"Prison,Lifo of Mr- Davis" Ts tho tillo of a work recently published, written by Brevet Lieut.-'Gol. J. J. Craven, late Surgeon U. S. Volunteers. Dr. Craven, it will lui recollected, " was relieved from du ty" at Portress Monroe, last December, foi exhibiting too inucli humanity towards Mr Davis. The work now published will d?. much to awaken a sympathy for thc greal State prisoucr, in the minds of tho gencrouf and humane everywhere. Judging from thc extracts we have met with in tho columns'o our exchanges, tho narrativo must be one o great interest. > The following which ls taken from Dr. Cra von's Diary, (J uly il),-' contains piece of i history which will provo generally interesting nnd serve to illustrate the extent and aecurac; of Mr. Davis's information. Mr. Davis spoke of. tho wretchedness o hoing constantly watched--of feeling that human 03-0, inquisitive and pitiless, was lixei upon his movements night and day. Th i was one of thc torments imposed on Marqui do Lafayctto in tho dungeon of Magdeburg! OluiUtZ, Indeed, the parallel between thci prison lives, if not in some other respects, wa rom likable. Lafayette was denied thc usco n knife or fork, least he should commit sell destruction. Ile was confined in a casemate or dungeon, of thc two most powerful foi tresses of Prussia first, and thou Austria. While ill Magdeburgh, bo found a friend ii th? humano physician,' who repeatedly repot tod that thc prisoner could not live unless a lowed to breathe purer air than that of his coll and on this, recommendation-thc Govornor n first answering that ho " was not ill enoug yet"-the illustrious prisoner was at lengt allowed to take the air, sometime* on foot, ?1 other timos in a carriage, b it always acco np; ied by au officer with drawn sword, and tw Armed guards.. Mr. Davis then narrated with groat spiri and minuteness, tho offerts made by Com Lilly-Tolc.idal, assisted by Dr. lirio Bullina! of llanover, and Mr. Huger, of South Can lina, to effect Lafayette's liberation. Mr. IL ger was a young gentleman of Huguenot e: traction ; and Lafayette, .upon landing ne; Georgetown, South Carolina, accompanied b Baron De Kalb, had first boeii a guest of M jot? Huger, tho father of bis rescurer. D Bellman's visit to Vienna, where he romaine six months, lulling suspicion by pr?tendit to study or, practise medicino: .His the mooting wi th-young Huger, and the mann in which tho t wo courteous, but daring me mutually discovered to each other their sit ?lar i ty of object. tho code of signals .whit thoy gradually established with the. prison and his Dual rescue for some brief hom's fro * captivity by their exertions, togethor with 1 ro-orrest, and the capture and terrible punis ment inflicted on his rescuers--all of thc points Mr. Davis recited With a vividnc which made each feature in tho suecessi abanos pass before the mental eye as thou; in tho unrollingof a panorama. Huger a Bul I man were heavily ironed round the nc an 1 ohttinod to the floors of separate dungooi in utter darkness. Once every half ho th? Austrian officer of the day entered, fias cd' a dark lantorn;into their faocs to iden fy thom and soo that they still lived, and th carefully examined every link of tho chai binding their nocks to the floor and shack I i their foot and wrists. This treatment last . night and day for six months, the prison! being almost skeletons when finally they t tiincd their release, which w'as secured thc rep rosco tatton of General Wnsliingtc tho powerful 'advocacy of Mr. Pox and t Liberals in tho British P it'.'lament amit humano ?yinp thy of tho Count Motrosk who wicldod a powerful influence tn tho A' trian court.

