With a swiftness and completeness that were almost magical fin* imperi ous ami self-willed leader of the sp eeding states dropped out of gtncrul attention on the collapse of his gov ernment. For more Ilian ten years the currents have swept by him care lessly, and nothing has been beard of him except that hiH name wan here aud I lore woven into tbe growling platitudes of some northern editor, or borne on tbe huzzas of son sional southern audience. Mr Davis now comes to the front will) a his tory of secession ami the war ot t cession—that is, a defense as well a history—and that being aggressi as well aa aulhorilalivc, must com mand very wide attention. In view of the nature of tbe forthcoming book and its distinguished character, ii becomes interesting to know some thing of Mr. Davis’ history for the past decade, the manner of his re search ami writiug ami the influence* and inspirations under which be bn* prepared his defense and justittcuth n of tiie most gigantic civil war modern limes. It may be premised I bat Mr. Dav retirement lias been purely vnlu* \ ry. At the close of the war lie tie tiie flisl place in tbe sympathy ui affections id'bis people, Just as I bore tlie larger share ot northern odium and hatred. He could have been a most potential factor in south ern affairs had be minded to enter tbe aiena, but be seemed to tit der- stand from tbe first that, being tbe head ami front of the supreme failure, it wouid not become him to expostu late with tbe victors or argue over tiie small details of nadjustment. The leader of the southern armies, General Lee, scenitd io have been governed by tbe same perro of digni ty, and no persuasion ever induced him to enter actively into public life afler lie surreudeied bis sword at Appomatox. Mr. Davis’ seclusion has been absolute. Without being inaccessible be hasbeen silent. Anti after a political revolution that sur passed lu Importance even the war itself it may be said that to neither friend nor foe has he offered ml vice or uttered a remonstrance. This policy of withdrawal on tbe part of Mr. Davis has extended even to Ills busi ness affairs and has been sublimated into a f.ort of abnegation. He lias seen bis estates swept away and lias raised no hand to stay them; he has turned away from business opportu nities D at were made for Ills behoof, ami it may be literally said of him tliat, until be received it fiom tiie hands of a woman, he haH had no home. He has alternated between Memphis, New Orleans, and Missis sippi City, living in dignily. A PRIVATE bUUrfCRlPTloN. It is known to his friends that Mr. Davis bus been very poor since 1870. Borne years ago, I barn upon the very best of authority, II came to tin knowledge of G<*v. Cofquiif, of Geor gia, that (be < x-presldeut was in ac tuai need of funds. Gov. Colquitt at once quit tly consulted (bv. Hampton aud others, and a fund of $4,000 was raised at once. This was sent to Mr Davis with a ieltei in which it wu: stated that il bud been raised solely among Ids ex-colleagues, and in Hindi u way that if it were returned it could not And its way to the original sub scribers Mr. Davis repaid in a dig nified but appreciative letter, saying tliat under the eircu looks out upon the gulf that pours its crisp waters upon a white beach that stretches to the front gate. The pi azza is one of Mr. Davis’ favorite places, aud the visitor in the morn ing is apt to see him sitting bv the side of a large, round table, which is >vered with books and papers, studying and making notes. His real work shop, however, Is a little house of two rooms, that is upon the right of the mansion, slightly to the front of it, and about fifty yards dis tant. On the other side of the man sion is a counterpart of tills little cot tage, which was formerly tbe work mp of Mrs. Dorsey,whe was a some- bat prolific, author, and it is still stocked with a line miscellaneous li brary. Tbe rooms in which Mr. Da vis wrote the history of the war are neatlv but comfortably furnished. The front room, entered from a low piazza, is the library. It is filled to the celling with books and papers, ull bearing on the war. There is a rough ladder platform by which the upper shelves muy be readied. Mr. Davis is quite proud of tills library, which, be says, is probably tbe oompletest collection of books bearing on the war, its causes and its conduct now in existence. Your correspondent i oticed on tbe shelves such light and gosnny books as “Four Years in tbe Fad He,” “Surrey of Efgfe's Nest,” Ac , und accepted them as evidence of tbe euro with which the distin- gushed author had gathered every volume that could fix an incident or indicate a sentiment. Over the plain wooden mantel is a large steel engraving, ihe only decoration lu the room. HOW HE WORKS. In the center of tbe room stand large table,on which Mr Davis wri or dictates. lie write* a great deal himself, but occasionally dictates— always in a long-handed writer. Maj.'W.T. Walthall began with him us secretary, but Judge Tenney, editor of “Appleton’s Encyclopedia,” and Gen. Joe Davis, bis nephew, have been with him for the past ytar. The room adjoining the library is a simply furnished room, In which there 1h u lounge, on which Mr. Davis takes au occasional nap. He is very regular und systematic, giving about six hours a day to actual work. He is careful to the extreme about all that lie wiites, but uever changes the proofs when they are sent back to him, willing in the first place with decision and accuracy. He dresses plainly, his usual costume being dark trousers and a long, modest colored dressing gown. He takes a great deal of exercise, the climate being so mild that he caw walk on tbe beach under the orange trees, or any where about the place, in ids dressing gown almost any month in the year—except for the last few mouths of excessively cold eather. The gift of Beauvoir has made him easy us to worldly affairs, lid he bus had f**r years nothing to lake bis attention from bis work. There have been few visitors ut Beauvoir since Mrs. Dorsey died, and not many during her lifetime. Occasionally acorrespondeut of some newspaper drops in; once in a while nn excursion train dumps out a load of people, who scurry out to catch a sight of their ex president, ami fre quently some old general or promi nent Confederate comes out for a talk on some point, to the discussion of which he has been invited by Mr. Davis or lias been attracted of him self. Gen. Marcus Wright, who has charge of tbe Confederate archieves at Washington, lias been in almost constaift correspondence with Mr. Davis, lias had thousands of original documents copied from the archieves, and has spent some weeks at Beuu- al tenor, and maintains with unsha ken firmness all the points that were put to the arbitrament of the sword. Mr. Davis writes concisely, however, and manages to consume less than half of his first volume with the cau ses of secession and his justification for it.. Tbe rest or the work is de voted to a narrative of the struggle, with comment so sparing tlmtit bare ly throws light on the motives and purposes of an Administration that perished “on the wing” und left no archive*. Mr. Davis is thoroughly satisfied with his work and confer sis himself pleased at the thoroughness with which helms been able to fix all details and support all assertions with documentary proof, EFFORTS TO SECURE PEACE. As to the history of the efforts made to secure peace, lie says that the facts show that he did all that an honorable leader of brave and devoted men could do to secure peace. Upon this point the discussion provoked by Mr. Davis’ book will develop something new. Upon the name of the book, “The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government,” Mr. Davis was decided, even against the protest of friends, who objected that it suggested the title of another work. The sale of tho book will be, if is expected, something enormous, und applications for agencies art* hur rying forward, the first editions being expected within a month or six weeks. Mr. Davis will take so me months of complete leisure, although his health is much better than it was when he begun his work. Tbe quiet days at Beauvior, tbe bracing air of the Gulf and the systematic wmk have filled tbe old man with strength. Ho says, however, that he will not take part in flic discus don that will follow tbe publication ot his book, except to furnish tiie ;>i would he compelled to retain the amount sent, but that tii lion must not be repeated as he could consent to rtceive nothing more, adding that there dreds of fatherless clidd owh who needed it worn In the same spirit Mr. I dined ail t*slimonial* and avoided when pos-si lie r< cognition.
