JEFFERSON DAVIS. More About the Late Interview ait Fort ress Monroe Condition of the Prl oner. ' From the Petersburg Intlex, September 21. The following is the continuation of the Rev. Mr. Kcilj'a nanatlve of his interview with ex President lavip: Mr. Davis was d re? Red in a plain, neat, somewhat worn suit of black, which hung rather loosoly upon bl person. His dres lrock coat, especially seemed too large for him. As he leaned nyon my arm, I eonld measure by my own muscular seue. with tolerable accuracy, the great decline In his pltyaique. All his senses teemed to me to be prrternatuially aente, especially his bearing. He has lot the ue ot one eye; the other (s quite acute, as was evinced by this incident; I wa sitting nearest the door during a very interesting conversation, in which he wan more than nsnallv animated and interesting. A shadow seemed to me to be lust passing by tne door parsing on, his quick perception ascertained that it was approaching as a probable "eaves dropner," and he motioned ns into the casemate. Ills whole being, body, soul, and spirit seemed to me to be like an idea, set sitive plant. Mot omy outward thiuvs affect him deeply, but the very aroma of thought, as yet unspoken, perhaps scarcely formed, is leu bv him in some ap parently mysterious manuer. I road in ''Jung Still ing," many, many years ago, something about this, and 1 ron ember something of Meander's explana tion bat it is only the dream of a dream, the shadow of a vanished glory. I will return to this u train. His linen was white as the driven snow his neck C oth neatly adjusted his bands lanltlossiy neat and bis upper beard c osely shaved, but with all this neatness, thrre was an sir ol subd tod dignity, of saintly, serene humility that affoctod you too deep lor tears. There was still a leaven of the old tin poriAlness in bis voice, a nuance of a tone that Indi cated occasional l.igh temper, and, perhaps, gngry words. To a suggestion, that perhaps the 1 1-wlU mani fested towards him by some publio men might be caused by an unlorglv.ng spirit on their part, in view ot some ofleuse given Dv him. "That is quite probable. 1 have often been too angry. Though generally thoughtful and cautious even tendor to the lailingsof otbors yet when tliey crossed my path in the shape 01 preionse, falsehood, crait, orcant then these faults aroused outer anger for the ruoinont, tome limes utter a'ienation. This was all wiong. Oh I how pubic lue blunts our per ceptions as to tho higher delicacies tenuerueas, forbearance nutting the best construction on things, words, and persons, they are capa ble ol. I have erred in this particular but I bad often g eat piovocation; nover, how ever, have 1 uttored an angry undervaluing, or dmunoiatory sentiment, without believing that I hnd good cause lor so doing; and, in most cases, tlis country has already, or will hereafter iiud tnat I was right. 1 now Icel and acknowledge that I was some times wrong as to the tone or coloring 01 a phrase wluio under the excitement 01 debate, as, for In Blanco, when Mr. J olintou alter the Mexican war, n ade some remarks dorogatory of the West f'oint officers, 1 thouirht it strange that any man oi sense should think that tho tra ning of officers for duty, by a thorougn military education would rather dis quulilT them lor that duty, or what was the same thing, that nntrained officers did boitor tnan tne W'e t-rointers. In the course of rep y I made use of this remark : " Who would seloota tai.or to shoe a horso, or a blacksmith to make a coat." This gave personal olfeneo W Mr Johnson, who regarded it as a sheer personality. Nothing in the world was further from my thoughts Jo the query, whethot ho had anything to com plain of in his present treatment, ho replied that ho had not. The present commandant of the fort was a oldi r and a gen leman, who while diligent and faithful in the discharge of his duty to his Gov ernment was also forbearing and cons dera e as to ail the mirm'iVB of hi prison 1 1 to, and allowed him all 1 he indulgence ho required, whica was simply not to be insu tcd in tbe intolerable ways and manners he bad been by the creature who used every means to torment him before the