cr more heartily than .young ladies .gen
erally do we had more "dancing, and I
hinted pretty strongly to Mr. Himby, that
.1 should like to try another waltz.
He didn't take the hint.
Finding it rather dry amusecicnt to
dance with my own Icind, I soon aban
doned that pleasure and persuaded Jen
nie to stroll off into the moonlight with
Inc. We found the grove a charming
place, full of picturesque little corners
and rustic seats: and great grey rocks
ldamnrr out into the river. Ou one side
of these latter a little bench was placed,
in a nook sheltered from the wind and
from the siht.
Ilcrc we sat. in the full flood of the
moonlight, and having just had diuner, I
felt wonderfully m need ot a cigar. Ac
cordingly, I went back to a little staud
near the ball-room and purchased several
of the wondering woman who sold re
frcshmcuts. Then returning to the scats
bv the rocks. I cave up all cares or fears'
for incognito, and reveled
m tne picas
tires of solitude the
fragrance
or my
cigar the moonlight and little Jennie's
presence.
How long we sat there !
We
talked
nnd laujrhed. and sane, and looked into
o a
each other's eyes, and told fortunes ; and
performed all the nonsensical operations
common among young pcoplc.just falling
in love with each other, and might have
remained there till now, for aught 1 know
had not the carriage been sent to convey
us home, and the rest of the company be
gan to wonder where we were.
This wonder begat questions, the ques
tions fears, and fears search, headed by
tho valiant liimby. They called, and
looked and listened, but our positiou down
in the sheltered nook amoug the rocks
prevented them from hearing us, or us
them.
At length they hit upon our path, and
all came along single file, until they got
to the open space above.
Then they saw a sight.
I was spread out in a free and easy po
Bition, my bonnet taken off, aud my hair
lowzelled up. One loot rested on tue
ground and the other on a rock, about
level with my head, (regardless of ankles
this time,) and there I sat, puffing away
in a very unlady-likc style."
Jennie was sitting close beside me with
her head almost on my shoulder, and her
small waist encircled by my arm. Just
as the. party came along above, I laughed
out in a loud masculine voice :
"Just to think of poor what's his
name IJiinby ! Suppose he knew that
he had been making love to a man
"Hush J""cried Jeuuie. "Look ! there
he is and, oh, my gracious I there is the
whole company !"
"Yes we arc fairly caught." It was of
no use for jne to clap on my bonnet and
assume my falsetto again they had all
eeen too much Jbr that. Beside, by this
time, Bob Styles and Maggie Lee were
doubtless "one flesh," and my disguise
was of no further importance, so I owned
op aud told the story.
Lawyer Biniby was in a rage. He
Vowed to kill me and squared off, but the
rest of the party laughed at him so un
mercifully, and suggested that we should
waltz it out together, that he finally cool
ed, and slunk away to take some private
conveyance to D ;
Bob Styles and I are living in a double
house together. He often saj's he owes
his wife to my masquerading, but he
doesn't feel under any obligations to me,
for I owe my wife to the same thing.
N. B. My wife's name is Jennie.
A Sensible Speech by a Whipped Rebel.
A uieetiug of "Southern people," de
scribed as "old residents of West Tennes
see, Arkansas and Mississippi," was held
in Memphis on the afternoon of the 1st.
There were about a thousand persons pres
ent, about two-thirds of whom were from
places outside our army lines, and many
of them original secessionists. Judge J.
T. Swayze presided, and made an able
speech, admitting the complete failure of
the rebellion, urging that property in the
negro must cease, and that it was the du
ty of the people to accept the result which
their own folly has brought upon them
Col. Grace of Arkansas, followed in a
speech, in which he said :.
Fellow citizens : I am the man who
drew up the ordinance of secession in tho
Legislature of Arkansas : I have been
in the field fighting against the Union for
nearly four years, but now I am a con.
quered and whipped man. As I was gal
lant in going out to fight, I now propose
to be gallant at surrendering, and submit
ting to the arms of the government that
we cannot whip. 1 have no contempt
for Federal authority now, if I ever had.
I do not think there is a manly bosom in
the South but that has higer respect for
Northern gallantry than when we wentinto
the fight. The authorities tells us to come
back and reconstruct the Union, that they
Will give us houorable terms. Do you
not think that people as brave as th
North are, that they are goin to risk
their reputation in war to turn around af
ter we have dispersed our armies and
give auything but honorable terms' It
is our duty to repent and go back to this
great national church repent, get abso
lution, and be baptized afresh. I know
we will receive honorable and just terms.
vi nen l nad an interview with the Presi
dent his heart seemed to be overflowing
with love toward the Southern people.
ii n m&b wem, out oi me union and threw
down the gage of battle, and the North
picked it up ; we fired the first gun, and
took the first fort Fort Sumter which
was taken hack a lew days ago. The
North seemed unwilling to fight; they
did not think we would fight, and so we
thought of them, but to our sorrow, we
nave lound out dinerent; they seemed to
spring up like mushrooms from all parts
of the earth. Before this war I never
saw a Federal officer, hardly. I never
felt the slightest oppression of the Feder
al Government j in fact, I never thought
wc had one until 1 went out to fightj then
I found we did have a government.
.Resolutions were adopted, declaring it
to fee' the duty and interest of Southern
3Bea to return to their allegiance, and
tfeat the Suited States ought to be mag
aianimous to forgive as she is powerful to
jutiish..

