Treason.—His Opinion of Gran', McClellan, Pope, and other Union Officers; also of Bragg, Lee, and Pemberton.—His Flight from Richmond, and A rrest. Jane 16.—Called on Mr. Davis with Capt. Jerome L lit low, officer of the day. Found him continuing t improve in general health—much stronger than ho had been on his arrival. Complained ol‘a stricture or tightening of the chest, accompanied by a dry cough. Ordered him to exercise his arms by swinging them back and forth horizontally twice or thrice a day. Standing at the embrasure, the white sails of a passing vessel suggested the trade and commerce of the James, for the mouth of which it appeared steer ing. Together in fancy we reascended the banks of the river, with which Mr. Davis was familiar, lie asked the fate of all the beautiful plantations along its shores; of Brandon, belonging to the Harrisons,on the south bank, a place Geu. Butler had harried; of West- over; and beautiful Shirley on the north bank, just opposite Bermuda Huudreds, belonging to that noble Virginian of the old school, Mr. Hill Carter. Told Mr. Davis it was the only one left standing, in all its beautiful antiquity, of the palaces that once lined, the James. Carter liud been kind to the wounded of Mc Clellan's soldiers and had taken no part in the war, though very possibly a Southern man in sentiment. His place consequently had been not only spared from idcursion, but guarded with jealous care by daily de tails, and was the green spot in the desert made by the movements oi contending armies. Talking of Gen. Butler, said Mr Davis, with a smile, Richmond owes hnu something, if only for giving it the best ioke of the war. He referred to the Dutch Gap canal, considered as a war-measure, lor as a com mercial one, improving the navigation of the Jame9, it was full oi advantage. It was a task imposing great hardships upon many thousand soldiers the fortunes of the war would have been changed, and .Sherman hurled back to Nashville, over a sterile and wasted country—his retreat little les9 disastrous than Napoleon’s from Moscow. He did not do so, and was relieved—General Hood, a true aud spirited soldier, taking his place—but the opportunity was then gone ; aud to this delay, more than to any other cause, the Southern people will attribute their overthrow, when ever history comes to be truly written. Bragg's victory over Kosecrans at Chickamauga. Mr. Davis regarded as one of the most brilliant achievements of the war, considering the disparity of the forces. The subsequent concentration of Grant and Hooker with Bosecrans,' and the victory of their combined forces at Lookout Mountain, was the result of an audacity or desperation which no military pru dence could have foreseen. So confident was Bragg in the impregnability of his position, that immediate^ after Chickamauga he detached Longstreet, with 10,000 men—about a third of his entire force—to make a demonstration against Knoxville, thus indirectly threatening Grant’s communications with Nashville. Bragg’s position was finally carried by the overwhelm ing numbers of the enemy. The opponents of his ad ministration censured Bragg for detaching Lougstreet, but the subsequent events which made that move ment unfortunate were of a character which no pru dence could have foreseen, no military calculation taken into view as probable. All such reflections were idle, however, concluded Mr. Davis, and he must not be again betrayed into their indulgence. Success is virtue and defeat crime. This is the philosophy of life—at least the only one the great masses of mankind feel ready to accept. Woe to the conquered is no le9s a popular cry in the nine teenth century than when the barbarians first yelled it as they swarmed with dripping swords to the sack of Rome. Mr. Davis then spoke of the circumstances attend ing his flight from Richmond. On leaving Richmond he went first to Danville, be cause it was intended that Lee should have moved in that direction, falling back to make a junction with Johnson's force in the direction of Roanoke River. Grant, however, pressed forward so rapidly, and swung so far around, that Lee was obliged to retreat in the direction of Lynchburg with his main force, while his vanguard, which arrived at Danville, insisted on fall ing back and making the rallying-poiut at Charlotte, in North Carolina. In Danville Mr. Davis learned of Lee’s surrender. Immediately started for Goldsboro’, where ho met and had a consultation with Geu. Johnson, thence going on South. At Lexington he received a dispatch from Johnson, requesting that the Secretary of War (Geu. Breckinridge) should repair to his headquarters near Raleigh—Gen. Sherman having submitted a Disposi tion for laying down arms which was too comprehensive in its scope for any mere military commander to decide upon. Breckinridge aud Postmaster-General Reagan immediately started for Johnson's camp, where .Sher man submitted the terms of surrender on which an armistice was declared—the same terms subsequently disapproved by the authorities at Washington. One of the features of the proposition submitted by Gen. Sherman was a declaration of amnesty to all per sons, both civil and military. Notice being called to theiactparticulUrly, Sherman said, “Imeau just that;” and gave as his