HEAVY Dry GooDs IMPORTS. The
import and export trade of the coun-
try just now possesses considerable
interest. Though the gain in the i'm
ports OF dry goods upon the last
years figures was not quite as large
during last month as in the earlier
part of last year, it is, nevertheless,
amply sufficient to attract the atten-
ton Of the trade. The total entered
at New York, reckoning only the
foreign gold value, freight and duty
unpaid, for the month Of May, was
over $3.50, 900, against less than
1000, 600 for the same period of last
year. We are surprised to notice the
slight difference between the amount
landed there and the value thrown
upon the market, the totals being
about even; whereas, usually, when
the goods are crowded into the port
so rapidly, large part of them go,
into the bonded warehouse. Part of
the increase of last month, Of course,
Is designed to supply some portions
OF the country which formerly re-
ceived stock more directly from the
foreign market. sa u
The imports for the five months
from the first OF January amount to
S62, $50, GIG, against SI9, ,162 'oS in
same time last year Since the be-.
ginning Of the year, Notwithstanding
the large receipts, the total value
landed at New York is only 3. .OOO, 900
larger than the amount thrown upon
the market. The total imports at
New York for the first eleven months
Of each fiscal year, beginning with
July i, 1868, are as follows: 1864.
S7e, ,433, 263; 1865, SA,4l1. .971,
1866, $3.50, 2SO, 800.
The above is in dry goods alone.
When the imports of general n,er-
chandize come to be added, the total
will be swelled beyond all precedent.
\ very considerable part of this large
amount has been balanced by the in
creased value given to the exports of
cotton: and if the high price OF this
staple can be maintained, even with.
the smallest crop that has been pre-
dlcted, we may not be required to
pay for much of next year 5 imports

.ycN. Davis.

The correspondent OF the New
York -N'~S writes concerning Mr..
Davis MS follows. We give il for
what it is worth, but Judging from
the paragraph we quoted from the
National Republican, on Saturday last,
we fear he is mistaken:
l believe am safe in saying that
the President hes written the order
for the release Of jefferson Davis on
parole. and that it will be Immediate
~ sent to Gen. Miles. The President
announced his intention to do this to
the Cabinet on the Sth instant. But
he was aware at the time that there
was all effort being made, not by the
counsel of Mr.. Davis, but by Horace
Greeley and several other influential
members Of the Republican party, to
get the prisoner admitted to bail. He
knew that this application would be
referred by Judge" Underwood to
Chief Justice Chase. il, indcc,l, il
would not be made directly to the
latter. He desired 10 wait. there
fore. to see what action the Chief
Justice would take in the matter.
But now that the application to ad-
nit the prisoner to bail has been re-
fused, and now that the trial has been
postponed nominally till October,
really till December, tho President is
not willing to take the responsibility
Of keeping Jefferson Davis in prison
any longer. 1t is no secret to those
who are behind the scenes, that there
never has been any purpose on the
part OF the radicals who control
matters here, or on the part of the
Chief Justice, or on the part OF the
Attorney-General, to have Mr.. Davis
tried in the civil courts. They know
too well that the result Of such trial
would be full and honorable ne
quittal. Hence the various obstacles
which have been thrown in the way
OF trial for many months past.
Hence the recent postpone of
the trial, under the most !limsv pre-
texts. til! October
A special telegram to the Richmond
Dispatch, of Saturday, says:
Messrs. O'Conor and Pratt have
gone North. They report that their
last interview with the President was
satisfactory. There will be no change
IN the condition Of Mr.. Davis for the
present.

The Ceremonies OF the 10th June.

The Ceremonies OF the 10th June.
On Saturday last, the people of
Charleston held interesting and i'm
pressive exercises in memory of the
Confederate dead, in the various CO.
meterics and grave-yards in and
around Charleston. The ladies com
pletely covered the graves with flow
ers-thosc sweet tokens OF remem-
brance and affection. Atthe Magnolia
Cemetery, at 5 o'clock p. m.-tlle
hour appointed-a large assemblaga
had gathered around the six or seven
hundred graves in that burial ground.
The Courier says that many OF the
ladies present were attired in deep
mourning-the younger members of
the association being dressed in white:
''The graves had been previously
cleared and raised with fresh-made
mounds. In front, q small stage for
the speakers and choir had boeu
erected and dressed with eyergreens,
with frame esurmounted by n draped
palmetto shield, bearing the inscrip-
ton: Though in mourning, not dis
honored. At the foot, was q wreath
enclosing bent palmetto tree. with
the inscription underneath, Bent.

The exercises were opened with
prayer by Rev. w. Il. Yates, and the
Rev. j. l.. Girardeau delivered an
eloquent address. Two odes-ono
composed by Mrs. G. A. Ball and the
other by Henry Timrod- sung.
An address was then delivered bv
Rev. W. >. Bowman; afterwards. an
other ode, composed by Rev. l.. L.

whole celebration was worthy OF the
occasion. and reflected great crodit
on the ladies' OF Charleston.
