Ic riew of thce fcu, Mr. Hiihos remirks In regard to the probability of an eitr pension of the Legislature: "Whether the Legislature will be conferred prior to its regular feion, (January, 1C7,) I ara cot aJvned; but a Govcrcor Mortox i always awake to the public in teret, and seldom fii to do that which ought to be done, I havo no hesitation in announcing there will be an fitra session of the Irjd'ana Legislature." Upon the authority of Col. Htiion, who predicates his icforrmtion upon either the necessities of the capo or the inclinations of the Oorernor, perhaps both, we feel authorized in announcing that there will be an eitr aesaion of the Legislature; but when tint's the relation. JacobTlioiupon' Defense. Jacob Tiiourios, in a two column letter addre?ici to axd published in the New York Tri bane, makes an elaborate Cefcnse of the Charge brought agtictt him fur dishoDCty whiles moo ber of Mr. Btchas as' Cabinet; for alleged cousec'Joo ia the attempted hotel burning ia New Tork, and for knowledge in aJrance, or complicity in the plot for the t;saa:rtiou of Mr. Lincoln. Mr. Tiioxtriox alo attempt to tiefend or Justify the rebellion upn the doctrine of Hlate rights. Mr. Thompson rcue-a all fair and independent papers to copy hi a defence. This we ru?e uot the spice to do, or would a com pliauce further any good purpose. We copy, however, what he eij ia reference to the aj?aj sination plot: " Dut of all the astonishing thing which have happened during this war between the States, the late proclamation of the l'leideut is the most unreasonable and urjust. It seems there has been erected a new bureau called " the Bureau of Military Justice." In tint, it teems there is evidence tht the aüasinatioi of the Ute I'rei dent wa " incited, concerted and procured by and between Jeftr?on Davis, at Richmond, V." and my self im J others in CanvU, and that myself and others are rebels and traitors "harbored in Canada." When th:s proclamation reached me, I w.a la New Brunswick on ray way home. This id a novel mode of banishment. Now, sir, mark how a direct statement will meet every pint made by tbe evidence in " tbe Bureau of Military Justice" and put to npen "haras so solemn an act as a proclamation: I aver upon honor that I hve never known, or conversed, or held communication, either directly or indirectly, with Booth, the assassin of the President, or with auy one of his aocite, so far as I have Keen them named. I kucw nothing of their plan I defy the evidence in the Bureau of Military Justice. The proof, whttcver it is, is tissue of falsehoods, and Its publication cannot be made without exposing its utter rottenness. There was no nerd of cSkring $25,000 reward for my arrest. If I felt the lest assurance of Wein tried according to the recognized principles of law, without a pr judgment; without the arbitrariness of a Court acting under the instructioosof this "Military Bureau of Justice," and without contumely, I would go in person lud deliver myself np to the proper judicial authorities Until I have such an assurance, I think 1 ought to keep out of the way, which no doubt will crttify ray enemies. With repect, Jacob Trowrsox. May 10, IfCO.; Mr. Thompson gives no iukliu; as to his whereabouts, and doubtless, for the reason he gives, will keep out of the way.

Some of our readers will remember the circumstances cf the murder In question. It is now soce fire yeirs ilnceitoc-! tarred. Mr. Kent reided at liosdhill Hace ' He hid liiiug sevea children Constance sii , ber two iters, an J a brother, chil.lrcn of his , firat wife, and another con and two diughtcr by kit seeornl ,wile, who was aUo living.

Here was mystery indee-J. The two questions, who did It, and how it was done, were equally puxzlirg. Was the child PufTocteJ, or not? If not. bow was the murder comaUted without noise ot any kind? The surgton said the stab io the sidewss made with a long, sharp poictel instrument, and the throat was eut with a eharp razor. What a stock of murderous intent, as well as weapons, was required for the three several methods thus suggeate4 by which life was taken! Every at tempt to trace the murderer failed. Suspicion fell on various persons in succession, but all alike were discharged by public opinion, as weil as by the oQicers of the law. No clue was ob tained to the terrible mystery, and though sus picion was directed1 toward ConaUnce, then a school girl of sixteen, at home for her vacation, yet the idea was soon abandoned as preposterous, .a . nor wis tnere a circumstance euoteu wr.ica justly cat suspicion on her. A mining nipht-dre-s belonging to ber was n-ver eeotn'esi for, hut it was proved that it ha 1 beou sent to tbe wash, and had no blood on it when it was so lient. Th("? were the only f :ct. in th ci-e.

