Davidson, and a free, frank conversa- tion ensued upon the subject matters which are just now of vital interest to The committee expressed freely the satisfaction of their constituents at the near approach of peace and the resumption of industry ana civil law also in tho warmest terms, their ffrateful appreciation of the soldierly straightforwardness, gentlemanly courtesy and justice that has characterized the rule of the General in this district. The General assured them that although he felt happy in their good opinion, a soldier attached no credit to the performance of his duty.

Cabhtet Ciiavhe. llie Washington correspondent of th- Xew York.

Express writes There appears to be much speculation in the newspapers regarding the future policy to be pursued by President Johnson, as to official changes. Having conversed freely with those who are somewhat intimate with the President, I am enabled to say that it is quite certain that many changes will be made in high positions, and Andrew Johnson will be the President, and as such will bare his pergonal and political friends abour him. It is not to be taken for granted that Mr. Lincoln's personal or party friends, or preferences for high official station, are necessarily those of Mr. Johnson.

Not at Ih The President of the United States hag, fortunately or unfortunately, a large amount of patronage to dispense, and iu giving this out he has a perfect right to re- member his friends, and especially, in- this ease, those who stood by him, personally, in the dark of the labt four years and you may be sure that Andrew Johnson will do it. There will be notable exceptions, es pecially wbeM present incumbent is found to possess the qualifications peculiarly i ssscttsary-for' his position. In this connection, it is presumed that Secretary Mc-i iCuUoch will remain in the Cabinet. It is argued by the friends of the President, (and wry properly,) that it will do no harm to uifuse a little more life, and health and vigor in these, as well as other positions. There will, most probably, be an entire Mhaolrng of our consular and diplomatic force, and the President's recom-mtfldaUop, must be more regarded than V1 were the present occupants hs had a full term, and cannot grumble if PT "ay for others.

SA MOVE JH THE RIGHT MRECTION. In commendable spirit of carofulneee for th best interests of the oomm unity, and with a praiseworthy appreciation of what is at the present moment tho soundest policy, the Administration at Washington, now that the war is over, Is devoting itself to the relief of the country from some of tho burdens which were the necoesary though onerous incidents of the contest. This is good policy, inasmuch as it will have the effect of lifting from tho people one of those irksome reminders of the existence of mil. itary law, which come home to the business and bosoms of every man an 1 woman, in the hape of a restriction upon free locomotion and, moreover, those restrictions upon trade, which Lave so crippled the willing energies of large numbers of our people. We have betn informed on m-st credible authority, that tho Commanding General of the Department is about to issuo an order, in compliance with one from Washington, abrogating both the passport and the trade ruiit systems.

The effect of such a proclamation must in every way, moat benign. It will open long closed avenues to profitable trade, to the renewal of commercial privi)gs uud advantages, of which the stem requisitions of a war policy have for years deprived as, and to the consequent restoration of that prosperity which was so signally rewarding the business energies of our people, when the late unhappy differences commenced. It will, we think, have the immediate etiect ot" iinpresiing upon the mind of the commuuity-the great fact that the war is over, and that with that happy consummation the reign of peace, has indeed commenced; that hereafter the work of paramount importance for all to combine in carrying on is the recuperation of business energies, and the restoration of commerce to its lately disturbed, but now re-t'jtened acd legitimate channels. fji?" The Natchez Courier s. that the people of Adams county are not yet moving to elect delegates to tho Vickuburg Convention.

They are probably waiting for some civil not military authority to call it. Besides this, tho highest military authority, that of (Jen. Cauby, has forbidden it unless it is simply to be a nominating or sngges-tive convention, such as political parties get nP- Intf.restino Particllaks of Jf.pk. Davis's Fliht A Significant Conversation. Tho Herald's Chester (S.

correspondent, writing on the l'ith. rolates th-following Those who have read tho Herald will remember that Davis issued a proclamation at Danville, on his arrival there. That proclamation was written by Benjamin, on a rough, dusty table, in the gloomy composing room of a country printing office. The table on which it was penned is now used by Mr. Hannam to writo his correspondence on to your paper.

Mrs. Davjfi preceded her husband until he crossed the North Caroliua line, when she rejoined him. Jeff. Davis remained at Charlotte until 12 o'clock on the day that the armistice ex- Eired. At 1 1 o'clock on that day his horse, a and soma, blooded bay, was brought to the door of the private heuse in which he was stoppiug.

