An Interview with Mr.. and Mrs. Jer.
ferson Davis.
From Me Richmond Examiner.

We have been handed private let
| ter, dated Fortress Monroe, May 26,
| from which the writer, who has the
entTee of the Fortress, has permitted us
| to Gull some facts touching an Interview
with Mr.. Davis, that prisoner of Chi
lon," whose liberty is contracted by the
! bounds of the strong Fortress, that for
! more than a year has held the distin.
| guished gentleman prisoner, guarded
| by strong doors, bolts and bars, and the
array of Thousand bayonets. The
gentleman writes that on "Wednesday
last he enjoyed long and interesting
| interview with Mrs. Davis, who on
| Thursday accompanied him on visit
| TO Jefferson Davis quarters, He found
| him quite feeble, but he arose from his
| couch, whereon he reclined, and re-
| ceived his visitor very cordiallyi e&-
| said he recollected him i'll Washington,
and inquired for old friends. They had
| a long talk together. His visitor OBJ
| served him closely, and found his feat
ures much changed resem-
bling any of the pictures of him now
extant. The gentleman, who is an ar
| tist, had some conversation in regard o
publishing a picture of Mr.. Davis, TO
| complete the set of Lee and Stonewall
4 jackson, but Mr.. Davis shook his head,
and declined TO sit for his portrait,
| The writer further states that he is
| privileged to furnish Jefferson Davis
| with any newspaper that he may de-
sire TO receive. The Norfolk papers are
| furnished him through his agency, and
any others will be given the same di-
rectfon when sent TO his address, as all
matters of this description go through
! his hands. Mrs. Davis Joined with Mr..
1 Davisin the request for some of the
! the Fortress accorded to him, aud in
The enjoyment of the company OF Mrs.
| Davis, the ex-President can now ex-
perience the luxury of reading without
! having it selected for him by the prison
officials.
The proprietors of any. Southern
| nish Mr.. Davis with copies ofthe same,
can do SO by sending them to sc. BONN,
| Fortress Monroe"

"SArAN WILL sooS APPEAR IN Your

announcement were posted on all the
"dead walls" in Charleston, one night
last week. The news created some un-
easiness,-but the editor of the Courier
seems to preserve his equanimity. He
says:
ssThe placard is behind the time and
behind the truth. Satan is already

An Amusing BIunder.

One of the many penny-a.liners who live by
writing lies from Washington for the Black Repu6-
liCan newspapers of the North and West is guilty
of the following, in describing panel in one Of
the new bronze doors at the capitol The historic
incident designed to be illustrated Is that memo.
rable one, known to every school-boy in the coun-
try, wherein Washington rebuked Gen. Charles
Lee for his ill-timed prudence u at the battle of
Monmouth. Charles Lee, as is well known was
an eccentric foreigner, who had fought in the ar.
mics OF Europe and afterwards took up arms in
this country, against his former sovereign, more
in anger towards him than from any love for the
colonies He was suspended from command and
sentenced to receive reprimand from Washing
ton, for his conduct at Monmouth. He died some
years after the war in Philadelphia.
The metropolitan scmbber, confounding him
with the celebrated Virginia patriot Light Horse
the father of Robert 3. Lee, could not forego the
opportunity which, as he supposed, was afforded
to throw contempt upon both Jefferson Davis and
General Lee, remarking that
" The singular thing about this particular panel
Is that Jet' DAVIS was one OF the commissioners to
