EX-PBE8IDEWT DAVIS.
Anything that relates to the Ex?President
of the lato Confederate States must
possess an untiring interest to the people
of these States. We have, in order to gratify,
as far as possible, this commendable
interest, published nearly all concerning
the fallen chieftain that we have come
acoss in our daily gleanings. From Dr.
Draven's book we published copious extracts.
Below we give an interesting letto
the New York Times, which gives an~
other and a very different view of Mr. D?
via' "prison life," from that given by Dr.
Craven. With these conflicting statements
it is difficult to form any correct
idea of the conditions or movements of the
ex-President. We can only read them
and draw our own conclusions, merely
hoping that it will not be long ere justice
vrill "open wide bis prison doors" aud bid
the captive go free. Here is the article
from the Times:
Richmond, Va., Wednesday, July 11.?
Nothing is morediffioult than for the news
paper correspondent to gain even a transient
view of the inner life at Fortress Monroe,
as the Goveroment has issued an imperative
order for the exclusion of this class
from the precincts of the Fortress.
The nublic must hear about the nriaoner
at Fortress MoDroe , they expect it, and
.demand it at our bands, and not being able
ourselves to Bee Jefferson Davis, we are driTen
to the necessity of deriving our knowledge
of bim from tbose who bave the privilege.
A gentleman of tbis city, of the
bigbest standing and character, has recently
had a very extended interview with Davie,
having spent an entire day wilh him in
the Fort, and what I have to say of the
prisoner is derived from this entirely trustworthy
saurce;.
THE J?RE8SNT CONDITION
,of Davis is far from healthy. Hehap.that
^culiar fallowness that i3 the iueviL^.lo
jesuk ol long confinement, and his nervous
irritability under restraint has natuially
.enough taken off and keeps off what little
jflosh be ever had. He has no appetite, aod
it was noted the other day as a remarkable
.event, that be ate the whole of a crab at
.one tneaJ. The constitution of the man
.seems gone, and Dr. Cooper said as much
when, being asked why be did not build
.up his patient prompty, he replied that
l?iere was nothing to build on. Whether
.this state of affairs is a result of his confinement
is at least problematical. A man
.of seriously impaired, he ?lth for years before
he was taken to the Fortress, and a
.sufferer from nervous disease, it is the prevalent
opinion that the ruin that came up,od
bis ambition would bavo brought bim
Jo precisely the same physical condition
without any confinement at all. He was
.not the man to sneer it away, like Benjamin
; or work it away like Lee and JohnMon;
or philosophise it away, like Stephens.
Whatever might have been, the
.plain, simples truth is tbat Jefferson J>avia
suffering at Fortress Monroo from the
fame nervous diseas to which he was for
years constantly subject at Richmond and
at Washington.
The 'glaring light* it in the abjoining
joom on a small table in its centre. Tbe
bed is thus in the shadow, and-the direct
light does not reack Davis at all; and it is
only after it hda traversed the half of one
large room, tbe whole of another, and been
reflected back from the, opposite plain white
jrall of bis room, that it has any power to
annoy tbe prisoner. His].eyes are very
yeek, aod tbe light doubtless does annoy
bim more than it-would any man living;
bnt General Miles, conceiving it his duty
to have'the prisoner always in sight of tbe
sentinels, it is difficult to imagine any plan
by wbiob he oan make the light less offensive
than it is nnder the present arrange
meat; bat.the more sensible course undoubtedly
would b& to dispense with sentinels
altogether, and leave Davis at night,
M at day, to bis parole.
. Mr. Davi? does not complain of being
disturbed by the noise of the sentinels.
, By day, Mr. Davis is at entire liberty under
parole within the limits of tjifi -fortress,
and generally spends the most of his time
in the apartment of his ivife, who has bad
one of the casemates assigned her; He is
at liberty to receive any books or pspers
that anybody Chooses to'sena-bim, and In

Le J^mw mid bo (a to Winy
he faM tttfd enough to i^ow tb?t
he ho ro?d the work with derided imp*-%
tienco and indignation. Ho thinks it a
grosa breach of confidence, in the first
place, lor Dr. Craven to have written anj
book about him at all, as all the informa
tion be pretends to give was derived from
the confidential and generally considered
eacred relation of physician and patient.
