New YORK, August S1.-The Herald's Richmond
correspondent says the people of that city on Tuesday
called the Union meeting for which they had been
for some time previous making extensive prepara-
tons. All the speakers were men who six months
ago were prominent supporters OF JED Davis. The
resolutions adopted express indignation at the impu-
tation on the part of the Northern people and jour-
nails, that recanting secessionists are not sincere in
taking the oath Of allegiance. Pronounce such i'm
putations utterly groundless and false; profess the
warmest attachment to the National Government;
acquiesce in the result Of the war, including the
abolition of slavery.

England brings a report. from good authority. that

New YORK, September 1st.-The Times special
despatch says both the President and Secretary Of
War are decidedly in favor of a trial before a civil
Court, and at the earliest practicable moment, Of
JEFF. Davis. The chief difficulty has been to find the
proper tribunal. The President looks with favor on
Knoxville, Tenn, where Davis committed an overt
act of treason by melting insurrection, in a speech to
the army. In case he is tried by Chief j ustice Chase,
Norfolk, Va, will be selected. This is what Davis
friends desire.
1t may be further said whenever the trial takes
place. that Benjamin Butler, in conjunction with the
Attorney General, will take a prominent part as the
public prosecutor. The whole matter has been under
| consideration at a recent Cabinet meeting where the
question of the mode and place was as far decided as
to render the trial an event near at hand.
