Sigourney, poetess, died here this morning, aged seventy-six years. aaa INSUBORDINATION AT CHESTERTOWN, MD.— Monday last being Whitsunday holiday, there was the largest gathering of negroes in our town that hes been seen for many years, some ot whom seemed to think they were ‘‘free” to do pretty much as they pleased. Several col- Msions took place bet ween them and the whites, the most serious of which occurred in front of the office of Justice Earnest. Whilst an in- vestigation was being hadin the case of a negro for striking the son of oneof our citi- zens with a whip, the negroes flocked in large crowds to the front of the office and on baing told by Constable Adkinson to fall back, one of them grabbed that officer by the throat and used threatening language © other demon- strations was made upon the officer, which no doubt was prevented by the prompt inter- position of the white persons present, who dispersed the crowd and administered to the negro who made the assaulta sound drubbing. In some instances ladies were insulted on the streets, and one or two arrests were made on oueree of threats toward the officers,—Kent ems. It is feared that the steamer Admiral Di thas been lost atsea. Oaptain Sisco of a New York pilot boat: finding a wreck on Thureday, ard about ve o'clock in the latitude of Uspe May, fellin with a large quantity of wrecked material, and picked up one metallic and one long wooden life-boat, a trunk, valise, and & writing-desk, which contained @ gold watch (stopped at 6.12), some small articles of clothing, and the ship’s papers ef the steamer Admiral Dupont. It was supposed from the appearance of the wrecked staff that the vessel had blown up. There were no signs of people, buta largenom- ber of life-preservers afloat. The water was covered with small pieces of joiner-work and other stuff for the space of two miles. The Admiral Dupont was an iron vessel, formerly a blockade-runner,and since her condemnation and sale has been in the Government trans. portseryice. She sailed last from New York On the 7th instant, at4 p.m. Wa The Government requires every oath subscribed to under the amnesty proclama- tions to be forwarded to the State Department. This requirement not being strictly com- plied wi by many department officers, a fresh circular reminding them of their duty bas been issued. The number of oaths filled at the department taken under Mr. Lincoln’s Pprockémation of December 8, 1363, is but little short of 10,000. The number is now rapidly increasing. When the oaths are re- ceived atthe department, the names, dates, residences, and numbers are all duly registerea in alphabetical! order. The oathis then neatly filed in numerical order, and can be referred to in a moment, even thouga the number filed should amount to hundreds of thousands. Those who have broken the oath will remem- ber this. A MysreRiovs Letrer.—On the 4th instant two men, named French and McAleer, of South Branch, Va., were arrested by Major Meyers and brought to this city and lodged in the guard-house, on the charge of writing a mysterious letter addressed to J. Wilkes Booth, and which was submitted in evidence before the assassination court at Washington. It turns out now that the letter was a fraud, perpetrated by a person named Purdy, who is said to be a Government detective, and who, entertaining a bitter hatred toward the parties arrested, availed himself of this mode to wrenk revenge. French and McAleer have bees released, and Purdy has since been ar- rested and placed in close confinement, on the ebarge of committting the alleged traud.— Cumberland ( Md.) Union. ASHLAND IRON WORKS.—We regret to learn that the Ashland Iron Works have decided to stop operations by the Ist of July. The Oom- pany has been compelled to come to this con- clusion on accountof the decline in the price of iron, and the heavy treight and high price of labor and coal, A large number of work- men will thus be thrown out of employment. The product of these works has been from ten to fitteen thousand tons per annum of the finest quality of pig iron.—8altimore American. Johnson's Island has been selected as the prison where all the rebel officérs who re- fuse to mepept tbe amnesty on the terms pre- scribed b) ident Johnson's new proclama- tion will be kept until a final disposition can be made of them.

