Hill Arp on Detente of Character*. I It seems to rae a powerful waste of! ammunition for our candidates to be ('hooting od their guns in defense of their characters. It might do for a stranger or a new comer to rise and explain, when was accused of improprieties that hap pened a long time ago, but if I was a canuiuate for a high office and somebody began to pick at me, I would just suv, ! You go to thunder," or words to that effect. Tho people of Georgia have known Governor Boynton and Major Bacon for twenty odd years, aud have honored them and been proud of them and they can't be fooled about their characters now. Character is not made by the day nor the year, but ten or twenty years always settles down what a man really is, especially if a war comes along in the meantime. Character is rated by the people just like merchants are rated by tte commercial agencies. It is not down in books with figures and letters and the like, but it is down ia brain and heart and memory. Thc peo ple weigh a public man just like they weigh a nabor. They do it uuconscious* ly and without method, and at no par ticular time, bul they do it. lu fact it does itself, ifome nabora make a big show for awhile, and put their best foot forward and captivate the settlement, but by and by their true character comes out and everybody knows it. Even ?|,e niggers know it. * Just so it is with pub lic men. Boynton, ?nd Bacon and McDaniel have been tried, and have got their rating. Their characters are estab lished and the people aro proud of them, and it is too late, too late, to get up a bill of indictment now. Either of them will maka a good gov ernor, and there is no use in their over zealous friends getting up au unseemly I wrangle. The peoplo don't want it, and they won't indorse it. They don't care anything about ibo asking Bullock for office or taking a fee in the Brunswick railroad or any other nonsense. They have their choice between the candi dates, but it don't come from the like ofthat or anything just now pumped up and trumped up and tumbled up for the occasion, but it cornea from ten or fifteen or twenty years knowledge of their con duct, their reputation for truth, and can dor, and capacity, and unselfishness, and patriotism. Mau is uot like a mole. They Bay a mule can behave himself for ten years, and then suddenly kick your daylights out without any provocation, but a man won't do that. A man don't learn new tricks after ho is forty years old and I reckon our candidates are all of that. There is nothing against any of em that I ever heard of. They all like themselves pretty well, but that is just human. They want their sharo of what's going, but as John Brannon says they always leave one tit for the calf. I never heard but one thing against McDaniel, and that was his soldiers said he never could say "fall back" in time when the Yankees were crowding 'em and everybody else was retreating. He could say forward, and charge and the like of that very well ; but retreat and fall back seemed to stick in bis throat, and one time he had liked to have jerked his head off before he could tell 'em lo get away from there. That would be mighty bad in the commander in-chief of the army and navy if we had to have another little war ; but I reckon we won't have it soon, and so we can risk him. The State is safe and the people are all calm and serene, for if the con vention can't agree ou either of these heises thal are booked for the race, there are plenty of good nags tied out to the swinging limbs. Pat Walsh, and Phil Cook, and Smith, and Simmon?, aud Crawford, and Jackson are not dead yet, and I hope they will take good care of themselves, for Georgia wants a good reserve corps in the rear. Let 'em keep out of danger and never ride on the bull gine. You see I was waiting for tho train the other day to go up to Jos Brown's iror mice, and TTLCE it esma along Mr. Whitehead, the conductor, and Mr. Cain, the engineer, very politely invited Mr. Callahan and myself to ride on the engine and he glvo me the post of honor which was the post of danger, right next to the boiler, and Mollit, the fireman opened the trap door and shov eled in more coal, and as we moved off. I Baid, "now Mr. Whitehead, if this old Beelzybub blows up I will be the first man killed," aud shore enough I had hardly said it, when "bang" went the old boiler like a clap of thunder in a clear sky, and the steam come a bulging, and me and Mr. Callahan dident take time to faint nor holler, nor jump, but vie just tumbled out head foremost down a steep bank, and kept going on our all fours and Mr. Callanan ho weighs 250 pounds and fell all over me two or three times and kept going, and we never Btopped until the fence stopped us, for the steam was so thick we couldent see anything, and alter Mr. Callahan broke the fence down he galloped off on his hind legs about