JEFF. DAVIS IN PRLsON-From Richmond went
down the James river to fortress Monroe. On the
way objects of interest pointed out-fort Dar-
ling, Buffers Dutch gap canal, Harrison's landing,
city point Jamestown-the first white settlement in
the new world Newport News, etc. Upon introduc-
ton, I obtained pass to enter the fortress where
had not been many hours when met the great rebel
chief jeff Davis face to face while he was taking his
usual daily walk the rampars under the escort of
officer by his side and two armed soldiers behind
him; and bad good view of him as he passed me.
He was well dressed, had lghtcoored felt hat and
new boots His eye clear and bright, his step
firm, and his bearing as proud Roman conquerer
He is indulged in this recreation every day. and is ap
parenty cheerful and free from care. During these
walks he frequently rectes scraps of Latin and Greek
poetry. He is privileged with the use of the fine
library of the fortress and is permitted to write of
course under inspection of the commanding officer
He is great smoker, and when in his apartment
employs his time in writing, reading and praying
Alternately he is very quiet aud pous, and restiye and
bosterous He freely expresses his opinions about
the generals and leaders on both sides. lie thinks
Mcclellan our greatest general and SAYS Grant is
soldier nothing but butcher; Lincoln was good
natured man, but iackass Andrew johnson is pretty
smart and inclined to do the fair thing so far as he
can but he is not great man. He thinks his capture
very unjust, he fairly paroled by the sur
render of Lee and Johnson, and saws that if he had
any idea of being taken he could easily have made his
escape. He was terribly enraged at what Foote, of
Mississippi said of him, and declared that Foote was
a constitutional ar"-that he had often told him
so ;" said he glad when be made his escape from
the Conederacy and that he gave orders to let him
60, and not to stop him" adding, " was glad to get
rid of such a nuisance"
'The duke of Marlborough" jeff says, deserted
