Titfow. Found Mr. Davis in bed, very weak and desponding. He bad not slept. Had been kept awake by the heavy surging of the wind through the big trees on the other aide of the moat. Appeared much relieved when I told him the breeze was nothing like a storm, though it blew North-easterly, which was favorable to the Hhip con? taining his family. He expressed great concern lest his wife should hear through newspapers of the eeeno in his cell when he was ironed. Would it be published, did I think? And on my remaining silent--for I knew it had been sent to the newspaper on tire afternoon of its transpiring-he interlaced his fingers across his eyes, and ejaculated : "Oh, my poor wife, my poor girl! How the heart-rending narrative will afflict her!" He remained silent for some mo? ments as I sat beside his bed; and then continued, extending his hand that T might feel his pulse: "I wish she could have been spared this Iqjowledge. There was no necessity for the act. My physical condition rendered it obvious that there could be no iden that fetters were needful to the security of my imprisonment. It was olear, there - fore, that the object was to offer an indignity both to myself and the .-anse I represented-not the less sacred to me because covered with the pall of a military disaster. It was for this reason I resisted, as a duty to my faith, to my countrymen, and to myself. It was for this reason I courted death from the muskets of the guard. The officer of the day prevented that result, and, indeed" bowing to Capt. Titlow-"behaved like ? man of good feeling. But, my poor wife! I can seethe hideous an? nouncement, with its flaming capitals, and cannot but anticipate how much her pride and love will both bo shock? ed. For myself I am resigned, and now only say, ?the Lord reprove them!' The physical incovenience of these things I still feel, (clanking his ankles together slightly under the bed-clothes,) but their sense of humi? liation is gone. Patriots in all ages, to whose memories shrines are now built, have suffered as bad or worse indignities." He thanked me for the breakfast that had been sent him, expressing the hope that I would not let my wife be put to too much trouble making broth and toast for one so helpless and utterly wretched, "I wish, Doctor," said he, "I could compensate you by getting well ; but my case is most unpromising. Your.newspapers," he went on-this with a grim smile-4'should pray for the success of your skill. If you fail, where will their extra editions lie their startling head-lines? My death would only give them fooo for one or two days at most; while my trial- -for I suppose I shall be given some kind \- of trial-would fatten thom for a month's crop of lucrative excite? ment. Finding tho conversation, or rather his monologue, running into a chan? nel more likely to excite than soothe him-the latter being the object for which I was always wiUing to listen during the fifteen or twenty minnies those interviews usually lasted while ^p|<vas seriously ill-I now roso to ike my leave, gently hinting that ho shonld avoid sueh thoughts and topics as much as possible. He took my remark in a wrong sense, as if 1 had been hurt at his saying anything that might cast a reflection on tho justice that would be dealt to him by my Government, or upon the style of journalism in Northern newspapers. But I explain? ed that nothing could be farther from my thoughts; that my counsel waa purely medical, and to divert him from a theme that must re-arouse the cerebral excitement we were seeking to allay. Called again at S p nv same dav. ' Mr. Davis- still very weak, and had j been troubled with several faint, not . exactly faint inp, spell?, his pulse ?n ?dicatiug extreme debility. He said the nights were very tedious and hag? gard. During the day l>e could find employment by reading, (the Bible or prayer-book being seldom ont of his hand while alone,) but during the night, his anxieties about his family returned; and the foot-falls of the I sentries in the room with hum-their very broathing or coughing-conti? nually called back his thoughts, when otherwise, and for a moment, more pleasantly wandering, to his present situation. He had watched the wea? ther all day with intense interest, aud I had been choered tc observe from the slant of the rain that the wind ap ! penrod to continue North-east, so ? that he hoped his family were, by ? this time, iu Savannah. ! Then went on to say that he foared, j after he had l>een removed from tho ! Clyde, his wife must have suffered the annoyance of having her trunks searched - an unnecessary act, it seemed to him, as, of course, if she had anything to couceal, she could have got rid of it on tile passage np? On my remarking, to soothe him, that no such search was probable, he said it could hardly bo otherwise. He had received a suit of heavy i clothes from the propeller: and Gen. Miles, when informing him of ! the fact, had mentioned that there I wero quite a number of suits there, j "And so, Doctor," he went on, j "you think all the miserable details of I my ironing have been placed before j the public? It is not only for the I hurt feelings of my wife und children, \ but for the honor of Americans, that I \ regret it. Mv efforts to conceal from : my wife the knowledge of my suffer ; ings are unavailing; and it were, ! perhaps, better that she should know j the whole truth, as probably less dis ! tressing to her than what may be the , impressions of her fears. Should I i write such a letter to her, however, she would never get it." ! SUNTDAY, May 28.--At ll A. M. this ; morning, was sitting on the porch in I front of my quarters, when Capt. I Frederick Korie, Third Pennsylva ! nia Artillery, who was officer ot' the j day, passed toward the celi of the prisoner, followed by the blacksmith. This told the story, and sent a pleasant professional thrill of pride through my veins. Did not let Mr. Davis seo me then, but retired, thinking it better the prisoner should be left alone, in the first moments of regaining so much of his personal freedom. Called again at 2 P. M. with the officer of the day. Immediately on entering, Mr. Davis rose from his seat, both hands extended, and his eyes filled with tears. He waa evi dontly about to say something, but checked himself; or was cheeked by a rush of emotions, ard sat down upon his bed. I congratulated him on the change observing that my promise of hi> soon feeling better was being fulfilled and ho must now take all tho exercise that was possible for him, for on thii his future health would depend Capt. Korte, too, joined in my con granulations very kindly, and spoke with the frank courtesy of a gentle man and soldier. Recurring to the subject of hi: family, Mr. Davis asked me had I no been called upon to attend Mis Howell, his wife's sister, who hn< been very ill at the time of his quit ting the Clyde. Replied that. Col James, Chief Quartermaster, ha< called at my quarters and requestei j me to visit a sick lady on board tbo vessel; believed it was the lady h referred to, but could not be sure c tho name. Had mentioned the mai ter to Gen. Miles, asking a pass t visit; but ho objected, saying th j orders were to allow no communier j tion with th?; ship, i Mr. Davis exclaimed this was ir human. The ladies had certain! committed no crime, and there wei no longer any prisoners on board th ship when the request was made, L and Mr. Clay having been the hu removed. The lady was very ser ouslv ill, and no officer, no gentli man, no man of Christian or eve I human fooling, would have so acte? Gen. Miles was from Massachuaett ? he had heard, and his action both i ?this and other matters appeared i j harmony with lus origin. It wi i much for Massachusetts to boast th ! one of hersons had been appointe jins jailor; and it was becoming sue a jailor to oppress helpless wornt j and children. * - < PROFESSIONAL SCABS.

