The Capture Of JEFF. Davis.

Soon after the close Of the civil war in
iS65. when Generals Lee and Johnston
had surrendered 10 the United States
forces. q good deal vas said-much If i,
false-in regard 10 the capture OF Jefer-
son Davis, President Of the COniederAcy.
soon after his capture, james II. Jones,
a colnred man who was with Mr. Davis or
his family during nearly the whole time
Of the war in the capacity Of coachman,
and who was with him when he was
taken prisoner in Georgia, furnished a
statement OF his capture. Recently a re-
quest has been made TO 4 gentleman OF
high standing in this city to procure
from james II. Jones, statement of the
whole matter. which he has given, and
which we are permitted to copy, as be-
low. But before giving the statement
we will take occasion TO say that the
author is a native of this city and stands
as high as any colored man in the State
for truth and integrity. He is and has
been for ten years captain Of the Victor
Fire Company Of this city, aud was until
his resignation recently, captain of the
Raleigh Rifles, a solored volunteer COM
pany Of this city. The statement is CIV
en- as briefly as possible to be intelligi-
BILE and is as follows
81 was coachmau to Hon. JEFF Davis
nearly all through the war, and was
with him at the time of his capture,
which occurred on the 10th of May,
1865, between three and four o'clock in the
morning, some fifteen or sixteen miles
from the county seat of Wilcox County,
Georgia, while in camp on the public
road. | heard the tramping Of the
horses of the Federal soldiers, as they
were approaching the camp, and
awoke Mr.. Davis and told him the
Yankees were nearly on US. He and
his wife had been sleeping in thei
tent. When / went in he got up, and by
the time he got his clothes on the soldiers
we're in the camp and ten or twelve of
them were standing at his tent door with
their guns. No one could pass in or out.
Mrs. Davis and the children had not had
time to dress. Mr.. Davis went to the
tent door and was ordered by the SOL
diers to surrender He replied that he
would not; that he would die first. At
this Mrs. Davis pressed to her husband
and put her arms around his neck, beg
ging the soldiers not to kill him, both she
and the children crying piteously.
ut has been stated that Mr.. Davis had
on hoopskirt and was otherwise dis
guised as a woman. This is wholly false.
He was dressed in his ordinary clothing,
with calvary boots drawn over his pants,
a waterproof over his dress coat, shawl
thrown over his shoulders, and on his
head broad -brim white or drab Texas
hat. He had not an article of female
wear about his person.
The following gentlemen were in the
camp and were captured at the same
time: General Reagan, Postmaster-Gen-
eral; Mr.. Harrison, private secretary to
Mr.. Davis; Colonel Lovett, of Texas
Colonel Joseph johnson, of Kentucky
Colonel Joseph Wood Escaped next day.,
Mr.. William Howell, brother to Mrs
Davis, and many Others, all of whom /
doubt not will corroborate what have
stated above" ."-Raleigh (N. o. Neacs.

sABoUT KENTUoKY.-The use of pistols
in the settlement of wrongs, real or i'm
aginary, is once more becoming too COM
mon in Kentucky. A united effort by
the press of the State, and lovers OF law
and order, similar to that made three
years ago, is now needed to suppress this
form of lawlessness. Within few days
an atfray below Frankfort resulted in the
death of both parties. Another affair
near Cynthiana resulted in wanton MUIR
der. This barbarous method of adjusting
grievances does not stop with the injury
done to the immediate parties; it goes be-
yond and Injuries the community that tol-
crates such lawless violence. A reputa-
tion for insecurity to life in the State of
Kentucky has in the past been an in
surmountable barrier that has turned the
tide of emigration away from our State,
leaving our vast resources undeveloped,
while our sister States have rapidly ad-
vanced in population, internal improve
ments, wealth and prosperity. There is
no use asking emigrants to come to Ken
lucky, or in telling them of our vast agri-
cultural and mineral wealth until we have
put a stop to these brutal murders that
are making the name of our State by
word and disgrace.

