flb*hlef.'!!afeer s . Oh ! could there in this world be found Some little spot of happy ground W here village pleasures might go round Without the village tattling ? How doubly blest that place would be Where all might dwell in liberty Os gossip’s endless prattling ! If such a spot were really known, Dame Peace might claim it as her own, And in it she might fix her throne Forever and forever, There like a queen might reign and live, Where every one would soon forgive, The little slights they might receive, And be offended never. The mischief-makers that remove w Far from our hearts the warmth of love, And leads us all to disapprove What gives another pleasure; They seem to take one’s part, but when They’ve beard our case, unkindly then They soon retail them all again, Mixed with poisonous measure. And they have such a cunning way Os telling tales. They say : “Don’t mention what I say, I pray : I would not tell another.” Straight to their neighbor’s house they go, -Narrating everything they know; And break the peace of high and low— Wife, husband, friend and brother. Oh ! that the mischief«making crew Were all reduced to one or two, And they were painted red and blue, They every one might know them ; Then would the village soon forget To rage and quarrel, fume and tret, And fall into an angry pet With things too much below them- For it’s a sad, degrading part, To make another’s bosom smart, And plant a dagger in the heart We ought to love and cherish ; Then let us evermore be found In quietness with all around While friendship, peace and joy abound, And angry feelings perish. Jefferson Davis In Prison. The Prison Life of Jefferson Davis —By Lt. Col. John J. Craven, M. D., late Surgwn U. K. Volunteers, and Physician ot tho Prisoner. Carleton : New York. We continue our extracts from the Diary of Dr. Craven, on the Prison life of Jefferson Da* vis. FARE—ANXIETr FOR HIS FAMILY. May 26fA.—Called with the officer of the day, Captain James Bj King, at IP. M. Found Mr. Davis in bed, complaining of intense debility, but could not point to any particular com - plaint. The pain in his head had left him last night, but had been brought back this fore noon, and aggravated by the noiso ot moeban ics employed in taking down the wooden doors between his cell and the exterior guard room and replacing these with iron gratings, so that he could at all times be seen by the sentries in tbe outside room as well as by the two “silent friends,” who were the unspeaking com pan. ions of his solitude. Noticed that the prisoner’s dinner lay un touched on its tin plate near his bedside, his meals being brought in by a silent soldier, who placed the food on its table and then withdrew. • • * • * * * Quitting him—called on General Miles, and recommended that Ibe allowed to place tbe prisoner on a diet corresponding with his con dition, which required light and nutritious food. Consent was immediately given, and I bad prepared and sent over from my quarters some tea and toast for his evening's meal. Calling about 7 r. m , found Mr. Davis greatly improved, the tea aud toast having given him, he said, new life. Though he had Dot com plained of the fare, he was very thankful for the change. He then commenced talking, aDd let me beie say that I encouraged him in this, believ ing conversation and some human sympathy tho best medicines that could bo given to one in his state—on the subject of tho weather. How has the weather been—rough or fair ? In this huge cisement, and unable to crawl to the embrasure, he could not toil whether the weather was rough or smooth, nor how tho wind was blowing. * “All my family are at sea, you are aware, on their way to Savannah; and I know the dangers of going down tbe coast at this season of the year too well to be without intense alarm. My wife and four children, with othor relatives, are on board the Clyde, and tbeso propollors roll dreadfully aud are poor sea boats in rough weather.’’ He appeared intensely anxious ou this sub ject, recurring to it frequently, and speculating on tho probable position of the Clyde at this time. “Should she be lost,’’ he remarked, “it will be ‘all my pretty chickens ams their dam at one fell swoop.’ It will be the obliteration of my name and house.” As I was leaving, he asked had 1 been able to do nothing to pad or cushion his shackles ? He could take no exercise, or but tho leebiest, aud with great paiu while they were ou. To this 1 gave an evasive answer, not know ing what might be the action of General Miles, und fearing to excite false hopes. No such half way measures as padding would suffice to meet the necessities ot bis oase; while their adoption, or suggestion, might defer the broader remedy that was needed. On leaving, he requested me in the morning to note how the wind blew, and the prospects of the weather, before paying him my visit. Until he heard of his family’s arrival in Savannah he could know no peace. May 27/A —Called in the morning with the officer ot the day, Captain Titlow. Found Mr. Davis in bed, very weak and desponding. He had not slept. Had been kept awake by the heavy surging of the wind through the big trees ou the other side of the moat. Appeared much relieved when I told him the breeze was nothing like a storm, though it blew north* easterly, which was favorable to the ship containing his family. He expressed great concern lest his wife should hear through newspapers of the scene in his cell, when be was ironed. Would it be published, did 1 think 1 And on my remain ing si lent-*;for I knew it had been sent to the newspapers on tho afternoon of its transpiring— he interlaced his lingers