( brought to this Department, und de? posited therein, an enrolled r?solu- ! tion of the two houses of Congress, which was thereupon received by the ; Secretary of State and deposited among the rolls of the Department, a copy of which is hereunto annexed. ! Thereupon the Secretary of State, on 1 the 16th inst., in conformity with the proceeding which was adopted by ! him in 1865, in regard to the then j proposed, and afterwards adopted, Congressional amendment of tin?, j United States concerning the prohi- ! bition of slavery, transmitted certi- j Red copies of the annexed resolution ! to the Governors of the se\ eral States, together with a certificate and circu- \ lar letter.

SIR: I have the honor to transmit au attested copy of a resolution of j C-ongress, proposing to the Legisla? tures of the several States a fourteenth article to the Constitution of tho United States. Tho decisions of the aeveral Legislatures upon the subject are required by law to be be commu? nicated to this Department.

The accompanying paper i i tho ? certificate of a true copy of the con- j current resolution proposing an j amendment to the Constitution. In relation as to how tho message \ was received, the Washington corres pondent of the New Vork H'c/?/j says : j The special message of the Pre? sident to Congress, to-day, on tho reconstruction amendment, was re? ceived with great surprise, and caused a considerable flutter in the House. Hi? views as to the course of Congi'ess in not submitting tho amendment to ! him for his approval, and his terse expression on the way tho great ques? tion of representation has been treated by tho law-njaking powor, to say nothing of his manifest intimations of tho unconstitutionality of the pro? posed amendment, will not go far, in tho opinion of tho radicals, to heal tho breach between the President and Congress, notwithstanding ?di Mr. j Raymond's glib talk about a "reeon- I eilintion." "Bayonets next," said al leading radical, after thc reading of [ the message was finished. The correspondent of the News says: ?Che President fired off ono of his ! big guns, to-day. His message to j Congress, 'giving his reason for di- j reefing Mr. Seward to transmit the ' constitutional amendment to the Go- ! vernors of the respective States, was 1 entirely unexpected by the radien 's. I who are greatly worried by it. e President's action in this matter is j regarded by his friends hero sus a. master-piece of statesmanship, and as tho only proper course to be taken under the circumstances. Tho mes? sage is intendod to bc an emphatic condemnation of tho amendment, and it wUl bo so understood everywhere. Senator Cowan, a few days ago, in a. speech in the United States Senate, gave this definition of loyalty, which : is complete: "Loyalty means obedi? ence to the Constitution and laws."' Wo wish he had the making of onr political dictionary The marriage of Miss Sarah Jones, "J a New England school-marm, in Mo? bile, to a wealthy nigger named Samuel Jackson, will undoubtedly j have a stimulating effect upon the , New England school-marm element. I At the present moment, Mrs. Sarah 1 Jones Jackson is probably the object of tho great envy of all, or nearly all, ' thc spinsters East of the Green Moun? tains. The desire for position South as school-marms will at once rise to fever heat. As for tho general public, wo think it will be undecided as t<> whether Jackson is moro to bo pitied for get? ting the school-marm than thesehool tnarm is to bo congratulated in get? ting tho darkey.
