For some time,! finding that all the discussion was
on his own sid, he has kept silent on the subject.

says that much smoking makes him too nervous.
After dinner he jpaeses the time as before. He has
supper at half-past eight o'clock , and then directly
goes to bed. He sleeps pretty saundly, but more so
formerly than latterly. At first the light kept burn

become use to It and makes no complaint oa the sub

if he did. I
COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE QUBD.
In previous letters, I have described Mr. -Davis'
quarters and the1 guard placed over him. Both con
tinue the same as at first. He has been urgent to
have the guard in his own room, the rear room of the
casement two are kept constantly In both front and
back room and an officer with them removed and
kept in the front room. But his entreaty was of no
avail. Next hefdesired that the guard in his own
room might be allowed to stand instead of being kept
walking, but here, too, bisjrequest has not been com
plied with. "
CONDITION OF MR. CLAY.
Evry day Mr. Clay Is improving in health. He
still takes his jpOrnlng Roar's walk, and is in gre&tly
improved physcal condition on account of it, Dr.
Brancroft feeds! him on hospital diet yet : in fact hits
constitution is in no condition to s.taod stronger, food.
He is very lively and chatty if be can get ai.y one to
talk with him, and hopeful as to the future.
MB. JOHN MITCHELL.
Nothing seems to effect tbe physique of Mr.
Mitchel. He is apparently as good in health a3 on
the day he was brought here. He goes barefooted
most of the time; and takes things cosily and quietly.
His manners are not very conciliatory, nor calculated
to attach friendsjto him. I am told that he has cot
lately expressed aty fears as to the President pressing
a pardon upon him.
THE COUNSEL OF JEFF. DAVIS.
Washington, July 18, 1865. R. If. Giljrtt, who
is retained by some friends of Jeff. Davis, as the lat
ter's counsel, arrived here several days ago. He has
had no interview with his client, nor does he know
what course the government intends to pursue rel
ative to the triah
The Prisoners at Fort Wabken. The Boston
Traveller of a late date says:
"There are but a tew prisoners now at the Fort
and they keep themselves quite- close when visitors
go there. Among trios'? hetu fry the excursionists
yesterday were Gen'l Barton and H?-rry Gilmor,
though it might be supper d th.it fhe strains of Dixie'
and My Maryland,' from the band would have
brought them out, " the 'The Star spangled Banner'
o -Aa.ii. ju .ot fiilnmr is rather more re
tiring than he was a week or two since, and did nr.t
make a dess parade, as it is 3aid he does not fei par.
ticularly comfortable in view of the approaching trial
for treason.
"Vice-President Stephens, whose chances f?r life
are supposed to be good, is not to be seen except be
tween four and five in the afternoon, when he takes
his daily walk. The rest of tbe time he is kept un
der close guard. He is in fair spirits, and manifests
neither gloom regarding the present, nor forebodings
concerning the future.
L
Force of Habit.
The Louisville Journal publishes the following :
"The minister, who preached last night at the
Calvary Church has been a Chaplain in-the rebel
army, and in the prayer for the President, he un
consciously substituted the words "Uonreaerate
States" for United States. Being informed ot his
mistake, he made a satisfactory explanation, at-
i .. .... it - e -r 1 U ; f
triDuting it to tne iorce oi uuii,.
This savs the Nashville Union, reminds us of an
occurrence which took place in the rebel Senate, in
February, 1862J whilst it was organizing. A citi
zen of South Carolina had beaten A. H. H.. Dawson,
Esq., of Georgia, for Secretary of that body, and
when he presented himself at the bar, the Presi
dent, R. M. T. Hunter, rose to" administer the oath
ofoffioe. "You do hereby," said he, "solemnly
swear that you jwill faithfully, honestly and impar
tially discharge the duties of Secretary of the Sen
ate, and trua faith and allegiance bear to the Con
stitution of tKe 1 United States " Mr. Nash "No,
sir, J will net swear aqy such thing !" A general
titter ran around the chamber, Mr. Hunter blushed
"celestial rosy fed," and the snaky eyes of the gal
vanized mummy Stephens shone with increased
lustre. Hunter might have sheltered himself un
der the plea ofliorce of habit; but he did'nt.

