Mii.ts ox tub Wan 1'ath.?WJieu Jefferson Davis was a prisoner of war at Fortress Monroe, (ten. Nc'son A. Miles was the commandant of that I'ost. The indignities with which the C< nfederato President was treated during hss i areeratimi have (| been testified to bv well-n redited witnesses on both miles, nnd Mr. 1?;i\ h himself bore testimony to tho outrages which wore prnc(iccil upon liiiu by the Federal military o< authorities. In the history which she lift- jl( written of her husband's lifo Mrs. Davis ^ Hny.s tliiit lien. Miles subjected Mr. Davis to ' Various ami unnecessary indignities, among tlicm being confinement in a vermin-infected at cell. (leu. Miles has replied to Mrs Davis's n, Btntemeuts in terms which show him to be more of a brute than a soldier or gentleman. 01 "Of cours*," lie says, "the woman feels in bitter toward tne, as sho probably docs to- u< wards many other Northern soldiers, ami it is only to tie expected that she should." ? And, again: "There i* not a particle <-f 1" truth in ibe H Dement < imolo by Ids (Mr. Davis's) wife." It was not to be^ospc t IJ tha' tion. Miles h wou'd confess that bad he used hit power at Fortress Monroe to abuse it, or that He would aokno vledgo that his conduct towards Mr. Davis was a disgrace to the imi- 01 form which he wore, hut no plainer evidence cl of his capacity to do the things charged t? against liiui could be desired than the Inn- ' guage which he has used in regard to Mrs. Davis. A soldier who would seek to insult " n numim v?ri suny Would nut hesitate to (j heap indignities upon n prisoner of war committed to his keeping. lint it is not to he wondered at that Hen. ft Miles, fresh from the slaughter of Indian ? squaws ami babies in Dakota, should seek t, to insult the widow of the late President of ,. the Southern Confederacy. Hi. distinguished services in the campaign against Mrs. P Davis will probably entitle hhu to another tl brevet, and lie considered an achievement d making him worthy to he included among c tlic "Heroes of the Nation."?Xncs ami Courier. 0 ?