reason that it was the only way to have perfect peace. He had previously offered to furnish a vessel to take away any such persons as Mr. Drvis might select, to be a freighted with whatever personal property they might want to take with them, aud to go wherever it pleased. Gen. Johnson told Sherman that it was worse than useless to carry such a proposition as the last to him. Breckinridge also informed Gen. Sherman that his proposition contemplated the adjustment of certain matters which even Mr. Davis was not empowered to control. The terms were accepted, however, with, the understanding that they should be liberally construed on both sides, and fulfilled in good faith—Gen. Breck inridge adding that certain parts of the terms would require to be submitted to the various State Govern ments of the Confederacy for ratification. These terms of agreement between Johnson and Sherman were subsequently disapproved by the au thorities at Washington, and the armistice ordered to cease after a certain time. Mr. Davis waited in Char lotte until the day aud hour when the armistice ended; then mounted his horse, and, with some cavalry of Duke’s brigade (formerly Morgan's) again started southward, passing through South Carolina to Wash ington, in Georgia. At an encampment on the road, he thinks, the cavalry of hi9 escort probably heard of the final surrender of Gen. Johnson, though he him self did not until much later. Being in the advance, he rode on, supposing that the escort was coining af- . and must have been inspired by Grant’s similar attempt to | ter efianqe the coarse ot the Mississippi at Vicksburg. If | As with his party he approached the town of Wash- successtul the canal ouly avoided one battery, Fort ■ mgton, he was informed that a regiment, supposed to * , ’ J lave heen carried by a resolute j belong to tho army of Geu.

There was no specie nor public treasure in the train- nothing but his private funds, and of them very little. Some wagons had been furnished by the quartermas ter at Washington, Georgia, for the transportation of his family and the paroled men who formed their escort, aud that was the only train. Mr. Davis had not seen his family for some months before, and first rejoined them wt%n he rode to their defence from Washington. June 23d.—I received the following letter from Mrs. Dans: Dated Savannah, Ga., June 14th, 1865. Dr. Craven—My Dear Sir : Pursued by dreadful pictures thrown before me every day in excerpts from Northern correspondents, and published in the daily journals, in which the agony inseparable from defeat and imprisonment is represented to have been height ened for my husband by chains and starvation, I can no longer preserve the silence which I feel should be observed by me, in your failure to answer my letter oi the 1st inst. Can it be that these tales are even in part true? That such atrocities could render him frantic I know is uot so. I have so often tended him through months oi nervous agony, without ever heal ing a groan or an expression of impatience, that I know these tales of childish ravings are not triie- would to God I could believe that all these dreadful rumors were false as well! But there is something about them which convinces me that they are not altogether false. You must have been kind to him, else he had not told you of his suf ferings. Will you not, my dear sir, tell me the worst J Is he ill—i9 he dying ' Taken from me, with only ten minutes’ warning, I could not see any one to whom I could say say that he was quite ill; indeed, suffering from fever at the hour of our separa tion. He has been much exposed to a Southern sun in malarial districts, and I dread everything from an attack of illness in his depressed condition, even were the humanities of life manifested to him. With a blaze of light pouring upon the dilated pupils of eyes always sensitive to it; chains fettering his emaciated limbs; coarse food, served, as the newspapers describe it, in the most repulsive manner, without knife, fork, or spoon, “lest he should commit suicide,”—hope seems denied to me; yet I caunot reconcile myself to that result, which for many years must have been his gain. Will you only write me one word to say that he may recover > Will you tell him that we are well — that our little children pray for him, and miss his fatherly care—that his example still lives for them. Please tell him not to be anxious for us; that kind friends are with us, aud that (hose who love him have adopted us, too. Do uot tell him, please., that we are not permitted to leave here; for the present, we can do very well, and then I expect, every day, a permit to leave this city for one more healthy. Please try to cheer him about us for we are kindly cared for by the .Southern friends who love him here. Will you not take the trouble to write me, only this once V Can it be that you are forbidden ? Else, how could a hus band and father, a9 I hear you arc, refuse us such a small favor, productive as it would be oi such blessed comfort ? My children shall pray for you, and perhaps tho prayers of “one of these little ones” may avail much with Him who said, “Suffer them to come unto me:” and that which you have done for another may be re turned to you with usury in some less happy aud prosperous hour.

