SOUTHERN VERSION OF THE CAP
TURE OF DAVIS.
From the Houston Telegraph.


Lieut.. Esan, of company *, Twenty
fourth Texas cavaly, was with Mr..
Davis when he was captured, and has
affair. From his narrative we derive
the following:
Mr.. Davis, Judge Reagan, Colonel
Lubbock and Colonel Johnson, were en-
route to Texas, expecting to continue
the struggle here. Mrs. Davis and fami-
ly were travelling towards Florida with
a view of running the blockade from the
Florida coast. 1t was Mrs. Davis in
tentiOn to take the children to England
and then to rejOin her husband in Tex
as, where they hoped to protract the
struggle.
Lieut.. Elsan was one of the guard of
Mrs. Davis party. They were in Will
cox county, Georgia, May Z, when the
President Joined them. They travelled
together that day. On the morning of
the 9Th he parted from them for Texas,
on horseback. After travelling twenty
miles he learned that bandofjay hawkers
had been organized to plumber the party
left behind of their train Anxiety for
the safety of his family induced him to re-
main till they came up, which they did
on the evening of the Sth.
They travelled in company on the 9th +,
and all camped together that night
Meanwhile the Fourth Michigan cavalry
had been on their track. On the night
of the 9th this regiment surprised two
scouts who had been left in the rear to
watch for pursuit, but who had been
overcome by fatigue and fallen asleep
The pursuers rode all night, and at day
break on the morning of the 10th sur
prised the encampment and captured
the whole party without firsng gun.
On the surprise Mr.. Davis threw a
cloak over his shoulders and started for
his horse, about forty steps from his tent
AS he set out Mrs. Davis threw veil
over his hat He had got but a few steps
when cavalryman rode up. and pre-
senting his gun to him, cried out, ~
know you, you old scoundrel; | have
seen you before surrender" (It seems
that he had lived in Richmond since the
war began.) AS he stopped Mr.. Davis,
Mrs. Davis ran to him, and throwing her
arms around his neck, begged them to
spare his life. Colonel Pritchard, the
commander of the pursuing cavalry, now
rode up, and assured her he should not
be hurt.
From this time the party was treated
with marked politeness. They We're
taken to Macon, Mrs. Davis being allow
ed all her transportation except an am
bulance, which was taken for some of
the wounded.
Lieut.. Elsan says theentire amount of
specie the party had with them was
about eleven thousand dollars. OF this
Mrs. Davis had two thousand dollars,
her own private funds, Mr.. Davis about
fourteen hundred, which he carried in
his holsters, and the balance belonged to
Judge Reagan and the balance of the
party.
