The captain sent at the same time @ note to the Marie Commander on shore, demanding an official answer to bis question, if the Rayo was a bona fide, Colombian steamer or not? As be did not get any satist7,c_ tory answer from said officer, the captain then addressed # similar note ta the President of the State, Sehor Gon zales Carezo, as agent of the national government, giv- ing him two hours for returning an answer.

A Galveston paper of a late date says that Brevet Brigadier General Sedgwick passed through that city « few days ago, going North to receive his final discharge from the federal army, It is said that om bis passage he stated that be had other orders not yet made public in reference to his invasion of Mexico, and that they would go far to show that be had official warrant for all he did. He has also a copy of a letter addressed to General Grant by President Juarez, thanking him for the invasion. These documents of General Sedgwick’s, it is ‘said, will be published in the Indianapolis Herald as soon as he is perfectly and entirely relieved from army obli- gations, It is contended that the language of his orders ‘Was explicit, direct and repeated, ‘do not permit certain things to be done.” He could not obey this order with- ‘but the invasion, which it was afterwards found con- venient to ignore. Expected Discharge of Clerke in the Pay Department. About ninety clerks of tne Pay Department will be discharged next August. The act of Congress which authorized an increase in the clerical force of the several departments fixed the time during which they should be employed from the approval of the act till one year after the war bad closed or peace was declared. The dis- charge of these clerks will almost break up the Examining Office of tne Pay Department, where the ac- counts of paymasters are adjusted, and will prove a great hindrance to the department in paying the additional bounty, The more efficient of these clerks will be re- tained in the service by removing less valuable men from the old positions to make room for them. Desertions and D. tions in Ger. Augur’s mand. Major General Augur, commanding ihe Department of the Platte, on the 29th ult. issued an order setting forth ‘that reports had been made to him that certain persons in the Department were enticing soldiers to desert, and to sell their clothing, arms and ammunition, and cau- tions all officers to practice increased vigilance to detect these violations of law. Complaints had also been made that persons connected with trains crossing the plains frequently chip away the telegraph poles for fuel, and have been known to cut them down entirely. He makes it the duty of all officers and soldiers to pre- intelligent whites of the South now, when he asserts that they wish not to deny to the negro those political rights and privileges which have been accorded him. He expressed his conviction of the ultimate realisation of 1 bis appeals to them to throw aside all prejudices, bury ‘the past, and act only for the present and future. He cautioned them against designing men and demagogues, and closed with a stirring appeal for unity of action in the work of reconstructing the State, The Naval Prizes.

Silliman, Assistant Sur- geon United States Army, having been found by a board of examination incapacitated for active service, and in its judgment the said imeapacity results from sickness con- tracted since he entered the service, the President has directed that his name be placed upon the list of retired officers of that class im which the disability results from faithfal service.

O'Hara seems to belong to the better class of freedmen, repre- sented by such men as Brooks from Fredericksburg, Nash of Columbia, and Harrie of Raleigh, who wisely caution their fellow freedmen against the pernicious ad- vice of the political missionaries, whose whole sim, as O'Hara intimated, was the spoile.

Their Arrival and Reception at Richmond, . &e. he. ae DEPARTURE OF DAVIS FROM PRISON. Foaranss Mornos, May 11, 1867. A large crowd of persons gathered on the wharf around the steamboat landing this morning to witness the departure of Jefferson Davis for Richmond. A busy scene presented itself at Carroll Hall at an early hour, preparation being made by Mr. Davis and his family to bid farewell tothe many associations here which nearly two years residence have impreased upon their memories. Atseven o'clock Generai Burton visited Carroll Hall and found Mr. Davis ready to accompany him. Leave takings were exchanged by bim-and his family with their friends in the fort, and his confinement here became among the things of the past. General Burton walked on one side of Mr. Davis and ‘Dr. Cooper, his physician, on the other. Robert Ould and the brother of Mr. Davis, who arrived here last evening from Vicksburg, escorted Mrs. Davis and her sister, and they were followed by several friends, Aserene smile illuminated the countenance of Mr. Davis as he conversed in a cheerful manner with those who came to take leave of him, and after he had in a kindly way bid them good bye, he, with his family and General Burton, proceeded leisurely to wend his way to the