Jeff Davis at Fortress Monroe.
Jeff Davis, Alexander H. Stephens, C.
C. Clay, Confederate Postmaster General
Heagan, and Maj. Gen. Wheeler, the
Confederate hero, who so often, on paper,
whipped Gen. Fitzpatrick, on the great
march from Atlauta' to Savannah, are at
Fortress Monroe, Va., where they will be
held as prisoners, until they arc needed
for trial, at Washington. The work of
turning the casemates into cells for the
safe keeping of the prisoners is nearly
i i
completed ; workmen having ocen em
ployed upon them both night and day.

The Third- Series of Seven-Thirties.
The great success of 7-30 Loan must
always be looked upon as one of the most
powerful evidences of the' strength of
the United States Government, and of its
strong hold upon the confidence and af
fections of the people. Ou Saturday,
Jlav loth, the subscriptions were over
thirty million dollars, and for the week
ending on that day, over ninety-eight mil
lion dollars, and in the three months
that the Loan has been in charge of Mr.
Jay Cooke, over Jive Jinndrcd million dol
lars. These large receipts will cuable
the Treasury to pay ofi our armies as they
are disbanded, and to rapidly discharge
the various obligations that have been
incurred during the war. History will
show that a great war debt to individuals
has never before been so promptly paid ;
and we think all will agree that Secretary
McCulloch deserves great credit for the
ability he has manifested, not only in
securing the means, but for the finaucial
skill he has displayed in so directing these
vast receipts and disbursements as not for
a moment to disturb the equilibrium of
commerce, embarrass individuals, or in
any way tighten the money market. It
is doubtless true that the Secretary of the
Treasury might have negotiated the re
mainder of his loans at six per cent, in
terest instead of 7-30, but so much valua
ble time would necessarily have been lost
in popularizing a new loan that the great
object of the Government, viz., an im
mediate supply of money sufficient to pay
all the debts incident to the war would
have been defeated j and besides, the dif
ference of interest would not have been
equal to three days' expenses. The poli
cy may have looked "penny wise," but
the best financial authorities, well as com
mon sense, pronounced it "pound foolish."
As it is and will be, no soldier will go
home without his greenbacks, and the
(loathing debt in the shape of vouchers
requisitions, &c:, will be wiped out as ra
pidly as the proper officers can audit and
adjust the accounts.
The Second Series of the 7-30 Loan
was exhausted on Saturday, May 13th.
On Monday, the Secretary of the Treasuy
authorized Jay Cooke, the geuerel Sub
scription Agent for U. S. Securities, to
receive subscriptions for 230,000,000 of
a Third Series, which is all that is au
thorized by Congress, and is without
doubt the last loan at this high rate of
interest that will be offered by the Gov
ernment.
lhere is no change in the terms or
conditions of this Third Series, except
that the Government reserves the right
of paying interest at six per cent, in gold
instead of seven and three-tenths in cur
rency a right which would pre-suppose
a return to specie payments, and make
six per cent, in gold even better than the
.higher rate in currency a consummation
most devoutly to be wished.
m t rt
lhe privilege oi converting the notes
into 5.20 six per cent, gold bonds at the
end of three years, or receiving payment
at maturity, at the holder's option, is re
tain ea.
The first day of the Third Series opened
with a suscription within a fraction of
five millions, and the month of June will
certainly see the last of the 7-30s out of
market. How early m June we cannot
predict, but parties who wish to make
sure of a portion would do well to be in
time.
Full particulars niav be found in our
advertising columns.

