OF A PORTION COUNSEL.—When the United States Court (Underwood's) adjourned at Norfolk, in the early part of May, after the indictment of Ex-President Davis for treaon, there was a conditional understanding that it would he removed to this city and would res ane its session to-day, and that the ease of the Ex-President would come np for a hearing. Intimations, however, have been from time to time thrown out that the Chief Justice, whose duty it would be to preside at the trial, was not willing to have it come on at this time.— lie has not reached here, nor do we know that he is expected. Mr. Davis has not been brought here nor have we any rea-son to suppose that he is to be brought at present. This, of course, is as the prose-cution may choose, but his counsel are de-termined not to give the government the advantage of any default on their part, and so a portion of "them arrived here yester-day— prepared, we doubt not, to urge in behalf of their distinguished and long-suffering client the right that appertains to the humblest man, to have an enquiry into the grounds of his imprisonment or a discharge from custody. Those who have arrived are Messrs. .T. T. Brady, the elo-quent advocate of New York; William B. Reed, an able jurist and staunch and sterling patriot of Philadelphia; and George W. Brown, late Mayor of Balti-more, and a leading member of the bar of that city. Mr. (/Conor, the senior coun-sel, and Mr. Shea, both of New York, are expected to-day. Mr. Pngh, of Ohio, is also mentioned as of counsel for the ac-cused, but we are not apprised as to whether lie is expected. A telegram from New York, received by us Saturday, says that Mr. O'Conor comes to demand of the court the trial or release on bail of Mr. Davis. A telegram from Washington, publish-ed in New York, says : It is stated that Mr. O'Conor will be in Richmond on Monday to appear in the trial of .left". Davis. It is not expected that the trial v.ill come on, but O'Conor is to appear for the purpose of claiming his right to bail if he is not tried, and to be set at large under this bail. A similar statement is current in Johnsonian circles. Another Washington telegram, dated last Friday, say.- • Judge Underwood left here last night for Norfolk to arrange for the transfer of his Court to Richmond, as directed by Congress. P. S.—Since the foregoing was written, we have ascertained that tile distinguish-ed counsel for Mr. Davis, whose arrival we have mentioned, are here under the extraordinary circumstances, for the first time in their lives, of being entirely ignor-ant, but not through their fault, of the whereabouts of the court, its judge, or any one of its officers, or whether there will be a court at all or not. In common law practice it is the custom to notify counsel for the accused that their cliant will be put upon trial, and when and where. We presume, therefore, that under these circumstances, a proper watchfulness for the interest of Mr. Davis has brought the eminent gentlemen here.—Rich. Whig. cise a wholesome restraint upon licentious oF MB DAVIS' ^tongues ana" pens, and upon the press, which, as a blind leader of the blsnd, has been, and still is, one of the chief causes of past, present and pros-pective calamity and misfortune. The murders, lusts, assassinations, violent and unifoverned passions, endi.ig in self conflagra-tion- and self-immolation unparallellcd in any heathen country; the poverty, suffering, agony and degradation which have given this citv, of all almost unequalled natural capabilities, it* bad eininei; e are the legitimate fruits of the teach-ings of its public press; And anything you can be able to contribute to its reformation will, in the highest degree, be serviceable to the cause of t!.e country and of humanity : but, gentlemen, Ictus act with moderation and discrimination; for, though a prostituted press is one of the greatest calamities, a free and virtuous press is one of the greatest public blessing*—the greatest ornament and support of public virtue. The jury then retired in charge of Elliott, when, as we find reported in The Whig, William B. Reed, ot Philadelphia, one of the counsel for Mr. Davis, addressed the Court as follows : May it please your Honor, I beg leave to present myself, in conjunction with my colleagues, as the counsel of Jefferson Davis, now- a prisoner of State at For-tress Monroe, and under indictment for high treason in your Honor's Court. We find in the records of your Honor's court, an indictment charging Mr. Davis with this high offence, and it has seemed to us due to the cause of justice, due the feeling of one sort or another, which may be de-scribed as chrystalizing around the unfor-tunate man, that we should come at the very earliest day to this tribunal, and ask your Honor, or more properly the gentle-man who represents the United States, the simple question—What is proposed to be done with this indictment ? Is it to be tried ? Is it Domestic SUM! Impor-ted Wines, Liquors and Cigars. The attention of dealers is par-ticularly called to this depart-ment of our trade.

