'-- Beyond the ditch, on the glacis was a double chain of seatioels and in the case mate rooms, on each aide of his prison, were quartered that part of the guard which was not on post. . . ' : .::-"'ri Borne down by "privation, over exertion and exposure, he was in " no condition when thrown into prison to resist exciting causes of disease. The damp walls, the food too coarse and bad to be eaten, the deprivation of sleep caused by the tramping of sentries around the iron eot, the light of the lamp whieh sbone full upon it, the loud calling of . tbe roll when another relief was turned out, the noise of unlocking the doors, the tramp of she sentinels who came; to relieve t hose on post, . prod uced I feVer, and , rapidly wasted his strength. Without mechanical aid, though his efforts were. not interrupted, no one could have, removed tbe grating from the em brasure. If that Lad been done, and any. one could have swam across the ditch, and climbed up the revetment on the opposite 6ide,, which was doubtful, he then would hive encountered the sentinels on the glacis. The circumstances, together with many manifestations' indicating feeling toward him, led him to tbe conclusion that it was not tbe belief that, these things was necessary to prevent bis escape, , but a purpose td'offer an indignity, to inflict physical pain, and perhaps to deprive bim of life. . , ' On the 23d of May, 18G5, the officer of the day, Captain J. Thlow, of the third Pennsylva nia Artillery, came' into his prison with. two blacksmiths, bearing a pair of heavy leg irons,' coupled together by a pondrous ebain. Cap tain Titlow, in a manner fully sustaining words. iniormeu nrm mat, witn great personal reluc- tancc, ho came to execute an order to put irons upon him. Mr Davis asked whether General Miles had given that order, and on' being an swered iu the affirmative, said he wished to see Geo. Miles. Captain Titlow replied that he had just left Gen. Miles, who was leaving the fort. Mr Davis then asked that tbe execution of the order, should be postponed; until Geo: Miles returned. Captain Titlow said his orders would not permit that, and that to an old sol dicr it was needless to say . that an officer was bound to execute . an order as it was given to him. , : Mr Davis told him; that it was too ob vious that there could be no necessity for the use of such means to render his v itBpriouieDt secure;' and, on Captain Titlow's repeating jthat his duty was to execute his orders, Mr Davis said it Was not such an older as a soldier could give, or should receive, and he would not sub mit to it; that it was evidently , the intention to tortute lum to death;, t hut he would ueyer tame ly be subjected to indignities by i whieb it was sought in bis person' to degrade tbe causeof whiob he was tho 'represedtalive 'The officer ox tue aayj wnu cyiaent Kinu reeling enueavoreu to dissuade bici from resistance.

Captain Titlow. saw ;t ie new.danger, and promptly inter posed, telling the sentinels that they were not to fire.
