Letcher and the members of the Advisory Council, members of the City Council, Mayor Mayo, Thos. H. Wynne, Esq., of the House o, Esq., of the Spotswood Hotel, and was drawn towards that elegant "traveler's rest," by four splendid bays, His Excellency Gov. Letcher, Mayor Mayo, and Mr. Hoeninger, being seated with the President. His progress through the streets was marked wih brief, were to the point, and convinced every one who heard them that Jefferson Davis was the man for the occasion. Gov. Letcher then welcomed our National ruler to its Metropolis, and was followed by Col. Wigfall, who proves himself on all occasiy but most acceptably in conclusion, when the crowd slowly dispersed. The whole party, including President Davis, Gov. Letcher, Mayor Mayo, Cels. Davis and Wigfall, and others, then sat down to a capital breakfast, gotten up in the peculiarly t

ning out of the Penitentiary some twenty or thirty of the unfortunate creatures during his four years of service as Chief Executive. We thought he did right, and would have been equally right, if not more so, if he had let out a few more than he did. Unless the Penitentiary buildings are enlarged at no distant day, (of which at present there seems not to be the slightest chance) the requirements of the occasion will be such as to demand a full and free use of the Executive prerogative by Gov. Letcher. The following prisoners were released on yesterday: Alonzo C. Turner, sent by Lynchburg Circuit Court in 1857, for 18 years, for murder in the 2nd degree; Bartholomew Maloney, sent in 1852 by the Circuit Court of Augusta county for 40 years, as principal and aider and abettor in the commission of a rape. He was convicted in 10 cases, 4 years each; Frank Green, free negro, sent for 5 years by Middlesex County Court, for larceny. His time would have been out to-day. Nathaniel M. Du

who is charged with having run off two negro slaves, the property of Mrs. Susannah Mills, wife of Andrew O. Mills some time in March last, and selling the same in Memphis, Tennessee. The prisoner was deposited in the cage last night for safe keeping. When he was first arrested in Tennessee, the Marshal started with him for Virginia without ironing him. Davis gave him the slip, and fled to Tallahatchie county, Mississippi, where he was discovered and re-arrested. He was surrendered on the requisition of Governor Letcher. The Marshal was accompanied thither by W. B. Marshall, Captain of one of the Mississippi volunteer companies. The prisoner, Davis, is represented to be a cute fellow, "up to snuff" generally, and in swindling particularly. He, however, tells the Marshal that the negroes which he is accused of stealing were sold by Andrew Mills to one Lunsford, who gave them to him to dispose of. The truth of the story will be found out when the Court takes the case in hand.
