Gillmore at Fort Pulaski, he returned to the city in the W. W. Coit. Onr distinguished visitors had an.excellent opportunity at Fort Pulaski for an interview with the late Rebel President and his companions in flight. The Captured Party.— The steam tug Standish, Capt Moore, arrived opposite the city last night between 12 and 1 o’clock. On Sunday night 12 o'clock took on board cap tured party at Blue House Bar, below Au gusta, and a guard of 100 meu, who had made the successful capture. The following are the distinguished pas sengers by the Standi sh: Jell' Davis, wife, three children and wife's sister. Alex. EL Stephens. Geu. Wheeler and three of hi* staff. C. C. Clay, Ala. Col. Lubbock, ex-Gov. of Texas. Colonel Thomas. Captain Moody. John H. Reagan. Postmaster General. Colonel Johnston, brother of Gen. Jos. E. Jo hnston. r . Sweatnam's Varieties. —The performance at this place of amusement last evening was unusually good, from the fact that the new and brilliant Drama, the “Midnight Watch” vt&a produced, one of M. Morton’s best specimens of Dramatic writing. The lead ing female character “Pauline” waspersonat ed by La Belle Louise, who showed much ability and grace in her rendition, and an excellent idea of the “leading business,” such ns older professionals might well be proud of. In consequence of the benefit of Miss Florence La Fond, Mr. Hweatnam gives no entertainment this evening. The River Clear or Torpedoes.—The Sa vannah river is now completely cleared of torpedo®, the steamer Standish having been engaged in taking up and destroying them. The work of destroying them was, in some cases, very laborious, it being necessary to bore the torpedoes with augers as they lay, in order to let in water to destroy the powder before it was safe to raise them. Three tor pedoes were raised and Jfive destroyed by the Standish, and the river is now clear for travel from Savannah to Augusta. “Abolition” Socikty in Stain —‘There is an establishment in Madrid of an association for the abolition of slavery in tbe Spanish colo nies, and the society has begun its operations. The first “abolition” meeting which has ever been held in Spain was convened at Madrid on the 2d of April. The meeting was crowd ed aud enthusiastic. Senor Oloxaga, one of the leaders of the Progressist party, has been elected President of the society, Obkat Flow of Mon ky.— The loan to the government on Friday reached the large amount of seven millions and a half, the greatest yet reached in anyone day. In con nection with this tact, as an evidence of the v money at present and the confidence whieh the country baa in the ability of the government, we observe that for several days past there has been very little call on the Treasury Department for gold interest. This is the more remarkable when we consider that gold is worth over forty per cent, pre mium.—JV. V. Herald, Ith. • Frater’s Magazine says that a young Uni tarian minister ofttsacqUaintance once visit ed the region of the Potomac to plant some of his doctrines, but was persuaded by a sa ’ gacloua physician resident there that the thing was medically impossible “Everybody almost in this Northern neck of Virginia has more or less the liver disease ; they are sure to be Calviutts. - You'll do more near the mountains.

Alexander H> Stephens’ Door Plate. -i --ihe large shield-shaped silver-plated door plate of Alexander H.

CAPTURE OF JEFFERSON DAVIS Two Detachments of Our Troops Fire upon cacj ether In the Darkness. Davis Attempts to Escape in the Confusion. PRITCHARD'S BOYS “ DO.VT SEE IT." Foil Particulars, Etc. Immediately upon the receipt of the order of President Johnston offering a reward for the apprehension and delivery of Jefferson Davis, the late Confederate President, Gen. Wilson broke up bis command into uumerous detachments for the purpose of scouring the country and securing the fugitives. Among the parties who were thus engaged was one composed of a detachment of the 4th Michi gan cavalry, under the command of Lieut. Col. D. B. Pritchard, numbering ajjout 128 persons all told, officers and men. Col. Pritchard swept through the district of country designated as his field of opera tions for three days without success, but on the afternoon of Wednesday, the 9th instapt, came into possession of such evidence as made him sure that he was at last upon the track of Jeff Davis. , * He now pushed lorward, under the di rection of trustworthy and well-informed guides, with renewed enthusiasm, and at a late hour of the same night came upon the camp of the fugitive party at a spot about one mile outside of Irvinsville and not far from Abbey ville, in this State. Davis and hi 9 companions, j including his wife aud wife’s sister, a few officers and a body-guard, all heavily armed, traveled with two ambulances and two or three arrnv wagons. Coming up to this camp, Col. Pritchard noiselessly disposed his men around it, so as to cut off all chance of egress, though he was ndt then aware whom he had captured. The doomed fugitives were all abed, not dreaming of their