No doubt Americans carry Plantation Bitters to Rome; but trying to imposs upon a society of Antiquarians in this way seems quite useless, and we do not appreciate the joke.

The physical structure of the strongest human being is vulnerable everywhere, Our bodies are endowed by nature with a certain negative power, which protects them to some extent from unwholesome influences;but this protection is im perfect, and cannot safely be relied on in un- healthy regions, or under circumstances of more than ordinary danger. Therefore, it is wisdom, it is prudence, it is common sense to provide against such contingencies by taking an antidote in ad- vance; in other words by fortifying the system with acourse of HostaTTER’s &TOM40H Birrers, the most complete protective against all the epidemic and endemic maladies that has been administered in any country. Asa remedy for Dyspepsia, there is no medicine that will compare with it. Who- ever suffers the pangs of Indigestion, anywhereon the face of the earth where HosTETTER’s BITTERS can be procured, does so voluntarily; for as surely as the Truth exists, this invaluable Tonic and Al- terative would restore his disordered stomach toa healthy condition, To the Billious it is also espe- cially recommended, and in cases of confirmed Constipation it affords speedy and permanent re- lief.

THE YELLOW FEVER PLOT. Etamination of Dr. Blackburn—The Evi- dence Against Him Conclusive—He Gives Bail for $5,000. TORONTO, Nay 24.—The evidence in the case of Dr. Blackburn, published to-day, gives de- tails of the yellow fever plot. The testimony of the principal witnesses is corroborated by the affidavits of Mr. Oleary, and W. J, Hall, both Southerners, The couneel for the defence admitted the evi- dence, but contended that there was no decided authority in support of the prosecution for conspiracy to murder In a foreign country, and that it was not punishable by the common law in England, unless it was contemplated to murder the head of a Government. Blackburn’s Bail Accepted, ToroNTO, May 25.—In the case of Black- burn, of yellow fever noteriety, the magistrate to-day said, owing to the uncertainty of Eng- lish law, required in such cases of conspiracy, he shouJd not assume the responsibility of de- ciding the ease, but would send the prisoner before the judges at the next assizes. ail has been accepted in the meantime to the amount of eight thousand dollars.

The Cumberland river is very high, and is overflowing portions of Nashville. © Work is progressingrapidly on the Atlanta railroad. Guerilla parties in that section have almost entirely disappeared.

JEFF. DAVIS. Further Particulars of his Capture—Mrs. avis Thinks J. D. ‘a Vogy Reverend Man.”’ Col. Pritchard, who presented the female ac- coutrements of Jeff. Davis to the War De- partment, an account ef which we published in yesterday’s Star, gives an interesting nar- Tative of the surprise and capture of the arch traitor’s camp. hen the camp was sur- rounded two different squads of our men each mistaking the other for rebels, commenced firmg and the Colonel went out to see what was the matter. During his absence Mrs. Davis appeared at the door of her tent, in her night clothes, and stated that no one was in there but defenceless women and children, and desired that she might accompany her oid mother tothe creek to get water to wash in. Permission was given her, and in a few Minutes she came out with @ person bearing on her arm & water pail, and proceeded toward the creek. She had gone but ten rods, however, when Corporal Munger noticed that the “old mother” was a very talllady. He also noticed, when she held up her dress, that the articles on her feet were not slippers, buta pair of cavalry boots, into which the pantaloons were stuffed. He then halted the pair, at the same time raising his carbine and cocking it, and placing the muzzle about four feet from the suspicious individual’s face. Mrs. Davis here threw her arm around her partner’s nec, and placed her hand over the face, at the same time pray- ing the corporal not to shoot Aim, and urging «Mr. Davis” to keep quiet, he having muttered something about wanting to die “right here,” and being “ready to meet his doom.” By this time some four or five had ridden up and had their carbines cockedand pointeiat Mr.Dayis. The pair were then taken back to Adjutant Dickerson. Col. Pritchard then returned to Camp and ascertained that they had captured Jeff Davis, his wife and four children; Miss Howell, Jeff D. Davis, (Mrs. Davis’ sister and brother,) John H. Beagan, Postmaster General, Uolonel Johnson, (son of Sydney Johnson, who wus killed at the battle of Shiloh,) and Colonel Lubbuck, both aides-de-camp on Jeff Davis’ staff, Burton N. Harris, private secretary; Major Maurand and Captain Moody; also, a number of privates and seryants—in all about twenty-one. The Colonel approached Jeff. Davis and said, “What may I call you!’ Davis replied, “Anything or anything you please;”’ when the Colonel said, Well, I will call you Jeff. Da- vis.” Afier Davis pondered a few seconds, he remarked, ‘Well, that is my name.” He here folded his arms on his breast in a deflant man- ner, saying, ‘I suppose you think this is brave to attack a defenseless train of women and children, I think it is vandalism, cowardice, theft.” Davis denied being concerned in the project of assassinating the President, and said that better terms could have been had of Mr. Lin- coln for the South than from any one else. He said he was sorry he had been murdered. He did not believe Mr. Lincoln had anything against him, but he believed President John- son bad. Mrs. Davis, during the conversation, said: “Gentlemen, Mee may not see Mr. Davis’s principles as he does. He is a very reverend man.” Search ef the Baggage of the Davis Party— Another Account. Fortress Monros, May 24.—The steamer Wm. P. Clyde, which conveyed Jeff. Davis and party to this place from Hilton Head, S. C., sailed from here this afternoon for Savan- nah, Ga,, under sealedorders. Mrs. Davisand family, comprising her four children, brother and sister, and Mrs. Clement C. Clay, go to Sa- vannah on the Clyde, as permission to proceed North haz been refused them by the partment. Yesterday morning & guard was sent out to the Clyde to search that steamer and the lug- gage and effects of the rebel party remaining on board. A large amount of gold and vale uable jewelry, &c., was found in the lug- gage of the jadies; but, with the exception of several important documents which were found. By the guard, everything was left un- molested. ‘Among the many rumors flying about to-day in regard to the confinement of Jeff. Davis has been one to the effect that yesterday afternoon he was manacied, in order to prevent, no doubt, any injury to his guard, should he as Mrs. Davis once remarked) become provoked at the strict surveillance held over him.

Buthow carefully this man has kept himself out of the villainous smell of saltpetre, by putting over his quaking head the flag of Great Britain! Saunders is naturally even coarser and more vituperative than Tucker. He addresses his note to “Titus Oates Holt, care of E. M, Stan- ston, co-conspirator.” The theory of both Tucker and Saunders is that Andrew Johnson caused the assassination in order to get the reins of power. The gentle Saunders says to Mr. Holt: «If there be an honest man in your partisan radical court-martial, he will force you to show evidence of the honorable standing of your strange witnesses; the observant worid ‘will scrutinize the testimony of the venal mon~ sters now flocking to Washington by land and sea—with facile months agape—eager to be crammed by you, their Patron Saint, with tresh calumny for the witness. box.” This is followed by several affidavits of per< sons who did not see what certain other wit- nesses did see, and of other persons who en- deavor to impeach certain testimony; an easy and cheap mode of defence, butnot iculare ly strong in common or any other Kind of law, From the painful ravings of these Confeder-~ ate agents in Canada, kept up with increasing energy for six weeks, the people will inevita- bly conclude that these refugees protest too much to be honest.
