.JEFF. DAVIS.
Surgeon COOper's OmeiaI Report ON the
Health of the state Prisoner.


1t will be recollected that, some two weeks
ago, Secretary McCulloch, whilst on a visit to
Fortress Monroe, had an interview with Jetl.
Davis, and that the Secretary discovered from
from the surgeon in attendance at the fort that
MIR. Davis was in feeble health. Since the re-
port of that tact there have been various state.
ments to the contrary coming from newspaper
correspondents, who protessed to have obtained
their information from the officers and visitors
at the fort. The President deemed it proper,
upon the suggestion OF several prominent men,
to direct an official report to be made by the
Surgeon who has charge of the prisoner. The
examination was made accordingly, and the
following is copy of the Surgeons state

that time the unfortunate woman was
entirely neglected. She was not re
moved from her berth. but compelled
to remain in the blood and filth en-
engendered by her distressing condi-
ton, and without fire or any of the
necessary comforts OF medical attend

vailed at the time froze the wet cloth

mined her health that she died on Mon
day last. The corpse of the prema-

berth beside her. When the ship ar

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY IN MISSISSIPPI
"A jackson Miss correspondent
of the Chicago Republican says that
an investigation by Major General
Wood developed the following start
ing facts relative to a barbarous out
rage perpetrated upon some colored
people in Carroll county, Miss. The
details are taken from the official re-
port:
"A number of colored families were
occupying several buildings at Shan
gallo, for which they had paid rent
from time to time. The owner of the
buildings was well pleased with his
tenants, and nothing could be alleged
against them, except that they were
free niggers and diving alone. This
simple fact seemed to sting the pride
of certain slaveocrats and liberty hat
ers. They threatened the negroes
with burning out, and on one occasion
white men gathered around the build
ings and endcavored by firing guns
and revolvers to brighten them away.
These threats and menaces were I'M
avaiIing. The negroes still remained.
On the evening of the 18th of No
vember they had quilting party, fol
lowed by a dancing party. About
ten or eleven o'clock, while all were
enjoying themselves very pleasantly,
about twenty white men suddenly
surrounded the buildings and set them
on fire. and refused egress to all the
inmates. Shots were fired into the
burning buildings. Great conSterna-
f ton prevailed. 1t is not known that
, any failed to escape from the build
| ings, mostly by breaking through the
: windows. Notwithstanding so hOr
l rible fright and excitement, some
had presence Of mind enough to save
: some bundles Of clothing or other
4 property. These were seized by the
. white men, and thrown back into the
!. flames. One man, in escaping, called
: to a woman, saying, Follow me, there
e is no danger this way - you, I'll
