At all stopping places between this city aud Mobile, great crowds gathered, local military con- panies tired salutes, children waved handkerchiefs and shouted and all pressed to the car to shake the hand of the man who led the cause of the south during the war time. Many one-legged and oue-armed soldiers were waiting 10 see him and all had shouts of vel come. Mir. Davis stood at the rear car

The local military companies Gov. O'Neal andi staff were at the depot to receive Mir. Davis. It was difficult for the carriage in which he sat, which was drawn by four whlte horses, Co make its way through the surRing mass of hu- manity that blocked the street, and all this despite the raIn from above and the mud beneath.

 on the house was very elaborate and flags floated from every window. Davis special car was handsomly decorated and national ensigns were conspicuous. Gen. II. B. Gordon. f.om Atlanta, arrived shortly

 was hearty and heartfelt. Mir. DavIs re-
 tired at sn early hour. Ills health is l good. but be IS not strong. The feeling
 shown him to-day greatly touched him,
 as II IS the first expression of any coD~e Quence since the clcse of the war. HIs

 ument to be erected here to the soldiers

 and secluded all day, receiving only old scquaintsDces and special friends, He
 has DO setspeech and his address to the multitude will be short.

 Ousiy since Monday and about dawn
 this morning the down pour was a tor rent. So great was the rain and conse-
 quent mud that the plan of having the addresses of Jefferson Davis and Gen. Gordon delivered at the fair grounds near the city at II o'clock had to be abandoned.
