Was it the fault of poor Barbara Dinwid

Anderson saw with anguish the old flag
ptilh-'d down, she was the most desperate
little Itebcl in all Dixie 1 By no meana I
At school, at home, at church, she bad been
taught that Slavery was the divinest of all
divine institutions; that all those outside
barbarians, known as Yankees, who ques
tioned its justice, Its policy, its eternal fit
ness, were worse than infidels; that those
favored individuals whose felicity it hnd
been to be born and bred under its patri
archal benignity were the mastrr race of
this contineut; and that one Southern man
could, with perfect ease to himself, and
without any risk whatever of any unpleas
ant consequences, whip and put hortde com
bat any five of the "homeless and tradition.
less race" that could be brought against
him.
Hud not Mr. Jefferson Davis so styled
them t and had he not said that he would
rather herd with hyenas than with Van-
keest Had not Mr. Yancey declared that
all the Yunkees were cowards? Had not
Mr. Walker, Secretary of State of the new
Confederacy, predicted that tbe "stars and

the same government, with the mean, in
tolerable mudsills of the Nnrthf The won- j
der was, Ihut the aforesaid . chivalry could
live under the same sun, breathe the same
atmosphere, with such miscreants.
Was it then, surprising that poor little
Barbara, receiving in her narrow sphere no
other political intluences than these, should
Hnd herself at the age of seventeen the most
eager of feminine sympathisers with Seces
sion I She burned to emulate Mrs. Green
bow, Belle Boyd, and other enterprising
Amazons who early in the war distinguish
ed themselves as spies or carriers for the
Itebcls. She almost blamed herself as re
creant, because she read with a shudder the
account of the Southern damsel who bade
her lover bring book, as the most precious
gilt he could lay at her feet, 1 ankee scalp.
She tried to persuade herself that those lit-
tie mementos, carved from 1 ankee nones,
winch were so fashionable at one lime
among vhe elitt of the "Scucsh" aristocracy,
would not shock her own sensitive heart.
Barbara s mother had doue much to en

Whatk rfirt inrit was fbr poof Mra. Din-
wlddie,: that dathat;'Deost uutier- rotio