At I'i, having learned that the terms of the aforesaid convention wore rejected, be mounted his horse, and accompanied by nunterous friends and officials, rode oil. At the name time two thousand cavalry, under command of Major Gen. Dibbrel, moved off with him, acting in the capacity of an escort. That night Davis reached the vicinity of Lexington, where he encamped. Tbe next morning he took breakfast with James Madison Leach, ex-member of the United States Congress, and one of the body who styled themselves Confederate States Congress.

Mr. Leach was reported to be strongly in avor of re-union. In parsing through Lexington, Davis was introduced by Judge Freeman, of Mississippi, who was traveling with him to Dr. JJusenburv. a native of tbe place.

The doc- tor invited Davis to take a drink of apple 1 1 .1 r- brandy, and he did so. A brief crtuvira- tion ensued. The doctor remarked Mr. David, our cause is lot." Davis replied Our cause may be lot, but the principle for wbicb we are contending will present itself at another in another shape." He meant that there would yet be a conflict between the great agricultural interest of the South and the manufacturing and commercial interests of the North and Northwest. The conversation continuing.

Dr. Dnseu-bury again observed The masses of the people of the South' were not prepared for self-govemment." To that he replied by saying Unfortunately, it was so." During the whole conversation Davis looked careworn, fatigued and dispirited. He complained of suffering severely from neuralgia. Darts. The special Southern correspondent of the London Times, in a letter dated New York, April 15, gives a graphic account of the receipt in that city of the ghastly tidings of the assassination of President Lincoln.

In conclusion, after expressing his too confident belief that there breathes nowhere in the Northern States a partisan so blinded by sectional pasiou or so exasperated against Secessia as to imagine that the execrable crime could be regarded by Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, and the men who share their confidence, otherwise than with unmeasured detestation and poignant regret, the writer says This is not the place nor the moment for attempting to expatiate upon the character of Mr. Davis. But having long occupied a position which afforded peculiar facilities for understanding him, I cannot forbear briefly saying that, be bis faults what they may, the time is not far distant when history will mete out to Mr. Davis that justice which is at present denied to him not only, as is natural, by Northerners, but also by many of his own ignorant and ungrateful countrymen.

Meantime the natural vipdictiveness consequent upon the fearful crime of last night, will be employed to intensify Northern bitterness against Mr. Davis. There is already a disposition to draw a line of demarcation between him and Gen. Lee, which none would resent more than the latter. The advocates of harshness will be fearfully augmented by the crime of last night, against which Mr.

Davis, whose leniency throughout this war has amounted to a weakness and who under terrible provocation hae never' permitted one aet of retaliation. wouJd revslt wittr unutterable honor. MX A ML AND.

THE MOBILE CALAMITY. FURTHER PARTICULARS. THE DAMAGE TO PROPERTY. NAMES Or THE SUFFERERS. tKroBi our Extra of Tbli Morninj The following particulars of the explosion in Mobile wo copy from the Moruiug News of tho 2Gth Various accounts of tho accident aud incidents attendant npon it haveleen htuided ns.

We subjoin them, somewhat condensed, bnt in the main as furnished. We were on the ground within a few minutes after the explosion took place, and the scene would balrle iu its description tho ablest pens. CAVSE OF THE EXPLOSION. Tho truth of the matter as regards the canpe of the accident will never be known, for of course, every one in or near tho building was killed instantly. A man who left the building some ten minutes before tbe explosion took place, is said by rumor to have told of a man named l'at.

striking a metal to light his pipe, being engaged at the time in either tilling or removing powder from some shells stored iu the ordnance depot. Another rumor has it that a shell percussion shell was let fall by some one and burst and thus ignited the balance of the am muni i ion in the place. This is all supposition, and as no one can prove or dispute it, it will ever remain an unsettled question. OS THE Sl'OT IMMEDIATELY. As seon as the explosion was heard, Major Gen.

Granger and Col. repaired to the scene of destruction, where they remained giving directions and seeing them carried out. The General dispatched a messenger to Brig. Gen. Dennis, ordering him to detail all the soldiers in the city and vicinity, and to impress all the men found in the streets to aid in rescuing the wounded and staying the progress of tho tire, and in twenty minutes an efficient body of men were on the ground.

THE LIVING. Prominent in the work of rescuing the poor unfortunates who were buried in the debris of the falling buildings, were, as Ur-ual in cases of imminent danger, our brave sailors and soldiers. We saw sailors rush through fire and falling bricks as though they were proof vgaiust the accidents common to all men, and come out bearing in their arms some poor fellow burned or crushed almost beyond recognition as a human being. Numbers of the batterers were thus rescued before the details ordered by Gen. Granger arrived after which each vied with each other who should brave the dangers of the devouring element.

