RELIGIOUS FEA83 OF MR. DAVIa' CHAR , AQTER. There was no affectation 'of devout, ness or asCeticism' In' osy patient ; bul every opportualty I bet of eeig hin convinced me more depy of his-aiiceri religious donvictions. He was fblid'o referring to passges of sdriptnte. corn paring text with text, dwelling bn the divine beausty of the imagetr'and' thi wonderful adaptation of, the 'wh614' t every conceivable pia.e and stage c h.wnan life. Nothinegilhat, any man' individual experience, however strng6, could 'uring home to ,hims, but had been previously fotet'ld and described, with its proper lesan or pronAiso of hope, in the sacred volume. It was the only absolute wisdom, reaching all varieties of existence, because comprehending the whole ; qnd beside its inspired universal knowledge all the learning of humanity was but foolishness. The Psalms were -his f1vorite portion of the word, and had always been. kvidence of their divine origin was inherent in their text. Only an intelligence that held the lifethireads of the entire human family could have thus pealed forth in 'a single cry every wish, joy, exultation, hope, passion, anid sorrow of the human heart. There were rnonents,- while speaking on religious subjects, in which M r. Davis inipre'ssed me more than any professor of Chris. tianity I had ever heard. Thero was a vital earnestness in his discourse; a clear, aniost passionate grasp in his-faith; and the thought would. frequently recur thit a belief capable of consoling- such rows as his possesAe, and thereby.ovi. denced, a i-eality, a substance, which no Pphistry of tlhe infidel could discredit. To this phase of the prisoner's charne. t I have heretofore rather AriOided cal ng attention for sevori, 0'iaons, pro.6inent of which though'aq umvotthy one'was this: y'/knowledge that many,' if n1ot a m)ajorhy, of iny readers would approach the character of "Mr. Davis w ith, a pre. coaception'ef dislikes and distrust, and a consequent fear that' an earlier lorcing on theit atfention of-this ph0se' of his character, before their opinion had been modified by subi glimpses as are heroin given, night-only challenge a,base and also imputation of hypocrisy against one than whom, in mv judgment, no more devout exemplar of Christian faith, and, ite value as a- oonsolation --iow_ lives, whatever may have been his political crines or errors. THE PoRK DIsEAsE.-A Western letter-writer says the pork disease has appeared int Marion, Linn county, Iow. A whole family, consistin-g. ,uf eight or ten persons, was taken sick, -and, after an investigation it was fonil that they had.h.oen eating, dried and smoked h iu its raw state, as dried beef is eaten. The-' physicians, who were called, in at.once, decided that 'their illness was due to trichinosis. One innber .of 'the family died on Friday hild one on Saturday, and at the timo of writing three more were in a dfngeiduo state, while three ?th era wre. apparently convalesqng. Befc.0 deftth the victims became bloated in'th- limbs, face and neck. They would thtow up bloody, mucus, and they died delirious.

Tu PHonAnLi RFELEASE,'F JEPFER SoN DAtvs.-A correspondent writing from Fortress Monroe under date 19th, declared the following of the much ogi-' tated question of Mr. Davis' release, and the facilities he is ''at present allow ed in the fort: The various Statements in regard to the probable 'release or parole of Jeffer son Davis, and the much agitated ques tion 'as to his health, are fast ceasing to be a matter of discussion in this seAtion of the country. With the freedom of tbe fort granted him, and the conseipent rela*ation of the vigilahee over his movements kept by the military anthor ities, ceases alt the anxiety of ai- antici pated release oi- ecape, and travel'lers or visitors sojouning temporarily on .t.he Pcint-won)d scarcely be aware of the itnprisonment ' here of Jefferson bivie, were it not far the- system of 'prohibit ing passes to oler officers and' employ ees of the Government, to ener th .for tress.