LINCOLN'S ACCOUNT OK HIS OLANDKb TINK JOURNKY. . "While in Washington city, early in Dc comber, 1S04, the writer called ou tho Pres ident with Isnao N. Arnold, member of Con gress from Chicago, one of Mr. Lincoln's most trusted personal friends. Wo found him alone in the room wherein thc Cabinet meetings are held, (ra the White House,) whose windows overlook tho Potomac and tho Washington monument. At tho request of the writer, the President related the circumstances of Iiis clandestino journey between Philadelphia and Washington. The narrative n - hero given substantially in his own words, ns follows : " I arrived at Philadelphia on tho 21st. 1 agreed to stop over night, and on the follow ing morning hoist, the flag over Independence Hall. In thc evening, there Wtis'a great crowd where I received my friends at the Continen tal Hotel. Mr. Judd, n warm and personal friend from Chicago, sent for me to come to his room. I went, and found there Mr. Pink erton, ;i skilful police detective, also from Chicago, who had been employed for some days in Baltimore, watching or searching for suspicious persons there. Pinkerton informed mo that a plan had boon laid for my assassin ation ; the exact time when I expected to izo through Haiti more bel?g publicly known. He was well informed as to thc plan, but did not i know that thc conspirators would have pluck j enough to execute it. lie urged me to go riiiht through with bim to Washington that night. 1 had made un engagement to visit Harrisburg and go from there to Haltimore, and 1 resolved to do so. I could not believe there was a plot to murder me. 1 modo ar rangements, however, with M . Judd for my return to Philadelphia the next night,' if I should be convinced that there was danger in going through Haltimore. t told him that it [should meet at Harrisburg, asl had at other places, n delegation to go with mc to thc next place, (then Hal ti moro,) 1 should feel safe, ami go on. When I was making my way back to my room, through crowds of people, I met brod erick Seward. Wc went together to my room, when he told inc that he had been sent, at thc instance of his father and Gen. Scott, to in form me that their detectives in Haltimore, had discovered a plot there to assassinate mc. They knew nothing of Pinkerton's movements. I now believed such a plot to be in existence "Tho ucxt morning I raised thc flag ovoi Independence Hall, ?ind then went on to Har risburg with Slr. Sumner, Major (now (.louerai Hunter, Mr. Judd, Mr, trillion and others. There I mot thc Legislature and people, dined aud waited until tho time appointed for nie ti leave. In thc meantime, Mr. Judd had so cured tho telegraph that no ooniniunicatior could pass to Haltimore and give the conspira tors knowledge of a ohange in my plans. " In New York some friend had given ii? a new beaver hat, in a box, mid in it hat placed a soft wool hat. I had never worn om of thc latter iii my Ufo. i had this box ii my room. Having informed my friends o the secret of my movements, and tho cause, J put on nu overcoat that 1 had with nie, 1 walked out of the house at a back door, bare headed, without exciting any special curiosity Then I put on thc soft hat and joined in; friends without being recognized by strangers for I was not the same man.

" Wo went back to Philadelphia, and foiini a message there from Pinkerton (who had rc turned to Ba I (?inoro, (that tho conspirator had held their final meeting that evening, an it was doubtful whether they had thc ncrv to attempt thc execution of their purpose, went on,' however, ns tho arrangement ha been made, in,a special train.

At an carly hour on Sat urdu morning, at about thc time I was expected t leave Harrisburg, I arrived in Washington.1 IMMORTALITY.-How very beautiful th following gem from thc pen of tho gifted Pr?t tice, and how happy tho heart that canse these beauties as ho portrays thom, lt is n freshing to read such. Its exquisite beaut will induce many of our renders no doubt, t transfer it to their Scrap Hooks : " Why is it that tho rainbow and thc clou come over us with a beauty that is not c earth, and then pass away, and Icavo us t muse on thoir -faded loveliness? Why is that thc stars, which hold their nightly fest val around thc midnight throne, aro place above tho reach of our limited faculties, foi ever mocking us with their unnpprouclmbl ylory?

Almost nil die of disappointment, passional, montai, or of bodi ly tojl, or of accident. Thc passions kill mcu sometimes, even suddenly. The common ex pression, " choked with passion," has little exaggeration in it ; for even though uot sud denly fatal, strong passions shorten life. Weak men h ve longer than tho strong, for tho strong usc their strength, and tho weak have none to uso. The latter take caro of themselves j thc former do not. As it is with the body, so it is with tho mind and temper. Thc strong arc apt to break, or, like a cundi?, to "run ;" the weak burn out. The inferior in animals, which live, in general, regular and temperate lives, have generally their prescribed term of years. The horse lives about twenty live years ; the ox fifteen or twenty ; the ?log tou or twelve; thc lion, wc are told about twenty; thc rabbit eight. Tho duration, of lifo in ult those bear a similar proportion to thc time tho. animal takes to grow to' it$ full si/.o. But man, of all the animals, is thc one that seldom comes to his average. Ile ought to live a hundred years, according to hisphya i inlogical law, for five times twenty aro one hundred ; but instead of that he scarcely I reaches, on tho average, four times his growing period ; tho cat six times, and the rabbit even eight times thc standard of measurement. ' The reason for all this is obvious Maitis not only the most irregular aipl-lhc most labo rious and hard-working (d'all animals. Ile is also the most irritable of animals ; and there is reason to believe, (though wc cannot tell what an animal secretly feels) that, more than any hiller animal, man cherishes wrath to keep it warm, and consumes himself with the Cue of his own secret relied ions. Besides this, man is the only animal that makes a wide de parture from those laws of nature which con trol life lie takes on unnatural and health destroying habits, carrying them to tho verge of tho grave, and clinging to them with a te nacity which yields not even to his better judgment. The. lower order of animals never do this. Instinct is their guido, ??nd the su perior duration of life they enjoy ts proof ol thc folly of man.