fifty yards, and looking back he straightened up and exclaimed, "blood and muriner, are we all kilt but me?" I looked around wildly for the mangled corpses of our friends and for blood and bones and bair, when sudden ly they poked out their heads from the basement window of Winford's mill, about a hundred yards on the other side. They say they were blown there but a nigger told me be saw em a running that way like the bad man was after em. They bad to cross the creek to get there and I noticed they were wet up to their knees, but may be the steam did that for it burnt me through my boots and breeches and all. Well it was just too alarming to be funny and too funny to be alarming, but there was nobody hurt but the flue in the boiler. It blew the iron stopper head out, and I reckon that is going somewhere yet io, the. ethereal fields of illimitable space, " for nobody has been able to find it. I amproperly thankful for my escap? and Father Callaban la thankful too. I know, and we have resolved jointly and severally, all and singular one and inseparable now and forever, never to ride in abullgineagain. I never thought much about it myself, but a friend told me confidentially he heard another man say the whole thing was a put up job on the part of the con doctor and engineer lo kill off one of the reserve corps, so there wouldn't be w many tied-out horses for governor. I i ,?,.,?. ?rv I hnnn tnv friends will let mc ??one and never name my name again in connection with any office, for it alway* brings trouble like the sparks dy upward and no man knows when he is safedj fhis s^bloonsry world. It is a might5 .rood thing for Joe Brown that wc eacap< ITa* weVl as we did, for otherwise 1 1 would have hired Judge Wright ant . Tucd bis little old road for haifa mill.oi , of dollars and broke the concern Jo 1 sepb don't know how high I valut , mTself or bo wouldn't be letting Tm ' SrenU expo? me so or lay plots agains , S peace and safety. Mr. -Turne I w^otildV'tdomethatwayIknow,forth( next day I went to Rome on hts expr?s tSn and I thought I would ride .n th baggage car andlook out of the big doo ?t Sf farms and the river, but h wouldn't let me for he said it was safe further back and my life was too valua ble to be put in peril. I like Mr. Turner, he is always HO kind and considerate. When I mt rich I'm poing to build a railroad myself and put him in charge of it. When I pet rich I'm going to do a heap of big things. When I get rich I'm going to-but there is no use in ro mancing about it right now. I'll wait awhile and take life as it comes-the [rood and thc bad, the bitter and the ?weet, and that reminds mo that a good old man, whose surname is Wall, sent me ten pounds of sugar the other day sugar that he made on hisownfarm in Tel fair county, in the forks of theOconeeaud Octnulgce river-, and made it in twenty four hours from the time the cane was cut in the field. It isa light brown su gar, well crystslized and good enough for anybody. There is no adulteration about that kimi, nnd I dont see why everybody who raises cane can't do the ?ame thing, and our people make enough to supply the .State. Mr. vVall says it is no secret and evervbodv can mako it who wants to. BILI A UT. "Jack." A year or more apo, as tho foreman of oue of tho iron works of this city was crossing tho yard one day ho espied a little skjp of a boy, seemin<rly not over ll years old .seated ou a nig fly-wheel and chewing the end of bitter re?Secisoa. "Who are you V "I'm Jack." " What are you doing here?" "Ilesting." "What do you want?" "A job." Those wero tho inquiries and answers. The boy was pale-faced and ragged, but in his steel-blue eyes tho foreman saw game. And, too, the idea of a waif like him selling out lo baltic tho world touch ed a tender chord in the heart of the man who had boys of his own, and ho set Jack at work in the yard. No one thought the boy would stay a week, and so no one cared to ask where he came from or who he was. Hut ho Btuck. He was hard working and faith ful, and as the weeks went by he gained friends. One day he walked up to the foreman and said : "I want to leam tho trade." "You? Ha! ha! ha! Why, Jack you arc not big enough to handle a cold chisel." "I can whip any 'prentice boy in this shop !" was the earnest declaration. "Just hear him ! Why, any of the lot could turn you wrong side out! When you get big enough to whip the smallest one you come to me fora job." At noon that day Jack walked up lo the biggest apprentice boy in tho shop and said : "Come out doors." "Whatdo you want?" "I'm going to lick you !" "What for?" "Because I want a chance to learn the trade." The two went out, and io sight of twenty witnesses little Jack wou a vic tory. At 1 o'clock ho touched bia cap to the foreman and said : "I've licked your biggest 'prentice and want lo go to work !" Ten minutes later he had become a