JEFF DAVIE'S CAPTURE. IVliat a PiiUlilicIpliian Says of HJs. Pari In tile Famous Man’s Arrest— No Fem¬ inine Apparel Seen on that Occasion. From tiie Pniladelpbia Times. Kaspar Knobel,the first man to lay hands on Jefferson Davis when tiie latter w is a fugitive, after the downfall of the confed¬ erate government, now lives in Philadel¬ phia. At the time of the capture Mr.Kno bel was a priva'e in the Fourth Michigan cavalry. His narrative, which was con¬ tributed to the Weekly Times of this date is as follows : On the evening of the 7th of May, 1865, the Fourth Michigan cavalry regiment, to which I belonged, was ordered to start immediately, without knowing whither or why- We rode on the whole night, only making a short pause to take a lunch. We did likewise the following day, but had in the evening to take refuge from a thunder storm in some woods, where we sought to shield ourselves in tho best pos against ...... the inclemency >f - sible manner the weather. Ihe next morning, some where between nine and ten o’clock, we met a vehicle with only three wheels, driv en by a colored man. Colonel Pritchard hade him halt and answer our questions, He told us he had fallen in with a troop ‘< V ftnkees”-U now' became evident he did .oil tb. mUerente Detwenn union - wheel from Ins wagon, probably S to pre vent them from reveling their flight too quickly, for as he said, it was a sure thing that the y were tr y in 8 to escape. Such was the story of the negro, and « «">»»«« <« »,» ’» ™ on than whose the beaten head the eader government of the confederacy had set a large prize. Our commander, as a matter of course, took notes of this statement and ascertained the exact place where the meeting had taken place. Then we were ordered to hold ourselves in readiness, A harder work than we had yet done was impending. Those who had confidence in themselves and their horses for a fur th«r ride of forty or fifty mile* were told to ann ounce themselves. One hundred Bd twenty-eight .. men did ... .. sc, I , among « them, add we started. Twelve o’clock at night, between the 9th and loth of May, we >rtWed »rti»ea at at irwinsville, jrwinsvilie Irwin Irwin county county Georgia, , where Davis, according to all probability, was to be found. : the camp discovered T * whispered .. , tones .__ ordered to a _ we were , distribute ourselves in groups of l all directions and be on the lookout for ",11 suspiBidtis persons in tba place. The roup to which 1 belonged, after having bidden on for nearly a mile, discovered a in nip fire in a southwestern direction, ,y)|ich was near extinction—a very suspi cious circumstance—that made Our hearts beat quicker with joyous anticipation. It ^wever, yet dark.we could do nothing else for # the present than itnpa* itlently wait for the dawn of day. l’he «r stern sky had scarcely reddened before advanced noislessly as possible andjal , nC) ,^ stumbled over two tents, wliose in , atos evidently were slumbering and who as could be easily surprised- 1 was emost in entering one of these tents, sura enough folind the fugitive and ' mily lying there in profound sleep, fferson Davis rested in a gray costume >o loft side of the tent. As soon as ■was awake and had comprehended the auties he tried, evidently for the pur .•e of concealment, to cover himself di something—I cannot at this time tell etly what, but of resisti**iee he offered e at all. I then hui rie l to the other t, where I found a part of the staff of confederate leader. Here, also, per j. quietude reigned, easily explainable incident lie extrtions and excitement heir flight. They were surprised to extent that I tore away a sadddle ii under the head of one of tho sleep officers and they all surrendered un didion&Uy, without offering the least stance. FIRED UPON BY FRIENDS. Ifot until the capture of DaVis and his associates had been thus accomplished was the signal shot that had been agreed upon ti,J previous night fired, which soon brought Colonel Prichard and his com¬ panions to the scene of actions. This shot, however, was, loour great astonish¬ ment, at once responded to by a heavy fire, from the neighboring woods,! which fire, we, of course, answered. By this skirmish we had one young man killed,his liaart being pierced by a bullet, and one wounded. Our astonishment increased greatly when we took one of our assail¬ ants a prisoner and discovered that lie be¬ longed, like ourselves to the union army. They formed, in fact, a part of the First Wisconsin cavalry regiment, and had like ourselves, arrived the evening before in the neighborhood of Irwinsville without knowing or having the slightest idi a of tli,> presence of Dayls, still loss of our £>W l\i The victims of this fatal encounter - buried wtli military honors. We had \.to u». as ft matter of course, ft ■very joyous one, ffl which'Jefferson IM'H and our oilier prisoners participated, and then we rode back to headquarters. THE COMMON STORY UNTRUE. Such is the true history of the capture of Jefferson Davis, and as every one can sec, it differs materially from the commonly accepted story, not alone in respect to the feminine apparel and tile how icknife, hut also in regard to the short encounter be¬ tween union soldiers, which furnished, so to speak, the last victims on the altar of lie ambition of the confederate leader. 1 have a very interesting iclie of tiiis affair in my possession. After having entered di,. teut of Davis and accomplished his capture a traveling bag was found among what little baggage there was. containing a shirt and three collars, besides children's soiled linen. These naturally became in¬ teresting spoils for the soldiers, who dis¬ tributed them among themselves. One of these collars is still in my possession. The collar, which for good and sufficient rea sous, at this time lias no very clean took, bears this proud inscription : “This collar was worn by Jefferson Da¬ vis at the time he was made prisoner of war.
