STATE NEWS. The Presbyterian Denomination'. The Synod of the Presbyterian Church in North Carolina is in session in this place. It con vened on Wednesday night, and was or ganized by the election of Rev. R. H. Chapman, D. D., of Hendersonville, as Moderator. w Rev. A. G. Hughes, of Haw Fields, preached the opening sermon, from the text " Lord, I believe ; help Thou mine un belief." , , , 3 , , There are about one hundred delegates in attendance. In 1836, a division of the Presbyterian Church in the United States occurred, grow ing out of the doctrine of the Atonement. The two branches took the name of Old School and New School. The North Caro lina Presbyterians adhered almost unani mously to the Old School The war gave rise to another division of both branches, into sub-divisions : Old School, North, and New School, North, and Old School, North, and Old School South. Since this, the Old School, South, and the New School. South, have united. In North Carolina the strength of the Presbvterian Church is about : Ministers 112. Churches 191, Communicants about 17,000. The denomination has a number of pe riodicals in different States, and a book publishing house in Richmand. A history of the Presbjterian Church in orth Carolina is being prepared by Rev Mr. uon, ot lanceyvme, wnicn, in some points, will be interesting: outside of the denomination proper. Charlotte Cor. Raleigh Sentinel. Chaklotte. Charlottee has a population of about , and is the centre of a good section of country. It is cheering to a North Carolinian to fall upon such a busy town as this. It relieves the sadness of our depressed old State. All is life and motion in Charlotte. The church edifices of Charlotte would be an ornament to a town of ten times the size. They are built with an eye to con venience and comfort, as well as appear ance Corr. Ral. Sentinel. Rock Island Man iTfactuking Company. There is, in this city, a Woolen Factory of dimensions and a character that are un known to many of our people, and only serves as another illustration cf a fact, al luded to in a former letter to you, and that is, that we know far too little of ourselves here in North Carolina. The Rock Island Manufacturing Com pany has long been known, as a company that made woolen goods in a general way. The machinery of this factory is busily at work in Charlotte. It runs 2,500 spindles, turns out 2,500 yards of cloth per week, consumes 3,000 lbs. of wool per week, or from 120,000 to 100,000 per annum ; it has six sets of cards and seven spinning cranes. The machin ery is driven by a sixty horse power en gine. This factory nses the "Harrison Boiler," of one hundred horse power. The pecu liarity of the " Harrison Boiler " consist in the fact that the water is made to pass through a series of globes, holding about one gallon each, and thus presenting to the lire largest amount of surface. Consequent ly, steam can be raised in as little time as would be taken up in boiling an ordinary tea kettle. This boiler has 1,064; such globes. Gen. Young is agent for this boiler. About 80 hands are employed in the Rock Island factory. But the best item of the whole thing is the fact that this company is turning out the best article of cloths cmd cassimeres, equal to the best that is brought here from the North. In proof of this I send you a sample of what they are making now, bea ver cloth for overcoats and cassimeres for pants, etc. There ought not to be coat or pants worn in North Carolina made of imported cloth. The company consists of General. J. A. Young, John Wilkes, M. L. Wriston and .Tas. Earnshaw, who say they are deter mined that no cloth shall be made in America superior to theirs. Charlotte Corr. Kal. Sentinel. The Wheat Crop. We hope that our planters throughout the entire wheat re region are making the most extensive ar rangements possible to seed a large crop of wheat. The wheat lands of North Carolina yield more in that cereal, in proportion to the cost of cidtivation, than any thing else. Less labor is required than with any other product, and it matures at a period when it is much needed to relieve the scarcity of bread. We believe it is now generally conceded, that North Carolina wheat, raised upon our lands best adapted to it, is not inferior to any in the world. It always commands the best prices in the New York markets. Let our planters, therefore, seed largely, put ting the crop in thoroughly and adding to the soil such and amount of fertilizers as they can possibly command. Raleigh Sentinel. Agricultural Fairs. Steps are now be ing taken in various counties in North Car olina to organize agricultural fairs. In Wake county a fair has been organized and a movement is being made for the reorgan ization of the State Agricultural Fair. North Carolina was second to few States of the South in her agricultural exhibitions she might easily become the first, consider ing the wide range of her valuable produc tions. Fatal