Trial by Jury.
Tim creat. bulwark of Republican Govern*

ulitmal government of Great Britain —it is
' ' nee th* pride ot it* people and the safe

Miin's from tb" mother country, it became

rout this great Republic have ever
.od, with jealous eyes, every attempt to
dyoor impair this sacred right. The ne
ty fora continued and unceasing solicitude
a preset vation is daily presented to ii* in
Hurts which havo boon made, and are still
g made, to evade this constitutional obli
u by substituting a system of military
s v.' oily unknown to our laws and inatitu

• l’>«-
jealous were onr forefather* of any im
ipnt of this privilege secured by Magna

and was convidered an Inadequate for the
nd p- rfsct security of jury trial, and they
tided in their State Conventions, which
to ratify the Constitution, that farther
ury rights should be secured to them
■ heir posterity. So strong was the fooling
this subject Ihat the first Congress which
u.d. t the new Constitution, prepared
a . .incuts which would satisfy the jast de
ft . sos the people lor further and fuller
B tards. These amendments were, we be
y unanimously ratified by tho several
, pi and are now beiowe a part of the Con
ion. The following are some of the most
..npurtnnt of these provisions :
“No person shall bo held to answer for a
or otherwise infamous crime, unless on
a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury,
except in casts arising in the land or naval
forci s, or in the militia, when in actual ter
vice in lime of war or public danger.” ♦ * *
‘•Nor Is deprived ot life, liberty or property,
Without due process of law.” * * * “Iq all
crim'u il prosecutions the accused shall enjoy
the right to n speedy and public trial, by an
impartial jury ot the Stute and district wherein
th** crime shall have been committed.” e o o
"And to have the ass stance ol counsel for his
defence ”
Tho frequent mock trial* by military com
inrn, lous of persoD* not in tho land or naval
loruoH of tho I totted States, cannot be justified,
eliiierby the terms of the OonHlitiition or tiro
laws of the land made in pursuance thereof.
They huve been held in open and express vio-
I roll of all constitutional provisions, und are
a disgrace to the Government, and an engine o
oppression to the peoplo. We hesitate not to
say tint every execution which has been or
dered by tboso tribunals, have been nothing
less than extra judicial murders. Tho courts
of th" country, whi n tho roign of pission and
pryuilio* shall have ceased, will, wo doubt not,
hoid all those who have participated in those
mock trials accountable to tho laws for their
doedi< of blood aud violence.
The day is coming, anil perhaps not fur diß -
taut, when tho sober second sense of the coun
try will demand that investigations be had into
the history and conduot ol these bloody tribu
nals. it will be renumbered thal tho out
raged people of France were finally aroused to
u du* übhoirence ot the cruel deeds of Kobrs
pluiru Mini I>niton ciiiunitied tn the sacred
name of ibeity; ami that a retribution, sharp,
fearful and just, fell upon them and their sups
pie tools. Already have the courts in some ot
the States begau the work of these
military trials. The indications are that their
coudemuuliou will bo /‘ull, compute aud dt>
tlded.
«|Wo have into this train of thought
y the
tic days since upon the presentation
iik a memorial praying Congress that Mr. Da
™ he tried by a Court Martial at Washington
We learu that Mr. ttumuer, in presenting tho
memorial, (signed, it Is said, by one inau, and
he a negro,) raid :
express no opinion on the subjeot; but,
now that it is before in, 1 will add that the trial
of Jeff. Davis, at the present time, by a jury at
Kichmoud, will be one ot those great comedies
which will hercalter excite thj derision of the
world.”
The trial by jury endeared to us l>y ttye
sacred recollections of the past, and secured by
the express provisions of the fundamental
laws of the land, is styled by this fanatical
descendant of Salem witch-burners, a "great
comedy," one which this bloodthirsty knave
aud hypocrite says “will horeulter excite the
derision of the world. Mr. Sumner, is no
ordinary man. He is the faithful and true ex
ponent of the views of a large clash of crazy
Radicals, who, having had a taste of blood, in
satiably cry for more. To accorap’ish their
hellish objects they aro willing, uot cnlv to
tear down tire legal obstacles which beset
them in the right to trial by jury; but they even
go further, and denounce this humane provis
iou of law as .1 farce, exciting tho derision of
the world, merely because It stands a mighty
barrier between them and &e object of their
fiendish malignity.
The i.aqg! Tax.
Thera seems to be a very general mLappre
heiisiou as to theexteut of the above tax. A
Croat many of our people are fearful lest this
