New York, July Yesterday, S.
Percy Ellis. brother of Sarah A. Dorsey,
who bequoathed her property to Jeffer-
son Davis, received copy of the will,
and letter from Davis. The letter re-
cites that the writer for years had known
Mrs Dorsey, and, by daily association
with her during the past two years, came
TO know all her goodness and kindness
of heart. Not one word in the letter
gave any intimation that he thought the
bequost strange. Davis has no idea of
allowing it to pass from him. Neverthe-
less, it is positively affirmed the will will
be contested to the end. Able lawyers
of this city and New Orleans have already
been engaged. The grounds upon which
they will combat the will will be undue
influence or mental inability to execute
such an instrument. Ellis, after service
i'll the Southern army, went to Panama,
where he was employed in the railroad
Office. He is now Grand Representative
of the Supreme Council of the United
