A REBEL SPY DISPOSED OF.-A few weeks
Eince man named S. B. DAVIS, a rebel
Lieutenant and formerly commandant of the
interior lines of the military prison at Ander-
Bonville, Ga was recognized while travelling
on the cars in the northern part of the State,
by soldier who had been prisoner at An
dersonville. He was followed by the soldier
to Newark, where he was arrested and sent to
Cincinnati for trial by court martial. The
result Of the trial has been his conviction as a
sPy and sentence to be hung at Johnson's
Island on Friday 18th inst. Davis made an
appeal to the Court, denying that he was a
spy, but acknowledging his position in the
rebel army, and admitting he was a bearer Of
dispatches from the rebel authorities in Rich
mond to their emmissaries 10 Canada, aud from
the emmissaries to the rebel authorities, hav-
ing destroyed those in his possession at the
time Of his arrest while in custody at New
ark. In reply to his appeal the Judge Advo-
cate thus stated the case:
The accused is charged with being a spy
1t is shown by the testimony that he is Con
iederate officer, upon the staff OF the rebel
General Winder; that he WIS ntrusted with
an important and secret mission within the
Federal lines by the rebel authorities that he
was captured within the State of Ohio, travel
ing upon the cars, where we was thrown in
cantact with persons from all parts of the
country and IN a rouition tn ohtain valua hIa
information for the Confederate authorities.-
It is shown that be was in citizens clothing
his hair dyed, travelling under British pass
port. All these things are proven against
him, and upon this state of the case his charnc-
ter is simply that Of q spy. What defense
does he offer2 He says he was a bearer Of
dispatches. What is a bearer Of dispatches?
A bearer Of dispatches is a soldier, armed and
5n uniform, conveying intelligence from one
army to another, or from part OF an army

SOUTH CAROLINA REFUGEES FLYING TO GEORGIA

from tho Augusta Consttutonshst. Jan. Il.
For several days the streets of this city
have been thronged with fugitives from South
Carolina, accompanied by their families focks,
herds, cattle and stock OF all kinds There
seems to be a general exodus from the old
Palmetto State, and the planters, in the dis
trict of Barnwell especially, and fleeing from
what they conceive to be "tbe wrath to come"
Safety and security from the inroads of the
Yankees are being sought in the interior of
Georgia. This movement is not predicted up
on slavish fear, but it is in accordance with the
orders Of Governor Magrath, who was direc
ted by the Legislature Of South Carolina to
move all property from certain section
of the State most liable to interruption by the
enemy. As matter OF precaution it is very
commendable, and the deserted country that
will be presented to General Sherman will at
once embarrass his movements and attest the
selfdenying patriotism of the Carolinans.

REBEL CAUSE.-THE Herald's Newbern cor.
respondent Of the 26th says: Intelligence from
within the rebel lines, represents the utmost
CONSERVATION prevailing. There is really no
communication between Virginia and the
South. A scheme was set on foot by severa
members Of the North Carolina Senate tC
bring about a meeting of the different Gov.
ernors of States at Raleigh. The latter had
met the approval OF the Governors, the pur-
pose being understood to be to discuss the
question of the crisis and reconstruction. But
Governor Vance, by information to JEFF Da-
Wis, broke up the entire arrangement.

Blockade RUNNERS OF CLOSING UP
WILMINGTON.

A letter from a loyal American at Nassau
dated on the 10Th inst, received here to-day
states lhat at that time there were nineteen
blockade runners in that port, taking in car
goes of arms, ammunition, medicines, clothing
and provisions, with the intention OF running
them into Wilmington. The letter also states
that in the warehouses at Nassau there was
stored on Confederate account, over two and
half million pounds of bacon, large quanti-
ties of arms, boots, shoes, blankets and clothing
of every description. In one warehouse alone,
over thirty thousand stand Of Enfield muskets
were stored, waiting an opportunity to run
the blockade. Several one hundred FOUNDER
Armstrong guns had also recently been ship
ped on rebel account. The capture of Will
mington concludes blockade running so far
as this port is concerned. Parties interested
in the business will not risk the chances of
running goods into any other Confederate
port.

