DESPATCHES TO THE ASSOCIATED PEKSS.’
... This should not be so. The Presi
a higher duty to humanity, to the
P‘:.y on of the nineteenth century, than
,'. 0 a remorseless and white-livered
'^r revenge on the part of those who
,-.r since parted with every emotion
r f , fT ^ tw the human race above that of
r p ;e creation. We believe he has
r , c , n icientiou'*ly toward Mr. Davis; that
| vji done what he believed, under all the
f fiances of the case, to bo safest and
r. pm matters have changed of late, and
r . r - cation of his former policy toward
r* ^ u -:rious captive now in his hands, must
“ujwa him the world’s condemnation,
.j: is dictated by no public necessity and
to sound Christian morality. The
Kent of the right-thinking men of all
would sustain him in the immediate
* 0 f }ir. Davis, yet he hesitates to pay
f, t ribote to public opinion and to the en-
| -htentd civilization of the age. In this he
;‘ kins a sad mistake, sad for his own
Ltation and the revival of that harmony
r '. M bis countrymen which he professes so
,;o desire.
[rormorc than twelve long, weary monthshas
Davis pined and languished in a Federal
llun.-eon. a prisoner of State, who, in all bis
Llicv ** the head of a belligerent nation,
ulfsJtiv conformed to the usages of civil-
1 warfare, and insisted upon the practice of
Bcacvand humanity towards all prisoners
, fell into his hands. His crime, accord-
, , 0 .jo President’s opinion as expressed in
iiCate <jvech to the Union Fair at Wasliing-
n, toweftr “nefarious,” was tho result of a
u j.jpprchension” of his rights as an Ameri-
l. 1b oitijen. No man, with such a motive, can
L hda a criminal, and yet no felon in the
I;, tor y cf America jurisprudence has been
atjected to more rigid, prostrating and heart-
braking treatment than Mr. Davis.
L has not only suffered for more
a year all tho horrors of soli-
conhucment and separation from his
iilj and people, but the poor right of n
kill under the laws which he is alleged to
live offended, has been denied him. He has
Ur been ready to face the Courts and place
JiU conduct on trial before a jury of the coun
try, but not even this privilege, guaranteed
n the vilest criminal, has been allowed him.
Even at this late day, when a court' of com
ment jurisdiction has met, found & true bill
' indictment against him, his counsel tra-
Istimrrd their readiness to proceed with the
avtttigation, and the Government moved for
(farther time, he is still incarcerated, the con-
l-titutional right of a “speedy trial” denied
|iim, and most earnest petitions that ho be
et at liberty, on bail or parole, disregarded
Further of Mr. Davis’ Case.
Washington, June 11.—Mr. Shea, counsel
of Jefferson Davis, made a motion to-day be
fore Judge Underwood, in Chambers, in or
der to test the jurisdiction of the Courts in
Virginia, involving the power to hold the
prisoner .to bail, it being a judicial question
with which the President has nothing to do.
Judge Underwood expressed the opinion,
which has always been insisted on by Chief
Justice Chase, that so long as martial law, or
military surveillance, was enforced in Vir
ginia, the Courts were a mere adjunct and to
be used in aid of the military power. Judge
Underwood declines issuing a writ of habeas
corpus to bring the prisoner before his court
until he shall have received from the Presi
dent a relinquishment of tho accused to the
civil authorities, Mr. Davis being now a pris
oner of war.
Judge Underwood reduced bis opinion to
writing, which was delivered to '.no Presi
dent by Mr. O’Connor. AH action in the
premises is suspended until farther orders
Irom Government. It is stated, on tho nu
tliority of one of the counsel, that no applica
tion for bail was made to Justice Chase. At
torney General Speed. Chas. O'Connor and
ex-Governor Pratt were among those present
in Judge Underwood’s chambers to-day.
Within the last few days 3Ir. Davis’ friends,
professional and otherwise, have had free ad
mission to him. t
The passage of the resolution by the House
to-day, declaring that in its opinion Mr. Da
vis should be kept in custody until tried by
law, was suspennduced by an apprehension
thai he would be bailed. The rules were sus
pended for the purpose of passing the reso
lution.

