Details and Incidents In his Captivity. Par
ticulars Concerning his Health and Habit,
together with many Conversations on Topic
oi Great Public lntere.-t. By Brevet LieiiteLunt
Colonel John J. Craven, M. D. 0. W. Careton,
New York. Philadelphia Agents: Messrs.
Ashmcad & Evans, No. 724 Cheonut street.
The fact that Dr. Craven kept an exact record
of all tho savings of JclTorson Davis from the
moment of being deputed as physician, and that
lie is enabled to present us in book form with so
minute a detail, is the best evidence of that
thrift, which would coin wealth out of events
transpiring around. We do cot blame tho I oc
tor for being Influenced by a laudable dosire to
acquire funds by accnmulating for publication all
the incidents of his patient's life, but is it within
the limits of official morality to give to the world
facts which only came to his knowledge in the
discharge ot his duty f Would Mr. Cameron be
justified in revealing secrets which only were
revealed to him wbrn the held the portfolio of
the War Office? We think not; and as it is
evident that all the events In the life of Davis
were designed to be kept sccrvt (else why the
exclusion of correspondents?), we cannot avoid
the belief that the incoherent conception of the
work was founded on a system not allowed by
the code of official honor. But Dr. Craven has
necn lit to take advantage of his posHion, and
we have only to deal with what he tells us
rather than with his motives. Tne work is one
of the most undeniable interest. It brings us
into tho cell of the caprive. It reveals his
opinions on the events ot the past, his Borrows,
his passlous, and give us his views on the pass
ing news of the day and the character of public
men. We do not now care whether his beliefs
are false or true, whether they have not been
viewed through the roseate glasses of per
sonal favor, but merely consider that, as the
avouched sayings of the prince ot traitors,
they cannot but bo of deep interest to our
readers.
Dr. Craven has something of the Jenkins in
"his composition. He narrates small points with
minute care, and describes with affecting pathos
tne solitary mouse which the captive fed. He
speaks of his meals, and gives us his fare, how
lie cat, what he cat, how he talked, and how
meek and Christian, and evidently innocent was
he of all misdeeds. In fact, from the affection
with which the Doctor speaks of Jeff., we cannot
but believe that imprisonment has wonderfully
improved his temper. Now it is a notorious
fact, that ho was one of the most irascible and
disagreeable men that ever appeared in the capi
tal. We do not mean discourteous, but bitterly
vindictive, and because of the unpleasant nature
of his dislikes, he was disagreeable to such us
did not please him. We have him pictured to us
as a sweet lamb, decked with all virtues, and
brutally chained by barbarians. That he is
querulous and fretful is fully revealed by the
work, and that he is extremely dogmaiical is
also attested. In fact he seems to have had a
"wonderful influence of the Doctor and his rules
in the atmosphere of his cell, remind us of the
conversation between "Hamlet" and 4,Polonius:"
"Hamlet. Do you to yonder cloud, that's almost
in shape of a camel?
Jol. By the mass, and 'tis like a camel, indeed!
Ham. iMothiLka it la a weasel.
I'ol. It is backed line a weasel.
Ham Or like a whale.
I'ol. "Very line a wiiale."
Snch was Davis' conversion of Craven. He
Ihought the air was damp. Craven was confi
dent it was not. He was sure the air was damp.
Craven was doubtfuL He was confident the
air was damp, and Craven concurred.
In order to give an idea of the work, we quote
freely before we speok of its general merits. In
his preface, after an anecdote almost pointless,
he says:
"This is the matorial part of mv preface, and con
tains the only apoloity 1 shall oiler in cae any over
sensitively loyal readers may loel, or affect to loel,
nocked on finding in the lollowintr pages some re
cord of tne imprisonment oi Jelfcrsou Davi, not
written to gloat over tne miBiortuues ot a lallon
enemy certainly nat aiming to palliate his political
or other errors; bnt to depict so much ot him as was
revoaiud to tho writer during a medical attendaiieo
of many months wtaile Mr. Davis lava prisoner in
Fortress Monroe, bhould any such objectors be
lonud, the writer believes uimseli safe In predicting
that they will be drawn pretty exclusively Irom that
loyal class who were uon-beliiffo.-ent, except in the
contracting line, and strictly non-coinbatant, save
lor higher percentages ot profit, during the recent
contest lor the Union."
From this it will be seen that Dr. Craven not
only seeks to give us a book whose avowed ob
ject is to excite sympathy for the arch Rebel,
but even goes so tar as to accuse all who do not
agree with him, and who see in his book an offen
sive defense of a traitor, either as "shoddy" or
'profiters by percentage." Now, we are neither
one nor the other, and yet the whole tone and
tenor of Dr. Craven's book i9 in opposition to
our sense ot justice and our political sentiments.
As to Davis' opinion on the various generals of
both the Northern and Southern armies, we
give his remarks entire:
To my question what ho thought of General
Giant, Mr. Davis replied that he tu a groat soldier
beyond uoubl, but ol a new school. It he had not
started witu an enormous accotmt in bank, his
checks would have been dishouoiud before tue cul
mination v as reached. At Suiloh ho was deleated
the lirt day, and would have been destroyed or
compelled to surrender next morning, but for
jHuoii's timely arrival with a fresn and well-disci-pliued
reiulort-emect, tue strength of which had
been vanous y stated.
"When teeretary of War, he thought McC'ellan
the ablest otlicer in tho army, aud had employed
nim on two important services as Military Com
missioner in the Crimea, aud to explore a route lor
the 1 acilio Kuliro.iU both oi whic duties had been
discharged in amiunnur io increase his roputatioa.
He organized the Army ot ibe i'otomao admirably,
but it required a commander of more dath to wield

