Tho New York Times, of Thursday, in publishing a letter from n Hnrt ford paper, thus refers to it and the information it contains: "The opinion has been widely en? tertained that Jefferson Davis is not to bo classed among the original plot? ters of secession, but that ho carno into the movement reluctantly, and only in obedience to the decision of his State. Mr. Greeley embodied this statement in ono of his recent letters. During his trip through New England previous to tho elec? tion of 1860, Davis certainly made strong Union speeches, ana in his speech taking leave of tho United States Senate, he conveyed tho im? pression that ho withdrew only in consequence of the decision of Mis? sissippi to secede. A letter which wc copy from the Hartford Pi-ess, where it is now for the first time published, throws some light on the matter. It seems that before the election of Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Rhett, of South Caro? lina, had written to Davi3, asking bis advice ns to tho best mode of seced? ing-whether by separate State nc tion or through a convention of th( Southern States. In reply, dat?e November 10, 18G0, after ho had be como aware of Mr. Lincoln's elec tion, Mr. Davis discusses tho subject ut some length and advises co-opera tion. He is clearly in favor of seces sion, and of not waiting until tin Government should pass into tb< hands of Mr. Lincoln; but fju chances of success, ho thinks, will bi greater if the Gulf States can bi united in advance, than if South Ca rolina or Mississippi should act fo: themselves. The lotter has somi historical interest ns throwing Ugh on the origin of the rebellion, nm on the degree to which Davis him self may be deemed responsible fo it-but, beyond that, it has no spe cial importance." LET RIOTERS HE ARRESTED.-Undo this head, the National Intelligence has an article, from which we tako th following paragraphs. Speaking o the radical orators, it says: "This method of electioneeriuj must stop forthwith, or a war of race seems absolutely inevitable. If thes ex parte harangners persist, they mus bo arrested. Wo will see which gene ral has the nerve to do his duty wher a little nerve is requisite. A mem.be of Congress has no better light ti incite a negro riot than nny othc person. If his notoriety as a publi mau increases his privileges, so i does his power; and if he uses tim to work mischief, then tho greatc the mischief, the more necessary th remedy. "We observe that, in some of thes incendiary harangues, tho speaker i able to bring himself to tho disgUS ing affectation of extolling 'frc speech.' An audience of men ar >nlled together to hear a speakci distinctly informed that they sha not dissent from him; taunted wit very insult which studious malic fciuld invent for their oxasperntioi and thou contemptuously dared 1 resent it; the principio openly nr< claimed that only ono idea shall t promulgated, nt the risk of ever peril-and such a man, at such time, talks of free speech! It is lil the butcher's tear, in his slaughtc house, with his knife at thc lamb throat.'' A recent work on diamonds at other precious stones says that but small portion of the gems sold ai worn are genuine. Tho diatuoi mines of Golconda aro given oi and those of India ure rapidly failin The scarcity of real gems has be met by tho ingenuity of counlerfe ers, wno manufacture spurious gei that frequently deceive expert ec noisseurs. EngtUlt Vlevrf on ttte Relente of Dlr. Davie. Tho Americans, when they inter? ceded with our Government for the lives of the Fenians convicted in Canada, did cortainly not preach what they wore unprepared to prac? tice. Seo tho conclusion of the war in tho North, though severe on tho Southern community, has given wa}' to no animosities against individuals. No ono has been put to death in America for what the North has de? clared to bo treason; very few have been molested, if they chose to ac? quiesce in the restored rule, and to tnko no part in politics. The leniency of the Government has, however, been carried to its furthest point by tho release, on bail, of Mr. Jefferson Davis, after a captivity of two years. Whether he will ever bo brought to trial seems to bo still uncertain, hut we may nlmost predict that, in any case, the punishment inflicted on him will not be extreme. Wo eau seo that, iu tho caso of America, this is the wisest policy, aud that it is best not to give reuewed rancor to tho ani? mosities of tho South by nuy net of severity. A similar