Accident. Yesterday, on the ar rival of cars from Newbern, a negro boy aged about 17 years, who was on them while the cars were being turned around, accidentally fell under them, the whole train passing over his leg, shattering it in such a mauner that death ensued in a few hours. Dr. Davis was called to see the sufferer but could do nothing for him. This should be a serious warning to the numerous boys, both white and black, who daily make it a practice to cougregate about the railroad shed and amuse them selves by jumping on and off the cars while in motion, thereby endangering their lives. Parents should compel their children to keep from about such dangerous places. Goldsboro' News. Coming East. Some of the best citizens of Wake county are making arrangements to locate in the county of Lenoir, to carry on farms. This change is made in conse quence of the land being more productive than the lands in Wake. Golds. News. Robbery. A vender of " grub,"' of vari ous quantity and quality from a ginger cake to a slice of pork was knocked down near the Presbyterian Church on Friday night, and robbed of all his provender, the thief not leaving said vender enough to grease his pans for the next baking. That f b. must have felt greasy. Goldsboro News. Couxty Court. Last week the Court of Weas and Quarter Sessions was held for Mecklenburcr countv.

Many of these unfortunate people, instead of being at work making something to eat and wear, ere loitering round the Court House dur ing the whole week, either as witnesses or parties to cases before the Court.

Marine Hospital to be Sold, The Se cretary of the Treasury has ordered the Marine Hospital at Ocracoke to be sold, in conformity to a late law. Those at Nor folk, Va. ; St Marks, Fla. ; Napoleon, Ark. ; Galena, ILL ; and Burlington, Iowa, are to be sold also. Another Fire. On Sunday night about 12 o'clock, our citizens were aroused from their quiet slumbers by the alarm of fire. It was soon ascertained that the fire was near the A. & N. C. Railroad depot, in a building occupied by Mr. P. Mallory as a bar room. The Newbern Steam Fire En gine Company, No. 1, was very early on the spot, and by their energy and skill suc ceeded in keeping the fire within a very small limit. Two buildings occupied by Mr. M. and a dwelling with the out houses, belonging to Miss Dickerson, and occupied by Mrs. Cole as a boarding house, were all the buildings destroyed, although other biddings were in very close proximity there to. We have not been able to ascertain, definitely, the loss of Mr. Mallory, but from what we learn, it will not exceed twenty-three hundred dollars. He had an insurance of fifteen hundred dollars. The dwelling of Miss Dickerson was worth about fifteen hundred dollars, and was insured for one thousand dollars. It is generally supposed that the fire was the work of an incendiary. Newbern Times, llh inst. Fire in Kinston. A fire occurred in Kinston Sunday night, in a house lately occupied by Mr. D. S. Ryan, and the pro perty of Sheriff Fields. The house was un occupied at the time, and the fire must therefore have been the work of an incen diary. No other property destroyed. Newbern Commercial. Martin County Court. The October Term of this tribunal was held this week. We noticed but very few legal gentleman in attendance. A large amount of busi ness was dispatched in a very short time, which certainly speaks well for the industry of the court and its officers. Expositor. Poor House. The Poor House, (we mean the one belonging to the public,) is about to become, in this county, one of the things of the past. We learn that the last county court determined to rent the build ing out, and in future, take care of its pau pers, bv letting them out to the lowest bid ders. Whether this wili be a better and cheaper plan than the one that has been heretofore pursued, is more than we can tell. There is one thing certain, the poor house, as it has been heretofore managed, has been an expensive institution to the county, and not much risk of increasing expenses will be run by a change. illiamston l&rposilor, loth inst. The Genius, Character and Organization of the Confederate Army. From an interesting and spirited article in the September Crescent Monthly, by J. Quitman Moore, of Mississippi, we make the following extracts, treating of the gen ius, character and general organization of the late Confederate army: The army of the late " Confederate States of America" (the glorious name of that bright meteor power, now quenched, that shook its radiant splendors on the flaming crest of Mars !) was an eclectic, or excerpted system from the high military models of Aus tria, Prussia, France and the U. States. It was a beautiful and complete model of thorough scientific organization, full of in terest and instruction to those who wish to learn how to make war terrible and destruc tive, and above all things else, that sprang from the master hand of that