across his eyes, and ejaculated: “Oh my poor wife, my poor, poor girl! How the heart rending narrative will affiict her !” He remained silent for some moments as I sat beside bis bed; and then continued, ex tending his hand that 1 might feel his pulse . “I wish she could have been spared this know ledge. There was no necessity for the act. My physical condition rendered it obvious that there could be no idea that fetters were needful to the security of my imprisonment, It was clear, therefore, that the object was to offer an indig nity bothjto myself and the cause I represented —not the less sacred to me because covered with the pall of a military disaster. It was for this reason I resisted as a duty to my faith, to my countrymen, and to myself. It was for this reason I courted death from the muskets of the guard. The officer of the day prevented that result, and, indeed,”—bowing to Captain Tit low—“behaved like a man of good feeling. But, my poor wile! I can see the hideous announcement with its flaming capitals, and cannot but anticipate how much her pride and love will both be shocked. For myself I am resigned, and now only say, ‘The Lord reprove i J?? physical inconvenience of these things 1 still feel (clanking his ankles together slightly under the bedclothes), but their sense of humiliation is gone. Patriots in all ages to whose memories shrines atfc now built, have suffered as bad or worse indignities.’’ ’ “And so, Doctor,’’ he went on, “you think all the miserable details of ray ironing have, been placed before the public ? It is not only for the hart leelings of my wife and children, but for the honor of Americans that I regret it. My efforts to conceal from my wife the knowledge ot my sutjerings are unavailing; and it were perhaps better that she should know tho whole truth, as probably less distressing to her than what may be the impressions of her fears. Should I write such a letter to her, however, she would never get it.” TAKING OFF HIS IRONS. Sunday, May 28. —At‘eleven a. in., this morning was sitting on the porch in front of my quarters when Captain Frederick Korte, Third Pennsylvania Artillery, who was officer of the day, passed towards tbe cell of the prisoner, followed by the blacksmith. Ihis told the story, and sent a pleasant professional thrill of pride through my veins. Called again at two p. m . with the officer of the day. Immediately on entering, Mr. Davis rose from his seat, both hands extended, and bis eyes filled with tears. He was evidently about'to say something, but checked himself ; or was checked by a rush of emotions, and sat down upon his bed. I congratulated him o§ the change, observ ing that my promise of his soon feeling better was being tulfilled; and he mast now take all the exercise that was possible for him, for on this bis futitte health wouid depend. Captain Korte, too, joineif in my congratulations very kindly, and spoke with the frank courtesy of a gentleman and soldier. Recurring to the subject ot his family, Mr. Davis asked had 1 not been called upon to attend Miss Howell, his wife’s sister, who had been very ill at tbe time of his quitting the Clyde. Replied that Colqse! James. Chief Quartermaster, had called at my quarters, and reques ime to visit a sick lady uc board that ves.--: ; believe > it w*s tbe lady he referred to, but could not bj sure of the name. Had men tioned the matter to Gen. Miles, asking a pass to visii; but ha objected, saying the orders were to allow no Communication with the ship. jir. Davis exclaimed, this was inhuman. The ladies had cettainly cr.mmitted no crime, aDd the-e were no longer any prisoners on board i'll. coip when the request was made, he and Mr Cray having been tho last removed. The lady was very seriously ill, and no officer, no gentleman, n“ man of Christian or even human feeling, would have so acted. HIS VIEWS OF HIS CASH. He then referred to the severity of his treat ment, supposing himself at present to be held for trial, and not already undergoing arbitrary punishment As this conversation was a very important one, 1 took full note of it almost im mediately on quitting his cell, and it is now given in very nearly, if not precisely, his own words : “Humanity supposes every man innocent,” urged Mr. Davis, ‘ until the reverse shall be proven; and the laws guarantee certain privil eges to persons held for trial. To hold me here for trial, under all tbe rigors of a con demned convict is not warranted by law—is revolting to the spirit of justice. In the politi cal history of the world there is no parallel to my treatment. England, and the despotic governments of Euiope have beheaded men ac cused of treason; but even after their conviction no such efforts as in my case have been made to degrade them. Apart, however, from my per sonai treatment, iet us see how this matter stands. "If the real purpose in the matter be to test the question of secession by trying certain per sona connected therewith for treason, from wbat class or classes should the persons so selected be drawn ? “From those who called the State Conven tions, or from those who, in their respective conventions, passed tho ordinance of secession? Or, from tbe authors of the doctrines of State 'rights? Or, from those citizens who being ab sent from their States, were unconnected with the event, but on its occurrence returned to their hotms to share the fortunes of their States as a duty of primal allegiance? Or from those officers of the State, who, being absent on Dub lic service, wove called home by the ordinance, and returning, joined their fellow-citizens in State service, aud followed the course