A REMINIsCENCE OF THE IMPRISONMENT
OF MASON AND SLIDELL AT FORT WARREN.
"A person with an eye for the pictureeque,
who was an inmate of Fort Warren when
Messrs Mason and Stidel1 were detained
there, describes those gentlemen as very
unlike. Mason was open, generous and
genial Slidell self-poised, cold and for
bidding. As they entered the fort Mr.
Mason showed some little nervousness, but
more of natural curiosity, as he looked
around. Mr.. Slidell, with his gray shawl
mufflsd closely around his neck, walked
with the same quiet Indifference with which
he would alighJ from his own carriage and
enter his own house. Escorted to his
quarters, Mr Mason was soon bnsy direct
ing the details attending the proper dispo-
sition of his baggage, while Mr.. Siidell was
promenading-as if in want of exercise
up and down the long passage-wsy of the
building. 1 was standing at the end of the
passage when he was approached by a
gentleman who desired Instructions as to
the unpacking of his trunks. Raising his
head quickly, and fixing his cold, glitter
ing eyes upon the speaker, he answered in
an incieive, rapid manner: "It is hardly
necessary to unPack anything; we shall
remain here only a sufficient length Of time
for Mr. Seward to hear from England"
And Mr.. Slidell was right.