I a youn j Now comes Con.-taa'e liei.t.ki lt(5 uay ot twenty ohC.uiKl makes a conte-js.on in a few worJs, brief but full, and thru peals her lips Here are ber words: "I, Conrtance Emilie Kent, alone and nuaidcJ, on the night of the vJth Jui.e, lbO. murdered at Kosd.ull House, Wiltshire, one Franci.s S ivdle Ker.t.

She gives no other explanation, but goes to prison silent and apparently satifkd The mystery, instead of being cleared by this Btattling confe--pion, becomes darker than ever. In point of fict there f-cems now to be just reason for very grave doubt whether the is guilty, or whether she is not yielding herself to a mental delusion. I There is no help given by tho circumstances under which ehe inakrj the confession. Kcv. i Mr. Wagner, the clergy ra m who accompanied j her. belonL'ü to the Cliureh nf Pnlim! arvl ! ' one of thl fiew ,rArr r.f imit ifnr-i rf th f?.tbilm 1 customs. In bis parish he la? established the 1 confessional svstem as practiced in the Roman ! church. Miss Kent was a member of a ''Houe for Iicligious Ladies," known as St. Mirv's Home, at Brighton, which ah-io, we believe, one of the new inventions of some persons ia tbe Church of England. She has been leading a "religious life" there for pome time, and on the formal examination before the m.ieiitr.'ites in the o - , country to whom the was transferred after her confession, she was accompanied by a lady calling herself the Superior of this House. Both this lady and the Rev. Mr. Wagner claim that their communications with iliss Kent have beeu under the seal of secrecy, ai.d Mr. Wagner de clines testifying, ou tua roubd that the seal oi the confessional protects him. With very great propriety, courts in England and America recognize this protection in the case of h Catholic clergy mm, where the confesi :. .c .i ..t.n:.i..i in tho church, liut tue juestion ftenis to excite doubt iu England whether a clergyman of tbe established church can claim any such ex cmption from duty to communicate tho truth and the whole truth.

Bat if insine, to which act shvll the insanity be applied as explanatory, the murder or tbe confession? Is i' any the Ie?s l.keiy that this confession is the result of a diseased mind, a delui.ion cheriithed in convent Iiis, and encouraged by foolish people like the Rev. Mr. Wagner, than that it led a girl of sixteen to murder a boy of four, and remain cool, calm and free from suspicion for years after?

The fresident-The Mi er man - Jobitksn Armlticc lingllSl Hopes of Clemency Toward the Conquered Soutli. From the Lon4oo Tune?, May 9.J We must infer that General Sherman was to be more or less superseded, for not only are we told that Grant was about "j erponally to direct the operations against Johnston," but Mr. Stanton hts apprised other Federal commanders that they are to disregard all orders (perhaps only those ia reference to tbe armistice) from that General, so lately the hero of the war. Mr. Stanton attributes to General Sherman's blunder the escape of President 1) ivis with a Urge sum of money, and the benefit of the truce has already been claimed by three Confederate Generals taken rrisoners at Macou, in Georgia. We are not dispo.-ed to blame the view taken, under the circumstances, by the Federal Government. As to the general riht of the supreme power in a State to rescind an armistice, if it can be so called, of this kind, no doubt whatever can be entertained. Tbe power to conclude it ia not, and could not be, implied ia any Military Commission, and the agreement here bears on tbe fre of it aa acknowledgment that it was executed without any special authority. Modern history furnishes numerous instances in which Conventions falling mote r.eirly wi'.hin the scope of the General's authority than this have been d.sallowed by the sovereign. Such was the case of the treaty signed by Sir Sidney Smith for the evacuation of Egypt by the French army, and even tbe famous Convention of Cintra. it will be remembered, was formally condemned by the King. In short, the only question is not one of law. but of jKIicy. It is not whether President Johnson had a right to set aside (ten. Sherman's terms of pacification, but whether for the sake of checking futther e2Tj-ioa of blood, it might not htve been au act of wise clemency to adopt them.

