I IHE TRIAL OF DAVIS
The general impression is that Jet.cr
on Davis will be tried tor treason some
ime daring the coming month, and
that the Chief Justice of the United
States will preside; but there ure various
unauthtnticatetl rumor*, wilh regard d
the particular locality of the expected
trial. One report is thai Carroll Hall,
at Old Point, is being fllted up fbr ihal
purpose; while others say Norfolk will
be the scene of (he closing acts in the
drama of the great rebellion. Richmond
is claimed by some aa tiie proper place,
and we Imve no doubt a Kiiehinond jury
would lm equally as acceptable to the
prisoner's friends as one composed of
the people of Norfolk or Old Point
however, in a trial before tho United
iStatesC.iiirt I lie jurors can betaken from
any j-iirt of the district. We fuel inter
ested in hawing the trial come ottln this
city, as it would be a feather in our
cap, that Blight even eclipse the
.Petersburg " Cockade;" and we be
lieve that he could receive a more mv
partial hearing among our liberal mind
ed people, than in any other city, where
the feelings of the public are more or
less favorable to him. [fan unbiassed
jury can lie found anywhere, we think
it might be selected from among (licipii.
et and justice-loving citizens of Norfolk.
AYe trust, therefore, that we ..hall be
thus highly honored by (he President,
and that our modest bearing in the past
will be rewarded by the .selection of Ibis
ancient and honorable city for the trial
of tiie late Piesidentof the Confederacy,
We can offer sufficient accommodations
for the pin pose—can well bestow the
court, the counsel, tbe witnesses, and
the officers thereof, the members of the
press and the thousands of visitors, who
will doubtless attend the important
proceedings. Oar bote] facilities are ani
. pie and our people are known as the
most liberal ami hospitable in Vir
ginia ; and they would accept it as
a special favor from the authorities, as
well as n mark of the President's confi
dence in their loyalty and patriotism.
AYe have annoyed the government less
than any other ci(y in the Mouth—have
quietly attended fo our own private af
fairs, eschewed politics and forborne to
press our claims upon the attention of
the Executive by holding "jrrent mass
meetings," annoying him for pardons,
and insistiiigthal the government should
give ItsenUraattention to our complain,
ings ami grumblings to the exclusion of
the. equally pressing necessities of be
tween thirty and forty millions of peo
ple dwelling in other portions of this
broad land; although wemuy think that
our twenty thousand population have
more claims upon the attention of tbe
authorities thmi tbe millions dwelling
in less favored lucidities. One thing wo
can promise, and that is a fair trial—
whether we convict or acquit Mr. Da
vis The trial will not, of course,
be a very lengthy one: for on the charge
of treason there will be no witnesses to
examine. Air. Davis will hardly deny
tbe fact, patent to the whole world, that
he has waged war against the United
States Government—that he bus commit
ted tbe overt acts with which he will bo
charged in tbe indictment—and thesa
acts admitted tiie testimony of witnesses
to prove thorn, will be unnecessary. It
will be altogether a wordy contest lie- j
tween the opposing counsel, ami the ar
gumentwillbeboth leuineil and lengthy.
AYe may anticipate the grandest exhibi
ts-- of forensic eloquence ami legal I
learning that tbe woil.l has witnessed
since the trial of Wan en Hastings. The
question of trcaeon will be exhausted I
the law books will bo exbatMted ■ the
Constitution and .State rights will be ex-1
hausted ; precedents will be exhausted • I
the Court will be exhausted; (helawyers I
will exhaust (heir wonderful powers; ]
the preas and the public will beexhauisl
ed ; and if Davis survive all these ex
hausting forces, he will not have much
strength left (<• sutler further exhaust ion
on the scaffold, should such be his doom.
There are persons in the South who
are still foolish enough to think that
slavery may lie revived, and many de
signing politicians, to secure their own
advancement, feetl the people with false
hopes nf a return of their former slave
property. We warn the simple minded
dupes, up,ui whoso credulity these lyiiiir
and deceitful political charlatans would
ride into oflice, f bat none know better
than the men who hold out such pros
pects bo« utterly vain and delusivt.they
are. AYe have heard even in thin city
siieh nonsense as. that "we shall have
all the negroes back again when the
Democrats gain theday." All (lie De
mocrats in the world combined coultl not
return the freed men back to slavery;
and so all _H*_ghtofa revival of the j
worn out institution might as well lie
dismissed. Noniattei whether we think
it the worst or the best condition for
the negro, th,. question has Iweii
settled forever, and there is no
longer any necessily for its discussion.
They have been declared free by the
judgment of the world; and there is no
appeal from that decision. While peo
ple not only injure themselves, but they
seriously compromise the safety and
quiet of the community in which they
dwell, by foolishly threatening the ne- j
tn t-lavery as soon M (lie soldiers ar*
withtlrawn or the Democrats come intc
power. Hue- threats are calculated tn
ruiNe doubts in the minds of the igno
rant blacks, and to lead them to commit
excesses, or to be moody, BUllen, dubious,
and revengeful. It is tbe part of wis
dom to let them be assured of their free
dom and that they will not be molested ;
for we believe such a course would have
the effect of inducing them to settle
down and endeavor to secure a compe
tency by their industry, and they would
thus become good, obedient, and useful
servants, which they will never be so
long as they are uncertain of full pro
tection in person and property. Cease
to thrcuten thcin with the whip ant
with a return to slavery, and try
to rulo them by the persuar,live elo
ipience of kindness.
Pantaloons, of flic HivUmoiul 7Vnifn, in
very severe, after his fashion, oii Mr.
lirceley. He alleges that the 7'rilntiii
company lm* "increased his salary from
$3,000 to a»T,i-W jier niiniini," antl atltls
(lint "the philosophic Horace waxed
vain-ghin'oiis, bought ■ new coat, 00
--ijiiefied with ti hut of fashionable hid
coil:lU-M, lllld {Kit OO peg-top pantaloons
Without tucking them into his boots."
This is a pretty trashy style. Indeed,
the "fashionable liideousness" of this
'peg-top pantaloons"—what, in ths
lamcol sense, docs u )i this mean?—-is
veil unworthy of the fijisy successor of
'.xtra-Itillic Smith in his best mood.