FURTHER BY THE HIBERNIAN.
I New York, June 10.—General Beauregard
visited the Liverpool Exchange, when his
presence becoming known, great interest was
excited and the news room rapidly filled. He
was applauded on leaving and considerable
numbers of people followed him through the
streets.
The Cholera has entirely disappeared from
Liverpool.
The London Herald says the Chilian min

The British Government is said to have of
fended both belligerents. Spain is incensed
at Mr. Lnynrd’s language, and Chili is indig
nant at being left in the lurch at the eleventh
hour.
Finale of the Fenian Invasion.
New York, June 11.—The Fenian invasion
terminated in a fight about eight miles from
St. Armand.
A brigade of British regulars charged up
on a small portion of Spear’s army that had
remained behind, and captured sixteen pris
oners. Some of the Fenians were killed, but
how many is not known.
This fight took place almost on the boun
dary line, across which the Fenians were
compelled to retreat; the English, however,
had no idea of stopping on account of the
boundary, and they charged forward across
the line, firing upon the retreating bond of
Fenians. They also made some captures on
American soil. This affair has been reported
to Gen. Meade, who is at present engaged in
investigating it
Lf policy on his part is one that he will feel
I d the future. There is not a right-minded
Isouthcm man that docs not in his heart con
demn it. ami especially since tlic report of the
Jiunjcon deputed l»y the President himself,

They consider that Mr. Davis has been
Irroellr dealt with, that his punishment

■they can no longer look with approval upon

luaent of Congress and a portion of the
I northern people that this prosecution and
I physical torture should be kept up even

I ardly and shocking that all mankind must
I tsnd aghast at the fiendish spectacle. Itia
I sot one that the President of a great nation

I Johnson shall appreciate this fact in its just
brings upon himself, the better will it be for

Tlie Crops.
. TEXAS.
The Brenham Inquirer says:
The prospects for crops ia this county, so
far as we have been able to Ieam, continues
somewhat promising. Corn thit has been
cultivated, now in tassel, promites an abun
dant yield. Cotton cannot be reported as
promising a heavy yield, gercrally. The
S eat difficulty of inducing fretdmen to la
ir, is the common complaint both in this
and Fayette counties. We have seen a num
her of large fields of cotton literally choked
by grass and weeds, that can hardly be re
deemed. The warm weatbei, it seems, is not
-—contrary to the usual ampunccment—the
the glory of the negro. He leeks the shade
and shirks that service he hai contracted to
perform. Yet where cotton bus been worked,
it presents quite a flattering picspect.
Daniel Pratt, of Prattsville, Ala., who has
just returned from a trip through Texas, says
•the general impression among the fanners in
that State is, that not more than half a crop
of cotton will be made.
The Galveston News says:
We learn that cotton is generally knee high,
but in many instances the gras and weeds are
still higher. Corn is said to be generally in
silk, and is probably too far advanced to be
seriously injured by the grass.
The Houston Telegraph advises Texan
planters to gather every pound of cotton pos
sible, as the crop has failed in other States.
In Grimes county the cotton might do well
if the freedmen would clear out the grass ex
peditiously. Corn is fair.
The Waco Register says:
The wheat crop in many places has been
seriously injured by the recent floods, and in
some totally ruined; the rust, too, has done
its work to some extent, but in most instances
the crop was in’ such an advanced stage of
maturity before the appearance of this blight,
that its effects will not be very seriously felt.
Cotton and corn are promising, though far
mers complain very much of the “grass and
weeds.”
In Colin county great damage was done by
the rain.
The Dallas Herald says that the wheat crop
will not be materially damaged by the rust,
and that the harvest will commence during
the present week, May 28.
The Houston Star says: Accounts from the
wheat regions are flattering; though some
what injured by rust, the crop will be largely
over an average one.
A gentleman who had made a trip through
Marshall reports that the prospect is bad on
the bottom lands, the Trinity River overflow
having swept away eveiything.
The San Antonio Herald says:
All our Texas papers are speaking in glow
ing terms of the brilliait prospects for the
crops this season. From what we can learn
of our country friends, W3 think this vicinity
will not be behind any portion of the State
in its yield this year. We have had plenty of
rain, and all of our farmcB are in the highest
spirits.
TENNESSEE.
Crops in Tennessee are backward. Wheat