more smoking s' cigar, and ewayir.g to
and fro careless!' on his horse t The poor
lady Was ready to Cuff Mr. Dinwiddle a tars,
because that wrthy citizens sat down to
his mutton and claret that diiy at dinner aa
coolly as If nothing had happened. Barba
ra wept, and sang "My Maryland" .and the
Bonnie Blue Fing" till she made herself
hoarse. 4 Shfthen glanced at. ft' photograph
of Colonr-'egfoln, and thought how well
he loo'' the conquering hero. ,
p.iidny came. It whs a blessed ' satisfac
tion Hint at the Church of St. Fortunatus
nil the communicants were friends of the
Rebellion The Reverend Bogus de Bogus'
was himself An extremist in bis advocacy
of Slavery and the Slavery and the Slave
Confederacy. But what was the consterna
tion of the whole assembly, at hearing him,
od that eventful Sabbath, pray for the Presi
dent and other authorities of the' United
States! ' Hud he been tampered with by the
Beast I What was the world coming to t
How intolerable that the solar System should
move on as regularly and indifferently as if
nothing hod happened.
The fnmcntvrs of Rebellion In the Monu
ment City continued hopeful, hotwiihstund-,
ing the defection of the Reverend Bogus de
Bogns. Mrs Dinwiddie almost worried
Dinwiddle's life out, tensing him for mouey
with which to buy quinine and percussion
caps to smuggle into Rcbcldnm. Barbara
worked till her taper little forefinger looked
like a nutnu-g-gratcr, making shirts and
drawers for the gallant Palmetto Tenth," In
which certain sprigs of aristocracy from
BalcUnore had hnd enlisted. The regiment
was commanded by that splendid fellow,
Charles Pegrnnt,
What was Burbiua's despair, on learning
that all the products of her labors had been
intercepted by the "Beast," and were safely
stored at "These hendqunrters !" Mrs. Din
widdie went into hysterics nt the news, but
was suddenly restored, on hearing Dinwid
die enter, and inquire in the . mort cold
blooded manner, "Why Isn't dinner ready?''
Falling upon that monster in human shape,
she crushed him so far ir.to into silence by
ber indignation, that he Was glad to make a
men! of a few crackers and a glass of ale
and then retire for his afternoon cigar to
the repose of his counting-room.
The war (the civil, not the domestic, wo
mean) went on. Battle succeeded battle,
and skirmish, skirmish, Jwith alternating
successes, when at last came the Emancipa
tion Proclamation, not in the earthquake,
nor in the whirlwind, but in the still small
voice. "Well, what of it? Tis a mere
paper bomb 1" said Belshnzzar at Richmond,
looking out on I.iliby and Belle Isle. Mrs.
Dinwiddie read the "Richmond Enquirer,"
and thought for the thousandth time, how
intolerable life would be, if ever egain Yan
kees wero to be suffered to live withiu a
thousand miles of a genuine descendant of
the Cavaliers. "Spaniels must be whipped
into subservience," said Mr.' Jefferson Davis,
alluding to the abhorred race north of Ma
son and and Dixon's line. -
'Yes,' they must be whipped V echoed
Mrs. Dinwiddie: and soon afterward came
news of the capture of New Orleans, of
Vicksburg, of Port Hudson, and ' at last
of Atlanta.' 'These horrid Yankees!' she
shriked. -';Whr don't we do something,'
Dinwiddie t If one Southerner can whip
five Yankees, why, in the name of common
sense, don't we do something f Speak, you
atupid, provoking man 1'
'Yes, yes, what was it vou.Hkcd I' meek
ly interrogated Dinwiddle, who was calcu
lating how much he had mnda in the recent
rise of United States fire-twenties.
'What wns itt Oh, 60 to your tobacco
casks, your coupons, atid your cotton, you
soulless, huckstering old man I You can
look on and see Abolitionism, getting ram
pant in this once proud city, and not. lift a
voice or a finger to save us from ruin! You
can see Maryland drifting into the horrible
abvss of Yankeeism and Anti-slrvery, and
keep on doing busiuess and minding the
paltry affairs of your counting-room, as if
all that gives grace and dignity to this
wretched State were not on the verge of
destruction ! If you'd had the spirit of a
hare, you'd have been a bngadier-geuernl iu
the Confederate nnny by this time.'
Dinwiddie was not a man of words. lie
had a wholesome horror of strong-minded
woman; and to that class be discovered, too
late for his peace, that his wife belonged.
So be simply replied, slightly stuttering, as
was his wont, except when excited.
'If I had joined the army, madam, I
should have have ve' ,
I should have what V
I should have been deprived of jour
ahem agreeable society; and then you
roicht have been a wid wid widow.'
'I should have been proud, Sir, to have
been your widow under such circumstances.'
'Thank you, Mrs. Dinwiddie: but being a
mod mod modest man myself, I'd rather
not moke my wire proud.'
'There's no danger of your ever doing
that. Sir,' quoth Madam ; 'but 1 thank Hea
ven we're not wholy disgraced. We have
a representative of our family in the Con
federate army, aiy son uuipepper may live
to make amends for his sire's degeneracy.'
Dinwiddie was beginning to get roused.
'My degeneracy, Madam ? Confound it,
Madam, where would you and your have
been, it I badu't saved yon all from pan
pau pauperism, Madam
It wus rare that Dinwiddie mad so long
a speech, and tbe lady waa astounded. '
'Sir,' said she, 'do you know it is a Cul
pepper of Thorn yog speak V '! ' . ' "
'Ucvillsii wen 1 Know it, nia mo excucu
Daniel; and whnt you air bad bufyonr
pride I never could find out; and what were
you proud of! Of a doien or two old fmi--ly
nig nig nigger i that were only a bill
of expense to that pompous old cove, your
father.'
Mrs. Dinwiddie began to grow livid with
exasperation. Her husband had touched
her on a tender point. . .!,,
'Go on. Sir, said she; '! see yonr drift. .
have suspected for some time that you were
going to play the renegade; to desert your
order; to cooperate with miscreant Yankees
In overturning our sacred institutions.'
' "Confound your sacred institutions, :Ma

'Played out, you monstrous blasphemer?

