On Monday morning General Burton produced Mr. Davis at the Circuit Court before Judge Underwood.

Counsel then, on behalf of Mr. Davis, asked that, in view of the long imprisonment and delicate health of the prisoner, he be admitted to bail. The counsel for the Government not opposing, Judge Underwood fixed the bail at 100,000 dols., half of which to be furnished by residents in Virginia. The bail bond, which requires Mr. Davis to appear before the court on the 25th,of November next, was signed by Mr. Horace Greely, Mr. Augustus Schell, General Jackman, and 10 others.

General Schofield has disbanded a company of tiegro cavalry, and prohibited their fatt4re drill. Mr. Kelley, a member of Congress, while addressing a meeting at Mobile last evening, was mobbed, and nor ':374 escaped death from pistol-shots. The meeting was broken up. Several persons were shot, and three are reported to have been killed. The police quelled the riot, and a force of national troops subsequently guarded the streets. The accounts of the origin of the riot are conflicting, some of them asserting that it was preconcerted by rebels. Another account states that Mr. Kelley used incendiary language, and defied the crowd, and that the majority of the shots were tired by negroes, most of whom present were armed. The report of the murder of two Union soldiers at Edgfield, South Carolina, proves to have been false. A Radical meeting held at Brownsville, Tennessee, on Monday last, was dispersed by the mob. Five persons were shot.  The negroes at New Orleans, after attending an ovation to Congressman Kelley, took possession of a street car, driving out the white occupants.
