Davis wilt not give much eclat to tne romance of modern chivalry. Tins last ditch which the rebel President was making or, was a swanip, and not the twvmivwoA of the rebels. -But Jeff, had no idea of dicing lu cither a swamp or ditch. Ho resolved to live and not to die, and instead cf burying himself in the "Inst ditch" of hU generals, iliia unrisr of chivalry, throu&ed himself in !f..' nnitirnnt. Jeff, had no ictea of . . f " - making an unsightly orpso of himself, ana fullv determined, if he rnt to buried, he would be buried alive.

HARDEE ON SI.AVEUY. What is called "the South" that is the Slave Power is thoroughly beaten, and frankly owns it. There never was a more complete defeat nor a franker confession of it. Take the following report by a Jfrrald correspondent of a talk on the 2d inst. at Greensborough, N. C, with Lieut.-Gcn. Hardee, one of the ablest and most distin guished Rebel leaders throughout the con-, flict: Gen. Hardee received me in a very cordiul, generous, unreserved manner. He and I talked freely tn all subjects of interest at the present time. In speaking of the war, he made this remarkable assertion: Sir, 1 accept this war as the providence of God. He intended that the laee thould be free, and note he J'rte. Slavery was never a paying institution. I have often told my friends so. For instance, my wife owned about 100 ne groes; 40 of the 100 were useless for work, yet she had to feed these 40 in order to get the work of the other 00. The negro will be worse off for this war. Will any of your Abolitionists of VortK fo md ciouie hal f-n-flo7.cn little children in order to get tho work of a man and womini? Sir, our people can pay the working negroes a fair compensation for their services, and let thera tuke care of their own families, and then have as much left at the end of the year as w e had under tho old system." "General, do you think wo will soon have real peace?" "1 do. I think the people of tho South we anxious for it. They wanted it two rears ago. I then saw that our causo could lot succeed." "Will we not have guerrilla warfare?" "So help me God, sir, if we do, I am will Dg and ready to fight to put an end to it." "Is the same sentiment entertained by the ther general officers who have been in the lonfedcrule service!" "It is. I have not the slightest doubt but tat ihcy will use every means they can iiumand to bring quietness and security ain in the land. They will in no wise ipport those who do not obey the laws." "How will it be in South Carolina?" "South Carolina is tho worst whipped .ate in tho Union." "But will not her leading spirits control e masses'!" "They, too, are crushed. She has no lead g spirits now. Let me impress it upon u that the people of tho South want to e in peace with the people of the North, d you will find they will do it. They 11 do it cheefully, provided your Govcru nt does not resort to harsh measures. If docs resort to such measures, I caunot iwer tor the consequences. We staked all on the success of our arm?, and they cd us; and now we are willing to return and livo under tho laws of the United tes as we find them, although they may bo as wo would desire to have them." uly JToliUwou says Ilic Debt must be put J.

