b An officer OH General Grants Staff,
who recently had an interview with the
Rebel ex-President, says that Jeff is
furious in his denunciation. of Hunter
and Stephens, whom he accuses of de-
liberately betrayiDg the Southern cause
into the hands of the Yankees. 9 Had
these two men," said jeff, represent
ing as they did the week-kneed, con-
sentative sentiment in the South, stood
firm, the Southern cause would have
triumphed." jeff appears to be per-
fectly Indifferent as sd 70 ms ia,g' but SUI

less care upon his mind and felt easier
than he did when he was President of

Mr.. GREELEY,S SYMPATHIES.--
last number of the New York Cettzen
contains some statements in regard 10
the charge made by "T. w, that IL.
IT," had maintained a correspondence
with certain relatives of Jefferson Davis.
The Citizen says:
Some time ago Mrs. Jefferson Davis
wrote very touching and truly wo-
manly letter to the editor of the Tribune,
thanking INN for his advocacy of civil
| over military tribunals in the cases OF
political offenders; complaining of the
| alleged ill-treatment of her husband, the
insuiilcient and unwholesome food given
TO him, his subsection to heavy letters,
| his being denied hours for open air eXer-
| else, and all the other absurd ISLANDERS OF
/ the same sort poured out by the fertile
correspondence of the Philadelphia IN
| gtiger. = f-"e a
TO this Mr.. Greeley replied, as any
gentleman must have replied to any
lady so unfortunate as to have husband
in such a sorry ease lie disabused her
mind of the false stories of ill-treattncnt
and priyation assured her that our gov
eminent was wholly incapable OF any
such mean malignity rs the reports III
question had libellously charged to ifs
account that Mr.. Davis had good ana
wholesome food, as much open-air eXer-
else as he needed, and thst-when last
reliably heard from-the health of her
husband was not only not worse, but
