CoURT OF SEssIoNs.-The jury in the case
of Harry Mercer, indicted for assaultyHnd
battery with intent to kill, came into ypurt
on Wednesday, and reported verdict of
guilty of assault and battery. The defend
ants counsel has made a motion for arrest of
judgment, on the ground that the ofshsewas
committed more than one year before the
indictment was found, and that therefore the
Court has no jurisdiction, for the reason that
the statute in cases of sssault and battery is
limited to one year after the offenss was
committed. The argument on the btion
has been continued, as the Court is ed aged
in the trial Of O'Connell.

sef. Davis, Message.

This functionarys in his late message to the
Confederate Congress- pours oat his yiols of
wrath, and threatens to imprison all Union
officers taken in warfare, land turn. them over
to the slave States, to be pauished under
State laws as negro stealers- This will sub
ject Them TO be burnt as the stake, hung or
shot, as the frenzy Of the mob may dictate at
the time of execution We doubt whether
Davis will consider this course as any advan-
tage to his cause, when he comes to- but his
threat int execution; but if he does allow
any prisoners to be dealt with in the manner
he proposes, he inaugurates the worst calam-
ity that has ever been devised by civilized
man, and such as will bring irretrievable
ruin upon the people of such States as shall
follow his advice. Humanity will demand
that for every Union officer who suffers by his
orders, ten of his traitorous followers shall
suffer condign punishment for the outrage
This is but natural sequence to the first act
of rebellion, and though humanity may be
Mortified at the spectacle, nothing can stay
the cry of destructi, that will go up against
a people who shall so far forget all obligations
to humanity and civilization, until they are
,blotted from the face Of the earth. The
chivalry will not hereafter say that poisoning
wells.and ecalping the,dead are not recognized
by the negro confederacy over which JEFF
