NEw JERSEY PoLlrIcs. brave Gen
Fitzpatrick has taken the stump in New Jer,
sey with as much visor as he ever dashed
into the rebel lines. A report Of one Of hi'
speeches says
lie denounced the copperheads who had
opposed the Government and refused aid "a
the soldiers; argued that these friends Of
tho rebels ut the North should be fought as
vigorously with the voice, the pen and the
ballot rs the enemy in arms with the bay
onet, sabre and bullet; he appealed to all
loyal men in New Jersey to remove the stain
OF disloyalty from her record; and, when
his earnest words brought down storm Of
applause, remarked that no "liked this enthl.
siasm: It was the Same spirit that he had
seen among the men OF hia command when,
as they saw the fash of the cnetny's sabres
and heard the roar of his cannon, he had
given the word Onward" He added
that he had lett his department in North
Carolina for tho sole purpose of fighting
coppcrhcads at home, and he meant to do it.

We are sorry to learn that Rev. @. W. Quin.
by. editor Of the Gospel Banner, Augusta, was
seriously injured on Friday last, by being
thrown from his carriage. His horse stumbled
while descending hill. throwing Mr.. Quinby
between the horse and wagon. and before he
cruld eItricate himself, the horse recovered his
feet and started. dragging the carriage over
him. He was taken up In an unconscious state
but was soon restored, on being taken to a
neighboring house. No bones were broken;
he Is doing well, and It 10 hoped will soon be
able to resume his professional duties.

TIE TRIAL or DAvn.-The following state
mens, moro definite at least than most Of The
surmises on this subject put in circulation,
sppears in the Washington correspondence
Of the New York Times:
Tho statement put forth by the associated
pres, from this city, regarding the probable
trial of JEFF. Davis before civil court, fol
the crime of treason, 10 but the simple con-
firmation OF the fact rs stated heretofore in
the Washington correspondence OF tha Times.
Il NAV now he further stated. that both the
President and Secretary OF War arc decided
" In favor Of n trial by civil court, and at
the earliest practicable moment. The chiel
difficulty has been to find proper tribunal.
The, President looks with iavQr upon Knox.
Vile, Tenn, where Davis committed the overt
act of treason. by melting instruction In q
speech to his army and the vacancy In that
circuit caused by the death of Justice Catron
could be filled BY the assignment Of one Of
the other judges, but the glory Of the judi.
cal lame OF this trial 10 believed to be very
p,rdonably coveted by Chief Justice Chase.
in which case Norfolk, Va, will most likely
be tho scene Of the drama. This Is what
Dayiss friends also desire. The statement
that the Grand Jury Of this district found n
bill against Davis for constructive treason
does injustice to the intelligence Of that jury
and the legal mind that drew the bill. Tho
indictment was for the overt act. II may be
further said, that whenever and wherever the
trial does take place, Gen. Butler, in con.
junction with the Attorney General. will
take prominent part rs public prosecutor.
The whole matter has been under considers
ton at recent Cabinet meeting, where. the
question Of mode and place was so Tar decid-
ed rs to render the trial an event near at
hand. ....

SENTIMENTS OF TIE REBEL oFFIOBRs.

( SENTIMENTS OF TIE REBEL OFFICRRs. I.
The Confederate officers, frankly express
themselves fairly beaten, but no bitterness
seemed to remain with them. The most
favorable opinion Of the magnanimity ot
the United States government peryaded
the minds Of all. There was but one opin-
ion among them in regard to the brutal
and cowardly murder Of Mr.. Lincoln and
that was the most abject loathing and de-
testation of the iend who committed the
horrible act. They could find no terms
strong enough to express their indigna-
ton, and said that no honorable man
South would attempt to palliate, much
less justify, the deed. Some anxiety was
expressed by portion of the officers in
regard to the probable course that would
be pursued toward them if they lived in
the loyal States, as the late order Of the
Provost Marshal General of the United
States prevented their return home. A
return once more to their homes and
peaceful pursuits seemed the only thing
they desired. The opinion was freely ex-
pressed that should the United States be-
come involved in a war with foreign pow
ers, she would find a large number Of her
late enemies side by side with her in de-
tense OF. the principles Of our common
country s.i'o@1 .'AG .!'iIi @1. ~ e'.@ ,

think of that now," the General promptly
replied, with an emphasis which half con-
veyed rebuke for the officer. {" Then you
want to return to peaceful pursuits, Cen
eral?" "Yes, that is now my only ambi-
ton" he said; and, taking the officer by
the hand, he added: 81 shall always be
