THE ILLUSTRIOUS PRISONER AT FORTRESS MONROE. 111?. Conversation about llichmontl and tier Citizens-Admirable) oisscrta?ion on Woman-President Johnson-Th c Policy of Conciliation-Stonewall ?Tackson-Secession not Tree? son-Keligtous Character of Dil-. Iliivln. Dr. CRAVEN has done the cause of humanity a service, anti afforded the world a satis faction in his narrativo of President DAVIS' prison life. We make a few extracts from this book-relating more to the sayings of Mr. DAVIS than his suffer ings-for tho entertainment of our readers. They will be found deeply interesting and replete with practical good sense, philanthropy and wisdom. First, we lay before our reader MB. DAVIS' REMARK? ABOOT RICHMOND-HIS SENTI MENTS TOWARDS DER CITIZENS. SEPTEMBER 11.-Called on Mr. Davis. Told him, as he was well, I was about starting that dav for Richmond, to be gone about a week, and would bo happy to carry any social messages he might wisli to Bond any friends iu that city. Mr. Davis aBked mo to call upon his former pastor, the Rev, Dr. Minnigerode, rector of St. Paul's ; also, upon other friouds, giving mo their names, who would be glad to receive me. Ho requested rae to make his alllictions in prison appear as light as possi ble, for they had sufficient troublbs of their own without borrowing moro from his misfortunes. He also said Richmond had been a very beautiful oitv in lim days nona hy. buIVhat With yearB of military operations and the fire, he feared its ap pearance must now be rudely altered. "Oh, tho anxious moments I have spent in that city !" ex claimed Mr. Davis. "Carea that none can under stand who havo not been called to fill the first po sitions of responsibility in revolutionary times. What hopes and fears, tried by enemies without and. murmurera or mutineers -within, though of tho latter there were comparatively few. Taking all they suffered in view, my dear people stood firm and upheld my hands with a devotion and una nimity for which I can never be too grateful. God ?bless them, one and all, and grant them tho sus taining influence of His grace." Mr. Davis spoke the last sontenco with groat fervor, his thiu hands clasped and tears brim ming up in his eyes, though not allowod to run over. It was in auch momonts that his face, though not handsome, judged by any artistic standard, became very striking and noble in the delicate expression of its intellectual power and fervor. SEPTEMBER 22-Called on Mr. Davis for the first time since returning from Richmond. Mi*. Davis inquired about frionds in Richmond. asking, with a smile, was ho still remembered there, or whether it had been found convenient to erase his name from the tablets of memory ? As sured him that hie friends appeared most solici tous for his welfare, especially the ladies, who had overwhelmed my wife with attentions during our brief visit, as the only means of expressing their gratitude for any alleviations of his situation which mv duty as his medical attendant had im EOBod. Told him the destruction from the fire ad been great, hut in leas than two years the city would havo retrieved a prosperity not only equalling, but surpassing any it had yet known. Overlooking Richmond from the top of Gamble's Hil), tho clamor of trowels and hammers every where resounded beneath mo, and it seemed Uko an enormous beo-hive, so incessant was the in dustry. Mentioned that General Terry, my old commander, had kindly placed the carriage of Mr. Davis at my disposal during the visit, and that I had visited, with much interest, and not without sympathy, tho beautiful ground of Hollywood Cemetery, where General J. E. B. Stuart and so many other distinguished officors of tho lato Southern army now lie in graves, not nameless indeed, but as yet with no enduring monuments. Mr. DaviB laughed about his carriago, and said that sinco some "Yankee" had to ride in it, ho wonld prefer my doing so to another. During the war they had no timo to build monuments to the illustrious doad-scarcely time enough or means enough to take caro of tho wounded living. If their causo had been successful, the gratitu*" ? of a now nation would havo built splendid m. aso lenms and trophies to those who had lost their lives in founding it; but with the failure of the causo this duty of piety and gratitude must now devolve on private associations of patriotic genti tudo. Gon. Jaokson ("Stonewall") appeared to havo some lively presontimont of death shortly before its oconrronco, and had aaked that his only monument might be a battle-flag hoistod over his grave until euch time as tho cause for which ho fought was crowned with_yictory and secure from aggression. Speaking of a message of condolence and cheer tho Rev. Dr. Minnigorodo had sent him. Mr. Da vis spoke in warm terms of tho loaming, zeal, eloquoncc, fidelity and Christian coin-ago of that gontleman. General