[From the N. 0. Beo. Yho Kxotlua of tho ConfcUoiuto Cabi net from Duuville, Va., to IVashiu^. ton, Ga* MB. Editor:—-Thinking fomo of your readers tlosire to bo informed of tho last, dyinpr hours of the Into Oonfednrnlo (lov- erninent, 1 liave determined to ^ivoyoua brief account of tho journey of JoHorson Davis and Cabinet from Danville, Va., to Washington, (la. After the fall of Rich mond, Danville was Holeoled us tho tem porary scat of Government. Admiral Ralph Semmos, formerly of the Alabama, was made a Brigadier General and placed in command of the defenses of Danville, which wore manned by a naval brigade, transformed into bnltorios of light artil lery, supported by one or two battalions of promiscuous troops, belonging to the Virginia Army, who were absent on fur lough at the time of (lie battles before Petersburg and were then returning to their respective commands. Horn for a while the fugitive Government rested se cure, but as aoon ms authentic information wus received of tho surrondcr of (ion. Leo and of his hitherto invincible army, the chiefs of tli0 different departments pucked up bag and baggage, and hurried away by railroad to Greensboro, N. (). At Greensboro the writer of this articlo was specially Authorised to raise a com pany of eoloct Missitsippians, belonging to tho Virginia army, for a mounted es cort to the President. Ilia life had been attempted throe times before leaving Richmond, and many of the North (.’i limans worn kuown to hato him. On the I8th of April the Cabinet, consisting of Mr. Davis, Secretaries Benjamin, Breck inridge, Mallory, Postmaster General Reagan, and tho following named officers belonging to the President’s staff, viz: Colonel John P. Wood, Colonel Thomas L. Lubbock, (formerly Governor of Tex as,) Col. Wm. Preston Johnson, (son of Goneral AlbertHidnny Johnson,)and Col- onol Burton N. Uur/ison* (Private S ’cro- taryjsotout from Greensboro on horse back to seek a place of greater safety further South. Two divisions of cavalry, commanded by Generals Dibbn ll and Ferguson, wore detached from Wheeler’s corps, to protect and guard tho front and roar of tho distinguished cavalcade. A long wagon train, containing tho personal baggogn of tho Cabinet and the most valu able archives of the wsning Government, also composed a part of tho column. We rode leisurely along from twenty t » twen ty-five miles a day until we arrived at Charlotte, N. .C., where wo balled four or live daje, during which time Generals Johnston and Sherman were negotiating a treaty of poaco, of which Air. Davis ap proved, and said it was tho only thing that could bo dono under tho circumstances. Hero Mr. Davis received a tolcgrarn from General Breckinridge, who had re mained behind n few dnys with Johnston's army, announcing tho aasnsrination of President .Lincoln. Ho expressed his sin- core regrots at this sad occurrence, and said: “Thore is no event that, has hap pened since tho commencement of tho war, that X more deeply deplore than this lamentable assassination. 1st. Hecuuse murders, such as this, never benefit any cause, but are calculated to injure. ‘2d. The Confederate Government will bo cen sured for complicity und participation in this horriblo tragedy, .’’d. In case tho Confederate Government is finally over thrown wo could have expected greater leniency and moro concessions from M r. Lincoln, than I fear bis successor will grant ue." I mention fhis declaration of Mr. Davis in order to show tho assertions made by his enemies that ho knew 1 f tho conspiracy against tho life of Lincoln and encourogod it, Is a malignant and willful falsehood. So soon as President .Johnson refused to approvo the. treaty authorized by Mr. Lincoln and agreed upon by Gen* ernL Johnston*and Nhorman, the Cabinet set out on their journey Southward with all possible spued. Kilpatrick’s cavalry were closo upon our mar and the commands of J >ioLj-el 1 and Ferguson wore greatly demoralized. Wo finally reached Abbeville, S. C., on tho lvt day of May, aud hero tho Federal cavalry were but a tvw miles dirlaul from the town. 1 received orders lo got my cotnmaud iu readiness to march 011 tho night ol the 1st, lit 10 o'clock, and lull in the rear of the Cubmet. 1 was ul»o in structed not to tell who wo were or whith er wo were going, Lo such i»ui>oiu a» may enquire.