Money seems to be tbe standard of
nanhood in the Jtichmond Tiiihh ollice.
So long as the couuting-rooni till creaks,
I matters not who occupies the editor's
•hair. We found in Mr. l'ollard _ forci
ble and nervous hand a I'oenian worthy
of our steel; in his successor, we have
Ihe coarseness of tbe negro auctioneer,
lombined with the wealth-boasting of a
lieggar recently put on horseback. If the
Timet is successful, as it boastfully
proclaims, we congratulate it; for our
part, we are neither envious of its copiters
nor its kicks. No* shall \vc reproach its
defence of (lie speckled spectators of tho
Canterbury Hall.
The Uiehmond Timet, |_ v classic ar
ticle on tho Weed-Creeley controversy,
stales that " the Democratic editoi's, as a
-Utter of course, improved the occasion
by pummelling the . luckless niiscegenn
tor, and poor (Ireeley, struggling feebly
and most impotenfly against this legioii
of enemies, seems not tohaveafriend,to
| back him, or to sponyv his bloody name
land btat kined eyes." Our Jfi'cliiiioiiil
coteniporary ismuch more fortunate than
Mr. Of——saw. He seems lo have "friends"
\ and when he is cudgelled, kicked, cow
bided aud culled, one of them is at hand,
aud he a Yankee, too, " to sponge his
toody nose and blackened eyes."
The meeting of merchants, for tbe
gauization of the Norfolk Board of
Ude, will assemble to-morrow evening.
It is hoped that there will tie v large at-
I tendance, aud that wisdom may mark
the proceedings. Every business man
is interested in the advancement of the
Py, and, in order to multiply our re
jrees, there must Vie concert of action
d a union of capital.

One of tbe orators at the late lickspit
tle meeting iv Richmond, sent for a
newspaper man, who had criticised the
proceedings aud exposed their shain
eharacter. The correspondent respond
ed, upon learning the nature of the ora
tor's business, that if the great lion
wanted to roar, he could do so iv one of
tbe ante-chambers of the capital. The
Lion did not .roar.
Mr. Keily, of Petersburg, has with
drawn his name from the list of candi
dates for Congress in this District. This
leaves a clear field to Mr. L. H. Chand
ler, who now seems to be the only gen
tleman before the people. Mr. Keily
served during (he war as a lieutenant in
the 12th Virginia regiment, and declines
to run for Congress on the ground of in
eligibility.