Loo had occupied a pew in tho same church, and, unless when absent una voidably in the public service, was one of tho most regular and devout attendants. Gonoral Loo was undoubtedly ono of tho greatest soldiers of the ago, if not the very greatest of this or any other country; but had he drawn his sword on the Fed eral sido, must have been romitted to obscurity under our system, in the first six months of the war. Nothing, howevor, shook tho confidence of military men competent to form a just opinion in his superior qualifications for high command, and his careor had nobly vindicated the calm cstimato of professional Judgment. SEPTEMBER 23-Recurring to my Richmond visit, Mr. Davis mado many minuto inquiries rol ativo to former frionds; tho apparent condition of the trades-peoplo in regard to prosperity; tho so cial relations, if any wero allowed, between tho occupying army anti the inhabitants. He said his people, having dono all their duty in tho war bad now tho two duties of forgott'ng the past and preparing to accept tho future. Ono of their great troubles in agricultural districts must ho the difficulty of getting draft animals-horses, mules and oxon having been so nearly swept away by the war. With nothing to report in tho past hut ita failure, tbo failure and ita conscquoncos should bo accepted in good faith aud without a murmur. Tho futuro ia always under tho control of resoluto mon; ami with industry and tho influx of North ern and European capital-which must Boon bo tempted by the pro-abundant natural resources in tho South-thero could Lo no reason why national prosperity should not bo fully re-established Mith in half a dozen yoara; that is, if tho Federal Gov ernment pursued a wiso and genorous course, allaying irritation and diverting tbo minds of tho ppopla from their unsuccessful B-ritices, by pointing out and encouraging tbo splendid rewards of inda?try, The following oxtract is alike remarkabi- for its truth and beauly: FEMALE LECTUUEttS-AND THE TllUE MISSION OF WoMAN. Mr. Davis roforted to some remark of Miss Anns Dickiuson, hostile to himself, which ho had seen in tho papers; also recalling that ho had beard of tho 1 tdy _ honoring Fort Mooroo with lier proseneo soino six weeks before-ho Biipposed to derivo her inspiration from au actual view of his casemate, or possibly to catch a secret viow of him through the admiring favor of Gen. Miles, or some smitten ollicor. Ho had noticed that ?Miss Dickinson had figured largely upon tho lecturing stsco, and had undeniable talent, but tho talent lather of a Mienad or Pythoness than most of the mild virgins who worshipped Vesta and kept the tires of faith and charity forever burning on ker pine altars. Woman's appoaranco in the political arena waa a deplorablo departure from tho golden path which nature had marked out for hor. Tho malo animal was endowed with moro than sufli cicnt belligoroncy for all purposos of healthy agi tation; and woman's part in the social economy as abo baa bcou mado beautiful and gontlc, should bo to eootho asperities rather than deepen and mako moro rough the cross-tracka ploughod in tho road of lifo by the diverging passions and opinions of mon. It waa a, revolutionary ago : transportations and uoveltiea woro tho fancies of the day, and woman on political rostrum was only an outcropping of the disorganized and disorgan izing idcaa now in control ol' tho popular ininti. Tho clamor of certain classes of woman for ad mission to the professions and employments heretofore engrossed by men was another phase of the samo malady. They demanded to bo mado self-supporting, forgetful that their most tender charm and safest armor lay iu helplessness. Woman's ollico embraced all tho sweetest aud holiest dutiea of ?ufl'eriug humanity. Hor true altar is the happy fireside, not tho forum with ita foul breath and distracting clamors. Physi cally nuable to dei'oud themselves from injury or insult, their weakness is a claim which the man must he utterly baso who disregards. Tho highes*, test of civilization ia the deference paid to women. They aro like tho beau tiful vines of tho South; wiudiug around the rugged forest trees and clothing them with beau ty; hut lot them attempt living apart from this rapport, and they will soon trail along tho ground in muddy and trampled impurity. While woman depends on man for overything, man's love accepts, and his generosity can never do enough to dischargo the delicious and sacred obligations; but lot womau enter into the ruder employment! of life as man's rival, and she passes herself as a slave under those inexorable lawn of trade which aro without BOX or aentimont. Perhaps in one branch of medicine there might appear a fitness in hor claim to matriculation; but even ia that branch circumstances of sudden difficulty and danger were of overy-day occurrence, requiring