steamer John Sylvester, which was in waiting to taxe the entire party to Richmond. As Mr. Davis walked along he was greeted by numer- ous friends, who came over frem Norfolk to see him once more. He received them allin the most cordial manner, warmly acknowledging their congratulations. Mr. Davis was dressed in a plain dark suit, wore a black felthat, and carrieda cane. His face was very pale, his form attenuated, his hair slightly gray, which, with his brightly glittering eyes, gave him a very feobie appear- ance; but yet, taking all things together, he looked much better and stronger than whem he was first im- pnsoned. Marebals Underwood and Duncan were on board the steamer, and will accompany Mr. Davis to Richmond. General Burton will re-arrest Mr. Davis, under the indictment for treason pending against him, should he be released by Judge Underwood, as a military pris- oner. ARRIVAL OF MR. DAVIS AT RICHMOND. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE HERALD. Ricwwonn, Va.. May 11, 1867. hur. Jefferson Davis arrived in Richmond at six P. M. to-day, in charge of Geverai Burton, preparatory to his Production in court on Monday, in answer to the writ of habeas corpus issued some days since. He came on the boat from Fortress Monroe accompanied by Mrs. Davis, Mr. Burton N. Harnson, bis former private secre- tary; Mr. Robert Ould, and other friends, The distin- guished prisoner is lodged in comfortable quarters at ‘the Spotiswood Hotel, acecssible to the sympathizing visits of fmends, and in the slightest possible durance, if any. Perhaps his lodgment at this pleasant place, rather than within the dreary walls.of Libby, may be accepled as sm augury that the intentions of the govern- ‘ment toward him are not such.a#. need excite the ap- prehension of his friends, mali ” ‘This remarkable arrival Hse made" Comparatively little ‘@xcitement in the city. “Although + had been well. known that Mr. Davis was to cdme.on the bost and. arrive at Rockett’s this afternoon, there was no very Gredt assemblage at the wharf. It had been requested, through the morning papers, that there should be no de- ‘Mmonstration, and they who might havecome out through sympathy stayed away in obedience to that request, and the efficient police prevented any extensive assembiage of @ different cheracter. From an early hour, also, soldiers had been stationed at all the avenues leading to the landing. None could go beyond these but such as could show good business or professional reasons; end thus the assemblage that awaited the distinguished § arrival at Roctett’s was made up of & goodly representation of the press, Bhy heck, oinibus and dray drivers, ef all sbades, ‘as many more Jaborers and freight handlers. and a sprinkling of United States officers. The infantry guard on duty comprised detachments irom the Bleventh and Twenty-njath regiments. Three carriages were in waiting to bear the party to the hotel, and to escort these there was a mounted guard from the Fifth United States artillery, But litte interest was manifest. Negroes lay tisticssly in the shade, or dozed on the seats of their hacks, laborers unloaded drays as they came, and all were intent on anything but the coming man. The interest, however, deepened and the crowd grew large as the hour for the arrival came nearer. Meanwhile, Mr. Davis was on his way up the river, The embarkation had taken place in proper order at Fortress Mouroe, Messrs. Duncan and Underwood, the United States Marshals, bad served the writ on Gen. Bur- ton on Faiday, and, learning that he would obey is, had returned to Norfolk and remained over night, their errand being completed. As the General had to have bw prisoner in Richmond on Monday, .and it was not deemed worth while to run ® special vessel, it was de- termined to convey bim by the regular boat from Nor- folk, Which touches at Fortress Momroe, This was the John Syivester, am ordimary river steamer. Leaving Nerfoik at the esual beer she reached the desk at Old Point at eight A, M., and waited for the distinguished In ao little while Mr. Davie appeared, escorted by Mr, Ould and General Burton, He conversed quite at his ease with different persons on his way down. Mra Davis accompanied him. The ladies’ cabin would have been given up to the party; but a lady passenger hed been taken suddenly very ill, and it was left to her. It is a remarkable incident of #0 short a passage that this lady died. Thus shut out of the cabin on the main deck the party went up to the stateroom hall and remained there throughout the trip, ‘& pleasant stateroom being appropriated to Mr. Davis. He was under no restraint, remained in bis room, or at times came and circulated freely among the passengers, talked but little, and was in tolerably good spirita He came out on the upper deck as the boat stopped at the different landings, and accosted bis friends or acquaint- ‘ances who chanced to be visible on shore. Many sight- seers were gathered at these points, anticipating that he ypuld pass up. But there was no demonstration. The pleasant sail affected the prisoner's appetite perhaps, for he ate a very hearty dinner. Mr, Davia’ face has no depression