Dr. Wir.disoh?the ' W " in German is always pronounced like our V "?lie will be a Professor next y?-ar in the Uoiveraity, and is highly esteemed for his Warning and Worth. There are two others in the cleat besides my?elf; one an American, the other a Gorman.

The Utter has been notorious for bio partisan radical zeal, and, it may be supposed, could hardly be free from prejudice, where the rights of aucb men as Jurttsox Davie are concerned. The grounds on which ths motion to quash the Indictment was made is a new one in tkft history of ths case, and has taken the oountry with some surprise ; it is this; Mr. O'Co.vnob, and the other counsel for Davis, urged that the fourteenth ainead** ment of the Constitution having been adopted, which affiroi a punishment on Mr. Davis and others of disfranchisement, for engaging in the late war against the United States, neither he or others can now be tried and punished over again in a different and additional manoer by the eouria of the United States; the Copslitiktion and Bill of Rights prohibiting all men front being twice punished for the same offence ; and thai the Fourteenth Amend' inent was " a Constitutional provision, and fhnee whe fell under it were now suffering punishment." The question is to be settled by the Supreme Coart, and in the meantime the ease of Mr. Davis is oontinued to Ihe Mey Term. We infer, judging from the difference in the two naen, Cwash end UananwooD, as well aa on the merits of the ease, that the Supreme Court will sustain the Opinion of Chief Jusliee Chask, and that the indictment will be quashed.