"JANE EYRE" and other novels, have
depicted the fictitious lights and shades
of the life Of the English governeSs. Her
real condition has significant illustra-
tion in the following ca.echism put by
clergyman's wife to a young lady adver-
tising for situation: "June Z. Madam,
In reply beg to say we are desirous
of meeting with governess for our four
elder children-two girls and two boys;
their ages are nine, seven, six, and four,
respectively. Our girls have not yet got
beyond the simple tunes in music. Are
you good needlewoman, and can you
cut out and make children's frocks9 AS
l should require you to attend to their
wardrobes, assist with other servings, wash
and dress the two elder boys, dress the
girls hair, to walk out with them, and to
make yourself generally useful. Would
you, on an emergency, object to help TO
make the beds, and wash up the break
fast and tea thingsG Are you a member
of the Church of England and commu-
nicantY" The salary offered to LADY
possessing all these desirable and useful
accomplishments was 500 per annum.

they do it9"

"Yes, but why don't they want trains

Because they wanted more money for

"Do they pay more for stopping trains

"Then why in the world did they stop
'em--why didn't they run more of 'em or

pay better"

"Yes, but John, / want to know.
There's Mrs. Racket, over the way, who
goes to all the base. ball games, and
comes back to talk me blind about fly,

those things. For heavens sake, John,

"Compose yourself, old woman. You

cutters, home runa, and kindred subjects,
she's in danger of being lost"

PRESIDENT HAYES is reported to have
said, the other day, that Indians could
not be introduced in the army, In any
extended way, with efficiency. He added :
81 had three Indians in my corps. As
scouts they were unequaled. We could
do nothing with them as soldiers. They
would not drill, they would not keep
rank, they would do nothing except in
their wild Indian way. We were troubled
by sharp-shooter, who had picked off
our men, and we could not reach him. l
sent for one of these scouts. He came to
my camp in a slouchy way seemed half
asleep, and was wholly indifferent. When
I told him what wanted, his face glowed,
his eyes sparkled, and he Strengthened
himself up like crested snake, ready to
strike, rolled his trousers up to his thighs,
his sleeves to his shoulder -blaeds-to be
as much of a savage as possible. He
took his rifle, several rounds of ammuni-
ton, threw biR Slf on the grass before
there was any need of it, and wound him
self along with the velocity and silence
of a snake. Three shots brought the
sharp-shooter down, when the scout re-
turned perfectly exhilerated.

The Electric Light in Warfare.

The adoption of electric light as a
means of illuminating the path of ships
at sea, during the night, has been fol-
lowed by the application of this power
full Illuminating agent to the purposes
of naval warfare, and some British iron
clads have been fitted with lights and
rejecting apparatus, which will be of
great service in protecting them from
such night attacks by torpedo boats as
those lately made ON Turkish iron-clads
in the Black Sea and the Danube. The
Russian Government, it seems, are turn
ing their attention to the use of electric
light as an illuninator for military pur-
poses. In some experiments recently
made at st. Petersburgh, with the special
object of increasing the distance to which
the light produced by electricity may be
thrown, it was found that the power of
the light is greatly augmented by cover
ing the carbon burner with thin sheet
of copper. By this means, the celebra-
ted Alteneck lamp was made to increase
the power Of its light from 1920 to 49,.
255 candles; and even this great power
was raised to that represented by the
light of 2O,275 candles by slight alter
alton in the position of the carbon and
its covering-namely, by turning it to-
wards the direction of the object required
to be lighted. 1t was found that this
light was sufficiently powerful to render
objects visible at night at distance of
over 5000 yards. To garrison pro-
vided with two or three such sentinels,
night surprises would have no fears.

Thacher, who is the fifth of the sons of the
distinguished Professor of Latin that have
graduated with honor within the last ten
years. The best known member of the
class, however, is Joshua montgomery
Starr, of Boston, the richest young man

as he made for boat but the boy dis
appeared and was seen no more. While
the officer was looking under the wharf the
half OF a. good sized sand pile suddenly
slid down the back Of his neck and into his

heard saving.
