Davis, while in London, did not scem to t any great degree of attention, and very litfle in New York on his retarn, or even in Bak timore, where he has been spending some days. But his reception in Alexandria this morving Was something like an ovation. In fact that quiet, dreamy city has not been so excited tor many along day. Numbers of the members of the 17th Virginia Regiment, (rebel,) which was evlisted mostly in Alexandria, turned out to greet their old chief, and he was made much of by the landiord of the Mansion House, where he stopped, John 8. Green, who was an officer in the confederate army. To-day he has gone out to visit his late Adjutant General Coeper, at his residence at Seminary Hill, near Alexandria. INTERNAL REVENUE.—The receipts to-day from this seurce were #484,154.98. THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE CAntnet was held to-day with all the members present, The President received no visitors this morning. Paymaster Wa. N. Watmoven, of the United States navy, was married in Norfolk, Va., yesterday, to a daughter of Admiral Sands. SENATOR MORRILL, of Maine, we regret to bear, is centined to his bed by a severe attack of inflammation of the stomach. His physicians think his case is critical, and they will not aliow him to receive callers. Skcretary Cox will probably retire f-om the Interior Department about the latter part of next week, and Hon. Colambus Delano, the new Secretary. will qualify and enter upon the discharge of his duties. Inpian AGENTS RELIEVED FROM DuTY.— Major Samuel Koss, U. 8. A., unassigned, has been relieved from duty as Superintendent of Indian Affaire in Washington Territory, and placed on waiting orders. Captain T. A. Bald- win and Captain A. D. Palmer have also been relieved from daty as Indian Agents. SENATOR Mortow arrived here to-day, and is stopping at the National. From fatigue and indisposition, caused by his journey from In- dianapolie here, he was unuable to receive call- ere to-day; and the army of interviewers who sought to get to him to learn all about the Eng- lish mission, and who he would recommend for bis successor, were disappointed. APPOINTMENTS KY THE PResipent.—The President made the following appointments to- day: J. B. Jones, of the Indian Territory, to be agent of the Cherokee Agency. John S. Follansbee, ot California, to be Regis- ter of the Land Office in the Shasta lana district, California. Charles McDonald, of Calitornia, to be Re- ceiver of Public Moneys for the same district.

STEAMER SHENANDOAN.— The navy Officials feel no appretension as to the safety of the U. S.steamer Shenandoah, which sailed from Boston on the 5th of September f r Lisbon, to join the European squadron. TLe orders of the Department are that vessels of the navy shall always use sail unless absolutely necessary to use their engines; hence, the She- nandoah went out under sail, and with adverse winds it would take her at least a month to reach Lisbon, and several weeks more betore the Department would receive notice of her arrival. [tis probable that she stopped at Ma- deira or some of the islands on the way out, ‘The Shenandoah is a very staunch steamer, of 929 tons burden, and is oue of the best sea-going vesselsin the navy. Her safe arrival at Lisbon will no doubt be reported in the course of a few days. ‘THE PReSIDENT's LETTER TO SENATOR Mor.

I fully concur with you in a!) the rea- sons which you give for the course which you find it your duty to pursue in the matter, but re gretthat the country is not to have your valu- able services at the English court at this im- portant juncture.

No points of interest are presented beyond those we have already given. The following from the Cincinnati Enquirer, ® paper that, not more than # fortnight ago, rather favored the capital-wheeling project, now sums up the whole story ot the late con- vention in the following summary manner : “The Capital Convention—one of the most stupendous farces of the year—brought its la- bors to an abrupt close yesterday. From the first, it was a failure; and, as might have been prophesied, nothing ‘detinite was accomplished. e few gentlemen who attended the conven. tion seemed to have been greatly troubled by the lack of interest taken in their body by the of this ; and they vented their spleen veral wavs. They adopted resolutions tavor ing a more central location for the National head; determined to memorialize Congress upon the subject ot adding nothing more the present ped calculated to add to its permaneucy; re- aftirmed the resolution of the St. Louis Conven- tion; made provision tor future conventions; ap- pointed an executive committee; abused Cin- npati and adjourned sine die.

