FORTRESS MONBOK TO RICnMOND.
The "Spotswood," RicnMOND, Va., Maj 1.3, 18C7.
In ca.stin a retrospective !;lance backcred over lho pathway ut the pnsl, I kon aoe many mistakes wioh I hev made. I hey'nt alluz mado the most uv oportanities—I hov doubtid when doublin wuz a crime, and hev stood shivrin on tho brink and feared to lanoh away, when on tbe tother sido nv the .Inrdnn wui pelf and profit.— Our foresite isn't alluz ez good oz our hind- site. The great error uv my Ufo wuz tn not plungin headlong into the war ez a Confcderit Major Oeneral, dislioguishin myself for crooelty lo Fedral prizncrs, and bein at lho closo uv the fralrisije slrujigle rcsecvd and embroccd oz along-lost broth¬ er by the Norlhflra people (leltln em kill fattid calves for mo), aod uv coorso bein tho object uv sympathy ez a marlcr by tho Southern penple. In this sitooashen a man hez two strings to bis bow. lie brines to his support tho two extremes. Ilo fetches logelher Ilorris Oroely from tho one sido and General Borosfird frnm thc tother—they embrace, and sinndin onto bolh their shnlders ho hez wat may bo called a soft thing uv it.
I wuz led into ihcse train uv refloolions by lho experienco I have hod wilh our sainted ohcef, Jefferson Dnvis. I wuz sent hiVhcr by tho President tn see Ihnt every- thin wuz dnne for the cnmfort uv the il¬ lustrious man thnt cood be dono, on the occa.«ion uv his oonteniplnlid trip to Hich¬ mond. Partikelerty wuz I charged to seo that evorytbing cnlkelalid to jnr ontn his sensitive feelins be removod—everything wieh cood wound his sense uv Iioarid, see- in or smellin.
The great man hnd cnn«cnled logo. ITe hed bin, he felt, illecally deprived nv lib¬ erly—unonnstooshnelly in fnel—nnd of ho shood cnnsull his own feelins hc would re- mnno, but to forgive wuz divine. Viewin theso precccdins in tho lite uv nn apology he wood go.
Tho dny bed arrived. Thc steamer wuz nt tbo Fortress, carefully prepared to re¬ ceive ils illustrious burden. It had been thoroughly cleaned nnd fuiiii.Mted, the onbins hed l.in nnuidy f.innsluJ, nnd speiilil nlterashens made fur llu- Tresident nml pnrly. There wnz Yonnited Slates offieers nnd soljers nbnard, but mit of re- speck for the feelills nv their illuntrious "prizner," czho i.i loohiiienlly called, they keep thcir.ielves cnrefully nul of his site, lhat lho color uv their nniforms might nnt nW.-iken onpleasant refleeslien-i. So perfeel indeed, wuz tho nrrnnsi'inenls, tlint the r»ilin uv the bhnt, which wns originally binn, wui kivered with gray cloth, and Iho enule fi'.'aer head uv Iho craft wuz sawed off. Tliis wiiz sejested by n eminent Con¬ servative of Nno Ynrk, who hez a larie .'Snulhern Irndo   wieh hc didn't   prejond
but a female passenger hed no more regard for the comfurl uv lho iirirter Ihan lo dio on the pnssase, and ihey woro deprived uv it. Tho Conservnlivo ninrchant inhisle 1 that tho corpan be chucked overboard, hut Mr. Davis, with a ningnnniniily which wuz nlhiz chnractoristio uv   him.   refoozed
Thu next dsy the President wnz taken to the Court. Ez he onlnred the room, Hnd elnouod proudly over thc awjence, it wood hev bin very difficult to her decided whether he wnz« goin to try tho Court or the Court him. Uut repressin hisself, he took his seat. Tenhin aolissiloood wuz displayed in the Court room for his com¬ fort. A crack in the winder oasio let in a draft uv oold air; he shuddered and a shuiider run thro the entire assemblage. Theshuddoruv the Conservative nierchant from Noo York wnz trooly artistio. Cot¬ tou wuz called for, wheo the Conservative merchant's wifo toro off one uv her huz- zums and stuft tho aportoor. Wuz ther over more teehin saorifis 1 Tho President wept aa ho beheld it. On assertainio the Icmpcratoor wioh best sootid his system, a ihermomete^^jqMibfpt, ladJjie room wnz kept at that precise degree.