'Noble t Ah, yea,rrOoble, I suppose, when
it allowed its ruffians to ahooi4o bnd

tb support of tba Government !' ?
''You yourself tld at the time, Mr. Din
widdie, that H ycd theqp, rifbt."
r 'I'r.'ii '. t"l ' ' '
Dinwiddie winced. 1 for this was a blow
sqnare oil his forehead between his two eyes.
lie paused ftruj then, Without Knowing It,'
translated; the avoi ds of a Latin moralist, and
replied, '
- ''Times change-ahd wc change with them."
"You 'will Hi(l, air1, (tint a Culpepper
doesn't changeaid 'madam; and, with a
gesture of queoaly acorn, she swept with ex
pansive crinoline out of the room.
i "So the ice bnsmiken at last," muttered
Dinwiddie.'"! wouldn't have believed I
cook! have faced her so well. After all, I'm
i.ot sum that thcr military Is not my true
sphere,". i".": i .n ...
His soliloquy wns interrupted by the ring
of muskets on the sidewalk in front of his
bouse, and he jumped with a nervous horror.
Looking from tbe window, ha saw a file of
soldiers, and an officer hi tb United States
uniform, with one .arm in a sling, and the
hand of the other holding a drawn sword.
He waa a. pale, but handsome youth, and
looked up ns if to rend llio numc on the
door. Then, followed, by a sergeant, he
ascended tho steps and rang the bell.
."What the deuso is all this for, I wondcrl".
excluimed Dinwiddie; and iu his curiosity
he opened the outside door, anticipating the
negro' footman, Jero, who exenunged n
glance of intelligence with the millitary men.
"I am C'Hptnin Penrose, sir, "said the oflicer;
"this is Sergennt MncFusc; you, I believe,
bear the name on the door-plato before us."
Dinwiddie bowed nn affirmative. .
' "I have orders, sir," resumed tho officer,
"to search your house; and I will thank you
to give ine the opportuniny with as little
delay as possible, uud without communica
ting with any member of your family."
"But, cnp'.aiti, does anybody doubt my
loyalty t" . 1
"Jsp one, sir, that I urn aware of," replied
the captain, with a Btiavity that reassured
and captivated Dinwiddie. "We haven't the
slightest doubt, sir, of your thoroughly ioy
al and honorable conduct and intentions; but,
sir, there is nevertheless, a Rebel mail iu
your bouse at this moment. I'll thank you
to conduct us quietly to tsc little bathing
room communicating w ith your wife's apart
ment on the second story."
Dinwiddie saw through it all. Itc said
not a word, but led them tlio way up stairs.
"Wc shall have to pass through mndam's
room to get at the phice,' l;e remarked ; "for
the door is locked on the inside."
"Yes, but the key is out, and I have a
duplicate," replied 'the officer. "We will
enter by tho door that opens on this pas-snge-wny.
I will just give a gentle knock,
to learn whether any one is, in the bathing
room." He knocked, nnd there was no reply.
"I think wo may venture in," he said.
ne unlocked the door, and they entered
Captain Penrose, Sergeant MacFuse, Din
widdie and Nero. Tiic captain pointed to a
chest of drawers let into the wall, nnd said
"Now, sir, if you will open that lowest
drawer, I think you will find .what I am in
search of." ' ' '
Dinwiddie ' opened tho drawer, and a
strong smell of tobacco, iu which some furs
were packed, made him sneeze ; but the
enptain proved to bo correct in his surmise,
Nero displayed his Ivory in a broad grin,
and ' Dinwiddie lifted a small, but well
stuffed leather mull-bn!r.
At that moment the door leading into
.Mrs. Dinwiddie s npartment opened, and
that lady, followed by Barbara, made her
appearance: Nero's grin was at once trans
formed into a look of Intense solemnity,
"-t the wiitics nt nis eyea vcero lifted iu
sympathetic amazement.
Mndam's first effort wns to snatch tho
mail-bng from her husband; but he handed
it to Sergeant Mat-Fuse, wh, receiving it.
shouldeied bis mukct with military lor
mality.
"But this Is nn outrage, sir!" exclaimed
Mrs. Dinwiddie, finding words at length for
Her rage.
"Mudnm, " said Captain Penrose, "it car
ringe ought to be by this time nt the door.
Ilavt the goodness, you and your daughter,
to make the necessary preparations to ac

"I fcb ul I do no such thing!' said .Madam,
with set teeth, trembling with exasperation.
You will relieve me, I nm sure, mntinm."
said the captain, "of anything so painful as
the exercise 01 lorce.
Force!" cried madam; "yes, that would
be all in tho line of you dastardly Yankees,
to use force to unprotected women:
"Oh, mother" said Jtarbnra, shocked in
spite of hut Secession sympathies, ut the ma
ternal rudencs, and somewhat touched wj:h
al by the pale face and the slung arm of the
handsome young orncer, "1 am sure the gen

