(Special lo tile Constitution.)
Washington, July 18,11:30 p.m.
The President’*afternoon fever
was a little more airongiy mark*
ed to night than last night—liis
pulse showing an increase ol four
beats, temperature a rise of 5 10,
and respiration a slight corres
ponding acceleration as compared
with the maximum of yesterday.
In any other patient this ItiJliug
increase in the intensity of the
fever would be regarded s a nat
ural fluctuation, and would not
excite especial remark ; but the
president’s symptoms are so
elosely watched from dav to day
and almost from hour lo hour by
the whole cour.iry that un unfa
vorable change, however slight,
seems to have a greater signifi-
cance than really attaches toil,
and it is liable in the absence of
an explanation lo cause an appro
Hcnsinn, It is proper, therefore,
to say by way of comment upon
to-night’s official bulletin, l hat the
facts therein stated, give no un
easiness to the attending physi
cians. There is a slight increase
in the fever, but it arises from
known causes, and is undoubted
ly tranfcienl in its character
The reasons assigned for it are as
follows: The president during
the past three days, and more es
pecially to day, has taken a large
ly iuoreaaed quantity of solid
food, liis stomach in still sensi
tive and manifests its sensitive
nese when any way overtaxed by
symptoms of disturbance. Such
was the case to day, and Ibis gas
tric trouble is thought to have
been largely instrumental in ag
gravating the febrile symptoms

THE LAST DAYS
Of the Defeated Confederacy.
Correspondence New York Herald.
Georgia bad a peculiar bounce tlon with
tbo birth, the struggle for and the down
fall of the Confederacy. t-ihe was the
dominant State in both tbo inception and'
collapse of the great civil war. Tbo un
questionable genius of the revolution, who
more titan all other men, was instrumental
in bringing on the conflict, was Hubert
Toombs, United States Senator from Qtos
gl* before tbo war and now llie solilsry,
uurccoustructed Soutbem citizen who
stands alone in ills political ostracism, gin.
rying in it, and pn ad of his isolation,
possessing wonderful powers of argument
and oratory, a natural born revolutionist
with an ungovernable impulse to reltclliou
and an extraordinary capacity to unliingc
and uproot, a man of kingly presence and
qualities, a splendid, irresistible, imperial
leader of men, Toombs drove secession to
a focal burst of hostility with the consum
mate diplomacy of a statesman and the
forceful power of a giaut.
Mr. Toombs became the first secretary of
State of the Confederate administration,
tbs' prime minister of its governments,
both provisional and permanent, in their
formative periods, wben the war itself was
possible of diversion, and bore the impor
tant part that belonged to the preniie.ablp
in giving to the revolution its unchangea
ble set to arms. Burning with impatience
and fiery zeal he left the realm of diplo
macy and statesmanship, his proper sphere
of unquestioned supremacy, and goiug to
the held he was swallowed up ami his ge
nius buried out of sight iu the din and
smoke of the great conflict he had aided to
evoke. Irrepressibly insubordinate, he
fought gallantly and gave bis boul to the
service and cause, bat yet quarreled with
his superiors and asserted bis imperial will
regardless of military au'bority until he
was arrested aud finally resigned in disgust
and in a most eloquent farewell to his hi ig
ade.
Howell Cobb, of Georgia, President
Buchanan's Secretary of the I rensury du
ring the four years preceding the war aud
a man of great brain power, was an im
portsnt factor in the great events leading
np to secession. Ha was the President of
the Southern Convention that organized
the provisional confederate government.
He entered the army upon the organization
of the permanent confederate government
and was a major general in command of
Georgia wbeixhe surrender came.
Gsorgia was the first state that commit
ted an act of war and practically inaugu
rated the straggle, by the seizure of Fori
Pulaski several weeks before the act of
secession wss passed. This was done by
Governor Joseph K. Brown, the mast re
markable Georgian of the war period.

icy. And it is a curious coinculencc that
these tso gentlemen, Governor llruwn and
Mr. Hill, are now the United States Sens'
ton from Georgia, and in most harmoni
ous accord.
Hut this was not ail. Georgia seemed
fated lo be the regnant facter in tliia gU
gantie. revoluthiu, and tier curious destiny
was fulfilled in a fiual dramatic event.
