ependence of character, of generous and honorable impulses, and of a high and chivalrous sense of honor. He was naturally impulsive, and fonder of being a leader than of being led, yet he possessed so much native manliness and so nice a sense of what it is to be a true gentleman, that his name holds an enviable place upon the records of our school. He was a diligent as well as a very ambitious scholar. He entered Harvard College without condition in 1856. One of Abbott's schoolmates, J. Davis, Esq., writes:— As a boy he was always gentlemanly, and I do not recollect a mean act ever attributed to him by his schoolmates. While fitting for college he was very ambitious to stand well in his class. . . . I remember an incident illustrating his fortitude under physical suffering. We had in our school-house yard a tree with a limb broken off near its body, on which we used to swing by the arms and take flying leaps. Abbott soon excelled in this. One day he unluckily fell and

Davis with the cavalry of his brigade was to cut off their retreat on the north-east. Davis was the first to encounter the enemy, on the 19th of December, separated from him by the Black Water River, near the mouth of Clear Creek. A narrow bridge defended by Confederate skirmishers spans the Black Water at that point.

Consequently, the latter determined to act before the meeting of the legislature; and on the 4th of September, at the very time when Mr. Davis was giving assurances that he should respect the neutrality of Kentucky, General Polk took possession of Columbus by surprise. The prompt action of Grant, as we have stated, alone prevented him from reaching Paducah in time. For a while a rea

Police Court. --Yesterday, Johnson, slave of A. L. Holliday, was arraigned on the charge of robbing Mr. Jas. F. Bowyer of his watch and chain, valued at $125. The watch was not recovered. The prisoner was captured by Policeman Davis, who was seized with suspicion on seeing the darkey sporting the chain, a heavy gold one, on the street. On being questioned as to how he came in possession of the article, he said that a white man had given it to him. This improbable story led to his detention, and the fact that the chain had been stolen leaked out. Its owner identified it. The accused was sent before the Hustings Court for trial. Aleck, a slave, was arraigned for going without a pass, and ordered to be licked in the most approved and orthodox style by the sitting magistrate, who generally frowns in virtuous indignation against all petty offenders. Sylvester, a military nigger, arrested for carrying a shooting iron contrary to law, was likewise ordered a tickling. His p

The old patriotic fires wstructed to, and did, deliver an order to the Virginia chivalry that North Carolina was capable of managing her own affairs, and that no more of her citizens must be taken out of the State. In connection with this matter, we also learn that J. Davis, a few days since, ordered Gov. Clark to furnish them with all the meant of transportation and defence possible, to aid him in the passage to and through the cotton States, and also for additional troops. Gov.