due to that relation ? “To the last class I belong, who am the ob ject of greatest rigor. This can only be ex plained on the supposition that having been most honored, I, therefore, excite most re vengeful feelings—for how else can it be ac counted for ? “I did not wish lor war, but peace. There fore sent Commissioners to negotiate before war commenced; and subsequently strove my uttermost to soften the rigors of war; in every pause of conflict seeking, if possible, to treat tor peace. Numbers of those already practi cally pardoned aTa those who, at the begin ning, urged that the black flag should be hoist ed, and the struggle made one of desperation. “Relieving the States to be each sovereign— and their union voluntary, I had learned from the l athers of the Constitution that a State could change its form of government, abolish ing all which had previously existed; and my only crime has been obedience to this con scientious conviction. Was not this the uni versal doctrine of the dominant Democratic party in the North previous to secession ? Did cot many of the opponents of that party, in the same section, share and avow that faith ? They preached, and professed to believe. We believed, and preached, and practiced. “If this theory he now adjudged erroneous, the history of the States, from their colonial organization to the present moment, should be rewritten, and the facts suppressed which may mislead others in a like manner to a like con clusion. But if—as I suppose—the purpose be to test the question of secession by a judicial decision, why begin by oppressing the chief subject of the experiment? Why, in the name of fair ness and a decent respect for the opinions of mankind, deprive him of the means needful to a preparation of his defence; and Icxul him with indignities which must deprive his mind of its due equilibrium? It ill comports witn the dignity of a great nation to evince fsar of giving to a smgle captive enemy all the advan tages possible tor an exposition of his side of tho question. A question settled by violence, or in disregard of law must remain unsettled for ever. a “Believing all good government to rest on truth, it is the resulting belief that injustice to any individual is a popular injury, which can only find compensation in the reaction which brings retributive justice upon the oppressors It has been the continually growing danger of the North, that in attempting to crush the liberties of my people, you would raise a Frankstdin tyranny that would not down at your bidding. Sydney, and Russell, and Vane, and Peters suffered; but in their death Liber ty received blessings their lives might never have conferred. "If the doctrine of State Sovereignty be a dangerous heresy, tho genius of America would indicate anothor remedy than the sacrifice of one of its believers. Wickliffe died, but Hubs took up his teachings; aud when tbe dust of this martyr was sprinkled on the Rhine, some essence of it was infused in the cup which Luther drank. “The road to grants of power is known and open; and thus all questions of reserved rights on which men of highest distinction may differ and have differed, cun be settled by fair adju dication; and thus only can they be finally at rest.” Mr. Davis then spoke of the restrictions placed upon his reading, which he supposed must soon terminate if he was to be placed on trial. Except for the purpose of petty torture, there could be no color of reason for withhold ing from him any books or papers dated piior to tho war. Sunday, July 11.—Found prisoner very de. sponding—tho failure of his sight troub ling him, and his nights almost without sleep. His present treatment was killing him by inches, and he wished shorter work could be made of his torment. He had hoped long since for a trial, which should be public, and therefore with some semblance of fairness; but hope deterred was making his heart sick. The odious, malignant and absard insinuation that he was connected in some manner with the great crime and folly of Mr. Lincoln’s assassi nation, was his chief personal motive for so earnestly desiring an early opportunity of vin dication. But apart from this, as he was evi dently made the representative in whose per son tbe action of the seceding States was to be argued and decided, he yet more strongly de sired for this reason to be heard in behalf of the defeated, but to him still sacred cause. The defeat he accepted, as a man has to accept all necessities of accomplished fact; but to vindi cate the theory and justice of his cause, show ing by the authority of the Constitution aud the Fathers of the Country, that his people had only asserted a right—had committed no crime; this was the last remaining labor which life could impose on him as a public duty.— Mr. Davis then spoke of ex-President Franklin Pierce in terms of warm admiration, as the public mau who had studied constitutional law, and the relation of the States to highest profit, remarking, that if he were given any choice of counsel, Mr. Pierce would be one of those whose advice he would think most reli able. He also spoke of Mr. Charles Eames, of Washington, as a walking encyclopedia of constitutional law, very accurate and ready in his reference to precedents; adding that he had seen a report that Messrs. Reverdy Johnson, of Maryland, and Charles O’Conor, of New York, had professed their readiness to assume bis de fence When approached by some of his friends tor that purpose, for which he felt grateful, both personally and for his people. * » « * “My people,” he added, “attempted what your peopie denounced as a revolution. My people sassed; but your people have suffered a revolution which must prove disastrous to their liberties unless promptly remedied by legal decision, in their efforts to resist the revolution which they charged my peopie with contemplating. State sovereignty, the corner stone ot the constitution, has become a name. There is no longer power, or will, in any State, or number ot States, that would dare to refuse compliance with any tinkle of Mr. Seward’s beli.” THB TOBI FEES OF HIS CELL. Mr. Davis complained that his sle -plessness was aggravated by the lamp kept burning in his room all night, so that he could be seen at all moments by the guard in the cuter cell. If he happened to dose one feverish moment, the noise of relieving guard iu the next room aroused him, and the iamp poured its full glare into his aching and throbbing eyes.