lar one has not yet been designated. There
seems to be no Importance attached to the
fact that the Grand Jury Of the District OF
Columbia, some months ago. found true bill
against him for constructive treason in send
ing his troops to operate against Washington
in the summer of 1864. The Grand Jury OF
the Court at Knoxville has indicted him for
treason; for there Davis harangued the peo-
pie against the U. S. Government The trial,
however cannot now take place in that town,
or any other place in the 10th Judicial Dis
trict, for the reason that the vacancy occa-
stoned by the death of Associate Justice Cat
ron has not been filled As the military op-
erations against the United States were direct
en- by orders given from Richmond, it is prob
able that the trial will take place in Virginia,
at Norfolk, in which event ChiefJustice Chase
will preside as that State is embraced in the
judicial circuit assigned to him. 10.

have recently been arrivals from the interiol
of large stocks of cotton and considerable
. numbers of planters, and the business OF tn
v city has experienced a very encouraging. look
e The planters are loud in their complaint
i that since the colored people have been eman
r cipated, they have generally deserted thu
. plantations, and can't be induced to work ex
y cent under the compulsion of the military
l. In consequence Of this deserton of the ne
|. groes, the planters say the cotton and corr
crops of the State will give little more thai
s. half an ordinary crop.
e 1t is estimated that through the havoc an
y repudiation consequent upon the rebellio
n and its failure, and from the emancipation
1t the slaves, the value of property in Sout
is Carolina, which was $400, 100000 in 1860 ha
" been reduced to $5O,000,O0O ut the preser