Meet me South of the Chattahoochee, os this Department has been surrendered without my knowledge or consent/’ He seemed to be muoh depressed by the cares that weighed upon his mind, but was still hopeful to the last. Mn. Davis is a man of principle—not of policy. He would not swerve an inch I'rurn what he believed to be right to oblige the world. He is a man of bitter preju dices and strong personal attachments. Hushed his blood freely on the fields of Moxico in defense of the star spangled banner, and may we not hope that President Johnson will display as much magnanimity and morcy to him a9 ho re ceived from Mr. Davis while the latter was President of the Confederate States and the former in his power. Juvknih. ‘Tew Orleans, La., Nov. 19, 1805. A Young Philosopher, “Tho Suspension Bridge over the Nia gara River is one of the grandest struc tures of the kind in tho world,” sail Mr. Putnam, the allusion being called forth by the mention of Niagara Biver. “It is built of wires—is it not?’’ asked David. “It is; the cables upon the plankibg of the bridge is laid, are bundles of wires, which are much stronger than the same weight of metal would be in any other “i don't see how they got the cables over the rivor. My fathei has been there, and he says that, below the falls, tho stream runs in an immense chasm, about two hunnred feet deep.” “You are a philosopher, David; can you soe no way in which the cable could bo stretched over the chasm ?” “I don't know, sir; I think it would be a rather difficult job, and I should want to think it over some time before I under took it,” answered David, with a smile. “Think, then, and let us know how you would overcome the difficulty.” David’s brow contraotcd with the foroe thought, as lie pictured to himself the vast chasm of Niagara, and triod to devise a molhoj for spanning its distant shores. ‘I have read of something which, I think, suggests a way to do it. In an ac count of Francit’a luefboats and life cars, l saw a picture of persons on shoro in the not of discarging from a cannon a ball, to which a long line was attached. The ball whs to bo fired over a wrecked vessel, so as to lodge the line on board, and thus opeu n communication with the shores. 1 be* lievo 1 should get a line across tho chasm in the same way.” ‘If your .machinery were of the right kind, very likely you would succeed ; but that was not tho way in which the gull was spanned when the wire cables were laid. Do you remember how the British sailors got a rope over a top of Ponapey’s Pillar, at Alexander, by the aid of which they climbed to the summit, and drank a bowl of punch there?’ ‘Ido, sir; they used a kite. Having passed a string over the top of the pillar, the}’ drew up a rope with it, by which they climbed up.’ 'That was precisely the plen adopted in passing the cables over the N iagara. These suspension bridges are not, it would seem, a modern invention, for we find them in uso among the original Inhabitants of Chili, and other South American coun tries. Of course they wero very rudely constructed, but the plan is substantially tho same.’ ‘You promised to tell us something about animals to-day,’ said one of the bo.vs. *J ust so, John ; your dog killed a wood chuck yesterday, and you wished to know what became of ttio woodchucks during the winter. X will tell you. But to whom nro wo indebted for our knowledge of birds, reptiles, animals, plants, etc. ?’ ‘To Cuvier, Buffon, Lhtnties, Agossin, Audubon, Wilson, Goodman, Richard son, and others/ replied a little girl. ‘Very well; now who was the most no- tod ornithologist?’ ‘Audubon.’ ‘Right; he devoted all his life to the study and delineation of birds. He used to bo absent from his family two or three ycurs at a time, and traveled over a large portion of our territorv, painting pictures of all birds he could find, and inquiring into their nature and habits. 1 mention this to show you how much labor and pains liavo been expended in procuring tho information, which the student can have by glancing bis eye over the printed page. 'Now for the woodchucks. Can any of you tell me to what family of aniraalB he belongs ?’ ‘To the marmot family,’ replied David, who had been an attentive student of tho Cyclopedia of Natural Science, in the li brary of referonc^books betonging to the Seminary. ‘You are right, David. There are sev eral spec es of marmot One inhabits the mountain regions of Kurope, burrowing in the ground, and living upon vegetable and barks. Another Is the woodchuck, found in most of the Northern States of our country. They feed upon vegetables, and you know they are a deadly enemy to the farmer, because they eat up bis beans and his clover. They burrow into the ground for the distance of eight or ten foot, where tho hole terminates in a large chamber, which the prudent housekeeper lines with grass or other soft substances. Horo they spend the winter in a dormant Ante; that is, they take what is called their winter sleep. What are such animals called, David?* 'Hypernaling animals/ ‘As soon as tne cold weather comes, and the animals' supply of food is cut off, they fall into this dormant state, and remain in ibis condition until roused by the warmth of spring. Frogs, toads, snakes, squirrels, woodchucks, and many other animals or this kind/ ‘Wliat do they lay up a stock of food lor, if they sleep all wioter? The squir rel fills his hole with nuts/ ‘They sre supposed to feed on these stores till overtaken by their long sleep. They certainly do not eat during their long sleep.’ 'The prairie dog belongs to the marmot family—does it not?’ asked David. ‘It does. These little animals are social in thoir habits.