In the better days 1 of the Roman empire, when its pos sessions increased, and conquered countries came iu a few years to be integral, and even zealous members of the imperial system, it was the polidy of conciliation, following that of military conquest, which achieved the desired results. Certain laws and restrictions of the imperial government were imposed—so much an nual tribute, so many legions to our military levies, aud obedience to all such laws of the Central Govern ment as may be issued for your control. But within these lines, aud with these points conceded, the em pire strove in all minor and domestic matters to con form. in so far as might be posssible, to the former habits, customs, and laws of the people absorbed, and the independent governments superseded.

Mr. Davis remarked that the change had done him good, his last night’s sleep having been undisturbed. Ho complained of his eyes and a throbbing pain iu the back of his neck, asklug me to give the matter particular attention, as similar symptoms, at the same season last year, in Richmond had been followed by a severe billioue remittentT lever. Mr. Davis spoke of the injurious effects ot reflected 1 light upon tin in the art and practice of war which the recent strug gle had developed; this in connection with the pro gress of work on the Rip Raps, some iron clads he had seen in the roadstead, aud the fifteen-inch Rod man guns which now stand t-« barbette on each bas tion of the fort. England’s naval supremacy he considered lost by the invention of iron clads, these converting the con ditions of maritime warfare from a question of dexterity aud persouui-1 into one of machinery, and in machinery the Americans could have no superiors, while iu all other qualities they were at least the equals of the British. The science of naval gunnery had also been levolutionizciL the new prin ciple being to concentrate into a single crushing shot the former scattered forces of a broadside. Thu prob lem of the ironclad was to attain the maximum of of fensive power while exposing the least possible and most strongly armored objective points to the projec tiles of the unemy; aud in such plans of our irou-clads as he had lately seen, these desiderate seemed to have been very nearly attained. For crossing the ocean, however, and lor cruising on peaceful stations, our vessels lay too low in the water, cither for safety from storms, or for the comfort aud health of the crews and officers. If onr present vessels had in them vast wells, which, when empty, would cause the hulls to float eight or ten feet above the water, and which, on boing fllled when going iuio action, would reduce them to their present level, he thought no grander instruments of belligerency could be imagined. Wooden bottoms, with armored sides aud armored turrets, he could not but think would prove the best. The enormous weight superimposed, coupled with the rollings of the sea, must soon chafe aud wear away the rivets and plates of an iron bottom, no matter how carefully secured; while wooden hulls sat more easily on the water, and both avoided ehating aud obtained greater speed by their capacity of yielding a little. Even the sea in its laws, concluded Mr. Davis with a smile, teaches the. policy of conciliation—of concession; vessels making head way as their lines conform to the resistance of the oceau, and have some power of yielding to the pres sure of the billows. To attain the greatest speed, we should take for model the swiftest.flsli, aud conform to that as much as circumstances would permit; aud in this connection lie referred approvingly to the ci gar shaped vessels of Mr. W'nans, of Baltimore.

Mr. Davie said it was contrary to reason and the law i nut: -ns, to treat as a rebellion, or lawless riot, a movement which had be en the deliberate action ot an entire people through their duly organized State . ovarumtiits. To taK oi treason in the case of the ’Uth, was to oppose an arbitrary epithet against the parture.

