At sight of lids t turned away, promising to
sec what could bo done, ns exercise was the chief
medical necessity iti Ills case; and at this mo
ment the first thrill ol sympathy for my patient
was experienced. ' . ,,,
That afternoon, at an interview sought with
Major General Miles, my opinion wns given that
the physical condition of the Suite-prisoner Da
vis required the removal ol Ids shackles until
such time as his health should be established on
some firmer basis. Exercise be absolutely need
ed, and also some alleviation of his abnormal
nervous excitement. No drugs mild aid a di
gestion naturally weak and su impaired, without
exercise ; nor could anything in the pharmaewpia
quiet nerres so overwrought and shattered, while the
continual irritation of the fetters was counter/wis-
inq whaleter medicines might be gieen.
You believe it, then, a medical necessity ? "
queried General Miles.
“I do most earnestly.”
Then I will give the matter nltffntlop;" ami
at this point, for the present the affair ended.
.Vug 20th.—Called with the officer of the day,
Captain James B. King, at 1 p. fib Found Mr.
Paris in bed, complaining of intense debility,
but could not point to nny particular complaint.
The pain in bis bend liad left him last night, but
laid been brought back tlds forcuoon and aggra
vated by the noiso of mechanics employed in
taking down the wooden doors between bis cell
and the exterior guard room and replacing these
with iron gratings, so that he could at all times be
y ,nhy the sentries in the outside room as well as
by two “silent friends,” who were the unspeaking
companions of his solicitude.
Noticed that the prisoner’s dinner Iny untouch
ed on its tin plnte near Ids bedside, his meals be
ing brought in By a silent soldier, who placed
food on ids table mid then withdrew. Ilnd re
marked before that lie scarcely touched Ihu food
served to 1dm, bis appetite being fccljljS at best,
anil bis digestion out of order.
Quitting lilm, called on Gcueral Miles, and rc-.
mended that 1 be allowed to place the prlsi
oner on a diet corresponding with his condition,
which required light ahd nutritious food. Con
sent wns immediately gtvou, aud I-had piepared
and sent over from mV. quarters some tea and
toast for ids evening meal.
Calling about 7 p, nil found Mr.'Davis groatly
improved, the tea and toast having given him,
lie said, new life. Though he had not complain
ed of tiio fare, ho was very thankful for thu
change.
Be then commenced tajflpg—and lot me hero
-say thAt I encouraged him in vUIjS, believing con
versation and some Iranian sympathy the best
medicines that could Iu: given to one in Ills stnte
—on tho subject of the weather.
How lias the weather been—rougli or fair? In
his Inigo casement, and unable to crawl to the
embrasure, lie could not tell whether tile weather
was rough or smooth, and how tho wind wns
blowing.
"All my family are at sea, you are aware, on
their way to Savannah; mid 1 know the dangers
of going down the coast ns this season ol tho
year too well to bo without intense alarm. My
wife and four children, with otiier relatives, mo
on hoard the Clyde, and these propellers roll
dreadfully and lire poor smibonts in rough
weather.
Ho then explained .with great clearness of de
tail, and evidently having studied tiio subject,
why the dangers of going down the coast in
rough weather were so much greater than com
ing north. Going down, ships Imd to hug the
«liorc—tSIten running dangerously near tho
ironoherous horrors ol Cape Ilnttcnm; while in
running north they stood out from land to catch
favoring gulf stream, to uvoid which they
had to run in shore as close ns they could when
steering south.
He nppcarcil intensely anxious on the subject,
recurring to it frequently aud speculating on the
Hie probable position ot the Clyde at tills lime.
‘Should she he lost,” lie remarked, “it will be‘nil
my pretty chickens and their min nt one fell
swoop'd it will la; the obliteration of iny name
and house.” • ’
" Mrs. Davis, too," lie continued, “ has much
to contend with. Her sister has been very ill,
and her two nurses left her while hero, ami she
could piocurc no others. My only consolation
l». dint some of my paroled people arc on hoard,
and soldiers make excellent nurses. Soldiers
are fond ot children. Ferlmps the roughness Of
tlielr camp life makes the contrasted playfulness
o} infancy so pleasant. Charles of aweilen,
Frederick the Great, and Napoleon, were illus
trations ol this peculiarity. The Duke of Wel
lington is the only eminent commander of wlioiq
no trail of the sort is recorded."
Talking of propellers, and how badly limy
rolled in rotigii sen, I spoke ot one called the
Hurnside, lormcrly stationed at Port Hoynl, of
which the common remark was, that in every
three rolls slm went clean round.
"Once," I added, "when her captain was
asked wlmt was her draught of water, lie replied
that be did not know to an Inch the bight of her
smokestack, but it was from the top of thill to
her keel."