The entire contents were saved by the exertions of the citizens, who vied with the Fire Department Iu heroic exertions to save the property of Mr. Kirchner, Ihe proprietor, and that of his guests.. Says the Courier of Tuesday : Tbe hotel originally cost $45,000, built when times were good. Of course the erection of such a house in these days would require a much greater sura of money. The fire originated accidentally, from a defective Hue, and was not the work of an incendiary, as ome at first supposed. The hotel was insured in several companies, as follows: City Insurance Company, Cincinnati, $2.500; Madison Insurance Company, $5.000; International, $2 500; Lorillard, $7,000; Security, $4.500; Underwiiters, -$0,500 Total amjunt of insurance. $"24.000. of which $18.500 was on the building iti-elf, $4,000 ou the liquors in the bar room: and tho rcmaiuing $"2,5UU on the furniture The whole concern house, contents, Ac. beiouged to the lanllord, Wm Kirch ner, Esq The insurance compioies have already commenced to adjust tbe loe s, and wcare happy to avid the hotel is to be rebuilt immediately." Col. Bowles The New Albany Ledger, in speaking of tbe part that Col. Bowles and his regiment, the 2J Indi ma, took at Bacna Vista, savs: "The s'ory that Col. Bowles seizeJ his musket ard fought ;u the ranks of the Mississippi regiment, is of course all fol de rol." The Ledger is mistaken. We were not there, but we have it from a man who was, thtt Col. Bowles did figbt with a musket, as a common soldier, in the ranks of Jeff Divi.s' resiment. Such also was the testimony of Davis before the court martiil that tried Col. Bjwles oa the charges ot cowardice and incompetency. The Court sustained the charge of incompetency, but not of cowardice If we are not mistaken, Uen. Taylor ?poke highly of Col Bowles in his report of "that battle. We know that it is a question of vertcity between Colonel Bowles and his accusers, as to whether he ever gave the order to retreat or not. We do rot accuse either party of falsehood, and content ourvelf with sayicg that Bowles Las as much evidence in his favor as they have in theirs. The truth is that Bowles was a political Colonel, and ur.fit for the place he held. He is not a coward; and he was not the only incompetent cfikcr la that war. We could never ascertain why the Second In diana was blamed much for breaking ia that ecggcment. Almost every other regiment on the field did the same thing dutiug the sction. We suppose that a sjapegost wis oecesnry, and it was pitched upon from the fact that it was tbe first to break.

Ketchim, sevea miles south of here, and with pistols presented at Mr. Ketcham, informed him that tley understood he had lately received $1,000 in mocey. atd that they must have it. anJ that up on his refusal to gie it up, they would shoot him. Mr. K. denied haviag that amount of money about the house, but being unarmed, and not prepared to defead himself, they compelled hiaa to conduct them through tbe bouse in eearch of the m?ney. They took what they could find amounting to about $100, aod some other val ub'es and after attempting to set the house on fite, (in which however they did not succeed) they took their departure, tating that tbey would place a gain! around the house to shoot any one who m'ght a:tempt to follow them or give the alirm. They afterwards visited the bouse of Mrs RumcI, near Srnithville, in the same man

ner, and obtained some eight or ten dollars. They perhaps viiitfd öae ctbcj places during right. In tho morning, Mr. Kethim, with others in tbt neighborhood, itartedin pursuit of them, and overtook and captured them a few mile from here recovering most of the property taken. They were brought to town and lodged in jil. where they now are. They are all, we believe, Southern "refugees." Two of them are recognized as belocgicg to a squad of refugees, who resided io this place last winter, and who always appeared to have plenty of money, but never worked for it Thtir conduct ''not being above suspicion," they were given to uaderUad that they "had better leive.' which they did a short time since, and went, we believe to Mitchell.
