TRIAL or JEfT. DAVIS.
Tiie Herald’s Washington special says its
believe 1 there is an unwillingness on the
part of a portioned the Cabinet to having
Jeff. Davis tried for treason. Others assert
that the President persists in having him
brought before a civil tribunal.
Chief Justice Chase is expected in a few
days, for consultation as to'time and place
for trial. The ablest counsel is being con
sulted'ou the subject. There is a fixed de-
termfnation on tiie pari of the President,
that there shall be an immediate fair trial
by jury ot countrymen for high treason. It
may, in addition, be confidently -asserted
that the President has determined, as soon
as practicable, to withdraw the orders sus
pending the privilege of Habeas Corpus, and
dispense with military courts.

FROM TEXAS.
New O.leans. Aug. 1C —Texas advices
say that Gen. Merritt with nine thousand
cavalry recently at Auslin, is uow r on route
tor the Rio Grande. The reb 1 General
Slaughter publishes a letter fully (xculpa-
nog General Mejia aud Imperial Ibices frt-m
'charges of assisting the Qoufederates, aud
says not a litla or musket ever crossed tbe
Rio Grande, or otherwise entered the Con
federacy through the Imperial lines. Four
pieces of artillery beiug offered, Mejia was
called upon to make arrangement* to get
th. m info Texas. He unhesitatingly re
plied that he would take effective steps to
maintain neutrality. The artillery, conse
quently, was not purchased. The reported
defection ot Gen. Canales and sou from tne
Liberals caused the imprisonment of the_
latter by the Republican Government.
Travel on the Rio Grande is now consul
cred safe.
The Times’ Washington special says the
secesh aristocracy in the neighborhood ot
14 h and Massachusetts Avenues are in
great trouble about a colored school that
ims been established irr that vicinity, and
beseech Utu. Howard to remove it, alleg-
ii; * that it will depreciate the value o: real

Worfz' trial may cot b gin for a week.—
The prosecution not fully ready—new* evi
dence constantly coming in, which may
change the charges and specifications.
EARTHQUAKE.
Memphis, Aug. 17.—The shock ot an
earthquake was felt here this morning;
shaking buildings, tumbling down chim
neys, and upsettmg loose articles, etc The
large Iron Safe establishment was thrown
over. It was more plainly felt at Holly
Springs and LaGrange. It lasted about ten
seconds. No damage done so far as known.
TriE KETCHUM SWINDLE.
New York, Aug. 18.—The Times says of
the Ketehum lorgefy:
The effect upon Ketehum, Son & Co , as
developed yesterday, is disastrous. What
it will be eveulually, when the storm of ex
citement has passed, is another question.
Thus far the cost sums up thus: First, they
have lost in State sureties between $200,'
000 and $300,000; second, they have sus
pended payment and all operations; third,
they have assigned their property to P. C.
Calhoun, President of the .Tenth National
Bank, and Bellenet, a former partner of
Morris Ketehum, Jr., for tbe benefit of cred'
itors; fourth, the balances due customers,
mainly New England banks, amount to the
tremendous sum of $3,500,000; fifth, they 7
have published a remarkable card, iu which
they have given the public an idea of their
business, which differs materially from the
idea previously entertained. It has been
tiutbfully stated that Charles Graham & Co.
paid, ou presentation, $285,000 of the forged
gold checks on Monday, and that Edward
Ketehum gave them on that morning $250-
000 to do it with. The public received this
transaction with some distrust.
We deem it due to the honor of Mr. Gra
ham to record the facts as drawn from him
in a conversation yesterday afternoon at 1
o’clock,-on Wall street:
“Mr. Graham, you paid $285,000 on
these forged checks on Monday. We knew
that Edward Ketehum drew a cheek for
$300,000 before he went off. Did he give
you the money to pay those checks with ?”
