Fortress Monrok, May C. Secretary McCul loch paid us a living visit to-day. Accompanied by hi8 wile, two dauchtoio, and a daughter of PostmOHtor-OiKTRl lX-nnion, he left Washing ton at 5 P. M. jestrrdav, on the United States revenue cutter Northerner. It was only designed to po n fur as I'olnt Lookout, the obiect being a pleasure Bail down the Potomac river and back lor recreation and health; but the weather proving so unexpectedly cleliehtlul and the Rail so chartninply apTccable scarce a ripple milled the mooth waters or the bay, and tho misty and balmy haze of an Indian summer day gently clouded the dHZzlinpr sunlight it was concluded to protract the voyage to this place, to take a view of the Kort and its memorable surround ings the famous Kip Kaps, which forty years t labor have not yet served to complete; fcewttU'B Toint, once studded with Rebel bat teries, and awakening; loudest echoes with the thuuderinp roar of its cannon; Newport News, the scene of that terrible naval oonllict that lost to us many heroic lives, and those spL'ndid fripates, the Connress and Cumberland, and where once lay encamped the Army of the I'otomac and. if time permitted, to take a glimpse of Crancy Island, so historically re nowned in the war of the Revolution, in thd war ol 112, and in the lust and niot tearful war cl all, against the allied forces ot tha rebellious houtii. ARRIVAL OF BESETTING DIFFICULTIES. At eleven A. 51. the cutter Northerner threw out its lines upon the Baltimore stauil)oiit wharl. Secretary McCulloch and party, wiih Captain Mc(!ovan, ol the cutter, proceeded at once to the l''ort. But neither the high olliclal Sosition ot the distinguished visitor, or proper isplay of navnl gilt oecoratina; the sle.jve and shoulders of Captain Mctiowan, could ghinthera admission without a pass. "I am Secretary McCulloch," plead the official Lead of our national finances. "I don't care if you was President Johnson himself, you couldn't eo in here without a pass," insisted the unyielding sentinel. A few minutes delay art matters right. The sentinel submitted the case to the orporal of the guard, who submitted it to the sergeant, as next higher in rank, who submitted it to Cap tain Heck, officer of the day, who submitted it to General Miles, who presented himselt in per son, and who graciously allowed them to puss in. After this process, which to some ot the paity roust have revived recollections of that smeuliirly cumulative chain of events connected with the house that Jack built, there was no fuither difficulty. The party enjoyed the free dom ol the lor t. Ttiey walked to headquarters, took the round of the casemate, and made the frrand circuit of the parapet, that is to say, the ady visitors and Captain Mcliowan, who in the meantime had been introduced to and ioinei by tcveial officers and ladies ot the fort. While these were walking, ta king, and sight seeing, Secretary McCulloch employed his time ditl'er cntly. THE SECRETARY CALLS ON JEFF. DAVIS. Shortly after making himself known to Gene ral Miles, Secretary McCulloch expressed a de sire to visit Jeff Davis. Of course such a request, coming from such a high official, could not be refused. The interview lasted over an hour. No one was present during the interview. Not coming in an official capacity, the visit of the Secretary did not in the slightest degree par take of the character ot an otlieial visit, and it would be simply absurd to attach to it the lease significance as bearing upon the future disposal ol Mr. Davis. A simple desire to see the man, and have a social chat with him as man to man, was, doubtless, the controlling impulse and desire of the Secretary. And such was the nature of the interview. It was nothing more than the social interchange of thought ind feelings between two great minds. Many topics, it is to be presumed, were discussed, in which the shrewd, cultivated, and incisive vigor of their diverse minds and views ihone out with brilliant eflVct. A prisoner, and particularly one possessing the largj degree ot egotism characterizing Mr.'Davis, the latter, it is reasonable to conclude, could not be restrained from speaking of himself, and it was natural he should seek to divert the channel of conversation in that direc tion and betray a palpable eagerness to speak of his long imprisonment, his im paired health, and eagerness to be tried. Mr. McCulloch listened no doubt with mingled politeness and patience to these diversions; but all that could be wrung from him by his adroit interlocutor was the simple hope and assurance that justice would be done him. Thus the con ference began, continued, and ended. Whether Mr. McCulloch went away with a better opinion of Mr. Davis than before his talk with him is best known to himself. Whatever his impres sion, it is not at all probable that it will swerve him in the least from what, in his high officirrt character, he considers his duty to him as a Mate prisoner. A TtSITOK TO MRS, DAVIS. Mrs. Davis is likewise honored with a visit from one of the party arriving in the Northerner. Her visitor was the colored steward of Secretary McCulloch, who bore him company to cater for him in his health-seeking trip. This colored disciple of Soyer in former years had been one of the lamily servants of Mr. Davis. He was re ceived with becoming cordiality, and expressed himself greatly pleased with his visit. About the same ttme another visitor called on Mrs. Davis. The latter visitor was a gentleman Irom' Richmond, who brought her as a present from the ladies of Richmond, a magnificent silk dress, and a costly variety ot other articles appertain ing to a lady's toilet. It is said that a portion ot the pit t embraced a tolerably cumbrous roll of Uncle Sam's greenbacks; but the lattr part of the story is rumor, I do not vouch for its cor rectness. SIGHTS ABOUT THE HARBOR AND DEPARTURE. Rrevet Brigadier-General Burton, comman dant of the post, accompanied to the cutter the ladies of Secretary McCulloch s party. Half an hour atlerwanis the Secretary made his appear ance, Malor-Gcnoral Miles, commanding the dis trict, coming with him. At two P. M. the steamer lett and completed the programme Bet iorth above; that U. took a circuit ol the harbor, viewing In turn the Rip Raps, Sewed's Point, Newport News, and Craney Island. Two hours passed in this inspecting circuit, when the cutter headvd ut the bay on her return to Washington. -N. Y.