machinist's apprentice, and if you go in there to-day you find him with creasy hands, oily face and a head full of busi ness ideas. Jack carries the keys to tho drawers where the steam-gauges, safety valves and other trimmings are kept, and he knows the use of every tool, tho work ings of every piece of machinery, and there is a constant call for Jack here and Jack there. Before he is 20 he will be a finished machinist, and before be is 25 ho will be foreman of some great shop. He is quiet, earnest, respectful and observ ing. What he does ts well done. What he is told he never forgets. And here in Detroit are hundreds of boys who complain that there is no chance for them, even when backed by money and influence. They wait and wait and whine and complain, and leave it to waifs like little Jack to call up the game in their BOUIS and walk boldly into a great manufacturing works and say: "I'm here-want a job !"-Detroit Free PrcM. Ob! that all our South Carolina boys bad the pluck of Jack, an_ the courage and industry lo want to make _teu of themselves by the sweat of their brow and honest industry. A Wild Woman who Holds the Fort. Some months ago, in one of the swamps between the mountains of Wes tern North Carolina, great excitement was caused by the discovery of a woman seen sometimes clothed in skins roughly fastened together with withes of live oak. All attempts to catch her were fu tile, as she was very fleet of foot, and escaped into the swamp. After she had been pursued for a month she suddenly disappeared, and it was supposed she had been drowned in ono of the Btagnant pools of the swamp. On Tuesday iast, while some farmers were hunting iu the swamps near here, one .of their number, who strayed away from bis companions, was startled by hearing a quick cry and seeing a tall woman run off swiftly through the undergrowth. He reported the fact, and since then parties have been out every day attempting to capture her. The description given of her indicates that she is the wild womn.n of North Carolina. She has been seen by many huntsmen who describe ber aa being very tall, lithe aod muscular. Her hair, which is long and matted, falls below her waist, and is coal black. It bas been ascertained that her haunts are between Bionkey's and Young's bridges, a large a large portion of which is almost im penetrable. Saturday morning she was surrounded by Joseph Ar tergal. William Sizer and Caleb Tunis, three well known huntsmen. As the former attempted to seize ber she tore up a small sapling, and so fiercely assailed and wounded the men that they were forced to retreat. Other attempts will be made to capture her.

If you want to borrow $5 of a roan, or if yon want to marry bis daughter, don't slipup to bim and haue on to your hat and talk politics and religion and weather, and tell old stale jokeo whereof you can't re member the point, until you worry the old man ioto a nervous irritation.

Go into bis heart, or his pocket book, or both, it amounts to the same thing, like a brindle bull with a cori on bis forehead charging a red merino dress,' eyes on fire, tail up, and the dust a-flying. Then you'll fetch him. Or, possibly he msy fetch you. But never mind ; you'll accomplish something, and show you, aren't afraid to speak what's on your mind. Aud that's a great deal more than you would accomplish by the other method. You need not be cheeky, but you ought to be straightforward. TF.E SOUTHERN P'.OBLEIS. Northern Supremacy In Cotton Usnuuto- i ture Overthrown by Rmauripatton. , Frank WilktiOn in ?Tfw Ju? I Sun. It is not generally known ir tba North ; that the colton manufacture g industry of the Southern States has, though skill ful management aud the imp;ovement of ? every natural advantage, reached a point where it cannot only defy tho compet?- i lion of the products of Northern mills in \ Southern markets, but cow enters the ' marketa of the West, with everv prospect i of driving the products of the New Eng land mills out of thc Mississippi valley, i Tho economic truth that the mills should be surrounded by cotton fields, is, i ?t least, realized by all intelligent naen. Throughout the cotton States, at such points where the water power ia unfail ing and easily improved, or where fuel is cheap and abundant mills are in the course of erection, or if not being built, < the question of building is agitated and subscription papers aro circulated. lam pleased to say that wherever 1 have been i ia the cotton States the men were talk ing of investing Southern capital in the manufacturo ot cotton. The desire is to build up this industry with Southern money, but Northern capital will be wel comed in all portions of tho South if invested in cotton milis, (.corgis ieads the South in thia industry, aa sue I ?