Mr. Graham—“He gave tne no money
but as was his constant custom. He gave
me a check with which to meet his obliga
tions. The check was for $250,000. I de
posited it, and drew against it. But what
do yon think of the result? Morris Ketch-
mn refuses to honor the check, aud I find it
thrqwn out by his bank, returned to my
bank, and I am notified of the overdrawing
of his account to that amount. It is a most
extraordinary ani cruel business. The
check was drawn by Morris Ketehum, Son
A- Co., before they suspended, was received
by me in good faith, deposited in bank,
drawn against, and passed to the bank
where Ketehum, Son & Co. deal. It seems
rather hard that I should have to suffer to
this extent, in addition to what I have al
ready borne.”
The World says the total loss by Ketch.-
urn’s forging will amount to four millions.
STEAMBOAT COLLISION.
New Orleans, Aug. 17.—The steamer Ma-
tanzas collided with the steamer Carlo.uta,
opposite the oily. The latter sunk,supposed
to be a total loss. No lives lost. The Ma-
tanzas is uninjured.
THE LATE EARTHQUAKE.
Jackson, August 17.—The Times’ special
says:
The effects of the earthquake were sensi
bly fell about 9 o'clock this morning, at
Memphis, LaGrange, Holly Springs, Ox-
foid, and Grenada. At Memphis the shock
>vas severe enough to cause the people to
run out of their houses.
FROM MEXICO.
Matamoras, Aug. 5.—The Monitor con
tains news of several defeats ot the Liberals
near San Luis and Puebla. Small bodies
engaged. Results unimportant. Many exs
iled Confederates in Mexico are becoming
naturalized citizens of the Empire.
THE WERTZ TRIAL—AN OVERLAND EXPEDI
TION.
New York, Aug. 13.—The Times’- Wash
ington special says :
The court for the trial of Wertz is being
rapidly reconstructed, and more rank put
into it. Three Major Generals will be added,
viz: Major General Lew. Wallace is Presi
dent ot Court, and Brevet Major General
Jno. W. Geary and G. Mott. . Letters from
soldiers in all parts of the country, who
have suffered imprisonment and toitureat
Andersonville, still pour in upon the Judge
Advocate, offering to testify to all manner
of acts of cruelty.
The Quartermaster General ha3 ordered
that 500 six mule teams be at once organ
ized for an overland march from this city to
Leavenworth, Kansas, They will go out
in charge of officers of the Quartermaster’s
Department, in two detachments, ot 250
Teams each, with every equipment necessa
ry to make this march fully equal to Gen.
Sherman’s march from Chattanooga to Ral
eigh.
THE SITUATION IN SPAIN
New York, Aug. 13.— The Hei Jd’s Paris
correspondent contains an important state
ment respecting political affairs in Spain.
The Queen and her Prime Ministers are not
at all on good terms. A strong Republican
party leeling exists among the officers of the
urinv, and a revolution may be considered
as imminent.
DISSATL-FACTION AMONG TROOP. IN VIR
GINIA.
New York, August 18.—The Tiibuat’s
Washington sptcial says :
‘f he a xisteuce of considerable dissatisfac
tion among-the troops in the Department of
Virginia, in regard to their retention in ser
vice, has rendered an order from Gen, Terry
on the subject necessary. Many men had
enlisted far the war, and now that it is vir
tually ended, they are justly entitled to a
discharge from the service. While General
Terry terms “during the war’’ as being
while necessity for military force continuesy
aud this necessity will coutiuue to exist till
every State receutly in rebellion returns to
its former relationship aud allegiance to the
Federal Union.
While Gen. Terry appears proud c f his
command, not by any means desirous to
sully their well earned reputation, >el he
also reminds them of the existence of mili
tary law, and gives them to understand that
the crimes of desertion and insubordination
will be severely 7 punished, the same as if the
troops were stilt engaged iu active cam
paign.
WASHINGTON ITEMS
New York, Aug. 13—The Post’s special
ssys:
A Cabinet session was held to day and"
only Secretary SowarTand Attorney Gen
eral Speed were absent.
Collector Webster, at Baltimore, has thus
far appointed discharged soldiers to vacant
places in the custom house in that city. .