to the other part. How is the accused
bearer of dispatches in military sense He
was not conveying dispatches from one army
to another ; he was not armed and IN uniform
Every spy and traitor that has ever lifted his
arm against his country can escape the penal
ty due bis crime, if sueh plea would be per-
mitted to avail him anything. Ii is said by
the accused, 81 defy you to prove that l gain
ed any information That special pleading
will not do. 1t is not for US to prove what
information be got, or that he did actually get
any. 1t is sufficient to show tha. he was
where he might have obtained it. Our public
safety demands that in the cases of spies and
informers this rule of law be rigidly enforced,
In arrivingat their decision in this case the
Court is bound to take notice Of the perilous
condition of our Canadian frontier at this
time. There are persons in Canada Eo-Operat-
ing with the rebel authorities in acts OF hos
tility against the United States outlaws who
strike US from the territory of neutral pow
or. The accused was carrying Information
from such persons TO his master 10 Richmond
Public safety demands that retributiou, swift
and terrible, be visited upon such men, who,
not content with marshalling themselves upon
the battlefield to destroy the American Repub-
lie, come 10 our homes aud fresides, seeking
to bring destruction upoa our heads.

ONO LEG1sLATURE.-We notice nothing of
general interest in the proceedings of this
body. The bounty question still drags, with
but slight prospect of being speedily disposed
of. In the Senate substitute for the original
proposition has been adopted in the shape of
a bill TO borrow money by tbs State and the
payment Of uniform bounty of 5000 for re-
cruita The two houses have failed to agree
in regard to increasing the salaries Of State
officials, and committee of conference will
probably be necessary to dispose of the mat
ter.

ENcL0sUREs AND TREPAssING ANIMALS.

A feature of the discussion in tie House
yesterday, was the discussion and final passage
Of the bill, introduced by Mr.. Delano, to
amend the law relative to enclosures ard tres
passing animals. 1t proposes some material
changes in the law referred to, its leading pro-
visions being as follows: 1t makes all domes-
tic animals, running at large that break into or
enter any enclosure tresspassing animals; and
holds the owner of such animals liable for
damage done by such trespass; it repeals so
much of the present law as provides for call
ing in the trustees of the township to view,
examine and decide upon the sufiency of
fences in such cases; it renders tie animal or
animals trespassing liable for damage done,
without the benefit of the law allowing GER
tain property TO be held exempt from execu-
tion.
The discussion upon the bill was mostly ia
vorable to its provisions, and during its pro-
gress Mr.. Delano made the statement that the
annual expense of agriculturists in this State
for fencing reaches the enormous total OF ten
millions of dollars.
The vote, on the passage Of the bill, stood

sidered in the Senate.-State Journal Feb 2.

Judge Nelson, of the U. s Supreme Court,
rendered a decision Tuesday of great interest
to banks. 1t reverses the decision of the N.
Y. Court of Appeals, which decided that the
Government bonds held by banks could be iu-
directly taxed by the State as tha assets of the
banks. Judge Nelson holds that no such in
direct taxation is allowable. The Supreme
Court decided that some times since taxation
was not It will thus be seen that the immu
nifty of the Government securities thus held is
perfect.

CONGREss.-The important event of the
week has been the reconsideration ny the
House of the vote of last session rejecting the
constitutional amendment abolishing slavery
and the adoption of that measure by the re-
quisite two-thirds majority. The Senate has
adopted in a modified form the resolution
calling upon the President to resort to retail
atory measures as means of putting stop
to the barbarities to our men in their hands
practiced by the rebels. Mr.. Sprague intro
duced bill in the Senate proposing an in-
crease of the salary OF Congressman from
So, 900 to $4,000, which was referred to the
Finance Committee, which committee repor-
ted adversely, and the report was adopted
Mr.. Sherman reported back the House resoIu-
tioG reducing the duty on imported printing
Is instead of per cent. No action had been
taken on the Recommendation up to date of
last advices, but the prevalent impression at
Washington was that the recommendation
would not be concurred in by the Senate
Fernando Wood has introduced in the House
a resolution declaring against any peace prop
Ositions looking to a disseverence of the
Union as it existed before the Tebellion-rath-
er strange move to be made by the leader of
the ultra peace men, who have been urging
peace on the terms proposed by the rebels,
which means dissolution and the acknowledge
ment of the rebel Confederacy.
