5 cc (pressing the berries) through a colander into an open vessel. Strain again through a flannel bag, and to every gallon of juice add two and a half pound? of good clean sugar. Stir it up well and put into demijohns, filling them entirely. These should be kept full to the brim, and for this purpose a bottleful of tho juice should be reserved, from which the demijohn should bo re plenished daily until fermentation ceases when thewine should be poured oft' in an open vessel and clarified in the fol lowing manner : Wash sand (half a pint will be sufficient for five gallons of wine) until the water will run -clear from it. Beat to tliis the whites of four eggs and stir into the wino. When it has settled, and the Wine looks perfectly clear, pour off carefully into demijohns, putting a piece of muslin inside of the funnel. Cork tightly and set in a cool place where it will not bc disturbed until December or January. A few days before bottling, have the bottles well washed, dried and Sunned. Provide new corks. Have everything in readiness before tht bottling begins, in cluding cement for sealing. Strain the wino again into large pitchers, taking particular care not to turn the demijohn back after beginning to pour from it, as it stirs up thc sediment which is at thc bottom. Cover the inside of thc funnel with a piece of muslin before placing ft in tho mouth of the bottle, and cork' it im mediately, driving the cork in with a wooden malice. Never usc old corks. Seal carefully with cement, and keep in a cold place, with necks of the bottles down. THE HORRIBLE FAMINE IS PERSIA. A correspondent of the.