-min in all things political or material; but all lue Southern States aro making healthy progrcE-. The danger that threatens the New England manufactur ers is imminout. The signs sharply indi cate that they aro to be forcea into a competition with an established nnd active industry that will fatally cripple them. The advantages the Southern manufacturers hold o V T those of Now England are many ; and any one of them used to the full extent as all will be, will bo sufficient to overcome the Northern industry. Out of the system of African slavery arose a belief in, and a practico of, pay ing low wages io tho South. Free wbite men could not successfully compete in the labor market with black slaves, in endeavoring to do so, it was necessary for them to adopt tho coarse, cheap food used by tho negroes, and to wear cheap clothes; and it was imperatively neces sary for thom to accept the rates of wages that were customary in hiring slaves from their owners. This condition of afluir? produced a race of poor whites io the Southam States. The old slave holders, the aristocratic thieves who meanly lived on the unpaid labors of the black men, speak scornfully of thu race as "crackers ; and they apparently ignore the fact that on their industry tbe fu ture prosperity of the South depends. In no cotton mill did I see negroes at work. Theso poor whites have been schooled by the degrading competition with slaves, forced on them by the old slaveowners, and by being pushed on to tho poor, lean Ianda, to Bubsist on food that Northern mechanics cannot lire on. The close of the war found, these people ttrippod of all their possessions. Being poor and despised, they had great trouble in get? ting a start. They owned poor land. They were discouraged. It waa a hard outlook. OD every aide they met the recently freed blacks, who keeuiy com peted with them in the labor market. Thc blacks obtained control of the mar ket by being better adapted to field work und being able to live cheaper than the poor whiten. This competition, not keen on tho part of the whites, bas established a rate of wages in the Southern States that effectually bara out foreign laborers aud forbids all immigration of Northern laborers into the Southern States. These conditions of Southern labor being true, and they were and are true, the manu facture of cotton was established at an opportune time. He would have been a bold man who prophesied that the overthrow of the slaveholders would suppress the cotton manufacturing industry of New England. This Southera industry that baa aprocg into active competition here during the last decade ia solidly founded on low wages to operatives. In 1880 15,279 operatives were employed in Southern cotton milla. They were paid $2,617,347, or an average of $160 each. During the same year the Massachusetts operatives were paid $2n9, and those of alaine $251 each. The Northern operatives received an average sum of $80 per year more than those employed in the Southern mills. There in doom in these figures. It must be borne in mind that the old system of slavebolding bas a living effect on all questions affecting the material prosperity of the Southern States, and through them on us. We are far from being through with the evil effects cf slavery; indeed in my opinion we are juBt about to realize that the abolition of that system is going to affect us in vari ous ways that our Statesmen did not foresee. We now see the effect of it in the difference in the cost of labor influ encing tbe cotton manufacturing indus try of the north. We will further see, and sharply feel it, in tho rates of rail 1 way transportation in the near future affecting the colrol of the markets for manufactured . lucia. The Southern railways were _uilt by cheap labor. Before the war slaves who were cheaply hired were largely employed on works of internal improvement. Since the' war poorly paid free men and convicto, tho State slaves, have been largely employed. Tbe roads were cheaply built and cheap ly equipped, and they can be cheaply operated. There is no snow to obstruct them in the winter. All men working on these lines are poorly paid. When tbe traffic increases, these roads can carry freight for leas money than any Northern road, where the higher rate of speed hammers tbe rails into splinters, and the comparatively higher rate of wages exhausts the earnings, and the snows of winter eat up the surplus camed in busy times. Already the New England manufac turers of cotton, are clamoring for a different classification of their products, so as to obtain cheaper rates of transpor tation from their mills to Cincinnati, Louisville, St. Louis, Chicago and other distributing points for the Western and Southern trade. Without a cheapening of freight rates OD the Northern trunk lines they foresee tbat the Soulhern manufacturers will speedily drive them from the Western marke ts. The Eastern manufacturers acknowledge tbat they have, ott' coarser