directing and all-informing mind that stood at the head of the Southern revolution, attested its commanding genius. From Austria was taken the admirable organization of the grand field staff; from Prussia the firm and compact general military anatomy ; from France the model of its field ordnance and scientific artillery theory and practice ; and from the United States its tactical econo my, its infantry equipment and drill, its ar my regulations and its theory of military manoeuvre and stragetic practice. West Point confronted West Point, and accounts in great measure for that phenomenon so inexplicable to the criticism of the foreign lookers on great battles fought, with no marked or decisive results attained. Gen eral Lee and his adversaries made the same moves on the hostile field that they learned to make on the chess-board of the common parent academy. Jackson, alone, repudia ted West Point, studied Frederick and Na poleon, and as a consequence, achieved more brilliant results in a brief career of twenty months, than the whole array of em inent commanders, Federal and Confeder ate, combined, accomplished in four years of war. The organization of the Confederate ar my was a finished piece of military mechan ism, methodical, harmonious, composite in all pertaining to its exterior, practical ar rangement ; but there was a fatal defect in its interior, vital economy, a morbid, or ganic derangement, that defeated every hope of healthy bodily action, preyed upon the seat of life, and caused its ultimate dis solution. That disease was the absence of discipline. If it had possessed this one important quality the battle of Sharpsburg would have declared the independence of the South. General Lee crossed over into Maryland a fortnight before the happening of that battle with eighty thousand troops; but on that field he could only put his hand on thirty-five thousand of that num ber. Not that this more than moiety of his army had wilfully deserted their colors; but allured from their commands by the pro fuse hospitality of the people of Maryland, they lingered behind the advancing army, thinking to rejoin it in time to share its laurels. Such conduct the systems of Frederick and Napoleon pronounced desertion, and inflexibly punished with death. The great body of the rank and file of the South ern army was compo e l of a social element that, in the armies of other countries, is seen only in positions of command and au thority ; and the officers elected from among themselves, and often their social and intellectual inferiors, left matters of author ity and subordination to take care of them selves, while their only care was to make their reports corresnond from dav to dav : and x y f grave delinquencies were connived at in the same way that college students deem it a uacige oi dishonor to act the part of in former against their associate. Under such a general relaxation of authority, dis cipline was impossible ; and the Southern army was nothing more than an association of patriotic gentlemen, animated by the enthusiasm of a common cause, and regar ding army regulations and discipline as de signed only lor a race of slaves. When once in battle, they fought with a dash, spirit, resolution and desperation of valor such as has never been excelled by any sol diery in the world, ancient or modern. In the European sense of the word, there was no such thing known to the Confedrate army as discipline. The punishment of desertion by death was the exception, rath er than the rule ; and the Lulu of the com-mander-in-cbief was weakened just in pro portion as the severety of the discipline was relaxed. Jackson was the only general officer iu the Confederate service who ap plied the rigid discipline of the European armies to that under his own command ; and in proportion to its numbers, and in view of the brief period within which its splendid operations were performed, no army in the world ever accomplished such uuuiuui- xeauiia. xiis severe discipline neici lii.o frnnno firm aIaca in T,n,l result. Bragg made some ineffectual at tempts to discipline the army of the West ; bat the Southern blood was too high to bend to what it conceived to be a degrada tion, and could not then realize that it was better than the eternal degradation that followed. The infantry service of the Confederate army was the finest body of light foot, ba ting the discipline, the world ever saw. It possessed all the tenacity in line of the Austrians ; all the confidence in column, boldness in attack and cool self-nossession in defeat, of the British, and all the daring lnirepiaity ana ieariess uash of the French Corps cCAfrique; while the deliberateness and precision with which it delivered its deadly rifle fire, inflicting nearly a double loss on the enemy in almost every engage ment, attested its vast superiority over that of the enemy. The Confederate skirmish ers were the terror of the Federal army ; and in