She bad prompted and led the intellecnal
agitation tiiat culminated in the war ; she
lisit furnished tlie moulders of tlie organi
/.slion of the c-oufederaey : she bad in tlie
|M-rson of her citizen, the vice president,
formulated the policy that practically iso
lated her from the world ; she had fum
1-hed the largest quota of men to the
cause—over one hundred regiments uud
twenty thousand more men than her no
ting populai inn ; she bait endured heavier
loanes, sacrificing four fifths of her wealth,
over $800,000,000. taking the standard ot
value at the eloae of the war ; she had
made herself notable by insisting in the
sternest exigencies of tlie strife for the
very sanctity of constitutional govern
ment; to preserve which site had taken the
momentous step of secession; she had
been Die arena of tlie decisive operations
that ended the struggle ; she bad been
mangled by u bloody swartli cut through
tier entire territory from mountain border
to ocean casing, 400 miles long and 100
miles wide, leaving tier faiiesl parts quiv
eiing ruin. A noble son of hers, General
John B. Gordon, as the right arm of Lee
in tbe desperate campaign ending with the
dramatic Ap|iomaltox. Another soil,
General William J. Hardee, commanded
the last important Iml lie of Jleu’tonville
that prefaced Johnson’* surrender, and, In
tlie same historic fatality of a foremost
instrumentality in this mighty movement,
Die confederate administration dissolved to
pieces in Georgia, its lost official act was
done on Die soil of this state, and within
its borders Mr. Davis Die President of the
confederacy was captured.
It i the purpose of tliis article to nar
rate the incidents connected with the close
of the Davis regime. As soon as Kicb
mond fell Mr. Davis and his cabinet went
to Danville. Kemniniiig there a few days
he proceeded to North Carolina. W ben
the armistice was arranged between Hbcr
mau and Johnson Ml. Davis determined lo
go to Texas. A company of Dibrcll’s
brigade of cavalry was assigned as escort.
I Its was company H. of the Second Ken
tucky cuvalry, Captain 11. P tinker. Mr.
Davis hail with him General Breckinridge,
sect clary of war; John It. Heagan, post
master general ; ex. governor Lubbock, of
I exas, aid-de-camp ; Burton N Harrison,
private Secretary ; Colonel William Pres
ton Johnson, LitUlenont Hathaway, Mrs
Davis and four children, Miss Howell, his
wife's sister, fuid Midshipman Howell, her
brother. At Abbeville, S. C., liis escort
left him, except Die captain and ten men,
including privates H. 0. Anders, James It
Smith, ,1. T. Wulbort, W N. Ingrain,
Heath and Harlntss. The party had live
wngous and three umbulaucea. Mis. Da
vis and the family were sent on ahead.
Mr. Davis arrived at Washington, Wilkes
county, Ga., Die home of General Hubert
Toonilw, on the 4lh day of May, 188->.
General Bragg, General J. M. tSt. Johns,
commissary general, and a large number of
ts in federate officers arrived there. It was
here that the confederate administration
dissolved, and the last otlteinl order of tlie
confederate government waa issued, which
is given in this article and it was a singu
lar and suggestive coincidence, strictly ex
emplifying the strange caprice* of human
events, that a little country village in a
suction of Georgia out of the range of
military operations and Die home of the
man who lind done more than all other
men in the South to spring tlie revolution
and who had been the organizing premier
of tlie confederate government, should, by
a fiuitostie fatality, be tlie spot where Die
heroic but ill-fntcd venture went to pieees
and its Inst note of official authority was
given.
President Davis and most of his staff
stayed at the Heard House in Washington.
Tiie building was occupied also as a bunk.
Mr. Dayis was very much worn and saw
nut little company while in Washington,
lie remained there about till hours, reach
lug the town at uoon of the 4th, aud leav
ing it tiie Oth oi May. Hi Johns and
Rcngnn spent tliu night with General
Toombs, ns did Major Uaphncl J. Moses,
of the commissary department, from
whom we have obtained the most interest
ing particulate of this matter and to whom
wc are indebted for a copy of the official
order referred to Major Moses was com
missary for tiie state of Georgia—having
ts-cii i.ppciuted to till tiie place of Major
Locke, who had died. Uo hail been sent
to Sou til. western Georgia by General I-et
to try what effect direct appeals from one
fresh from the field would have in imlu
cing the people at home to send forward
more litural supplies of food to the sutler.,
ing troops in Virginia, who almost with
out rations had been opposing the well-fed
troops of Grunt at the Wilderness and
other points. Uu Major Locke’s dentil
.Major Moses was put in his place, ami his
duties as State commissary located him at
Augusta iu April, 1865, and his presence
was required along the line of the Georgia
railroad, and at the time written of his
duties called him to Washington, where he
received from General Toombs au invita
tion to stay with him. Such hospitality
was acceptable beyond expression at a time
when tiie pay of a Confederate Major was
$162 60 per month iu a currency that
commanded at lbs same timo a day’s
board for the moderate amount of foil.
