October bth—Visited Mr. Davis once or twice in the interval between this date and my last; but the memoranda of auch calls cannot be foutid. Remem ber, however, that the fort was visited during the Interval by Colonel Lonis H. Pelouze, U. 8. A., of the War Department—an able, kind, and gallant young officer, whom I had previously known as Assistant Adjutant General of the Sherman expedition at Port Royal. Colonel Pelouze called for a report of the health of the prisoner, with my opinion as to the ad vlsabilily or necessity of a change in his place of con finement; visited the new quarters In Carroll Hall, and directed General Miles—being thereto empowered by hit instructions—to remove Mr. Davis from the case mate fo his new and more pleasant abode. Called this day (October 5) with Captain Korte, 3d Pennsylvania Artillery, officer of the day, and found Mr. Davis already looking much brighter, exclaiming as I entered, “The world move, after all. The panel in'the sirf* door opening on the corridor, in JrtJjci, a wncry's face was framed, gave him some an noyance, and he referred again to .'Lafayette injpo nection with the torture of a human eye constantly riveted on his movements. If his wish were to com< mit suicide, such a precaution pould prove wholly un availing. It looked rather as it’ the wish were to drive him to its commission. He then referred to some eminent French general, who, while a prisoner in England, procured and studied anatomical diagrams for the purpose of learning how life could be most certainly and painlessly lost, or with least disfigure ment. He discovered that precise part of the breast in which the heart, unprotected by any rib, lay nearest the surface. Sticking a small pin -through this spot In the diagram, he next applied the diagram to his breast, and marked, by a puncture, the exact place in which even the slight wound of a pin-prod wonld be fatal. Some time after, being transferred to France, and reincarcerated for a conspiracy against the 1U4 of the Emperor, he was found dead in his cell—the pin sticking in his heart, and the diagram, which he had never parted with, lying at his feet— This was an instance of how absurd it was to attempt preventing suicide by watchfulness. Even before leing allowed knife or fork, there was no moment in which Mr. Davis could not have thrown down his burden of life, if wicked enough to have wished bo taffag into the presence of his Creator. - Mb. Davis said bis transfer to Carroll Hall had brought back many curious remlnhwenoesof his past life. In the very building he now occupied, ho had once, as Secretary of War, extended the prerogative of demoncy to an officer, since eminently distinguished on the Federal tide, who was before (or sentenced by) a court-martial under grave cbargeB as au officer, though not effecting hia honor as a man. The coin cidences of life are very striking; of which he gave several curious examples, specially mentioning the sfrnnttaneous deaths of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson on the 4th of July, 1826, the half century an niversary of the Declaration of Independence, which had been so largely their joint work. Jefferson’s only wish When failing was to live to that morning, on waking up to which his first exclamation was: “It Is then Independence Day; Lord, now iettest thou thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have seen Thy salvation;" while the last words of Adams, his il lustrious coadjutor, were: “It is a great and a good day—Jefferson yet survives.” To many similarly strange coincidences Mr. Davis called my attention; but only those are- preserved, though 1 vaguely re member bis reciting some curious facts about the an niversaries of his birthday. Mentioned to him that I had received an order from General Miles, through Captain Church, that morn-, ing, directing “the meals for prisoner Davis to be fur nished him punctually at 8K A. m., and 3 and 8 o’clock p. M., until further orders.” These hours, I knew, did not suit his wishes or appetite, bnt of course must be accepted. He never ate more than two meals a day, and desired them more equally distributed Mr. Davis asked me some questions about tho little young, big-headed, black boy, re-christened ’Joe,” though his true name was Thomas Bailey, who now carried over and delivered his meals. The boy was from the vicinity of Richmond, and had been for some time, with other members of his family, a refu gee within our lines. It seemed natural to him to be so served, and the food came kindlier than from the hands of a soldier, though indeed, upon the whole, he had been most kindly and considerately treated by agfcJ&fstwg' spnfefft was the rancorous non-belligerents of both sections— they who had skulked the test of manhood—who would now prove most difficult to be sppessed. What they lacked of honorable record dazing the progress of the struggle, they would endeavor to make up by ferocious zeal after the victory had been decided. The principle of compensation prevailed everywhere through nature; and for the immense theoretical boon of freedom, with its consequent incalculable destruc- 41 CoarmT vwvip fpinnila n[ “Jrm»’h” maid and nurse, and the am ss situ oftty states sad or twice dipped water, and fro one could wdfk ;%rrt &■ % kbamidttafftlte I. felt as state.