THE DEAD. We i-aw the bodies of Mr. MeManon, who wus in charge of the carpenter work ot Capt. Ford, A. Q.

and of the purser of the steamer Laura which vessel was lying on the marine ways opposite the city who was killed while sitting at his desk by either a piece of one of the numerous shells which filled the air in that neighborhood, or by a fragment of brick. Mr. McMahon was on one of the steamers near tho Planters' Press on dnty when killed. A sailor was killed by the explosion of a shell while working on the engine of one of the fire companies. IMPOSSIBLE TO RECOGNIZE THE REMAINS.

A number of the bodies received are so burned and mutilated that recognition is impossible. Some ot them are so blackened that it was with difHulty their friends and relatives could identify them, even when not disfigured by mutilation. A HEART-RENDING SCENE. The shrieks of the poor wives, daughters and mothers, as a body would be borne out of the ruins, were heart-rending each expecting to find some loved one's mangled and blackened corpse. Several fainted and were borne away on the stout arms of the tender-hearted soldiers present.

THE NUMBER KILLED. It is estimated that the number killed will reach fully three hundred. When it is taken into consideration that nearly all the workshops, foundries, cotton presses, which covered the vast area destroyed were employing quite a number of men, and from whom soT far no accounts have been received, it wil be seen that our estimate of two hundred will be below the proper figure. A MOTHER'S JOY. A gray-haired venerable lady was weeping broken hearted, over what she supposed to be the remaius of her boy, having, as she thought, recognized him by a ring on one of the fingers of his hand, when her son, powder-burnt acd blackened, walked up toner and raised her up, saying, "Mother, I'm not hurt1" The reaction was too great, and she swooned away.

What was loy to her may bring sadoees to some other loving heart. THE WOUNDED. Among the most severely wounded near the warehouse in which the explosion took place, was James Riley and John Dooley, men engaged in storing cotton in a shed near the Planters' Press. They, with others, were caught nnder the falling roof of the shed and severely bruised and crashed. Dooley had some serious cuts -one on the upper part of the right shoulder, and an-other on the back part of his head.

The others were not so severely injured. John Evelin, who was in charge ol some cotton on the wharf below Planters' Press, bad one of his legs, cut off just above the knee by a shell, aud four men, engaged iu some kind of labor on the same wharf, were all seriously if sot fatally wounded, most of them having their legs and anna broken. CAPT. JOHN FORD, A. A.

Q. M. This officer deserves praise for his uttr disregard of personal safety in going at once to the rescue of the men who were covered with the falling walls and roof of the Planters' Press. Accompanied by Mr. Owen, of thie office, he went where his services eenld be rendered most available in this weik, and they hav the satisfaction of krewtr tha a number of their fellow-men a-te then the'r lives.

Capt. I. imuoediate'y notified the captain wi u.e tugs in his charge to proceed at once to the wharves opposite the scene of the explosion, aud remain ready to offer any aid in tb ir power. HR AVERY AND COOLNESS. Tbere was another captaiu, belonging to the line of the service, who distinguished himself by his eoolimss and daring amid the excitement.

He was with the leaders in the dangerous undertaking to afford suc-C the." entombed sufferers. Wo wish knew tho uiiblc fellow's name, to give iu the credit he so richly deserves. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. The bell on the jrusrdhouse tower rang out an alarm of fire as soon as the deafuing roar of tie explosion hud subsided a little, nd th different engines were taken promptly to near the euo of the oonfla-giaiiuu, but litter getting within two or three blocks of tliw Planters' Press, the fire-' men heard a rumor of i here iug fifteen; tons more ot powder that would explode as six us the iiie ieachet it, aud tbey faltered, aud iiiially turned back, but on being by tho Mayor that such was not the cape, aud that the only danger to be apprehended was from the occasioual bursting of a st as the tire spread, they at once took up their positions and did good work toward extinguishing the flames. 1 he exempt steam engines were brought out and put to work, we understood, by order ot the military authorities.

We should not think, in a case like this, any authority would be required tor this pur pose, and we hope, for the credit of this branch of tbe department, that wo have been misinformed. SINGULAR. Gen. Granger and CoL Shipley made their way into the remains of a building which had stood near the magazine, and found three horses, all alive and kicking, and without a scratch. How they could have escaped being crushed by the walls, and being completely buried, is a mystery.