Having written a book under these circum
stances, Mr. Davie thinks he was doubly
bound to adhere strictly to truth. Generally,
Mr. Davis denies the accuracy of every
reported conversation in the book, but
as throwing light upon hia thoughts anil
feelings, I specify a few of the points he
made.
Ha prow most inrlicnAnt narhnna over
the fact that Craven puts into his mouth
on several occasions the expression, "Me
and my people," which he says be never
used at any time or upon a..y occasion, the
form of words used when he had occasion
to refer to himself and the Southern people
being, "Me and our people." In commenting
upon this point, Davis remarked
that whatever he might bave been, be
bad never been egotistical.
Mr. Davis repudates in toto the Craven
account of the manacling scene, including
the mock beroio speeches Craven represme
to bave been made on both sides. Bis ac
count la 10 me enect inut Mien the tile ot
soldiers entered bis room, and the sergeaoi.
had stated in a few direct words the busi
neB? upon which they had come, he (Davis)
quietly and briefly snid he must resent it
to the extent of his power as an insult to
'me and our people.' With the view only
of entering this forcible protect, and with
no intent of engaging in a childish struggle
with the soldiers, he struck ut the man
nearest him, when toe soldiers brought their
arms promptly to tbe position of 'cliaige
bayonets.' Sergeant , however, instantly
ordered, 'shoulder arms,' snd bad
the prisoner seized and placed upon tbe
bed. When there, Davis struggled for a
moment with ibe tame intent, but for a
moment, and then submitted without remark
to what he knew lie could not avoid.
The Bergeant (who was the only 'officer
present), Mr. Davis Bays, performed his
duty as a soldier would do, made no excuse
for it, and did not plead orders. In
short, all the details of this scene in the
Craven book, including trie exclamation by
Mr. Davis, 'On, the trhamel oh, the shame!'
are upon the authority of the prisoner himself,
merely figments of the Doctor's imagination.
Air. D ivis is particularly indignant over
the fact that he is made to endorse Gener
al Hunter a9 a 'Christian and patriotand
he says, truly enough, that it would have
been grotesquely inconsistent for him to
have done anything of the kind after having,
as President of the Confederacy, put
HuDter under the baii as a robber. All
that he ever said to Craven on the 6ubject
was, that Hunter was a fanatic, and be
gave as his reason for the opinio#, that he
bad on two occasions, Rome years ag.-, at
TT.? 4?i? 3 L
tcuuvu uuuuiriD a a uei, ana luat Doth
time?, when all was in readiness for tbe
word to be given, Hunter knelt down and
prayed, riaiug and firing at the word.
Mr. Davis said that be never ottered a
word upon tbe question of reconstruction
until May last, five months after Dr. Crayen
had lett the fort. Then he did, at tbe
request of some of tbe officers of tbe fort,
express lira views, and it is this con vervation
that is attempted to be givea in the book,
and is there represented as having baen
beld with Dr. Craven himself. Wiib tbe
report made of his remarks, Mr. Davis does
not find much fault, except that when
speakiDg of tbe folly of requiring people
to take oaths, be illustrated it by taying
that when tbe Fuoiiiwo T -? ??
0-? - ? M>H*V Mta TT nao I u
force, tbe New England members coming
to tbe bars of th? Houses of Congress to
iwear support to tbe Constitution and the
laws, always made a mental reservation
against the Fugitive Slave Law. This illustration,
which be seems to. consider of
great weight, is omitted.
Upon one point Mr. Davis rices to the
dignity of justice, and puts to tbe blush
those of bis self constituted advocates wbo
are continually loading Geneial Miles with
t- e most opprobrious epethets. Mr. Da?
vis bas notie of these for the man whom
fate has made bis jailor, but simnlr savs
that'to bim General Mile* is an ebigma.
