FORTRESS MONROE, May IA.
Mrs. jeff Davis has taken up her quar-
ters inside the fort. She remained there
last night, having previously sent for her
baggage and man servant. DR.. Cooper,
post surgeon, and, by virtue of such posi-
ton, the medical attendant of Mr.. Davis,
has given her apartments in the house oc.
cupied by himself and family. The Doctor,
it will be remembered, is not only the med
ical adviser of Mr. Davis, but also furnishes
him his meals from his own table. AL
though entertaining no shadow of sympathy
for Mr.. Davis, be naturally feels deep pro.
fessional interest in him and, in the dis.
charge of his professional duty, has been
unfaltering, jealous and faithful :!and to
his admirable skill and watchful care
there can be no doubt that Mr.. Davis is
immsasurably indebted for what Of health
and vitality still remain to him. Hold
ing such relations to Mr.. Davis furnishes
all the explanation that need be given Of
his receiving Mrs. Davis as guest in his
family. AS for Mrs Davis she may con-
gratulate herself that she has fallen into
such hospitable and considerate hands.
CONDITIONS OF MRS DAVIS VISIT.
As stated in my letter of yesterday, Mrs.
Davis obtained permission to visit her hus-
band direct from President johnson. But
the permission was given under certain re-
strctions, though with liberality Of indul-
gence that greatly surprises very many here.
The restrictions are that she is not to use
any influence or contribute any aid to the
rescue of Mr.. Davis or his release otherwise
than through the proper Government chan
mel. The indulgence granted her admits
her to unconstrained interviews with her hus.
band, and at all hours of the day between
revielle and sunset. 1t is not eDjoined that
an officer shall be in the room with them,
neither is it forbidden In the absence of
such injunction, General Miles allowed her
to visit her husband unattended by an off
Ger. A sentinel, however, walks back and
forth continually in front of the barred win
dows of his room. Last, and not least, no
limit is placed upon the length of her visit
THE TINE MRS. DAVIS PROPOSES TO RE-
MAIN
In answer to question how long she
proposed to make her visit, Mrs. Davis said
emphatically, 81 intend to remain until Mr..
Davis is ordered away for trial, or he is re-
leased from prison or dies" Aud she is q
woman of that decision and spirit that she
will do what she says, unless some interme.
mediate interdiction occurs to prevent it.
She evidently has no such fears, as it is be-
lieved she knows too we'll the tenure of her
sojurn to allow herself to entertain any such
appehensioDs.
MR. DAVIS FUTURE AS LOOKED AT BY
MRS. DAVIS.
1t is natural for women to be enthusias.
tic, particularly when their strongest affec-
tions and more cherished hopes are interest
ed. Mrs Davis is probably not an excep.
ton. 1t is certain chat she is enthusiastic-
ally hopeful regarding the future of MIR.
Davis. She expresses the sure belief that
he 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 assurance on the topic, carry
ing conviction Of stronger basis for the
belief she expresses than idle surmises
founded on delusiVe hope. There might be
persons, she says, who would like to rescue
Mr.. Davis from prison, but she scouts the
idea of bis accepting any such release.
He will not 60 away from here, she declares,
unless in manner couporting with his
senseof high honor; and she CLAIMS for him
a punctilio of honor partaking of the chiv.
airy of the old knights of the medieval
ages. On the subject of parole she insists
with equal emphasis, that he would sacrifice
his life before violating his parole.
