TIE ATLANTA SUNDAY HERALD. VOL. 1. ATLANTA, GA., SUNDAY, JULY 6, 1873. NO. 268 JEFFERSON DAVIS. His Arrival at St. Louis. A CHAT OVER OLD TIMES. ride to the parks. "Women’s Riglits. (holera Now and Then. A Reminiscence of 1832. EXPLOSION OF AN OLD FICTION. Attends Pine Street Church. Missouri Republican. Hon. Jefferson Davis arrived in the city from Memphis yesterday and is registered at the Planters’ House. He will remain here a couple of days and then go to New York on business. A number of old personal friends on learn ing that Mr. Davis was in the city yesterday, called on him. Among the first to find him out was Colonel D. H. Armstrong, who re newed his acquaintance with the distinguish ed visitor. Mr. Davis was Secretary of "War under President Pierce, at the same time that Colonel Armstrong filled the position of postmaster in St Louis, and they occasionally met in Washington. Mr. Davis remarked that he came to St. Lonis the first time in 1828, as brt-vet lieutenant of the First Dragoons, and was quartered at Jeffer son barracks during that and the following year. The last time he was here was in 1835, since which time wonderful changes have taken place in the appearance of the old fur trading post At 5 o’clock p. m. Mr. Davis accepted an invitation from Cot Armstrong to take ▲ CARRIAGE RIDS ABOUT THE CITY. They were accompanied by Messrs. F. W. Smith and W. T. Boyle, of Memphis. They drove past the old Christy mansion, in North St. Lonis, where Mr. Davis, when an officer at Jefferson barracks, went out to draw bis pay. The mansion was then looked upon as seme distance out in the country. Mr. Davis observed that he was astonished at THE GROWTH OP THE CITT, and h* could not recognise any of the old i load mark* in the present surroundings. The party were driven out to Tower Grove park, and to the gate of Shaw’s garden, bat there , was no admission there on account of the shower. The partv returned to their hotel\ much delighted with their ride, and the ex-; hilaration of the atmosphere laden with per- j fume of flowers after the rattling shower! which fell before their starting out. Among the CALLERS ON MR. DAVIS was Major Shryock, who was deputed with a mission from Rev. Mr. Rutherlord, pastor of j the Pine street (Presbyterian) church. Dr. McPneetere, John J. Haliiday, Dr. Webb and others, inviting Mr. Davis to attend their j church, corner of Pine and Eleventh street. Maj. Shryrock sent up his card, and on re- i Ceiving a favorable answer, the Major invited j a reporter of the Republican to accompany him. We found A CLERICAL-LC OKING GENTLEMAN seated in his chair with his coat off, apparent ly enjoying his ease at “mine inn.” lie arose and received ns with cordiality, and his frank ness of manner and easy dignity betokened that we were in the presence of a veteran sol dier end statesman. Mr. Davis appeared somewhat feeble and pale. His head is well bleached, and his whiskers, particularly on the chin, are white as a tuft of wool. When standing be is straight as a soldier, bnt per haps the slimness of his legs makes him look taller than he really is. Major Shy- rock made known the object of his visit, and in • behalf of the gentlemen before named cordially invited him to attend church. Mi. D. remarked that the gentlemen extending the invitation were some of them known to him, and it | would give him great pleasure to meet them, j and he woold attend the church in the even- { ing. He said that when he came in he thought about attending church, but he scarcely knew anybody here, and he did not know what church to go to. He also felt very much fatigued, having had but very little sleep on the cars,and he felt like enjoying some needed rest. Daring the conversation that ensued, allu-1 sion was made to a lady who acted the part of a Florence Nightingale in the Southern armies. Mr. Davis remarked that OUR LADIES DID A NOBLE WORK daring the great struggle, and he paid a de served compliment to their devotion and self- sacrifice. He believed that a new era was dawning, and it would seem that another generation must greatly improve and progress through the influence of such women. In answer to a remark thrown out, that perhaps the granting of political privileges to women would tend to bring about such a re sult as he half predicted. Mr. Davis said that he did not mean that be was committed to the doctrine of so-called ‘‘woman’s rights,” al though he could not claim a lack of education on that point, as he had a lady friend in Mem phis who Lad frequently lectured him on that subject. He did not doubt, however, if THE FUTURE GENERATION OF MEN were brought up by such women, the world would improve and matters would be much better. Inquiry having been made in regard to the RAVAGES OF THE CHOLERA IN MEMPHIS, Mr. Davis said it was principally confined to those imprudent in their diet and not careful in their habits. There was a difference of opinion as to whether the disease was an epi demic or end. mic. He believed it bore the character of an endemic. Mr. Davis then gave