The Andersonville .jailor Wirz has been found
guilty of murder, and sentenced to be hung,
which probably took place about Nov. II. The
following refers to him
\ special dispatch to the Tribune, dated the Sth
November, says: All day workmen have been busy
erecting the gallOwS. under the supervision of Pro-
vost-Marshal Russell, for the execution of WirZ.
\ curious multitude thronged the offices, applying
for passes to see the execution. The Press Will be
supplied, and a few other curious ones will be adj
mitted. Mr.. Schade, in an interview with the Presi-
dent. showed six atfidavits from Union prisoners
liipcdcHlnS inc testimony Oh Il WlUneSS claiming 10
be a grandson of Lafayette, asserting he was a
common Jew from New York. The same witness
swore he saw Wirz murder men in the stOckade.

The trial of jeff. Davis is promised, as it has
been for some time but now we have it some
what more definitely. The National IntsLtgencer
announces that the President had Just assured q
visiting delegation that " complete arrangements
had been made for the early and legal trial of
Davis according to the laws of the land" This
announcement was evidently made by authority
for the purpose of antagonizing the Chase pro-
position and the accompanying statement Of an
- impression that he will be released.
The Uo7Id's special dispatch saws Chief Justice
Chase has notified the President that he cannot
preside over the Court for the trial of jeff Davis in
Richmond. the reason being there is no regularly
organized Court III that city. The President main
impression is that he will be released. This, we
presume, relates to JEFF Davis.-EDs. ALTA.1
