Cot. DAvIs.-We had the pleasure Of seeing
to-day Col. Jefferson Davis, who has won so
enviable a distinction among the heroes OF the
present war. He arrived yesterday to discharge
his duties a new Senator Of the United States
from the State of Mississippi. The Colonel
limps little, and is not entirely cured of the
wound which he received; but he is slowly re-
covering, and hopes, in a short time, TO be able
to dispense with the use of his crutches.-

SUlcIDE.-An inquest was held yesterday by
coroner Virgins, near the corner of Maine and
Lawrence streets. on the body Of man named
David Smith, late nurse In the Marine Hospi-
tai. 1t appeared on the inquest that he was mar
RED some two months ago. The match was not
happy one; the parties separated about ten days
since. In the interim Smith was living at Mrs.
Gouldlng's until he could get employment. On
Thursday, after being absent some time, he re-
turned TO her house, and drank portion of the
contents of an ounce phial of laudanum. Sho-t-
ly afterwards he spoke a few words and died.
A postmortem examination was held on the
body by Drs Lewis and Jenkins They could
find nothing in the body of poisonous nature,
and gave il as their opinion that the death was
occasioned by intemperance. The jury then rem
dered verdict in accordance with this decision.
On the table near the bed of the deceased were
found three letters, two addressed TO friend,
asking the use OF money, aud one to his wife,
which we copy below. From this il is supposed
that the deceased committed, or intended to COM
init suicide. We omit the names
To Ma. D. SMTH-FRoM HER LATE HUSBAND, GREE
TIrG-When married you, was drunk Even when
saw nrst after the ARRAY with your brothers was
drunk. It's true, never loved you nor you me. You
had me- as told me the second night after We was
joined married to spite your relations; though pity
you you to blame could have done better but my
curses follow and and all the
rest that brought together but die and forgive
all, In hope you will forgive me. DAVID SMITH