"Gentleman! Ha, ha, ha! You call him
a gentleman, do vou?" gasped Mrs. Dinwid
die, as, quite ln-side herself with passion, she
sank into a cnnir.
"Yes, molher," said Barbara, her heart
moved by a thrill as natural as that which
stirs the leaves of the embryo bud In MoV;
"yes, mother, I call him a gentleman; and I
hope you will do nothing to prevent his call
ins vou a lady."
Captain Peurose looked with a sudden
interest on the maiden. Stranso thnt he
hadn't noticed it before, but truly she was
very, very pretty! I.ignt, not too light, nair,
blue eyes; a charming figure; a face radiant
with sentiment and with intelligence; verily
in all Baltimore, so iti&tly lamed for beauti
ful women, he had not seen her Deer! Bur
bara dropped ' her eyes. Decidedly the
vounz officer's admiration was too ctuphati-
cany expressed in 111s gnmix.

There, mother, quotu' jiarhara, 'what

Nero, and Segennt MacFuse. ! .
No sooner hnd the military men quitted
the bouse than the dinner-bell rang. Ma
dam refused to make her appearance. ' Bar
bara came down and presided. Boys in the
street were crying the' news of Sherman's
capture of Suvunnah.
'Good for Sherman,' said Dinwiddie. Tra
devilish glad of it.' . . ' 1
Little Barbara looked up with consterna
tion, ; She loved her rather, but never before
had she heard from his lips . a decides! ex
pression of sympathy with the loyal cause.
True, for the last six months he ' had said
little on cither side, but from the absence of
any controversy between him and her mo
ther, Barbara imagined that their political
sentiments Were harmonious. ' ','
-' She made1 no reply to her father's remark,
but kept up in that little brain ot hers an
nuionnt of thinking that took away all her
appetite fur tho dessert. Mrs. Dinwiddie
entered before the inble was cleared.' Then
there wus a ring ol the door-bell. It wns the
postman. Nero brought in ft letter. Din
widdie looked at the address. 1
. "Tis a letter for Anjy,'. said he. 'The
handwriting tot k like Culpepper's.'
Anjy, or Angelina, was an old black cook,
one of the few surviving representatives of
the vanished glories of the eld Culpepper
estate. She had taken a livetV Interest in
the course of Maryland towardW ; and when
nt length that noble old Commonwealth
stripped off the lsst fetter from Iter limbs,
and trampled it tinder, her feet, Anjy was
loudest among the colored people "with her
Hallelujah. . Sho was no longer a slave,
thank the Loid ! There was a future of jus
tice, of self-respoct, of freedom, now dawn
ing upon her abused raco. .
As Anjy could not read, Barbara had been
duly authorized to open all her letters. She
did ao on this occasion,', read, tumed pale,
and exclaimed, ., .
Horrible I Oh, the villain !'
Whnt's the matter I' asked her father.
The letter was frotu hisson, Culpepper, to
the old family servant, and was in these
words: , . -
"Dkau As.it, I have very unpleasant
news to tell vou. Your son Tonv has been
shot by his master. Colonel Pegrnm, for re
fusing to fight against the iankees and try
ing to run away. Tony was much to blame.
He bad been a good boy till some confound
ed Abolitionists put it into his head thai
the Yankee scum were fighting the battles
of thu black man; when, ns you well know,
Anjy, tlio true friends ot the black man are
those who mean to keep him in that state of
slavery for which the Lord plainly. intended-
In in. liut lony got this foolish notion ot
the Abolitiouists into his head, and one day
frankly told the Colouel that he wouldn't
tiro a gun at the 1 aukeca to save bis town
life; whereupon tho Colonel very properly
had him whipped, aud pretty badly, too.
The next day Tony was caught trying to
make 11 is escape into tuv 1 ankee lines, lie
was brought belorc the Colonel, who told
