THE JEFFERSON DAVIS, PRIVATEER,
PERFORMED INVALUABLE SERVICE
Thrilling Career of Confederate Crew Which
Did Heoric Work

The Confederate privateer. Jefferson
Davis, previously the condemned slave
brig Echo, and which is said to
have been owned at one time by j. r.
Gilmore, better known as Edmund
Kirke," whose death recently occurred
in New York, has a history which in
spires younger generations, who know
of the chivalric deeds of the Southern
er in the sixties, only through listen
ing to the war tales told by the gray
hfired around the fireside, or through
the reading of few disconnected por-
lions of the inside history of the hosts
who saw their last banner furled at
Appomattox, and wendell their ways
homeward to begin life over again aft
er having revolutionized the wars of
the world.
On bloody battle fields and on the
high seas the soldiers and sailors of
the Confederacy covered themselves
with glory, their fighting qualities CIV
ing to the world story of self-sacrific-
ing greatness unprecedented in the his
tory of nations, to marvel at and to
hand down to oncoming generations,
bit few of the adventures of the war
rit~ of the South, which We're not bur-
iedy with the gray-clad hero. are more
thrilling than those of the crew of the
privateer named after the President
of the Confederacy.
The Davis was 23O tons register and
81 ri
and carried four waist guns. two eigh-
teen-pounders and two underground
ers, and one long contemporaries, of
old English make, amidships. Starting
out upon a privateering expedition in
1861 she was in command of Capt.
Louis M. Coxeter, who will be remem-
bered by the older citizens of Savan-
nah as the commander of steam pack
cts plying between Charleston, Savan-
nah and Jacksonville.
Soon after leaving Charleston the
Davis reaped a rich harvest in captur-
ing federal vessels with an estimated
value of over $225, 900. When the Davis
captured the John Welsh off Hatteras.
Cant. Coxeter after the work of trans
ferring the stores had been completed,
mustered all hands aft and said to
them:
"Boys, if you modest the crew Of that
brig or their things to the value Of
a rope yarn l will punish you to the
utmost of my power" Turning to his
officers, he said: Gentlemen. I desire
that you do everything in your power
TO make the stay of these gentlemen
as agreeable as possible" concluding
with an invitation to the captured Of
ficers to dine with him in his cabin.
A prize crew In charge of Prize Mas
ter Stevens was then put in charge of
the captured vessel and ordered to put
in at the nearest Southern port. on
the same day the schooner Enchant-
ress. from Boston, was captured off
Montauk, and placed In charge of a
former Savannah pilot, Wallace Smith.
She was ordered South. On the follow
ing Sunday the Jefferson Davis cap
tured the schooner y. ]. Waring Of
Brookhaven, L. l., With valuable
cargo. Montague .AHiel, a Charleston
pilot, was placed IN ch-trge with mate,
second mate and two men. William
TIllman, a negro cook, two seamen and
q passenger, kryce Mcfkinnon, were left
The Savannah morning news., 1903-12-06

aboard and late in the afternoon the
captured prize was headed South.
On the night of July Is, 1861, when
the S. J. Warning was fifty miles south
of Charleston and when the prize cap
tain and mate were asleep in their
berths, the second mate at the wheel
and the others doing or asleep, Will
liam Tillman, the negro cook, carried
out a preconcerted plan, killing the
three with a Ratchet and throwing their
bodies over board. After retaking the
vessel the steward was in command,
and shortly afterwards the 8. ]. War
ing was carried up to the Battery in
New York harbor by the pilot boat
Jane.
After having captured good num-
Der of federal ships and retained their
crews as prisoners of war the Davis
on July 9, took the ship Mary Goodell
bound for Beunos Ayres, and on ac-
count of the fact that the ship was
useless to them and not desiring to
destroy life and property as a ruth
less conqueror, Capt. Coxetter placed
his prisoners aboard and allowed the
Mary Goodell to go free.
The havoc made by the Jefferson
, Davis on the Atlantic coast, the pri-
vateer having captured prizes which
| amounted to over 100000 caused the
greatest CONSERVATION and excitement
in Northern ports. Immediately up
| on learning of her career, the govern
ment at Washington ordered a fleet
composed of the Jackson, Crawford
and Varina, in command of Capt
Howard, to search for the Davis and
destroy her. and 1t is a fact that the
Davis turned the tables in capturing
the ship Crawford and burning her
| after having taken aboard the crew
of twenty-five persons.
The career of the Davis was ended
off the coast of Florida on Aug 1G,
when, as the ship was making an eff
fort to sail into the port of st. Au-
gustine, she struck. A small boat
was sent ashore for help and the pris-
oners were landed, and the Confeder-
ate officers were greeted by the citi-
zens of st. Augustine with the most
enthusiastio demonstrations, the Ia
dies throwing open their houses and
giving them reception after reception.