If Dr. Craven had not wisely published the whole oliloini correspondence, the fel. lowing statement would seem inereible: On the 26th of October last "Mr. Davis having complained thathis clothing was too thin for the increasing cold" 'of a room in which there was no fire, Dr- Craven ro quested a "friend to procure a good heavy black pilot overcoat" and "soo flannels for .the prisonhe r." . "These act$," says Dr. Craven, "appear. itag to tme innocent, an:1 even laudhble, caused mne great trouble, as miy be .ceu.hby the following correspondence, finally lead' ing to a peremptory order which altogeth-OP broke off the previously freerelations 1 had exercised with Mr. Davis." All of us probably recollect the delectable Forney's noble rage about this tumorable overcoat. That incomparable wretch was, indignant at President Davis having go6ill 1warn clothing. When Forney heird that a .(pijor natned "Owens" was~miaking an over tobiAfgr Agr. Davis theChrone/e slouted Witir'or a week. It favored Mr. Davis' freezing to death and charged that the con. ppiracy to keep him warm was the work of 'traitors." It is consoling to reflect, how ever, that if there is any heat in Orcus, that Forney will not require an overcoat when thme devil gets his own. As a matter of course Miles is ant atten tive reader of the Chronicle, qid Forney's clamor about Ex-Preidant. Davi:' overcoat greatly exercised thKa n ii h6n ro. Dr. Craven states tt' on th4 10th of November hist, in cotisequen'4o of "certain comnmtents in ihe newspapers upon an over coat having been ordered for Mr. Davis of S. W. Owenis, a tailor of WIashington city, lie received a brief official letter from the Major General commanding" (Miles,) 'in quiring if any o'ders had been given by him" (Cravent) "for an'overcoat, for Jefferson Da vis ?" To this Important official interrogatory Craven at once replied "respectfully, ' that "lo did order a thick overcoat, woolen drawers and under-shirts for 'Mr. Davis, because the prisoner was feeble in health and Ihe Winds of the coast cold and piero iWpon this reply Miles chowed the cud of both sweet and bitter reflection for the qpaco .of eight dajP and .olo 18tb op gibar. hurled a second o-IluAil or ef at craven to the effect that "in future you give no orders for Jefferson Pavis without first communica ting with these lJead Districts, and also that in future your conversations with Jef ferson Davis inust be confined strictly to professional -matters." "i1'ead District" Nliles then closed his angry order with the following reference to the "ioinentotis overcoat": "You will also report the price paid for Jpfferson Davis' overcoat, and by whom paid !" To this note Craven replied that lie did "not know the cost of tie over coat-had not received the bill, butwould send it to deneral Miles when received." A few days afterwnrds the noblo Miles, burning with patriotic impatience, ag4in wrote to Oraven asking "if the overcoat fur nished to the prisoner hhd been paid for ?" To thisletter Craven responded "that par ties unknown had paid for the overcoat without his approval, knowledge or con sent." Thus ended the famous "overcoat correspondence," which terminated the hu mane and pleasant Intercourse of the illus trioue prisoner and his kind physician. and we allude to it editorially, as the picture which is elsewhere drawn of Miles, would be imperfect it this cha'raterlsqic corres pomience was omitted.--Richtnond Times.

INDIAN COTTON.-India, perhaps, more than any other part of the world is iLtted to supply our markets with an abundant, god and cheap supply cf cot. ton. Hitherto the quantity of this im. portant stap)le that has fouid its way to Liverpool and other principal ports has disappointed the anticipation of those best acquainted with' its immense re sources and capabilities; but when we consider.the dilicuhies which had and are still to byAtirn,ounted, we have rea son to coiratulate ourselves .that so much has been accomplished.- A glance at the list ofcountries contributing cot.. ton will show that, a very c3isiderable increase has taken place in the quantity mow imported from our Easterit Empire; and hvre we must, in justice, remark that this result is, in a great meSsure, if not altogether, attributed to thejwe sistent, exertion the Cotton Supply A&4 ' sociation ot Manchester have pnt forth to overcome the prejudices and naturaf cona*rvatism of the narive mind, oad to stimulate both the large and small pro prie:ors to the cultivation of the cotton plant wherever it could be grown with siecess. It has now been demonstrated satisfactorily that the land owners of India will, as elsewhe're, give tip the culture of their accustomud crops'where they find it profitable to do so, and if. only the force of the soil is seconded-b. the use of modern agricultural, cleansing nud pressing machinery, and the moas of transport improved, - we may cdnfi dently look to our possessions in the East ultimately standing at the head of tie list as a source of supply. In al! these respects, however, India' labors under very serious disadvantages. Tho culture of the plant is carried on in the most primitive manner, and with ijqYlQments of the roughest and most rtiquated character; the product is im Pttfqy. cleane ; frequently no attempt whatever idhd' to subject it to Uffod Live and adequate preonure, and the means of ransport; and ;htercomitnmica Lion are positively disgraceful. If we idd to these deawbacks the fact that the irticle at present growti is niostly of interior quality, simply because it is raised from inferior seed, we have a tate of things presented deserving of the attention not merely of the mercantile oMn11inunity, but aso of theGovernment. -Oridal (London) Circular.