Tribune Correspondence.
Hilton Head, S. C, May 16, 18G5.
The long agony is over. The head
and soul of the Southern Confederac', in
the person of Jeff. Davis, is now confined.
We were electrified at an early hour this
morning by a telegram from Savannah
that that arch-Rebel and traitor would
arrive here at 11 o'clock, to be forward
ed immediately to Washington.
Punctually at the time, that the stea
mer lllmilie arrived in this harbor, bring

Davis, with his wife and her sister and 3
children; Alex. H. Stephens, Mr.'lieagao,

and Lubbeck-of Davis's, staff, Maj. Morton
and Capt. Moody, Lieut. Hathaway, two
privates, and Howell, a brother of Mrs.
Davis, Ensign in the late Confederate
navy.
The steamer was not allowed to come
to the dock, but ran alongside the United
States Government transport Clyde, to
which the prisoners were transferred.
There was the greatest anxiety on the
part of all soldiers and citizens here for
privilege of seeing the man who has caused
the great desolation in the country, and
who is so soon all believe, to receive the
punishment due for his enormous crimes.
lhe orders, however, were very strict,
and but few persons were allowed to go
on board the Ch'de.

Pritchard, in
charge
of the prisoners.
your correspondent was permitted to visit
the steamer, and learned from the Colonel
and others the particulars of the capture,
which was made by a detachment of 128
men of the 4th Michigan Cavalry, under
Lieut.-Col. B. D. Pritchard about one
mile from Irwinsville, Ga., and abovt 100
miles southeast from Macon. The Colonel
learned on the 9th inst. where they were
encamped, and just before daylight on
the iutn surrounded tne camp, it was
supposed that Davis had a considerable
force as guard and a severe fight was ex
pected. By an unfortunate aud so far
unaccountable accident one part of the
force fired upon another, and before the
mistake was discovered two men were
killed and six others slightly wounded.
Capt. Hudson had placed a strong guard
around the tent where Davis was sup
posed to be, and when the firing com
menced, thinking his duty called him to
the fight, he left the tent in charge of a
Corporal with orders to let none pass out
The Corporal went to the door where he
was met by a lady, who proved to be Mrs
Davis, and who said that tent was occupi
ed by ladies and she hoped they might be
permitted to dress before disturbed.
Very soon, she again and voluntarily
appeared at the door, with another per
son in petticoats, mourning dress aud
woolen cloak, with a hood closely drawn
over the head and a pail on her arm.
Corporal ordered halt ! which was o
course obeyed, but Mrs. D. feelingly ap
pealed to the Corporal to allow her mo

oners, not to be allowed to get a little w
ter for their -morning ablutions. Mr
Corporal just then observed that the
morning dress was not quite long enoug
to conceal a pair of boots looking rather
too heavy for "mother to wear, and, with
his Spencer carbine presented to the aged
lady's head, ordered her to remove that
cloak. The argument was persuasive, e