goods', lost control of the Southern market, and that they, are threatened with the loss of the Western | market. Tuero ta another point that I sharply affects ibis threatened looa oft market that the Northern manufacturera bave modestly omitted to State, end that ;s that tbe Southern product whiih is now: being introduced into tbe West is a better arlado than any that comea frota New England looms. In all portions of ?bo agricultural West where tbe tillers of the soil nave used Southern ginghams, honestly made and unweighted with the content? of pastepots, they demand that i the retail dealers' keep the superior Southern goods for tale. These goods are more durable And give far better sat isfaction than tba products of New Eng land mills. It is possible tbat the Southern manufacturers may in time lower tho standard of their producta ; sut, being men of intelligence, ii is not probable that they will commit that act sf folly now, when they are encroaching: on the most desirable of all markets and when their mills arc earning from ten to Corty per cent |>er year. In the South the power used to drive machinery is generally water. It is a ?ood and cheap power. Thon? aro no long continued cold .-nells to thickly I I coat the streams with Ice and clog thc runaways and piprs and wheels. Tho supply oi water is compar atively stendy. It is unfailing. Tne mountain:-, have not been denuded of trees, nor has all t'to agricultural land been stripped of forests. The water is stored in the spong-liko soil of the forest lands, and nature deals it out gradually. Wherever there is a very valuable water power lu the cotton States it is I I being improved. Canals to lead thc water tn desirable mill sites are being dug. Notably is this the case at Colum bia, South Carolina. There tho State, 11 using convict labor, is engaged in con structing a large canal that is expected to havo sufficient capacity to supply power to several extensive cotton mills. South Carolina, anxious to attract capi- I j tal to her soil, passed a law exempting all capital invested in manufacturing from taxation for ten year?. The South ern manufacturers buy the cotton they use from first hands.* In many cases they buy from the planters' wagons, UIUB saving ail transportation nhargo*. They also save the cost of compressing the bale?. Tho two charges for compressing and transporting amount, from any Southern point to New England, to over a cent per pound. It is plain that the transportation charges on the cotton from the South to tho Northern mills, and the freight charges on the manufactured product from the North to the South is a Crotcction that gives the Southern mar et to the Southern manufacturer, There is much consolatory talk among the .Northern manufacturers about the Southorn mills not producing the finer qualities of goods. This is undoubtedly true ; but it is also true that tho machin ery tbat produces Ano goods in the North will prodoce equally fino geoda in the South, and the Southern operatives aro fully as intelligent as those of New Eng land. When tho demand ls mado on the Southern manufacturers for a fine quail ty of goods they will surely supply it and supply it cheaper than any Northern mill. lion to Make" a ?cod Wire.

LIGHT, NOT NOISE.-One of the members of the bar in Saratoga, who thoroughly enjoys a good joke, relates the following, and applies the moral to himself: He was counsel in a case before Judge Pratt, referee, and during the progress of the trial became a little bit noisy, as he sometimes does, when the Judge looked up and said to him : "Mr. -, did y ou over hoar of tho man who was lost in tho woods ' during a thunder storm 7" On being answered io the I negative, the Judge continued : A man io attempting to pass through a piece of | woods, lost bis way, and while he waa in that predicament a fearful thunder1 storm came np. The woods grew awful ly dark. The roaring of the wind and the crashing of the thunder were terrific. The man waa frightened and started to | pray, but, not being used to that busi ness, saki: "Oh, ?juro, give ns a little more light, and a little less noise 1" don't mean you, Mrr---," added the Judge, but the audience supposed all the lime that the Judgo did mean him, and now that be think? of it himself be in clin?e to that opinion also. - The murders in the United States last year averaged two a day ; the execu tions two a week; - "llow far js it to Club creek!' asked a traveler of a Dutch woman.

Tho ail nents nf the father and mother are vis ted upon the children not because it is i sourco of plenstire to the Almighty, .nit becnuse it is nature's law. One of nature's rules is that man shall hnvo deep. If it had been intended that man ihould work twenty-four hours out of iwenty-four, nature would have mntle tho mn shine without interruption all the imo. Lights are an iunovntioii.

