Mr. Coughs genuine confession, or statement has made it's appearance-dated at Roxbury, Mass. Sept. 22 The statements hitherto made relative to his case, are mainly corroborated by his own hand. He says. that on Friday, the 5'h inst, he was accosted near Saxton and Miles Store, New York. by man calling himself Jonathan Will Hams, who claimed :o be an old acquaintance and shop mate of his but whom Cough did not re- cognize. Williams asked him to take a glass of soda with him, which he did.

 Soon after, he felt warrn sensation about his lungs and chest, with unusual collaboration, and for the first time, he began to suspect that twas not all right This feeling increased. till he felt com pletely bewildered. and from that tune, until he was discovered in the garret of house of bad re- putaton, he has no distinct recollection of any thing that happened He has no doubt but the so- da was designedly drugged He denies positively the reports that he ever used opium. His account of the affair will, we think, be generally believed and we hope 10 see hirn once more active and use- full in the cause in which he has done good service
