Tlu Capture o£ Mr. Davis—A 'True

A gentleman «fca was with Mr. Davis
at the tirue cf his capture, and who gives
a plain and candid statement of the af
fair to a North Carolina paper, thus des
er-.bas what actually occurred after the
Federate had fallen upon the camp:
*in a moment Mrs Navis caught au idea
—a woman's idea, and as quickly as wa
men execute their designs, it was done.
He slept iu a wrapper—a loose one It
was yet around him. Thi3 she fastened
ere hs was aware of it, and than bidding
him adieu, urged him to go to the spring,
a short distance off, where his horses and
arms were Strange as it may seem, there
was cot even a pistol in the tent Davis
felt that his only course was to reach his
horse and arms, and complied. As he
was leaving the door, followed by a ser
vant with a water bucket, Mias Howell
dang a shawl over his head There was
no time to remove it without exposure
aad embavraa-ment, and as he had not
far to go he ran the chance exactly as it
was devised for him Iu these two ar

which so much nonsense has been spoken
and written, and under thcoe ciicamatsn

efface from the glorious old flsg of our
country a number of its stars, including
several of the original thirteen, to keep

and cur soldiers had shed their blood;
cited the fact that the Democratic party
cf the country is goon ta return to that
power in the Qnvernmant which her
statesmen alone have keen competent, to
safeiy and successfully wield; refuted
the siily stories of eternal division in tha
Democratic household, assuring his Re
publican friends that they need sot lay
the flattering unction to their souls that
any personal jealousies existed, or woaid
be permitted existence, to endanger the
harmouy and unity of the party, etc.

Bomantio iilstnry ot a s oaug F-iaiah
Criminal
[From the New Fork Herald]
Four years ago last June, a beautiful
young girl, only fourteen years of age,
upon whose cheeks the Bash ot health
vied with the freshness and beamy of the
rose, clotted lu neat and elegant apparel,
rode iu an up town stage, seated im-itde
ths wits of a merchant prince. Toe tair
Adelaide (tar that was her name) with
the skill of a muter, abstracted the lady’s
portmounais from her pocket She was
suspected, and the lady immediately
caused her arrest the testimony w*3 so
clear that, notwithsiaudihg ths apparent
(nuacentv. and striking- beamy ot the cul
prit, the jury was compelled iUd. her
guilty Among the spectators m the
court room while the trial progressed was
seen a tail, motionless looking female,
whose countenance was au exact counter
part of Dickens’ character of Fagiu This
was the mother of Adelaide Irwin, who
had, by a course or discipline, suopeeinj
in mailing her daughter a most expend
ended operator
When the jury had piououueed the Ver
dict of guilty the fair young thief exhib
ited marked sighs of penitence. She wept
bitterly, and would not ba'ocmforted;
and as a result of this, the sympathy
which pervaded the court-room reached
the bench, and under a solemn promise
of good behavior, Adelaide was bidden
to “go *,ud s.u no more ”
Boon after she was employed in a store,
manifesting much intelligence ana at
traoting anatom by her beauty, but yield
ing to her old tempter, the Recorder sea
teased her to the penitentiary tor two
years. While serving out her teua of
imprisonment oa rtfis .island, her personal
alUaouuus wote such *.a to awaken the
admiration of the son of a very respeou
hie gentleman iu toe city, whr. was pa,-
iog a Hying visit to the institution He
became so infatuetsd with the charms of
the fair Adelaide, wht,, though ciotbed in
convict’s altiie, still exhibited tvaoas cf
beauty and intelligence, that he. actually
proposed marriage, and shortly after the
happy pair doped from the penlieniiary
and resided itt tha metropolis-
They lived quietly far a while, tut she
was arrested recently on two charges—one
of stealing a lady’s valise, and another
similar to that The fond husband visit
ed ono of ths ladies who made this v* -~*
charge, and begged hc f ,u interpose wun
the authorities in her Debits'. “ now can
you love Buoh o dreadful wicked person ? ”
anquirsd tha lady “If sits is not au an
gel, ” replied tits pieader, “ I leva her for
the semblance.” Ho begged iu vain for
maroy. The Recorder sentenced her to.
impriaonmeat in the State prison for the
term of three years Her history affords
another illustration cf the Scriptural
aphorism, “ The way nf the transgressor
Is hard ”
TH» President nsl Cibintt,
Tee Washing.cs correspondent of the
New York T.-ibun e eajs that “there is not
now, nor is u beliereo that there will be,
any substantial or material difference be
tween the President end his Cabinet with
regard to the restoration cf the Southern
States. One cf the reasons for this asser
tion ia the fact that ail the proclamations
appointing the provisional Governors are
preciaely in the same words, founded on
the Tennessee arrangement, and maturely
considered by tha President and approved
by the Cabinet, showing a carefully con
.stdered plan, the Amnesty prooiafiation
being in aesor-d with that document. The
President, it is known, from the represen
tation of his intimate friends, is determin
ed to pnrsua substantially the reconstruc
tion pregramms thus laid (town, having
reasonable evidence from ths South that
it will ba successful. Many cf the ac
counts from that section are exaggerated,
and misrepresent the true condition of
pabiio opinion, Aa the result of careiui
inquiry it is believed that there is an un
willingness aa tha part of a portion of
the Cabinet to have Jefrer=ua Davis tried
for treason ; while there ;s reason for as
sorting that the President is persistent in
having him brought before a civil tribu

Tin Wlrx Trial.
It will be remembered that this trial
came to a sudden and somewhat unex
plained halt on the 22d. Tha cause is
thus explained by the Cincinnati Com
mercial ;
Tha Court on assembling, went into se
cret session, at the conclusion of which
the prisoner was remanded, and the wit
ne3sea instructed to remain iu ths city till
further oideis The Counsti
oused endeavored ta obtain knowledge of
the time for tne reassembling of the
Court, but could extract nothing [definite
ou the subject It is supposed that some
f-tuit was found in lira charges and spaci-
Scatisns, requiring them io rsmodaltd,
and it is aisc suggested that vv irz wili be
released an aoesunt of having fcesa inclu
ded iu the Shsrmat-Johaatca cartel