arrival of General Burton. One of us told him that all the officers ol rank in the old army with whom we had in any wav como in contact, bad exprossed the opinion that he ought to have been released a year ago ; tbit some of thorn thought tnat be, as coniuiander-iu-chicf of the Confede racy, was virtually inciudid in the parole of these armies on their surrender, and ougbt to have been admitted to parole at once, but lor the mali cious axsassinatlon charge, which no one that knew him beli-vod. Mr. Javn sa d, "Thar grat ties mo very much. I was brought into frequent contact, both in the Mexican war and as Secretary of War under 1 resident Tierce, with many officers, and did thon and do now entertain a high senso of the chivalrous honor of many ol them, the Government may have been deceived by the testimony which has since turned out to be sheer perjury, tending to implicate me in the as pagination of President Lincoln; or it may have been tubject to one of those manias, which oc casionally, liko plagues, seize governments and communities; or what is most likely, a few uu prmc pied men, seeing an opportunity in the ex cited condition of the nation tor obtaining wealth and position through the instrumentality of villains suborned for the purpose, reaiiy did impose upon me uovernmenr, ana ie.1 tnem to be love lor a mo ment, in the whirl ot excitement, the statements put forth in tbe p oo amauon for my capture. But, gen. tlemen, my heart is a strangor to that plot These hands are unstained by innocent blood. No un righteous void has ever, during the Confederacy, auuereu 10 mono palms " tie uttered the last sen tence in a most solemn manner, holding up his hands and raising his face to heaven, and with such a holy, chilo-llke simplicity, that it is impossible for any words, however weird, to convey a half idea not an adequate one ot that touching soeue. The coming of the little child loto the inner case, mate, and climb ng into his father's arms, who had just leaned upon tho sola, gave oocasion to Mrs. Davis to make some remarks about her other chil dren, particularly those in Canada. Bishop Green then remarked that he would not have ventured to introduce the subject, but aa Mrs. Davis bad done so herself, he felt bound to say, as a Bishop of hor own chosen Church, he did not think BheJtaoted en tirely wisely in sending her children to a convent to be taught Mrs. Davis replied : "I was in Georgia, and had no money. Mo institution of my own church offered to teach my poor children. One day three (Sisters ot Charity came to see me and brought me five gold dollars, all tho money they had in the world; thoy almost forced me to take tho money, but I did not; they then offered to take my children to their school in the ne.gbborbood 01 Savannah, whore the air was cool, and they could bo comfortably cared for during the summer months. Th"n came an offer from a con vout school in Canada, whither, when 1 got per mission irointlie Government, which was not with rut (rreat trouble and difficulty, I too them. It Is tiue 1 tlo not wish them to oe Jlojnan Catholics, but. then, persons as good as they can possibly be and become, are and have been, and, doubtless will con tinue to bo lionian Catholics. Those good peop o were tho lirtst 10 oiler me tlioT help. I will never cease to be gratetitl to them lor it." Mr. Davis thon added, "Blhop, there never wastnore unauimity in any nation 01 the world than thoro was in the South ern Confederacy. It wouiii be invidious to single out any claKg of our people for special praise. The Churches and lii'iiistry were all, or near.y all, entirely devoted to our cause; but, as I said bolore, it it would not be regarded as iuvidious, 1 would say that the Catholioo ot t!ie South were conspicuously devoted to our cause. I could relate to you cases of great Buffering and trial to which they were sub jected and in no case did any of thotn ever flinch. 1 will relate one cut of an extraordinary kmc! (I must suppress this story tor the present ft shall lie publ.Bhed horeatier, with rohio accompaniments, lfl ivo.1 Besides, Bishop P10 Nouo was the only l'nuoo in the worid that really wished we'ltoour caut-e, and sent ns IiIb blessing.