The United States Circuit Court of the District of Virginia, which after the in-dictment of Ex-President Jefferson Davis, of the late Confederate Suites, at Norfolk, adjourned to meet in Richmond, com-menced its regular session at the court room in the Custom House of that city on Tuesday last. The Grand Jury received from His linn >r the following charge : GENTLEMEN OF THE JUST.—I am happy to meet you again, and t.> know that you still live, notwithstanding the assaults that have been made upon you. Little needs in be said in addi-tion to the instruction given at Norfolk. Your i:i -: -i-sion iiun made you historical, and I trust the efforts which have been made to intimidate you and to impede the course ofjustice will not render you less faithful and earnest in the dis-chargeof y< <ax public duties. We ought not to be surprised that the treasonable and licentious press of this State and city should wince and rage and become furious when treason and licen-tiousness are exposed and arraigned for trial and punishment: nor should we be surprised at the enormity and despera+ionexhibited when we re-member that this city has long been the centre and -cat ofthe greatest traffic in hitman beings that has ever disgraced the world—a traffic which bat annually employed many hundreds of moral monsters and many millions ofcapital, fubriaiSIng il.. ,...— .. ,...lr:'. _~ 1 r..i:.:_-■ .'.i State, rendering Richmond more infamous among men for its participation in this great crime than all of the cities along the coast ofSen-egambia, Upper and Lower Guinea. Congo, Loango, Angola and IJengtfla combined. The wonder is that so many traces of kindness and humanity and Christian civilization should have survive* such debasing and brutalizing influen-ces ; and let us thmk God and take courage that, more fortunate than the devoted cities ofantiqui-ty, we can count more than ten men who have stood "faithful among the faithless. The complaints of thn at' u< d violence and in- ■ iti :., whii h have been forward' d tome by , i ral of v. ur number, for your late hero;, an I patriotic action, have been submitted to the highest legal and military authorities ofthe Government, and I canassurej ou of the earnest symi athv and firm support of all the offia t i I the law, notexcepti i ; the Presidi nt, whom the treasi : able nownatter ai dfawn upon, but whom they will probably soon curse as heartily as they did two years ago. But, gentlemen, 1 am glad to call your atten-tion to a law of Congress whi h puts your own vindication,-a» well as that ofthe country, into your own hands. In is::; Congress enacted, as you will find on page 188 of the 4th volume of the statutes at large, as follows: "Sac. 2. And be it further enacted that if any person or persons shall, corruptly or by threats or force, endeavor to influence, intimi-date or impede any juror, witness or officer, in any Court ofthe United States, in the discharge ofhis duty: or shall, corruptly or by threat? or force, obstruct, or impede, or endeavor to ob-struct or impede the due administration of jus-tice therein, every person or | ersons - iff! i shall be liable to prosecution by indictment, and shall, on conviction therefor, be punished by line not exceeding $o00, or by imprisonment not exceeding three months, or both, according to the nature and aggravation of the oriccce.— Approved March 2,1861." You will thus have it-in your power to awr-and this is a question which perhaps, I have no right to ask—to be withdrawn P Or is it to be suspended ? If it is to be tried, may it please your hon-or, speaking for my colleagues and for myself and for the absent cliant, I say with emphasis, and with earnestness, that we come here prepared instantly to try that cause; and we shall ask no delay at your honor's hands further than is necessary to bring the prisoner to face the court, and to enable him, under the statute in such case made and provided, to examine the bill of indictment against him. Is it to be withdrawn? If so, justice and hu-manity seem to us to prompt that we should know it. Is it to be suspended—■ postponed ? If so, may it please the court with all respect to your honor and the gentleman who conducts the public busi-ness here, your honor must understand us as entering our roost ommmii pmntaa* We ask a speedy trial on any charge that may be brought against Mr. Davis, here or in any other civil tribunal in the land. We may be now here representing, may it please the Court, a dying man — For thirteen months he has been in prison. The Constitution of the United States guarantees to him not only impartial trial (which, I am sure, he will have) " but a speedy trial;" and we have come no slight distance; we have come with all respect to your honor ; we have come with strong sympathies with our cliant, profes-sional and personal; we have come here simply to ask that question—I address it to the District Attorney, or to your Honor, shall meet at the time fixed by the Legis-lature, and form a State constitution, which shall be submitted to a vote of the people, and, if ratified by a majority ofthe loyal voters, shall be declared the Consti-tution of the State. SEC. 4. The persons who shall be enti-tled to vote at both of said elections shall be as follows: All male citizens above the age of twenty-one years, who have resided one year in said State, or ten days within the election district. SE O. The word u•citizens" as used it: this act shall be construed to mean all persons, except Indians not taxed, born in the United States of .duly naturalized.