St Patrick’s Day having suggested the joint topics of the Irish people and Fenianism, an officer under took, I am told, while escorting Jeff. Davis on St Pat rick’s Day iu his oaily walk on the parapet, to extract from him his views of the present Fenian movement It is not the first time these inquisitorial gensdarme have sought to elicit his opinions on this subject. But this o&cer went at it in a manner rather exceeding the usual brusque, roughshod, not to say boorish, style of some of them. “ Don’t you think the Fenians a great power ?” asked this man of shoulder straps. “ Some of the papers say so,” replied Mr. Davis. “Ain’t they bound to be successful,” the officer further inquired. “So very many say and claim to believe,’’ Mr. Davis answered, quietly as before. “But Canada is scared, and the British throne is tottering to its foundation with just alarm,’’ boldly declared this evident believer in the subject of Fenianism. “Well, wbat then? *’ asked Mr. Davis. “What then! That’s just it,” continued this man of penetrative gaze, pursuing a great destiny mapped out for the Fenians. “Why, the Fenians will soon have it all their own way. They can take Prince Ed ward’s Island and defy the world.” The climax of position, power and defiance so clear ly and positively pointed out as the future of Fenian- ism evidently carried very little conviction to the mind of Mr. Davis, judging from his following it with inquiring of the officer if he had ever heard of the fable of the fly and the ox. The officer did not pur sue his researches, and I confidently believe that how ever he may have settled in his own mind the question of Fenianism, he has set down Mr. Davis as an un profitable subject for inquisitorial pumping.

They are emigrating from here to •n lands of Mississippi. The fascination of a regmii, s< < congenial to the African race, tends ’ but certainly to draw them towards tlie N"w that the negroes are free to go where |typii-a«*, J lei -k for this proclivity to go southward ‘-fit :tsi If with increased energy. This natu- IciK-y will be accelerated by two causes. Capi- |afewho wish to engage in the production of cotton draw labor from the border States for this id further, the people and the authorities r States, wherever the free negro element as to be troublesome, will use means to |sjtljt South. I observe, in corroboration of this 25.77 that within the last few days a public meeting fynegroes has been held at Hampton, Vir- tn: induce them to move to Florida, and this sen* was gotten up under leading military influ- skb Fortress Monroe. So likewise in this city. ?c-ril Howard uses his influence to get the negroes ‘ri»to the Mississippi lands. He says “there iv many freed people now in this District. There '.vj:k here for all. They (the freed people) are - -r. South they go into slavery again. This is a ’- us falsehood. No complaints have come from 2 j-who went to Vicksburg.” This effort to drive Afr- u.n farther South will gain strength everyday, h rto tb«- Indian has been driven West, so ft*forth the negro is to be driven South.