all combined movements in the open field, and with numbers always inferior to the enemy, the Southern infantry has never foiled to win the field. This sunerioritv proceeded not from the greater bravery of the Confederate troops, but from their greater combined skill and intelligence, flowing from that larger latitude given to individual action. Without their officers to guide and direct them, the Federal troops were little better than an armed mob. The Confederate troops acted generally as well without as with their officers, whose supe riority was only the temporary distinction of rank. There were men in the ranks of the Southern army who could have sup plied the places of their general officers. General Roger A. Prvor. after crallantlv serving his country as commander of a brig ade, tendered his resignation, and fought to the end of the war in the capacity of a gallant private of the famous Dth Virginia cavalry. The English refer with just pride and en thusiastic praise to the solid tenacity and stubborn courage of the British infantry at the battle of Inkerrnan. where 8,000 British lightfoot held in check and finally repulsed 15,000 Russian infantry, but it cannot com pare with the brilliant and spirited infan try charges of Ewell's and Longstreet's corps upon the fortified position of the enemy at Gettysburg, on the evening of the second day's battle, where the Southern infantry moved to the assault under a withering artillery fire, and swept before it three heavy lines of battle. And nothing is so forcibly illustrative of that high intel ligence that was the distinguishing charac teristic of the Southern army, than the fact that it saw and felt, before the attack was made, that the assault of the oil must prove a failure. The cavalry branch of the Confederate army was, strictly speaking, only a part of its infantry arm, clothed with 'equestrian powers and offices. It was only a superior body of mounted infantry that, as advanced videttes and daring scouts, formed the ears and eyes of that army that was never but once taken by surprise. The mounted force of the Confederate army resembled the Russian Cossack, whose office is to har rass and threaten, not to attack ; and as guerrillas, they became as renowned as the famous knights of the Cid, Ashby, .and Stuart, and Forrest, and Hampton, and Mosby, and Fitz Lee, recall memories of Villars and Fitz James of Tancred and Alva never of Rupert and Murat. But the essential pride aad glory of the Southern army, particularly of that portion of it that was known as the "Army of Northern Virginia," was its matchless artil lery arm. The world might have been con fidently challenged to produce such a splen did array of high intelligence, practiced skill and disciplined valor as was centered in that renowned artillery corps that was wielded by that eminent patriot chief, Ma -I 1 TTT-ll T r a jor-uenerai milium a. x enuieton. as a body, it was composed of the very pride and flower of the Southern chivalry, and fully attested its lofty claims to distinction on all those bloody fields, stretching Irom Manassas to Petersburg, and it is the espe cial glory of the famous Washington Artil lery to have first wreathed the Confederate banner with the smoke of its guns on the field of Bull Run, and boomed the last hos tile defiance on mournful Appomattox. Walton, Walker and Long ; Poague, Car ter and Haskell ; Fegram, Mcintosh and Nelson, are names that will ever be honor ed in the proud pantheon of Southern he roism and devotion, and will live as long as the tame of that immortal struggle which they so brilliantly signalized by their own lofty endeavor. The original organization of the Confed erate artillery was into companies, a ttached each to its infantry brigade, and subiect to the orders of the brigadier ; but it was soon discovered that commanders of brigade, the great majority of whom were from the walks of civil life, were not the class of of ficers to give the artillery arm that power and effectiveness of which, under skillful, 8cient;fic direction, it was so eminently sus ceptible. Therefore, before the opening of the spring campaign of 1863, a regular ar tillery and ordnance staff was organized, in the Army of Northern Virginia, with Gen eral Pendleton at its head. Battalions were formed, numbering from sixteen to twenty guns each, and operating in the field with its respective infantry division, and each under the immediate command of its own artillery chief, who had been assigned or profhoted to it by reason of his distinguish ed fitness and qualification, as indicated by former tests of high excellence in the prac tice of the field. And under the direction of this able corps of artillery officers, the grand Southern field park, both mounted and horse proudly asserted its claim to a place in the very front rank of the artillery armament of the world. .remain s and Mc Gregor's famous cavalry batteries that ope rated with the