danger. At this moment, before any further movement was made, another scout ing party came up, which afterward proved to be a detachment of tbe First Wiscon9iu Cavalry. The Wisconsin boys did not stop to make inquiries, bnt seeing a camp sur rounded by cavalry, f*r defence as they sup posed, made an impetuous charge uponJt. The mistake was mutual, and a serious fight ensued, which lasted for full fifteen minutes. Four men were killed out of the Michigan Cavalry and several wounded. Os tbe Wis consin boys, several were severely, and it is feared, mortally wounded. The discovery was. at length rnadu however that both parties were “boys in blue,” the fighting ceased, and the most uproarious cheers, aud cntbuaiaom beyond description Followed. The fugitives were of course aroused by the first noise of the fighting, and started from their beds in utter panic, knowing not which way to turn. Davis, however, had the self-possession to make a most desperate attempt to escape.— It appears that, during the fighting, Mrs. Davis had arrayed her husband in her own divas.. put_. on .him her hood and tied her about his head so as to conceal his face completely. When thus disguised the late President of the Confederacy bore a dece? tive resemblance to an old woman. Mrs. Davis took one of his arms aud Mrs. D.’s sis ter the other, and thus apparently support ing the tottering steps of the old lady, at tempted to make away from the scene of conflict into a neighboring swamp. ’ Four of Pritchard's meu stopped the trio, however, when a piteous appeal was made to them by the pseudo-daughters to allow them to conduct their poor old mother out of the range of the bullets. One of the soldiers promptly replied that he “couldn't see it—that they were after Jeff. Davis, he was here somewhere, and they meant to have him.” Dismounting, he took off the hood, and instead of an old lady, found the well known features of Jefl'. Davis beneath it. The officers and other members of the fleeing party were easily secured. Before daylight the forces started on their return to Macon, where, ou his arrival, Col. Pritchard dispatched the news of his glori ous success to Gen. Wilson. He was imme diately ordered to Augusta with his captures. From Augusta he was ordered to conduct hia prisoners forthwith to Washington. He accordingly embarked on board steamer Standish, Sunday night, reaching this city at an early hour this morning. Here Colonel Pritchard’s party was transferred to the Ein ilie, which immediately started for Hilton Head. At Fort Pulaski the Emilie was met by the W. W. Cbit with Gen. Giilmore, Judge Chase and others, who went on board the Emilie. We are told by those who saw Jeff Davis, that his appearance is but little altered from what it was/our years ago. He seemed to be in good health and little cast down in spirits. When the prisoners were; transfer ed from the Standish to the Euiilie, he re marked, with a smile, as he stepped upon the gang-plank connecting the two steamers, “Now,. Jeff Davis, you've got to Walk the plank!” A. H. Stephens, Gen. Wheeler and three of his staff, C. C. Clay, Ala, Col. Lubbock, Ex Governor of Texas, Col. Thomas, Capt. Moody, John H. Rengau, P. M. Gen., Col. Johnston, brother of Gen. Joseph E. John ston. are also prisoners. A SOUTHWARD MOVEMENT. A southward movement of our population has been going on for tbe last four years, but the emigrants have carried muskets aud can nons, with the intention of returning after doing a specific work. The people compos ing the rebel armies have also been moving very actively in a southward direction of late—so many of them as hang together and are n>»t “gobbled up.” The next southward movement will be of a different character — the emigrants will carry the arts and machin ery of peaceful industry, and will go to make homes in the fertile regions restored to the Union and to law, and to iuvigorate the slip shod society of the South with the spirit of free and educated labor. It cannot be doubted that annihilation of slavery in the South, and the destruction of class privil eges which rest upon it, will open the gates of that great section of our country to the flood. of emigration that has been pouring with irresistible velocity into the new States aud territories of the West. Heretofore the stream of emigration, rising in Europe and' reinforced in the populous Eastern States, has swept along north of the Ohio, as though the iioe between the free aud the slave States were a solid and impassable wail of ada mant, like that which, in Addison's oriental .vision, divided the future abodes of the good andQthe bad. There is no reason for this except the conditions of law and so ciety in the two sections. Cotton is a more profitable crop than corn. There are no physical barriers to divide the country in that direction. The great rivers and the great ranges of mountains run north and south, and the emigrants have crossed them to find homes in the heart of the con tinent. Why is it that the Southern States on the Atlantic coast and the Gulf, so