\ JIOW DAVIS TOOK LEAVE OF HIS FAMILY.
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.

THE APARTMENT OF DAVIS.
Davis occupies the rear rocm of a casemate
in which there are two apartments. The windows
are heavily barred, and the doors are se- 1
curciv bolted "and ironed. Two guards constantly
oecapy'the room with hitn, while in
the outer room are constantly stationed a com- 1

the duty of seeing that the accused does not
escape. Itavis is not permitted to speak a
word to any one, neither is any one permitted
to speak a word to him. Be is literally in a
living tomb.
THE APPEARANCE OF DAVI? UPON ENTERING '
TlIE FOKTKESS.
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.

' AT NIGHT.
Davis sits alone in his cell', save the two
guards, who are not permitted to address.him
ou any subject whatever, ai|d it is understood
lie will be given%o lights.

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.

as possible, Airs. Clay, the Colonel stated, was l
squally defiant, and counselled that blood he. ;
shed before flic nrticl?s>of which he wag the t
hearer should be delivered up. j
The Secretary <?f War, in the. name of the j

The Grandest Military Dis- !

The Now Yoik Herald, of 2-stth ult., Alius
speaks of/the great review of the Federal '
troops: arc j,/ 1
."Yestcrdajs^he magnificent review at Wash- 1

their cheers expressed to the brave vetejjljb.s
the gratitude which the country feel* towflWs j
them lor its preservation. 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."
An Irishman who had boeu confined several
w*cks in succession for getting drunk, cobfly
proposed to the judge that lie should take biiu
by the year. * .
"Good-morning, Mr. Jenkins; where have
you'kept yomself this lung time?" "Kept
myself," said Jeukins? ''I don't keep myselfj 1
live &ti credit."
