Tbo Charleston Courier sAys that when President Davis, was captured he'was circled , in women? clothes; and that he was conversing with the ladies, one of whom proved to ybe his . wife, and the other Mrs. Clay. His capture was affected by one company. The Courier says: . . . The Sergeant of tlie Compapy noticed the trio and was suspicious^hnt all was not right, consequently'he dismounted and asked the party some few questions. In the course, of tho interview Davis, unluckily for- himself,exposed his boots, i This did not escape thejiotice oflTie Sergeant, and lie at once came to the conclusion that the foot was altogether too , \ .0 ~ large to belong to t\ woman. To satisfy .himself) however, lie stooped down and lifted a .corner of the dress, when not 'only boofs but pants were made visible. He' nest made an - examination of the bonnet, which, on being . removed, disclosed to view the head of a man, ' and this man.the Sergeant at once recognized to be Jeff Davis. Said the Sergeant, after removing the bonnet, "Jeff Davis, you ^rc m)v man, come with' me." - v . Mrs. Davis j>ind Mrs. Clay were also arrested.. The party wefe sent to Hilton Head, wherethey remained until yesterday. They were * then placed on board the steamer W; W. Clyde, and conveyed to Fortress Monroe. The ' Ctyde was convoyed by th^gunboat Tuscarora. . When'tbe steamerarrives from'Hilton Head, we shall doubtless be furnished with the particulars of the capture. - ' , ; . It is stated, that the tall figure of Davis seriously inteifcrrcd with his assuming the character of a woman. Notwithstanding he Bto'oped considerably and feigned lameness, he was not able to'deceive the Sergcantwvho made ' the arrest. , ; *We predicted.some time ago that Davis would never be able to get out of the country. The telegraph wires had been brought into the service of !|is capture,' and all through the Southern States squads of Union cavalry had .bperi sent out to hunt,him down. . i Thus, the arch-traitor, who a "few months eigo so flippantly issued decrees for thc'tnurdcr*. fog of Union meo will very soon find a decree , ?) which he will be the victim. We hone the zeal of the Union flag now we Lave Davis in our clutches. We want nest; the unprincipled traitors who forme# his Cabinet. Most of tliem * are doubtless skullring about in Georgia^ or Alabama, and by all means'let us capture tlioin. The New York Herald announces the arrival in New York of Dr. A, G. JIsfK?r..an acknowTcdgod Union leader'of Iho Palmetiu who "lias, suffered A much from liis continued a... ul qf hia principles." '* '?i'? * . * v r 4 * ? ' \ ' 1 * * ' CAJlDElV,- FRIDAY, MAY 26.