him that, for your sake, Anjy, he would for
give him, if he would swear on the Bible
not to do so again, lony refused to Ejvear
this, began, to rave about his rights, and
finally declared that he was free, first under
God's law, next uuder the laws of the Uni
ted States, and finally under the laws of
Maryland. There were other negroes, slaves
of officers, near by, listening to all this wick
ed stuff, and PegVum felt the importance of
mnkinft an oxnmpio 1 so he drew his revol
ver nnd shot Tonv thronuh the heart. How
could he help it, Anjy ? You mustn't blame
the Colonel. W i'i telt he cnu'.dn't have
done otherwise. I saw Tony the minute
after he was shot. He died easy. I emptied
his pockets. There was nothing in them
but :i photograph of you, Anjy, a printed
proclamation by tho wretched Yankee ty
rant, Abe Lincoln, lind a handkerchief prin
ted us an American flag. I'm sorry at this
nfi'uir; but you must seek comfort in reli
gion, and pray that your poor deluded boy
may be forgiven lor his unlaithtulness and
bud conduct. Affectionately,..
"Cci.PErrr.it."
This letter was read aloud not by Bar
bara, nor by her father, but by Mrs. Din
widdic, who exclaimed as she UnUbed it.
'Here s the result ot vour innkee teach
ings. Mr. Dinwiddie ! There wasn't bet
ter boy in all Maryland, till the abolitionists
got hold of him. Pegruui served him just
riuht, just as 1 would havu done.'
Dinwiddie rose, pule, trembling ami all
his feature convulsed. Barbara covered
ber face with her hands and groaned. Never
before had slio seen such nn expression on
her father's face. Turning to his wife, he
said in a husky voice, which with a great
court he seemed to uiakc audible,
'Pegrum was a murderer ; and you
maduni, if you commend his act, liavo in
you the stutt out pi, which murderers are
made. Now hour me, you aud Miss Bar
bara here. Here I repudiate slavery, nnd
every man. woman, or child who helps by
word or deed to uphold such deviltry as
that you huru just read of. Long enough,
mndiiui. I've allowed mv conscience to bo
juggled, fouled, nnd blinded by your im
perious will and nlmird family pride. Tis
ended. This day I sulscribe ten thousand
dollar to the relief of the Georgia freed men,
made free by Sherman. Utter one syllable
against it, aud, so help me God, I'll make it
twenty thousand. Further: if either you or
your daughter shall dare, after this warning,
to lift a needle in behulf of this rebellion,
if I hear of either one of you lending your
self to the smuggling rtjbel mails, or giving
aid of any kiud to rebel emissaries, that
moment 1 give you up to tbe regulur au
thorities and disown you forever. You
kuow that I am a man of few threats; but
you also know that whut I say I mean.
Dinwiddie waited a full minute for reply
to this unparalleled outburst, and then left
the room with an air of dignity which nei
ther Barbara nor her mother had ever wit
nessed before. 1
The mother first broke silence. She be
gan with an hysterical laugh, and siid,
'If be thinks to involve me in his cow
ardly treason to the South, he'll find him
self "mistaken. Don't look so pale and
frightened, you foolish girl I Go ?d put
on your things for the Bee.'
The Bee was a society of fashionable la
dies, of pronounced disloyally, who met
onto a week to make up garmcuie for Ralte.1
officers, ' .
'I ahull go the Bee- no more, mather," said
Barbara 'besides, I have given my promise
to keep th house till I have permission to
quit It.' ,
'And do you venture to set your fater a
order above mine, you presuming gWit Are
you, too, going to desert the doutbern
causet' . ,
Barbara's reply waa Interrupted by the
ntranoe-of old Anjy. -The scene winch
had lust transpired had been faithfully
transerred to the memory of tbe listening

