Arrival of jeff Davis at Fortress
Monroe.

Jeff Davis, ''the President" and Alex.
ander H. Stephens, the Vice President of
the establishment recently removed from
Richmond together with Mr.. Regain, of
Texas, the Postmaster General Clement C.
Clay, of Alabama General Wheeler. who
has rendered himself infamous by murders
of Union soldiers, and other officials recently
captured by our forces whilst flying from
Richmond, arrived at Fortress Monroe on
Friday afternoon of last week, in charge of
Colonel Pritchard, who commanded the
force that captured Davis. The prisoners
were brought overland to Savannah from the
point of their capture, from Savannah to
Hilton Head by gunboat ,sand from thence
to Fortress Monroe in the steamer Clyde,
conveyed by the soop of war Tuscarora.
Davis and Clay are alleged to be parties to
the late assassination conspiracy, and the
Government, it will be remembered, offered
a reward of 500, 600 for the capture of the
former, and $25 900 for the latter. A. H.
Stephens, who is in feeble health, and who
does not appear to have taken any very ac-
tive part in the Government of the Confed-
crate States since lis hampton Roads Con
ference with the lamented President and
Secretary Seward, surrendered himself to
our cavalry whilst at his home near Atlanta,
Ga. The detailed account Of Jeff capture
fully substantiates the first report that he at
tempted to escape in female apparel. Thus
disguised he appeared at the door of the
tent with bucket on his arm, and Mrs.
Davis solicited permission for her ''mother
to get some water from the spring. The
corporal on guard thought the old LADY had
remarkably masculine looking pair of
boots on, and little investigation exposed
the attempted trick. On the trip North the
Presidents proclamation offering a reward
of one hundred thousand dollars for his cap
ture was shown jeff, and after reading it he
appeared to be almost overcome by his feel
ings at the realization of the position in
which he is placed. Clement c. Clay was
not captured with Davis, but surrendered
himself to our forces to stand his trial on
the charge of bein. implicated in the assas-
sination OF President Lincoln.
jeff Davis and Clement c. Clay were on
Monday transferred from the steamer Clyde
to the care of Colonel Roberts, the com
mandant of Fortress Monroe, and are now
incarcerated in one of the classmates of that
work, where cells had been prepared for
their reception. The arrangements for the
removal of the prisoners were superintendent
bv General Halleck. Stringent orders have
been issued in relation to their custody, and
no one will be allowed to enter the Fortress
unless provided with pass from General
Halleck. Mrs. Davis and her four children,
her brother and sister, and the wife Of Glenn
ent G. Clay remained on the steamer Clyde,
and it is thought at Old Point that they will
be sent South, orders having been issued by
the War Department prohibiting them from
going North. The parting between Davis
and his family was very affecting.

The RETAIL MARKETs.-As usual at this
season of the year, the retail markets of the
city are abundantly supplied with all the
product of the SOIL shamble and dairy, to-
gether with the contributions of the sea, &c.
The prices asked have become more moder-
ate, in comparison with previous years, but
still are higher than they should be in view
of the great advantages derivable from the
close proximity of the city to the sources

has been very much in fashion. A ramble
about Mitchell and Stump's saw mill has also
been INDUCED in by many of our citizens
By the way, our new Town Commissioners
must not neglect to replant trees along the
walk to the creek this fall. Many of those
first planted are dead, and some that remain
are being ruined by the boxes leaning against
them. The boxes round the dead stumps
should be taken up and laid away till fall, as
they are being carried off for fire wood.

