Some of JEFF. Davis's early love expe-
riences are coming to light. Old Fort
Crawford Is situated at Prairie du Chen,
Wisconsin, on the Mississippi. It was
there that Davis, then q Lieutenant was
stationed. The superior officer was Zack
Taylor, then o Colonel. He loved the
handsome daughter of Col, Taylor. that
love was returned. Col. Taylor would
not consent to their marriage, so Lieut.
Davis seeded from Prairie du Chen and
went for another union. By means of a
roPe ladder the girl let herself down from
the upper window of the commandments
house at the fort in the darkness of the
night they went to the edge Of the river;
a trusty Indian took the lovers in his
canoe, and of down the stream they
went, and were married at St. Louis as
seon as they could reach that point.
JEFF. Dayis's relics, including portions Of
his old Lieutensnt's uniform, are with
other curiosities now preserved in a csbi-
Of curiosities at Lacrosse, Wisconsin.

The telegraph led US into an error il

dent. The dispatch should have read
with no increase of pay instead Of
with an increase of pay" The reasons
for making the change are thus presented
by a letter from Professor Peck to Seere-
tary Seward, dated Port au Prince, Hayti,
April 20, 1866, and read to the Senate by
Senator Sumner:
Confirming a doubt whether I should
add a single line to the already Yoluminous
pages which Isend you by this mail, I can
not help asking YOU attention to two sug-
gestions which seem to me important and
urgently called for at the present time.
"The FIRST is that the functions and title
Of the office held by General Cazeneau and
myself be changed to those Of Minister Re-
sidenty SO that we can have direct access to
the heads Of the Governments to which we
are respectively accredited.
Experience has made clear to my mind
two factsi
II. That an active exercise Of the inhu-
ence Of our Government upon the two re-
publics on this island is essential not less
TO their welfare and progress than to the
maintenance of proper relations between
ourselves and the Antilles.
90. That this influence cannot be exert
ed, if the representatives of our Govern
-ment are kept ct the official distance from
the springsof political influence which they
now occupy.
"To illustrate both these points the rela-
tons between this and the sister republic
are now in q crisis. The parties seem bent
on quarrelling. II anything saves them
from such an event it will be the influence
of foreign Governments, particularly our
own"
-
al cannet bat think that if at this mo-
msnt 1 could 20 directly to his Excellency
I could do service at once TO my country
and TO these poor, distracted republics which
would be of incaleulable value. And it
tries meSwhen the ease is so urgent, to be
compelled to stand aloofa sort Of lay
figure.
The change / ask would add nothing to
the expenses of tbs Government and would
cost no material Inconvenience in any way.
It would be a proper compliment to a sister
republic, and would withdraw an indignity
which we seem TO impose on this Govern
ment by denying to it the kind of represen-
tation we make to other Governments
which are less important in themselves and
which occupy much less close geographical
and political relations with us"
