Newberry. Samuel Drouthitt, Greenville C. H. . Wm. Moore, Abbeville C. H. Julius Poppe, Anderson C. H. The Trial or Mr. Uai U. We published yesterday an account of the steps taken by the District Court of Norfolk to secure the in? dictment of Mr. Davis for treason. In advance of these steps, we felt as? sured that the proposed trial of Mr. Davis before Mr. Justice Underwood, would bo but an idle mockery, be? cause his conviction and sentence to the gallows was clearly a foregone conclusion on the part of that official and those who had instigated the proceedings. Nor are we surprised to hear of the special vindictiveness and malice which this mau, clothed with the functions of a minister of justice, has just displayed against his native. Statt* We Snow that he belongs to the class of "Barterers," Bbrao of whom the poet tells us he saw in the lower regions. Hence wo see that in | delivering his "charge" to the jury at Norfolk, he was not addressing him self to those counterfeit Virginians, but to his countrymen of Massachu- j setts; it was for their benefit that he so highly commended the "culture and refinement" of his adopted home, iu contrasting disparagement with the "vice, ignorance and poverty of Virginia. " The intention manifested in this portion of his "charge" is suf? ficiently venomous. But we dismiss the accusation agaiust us, conscious that our State needs uo defence, when contrasted with Massachusetts. Tried before this spiteful barterer of country. and justice, Mr. Davis will need no more effective counsel than bis own mute, hon est presenco on the stand. He will stand there undismayed, ia no maudlin expecta? tion of clemency from the Jacobin Judge or the blood-thirsty pack be? hind him. He will stand there pro? nounced innocent by a whole world, persecuted by a political psity, "which would disgrace any land but the Northern States of America, who so ardently seek his blood. For no other "crime" is it sought to make of Mr. Davis the victim of his people than the fact that he acted at their behest, and it is now desired by our bloody antagonists to insult the whole South iu this individual execution. Serving only as au instru? ment by which his countrymen ac? complished their design of secession, he is declared the only ono. of them guilty! But in vain would we plead for justice with those who have made up their minds to disregard all justice, all truth, with those who annulled a constitution and destroyed a republic in order that they might rule, and who are ever exclusively occupied with their selfish interests. Fortu? nately for Mr. Davis and for the coun? try, there is a just man at the head of the Government, who will see that he is uot ?nade a victim to radical hate and vengeance. I Richmond Exam iner. THE CROPS.-During the past week we have conversed with planters from all sections of tho District, and re? gret to learn that there is an almost universal complaint relative to the cotton plaut. With some the defec? tive seed have failed to germinate, whilst others represent the cotton as up, but looking yellow and sick. The farmers are despondent, and fear that tiiey will not realize more tuan a third of a crop. Wheat and oats, however, are looking fine, and a haudsome yield is anticipated. And now that the heavy rains seem to have ceased, corn is improving, and will, with proper attention, soon get over the back-set from the recent exces? sive rains. - -Edgefield Advertiser. THK FREEDMEN'S BUREAU.-The Buffalo Courier says: "Every unpre? judiced account from the South agrees in the declaration that the Freedmen's Bureau is the great ob? stacle to the complete reconstruction of Southern society, and there should be a great popular movement to abo? lish it."
