In Danville, Mr. Davis learned of Lee’s
surrender. Immediately he started for
Goldsboro, where he met and had a con
sultation with Gen. Johnson, thence going
on south. At Lexington he received a
the Southern cause.”
Air. Davis left Washington accompa
nied by Post Master General Reagan,
three aides, and an escort of ten mounted
men and one puck-mule. Riding along,
they heard distressing reports of bands of
r
of the movement and the terms on which
members to the Convention will be ad
mitted. Wc commend the call to the
serious consideration cf the Southern
people. They will read for themselves,
their cupidity
turing into information which caused him
to change his course and follow' on to
This object he achieved after riding
seventy miles, without halt, in a siugle

which was too comprehensive in its scope
for any mere military commander to de
cide upon. Gen. Breckinridge and Post
master General Ragan immediately star
ted for Johnson’s camp, where Sherman
submitted the terms of surrender on which j
an armistice was declared —the same terms j
subsequently disapproved by the autliori- i
tics at Washington.
One of the features of the proposition
submitted by Gen. Sherman was a dccla- j
ration of amnesty to all persons, both civil i prisonment, that it was supposed there
and military. Notice being called to the was a large amount of specie in the train,

ticular attraction for their greed. “ I

might want to take with them, and to go
wherever it pleased.
Geu. Johnson told Sherman that it was
worse than useless to carry each a propo
sition as tlie last to him. Breckinridge
also informed Gen. Sherman that h! pro
position contemplated the adjustment of
certain matters which even Mr. Davis was
not empowered to control. The terms
were accepted, however, with the undrr-
bianding that they should be liberally
construed—General Breckinridge adding
that certain parts of the terms 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 authorities at Wash

of finding the region infested with uese
tors and robbers engaged in plundering
whatever was defenceless, his intention
•being to quit his wife whenever she
reached a safe portion of the country,
and to bear west across the Chattahoochee.
The very evening before his arrest he
was to carry out this arrangement, be
lieving Mrs. Davis to be now safe, but
was prevented by a report, brought in
through one of his aids, that a party of
guerrillas, or highwaymen, was coming
that night to seize the horses and mules
of his wife’s train. It was on thisro»- or t
he decided to remain anotho.*; night.
Towards morn in- ] ie } ia j j ust f a

into the d p ^p sleep of exhaustion, when
hi* wife’s faithful negro servant, llohert,
came to him announcing that there, was
firing up the road, lie started up, dress

. i, orav dawn, and by the imperfect light he
in Charlotte unti ^ and |, our ,] lc ° aw a par ty approaching-the camp. They
linms —vc ended ; theu mounted his horse
and with some cavalry of Duke’s brigade,
( formerly Morgan’s), again started south
ward, passing through South Carolina, to
Washington, Georgia. At an encamp
ment on the road, he thinks, the cavalry
of his escort probably heard of the final
surrender ol General Johnson, though he I
himself did not until much later. Being
iu the advance, lie rode on, supposing
that the escort was coming after.
As with his party he approached the
town of Washington, he was informed
that a regiment, supposed to belong to
the army of Gen. Thomas, was moving on
the place to capture it, in violation as he
thought, of Gen. Sherman’s terms. On
this he sent back word to the General
commanding the cavalry escort, to move
up and cover the town—an order which
probably never reached its destination—
at least the cavalry never came ; nor did
he see them again, nor auy of them.—
Thinking they were coming, however,
and not apprehending any molestation
from the Federal troops, even if occuny-
ing the same town, he entered Washing
ton, and remained there over night, no
troops of the United States appearing.
Here he heard of his wife and family, not
having seen them since they had left
Richmond, more than a month before his
own departure; They had just left the
town before his arrival, moving south in
company with his private Secretary, Col.
Harrison, of whose fidelity he spoke in
warm terms, and accompanied by a small
party of paroled men, who, seeing them
unprotected had volunteered to be their
escort to Florida, from whence the family,
not Mr. Davis himself, intended to take
ship to Cuba.
Mr. Davis regarded the section of coun
try he was now in as covered by Sherman’s
armistice, and had no thought that any
expedition could or would be sent for his
own capture, or for any other warlike pur-
party approa
were recognised as federal cavalry By
the way in which they deployed ‘o sur
round the train, and lie stepped back into
the tent, to warn His wife (bat the enemy

The tent was prominent, being isolated
from the other tents of the train, and

Union of the Stares under the Constitu

and who agree to the following proposi

Dr. J. W. Wiley.—The Full Set of Teeth
you made for my wife about 8 years ago, are
all that could be desired. They are pronoun
ced by all who have seen them as beautiful, and
as to their durability and usefulness, 1 would
state, they never have needed repair, and that
my wife’s health has been transformed from
bad to good, owing no doubt to their perfect
adaptability to mastication. Wit. G. He it king.
My wif$ had been afflicted with a nervous
head at he for more than a year, caused from
indigestion consequent upon tiie loss of teeth.
Dr. SViley inserted a set of Artificial Teeth,
and it was but a few' weeks when we discover
ed quite an improvement in her health. She
is now enjoying robust health, and I believe is
purely indebted to his skill in assisting nature
tn the discharge of a proper mastication.

With pleasure we recommend Dr. Whiley as
a scientific Dentist. He is not only entitled to
the patronage of the Southern people as being
a regular graduate in his profession, but, from
his devotion and self sacrifice to the cause of
our once happy South. It we forego merit for
charlatanism from personal feelings, let us con
sider the appreciation of those who gave their
support in our struggle for Southern indepen
dence. Every one admits that he makes bet
ter and prettier sets of Teeth than any one
else; and those employing his services will
get value received for their money. We ten-
