JEFF. DAVIS'S HEALTH.
Surgeon Oooper , o Official Report.
The following is the official report of Sur
geon Cooper, U. S. A., on the physical con
dition of Jeff. Davis. The examination was
ordered recently by the President :
FORTRESS MONROE, VA., May 9tb, 1866.
..Adjutant- General United States Army,
Washington : compliance with di
rections from the President of the United
States to me, given through the office of the
Adjutant-General, I have made a special
examination of State prisoner Jefferson
Davis, now in confinement at this post, and.
report the following to be the result of said
examination: He is considerably emaciated,
the tatty tissue having almost disappeared,
leaving his skin much shriveled; His
muscles are small, flaccid, and very
soft, and he has but little muscu
lar strength. He is quite weak and
debilitated. Consequently his gait is be
coming uneven and irregular. His digestive
organs are in comparatively:good condition,
but become quickly deranged under any
thing but the most carefully prepared food.
With a diet. disagreeing with him dyspeptic
symptoms promptly make their appearance.
soon followed by vertigo, severe facial and
cranial neuralgia, an erysipelatous inflam
mation of the posterior scalp and right side
of nose, which quickly affects the right eye,
the only sound one he now halbandextends
through the nasaldnet into the interior nose.
His nervous system is greatly de
ranged, being much prostrated - and
excessively irritable. Slight noises,
Which are scarcely perceptible to a man _in
robust health, cause him much pain, the
description of the sensation being as of one
flayed - and having every sentient nerve ex
posed to the waves of sound. Want of 51.e 9 .7,
has been a great and almost the priniapal
cause of his nervous excitability. grais has
been r•roduced by the tramp of the creak
ing boots of the sentinels on post round
the prison room, and the rfeLieval of the guard
at the expiration of every two hours, which
almost invariably 'wakes him. Prisoner
Davis states that he has scarcelyenjoyed over
two hours of sleep unbroken at one time
since hie confinement.. Means have
been taken, by placing matting on the
floors for the sentinel to walk on, to alle
viate this source of disturbance, but with
only partial success. His vital condition is
low, and he has but little recuperative force.
Should he be attacked by any of the severe
forms of disease to which the tide water
region of Virginia is subject. I, with reason,
fear for the result. A copy of this report I
have furnished to the Headquarters of the
Military District of Fortress Monroe, in
compliance with orders from the Major-
General Commanding.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,
GEO. E. COOPER, Surgeon U. S. A.
Opening of a New Railroad.
On Monday, May 14th, the first division
of the Warren and Franklin Railroad was
opened to the public. This section is fifteen
miles in length, and extends from Irvineton,
at the month of the Brokenstraw, on the
line of the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad,
to Tideoute, - one of the most important
in Oildom. The immediate vicinity
of Tideonte produces about fifteen hundred
barrels of. oil per diem, with many wells in
progress, and the amount stored in tanks
waiting for the Railroad was about twenty
five thousand barrels, when it opened. Th
graduation of the remainder of. the road is
nearly completed. and nothing Rill delay
the completion of the road as fast as the
track can be laid down, all the materials
being provided. A large force is at work,
and the second division, to West Hickory,
will be finished in about two weeks. This
is also a very important oil-producing point.
The whole road to Oil City will be finished
in July, and there is everyreason to believe
that the road will be the most profitable in
the State of Pennsylvania, both in freights
and passengers. It passes along the valley
of the Allegheny river, and has very
favorable grades and curvatures. The
Chief Engineer • and Superintendent of the
road is N. P. Hobart, Esq., formerly of, the
Reading Railroad.
Facts and Fancies.
The statement that the last performance
at the New York Academy of Music was
La Juive, is incorrect. The last thing that
was played at that establishment was a
stream from a steam fire engine.
A fair friend, of a botanical turn of mind,
sends us word that she never reads "Facts
and Fancies" without being reminded of
her "funneries." We understand her to
refer to "ferneries."
There was a certain propriety in the Fin
negans selecting Yeaatport for their ;first
great rising.
They have in Rome,
Ga., a chicken with
a double had, to beaks and four eyes. They
have had a bird of a similar sort in Austria
for many years.
The Congressional report says that Mr.
Alley moved to reduce the tax on boots and
shoes from two to one per cent. What are
the Southern people to do without attacks
on Alley-gaiters?
Napoleon's Position.
Napoleon made a significant speech at
Auxerre, France, on the 6th instant, in
which he said he detested the treaty . of 1815.
The Paris Bourse accepted it as a signal for
war. Severe panics set in and Rentes fell
two pei• cent.
The following is the speech in full:
•"I see•with pleasure that the memory of
the first:empire has not been effaced from
your minds. Believe me,for my own part,
I have inherited the feelings entertained by
the chief of my family for the energetic and
patriotic population, who sustained the
Emperor in good as in evil fortune.
"I have a debt of gratitude to discharge
towards Yonne. This department was the
first to give me its suffrages in 1818,because
it knew, with the majority of the French
people, that its interests were my interests,
and that I detested equally with them those
treaties of 1815 which it is now sought to make
the sole basis of our foreign policy. I thank
you for the sentiments you have expressed
towards me.
"Among you I breathe freely, for it is
among the working population, both in
town and country,that I find the real genius
of France."

