The Injunctiou Cases.
Tho States ot' ti corgis and Mississippi ap
pealed to tho Supreme Court of tho United
lj**,,p,*????l(t^^ ;
Congress from being executed, alleging that I
they were unconstitutional anti destructive to
tho rights of these States. These cases were
argued by the most eminent counsel, in a
thorough, able and effcotivo manner. The
Court, ofter mature consideration of the ease,
dismissed both bills, adjudging thereby that
thc reconstruction measures of Congress are
NOT unconstitutional. The Mississippi bill
was amended, however, by praying that tho
military authorities might bo prevented from
wasting the public property of tho State; af
ter which, it was continued.
Now, that this question is settled, wo trust
that those who leaned oa this hope will throw
no further obstacles in the way of reconstruc
tion ; but on tho contrary, assist in preserv
ing thc little of liberty mid property left us.
Tho Mineral Resources of Pickens.
Dickens District is rich in mineral resour
ces. There are numbers of places where a
great deal of work had been done before the
war commenced. Col. ICuiITMANN expended
thousands of dollars in his search for copper,
and wo expoet to sec sonic less liberal and
perhaps more fortunato adventurer entirely
successful. Tho u gold diggins " have been
.worked in many places, yielding a much bet
tor sum than mere novices in thc business
could expect. On Mr. A. M. SMITH'S linc
placo, in Cheohec, very fine specimens of gold
hav? been found, and it is reported to bo very
rich. Some of u our tintura! enemies," from
Kow York, havp examined it, with a view of
m'iking a purchase, The KEITH place, 'n
Chcohee, is also rich in gold Here, and else
where In tho District, wo learn that earnest
efforts will bo made to remove tho " precious
motal" from ra otb or earth. And, upon all
those efforts, we trust thc most abundant suc
cess will bo realized.
The gold mania is also moving our Rnbun
friends. An officient company has been
formed for working thc mines on Dick's ore?le,
on the Hydraulic pinn. Quito a profitable
trade has sprung up, in " gold Juts," between
Rnbun and Dahlonega-one company alono
investing ns mu di ns one hundred thousand
dollars in theso " gold lot?."

upwards of two columns of rep iris, from dif

with bul a few exceptions, unite in represen

both for cereals and fruits. In tho North
western States, the prospect for wheat was nev

the area devoted to this cereal has been largo
iy increased.
The reports from th? Southern States, ac
cording lo thc " Commercial," uro encoura
ging. Considerable more, territory seems to
have been devoted to seed hist fall than is gen
erally supposed. A Chattanooga pnper.MMCits
that there will bc more wheat ImrvostOu in
East Tennessee than during any previous your.
Prospects were never belter in Virginia, as
well as in Georgia and Mississippi. Though
there, is suffering now, the prospect is that the
South will have abundance of fond as soon ns
thc harvest is gathered. Rut. during thc ma
king of these crops, tho people here, will rc
quire largo contributions of provisions and