dashing troopers of Stuart, won a distinction second not even to the celebrity of the famous flying artillery of Austria. For the first two years of the war the field metal of the Confederate park was greatly inferior to that of the enemy. The battles of i5ull iiun, Manassas and the Seven Pines were fought with six-pounder guns, twelve-pounder howitzers and a few three-inch rifles ; and it was not until the battle of Chancellorsyille that the Confed erate artillery armament was of sufficiently heavy metal to cope successfully with the formidable Federal field ordinance. By capture and foreign purchase the artillery of the "Army of Northern Virginia was strengthened by a full field complement of ten and twenty-pounder Parrotts, the twelve-pounder Napoleon gun-howitzer and a few Whitworth and Armstrong rifles ; but the twenty-pounder Parrotts and the twelve-pounder Napoleons were the weap ons with which the Confederate artillerists chiefly won their bloody trophies, and wrote such a brilliant chapter in the records of high artillery performance. In nothing was the Southern artillery inferior to that of the Federal, save in the matter of am munition ; in every other particular it was decidedly superior, as attested on every field where the two armies were brought in direct collision. The army of the United States, whether regarded in the light of its scientific theory or practical arrangement, stands conspicu ously among the very highest models of modern military organization. It stood confessedly high even before the opening of the late bloody drama, and has since added the fruits of a large and profitable practical experience to its former high theoretical institutes, making it a complete and finished specimen of scientific military arrangement, and can be studied to emi- nent advantage dv ail tne modern war- i)iMr.. l l :T, t-.n 41. : The Negro Insurrection near Memphis. Frcm the Memphis Avalanche, Oct. 9. For some time past the planters living on and about the Burgett plantation have been watchful of the conduct and man oeuvres of the negroes about them, who, our informant states, number somewhere in the j vicinity of five hundred. As many as three or four times have they (the planters) been warned by their friends here to watch their every act, as it was known that they had purchased arms and ammunition iu this city, and had unwittingly hinted at their murderous designs. On Tuesday last a number of the negroes arrived here, and obtainining a keg of powder and a couple of bags of shot, left that same evening on the Natoma for the plantation. A mile or two this side of the plantation the negroes went ashore and instantly started for a lit tle trading boat lying about three hundred yards below. Here they found six rifles of fered for sale. They purchased these arti cles, and with the ammunition, buried them in the woods. On Friday evening, while the negroes were weighing cotton, the suspicions of the overseer were aroused by hearing them in terlope the text "Dixie" with the words "Ohswill be wine to-morrow," and "to morrow;" " We'll have fun," kc. He said nothing, but when the time arrived dis missed the negroes from their labor and repaired as quickly as possible to his own quarters, where he found the owners of the plantation, the brothers Burgett. He re lated to them what had occurred, and sug gested the propriety of immediately taking such measures of defence, as in their judg ment was neces-sary to preserve the lives of all the white people about the place. In the meantime they had learned that on the following day the negroes intended to at tack them in the field. They then deter mined on devising plans which, they thought, would entirely circumvent those of the negroes, and obviate the necessity of shedding blood. With this end in view, they started next morning for the field, two of the party riding off toward the road, two riding in the rear of the plantation. The brothers Isaac and Henry took the road, each being armed with a shot gun and a revolver. They had not advanced far before they were met by a body of about fifty negroes, who ordered them off their mules, accompanying the order with rapid and indiscriminate tiring. Fortunately none of the shots had any effect. Mr. Isaac Burgett quickly alighted from his animal, and raising his gun to his shoulder, fired, killing the leader of the crowd and wounding two others. His brother, Mr. Henry Burgett, had by this time got m the rear of the scoundrels, and, together with the other two gentlemen, who, it will be remembered, had started in another direction, poured a volley into their ranks, which had the effect to scatter them in all directions. It was there that the other negro was killed and two more wounded. By this time some ten or twelve white men gathered around the place and quickly succeeded in arresting and placing under guard the entire gang. Forty new rifles, thirty-rive revolvers, a keg of pow der