It was, pertap the last Confederate council of w held east of the Mississippi River, cc taiuly the last in which Mr. Dav pajrtrarjated. \\io4*ad gone into, camp- in the \ 7 ci l??f ;<>fthe -little town, and althoug beccs?Sog quite anxious to u uderstat what was going, io be -done, wo. wei expecting no immediate solution < the problem.' " We Were aH cou vince that the best we could hope and c was to get Mr. Davis safely out of ti country, and liten obtain such teni as batf been given General Johnston army, or, failing in that, make tl; best of cur way to the trans-Missi " 8ippi. The five brigade commanders eac received an .order notifying him to a tend at the private residence in At beville where Mr. Davis had madeb: headquarters, about four o'clock ( that Afternoon. We assemble psotuplly at. the hour indicated, an were shown into a room where w ?bund Mr. Davis and Generals Bred hundge.an<LBragg. No one else" wa present. I had never seen Mi Davis. look better or show to bette advantage. Ile seemed in excelleti spirits and humor ; and the union c dignify, graceful affability, and di ctsion which made his manner usual!, so striking, was very marked iu hi reception of us. After some convei sat?ou of a general nature, he ai: tio?nced the purpose which had in du ced him Ito call ns together. -?flt is time," he said, "that w< adopt some definite plan npon whicl die further prosecution of our strng gie shall be conducted. 1 have sum moued'yon for consultation. I fee that I ought to do nothing now with uutethf? advice of my military chiefs/ lie sn-J ed rattier archly as he usc* this expression?, and wc could no help tliinkiug that such a term ad dressed to a -handful of brigadiers? Coinmandmg altogether barely thre? thousand men, by one who so recent fy had been the master of legions wai a pleasantry, yet he said it in a wa v that made ita compliment. . After we had each given, at his re? quest, ? .statement of thc equipment and condition of our respective com? mands. Mr. Davis proceeded to de? clare his conviction lUal, the- cause was uo^ok^aary more than hope ol American itberty was goiieainid the sorest ..trials and Uiost disheartening reverses j?l ?he revolutionary strug? gle y but that energy, courage, and Constancy might yet save ail. -Even/ # fie said, "ii tiie troops now with me be all that I can. for the present rely on, three thousand brave meit are enough for a nucleus around which the whole people will rally when the panic which now afflicts them has paused away." Ile the? asked that we should make such suggestions in regari! to thc future conduct of thc wat as we deemed advisable. Wc looked at each other in amaze? ment aud with a feeling a little akin to tiepidation, for we hardly knew how we should give expression to views so "diametrically opposed to those he had uttered as we entertain? ed. Our respect for Mr. Davis ap? proached veneration, and notwith? standing the tctal dissent we felt, and were obliged to announce to the pro? gramme ho had indicated, that res? pect was rather increased than di? minished jby what he had said. We recognized that his high and daunt less spirit abhorred submission, not from persona) considerations so much as because of the patriotic love he bore his cause and people. I do not remember who spoke first, but.we each expiessed the same opin? ion. We told him frankly that the events of the last few days had re? moved from our minds all idea or hope that a .prolongation of the coutest was possible. J?he people were not panic-stricken but broken down and worn out after cVery effort at resistance had been exhausted. We said that an attempt to continue the war, after all means of supporting wai fare were gone, would be a cruel injustice to the people of thc South. We would be compelled to live on a countiy already impover? ished, and would invite its further de? vastation We urged that we would be doing a great wrong to our men, if we persuaded them to 6uch a coarse. That if they persisted in a conflict so hopeless, they would be declared and treated as brigauds, and would forfeit all chance of returning to their homes. He asked why then were we still in the field. We answered that we were desirous of affording him an op? portunity of escaping the degrada? tion of capture, and perhaps a fate which would be direr lo the people than even to himself, in still more em? bittering tlie exasperated feeling be? tween the North and South. We said lihat ,we would ask our men to follow as until his safety was assured, and would risk them ia battle for that purpose, but would not 6re auoth shot in an effort to continue hosti ties. ET? declared, abruptly, that 1 j would listen to no suggestion willi regarded only his owu safety. E suming his previous tone, he appe ed with an eloquence that was. su lime to every sentiment and remin cence that might be supposed to roo a Southern soldier, and urged us accept his views. We remained lent, for our convictions were w shaken ; we felt responsible for ti future welfare of the men who had heroically followed us, and the pai ful point had been reached, when 6peak again in opposition to all tl he urged would have approached tercation. For some minutes not word was spoken. Then Mr. Dai arose and ejaculated bitterly that J was indeed lost, lie had Leeor very'pallid, and he walked 60 feel as he proceeded to leave the roc that General Breckenridge stepp? hastily up and offered his arm. I have undertaken to narrate ve briefly what occurred in a conferer! which lasted for two or three hom I believe that I have accurately giv< the substance of what was said I Mr. Davis iu quotation marks, I ha1 correctly reproduced it, or very ne? ly so. Generals Debrell and Ferg son, and Colonel Breekinridge a still livings 1 think their recollects of this somewhat remarkable occi renee will agree with mine. Geuerals Breckenridge and Bra? took no part in the discussion. Bot however, after Mr. Davis retired, s sured us of their hearty approval the position we had taken. They hi forebome to say anything, becau not immediately commanding tl troops, and not supposed, therefor to know their sentiments so well ; we did. But they promised to urj upon Mr. Davis the necessity ai propriety of endeavoring without fu ther delay to get out of the countr and not permit other and serious cot plications ta be produced by his ca ture and imprisonment, and perhaj execution.-General Duke in Augu Bivouac. Look out for Seed Cora Nov It is no exaggeration to 6ay rb* millions of dollars are lost every ye? from planting eeed corn that will nc grow. We tested a number of. san pies last spring, of corn of our ow growing and from some of the bet farmers in the neighborhood, and di not find one that was uniformly gooc Some bf the ears from the outsid of the crib would be good, but thos from the inside would be poor. Fat mers would say "I know good see corn when I see it, and I will warran this to grow;" but on testing it, mor than half the kernels would not gei m?nate. The trouble is not due so much t( immaturity, as to 'the careless metho< of gathering and keeping the corn If the corn is thoroughly dry whei put in' the crib, and afterwards kep dry, the chances are that it will prov* good. The growers of seed sweet corn, the late varieties of which ar* exceedingly difficult to cure properly build narrow racks on which the can are spread out for several days o weeks. There is a general impies sion that corn for seed should be lei growing till it is thoroughly matured This is a mistake. Practically, it U far safer vto cut corn for seed ver} early and let it ripen in the shock than to ruu the risk of having it nip ped by an early frost, or of having the curing delaped by the shorte? days and damp weather of the late season: The. first point is to get tht corn thoroughly dry before putting j in the crib. And then the crib should : be very narrow and with open slate at bottom and sides and a good wide roof, to keep off driving rains. If all these conditious cairriot be secured, the only way we eau be sure of good seed corn Ts to select the best ears and leave the hesks attached to the buts aud tie them up in traces and hang^ trie?traces in an-airy barn or loom for the winter.. The few fann? ers who had such corn last spring, could get their own price for it. American Agriculturist for Sept. The above suggestions arc timely and very good ; but our readers will observe that tho directions are pre? pared for a Northern latitude. --^?--??-?-- -? Georgetown Enquirer : *The Tow?

When 'Compound Oxygen' is inhaled, the heart has imparted to it increased vitality.