Inr ha was versouail brave. Ou hW lirst lauding
in the l'einusula tntro iiaa beeu only seven thou
sand troops to meet him, and these he should have
rushed upon and overwhelmed at whatever cost.
Cautious, and winning to spare the blood ot his men,
he commenced a regular siege at Yorktown, giving
his enemies time to concentrate sulliciont numbers
and drive him back. As a magnanimous eueuiy he
respected Ucl'le lan, but thought he had been pro
moled too rapidly tor Us own ood uelore he had
ripeneu in command and cainej cue experience re
quisite for the supreme position. Had he been koot
in a subordinate capacity the two first years oi the
war. rising trom a division to a corus. ana thence to

"OI the officers on the Confederate side, Mr. Davis
spoke in high terms of General Leo, as a great sol
dier and pure Christian gentleman) also in praise
of iiragg and l'einberton, though the two latter,
from unavoidable clroumstancei and the hostility of
the party opposed to Mr. Davis, had not been ao
cotded the position due to their talents by public
opinion in fit her section. Pemberton made a splon
did def ne of Vlcksburg, and might have beon re
lieved it the oflioer commanding the army sent to

obey tho positive orders to attack General brant

If the same otlicer, who was upheld in command by
the anti-administration party, had vigorously at

wasted country his retreat little lees disastrous than

dier, taxing his place but the opportunity was thea
gone; and to ttili delay, mom than to any othor
cause, the Southern ceoplo will attribute their over
throw, whenever history comes lobe tiuly written."
As many may want to know Mr. Davis' views
on Reconstruction, we could avoid quotation by
merely saying that they substantially agreed
with the Democracy. We give, however, his
sentiment?:
"Asi lug Mr. Davis what wero his views In regard
to the reconduction ot ihe Union, he spoke pretty
ncariy verbatim as foiiows; this tenon no; oemt
condensed as with other conversations, but taken
down in full from memory, imineUiute.y on my
return to quarters:
"We could not otherwise doflne reconstruction,

"Ju replying to one who served through the war
for no othor purpose, as jou avow, than to defend
and maintain the iimon us oenued by tho Constitu
tion," continued Mr Davis, "theio can bo no ne
cessity lor considering any other policy than that
of re-etablisuiiig the lelauons ot aii the Sta.es and
their citizens to each other and iho United States
Government.
"Every man's experience must teach him that

