THE HEALTH OF MR.. DAVIS.
A correspondent of tie Philadelphia Inquire
writes from Fortress Monroe:

A correspondent of tie Philadelphia Inquirer
writes from Fortress Monroe:
Informed you three weeks ago that JEFF Davis
was then in better health than he was when he left
tie Cl, de, on the 22d of May last reiterate that
statement TO day. His appetite is good, his diet
such as is prescribed by his physician, and his
lease on life, as far as bodily intrmitiea CO. Is
stronger now th an il was the day Richmond FELL
His ey, sight is lust as II was when he was IN
Washington, six years ago, the sight of one eye
being then apparently gone, an that oil tine other
much impaired. We remember that 10 those days
II was generally said among the hd6ttues OF tue
Senate gallery that Senator Davis, OF Mississippi,
was "bilnd OF an eye" And we remember seeing
him, when be had the war portfolio under Pierce,
and then he wore green goggles to protect his
weak and impaired vision. During his arduous
career as the chieflain Of the rebellion, his half
blinded eyes had not much chance for improve
ment. During his peaceful prison life hrs sight
has somewhat improved.
At shutdown last evening JEFF. was allowed to
parts of the fort Major General Miles walked on
one side of him, and the Off ser OF the guard on
the other. Davis leaned on the arm OF neither,
wa ked alone firm and erect, and very unlike an
invalid. he paused some time near the l6.inch
gun mounted en- barbette and scanned its huge
proportions with careful admiration, though ne
spoke not word The evening was particularly
fine, and Davis seemed to eajOy the quiet sunset
scene. always beautiful in this region. He VS.
clad in full suit of fine grey; head was COW
cred with very broad.rimmed, light & ey felt
hat, and he wore green cog sles over his eyes,
HIS cheeks are covered with q leard OF light
growth, altering tie appearance of his face very
much from that usually presented n his pho %
graphs, where he appeas with but tuft OF hair
on his chin.
This out.d exercise was not accorded to
Davis because { any critical state OF his health,
bat was discussed and prescribed weeks ago. to
lake effect In this sultry 10 m. The sea breezes
ale becoming rare here now, and the weather Is
intensely su,try. The outdoor exercise Ia grant
ed to Davis to keep up his vigorous health, not
10 restore failing or broken down physique.

held in the city OF nichmond on the 18th inst.

the ground Of having lost their res dence by rea-
son o. their absence as sold ers in the United
States Army during the Rebellion, when no such
grounds were tai en- as against soldiers absent In
the Rebel Army; and whereas, with but few ex.
ceptions all Of the officers elected at sid muni
pal election have been prominent and cOnspic-
uOus in inlugurating end sustaining the Rebel
lion and whereas, the Issue was distinctly made
and oVenly avowed at said election, as between
those men who had al ded and sbetted In the war
aga INST the United States authority, and those
who with their lives defended the Flag Of our
Country
Therefore, justice to the thousands who have
fallen on the battlefield or by diseae, In their
efforts TO put do Tn this Rebellion and to those
who are now returning to their homes 10 this Dis.
trct after four years OF suffering toll prvations
and dangers incurred 10 fighting tire 'son, demands
that these persons who were so lately contributing
all their efforts to sustain treason and overthrow
this Government should not be installed into Of
flee and en- rusted with power.
Hence il is hereby declared that the United
States military authorities Of this city Will regard
the said municipal election held in this city on
the 70 n inst. as null and void excepting only
the elect on of the Gle k # the Hastings Court,
end each and every person elected to office, ex.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

The New York Tribune says, "the reason why
brakes Plantation Bltters are so universally used
ind have such an immense sale, is that they are
always made mp to the original standard, of
highly invgorating material and of pure quality,
although the prices have 80 largely advanced
etc.
The Tribune just hits the nail on the head
The Plantation Bitters are not only made Of pure
material but the people are told what 1t is. The
Recipe is published around each bottle, and the
bottles are not reduced in size. At least twenty
limitations and counterfeits have sprung up
They impose upon the people once and that's the
last of them.
The Plantation Bitters are now used in all
the Government Hospitals, are recommended by
the best physicians and are warranted 10 pro.

Teleeraphic DISPATCHES.

We will say to the readers of the Press
that, in connection with the other morning
papers of this city, we are doing all that is
reasonably possible TO secure regular, or if not
the regular, at least full and reliable dispatch
es for our columns, without submitting to un-
just exactions, or any monopoly against which
an independent press should always rebel. 4
We are not without hope that the "sobel
second thought" of our Boston contempora
ries will satisfy them, that nothing is to be
gained to them personally, certainly nothing
to their city, by infaming the bad feeling al
ready too rife in this State against what is re-
garded as the unkind and overbearing spirit
which sometimes crops out in their midst
Our business people, not of this city simply
but OF the State, are fast getting into their
heads the idea that business can be done lie.
tween our State and New York to quite a.
good advantage, to say the least, as between
here and Boston, and the feeling is fast ripen-
ing whose fruit is to be shown in the form O.
more direct routes and greater facilities far
trade between Maine and the Empire CITY. 2
We trust the Boston papers will not so "a,
stand in their own light az to fan the feeling
that is already running to this end. Justly OF
nnjusty our people feel jealous of Boston in
fuence. The" third raiw controversy is still
remembered, and the most amicable relations
between the papers of the two States will b
found no more influential than will be neces
sary to restore the feeling between Maine ani
the mother state that shonld never have beer
disturbed, and to make the people of 10th fee
that, in business point of view, they are, as
the Commercial Bulletin lately said, Gin the
same boat
Az any rate, we propose to submit TO nc
exacnon that we do not feel to be right and
just, and in taking this position we know thai
we have the sympathy of every true man in
this city; we think of the State. We demand
nothing that's not clearly right; we propose
to submit to nothing that is wrong.