The General and Col. Shipley brought the animals out and away from danger. THE DA.MAGi: TO PROPERTY No estimate can yet be formed of the amount of damage done tho city iu a pecuniary point of view. We have heard it variously estimated at from rive to ten millions of dollars. That it is nbove fivo aud even not much under ten millions seems the general opinion.

Kight squares of largo and costly buildings wore completely demolished scarcely oue brick left upon another besides tbe immense damage done outfcide of this named space, which places this estimate, seemingly, low enough. THE CUSTOMHOUSE. The windows of the Customhouse on the north and east fronts were completely demolishednot a whole pane remaining. With the exception of some portions of the plastering on the inside of the building being thrown, this was all the damage sustained by this building. THE BATTLE HOUSE.

The following note from Messrs. Nat ring A Duvall, the proprietors, explain the dam aes done to this hotel Battle House, May 25, 18GT. Editor Xews We estimate the damage to the Pattle House at from ten to fifteen thousand dollars, confined principally to breaking of all the sash in the windows on the north side fronting St. Francis street, falling of ceiling iu a few of the rooms, wrenching off of doors, and other slight damages. The walls and roof are not injured, and are in as good condition as before.

Work-nwn have commenced making all necessary repairs, and in a short time the house will be in better condition than ever. The business of the house will not bo disturbed, but due allowance is asked from the euests and public generally for any want of com fort attributable to this unfortunate calam ity. Yours truly, Nahhing. Di'vall Proprietors. THE THEATRE.

Some smashed windows and a portion of the cornice on the north side of tbe building broken off, was the only damnge done to this edifice. THE NEWS OFFICE Shared the fato of all the buildings on Royal street from Conti to the Mobile aud Ohio Railroad Depot, in having windows knocked out. glass strewn in minute particles over the floors, partitions thrown down, etc. This reporter was thrown from his chair, half way across the room, and never ceased rolling until be reached the street by way of a long flight of stars. THE TRIBUNE BUILDING.

This building was made a complete wreck of Inside by the entrance of a piece of iron, weighing about sixty pounds, through the roof. It fell among the material ot the office, smashing things generally. All that prevented it going through the floor of the second story was striking a cabinet of cases, which was too thick for its penetrative powers. This building is situated about 1000 yards from the warehouse where the powder was stored. ROYAL STREET.

The buildings on Royal street did not snffer as much as those on Commerce, Water and Front, bnt the number of doors and windows crushed in exceeds belief. In some instances where doors were fastened nnually strong, the whole frames were driven from the openings, or doors burst from their hinges. ON WATER STREET The loss in property is immense. Ilelow St. Michael street doors and windows suffered most, but above there walls were turn-1 bled about as though built of paper.

A continued wreck meets the eye looking up this street, growing more confused and losing the semblance of buildirjgs entirely as the vision nears the squares nearest where stood the magazine. COMMHKt'E STEEET. The warehouses and cotton sheds which lined the upper portions are now but a mass of mins. Buildings on the corners seemed to suffer most, some of razed to within a few feet of the ground. FRONT STREET.

The various offices and commission houses on Front street sustained comparatively little damage on their river faces. Doors and windows were all smashed and broken in, but beyond this the injury done them was slight. THE AMOUNT OF COTTON DESTROYED. Mayor Slough estimates the amount of cotton destroyed at from 8000 to 10,000 bales, 200 of which belonged to himself and 100 to M. Scheible.

Nearly all the cotton destroyed belonged to private citizens, and was stored in lots of from five to 500 bales. The destruction this cotton will bring pecuniary trouble to a great many persons, as it was their only resource, with no insurance to cover it. The names of the parties losing it will be given as soon as'ascer-tained. Some Government cotton was also burned. DEHTRl'CTIOJI OF WATER CRAFT.

The steamer Col. Cowles, Capt. Tucker, was lying opposite Planters Press, and was torn almost to pieces by tbe shock, and soon after took fire and was completely consumed. The mate tried to move her before she took fire, bnt failed. Capt.

Tockqr badly injured, and two negroes a cabin boy ana fireman miaa'ug, cupposed tobelosc The Kate Dale was entirely destroyed Only of the crew were found to be mis2 sing. Officers ell safe. A schooner loaded for New York, having son passengers on board, among them a gentleman named Baker, formerly connected with this office, was destroyed. No word has been tceived as to the fare of her pasfeiif e's ai.d crew. oN GiivnitNMEUT STREET.
