The argument was persuasive, even to the chivalry. Tho disguise was ree moved and Jeff. Davis appeared in tull view. Davis said he should have defended himself if he had been armeo—even if he bad had a ré- volver he would have fought with itas longas he could. The Colonel replied te him that be didn't appearto hein a very good fighting con= Gition jnet at thattime. After a burried breakfast the party was 4 in marching order.