Contract to convert Ford’s theatre iato a
fire proof building for rebel archives has
been awarded to Richard Danlay, ot Brook
lyn, at $28,009.
Chiel Justice Chis; has returned to Wash
ington. r
President J-hnson.—The New York
Herald has the following about matters in
Washington:
It is stated in our Washington despatches
that the Cabinet meeting held" oh Friday
was characterized by a good deal of hostili
ty on the part of some of its members to the
policy of the President. We have no doubt
that this is true. Mr. Johnson is smrohnd-
ed by.a hostile cabal at Washington. In
tLe first place, he has radicals in his Cabi
net. Washington is filled with copperheads
and radicals—the former few, but mischiev
ous, and the latter iu league to obstruct all
his measures for reconstruction. His policy-
is sound, and it is heartily endorsed by the
people of all parties. It is the demagogues
aud Jacobins only who oppose it. The ad
herents of Chase and his obstructive schemes
are in the Custom Houses aud the lnternal
Revenue Department, a sworn band, thwart
ing the measuHes which the President has
so wisely designed for the settlement of the
country.
The South is acting well; its people are
exhibiting every desire to render due fealty
to the government. Railroads are being
rebuilt, aud commerce is gradually return
ing into its old channels. There is nothing
to prevent a complete reconstruction of af
fairs except the partisan intrigues of the
very set of men upon whom the President
ought to rail v for suppor ; namely: his Cab
inet counsellors and h ; s office holders. It is
clearly, tbeu his duty to himself and the
aountry, under these circumstances, to make
a change iu his Cabinet, aud to clear out all
the custom houses and Internal Revenue
Denartmenh
The good disposition of the Southern peo
ple is interfered with by military despotism
at the elections in the border States; and
this is one of tbe plans which the radicals
have devised to nullify the conciliatory but
firm policy of President Johnson. If the
President is not very careful now he will
find an organized opposition in the next
Congress, which will be very difficult to
overcome. He lives in an atmosphere of
intrigue and treachery, and if he is wise he
will at once remodel his Cabinet and sweep
oat all the traitors from the custom houses
and the. Internal Revenue Department.
These are now the only dangerous enemies
to the peace of the country. The people
are entirely satisfied with Mr. Johnson’s
policy, and they will applaud any steps
whieh he may take to carry it out to a suc
cessful issue. Lot him then begin by weed*
ing the radicals out of the Cabinet.
Hon. A. H. Stephens The Macon Tel
egraph says:
A citizen of this State, who ha3 spent some
weeks in sevetal of the n.*rih« ru cities, and
enjoyed an opportunity of ascertaining pub
lie feeling with regard to Mr. S opiums, ad
vises us that Mr. S is almost universally
sympathised with in that secli u. He baa
no enemies, but his friends are innumerable;
and our informant thinks that, were the
President inclined to the contrary, lie would
scarcely des re to assume ! he responsib.lity
of refusing a lull pardon to the great states
man of Georgia, tor the reason that the peo
ple of both sections are almost unanimous
in their friendship towards him.
A few days ago the health of Mr. S. was
good—better than has been reported ia the
South. He is but little restricted in exer
cise, and certainly not »n diet. His friends
may soon expect him to.arrive at horn;.