ad vantageously situated for the prosperity of every interest, have not been filled up and improved ? Virginia, the oldest of all, had in 1860 but eleven millions of acres of improved lands, against nineteen millious unimproved, giving only round numbers; North Carolina, six millions against seventeen millions; Georgia, feight millions against eighteen mil lions ; Missouri, six millions. against thirteen millions ; Arkansas, one million against seven millions ; and so on to Texas, which had two millions against twenty millions. Missouri, a state larger than all New England, posses sing almost unexampled resources in its soil and situation, has less than eighteen inhabi tants to the square mile, while the adjoining state of Illinois, almost in the same latitude, was three times as populous. The contrast may be made even more striking by compar ing New York with Virginia, Massachusetts with South Carolina ; but it is not necessary. We feel confident that the peace which will soon crown our costly war will mark anew era in the prosperity of the South. It has tbe most fertile soil in the cuuutry ; it lias navigable wateis for commerce, leaping streams for manufactures, important staples and mineral wealth, and these will attract capital and labor when Freedom points the way. —Boston Herald. Clear'the Prisons !—On the accession of anew monarch, it is a new custom ot the Old World to show mercy to some of th e luckless* inmates, Os political. prisons. We entreat our President to consider soon aud earnestly the propriety of imitating, and even liberalising, this excellent cus tom. We have no donbt at all of the propriety, nay, the necessity—of what are termed “Arbitrary Arrests,” in a time of Civil Wur, ia which traitors are found almost every where. Knowing well that the power to make such arrests will almost certainly be abused, .we yet hold that it exists, and must be exercised. Individuals may sutler injus tice ; but let them suffer, if so only cau the Republic be saved. But this power to arrest at will is not only an exceptional—it is a terrible power. It ought not to be tolerated one day beyond the continuance of the necessity that work ed it. Under its 9way, private rights are suspended ; our liberties are at the mercy of an individual will. The wielder of such a power be he a statesman, a saint and a sage; yet beeaa hardly help abusing it,' at the beck of dissembling hypocrisy and scheming villainy. We canuol doubt that hundietls have been caught up and caged- who were innocent and loyal, and whose estates have become they prey of the peijured villains who prompted their, incarceration. Had the wholesome safeguards of the act of Congress authorizing a suspension of the privilege of Habeas Corpus been uniformly respected, the abuses of this power would have bteen far fewer and less flagrant. We do not understand why the provision enti tling an arrested person to a hearing before some proper tribunal after a few days incar ceration should be so often disregarded.— And it is quite notorious that some of the arrested were never worth the cost of their keeping, modeiate as that was or should have been. The Call tor Volunteers to Mexico, — The following advertisement appears in a Washington paper this morning (May sth): MEXICO — TO ALL OTi'ICEKS AND SO LUX EES. Now that our war U over, all who wish to emigrate to Mexico, In accordance with the Mexican decree, will call at Pennsylvania avenue, and register their names and address, or address by note Colonel A. j. M,, 280 E street. Washington, D C. Offices will also be opened In New York, Philadel phia, and other cities. Office hours at 258 Pennsylvania Avenue, between nine and four Much excitement has been created in mili tary circles by the above advertisement, calling upon volunteers ior Mexico to enroll themselves. Such a proceeding has not been authorized by this government, and has hard ly the sanction of that of the republic of Mexico; but there is unquestionably a scheme on foot by which all veteran officers and soldiers who desire to sustain the Mou roe doctrine will be enabled to draw their swords in defence of republican principles, without Involving, either themselves or the government in any trouble whatever. Recently we heard a good story of an oc currence which took place in Newburvport, Mass. A servant girl in that town went to Dr. Spofford for advice, declaring her ail ment to be a pain in the bowels. The doctor gave her a cathartic, and requested her to call again in a few days, which she did. He asked her if she had taken the medicine, to which she replied in the affirmative. He then asked—“ Did anything pass you aftqr taking it?” “Yes, sir,”, said she, “ahorse and wagon, and a drove of pigs.” The doctor collapsed, remarking: “T think you must be better.” On one occasion the Colonel was asked by some ladies if it was not worse for the gen tlemen to drink than for the ladies to use snuff ? The Colonel replied that both were very bad ; and that it" his wife should e?«r take to suuff, he’d Uktr, certain. DIRECTORY.