He aayshtt knows Miles to be a brave man
and a good soldier, and is loth Jto believe
that bfa coarse , toward him (Daru) baa
baa been pursued only for Che purpose _ of
adding to his, phyaipal discomforts, or of
putting1 indignity upon bias, and ptofcrs to
believe that themen whom be koowa to be
a good soldier has puraued from' a sense of
duty. Further, Hr. Darn admits that
> % i -
<1 " * *
when lie has made complaint ol anything
in his treatment, General Miles lias rectified
it ; and the prisoner's only furtlior ground i
of dissatisfaction was, that it was not dono
at once, the General taking his own time I
to work the reform. <
PROCLAMATION OF AO STRIA--BATTLE OF
8AIJ0WA.
The following proclamation has been is- i
sued by the Emperor Francis Joseph:
To My Peoples : The heavy misfor? ,
tune which has befallen tny army of the
North, notwithstanding its heroic resistance
to the enemy, the increased dangers thereby
menacing the fatherland, the calamities
of war with which my beloved kingdom of
Doncmia is oeing aesoiaied, which threaten
other parts of iny empire, and the painful
and irreparable losses sustained by so
many thousands of families amo"?
subjects, have moved to its utmost
my heart, which beats with ao warm aud
fatherly a feeling for the good of my peoples.
But the reliance which I expressed
in my manifesto of the 17th of June?a
reliance od your unalterable and faithful
devotion and readiness for any self-sacrifice?a
reliance on the courage of my
army, which oven misfortune cannot subdue?a
reliance upon God and my good
sacred right?this has not wavered for a
single iustant. 1 have addressed mvuelf to
.* 7 1
the Emperor of the French respecting his
good ofiiceB for bringing about an armistice
with Italy. Not merely did the Emperor
respond to my demand, but with the
noble intention of preventing any further
bloodshed, he even, of bisownacord, offered
to mediate with Pru&sia for a suspension
of hostilities and for opening negotiations
for peace. Thin offer I have accepted. I
am prepared to make peace upon honorable
conditions, iu order to put au end to the
bloodshed and ravages of war. But I
would never sanction a treaty of peace by
which the fundamental conditions of Austria's
position as a great power would be
shaken. Sooner than that this should be
the ease, I am resolved to carry on the war
to the utmost extremity, and in this I am
sure of my peoplu's approval. All available
troops are Neitig concentrated, aud
the gaps in the ranks of the army are
being filled up by the conscription which
ban be?n ordered, and tlia large enrolment
of volunteers called to aim* by the newly
awaked spirit of patriotism. Austria has
bten severely visited by misfortune, but
ebe is not humiliated or bowed down.
My peoples, have confidence in your
Emperor. The peoples of Austria have
never 6hown themselves greater than in
misfortune. I will follow the example of
my forefathers, and will lead you on with
determination, perseverance, and unshaken
confidence in God.
FRANCIS JOSEPH.
Given at my residence in the capital a
Vienna, this*10th day of July, 1860.
The Times remarks':
We have never read sadder words than
rtbo?n which the Emperor of Austria addresses
to his people. The reverses of his
army, the occupation of his cnpital, have
(fllllUOb UVVT V>U ut?nu UJlilt ^lUUU nuu Willi""
dent spirit. Knowing what manner of
man Francis Jo-eph is by nature, wo may
judge of the humiliation he must have felt
in doing what he has done, and saying <
what he has said.
The London Timet" correspondent, writing
from the Prussian headquarters, gives '
a long description of the great battle of
Ladowa. We have only space for bia account
of the rout of the Aurtrians and
the scenes niter the battle:
/\ - ?
un gaming tne top ot tbe Lipa slopes, >
the retreatilng battalions of tbe Austrians
were seen running across a hollow in the
ground, which lies' between Lipa and the i
village of Streselits, which lies about two
railepjfurther South. Tbe,Pru8sian Artillery
baited on tbe summit of the Lipa bill and
fired sheila rapidly, which burst with terrible
precision over tbe heads of tbe fugitives.
The cavalry flew forward in pursuit,
but the Prince, after leading a abort 1
way, Dad to go to spperintend the general
movement, for the Austrian batteries bad
takeD post in tb* Ttreeelitt ridge, and were
firing bear ily.Bgainflt the pursuing Prussians.