and two large bags of shot were cap tured. In about an hour after the capture two more squads of negroes were discover ed about half a mile oil', but immediately dispersed in confusion upon hearing of the disastrous defeat of their infamous brother- plotters and assassins. An examination afterward of about twen ty of the negroes showed plainly that it was concocted by heads far more capable of doing mischief than those of the ignorant, leluded negroes ; but the planners lacked the courage of executing their damnable plans. This part of the work they left to a negro named Bill Dickinson, who assumed the leadership, and who, as is stated above, was killed. This outbreak, which was to result in the murder of all the whites in the neighborhood, to be followed by an indis criminate plundering, was planned and or iginated here in Memphis. There can be . - i i rm a no question about it. i.ne ammuninon and arms for them were purchased by white men in Memphis. This is the testimony of the negroes. They say, too, that they were forced into the insurrection by the negro leaders, who told them that if they would once take possession of the planta tions, their friends in Memphis and at the North would stand by them. The Wysterions Hospital Patient. Reference has several times been made to a poor Confederate soldier, who either from the hardships of active service or from injury in battle had lost his mind and his voice, and who at the time of the fall of the Confederacy was left in the hospital at Tallahassee, Florida, unknown to all and of course unable to give an account of him self. In the Tallahassee Sentinel, of the 4th instant, we find the following in reference to him : " The unfortunate and unknown hospital patient in this city, cf whom much has been said in this paper, has not yet been heard to speak, but is said to be gradually im proving ; and ii is thought that with proper treatment he will eventually regain his mind. We understand that his Honor, Mayor Eppes, has presented him with a new suit of clothes, that he might be de cently dressed to be driven out in an ambu lance, to enjoy the benefit of the fresh air and the change of scene, which have had a good effect. Hundreds of letters continue to be received making inquiries in relation to this truly unfortunate man, but none, as yet, have been successful in restoring him to his friends. He receives the very best attention at the hands of the hospital man agers, who have formed a great attachment for him, on account of his peculiarly pitia ble condition." Admirable and Wholesome Views. From a letter written by the Hon. Albert Pike, of Arkansas, to the President, asking foi a pardon under the $20,000 clause, we make the following pointed and truthful extract : The late war was more owing the dead of the past, who are honored, than to the liv ing of the present, who are execrated; more to Jefferson and Madison than to Davis and Hunter ; mow to the Kentucky and Vir ginia resolutions than to the arguments of 1860. " Civil commotions have long roots in the past," and their true authors have often been long beyond the reach of hu man vengeance, while those whom hatred seeks to immolate have been but the bond men of necessity, the blind instruments of fate. Why should the scaffold crave the blood of the living, who only obeyed the dead ? I respectfully submit that it is not just to regard as rebellion and treason what had been claimed by States ana parties ior sev enty years as the lawful exercise of a poli tical right by a State; and that it would be a grave mistake to make even one name and memory a watchword and beacon for all coming time. It would be to create that, "impassable barrier which always sep arates, after blood is so shed, the children of the same country. If convicted ami sentenced, none now accused will feel, nor will the people of the South believe, that they have been guilty of treason. Neither defeat nor condemna tion changes convictions. They will not seem to have been criminals, but only to have atoned with their lives for the sin of failure in the assertion of rights claimed, even if unreal, by many States, and by a great political party, since the beginning of the government. The man who can make his own fire, black his own boots, carry his own wood, hoe his own garden, pay his own debts, and live without wine and tobacco, need ask no favor of him who rides m a coach and four. LATEST NEWS BY TELEGRAPH. Important better from the President to the Attorney- General in Regard to the Trial oT Ex-President JLvIsThe Attor ney General' Reply. Washington, D. C, Oct. 13 P. M. The President has addressed the following let ter to the Attorney General in regard to the trial of Jefitraon Davis: ExK.curivE Maxhion, Washington D. C, Oct. 6th. 186U. f 8iit : A gpecial term of the Circuit Court of the United Ktates was appointed for the first Tues day of October, 1866, at Richmond, Virginia, for the trial of JerYernon