Monroe correspondent of the Boston Traveller
writes:
One of the privates of the goth Maine regiment
who settled in North Carolina after the close Of
the war, has reached here his way to Washing
ton to intercede for the pardon of MIR. Davis
having travelled on foot to Norfolk 1t seems
that he was found within the Confederate lines
captured, carried to headquarters, tried ant
: convicted of being spy, and sentenced to b
hung. He asked to be allowed to write to Mr.
Davis, and the request was granted. Having soms
doubts, however. of the intention of his captors
he bribed the waiter to take another letter, ant
through servant of the President it reached him
, The result was that messenger was dispatched
, with an order for the Yankee soldier to be takel
} Immediately to the Presidents house. Upon hi
arrival the guard was dismissed with an order t
return. 1t seems that while Mr.. Davis and wifi,
tarred at Portland. previous to the war, this sol
dier rendered Mr.. d. some service, which he ac
quilted by saving the life of the soldier. Now th
latter is on his way to inercede for his defverer