— There must be a change in this, or he would go crazy, or blind, or both. “Doctor,” he said, “had you ever the con sciousness of being watched ? Os having an eye fixed on you every moment, intently scru tinizing your most minute actions, and the va riations of your countenance and posture ? The consciousness that the Omniscient Eye rests upon us, in every situation, is the most consoling and beaut'tul belief of religion. But to have a human eye riveted on you in every moment ot waking, or sleeping. Sitting, walk ing. or lying down, is a refinement of torture on anything tbe C'amanehes or Spanish Inqui- ( sition ever dreamed. They, iu their ignorance of cruel art, oniy struck at the body; and the nerves have a very limited capac ty 0; pain. This is a maddening, incessant torture ot the mind, increasing with every moment it is en« dared, and shaking the reason by its iccepant recurrence of miserable pain. Letting a stngie drop of water fad ou * he head every Sixty sec onds does not burt at first, but its victim dies of raving agony, it is alleged, if the infliction be continued. The torture of being incessant ly watched is, to the mind, wnat the water dropping is to the body, but more effective, as the mind is more susceptible of pain. The Eye of Omniscience looks upon us with tender ness and compassion; even if conscious of guilt, we have the comfort of knowing that Eye tees also our repentance. But the human eye forever fixed upon you is the eye of a spy, or enemy, g.eating in the pain and humiliation which itself creates. I have lived too long in the woods to be frightened by an owl, aDd have seen death too often to dread any form of pain. But I confess, Doctor, this torture of Deing watched begins to prey on my reason.— The lamp burning in my room all n’ght would seem a torment devised by someone who had intimate knowledge of my habits, my custom having been through life never to 3leep except in total darkneßs.” lh's conversation, so far as related to its medical aspect, I deemed it my duty to com municate that afternoon to Major General Miles, who could not remove the lamp alto gether, but directed that it should be screened at night, so that no direct and giarmg beams should be thrown into the prisoner’s eyes. July 20 —Found Mr. Davis in a very critical state ; his nervous dtbility extreme ; his mind more despondent than ever heretofore; his appe titegone; complexion livid, and pulse denotiug deep prostration of ail the physical energies. Was much alarmed, and realized with painful anxiety the responsibilities of my position. If he were to die in prison, and without trial, sub jeot to such severities as had been inflicted on his attenuated frame,' the worid would form unjust conclusions, but conclusions with enough color to pass them into history, It seemed to me, let me frankly confess, due to the honor of America, and the future gloiy of our struggle for national existence, that this result should not happen. Mr. Davis asked me could nothing be done to better bis condition, or scenes him the justice of a triai before death. The effort of his people to establish a country had failed, ana they had no country now but America. It was tor the honor of America, not less than for his own, and for justice to his cause, that he pleaded. Assured Mr. Davis that no effort of care or such skill as 1 possessed should be wanting for his benefit. Then commenced conversation ou various topics, seeking to divert his mind from the afflictions preying on it. MEETING WITH MR. C, C, CLAY. Mr. Davis said when he had last been out on the ramparts he had met Mr. C. C. Ciay, simi larly walking under guard. Ciay was looking wretchedly, and seeing him made Mr. Davis realize moie acutely his own humiliating po sition. o c- o * As he passed Mr. Clay they exchanged a few words in French, nothing more than the com pliments of the day and an inquiry for each other’s health; but it seemed this had alarmed tbe officer, who did not understand the lan guage, Mr. Clay not being permitted to pass him again, but being marched off to another part ot the ramparts. Clay was naturally del icate, of an atrabilious type, and his appearance denoted, that he must be suffering severely. Replied that I had been attending Mr. Clay, and saw nothing in his state to occasion alarni. He had a tendency to asthma, out that was a long-lived disease. Mr. Davis inquired how Ciay was fed. Replied that at first he had re ceived soldiers’ rations, but laterly, his condl tionsdemanding it, had bean fed from the hos pital. Mr Davis expressed much sympathy for his fellow-sufferer, begging me to do whatev er I professionally could for his relief, and to hold up his hands. Let me here remark that, despite a certain exterior cynicism of manner, no patient has ever crossed my path # wtio, suf fering