Letter From Ex-President Davis. —We spread bofore our readers, says the Fayetteville News, of the Ist inst., the fol lowing letter from Ex-President Davis, in response to one from the ladies of Fayette ville, enclosing a check lor Mrs Davis. lie appreciates the sympathy which his country women feel for his family: “Fortress Monroe, Va., 1 22d April, ISBO. J Mrs. J. K. Kvus, Fayetteville, N. C. : My Dear Madam: I have the honor to acknowledge yours of the 14th iust., en closing a check to he forwarded to Mrs. Davis as a present from the ladies of Fay etteville. Sadly remembering how ynur homes were desolated during the war, I could not have expected you in the midst ot the ruin to have been mindful of the wants of those at a distance. Nothing could add to my admiration for the heroic, self-denying, Christian virtues of my countrywomen, for the measure was full to overflowing. Nor could anything increase the gratitude with which I will ever recur to their confidence and sympathy. It only remains to assure you, timl the'ladies whom you represent, that I am most gratefully aud respectfully your friend and obedient servant, Jefferson Davis. Would to God Mr. Davis could know of the deep sympathy which his sufferings and annoyances evoke at the South ! W onld to God that he conld look into the hearts of his countrymen and countrywomen, and know exactly how they love him, and how they silently pray for his deliverat ce. We know it would cheer the darkness of his prison cell with a light which could not fail to encourage the bravo heart that yearns for freedom, aud the loved ones who are cruelly separated from his embrace. Arrival of Mrs. Davis at Fortress Monro*. —Mrs. Jefferson Davis, her child, and servant, arrived at Fortress Monroe on the 3d instant in the steamer from Bal timore. After breakfast at the Hygoia Hotel, she was waited upon by one of Gen eral Milos’ aids, who escorted her into the Fort, where a most affecting meeting took place between Mr. and Mr*.- Davis. The conditions upon which she js allowed to Visit her husband have Dff^tlßDSpltSll. Mrs. Davis is direct from Montreal. —Wc find the following paragraph in a late number of the Home Journal: “Roger A. Pryor, late a General in the Confederate service, as many of o«r readers know, has resided in New York since the close of the war, and followed the practice of his profession—the law. In this he has been very successful. He has been intrusted with some important cases, aud has given general satisfac tion. We announced, some time since, that Mr. Pryor was about to associate himself in business with a talented young lawyer of this city. The gentleman re ferred to is Mr. Thomas W. Pittman, who has for a long time held a responsi ble civic position. Mr. Pittman is known as an able counsellor, but not for that alone. His literary talents are of a very high order, and he has written some poems that have earned him a reputa tion. The firm, as now established, is styled Messrs. Pryor & Pittman, and their office is situated at No. 95, Liberty street. We would advise our best friends to keep clear of the law, if they can ; but, if caught in its meshes, they will be ably and faithfully served by the two scholars and gentlemen mentioned as aforesaid. —Edward Murray and wife, of Boston, Mass., have brought a suit for SSOOO against the physicians of the Boston city hospital, for making an autopsy upon the body of their son, who died at the hospital, without obtaining their consent. [Very naughty of the doctors to let the son die, without the consent of his parents.]— Charleston Bevelling News. —A shoemaker in New Qrleanswasso overcome by the birth of a daughter that he cut out sixteen pairs of Congress boots all for one foot, broke a temperance pledge, got into a fight with a sailor and fell overboard. —When a man uses the phrase “every one says,” wliat number of persons does ho mean ? If he is asked, he will proba. bly find some difficulty in fixing the number at seven. —Why is the suspension of the Habeas Corjius act in Ireland beneficial (o the Fenians? Because it quickens their apprehension. ■ —Why is a doll like jelly ? Because it is made with eyes in glass (isinglass). —The Centre of attraction—Stephens. apprehension New Advertisements.

Professor of Medical Chemistry in the Medical College of Georgia , at Augvsta; aild Formerly Surgeo't in the Provisional Army of the Confederate Slatet The SOUTHERN MEDICAL and SIR. GICAL JOURNAL, of Augusta, Georgii, was established iu 1836, by the late Professor Milton Antony, the illustrious founder of the Medical College of Georgia, and basil ways commanded the respect and patronage of the Profession, not only as one of the oldest ami largest American Periodicili, but chiefly by those valuable original com municatio is, contributed by the most emi nent, scientific men and practitioners of the Southern States, which have enriched its pages during the past thirty years. The volumes already issued, embrace over six teen thousand closely printed pages, con taining more than six hundred original communications from professional men throughout the jSouthern States, besides an immense number of valuable articles, select ed from its ample list of American and foreigu exchanges. During the recent dvil war, the publica tion of the SOUTHERN MEDICAL AND SURGICAL JOURNAL was necessarily sus pended. At the close of a bloody aud dis astrous war, which has ended in thedestruc* tion and surrender of the Southern urmies, and in the destruction and capture of the archives of the Confederate Govern meet, and of the immense stores of medical facts and observations accumulated by the Medical Officers of the Confederate Army, under the direction of their intelligent and efficient Surgeon General, it is believed by medical men of the highest standing in this section of the South, that it is important to estab lish at this time a Medical Periodical of sufficient size to furnish ample room for the publication of the valuable experience of the Medical Officers of the late Confederate Army. It will bo tho earnest effort of the Editor to sustain the former usefulness of this Journal as a medium for the communici tion of the discoveries and advancing doc trines of science and of all the department of Medicine, aud of the facts and discove ries tending to develop the material pro®- perity of the South, and especially of the valuable Medical statistics and observations of the recent disastrous revolution. In view o? the good accomplished in times past by tho publication of the SOUTHERN MEDICAL AND SURGICAL JOURNAL, the Editor feels no hesitation in urging its claims upon its former patrons and friends. The SOUTHERN MEDICAL AND,SUR GICAL JOURNAL will be issued every TWO MONTHS, commencing Ist of July, 1806, and each number will coutain ONH HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SIX PAGES of printed matter, (octavo); the yearly publication will therefore number One Thousand and Fifty-six pages, aud be equal in sige to the largest American and EurO' pean Journals.