Mrs. Dinwiddie quailed a little as she met

'Mind what you say, Barbara!' ssld Mr.

'My dear, dear Anjy,' talcr Barbara, her
tears flowing afresh, ,crote up iu my room,

With a face teat-less and .inflexible, Anjy

heedless of every summons for them to come

MISCELLANEOUS.
The llaltlniore Iadlcsi nnd Their
Peiiltlou to the President.
From the National Int.llgeneer, 11th
The delegation of ladies from Baltimore,
headed by Mrs. Chapman Coleman, a daugh
ter of the late honored Senator Crittenden,
of Kentucky, who on last Monday presented
a petition signed by 1S.OO0 ladies of Balti
more, praying the pnrdon of Mr. Jefferson
Davis, have favored us with the substance
of theirpetition and nddressto the President,
with his reply nnd other interesting pat
ticulnrs. In the letter before us the lady who, at
the interview, so gracefully spoke for the
depudiation, acknowledges the kindness and
sympathy with 'which President Johnson
received them as being "worthy of the most
courtly knights of old," and testified with
peculiar earnestness to their lively apprecia
tion of tho deference nnd tenderness wlvic'j
characterized the President's every tone nnd
word. She says: "I have known many of!
the ereat men of the past. Mr. Clav. Mr.
Webster, nnd indeed all the distinguished
men of the country of my time, and in my
belief Andrew Johnson is n great man
among great men, and has' already taken
Ins place 111 the Irnnt rank, and will main
tain it to the end."
We subjoin the petition and the address,
with the brief but fueling reply of the
President :
I am fremblicg, Mr. Johnson; I know you
will not be impatient; my past intercourse
proved to . me thnt you were gentle and in
dulgent. The magnitude of the cause we
advocate alarms me.. "A faint cold fear
steals through uiy heart;". I know I cannot
do this cause justice. , "
We arc the representatives or nrtecn thou
sand women of the city of Baltimore; and
we come tremblingly, but hopefully, with a
petition. Tho Russians, from the highest
in the rank tn the lowest serf, call the Czar
father, and appeal to him ns such; we come
to you also as children to a father, "able
and willing to help." You have not quite
as many children as the Czar, but you Lave
a largc'fumily; we come in the unme of fif
tctn thousand of your daughters, the wcak-
r sex, aud tbcrcliire lliu uiuie entitled to
forbearance and indulgence. ith your
permission I will now read the petition :
"We the undersigned womejoi the city or
Baltimore, especially and earnestly pray (bat
your Excellency will be pleased to grant
vour pardon to Mr. Jefferson Davis, and re
store him to freedom. In approaching your
i-.xccnency witn tins pennon, your roc.
monalists obey not only tun charitable im
pulses of our sex, but their profouudest con
victions of humanity, patriotism, and sound
policy. They believe that no single mea
sure could possibly contribute so much ns
the release of Mr. Davis to the perfect re
storation of kindness and peace throughout
ihc hind, nnd they are sure thnt none would
be regarded elsewhere in the world as more
conclusive evidence of the confidence of our
Government nnd people in tho harmonious
and re-established unity of these States.
Your memorolists would not venture to sug
gest even the noblest personal considerations
to you Excellency in the performance of a
public fuuetion, but they trust It will bo re
garded in no such light if they express the
hope that your Excellency will be guided in
your determination by tho illustrious exam
ples of those nations and those rulers the
record of whose power is written in the gol
den letters of magnanimity and mercy."
Mrs. Coleman then continued: You have
our petition before you, and wc beg to add
a few remarks. Mr. President, almost every
act of your administration has been marked
by wisdom and moderation. Men's lienrtt
failed them for fear nt the time of the death
of Mr. Lincoln, but day the clouds have been
lifted, and we now see the silver lining clear
ly. One great act remains to be performed
liy yoo. Remember, 'tis the keystone that
makes the arch. All else that there is put
is nothing, till that come to bind and shut.
We usk the release of Mr. Davis; the uncon
ditional and immediate release. As the re
presentative of his party, ho bus lost ull.
You, a the representative of your party,
have gained alL 1 belisve him to be a good
and irreat man. He was mistaken, and has
suffered. He wns one of "the sons of the
morning," ami has fallen. Now he is a poor
old man. and. in addition In ull he has en
dured, he must bear about with him ulways
the bitter consciousness of defeat. A great
mind liko vour can appreciate that trial.
Now. In the evenlnn of life no. that is past.
in the nlcrht of life it must Ihj dark night
with him to tbe end. There Is but onu sin
irle solace lift him the loving presence of
his wife anil children. His little children
cry ont in their destitution upon their futhcr
for bread. th : near tneir young voices sr-

Mr. Johnson listened with marked atten.
tion, and licsitated for some momenta be
fore he mado reply. . Finally he said.. "That
he regretted more than he knew how .to ex
press that he could not grant tho petition,
and that it would give him far mojc plea

present tlian it would give them to have it
granted. "If," added ho, ,were simply a

would release. Mr. Davis tvtyjco: but it ia a
great; national question.. Mighty issue might
be involved, nnd now is not tbe time to take
such a step. I think' continued the Presi
dent, "I have the courage, or, aa you term -it,
Iodic?, pluck, to do my duty, and have
proved it. When tho proper time comes
tor the exercise of magnanimity, I, trust that
I shall not be wanting." " '
In referenco to the trial of Mr. Davis, Mr, '
Johnson snid: "Almost every arrsvtgement v
has been made for tho trial .of Mr. Davis,
but nobody enn tell what changes can be
brought about in the course of a few weeks.
A hasty and injudicious action in Ibis mat-
I ter might produce incalculable misery. Mr. .
uavis naa occn n gr.eut leader in tne war
against the Government, and it is but right
he should be tried by the laws of the land.
I sympathizo with him in bis sufferings.
His quarters hare beenohangedndjhiscon
ditions ameliorated."
In conclusion, Mr. Johnson said: "All
men, ladies, are under the .influence of wo
man, and I not less than .other men. You
are my jewels. I want your help and your
prayers."