James ©. Smith was the name of a young man who, shortly after the breaking out of the rebellion, enlisted in the 17th New York volun- teers as a private, and was promoted daring the war by being made a non-commissioned officer. In 1563, he was wounded and was sent to Mount Pleasant hospital, Just north of this city, and during the latter parttf that year he was detatied to work in the carpenters’ gang. In December he was in the habit of visiting a house knewn as_-‘ Auge’s,” near the northern terminus of Sth’ street, and here he acquainted with a girl calling herself ‘NETTIE BROWN,” who was then about fifteen years old. Smith says she stated to him that her mother had driven her a from home on account of her staying out at night. On the 6th of January, 1864, he was married to this girl by Kev. Father ‘Walter—she under her assumed name of Brown, her real name being Sheldon. About ten days afterwards, her mo! having heard that she Was married, went to the hospital and enquired of some of the officers as to the character of Smith, and, receiving for answer that he had been a steady man, but had recently married and subsequently took to drinking. she stated that be had married her iter under her arsumed name of Brown, and she intended they should be re-married. On the evening of January 16,sbe invited several parties to see the ceremony, and the young people were MARRIED AGAIN by the same clergyman who first married them— Rev. Father Walter—-at St. Patrick’s Church— she giving her correct maiden name this time— and they proceeded to the residence of the girl’s parents, on A north, between 3d 4th streets east. He: ey lived for a short time, Dut sul juently removed to a house near the bead of street, where, it is stated, they dia not live happil, ther. They, however, con- tinued te resi togetber until Smith's regiment was ordered home, to be mustered out, about May, 1864, when he to New York, where he’ received his >and shortly atterwards she joined him m New York bos | and resided with him there a few months, ‘and then returned to Washington in WIDOW’S WEEDS, saying poor Smith was dead. Several months elapsed. when the disconsolate widow (7) dried Ler tears and went into company, and while in charge of a tancy table at a fair Mr. Charles P. Wannall, jr., was introduced to her. She told him in an artless manner that she was the widow of an officer, to whom one day, and he receiving or: forced to bid her tar. i at three o'clock the same afternoon, aud had never seen him since, and that she was then employed in a cloak factory. COURTING followed, but it was carried on at other places than her home, she telling Wannall that she was an orphan and under the guardianship of her aunt, wha was opposed to her havin, beau. She managed to meet him frequently— in defiance of the mythical aunt—and in August, 1866, they went to Baltimore, and on Friday, August 3ist, they were married by Rev. Thomas Burrow, in that city; he giving his reai- dence to the minister as Iichmond, Va, and she giving her e as Lettie H. Smith, of Baltimore. They subse: ently returned to this city, and the marriage was kept concealed for some time, but finally was made known to Wannali’s relatives, and in due course of time A CHILD WAS BORN, In the summer of °68 the child became sickly, and as she at that time was not in good health, she took her babe to the country. Notwith- standing her assertions that Smith was dead, she had previously to this time applied for a dt vorce from him, which was granted by the court here November ist. 1867. This fact be- coming known to Wannall, he examined farther and satisfied himself that he had MARRIED ANOT MAN'S WIFE. He therefore, in August, 1863, while she was ab- ent, filed a bill for a divorce, which wasrefused Her bill for a divorce from James Smith, pre- pared by Mr. M. Thompson and filed onthe is:b of January, 1%7, (five and a balf months atter she was married to Wannall,) set forth that she was married to Smith (her maiden name being Sheldon.) in St. Patrick's church, on the 6th day of January, 1863, by Rev. Father Walters, she then beirg in her sixteenth year, and after they had lived together nine or ten months he deserted her and they did not live together afterwards; that he had been intemperate, idle and dissolute, and treated her with great cruelty; in the month of July, i563, throwing her down the stairsteps, hurting her so that she was un- able to speak fo1 April he THREATENED TO SHOOT HER, in her father’s house, én A street north, between 3d and 4th streets, but was prevented by her shutting the door; and about the same time he threatened to kill her with a bayonet, but she escaped. And she also charged that he com- mitted adultery in a house on «th street, in De- cember, 1863, and also at other times and place: ‘The testimony in this case was taken on tl 2dot April following, by Mr. E.

The bill for Mr. Wannall, filed in August, Iss, sets forth that they were married in Baiti- more by Rev. Thomas Barrow, on the Stst of August, 1366; that as the iruits of said marriage there was one child; that she represented that she was the widow of James C. Smith, an officer of the United States military service, and con- fiding in this statement he married her, al- though fie was but twenty years of age he time, anti she come six or Seven years his senior, (a fact she concealed from him,) and being un- der the control of his relatives, he gave his resi- dence as Richmond, Vs., and she her residence as Baltimore, both desiring to KEEP THE MARRIAGE CONCEALED from his relations. That after they had been married eome time, reports were in circulation ‘that said James C. Smith was still living, but ‘be insisted were false, and dead; that ho expectsd” to, fat sho had two or three days; that ia m jarke, with one of t!

