JeG Davis Place of confinement.

New YORK, May 23-The Herald's S
Fortress Monroe correspondent says: The
immediate place of confinement of JEFF
Davis will be in the casamates, which are
rock-ribbed and arched mansions within
shc fort, each well nighconstituting fort
within itself. On the arches of these
casemates are mounted 15-inch Redman
guns. The only connections from the
Fort with the mainland are by the main
sally-port and a small postern in one of
the bastions, the wet ditch being spanned
at each of these points by aw-bridge,
which can be raised at pleasure, thus cut
ting off all communication.

Stanton and Halleck did their utmost
to break down General Sherman on ao-
count Of his celebrated Johnston treaty.
They thought then that Sherman was de-
graded in the estimation Of the Govern
ment and the people.
Stanton illuminated long Official bullet
ins against him. and Halleck repeatedly
insulted him. The latter even went SO
far as to direct his guards not to allow
Sherman right wing the use of the pom
toons at Richmond to cross James,
when on their way to Washington. This
spiteful order was obviated by General
Howard, who commanded the wing, qui-
city removing Halleoka 3 guards and sub
stituting bis own.
Now their eyes are opened. General
Sherman is not degraded BY the Govern
ment, and in the estimation Of the people
he stands higher than could score OF
Stantous and Halleeks. What do these
tools now? Why the man. who can be
tyrant can be toady; and finding they
could not break Sherman down, they try
to conciliate him by toadyism. Halleck
writes him obsequious letters, very friend
" and very apologetic. Stanton has
squad of his toadies trying to reconcile
Sherman. Sherman is just man enough

FoRTREss MONROE, May 23.-At II
o'clock this afternoon, the steamer Silas
o. Pierce left Baltimore wharf, at this
place, with Breyet Major General Miles,
accompanied by other officers of promi-
nence, proceeded Immediately to the
steamer William -H--Llyde, at anchor in
the stream, with JEFF Davis and the re-
mainder of the rebel party on board.
An hour, perhaps, sufficient to give the
departing rebels time to take a long fare
we'll of friends and dear ones was award
ed them. The harbor, which usually is
crowded with all kinds and classes of
vessels, to-day looked almost deserted
scarcely dozen sail could be counted.
In short time after the Pierce reached
the wharf, and tho prisoners began to
| land. Such were the arrangements SO
strictly enforced by the military authori-
ties, that no person was allowed to ap-
proach the wharf where the prisoners
were landed, except at a distance of over
five hundred yards. and the prisoners
marched up the wharf, preceded by a
guard of their captors of the 4th Michi-
gan Cavalry. The tall, spare form of
Jeff Davis. dressed in gray clothes, and
wearing light felt hat, could be easily
discerned.
AS soon as the prisoners were all ashore,
they were marched up along the beach to
the sallyport of the water battery in the
rear of the Fortress; thence to cells in
the second tier of the casemates. G. 9.
Clay accompanied Jeff Davis inside the
Fortress, and also the supposed largest

remain on board the steamer Clyde. 1t is
! thought they will be sent South this eve-
ming, as orders have been received from
the War Department prohibiting them
from going North.
The parting between Jeff Davis and
his family is described as of an extremely
affecting nature, during which the feelings
of thesonce ambitious and desperate rcb-
ell leader were completely overcome.
Maj. Gen. Halleek has been here dur
