Ey~FEDERAL GouRT.-Th United States
Court met yesterday morning at the Court
Room. None of the old hangers on of the
court were present. which was almost The
first thing observed by the vNitor. The
Marshal opened the Court by proclamation,
when after some unimportant proceedings
an adjournment took place till three o,vlock
pm. The Grand Jury were then sworn
in, each member, by direction of the Court,
taking an oath to support the Constitution
Of the United States.
Judge Jackson then proceeded to deliver
his charge to the jury. 1t was very able
document aud quite lengthy. The Judge
alluded to the distracted condition of the
country, aud coutrasted its present condi-
ton With that of a year ago. The war was
inaugarated by ambitious and designing
men, whose only merit, il any they have,
is treason to the Government which has
nurtured them, aud under which they have
lived so prosperOusly. It was the province
OF tue Jury to deal with the acts of men,
not with their opinions. He quoted from
the Constitution:
"Trcasou TO the United States shall con-
sist in levying war against them, and ad-
herring to their enemies, giving them aid
and comfort"
1t will be the duty of the Jury to ascer-
tain all who are connected in any way
with organized budles, who have for tne.r
object the overthrow Of the Government of
the United States. All those who perform
any part in such combinations, no ever
minute, however remote from the scene of
action, are to be considered as traitors
All persons who give information to tue
enemy, furnish money, arms, clothing, en-.
list soldiers, or advocate the cause of
another government than that of the United
States, are just as guilty of treason as if
they had gone out and directly levied war
against the Government. Every species OF
aid will amount to levying war, and will
Priata yjaeid, make n man a traitor. The
right Of the Government of the United
States to march the armies of the United
States through any State is unquestionable,
Itis constitutional right. Any combi-
nation to oppose the march of the United
States armies through any State is levy
ing of war, and subjects the offenders to
all tho penalties of treason.
The Judge called the attention of the
Jury to the system of warfare carried ON
by the rebels in this section of the State.
They crouch along the highways and
shoot down men whose only crime is 10y
atty to their government. The Jury should
spare no time or expense in ferreting out
and bringing such offenders to justice.
The Judge alluded to the concealmcnt
ortreascn, aud said it was the duty of the
Jury to ascertain il there are any post
otiices, or post routes, or any means by
which information, in any form, is carried
to or from the rebellious States, and punish
all in any way connected.
In concluding, Judge Jackson said he
had made some changes in the manage.
ment of the Court. Tho Court would sit
from in the morning till IL, and from
ill 8. The Court was required to certify
to every dollar expended for the Court and
he was determined that tue monies of the
government should not be squandered.--
He had u word to say, also, to the bar.

would take the oath of allegiance. The
recent session of Congress passed law
making such requirement, but he asked
it now merely as courtesy to the Court,
Nearly all the lawyers present took the
