Davis at Fortress Monroe, reports his

ragraph, at once wlote to the editor Of
this paper letter, from which We make
the following extract:
sAs I was the only person who was
with President Davis on Friday, [ pre-
sumo the writer must have intended to
refer to me. therefore beg to ask you
to contradict the statement. So far
from its being the truth, | am satisfied
of the reverse. lie is very feeble; has
difficulty in walking upright; 'his
stomach has lost its tone,' to use his

is but wreck Of what he was when in

aggravated by his place of confinement
He has the freedom of the fort during G
the day, and remains with his wife in
the casemate appropriated to her, but
at sunset he is locked in his room in
Carroll Hall, and guarded by sentinels
on each side of the room. A brilliant
light is kept SHINING in the created

OPPOTUNE APPEARANCE OF

Lorenzo soon ascertained was not hus-
band. But Lorenzo insisted, and she

the wife had unfastened the door and
admitted her husband. Having spent
the evening at the tavern, be was just
tipsy enough to be both boisterous and
coura geous. He soon made the ac-
quaintance of Lorenzo, whom he had
heard much of but had never seer. =
He had been told that be could raise
the devil, and he insisted upon his i'm
mediately doing so-not that be be.
lieyed in any, but if there was any he
wanted to see him. In vain Lorenzo
objected, protesting his unwilliugness
and the danger attending it, etc; but
the more than half drunken husband
insisted. At last said Lorenzo, If you
are determined to see him, open the
door, put out the light, and stand out
Of bis way, or he may take you with
him; for when be comes it will be in
flames of fire, and 7 warn you Of the

a few uuintellig;ble sentances, Lorenzo
set fire to the hatchliugs, and cried, out,

completely enveloped in flames, and put
for the open door, leaving the house
with the most unearthly yell To his

testify that Lorenzo not only could, but
dill raise the devil, for he had seen and

Il Rich Sermon Where is the

7 he following extract from a sermon
will be recognized at a glance by some
readers here at home It loses much
of its humor because We can not put in
the appropriate GESTURES that accompany
it:
sMy friends, sin makes the purtiest
young man ugly-ah. And I tell you
how know ali. I was coming to church
to day, when [ saw some men in the
road alb, and thought one Of them the
purties young man l ever saw in my
life ah. And as I drew righ unto them,
discovered they were playing al mar
vels, and they all drew nigh unto a
place what they called taw, and they
] na<.ruAllAa ~L- Add -~hen he maryelled
he jumped up and aapy0a l.:s l~~a~
like rooster does his wings ah, and
says: Il wish | be id if [ han't
fat ah = And oh, my friends, thea [
thought that was the ugliest man | ever
saw in my life ah. And I opened my
mouth and spake unto him thus: says
[, young man, this is not the way to
salyation.'
And he said, look here, old hoss, if you
had been salivated as bad as [ was, you
would not love to hear talk Of salvation.
Aud now. my friends, if that young
man said he was fat; he told a lie, for
he was lean as that hungry looking sis
ter over thar, that's always praying Sc
piously when the hat is being passed
around ah. And, my friends, if that
young man had not been blinded by sin
never could mistuck me for an OLD
boss ah.'

General Fitzpatrick We were ask
ed by several of our readers, what the
principal rumor now afoat amounted
to, relative to Gen. Fitzpatrick, our min
lister to Chilli. We did not wish at that
time to give the particulars, but as it is
no longer a secret, we state that he is
charged with the greatest disrespect,
both to tie people he represented and
to those to whom he was sent, by intro
ducing to Chilian society, woman Of
notorious bad repute. We hope the ru-
NOR is not true Washington Union.
Wonder if this is not the same piece
of furniture Wade Hampton captured
at Fayetteville, when Fitzpatrick made
so narrow an escape without his unmen-
tionables, and which he subsequently
introduced into private family at some
point on the North Carolina Railroad
Neubern Commercial.