so much himself, appealed to teel so warmly an I tenderly for others. Sickness, as a general rule, is sadly selfish ; its own pains aud infirmities occupying too much of its thoughts. With Mr. Davis, however, the rule did not work, or rather he was an exception calling attention to its general truth. WATCHING His CORRESPONDENCE. Prisoner complained bitterly of the restric - tions imposed by General Miles on hiscorrcs dence with his wife ; certain subjects, and those perhaps of most interest, being for bidden to both. The convicts in State pris ons were allowed this liberty unimpeded, or only subject to the supervision of the chap lain, whose supervision had a religious and kindly character—that of father confossor. His letters, on the contrary, had to be sent open to General Miles, and from him, he understood, similarly open to tho Attorney General. What unbosomiDg of confidence—mutual griefs, mu tual hopes, the interchange of teuaerest sym pathies— wa3 possible, or wouid be delicate under such a system ? He pictured idle young staff offic trs here, or yet moro pitiful clerks iu law departments at Washington, grinning over any confessions of pain, or terms of endearment he might he tempted to use; and this thought embittered the pleasure such correspondence might otherwise have conferred. The rela tionship of husband and wife was the inner vestibule or the tempie—tho holy of holies—fn poor human life; and who couid expose its se crets, or lay his heart bare on his sleeve, for such daws to peck at? Even criminals con demned to death for heinous crimes, were allowed not only free correspondence with their wives, but interviews at which no jailor stood within earshot. What possible public danger could there be from allowing such let- . ters to pasd without scrutiny? Time will set all these petty tyrannies iu their true light. He that first pleadeth his own cause seems justified; but his neighbor cometh and eearch eth him. If the privilege were ever abused; if anything he wrote to his wife were published to the detriment of the government, or tending to disturb the peace, what easier than to say: “This privilege has been abused and must cease.” August 14 —Had been absent in Baltimore on official business some few days, during which Mr. Davis sent for me. Galled witn Captain Evans, officer of the day, and explained my A pustule, somewhat malignant in character, was forming on the prisoner’s face, which was much inflamed and swollen. He reiterated the belief that the casemate was full of malarial poison, caused by the rising and falling of the tide in the diten outside (as previously explained,) and wished the Wash ington people would take quicker means of despatching him, if his death without trial was their object. That it was so he was led to sus pect, for a trial must develop many things not pleasant to those in power. In particular it would place the responsibility for the non exebanee of prisoners where it belonged. ***** HIS VIEWS OP POPULAR GOVERNMENT. August 16.—. Called with Captain Gressin, Aid-de Camp of General Miles, officer of the day. Prisoner suffering severely, but in a less critical state, the erysipelas now showing itself in his nose and forehead. Found that a car*, buncle was forming on his left thigh, Mr. Davis urging this as a proof of a malarial atmosphere in his cell, reiterating his wish that, if the gov ernment wanted to be rid of him without trial, it might take some quicker process. Prisoner said ho had never held much hope for himself since entering Fortress Monroe, and was now losing it for his people. The action and tone in regard to the Richmond elections, gave evidence that the policy of “woe to the conquered"’ would prevail. What a crnel farce it was to permit an exercise of the elective franchise, with a proviso that the electors must cast their ballots for men they despised or hated ! Either all pretence of continuing rep resentative government should be abandoned, or free acceptance given to the men endorsed by the people To ask men who had fought, sacrificed, and lost their all for a cause, to wheel suddenly, and vote into power men they despised as renegades or cowards, was the sin of attempting to seethe the kid in its mother’s milk. Better for the South to remain disfranchised forever, than crawl back into office or recognition through such incredi ble apostacy. Better remain prisoners, than he citizens on such terms. In no district of Virginia could what we called a “loyalist,” muster a corporal’s guard of men with similar sentiments. Why organize hypocrisy by at tempting to force into elective positions men who were not representatives of their alleged constituents—men who could only excite the abhorrence or contempt of ninety nine in eve ry huudred of the people ? Either the South should be declared so many conquered provin ces under military rule, or give back the freedom of the ballot. To offer bribes for wholesale falsehood, would be found poor pol | icy : aud the men hereafter to create trouble i in the South would not ue the gallant and well , bom gentlemen who (ought loyally, and at ev ery sacrifice of life and property for a cause ; they believed right, but that small scam of I poltroons and renegades who remained “neu [ tral” through the contest, only anxious to avoid i danger tor themselves, and jump over to the ; side that won. The former class accepted de feat, and would loyally preserve any obliga- I tions that might be imposed cn them. Tbe latter were worthless and pitiful intriguers, commanding no popular confidence, chastened by no memories ot the struggle; and now that j no personal risk could