Movements of Mr. Davis.
FORTRFSS MONROE, May IL --Mr Davis
bas left here, after two years' imprisonment.
The leave-taking was touchingly impressive.
Robert Ould and the brother of Mr. Davis,
from Vicksburg, with Mrs. Davis mid sister
and several friends, accompanied him. The
countenance of Mr. Davis wns cheerful. Ile
received many friends with great cordiality
on the boat. His face was pale, and he is
very thin and feeble. His bair lina grown
quite grey.
RICHMOND, May IL-Tho steamer John
Sylvester, with Mr. Davis on board, arrived
this afternoon, nt half-past 5 o'clock. Long
boforo ber arrivai, tho military arrangements
had been marlo by Gen. Schofield. A detach
ment of infantry from tho 20th regiment was
present, and sentinels were posted at intervals
enclosing about 200 yards square, of the
wharf. Outside of this lino, a large crowd of
negroes and a few whites were gathered. The.
brows of thc surrounding bills were pretty
thickly covered with spectators, Maj, Vance,
of Gen. Sohoiield's staff, who was in com
mand, and a detachment of Oanoticcrs of the
?th artillery, numbering about fifty, mounted
ns n guard for tho carriages. As tho steamer
hove in eight, with the national flag Hying,
tho most intonso anxiety was exhibited hy the
crowd to get closer ; but t hem wits no demon
stration-no cheering or hissing. When the
stoumcr was made fast, Hon. Jas. Lyons went
on board, and after u fooling meeting with Mr.
Davis, brought Mrs. Davis nshoro, and con
ducted her to a enrringe, followed by thc two
sorvants who attended her. After ti few min
utes, Mr. Davis carno over tho gang plank,
accompanied by Con.. Burton and Dr. Cooper,
ile looked very much changed from what tho
citizens of Riobmond remember bim to have
hcon, looking much older and rathor haggard
and feoblo. A full groy board contributed
much to tho ohango. Ileworoa heavy black
overcoat, and came ashore with a very firm
stop. Tho party immediately got into carri- '
ages, and surrounded by tho mounted guard,
drove rapidly by a side streot up towards the
.Spotswood lintel, thus disappointing the large
crowd which hud gathered ou Main street to
sci! Mr. Davis.
On tho trip up, Mr. Davis was quite cheer
ful, and as bc had no guard, walked freely
about till boat, conversing with tho passen
gers, who were all anxious to speak to him.
ile said l'lt tl a about his imprisonment, but
?poko in terms of the wannest affection of ex- J
President Pierce, who visited him on Thurs
day last. Ile said there was no man living
for whom he entertained a higher regard.
RICHMOND, May 13.-The United States
Court was pucked this morning. A military
guard was stationed around it, and a strong
police boee inside. About twenty ladies were
among the spectators ; ?Iso fifty negroes. At
I I o'clock, Mr. Davis was brought in mid
took a seat next to tito prisoner's box, with
Cen. Burton und tho Marshal. A servant
accompanied him. Mr. Davis, pitting by uti
open window, remarked ? " Lt ia a little cold,
isn't it V And he was then removed to n
seat near his counsel, in fl'Olst of thc Judges.
Curt .-n's return to thc writ was road, and the
Judge complimented Burton in obeying the
laws, and relieved him of the custody of Mr.
Davis; and the Marshal immediately served
on bim a bench warrant to answer, lit Nor?
folk, an indictment. O'Oonor spoke of Davis'
long imprisonment and feeble health, and
asked that, bc be bailed. There being no Op
position upon the part of ibo prosecution, who
fixed Ihn hail at Sl?U,UUO, tho Judge an
nounced his roudincss to accept the bail, sta- '
ting, al the same time, thal tho responsibility \
of thc delay in bringing Mr. Davis' cast* into
Court rested Upon tho Government, and not
upon thc. District Attorney, Ilonisosnid half
the bail should bo givt ;, hy persons residing
in tho Slate of Virginia. Thc sureties then
came forward, Horace (?recle}' being among
the first, followed by Schell, of New York,
Jackman, of Philadelphia, and others. A
number ?d' gentlemen residing in Virginia
offered I huir name? ns bail. Davis was con
gratulated by several friends, but there was no
demonstra lion or noise Of any kind. After
giving bail to appear nt the November terni
of Court, ho wustakeu in ?coach to thc Spots

As Mt*. Davis came ont of the court house
and entend the carriage, after his release,
there was a loud cheer fiann the crowd of ne
groes outside, and about fifty ol'them gathered
around tho coach ?ml sinai!; hands willi him.
Ile has remained quietly in his hotel all the
evening. Mr. 1). will viait Canada in a day
or two, to see his children. The first mimes
sighed to the bail bund, after that of Jefferson
Davis, is Horace Greeley and Augustus Schell,
of New York, and Cen. Jackman, of Phila

who signed were prominent citizens of Jlioh

lt) be a general feeling of relic f among the cit
izens and tho authorities that Mr. Davis is ut
