' . ,,, 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.

But, mypoor wlfe! I can seo the hideous announcement with Its naming capitals, aud cannot but anticipate how much her pride and love will both bo sbooked. For myself I om resigned, nnd now only nay, 'The Lord renrovo them t’ Tho physical incon* vunlonco of tlicss things I still fool (chinking Ida Hdpnffi in all ages, to whoso memories slirinc9 are now built, have sultorod as bad or worse indignities.” 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. [to re continued.] J.J.&S.P.