forbearance would havo its good effects iu Ireland, also. [London Times. At Inst, tho ox-Presideut of the lato Confederate States of America hns boen released from his captivity. Jefferson Davis is no longer a pri? soner in Fortress Monroe. Tho tele? gram which conveys this announce? ment explains that tho release is on bail, aud that Mr. Davis is under bonds to appear before tho court iu November next; but it is evident that the intention to bring him to trial has been abandoned. Indeed, his imprisonment has been, for moro than a year past, considered a re? proach to public justice, and the most eminent of thc Republican leaders have not scrupled to denounce the prolonged confinement without trial ns a disgrace to tho country. Tho case, however, was one with which no Government would have found it easy to deal. At the time when tho assassination of Mr. Lin? coln had thrown tho whole country into a frenzy of pussiouato desire for vengeance, and when Mr. Davis was supposed to have instigated thc crime, tho Government might easily have obtained a verdict against him at tho cloie of tho war. Fortunate was it for thc good name of tho Ame? rican people, that difficulties hin? dered such a proceeding till tho pas? sions of tho country had time to cool. [London Telegraph. As IRISH BULL.-We are told that thc Fenians aro to invade Canada. Canada has just been declared a dominion aud set up as a ucw nation, and is, or is soon to bo, practically independent of Great Britain. How, then, is a Fenian invasion of Canada to effect Ireland? Ireland, if she suffers any terrible tyranny, suffers it from England; and how can tho nets of England toward Ireland be changed by tho invasion of a terri? tory on this side of tho Atlantic not subject to English rule, and, of course, not to bc defended by Eng lish money and an English army? Would not a Fenian invasion of independent Canada, with a view to benefit Ireland, be the work of an Irish bull? Iudeed, simple respect for tho Irish intellect must force us to seek some other cause for this pro? posed invasion than the one put forth. Is it a gigantic cover for a system of wholesale smuggling? [New York Herald. REGISTERS OE BANKKITTCY.-Tho Washington Chronicle is authorized to state that Chief Justice Chase has completed, except in four or five cases, his nominations and recom? mendations for registers in bank? ruptcy. Tho whole power of the ap? pointment is with tiiecourts to which his nominations and recommenda? tions Lave been addressed. It is useless, therefore, to address any further communications to the Chief Justice on the subject. ? New York correspondent, in a Louisville paper, says the steamers 1 from New Orleans, Charleston nod ' Savannah, within tho past fortuight, have actually been bringing back ? many thousands of dollars* worth of dry goods and other merchandize, j which wore sold by tho Stewarts and ; Olaflins, last autumn, on six months' : credit, tho purchasers being utterly unable to raise even a part of tho money to pay for them. At a freedmen's meeting in Green? ville, Ala., a few days ugo, William Murphy, a sensible colored man, do- , fined his position in tho following, style, which is a platform good for white or black: "I am in favor of all bauds going to work aud making plenty to eat, and keep less noise; then all will como right. I toll you thc South is the greatest country in the world. I now propose three cheers for tho South." CROPS rs THIS STATB.-A corres? pondent of tho New York Times, writing from this city, says: "A gentleman of intelligence and information, from Newberry District -central in its location-gives me a few facts upon the crop now in thc field. Tho wheat crop is expected to be about ?tho same as that of 1860, and this means, of course, avery fino crop for 1S67. As this grain comes earliest, a good crop is of vast im? portance to our starving State. By tho 20th of June, tho earliest wheat will be in a state to be made available as food. Tho corn crop is expected to average a half; that is, about half as much as that of 1860. With good seasons from tho present time, the farmers expect to moko about enough corn to subsist upon for the ensuing year; and this would bo amply suffi? cient were not a good deal of it, by various expedients of barter and trade, made to meet tho pressing wants of the present time, thus short? ening, to some extent, next year's supply. The cotton crop will also bo about a half of what 1860 produced. Tho gentleman of whom I am speak? ing, gave mo a list uf ten planters of Newberry District, with tho number of bales of cottou they produced in I860 and 1S66 respectively. These ten planters, iu 1860, mado 1,0P2 bales of cotton, and in 1866, they made 225-less than one-fourth. He estimates that they will make at least twice as much this year ns they did in 1866; so that-to recapitulate this gentleman expects his section of this State to mako a full crop of wheat, half a crop of corn, and half a crop of cotton. I have confidence in 1 his judgment, and know his facts to be facts. 