Davis "a Dying Man."

Mr.. Kelley returned to the city yesterday
morning. We do not feel at liberty to give
any detailed account of the interview, but
it must prove of interest to our readers to
know of the health and manner of life of
their former leader and fellow-captive. The
gentlemen arrived at the fortress before the
breakfast hour on Tuesday morning last,
and were Immediately shown into tthe case
mate occupied by Mrs. Davis. After some
time the prisoner came in, bowed, emaciatcd
blind and tottering along with the help of
cane, as if the years of century had
passed over him. A perfect wreck physic-
ally, his mind is said to retain all its clear
ness, and the conversation at the breakfast
table, which turned upon political literature,
was marked by a brilliancy which, remarked
our informant, was all the more appealing
for being subducd and chastened His spir-
its. were good-that is, no melancholy or
lack of Interest in general subjects was APP
parent, and no word came from his lips evinc-
ing disposition to murmur, or regret that
he should now be suffering for q cause which
is lost. 1T is best as il is, said he emphat-
ically "Ncither power or success could
have taught me as has this suffering. Only
these circumstances could have made me
the man | am" Being asked if it were not
possible that his weakness of body had eX-
a lassitude which he mistook for resignation,
he quickly responded, "No; my mind was
never more clear and strong than now"
Upon all the political questions of the day
he spoke unrcservedly and plainly, but
without bitterness, and was peculiarly fer
vid in expression concerning the kindness
shown himself and family by his people.
His quarters are comfortable, but his life
necessarily monotonous, as he reads with
difficulty, and is not strong enough for much
exercise. Mrs. Davis is with him. OF the
mission to Washington we can say nothing
for the best Of reasons, not even knowing
whether an official interview was obtained.
One deduction from what we have heard
we cannot restrain, that Imprisonment fast
brings the illustrious victim TO that state in
which the things of this world seem as moth
ingness. His enemies are preparing his
character, chisselling it to that perfect pro-
portion which makes great events and whole
peoples, in history, cluster around and seem
secondary TO the man of the age. Radical
ism is making greater than Washington of
this dying man. PoterSJpuy (Fd) hdcr.
