Jefferson Davis.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-The War depart
ment, in accordance with the advice of the
Attorney General, has ordered the com
mander of Fortress Monroe to obey the writ
of habeas corpus for the production of the
body of Jefferson Davis in the United
States Circuit Court at Richmond, on Mon
day next.
A dispatch from Richmond says the
Grand Jury for the United States District
in that city, empannelled this morning, had
three colored men from Alexandria among
it's members.

From the Knoxville Commercisl.J
Governor Brcwnlow Desires to Extin-

the Negro Race.
the Negro Race.

In the Knoxville Wig, published as late
as May 28th, 1864, Brownlow plainly,
freely and without reserve tells the colored
man that he wants them freed only for the
reason that he, Brownlow, believes it will
be the very means Distinguishing the ne
gro race. Brownlow says
1--WE have never differed with the South
upon the abstract question of slavery, and
do not now differ and we are free to say
that the condition of the slaves when libe-
rated, if left in the South. will be worse
Than it has been during their seTvitude.-
But We are for emanoipating every negro
in the South notwithstanding all this.

Radical Lies.

We clip the following sensible article
from the Lincoln County Nes0s of the 9th
owe are informed that some persons of
our town have been telling the negroes Of
this county, that if they voted the Conser-
vative ticket they would be put back into
slavery in less than twelve months. This
statement is not only false, but is designed
to scare and influence some ignorant ne
groes and thereby keep them from voting
with their friends. We advise all those
who are likely to be influenced by such
lies to think Well before they take the ad-
vice of such men.
We do not expect, nor do we intend to
pander to the low prejudices of the ne
gro in order to get his vote, but we tell
them plainly, that if they vote against our
interest, against our liberty and against our
peace, then they may expect the cold hand
of charity from US, and when they get into
trouble they need not knock at our doors
In this our hour of trouble and need, we
intend to know nobody but our friends,
black or white. Again we tell them that
ali such rumors are false, and say there is
not man in this county, who would, if he
could, put them back in bondage. But
there are thousands of men in this county
and State, who intend, if they unite them
selves with party that denies US our fbr-
erty, and our rights, to sever all mutual re-
latious in business that now exist between
them. It is bold presumption upon our
patience and interest, for them to suppose
that people, they (the negroes) deny
common freedom and common rights, will
continue to coUntenance and employ them.
Where is the white man who keeps about
him his white enemy? There is not a sin
gle instance of the kind in the Slate, and if
the white man refuses to employ his white
enemy, can the negro enemy expect to be
treated any better There is wide field
for the negroes to make for themselves
some character, with the reliable and re-
spectacle portion of our people, but if they
fail now, we predict trouble for them in the
future. They are now the builders Of their
own fortunes.

THE CATERPILLAR SCoURGE.-We hear

around the trunk of tree will preserve it

BAIL FOR Mr.. DAvIs.-A dispatch to
the New York Times says Mr. Davis
counsel are preparing for his expected re-
lease very industriously, although Judge
Underwood is known to hold that treason
is not bailable ofense. Bail will be ten
dered in the sum of 100000 and the
two sureties first offered will be Augustus
Sohell and Horace Greeley. If should be
remembered that the moment Davis is de-
livered to the custody of the marshall, all
military control over his person ceases,
and the court must of necessity then dis
pose OF his case in some manner. He may
be remanded to Jail for the next term, and
if thrt happens he will be wore off than
now, for the President would have no pow
er to release him. Hene the anxiety Of
his counsel 10 secare the acceptance OF bail.

Mullins, of mallet notoriety, has receiV-

such a cause, and the cause FIT for the sub

for he never did, we suppose, in the wild