RALEIGH, MONDAY, JULY
THE? CITY,
R. and 6. Railroad. It now appears that there
is little to add to the brif summary made Saturday
morning of the proceedings of the Stockholders of tie
Raleigh and Gas ten Railroad company. They organized
by the election of Hon. 4 John H. Bryan as chairman,
and tbe appointment of W. W. Vaas and C. B. Harrison
as Secretaries. . j- ' .
In explanation of the fact that n dividend had been
declared in December last, it was officially announced as
being attributable to the fact that Dr. Hawking, the
President of the improvement, had failed after the most
commendable effort to collect the heavy Indebtedness of
the (then) Confederate government.
It appears that the total number of shares of stock, nro
perly represented according to Gov. Holden'g instruc
tions, were 1,439; and 1 the nmmber excluded by same
authority, in accordance with the proclamation of the
President of the United States, reached 2,389. It is
probable that much of the excepted stock may not hare
beed obnoxious to the ruling of the Provisional Govern
or ; but it was deemed proper to withhold representation
front all stock which was- not known to be free from the
objection specified. ;
Under a resolution for conference with the Governor
as to the difficulties of organization and providing for,
adjournment till the first of August which was adopted
Messrs. R. H. Kingsbury; B. F. Moore and Albert John
son were constituted said! committee, so that when they
re-asserrble , we may confidently predict that all difficul
ties will have been removed.
The State proxy, Dr. E. A. Crudup announced the
State directory to consist of R. W. Dassiter, of Granville,
and Wiley Jones and W. 8. Mason, oi Wake.
Tbe reports -of the President, Treasurer and other offi
cers, were read and adopted, and we are glad to under
stand that their exhibits were as favorable as might have
been anticipated.
It ia unfortunate, perhaps, that the stockholders did
not take time by the forelock and qualify themselves
where disqualification existed for the meeting and repre
se ntation in it ; but it is hardly possible a like condition
of facts will remain on the re-assembling next month.
The present officers of the Company are as follows :
Preaidtnt Dr. Win. J. Hawkins.
Treasurer W. W. Vasa.
Superintendent P. A. Dunn.
The City Post Office. If -Jfcsiness men and
others in this community wish the post office, for the
delivery of their letters and papers, to remain open, they
must show a more liberal spirit than they have manifest
ed. We hear with astonishment that some merchants
and citizens have refused te contribute even a pittance to
waTds its perpetuation, which is not merely a sad com
mentary on their public spirit, but reflects severely on
their liberality, appreciation of correspondence with ab
sent friends and the extent of their trade. If the pres
ent volunteer incumbent of the office of postmaster should
retire from the causes referred to, w very much ques
tion whether there will be a reumption of the duties of
the office for months to conm It is a mere gratuity on
the part of Mr. Chas. H. Belvin to perform h
duU8 of the ont, and w hope that appreciation of his
energy, if nothing else, will induce the people to sustain
his efforts by liberal subscriptions for tbe incidentals of
the office.
Reunions among the People. We observe by
our exchanges and learn through the medium of letters,
that the people ia various sections of the State are giv
ing dinners to theii neighbors and friends who formerly
served in the Confederate rmy. It is represented that
the effect in all cases is to discourage local differences, to
confirm the people in their fealty to the government, avd
to harmonize all conflicting elements in behalf of peace
and prosperity. . We print in another place reference to
such an assemblage in Johnston county, combining with
it a suggestion that the people of Wake heretofore dis
tinguished for their hospitality should follow the exam
ple of their fellow citizens in that ceunty. . The idea will
doubtless be embraced and carried out at some point
wheh will be central.enough to bring together the largest
possible number of people. Suggestions as to time and
place, however, must come from some one more familiar
with the requisite facts than ourselves. Snch convoca
tions, we may .add, accomplish no harm, but on the con
trary promise much good.
Southern Express Company. This company of
which Mr. Frank Dewey is the agent, and Mr. B. W.
Starlte the chief clerk in this eity, is in the full tide of
operation. It has connections orN agencies north and
south of us. and affords the people all the conveniences
to which they were accustomed prior to the war. The
agent at Weldon is Mr. D B. McJBenrf, and at Charlotte
Mr. Thos. B. Gillespie. I
The Messengers between this point and Charlotte are
John Utly, Frank Houston, Thos. G. Tompkins and Wm.
F. Whitehurst, and between Raleigh and Weldon, P. C.
Harding.
The general Superintendent is F. Bates, an old and ex
perienced expressman.
The Adam's Express Company have messengers rw
ning regularly to Wilmington, Goldsboro', and Newbern
and from Richmond and Petershurg, via Danville, and to
all points north ' by this roate, or by steamer to New
York, carrying freights, monies, Ac
. y
Dangerous. A gentleman connected with the trans
portation department of the government here, informs
us thaf there is a large amount of fixed ammunition, shsll
and the like, in boxes at the depot of the North Carolina'
Central Road, as near the track as possible not to be on
it, and that it may at any moment be ignited by sparks
from an engine. It appears, too, that persons are in the
habit of breaking them open and taking what they want.
A guard was posted there this morning, but as he suggests,
its removal to a place of greater safety may prevent acci
dent. ! . r
'
A Rare Chance. Relying upon the data furnished
by a sale Satuiday, we advise' some man of enterprise to
enter Raleigh with a huge supply of furniture for parl(r,
chamber and dining room. The bidding on a lot
sold Saturday showed that the stock in the city was by
far inadequate,, most of the articles bringing enormous
prices. The fact is, after the wear and tear of four years
of war, people generally wish to? refurnish their housei.

