Mr.. EDITOR Il notice in your report of the pro-

takes.

The main error, however, which | wish to correct
is this. Speaking of the Calvert street meeting your

From Fortress HOnrOe-SErs. Davis Taking
LID Her Residence i'm 4, Easnrnnfa


Fort MONROE, May G.-The revenue cutter North
erner. with Secretary McCulloch and family arrived
here this morning on short visit here and to Nor
fork. They returned to Washington this afternoon
It is confidently stated here that the visit of Mrs
Jefferson Davis to this place promises to he of long
duration. During yesterday Major Gen. Miles, act
ing under instructions from Washington, directed
Lieut. McElrath the post quartermaster. to turn
over for her accommodation. one of the casemates
OF the Fortress. 1t is understood that Mrs Davis ap-
Piled for room in Carroll Hail. where her husband
is confined, but was refused by General Miles. The
conditions of the visit of Mrs Davis which were made
known shortly after she arrived here, permit her
to have free intercourse with her husband during all
hours of the day and strictly enjon upon her to use
no Illegal measures in attempting either his rescue
or release.
The report of the ball given by the officers Of the
United States gunboat Connemaugh. laying in this
harbor, proves to have been incorrect 1t was sur
prize visit of the officers of the Fortress and the ut
most cordiality was extended them. The officers of
the Connemaugh arc careful to say that they would
themselves be very happy give such entertainments
if their present rate of pay permitted it.
