Oil the 23d of May, Davis was placed
in shackles. On the 28th. at Dr, Craven’s
recommendation, the irons were removed.
June 20.—Prisoner complained bitterly
of the restrictions imposed by (Hen. Aides
on his correspondence with his wife ; cer
tain subjects, and those perhaps of most
interest, being forbidden to both. The
convicts in State prisons were allowed
this liberty unimpeded, or only subject to
the supervision of the chaplain, whose su
pervision had a religious and a friendly
character—that of father confessor. His
letters, on the contrary, had to be sent
open to Gtn. Miles, and from him he un
derstood, similarly open to the Attorney-
General. What unbosoming of confi
dence, mutual griefs mutual hopes, the
interchange of tenderest sympathies—was
possible, or would he delicate under such
a system ? He pictured idle young staff
officers here, or yet more pitiful clerks in
law departments at Washington,grinning
over any cofessions of pain, or terms of
endearment he might be tempted to use;
and this thought embittered the pleasure
such correspondence might otherwise
have conferred. The relationship of hus
band and wife was the inner vestibule of
the temple—the holy of holies—in poor
human life; and who could expose its
secrets, or lay his heart hare on his sleeve,
for such daws to peck at ? Even crimi
nals condemned to death for heinous
crimes, were allowed not only free corres
pondence with their wives, but interviews
at which no jailor stood within earshot.
What possible public danger could there
be from allowing such letters to pass with
out scrutiny ? Time icill set all these pet
ty tyrannies in their true light. He that
first pleadeth his own cause seems justi
fied ; but his neighbor cometh and search
ed him. If the privilege were ever abus-
ck ; if anything lie wrote to his wife were
published to the detriment of the govern
ment, or tending to disturb the peace,
what easier than to say; “ This privilege
has been abused and must cease.”
August 23.— Mr. Davis expressed some
anxiety as to his present illness. He was
not one of those who, when in trouble,
wished to die. Great invalids seldom had
this wish, save when protracted sufferings
had weakened the brain. Suicides were
commonly of the robuster class—men who
had never been brought close to death
nor thought about it seriously. A good
old Bishop once remarked, that “ dying
was the last thing a man should think
about,” and the mixture of wisdom and
quaint humor in the phrase had impress
ed Mr. Davis. Eveu to Christians, with
in charge of Mr. Davis was ordered by or feeling of the country now as he is of, tliat it required that attention and eare !
his employer, Secretary Stanton, to inter- ; recognizing the obligations which control which a mother alone could bestow,
fere with the meals of the prisoner and the acts and intercourse of honorable men.
to prevent his physician from conversing
with him; and upon Dr. Craven’s ventu
ring to send to a tailor for a heavy over
coat to protect the invalid from the
increased cold weather, this humane
surgeon was “relieved from duty at the
fort.”
Sketch of a Self-Styled Georgian.
The Savannah correspondent of the
Louisville Courier ventilates the record of
a Georgian, (so-called.) who has recently
been before the Committee of Fifteen.
I must tell you of the astonishment
and indignation which I heard expressed
yesterday in a large company, most of
whom were Georgians to the man op born,
at the evidence before the Central Direc
tory of a Mr. Charles G. Baylor, who
says he is a Georgian. If it is true, it
appears that Mr. Baylor favored this
State by his presence during the first
years of the war, living now at Marietta,
then at Milledgeville, now again at Ath
ens, and visiting several other towns and
cities at odd times as his tastes, opportu
nities, or business necessities suggested.
Mr. Baylor’s profession was political econ
omy. Adams Smith and Ricardo ceased
to be authority where they came in con
flict with Baylor. Schemes commercial,
schemes financial, schemes industrial, is
sued from the. fertile brain of this great
schemer with astounding rapidity and
finish. A joint stock company to transfer
all the cotton of the South to Belgium,
and bring back every thing the South
needed, together with auxiliary branches,
steamboat lines, postal subventions, etc ,
etc., was among the plans by which the
country was to be saved. But the peo
ple who owned the cotton and who wanted
everything, were to trust all to Baylor,
and through their want of faith the plan
fell through, and the country was not
saved.
In his leisure moments this great man
used to amuse himself with diplomacy
and the commercial relations of nations.
At one time he was willing to represent
the 0. States in foreign countries, his
relations with the rulers of Europe would,
if appointed, have settled the question of
recognition without the least difficulty.
But Mr. Davis preferred Mr. Yancey, Air.
Slidell and Mr. Mason, and the result was,
recognition was never obtained. This
was not Air. Baylor’s fault He was
ready to go. He had his application rea
dy made to Air. Benjamin, and even had
indorsed on ic, ready for Air. Davis’ sig
nature, a glowing eulogium of himself,
which, in anybody else, would have ap
peared immodest; but in him was only
the lofty statement of a great truth, ut
tered only to facilitate an act of patriotism,
and by the man best able to tell it. It
was reported at the time that Air. Davis
refused to attach his signature to the in
dorsement, and this effort, like many
others failed.