Had I been a sister long absent and just returned to their home, I could have received no more tender welcome. Houses were thrown open to me, anything and everything was mine. My children had not much more than a change of clothing after all the parties who had ns in charge had done lightening our baggage, so they gave the baby dresses, and the other little ones enough to change until I could buy or make more. Unfortunately for me,, General * * * * , who, I hear, was “not to the manor born,” was in command of the district at the time. 1 asked permission to see him, and as 1 was so unwell that 1 could not speak above my breath, with a cold, and suffered from fever constantly—tho reshlt of exposure on the ship—I wrote to beg that he would come to see me, for his aide had told me the night before that I could not be permitted to leave Savannah, and having been robbed of nearly all my means, I could not afford to stay at the hotel; and, besides, as soon as I reached the hotel detectives were placed to watch both me and my visi tors, so I did not feel at libertv, thus accompanied, to go to private houses. Geueral * * * *'s aide, whose animus was probably irreproachable, but whose orthography was very bad, was directed to tell me that, except under very extra ordinary circumstances, he did not go out of his office, “and all such" (which I afterwards found to mean myself) “as desired to see him would call at his efflee.” To which I answered, that I thought illness and my circumstances constituted an 'extraordinary case; but that I was sorry to have asked anything which he “felt called upon so curtly to refuse," and requested to be informed what hour would plena him on the following dsy. and I would do myself the honor to call upon him. Whereupon the same unfortuhate, well-weaniap, ill-spelling young gentlpmun wrote -to me that “all such as desired might draw nigh from nine uutU three.” . ' I went, accompanied by General Mercer of Savan nah. Need I say that General * * * * did himself justice, and verified my preconceived opinion of him in our interview, in which he told me he “guessed I could not telegraph to Washington, write to the heads of Departments there, or to anybody, except through the regular channel approved; and I could not write to my friends, “except through the Provost Marshal's office;’’ and that I was permitted to pay my expenses, id by the committee is the nearest tie to the Japanese policy of non- : feigners.

Something—I cannot tell what, but probably the constituents of his breakfast, for he was very fond of fish—led Mr. Davis to speak of the manner in which our “fresh-water fish aTe disseminated; and bis views, though possibly old, were knew to me and of much interest. We are often astonished by finding various breeds of fish appear in some accidental cavity of the the ground which was filled with water; also, water-lillies and other aquatic plants, though the new pond has no visible connection with any old pond supplied with such production. Mr. Davis explains this by supposing that the quawk, poke, bittern, ana the various tresh-water ducks, play in the economy of nature's pisciculture a part similar to that played by bees and butterffies in the world of flowers. Bathing and feeding in some older pond frequented by fish, their feathers became impregnated with the fecun dated spawn, the seed of the water-lillies, and so forth, and these are transferred to the new pond on their first visit. The supposition of spawn beiug sucked up into the clouds and descending in rain wss not worthy of regard, though so generally accepted. If nothing else, the cold of the atmosphere at the height of the clouds would kill whatever animal life the spawn contained. The analogy of flower-life was entirely in favor of his explanation. October 13th Called with Captain Theodore Price, 3d Pennsylvania Artillery, serving on the ktoff of Major General Miles, officer of the day. Mr. Davie in good health, but complained of being treated as though he were a wild beast ou exhibition, not a prisoner of state awaiting trial. Ladies and other friends of persons in authority at the fort, were let loose on the ramparts about the hour of his walk, to •ts re-st him as though he were the caged moaster of some trsvelUng menagerie. He had endeavored to re buke -this (faring hie last walk, when he saw a group of ladies waiting for bis appearance, by turning ahort round and re-entering his cell. Dear and valuable as was the liberty of aa houi*e exercise in the open afr, there were prices at which he could not consent to purchase it, and this was of the number. His general treatment Mr. Davis acknowledged to be good, though them were in it many annoyances of detail—such as the sentry’s eye always fastened on his movements, and the supervision of hie correspondence with his wife— unworthy of sny country aspiring to magnanimity or Nreit&eii. The following letter will be read with interest as giving a moat graphic view of what the prisoner’s wife and family bad to endure from hie quitting them on board the Clyde, in Hampton Roads, down to ' day of its date:; certain pests, reflecting upon vidnala by-name, I have t aken the liberty to out, but the remainder of the letter is as written but must remain within the limits of Savannah. With many thanks for this large liberty accorded so graciously, I bowed myself out, first having declined to get soldiers' rations by application for them to thie government. In this condition I remained for many weeks, until, fortunately-for me. General Birge relieved him; who had it not in his power, however, to remove the restrictions any further than to take the detectives away, of whom I heard, but did not aee. But Gen eral Birge permitted me to write unrestrictedly to whom I pleased, and appeared anxious, in the true spirit of a gentleman, to offer all the conrteaies he con sistently could.

It was piteous to hear the little children pray at their grace, “That the Lord would give father something which he could eat, and keep him strong, and bring him back to us with his good senses, to his little children, for Christ's sake;” and nearly every day during the hardest, fat: terest of his 'mprisunmeut, our little child Maggie, had to quit the table to dry her tears after this grace, which was of her own composition. I believe. Doctor, I should have lost my senses if these severities htm been persevered iti, tor I could neither eet nor eleep for a week; but opiates, and the information of the change effected by your advloe, re lieved me; and I have thanked God nightly for your brave humanity. It is eurihr to fight with a revolver than to repeat unpleasant tenths to a hostile and un trammeled power fa the full indulgence of its cruel instincts. Ail honor to the brave men who fearlessly did so. Though I ate, slept, and lived fa mv room, rarely or never going out in the day, and only walking out late at night, with Robert for protection, I could not keep my little ones so closely confined. Little Jeff and Billy went out ou the street to play, aud there Jeff was constantly told that he was rich; that his father bad “stolen eight millions,” otc. Billy was taught to sing, “We'll hang Jeff Davis on s sour apple tree,” by giving him a reward when he did so; and be made such good friends with the . soldiers that the poor child seemed to forget a great deal of biB regard for his fether. The Buie thing finally told m« one day, “You thinks I’seSomebody; so fa you; so is father; but you Is not; go is not any of us. but iUC.
