The shouts that went I up from the rebels when Judge Un ler- j ordered the United States marshal I . I discharge till prisoner was rtauily rcc- onized by the '-JJuys iu Dluo" as the old rebel yell, heard on a hundred battle-1 fields of the rtbtlliou. The scene on the streets, from the court-room to the Spoils wod Hotel, after the release of Davis, was certainly no less cuthusiastic than the scene in Palis when Napoleon Dune-part returned flora Elba. 'J he smouldering fires of the rebellion seemed to be rekiu dled, and "the Lost Cause" jratbercd new hopes and fresh courage. I have already telegraphed you the whole proceedinj: in briiiripj; Daws here, and in his trial, which has been of the nu'ii 'Jraniatic oi dtr. i he last act ol re- L'jlilou was played in the C'urt-room to day, with all the scenic aud stage effects of the theatre. I need not pay that Da vis was the star, and that he played his part perfectly. The court-room was open ed about nine o'elock. The newspaper men were admitted first, then the mem bers of the bar, aud finally tho ' Great Unwashed." The audience sat for about half an hour waiting for tho play to be gin. Horace Greeley, Augustus Sehell, Will- mm M Kr.irl9 U llliam H. lleed. (.has. I , I O'Couor, rebe General Imhodcn, l itz Hugh Lee, with John Mitchcl, Patrick Ilcury Aylctt, Judge Lyons, Dr. Maddox, who shot a Union soldier in Alexandria last year; Ecv. Dr. Minuegeiode, Jefi Davii' spiritual adviser, and other promi uent rebels, entered with due form aud ceremony, aud occupied what might be termed the orchestra chairs. Then came General Schofield aud some members of his staff. Finally, the great star actor, accompanied by General JJurton and Sur TeTju Cooper, appeared. Here there was a marked sensation. A feeling of abso lute reverence seized the rebels, and cu riosity the Unionists, so that everything for a second was as still as death. Davis looked well, though troubled with a slight cough. After the play had coumeuced, Davis was escorted froui the Priscacrs' dock to a seat between Charles O Conor apd Wjliiiini 1J. lleed, which he "pied during the perlormance. .... Ihe return to the writ of habeas cor jus occasioned some little parley between the counsel. After a sort of a prologuo from William M. Erarts and District At torney Chandler the trial of the distin guished prisoner was in order. iBterrecinr sjcscs, L;Tcver, wcre not without their due effect aud impor tance. When Judge Underwood agreed to admit Davis to bail, Charles O'Conorcom- menced to call the names of bailsmen. jjear Jefferson Davis, the acknowleed The first was Horace Grcslej, who stepp. ; hcad anJ front of ,he great rebcIHo3 cd up to the clerk's desk with a nailing been he! d in prison solely by ' Andrew facc.aai'd the silent admiration of tLe ' JuhUSOo, ia virtue of his military author relcls present. Th-n followed the names . i,y a3 commander in-clicf of tha armies of John Minor Uotts ruJ oihets. -After Lf the T'nitP,! tr.. v;.. t,.: the bail bond was signed, David coic uieuced to hold a levee in open court. tlrteley, Butts and other fiieuds stepped up and congratulated him, and engaged in what was evidently an agreeable con versa'.: u Davis smiled all over; a grim ijh.utljr smile, which seemed to wy, '1 liuve cjittjucrcd at lust." As soon as Judge Underwood announc ed that the prisoner was discharged, Da vis left the court room and proceeded to his carriage. As he emerged from the builJiug the air was rent with cheers up on eheeis, aud the rebels stood with un covered heads. Xbe Uuited States troops who were on guard alon the square look ed ineffably mean. 1 am sure they felt ashamed of themselves, or oi the Gov ernment they represented. Davis was driven rapidly to his hotel, the crowd fal lowing Lis carriage aud cheering wildly all the time. As he niaied the potts iroi'd Hotel Mrs. Davis and other ladies in her rooms waved their handkerchiefs from the windows. Kverything was iu a stato of excitement, and it seemed as if the returu from Montgomery iu ISO"! was being repeated. After his arthal at the hotel Davis held a levtc iu the ladies' parlor. lie was literally surrounded ly admirers, who consisted ol Southern rebels aud .North era fluukeys. Hand shaking was now in order, and sjch a welcome has seldom been witness- ed. Old nicu aud young wivc aud maid ens cried like children, for ve-y joy, as ,hJ cl3SPcd tte Land of u'e cLieI- Davis is politician enough to know that these demonstrations will not do him auy good at the North, and with the Radicals, who virtually control the Government. He told a iricud that he was sorry for iLcui, and thai he must get away iroai here qaictly, as soon as possible. He leaves bete to night for Xew Yoik, from whence he will probably proceed to New Hampshire