"It is therefore probably to bo regretted that so
much ocluy has occurred in ihe work oi recousiruo-
on, because ol the enhancement thereby ot the
ditliculues in tho way ot spetdy aud cordial recon
ciliation. This opiuiou is quautied as 'probable.'
because of my want of recent intercourse with the
people. A short time belore tho clo-e ot the war,
the idea was infused into my o ople, as you are well
aware, tiiar it they would cease resistance, the Union
would be restored, and all their nxnts ot person
and property respected, save the property held in
slaves, which would be a question tor the courts. I
have no ooubt that a inaiuritv a verv luton ma
jority cf the Southern people accepted this pro
posed settlement witn singleness ot purpose; and
would, it conttdinply and generously treated, have
been now industriously engaged in repairing their
wiecked lertunes, without any thought ol again re
sisting or obstructing tho General uove.uuieut in
its ordinary luuctions.
"Uow.lar the putlio wealth would by this course
have coen increased, the public expenditures les
sened, may be measured by many hundred millions
ot dollais. it it be true that much has been lost,
morally and materially, by delay, it would soem that
uue policy imicates tue promptest action lu wuat
is termed reconstruction. The JSoith bays we have
tionu evil, and when bidding us 'cease to do evil'
bhould not prevent us 'learning, to uu web.' This
can only le done Dy removing all impediments to

Umon.
"r.mh House ol Congress is judee of tho election
and oualitieatiou of its own uimnbors. Tho Const!-
tuuou has i-ttticd the question of representation.
A constituency may lose sts rights lor a time by

but the right of representation is not impaired
thereby, and the mistake or abuse may be remedied
by a new election, l'est-oatbs are evil cou muaily,

who require bo totters, while men oi a diUbrent

ternity, aud not tO't okths, disabilities, and armies
quartored in the inteiior, must be re.ied upon to
restore tho Union and make it re-eilootive for the
cnus lor which it was lornicd.
"lieconsiructiun," continued Mr. Davis, "cannot
properly involve or be made to dtpend on those
social problems which have arisen from the sudden

home casual word dropped in debate, ti ou.b utteied
without a thought ot his exiauinco, would seem to
wound him to tne quick, aud agaiu lie would shrinlc
hue into the loll-imuosed isolation ot his eurlier aud
humbler life, as it to gain strug h irom touching
his mother earth. In a word, while othor members
ol the Menain wore Domocruta in theory or i.s tbuir
political latb, Mr. Johnson was a Democrat of
pride, conviction, and seJI-assertion- a uiau ot the
ncoule. who not onlv dosired no higher grade ot
Clarification, but eould not be forced into its accept
auce or retention when trtendiv etiorm were maae
to that end. He was an immense worker an I stu.

was unlimited, and to their decision he was always
ready to submit. One ef the people ry birth, he re
mained so by conviction, continually Ireournng to
his origin, thongh he was by no moans the oo'y
Senator of the Soath in like circumstances. Mr,
Davis mentioned Air a V, Brown, of Misislpp!,
who had been 1'ost master General under Tiesidint
Buchanan and several ot tior, who were of like Dc
mocratio education with Mr. Johnson, bat who
seemed to lorm, and in regard to whom it was tor
gotten by their asocats, tnat they had ever held
less social rark than that to which their talents aud
industry ha ralced tnetn of Mr. Johnson's charac
ter justice was an eminent feature, though not un-couplcd-as
true Justice rarely falls to be with
kindliness and generosity. He was eminently faith
ful to his word, and possersed a courage that took
the form of angry resistance if nrgd to do, or not
do, anything which might clash with hts eonvlolloni
ot duty. We was indilTerent to money, and careless
of praise or censure, when satisfied of the necessity
of any line of action. But for l is decided attitude
against secession, he would probably have been
given tlto place of Mr Stephens on the Presidential
ticket of the Confederacy, Mr. Stephens, indeed,
hold the same attitudo nn to the last moment; but
on the secession of his State, had two alternatives of
State or Federal 'treason,' as it nas called, pre
sented, and he chose the latter."
Viewing the book as a whole, we must say
that it n Herds a good instance of special plead
ing In favor of Davis. Every action is told so as
to excite sympathy. Every suffering is narrated,
and if the reader's feelings are not harrowed, it
w ill be because Dr. Craven cannot harrow them.
It is written in a clear, pleatant style, and lay
ing aside the evident intention ot the author to
aid Davis, we give it credit for being as interest
ing a narrative as has fallen under our notice.