be incurred, would srek | to attain popularity—the popularity ot d> ma- ' gognes—by re-fanning into flame the passions and prejudices of the igqorant and vulgar. They will be clamorous for Southern rights, now that Southern rights are dead, and out- Hcr.d Herod in their professed devotion to the Southern causa. HIS OPINION OF MR. LINCOLN. Os Mr. Lincoln he then spoke, not in affect ed terms Ot regard or admiration, but paying a simple and sincere tribute to bis goodnoes of character, honesty of purpose, and Christian desire to be faithful to his duties according to such light as was given him. Also to his offi cial purity and freedom from avarice. The Southern press labored in the early pan of the war to render Mr. Lincoln abhorred and con temptible, but such efforts were against his judgment, and such opposition as his multipli ed cares and labors would permit. Behind M Lincoln, during his first term, stood infinitely more objectionable and 1e33 scrupulous succes sor (Mr. Hamlin,) and the blow that struck down the President of the United States wouid place that successor in power. When Mr. Lin coln was riinaugurated, the cause of the peo pie was hopeless, or very nearly „o—the strug gle only justifiable in continuance by its better attitude for obtaining terms ; aud fiorn no ruler the United States could have, might terms so generous have been expected. Mr Lincoln was kind of heart,.naturally longing for the glory and repose of a second term to be spent in peace. Mr. Johnson, being from the South, dare not offer such liberal treatment ; his motives would be impugned. In every em bittered national struggle, proposals to assas sinate the rival representatives were common, emanating from different classes of men with dif ferent motives; from spies of the euomy, wish iDg to obtain evidence how such proposals would be received; from fanatics, religious or patriotic, believing the act would prove ac ceptable to Heaven; from lunatics, driven mad by sufferings ‘connected with the struggle ; and from boastful and often cowardly despera does, seeking gold and notoriety by attempt ing, or promising to attempt, the crime, At the t’me it occurred, Mr. Lincoln’s death, even by natural causes, would have been a serious injury to the prospects of the South ; but the manner of his taking-off, frenzyrng the North ern mind, was the last crowning calamity of a despairing and defeated, though righteous cause. * [Special Correspondence of the N. Y. Times .1 GEORGIA. Appearance of the Country and Prospects of the Crops— Condition of the colored Popu lation. Bainbridge, Decator County, Ga., ) June 4,1866. \ From Newton, Baker county, whence I last wrote, I came to*a place in this county called Blowing Cave, which is owned by Mr. Daniel Barrow, and is one of the finest and best culti vated plantations I have seen since I com menced my tour of observation. There are eighty hands employed in the culture, and there are close on four hundred acres planted in cotton, with the due proportion of corn, peas and sugar cane. All the crop was as clean as a well tilled gardeD, the fences in good repair, the stock in good care, the cotton bloom ing, and the corn commencing to tassel beau tifully. Unless something unforeseen occurs, a yield of two hundred and fifty bales, 450 lbs each, is confidently expected from this place. The hands are all “family negroes,” that is, the former slaves of the proprietor, who were born and reared on-the plantation. They are now surrounded by their families and friends, and are living in the houses they have known from infancy. The men work as diligently as they ever did, from sunrise to sunset, and their general conduct is said to be aa blame less as could be expected from the same num ber of laborers of any race or color. Their rations are the same as those I have already described, and their clothing ample, although the texture of the fabrics of which the jackets and pants are made would not compare favor ably with those employed by the artistes of Broadway. The shoes are good, but clearly not of French extraction, and the head gear of males and fe males bears no resemblance to the costly mon strosities which fashionable hatters and milli ners now impose on a suffering public. They all seemed cheerful, looked forward with veiy pleasurable anticipations to the realization of i their share of the crop, and seemed much .flat tered when I told them that they had their ground cleaner than any I had seen. I spent ; some time in the fields while the hands were at work. I watched the foreman and mana -1 gers and the laborers in the petformance of their several duties, and I can assure you those who have such torrents of tears to shed over : the crushing daily toil, in a broiling sun of tin poor African, and the heartless brutality oi taskmasters, must reserve their briny showers for some other place than this, or any which I have visited recently. Northern operatives in factories are compelled to work harder than any negroes on tho plantations to which I re fer; and the exactions of Northern euperia tondeats of labor, in regard to the continuity and quality of work, are far more severe than anv I have seen here. Now, it must not be supposed that my visit was expected, and that things were “fixed” after due rehearsal of all the parts, so as to make an impression for publication. In the first place, my visit was without notice of any kind. Like Paul Pry, I just “dropped iu” end hoped “f didn’t intrude.” And in the next place nobody had the remotest idea that I in tended to write or publish anything connected with the plantation. It was a visit of the “family