The History of Sermons. When shall thc world bo favored with a history of thc pulpit, and who .will writo it ? Suoh a work is a great desideratum, and well executed might pro'veof incalculable value. Thc world is full of material, which only needs to be collected, sifted and arranged? Let some of our men of might gird himself for the tusk. , ; One chapter in such a work, or perhaps more should bo given to tho origin and histo-1 ry of sernio?is, and curious indeed would be its developments ; especially if ?ill their secret history could bo made known. Lei us give t wo or three facts, which may go to show some- | what of what we mean. One of the most beautiful and popular of the sermons of Robert Hall is the t ne OUCH slpnod by the death of the amiable Prui ?ess Charlotte; who died in 1817 ; a sermon which he had not thought of delivering an hour be fore its commencement. . Devoted to* his stud ies, this eminent man seldom looked at a news p ?.ncr, and was supremely ignorant of parsing events, so, ilint he was tint aware of thc (imo when the princess was to be buried. This j evon't occurred tm a Wodnosday evening, just j nt'tbd time of Mr. Hall's weekly lecture..- i Royal bereavements in Kilgin nd generally have j attention paid them from the pulpit, especial \ ly nt the hour of interment, but the thoughl never occurred to Mr. Hall, that, anything more than an ordinary service would take place at Harvey Lane. On his arrival thoreasusn.il, behold the whole house was lighted up and crowded. " How is this, sir ''." asked H ill of one of j his demons. "What ?Joes this crowd mean?" " Why, sir. the Princess Charlotte, yon know, is buried this evening, ami tho people arc co:lie to hoar,your funeral sermon for her," " Well, sir, I ?un very sorry, but I had for gotten it ; ns!< Mr. -to i n trod nco Ibo ser vice, and I will sit down in.the vestry, and endeavor to think of something to say." The substance of the sermon on the (opie, which appears in the first Volulnoof his Works, was the result of half an hour's reflections; the sermon was afterwards written, published; and prolnocd great effects. The widowed ? prince described it ?is tho best of ?ill sermons ! sent him on the occasion, ntl 1 another eminent Ulan thought that the production of such ? | sermon went far to account for the mysterious removal of the princess. k Much Smaller events than tho removal of the* groat have suggested good sermons. The admirable discourse on Walking by Pa i th, thc first sermon printed hy Andrew p.dh-r, owed i its origin to ?i small matter. It was delivered j nt an annual mooting of the Northamptonshire Association, at whose request it was printed, j Like tho sermon of his friend Hall, nota word , of it was written till after its delivery. On j his way to th?; association, thc roads lu several places were flooded, ?irising from recent rains win'oh bad made th) rivers overflow. Mr. Fuller came to one place where the wat?r was i very deep, and he, being n stranger to its ex act depth, was unwilling to go pu. A plain j countryman residing in tho neighborhood, bet tor acquainted with the water than the preach er, cried out, ? ? " Co on, sir, you arc quite safe." Fuller urged on his horse, hut the water soon touched his saddle and ho stopped to \ think.. . - - 1 - " ( ?o on, sir, all is right,"" shouted the man. Taking tho mau at his word. Fuller proceed ed, and thc text was suggested, " Wc walk hy faith, not. by sight.'.' Benjamin Beddome, ,tho author of some of our best hymns, was a remarkably nervous man, ? ?ind could seldom preach a.sermon on any ! public occasion with pleasure. Being engaged ?it an association, at thc very last moment bc [quarreled with his sermon, and inquired of a ? brother, " What shall 1 preach from ?" j The minister was somewhat hurt at the. in quiry at such a moment, and replied, "Ask im foolish questions." Beddome instantly read the text. " Avoid foolish questions," and delivered an admirable sermon, which was secured in short hand ?it the moment, and was printed by Hr. Rippon some fifty years ago in his Baptist Annual Register. ?wiwmiwmjmww?!?? - ,! ?? - Fjaw?--P-- wiM^mjimmum PROCLAMATION Ihj Illa End/enr// Jam** JJ.