tax will swallow up all their available means.
The wiblest rumors are afloat iu relation to it,
it being asserted iu some localities to bo five
per ( of. upon the value, and in others two
anti a half, ami then, wo know that the great
est anxiety is felt by tax-pa)era on this subject,
nutl wo ate gltui to have it in our power to cor
rect the mistakes upon this matter antler which
our people are laboring.
From S. A. Van coos'. Esq., the very polite
and t uutlemanly Collector at this place, we
losru that no laud tax is due the United States
Government except for the year 1801. Tho
amount of tax duo for that year is one third cf
one per cent aud no more. The assessment is
mule noon the valuation fixed upon tho pro*
petty by the tax-payer in his State tax returns
for 1800. Thera never baa been but one year
laud tax exacted by the United States Govern
ment that for 1861. The law fixing a tax
upon real estate was repealed very soon after
its pas ace, and hence we are relieved from
the serious burden which our people thought
they had to bear.
Evert cme can tell what his land tax is. Let
him take his State tax returns tor 1860 and
see the valuation there fixed upon his real es
tate, and theu one-third of one per ceut. is the
amount he is due the Government.
Tne law exempts from taxation homesteads
of the value of fivtJ’bundred dollars and under,
lienee, any one whose name is not worth more
than live hundred dollars pays no tax at all.
Wo are glad to learn through Mr. Pancoastt
that the people have responded so promptly to
the call for the payment of this tax, we are in
formed that ot the large amount due for taxes
here less than twenty-five hundred dollars re
mains as yet unpaid. This speaks well for
pur community.
We are glad to be able to state that it is
the intention of the Tax Commissioner of this
Slate not to call on those portions of the State
which have been overrun by Sherman’s army
until ail the balance of the State has been fin
i-hod. This is kind and considerate. It yvil'
enable the people in the desolated d:s*::cts to
make a crop wherewith to pay this tax.
If the Government of the Unit'd States
w .uld at once publish their law?, in the press
of the State, it would remove manv serous and
grave errors under which our peop ; e are labor
ing, and tend to the restoration of confidence
la and respect for the Government in no vtnil*
degree. We hope that the Washington officials
will at once take steps to give the people an
ofliior unity of informing them.selves upon the
laws.
Affairs In the Saulh.
Under this caption, a correspondent, of the
New York Times, writes a long letter from
Macon, Ga., on the 14th nit., about matters
aud things in general, all of which ss favorable
to Southern loyalty—(rom which we make the
following extract:
J war present yesterday at a most interest
ing and i:iipres-:ive ceremony, which deserves
special notice as illustrative of the feeling ot
the white for the Idaok lace, and of the sin
cere desire of the former to promote as far as
possible tbe temporal and spiritual welfare ot
the hitherto dependent bondsmen.
Ihe occasion was the ordination by the’
Presbytery of three colored men a * Presbyte
rian ministers, to lake pastoral charge of ex •
ciusiveiy colored congregations who had pe
titioned lor separate organization under their
own minister and government.
The cordial and prompt manner in which
their request was granted; the earnest interest
manffesied by the clergymen and laymen on
whom the executive duly devolved; the intelli
gence and theological knowledge of the c-.ti
ll urates for ordination, as displayed in their
discourses delivered as a test of their qualifi
cations; the order and becouiiua demeanor pf
the large as-emblage of color'd people wli
came to witness tho ceremony, and the charges
of the Presbyterian clergymen appointed to
address the new pastor* of their flock; wer ; all
very gratifying, aud afforded cheering promise
of iha future relations of the two races, if lelt
to themselves.
Oae of tho candidates for orders was a r.cgro
matt named Robert, born a slave in the family
of Hon. llowell Cobb, and although nominal
ly an involuntary servant, in fact as free all his
life as he is r.ow, having early learned the trade
of a wheelright and carriageuraUsr, aud for
many years one of the best and most skillful
of his trade in this city, protected aud encour
aged by bis late master on ail occasions.
Among the most Interesting feature of the
proceedings was the presence of Uov. Cobb
who, after the ceremony, was tho first to take
Robert by tbe baud aud cODgratuidto him on
it’s elevation, and tho evident gratification
which the trow minister lolc and expressed at
lire pretence and good will ol his foiliter own
er. The two other colored ministers were men
of like standing and character, and have for
lor tomo years been preachers or exhorteru,
