The .JefE. Davis Trial, Etc.

RICHMOND, November 26.-In the
Davis case, Mr.. Evarts, for the Go
vernmcnt, said the intention of the
Government was to try the Davis
case some day this term. One con-
sideration in fixing the day was the
time when Chase would attend here.
and the Government proposed to
name day after the adjournment of
the Supreme Court for this trial,
when Chase could sit with Under
wood. Evarts suggested the fourth
Wednesday in March. Mr.. O'Con-
nor said the personal convenience of
Mr.. Davis would have been promot-
ed, if that had taken place in Nav
last, and it would be very convenient
now; but his counsel would agree to
the proposition of Mr.. Evarts. He
thought the presence of Chase would
be beneficial not alone to the inte-
rests of the accused, but to all inte-
rests. Judge Underwood said the
arrangement proposed by the Go
vernment was agreeable to the Court,
and particularly because the Court
earnestly desired that Judge Chase
should sit upon the case; it was due
to the defendant that two Judges
should sit in the case; in order that
an appeal might be taken on disputed
questions, and the case carried up by
defendant to higher court. The
Judge agreed to fix the 22d of March
for the trial, and on application of
Mr.. O'Connor, to extend Mr.. Davis
bail bond until that time; and fur
ther agreed, if Judge Chase could
not preside then, to extend the leave
OF absence until the term following.
The order of extension of leave of
absence for Mr.. Davis, and fixing the
22d March for the trial, was entered
by order of the Judge, and the trial
ended for this term. Mr.. Davis did
not appear in Court. Those wit
nesses who came into Court-ex-Sec-
retary Seddon, Ex-Governor Letcher
and General Wickham-were recog-
nized to appear at the next term.
These gentlemen and several other
Witnesses for the Government we're
before the grand jury to-day-which
shows that Davis will be tried on O
new indictment at the term in March.
MIR. Davis will remain here for seve-
raj days. He will not spend the win
ter in Canada.

ance and Holy Communion in early Lent.
in order that in the state of grace thew NAV
perform all their works of penance and
piety more proftably.
Z. Pastors Of souls are exhorted, by
having extra opportunities for assembling
their people in church, during the Lent, to
give to them appropriate instructions, and
to unite with them In the exercises of de-
votion, such as the Rosary, the Way Of the
Cross, &C., which contribute tothe increase
of fervor and grace among Christians.
8. Pastors are also reminded that ct the
late Plenary Council the bishops resolved
to have two collections this year-one for
the Holy Father, and the other for the
American College at Rome. They will
please fully to instruct the people on the
Importance of these contributions, and to
urge all, as far as their means may allow,
to unite their efforts to give value to them.
Also, we hope they will keep in mind the
ordinary annual collections, which are re-
quired by the interests of the diocese, one
of which is pro- Cdthedrdlo for the Bishop,
and the other for Seminary purposes, or to
pay for the education of those who are pre-
pairing themselves to become priests and
missionaries in this diocese. The losses
which the diocese has sustained in the few
years past leave some Of our missions in
great need at present, and necessarily i'm
pose greater labors on some priests, who al
ready were fully employed. 1t is neces-
sary to exert ourselves to supply the de-
mand of the people for some one to come
and break to them the bread Of life. We
are unable to have at home suitable Sc
minary, and we cannot procure the educa-
tion of subjects at other seminaries with
out considerable expense; for which no
doubt the people will, under the solicita-
lions Of their pastors, be willing to contri-
butte.
9. We also mmend to the clergy
and people not to neglect to encourage
!" The Association for the Propagation of
the Faith" to which our diocese, in COM
mon with so many others, has been under
such great obligations. The little we may
be able to do in return may not amount
to much in itself, but it will show our ap-
probation Of this great work of charity,
and enable US to partake of the spiritual
favors accorded to members, while at the
same time compliance with the required
conditions can easily be made without any
great inconvenience.
10. The clergy will still continue at Mass
on days allowed by the rubrics, the collect,
secret, and post-communion for the Holy
Father, and Sundays the five paters and
aves, before or after Mass, in union with
the people, for the same intention.
Given at Richmond, February, 1867.

A SUCCESSION OF RUNAwAYs.-Ad driver
of one of the street cars was changing the
tongue of his car from the front to the rear
Yesterday, at the western terminus Of the
road, and the horses attached to it darted
suddenly off, and continued at full speed
down Broad street. Everything made way
for the fiery, untamed steeds and near the
corner of Third street another pair of
quadrupeds attached to a wood cart joined
in the run. Pair No. l were stopped by
one of them endeavoring to run through
furniture wagon, which he found out he
could not do. when it was too late. The
wagon was capsized and thrown on top of
the unsuspecting animal attached to it,
much to his discomfort and alarm. In
short time, however, the stampede was
quieted, and the runaways are to-day
plodding their way up and down Main

their noble efforts for my relief, that they

Church Hill who so cheerfully became the
instruments in the hands of merciful
Providence in administering to the wants
