PRISON LIFE OF JEFFERSON DAVIS

Although we have seen copious extracts
from DIR. CRAvEN's work, in the Northern
papers, during the past two weeks, we have
deferred a regular notice till we should re-
ceive tho book ITSELF Mr.. JOHN RUSSELL
sent us copy yesterday. We at once sat
down and eagerly devoured it. To say it is
as interesting as novel were to do it gross
injustice; for no novel ever written exercised
such O fascination as must this little unpre o
tending volume upon every Southern reader,
and, in fact, upon readers of every creed and
cline, not blinded by sectional hatred and
bigotry. Truth is stranger than fiction.
The work is inscribed to Secretary HUGH
McCULLocH, sfwho first of all our North ern
public men has had the wisdom, magnanimity
and courage to express sympathy for the mis-
fortunes Of the. subject of our memoir, by a
visit to MIR. DAVIS in his cell at Fortress
Monroe"
In the introductory chapter, DR.. CRAVEN
gives very pleasing account of his encoun-
ter, at Bermuda Hundreds, with the 'srebel'
General WALKER, of General BEAuREGARp's
staff; dressed his wounds, amputated his leg,
and saved his life. He concludes the account
by saying "He remained at once my guest
and patient, until sufficiently restored for safe
transfer to the general hospital at Fortress
Monroe, and is now hopping around the earth
somewhere, blithe and hearty, on the leg
that is left him, perfectly willing to be recon-
strueted, in more senses than one.n En- pas.
SAINT, we would inform DR.. CRAVEN that his
quondam patient is now resident of this
city, and has not forgotten the acts of kind
ness and humanity here referred to.
MIR. DAVIS arrived at Fortress Monroe Nav
10, 1866; landed on the 22d, and was ironed
on the 23d. DR.. craven first saw him pro.
fessionally on the 24th, and was his sole meai.
cal attendant from that time till December 25.
1865. With the exception of the facts mar.
rated in tho first chapter, as having occurred
prior to his connection with Mr.. DAVIS. he
records nothing save what he saw and heard
himself. The narrative is simple, of course

reading.
The spirit of the work is highly commend
able, and reflects the greatest credit on the
authors heart. An anti-slavery man all his
life, and q Republican from tho very inception
of that party,-Dr. CRAVEN proves himself
true to the noblest instincts of humanity, in
SO thoroughly divosting himself of the prcju-
dices of q lifetime, and publishing this book
in the teeth of his fierce brethren of tho Rad
ical press and party. Tho book has boon
very we'll received almost everywhere, and it
is only such ultra sheets as FoRNEY's Chroni-
Gle, CARL ScHURzs Post, and others of that
ilk, that are lost to all sense of shame and do
cency,-who carp and pretend to sneer at
this spontaneous exhibition of good feeling
in manner that can rebound only disgrace
on their own heads, and on the head of their
| entire faction.
The chapter giving minute account of the
facts and circumstances attending the 'shack-
ling" of the illustrious prisoner, forms one of
| the most thrilling narratives in all history
There is nothing like it in the vast domain
of fiction. This modest tale, brief, simple
and unadorned, will stand as lasting memo
rial of disgrace against the authors and abet.

In our next issue we shall publish this
chapter, and we feel assured that the cry of
"shame, shame,"-wrung from DAVIS in the
agony of his sdeeply-wounded manhood, will
be re-echoed with strangely earnest empha-
sis from the heart and soul of every reader.
The book before us is beautifully printed
in the old English type, now so fashionable
And while we were reading about the "black-
smith," tho illusion gradually stole over us
that we were perusing q chronicle of the bar

remembered our mistake. Illustrious state
prisoners in those days were not "shackled"
The donjon keep was deemed sufficiently Sc
cure even for RICHARD OF THE LION HEART.
NAPOLEON was prisoner on the rocky isle,
under no gentle gaolors, but he was not
shackled. 1t was reserved for these apostles
of liberty and higher.law christianity, in this
second half of the nineteenth century, to rivet
iron fetters ON helpless, feeble old man,
worn almost to skeleton by years of disease
and bodily suffering. This, too, in the strong

the least shadow of o prospect of any effort

FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 90, 1866.
TIE GOLD EXPORT.