The happiest hours of mylifowere once spent in a Catholio monastery, bv the way, Bisliou, 1 see our Chuieh in tho North is establish ing BistO' hoods, in imitation of the Catholics Haw do they work 1" "ho well." said the bishop, ' that 1 intend introducing them mto my diocese as soon as possible. Indeed, thoro are mauy good things and good people among t ie Catho ics, but I think, Mr. Davis, that our Church is good enough for us." Cur-elf, "Gontlemon it is to me iucred hie bow to reconcile it lo reason, in a madhouse world like this, where not only physical disease afflicts, more or less nine-tenths of the whole population, but v. h ere moral and mental depravity aflbots the whole race, and when tbe heaven-sent hea'ers, sealed and anointed for their misBion, are bo tew. Oh I it is terrible that tbey should waste their strength by imposing on one another, and, worst of all, stir up suite and bloodshed in carrying out their great commUsion, Let us all love one another, dear Birbop, and bear each other's infirmities, and par ticularly and especially at this great Junoture of our country's history, let our moderation be known to aJI men." In writing these letters I do not pretend to give Words or jdeat juet M Uiey were nttf?d( l pBlj g ye 'h'ir substance w'th sneh additions of my own as will serve to make them intelligible, and especially to give soon an idea 01 Mr Davis' character as mar serve to lemeve some hateinl preJndios entertained against him in the North In the Routh, I believe, we are nearly unanimous in our estimation ot bis moral wcrh and high standard of Intellee'nal es cel.'ence. We also know tbe mnreHatness and bene volence of bis disposition. Mauy of yon, good people of Petersburg, know what a great number ol Confederate 1 old err, liable to be shot for desertl m, but having some mitigating circumstances in thoir cases, be snared. r-i me oi yon know the case of a foolish yonng officer who msde a proposition to assassinate Presi dent Lincoln, which, alter reading was marked on the back, in Jeflerson Davis handwriting "Atro cious," and referred 10 tbe Secretary of War, who had tne vount officer court tnnrtialed and d smissed tb service for the "atrec ous" proposition. This poor boy, to expiate his folly, fell as an unrecog nized volunteer, at the bead of a brave band, at the first Wilderness fight. Yon all remember tbe case of Webster, the spy I found the poor lei low ironed in the Libby, when I wen' over to see about the case ot a voung idiotic Irishman, well known h re, who was to be shot next dar. Webster told me a plausible story. 1 carried thai story to the authorities, and beeged for a respite: it was granted, and it was not nntil I entirely tailed in liudlug any good causo lor a fnrther rospito that tie was executed.

Kuttia Moving The Treaty of 1856 to be Broken Probable Alliance of France and Prassia Asrainst P.ussia Russian Agents Creating Dissension in tl.o Christian Provinces of Turkey. 'n' Sept. 8) Correspondence London Times. There are uumihtakuhie symptoms abroad that Ru-ia is emercinp, iruin the state of apparent npnthy, us regards foreign affairs, in which she has sunk sinne the. Crimean war was clo.-ed by the treaty of Tails. Her Government has been aroused by the event of the last- two years, aod you may expect shortly to rcud a diplomatic circular from the St. Petetsburg loreisn oilice, in which a very decided tone will be taken. The Russian journal reicrred to by your Vienna correspondent In tne 2tmesot the 5tn inst. seems to Lave had au Inkling of this wnen it "boldly declared that, as the settlement of Europe made in 1S15 has been completely upset, there is no reason why Russia snould be bound by the treaty of Paris, in 185G, that tbe Black Sua must be ireo to ticrugttin, and that the injurious obll puiioiiB imposed on her by a coalition of the Western powers lire 110 loncer binding. 1 ven ture to assure you lhat this will be tound to b very much the (-train of the circular in question, in which the Russian Government remarks oil the system ot proceeding by violence that has become prevalent iu Europe fir the settlement of ct'sputed questions, instances the cases ol tho Parish Duchies, the Diuiubmn Principalities, and the recent war and annexations in Ger many, and declares her intention of aciine in future as her Interests dictate, and without showing greater ifgard to treaties than has been -liown by her neietaboi'o. Alter ten years, the Treaty of Paris is as gall ing to liu.