rgr, Bott. and General SChocicId,

The Richmond correspondent of the New
York Herald, gives the following version of
an alleged interview Of Mr.. Bolts with
General Schofeld, of which there are va
riOlls reports on the street:
RICHMOND, March 22d, 1867.
When General Schofeld had issued his
general order No. 1, assuming the COM
mand of this district he was called upon
by that erratic individual, John Minor
Bolts, who was then i'll this city, and who,
in lengthy TRADE against all parties, clas-
ses and sects differing i'll views with him
self, undertook to instruct that officer in
the course he should pursue, and the man
ner in which he should apply his new pow
ers to certain parties. In this unasked for
advice Bolts never once afforded an oppor-
tunity to be told, Or for moment thought,
he was intruding upon an officer who, be-
cause of his ability to administer justice
and effectively enforce the law, was ap-
pointed here.
The General listened calmly to the raving
of the egotistical, inconsistent political agi
tator, eyeing him attentively all the time,
but without even youchsaing him reply,
not even a nod When that person had
exhausted himself, he suddenly found his
presence was not at all acceptable he com
menced to feel decidedly uncomfortable
saw he had overstepped his mark by long
shot, and taking his leave, sneaked out
like badly snubbed man, which MI Bolts
was. After he had gone, the General, who
was quietly smoking q cigar, turned to one
of his officers present and remarked. elf
Sherman was here that man would have
been sent to prison" This is stated on
GOOD authority and is an evidence that
General Schotield intends to discharge his
duty faithfully and impartially, without any
regard whatever topoliticlans OF any order

Gen. Barlow, of Savannah, commanded trool

pressed with the belief that he would never me'

Reported Views OF Mr. Davis.
Professor Thomas GhnnOuIth of r

TOteSSOf In0nlaS ChenOW1tD, OF Baltl-
more, has been giving lessons i'll painting
to Mr.. Davis, and his sister-in-law, Miss
Howell, i'll Fortress Monroe. During the
progress of his lessons Professor Cheno-
with has had an excellent opportunity of
cOnversing with the eX-President. In the
conversation Mr.. Davis remarked that he
had no reason Of complaint in what ap-
peared to be the uniustly strict measures
adopted by the Government to prevent his
escape from confinement, and that he en-
tertained towards the officers of the fort
the kindest feelings of respect. They had
ever been ready and willing to promote his
comfort and had always exhibited due
sympathy and esteem for himself and
family
He spoke of Baltimore, and felt deeply
obliged to many Of her citizens for favors
and assistance which he had received from
them at various times. Baltimoreans had
acted nobly during the war, and in them
be reposed the most implicit confidence
AS to his trial he expressed no opinion; he
was i'll the hands of the Government, and
patiently awaited that decision which would
either place him at liberty or before the
courts of justice. His continued imprison-
ment he characterizeS as uni ust and brutal,
and a stain on the Northern Government
in thus singing out from so many others
eluaily 8ulltY man VINO, by ine Will OF
the Southern people, had been elected to
the chief office Of the Confederacy. The
Connecticut election was one, he said,
which that State could we'll be proud of, as
it appeared to him to be the turning point
in that political struggle which was causing
so much suffering in the land. It would
have q great effect upon the political bal
ance of power, and in succeeding elections
its influence would doubtless be energetic
ally exercised, and proportionately preserv-
ed. He appeared in good spirits and
health, and evinced a keen perception and
interest i'll Professor Chenowith's instruc-
tions and improvements i'll oil and water
color paintings.
Davis convcised Oh various other topics,
and shows a perfect acquaintance with all
the great questions which are agltating tho
different portions of the globe. Although
he considers tie Immediate prospects of
his release or trial not definitely settled,
yet he was not without hope that his coun-
sci would be able to force the Government
to more definite measures when the next
term Of the District Court was held, in
May. This is the substance of the conver-
sation which occurred, which the Professor
related 10 friends after his Instructions TO
Davis had been COmpleted

ODE TO A BoB-TAILED CAT.

EeLiS infeIib Cat unfortunate,
With nary narrative!
Canst thou no tale relate
OF how
(M-e-o-w,)
Thy tail end come to terminate
So bluntly:
Did'st wear it off by
Sedentary habits
AS do the rabbits?
Did'st go
Fishing with it,
Fishing with it,
To "bOb" for catfish,
And got bobbed thyself?
Curses on that fish!
Did'st lose it in kittenhood,
Hungerly chewing it
Or gaily pursuing it,
Did it make tangent,
Abrupt refrangent
From thy swift circuit e:
Did some brother grey-baCk-
Yowling
And hoWlin"
In nocturnal strife,
Splitting and staring,
Cussing and swearing,
Ripping and tearing.
Calling thee sausage tall
Ahbreyiate thy suffix?
Or did thy jealous wife
Detect yer
In somo sly Irritation,
And after Caudal lecture,
Bite off thy termination
And serve yer right
Did some mischievous boy,
Some barbarOus boy,
Some murderous boy,
Eliminite thy fms?
(ProbablyD
The wretch,
The villain!
Cruelty spillin'
Thy innocent blood!
Let every cat scratch him,
Suck his breath,
Be his death
When e'er they can catch him.
Well, Bob, two courses are left,
Since thus of your tail you're hereft,
Tell your friends that by letter
From Prris,
You have learnt the style there is
To wear the tail short,
And the briefer the better:
And for prompt imitation,
Such i5 the passion,
That every Grimalkin will
Follow your fashion,
Or else,
If they laugh at the stump
That you wag at your rump
There arc fur shops where cat-skins are r
tailed,
Hurry on, Robert Caudal, and be tailed.
