proceeded Immediately to the steamer Clyde,
at anchor in the stream, with JEFF. Davis aud
the remainder of the rebel party on board
An hour was allowed to the departing rebels
to take q long farewell OF their friends and

The harbor which is unusually crowded
with all kinds and classes of vessels, to day
hooked almost deserted scarcely dozen sail
could be counted. and they seemed listless.
Col. Roberts, the commandant at Fortress
Monroe, perceiving the absolute necessity of
maintaining strict discipline in conformity
with the wishes OF the Government, that the
transferment of the rebel party to the Fortress
should be conducted as quietly as possible,
very early in the morning, stationed guards in
the vicinity OF the classmates, wherein are the
cells Intended for the incarceration Of the
prisoners, and also along the various paths
and routes they would be obliged to traverse
while en- route to the Fortress. aa
In short time after the steamer reached
the wharf the prisoners began To land. No
person was allowed to approach the wharf
where the prisoners landed except at dis
lance of 500 yards. As theyprisoners marched
up the wharf, preceded by "a guard OF their
captors, the tall, spare frame of JEFF Davis,
dressed in grey clothes and wearing a light
felt hat, could be easily discerned As soon
as the prisoners were all on shore they were
marched up along the beach to the sally port
OF the water battery in the rear of the fortress,

WASHINGTON, May ~.
Inc Court met at half past ten O'Clock.
NAT. Aiken said that as the government
found It inconvenient to close its testimony at
this time to show that the conspiracy did
exist, but not with special reference to the
prisoners at the bar, he would TO morrow be
ready to 90 on with the defence, as he was not
disposed 20 waste the valuable time Of the
Court.
Col. Burnettythe Judge Advocate, remark
ed that four or Ave witnesses were yet to be
examined with reference to the accused. Some
of them were in Baltimore and some in this
city. but the latter had not been able to cross
the line of military review to reach this place.
The testimony taken yesterday was read.
Mr.. Ewing made the request, which was
granted, to have his former staten ant amend
ed 80 IL might appear that he asked that all
the testimony against the accused be intro
duced before the commencement of the ex-
animation OF the witnesses OF the defence,
the council for the defence however, hay-.
ing no objections that testimony as to the
general conspiracy might be hereafter intro
duced by the Government. fss.e IsI.

that there was difficulty Of pr pouring atten-

consultation the Court adjourned till Thurs
