Mrs. jefferson Davis.

Mrs. Jefferson Davis, accompanied by
DIR. Pemberton, brother to General Penn
berton, who commanded at Vicksburg
Mississippi, returned to Fortress Monroe
on the 30th from a visit to Washington, D.
G., where she had been several days past en-
gagged in interviews with prominent South,
ern men upon the question of Mr. DAVIS
release from the fort. The result OF her
visit is not known. DR.. Gallon, notary
public of Washington city, and an old
friend Of Mr.. Davis, was at the fort tor
several days prior to the departure OF Mrs.
Davis, and went with her to Washington
to use his influence, it is said, in the efforts
which are now being made to have MI
Davis released, should he not be tried BY
Judge Underwood at the next session o.
the District Court, which meets in klcn-
mond this month. Mr.. Davis is IN re-
markedly good health and spirits, and ~

very confidently of an early release iEOni

MIR. FRoELICH, a resident of Kensnsville, Duplin
county, has planted Vineyard, and made a
comfortable home for himself and family. Mr.. F.
is foreigner by birth, but has been in this sec
ton OF country for several years, and, we think.
for the last five six years has resided at Kenans-
vile. DupGn county. During this time, he has
acquired, through his own exertions, quite hand
some homestead, upon which he has beautiful
Vineyard and orchard. He manufactures, we
learn, an excellent Wine, sample of which he has
presented US with. Now we do not allude to Mr..
Froehch's Wines for the purpose of bringing, them
before the public, but to draw attention to what
industry and perseverance can accomplish. Mr.
F. commenced here during the war, and met with
several severe reverses but he never gave UP in
despair. Others can do the same if they will. 1t
affords us pleasure to record such evidencies of
industry and prosperity. We hope to be able to
publish more of them in the future.
THE MAIL TO FAYETTEvILLE.-W We are pleased
to learn fiom DR.. Job, the Special Agent of the
Post Office Department for North Carolina, that a
mail will leave the Post Office here twice week,
by steamer, for Fayetteville, at o'clock, P. NJ,
and return by the same route. The Mail Agent
on the boat will leave packages of letters and
papers at the different landings on the river there
by accommodating the people along the Cape
Fear with mail matter, which they have heretofore
been deprived Of There is also mail hence to
Fayetteville three times week, blythe Wilmington
Charlotte & Rutherf I'd Railroad. This will make
nearly daily mail between the two places, which
has been much needed for some time.

the effect that he had been defrauded of the sun,
of S22 by J. G. Gutenberg, a member of the pc.

The Old gentleman stated that Gutenberg, who
has newspaper stand at the City Hotel, had, by
some little attentions, comm ended himself to his
favor, which had recently been manifested by one
or more presents, and loan of a small sum Of
money which had been solicited. The family of
Mr.. Harrss knew Of this intimacy existing be-
tween himself and Gutenberg, and the latter took
OCCASION day or two since, while the old gentle
man was out liking, to obtain the sum above
stated from his wife by false representations. He
stated to her that Mr. Harriss had employed
him to superintend the erection Of q Lib
erty pole for the colorcd population on May
Day, and that he required to lquidate the expense
incurred in its erection the sum of $32, and that
his wants were pressing, but *22 would answer for
the present. MIS-. Harrss gave him the desired
sum, yet not without some misSivings, and ss
soon her husband returned from his walk, men
toned the fact to him. It then she found
that she had been imposed upon, and her husband
defreuded. Shortly afterwards Gutenberg. think

a fresh demand but was greeted with pleasant
surprise i'll the shape of the one whom he wished
to detraud i'll Person Mr.. Harriss demanded the
return OF the money recently obtained, and the
now crest-fallen man handed it over with an air
of great humiliation.