affording them every comfort posi-

During the voyage of the Davis a

The box sheet for the Zeisler concert,
which will take place at the Lawton
Memorial, Monday evening, Dec. A.
will be opened Friday morning at 8
O'Clock at Macarthur & Sons Co.'s mu-
sic house on Congress street. This
will be the first of the artist concerts
of the Music Club this season, and
that the club should thus open with
such a celebrity as Nine. Zeisler is a
splendid indication of what the season
of artist concerts will be. Owing to
the large membership of the club now
it has been decided to have the box
sheet open on Friday. and Saturday
to members of the C&ub only. On
those two days members may present
their membership tickets at the box
office and secure their reserved seats
and they may also buy such extra
seats as may be desired. Monday
morning the box sheet will be opened
to the public.
Members of the Music Club who
may not have secured their seats VI
to u o'clock Monday must take their
chances after that hour of securing
seats, as while every member is guar
anteed a seat up to that time, all I'M
taken seats will at that hour be put
on sale. In securing Mime. Zeisler
for this recital the club has accom-
plished something that has been
striven for for the past five or six
years. Each season during that time
efforts have been made to bring her
here, but without success.
Last season the club had a contract
for her appearance here, but were
compelled to cancel it at the last
moment, owing to the sudden and Sc.
we're illness of her husband, and it was
then determined to make every effort
to bring her out this season. Nine
Zeisler is the greatest American plan
list that has lived, and she is one of the
greatest of the world renowned artists
of the day. Members of the Music
Club who may not yet have secured
their membership tickets, which give
them admission to these artist concerts
without extra charge, can do so by
applying to the treasurer of the club

Washington, Dec. 5.-The Southern
Classification Committee, of which P
]. McGovern is chairman, has adjourn
ed after three days session here. Near
ly 100 items of classification We're dis
cussed by the members of the COM
mittee and several representatives o.
the shipping public were heard.
Reports that the classification rat
ings were to be advanced as a result
of this meeting were erroneous. In q
majority of cases the ratings We're re-
duced, some changes being made ir
the wording to prevent any misunder-
standing as to the purpose of the
classification.
Out of total of ninety-nine subjects
discussed only three changes were
made which indicated an advance. one
of these being on locomotives because
of the greatly increased weight of the
locomotives manufactured in recent
years. The two other advances were
unimportant.
The chairman states that the ten
dency in considering classification rat

conspiracy was disclosed, and upon the
arrival at Charleston the suspected
ones were arrested and given a trial.
only one of the men proving to be
guilty of the charge.
Wallace Smith, and three others of
the crew of the Davis, who were cap
tured by the federals, were convicted in
the United States Circuit Court at Phil
adelphia, upon an indictment of piracy.
A message was then sent to the gov
eminent at Washington by the Con-
federate government that If the sea-
men were executed that the Confed-
crate authorities would likewise exc
cute several prominent prisoners OF
war then in the hands of the Confed-
crates, and the lives of the seamen
were thus saved.
The career of the Jefferson Davis
reads like romance when the very in
teresting details Of captures are told
by those who remember when the Da-
Wis was as much feared along the At
lantic coast as the Alabama was a
terror in other waters. Capt. Coxet-
ter of the Jefferson Davis, after the
wreck of his vessel. went into the
blockade-running service and COM
manded the steamers. Autonica and
Beauregard. In his last trip to Char
lesion in command of the Beauregard,
he was fired at fifteen times by the
federal blockaders. He was very sue
cessful in the service but owing to i'll
health was compelled to resign.

Messrs Arthur B. Levy Sligo Mohe

Bowers at the piano have formed an
orchestra, which has given excellent
music thefe. They are three of the
leading members of the Music Club
Orchestra, for which Mr. Levy is con-
certmeister, and the splendid results of
their work in the orchestra was shown
in what they did in this impromptu
orchestra 1t would be well if others in
orchestra would form themselves to-
gether and work up concerted numbers.
The weekly rehearsals OF the chorus
of the Music Club under the director
shin of Miss Coburn continue, and sew
eral numbers are in the course of
preparation for presentation before the
club in the near future, in addition to
the oratorio Elijah. which will be given
later in the season. With the more
regular attendance of the members of
the chorus at rehearsals this season
than heretofore. and the large increase
in members, much greater progress is
being made than formerly, and a more
successful chorus work than has vet
been given may be expected. The
chorus is one of the most attractive
features of the club, and its first ap-
pearance is being looked forward to
with much interest.

A Domestic Rate System will Soon
 He In Operation.
 WASHINGTON, March 2S-The per- manent postal treaty between the Unit ed States and Cuba is now in course of negotiation and probably will be in op- eration within a few weeks. Minister Quesada has had a conference with Second Assistant Postmaster General Shallenberger on the subject and will communicate immediately with the Gu ban administration regarding the final draft and its ratification.
 The treaty is substantially the same as the one now in force between this country and Canada and practically continues the system in vogue between the Washington and Havana adminis- trations since the American regime in Havana began. This puts the relation of the United States and the Cuban governments on domestic postal sys- tenn basis. The only question has been over the prepayment of postage on let ters and postal cards, and this doubt less will be adjusted shortly in mutu- ally satisfactory way. ,
 Cuba, 1t is probable, will announce formally it's adherence to the universal postal union at the congress of the pos- tai governments of the world at Rome two years hence.

The recent rains washed out some of the streets, espe- cially South Wilson and Seymour streets, and they are now fin very poor condition.