This ami other anecdotes amused the patient
h;r some quarter of mi hour, mid whatever could
give Ids mind a mmnmil’s repose was in the line
<>f hb uiire. • j) ii i
As I was leaving, lie asked, had I been nblo.lo
an nmliing to pad or cushion lib shackles If He
uHild take no exercise, or but tile techiest, and
wall great pain, while they wore on.
lo this I gave an evasive answer, not know
ing wbai might ix, tin, action of General Miles,
nnd fearing lo excite liilse hopes. No such half
way measure us pudding would suffice to-meet
Hie necessity or Ills case; while llmlr adoption,
suggestion, might defer thu bfoadei remedy
mat was needed. Oii leaving, be requested mu
m the morning to noto how the wind Blew, and
me pros peels of the weather, before paying him
my visit. Until be beard ol lib family.* arrival
m Savannah lie could know no pcucc.
87/A.—Called In the inornlugwllh thu
oltlccr or the day, Captain Tillow. Found Mr.,
j’ayis In bed, very weak and desponding. He
«d not slept. I|ad been kept awake by. U>«
heavy surging ol the wind through the blgxrmi
mi tlic oilier side ol ibn moat. Appeared much

He thanked iiio for the breakfast llutt hud beou
sent him, expressing the hope llinl I would not
let my wife be put to too much trouble making
broth nnd'toast Tor One so helpless nnd'utterly
wretched.
"I Wish, Doctor,” said he, "I could compensate
you by gutting well; but my caso is most uu-
promislug. A our nowspapore,” he went on—this
with a grim smile—"should pray for the success
of your skill. If you fail, whom will their oxtra
editions be—tlielr startling head lines ? My
dentil would only give them food for one or two
for them a month’s orop oflucralivo oxcllomenL’
Finding tiio conversation, or rather lib mono
logue, running into a channel more likely to excite
than soothe bint—the latter being tho object for
which I wus always willing to listun during the
fifteen or twenty minutes these Interviews usually
lasted while he was seriously 111—I now rose to
take my leave, gently hinting thnt he should
avoid such thoughts aud topics ns much ns pos
sible.
lie took my remark in a wrong sense, as if I
Imd been hurt nt his saying nnytliing that might
cast a reflection on the justice that would bo dealt
to him by my government, or upon the style of
journaltam in Northern newspapers. But I ex
plained thnt nothing could be farther from my
thoughts; that my counsel was purely medical, and
to divert him from a theme tlrnt must rc-arousc
the ccrebnt excitement wo wero seeking to allay.
Called again at 8 p. m., same day. Mr. Davis
still very weak, and had been troubled with sev
eral faint, not cxnctly fainting spells, his pulse
indientiug extreme debility, lie said the nights
were very tedious nnd hnggnrd. During tho day
be could find employment (the Bible or Prayer
Hook being seldom out of his hand whilo alone),
but during the night bis anxieties about his fam
ily returned; nmi the foot-falls of the sentries in
the room with him—their very breathing or
coughing—continually called back Ids thoughts,
when otherwise, and for a moment more pleas
antly wandering, to hb present situation. lie
Imd watched tho weather all day with Intense in
terest; and had been cheered to observo from thu
slant ot Hie rain thnt the wind appeared to con
tinue north-east, so that be hoped by this time
ids family were in Savannah.
Then went on to say that ho feared, after lie
find been removed from the Clyde his wifo must
have suffered the annoyance of having her trunks
searched—nn unnecessary not, it seemed to him,
ns, of course, if she imd anything to conceal, slio
could hare got rid of it on tho passage up.
On my remarking, to soothe him, that no such
search was probable, he said it could hardly be
otherwise. Ho had received n suit of iiuuvy
clothes from tho propeller, nnd General Miles,
when informing bim ot the fact, Imd mentioned
that there was quite a number of suits there.
" And so, doctor," lie went on, “you think nil
the misorabio details of my ironing have been
placed boforo the public ? It is not only for the
nurtfeelingsof mg wife and rJiililren,but for the
honor of Americans that [ regret it. My efforts
to conceal from my wife the knowledge of my
sufferings lire unavailing; aud it were, perhaps
better that she should know the whole truth, as
probably less distressing to her tlmu wlmt may
be Hie impressions of her fours. Should 1 write
such a letter to her, however, she would never
get it.
Sunday, May 28/A.—At 11 o'clock tlds morn
ing, was sitting on the parch in front of my
oiinrlcrs, when Captain Frederick Korte, Third
.PchnsylVufijn Artillery, who was officer or tho
day, passed toward thu cell of the prisoner, fol
lowed by the blacksmith. Tills told the story,
and sent a pleasant professional thrill of prido
throbgh my vain*. '- - - ‘ r .- *
Did not let Mr. Davis sco mu then, but retired,
thinking it better the prisdnor should be left
nionc in tile first moments of regaining so much
ol ids personal lilicrty.
