In reference to the. trial Of Mr.. DAVIS,
Mr.. JoHNsoN said:
"Almost every arrangement has bacn made
for the trial of Mr.. Davis, but no one can
tell what changes may be brought about in
the course ofa few weeks. a hasty and in
judicious action in this matter might produce
incalculable misery. Mr.. Davis has been a
great leader in the war against the Govern
ment, and it is but right he should be tried
by the laws of the land. Isympathize with
him in his suferings. His quarters have
been changed and his condition amelioratcd.
In conclusion, Mr.. JOHNSON said:

of woman, and not less than other men.

EE The Washington correspondent Of the
New York Ne.vs says:
The Tribune gnaws at a file, when it sneers
at Governor Perry for what he says in his
message about the admission to Congress of
the representatives of South Carolina; and,
at the President, because he las pardoncd
Governor Humphreys, and at Gen. Joseph f.
johnson because he has accepted the Presi-
dency Of the National Express COmpany.-
The determination cf the President to see to
it that no State in the Union is deprived of
its just representation in Congress, is fixed
and unalterable; and it will be seen in Do
ccmber, that he has the power to enforce that
determination. and will use it if necessary
The President has no sympathy with that
narrow bigotry which. would keep the officers
of the late Confederate Army out of the ave-
nues of honorable employment. He does not
expect that the people of the South will for
get those " hom they have long honorcd and
trusted. And whenever such men as Gov.
Perry, Governor Sharkey, Mr.. Alcorn, Gen.
Lee, Gen. johnson, Gen. Ewell, and oven
Gen: Longstrcet, are placed by the action of
the Southern people, in responsible and hon
orable positions, President johnson will honor
and respect that action.

TO break his contract with General Bethune.

Methodist Church in Columbus, and stated
to him the profers made Macka asked if he

the counsel. This is simple tale, but it is

Louisville Journal makes the following re-
marks upon the subject cfa pardon for Hon.
John G. Breckenridge, It says:
eff Mr.. Brockinridge is not pardoncd,
and ifhe wishes to be, we hope that he will
be. We know no reason why he should not
be. No charge, so fa- as we can learn, lies
against him that does not lie equally against
all who were in rebellion. No one has ever
accused him Of inhumanity to prisoners or Of
any thing inconsistent with the most knightly
courtesy and chivalry. TO pardon such often
ders as our Government has pardored, and
yet keep Mr.. Breckenridge in exile, if he is
willing 20 come under the prescribed obliga-
tiOns, is IN unreasonable and unjus. discrifn-
ination, according to our opinion We do
not know what Mr.. B, will swear CT promise,
but VIC would lay our life that he will do
whatever he says he will do. And none can
doubt, that, as loyal citizen he would be a
portion of the intellectual wealth Of Kentucky

. DOMESTIC ECoWoMY-SOMETHING ABOUT
BUTTER.-Thc following fromthe Providence
Journal, has its merits:
Sundry housekeepers in Boston have form
ed league against eating butter, except one
pound week, till the price comes down to
thirty cents. While we doubt the allegation
that the high price of this article is charge
BILE upon speculators, We commend the deter
minatiOn to abstain from the use Of it till the
price is reduced and rs it may be incon-
venient, and cannot be very important, to
form leagues for mutual announcement and
protection, on the matter, it will be well for
every man TO 60 into the arrangement on his
own hook.
Butter is very agreeable article of food,
but by no means an indispensable one; and
no one will suffer in health; by substituting
other articles for while. Speculation NAV
have something to do with it, but the drought
has more. The demand is greater than the
supply, and the most ngacticsble way 10 re-.
store the just relation between tho two "a "a
diminish the consumption. In doing this,
every one who aids in it gets his pay, US he
goes on. in the reduction Of hia expenses, and
IN Just proportion es he makes the personal
sacrifice, which is much less than it would be
if the quality Of the butter in market did not
go down, rs the prices 60 up.
Among tie arts that have been carried to
greatest perfection in this country, household
economy, in cities aud among men of COM.
Pe.ent means, can hardly be reckoned. Wo
are to-, nd feEept to economy; some arc
ashamed OF it; and our kitchens are very
wasteful. The food that is thrown away
would, with judicious management, 20 far
toward the support of family of equal size
Many cheaper substitutes, heaItbfuI and
agreeable, can be easily found for our more
expensive articles of food; and if all the
money that is spent in rum and tobacco was
put into bread and beef and butter, the prico
Of the latter would rot bo SO severely felt.

"Beat Up an ounce of assaftetida and add,

reaction took place, and the hogs were soon
entirely cured.''