the steadier nerves, cooler juJgment, and quicker action of a medical man to deal with. If asked for bia Bubkroest idoal of what women ehould be in timo of war, ho would point to the dear women of his people ae ho had seen them during the recout Btruggle. The Spartan nother eent forth her boy, bid ding him return with honor, either carry 1 g his shield or on it. The women of the South Bent forth their Bona, directing them to return with victory; to return with wounds disabling thom from further aervice. or never to return at all. All thoy had was llung into the contest boauty, grace, passion, ornament; the excellent frivolities so dear to the sex were cast aside; their songs, if thoy had any to sing, were patriotic; their trinkets were flung into the public crucible; thocarpet treta tlicir__ora wero portion? .out as blankets to tho suffering soldiers of their cause; women bred to over?* refinement of luxury woro homespuns made hy their own hands; when ma terials for an army balloon woro wanted, the richest Bilk dre&BCs were eent io, and thero was only competition to secure their acceptance. AB nurses of the sick, as encouragera and provider^ for the combatants, as angels of chanty and meroy adopting as their own all children mado orphans in defenoo of their homos, as patient and beautiful household dei ties, accepting every sacrifico with unconcern, and lightening the burdons of war by every art, blandishment, and labor to their sph?re, the" dear women of his people deserved to take rank with the highest heroines of the grandest days of tho groatest countries. Talking further upon woman, Mr. Davis stated hia belief that when womon provod unfaithful to their marriage VOWB it will io almost overy instance be found the husband's fault. Men throw their wives, or allow them to bo thrown, into the companionship of male asso ciates whom they know to be dissolute ; neglect thom while the illicit lover pays every attention, aud theH grow angry at tho result of their own criminal folly. It ia eithor tina, or that tho man has chosen, without sufficient inquiry, a woman whose unfltncBB for the relations of wife might havo been roadily ascertained. No woman will err if treated properly by a husband worthy of tho name ; but she ia tho weaker vessel, and must bo protected. PBESIDBNT JOHNSON. As Mr. Davis waa speaking of the Senate, asked him his opinion of President Johnson, to which tor some momenta ho mado no reply apparently hesitating whether to speak on the subject or not. At length he said of President Johnson he know no moro than the papers told overy one; but of Mr. Johnson, when in tho Senate, he would aa freely spoak as of any other member. Thero wero, of course, differences between them, more especially just provious to the retirement of the Southern representatives from Congroas. The position of Mr. Johnson with bia associates of the South had nover been pleasant; not from any fault or .superciliousness on their aide, hut solely dne to the intense, almost morbidly, sensitive pride of Mr. Johnson. Sitting with associates, manv of whom he knew pretended to aristocracy, "Mr. Johnson aeemod to sot up hoforo his own mind, and to keep ever present with him, his democratic or plebeian origin aa a bar to warm social rela tions. This pride-for it was tho pride of hav ing no pride-his associates long struggled to overcome, but without success. They respected Mr. Johnson's abilities, integrity, and groatly original force of character, out nothing could make him bo or soem to wish to feel at home in their society. Some casual word dropped in dobato, though uttered without a thought of his existence, would seem to wound bim to the quick, and again he would shrink back into the self-imposed isolation of hia earlier and humbler life, as if to gain strength from touching his mother earth. In a word, whilo other members of. the Sonate were democrats in theory or aa their political faith, Mr. Johnson was a democrat of pride, conviction and self-assertion-a mau of the pooplo, who not only desired no higher grade of classification, but could not bo forced into its accept anco or re tention when friendly efforts wero mado to that end. Ho was an immenso worker and student, but always in tho practicalities of lifo, little in tho graces of literature His habits woro marked by temperance, industry, courago and unswerv ing peraovoronco ; also, by inveterate prejudices or preconceptions on certain points, and these no arguments could shake. I His faith in tho judgment of the people waa un limited, and to their d?cisions ho was always rea dy to submit. One of tho people hy birth, he re mained ?o by conviction, continually recurring to his origin, though ho was by no means the only ?senator o? the South in uko circumstances. Mr. Davis mentioned Aaron V. Brown, of Mississippi, who had been Postmaatcr-Gonoral