Mor- ell, TWO CENTS. nall was apprised of all the circumstances con- nected wit ERR FORMER MARRIAGE. She charged that although satisfied that Smith was dead, by the persuamon of W.’s relatives the filed a bill for a decree of divorce from him, She denied that she was six ot seven years Wannall’s senior, having been born in "47 or ‘48, and prayed that the bill be dismissed. The testimony was taken in this case before Commissioner J. J. Johnson, and witnesses for Plaintiff testified to the tact of the marriage with Smith, and also to having heard of his en- listing in the navy. On cross-examination one of the witnesses testified to finding the name of James C. ®MITH ON THE “DEAD ROLL.” The complainant having failed to prove that Smith was living at the time he married respon- dent, when the case came 2 on the 9th of Apmil, 1869, Judge Olin made a decree dismissing the bill. Mr. J. H. Bradley Jr.. appeared with Mr. Morseli for the respondent. Wannall!, after the dismissa! of the bill, did not resume his marital relations, but being satis- fied in his own mind that Smith sti!l lived, en- tered on the task of finding him, and immedi- ately leftthe city, and from that time up to last Friday has been following up all clues which lead to the numerous Smiths who bail served in the army and were stationed about Washington the time of the marriage of 1503. He travelled xtensively, principally to the West and South, INTERVIEWING THE SMITH FAMILY, and the herculean nature of his self-imposed task may be inferred from the fact that he traced up, and held conversations with six or seven hundred of the name, besides writing to every.place where SMITHS, SMITHES, SMYTHS, OR SMYTHES resided, but failed to get a clue to the missing dames C., ‘THE IDENTICAL 6MITH, (James C.,) who suddenly made his appearance in this city, having waiked from Chattanooga, Tenn., where he had been at work, to this city, on his way to his home in New York, where his mother resides. As may be supposed he looked the worse for wear after his long tramp; but as he walked along New York avenue he was recog- nized by an acquaintance, under whom he worked at Mount Pleasant, who was repairing a house in ghe neighborhood where they met. Smith appeared avaious to go to work, was em- Ployed next morning, and continued work ‘until Friday.last. On that day his who knew something of his history, sa Wannall to be still pursuing his search after Smith in Alaska, or Florida, or all over the United States, was surprised to see that enter- individual by the house on which a hailed bim. telegore oae halted, him, asked, ‘Charley, where have LOOKING FOR SMITH, and where I have not been in person I have written, and bave had no success.” Boss.— “Now, Charley, what would you give to see him?” Wannall.—*I will give $500.” Boss.— “Well, you can see him, it will not cost you @ cent.’ Wannall, (excitedly.)— ‘+ Where?” Boss.—‘‘You’ve got no further to go—in that building.” Wannall, laboring under excitement, urmediately started as if to go in, but was stopped by the vos, who told him to keep cool, and conducted him into the basement, where he told him to remain until he brought Smith down. A8 may be supposed, Wannall was all anxiety during the next few minutes, while the boas went to Smith and informed him that his wife’s husband was own stairs, aud invited him to come down and see his successor. Smith immediately cum) lied, and after a formal intro- duction propped bis foot upon a trusele, and thus addressed Wannall: “50 YOU'RE THE ROOSTER WHO MARRIED NY WIP: are you’ Wannall, greatly excited, replic “Yes, 1 was caught in that trap,” and immed ately swooned, greatly alarming his wife’s ticst husband. In afew minutes he recovered, and said, “Excuse me, I was OvERCOME.”” Smith misunderstood this remark to be an apology on Wanneli’s part for marrying bis wife, and said to him, ‘Don’t be afraid, { don’: want anything to do with her.” Wannall then remarked, placing his hand on Smith’s shoal. der, “Old fellow! how glad Iam. I’ve found what I’ve been looking for these two years past.” Smith, at Wanuall’s request, immedi- ed stopped work, and the latter took steps to file A NEW BILL FoR DIVORCE, and parties were found who knew Smith at Mount Pleasant, were invited to his second marriage, and knew that he and his bride lived as man and wife subsequently. Smith has also made an affidavit of the facts, in which he states that in 1067, (one year after her marriage with Wannall,) he received affectionate letters from her, fog tag money, and after the decree ot divorce in her case against him she sent him, !n aletter, a slip {.0m a newspaper giving count of the suit. Meifrs. Norris aud No: have prepared and filed yesterday a new bill for petitioner, in this new bill of Chas. P. Wann Lette H. Wannall, be states that he isa citizen of the District, now temporarily residing in Missouri, and after repeating the allegations in the former bill, he states that her whole story as to Smith's death was false; that the said James C. Smith is still living; that he is now present in Washington, and has been here for several weeks; that when he instituted sait on Augus isés, he was not in possession of the fact that Smith was then alive, nor of his iden- lity; thatsinee the returnof Smith he has pro- cured his affidavit, ani others establishing his identity. ‘The usual writ or subpona .o answer was is- sued and placed in the hands ot Mr. James Iid- wards, bailiff, and he returned it this morning as served. Mrs. Wannall has retained Mr. J. H. Bradley as her counsel, and will probably file her an- swerfin a few days. soe: — Summary of Peace Negotiations. St. PETERSBURG, Oct. 2%.—The following summary ef negotiations on the part of the neu- tral powers fer an armistice is published here to-day trom an authentic source: After reci the determination of the neutral powers to the first opportunity that presented itself, th document proceeds to state that Russia, on Jules Favre's visit to the Prussian headquart-rs, believed that the long-looked-for opportunity rived. At this moment the reception of the Prussian note on the starvation of Paris caused a change in the ideas of the neutrals. When, however, they pressed the subject of meciation again. Kussia held back, on the ground that mediation unsupported by force would be worthless. The conditions of peace must be left to the belligerents. The cause was Possible to convoke a national assembly, which alone was competent to decide on the question of peace or war. In view of these considerations it was England that an armistice, and in this she was supported by all the neutral powers. Lonpon, Oct. 27.—The ze e TELEGRAMS TO THE STAR.
