WASHINGTON, May 9.-The arrest of
JEFF. Davis is now looked upon by the
military authorities as certain. In addi-
ton to the particulars of his wherea-
bouts, telegraphed last night, it is now
known that Davis and the two brigades of
cavalry with him, are so completely en-
veloped by Stoneman, Wilson and Grier-
son, that escape is impossible, except as
a disguised and solitary fugitive. The
latest intelligence renders it probable
that Grierson, who commanded the cav
airy under Gen. Candy, will succeed in
capturing Davis in his flight across Ala
bama.
The march of homeward bound armies
continues with undated vigor. Meade's
veteran columns had hardly made their
grand march through the conquered cap
ital of rebellion, before the camp fires Of
Sherman's legions lighted up the banks
Of the James. The advance of Meade's
troops was to-day in the vicinity of Louisa
Court House, and is expected to encamp
near Alexandria by Saturday night
Sherman's four corps are expected to
pass through Richmond tomorrow, and
they will press the army of the Potomac
hard in the homeward march.
Sheridan's cavalry left Petersburg yes
terday, to move overland to Alexandria.
The main part of the force will come to
this city, and probably undergo ~reorgani-
cation at once. One brigade of cavalry
will be left at Lynchburg another at
Danville, and another at Petersburg,
which will patrol the country, preserve
order, and punish guerrillas and outlaws.

Previous to the final collapse of the
rebellion our forces had taken and oceu-
pied every important town within the
bounds of the Confederacy, except Angus
ia, Ga, and it escaped the same fate sim
ply from the fact that no effort to take il
was made. Every rebel State Capital ex-
eept those Of Texas and Florida have
seen Union troops marching through
their streets, and the Governor of every
rebel State except Texas and Florida has
been driven from his capital and become
a wanderer and fugitive from justice. A
terrible penalty are these men paying fol-
the crime of treason, and they will be
fortunate if no worse fate awaits them.

The President, by proclamation, has
recognized Gov. Pierpoint, as Governor
of Virginia. The latter will establish
himself at Richmond, and proceed to ex-
terminate se~cessionism, and re-establish
loyalty. The President has also issued a
proclamation notifying foreign Govern
ments that allowing pirates the privileges
of their ports will be followed by the ex-
%clusion of the vessels of such powers
from our ports, and the adoption of such
other measures as may be deemed neces-
sary by the Government of the United

There are intimations that large num-
bers of officers and men connected with
both the Union and rebel armies, now
that the war is about closed, contemplate
aemigrating' to Mexico, the Jaurez Gov
eminent holding out strong inducements
to those who wish to become citizens OF
that country. Should any considerable
number of the veterans lately engaged
in the conflict in this country go to Mex
leo, they will doubtless exert an impor-
tant influence in the affairs Of that coun-
try, and it is not likely that the tenure by
which Macmillan occupies his throne
would be greatly strengthened by such
accession to the population of his do
minions. Should a large emigration from
this country set in toward Mexico he
would act wisely to make haste and "em-
igrate' to Austria.
