JEFFEKSON DAVIS.
 Incidents Connected With His Re- lease.
 Many stories and incidents are related concerning the release and bailing of Davis A. well informed correspon7 dent says:
 HIS BoNDsMEN.
 There was decided sensation when Mir. Greeley's name was called, and he stepped forward as first bondsman.- The paper on which the names of Jeff. Davis, Horace Greeley, John Minor Bolts, Augustus Schcll, and a dozen leading Richmond Confederates, ap- peared together, is certainly curious and suggestive document. It is under stood that the two blanks on the bond are to be filled with the signatures of Gcrritt Smith and Cornelius Wander bilt.
 The attendance in the Court room was mainly that of the army friends oi ltbe prisoner. Besides those and their attorneys and correspondents, there were thirty or forty coiored men. Ev- cry inch of space was occupied, and many persons clambered upon chairs, benches, tables, window sills, etc, that they might sec and hear to q better ad- vantage.
 1 Mir. Davis sat very quiet and erect during the proceedings, smiling from 1 time to time, as fricntfseame forward to shake his. hands and congratulate him upon his release. Mir. Greeley ap- peared quite as happy as any of the late Confederates when the. Court said it would accept bail, and the greeting he gave Mir. Davis was very cordial There was most hearty and forcible cheer when the Judge directed the Mar shall to release the prisoner, and for. a moment there was great struggle on the part of those anxious to extend con- gratulations. 6 The passage of Davis back to the ho- tel was great ovation. The street was soon filled with people, and the win dows on both sides were crowded. mostly with ladies. His whole pro- gross was greeted with cheers and waving of handkerchiefs.
 THE INTERVIEW
 between MT. Davis and wife, and coun- sel and their friends, who were first admitted to their rooms, is spoken of as very touching. The company join ed in prayer, which was offered by the Episcopal clergyman under whose ad- ministrations the Davis family sat du- ring the Confederate Presidency. In the afternoon, Davis held an informal levee, and for two hours or more his parlor was crowded by the people of Richmond, all Confederates of any note being present. His friends announce that he will live as quiet and secluded as possible during the summer and fall. -it ! HE STEAKS ENCoURA0INGLY OF HIS
 HEALTH.
 At Fort Harrison, Judge Ould called him out, and he gazed- silently upon the drowning memorial of the days I when he wielded the power of dc facto nation. To those days he made no reference at any time, and only once did he make any allusion to his present position, which he. didwhen he said, ir reference to his health, that he had : plenty of vitality left, and would be a' strong as he ever was when he should get out of his troubles. r
 HOW THE LADIES RECEIVED HIM.
 The ladies of-the Hollywood Memo rial Bazaar throngcd the windows O the building where the bazaar has beel held, and many faces suffused witt tears were clearly disccrnible among the fair spectators. The Rev. Dr. Min nigerode called upon him and had most interesting interview of abou half an hour The doctor was aston ished at the change which had takeI place in the appearance of Mir. Davis He could hardly believe thattwo year of imprisonment could bleach the cap tive's hair so white or produce that pal Tor and cancellation which Mir. Davis s' visibly exhibited. W
 MIR. DAVIS DEEPLY MOVED. He showed an entire willingness t converse, especially with those friend he met upon the boat, and with one these, who had served with him durinI the Mexican war, reviewed their com mon history of those days, talkin chccrfu.B and betraying no uneasines' mo consciousness of any unpleasant N ness of his surroundings. Once, onl once, during the day, did he scene 'moved. At Brandon Landing, thre Misses Harrison, old and intimat friends of tho Davis family, came Q board, and Davis stepping eagerly fol V ward to greet them, itwas noticed ths , his voice was husky and the tears fal e ing as he did so. The most of the da, !. however, the fallen chief spent in y state-room with Judge Ould. d