heretofore passed the House, and was amend

representation and repudiation of the Confed

the prospect for an abundarjt yield of com

■ New York, June ft.—The Tribune’s’ spe
cial from Molone to day says there is little
excitement there. There are 2,200 Fenians
and 200 regulars in Molone. During the in
terview between Gen. Meade and Gens. Mur
phy and Hefl'eman, the latter complained of
the interference of tlic United States Govern
ment, and said we have been lured on by the
Cabinet and used for the purposes of 3ir. Se
ward. They encouraged us on to this thing.
We bought our rifles from your arsenals, and
were given to understand that you would not
interfere. They added, this tiling is not dead
yet; we will succeed; we have our orders
from Gen. Sweeney, and wc can and will per
form them; if we get anna we wilfcross into
Canada; we shall fight the regulate of the
United States if they oppose us.
Gen. Meade replied: I have got orders, too,
and I shall fight you to entorce the neutrality
laws.
New York, June 9.—A special to the Tri
bune from East Hygate, this noon, says r- A
fight is imminent between the Fenians and
British regulars, between the boundary line
and Pigeon Hill. Appearances indicate (hat
the British troops will surround the Fenians.
Col. Scanlon, with his regiment, engaged a
body of British troops at Pigeon Hill yester
day. The British were driven in confusion,
losing three flags and one man killed and
several wounded. The Fenians had three
wounded. CoL Landon then ordered his
regiment to withdraw, and they arc nctw at
St. Albans. Gen. Sweeny was held to bail in
§20,000, and Col. O’Mahony in §5,000.
A Fenian council of war at Buffalo decided
that it was best to order all the troop3 back
to their homes with arms and without mon
ey. They think it a useless waste of life to
enter Canada.
Spear still holds Pigeon Hill. Tlie Car
penter Hotel there was tom down because
the proprietor fired upon and defied the Fe
nians.
Col. Livingston with United States troops,
moved out to the border.
Six pieces of artillery for Gen. Spear pass
ed through Fairfield to-day.
Three thousand British are reported con
centrating at Richfield to intercept Spear.
Ten tons of Fenian ammunition were seized
at Burlington by the U. S. Marshal.
Eight British volunteers died from fatigue
on their departure from Armand.
■ Malone specials say it is believed that the
Fenians there, under command of subordinate
officers, will at once proceed to St Albans to
reinforce Spear.
Horses to mount cavalry are being obtain
ed along the border.
Gen. Murphy advised his men to remain in
Malone a few days, and he would give them
a fight. i
It is supposed Gen. Meade will have to pro
claim martial law and drive the Fenians from
Malone at the point of the bayonet, as soon as
he receives reinforcements. *
A dispatch soys that the United States
troops are thoroughly tainted with Fenian-
ism, and cannot.be relied on to enforce ex
treme measures.
Pigeon Hill, C. E.. June 9.—We are in
the enpmy’s country. The Green Flag waves
defiantly. We have captured Pigeon Hill,
St Armand Centre, Slab City and the British
colors. We are ready to advance. Hurry up
the ammunition. Victory or death. Growl
ers and cowards have gone to the rear.—
They will talk about our position, but don’t
mind them, for the tried men of war arc at
the front.
New York, June 10.—Specials from St.
Albans of yesterday announce the progress
of the Fenian invasion of Canada. The
right wing of the Fenian army was retreating
from Pigqpn Hill, near that place, and num
bers were preparing to go home. The de
moralization of tho whole force is complete,
and both officers and men refused further
duty. Desertions are occurring by the whole
sale, and, after a counsel of war, Gen. Spear
ordered a retreat to St. Albans. Reinforce
ments, arms and munitions failed to reach
them. Ammunition was carried to Vermont
and stored in a bam, where they will proba
bly be seized by United States troops, who
were supposed to be marching to the border.
Considerable plunder was carried off by the

Wendell Phillips
Rode his highest horse recently in Boston,
and thus talked to,the Anti-Slavery Society.
* “Johnson believes in the South. He leads
the South and his Cabinet with him, and
Congress has surrendered on the only essen
tial element of reconstruction. Mr. Phillips
hoped the Senate’s amendment of the recon
struction plan would meet with an ignomin
ious defeat, nnd that Massachusetts would re
ject it. lie would Welcome every Democratic
and Copperhead vote to help its defeat. He
would go a step further, and said : I hope
that tho republican party, if it goes to the
lolls next fall on this basis, will be defeated.
. f this is the only thing tho party lias to offer
it deserves defeat. The Republican party to
day seeks only to save its life. God grant
that it may lose it I Social equality follows
irresistibly political equality; and equality of
manhood without distinction of color is the
best lesson of the war. The nution lias one
salvation, and one only—and that is to ignore
race. Tlie President avows at least an .intel
ligible plan; lie has a purpose. The Repub
licans go to the people in deceit nnd hypoc
risy, with their laces masked and thqir cou-
ictions bid. I hope to God tbqjt will be de
feated! I want another serenade,, not onlj -
to uncover the hidden sentiment of a (L'al.inet, !
but to smoke out tlie United States Senate
T HE SUBSCRIBER respectfully informs the
Cotton Merchants and Flanters of Georgia and
