Though it is denied that Mr.. Stanbery
wrote the opinion against the reassem bling Of

During the recent sesnon of the United

either by the Government or the counsel for
JED. Davis TO bring on the trial Of that gem
tIemen, and it cannot therefore take place
until the next regular term, which CON-
mences on the last Monday of the present

erably reinforced within the past week or two,

posing strength than 1t ever did before in time

arrived here express their detsrminstion TO
stand BY the reconstruction measures, and
maintain that il majority Of the white men
of the South stand aloof and take no part in
the elections then they are in favor Of placing
the sovereign power in the hands Of the me-

muster out of Major General Sickles leaves
him with his hneal rank Of Colonel of the
Fourty-fourth Infantry, Veteran Reserve
Corps, and Brevet Major General in the reg

city, and if he should be assigned to duty ac-
very close proximity to his Excellency,
1t is probable that Congress will cali forthe
correspondence between the President and
Gen. Sickles on the suhiect*of the latter,s
application for court OF inquiry, which ap.
nllcation was denied.