He believed the terms of Johnson still in force over all the couutry east of hoochie, which had been embraced iu Johnson’s im- anthonty of all writers on international law. Vattel deducesVrom his study ol all former precedent—and all subsequent international jurists have agreed with bun—that when a nation separates into two parts, ea.il c oiming independence, and both or either set- t.fig up a new government, their quarrel, should it me to trial by arms or by diplomacy, shall be re garded and settled precisely as though it were a ouiVrence between two separate nations, which the divided sections, de facto, have become. Each must «.• tr\t: the laws of war iu the treatment of captives in battle, and such negotiations as may from Line to time arise shall be conducted as between in- ii’knt ami sovereign powers. Mere riots, or • n piracies for law lass objects, in which only limited .: .u iu ns of a people are irregularly engaged, may be pi pc rly treated as treason, aud punished as the public good may require; but Edmund Burke had ex- Lau-Ud argument on the t-ubject, in his memorable pLrast-, applied to the first American movement lor .rulependi nee: “I know not how an indictment against - whole people shall be framed.” But for Mr. Lincoln's untimely death, Mr. Davis thought, there could have been no question raised upon the subject. That e\ent—more a calamity to the 5m uth than North, in the time and manner of its tran- spiring—nud inflameu popular passions to the highest pitch, and made the people of the section which had their chief now r seek as an equivalent the life ot the chief of the section conquered. This wa9 an im pulse of passion, not a conclusion which judgment ■ r justice could support. Mr. Lincoln, through bis entire administration, had acknowledged the South as a belligerent nationality, exchanging prisoners of war, • stablishiug truces, and sometimes sending, some- • mes receiving, propositions for peace. On the last ct these occasions, accompanied by the chief member ot his cabinet, he had personally met the Commis- s.-’Ut-rs appointed by the Southern States to negutiate, going half way to meet them, not lar from where Mr. Davis now stood : aud negotiations of General Grant with General i-*«\.iust preceding the latter's surrender,_ most dis* i.u.iiy and clearly pointed to the promise of a general amnesty; Gen. Grant, in his final letter, expressing the hope that, with Lee’s surrender, “all difficulties f t :ween tlie sections might be settled without the loss *: another life,” or words to that effect. i my question what he thought of Gen. Grant, Mr. L»a\j« replied that he was a great soldier, beyond doubt, but of a new school. If he had not started wi h an euormous account iu bank, his checks would ti«vc been dishonored before the culmination was reached. A: Shiloh he was defeated the first day, and •• .uid have been destroyed or compelled to surrender ' . it morning, but lor Buell's timely arrival with a tresh and weii-disciplined reinforcement, the strength o: which had been variously stated. When Secretary of War, he thought McCleban the ablest officer iu the array, and had employed him on two important services—as Military Commissioner in the Crimea, and to explore a route for the Pacific Rail- r a j—both of which duties had been discharged in a lULunrr to increase liis reputation. He organized the Army of the Potomac admirably, but it required a • on m an dor »»f more dash to wield ihe weapon in the and. McClellan’s caution amounted very closely to Giindity—moral timidity, for he was personally brave. Gti his' first landing in the Peninsula there had been only 7.ut*o troops to meet him, aud these he should Lave rushed upon and overwhelmed at whatever cost. * huuouk, aud wishing to spare the blood of his men, Lc commenced a regular siege at Yorktown, giving his enemies tune to concentrate sufficient numbers and drive him back. As a magnanimous enemy he inspected McClellan, but thought he had been pro moted too rapidly for his own good—before he hud opened ;n command and gained tlie experience requi site for the supreme position. Had he been kept in a subordinate capacity the first tw o years of the war, n«*!ug from a division to a corps, and thence to com- maiid :n chief, he would have been the greatest of our soldiers. He had the best natural gifts, and the high est intellectual training, and was just beoming fitted, «*h l the best fitted, lor his position when removed. Had Le been supported by the government he might have token Richmond two years earlier, and it was w;th joy Mr. Davis heard of his removal after the Laities of South Mountain and Antietam. Such sacri- acet of officers to the ignorance of an unwarlike people, anxious to find in him the scapegoat for their own iack ol discipline or endurance, were unavoidable in the every stages of any popular war. Pope, while Secretary of War, he had never been idne to make serviceable, aud Pope held his own gal- His mind was not less inflated than his body. He was a kind of American gascon, but with good scientific attainments. Sumner and Sedgwick were gallant aud able soldiers—excellent - commanders in action, courteous and reliable in all the relations of bie. Hunter, of whom 1 ai-ked him specially as one of my old commanders, was his beau ideal of the mill* gentleman the soul of integrity, intrepidity, true GLrisuan piuty and honor. Mr. Davis had long been aasociabrd will, him, both in the service and socially, Federal