You may overdraw your ac count, but you always pay back tho last farthing and often givo up the pound of [lesli ; yes, often moro than tho pound. A man may think he cnn steal from nn ture, but he cannot. As 1 said, I do not think a person should bc waked at morn ing, nnd for this reason : When a man fails asleep he is in the shop for repairs,1 as the railroad men say. His frame and all its intricate machinery is being over hauled and made rendy for thc next day's work. Tho wear of tho previous day ?B being repaired. Nature is doing that herself. Hbo knows what tho tired framo needs just aa she knows how to make tho heart throb and send tho blood coursing through tho veins. Then sho takes thnt tired tramo, lays it down on n bed, sur rounds it with the refreshing air of night, covers it with tho soft darkness and lets the man rest. 'Tired nature's sweet re storer, balmy sleep,' visits him, and na the hours wear by bis energies aro re newed, his strength comes back, and finally, when morning breaks and the su' light steals through tho lnttice, ho opens his eyes and is himself again. Or it bo is early to bed he awakes with the cocks crowing. Now who shall go to that man's sido an hour before ho opens his eyes and* Bay to nature, stand aside and let him get up ? Ho has had enough of rest? Well nature will say,'you can take him if you will, but I will charge him with an hour's loss of sleep and I ll collect it out of his bones and nerves and his hairs and eyesight.' You can't cheat me, I'll find property to levy on. The old Masonic law used to bo eight hours for sleep, eight hours for the usual voca tion and eight hours for tho service of (tod. Masonry was operativo then and that law was carried out. Tho day wan divided into three equal parts, and each part was devoted to a specific purpose and ono was sleep and not one bit too much." "What would be tho result if a man were to lose sleep habitually fer a num ber of years?" "You are a reporter?" "Yee." "You work how many hours a day ?' "Fifteen. 1 go to work at twelve ii tho day lime and quit ut three at night.' "How old are you now ?" "Hay twenty-three." "Well, when you are thirty in year you will bo fifty-five in aches and ail menta-older than I am.

Whe that is exhausted ho goes to sleep agai to get more refreshment-moro rest an strength. !f be did not have to grow h would not have to havo his reservo fun and could do on less sleep. A little bab sleeps considerably moro than half ii time, a man can do with one third of h time spent in sleep.

In grown person tbo equilibrium of tl system must be maintained, and in child it must not only be maintaine but an over supply for the growth of t! body must be furnished. After maturi eight hours will do for a man ordinaril and it is said that a student will do i seven. My idea is to give a man all t sleep he wants unless he is a sluggard bis habits. If a man sleeps ten hours mereiy shows that be bas spent physii or mental force enough to require I hours to repair the damago. We doct grow gray prematurely on account oft irregular hours of our sleep. Dr. E in Augusta, thirty years ago had such enormous practico that ho never j enough steep.

JEFF. DAYIg' CAPTURE. iVIiut ii Philadelphia!) Bays-No Feminine Apparel Seen. llhlladel?ihtn 7?mr.?. Kaspar Knobol, tho first man to lay ianda on Jefferson Davis when the latter iva? a fugitive, after tho downfall of the Confederate Government, now lives iu Philadelphia. At the time of the enp uro .Mr. Knobel was a private in tim Fourth Michigan cavalry. His narra ive, which was contributed to the Week y Times of this date, ia as follows : On tho evening of the 7th of May, 1805, tho Fourth .Michigan cavalry regi nent, to which I belonged, was ordered 0 start immediately, without knowing whether or why. we rode on the wholo light, only muLingo short pause to take 1 lunch. We did likewise the fellowing lay, but hnd in f bo evening to take refuge Vom a thuniler-storm in some woods, vhere wo sought to shield ourselves in .ho best possible manner against the in 'leniency of tho weather. The next norning, somewhere between 9 and 10 j'clock, wo met a vehicle, with only three wheels, driven by a colored man. Col. Pritchard bude him halt and answer our luestinus. He told us ho had fallen in with a troop of "Yankees"-it became ivident that he did not know the dificr ?iico between Union and Confederate toldicru-who had taken a wheel from bis wagon, probably to prevent him from revcali ig their flight too quickly, for. as ho said, it was a sure thing that they were trying to escape. Such was thc story of the negro, and now the reason for our being engaged in this exciting chase flashed in upon us that