H; Clark, of Clarksville, Term., who Was acting treasurer of the so-called Confederate States of America, when the collapse came, has written letter, under date or January oui,wepre( sentative House, of Tennessee, in which he sets forth the facts about the treas ure lost when Jeff Davis was captured. Mr. Clark says: "As I am in a position to know all the facts, I think it not improper to state them as briefly as lean. I left Bichmond, Va ,the night of the evacu ation on the special train containing the president, his staff, his caDinec ana many other government officials, being at the time chief and confidential clerk of the executive office. The party reached Danville the next day, where the government offices were partially organized, remaining there until the 10th of April, when news of General Lee's surrender was received. The next move was to Greensboro, the headquarters of Beauregard's little army; : "A stay of some days was made there, and as the railroads had been cut In many places south of us by the Fede ral eavalry, who were still raiding to the southwest of our line of travel, I made up a train of wagons and ambu lances for the use of the party, for which General Beauregard gave a carte blanche order on his quartermaster and commissary aepartmems, wim wmcn train the party proceeded to Charlotte, N. C. General Beauregard also ordered up the small cavalry division under Oaneral W. C. P. Breckehridge. as an escort, to which President Davis de murred possibly for the reason that he did not want the small force in front of General Sherman weakened to give him personal protection but finally consented, as it gave protection to his following, which was composed partly of helpless civilians, but even then avoided the road taken by his escort. "After a stay of about a week at Charlotte, where we heard of the as sassination of President Lincoln, the route was to Abbeville, South Carolina, reaching there the 3rd of May. At Ab beville the train of the treasury de partment reported, it having followed a HiflWPTir. Una of travp 1 under the pro tection of the small force under Admi ral Semmes, who had guarded it faith fully, keeping all its valuables intact This was the first time we bad met, and at Abbeville the trains, escort and all, came together. Admiral Semmes asked to be relieved of his voluntarily assumed duty (which had been neces sary, as General Stoneman's cavalry had several times struck points within ten or fifteen miles of these different trains, moving in the main on parallel lines), and the train was placed in charge of the cavalry General Basil Duke's command and ordered fa Washington, Ga. V "General Trenholm, secretary of tha treasurv. had been left some distanc back, auite ill. and at Abbeville, t President appointed Postmaster-Gen1 ral John H. Reagan acting secretary the treasury. The treasurer, Mr. J. Herndon, had been lett at Greensboro, N. C with a moderate military chest for the use of the army there, the spe cie, mainly Mexican dollars, and amounting to $40,000, according to my recollection. That night, the weather being hot for day traveling, the presi dential party also left for Washington, Ga, arriving about sunset on the 4th of Mav. As soon as we arrived Mr. xtea- gan, acting secretary of the treasury, asked the president to appoint me act ing treasurer in place of Mr. Herndon, who had been left At Greensboro, N. C, the treasury since that time having been in charge of the bureau offcers. I had some time before received a staff appointment, with the rank of captain. "The president made the appoint ment, Mr. Reagan drew up my com mission, and President Davis affixed to it the last official signature he ever made. I, of coarse, preserve it as a nrecious relic. The entire treasury was turned over to me-, and 1 spent a day in filliBg the requisitions of the actintr secretary. I settled with the depositors, who had followed with the train some all the way from Virginia; I paid off the naval brigade, through Postmaster Wheeless, of Nashville; paid off the troops who were near us, through the proper accredited officers ; burnt millions" of bonds and currency in the presence of Secretary Reagan and General J. C. Breckenridge, secre tary of war; turned over to the Vir ginia bank officers the specie which be longed to the Virginia banks, which they had never been able to obtain from the treasury for want of proper officers to deliver it. One of my last acts was to turn over to Major Moses, a Confederate States agent, 840,000 in silver, mainly bullion, which the presi dent had ordered to be used in furnish ing subsistence to the paroled soldiers who were passing through to their homes, thus relieving them and the dis tressed country through which they were passing. MI took proper receipts for all my payments, and with the whole treasury disbursed, except an insignificant sum, in company with the acting secretary, I left Washington about eleven 'clock at night, with a small escort given us by General Duke, which we shortly dismissed, and joined the president's partynext morning about day-break. There I again took charge of my tfain, and on the morning of the 6th Presi dent Davis heard of the danger to his familv. who were traveling some dis tance ahead, from marauders in search of horses. He decided to take his staff and a few attendants and join them, the train to proceed to Florida the in tention, as understood, being there to take boats to Cuba, and from there to thetrans-Mississippi department. As I was more likely to be captured with the train than, with the mounted party, in order to provide means iorxne trans portation: fo Cuba, I called the staff to gether and paid Colonel F. R. Lobbuck, A; D. Cyformer governor of .Cexas); Colonel William Preston Johnston, A, D. C.; Colonel John Taylor Wood. A. D.

Miller buried a babe in the Washington Congress ional Cemetery a few days ago, and be fore the little white coffin was lowered to the grave, Robert G. Ingersell deliv ered the following address : My Friends: I know how vain it is to gild a grief with words, and yet I wish to take from every grave its fear. Here in this world, where life and death are equal kings, all should be brave enough to meet what all the dead have met The future has been filled with fear, stained and polluted by the heartless past. From the wondrous tree of life the buds and blossoms fall with linen ed fruit, and in the common bed of earth the patriarchs and babes Bleep side try side. Why should we fear that which will come to all that is ? We cannot tell, we do not know which is the greater bless ing life or death. We cannot say that death is not a good. We do not Iknow whether the grave is the end of this life or the door of another, or whether the night here is not somewhere else a dawn. Neither can we tell which, ; is the more fortunate the child dying in its mother's arms before its lips have learned to form a word, or he who journeys- all the length of life's uneven road, painfully, taking the last slow steps with staff and crutch. " VwMt amwIa Antra na MT K o,n imtx V OtotT every coffin "Whither ?" The poor bar barian, weeping above bis dead, can answer these questions as intelligently and satisfactorily as the robed priest of the most authentic creed. The tearful ignorance of the one is just as consoling as the learned and unmeaning words of the other. No man, standing where the horizon of a life has touched a grave, has tiny right to prophesy a future filled with pain and tears. It may be that death gives all there is of worth to life. If those we press and strain against our hearts could never die perhaps that love would wither from the earth. May be f.hia rmmnn fata tread from out the paths between our hearts the weeds of selfishness and bate, and I had rather live and love where death.Is king than have eternal life where love is not An other life is naught unless we know and love again the ones who love us They who stand with breaking hearts around this little grave need have no fear. The larger and the nobler faith in all that is and is to be tells us that death, even at its worst is only perfect rest. We know that through the com mon wants of life tbe needs and du ties of each hour their grief will lessen day by day until at last this grave will be to them a place of rest and peace almost of joy. There is for them this consolation : The dead do not suffer. If they live again their lives will surely hn a pood ail mw We have no fear. We are all children 4f the same mother and the same fata awaits us alL; We, too. have onr reliflfiom and it is this: Help for the living, hope for the dead.