removed and Jeff. Davis appeared in ful
view.
Davis said he should heve defended
himself if he had been armed even if he
had had a revolver he would have fought
with it as long as he could. The Colone
replied to him, that he didn't appear to
be in a very good fighting condition just
at that tunc.
After a hurried breakfast the party was
put in marching order. The pnsouers

band struck into the somewhat familiar
air of "John Brown's Body's Marching
On," it was too much for endurance, and
he actually fell prostrate in the ambulance,
and was kept concealed from view by his
mends tor a considerable time.
C. C. Clay was not captured, but wrote
to ben. Wilson that having learned that
a reward had been offered for his annre
hension as an accomplice in the assassina
tion of President Linclon. and feclinfr
entirely innocent ot such a charge, he
would at once give himself up for duo

Gen. Wheeler asked and expected to
be paroled, under the armistice granted
by Gen. Sherman, but Col. Pritchared
"couldn't see it." Instead of acepting
tne terms ot the armistice and laying
down his arms, the General undertook to
keep up the war, fighting his way through
the country, and the Colonel, decided
that his case must bo settled by higher
than his authority".
Col. Pritchard is a noble specimen of a
man and a model soldier. He is modest
and unassuming, but brave as a lion, and

When I was in Liverpool, England,
now about a year ago, there had just beeu
cnninlctcd a splendid brick mans on m
one of the most fashionable squares of
the city, which was generally known and
talked of as "having been erected from the
proceeds of the Confederate loan, and as
being intended tor the tuture residence
of Jefferson Davis, in the event of circum
stances forcing him to leave the country.
During my stay in Liverpool, the wind
ows of the house remained painted white,
which, according to the custom in that
citv. indicated that the house had been
engaged and waiting for its occupant-
circumstance which gave plausibility to
the town-talk of its being the sometime
residence of the fugitive President of the
Southern Confederacy. s

Pills, and cleanse out the disordered humors
purify the blood, and let the fluids move on
unobstructed in health again. They stimu
late the functions of the body into igorous
activity, purify the system from the obstruc
tions which makes disease. A cold settles
somewhere in the body, and deranges its nat
ural functions. These, if not relieved, react
upon themselves and the surrounding organs
producing general aggravations, suffering
and derangement. While in this condition,
take flyer's Pills, and see how directly they
restore the natural action of the syttem, and
with it the buoyant feeling of health
again. What is true and so apparent in
this trivial and common complaint is also
true in many of the deep seated and danger
ous distempers. The same purgative effect
expals them. Caused by similar obstructions
and derange. nents of the natural functions
of the body, they are rapidly and many of
them surely cured by the same means. None
who know the virtue of these Pills will ne
glect to. employ them when suffering from
th disorders they cure, such as Ileadacl.e
Foul Stomach, Dysentery, Bilious Cbmplaii.ta
Indigestion, Derangcnicut ol the Liver, Cos
tive'ness, Constipation, Heartburn. Rheuma
tism, Dropsy, Worms and Suppression, when
taken in large doses.
They are Sugar Coated, so that the most
sensitive can take them easily, and they are
surely the best purgative medicine yet" dis
covered. Ayer's Ague Cure.
For the speedy and certain Cure of J5j
tcrmittent Fever, or Chills and Fever,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fcrcr, Dumb
Affue, Periodical Headache or Billions
Headache, and .Billions Fevers, indeed
for the icholc class of diseases orijiua
ting in biliary derangement, caused by
the Malaria of miasmatic countries.
This remedy has rarely failed to cure the
severest cases o! Chills and Fever, and it has
this great advantage over oilier medicines,
that it subdues the complaint without injury
to the patient. It contains no quinine, or oth
er deleterious substance, nor does it produce
quinism or any injurious effect whatever.
Shaking brothers of the army and the west,
try it and you will endorse these assertions.
