Our reasons for discrediting the story

Our reasons for disoretiiting the story
OF Jeh. Davis's attempt 10 escape IN dis,
Euise are these frst the absence of
apy1evIdence OF It's truth second, its III.
cungruity with Duvis's personal charac-
ter; 'hrird and chiefly, the fact that Golo.
bel PrItchard, whose lame nssorated
with the story hns given it ali the credit
1t ever mad with amy one, has been max
ing speeches frequently since his arrival
North. IN one of which he has in the
most distant manner alluded 10 the dis-
guIse. On the contrary, in private as
we are lliiornied on the best possible au-
tnoritv, lie speaks OF the story, hut as

Besides this disclaimer of actual

are informed, and believe, that t;he cap
tain OF the gunbuat which brought lim
to Fortress Monroe reports Colonel
Prtchard RS having told him repeatedly
thai there WAS moi word. OF truth in
the story, but some people thought il
necessary to keep it up. Mr.. Davis
was but party dressed when the party
rushed IN He surrendered promptly
and with dignity, saying tliat he was un.
armed. When abot;t 10 be removed
Mrs. Dnvis threw or handed him the
water r-proof wineh he wore till nut on

The store SO diecreditable to our sol.
diers who were represented in this
same current narrative Of the affair as
having bulied and abused Mr.. DAVIS, Is
equally false They took no such ad-
vantage Of their power. but, on the con.
trary, simply made it impossible for him
10 escape, and then treated him as brave
Holdiers woald and should treat a fallen
Zoe.
This we believe to be the truth ofthe
matter, and we certainly do not consid-
er the fact that Secretary Stanton has
sent Mrs. Davis qypa Sentusa to the
Chicago fair to prove that Mr.. Davis at.
tempted TO escape in disguise, anysmore
than we should consider il proof If he