Protestant, Episcopal Convention of the
Diocese of Pennsylvania.
TO DAY'S PROCEEDINGS.
The Convention reassembled this 'morning at St.
Andrew's Church, for devotional exereisea. Tne num
ber of persons present was not verry large, though the
main floor of the church was well filled. •
The reading of the service was particiPated In Or
a number of the clergy. including Bishop Vail, of Kan
sas, Rev. Dr. Howe, Rev. A. A. Marple. Rev. E. Y.
Buchanan, Rev. Mr. Cullen, Rev. Mr. Wadleigh, and
Rev. Mr. Edwards. _
During the service the 79th psalm was sung,beginning
With one accord let all the earth
To God their cheerful voices raise,'
and also the 104th hymn, commencing
0 Spirit or .the living 130 d
In all thy plentitude of grace"
The Rev . Eliphalet N Potter then delivered the
Convention sermon. Ificitextwas—"Behold the LaMb
of God who taketh away the sins of the world."—John,
Ist chap. ,IBth verse.
The discourse bad for its main thought the one great
central fact that a condemned, fallen world - must look
to Christ, the Lamb of God, for salvation. The speaker
described the effects of sin which had cursed the world.
Bespoke of our Savior being a sacrifice for that stn,
and then dwelt upon the lamb as a type of a sacrifice
which meant, according to the old dispensation, par•
don. cleansin deliverance. He alluded to Jewish
misapprehensions of Christ, and then proceeded to
speak of the universality Of the human idea that sacri
fice could save from the penalty of sin. No heathen
nation is devoid of that idea, even though their
Comprehension of such atonement may be
through a glass darkly." The speaker illustrated
his th ought of Christ, the Lamb of God, being the
central figure of religion, and His being our Saviour,
Leader and King. by describing the - Messiah o f .
Handel, and showing that though the chords and her
monies changed la this grand oratorio, yet the under
current was still the name. It was the idea of the
Messiah; it waa "Behold the Lamb of God who taketh
away the sins of the world." The story may be told
differently fa different ages, 3fet, it Is the same in all
cer.teries; Christ is still Our Saviour, Leader cud King.
He is still the sacrifice made for the
sins of the world,. COnselCUOlis and alone hie life and
'death; Illiferlnge• his knowledge and sympathy
with hp:amp—
must
shine in the dealings of the
Chars With the fallen world. He knocks at doors
which art and science cannot open,' and touches the
hiddet springs which control our - humanity,
The speaker passed on to consider the Old Testament
account of the sacrifice of Christ as a • foreshowing.
Heathen sacrifices, with their misty grandeur could be
regarded with awe, but they had no sequence; those
terrible rites did not indicate to humanity what the
Christian sacrifice had done. Were it not - for this tbre
showing of the sacrifice of the Lamb, we could not
maintain the validity of the Old Testament.
In closing the speaker dwelt,lst, on the voluntariness
of Christ's sacrifice as proving its grandeur; 2d; on its
heroism as being purely vicarious—the innocent suf
fering for the guilty. as our brave patriot soldiers have
done, though even in a. far more sublime manner,
and, fit ally. on the perfect satisfaction
to God, the Father, in that vicarious sacrifice his Son
bad made. The speaker then touched on the vicissi
tudes which the grand doctrine of the Cross bad suf
fered in the course of centuries. The Christian stand
ard bad many times been lowered, but oftener before
its professed friends than before its foes. Dogmas,
shibboleths and schisms had in th e sacred cause far
more than open attacks. Men like Renan and Rous
seau may been led astray, by the errors and the antag
onism they beheld in the conduct of the leaders of the
Church, rather than by any repulsion from the doc
trine of the Cross itself.
At the close of the sermon the Holy Sacrament was
administered, and at its conclusion the Convention re
assembled for business.

W2sMflcansy, May 23.—The feverish condition of fi
nancial affairs and the fluctuations in the premium on
Cold tena to unsettle values of merchandise generally,
but Breadstuffs keep up remarkably well and many
holders of Flour and Wheat are indifferent about
realizing at present quotations. There is no earport
demand for Flour, but there is rather more de
mand from home consumers. Among the Wes
we notice =I barrels I , Torthwestern extra at
$9 25 V barrel, 500 barrels do. do. extra family at $lO 25
to $ll, small lets of Penna. and Ohio do. do. at $lO Seto

and commands $6 25. In Corn Meal no change.