in it. Tt is mot in the remotest degree the countenance of » man bowed down, nor yet w it in any sense defiant, It is bard and baggard, yet brightened as if with an habitual smile, His beard, worn on the chin only, is very gray, and so are the thin curts that are cast carelessly behind his care. He stands erect, and his step is light and elastic, He wore a plain, dark suit, with a wide brimmed soft, feit hat, To friends, however, who bad known him in former years, he appeared to have undergone terrible changes. Ata little before six o'clock the boat drew near to the wharf at Rockett’, The cry, “Here she is,” startea the listless and drowsy to their feet, and drew all the idters, loungers, backmen and the army of reporters to the water’s edge, to catch the first glimpse. Negroes swarmed om top of omoibumes ‘and on top of sheds, ar stood up in carriages, while on the wharf there was general jostling and stumbling over all sorts of impediments. Guards wore stationed at the forward gangway of the boat, and just as this manceuvre had drawn the greater part of the crowd that way, @ plank was laid down aft. Mra, Davis stepped on, leaning on the arm of the Hon, James Lyon, and pre- ceded by Mr. Robert Ould, who led the way to the car- riagea, Some other ladies and gentlemen followed, and then General Burton stepped forward, followed closely by Mr. Davis. They proceeded to the carriages, and in an jnstant more were in and driving away at full speed. Mr. Davis, General Burton, Mr. Burton Harrison, and Dr. Cooper, went in one carriage. The crowd that now thronged arcund scarcely had time to make @ rush before the whole party were whirl- ing toward the city, Away went the carriages, away at foll speed went the crowd of mounted artillerymen, balf loat in to dust raised by the vehicles; and away after them, rushing, hooting, balloing, wont a rabble of half-framtic megrees, men, women agd children. Large numbers of these had assembled outside the cor- don of guards ona high bluff, in the streets and up the whole length of the sidewalk, and, as the carriages @rove furiously by, these took up the shouting, and / joined the pursuit ing madly ip the attempt t Lpesirgdpnwei yi the attempt 10 | cruities of the Military bill—to do the strangest poe Keep up and catch a sight of the prisoner. ‘When the cortege wheeled-into Main street the crowd foliowing the carriages increased in numbers, and the windows, doors, and every available point was occupied by ladies and gentlemen along the Spottswood Hotel. It was easy to discern in the faces of the white citizens ‘who stood in single and double file along the sidewalk, a feeling of silent sympathy with the man who, though NOW 4@ captive, resigned and powerless, was once their proud and cherished representative, The three carriages conveying Mr. Davis and the party who accompanied him drove along the street at a most rapid pace, followed by the cavalry escort, with flash- ing sabres, who rattled over the stony pavement with a terrific clash of hoofs, raising clouds of dust in their wake. In the rear of the fast moving procession an immense crowd of men and boys, principally negroes, followed, making no other demonstration than the mere disturbance of the dust and the unusual spectacle, in this quiet city, of what appeared to be half the popula- tion rushing through the streete at a panic stricken rate, The upper windows of the leading stores on Main atreet were occupied by tashionably dressed ladies, while the store entrances wore in every instance thronged by the leading citizens uf Richmond. Hf the negro predominated, it is owing to the fact that the locality at which Mr. Davis landed is inhabited in a great measure by negroes; and having learned the fact of his arrival they followed the procession in large force to its destination. The whites, as a general thing, stood quietly by, and with a peculiarly blended expression of half sympathy, half sorrow, looked silently on The cavalry clatter attracted the attention of a considerable umber of persons in the streets adjacent to Main street, who were totally ignorant of what was going on, and these came rashing down to the principal thoroughfare of the city, adding to the already great crowd in motion. Mr. Davis alighted from his carriage in front of the Spottswood Hotel, his ‘bearing calm, resolute and un- changed, and passed across the sidewalk between a dense row of citizens, who elevated thelr hats, and with silent deference bowed their heads, while the prisoner, with bis bands crossed, and wearing a smile of courteous recognition of the compliment paid him, walked into the hotel, and passed quickly up to the rooms prepared for his reception, Shortly afterwards Mrs, Davis, accompanied by Mr. James Lyons, descended from her carriage, and passed throng a file of police into the ladies’ entrance of the hotel, ali the gentlemen present, policemen included, uncovering their heads in silence on her appearance. ‘The ladies of the Hollywood Memorial Bazaar thronged the windows of the building where the bazaar has been held, and many faces suffused with tears were clearly discernible among the fair spectators, Gazing