"we are an enemy of the school, let him
bring forward his witnesses, who must
have heard Us speak against the school

The writer however deserves our SYM
pathies. lie never had in early life the
advantages of good graded school, and
this accounts doubtless for his mental alb

" jeff Davi. was admitted to bail
and released at Richmond last week.
i he bonds were fixed at 500, 600, and
II Drace Greeley was the first OF the re-
quired eighteen bondsmcn, who affixed
their signature. The Indignation at Il e
North and joy at the South over this
virtual surrendcring of the principles Of
justice anil punishment for crime. are
unbourded. Those who have suffered
the hardships OF the wa, and those who
have sacrificed Their friends upon the altar
their country, naturally feel that the
inducements to make any fut..er sacrifices
from patriotic or unself,h motives, are
small indeed. And yet it is difficult to
see what else could now be done. Gov.
eminent could find no justiiiable Lea for
l1rgcr retaining him II prisoner without
trial, and trial by jury in Richmond
would only be the mercst farce, resulting
in his ncqui,tal and a decision by the
Courts that treason is not treason, and
that crime is not crime. The indi9r at on
so fully felt and so fully expressed against
Horace Greeley is uncallcd for. This
action on his part is no doubt the result
of an honest conviction, or tie ebulilion
Of one of his many peculiar iIiosyncrasies.
