The Geographic news from Fortress Monroe
indicates that Mr.. Davis has not been proof
against the effects of prison torture, and may
disappoint those who desire to put him to
death in yet another mode. If his nerves had
been brass and his sinews iron, the consequent
ces of Miles barbarity would yet have told in
the twelve months of rigorous confinement to
which he has been subjected; but to all who
knew the delicateness Of his health, the only
wonder is that he has survived it at all.
The Camanches should go to Fortress Mon
roe for lessons in brutality. A burning and
eternal disgrace belongs somewhere.

Decorating Soldiers Graves at Richmond

On Monday of last week about 5000 persons
turned out at Richmond with the proper i'm
plements to decorate the graves of the 5000
soldiers buried in Hollywood Cemetery. On
the next Thursday, about 90, 900 persons turned
out to dress the graves and to strew them with
flowers The Econ,ia,er of Friday last says
that agreeably to the arrangements of the
Hollywood Memorial Association, the sacred
and touching ceremonies incident to the dress
ing and floral adornment of the graves of the
Confederate dead that lie buried in Hollywood
Cemetery, were carried into effect. Business
was suspended, the city was deserted, and the
feet Of the people who revere the brave bore
them forth to the quiet city of the dead, where
the hand of youth and of age, Of both sexes, were
busted in the work Of fowery decoration. The
occasion was such an one as has never before
been witnessed in Richmond; and it is not prop
able that the eyes that looked in admiration up
On the deep, patriotic, heartfelt demonstration
will ever look upon a like scene again-the
Mourning Festival of Flowers.

remarks on the bill extending the time for the
continuance of the Freedmen's Bureau, says
'That the Bureau has well nigh completed It's
work, and that preparation should be made for
the early termination of its functions, is the
opinion of most thinking people among us, not
because they are Indifferent to the welfare OF
the freedmen, but because they believe that the
Bureau, if continued. would probably become
a mere partisan machine, and that after briet
period the restoration of the South to harmony
and prosperity will proceed more surely without
the Bureau than under its influence.
