As there IL much speculation concerning Jefferson
Days and there have recently been umo Of process
being commenced TO release him from confinement WITH
out trial il may be stated that the Secretary OF War; III
letter dated January T. says that Jeherson Davis hes
been arr8gned upon indictment formal charge OF
crime but has been indicted for the crime Of high treason
by the Grand Jury Of the District OF Columbia, which
indictment pending 10 the Supreme Court OF sad
District lie is also charged with the crime OF meeting
the assassination OF Abraham Lincoln, ana Win he u-
der of the Union prisoners OF war by ana olef
babarous and cruel treatment toward them The irtsi-

sruetivo presence giving the opinion that Jefferson
Davis aud Others Of the insurgents ought 10 be tried in
some one Of the States Districts In which they In por
son respectively commit tho crimes with which they
may be charged. None Of the justices Of the supreme
Court have held Crcut Courts IN these States and Dis
tois since actual hOses ceased, and, be adds, when
tho courts open and the laws cen be peacefully admin
isered and enforced IN thoso States whose people
belled against the Government, when thus peace shal
