This subject is ono of considerable
Importance now, and will be of moro
consequence hereafter. We copy
from the Greenville Mountziacer n re-
port from VIM. Henry Trescot, made
TO Gov. Perry, in relation tothe action
of Congress and the military on the
subject; from which the reader will
derive much useful if not wholly salts
factory information. There are few
plantations which have been volnnta.
rily abandoned. Owners driven out
by shot and shell, or Shermanized,
are not to be assumed to have left
their property voluntarily, even
though they should have gone with a
will. ''Needs must when the devil
drives" and the most tenacious pro-
prietor in the world will fly when the

THE PRISONERS. tone of the
following extracts, which we take
from the Philadelphia Inquirer, is
mean and brutal, but the facts If
they be facts-willa6nt the South
ern reader. It is very shocking to
think that, in this or any age, the
press of a great city, like Philadel-
phia, should speak in such insolent
manner of q crushed but eminent cap
tive-no matter what his offence:
jeff Davis has been unable to take
his outdoor exercise for several days
past, on account of carbuncle on one
of his legs. Davis has, for years, been
subject to these painful eruptions,
and asserts that they arc not oc-
casioned by his confinement. jeff.
has become quite cheerful and COM
municative. He fully appreciates the
mild regime to which he is now sub
jected. Several volumes of the Eng
lish classics are now allowed him, an
occasional paper, and pen, ink and
paper. He writes letters, of course,
enclosed to the Secretary of War.
Whom jeff favors with epistolary
communications is known only to Mr..
Stanton and his confidential clerk.
''Letters to JEFF. are of frequent oc-
currence. Those who send them may
as we'll save their stationery ands
stamps, to say nothing of the labor of
writing. No letters are allowed J. d.
Gen. Miles becomes their custodian.
Their contents are pcruscd,by the re-
ticent young General, and then pack
ed away, and he to whom they are
addressed is not even aware of their
existence.

To His ErceNency Andre,o johnson,
President Of the United States.
We, the undersigned, ladies of Alb
beville District, South Carolina, re-
spectfuly exhibit to your Exccllency
our desire % intercede in behalf Of
Mr.. Jefferson Davis, the President of
the late Confederate States. We have
heard with much satisfaction that Pc
titions of like nature have. been ad-
dressed to your Excellency from othef
portions of the country; and we enter
tain the hope that these united ap-
peals for mercy will not fall unheeded
upon the ears of your Excellency.
In any event, it will be grateful to
us to have thus testified our feelings
for one whose faults, in our Judgment
at least, have not been past for
giveness. Called from the retirement
of his home to position which he did
not solicit, but which his manhood
forbade him to decline, illustrating
by his conduct the highest devotion
to principles, which were maintained
with marked unanimity by his people,
temperate in the hours of triumph,
dignitied and calm in the days of de-
feat, always just, always generous,
always brave, we see in his conduct
everything to evoke sympathy, and
nothing to merit the extreme punish
ment with which he is threatened.
Tho como Srr,oo-. o,,l oo1,,o ,-:, =
policy which, on repeated occasions,
he displayed in resisting the cries
which, IN his region, were raised for
sanguinary retaliation, We hope will
now be exhibited, in disregard of the
unfeeling agitation which seeks his
life. We hope there will be a merciful
remembrance of his poor wife, plum
'dered and insulted after being torn
away from his prison, and of his
young children, whose prospects in
life have been so terribly blighted.
lmpelled by the feelings Of our na-
ture-which are ever excited by the
misfortunes of the brave and the good,
which have, in all ages characterized
our sex, which moved the Marys to be
the last at the Cross and the first ut
the grave-we earnestly beseech your
Excellency to exercise, in behalf of
Nrs Davis, all Executive clemency.
Grant our petition, and, besides find
ing in your own breast the reward
which attends every virtuous decd, we
sincerely believe that you mays expect
increase of your own renown, and of
the honorable character which forms
tho strength of your country. For
ourselves we will say, we will hold in
grateful remembrance this act of ge-
nerosity to the unfortunate, and will
teach our children ''to rise tp and
call you blessed.