Pensacola, which still preserved a coquettish relic of old Spanish habits, received the proud and confident eoldiora of the Confederacy with unbounded hospitality and kindness. There wore found the flower of Ala bama, Louisiana, Mississippi und Georgia. It was at Pensacola that Dreux’s Battal ion was formed pluvious to its departure for Virginia, Cop pen’s Louisiana Zouaves followed, then »Sl. Paul’s ba talioa oT Chasseurs a Pied. The justly celebrated Statu Continental Artillery, of Mobilo, commanded then by Captain Homer, the 1st Florida Infantry, the 1st Mississippi Volunteers, the 1st Ala bama, the 5th Georgia, Clanton’s dashing company of Mounted Rifles, the Natchez und Augusta Washington Artillery, the 1st Louisiana Regulars, with Gladden as Colonel and Dan. W. Adams as Lieuten ant Colonol, were amongst the finest troops that ever took tho field. Alas! how few could now answer the roll call who, four years ago, luxuriated in all the pride of youth ana hope. And tho poor obi Spanish town, whose narrow and antique looking streets, low roofed buildings and smiling gardens still seemed to cherish the memory of the proud days when she was one in that crown of jewels of tho powerful monarch over whnie dominions the sun never sets. Poor Pensacola 1 how fallen. The rude hand of war has levelled it to the ground. Wilson’s Zouaves have laid in ashes her modest, but vonerated build ings; and tbe old church, where the word 01 God had been preached since the days of her foundation, is now no more. Her noble hearted men, her lovely wo men, have been driven as exiles and refu gees throughout and over tbe broad extent of the South ; aud, when returning after years of sufferings, they soek in vain even for the desolated spot where stood once the old ancestral mansion in which so many happy days hud beon snent. But let us forget those sad scenes and hopefully look to thu future. The town is slowly, but steadily emerg ing from her ruins. The immense lumber trade, which had of luto yours supplied the uavies of the world, will soon bo re organized and again cover her magnificent harbor witli the tings of all the civilized world Wo soon hope to witness renewed activity in her navy yard, which, through the prejudices of Congress against the great, Christian and useful institution of slavery, had been allowed to lie idle ; and the completion of her railroad communi cations with Mobile and .Montgomery will reopen her trade to the world. From tho interesting sheet before us, we notice that a cargo of railroad iron from New York lias been shipped and is daily expected, and the balance needed has been contracted for in England. Tbe first cargo will complete twelve miles, whieh, with the eight miles thul never were destroyed, will make twenty miles, or half the dis tance required to roach Pollard. We wish prompt success to our friends and neighbors, and at tho same time con gratulate them to learn tbut ail military rule has ceased with tli om. Collection of Debts. Everybody in Alabama, and we suppose in other Southern Status, is looking out to see what tho Legislative power will do for tbe relief of debtors. It is to be feared that ibis anxiety to know whftt will be done for thorn, may lead tho debtor class to overlook what they should doforthem« selves. (, Thu very first duty which, in these dis astrous limes, every man owes, not to his creditors alone or chiefly, but to himself, his family and society, Is to preserve his integrity unstained. Much rhetorical flourish has boon ox pended about "times that try men’s souls” ; but thero ia proba bly no test of human virtue more severe, than that which, in times like these, calls upon a man faithfully to meet pecuniary obligations contracted before the civil war. Almost every man in tho Southern coun try lias suffered great looses, which no prudence on his part could prevent. The danger is that mon will be tempted to offset such losses against the just claims of creditors. The man who is disposed to evade tha payment of his debts, on thu ground that be bus been impoverished by tbe ravages of war, should remember that his creditor has been stripped by the same means. And that creditor will bo doubly unfortu nate, if, in addition to his share in a com mon calamity, he must lose also what that calamity has not taken from him—his honest pecuniary claims upon others. We would, if we could, impress upon overy individual debtor, that by the vol untary payment ol his debts to the extent of his means, he is providing for himself a bettor possession than money can pur chase—self respect and the confidence of bis fellow men. Under ordinary circum stances, even selfish and fraudulent men will pay debts, beeau»o it is their selfish interest to do so. Ho that shows himself faithful to his engagements, amidst & uni versal crash, will bo trusted always and to any extent. His children will commence life with the grand advantage of being descendants of an honest father. We conclude as we began. Let overy man who looks to a future for himself or his family, cease to expect exoneration from his debts through Legislative action. Lot him pay what ho can, compound fairly with his creditors, and begin the world anew—an honest, bold huurtea man, not a sneaking, knavish bankrupt. [J '.u/aulu News.
