no CONVENTION.

The Columbus, Miss, Inder Of late
date says: Accounts which we have
received from different portions Of the
State assure us that the people generally
will register and that there is ground to
hope that if the question Of holding a
convention is fairly submitted, it will be
voted down. Just now our people are in
doubt as to what course to pursue. They
are beginning, however, to understand
the questions to be decided, and by next
September they will be fully awakened
to the necessity Of making a stand in de.
tense of the principles Of the ConStitu-
ton. The tide seems to be turning in
favor of the Democratic party at the
North, and by September we will be en-
abled to judge with some degree Of accu'
racy whether there is anything to hope
from that quarter.

MR.. DAVIS AT RICHMOND.
An Immense and Orderly Crowd
Interview with Hon. Jas. Ly-
ons-Mr. Davis Opinion of
Ex-President Pierce.

RICHMOND, May 1.-The steamer John
Sylvester, with Davis on board, arrived
this afternoon. Long before his arrival,
military arrangements had been made by
General Schofeld. A detachment of the
10Th regiment was preseat, and sentinels
posted at intervals inclosing about two
hundred yards square of wharf. Outside
of this a large crowd of negroes and a
few whites were gathered. The brows of
the surrounding hills were thickly Gov
cred with spectators. Major Vance, of
Sohofeld's staff, who was in command,
had detachment of the 9Th artillery,
numbering about fifty, mounted, as a
guard for the carriage. As the steamer
hove in sight, with the National flag
flying, the most intense anxiety was ex-
hibited by the crowd to get closer, but no
demonstration, no cheering nor Kisses.
When the steamer was made fast,
Hon. James Lyons went aboard, and
had feeling meeting with Davis He
brought Mrs. Davis ashore and conducted
her to carriage, followed by her two
servants. In few moments Davis came
over the gang plank, accompanied by
General Burton and DR.. Cooper. The
party Immediately got into carriages,
and, surrounded by mounted guard,
drove rapidly by side street up towards
the Spottswood Hotel, thus disappoint-
ing large crowds who had gathered along
Main street near the wharf to see Davis.
Mr.. Davis was quite cheerful and he
had no guard, but walked freely about
the boat, conversing with the passengers,
all of whom were anxious to speak to
him. He said little about his imprison-
ment, but spoke in terms of warmest
affection for ex. President Pierce, who
visited him on Thursday last. He said
there was no man living for whom he
entertained higher regard.
At Brandon, on the way up, a number
of ladies had gathered to speak to him,
and who shed tears on seeing him. They
had been acquainted with his family
during the war.
A lady named Mrs. Davis, of Rich
mond, who got on board at Norfolk, died
in the ladies' cabin just before reaching
here. HIf.E.EE

He occupies the same rooms at the
Spottswood House that be did in 1861.
1t is the opinion expressed by one Of the
counsel, that if bail is refused him, the
Executive will interfere to prevent his
further confinement until his trial comes
of. Many Of Davis friends will visit
him 10 night and to morrow.

DAVIS AT LARGE.

jefferson DAVIS is at large, having
been discharged on bail His imprison-
ment was not designed to secure his
attendance at a trial on the charge of
assassination or treason, but to torture
his body and mind, and, through him, to
torture the South. After two years Of
anguish, he is liberated on a boud
Of ten thousand dollars The very
men who extracted exquisite mu
sic from the groans of his agony,
came forward to bail him. His
journey from his cell at Fortress Monroe
to Richmond was, quiet as it appeared,
an ovation. Time has smoothed the
asperities Of Horace Greeley and others,
but they remain priests Of party that
possesses no spirit Of forgiveness, and
acknowledges no god bat that of poliii.

earths the following. On page $50 o.
VIM. G. Brownlow's book, we find the
following;
Night before last heard a speech from
Etheridge, delivered before an attentive
audience Of twelve or fifteen hundred
persons. He spoke over two hours. 4
never heard him in a regular stump
speech before. | saw at once the secret
OF his great success before the people
He is the people man, and keeps up the
interest ali the time. He was severe on
the leaders of the rebellion, but not more
so than they deserved; and his blows
met with hearty response from the
crowd
On the above, the Nashville Gazette
thus comments: This was written in
March, 1862, but it is no less true at the
present tine. Emerson Etheridge is
pre.eminently the peoples man, and
William G. Brownlow will have an
opportunity during the next three months
of seeing how well he can keep up
the interest all the time. Here
out of the mouth Of Brownlow, himself,
we have testimony as to the Union SEN
tments of Mr.. Etheridge, and Of his
severity upon the leaders of the rebel
lion, and we may form an idea OF the
severity with which he will denounce the
leaders of the present conspiracy against
free government in Tennessee, Of which
William G. Brownlow is at the head.
Mr.. Etheridge, unlike the great apostate
of slavery, has not a lifetime of devotion
to the very ideas which helped bring on
the rebellion, to atone for, and after war
was over, did not feel compelled to be-
come prosecutor of rebels in order to
prove his devotion to the Union. he
will convince Mr.. Brownlow of the truth
of his own statement, that he is decidedly
the peoples man"