While Major Moses was in Washington
the Piesideut and his parly arrived. A
mong the other attractions that which till
ed the public eye of the rustic Washingto
nians almost as mulch as the distinguished
visitors was the far-famed specie train,
cnuuiuing re lly ai*out SIOO,OOO, which
amount Dame Humor exagerated to untold
millions, aud which was an object of keen
stimulus of the popular cupidity. Tbe
bulk of this money was iu uueoined bul
lion—mostly liars of the precious tnetal,
umnoulded into dollars.
Just la-fore the president (Mr. Davis)
left G.-neral Joseph E. Johnson sent Ma
jor Muses au or- er to furnish 250,000 ra
tions to troops returning to their Homes,
The Confederate Stales had at the time of
Johnston’s capitulation with Snerman a
very large supply, coiu|uatively speaking,
of rations at different |x>ints on the Geor
gia tailroad which connects Atlanta and
Augusta, someone hundred and seveuty
miles apart, hut as soon as it was known
that tbe last hope of tbe confederacy had
passed away the Half-starved people aloug
tbe line of railroad soon transferred the
confederate commissary stores to more
convenient places, aud there was not a
week’s istious for one hundred meu from
one end of the road to the other.
We not only ha I no rations to f>vd Un-
returning lr,spn but if vre bad bad
enough to fill every ston-noUM- on tbe
route there waa no way of iwotM-ting
Wa nt. It wna in this contingency that
Major Maes wrote and induced tbe eota*
uJwsuy genetal, M. Joints, Ur iig:i tbe last
official order ever drawn by tbe (secretary
of war of tbe confederate government It
w ■ signed ly Gem rat J. M. . Johns by
direction of tin- Confederate Secretary of
war, in Waaliinglofl, Ga., while in trans
itu and bound for parts unknown. It nr
ih-n-d Major ih*> to arrange with some
fi.-drral geuerai at Augusta or Macon to
supply the n-luining tn."|* and provide
the hospitals with rations and m-eeaaary
medicines, ami for that pur|Kiae apply to
the confederate government for tbe neces
sary funds. Tlie mder being a gned, Ma
jor Moses did apply, but it was like culling
spirits from tne vasty deep. Tliey did not
conic. In tliia emergency Major Moses
applied to General 'luoml*, aud be ob
tained an order from General Breckin
ridge. tbe confederate secretary of ar,
upon tlie officer in cliarge of tbe S|iecie
train to pay Major Moses $40,000 in bul
lion, of wbicb slo,ouo was to lie turned
ovei to tlie quartermaster department, iu
charge of Felix ft. Alexander, assistant
quartermaster under Alexander R. I.aw-,
ton, the confederate quaitermaster general.
Armed with tills order Maj jr Moses over
took the tram of wagons a mite or so from
Washington, tbe night of its departure,
and received and receipted for wiist was
estimated or guessed to be $40,000 of gold
bullion.
Tne bullion was carr ed back to Wash
inglou, and being guarded over nig 111,
#lo,l*oo was |iaid over to the quartermas
ter general, Lawton, aud with the other
$30,000 Major Moses started for Augusta,
guarded by four members ot the Washing
ton Artillery. Major Moses bad a stirring
time with his perilous treasure. It was, of
course, known immediately that be bod it
in his posse sion. The war hud uuhiuged
men’s ideas aud principles. But still more
demoralizing of the public conscience was
the desperate stress of the people, coupled
witli tlie knowledge that the confederate
cause was dead aud that this specie was
ownerless and u probable treasure trove
and booty lor tbe federal soldiery, Major
.Vloses, with punctilious honor, wa* rc
sojveil to part with it only with liis lile
aud to deliver it according to orders iu ful
fillment of its kindly mission.
On the Iraiu from Washington to Bar
nett, where tbe branch road joins tlie
Georgia railroad, be was watched and
menaced with constant danger. At Bar*
nett he had his car switched off before the
tiain arrived at the depot and left in a cut,
but the eager crowd swarmed around it.
The car was taken up to tne depot, uud
for several hours, until the Augusta train
arrived, Major Moses was iu the most per
turbing perplexity and strain of liis life.
There were some two or three hundred re
turning soldiers, besides the no less deter
mined citizens, t hese desperate men, a
reckless moti, cooly demanded the money,
as being as much theirs as any one’s, slid
they were armed to enforce tbeir demand.
A number of soldiers and officers stood by
Major Moses, giving him friendly aid,
among whom were private Shepherd, for
meily of Columbus, Ga., then of Texas,
and General Sanford, who is now practi
cing law in Montgomery, Ala. Major Mo
ses remonstrated quietly and argumenta
tively with tlie menacing men surrounding
him, and appealed to their honor and pa
triotism, mid stated ids orders. At
length it seemed nothing could avert the
attempted ravishment of Dus s|>ecio.
