Dr. s. calls the attention Of the public to the
following advantages Of his improved system:
LIST. The teeth Of his manufacture will never
eorrode nor change color by any acids, and are
three fourths lighter than any other.
ID. No teeth or roots need be extracted, as the
artificial ones can be inserted over them.
Sd. The roots will be made inohensiye and
never 10 ache
9TH. No temporary teeth are needed, as per-
manent ones can be made Immediately, thereby
preserving the natural expression Of the face,
which, under the old system, is frequently dis
figured.
9th. This work has been fully tested for over
Ave years by many Of the hrst chemists and
PHI sicians OF this and the old country.
DR.. g. has also Invented white indestructi-
BILE metal filling, with which the most sensitive
teeth can be Allied without pain, and can build

From Fortress MOnroe---Details of
JEFF: Davis Arrival-Five Tuns
of Rebel Archives. n 7.

FORTRESS MONROE, May 20, VIA BALTI-
MORE, May 2l-Snce writing my dispatch
of yesterday, 1t has been definitely ascer-
tained that JEFF. Davis and party are still
on board the steamer VIM. II. Clyde, an
chored in Hampton Roads. Col. Pritchard
has been awaiting instructions from Wash
ington. AS soon as the Clyde arrived yes
terday, telegram was sent to Major Cen
eral Halleck, at Richmond, announcing the
arrival Of the prisoners. For some reason,
Gen. Haileck did not receive the dispatch
until late in the evening, when it was too
dark to attempt the passage of the obstruc-
tions of the James river; consequently
Gen. Halleck did not reach here until IL
o'clock to-day.
1t is presumed the delay in making dis
posal of the rebel President and others was
occasioned by Difference to the opinion of
Gen. Halleck, as commander of this Depart
ment. The prisoners now on board the
steamer comprise principally the following
persons: jeff. Davis, Mrs. Davis and four
children, her brother and sister, A. ii. Ste
phens (who surrendered to our cavalry
while at his home, near Atlanta, Ga, and
who is in extremely feeble healthy, 6. G..
Clay and wife, Gen. Wheeler and staff, and
Col. johnson, besides many others of i'm
portance though of lesser note.
Col. b. B. Treat OF Gen. Schofield's staff,
arrived here at late hour last evening from
Newbern, N. c., in the steamer John Tracy,
via the Chesapeake and Albemarle Canal,
with about five tuns of the archives and doc
uments pertaining to the late Southern Con-
federacy, captured few days Since by a
portion of our forces at Charlotte, N.
@. 1t will be remembered that when
Gen. Lees army evacuated Richmond, the
rebel archives were Immediately consign-
ed to the flames. A large portion of the
documents, &C., relating tothe proceedings
Of their Congress and Government were,
however, packed up, and the most impor-
tant part sent to Charlotte for safe keeping,
the rebels little dreaming, with all their
deep-laid plots and secrets, they would so
speedily fall into the hands of our Govern
ment. The archives, &C., which must pos
sess the most intense interest, and will
prove of the greatest value, are in charge of
Col. Treat and ngguard, to whose care
they were intrusted by Gen. Schofeld. On
reaching here they were Immediately trans
ferred to the steamer Martha Washington,
and sent to Washington.

From Washington.

NEW YORK, May pa special to the
Times says: President johnson, in granting
the respite to the Indiana conspirators said
he was only carrying out purpose of Mr.
Lincoln, and it must not be taken as pre-
cedent.
Frederick Seward has had his wounds
dressed again without any apprehended
hemorrhage. His condition is considered IA
vorable. -'
Gen. F. Blair is urged for place in the
Cabinet, while his brother Montgomery is
also urged for the War Department.
A special to the Herald says: The new
amnesty proclamation will apply to all who
did not avail themselves OF President Lin
coins aud will be more strict in its provis-
ions.
WASHINGTON, May 22.-The counsel for
the prisoners in the conspiracy trial have
summoned about 200 witnesses.
The city is crowded to overflowing by
persons to witness the review.
The average pay due each soldier is $3.50,
and the Government isready to pay off ard
discharge every man in both armies.
Sheridan goes to Texas with orders to
destroy and lay waste, if the rebel forces
persist in holding out.
The North Carolina delegation are hav-
ing satisfactory interviews with the Presi'
dent, who is understood to adhere strictly
to the total abolition of slavery as condi'
ton precedent to restoration ofcivil pow
er in the State.
Gen. Banks was not removed for any po
litical consideration whatever. Gen. Gran
displaced him for military reasons, and re-
fuses to discuss the question of reconsidera
ton.
New YORK, May PA special to thu
Commercial from Washington says:
number of important witnesses for the
prosecution arrived here last night. The
expectations that the trial will terminate
this week will scarcely be realized. The
defense will be formidable. Reverdy
johnson will chiefly occupy himself with
rebutting evidence to the testimony inn
plicating JEFF. Davis and the Richmond
leaders. 1t is believed that the captured
rebel archives will furnish much informa-
ton about the conspiracy.

JEFF: Davis Capture.-A Different
VeF.aiOu.