diuner”.order, without any prepara tion, and I saw men and things as they are from Monday morning to Saturday night. For the last fifteen or sixteen days, I have been in the midst of Africans, where the pop ulation is frequently a hundred negroes to one white, and in some cases double and treble that difference. I have lived and moved among them, talked to them freely, wherever I went, and heard them talk to each other when they did not believe there were any “white folks round.” Daring my life Lhave traveled a good deal, and “in strange lands have made myself no stranger,” and I can as sure you with perfect sincerity, that I have never seen a peasant population anywhere, so generally “well-off” as thefreedmen in this section of Georgia, who work on the pi ante tions. They take no heed what they shall e3t, nor what they shall drink, nor for their bodies wherewith they shall be clothed. All that is provided for them by their employer, of good quality and in abundance. What European peasant, what Northern laborer can say the same? Go into the noisome tenement houses of your large cities, and see the ragged, half starved men, women and children, and yeu will fiad the answer. In case of sickness a compel ent medical man visits the freedmen and gives h m the best medicines. It is true, under the free labor systemhe forfeits wages during sickness. But he is well tended, carefu ly nursed, and sup plied with everything needed for his recovery. Visit the hospitals and see whether Northern laborers are as well provided in case of sick* ness or accident. At the epd of the year each full hand will probably receive a bale of cot ton, or say $125 for hU year’s labor, in addi tion to food, clothes and doctor’s bill. Where does a Northern t or Enropean laborer of tbe same class do as well or earn as much 1 No honest man. who tells tbe truth, after personal observation, can say otherwise than that the mass of the negro population of the South is mentally the lowest order of the hu man creation to be found anywhere. Whether this intellectual iucapacity is or is cot the re sult of a condition of slavery, I do not pretend to decide or even to discuss. But the fact is so. Most negroes have imitative smartness in a greater or less degree. Some are shrewd, nearly all are cunning, but with very rare ex ceptions I have never seen any whose reason ing faculties were not inferiorjo those of the least intellectual white man wh<s was compos mentis. They are the most sensual race in existence. They have less foresight and thrift than white children of ten years old. Their religion consists exclusively in demonstrative forms. Some of their religious ceremonies re minded me ot the howling dervishes of Turkey. The moral restraints —honesty, truth, and the obligations of man to his feliow—they ackDowl edge, but rarely observe where they can es cape detection. Bat they are kind-hearted, gentle, obedient, dependent and timid—easily controlled, but as easily imposed upon—ail ig norant as the mule they drive. Aside from the desire to “punish rebels,” make them “reap what they have sown,” and generally turn this country into a hell on earth, ate the people I have described above fit for the suffrage ? Suppose the right to give them the elective franchise in Georgia to be a3 clear as the absence of any such power is admitted" weuld it be wise or politic to place such a people in the possession of the highest attri butes of Government ? How will the destruc tion of the South benefit the North ? Are the fancied means of retaining political supremacy to be sought at the sacrifice of every other con sideration f There are no people who have a deeper interest in the peace and prosperity of this section than the manufacturers of the North. This is their garden and orchard, upon the luxuriance and steady yield of which their comfort depends. Let it be made a Hayti or a Jamaica, and what becomes of its fertility ? The Sea Islands which have been Jamaicaized for the last four years ought to have taught a lesson as to the consequence of African su premacy. Now. this is the happiest and most , prosperous agricultural community I ever saw. Let the Radicals have their way, and it wiii be tbe most wretched and most unfortunate. Qcasbam. A negio man, named George Knight, was murdered in New Haven, Connecticut, on the night cf the 13th, by some unknown parties. Evidently Clair Clyde is a woman ; the last verse is “confirmated strong as holy writ.” [From the Cincinnati Enquirer.] PARTED. Yes, the words at last are spoken, I stave told him he was free ; He may go with those who love him, It will never trouble me ; Though, struggled long with weakness, I am free —yes, free at last; Yet I sometimes may be haunted By the visions of the past. For my heart almost relented As I listened to his prayer,• So full of bitter anguish And seeming wild despair, He never loved another, He could never love but me ; But I only answered coldly, Remember, you are free. Then he turned away in sadness With a fevered, throbbing brow. And I heard him wildly murmur, Life is nothing to me now. I could not forget my sorrow, Nor my deeply wounded pride ; I fiad seen him in the twilight With another by his side. And his arm was clasped around her As she whispered low to him ; \ cs, I saw them from my window, Through the twilight gray and dim ; I will never have a lover If I cannot think him true ; And if there be any flirting. Let it be mine to do. Clair Clyde. Street manners. We are, says the Hartford Times, the great est, wisest and most accomplished people in the world, but one now and then sees exhibitions of taste and