A one-armed officer seemed to be Die
ringleader. Finally, as if by inspiration,
.Major Moses stepped up to this officer and
addressed him iu these words :
‘■Blr, your rank Indicates that you, are
a gentleman, nnd your sleeveless emit
testifies that you have been a gallant sol
dier. 1 appeal to you in the tpirit oi that
honor that belongs to all brave men to
assist me in the discharge of this trust.”
Tlie officer promptly responded that lie
would willingly aid in tlie mnttcr, and lie
went arouud among the threat,-ntug sol
diers quieting them. Major Moses was
enabled to safely continue Ills trip, and
delivered the bullion to General Molli
nealix, stationed at Augusta, and did so
upon his promise to teed the returning
soldiers nnd see that the sick in the hos
pitals were eared for. The bullion was
weighed and turned out in excess fully
$5,000. It was delivered by order of Gen
era! Moliuenux to ono Adnms, of Massac
husetts, then acting as provost Marshal
of Augusta. Majrr Moses has since at
tempted to team whether tills money
ever reached the federal treasury, and
went ill company with Major J. l>. Wad
dell to Washington city and delivered it
to tho Hon. Jerry Black, with a request
ihftt he would trace the fund, but he has
never heard the result of the investiga
tion.
just. after the departure of General
Hreckenridge from Washington with a
body (if cavalry, a cavalryman rode back
in gallop and tnroiv a bag of gold coin
over the fence around General Toombs’s
resilience and then rode rapidly away .
No explanation was given of this liberal
net, no instructions accompanied the
money and 'here was no clue ever oh.
taineu as to tbe motive or purpose of the
soldier. The bag contained $5,000 in gold
currency. General Toombs at the time
was in great stress for money mid was
borrowing gold for his contemplated flight
out uf tbe country, but he swore with a
round oath he would not touch a dollar
ot this money so strangely and unexpect
edly showered upon him. Tiro bag was
turned over to Captain Abrahams, a fed
eral commissary, for the purchase of
flour nail other provisions for the return,
ing confederate soldiers, and Major Mo
ses states that his son aided iu the dispo
sition of the fund. General Toombs was
a | rineely financier and has always had a
lordly Yjorn of uui-leaii or illegitimate
money. His escape and adventures
abroad wore right romauti -. Afier Mr.
Davis and his party had all scattered out
from Washington and General Toombs
was about to get away a federal soldler
rang at the door. General Toombs him
self went to tbe door, ami the soliiier
toid him that lie was after General
Toombs, and asked if he waa at home
The general replied --Yes,!’ %ml asked
ihe soldier io wait while be intormed the
general. Going in and telling Mrs.
Toombs to delay tiie soldier as long as
possible. Genoral Toombs went out the
back door, mounted a horse that he bail
ready back of his premises in amicipa
tion of just such a contingency as this,
amt look to the woods, making for the
coast. Mrs. Tormina held the soldier on
one pretext and another tor nearly half
an hour, carrying him from room to room,
all locked and the keys lost. These mo
ments enabled General Toombs to get
away.
In England ho was without a dollar in
money ; but a banking Arm, Tor which ho
hail done legal business before the war,
learned of his being in that country and
tendered him J 160,000 for his use. which
he declined, except several thousand
dollars that be used fora friend. He w as l

We now come to the last official writing
ever issued bv the confederate adminis
tration, For four years it had conducted
this unparalleled war, directing tbe
movements of a million of soldiers, dis
bursing $1,000,000,000. It had issued or.
ders affecting the destinies of states, ar

the dissolution of its massive hopes, and
here was the eud of it ail, the Inst official
act of an agent of such colossal duties.

It was a singular coincidence that the
Davis government should have finally
dissolved in a place having the same
name as tlie seat of government—Wash
ington—tlie objective goal ol the war ef
forts of that administration. It \v.-s a
fitting conclusion of tho young govern
ment that, after four years of unequaled
resistance to a newer that had been
backed by theagvilized world, marked its
last act of authority by a thoughtful loy
alty to the comfort of its peuiiiicss and
starved defenders.
On this sth day of May, 1865, tho con
federate administration thus gathered at
Washington, Ga., and standing at last
shorn of every vestige of authority,
means, support and power, helplessly fu
gitive, its long fought cause done forever,
dissolved and scattered, never more to
meet. General Breekenrldge, tlie Con
federate Secretary of War went in one
direction ; General St. Joints, the Com
missary General, in another ; General
l.awton, tho quartermaster General, in
still another; while Mr. Davis and Mr.
Itengan, the l’os.master General, lied
loisurely at the rate of about thirty miles
a day into the interior of Georgia. It was
a strange want of vigilance and rapidity
in Mr. Davie as an escaping fugitive, and