furtively out of the windows of the hotel might be observed oc- casionally some beautiful Southern ladies, clad in black, loowing sad and tearful, and ever and anon sobbing audibly over the peculiar of Mr. Davis’ visit, This evening, about eght o'clock, Mr. Davis, at his own réquest, removed to his old apartments in the hotel, which soon became a rendezvous for a select circle of his old friends and acquaintances, The Rev. Dr. Minnigerode, who preached the last sermon which Mr. Davis listened to in the South on that memorable Sunday when Lee’s army retreated from Richmond, called upon him and had a most interesting interview of about half an hour. ‘The Doctor was astonished at the change which has taken place in the appearance of Mr. Davia, He could hardly believe that two years of imprisonment could bleach the captive’s hair so white or produce that pallor and emaciation which Mr. Davis so visibly exhibited -~ ‘Uptoan advanced eur this evening Mr. Daviphes Deen receiving visitors, enly one or two ats time; for of flowers in his hand; under: Temraint, and conversing affably with one or two gen. temen, Mr. Davis passed'the evening. Mrs. Dayis’ and a few other ladies formed part of the company, to- gether with Mr. Burton N. Harrison, former private pecretary of Mr. Davis, " The crowd which had assembied in fyont of the hetel @uring the early part of the evenfhg gradually and quietly dispersed; but the cavairy force is still patrolling the city. Over one hundred citizens have called on Mr, Davis, among them Mr. Mayo, the Mayor of Richmond; Mesers, Reed, of Philadelphia, and Tacker, of Virginia. ‘Mr. Davis’ counsel are here. Charles O’Conor and Mr. Shea are expecied to-morrow. ‘It seems a strange circumstance that the lady who died on the boat was named Mrs, Davis. In the conversation on the boat Mr. Davis said to a friend that he bad apy amount of Jife in him yer, and fet that he would live many years if be should get through all his troubles. Shortly after the departare of the steamer from the fortress, Marsbals Underwood and Duncan, who were on their return to Richmond, were introduced t the prisover. Mr. Davis said :— “I heard of your visit to the fort yesterday, gentle- men.” “] hope the visit was not an unwelcome one,” said Marsbal Duncan. “Certainly not,” replied Mr. Davis; ‘‘on the contrary it is one J have wished for a great while; I have wished to be Drought within the pale of the law; I have seen the buds come out on the trees im the fort, and I bave seen them fade and fall; I have seen the trees again bud, and the leaves burst forth, and again wither and fade; and this year once more i saw the leaves appear on the same trees, bat ] assure you I do not wish to see them fal! a third time.” “T hope, sir,” said the Marshal with earnest sincerity, “your troubjes will soon be over.” Judge Underwood this afternoon saying agzin that, 00 far op the Court is concerned, the triet will take place, expressed the belief that the counsel on one side or the other would profess themeslves not ready, which will Rave the effect of postppning it, In any event, it ‘Will got take place enti] the arrival of Jedge Chase, and in view of the many contfadic: ory statements on this point I will say that the Chief Justice has said unequivo- caily that be will come here and preside at the trial upon the adjournment of the Supreme Court, He con- siders that the Military bill does not apply to Federal courts, and that those tribunal are now not mibject to the objection he made last year of being held under military authority. Last year there was no law here but martial law, and this ie now abrogated by the Mili- tary Dill. ‘What May Be Done With Davis— What Law is Paramesst in Virginia. Ricamonp, May 11, 1867. Mach is conjectured and little known as to what will de done in the case of Mr. Davis, It dose not seem probable that Chief Justice Chase and President Johnson should be playing an idle game of cross purposes in a matter £0 likely to attract general attention, and so the common notion that they fally understand each other in this matter is doubtless correct, Their understanding wili result in bringing Mr, Davis imto court—and what then? One important point will already have been mado when Mr. Davie is brought into court—be will be out of the hands of ihe military anthorition, In » district where law is #0 far re-established that the habeas corpus can be invoked for the protection of personal right, civil acthority must be supreme for all but mere police pur- poses, and the court cannot admit the contrary. It cammot, therefore, commit such an incongruity as to remand the prisoner to the fortress His future keeper therefore will be the Marabal of the disirict. Ho will be im the hands of a civil officer, although of course the military of the post will mot withhold any security that their assistance can afford against escape or rescue, Being in the hands of the civil authority, the prisoner will be accessible to law in all forms quite within the reach of any and all processes by which men are brought into Court, Suppose, then, there te the usual “law's delay,” Jadge Underwood, perhaps, will not admit to