move about. His face is entirely
devoid Of beard, and his lips extremely
thin. He is what is commonly termed
ernjawed, and has high smooth
forehead. His eyes are bright but
after looking at them straight during a
somewhat lengthy conversation, I am
unable to say what color they really
are. He was dressed in plain black
clothing, and wears a heavy gold fob
chain. The amber stem of his meer-
schaum pipe is always seen, either in
his mouth or protruding from his vest
pocket. He conversed very freely
about the events Of the past four
years. lie maintains that lie was al
ways in favor of the UAion and op-
posed to secession, though he advocates
the inherent right Of State to with
draw from the Union under the Con-
stitution. BE vindicates his course in
accepting the ice-Presidency Of the
Contederacy, by saying that he did so
in order to prevent the horrors of dis
organized warfare, and to try to bring
about reconstruction. He is not on
good terms with Davis, and have not
seen them exchange words during The
trip. Both keep their state rooms
closely, and neither seems to pay much
attention to what is rranspiring around
them. The next character of note in
the programme is the late
POSTMASTER GENERAL REGAIN.
This individual was formerly re-
preventative in Congress from Texas,
and endeavored to make himself noto.
rious on the State Rights question, y
challenging debate with several premi-
nent Republican members. None,
however, saw fit to indulge him, ard
lie made but little reputation, except
among the fre-eaters OF his own State.
Being personal friend Of Davis. and
one Of his chief co.workers in iniquity,
he received the appointment Of Post
master> General, iu which capacity he
served until the rebel bubble burst.
He then volunteered his services to
pilot his lord and master through the
country to Texas; and, after securing
a shipment Of most Of the rebel funds
(Which be had for some time teen
converting into specie) in a blockade
runner to Europe, for deposit, subject
to his draft. he undertook his perilous
journey. You. are already apprised
of the result. He is thickset, black.
haired, tawny man, such as the climate
Of Texas usually produces.
COLONEL LUBBOCK.
Was formerly Governor of Texas,
but has been serving for some time as
aid de camp to Davis, with rank OF
Colonel of Artillery. He is also a
heavy set individual, with grey hair
and imperial, and grey cold eyes. He
is rather Of a jovial disposition, how
ever, ard is disposed to take his cap
tivity rather as Joke" than other
wise.
COLONEL JOHNSON.
Occupied the same rank and po.
sition. He is a very tall, muscular
man, and is also grey. He is much Of
the disposition of Lubbock. and the
two pass much of their time playing
cards or spinning yarns.
PRIVATE SECRETARY HARRISON.
Is very good looking young man,
and is very we'll informed on political
matters. He does not, however, ex~
press an opinion openly on any topic
connected with the defuuct Confed
eracy, and is much reserved 10 his
manner. He is very attentive to "the
President as he invariably calls him,
sand would consider it an honor to
black his boots. This is all the Presi-