Forthe sake of a cause worthy of sap- Port, and supported with rare devotion, it Will be fortunate that the man who has acted Qs its head from the beginning to its rm- ful end is freed from the reproach of ¢om- plicity in a detestable crime. But his life ts in great danger, and with it the still graver is- eues which depend upen his being fairly and honorably treated. It is undoubtedly in the por ot the Federal Government to punish ima to the Iast extremity for the poltical of- ienee of levying war against them; and we fear itis but too consistent with the threats of vepgeance uttered by President Johnson that this course should be taken. Now, then, is the time for warning. That the influence of a strong party in tne North will be earnestly ex- ertea to prevent so shameful a crime from staining the success of the Bepublic there is every reason to believe. But how far counsels of dignity and justice may accord with the will of the Federal Government, and how far it may even be possible for the Execatiye to carry them out against the pressure of pop- ular demands for vengeance, are matters of uncertainty. It is sincerely to be hoped, how- ever, that they may prevail to prevent the horrors of the gibbet being added to those which have been wrought by the sword; and no efforts which it may be thought the civil- ized powers of the world can usefully employ towards the accomplishment of this end ought to be withheld. From the London Times. } The intelligence of the capture of Mr. Jeffer- son Davis will produce a feeling of uneasiness and anxiety in every country in Europe, We had hoped, and we seemed to have good reason to hope, that, either through the skill of his own dispositions or by the wise connivance of Ris enemies, Mr. Davis would have effected his escape from the land where he has played his stake so boldly and lost it so completely. The hopes of the South are evidently crushed be- yond all chance of redemption, and it would have been a wise as well as a magnanimous policy to suffer its leaders to escape. We had a rebellion in 1548 in Ireland, but we disdained to dip our hands in the blood of the rebels. We pardoned Smith O’Brien and Mitchel, and Meagher. In their case there ‘was no difficulty in ascertaining the law; the crime was perfectly well known, and the pun- ishment equally notorious. The capital pun- ishment of Charles I., whatever people may think of it now, was undoubtedly a great mis- take, and probably one of the principal causes of the long and dreary period during which we had to wait before the accomplishment of our liberties was finally attained. Equally impol- itic was the execution of Louis xv . Had we seized Washington in the early part of the Revolutionary war, we might have considered ourselves ee im executing him asa de- serter, for bad once borne the King’s com- mission. But long before the end of the war we had learned to know him and respect him, and had he fallen into our hands he would have been considered entitled to all the cour- tesies due to & generous cnd noble-minded adversary. All this ie, of course, written on the suppo- sition, the trath of which we do not tor a mo- ment doubt, that it will be found impossible to connect Mr. Davis in any way with the atro- cious plot for the assassination of Mr. Lincoln: Our object is not to Iiate that enormous crime, and if 1t be possible to show that Mr. Davis was cognizant of it, we have nothing to say in bis defense. We desire only to take the first opportunity of representing how en mous would be the guilt of commenc! proscription which wou!d give the tone itd tests‘in America for the next cen- tury. ‘The Paris Temps is disinclined to believe that Davis was an accomplice in the assassi- nation; La France takes a similar view, ina hopes that he will be leniently dealt witB; the Opinion Nationale is of the opinion that his capture will produce ‘‘moral embarrassments,’” and the Pays sconts the idea that he is ap as- sagssin. The Patre, hewever, takes somewhat different ground, remarking that, “Although this last triumph of the North must be de- plored in view ot the principle of popular lib- erty, still it should be regarded as @ provicen- tial event for the future of the Southern States. In fact, the demagogic party has got itself into @ position antagonistic to every sentiment of humanity, justice and eresity, and the death of Mr. Davis by violence would cover the victors with shame and ruin them mor- ally.” cf {From the London Daily News.) Mr. Davis has now fallen into the hands of the Law, and we sincerely wish that he may find more consideration than he showed his fellow-countrymen. Now that he is taken we can only repeat what we said ten days ago— that we cannotsee what the Government or eopleof the Union gain by his capture. His Bistory is a severer penalty than any that an earthly tribunal can pronounce. The latter can do nothing to make the rebellion more in- famous. The Government of the United States is warranted m doing everything toex- tirpate the deep-seated social causes of the recent war, but its truest friends must hope that it will lay aside all thonght of political vengeance, and be content with the splendid vindication of the national dignity by its citi- zen solruers. The charge whi as been brought against Mr. Davis of complicity with the conspirators against Mr. Lincoln is an- other matter, and a government that might be content to leta traitor escape with a slight punishment would be bound to visit partici- pation in murders with the heaviest penal- ties. {> Gen.
