NAr. Davis In AkichHnOm.
RIcHMoED, May 1.-THE teamer
John Sylvester with Mr.. Dais on
board arrived this evening at $50
Long before her arrival the Military
arrangements had been made b Gen.
Schofeld l y
A detachment of infantry firm the
goth regiment was present, ani senti-
nels were posted at intervals, inclos-
ing about one hundred yards sdlare Of
the wharf. Outside of .thisline a
large crowd of negroes and a few
whites were gathered, and tie brows
of the surrounding hills were pretty
thickly covered with spectators. -
Major Vance, of Gen. Schofield's
staff, who was in command, had de-
tachment of cannoniers of the 9Th
artillery, numbering about fifty, mount
ed as guard for the carriages. i M
As the steamer hove in sight, with
the national flag flying, the mostin.
tense anxiety was exhibited by the
crowd to get close, but there was no
demonstration NO cheering or hiss
ing. g
When the steamer was made fast,
Hon. James Lyons went on board,
and, after a feeling meeting with Mr..
Davis, brought Mrs. Davis ashore and
conducted her to carriage, followed
by the two servants who attended her.
In q few minutes Mr. Davis came
over the gang plank, accompanied by
General Burton and d.. Cooper, he
looked very much changed from what
the citizens of Richmond remember
him, looking much older and rather
haggard and feeble. A full gray
beard contributed much 10 the change,
He wore heavy black overcoat and
came ashore with a finn step. The
party Immediately got il carriages and
surrounded by a mounted guard,
drove rapidly, by a sids street to the
Spottswood Hotel, thus disappointing
a large crowd which hsd gathered on
Main street, near the wharf to see
MIR. Davis.oD "a Ins
On the trip up Mr.. Davis was quite
cheerful, and, as he had no guard
walked freely about the boat convers-
ing with the passengers, who were all
anxious to speak to him.
He said little about his imprison-
nent, but spoke in terms of the warm
EST affection of President Pierce,
who visited him on Thursday last
He said there was no man living for
whom he entertained a higher regard.
At Brandon, on the way up, num-
Der of ladies had gathered to speak to
lin, who shed tears on seeing him.
They nearly all had been acquaintanf
,es of his family during the war.
A lady named Mrs. Davis, who got
IN the boat at Norfolk, died in the
adies' cabin shortly before reaching
Richmond, Two bridal parties came
Up on the same boat. i rrgrf ~ ID
There is a large and curious but or
lerly crowd around the Spottswood
Iotel, waiting to get a-glirnpse of the
risoner. He will remain in Gen.
'urton's charge until produced in
curt, Monday.
The citizens generally. in deferencdl
0 the wishes of the authorities, stayed
way from the dock, though many of
hem were stationed in doors and
,indows along Main street, to see Mr..
)avis as be passed up, after the pro
ession entered that street. He occu-
les the same suite of rooms at the
pottswood Hotel that he did in 1861.
1t is the opinion expressed by one
Mr.. Davis counsel, that ifYbail is
Fused him, the executive will inter
enc and prevent his further confne-
ent until the trial comes off.
Many of Mr., Davis friends will Wis
him tonight and Tomorrow ~ ~
The crowd aroundrthe Spottswood
otel dispersed after vainly waiting to
e Mr., Davis. He has private par
r and takes his meals in his own
'om. This evening he received de-
,sits of nearly $1,000 from our most
ointment citizens, among them the
Istor of St. Paul's church, from 4
Iom he first received the news ofthe
eaking of Lees lines. There is no
striction on bis movements, and he
IS the liberty of the house,.

nited States infantry is about to en- !
mp at the City Spring Park, within