RE-OpENING OF THE. ELKToN NJ. h.
CHURCH.-Agreeably to notice heretofore
given the NJ. L. Church was re-opened on
Sunday last. The day was anything but
pleasant, having rained, alternately, from
early in the morning till late at night; which,
together with Bishop Simpsons failing to
be present. as advertised, no doubt seriously
interfered With the attendance at Church.
In his absence, however, the other ministers
engaged for Tic occasion-Messrs. Gibson
and Chapman-otf icated the former preach
ing morning and evening; the latter in the
afternoon. These Rev. gentlemen preached
excellent sermons, and made by their able
and prompt efforts in the good cause, a very
favorable Impression with the congregation,
and they will no doubt long be remembered
The l!armonium was in its accustomed place.
and filled the house with its sonorous tones.
The Choir fully sustained its high reputation.
At the conclusion of each service during
the day, subscriptions were solicited and
readily obtained to liquidate the debt-about
$4,000, all told-still remaining on Che
building. Notwithstanding the comparative
smallness of the congregation present, and
although it may seem an astonishing fact it
is nevertheless true, the whole amount was
subscribed, and such measures taken as to
secure the prompt payment of the same by
the time it shall be needed
The Church, since its renovation, has re-
gained its former grandeur, and may now be
considered out of debt-a most happy con-
dition.

The Third Series of 7-3O.s.

The great success of the 7-3O Loan must always be
looked upon Of the powerful evidences of the
strength of the United States Government, and of it's
strong hold upon the confidence and affections of the
people, On Saturday, the 18th inst the subscriptions
were over Ihrty Million Dollars and for the week end

in the three months that the Loan has been in charge of

Correspondence of The Cecil Wing.
CHERRYsToNE, Va, May "a, 1865.

CHERRYSTONE, VA, May Il, 1860.
DEAR WING will few lines from this
part of the Republic be acceptable?
| have to congratulate you and your many
loyal readers on the successful termination
of the unholy rebellion. The would BE-
conlederacy has passed into. history, where
1t will stand rs a perpetual warning to the
generations yet unborn and another proof
that truth and justice will prevail. And
now that peace has returned to greet our
fair land and welcome home our braves to
the quiet enjoyment of the reward an APP
proving conscience gives to those who have
performed their duty, there is work yet to
be done. This country must be regenerated,
and the land made to bloom again. By
whom Not by the present degenerate and
demoralized inhabitants, but by the brain
and strong arms of those who have redeemed
and brought them out of the state of stagna-
ton and death into which they had been
plunged.
l believe there is great future in store
for the South whether the Southern people
will take hold or stand idly by, will not re-
tard her onward or upward course. Slavery
is dead, and the body will be removed from
the gates of the South that have been so
long closed to the world Of progress.
And now let me say a word to those who
may purpose coming South, and more par
ticulary 20 this State, to give the Peninsula or
Eastern Shore a call, as it offers inducements
superior to other portions Of the State.-
Land is cheap, and capable of the highest
stage of improvement. The climate is
adapted to raising grain, Lay, cotton. tobac
co, ana fruits 9. All kinds, and is unusually
heaitny' transportation to market both by
steam and sail; the waters also contain great
nulnpers of fish and oysters that are unsur-
passed. In fact this is one of the most de-
sirable portions of the State, and all it lacks
is men Of enterprise. SO all who want to
be among the first to develop a new change
of things and be among the first to reap the
advantages, say come on. Northern en-
terprise has already set in, yet there is room
for more.
With the desire to see us once more re-
united and happy people, remain
Yours, &C., U. S. l.. II. Il.

HORSE ,RACE.-The lovers of this

manly sport had refreshing time on Thurs
day last. Several horses were entered on
the Warwick course, and some mott very
heavy wagers were laid. Mr.. VIM. Boul.
denis mare and Mr.. Samuel Gillespie $
horse were the principal contestants. The
race was decided in favor Of the horse
There were also several other trotting match
es, the same day, between horses of some of
the Elktonians and those Of the neigtbor-
hood of Warwick, in which the latter came
off victorious.

REDUCTION OF THE ARMIEs.-The order
for the immediate discharge of all troops
whose time of service expires by October l,
will not reduce to any extent the size of our
armies: After it has gone into effect the
Fifth Corps ulone will have some fourteen
or fifteen thousand men left. Such being
the case fresh order in regard to the dis
charge of troops may be looked for if it is
the intention of the Government to cut
down the military forces to one hundred or
one hundred and fifty thousand men.
