Mrs. Sarah Collins—a delicate and rather pretty, though by no means a beau tiful woman—was sojourning in thc fami ly’ of a worthy Irishman, Ilngarty by name, and waiting to return to her home in West Tennessee when the city should J fail. She was one of the invited guests, but declined the invitation. The good people with whom she dwelt urged her to go, alleging that there we* no danger, that she required relaxation from the ex- citementof the siege,and promisingto wait up for her un-til she returned. A Con federate General, now in his grave, called to ldd his entreaties, and finally she con sented and went with him. She did not get back at 12 o’clock, and the family re tired without any uneasiness, leaving thc front door ajar lor her. About^4 o’clock in the morning Mr. Ilaggnrty was awak ened by a noise in the hall. He opened his chamber door and discovered some one at the door of thc room occupied by Mrs. Collins, which was just opposite. “ Whose there ? ” lie asked. “Where is Mrs. Collins?” replied a strange voice.

Thc stream of oil is larger, but scattering, and with much more gas, makes the noise of a steamboat, quick, heavy and puffing.

But a few yards further on is No. 19, or thc Grant well, the Phillips of the present day, whose flow is more steady and quiet, but is a tlricker stream, and whose yield is 1,500 barrels per day. Then comes the two Twin wells and the Island well, making in all the production in a small centre over 5,000 barrels in 24 hour*. Mr. Davis’ Wealth.

Suddenly thc stranger said “ perhaps she’s dead.” Mr. [Jfiggar’y was startled, and the two proceeded hastily to the window. It was open. They looked into the room and dis covered in the uncertain light a body, lying on the floor. It was that of the un fortunate lady—dead as Desdemona. No marks of violence were found upon her. The stranger said, excitedly, I’ll go for a surgeon.” lie went away, and never returned. Mr. Ilaggnrty was unable to identify either the voice or thc figure. An inquest was held next day, and an investigation begun before the Mayor’s Court. But evening advanced, thc bom bardment became heavier, several officers of distinction appeared to be involved, and before quiet was restored, the city was evacuated, and with it the tragedy, such as it was, passed into whisper and mere gossip. Many of the parties to that Lai masque \ the “capture of 31 r. Davis’ treasure.”— They are perfectly absurd. Mr Davis, it is known had no “treasure” of Ir.s own. When the ox-Confedcrate president left Richmond on that memorable Sunday af-. learn thc precise time when it was select- rold or any where else, than within the United States, and an occupant of Fortress 31011- roe. We have been repeatedly told that Mr. Davis would be ‘tried.’ Do not place too much reliance upon that! It is thc opinion of those very near 3Ir. Davis and the executive that he will never be tried at all, but will be allowed quietly to leave the country. Mr. Davis’ best friends, however are extremely anxious for a trial, and have made earnest entreaties to secure it, hut thus far without thc slightest prospect that their desires will ever b • granted.— 31 r. Davis himself has also plead for it. From the Cincinnati Commercial. Letter from Andersonvillc- ANDhRSONVILLE, Oct. 11, 1805. I did not visit this place on thc mission of a hyena; but simply to see for myself and describe it, as it now is. There needs not any howling of the ogre, gloating rhetoric, to exhume the loathsome mem ories of Andersonville, or lacor.ite afresh the scarce-cicatrized wounds that have bled ia cany households. Surely, the ehiefest need of thc country now is, not to multiply mutual reproaches, but to forgive and forget. NAME, HISTORY, AC. Strange as it may seem, this, the most infamous spot on American soil, has its name from one of the most honorable ac tors in American history. In 1852, a station and post-office were established here, and the Superintendent of the South-western Railroad, for coincidence’s sake, named it Andersonville. The sta tion is in Sumter count3 r , and 3Iajor An derson, a friend of his, had lately,assura- ed command at Fort Sumter. At the beginning of the war, Andcr* sonville consisted of four dwelling-houses, a church, and a post-office. I cannot ternoon, he had not a dollar of the world. This was well known to his intimate friends about him as that a por tion of the Confederate capital was left in ashes. tn | ed as a site for a prison pen ; at any rate, a force of three hundred negroes was employed many months in constructing it, and thc first prisoners were put in it He did not, however lack fur j on Washington’s birthday, 18G4, and the the “ yellow earth,” had he chosen to ac cept it. On his route, he was begged on several occasions to accept the free offer ings of those who had to give, but in every instance he declined. Let me narrate what oecured at 31 a jot Southerland’s fine residence at Danville. It was here that 31 r. Davis made his hone during hissojurn in that town, tar rying for something like ten days._ ’Ihis most estimable family, previous to thc ar rival of their distinguiahed guest, had not beard of his really reduced pecuniary first mao died in it February 27, 18G4. At fir.'t it was intended for 10,000 men, and contained hut sixteen acres; but af terwards it was enlarged to its present dimensions. The last man died in it April 28, 18G5. About this thus Gen. Wilson drew near, and before he arrived at 3IaCon, nearly all the prisoners had been transferred to 3Iillcn, or dispersed through the country. Early in May, 3Ir. J. II.
