While the signing was in progress there
was a general movement of bystanders
into the bar, and many o. Mr. Davis old
friends came up and congratulated him
on the improved aspect Of his condition.
Mr.. Greeley also advanced and shook
hands cordially with Mr.. Davis. The
excitement among the great crowd pres
ent was manifestly great, but it was hila-
rious and found vent in laughter and joe
uIarity. When Mr.. Greeley put his fist
to the bond Mr. Bolts suggested to the
Judge that he had better have a witness
to Mr.. G.'s signature, as no one would
ever be able to read it.
"HURRAH FOR JEFF DAvIS!"
The signing of the bord having been
completed and silence obtained, the Judge
announced the prisoner st liberty. MIR.
Davis, who had resumed his seat after
signing the bond, rose To his teet-Iree
for the first time in two years. The ex-
element OF the crowd OF citizens was in-
tense. At this instant some good old
Rebel sung out in stenLorian voice,
"Hurrah for jeff Davis p Immediately
deatening cheer upon cheer arose, until 1t
seemed that the solid building shook TO
its foundations +; men clapped their hands
and stamped wildly in their enthusiasm.
The tumuIt was only quelled by the voice
OF the Marshal insisting upon order.
The Judge ordered the court TO be ad-
journcd till IL o'clock to-day.
The cheering was renewed, and Mr..
Davis, accompanied by his friends, Lurrled
quickly out. AS he reached the pave
ment, on Bank street, the cheering was
caught up by the crowd outside who an
swered with Il will. Amid the cheers and
waving OF hats Mr.. Davis, Col. HARRISON,
and two other gentlemen stepped into
carriage in waiting. About u hundred
negroes, big and small, prompted by stu
pid and apparently ungovcrnable curlosl-
ty, pressed so closely around the carriage
as almost to raise the wAeels from The

the wondering negro rauble We're LETT be-

which will be held next Drcembcr. Main
street was crowded by citizens, among
whom were hundreds OF ladies, all inter
terested in the fate OF Mr.. Davis, IL, d
anxious to get Il look at him.
MRS. DAVIS INFORMED OF THE PROGRESS OF.
THE CASE.
Previous to the departure of Mr.. Davis
for the court room, number Of ladies,
who were welcome guests at the Presiden-
tial mansion in the days of the Confedera-
cy, called upon Mrs. Davis, who, so soon
as her husband left, invited them into her
chamber. Mrs. Davis endeavored to ap
pear composed and spoke cheerfnlly. She
stated that she hoped the trial of Mr.. Da-
Wis would not be proceeded with at pre-
sent, as she did not think he would be
able to bear the mental and physical IA
tigue which would necessarily result from
a trial. In conversation the time passed
until nearly 10 o'clock, when note was
handed to Mrs Davis from llr. Joseph Da-
Wis, stating that Mr.. Jefferson Davis was
we'll and had been released on bail.
This was joyful news ane was apprecia-
ted; but it is not our purpose to intrude
upon the secret privacy of domestic life,
Shortly after Mr.. Davis reached the
Spotswood he was called upon by large
number of citizens, with whom he freely
conversed The affair reminded us very
much of the levees that were held in the
Presidential mansion during the days Of
the Confederacy. About five O'Clock last
evening, Mr. Davis rode out to Hollywood
Cemetery and visited the grave of his lit
tie son, Joseph Davis, who, it will be re-
membered, was killed by falling from a
porch of his fathers residence in this city.
Mr.. and Mrs. Davis go back to Fortress
Monroe, to secure their furniture and lug
gage, after which they will return to this
city and spend some ten days or more.
