RICHMOND, October THE follow
ing facts, relative to the coming trial
of Mr.. Davis, are from the best au-
thority: The trial is set down for the
fourth Monday in November; and as
the Government will not interfere,
there will be no postponement by
counsel on either side. The offence
of levying war against the United
States, will be testified to by Judge
Scarborough, of Norfolk, Hon. John
Goode, member of the Confederate
Congress, and Capt. Hendren, who
were compelled to appear before the
Norfolk Grand Jury and testify to
the facts upon which the Indictment
was made. There will be very few,
If any, witnesses for the defence; the
fact of levying war being admitted,
the prosecution will then proceed
with the argument-that the prisoner
is guilty of treason; and the counsel
for the defence will argue that being
citizen OF the State and under its
laws, the prisoners allegiance was
due to it, and not first to the United
States. 1t has been positively assert
ed that Judge Chase would preside,
but as the Supreme Court commences
its session on the first Monday in
December, this is not possible. The
trial is expected to last several weeks.