The proceedings of the next Virginia Le-
gIslature. to convene in Richmond on the
first Monday in December, will be exceeding
ly Important to the people Of the State. Our
people, in common with the rest of the people
OF the State, are deeply, profoundly interest
ed III the just settlement ofmany ofthe ques-
tions which will come up for decision and
deliberation in that body.
The old State is found, in the first place,
dismcmbered- of some of her faircst
proportions. She has been dismembercd
without the consent OF her people-without
her own consent, to form a new State, for the
benefit Of faction living in what we used to
know as ''thc Pan handle of Virginia" This
dismembermcnt has taken place in a time of
war, period of violence, and anarchy, con-
fusion and bloodshed, when the worst elements
in the State were melted to do their worst
deeds Shall we quietly and passiycly sub
NIT to this ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of 'sthe blessed
mother. fus ally'' Not if we can help it.
Cnr Legislature must ct cnce protest against
the unnatural unauthorized and unccrstit,l.
tonal dividing out" ofthc old State. At
all events VIC must see what right they have
i'll West Virginia to force whole counties.
against their wishes. and against the wishes
OF the State to which they properly belong,
into such unnatural connection. If the pco-
Pie West Of the AlIeghanos really desire to
belong to the Wheeling (Ncst Va) Governs
mcnt. why we shall not complain, and the tic
they have formed can lie allowed to remain
undisturbcd. But we do protest, in the
name Of Tie lover Valley counties, and in the
name of the counties lying between us and
the AlleShanics, against any such connection.
We know the people of Jefferson, of Hamp-
shire, Of Hardy, Of Pendlcton, ('thc State
of Pendleton,' ,'') are utterly opposed to being
taken neck and heels i'll a time of social dis
order, and tied up where they do not want
to belong. The Legislature of Virginia
old Virginia, God bless her yet, in all kor
mistorunes!) y must see what can be done in
the premises to restore our ancient bourda-
rics and to take in our citizens who have been
taken from us against their and our consent.
As the york of the DEMONSTRATION" and
''reStoratiOn" of States is the watcEword and
order of the day now, we trust the first busi-
ness of our new Legislature will be the ad,
justment of the difficult and complicated
questions growing out of the formation Of
the $50 called State of West Virginia L
is our deliberate Judgment that We never
will have peace amongst ourselves in Virgin.

America after her mighty struggle. The
shltuest and most dexterous of races, if not
the strongest, our Yankee friends ara falling,
as it by, some natural laR of .gravitation, into
their proper places and there is something
really wonderful in their versatility. The
general. telling his wife to take care of his,
epaulettes, quietly turns lawyer or merchant;
the soldier goes back I'd the farm or the loom;
and two mighty armies have hitherto scarce
ly shown. a sign of disorder durihs. the irving
time of disbandment. The expIahation ofoll
this must not be sought in 'tiistithtions' or
constitutions, but in those grand natural
capacities Of the land itself. which no labor
or wit Of man created, which no violence of
man could altogether destroy. In that i'm
merse continent there is roum for all: and no
one with any real capacity has long to wait
before he finds his place Few other c0un-
tries could have sustained the recent contest
without utter ruin; in Allorica the wounds
are healing almost before the swords are
sheathed. Nor let US forget, as We contem-
plate the significant scene OF generals dcvotine,
themselves to civil pursuits, that the ra-
tional character must have been potcntly
affected by the events of the last FIVE wears.
Many OF llte's most important lessons can
only be learnt through the stern discipline of
through the lurid cloud of desolation and of
death might indeed have riotcd iu all the in
solent extravaganza of material prosperity,
but would never have been, in the Eigh mean
ing of the term, a nation. It is rnphilo-
sophical to believe that the American char
acter has been radically altered; it is not less
unphilosophical to assume that it has not
Eecn greatly modified. The old forms of ac-
tion, the old political orgaui-ations, the old
party names, may yet survive; but a new
spirit has been brcathed into them all. On
the race, as on the individual, the charm has
worked, and we shall probably, for the future,
find a gravcr and more serious tone in the
countIymcn Of that jcsting President who. by
sheer honesty Of meaning, had acquired a
statesman's reputation when he pcrished by
a martyrs death, and of that Southern tailor
from Tennessee, who has already approved
himself a skilltul and a rssolute ruler. Lees
nature underwent no change; it simply re-
tains its serene nobility. For the rest, "let
the dead bury their dead" Our business is
with The present and future. The signs Of
wa, though they cannot utterly disappear,
may tade away with singular rapidity in that
young land, where al things grow so swiftly,
from corn and maize up to men and women.
The traveller in the prairics OF the West,
camping amid the long, luxuriant grass, may
almost s.lile; as the guide tells him how on
that very spot the Indians fought-how he
might yet ind traces of the conflict in rusty
tomahawli and in broken bow. 1t was not a
long time ago; but MEANWHILE the land is
very rich, aud the grass is Very green.