— Any male citizen above the age of twenty-one years shall be competent to be elected to act as a delegate tcftvnid Convention. Sac. C. All persons who held office, either civil or military, under the Govern eminent of the so-called Confederate States of America, or who swore allegance to said Government, are hereby declared to have forfeited their citizenship, and to renounced all allegiance to the United States, and shall not be entitled to exer-cise the elective franchise until five years after they have filed their intentions or desire to be re-invested with the right of citizenship, and shall swear allegiance to the United States and renounce allegiance to all other governments or pretended governments, the said application to be filed and oath taken in the same courts that by Jaw are authorized to naturalise foreigners. SEC. 7. Xo constitution shall be presen-ted to or acted on by Congress, which de-nies to any citizen any rights, privileges or immunities which are granted to any oth- a conservative paper at Buchannon, "for er citizens in the State. All laws shall be printing, posting and circulating a bill an-impartial, without regard to race or form-1 nouncing a meeting of the friends of Pres-which, even if needed ought to be made in our own shops, the country might perhaps be somewhat more prosperous.— There is certainly no necessity for such expenditure, especially <ncayfrom home. It is a reproach to our own mechanics, and is the main cause which retards the mechanic arts in the South. The labor and skill of the Southern artisan are not properly valued and appreciated by his own people, and consequently he has noth-ing to stimulate him to exertion. We are pleased to observe that the N. C. Central Itoad, under the management of Capt. E. Wilkes, relies solely upon its own shops for all the rolling stock of the road. This is proper. We have the mechanical tal-ent and genius in the South to accomplish any thing, and it is the duty of those in whose power it lies to foster and encour-age it. As neat work as we ever saw imj)orted from the North is dcily turned off at " The Shops" ; and the most hand-somely painted locomotive we ever saw any where, (the Gov. Morehead) was pain-ted by anali\j Alamance boy during the war, when he labored under the disadvan-tage of a want of colors and materials. recognizance and the officers on $500 bail— all to appear at Cauandiagua when re-quired and to subscribe not to take np arms.

Assistant District Attorney Hennesy stated that in the absence of District At-torney Chandler, he did not then feel au-thorized to give an answer to the interro-gatories of the distinguished gentleman. He, however, expected Chandler in the city by the night's boat from Norfolk ; but in case of the non-arrival, from any cause. of Mr. Chandler, he would be prepared to answer the question to-morrow.

The Memphis correspondent of The JVew York Times attributes the recent negro riot to the radical element, which has complete control of that city. " The disiranchisement of the citizens of Mem-phis," we are told, '"has resulted in the domination of a low and worthless class, with honorable exceptions, who are di-rectly responsible for these disturbances, and whose chosen Mayor, is even yet more guilty particepa crimtnis."

He introduced the fol-lowing bill, which was read twice and re-ferred to the Committee of the Whole: WheretUfThe eleven Slates which late-ly formed the government uf the so-called Confederate States of America have for-feited all their rights under the Constitu-tion, and can be reinstated in the same on-ly through the action of Congress, there-fore, Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the eleven States lately in rebellion may form valid State governments in the following manner : SEC. 2. The Slate governments now ex-isting tiefacto, though illegally formed in the midst of martial law, and though, in many instances; the constitutions were adopted under duress and submitted to the ratification of the people, and, there-fore, are not to be treated as free republics, yet they are hereby acknowledged as valid governments lor municipal purposes, until the same shall be duly altered, and their legislative and executive* officers shall be treated as such. SEC. S.

THKTBIAI. OF EX-PRESIDENT DAVIS—
AKRIVAI. OF A PORTION
COUNSEL.—When the United States Court
(Underwood's) adjourned at Norfolk, in
the early part of May, after the indictment
of Ex-President Davis for treaon, there
was a conditional understanding that it
would he removed to this city and would
res ane its session to-day, and that the
ease of the Ex-President would come np
for a hearing. Intimations, however,
have been from time to time thrown out
that the Chief Justice, whose duty it
would be to preside at the trial, was not
willing to have it come on at this time.—
lie has not reached here, nor do we know
that he is expected. Mr. Davis has not
been brought here nor have we any rea-son
to suppose that he is to be brought at
present. This, of course, is as the prose-cution
may choose, but his counsel are de-termined
not to give the government the
advantage of any default on their part, and
so a portion of "them arrived here yester-day—
prepared, we doubt not, to urge in
behalf of their distinguished and long-suffering
client the right that appertains
to the humblest man, to have an enquiry
into the grounds of his imprisonment or a
discharge from custody. Those who have
arrived are Messrs. .T. T. Brady, the elo-quent
advocate of New York; William
B. Reed, an able jurist and staunch and
sterling patriot of Philadelphia; and
George W. Brown, late Mayor of Balti-more,
and a leading member of the bar of
that city. Mr. (/Conor, the senior coun-sel,
and Mr. Shea, both of New York, are
expected to-day. Mr. Pngh, of Ohio, is
also mentioned as of counsel for the ac-cused,
but we are not apprised as to
whether lie is expected.