to visit poor Prank Pierce. He will then returu to Mississippi. Judge L'udeiivood and District Attorney Chan dler arc not to blame for to-day's work. They weie really ready to try Davis. William M. Evarts, however, who is Sew ard's particular friend, aud tvho, in con nt'ciiem with Andrew Johasou, Attorney General Stanberry, Seward aud Greeley, arranged the whele affair, at YVasbiugton, said the Government, was not ready to proceed with the trial. There was noth ing left for J ttdgc Underwood but to rc ljase Davis on bail. The Administration at Washington is responsible for the whole affair. As usual, Andrew John son lias actea lite a mean wnite. uile the trial was in progress, Judge Under wood received the following despatch fiom Washington : Deware ot Greeley ! Kemember Libby Prison, Andersouvillc, and Delle Isle. urn;....., l , , . . o i . j uo your duty. . The result of two days' business will be the final release of Davis. Nobody ever expects to sec him brongbt to trial. His sureties are willing to pay the forfeit of the bond if he leaves the country. It is only one huudred thousand iustcad of half a million. So ends the last act of the slaveholders' rebellion. Horace Gree ley has all of a sudden become quite a lion with the rebels. They have iuvited him to speak to-morrow evening on the state of tho country, in the Africau Metli odist Church, and he has consented. I: is probable they will give biai a public j dinner. Precious. An urchin leading a small dog along the streets some days jgo was accosted by a gentleman as follows: ''Well, my son, what is your dog's name 1" 'Hain't got any name yet." "Well, why dus't you name him? Give him some good name. - Call him Thad. Stevens." "I don't like to do that, 'twould be dis respectful to Mr. Stevens." "Well, then, nam6 him Andrew John- "I won't do that neither, for that would be disref-j.-ee.fjJ ts tie dog?" DAVIS UNBOUND.

Yesterday his produc tion iu court, on a legal writ, was evident ly intended to be a grand historic pagcaut. The scenes were elaborately arranged ; the parts were all carefully studied. Fioxa the moment that Judge Underwood begau to so superfluously compliment the mili tary officer in charge of the prisoner, the issue of the applieatiou was evident to any mau who has any acquaintance with tho procedure of a court-room. The mutual a J miration of the counsel en tithcr sida and the court, speedily disclosed the fact that there would be no real argument or eoutest. At last, after transferring his prisoner from the military to the civil authority, the law officer of the Government state that he is not ready for trial, at,d JtfFt-rsoa Davis, who is committed to answer for the destruction of niiilirns of Government property, and the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives, is admitted to bail in a hundred thousand dollars. The course of the Executive in tho whole matter has shown an utter lack of j nerve to do either right or wrong. It re flects only discredit and humiliation oa the people. 1 1 ; . ; .7 , !.., 1 1 i t j ai i- cnucub tudi it, sumu peruaps L9 inexpedient to try 3Ir.

One evening a parent was hearing his little son, Juhnuy, iecite his Sunday school lesson. It was in '.he 13th chapter of Matthew, wherein it relates of the malicious individual who went about sowing tares, &c. 'What ia a tare ?" interrupted the fath er. Johnny hesitated. "Tell me, my son, what a Iare is." "You have had 'era," said Johnny, cast ing down his eyes, and wriggling his foot. 'Had 'em I" said the astonished parent, opening his eyes rather wide, "why, what do you mean, Johnny V "When you diun't couie home fjr three days last week," Eaid Johnny, ''I heard mother tell Aunt Susan you were on a tare." The Sunday School lesson wa9 brought to a close, and Johnny, who knew too much altogether to sit up later, was sent to bed. Tioiit Lacino. A correspondent of tho Cincinnati Gazette gives tin account of a fatal accident which occurred in Dayton a few days ago, the result of tight lacing. A young lady much given to the practice, caused a hook to be placed in the wall of her room, to which she was in the habit of fastening her corset s'rings o as to be able to draw them tichter. The other day she threw her self too heavily on the strings, aud broko a blood vessel, from whi;'a she died ia a few hours. e3TAt a Kadical meeting ia h'hdby county, Tennessee, a day or two since, a colored orator, who was a slavo two yea: ago, said : "The ltcbcls are trying to uto us as catspaws; they say we ought to hold office ; but seven years ago we di-Ju't hold anything but a hoe.handle, and would not now if they could have their way." 5y Wisdom is the olive which ."princs from the heart, blooms on tte tsru-ue, UnJ besfc US.l imca the jieSiec. 1