Scotch Stories.
A new edition of Itev. Charles Rogers’
“Familiar Illustrations of Scottish Life”
contains these stories:
TIIE PROFESSOR AND THE FOOL. I
Learned professors have occasionally j
been outwitted by the sayings of the;

of the last century, met in the suburbs j
of the city, an inoffensive creature who !

style:
“ On the morning of the 23d of Alay
a yet bitterer trial was in store for the
proud spirit—a trial severer, probably,
than has ever in modern times been in
flicted upon any one who had enjoyed
such eminence. This merning Jefferson
Davis was shackled. It was while all the
swarming camps of the armies of the Po-
tornac, the Tennessee and Georgia—over
two hundred thousand bronzed and lau
relled veterans—were preparing for the
grand review of the next morning, in
which, passing in endless succession be-
ferc the mansion of the President, the
conquering military power of the nation
va3 to lay down its arms at the feet of the
civil authority, that the following sceue
was enacted at Fortress Aionroe.”
It appears that when Mr. Davis found
that lie was to be shackled,
“ II is wasted figure towered up to its

the shackles—lie said, slowly and with a
laboring chest:
“ * Aly God! You cannot have been
sent to iron me ?”
'• ‘ Such are my orders, sir,’ replied the
officer, beckoning the blacksmith to ap
proach, who stepped forward, unlocking
the padlock and preparing the fetters to
do their office. These fetters were of
heavy iron, probably five-eighths of an
inch in thickness, and connected togeth
er by a chain of like weight. I believe
they are now in the possession of Alajor
General Aliles, and will form an interest
ing relic.
“ ‘This is too monstrous,’ groaned the
prisoner, glaring hurriedly around the
room, as if for some weapon or means of
self-destruction. ‘I demand, Captain,
that you let me see the commanding offi
cer. Can he pretend that such shackles
are required to secure the safe custody of
a weak old man, so guarded and in such a
fort as this?”
‘• •It could serve no purpose,’ replied
Capt. Titlow ; ‘his orders are from Wash
ington, as mine are from him.’
“ ‘ But he can telegraph,’ interposed
Air. Davis, eagerly : ‘there must be some
mistake. No such outrage as you threa
ten me with is on record in history of
nations. Beg him to telegraph, and de
lay until he answers.’
“ ‘ Aly orders are peremptory,’ said the
officer, ‘and admit not of delay. For
your own sake, let me advise you to sub
mit with patience. As a soldier, Mr.
Davis you know I must execute orders.’
“ ‘These are not orders for a soldier,’
shouted the prisoner, losing all control of ■ the Irnpe of an immortal future for the
himself. ‘ They are orders for a jailer— ; soul, the idea of physical annihilation—of

Rain Upon the Roof.
BY W. L. SHOEMAKER.
The night with her sable pinions,
Is hovering o'er the earth,
And far through her dark dominions
Ring tinkling tones of mirth.
The moon is no longer beaming,
And the clouds are still star-proof,
As I sat in my chamber, dreaming
Of the rain upon the roof,
There is no sound diurnal
Ever yeilds me such delight
As the step of the soft rain vernal
On the rattling roof at night;
I am wrapt in pleasant fancies,
While slumber is far aloof,
As I list to the dainty dances
Of the rain upon the roof.
The wind is .awake and dashing
The drops on the window-pane,
And the leaves, like cymbals clashing
Keep time with the rythmic rain ;
Rut no discordant clatter
Of a solitary hoof
Comes now to mar the patter
Of the rain upon the roof.
From the night so grim and sooty
Will a morning, fair arise,
With myriad forms of beauty
To glad our wandering eyes ?
For the spirit of spring is working
At her marvelous web and woof,
And a part of her spoil is lurking
In the raiu upon the roof.
It brings to me a vision
Of flowers and fruitful trees,
In a land that seems elysian,
All alive with birds and bees ;
Where sweetest longs are gushing
Aloud, without reproof,
And the rippling rills are rushing,
Like the rain upon the roof.
I see the grain grow greener
For the blessing of the skies,
That makes man’s face serener,
And lights with joy his eyes.
I anticipate the pleasure
Heaven grants for his behoof,
And my heart leaps to the measuro
Of the rain upon the roof.
Thus do I muse and listen
To the music of the rain,
Whose drops innumerons glisten,
Like diamonds, through the pane ;
And I'm wrapt in pleasant fancies,
While slumber is far aloof,
As I listen to the dainty dances
Of the rain upon the roof.
But the Court gave judgment that she
should give the child to the father.
It was then that a scene occured that
beggars desciption. The mother pressed
the infant to her breast, and clung with
; all the tenacity of life to the object of her
i fond hopes. Hcrloudsobs and agonizing
I shrieks sent sucli a thrill of sorrow to the
; hearts of the bystanders as only the voice
I of a woman in distress can impart. The
1 husband endeavored to wrest it from her
! arms, but could not do it, when the
; Sheriff stepped forward to carry out the
j order of the court, and succeeded in ob
taining the child. The loud cries of the
mother thus doubly widowed, were heard
for several squares from the Court House
as she was led away.—Morgantown
