VISIT OF RADICAL SENATORS TO FORTRESS MONROE.
Worldl
dearth of news most distressing is prevalent
on this point, which nothing can dspel, not even
rumOrs or gossip concerning Mr.. Davis. The past
two or three days it has been raining most inces-
sanity, which contributed not a little to the gen
era dullness. In days of yOre we used to have an
occasional arrival of vessels from remote regions,
but at present not even schooner bound in casts
anchor in the roads, but proceeds on her way
either to Norfolk or up the James river. As a
slight change in the above programme, | can only
state that this morning we have had distinguished
arrival of a live Senator, though he be a radical.
Mr.. L. P Poland United States Senator from
Vermont, reached this place to-day via Baltimore,
and is the guest of Col A. 2. Blunt quartermaster
OF this district
Whether the distinguished Senator came here to
ameliorate the condition of the nations wards,
inquire into the general health of MIR. Jefferson
Davis, has not transpred One thing, however, is
certain, that Mr.. Poland in company with Senator
Wilson, from Massachusetts,, have been expected
| here for the past two weeks, and only to-day the
| former arrived singly and alone. The great radi-
cal, from Massachusetts,, however, is represented
| by his son, dashing young man, holding com
mission in the 9Th United States cavalry This
noble scion is apparently enjoying himself, judging
from his rides with young ladies from the fort, ever
| if his parent is not here.
| THE TRIAL OF JEFFERSON DAVIS.
This important event is now the all-absorbing
| topic of conversation. The fact of the United
States District Court, lately in session at Norfolk
| adj0urning over to meet in Richmond next month
and on top it, bill having passed in the Senate
making only two terms of the court, in May an(
| December smacks of desire on the part Of thu
radical faction to keep Mr.. Davis confined until th
last of the year. 1t seems that Chief Justice Sal
mon P Chase wishes to defer the trial. if not shirl
the responsibility of presiding altogether.
The opinion of most eminent lawyers whom
how is n
ment of Judge Underwood, his May term is ex
tended into the next month, and the grand jur
who have found the indictment against the eS
President of the Confederacy were no doubt anS
lous to try Mfr. Davis as much as to find an indict
ment against him. Will the trial come of as 500
as June
The indictment which has been found agains
Davis is said to be very weak document; and
Mr.. O'COnnOr is the. counsel for the defense, @
any other of your eminent jurists, will find yer
little trouble in picking it to pieces. There is on
count in it, and that relating to D particular da
and date. However, that ia a matter for th
lawyers to descant upon; and as | am only
give you outside opinions, ] will not intrude m
own upon you.
The sale to be made by Messrs j. B. Walton
Desonde to-day, at the Merchants and Auetl0
eers' Exchange, will attract the attention of pa
ties seeking investments in the best description
