} eff. Davis Cloak and ShawI-TheJ
are Presented to the War Department


} eff. Davis Cloak and .ShawI-They
are Presented to the War Department.
Col. Pritchard, of the 4th Michigan cav
airy, presented to the War Department on
Thursday morning the water proof cloak
and shawl worn by Jefferson Davis at the
time of his capture by that gallant and Wig
liant officer. In reply to an inquiry of the
Secretary of War, Col. Pritchard said he
did not see the cloak upon jeff, but that he
was told by his men aud Mrs. Davis had
said 10 his presence that il was worn by jeff
at the time of his capture as a skirt for the
purpose of disguise. The Colonel further
stated that the cloak was claimed by Mrs.
Davis, after her husband bad been taken by
the 4th Michigan, and was worn by her
during the voyage. The shawl, he said,
was worn by jeff. as a hood, having been
thrown over his head to conceal the mascu-
line appearance of the arch traitors face.
Upon the Colonel being laughingly asked
if he could not give an idea as to how the
shawl was worn, he replied that he really
could not, as he had never attempted to per-
senate a lady. He stated that under these
articles of female apparel, Davis wore a full
suit ofdrab and pair of cavalry boots, his
pants inside of the boots. Colonel Pritch-
ard also transferred to the Department the
colors of the l 50th Pennsylvania volunteers,
found in the baggage of the fugacious party !,
and which, no doubt, were being borne
away as trophies of the defunct rebellion.
Among the spectators of this interest
ing scene we've Senators Wilson of Massa-
chusetts, and Foote of Vermont; Governor
Fenton, Of New York; Assistant Adiutant
Generals Townsend aud Nichols: Major
EckeFt, Superin dent OF Military Telegraphs,
&c. In response to the questions pro-
pounded TO him by the persons present,
Colonel Pritchard said that COR the first three
days ate the capture, JEFF. appeared down
cast and gloomy, but that he then became
quit buoyant; that when he was separated
from his wife, the later at first took it very
hard, but finally became perfectly quiet, and
did not shed tear; that from the first Mrs.
Davis manifested a great deal of indignation,
vas very sarcastic, aud embarrassed the
the captors as much as possible. Mrs Clay
the Colonel stated was ebually defiant,
and counseled that blood be shed before the
articles of which he was the bearer should
be delivered up.
The Secretary of War, in the name of the
people and of the President returned thanks
to Colonel Pritchard for the gallantry and
activity exhibited by him in the pursuit of
the great criminal of the age, remarking
that upon the receipt of his report, the re
ward offered for the apprehension of Davis
would be distributed to the men who were
properly entitled TO it and a medal of honor
awarde5t to each one who participated In the
capture.

A French actress, whose youth and
beauty appeared inexhaustble-on the
bosrds-neyer would tell her age. OF
course the more she wouldn't tell it the
more curious people were to know it. A
woman can't keep secret! She kept that.
By good luck, as the multitude thought,
she was summoned as a witness on a trial.
The gossIps rubbed their hands and chuck
led. "Aha! we shall know it now. She
must tell or go to prison; she asiI, there
fore, tell.'
The court was crowded with open cared
listeners. In French courts of justice the
witness does not stand in a box to give
evidence, but sits on a stool in the middle
of the hoor of the court, in front of the
Presidents desk, and with no barrier or
separation between it and himself.
The lady was usbered in, raised her
right hand to heaven. took the oath to speak
the truth, and seated herself on the wit
ness stool.
"Your name?' asked the President.
"Angelique ToujoursHeurie. -

whispered the secret in his ear. He nodded,
made the entry in his private notes, and
smiling, continued the rest of his interoga-
tory as soon as she had resumed her place
on the sellette.
The public retired with feelings of min
gled disgust and admiration. The tria
had lost all further interest; and the Presi-
dent was knowned to be a man of honor
and gallantry, who would never let a pretty
woman's cat escape from his Presidential

Geo. Todd, just before be was killed,

shot passing through his neck. He bled 70

as the Cd Colorado Cavalry; as be himself

they always charged and got among them.

scarce in camp. 1t was procured by the
farmers from town 10 small quantities at q
time, and seon.deyoured.
The plan mapped out for this season, if
the war had continued, was. 10 enter Kansas
from the south and west, with 100 picked
men. led by Quantrell and 81 Gordon, to
carry destruction on as wide track as pos
sible. and escape into Missouri. where they
would break up into small bands as before.
