Southern Version of the Capture of
Davis

Southern Version Of the Capture of
Davis.
Lieutenant Elsan, Of Company K,
Twentyfourth Texas cavaky, was With
MIR. Davis when he was captured, and
has kindly recouhted to us. the details
of the affair. From his narrative we
derive the following:
Mr.. Davis, Judge Reagan, Colonel
Lubbock and Colonel johnson were
en- route to Texas, expecting to con-
time the struggle here. Mrs. Davis
and family were travelling towards
Florida With . view of running the
blockade from the Florida coast. 1t
was Mrs. Davis intention to take the
Children to England and then to rejoin
her husband in Texas. where they
hoped to proiract the struggle.
Lieutenant EIsan was one Of the
guard OF Mrs. Davis party. They
were in Wilcox County, Georgia,
May 7, when the President joined
them. They travelled together that
day. On the morning of the 9th he
parted from them for Texas, OH horse
back. After travelling twenty miles
he learned that baud of jayhawkers
had been organized to p'under TIE
party left behind of their train.
Anxiety for the safety of his family
induce him to remain till they came
up, which they did on the evening of
the 9Th.
They travelled in company on the
OH. and all camped together that
night. Meanwhile, the Fourth Mi:hi
gan 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 pursuer~ rode
all night, at dayb-eak on the morning
OF the 10ih surprised the encampment
snd captured :he whole party .withou.
firing a 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 few steps when n cavalry
man rode up, and p.esenting hiS gun
to him, cried out, I know YOU, You
old scoundrel; have seen you before;
surrender" Git 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 H.. Colonel Pritchard,
tire COMMANDER Of the parspiuc
cavalry. now rode NJ, and assured ner
he should not be hurt.
From this time the party was treat
ed with marked po'iteness. They
were taken to Macon, Mrs Davis beinr
allowed all her transportation except
an ambulance, which was taken f,i
so.ne of the wounded.
Lieutenant El~an says the entire
amount Of specie the party had with
them was about $1,000. OF this
Mrs. Davis had $4,000, her own
private funds, Mr.. d VIZ alb ~, 81 400,
which he carried IN his holsters.
and the balance belonged to Judge
Reagan and the balance Of the rar y.