under Presi dent Buchanan, and several others who were of liko democratic education with Mr. Johnson, hut who Becraed to forget, and in regard to whom it was forgotton by their associates, that thoy had ever hold lees social rank than that to which Jtheir talents and industry had raised them. Of Mr. Johnson's character, justice was an eminent fea turo, though not uncoupled, aa true justice raro ly fails to be, with kindliness and generosity. Ho was eminently faithful to his word, and possessed a courago which took tho form of angry resist ance if urged to do or not to do anythingwhich might clash with hie convictions of duty. Ho was indifforent to money, and carolosB of praiso or cenBure when satisfied of tho nocossity of any line of action. Dut for hi? decided action against secession ho woukl probably havo boon given the place of Mr. Stephens ou tho Prosiilontial ticket of tho Confederacy. Mr. Stephens, indeed, held tho samo attitude up to the last momottt; but on the secession of hisStato had two alter, at ives ol' titato or Federal "treason," as it was called, pre sented, and chose the latter. TnE I'OLICV OF CONCILIATION. In the bettor days of tho Roman empire, whon its possessions increased, and conquered coun tries catno in a fow years t?i hu integral and evan zealous members of tho impoli?! system, it was tho policy of conciliation, following that of mili tary conquest, which achieved Mieiiositu.l results. Certain laws and restrictions of the Imperial Gov ernment wcro imposed-so much annual tribute, so nany legions to our military levies, and obc diouco to all such lu wa of the oentral government as mav bo issued for your control. But within theso line?, and with these* points concodo?., tho empire strove in all minor and domestic matten to conform in so far as might he possible to tlio former habits, customs, and laws of tito people absorbed, and the independent governments su perseded. Evou their peculiarities ol' morals, manners, and religious views "?vero studio?! and rospoctcd when not conflicting willi tho necessities of tho empire; their leading mon wero justly troatcd, and no efforts wero spared to make the uew order of things sit lightly at first, and oven pleasantly in a fow years, on the necks of the sub jugated provinces. Genoroaity ia tho true policy, both of nations and indivii.uala. "There ia that maketh himself rich, yet bath nothing; thero Is that maketh himself poor, yot hath grout riches." While my peoplo aro held as conquered subjects, thoy must he to you a continued sourco ol' ex ponse and danger-a country penned together with bayonets. Lot the past bo expunged, if you please; we havo nothing to bluah for iu it, and nothing to rc?rot but failuro. The nocoeaitieB of the Northern Treasury and public debt. Mr. Davis thought, "would, boforo long, compels ua to do usticc to this scctiou." STONEWALL JACKSON. Of Stonewall Jackson, Mr. Davis spoko with tho utmost tenderness and somo touch of reverential feeling, bearing witness to his earnest and pathetic piety, bia singleness of aim, his immense energy as an oxoculivo officer, and tho loyalty of his nature, making obedience tho first of nil duties. "Ile roso every morning at threo." said Mr. Davis, "performed his dovotiona for half an hour, and then went booming along at the bend of his command, which came to be called 'Jack son's foot cavalry,' from tho velocity of their movements. Ho had the faculty, or rather gift, of excitiug and holding tho lovo and confidence of bia men to an uubouuded degree, even though the character of hi-s campaigning imposed on thom moro hardships than any other troops in' tho service Good soldiers caro not for their individual sacrifices when adequate results can bo shown; and thoso Goueral Jackson nover lacked. Hard fighting, hard marching, hard fare, tho strictost discipline-nil these men will bear if visibly approaching the goal of their hopes. Thoy want to got dono with the war, back to their bornes and families; and their instinct soon teaches thom which com mander is pursuing the right means to accomplish these results. Jackson was a singularly ungainly man on horseback, and had many peculiarities of temper, amounting to violent idiosyncrasies; but everything in his nature, though hore and there uncouth, was noble. Even in the heat of action, when moBt exposed, ho might bo seen throwing np his hands in prayer. For glory ho livod long enough," continued Mr. Davis with much omo tion, "and if this result had to come, it was tho Divine mercy that removed him. Ho fell like the eagle, his own feather on tho Bhaft that was drip ping with his life-blood. In his death the Confed eracy lost an eye and an arm, our onlv consolation being that the final summons could havo reaohed no soldier more prepared to accept it joyfully. Jackson was not of a sanguino turn, always