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 MEXICO. Cortinas, with bis force ot Republicans, still hover around Mat amor as, and has made no further attacks on the town, aud it was not expected he would, bis force being too small.

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 t's re. 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.

( 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.

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. FINANCIAL.