A telegram from New York, received
by us Saturday, says that Mr. O'Conor
comes to demand of the court the trial or
release on bail of Mr. Davis.
A telegram from Washington, publish-ed
in New York, says :
It is stated that Mr. O'Conor will be in
Richmond on Monday to appear in the
trial of .left". Davis. It is not expected that
the trial v.ill come on, but O'Conor is to
appear for the purpose of claiming his
right to bail if he is not tried, and to be
set at large under this bail. A similar
statement is current in Johnsonian circles.
Another Washington telegram, dated
last Friday, say.- •
Judge Underwood left here last night
for Norfolk to arrange for the transfer of
his Court to Richmond, as directed by
Congress.
P. S.—Since the foregoing was written,
we have ascertained that tile distinguish-ed
counsel for Mr. Davis, whose arrival
we have mentioned, are here under the
extraordinary circumstances, for the first
time in their lives, of being entirely ignor-ant,
but not through their fault, of the
whereabouts of the court, its judge, or
any one of its officers, or whether there
will be a court at all or not. In common
law practice it is the custom to notify
counsel for the accused that their cliant
will be put upon trial, and when and where.
We presume, therefore, that under these
circumstances, a proper watchfulness for
the interest of Mr. Davis has brought the
eminent gentlemen here.—Rich. Whig.
cise a wholesome restraint upon licentious
oF MB DAVIS' ^tongues ana" pens, and upon the press, which, as
a blind leader of the blsnd, has been, and still is,
one of the chief causes of past, present and pros-pective
calamity and misfortune.
The murders, lusts, assassinations, violent and
unifoverned passions, endi.ig in self conflagra-tion-
and self-immolation unparallellcd in any
heathen country; the poverty, suffering, agony
and degradation which have given this citv, of
all almost unequalled natural capabilities, it* bad
eininei; e are the legitimate fruits of the teach-ings
of its public press; And anything you can
be able to contribute to its reformation will, in
the highest degree, be serviceable to the cause of
t!.e country and of humanity : but, gentlemen,
Ictus act with moderation and discrimination;
for, though a prostituted press is one of the
greatest calamities, a free and virtuous press is
one of the greatest public blessing*—the greatest
ornament and support of public virtue.
The jury then retired in charge of Elliott,
when, as we find reported in The
Whig,
William B. Reed, ot Philadelphia, one
of the counsel for Mr. Davis, addressed
the Court as follows :
May it please your Honor, I beg leave to
present myself, in conjunction with my
colleagues, as the counsel of Jefferson
Davis, now- a prisoner of State at For-tress
Monroe, and under indictment for
high treason in your Honor's Court. We
find in the records of your Honor's court,
an indictment charging Mr. Davis with
this high offence, and it has seemed to us
due to the cause of justice, due the feeling
of one sort or another, which may be de-scribed
as chrystalizing around the unfor-tunate
man, that we should come at the
very earliest day to this tribunal, and ask
your Honor, or more properly the gentle-man
who represents the United States,
the simple question—What is proposed to
be done with this indictment ? Is it to be
tried ? Is it

LATBB—THE COURT IX SKS.SIOX.
The United States Circuit Court of the
District of Virginia, which after the in-dictment
of Ex-President Jefferson Davis,
of the late Confederate Suites, at Norfolk,
adjourned to meet in Richmond, com-menced
its regular session at the court
room in the Custom House of that city
on Tuesday last.
The Grand Jury received from His
linn >r the following charge :
GENTLEMEN OF THE JUST.—I am happy to
meet you again, and t.> know that you still live,
notwithstanding the assaults that have been
made upon you. Little needs in be said in addi-tion
to the instruction given at Norfolk. Your
i:i -: -i-sion iiun made you historical, and I trust
the efforts which have been made to intimidate
you and to impede the course ofjustice will not
render you less faithful and earnest in the dis-chargeof