Important Letter from the President
On the 19th ult., Governor Sharkey,
of Mississippi, issued a Proclamation,
providing for the organization of a mil
itary force iv each county of that Htate,
to be composed of citizens. On the 24th,
Major General Slocuui, commanding
the Department, promulgated an order,
overruling the proclamation, and direct
ing the arrest of all persons who should
attempt to carry it into execution.—ln
his order General Slocuin says :
" The Provisional Governor has
thought proper, without consultation
with the department commander, or
with any other olticer of the United
States on duty here, to organize and
arm a force in every county, urging the ,
'young men of the"State, who have too
distinguished themselves for gallantry,'
to respond promptly to his call, mean
ing thereby that class of men who have
as yet scarcely laid down the urins with
which they have been opposing our
liovernnient. Such force, it organized
« proposed, is to he independent of the
litary authority now present, and su
|ierior in strength tothe United State*,
forces now on duty in the Stale. To |x>r
nlit the young men, who have so distin
guished themselves, to lie arnied and or
ganized independently of the United
Slates miliary ofltceraon duty here, and
to allow them to operate in counties now
garrisoned by colored troops, filled, as
many of these men arc, not only witli
prejudice against these troops, timl

Coveritnient itself, would bring about a

fold degree I he ditlicultics thut now besef
the people." I
The matter was referred to Washing
ton, and the President set aside the or
der of General Sloeum and sustained the
action of Governor Sharkey. The fol
lowing is an extract from his letter on
the subject :
"It is believed there can be organized
in each county a force of citizen militia
lo preserve order and en force the civil
authorities of the Stale, ami of the
United Stales, which would enable the
Federal I lovernnient lo reduce the army
and withdraw, to a great extent, the
forces from the State, thereby reducing
the enormous expenses of the govern
ment.
"If there was any danger from an or
ganization of tlieeii izens for the purposes
indicated, the military are there to sup
press on the lirst appearance, any move
insurrectionary in its character. One
grrat object is lo induce the people to
come forward in defence of the Slatcand
and Federal liovcriimcnl.s. General
Washing—in declared that, the people, ot
the militia, whs Ihe nrm of the Constitu
tion, or Ihe arm of Ihe United Stales,ami
as soon as it is practicable, the original
I design of the government should be re-
I smiled under Use principles of tiie threat
/ —barter offrotntons ___**—d .i..»ii in the
people by the founder of the Uepublie.
i'he people must lie trusted with their
government, and if trusted, my opinion
is that they will act in good faith and
restore their former constitutional rela
tions with all the States composing tin
Union. Tbe main object of Major Gen
eral Carl Schurz's mission to the South
was to aid, as much as practicable, it
carrying out the policy adopted by the
government for restoring the States to
their former relations with the Fedora
Government. It is hoped ihat such ai.
bus been given. The proclamation nu
thorizing the restoration of State gov
eminent requires (he military to aid the
Provisional Governor in the perform
ance of his duties as prescribed in tin
proclamation, and iv no manner to in.
terfere or throw impediments in the way
of the consummation of the object of his
appointment, at least without advising
the government of the intended inter
ference. "Ani.rkw Johnson."
BJ
The Hichmoud Whig, commenting on
this order, says:
We rejoice to infer from this letter
that the days of military rule are
numbered. It has been a long time
since we have beard language so grate
ful to our ears as President John
son's words: The people must be. trust
ed with their government, and if trust
ed ruy opinion is that they trill act
in tjood faith and rettort their former
constitutional relations with all the States
tomposiiuj the fiiitm. ' These words
are the death-warrant of the rule of the
sword. Let the friends of self-govern.
nient and the devotees of liberty re
joice—and let a generous aud grateful
people see lo it that the President shall
•ever have cause to regret the confidence
ie so nobly reposes iv them,

lnvitatiou from the People of Richmond to
the President and his Cabinet.
TO THE CITIZENS OF Rl< HMOXII.
As one of the committee appointed by
a mass meeting, held on the Capitol
Square, for the purpose of inviting the
President of the United States and his
Cabinet, to visit this city and partake of
its hospitalities, I proceeded to Wash
ington on Saturday, the 2d instant, and
on the Monday morning following call
ed at the Department of State on that
patriot nnd greatest of statesmen, the
Honorable William H. Seward. Marred
and scarred as lv; was by the assassin's
knife, he received me in" the most cor
dial and Battering manner, and, after
reading his invitation, desired me to
accompany him the next day at twelve
o clock to he introduced to the President
and Cabinet. To this I readily acceded.
My reception by them was in the high
est degree cordial and dignified. My
interview with the President Waa ne
cessarily short, but highly gratifying,
as be regarded me as coming to him
with a heart true (o the South and my
wboe country, representing those of
similar feelings.
The invitation with which I was
charged gave him manifest pleasure,
and ho expressed both v desire and in
tention to visit Virginia, as also his
native good old North Slate, when the
le* S_° hi " l JUblic *«**«■ will admit