service, with a few’ members of his staff, passed unattended over the railroad, a lew miles from the place, en route for Augusta, to receive the mus ter-rolls of the discharged troops, and take charge ol the immense military stores there that fell into Geu. Sherman’s hands by the surrender. Gen. Upton was not interfered with, the couutrj being considered at peace, though nothing could have been easier than capture, had Mr. Davis been so inclined. At this very time, however, a division ol cavalry had beeu sent into this district, which had been declared at peace and promised exemption from the dangers aud burdens of any further military op erations within its limits, for the purpose of capturing himself and party: and this he could not but regard as a breach of iailh on the part of those who directed or permitted it to be dune, though he did not wish to place himsell iu the condition of one who had ac cepted the terms of Johnson’s capitulation or taken advantage of the amnesty which bberman had offered. But the district in which he then found himsell had been proinisod exemption from lurtlier incursions, aud he did not think himsell justly liable to capture while W’ithiu its limits—though he expected to have to take the chances of arrest when once across the Chattahoochie. , Hearing that a skirmish-line, or patrol, had been ex tended across tbe country trom Macou to Atlanta and thence to Chattanooga, he thought best to go below this hue, hoping to join the forces of his relative, Lieutenant-General Dick Taylor, alter crossing the Chattahoohie. He Would then cross the Mississippi, joining Taylor’s forces to those of Kirby Smith—of whom he spoke with marked acerbity—and would Lave continued the fight so long as he could find any Confederate force to strike with him. This, not in any hope of final success, but to secure for the South some better terms than surrender at discretion. “To this complexion,” said Mr. Davis, “had the repudia tion of Gen. Sherman’s terms and the surrenders of L6e and Johnson, brought the Southern cause.” Mr. Davis left Washington accompanied by Post master-General Reagan, three aides, and an escort of ten mounted men with one pack-mule. Riding along, they heard distressing reports of bands of marauders going about the country stealing horses and whatever else might tempt their cupidity—these rumors finally. maturing into information which caused him to chango his course aud follow on to overtake the tram containing his wife and family, lor whose safety he began to feel apprehensions. This object he achieved after riding seventy miles, without halt, in a single day, joiDiug Mrs. Davis just at daylight, and in time io prevent a party lie had passed on the road from stealing her two fine carriage- horses W’hich formed particular attraction for their greed. “I have heard,” he added, since my impris onment, that it was supposed there was a large amount of specie in the train. Such was not ihe lact, Mrs. Davis carrying with her no money that was not per sonal property, and but very little of that.” Having joined bis family, he travelled with them for several days, in consequence of finding tlie region infested with deserters and robbers engaged in plundering whatever was defenceless, his intention being to quit bis wife whenever she had reached a safe portion of the country, and to bear west across the Chattahoochie. The very evening before bis ar rest helwas to have carried out this arrangement, be lieving Mrs. Davis to be now sale; but was prevented bv a report brought in through one of his aids, that a nartv of guerillas, or highwaymen, was coming that n&ht to seize the horses aud mules of his wiie’s train. It was on this report he decided to remain another night. Towards morning he had just fail en into'the*deep sleep of exbauitiuu, wLeu ws wife s faithful negro servant, Robert, came to him announcing that there was firing up the road. He started up, dressed him- self and went out. It was just at grey dawn, and b} the imperfect light he saw a party approaching tne camp. They were recognized as Federal cavalry bj the way in which they deployed to surround the train, and he stamped back into the tent, to warn his wile that the enemy w ere at hand. Their tent was prominent, being isolated from the other tents of the train; aud as he was quitting it to find his horse, several of the cavalry rode up, direct ing him to halt aud surrender. To this he gave a de fiant answer. Then one whom he supposed to be an officer asked, had he any arms, to which Mr Davis replied: “If I had, you would not be alive to ask that question.” His pistols had been left iu the holsters, as it had been his intention, the evening before, to start whenever the camp was settled; but horse, sad dle, andholaters were now in the enemy’s possession, and he was completely unarmed. Col. Pritchard, commanding the Federal cavalry, came up soon, to whom Mr. Davis said: “I suppose, sir, your orders are accomplished in arresting me. You can have no wish to interfere with women and children; and I beg they may be permitted to pursue The Colonel replied that his orders capitulation j iD{? it ou one co ior when wearv with another, and be better; but with iron-clad ships, all future engage- the Chatta- j rh ® nffinff tho forms on which it ‘had been employed ; ments must be within a te* hundred yards, and then ith the most ' the slow, crushing shot of the heavy smooth bore was aud with him— * the thing needed.
