The steamer John Sylvester, With Davis
on board, arrived this afternoon. Long
before his arrival military arrangements
bad been made by General Schoield. A
detachment Of the 29th regiment was pres
ent and sentinels were posted at intervals,
enclosing about two hundred yards square
crowd of negroes and few whites were
gathered. The bluffs of the surrounding
country were thickly covered with specta-
| tors.

in command Of detachment of the Sth
artillery, numbering about fifty, mounted
as guard for the carriage. As the steam

ing, the most intense anxiety was exhibited
to get closer, bat there was no demonstra-
ton, no cheering, no Kissing when the
steamer made port.

feeling meeting with Mr.. Davis brought
Mrs. sDsvis ashore and conducted her to
the carriage, followed by her two servants.

and Dr. Cooper. The party immediately
| got into carriages. and, surrounded by the
mounted guard, drove rapidly by side
street to the Spottswood Hotel, thus dis
appointing the large crowds who had gath
cred on Main street near the wharf to see
Davis.
Davis was quite cheerful, and he had no
guard, but walked freely about the boat
conversing with passengers, all anxious to
speak to him. He said little about his i'm
prisonment, but spoke in terms of the
warmest affection of 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,
who shed tears on seeing him. They had
been acquainted with his family during the
war.
A lady named Mrs. Davis, of Richmond
who got on the boat at Norfolk, died in
the ladies' cabin just before reaching here.
| Two bridal parties came up on the same
boat.
