Shortly after two o'clock on the afternoon . of the 2:h,l it was announced to Davis that lie must prepare to take IcaVe of the Clyde and be transferred pn board the steamer S. 0. Pierce, *or ,the^'?urpose of being roiiver<*d to . his dungeon in the fortress. At the moment of this announcement the scone was solemn beyond description; it was the moment" iu which iho unhappy and miserable captive was to fake leave oT his wife and children, to see th m perhaps on earth no more forever ; to pronounce in their lio-nnir the parting woids, piteous under the melancholy hut just, circumstances that controlled the hour. us hoard tiik I'ikKck.

Davis said to have looked uncommonly well He was dressed in a suit of rebel gray, and;| walked with a firm and elastic step, and lips" somewhat compressed. His whole demeanor was confident and apparently open. His position and ifie workiugs of his heart must, indeed, haVe made him fee! otherwise. m ' AT NIGHT.

The consternation in Hichmoud when it came to be known that tho old traitor Jiad been finally placed in the severest duress was indued great?greater l>y far then on the remsioti of the announcement of his capture. Some affected to believe that" Davis had been porsoilutcd Jiy a man named Northrop, of Richmond, who is said to resemble him very much, and that by this false personation Davis had been enabled to escape. The majority, however, accept the conclusion that "the President of the Confederate States" is a prisoner of the L'uitcd States in fortress Monroe. jkks davis' disgcise?the kkwaicd of his i It All So KS. * .

There haw , l>? eii i many grand military,displays in the past.; but I never before has there beeu one so grand as this. The number of soldiers iu lino is i*nmetise. Neither Napoleo.n nor Wellington ewr saw so * any veterans* in one army at one time. When Napoleon reviewed his army of two hundred thousand men, at the opening of the Russian campaign, many of his soldiers were yot.ng conscripts, fresh from the farm and counter. But our army?which v is, jn fact, hut a part of our force, since the.commands of Thomas, ScJjoficld, Curtis, <Jrci, Canity, Foster amJ others arc not represented?is composed entirely of veterans, and is quite two thousand strong. * . "It is not mere numbers, however, which make tin; display at Washington so grand.? The immensity of the numbers lias its effect, because we have never seen anything like it in this country before. (Jen Grant gives us a faint idea of this immensity when he says that it will take the army two days to cross the Long Bridge."