virtue in the street that fall an arrow’s head short of perfection. Notwithstanding the angelic nature of the fair sex, we now and then notice that they like to march three or four abreast on the sidewalk, with their expanded skirts occupying the whole available passway for pedestrians. As we are young and nimble we do not mind a step'ofl from the curb into the gutter, in order to let the radiant platoon pass without breaking line, but when we see an aged man, tottering under the infirmities of years, compelled to do the same thing, we are inclined to doubt the fairness, not of the ladies’ faces, but of the monopoly of the sidewalk they so persistently claim. There is also a peculiar habit of some of the sterner sex, called men, which is refreshing to notice, as an exhibition of remarkable fine taste and decorum. That is, when a lady passes who is compelled to hold up her skirts to avoid the filth or wet on the pavement, (?) to stop, turn round and examine with deliberation, not to say anxiety, her lower extremities—make a minute examination of her ankles, and whatever else a tilting hoop may chance to display. Tilting hoops, to be sure, often display charms to which tile most clod-blooded may not always be in' sensible; and when one sees white hose filled with the daintiest proportions, and moving with elastic and graceful step, just a few yards ahead, one is perhaps not called upon to cover his eyes with his hands; but to deliberately stop and turn round upon a passing woman tor the. , pur pose of inspecting such a phenomenon, is not in the very best taste. Tbe Dictator of Peru. The dictator of Peru has been making a sheech which does himself credit for its public spirit and liberality. He says : The people conferred on mq the dictatorial power, which I have exercised to suit an extra ordinary state of affairs, and which will continue until we learn whether the Spanish vessels have fled. Everything leads us to presume that they have left the waters of the Pacific. On the very day on which this presumption is confirm' ed I will call an election and convoke Congress, Meantime it would be imprudent to distract our attention. We now salute with the purest sen timents, our honored sister Republics of the al liance. God grant that the ties which now unite us may never be severed, and that our destinies may forever be united under the game form of government. It remains for me, gen« tlemen, in the name of Peru, to pay a tribute of profound gratitude to the self denying and noble firemen— French, Italian and German— and in aeneral to all our guests from every part of the world who have so promptly and cordi ally assisted us with their persons and resources, suffering and rejoicing with us. Live here, worthy and industrious foreigners—if those can.be called foreigners who have embraced us with such brotherly love; who have defended our territory as though it were their own ; who have cared for our wounded, buried our dead, and assisted our widows and orphans. Live here with us, under the shelter of our love arid gratitude. We shall be brother citizens of Peru. — The Losses by Crevasses in Louisiana.— A late Washington dispatch says the report of Governor Humphrey, of Miss., concerning the losses by crevasses in Louisiana, shows the breaks to be numerous and unusually disas trous . He recommends appropriations as follows : Yazoo bottoms, $305,000.. Eight levees on the Texas bottom, $295,000. Three levees on the Mississippi delta, *217,000. An aggregate of $817,000. He says that crops of cotton growing in the regions above Red River in 1860 would amount to $108,000,000, and the sugar crop bslow that would be, at present prices, $50,000,000. The complete repair of all the levees would require $3,900,000, divi ded between Arkansas, Louisiana and Missis sippi. He estimates alluviate lands at three hundred and Beven thousand square miles, of which oue hundred and twenty-three thousand are in tbe sugar regions, of which one-third might be brought under cultivation, or a mil lion and a half acres for sugar, and seven mil* Hon acres to cotton. The Courteous Minister.— At the beginning of the civil war in England, Parliament had forbidden a clergyman to read the liturgy of service of the church, under the severest pen alties. Dr. John Backet, rector of a church in London, continued to read the daily service as before. On Sunday, a sergeant accompanied by a soldier, rushed into the church, and with a ioud voice demanded him to desist, but he, wi t;j a steady voice and intrepid countenance, continued. The Boldier pointing a pistol at his head, threatened him with instant death, unless he should cease reading. The undaunt ed minister calmly replied, ‘‘Soldier, I am do ing my duty, do you yours!” and read on. The sergeant and soldier abashed, left the church. Bloody Intelligence from Bemphis. Memphis, Friday, JuDe 15. A posse of men to-day attempted to bring info tbe city two men, named S. A. Boyett and Frank Wingate, arrested for the murder of a man named Payne, ou Tuesday night. It seems the guilty parties were informed of byE. N. Bank, an accomplice, who hunted them out near this city this morning. . Oa nearing the city they were met by a Mr. Henderson, a relative of Payne, who shot all three, killing Bank and mortally wounding Bayett. The leader of the posse ordered Hen derson to desist, and on refusing, the latter was shot and killed; The man who killed Hender son was his own uncle. A telegram from Little Rock, last night, stated that Dr. Webb, a wealthy citizen of that place, and his son, were murdered in their beds by an unknown assassin. Mill Furnishins: Ware.