but unqualified to administer the communion,
solemnize matrimony, or perform the other
I unctions ot an ordained clergyman. Num
hers of gentlemen ot position aud influence
were present, and one of the Presbytery, an
eminent lawysr, advanced in lile and in very
feeble health, traveled over a hundred miles
in Iris buggy to take part in tho ordination.
These are the true signs of the times. These
aro the teal indications of the toolings of the
two races for each other. No Civil Rights
Bill required this action ; no political advano
tage could havo been derived from it; no com
pulsory process could havo enforced it; no
Freedman's Bureau had anytbiug to do with
it ; and there cannot be a more positive proof
of tho confidenee of the colored peoplo in the
justice and good will of the whites, and of the
readiness of the latter to help and encourage
the colored people to improve then- conditiou.
Siuce tho removal of the colored troops tho
peace and good order of this busti:i)g little
city havo been undisturbed. The garrison is
now composed of Uniied States regulars, un h r
command of Copt. Cochran, and a more peac. -
able, orderly, inoffensive body of men cannot
be found Except walking about as citizens
and only recognizable by their bine jackets
and brass buttons, tlrcir presence would not be
known. Opt. Cochran, commanding the post,
1 a* won the respect und confidence ot the whole
people by his firm and impartial discharge ol
his duty aud by the manitestation ol hrs pur
pose not to give offence to any by undue exercise
of arbitrary power, tutmltiiug a-aertion of author—
ly, or the many uncalleiKfor acts of oppressive,
and bum'listing hardship which everybody,
sriys marked khe course ot his immediate i>re-
office. Non intervention aud irons
interference by Federal officers, in matters re
lating to white peopfb aud lretdraen, except
to prevent wrong or do justice not otherwise
obtainable, are certainly the true all
who failblully desire harmony, and the mutual
benefit of botli races. It is a fact piaiuly ob
servable by any oue who tries to see the truth,
that the further you go from bureaus and
agents aud tho military posts, the more indus
trious, happy, thriving, and content.''! do you
find the colored people, lu towns whose
“headquarters” are as thick as groceries, you
find contention, crime, vagrancy, idleness, und
the bad feeling which such a Btate of things
naturally engenders, except in the rare in
stances where men are entrusted with office who
discharge the duties with prudence and kind
tooling, like the commanding officers here.
Columbia and Hamburg Railroad.
Tho Edgefield Advertiser, of the 31st al
luding to this road, Rays :
There aro at present from 350 to 400 hands
at work on this road, which force will bo short
ly increased to 500. Tho contract for the
bridge over tho Congareo at Columbia has been
taken. The laying of the iron upon the track
will be commenced about the Ist November
next.
Col. Wm. Johnston, tho able and widely
known- President of the Road, ns also of the
Columbia & Charlotte Road, accompanied by
Col. Gardner, Chief Engineer of the former,
have been lately in our midst, bending their
united energies to the furtherance anu speedy
accomplishment of their groat work. The
high integrity and known rinancial ability ot
the President stamp with success any measure
with which ho allows his name to be associated,
lie is plain, practical and earnest, and pos
sesses in a remarkable degree the confidence of
the entire public.
Some time ago, when Col. Johuston’s name
was lost associated with the Columbia & Ham
burg Road, we had occasion to cast our eyes
over a statement of the conditiou of the Char
lotte Road. We ascertained the following
facts. The annual income of the Road was
about S2OO 000 ; and the nett income, after
payment of all expenses, $190,000. The en
tire cost of this Road was about $2,000,000 ;
the yearly interest on which is $140,000, leav
ing $50,000, nett profit to the Stockholders
per aanum. Besides this, when Shermaa
marched through the country, the Charlotte
Road owned over 1000 hales of cotton, large
number of negro slaves, and much other valua
ble property.
The Columbia & Hamburg Road will cost at
a close estimate $1500,000 ; add it is a reason a
bio to suppose that a great aud unavoidable
thoroughfare from North to South, as this
Road must necessarially be, will prove moie
remunerative than the Charlotte Road.
\Ve are fully awake as to how immeasurably
Important to Edgefield District will be the
completion of the Columbia & Hamburg Rail
road. How immeasurably important in a
monetary point of view, and a-so iu the way
of convenience ! And we sincerely trust, that
our cit’zjns Irom all parts ot the District wilt!
meet Col. Johnston and Gardner ai Monday
next, reedy to co-operate with them head and
baud.