II com mn niling Department of the Caroli nas, on the 2?th insto, by ?Special Orders No. li), has directed that white poisons in Military custody, charged with felonies or misdemean ors on the persons and property of colored persons, should bc turned over to the civil aut horities for trial, pud that like cases arising hereafter will bo disposed of in the same manner: .j And whereas, this Order-so gratifying to tho feelings and sentiment of the people of j this ?State-is based upon the legal opinion of Chief JustioO DUNKIN, given upon tho urgent j request of this Department, and communicated to ? Jen. ?Sickles : 1st. That persons of color, j under the 29th and 30th sections of tho " Act to organize District Courts," aro competent 1 witnesses in thc Court of Sessions in till cases 1 of felony committed by whites on thc person or property of a porson of color. 2d. That thoy are competent to moko affidavits and sue j out warrants against whites in felonies and misdemeanors, and also to testify boforc 0 rand J Juries in such cases, tis well ns on tho trial befdro tho Petit Jury. And 3d. That until, tho District Judges aro commissioned, tho Court pf .General Sessions retains jurisdiction of oases of misdemeanor committed by whites, on the porson or property of colored peinons. Chief Justico Dunkin says, "Tho Court of Gcnorul Sessions, had-always cognizance of offences eommittod by white persons against gg-Ul-JU^L 'J-'iJA !8^*i BJ .'I J If .'.'lim'J-?> IJJJL'.Uff'.'PW .??"t JV- ' thc persou or property of n person of color."

Tho District Courts of December, 18155, not having been put in operation, \ suppose the general jurisdiction of the Court of Ses sions remain ; and I understand thai such has berni thc ruling of thc Circuit Judges in ref erence to eases of bastardy and vagraucy which have cotne before them. < The 80th section, Act 18(15, provides " That, in every ease, civil and criminal, in willoh a person of color is a party, or which nll'ects the person or property of a person of color, persons of color shall be competent wit ness." lt is a remedial Statute mid must bo construed in reference to ita objeot. . My I opinion is, that persons of color aro compc I tout.to testify before ("rand Juries and Mag IStrates in criminal eases touching tho person or property of persons of color." I And whereas', the security of thc liberty of the citizen ?rising from his right to be tried, by a jury of his peers,.can only bo retained, in the present anomalous condition of thc coun try, by the civil officers of the State executing the principles ooptaincd in the. opinion of tho justly distinguished Chief Justice, in good faith and with an earnest desire to give secu rity and protectioji lo the persons nod property of tho colored population. And to the end that this high privilege may bo .retained by t he good people of this State, I, JAMKS L; Ok lt, Governor of tho said State, do proclaim and declare, that it is tho duty of every Civil Magistrate to give oareful consideration to every complaint made to him by a parson of color against a white man for any felony or misdemeanor alleged to havo been committed against tl. person or property of a person of color; ann if bc, upon such consideration, concludes that there are reason able mounds for snell complaint, said Magis trate shall take tho affidavit of such person of color, and issue his warrant against tho offend er, requiring his arrest and recognizance to. appear at the next term of tho Court of .(lou* eral Sessions, just a.s bc would do if the party making the complaint were a white man; nod he will also recognize all witnesses by whom the complainant may desire to prove the charge, us is now provided by law, for securing tho attendance of Statu witnesses. All Sherill*:, and Constables will promptly, faithfully and tearlessly execute nil such warrants as may bc placed in their hands. And I call upon all good citizens to ?lid in the fair, nod faithful execution of the laws of this State, tis expounded by the Chief Jus tice; and very .soon the earnest wish ex pressed by thc commanding General in Or ders No. 10, (published herewith for thc in formation of the people) ?. that it will not bo long before it jutty be truly said, that nooffenoo against the peace, and no injury to the person or property, of even the humblest inhabitant, [may bc committed with impunity in thc State of South Carolina," will be*happily realized.