Called again at 3 p. m,, with the officer of the
day. Immediately on eutoring, Mr. Davis rose
from his scat, both Imnds extended, and hb eyes
filled witli tears. He was evidently about tosay
something, lint cheeked himself; or was checked
by u rush of emotions, nnd snl down upon Ids
bud.
1 congratulated him on Uiu change, observing
tlmt my promise of ids soon feeling better was
being limllcd, and tlmt lie must now take nil the
exercise tlmt was possible for him, lor on tills bis
futuru health would depend. Captain Korte, too,
joined in my congratulations very kindly, and
spoke witli the frank courtesy ot a gentleman
and soldier.
Recurring lo Hie subject of his fumily, Mr.
Davis asked me Imd I not been called upon to
attend Miss Howell, Ids wife’s sister, who had
been very ill ul the time of hlsquittiiig the Clyde.
Replied that Colonel James, Chief Quartermas
ter, Imd called it my quarters, nnd requested'me
to risit a sick lady on board that vessel; believed It
wns the lady ho referred to, but could not bo sure
oftlicnuine. Had mentioned the matter to Gen
eral Miles, asking a pass to visit; but he objected,
saying the orders were to allow no communication
With the ship.
Mr. Davis claimed this was inhuman. Tiie
LADIES HAD CERTAINLY COMMITTED NO CRIME,
AND TnEKK WERE NO I.ONOEK ANV PRISONERS
ON UOAllD THE SUtl'WHEN THE REQUEST WAS
MADE, HE AND Mil. Cl.AY HA V1NII HERN THE LAST
removed. Tile lady wns very Bcrlotisly III, and
no officer, no gcullenmn, no nmu of Cbrlsllau or
oven human fooling, would have so noted. Gen-
biial Miles was khom Massachusetts, tio Imd
heard, and Ids action both In tlds and other mat
ters appeared iu Imrmony with Ids origin. It
wii* much for Mnssacliusett* to bonst tlmt nno ot
her sons bud been appointed his Jailor; and it
was becoming such a jailor to oppress helpless
women nnd children. » » * *
June 1.—Called with Captain Korte, officer of
Hie day, about neon. Hwl been sunt for nt 8, p.
in., but was away fishing.
Hu asked me wlmt luck fishing, nnd appeared
In lictter spirits tliun usual.
Had just heard, be said, through an Irregular
channel, tlmt he Imd been Indicted with Mr.
Breckitiridge in Hie District of Columbia, and
imped, therefore, tlmt ho wns about to have a
constitutional trial—not one by military commis
sion, to which lie would not have pleaded, re
garding it as a foregone murder. Tha news Imd
reached him through the conversation of some
soldiers in the gourd-room, who borne times
spoke to each other iu loud tones wbntthuy
wished hint to overhear. It was probably iu no
friendly spirit they had given him this news;
but to |iim it was us welcome as air to Hie drown
ing.
Ho tliuu referred to thu severity of his treat
ment, supposing himself nt present to be merely
held for trial, and not already undergoing arbi
trary punishment. As this conversation wns a
very lni|>nrtont one, I took foil noto of H almost
immediately on quitting his coll, and It Is now
given iu very nearly, if not precisely Ills own
words;
"Humanity suppose* overy man innocent,"
urged Mr. Davis, "until tho rov
ven, nnd tho laws
person* hold for It.
under alt the rigors of a eondsmnsd eandet, it not
commenced, and subsequently strove my uttcr-
ipost to soften the rigors of war; in every pause
of cottlllcl seeking, if possible, to treat for peace.
Numbers ol those already practically pardoned
are those who, at tho beginning, urged tlmt tho
black Hag should be hoisted, and tlfo struggle
made one of desperation.
“Relieving tiio States to tio each sovereign,
nnd tlielr Union voluntary, I had learned fpoitt
tho Fathers of tho Constitution that a State could
cliimgo its form or government, abolishing nil
which had previously existed; and my only
crime him been obedience to ibis coiiscicuelous
conviction. Was not this tiio unlvorBul doctrine
of the dominant Democratic party, in tho North
previous to secession ? Did tint many of. the op
ponent of tlmt party in the same section, share
and avow Unit faith f They preached, uml pro
fessed to believe. Wo believed, and prc|ichod,
and practised.