The summer solstice has now fairly eel in,
aud the usual quiet of the season prevail?.
The weather is pleasant, and crcp prospects
rather more cheering. Flour from new wheat
ha3 mide its appearance, being from two to
three weeks later than usual. In 1860 new
flour from Stovall’s mill was reported by this
paper on the 18th of May, and a shipment
reached New York on the 23d. The harvest
will commence in good earnest next week. The
area sown in the cotton region was unusually
large, and we learn that the prospect is good
for a fair yield. The rust 1s not as bad as was
apprehended. It is thought that the market
will open at $1 75 to 2 00a bushel, which are
very remunerative figures, and higher in pro
portion than the Baltimore market, where con
tracts are being made at $2 to 2 20.
COTTON. —There has been but little done in
cur market during the week, and prices have
declined 3 to 5 cents on the ruling rates of
holders at the close of our last report. The
threatening aspect of affrirs in Europe, and the
unsettled state of the gold market, havo almost
suspended operations, and there is but little
demand. We quote as follows :

NAfHVILLE MARKET.
Nashville, May 31.
The grocery market was quiet to-day, which
perhaps may he attributed to the departure of
a large delegation of our merchants to attend
the Clarksville Tournament yesterday. The
demand for flour has been fair, and there has
been a good inquiry for side meats, but hams
and bhouiders are dull. Coffee and sugar are
still owiug to the advance in gold; the demand
is moderate. Fish and salt have been in fair
request. Other articles are quiet.
The produco market has neen quite dull.
There has been some inquiry for white corn,
and >t is worth $1 on the levee. Yellow corn
is dull at $1 delivered.
BAVAANAH MARKET.
Savannah, May 31.
There has boon mote activity in Exchange
this week aud a fair amount of bills sold.
Sight on Now York has brought out of doors §
to J premium, and the banks supply demands
at £ premium. Sterling sold at 40 to 43 pre
mium.
Cotton—This market has up to yesterday exo
hibited considerable activity, but for the last
two days there has been less doing—in faot
the sales have been confined to very few par
cels. Wtrile wo would have quoted middling,
during the first part of the week at 38c, we
have now to reduce our quotations to 360 per
pound.
The decline is caused by the dullness in
Europe aud consequent decline in New York,
as the latter market seemed to anticipate an
advance from Liverpool, and had consequent
ly advanced cn such anticipation and bad
crop accounts; which latter we still regret to
have to report as no more favorable, grass
being added to other troubles, owing to an un
precedented wat month of May, and in a mea
sure to inefficiency of labor. In Sea Islands
there is nothing doing.

Cotton—The market hare for the staple
:iLg moat of the week has been characterized
by great dullness, and an indisposition on the
part of puichaseis to operate, except at a con
siderable decline. The impossibility of buy
ing for the Liverpool market at the quotations,
and tne uncertainty of the New Yora. market,
wiU prevent buyers from entering the field to
any extent until the futures dcve'opes itself
more plainly. On Friday, 25th ult., au BCtivt>
demand prevailed, buyers paying 40c per lb
for strict middling cotton, aud operations to
the extent of 250 ba es. On Saturday the
New York gold market having fallen off, it
was taken as an indication of a turn in the
tide, and buyers withdrew without purchasing,
intending to av.ait the European accounts. On
Monday some 50 bales were sold, the better
grades declining about one cent per lb, and
on Tuesday some 150 bales changed hands,
the previous decline of one cent on the finer
cottons being maintained, and the common