-siu as on the first day, aud even more so, because she sues that others have rebelle I against and broken similar bonds. That treaty, as a shrewd diplomatist lately remarked to me, humiliated Russia without weakening her, aud so l:ir it was a mistuke. Hut since then Russia has revived and regained strength. She sees the political waters of Europe troubled, and she is disposed to lish in them. Maay persons imagine that in a year's time, when the great Paris Exhibition is drawing lo its close, we shnll be on the brink of a war between Fiance and Prussia. What it instead of that, wo saw the Eastern question opened, and France and Prussia in alliance? The tendency seems in t hut direction. We cannot imagine France attacking Prussia for the mere pleasure of beating her, and then retreating within her torraer limits always sup-pot-nut her victorious, which is by no menus certain. The object of such a war must be an extension ot frontier, and such an attempt would array the whole of Germany against France tbe Austrian Germans not excepted. Germany feels her strength, aud will relinquish ncue of territory. Ou the other h;ind, there are various indica tions that the Eastern question will again before long become prominent, and very probaoly the cause ol war. Russia is concentrating troops at Kharkov, a good central position, convenient for a start in various directions, in Servia, we learn lrom Vienna, large armaments have lor some time pat been making, and a great number ot riflpd caunon have been obtained. National committees are said to be active in the Christian provinces ot Turkey, and only wait a signal to bring about an insurrection. The hand of Rubbia is discovered in this, and Austria is on her guard. The Austrian Cousuls at Belgrade and Bucharest have been summoned to Vienna to supply information. According to a letter from Vienna, in the Patrie, the Emperor of Russia lately said to the minister of a foreign power that be "could not behold with inditierence the establishment in Europe of the principle of the predominance of lorce over right. On the same authority we leuin that orders have been given to Muiaii. iu the early months ot 18G7, the railways which are to connect Kiew with Lemberg, Odessa, aud Ballu; the line trom Kiew to Baita Is to be handed over to the Goverflment on the 1st of November next. The concession of a double line, which will put Kiew in direct communica tion with two important points of Gakcia has just been granted, although the Austrian Gov ernment is said to be not yet agreed with that of Russia on the strategical direction to bo givn to these two new lines. "The Conspiracy to Hang Jeff. Davis !"J Wir Department, Bureau of Militart Jus tice, Washington, D. C, September Tl. Mr. J nines Gordon Bennett. Sir: iu the Washing ton correspondence of the New York Herald of yesterday are found two letters, one purporting to have been written to myself by S. Conover, under date of "l'hiladelph'a. December 13, lbO'6," and the other stated to have been in clnted iu the former, and purporting to have beu written by M. N. Harris to "Friend Con over, under date of "liarrisbnrg, December 11, I8ti5." which letttrs are ollereil in support ot au atrocious calumny heretofore published against me by this same correspondent, au i lrom which my "vindication'' has appeared in the Chronicle ot this city, aud other journals; and 1 mn uow "challcnued to deny the genuine nets and truthfulness of these letters." 1 reply, I declare that uulil I saw these letters in tho Iwrald of yesterday I had never seen or hesrd of them, or of either ol them, or of their content.-; nor were the? letteis or either of thrni, or the subject matter of either, or the mini Harris, ever alluded to by Conover in his correspondence, or in any of his numerous per sonal conferences with nie. I pronounce them, therefore, to bo base lubrications, made for the purpose of adjustment to my note to Conover under date of 15th December, 18G5, with a view of giving to thnt note a totally unwarrantable signification. That noto is alleged by your cor respondent to nave been written in renly to Conover'B pretended letter to nie of "Puihidel phia. 13tU December, 18ti5," which allegation is wholly untrue. Tuis note of mine, ou the contrary, was in answer to a telegraphic communication called, it seems, by me a "letter" seut to me by Cono ver from Montreal, under date of "13th Decem ber. 18ti5," in which it was stated be was there with three very im port ant witnesses, and expect ing another, and required more funds, and ask ing a remittance, and the $150 mentioned in my note was enclosed to him to meet necessary ex penses in bringing these four witnesses, with himself, to Washington. Neither the note Itself nor the remittance had any other object than thia, exespt tbe simple one ol urging bis speedy return to Washington. Time tbe stale article heretofore expc-aetl and denounced, of manufacturing letters and notes for the purpose of adjusting them to my own briel communications. In order to chancre their Import, is here icvived, and this aidacious work will no nouoi w continued so long as the public shall show iUell sufficiently credu lous or gillible to (five to these forged p tpcrs creditor consideration. I cannot but believe the American people too sensible and too honest to be the dupe of a trick so shallo and sbam' lo. All imputations calling In qnstion the strict integrity of my official action in any con nection with the "Conover testimony," as it Is termed, which may arise out of these papers, or from any other publication or source whatever, I pronounce malignantly false in their every intendment and implication. You will do me an act of simple Justice by giving the loregoing a place in your columns. J. Holt, Judge Advocate-General. Important Letter of Governor Well. New Orleans, September 20, 18i6. Governor Wells has addres-ed to a friend in Louisiana th following letter, which, better than am thing else, will explain his convictions of the political situation 8outti: fTATB of Louisiana. Executive Departent, New Orleans. September 18. 