bail— though there is 20 reason why he should refuse that Tight since under the law of 1862 treason is mot « capi- tal crime. He in said, however, pcbapscigr Lagat in this case, and the opinions of Judges are koows as law, He will not admit to bail, and monthe are consumed in the attempt to get a jury. People grow impstient— the prisoner’s counsel above all—and suddenly Mr. Davie appeais to Gen, Schofield to in- terfere under the clause of the recent Reconstraction bill, wirich requires the commander of the district to see tbat ali persons accused of crime should haves speedy trial, Ro calls upon the Yr'ted States military authori. ties to interfere against the United States Court, under the law of Congress that is held to be paramount 1 ail other law in this district. Would not this then be a very pretty teat case that tbe Yresident had put op for great, in the. government, — “what ie eve stated, and thas us fiat the young Kempaper, — 3 Congress, to try whether or not Virginia iss State or & military distri! ? It is not quite certain whether the intention is wo wy Mr. Davis, or whether Mr. Chase and Mr. Jobuson have put their heads together to illustrate the porsivie invon- mble things under authority of the Reconstruction wct— merely to show the country what @ queer law Cou. gress has made. Rucamony, May 11, 1867 In view of the recent riot the Eleventh United Staies infantry is about to encamp permaneatly at the City Springs Park, within the city. Some citizens have laid before General Subofeld a complaint about the language at the colored meeting Friday night, which is likely to produce further disturb- ‘ances, and the matter is being investigated. A large number of permits have heen granted to be Present ut the session of the United States Court op Mon- day, many of them to colored people, THE JAPANESE COMMISSION. Their Business fer the Thre Tycoon Comp! Americans, &c. The question of “What brings another Japanese Km. bassy to the United States?’’ is frequently asked, but has not been satisfactorily answered. Several reasons are assigned for the second visit, some of which are that the commissioners have been sent over by bis Majesty the Tycoon to swap off some of the islands be- longing to his Majesty in exchange for Tron-clads ana monitors; some say that it is to have the opening of the Port of Osacca deferred another year; while others, whe pretend to kuow, say that the principal business of the ommissioners is to bave the steamer contract, made 1 1863, between the Tycoon and the American Minister, Hon. Robert H. Prayn, then Miuister resident at Yeddeo, Thurlow Weed and Robert L. Lansing, thoroughly tilated, It is probably generally known that the contract made was for the building three men-of-war steamers for the Japanese government (two frigates and one corvette) the frigates fifty-two and the corvette twenty-two guns, armed and equipped compiete, to be delivered in Japan, on or belore the Ist of January, 1867. ‘The par- ties named, Weed and Lansing, were irastecs, appointed ‘by Minister Pruyn, to whose credit the money for building the three sbips was deposited in London and New York, The amount was stated by one of the parties interested to be $3,000,000 gold. The amount is now said to be $1,500,000 gold—one-half that amount. Captain J. J. Comstock was made naval constructor, and Jesse Gay, formerly of the navy, and chief engineer of the Perry expedition to Japan, was constructing engineer. ‘The corvette of some 1,100 tons, the Fusi-Yama, was. built and left this port in November, 1905, for Japan, ‘under the command of Captain Hallett, She arrived and ‘was accepted by the Japanese government. The ship, it. was said said by those who know the cost of building, cost $260,000 gold, The price charged by the trestees was $500,000, The ship has not given satisfaction. The Japanese complain that abe is not well built; that ebe te slow; that her armament is not what was contracted for. Allowance should be made for the dissatisfaction of the Japanese government somewhat, as they are made to Delieve many things told them by English, French and other foreign naval offcere stationed in Japan, about their American ship that is not true—told to prejudice thom, ‘The Japanese think it very strange that thoy have re- ceived only one email ship, that so much money should be kept by the American Minister and trusicen nearly and not getting their sh’ ‘Much injury has been done ¢ operation, for it m said the.Py: Steamers—The se of Shabby Treatment by government by thie a has Jost confidence ta. ‘brother of the present Tycoon, bas been sent to France ‘to be educated, that the Japaness.government hae con- tracted with the French for iron-clads, ordnance, small arma, &c., aud has advanced 3,500,000 francs. All thie thas been done, it is said, because they have been eo shabbily treated by the Americans, There is positive proof that this steamer contract is the principal part of the business of the Embassy. This was indirectly etaled by the second Commissioner before leaving New York. MEXICO. Tampice in Revolt and Suspended as a Pert of Entry-The Death ef Miramon Cou. firmed—The Sieges of Querctare.