pri vately anticipating the worst, that the better might be more welcome." SECESSION NOT TREASON. Mr. Davis said it was contrary to reason and the law of nations to treat as a rebellion or law loss riot a movement which had boon tho deliber ate action of anentiro peoplo through their duly organized State Governments. To talk of treason in the case of the South was to oppose an arbi trary epithet against the authority of all writers on international law. Vattel deduces from his study of all former precedent- and all subsequent intornational jurists have agreed with him-that whon a nation separates into two parts, each claiming independence, and both or either setting up a new government, their quarrel, should it come to trial by arms or by diplomacy, shall be rogarded and settled precisely as though it were a difference botwoen two sep?ralo nations, which the divided sections, de J'aclo, havo become. Each must observe the law's of war iu the treat ment of captives taken in battle, and such nego tiations as may from time to time arise shall be conducted as between indopendont and sovereign Powers. More riots, or conspiracies for lawless objects, in which only limited fractions of a people aro irregularly engaged, may be properly treated as treason, and punished as tho public good may require, but Edmund Burke had exhausted argu ment on tho subject, in bia memorable phrase, applied to the first American movement for inde pendence: "I know not how an indictment against a wholo people shall be framed." RELIGIOUS PRASE OF MR. DAVIS* CBARACTEB. There was no affection of devoulness or asceti cism in my patient ; but every opportunity I had of seeing him convinced me moro deoply of his sincere religious convictions. He was fond of re ferring to passages of Scripture, comparing text with text, dwelling on the divine boauty of the imagery aDd tho wonderful adaptation of the whole to every conceivable phase and stage of human lifo. Nothing that any man's individual experience, however strange, could bring home to 'him, but had boon previously forotold and de scribed, with its proper lesson or promise of hope, in the sacred volume. It was tho only absolute wisdom reaching all varieties of exietonco, because comprehending the whole ; and bosido its inspired universal knowledgo all tho learning of humanity was but foolishness. Tho Psalms wore his favorite portion of the Word, and had always been. Evidenco of thoir divino origin was inhe rent in their text. Only an intelligence that held the life-threads of the entire human family could have thus pealod forth in a single cry every wish, joy, tear, exultation, hope, passion, and sorrow of the human heart. There were moments, while speaking on religious subjects, in which Mr. Davis impressed me moro than any professor of Chris tianity I had ever heard. There was a vital earnestness in his discourse ; a clear, almost pas sionate grasp in his faith ; and the thought would frequently recur that a belief eapablo of consoling such sorrows as his, possessed, and thereby evi denced, a reality, a suhstanco, which no sophistry of tho iufida) could discredit. To this phaso of the prisoner's character I have heretofore rather avoided calling attention for Boveral reasons, prominont of which, though an unworthy one, was this : My knowledge that many, if not a majority, of my readers would ap proach the character of Mr. Davis with a precon ception of dislike and distrust, and a consequent fear that an earlier forcing on their attention of this phaso of his character, before their opinion had been modified by such glimpses as are herein given, might only challenge a base and false im putation of hypocrisy against one than whom, in my judgment, no moro devout exemplar ot Chris tian faith, and its value as a consolation, now lives, whatever may havo been his political crimes or errors. *,?? AFFAIRS IN MEXICO.-Advices from Mexico oon firm tho previous reports of tho successes and steady advance of the Liberal forces. The Im perials have lost most of tho cities in tho interior, and the funds of Maximilian aro said to be very low. An impression prevails that tho Empiro can not last very long. European troops, however, continuo to arrrre. The last stoamor brought eight hundred, but of what nationality is not stated. The work on tho railroad botween Vora Cruz and Mexico has been suspended, which tonda to confirm the roports of the dopressod state of affairs. mm* The Oxford (Miss.) Falcon says that a tax as sessor of a neighboring county reports 127 negro babies born since the present Congress has been in session-78 of tho number aro named Thad. StevenB. The assessor asked tho mothers the reason for naming tholr babies that name, and they universally roplied that they bad been told that thero was a great man in Congress by that name whoso wife is a negro woman.