1800. -Thomas H. Jones, Esq , Arcadia, Parish of Blenvilb. Dear Sir: I was highly gratiticd at the receipt ot your tavor of the 10th instant, both for old ac quaintance sake and lor your manifestations of approval of my recent address to tbe loyal peoplo of the State. Knowing our steadfast foyelty to the Union amid perils that tried men's courage, I cxpfctfd nothing less ol you than your approbation and support of the principles and measures enunciated by the great Republi can party, looking to the reconstruetion of the States lately in Rebellion. For myself, I con scientiously believe th preservation of the Gov ernment and the satety of the lives of Union men in the South are iuvolved in their success. I don't wonder, ray friend, that you advert to the present condition of Union men in the State, and can sec but little dillerence between what they suffered under Rebel rule and what they now have to submit to. Their fidelity to the Government is a brand or stigma they are called nil sorts of namci, tho word "Yankee" being the most general, because. I suppose, con sidcied the most opprobrious they find them- sefves under the bau ot pro-cription, botti so cially and in their business ail'airs; in every parish w here the Rt-bel element is in a majority, they see men holding the principal offices at whose bands, perhaps, they and their iumilies were persecuted, and this," too, at a time when the State is still under martial law, and when garrisons of United States troops can be com mumcated with almost at a day's notice every wbre. In this list of grievances 1 have said nothing of threats of violence, and actual vio lence sutiered by Union meu. 1 have left ont the bloody record of the 30th of July in New Orleans, when Union men were murdered by wholesale in broad dayliirht, and with thousands of United States soldiers within hailing distance. Now, my friend, if these things are done when we are under the protec tion of tbe strong arm of the military, if the envenomed hatred of the men who labored for four years to destroy the Government could not be restrained, even in the pre.-ence of the mili tary, it is a serious subject tor reflection to what exteut this vengeauce will ho carried when una wed and unrestrained by the force of bayo nets. In my address, referred to, I gave it as my deliberate opinion that if the military forces were withdrawn, the lif of everv prominent Union man would be endangered. 1 still adhere to that opinion, aud will add by way of amend ment that unless the force is increased, I do not consider the protection thus afforded as a perfect security by any means. You know, my friend, I tried tl.e " conciliation" policy in this State thoroughly. I did so in good faith, and with a sincere desire lo heal the wounds of the country. The result you know as well as I do. I have and do acknowledge that it failed iu its object. Perhaps it is as well the experiment was tried. It lias demonstrated to the people of the loyal States the undying hostility of the spirit of slavery to free government. It has shown that the clemency extended to its advocates, who phi 11 tred tbe country into a bloody war, has been unavailing in winning them back to their allegiance, and the only policy by which the nation can be preserved l'romithese plotters for its overthrow is to punish the traitors, that, to use President Johnson's emphatic language, "treason may be forever rendered odious." That Congress will regulate all these matters at its next session Is not a matter for doubt. I1-first duty, as I conceive, will be to pass an enabling act, prescribing how the Rebel States shall bo reorganized. The first preliminary to thai end wilt of course be a convention from the people to form a Constitution, and in elect iner that convention 1 consider that Congress lia-- the constitutional right to say who shall vole and who 6hall not vote. When the Convention meets, the power rests in that body to fix and reaulate the ba-is of suf frage, the Constitution they may adopt betug submitted to Congress for its approval. This I understand to be the programme of the Republican party, and is a shorter as well as a more effectual method for the redress of our grievances, than by persisting in the assembling ot the Convention ot 18fil, as you suggest. After the murderous onslaught made on the members of that Convention, with the Mayor and his bloody police still m power, sustained and sup ported by the President of the United States, I consider that Convention no longer practicable. 1 see no alternative, therefore, but to await the meeting of Congress, to whose wisdom aad patriotism I have the highest confidence, and w ho I feel assured will take care ot Louisiaua. With thanks for your good wishes, I remain, very truly, your friend, J. ilADisos Wells, Governor of Louisiaua. THE irSOIAJN .