Davis on the charge of treason. It now appears thai there will be no session of that Court at Richmond during the present month, and doubts are express ed whether the regular term which, bv law, Hhould commence ou the fourth Monday of No vember next, will be held. In view of this obstruc tion, and the consequent delay in proceeding with the trial of Jefl'eruon Davis, under the prosecution for treason, now pending in that Court, and there being so far as the President is informed, no good reason why the civil Courts of the United States are not competent to exercise adequate juribdic tion within the District or Circuit in which the State of Virginia is included. I deem it proper to request your opinion, what further steps, if any, should be taken by the Executive, with a view to a speedy, public and impartial trial of the accused, according to the Constitution and laws of the United States. I am, Sir, very respectfully, Yours, Andkew Johnson. To Hon. Henry Staubery, AWy Gen" I. In reponso to th above, the Attorney General, under date of the 12th inst., states, I am clearly of the opinion that there is nothing in the present condition of Virginia, to prevent the lull exercise of the jurisdiction of the civil Courts. The actual state of things, and your several proclamations of peace and of the restoration of civil order, guaranty to the civil authorities, Federal and .state, immunity against military coutrol or inter ference, it seems to mo that in this parti cular there is no necessity for further action on the part of the Executive, iu the way of proclama tion, especially as Congress, at the late session, required the Circuit Court of the United States to be held at Kichmond, on the first Monday of May, and the fourth Monday of November, in each year, and -authorized special, or adjourned terms of that Court, to be ordered by the Chief Justice of the Su preme Court, at such time and on such notice as he might prescribe, with the same power and juris diction as at regular terms. This is an explicit re cognition by Congress that the state ot things in Virginia admits of the holding of the United States Courts in that State. Ho also states, Mr. Davis remains in custody at Fortress Monroe precisely as he was held in January last, when, iu answer to a resolution of Congress, you reported commu nications from the Secretary of War and the At torney General, showing that he was held to await trial in the Civil Courts. No action was then taken by Congress in reference to the place of custody ; no demand has since been made for his transfer into civil custod v. The District Attornvof the United States for the District of Virginia, where Mr. Davis stands indicted for trea son, has been notified that the prisoner would be surrendered to the United States Marshal upon a capias under the indictment, but the District At torney declines to have the capias issuf d, because there is no other place within the District where the prisoner could bo kept, or where his personal comfort and health could be so well provided for. No application has been mado within my knowledge by the coun sel of Mr. Davis, for a transfer of the prisoner to civil .'custody. Recently an application was made by the counsel for his transfer from Fortress Mon roe to Fort Lafayette, on the ground chiefly of san itary consideration. A reference was promptly made to a Board of Surgeons, whose report was decidedly adverse to the change on the score of health and personal comfort. I am unable to see what further action can be taken on the part of the Executive to bring the prisoner to trial. Mr. Davis must, for the present, remain where ho is, until the Court which has jurisdiction to try him, shall be ready to act, or until his custody is demanded under lawful process of the Federal Courts. The Attor ney General suggests that to avoid any misuuder etanding on the subject, an order be issued to the commandant of Fortress Monroe, to surrender the prisoner to civil custody, whenever demanded by the United States Marshall, upon process from the Federal Courts. Mr. Stanberry encloses a letter of the United States District Attorney for Virginia, who states, in answer to the question why no demand had been made upon the military authorities foi the surrender of Jefferson Davis, in order that he might be tried upon the indictment found gainst him in the United States Circuit Court, at the term held in Norfolk in May last, that two reasons had influenced him in not removing him from their custody. He says the one relates to the safe keeping, the other to his own personal comfort and health. I have never had any doubt that he would be delivered to tho United States Marshal of the District, whenever he should have demaudad them on a capias, or any other civil process. Fiuiu Washington. Washington, D. C, Oct. 17 noon. There Beems to be no doubt but that Mr. Stan ton will Boon retire from tho War Department, and that Lieut.