Then the cavalry got out of hand, i
and by email detachment* rushed on the
Austrian battalions,sbut these, though retreating
fast, were not-routed, and in many
inst&pees beat off the cavalry, who al-,:
so f uttered roach from the Austrian artillery,
for the shells burst repeatedly among ?'
tbe squadrons, andJcilled many men and 1
hortes. But the Austrjtn aana ware iri-'

for the fortress of Koniggratz, others for
Pardubitz, and troops were sent in pusuit
along both roads. The wounded, who
were lying on the ground, shrieked with
fear, when they raw the cavalry galloping
down towards them, but Prince Frederick
Charles took caro that they should be
avoided, and at one time checked the pursuit,
in order to move his sqadrons around,
and not go through a patch of standing
corn, where several wounded Austrians
had tuken refugo. Those, when they saw
Lancers coming, thought they were going
to he massacrcd, and cried piteously, waving
white handkerchiefs as a si^b of truce;
but they had no cause to fear. Large
numbers of prisoners were taken, for the
pursuit was continued to the Elbe, and it
was nut till 9 o'clock that all firing had
set, but the main body of the army
'ted about 7.
As the Princes returned, tho battalions
cheered them for their victory, but they
left the pursuit of their enemies and the
cheers of their own victorious troops to
look after the hospital accommodation* pro
vided for the wounded. These lay in immense
numbers on the field. The dead,
too, laid thick, hut all that they require will |

still out, and will not be collected till late
to-morrow morning. Conspicuous in the
hospital?, working diligently in their vol
untary labor, are the Knights of Saiu
John of Jerusalem.
This order of knighthood1, renewed lately
for the succor of the weak and suffering,
has sent bere a Inrge hospital establishment,
under the direction of Court Theodore
Slralberg. From the voluntary contributions
of the knights, hospitals are main??.:

provided, and by their aM many wounded
are carefully attended who could not be
looked after by the ordinary arrangements.
The battle of Sadowa has been a great
victory for the Prussian army ; the trcps
fought with the most determined courage;
they Btood for hours under a terrible fire^
for there are supposed to have been nearly
1,500 gucs in action, of whicli 750 were
Prussian. The immediately cause of the
victory was the Crown Prince's attack on
the Austrian left ilatik, which turned the
position, but the attack in front had a great
effect on llie issue, as, unless it had been
steadily maintained, the Austriaos might
have repulsed the attack in flank.

and that their artillery was excellency bandied.

A WIDOW FOR ME.
Let youth ping the praise of blusher.
And thrill with the rapturous bliss
That rises unbidden and flushes
The brain at the thought of a kiss.
It is til very well lo be laden
With passionate joy when you seo
The innocent blush uf a maiden,
\ But the glance of a widow for me.
Not a fie would I eiv? for tlie ranture
Tlint swells in llio breast of a boy,
"When Cupid lias helped him lo capturo
A boarding-school casket of joy.
I don't care for bloom and fine dres9ep,
But Paradise comes whon 1 bco
A widow in weeds and fine tresBcs,
Oh I that is a charmer for die.
Then let youth sting the praises of beauty.
And kneel before maidenhood's shrine,
To ringlets an<1 blushes pay duty,
And dream that such things are divine.
But give me the flush that entrances,
The heart that was bound and is free,
The eye with a soul in its glances?
Oh I a gentle young widow for me.
SMILES.
Sunlight o'er the mountain,
Moonbeams on the sen,
I Starlight in tho fouutaio,
Dewdrops on ihe tree,
Lightniug in the heavens,
Floweret of the tales,
Rainbow, Goil'? pledge given,
These are Nature's smiles.
Smiles of beauty dancing,
On the lips wo love,
Smiles from br:ght eyes glancing,
Lead the thoughts above?
Where the smiles eternul
From the Angel-baud,
Shed their sunlight vernal
O or celestial Lauds.
Thie world would bo so dreary
WilhouL the smiles of earth ;
Our heart h would soon grow weary,
Hud human souls no birth,
Like Angel-spirits near ua,
They seem, iu brightness dressed,
Go<] seudB them here lo cheer us,
Uutil we find our rest.
A OIFSY DIVORCE.
A writer on the habits of ihe Gipsies
gives the following account of the ceremonies
of divorce. Hestiys;
Divorce in common. It is performed
over the body o( a horse, which is sucri
ticed for tbe occa-ion. The ceremony
must take placo, it' possible, "when the
sun is at its height." All the parties con
cerned in it enrry long slaves in their hands.