"It this theory be now mUugcd erroneous, Ute
history of tiio States, from tlieTr colonial organi
zation to thu present moment, should be re-writ
ten, and Hie facts suppressed which may mislead
others in u like maimer to a like conclusion.
lint if—as I suppose—the purpose be to test the
question of secession by a judicial decision, why be
gin by oppressing the chief subject of the experi
ment t Why, in tiio name of fairness and n de
cent respect for the opinions of mankind, deprive
him of the means needful to a proparulfon of his
defouse; mid load him witli thu inulgulUcs which
must deprive his iniud of its equilibrium ? It iU
comports with the dignity of a great nation to evince
fear of qtVINO A SINGLE captive enemy all
TUB ADVANTAGES POSStOLK FOB AN EXPOSITION
OF HIS SIDE OF THE QUESTION. A QUESTION
SETTLED UV VIOLENCE, Olt IN DISREGARD OF
LAW MUST REMAIN UNSETTLED FOREVER.
"Believing all good government, lo rest on
truth, it is the resulting belief tlmt injustice to
any individual is a public injury, which can only
find compensation lit the reaction which brings
retributive justice upon the oppressors. It has
been the continually growiug danger of thu
North, Unit iu attempting to crush the liberties of
my people, you would raise u Frankenstein of
tyrnuy that would uot down at your biddiug.
Sydney, aud Russell, and Vane, uml Peters suf
fered; but in their duatli Liberty received bless
ings tlielr lives might never have conferred.
“ II. Hie doctrine of Stnte sovereignty bon dan
gerous heresy, the genius of America would in-
dlt'iitu another remedy limn thu sacrifice of one
of its believers. Wickliffu died, but Husa took
up his teachings: mid when the dust of this mar
tyr was sprinkled on the Rhine, some essence of
it was infuBcd in the cup which LuUter drank.
" The road to grouts of power is known and
open; and thus nil questions of reserved rights
on which men ot highest distinction may differ,
and have ditiered, can be settled by folr adjudica
tion; nnd thus only can they bo finally nt rest."
Mr. Davis then spoke of the restrictions placed
upon his reading, which he supposed must soon ter
minate \f he was to be placed on trial. Books
would be indispensable to preparing ills defense,
nor did lie see bow lie could be denied free Inter
course witli counsel.
Books, if lie could get them, would be a great
consolation. True, be bad the two best—point
ing to bis^Bibic and Prayer-Book; but the mlml
could not keep continually nt tiio height and
strain of earnestness required for their profitable
rcuding. That ine papers and other punLi-
CATIONS OF THE DAY SHOULD BE DENIED IIIM,
HE COULD UNDERSTAND—THOUOU EVEN THIS
WOULD NOT itE RIGHT WHEN IIE WAS PREPARING
for trial. Hu would then require to kuow
wlmt phone of public opiniou.hu addressed; for
in nil such trials—and in lids age of publicity—
there must be two Iribuuuls, one inside,'but infi
nitely the vaster one outside Uie court room. To
old English or other books for his perusal, wlmt
objection could be urged? Such indulgoncies
were given to thu worst criminals before trials;
and even after conviction the prison libraries
Were open for their use. A mind so active as his
had been -for forty years' could not suddenly
bring its machinery to u pause. It must either
have food or prey upon itself, nnd tills was bis
caso at present. EXCEPT you THE purposb-of
PETTY TORTURE, THERE COULD BE NO COLOR OF
REASON FOR WITHHOLDING FROM HIM AMY
BOOKS OR PAPERS DATED PRIOR TO TOE WAR.
June 8.—Was called to tho prisoner, whom I
had not seen for a week. Entered with Captain
E. A. Evnns, officer ol the day. Found Mr. Da
vis relapsing and very despondent. Complained
again of intolerable pains in bis head. Was dis
tracted night and day by the unceasing trend of
the two sentinels in his room, nnd the murmur
or gabble of the guards iu tho outside cell, lie
said bis ensemnte was well formed for a torture-
rOom of the Inquisition. Its arched roof made
it a perfect wliispcring gallery, in which all
sounds were jumbled anu repealed. The tor
ment of ids bead was so dreadfol, lie feared be
must lose Ills mind. Already Ids memory, viaioii
and bearing were impaired. Hu lmii but tho re-
imdiiN of one eye left, and thu glaring, white
washed walls were rajiidly destroying tills. Ho
pointed lo n crevice in thu wall where bis bed
imd been, explaining tliut lie Imd changed to tho
other Bide to avoid its mephitic vapors.
Of the trial lm had boon led to expect, Imd
beard nothing. Tills looked ns If the Indictment
were to lie suppressed, nnd tho action of a mili
tary commission substituted. If so, they might
do witli him ns they pleased, lor lie would not
plead, but leave his cause to Hie Justice of the
ftiturc. As to taking Ills life, tlmt would be the
greatest boon they could coulcr on him, though
for tho sake of Ids litmily ho might A'firef tlic
manner of its taking.
