A. H. Stevens a Prisoner.
Poorness Nownoi, May 20.-Since writing
my dispatch of' yesterday, it has been definitely
ascertained that Jeff. Davis and party are still
on board the steamer W. P. Clyde, anchored In
Hampton Roads. Col. Pritchard has boon
awaiting Instructions.
As Mon as the Clyde arrived yesterday a tele
gram wee sent to Gen. Halleck, at Richmond,
announcing the arrival of prisoners. For come
re.son Gen. Hallett: did not receive the dispatch
iv late in the evening, when It was too dark to
attempt the passage of the obstructions on the
James River; conseqnmnly Gen. Itelloek did not
reach here till twelve o'clock to•day. It is g re
sumed the delay In making disposal of the rebel
President and others, was occasioned by a dif
feretee to opinion to Gen. Ilaileck.
The prisoners now on board the steamer, com
prise, priscipaliv, the following persons: Jeff.
Davis, Mri. Davis and four children, her brother
and sister. A. H. Stephens, who surrendered to
nor cavalry while at his home, and who Is In
f.eble health, C. C. Clay and wife, General
Whetter and etao, and a Colonel Johnson, bc-
Meta many others of Importance and lesser
note.
Col. Treat, of Gen. Schofield's staff, arrived
- et a late hour last n!ght front Newbern, North
Carolina, with fire tons of archives and (men
tions, pertaining to the lam Southern Canted
erecy. 'they were captured a few days Mace
I y a portion ofonr forces at Charlotte.
It will be remembered that when Lee's army
evacuated Richmond the rebel archives were Im
mediately Consigned to the flames. A tarps, por
tion of documents, fie., relative to Congroes,
.tc., were packed up and important ones sent' to
Charlotte, the rebels little dreaming that with
all their deep laid plots and secrets they would
co shortly fall into the hands of our govern
ment. On reaching here they were immediately
ttansferred to the steamer Martha* Washing
toe, and rent to Washington.
Davis, Stephens, Regan, and the others
' , muted to have no proper appreciation of the pa
s:Mon In which they were !minding. Davis him
self, It is asserted, has no ides that anything be
yond banishment will be his lot. Stephens
thought the proper way to start a civil govern•
meet again would be to Institute measures Tor
the repearof the ordinances of secession. ask
be that mean' .restore our original relations.
Regan thought tbere'vrauld be no difileuity in
haunting about good feeling. provided diatom
ehisemeut azd eontiseatioa were not carried too
far. .

be assured I will know how to appreciate the re

While at Raleigh, we got some news from the
NorttrCarollna Meander(' and Raleigh Proven,
at the rate of ten cents per half sheet; but we
want Northern papers, and they can seldom be
produred. Hoping that this feeling Ia partially
reciprocated—that you and your readers like to

some ruminations, speculations and observations
of a member of the al army corps, which re

have advantages for learning their sentiments
and feelings, not enjoyed by the people of the

First and Second alviskras marched from Raleigh,
Jinance of sixty two miles, arriving here at
neon on the ?eh inst., having been less than
five days on the march. The Third diirision•
came by rail. It Is understood that the carps
will be scattered through the Western part of the
State. Our division (First) goes to Charlotte In
a few days. .
From present Indications, a small mmtary
force will be aufficient to preserve ordag,Lo North'
Carolina. Squads from the rebel armree retdrn

over. There Is little cause to fear guerrilla war
fare, the boasted ultimatum of the Southern
chivalry. Let those gaeniliss who are caught
be promptly tied op by the necks, and there will

A marked change is visible in the demeanor of
of the Southern people since the downfall of the

There is a great deal of growling In North Cat
olina about the hardship done to the old slave
holders by &Acing them of their slaves Jost
as the spring crope"are abbot to be attended to;
that neither master or slave will have anything
to live on through the coming year; and that a
large portion of the slaves who have families
will leave their wives and children on their mas
ter's bands to support. The former masters
can easily remedy . 'this inconvenience. The
black man row being a freeman, Is at liberty to
mike a contract for sedges f9r his labor. As its
now hot to support Maisel( and family, his for.
raer master is relieved of that duty. The neces
sities of the black man will compel him to go to
labs* All that is therefore required Is for the
former slaveholders to make up their minds to
employ these now freemen at wages, and the
danger of starvation will disappear at once,
The mutual wants and interests of the two will
soon reake , their new relations easy to both. If
the black than will not work for his own advan
tage as is alleged he will be superceded by white
labor which will flow Into the country. But the
black man has not yet been tried, and It wont,'
be unfair to assume what his exertions will be
when begets all the benefit of his labor from
what be did when MB muter got it all.