New YORK, May 2l.-The Herald's corre-
spondent gives the particulars of the arrest
of jeff. Davis, fully confirming the official
account already published. When the
guard went to the tent, they we're met by
Mrs. Davis, en- dishabille, with "Please, gen
tlemen, don't disturb the privacy of ladies
before they have time to dress" "All right,
madam" said the corporal, 1--WE will wait
till you have on your duds." Presently
there appeared at the tent door an ostensible
old lady, with basket on her arm, escorted
by Mrs. Davis and her sister, "Please let my
old mother go to the spring for some water
to wash in," said Mrs. Davis In pleading
tone. 1T strikes me your mother wears
ed the old lady's dress with his sabre and
discovered pair of number 13 calf-skins;
''and whiskers, too," said the Sergeant, as
he pulled the hood from her face; and 10,
JEFF. Davis, in all his littleness, stood before
them. A Spencer rifle was Immediately
pointed at his ear, and he was marched
back to his tent and placed in durance vile,
Only about $4,000 in specie was with the
party, though several boxes were not yet
searched. They were brought along, how
ever, and will be delivered to the authorities
at Washington.
There were found on the person of Post
master General Reagan papers showing a
large amount of specie shipped for London,
which will also be delivered to the authori-
ties by Col. Pritchard.
The letter. with his prisoners, started i'm
mediately for Macon. The party were all
sullen. Davis remarked to Pfitchard that
had they not been taken by surprise, they
would not have surrendered without Q
fight. ..
While on the road they received a copy Of
President Johnson's proclamation Offering
100000 for Davis. Davis read it, trembled
his hands dropped to his side, and with q
groan he dropped the paper. His wife
picked it up, read it aloud, aud the entire
party burst into tears. .....
The cavalcade arrived at Macon on the
18th, and soon after took a special train for
Atlanta, and thence to Augusta.
Stephens and Wheeler were captured by
detachment Of General Upton's division,
and Clay and lady surrendered to General
Wilson at Macon.

Sheridan's New Banks
Relieved.

NEW YORK, May pa Washington
special to the Times says: Gen. Sheridan's
new command virtually supersedes Gen.
Candy i'm the command Of the military divi-
sion of the Mississippi.
Gen. Candy has been assigned to the COM
mand of the Department of the Gull, which
relieves Gen. Banks who is ordered to re-
port to the Adjutant- General of the army.
The Department of the Gulf is considerably
extended, and will hereafter include several
States heretofore included in other depart
ments. This action, so far as it refers to
Gen. Banks, is of purely military charac-
ter, and is not done as the result of the la
bors of any investigating committee, or be-
cause of charges preferred or pressure
brought to bear against Gen. Banks by the
politicians now here. Those parties have
not yet had an interview with Gen. Grant
and he knows nothing of their views or
wishes. This change in these several COM
mands has been contemplated several weeks.

The Grrr ENrERTAINMENr.--1he first
presentation entertainment given by the
New York jewelers. Association, will take
place at Ellsler's Atheneum ON Friday even
ing. The price of ticket is one dollar,
and the entertainment, from what we hear
of those given by the Association in other
places, is fairly worth the money. But
with the tickets which are sold at the Com
pany's depot, 2O7 south High street, each
purchaser draws valuable prize, immedi-
ately on receiving his ticket.
The company's establishment is neatly
and elegantly fitted up, and is, well worth a
visit to see the beautiful and splendid arti-
cles arranged on the shelves for distribution
to the holders of tickets. We called in
yesterday, and during a stay of few min
utes' duration, we saw quite number of
tickets sold, the holders of which drew
prizes worth in each case many times the
price of the ticket. The beauty of the
thing is that there are no blanks. Every
ticket draws prize.

Recosstruction in North Carolina.

New York, May 22.-A Washington
special to the Times says: The delegation
from North Carolina, now in this city, as
sert that the party known during the war
as the Conservative party in that State,
was, in reality, composed mainly OF Union
men, who were compelled to assume the
guise of opposition to the ultra advocates
of secession, and that two years ago Gov.
Vance was elected to his position as the
professed representative of that party, but
that he betrayed those who placed him in
power by becoming the tool of JEFF. Davis.
The first step taken in North Carolina
towards reconstruction will be the appoint
ment of Military Governor, under whose
call State Convention shall meet and de-
wise measures for the proper amendment of
the State Constitution and the election of
State officers and members Of Congress.

JEFF Davis-Why he is Detained at
Fortress MOnrOe-Gen. Sheridan
Starts for Texas.

New YORK, May pa special to the
World from Washington says: The deten-

the expectation that some time will elapse
before all the evidence of his completely in
the assassination conspiracy is collected.
He will, in all probability, be indicted for
treason by the grand jury sitting at Alex
andria.
A special to the Tribune says: Sheridan
left for Texas last evening. 1t is under
stood he has. authority to collect such troops
as may be available in the Western Depart
ment and transfer them to Galveston and
thence to march upon Kirby Smiths forces.
His entire cavalry force passed by his win
dow at Wizards yesterday. AS a tribute of
respect to their departing chieftain, on Sat-
urday evening he was serenaded, and when
called upon for speech, merely said he
had been so long in the service that he had
no time to make speech maker of himself,
which he regretted for the sake of this oc-
casion.