Unless this bill or some bill “■’‘a:* character passes, the gravest apprehensions are the finances. ; to amend the constitution has become an v-ce II,-r.. is the very last form of the disease - U5a itself in the House of Representatives I have told the above story as it was told me. Mr. Davis speaks very freely with some officers, and with some he maintained a most distant and haughty reti cence. No one is more quick to discern and read character. His quick natural perceptions, his extend ed experience in public officers and careful study of the world and men, have made him so. An upstart of an officer, with more shoulder straps than brains— whose limit* d knowledge of military matters would excite the derision of a West Point plebean, and whose knowledge of the world and books does not greatly exceed that of “Simple Simon,” the famed hero of one of Mother Goose’s melodies—he delights in bring ing up with a round turn. HEALTH, OBSERVATIONS AND DEMEANOR OF JEFF. I have alluded to the daily walks of Mr. Davis. He still, when the weather admits, keeps up his daily out door exercise; and, with this and his morning bath and uniform habits and careful diet, though with a bill of fare of extended and choice variety, maintains good health. Savage tits of petulanee occasionally possesses him, and then again he is in temper, word and bear ing as mild &S a May morning. It is still remarked that he makes very rare allusion to bis trial, though why no one ventures to ask him. On Congressional proceedings and on all the great and exciting topics of the day, he is profoundly observant, and occasionally lets drop remarks concerning them, showing an inter est as permeating and undying iu the affairs of nations and the problem of the world’s destiny as marked the closing career of the great conquering Corsican, or of Robespierre and Richelieu. He endures his prison life with a singular admixture of stoicism and impa tience. Hope now lights his eye and glows in his cheerful, brilliant conversation, and then his features become frowning, the bitterness of disappointment is in his speech, and he looks and asserts defiance of the Government and everything. and knocked him down, saying, “You d—d Yankee , keep out of my way.” There used to be a good many bags of rations, beaus, rice, etc., brought in by Duncan in wagons under the bread. These loads were issued to the camp sutlers’.stands. It was universally believed that these stores came out of the prisoners’ rations, and were sold by Duncan for his own profit. At the time when the assault was committed.on the Tennesse man, we were suffering considerably from hunger, and it was generally complained of by the boys. The day before that assault, our detachment from not haring made a correct return, one of those who had died not being accounted for, got no rations. We expected to get them on this day. Some times there were sick men who oould not eat their rations, and having thrown it into tile marsh, other men would come and pick it out of the mud and eat it. The ration received by us was a piece of corn bread about three inches square, with about a pint of stewed or boiled beans or peas so full of dirt that it was almost impossible to get the dirt away from it so as to make it lit to eat; a piece of pork about an inch square, and boiled so that there was no grease in it; sometimes we got a piece of boiled beef in lieu of the pork. Cross-examined by Defence.—I don’t think it was the business of the prisoner to come into the stockade with the wagon. I know he did not always come in with it. It was habitual for the prisoner to curse at the men in the prison. Q-—Was there not a man very much resembling Duncan who used to come in with the wagon at the south gate, and who assaulted a prisoner about the 13th of June ? A.—I don’t know of any such man. There was a man that resembled him somewhat but he had red whiskers. It was very easy to (liBtingni»h between the two; I do not know his name; I never heard of this man’s beating prisoners. There was a man named Stanton who used to beat prisoners; he was a Yankee and staid inside. Witness said he kept a diary of these incidents, but lost it with his clothing while being ex changed, and was not certain as to exact dates in con sequence. In striking the prisoners who died Duncan on one occasion used a club, and at another time his hand only. He jumped on the Tennessee man’s breast with both feet after he was down; while being carried to the tent the man did not talk, he could hardly breathe. The examination of this witness being concluded the commission adjourned till 10 o’clock this morning. -lust Received and for Sale on Consignment, SEARCHING VESSELS STILL KEPT UP. In the past three months I have had frequent occa sion to allude to the search of vessels arriving here, to see if there may not be some one coming here to at tempt the rescue of Mr. Davis. This search is still kept up, though why no one can satisfactorily account for, unless to give extra employment to government steam tugs and the soldiers ordered on this special service. The order having come from Washington, and never having been rescinded, is necessarily yot complied with. There is a story of a guard having been established over a certain portion of tlie Waterloo battlefield after the close of the tight. For many years this same guard remained there on duty, guarding in the end only tangled briar bushes and a dilapidated paling. For some reason the guard had never been relieved, and so had to stay. Thus the order I have referred to has never been rescinded, and hence these continued and useless searching of all arriving ves sels. BY TRIAL OP JAMES W.