From my interview with the President
I drew the most cheering auguries

South will Audio him a friend and pro

heart the terms of reconstruction ottered
With one voice-aud one heart we will

Jeff. Davis.
The correspondent of the Philadelphia
liii/iiirt r says:
Jeff, is to live ill a casemate uo longer
hut is to have a light and airy room
twenty loot square, with one large win
(low looking out on the promcnadi
ground of the foil. This change in tin
quarters of tl—i arch-traitor is belni
made after mat lire deliberation, it ha
been a subject, of correspondence bet weei
Major (ieiicr.'tl Miles ami the War De
p.iiliiienf for several days. With tin
intense sultry weather of September tin
casemate in which Davis has been hi!lt
erto confined has become very damp, tin
condensed vapor trii-kltiitr fiiim wall am
ceiling. I n this condition the ciisemati
certain ly became "daiiipand unheal I hy."
Genera! Miles and l>r. Craven at unci
laid the state of the case before the War
Department, ami received prompt per
mission to confine the arch-traitor in
healthy and comfortable quarters. One
of the most comfortable rooms in the
I fortress has been chosen.
Ah yet, Davis knows nothing of the
pleasant change of prisons iv store for
Dim. Whilst taking his walk this after
noon on the parapet- and along the
shaded gravel walks of the fortress, the
furniture of the casemate lately occupied
by him will he removed to the room as
signed to his future use, in Carroll Hall,
and at tho conclusion of his diurnal
walk this P. AI., Jefferson will he con
ducted to the second story of Carroll
Hall, southeast room.
Carrol Hall is an oblong brick build
ing, of two stories ami an attic in
height. It is painted a bright yellow.
Its peaked roof and tall chimneys am
visible above the ramparts of tho fort,
and the intensely curious may now sen
without a pass or military permit the
roof trader which Jed. Havis is held in
duress.
The Hall was .built with the fortress
as a residence for officers of the garri
son. Neatly every one of.the officers
lof the regular army, before the rebel
lion, have nt one or another time re
sided under the roof of Carrol Hall.—
Grant once lived here; then he was a
lieutenant of artillery. So did Tecum
seh Sherman when be was a captain of
infantry ; Dave Hunter and Stniieinan,
anil Itobert K. Dee and Joseph K. John
son. All have spent many hours under
tthe roof of Carrol Hall.
AxOii'ici-utiSHOT.—A short time ago
a United States lieutenant, in command
of the guard at Bermuda Hundreds,
went to Presque Isle, on James rivor,
and Informed Mr. Watklnsthal he must
vacate his fat Iter's estate, as an order bad
been issued for its sale. The ofiiecr,
having delivered Ihe order, left, where
upon Mr. Watklna stationed him—all in
a corn-field, whicli he reached by a
short cut, and shot him with a double
barrelled gun. Watkins was shortly af
terwards arrested tit his house by a guard I
ami taken before the proper military I
olllcers. Our informant could not learn
what disposition had been made of him.

nnd Main streets, opposite the Spots
wood Hotel, Richmond, have taken a
likeness of (iovernor Peirpoint, of which,
the Ui public says, it has "never seen
any achievement of artistic genius in
thai profession which surpassed it. Jt
is the man himself, faultless in its won
derful fidelity, and executed in every
particular in a style that defies criti
cism."
——a*j
We suspect thatthenewspaperswhieh
say that Miles Taylor, of New Orleans,
is here after a pardon, are very wide of
the mark. Por what shall he be par
doned. He has been actively engaged
for three years past in minding his own
business—which happens to be practis
ing law—and we presume he is doing so
now.
An amusing tale is circulating of a
shoddy Miss, who bathed in a mineral
spring atone of the most famous sum
mer resorts, thinking that, as at New
port, it was the right tldngtodo. AVhen
the drinkers came lo _HTffr-rllg to im
bibe, the sight of her floundering in tho
water, with her pet dog, etc., creuted
some consternation.