Our readers of all classes, we are satisfied,
look every morning with some anxiety at the
New York gold quotations,in order to see the
fluctuations of this great standard Of value,
and to make up their minds whether it will
soon be up to 200 or fall to 125. AS tho price
of every mans food is to be, in measure,
regulated by this rise or fall, it is quite natu-
raj that oil should feel some interest in re-
gard to SO vital matter. The New York
Tribune, in noticing the fact, which perh APPS
is without precedent in commercial history,
that we had exported some forty millions in
gold in about six weeks, says that "all bust
ness seems to be chaos" and that prudent
merchants find it hard to buy at q safe com :
mission Or sell at a safe profit. The writer
advocates tariff on the expectation of specie
to put stop to the immense golden DIRE fits
which are now being sent to Europe. The
following table, which we copy from q New
York paper, gives the specie exports for the
past week; also from the 1st of January to
the 23d of the present month, and for the
same period for q series of years. 1t will be
found of much interest:

The Washington Chronicle bestows the
following well-deseryed eulogy upon the
Representative of the Toledo district in
the House of Representatives
General Ashley has the good fortune to
enjoy the confidence and respect of his
EXTREMIST party ad~verssries, while to his
associates he is endeared by his warm,
generous, and intrepid nature. He is one
Of the men who boldly maintain what
they believe, and never count the cost OF
adherence to the truth. Originally a
Democrat General Ashley carries his
Democratic ideas into earnest and con-
slant hatred of oppression of every kind
and degree. Chased among the foremost
of the radical wing, he has ever been one
of the most devoted and faithful champi-
ons of radical ideas, and will run a square,
open race, upon a record that has not a
dodge in it to explain, or q blot to be
ashamed of. Ashley has q close district
and the C~opperheads expect to beat him.
Last election he was beaten on the home
vote by Rice, Democrat 9l9; but he
was saved by the soldiers, who gave him
1, T46 majority. His opponents claim that
a good many Of the ~"chivalry' have
moved into his district from the South,
and that these, with a good yell against
his radical votes, are expected to leave
him out. But if he does not give them a
sounder thrashing than ever, it WILDE be-
cause he has lost his health or withdraws
from the track"

strength in Ohio. His record as a soldier
is a brilliant and a spotless one, and will
contrast most favorably with that of the
Democratic nominee, whose chief exploit,
during his connection with the service,
was in inducing his company to vote solid
for Vallandigham. The columns of his
paper give daily evidence that he is rad

beyond the reach of Islander. As alaw-

FALSE REPORT CORRECTED.
The statement in some of the Ohio pa
pers that Messrs. Bingham, Spalding and
Delano are candidates to succeed Judge
Wilson as District Judge in Northern
Ohio is, SO far as Mr.. Bingham at least is
concerned, wholly without foundation.
He is moi even advised that any change
is to be made, and of course never con-
sented TO such a use Of his name.
THE CAPTURED FENIASs.
Sir Frederick Bruce, the British Minis
ter, hadalong interview Monday with See
rotary Seward. and it is said asked that
this Government might surrender to the
Canadian authorities the Fenians captured
by the gunboat Michigan. The request
was not complieAEith, as it had not then
been decided wREPcoursethe Government
would pursue in disposing Of those that
fell into our hands. 1t is regarded as
most probable that they will be turned
over to the civil authorities for trial for
a violation of the neutrality laws.
THE MAY STATEMENT OF THE PUBIC
DEBT.
Contrary to general expectations, the
May statement Of the public debt was not
given out for publication to-day. Its
general features, however, can be briefly
slated. 1t will show a large decrease in
the principal of the debt, and an increase
of about Sls,000,O 900 in currency on hand,
making the amount subject to draft about
$50, OO0, 900, against SOL, 900, goo last
month. 1t will also exhibit d decrease. of
about $40, 500, 900 in the coin balance, as
compared with that Of April. The total
Of geld now on hand is about $40, 900, 0O0,
including about S+,000,0O0 of gold GER
tiacates of deposit.
oVR owN GOVERNMENT ANDTHE FENIANs.
In connection with the Fenian move
ments, il is enormously stated in newspa-
per correspondence from this city hat the
Secretary of State directs the movements
of our Government officials that through
the State Department the British Minis
ter Was posted as TO the projected Fenian
demonstration now doing on, and that
Mr.. Seward could not be tempted to de-
part from his determination to enforce
the ~strictest neutrality, &c. The fact
is that Mr.. Seward does not control the
mutter NJ all. Legitlmately the direct
control Of the action of our Government
officials in arresting or checking warlike
movements within III own territory
against d Government within our own
territory against Il Government with
which we are at peace, rests with the At
torney-General, who through the District
Attorneys instructs the United States
Marshals. The military arm is only
called in in aid Of the MarShals. Some

is in no way responsible for any acts of