we wero hunting for no less noble a prov than the beaten leader of the Con federacy, on whoso hoad the Government had sot a large price. Our commander, as a matter of course, took notes of this statement and ascertained the exact place where tho meeting had taken place. Then wc wore ordered to hold ourselves in readinesa. A harder work than we had yet dono was impending. Those who bad confidence in themselves and their horses for n, further ride of forty or fifty miles were told to announce themselves. One hundred and twoiity-cight men did so, I IUD un g them, and wo started. Twelve o'clock at night between the Otb and 10th of May wo arrived nt Irwinsville, Irwin county. Ga., where Davis, according to all probability, was to be found. THE CAMP DISCOVERED. In whispered tones we wore ordered to distribute oursolveB in groups of thirteen in all directions and be on the lookout for all suspicion;! persona in tho place. The group to which I belonged, after having riddeu un for nearly a mile, discovered a camp-firo in a southwestern direction, which was near extinction-a very suspi cious circumstance-that made our hearts beat quicker with joyous anticipation. It being, however, yet dark we could do nothing else for tho pr?tent thau impa tiently wait for the dawu of day. The eastern 8ky had scarcely reddened before wo advanced as noiselessly ns possible and almost stumbled over two tents, whose inmates evidently were yot slumbering and who thus could be easily surprised. I wnB foremost in entering ono ot these tents, and, euro enough, found the fugi tive and hts family lying there in pro found Bleep. Jefferson Davis retted iu a gray cos tume on the left side of the tent. As soon as he was awako and bad compre hended the situation he tried, evidently tor tho purpose of concealment, to cover himself with something-I can not at this time tell exactly what-but of resistance he odored none at all. I then hurried to the other tent, where I found s part of the ?.taff of the Confederate leader. Here, also, perfect quietude reigned, easi ly explained by the exertions and excite ment incident to their flight. They were surprised to the extent that I tore away a snddle from under tho bead of one of tho sleeping officers and they all surren dered unconditionally, without offering tho least resistance. FIRED UPON UY FRIENDS. Not until the capture of Davis and his associates had been thus accomplished was tho signal-shot that bad been agreed upon thc previous doy fired, which soon brought Col. Pritchard and bis compan ions to the scene of action. This shot, however, was, to our great astonishment, nt once responded to by a heavy fire from the neighboring woods, which fire we, of course, answered. Dy this skirmish we bad one young man killed, his heart being pierced by a buiiei, and one woun ded. Our astonishment increased great ly when be took one of our assailants a FPrisoner aud discovered that he belonged, ike ourselves, to the Union army. They formed, in fact, a part of the First Wis consin cavalry regiment, and had, like ourselves, arrived the evening before in. tho neighborhood of Ii ?iiiavillo without knowing or having the slightest idea of the presence of Davis, still' less of our own. The victim of thu fatal encoun ter were buried with ! military honors. We had a breakfast, to us, as a matter of course, a very joyous one, in which Jefferson Davis and our other Emonera participated, and then we rode aok to headquarters. THi; COMMON" 8T0RY ?NTRUB. ' Bucb is the true history of the capture of Jefferson Davis, and. as every one can Bee, it differs materially from the common ly accepted story, not alone in respect to. the feminine apparel and the bowie-knife, but also in regard to the short encounter between Union soldiers, which furnished, so to speak, the last victims on the altar of the ambition of the Confederate lead-, er. I have a very interesting ' relic, of this affair in my possession. After hav ing entered the tent of Davis and accom plished hia capture, a traveling bag was found among what little baggage ibero was containing a shirt and three collars, besides children's soiled linen.These' naturally, became interesting spolia for tho soldiers, who distributed them amone themselves, uno or these collara is still in my possession. Tho collar, which, for good and sufficient reisonff,' ut this time has no very olean look, bears this prend inscription : . : "This collar waa worn by Jeffersou Davis at the time hs was made prisonei of war, May 10, 1865. and waa'taken from bim by Kaspar Knobel, private ol Company A, Fourth Regiment, Mich! gau^Cavalry, at Irwinsville, Irwin coun [ - The money lender never neglect) his business.