Jefferson Davis, tho man who, with hi3 Staff has been taken bv the United Slates authorities, is very generally known as hav ing been the representative-head of the great Rebellion. On that account, it is true that some interest attaches to his antece dents: and while everybody knows w ho he is, there may bo some who care to know who he was. Jeff. Davis was born in the same State (Kentucky) and in the same year (1808) that gave birth to Aorubam Liucoln. Davis was bom on June 3d, and was the sou of James Davis, a norsc-iraucr ol Ilopkinsviilc, Kentucky. 1 he lather lell under suspision as a horse thief, and was forced to fly from justice. He settled, when Jeff was very young, near icksburg, Miss. At that lime iioisc and negro traders nnd horse thieves, when rich, were admissible to Mississippi society, mid old Davis hnd little ditiiculty in establish ment himself in life. He wan nlilc, a few years after, to send his sou to Kentucky, lo complete his education at the Transylvur.ia University, Lexington. He had, in fact, be come so popular through the influence of his money and popular manners as to be able to secure for his hopeful progeny an appointment to West Point, which young Jeff, entered at sixteen, forming part of the graduating class of 1823. lie graduatei. near the foot of the class, and was commis sioned in the First Infantry us brevet second lieutenant, thu lowest runk that could be gtven him. lie was sent to Florida and served very creditably with Zach. Taylor, in the Black Hawk war, for which ho got a commission as first lieutenant in the First Dragoons. In 1832 he offended General Taylor by running away with and marrying his'duughtcr, and the old General Never recogni'zed Davis until they happened to meet on the battle field of Buena Vista, Mexico. In 1835, Davis bavcing- resigned his commission settled near Vicksburg, and entered upon the arena of politics, in w hich he was so far successful as to be elected to the lower house of Con gress. When tho Mexican war broke out, Davis raised and commanded the First Regi ment of Mississippi liilles. The only signifi cant featurein his career was the' fact that h , .. , tt .. o. e declined a United States commission ns in igaiuer-ueiierai oi volunteers en me ground that such Federal Executive rights. an appointment by the was violation of Statu He re-entered political life in 1817, hav ing been appointed by the Governor of Mis sissippi to till a vacancy in the United States caused by tho death el' Mr. Speight. At the ensuing election, in 1843. lie was elected to till thu term expiring in ' 1851. On his re turn to Mississippi he became the State Rights candidate lor Governor, but was de feated by "Little Fidget" Foot, his life-time enemy who is now lying in Ludlow street Jail, Xew York. About the same time he stumped tho State for the purpose of advo cating the repudtition of thu State debt, and was subsequently honored as tho originator and-prime mover of thut great swindle. In 1833 ho was re elected United. States Sena tor from Mississippi, which he held until his resignation (January, 1861) on the seces sion of his State. He was chosen Provision al Presideut of the liebel Confederation of States, Febuary 22, 1801, and re elected in 1802 lor the term of sis years, for.only half of which he will bo permitted to act. Ou the fall of Richmond, Davis, acknowledging thu hopelessness of his cause, fled southward stopping for a few days at Danville, but soon afterward pushing for the Fiorida coast. He passed through Charleston, N. C, on April 33, aud Yorkville, on tho 24th, closely pursued by Stoueman'a Cavalry, and guarded by a brigade ol cavalry, under Oen. U. G. Dibbrell, and was Unally taken as de tailed by telegraph. Treatment ofCows ItVfore Calving;. A correspondent of the New York World says that the following treatment has been tried for many years and has never failed of having good effect on cows, lie says:-"Feed a good mess of wheat bran, and mix it a tablcspoonful of wood ashes each day for ten or twelve days previous to calving. I have never tried the ashes with other feed than bran, but think it would be beneficial. Bran is undoubtedly the best feed that can be given. FORT BRIDGER. Col. Dridger, tne proprietor of "Fort Bridgcr," so famous in connection with the history of the Mormon disturbances, settled in the vicinity or Salt Lake in 1833, and has since greatly distinguished himself as hunter, -trapper, trader, aud guide. In an interview with Gov. Cumming, on the a'o vance of the army to Utah, he stated to him, that some years since, while pursuing the buffalo, be had discovered an immense rock of pure crystal, through which the sun's rays were reflected with all the gorgeousnesi of the most magnificent rainbow, but that he had lost the place, and had never been able to rediscover it.

"If President Johnson lins not been misled with regard to Davis's complicity in the as snssinatiou of I'retidvnt Lincoln, we trus his to be first tried distinctly and avowcdl on that charge, rsot having seen the evi denca "in the Bureau of Military Justice,' we have no judgement as to its strength but we are advised that n leading New- York Democrat who knows the arch-rebel intimately is convinced of his guilt. A lady correspondent begs ns to sugges' that Mr. Davis should be compelled to weu: the usual costume ot women dcring the per lod of his imprisonment. No woman, si ilechiri'.-i. could wish him a severer minis sh i ment. She adds that if he were compelled to run in that dicsst one hour every day, as fast as when he wna captured, it would pro bably be. the death of him. -V. 1'. Tribune.
