..FoRTnEsa MONROE, May 4.-Mrs. Jeff Davis has
taken up her! quarters inside the fort She re-
NAMED there last night, having previously sent for
her baggage and man servanS. DR.. Cooper, post
medical attendant of Mr. Davis, has given her
apartments in the house occupied by himself and
famliSi ghe,Doctor, it will be remembered, is not
only t4e medical adviser Of Mr.. Davis, but also
1prnishes him bis meals from his own table. Al
shongh entertaining no shadow Of sympathy for
mr Davis, az head and front Of tho late rebellion
he naturally feels deep professional interest in
MN; and, In th9 discharge Of his professional
duty, has been uhfaltering, jealous and faithful;
and TO his admirable skill and watchful care thore
can be no doubt that Mr.. Davis il immeasurshly
indebted hr what of health and vitality still re-
main to him. Holding such relations to Mr.
Davis furnishes all the explanation that need be
given of his receiving Mrs Davis as guest in mis-
family. As for Mrs. Davis, she may congratulate
herself that she has fallen into such hospitable
and considerate hands.
~ CONDITIONS OF MRS. DAVIS VISIT.
AS stated 10 my letter Of yesterday, Mrs. Davis
obtained permission to visit her husband direct
from President johnson. But the permission was
hberality or indulgence that greatly surprises
very many here. The restrictions are that she is
not 70 use any influence or contribute any aid to
than through the proper government channels.
The indulgence granted her admits her to uncon-
strained interviews with her husband, and at all
hour9 or the day between reyeille and sunset. 1t
s not enjoiped that officer shall he in the room
with them, neither is it forbidden. In the absence
OF suoh injunction, General Miles to-day allowed
her to visit her husband unattended by an officer
"A septineli however, walks back and forth contin-
uauy in front ,of the barred windows of his ROOM
Last, and not least, no limit is placed upon the
length Of her visit. @;'i." .'A:' :.';.i Il -
THE T1hE MRS. DAVIS PROPOSES 70 REMAIN,
In 'ansWer to q question how long she proposed
TO makeiher visit, Mrs, Davis said emphsticalIy
Il intend TO remain until Mr. Davis is ordered
away Tor trial, or he is released from prison or
DIES: And ehe fs q woman hf that dsataion nd
spirit that she will do what she says, unless some
tntermediate iRterdiction occurs TO prevent it.
She evidently has no such fears, and it is believed
enc knows too well the tenure Of her sojourn, to
allow herself to entertain any such apprehensions.
MR. DAVIS FUTURE AS LOOKED AT BY MRS. DAVIS.
IL 1s natural for women to be enthusiastic par
ticuiarly when their strongest affections and more
cherished hopes are interested. Mrs. Davis is
probably not an exception It is certain that she
1s enthusiastically hopeful regarding the future of
will very soon be released on his parole 1t is
possible that the wish IN her case is father to the
thought but she talks with that degree Of as
surance of the topic carrying conviction of a
stronger basis for the belief she expreeses than
idle surmises founded on deusive hope There
might be PERSONS she says who would like to
rescue Mr.. Davis from prison, but she scouts the
idea OF his accepting any'such release. He will
not go away from here, she declares unless in a
manner comportlng with his sense Of high honor;
and she claims for him punctilio of honor par
taking of the 'chivalry Of the old lights of the
medieval ages. On the subject Of parole she in
eists with equal emphasis, that he would sacrifice
his life before violating his parole.
