Davis in Prison.

The editor Of the Abbovillc Banner
says the Corolinion, has been permit
ted by kind friend to make the fol-
lowing extracts from letter lately re-
ceived, which gives some true an in
tcrcsting information concerning the
President of the late Confederate
States.
The letter which was written with
out any idea Of publication, is in the
familiar style of friend deeply i'm
pressed with the truth of the sub
ject of which she writes, imparting in
almost every sentence sense of that
deep and fervid attachment which all
the women, and most of the men, of
the late Confederate States feel for
the illustrious captive
But to the extracts:
"My friend, Mrs. B. (Mr. Davis
nioce) wrote me she was going to For
tress Monroe, and invited me 20 join
her. Not receiving her letter in time
to meet her, we followed her to For
tress Monroe, and after some little
diplomacy got permission to enter,
and spend. the day (the 18th July.) We
had the happiness of seeing, listening
to and dining with our illustrious
President-illustrious by his misfor-
tunes, his talents, his high position and
his many virtues, which shine moro

We are glad to learn that President John

of the citizens of several southern States
towards the blacks, makes necessary the con-
tinued Ircsonce Of the army to carry cut the
provisions Of the Civil Rights bill and the
objects of the Freedmen's bureau, and that
the army in the South will not be disblnded
at present. II this be 50, the Southern
malcontents and their Northern allies mis-
interpreted the effect Of the Presidents late
Peace proclamation. They assumed that
the immediate consequence Of that procla-
ma tiUn, would be the withdrl wal Of the
Southern garrisons and the susIcn-
sion OF all military authority at tie South,
and they were inspirited thereby to increased
disloyaltv and malice But we are rejoIced
TO believe that they counted without their

arose between the two California Senators,
IN which the drunken McDougall charged
his colleague, Mr. Conness, with legisllt-
ing for his own private interests Mr.. Con-
ness cxcitcdly replied that Mr.. McDougall
was not in a condition to know what he was
doing, and that he was eonstantlya disgrace
to the Senate. Mr.. McDougal pronounced
tins "ialsehood' Mr. {. T,joined that
bis colleague dare not repeat that out Of the
Senate, to which the other rapping the desk
excitedly replied that he mould, and went on
to tell story SO filed with profanity and
obscene language that the chair interrupted
and silcnced him. The excuse offered for
McDougall by his democratic friends Is that