an interesting account of his experience with the genuine Asiatic cholera in 1832. After THE BATTLE OF THE BAD AX, on the Upper Missouri, in which Gen. Atkin son, with Coi. Taylor’s regulars and the Illi nois volunteers, made a capture of Black Hawk and his warriors, Mr. Davis said he was placed in charge of about forty of the prisoners, which were placed on a steamer with orders fo report to Gen. Scott at Rock Island, then Fort Armstrong. Scott, who was in command of the eastern half of the United States, started with troops for the Indian country. He ascended Lake Huron, with the Asiatic cholera, the epidemic having followed the St. Lawrence and lakes from Quebec. The troops were taken down at. THE LITTLE HAMLET OF CHICAGO. But as soon as they were convalescent, Scott marched with them to Prairie du Chien, and th6n down to Rock Island, where Scott had arranged to hold a grand council with the Sacs and Foxes, Wmnebagoes, Sioux and Menominee. But the cholera breaking out with frightful havoc among the troops, Scott i sent directions to all the Indians not to ap- i proach him till a new summons. Three Indian prisoners, confined by the Indian agent on a charge of murder, were allowed to go, on a pledge that they would come back and stand trial, on the display of a signal fram a dead tree on an elevation overlooking the prairie. It may be remarked here that on the cessation of the cholera, these Indians came back on seeing the signal as they agreed to. Mr. Davis said it would have been mnch better had Gen. Scott stayed away. The Indians had been whipped by Gen. Atkinson before he arrived, and the reinforcements, which were not needed, only brought the cholera with them. On nearing Rock Island with his prisoners, Mr. Davis ordered the captain of the steamer to anchor the boat outside of the fort, in the river, and to allow no person to leave the steamer, nor none to approach from shore, as he would go himself to see Scott and get his instructions. Gen. Scott gave orders to land at some distance below all the prisoners except BLACK HAWK, The two sons of Black Hawk, and some ten leading warriors who were to be taken to Jef ferson barracks. Before leaving General Scott and some of his staff approached the steamer in a skiff, but were requested by Mr. Davis not to get aboard, and they complied. After steaming down the river Mr. Davis found that notwithstanding his precautions the cholera broke out among the prisoners. He remembered the prescriptions of an old physician, and ordered that the patients take calomel and laudanum. The patients seemed to recover, and near Keokuk, he released the prisoners in obedience to Scott’s order and placed them ashore. They scampered away over the bank as if nothing ailed them, and were soon out of sight on the prairie. Black Hawk and the remainder of the prisoners were brought to Jefferson barracks, and the cholera soon after broke out there with great violence. CONCERNING MR. DAVIS' MARRIAGE. Speaking of Prairie du Chien, Major Shy- rock said he had been there, and he wished to know whether the tradition was correct that Mr. Davis eloped with the daughter of Gen. Taylor, in opposition to the wishes of the General. The scene had been pointed out to him with at circumstantial relation of the af fair, and he had a curiosity to know whether it was true. Mr. Davis laughed heartily, and said that the account which got into the newspapers was a fiction. That he had an affection for the daughter of General Taylor was true; that she manifested a preference for him was true, and that General Taylor was somewhat unfriendly wss also true, but be did not oppose the match. On the contrary, they were married in a church at Louisville, Kentucky, and Mr. Hancock Tay lor, a brother of the General, procured the license for the marriage. This little fiction having been thus punctured, the same querist inquired if there was any truth in tha state ment current at the time, that AT THE BATTLE OF BUENA VISTA General Taylor rode up to Mr. Davis and congratulated him on his gallantry, adding that he must acknowledge that his daughter was a better jndge of character than be was. Mr. Davis smiled and said this was A FICTION ALSO. Gen. Taylor was a man of few words, and would not have been likely at the critical time supposed to utter the words imputed to him. Mr. Davis said that their respective duties widely separated them. He was sent out on the plains, while the General operated in a different quarter, and they seldom met. He however, joined his father-in-law at his re quest, to consult about the selection of a planta tion in Mississippi, which was an evidence of kindly feeling entertained for him by the General. Other callers being introduced, the short interview that could be necessarily claimed was ended. Mr. Davis last night attended services at the Pine S reet Church, as befoie intimated, and listened to a sermon by Rev. Dr. Ruther ford, who was the chaplain at Vicksburg be fore and after the surrender. JNO. H. JAMES, Banker, James’ Block. T M. ALEXANDER 4 CO..