Thcro wuz sum triflin logal formalities gone through with, and the President's counsel mnde a motion that he be admit¬ ted to bail. There wuz a stir in the court. "Make it a million !" sed one, "so that the craven Nortb shel sec how we kin take keer uv thom we lovo !" but Judge Under¬ wood fixed it at $100,000, and brisk ez beea, Schell, a Noo York Dimoorat, sever¬ al Richmond Dimocrals, and Ilorris Oreo- Iy slept forrcrd and signed it.
Nevor shel I forgit the shout that ossen- did ez Ilorris wui a sisnin his name.
"Three cheers for Jefferson Oreely and Ilorris Davis—one nnd inseporabic, now aod forever !" shouted uno enthuaiaslic Confedrit.
"Immorlalily ia yoors !" aed another, seezin him by the hand corjelly. "Jeffer¬ son Davis is the big dog uv lho age, and yoo, my deer sir. aro nnw tho lin kiltie tied to bis lale. Wnt juy ! Wat happinis ! When posterily specks uv hiui they'll speek uv yoo !"
I coodeot rcstrnno inyself no more — llualin into leers I fell onto Greeley's bnz- zuni and wo embraced. Kz hc heiln'l his speklicles on, he sposod il wuz Dnvis his¬ self, and ho busted into leers also, and thero wuz wun uv thu mnststrikin tablnns ever oxhibiled. I got nway afore hc dis- kivered his mislake.
Here wnz tho endin uv onr troubles— lho eonRUiniimttbon uv our hnpcs. Dnvis wuz free'. The pent np cmoshcns uv the people found vent. Kz ho slept inlci the ."treet, tho people crowded to lho enrrincc wieh contained us, and rent the air with cheera. IVe renchcd the hotel, nnd after cmbraoin his wife, n season of religious exercises wuz held. The clergyman who bed excloosivo charge of Davis' piety doo ring tho wnr, wuz preseni, and ho nffiired prnyer. Ilo pr.iyed fervenily that the Lord wond forgive the penple ofthe North for the wrong thcy bed dono our sainted hend, thnl hn wood forgive, ef possible, the hilc hend uv tbo Federnl Oovernmenl who hnd opposed bim and thc glorious cnz

Tho most cnnsidrit proparashens hed been mado for his rcscption. Ther wuz no irons onto bim—the only t'unrds in site wuz them wich wuz detailed to keep the crowd from annoyin him, and a carriago wuz in readiness, inlo wich we sealed our¬ selves, and wuz driven off al n dignified pace to tbat resort uv the aristocracy uv Virginny—tho Spottswood. Here more considerashen wuz ahown. Mr. Davia bein averse to wnlkinup stairs, a suite uv rooms bed bin prepared for him nn the fust flonr, and Ihe presence ut Gon. linrton, uv the Fedral army, boin obnoxions, be wuz ns signed by tho ex-President n room nt the further end uv tho corridor. Ilis nerves bcin very sensitive, heavy mnllin wuz laid down all tbo halls, and thcservnnts uv the bouse wuz especially direcied to wear list slippers, and tn walk on their tip toes.
I wuz invited lo bis room, and wnt fa¬ vored wilh a few minutes converaasben with the Grst of Amerikons. Olancin oul uv tho winder his fine, soft, grey eyo res- lid on tho roof uv Libby.
"Tiies I liea !" sed he, angrily. "Wui speabl lies bcv yoo reference lo ?" oskt I.
