ALBANY, August PR. II. Gillett, one
Of the counsel for Jefferson Davis, in a
note to the Argus, says Mr.. Davis has no
more information concerning his trial than
others have.
In a letter from Davis, dated the 18th in
slant, to Gilett, he says: ~ am still igno-
rant Of the charges against me and the source
of them, and the tribunal before which am
to answer. Your letter gave me the first no.

requests Gillet to have conference with
Charles 0'Conor, his only other counsel Sc
that they may be prepared for the trial a'
soon as it is brought on, and with as little de
lay as the nature and Importance OF the case
will permit.
A direct application to the proper Depart
ment, asking to be informed when and before
what tribunal Davis is to be tried, remains
unanswered, because, it is supposed, neither