1 presume his estimates will not be far wrong, if applied to . tho State at large." ELECTIONEERING DOCUMENTS.-The New York Times gives us tho follow? ing nccount of tho persistency of the radicals to convert thc South by the means of the "poor white" and tho freedmen's vote: "A correspondent of the Philadel? phia Press writes from Alabama that 'the speech of Mr. Stevens, in favor of confiscation, is somehow obtaining a wide circulation' among the negroes and poor whites o? tho South. Of course it is. Copies of that speech have been sent to that class in great numbers by the Congressional Bo publican Committee, of which Mr. Schenck is Chairman. An assess? ment of $20 each was made upon the i Republican members of tho last Con gross, and contributions were invited from other quarters, for the purpose of distributing Republican docu? ments; and a large portion of the funds thus raised hos been devoted to tho circulation, among thc blacks ot" the South, of the confiscation speeches of Mr. Stevens and other speeches of a similar tenor. Agents have been ?sent South to attend to their distri? bution, and to organize thc political movement thus inaugurated. Tho j distinct object at which these men aim, is the consolidation of the black and poor white votes in the South against the mass of the white popula? tion; and tho promise of freo farms by confiscation is relied on ns the lending agency by which this result is to be brought about. That it is a weapon of great potency, no one can doubt. The great body of an ignorant popu? lation, who have nothing, can always be united and influenced by tho pro? mise that the property of others shall be given to them. The Press corres? pondent says he has no doubt that, if the question of confiscation could be submitted to the people of the South, 'a majority both of blacksand whites would vote for it.' " ? ^ ? . THE COMING WHEAT CROP.-The Baltinoro Sun, of Thursday, says: There was exhibited at the Corn and Flour Exchange, yesterday morning. :i small box of earth con? taining tine specimens of the growing ! wheat crop, from Essex County, Va., growing on the farm of /.. S. Far- : land, Esq., as a sp?cimen of what maybe expected in the future from that productive region. The speci- ' mens included the following varieties of red and white wheats: '.Pennsyl? vania Blue Stem," "Early Purple ? Straw," 'Broughton," and "Ge UCSSC0." Tho plants were all vigor? ous, from three and a half to lour feet in height, with heads of a fair average length, and, considering the early season, well filled. Mr. Par land expects to harvest his crop early in June, and to have it in market during tho latter part of the month. The extent of the iron trade of the city of Boston is truly astounding, j Tho Commercial Bulletin says that, in one of tho ten districts of that city, the amount ot iron annually weighed reaches 100,000,000 pounds. Most of tho iron brought there comes from England and Sweden. SPECIAL NOTICES. THE public esteem in which PANK NIN'S HEPATIC BITTERS aro held, ta another proof of their excellence aa a Tonic.

Tho pressure of constant montai or bodily labor upon tho animal powers is tremen? dous. Very few systems audconstitutions can boar up against this pressure unas? sisted.* Add to this tho unhealthy influ? ences which lurk unseen in tho air wc breathe, tho water we drink, thc lassitude produced at this season by tho change from the rigor of winter to thc warmth of spring, and it would seem to require almost superhuman vigor to jkeep in perfect health without reinforcing the physical energies. But how reinforce them? Cer? tainly not with adidteratcd stimulants. There is no poison in tho outer air, or in the atmosphere of furnace-heated rooms, or w?rk-ahops, or factories, so Pernicious as those deadly-burning fluids. \ Why use them, when H?VTE?TER'S STOMACH BITTERS, A vegetable toiilc without alloy, arc avtry where obtainable?