Duncan—an employee at An dersonville in the Commissary Department of the Con federate Government—for cruel treatment of Federal prisoners, was commenced yesterday morning before the Military Commission, of whi<-h Lieut. Col. H. A. Darling is President, and Capt J. H. Watrous Judge Advocate. The prisoner, who has been confined in the Chat ham County Jail awaiting his trial for some mouths, was brought into the Court at about ten o’clock. He was well dressed, and though somewhat pale, appear ed to be in good health and very little concerned or agitated. Judge Dominick A. O’Byrne and W. W. Paine, Esq., appeared as counsel for Duncan. Having hoard the order appointing the commission read, the prisoner was asked if he had objections to any member named in the order. The accused having no objection to any member, the Commission and the Judge Advocate were then in his presence duly sworn according to law. James W. Duncan was then formally arraigned and the charges and specifications were read to him, to all of which he pleaded “not guilty.” The charges were in substance as follows Charge L—Murdering an unknown man belonging to a Tennessee regiment while a prisoner at Anderson ville, about the 10th day of June, 1804. Charge 2.—Violation of the laws of war in robbing James Armstrong, a prisoner of war belonging to an Ohio regiment, of U- 3. Treasury notes of the value of $8, and a likeness or picture of the value of $1, at Andersonville prison in October, 1864. Charge 3.—Violation of the law’s of war. Under this charge there are several specifications, as follows : Habitually confining prisoners in stocks and other instruments of torture for the purpose of intimidating them or to gratify personal resentments; violently and cruelly beating a prisoner at Andersonville, inflicting serious hurts and injuries upon him, though the pris oner was an idiotic or half-witted person, and utterly inoffensive and helpless; robbery of money and like nesses from prisoners, and opening boxes sent to them and appropriating the contents to his own use; misapplying the rations issued to the prisoners for the purpase of feeding his private mess, selling them, and feeding them to his hogs; boiling the meat issued to prisoners and straing the greese therefrom and selling the same afterwards for his own profit. The first witness was Charles H. Russel, who testi fied as follows: I am a clerk by occupation; reside in Appleton, Wis consin. I recognize the accused. I first saw him at Andersonville, Ga., about the 25th of May, 1864. I en listed on the 1st September, 1861, in the First Wiscon sin Regiment. Was orderly sergeant at the time of my capture. Was taken to Andersonville about the 25th of May, 1864. I first saw Duncan as he came into the stockade on a wagon containing bread, on or about the 13th of J une, 1864. My detachment was at the time draw ing bread. While handling this brea*? there was a crust of bread dropped off into the sand and a fel low who was with me went to pick it up. This man Duncan jumped out of the wagon and struck him down and jumped upon him, striking him again after he was down. He said: “You d d , I’ll teach you to come around here stealing bread. ” This man died the third day after. Ashe was in my detach ment I saw him every day. Speaking about our con dition on the day before, I told him I wished I stood as good a chance of getting out of prison as he did. He was in better health than I was at the time and had two blankets. I don’t know what this man’s name was. He belonged to the 1st E. Tenn. Cav. I saw him after he was dead in his tent. Among other cruelties committed by Duncan was one upon a half witted fellow who used to baug round the wagons to pick up all the pieces of bread that he could liud. He came up to- the wagon that night, about the 15th of June, 1864, and was standing there. Duncan jumped out of the wagon, took a policeman’s club and struck him with it, knocking him down. The fellow got up on his hands and knees and started to run, when Dun can‘struck him again, I don’t know whether with the club or not, at any rate the man dropped. Duncan said, "I have a d ---cl good mind to throw you inside the dead line.” Don’t know where this inau came from. I had seen this half-witted prisoner often—two or threo times a day. I never saw him after that day. The prisoner seemed-to be very harmless and inoffen sive. He was well dressed and got along very well, only he did not haye his wits about him. The man belonging to the Tennessee regiment was carried to his tent after the assault before mentioned. Four of us took him HP, and earned him to his tent. Ae next day we carried ,.lhm out to the surge6n’s tent, : but thefe’ being no sur geon out there we brought’ him -back again. *lhe next morning he would not go, and that night he died. I saw him the next morning dead. He complained a good deal from his injuries before he died. I am sat isfied that he died from the beating and kicking in flicted by Duncan. Duncajo- was called by -theoris- oners sometime* 4 ‘Commissary,’’ and sometimes naster.” 1 never saw him’Wearing any in- “(Juartenn aster, sigma of rank. He often came inside the stockade. He was m nearly every day. He did not always come in With the bread-wagon. Sometimes he would appear very kind to the boys and then again quite the reverse. I saw him come in one time, and while going .tip tho street, ohebf the fellows ‘ w*3 in his way. Hd struck him with the fiat of his hand, made hi* no-o bleed. INTERESTING FROM MEXICO. The Attach on the Belgian Embasisy by Guerillas—General Foury and Three Others Killed. By the arrival of the Morning Star and Eagle from Havana, the New York Herald has dates from Mexico to the 8th iust. THE GUERILLA ATTACK ON THE BELGIAN EMBASSY. Tlie Belgian embassy took leave of their Majesties last Saturday, and left yesterday by diligence for Vera Cruz, in order to take passage in the North American packet of the 8th iust. Unfortunately before the dili gence had arrived at Rie Frio, it was stopped by a band of brigands. The members of the Belgian mis sion, who were accompanied by three or lour soldiers within and outside the vehicle, took immediate steps to defend themselves, whereupon the - brigands ske daddled with precipitate haste, not before they had fired a volley, by which Capt. D’Huart and Gen. Foury and two other persons were killed. The same evening notice of the occurrence was re ceived in Mexico city, and his Majesty the Emperor set out with a French escort for Rio Frio. Havana, March 17, 1866. The French steamship Panama arrived yesterday, three days from Vera Cruz. She brings dates from the port of departure to the 13tli and from the city of Mexico to the 8th. There is an account of a defeat of the Juarists tinder Porfirio Diaz. Leiua, Peza, Lopez, Orozco and Seguro Strange to say, everybody and everything was cap tured, except the leaders, who are reported to have escaped on foot, the attacking party being cavalry. All this is said to have taken place near Cuajimicul&pa. The Emperor of Austria has just sent, by the Count Bombeiles, the original coat of arms of Montezuma and one of the original letters of Herman Cortez of Mexico. They are from the Royal Museum of Vienna. Washington, March 21, 1866.

Proposed Amendment. A Washington letter of the 2lst says there are in the city but four of the United States Senators elect from the Southern States, viz: Messrs. Sharkey of Missis sippi, Cali of Florida, Hunt and Parsons of Alabama. Tlit* Southern Senators and Representatives elect havt not had a formal consultation upon Senator Stewart’« resolution giving universal suffrage for amnesty, as has been reported, but they have so far as heard from disapproved the suffrage proposition, and represent that it will not be entertained by any of the Southern States. It is reported upon good authority that the sub-committee of the Senate caucus of Republican had finally agreed upon a resolution fixing the basis of representation. When Mi\ Stewart’s proposition was offered, in the Senate, this committee bad adopted something like the amendment proposed by Mr. Doo little, but striking out the word “voters,” and in serting thereof the. word citizens.” They have now considered the Stewart resolution, and a report from the committee is expected to-morrow.

The Overland Mail Stage on tho Denver City and Atchison was the scene, on the 11th inst, of a singular and desperate tragedy. Of the five passengers one was a German named Fred. Henshild, who, at dead of night, when all but himself were asleep, rushed upon them with knife and pistol, with the apparent Inten tion of murdering every one, including the driver, Mr. Lewis A.