24, 1865
NO. 213 '
PrOTOSt's Sanctum There was quite a row in the
market Saturday morning, caused by the soldiers of the
3rd New Hampshire, who arrived Friday night, pitching
into the carts of the country people. The riagleaders
were arrested and each did two hours duty at Turner's
corner, which is fast beaming a popular resort for all
such offenders.
A negro was arrested in Mr. Boylan'a orchard, caught
in the act of stealing a lot of peaches, and suffered the
ueaul penalty for theft a thumb" suspension.
Lieut. Graves, while walkingnear corps headquarters,
saw a soldier striking a negro, and in attempting' to ar
rest the man, another soldier iaterferred. Lt. G. then
struck the second man over the head with a stung shot,
and ordered him to come to the Provost Marshal's office.
He refused to come until a guard was called for. During
the melee, the first soldier escaped.
The man reported Saturday morning as Allen Johnson,
should have been Matthew Johnson.
. Drinking Saloons Closed Up The increased
efficiency of the military here is beginning to manifest
itself in some respects. Yestarday two drinking saloons
on Hargctt between Wilmington and Fayetteville streets,
were closed throagb the faithful performance of duty by
the provost guard. We understand that the haul of li
quor was large, andthe itock in tradeofboth ettablish
ments will fall by the rnle of confiscation to the govern
ment. Keep the ball in motion.
On DIt. It has been currently reported in the city
that an accident occurred to one of the steamers which
left Newbern a few days eince, with troops aboard, by
which many lives were lost. We have made inquiry at
army headquarters with respect to its truth -and nothing
is known of it there. Fancy often wrecks soldiers.
Out of Order. A lady sends us word that the pab
lic pump near or at the head of Fayetteville street, is not
in runniag order. We trust that the proper officer will
see that the evil complained of is remedied in the repair
of that important instrument of supply.
Arrival of Troops. The 6th Connecticutt and 7th
New Hamephire regiments arrived in the city last even
ing and prooeeded to the depot of the Raleigh and Gas ten
Railroad. Whether thede commands are going home or
are for distribution in other portions of the State, we did
not learn.
Quiet Sabbath. "resterday was the most quiet
Sabbath we have known since tbe army occupied Ral
eigh. We saw no drunkenness, nor did we hear of any
distiai banoes.
Homeward Bound. We learn that the 3rd and
Cth Mew Hampshire Infantry reached here last Saturday
from Wilmington on their way home.
New Advertisements. We invite attention to the

DIED,
Friday morning, after a lingering illness, at the resi
dence of the parents in this city, Gborqh Pbttiskew, in
fant son of John H. Bryan, jr., Aged 13 months.
The funeral occurred Saturday, and it is only to be ad
ded that there ought to be no repining that another
jewel has been added to the coronet of Loosen.
OBITUARY.
Died, in Go'dsboro', on the 17th insL, in the 36th year
of her age, Mas. Jeanik Run Whitfoed, wife of Mr.
John D. Whitford, President of the Atlantic and North
Carolina Railroad Oompany.
This teeble tribute to the memory of this most estimable
lady is from the heart of one who-fcnew her intimately in
youth and in womanhood. Ehdewed with rare intellec
tual powers, ardent affections, and the most tender rle
votedaess, Mis. W. was in deed and in truth, the light
and joy of the family circle the best of wives,- and the
most provident of mothers.
Amiabje in hei disposition, gentle in demeanor, benev
olent in intention, and benificent in all her acts, how nu
merous are the relatives and friends who share the grief
of the bereaved hufband and children, and deeply lament
this sad visitation of the Great Destroyer, yet, " The
Lord gave, and the Lord hath takea away, biassed be the
name of the Lord."
And right here, with what fond eagerness does the
heart, in its pangs and its achings, greet the memory of
her being early imbued with the blessed teachings of
Christianity, and the keenness of her sensibility to re
ligious truths and impressions 1 Hope springs-up and
speaks, that what to the living is irreparable Toss, to her
is eternal gain. T-houeh dead, she still live.
May the Father of all mercieiheal the weunded spirit,
and bind up the broken beart ! May he so sanotify this
great affliction, that the living and the dead the hus
band and his eight dear children, who are now" but the
more closely entwined aboat his heart may be again
united with the wife and mether around His throne in
Heaven, never, never to parted.
