The Trial Of jon. DRvis.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2e.-The tral Of
JEFF. Davis will take place before a United
States Court, but what particular one has
not yet been designated. There seems TO
be no importance attached to the fact that
the Grand Jury of the District Of Colum:
bia some months since found a true bill
against him for constructive treason, in
sending troops to operate against Wash
ington in the Summer OF 1864. The
Grand Jury of Knoxville, Tennessee, has
indicted him for treason. It is probable
rha. the trial will take place in Norfolk.
Virginia, in which event Chief Justice

New York August 2o.-The Herald's
Charleston correspondent Of the 26th, says
recently there have been arrivals from the
interior Of q large stock of cotton, and a
considerable number of planters. The
business of the city has experienced q very
encouraging revival. The planters are
loud with complaints that since the ne
groes have been em%ancipated, they have
2 nerally deserted the plantations, and
cannot be induced to work except under
compulsion of the military. In conse-
quence Of the indolent disposition Of the
negroes. the planters say that the cotton
and corr crops Of the State will give little
more than half their ordinary yield. 1t is
said that through the havoc and repudia'
ton consequent on the rebellion and it:
failure, and the emancipation of the
slaves, the value Of property in South
Carolina, which was four hundred mil
lions in 1860. has been reduced to fifty
millions in 1865. The test oath required
BY act of Congress in 1852, of all persons
entering upon duties of a United States
office, had given rise TO considerable dis
cussion here. Governor Perry, while al
Washington. was given a list Of the vari'
Gus vacant Federal Offices in South Caro-
lima, and requested to nominate suitable
person. to fill them. The Governors up
pointments are. with but one or two ex'
ceptions. Ineligible in consequence OF hav'
ing held Office under the Davis rule.
