lative 10 the trial of Mr.. Davis are from the
best authority: The trial is set down for the

eminent will not interfere, there will be no
postponement by the counsel on either side.
The offence of levying war against the United
ough, Of Norfolk; Hon. John Goode, a mem
Der OF the confederate congress; and Captain
Hendren, who were compelled to appear
before the Norfolk grand jury, ando testify to
the facts upon which the indict ment was
made.
There will be very few, il any, witnesses for
the defence, the fact OF levying war being ad-
mitted.
The prosecution will then proceed with the
legal argument that the prisoner 10 guilty OF
treason, and the counsel for the defence will
argue that. being citizen of State and uu-
der its laws the prisoners allegiance was
due to 1t, and not first to the United States
1t has been positively asserted tina. Judge
Chase would preside; but, as the Supreme
Court commence Its session on the first Mon
