whi e retreating through the country.—
President Davis and hhtCabi iet, togeth
er with other distinguished Confederate*-,
stopped at the re ruence of Mrs. Moms,
an ugt-d widow, whore it is believe 1 tho
last counsel of the Confederacy was held,
When tlie meeting was about over Gen.
John C. Brcckeniidge tailed iu Mrs.
Moss, and, handing her a bnx of quaint.
device, told her it *was of greut value,
containing the jewelry which bird been
pawned by ladies of the Confederacy for
the benefit of the cause, nnd de ired her
to sccro c it uulilsome one with pr pjr
authority should come M claim it.
When the party revumed its retreat
Mrs. Moss exain'ticd the content* of the
box, tud was dazzled by the brilliance
which met her gaze. For several weekn
t-he kept her irist a prof >uud socret, and
guarded it from hundreds of uieq_who
were searching the couutryfor remnant*
of the robbed treasure train. One night
a horsenivn rode up to her residence.—
Alighting, he called Mrs Mo«s aside,
and, in whispeml words, told her ho
was the accredited agent of the person*
who had left the jewelry box iu her pos
session, and that he had been instructed
to call for it. Cwinpfe'e'y deceived by
the man's assurance and appearance of
honesty, she placed the box iu hi*hand*,
to see Irm disappear in the datknees, and
to rcalizi the next day that Abe had b<-eu
cruelly imposed upon. She died a month
later. The fact that the jewels just found
correspond so well wiih the Contents of
tho mysterious box, lends color to the
supposition that they are the same.