A horse without blemish is led forth, and
a member of the coiup-uiy is chosen by
lot to act as priest on the occasion, lie
walkB round the animal several times, re*
pealing the names of all tbe persons in
whose possession it has been, and extolling
its rare qualities. It is then let loose, aud
several Gipsies set off in pursuit of it.
If it is wild and intractable, leaps ditches,
kicks, and will not allow iuelf to be easily
caught, the guilt of the woman is looked
upon as enormous; but if it ia tame and
docile, her crimes are thought to be leas
heinous, and the death of the horse is suffi
cient to wash ihetn away. But sometirnos
both woman and horse used to be
sacrificed together.
The individual* who catch the hor6e
bring it before the priest. They repeat to
him all the faults and tricks it haa commit'
ted; laying the whole of the crimes of
which the woman is supposed to have been
guilty to its charge, and upbraiding and
scorning me Uuiub creature in an angry
mHnoer for its conduct. They bring, as it
were, an accusation Against it, and plead
for ita condemnation. When this part of
trial is finished, the priest takes a large
knife and thrusts it into the heart of the
horse; and-its bloood is allowed to flow
upon the ground till life is extioct. Ttie
dead animal is now stretched out upon the
ground. The husband then takes bis stand
on one side of it, and the wife on the oth*
er by the hand, repeat certain appropriate
. I. - /-?- ?

tbe Roman obaracter T. After the
marriage bas been dissolved, and tbe woman
dismissed from tbo sacrifice, the heart
of the horse is taken out and roasted with
fire, then sprinkled with vinegar or brandy,
and eaten by the buoband and friends then
present; the female not being allowed to
join in this part of the ceremony. The
body of the horse, fkin and every thing
about it, except tbe heart, is buried on tbe
spot; and years after the ceremony has
taken place, the husband and his friends
vi3ii mo grave ot tbo animal, to Bee whether
it has been disturbed. At these visits,
they walk round about the grave, with
much grief and mourning.
The husband may take another wife
whenever he pleases, but the female is never
permitted to marry again. The token,
or rather bill of divorce, which she receives,
must never be from about her person.
II she loses it, or attempts to pass
herself off as a woman never before married.
she becomes liable to th?

of denth. In the event of ber breaking
this luw, a council of the chiefs is held upon
her conduct, and ber fate is decided by a
m?j irity of the members, and, if she is to
suffer death, her sentence must be confirm*
ed l>y the king or principal lender. The
culprit is then tied to a Blake, with an iron
chain, and there cudgeled to death. The
executioners do not extinguish life at ono
beating, but leave the unhappy woman
for a little while, and return to her, and at
laBt complete their work by despatching
her on the spot.
Thb Comical Troubles op Ma. Jontf*
son.?Our usually quiet city has given
birth latoly to a first class sensation, in the
shape of the Pollard and James difficulty.
[ of which you have doubtless been duly informed.
* Pollard was arrested ; but James
has succeeded up to this time in eluding
the police. Tbeir efforts to arrest him
have occasioned the most amusing farcer
of the season. On the arrival of the
Northern train at 2 12 A. M., a day or 80
since, a Mr. Johuson, engaged in the 'iron
front' business, who boars a striking resetablance
to James' brother,was arrested as Mr.
James, notwithstanding his earnest assertion
that Johnson was bis name. Not
wishing to alarm his wife by appearing before
her unuor police escort, be requested
to be carried to sundry bars on Broad
street to prove bis ideality, when, to b?
great surprise aod horror, be was invariably
addressed as James, and the police were
convinced that tbey ha>1 the right man,
but in compliance with bis urgent entreat*
ies, they went with him to several more
bar? and hotels where be was alway? called
Jamas. At last, porfectly fuddled, he
was carried by his captors to the St. Charles
Hotel, on the way to the atatiori bouse,
where the proprietor spoke to him as John*
son, and Mrs. Jobnson rushed to bis arm*,
claiming him as her husband, but unfortunately
be had not previously stated that he
was a married man, and the 'myrmidon*