<#«••#>
A Washington paper says of the Southern
people:
The admirable'temper of the South is at*
trading general attention and sympathy. To
be sure there are exetp’ioual cas a—inev
itably there at’e such—but the geueral tone
of the S.mth is magnanimous and loyal.—
A few of the leading rqbels have fled into
M exico, where it is alleged they are ming
ling with the belligerents ou either side, and
tbe late Gen. B cckinridge has got to Eu
rope ; but the very large majority of these
remain in the country aud f dlow the h gh
examples of their m >st popular men in so
liciting the pardon of the Presided!, and
they declare their reso’ve to conform to the -
amnesty oath in spirit as in letter.—
A Beautiful Idea -Away am mg the
Alleghanies there is a springy so small that
a single ox could drain it dry on a summer’s
day. If steals its unob’ruoive way among
the hills tiil it .-pnsad-t out into the beautiful
Ohio. Thence it s'retches away a thousand
imlef; on its banks more than a huadr d
vi'lrg s at d cities, and uiauy thousand cul
tivated fauna and bearing on its bosom more
than halt a thousand s eamboats. Then
joining the Mississippi, U s retches away
some iwelye hundred miles more, till it
falls into the great emblem of eternity. It
is one of the great tribu'ariea of tilt ocean,
which, obedient only to God, shall roll and
roar till the angel with one foot on the sea
and the other on the laud, shall lift up bis
hand to heaven and swear that tim : shall
be no l inger. S?> with moral infldonee. It
is a rid, a rivulet, an ocean, boundless and
fathomless as eternity.
The Salem Republican tells ab >ut a
farmer who ifl -rcd a lot of brooms to a
store keeper n«.t a huudred miles from that
place. Storekeeper would give a shilling
apiece farmer wauls twenty cents. Store
keeper shows some excellent brooms on
hand, which he says he is retailing at
twelve and a half cents—an enormous fib.
Farmer won’t come down ; but at length a
compromise is made; 3tore keeper agreeing

Tuesday, August 23d, 1SS0. (
During the week ending ye3t. rday the cotton market
ha3 been dull and drooping, with few transactions.—
Prices have ranged from 25 to 31 c-nts for small lots from
the country, no large sales taking place. The following
quotations exhibit the different grades and prices:
Ordinary, 22 cents, j Low Middling ... 25cents.
Middling, 23 “ | Goon .Middling,.. .22 “
On yesterday morning the feeling was more buoyan t,
with light lots offering. Dealers inform us that the bad
conditi n in which cotton Is*brought to market detracts
somewhat from its valuation. Planters would consult
their interests ty the use qf better bagging and rope be
fore offering their cotton for sale.
Making the power thou mad’st mine
For using, by the use, divine.
I do not ask t v at there may flow
A light about me from the skies,
• For knowledge that doth knowledge knowy
For wisdom that la not too wise
To see all things good and fair,
Thy love attested ia my yrayer.
I do not ask that I may. dwell
In pleasures all apart from pain;
The medicine that maketh well
The sick and ruined soul again ;
The faith that setteth free from doubt,
-Lo d, help me search and And thee out.
New Method of Curing Meats.—They
are experimenting in ITiiladtlphia upon a
process for “curing” meats in twenty min
utes. The method adopted is simply that,
after the animal is deprived of life, tbe heart
ia removed. A tube is then applied to the
main artery and the salt or sweet pickle ia.
infused into every part of the muscle by the
machine that now takes the place of the
heart. Nature points out tbe way to make
the infiltration complete, and in no other
manner can the result be so effectually at
tained. Ot course, another revolution is at
band. Tbe process will meet with oppoBi-.
tion, but the scientific method will be apt to
succeed. We live in an age of progress, and
if by the new process, food can be made
cheaper by fifty per cent, than it is at pres
ent, the population will speedily become fa
miliar with the word infiltration, and regard
the projector as a benefactor.
Making History.—General Grant and
General Lee are bt>th writing histories ot
their campaigus. The great chieftains will
make valuable books, for they are men of
veracity, alike free from braggardism, and
their materials are of the very highest inter
est. General Lee is certainly the more ac
complished writer of the two, but, write
skillfully as he may, he will have to close
his story with an account of the greatest
surrender ol modern times.—Louisville Jour.
Col. A. P. Wetter, late of the Rebel
army, has gone to Germany to make ar
rangements for a great emigration move
ment to Southern Georgia. It is intended
to sell or tease land to these immigrants at
their option.

at vety small cost, waa tbe scutce of l4rge profits tor

The whole Mountain Is oompoied of stra’a, and qu u

The supply could not b exhausted by hosts of labor
