The reocut references to the trial of Mr. David have called public attention to thia cubjcct, which very natural./ iu a largo degree inteiobted tho public mind. The indictment, in the usual form fur treason, has been found by the .Grand Jury, in tho United States Circuit.Court, at Norfolk. LIr. Davjs is indicted uuder tho act of 1790, ynder which the penalty, on conviction, is death. He could have been iudicted yndor tho act of/uly 31, 1801, for a seditious conspiracy, tho punishment of whluh i& a fine, not over $5,000, and imprisonmnent, with er without hard labor, not over aix years. \/no important point is mo j drawing of tho petit jury who arc charged with the Uialcf tho prisoner. Tho jury is io be drawn according to lot or .otherwise, according to the modo practiced in the {State for sclccliug juries for tho highest /courts of law. The number of jurors to bo summoned is left to the discretion of tho Court, as at coinmou law. The act of July 13, 18C2,repeals so much of tho net of 1789 a3 requires in cases pnnishablo with death that twelve petit jurors bo summoned from the county where the offence was /committed. Under tho net of Juno 17, J8G2, no person is allowed to sit on tbejury -who was iu npy degree of complicity isvith tho rebellion. This is an act of controlling importance, because it insjurei that the trial shall ba before a loyal jury. Mr. I)avis cannot ho tried by any of his confederates. JJis fato will resteniirely with liis political opponents. jury must be Huuuiuiuus, ur more can do no verdict, Has jBxistod time wjjergf J,he memory of man runneth noJt to the contrary. The presiding judge can rule authoritatively on questions of evidenco aji they may aripe in the progress of the trial; but aa the jury alwayp,, in criminal cases, return a general verdict of guilly or not guilty, tliey are practically the judges of tbe low as well aa tlio fact, and there is no appeal froui their decision. Thore liaB never beeu any exception to this principle in the common law except, that in casea of libel it had frequently been determined by the Court of King's Bench that the only question for the consideration of the jury in criminal prosecutions for libel, was the fact of publication and the! truth of J the innuendoes, and that the Court alone was competent to determine whether the publica- j tion waa or was not a libel. And it was for this ruling of Lord Mansfield that the Celebrated JuninB so bitterly attacked Lord Mansfield. Lord ^Camden, the friend of liberty,differed fyora Lord Mansfield,an,d the matter was finally put to rest by the memorable act of Parliment 23, George III., JcnowD as Mr. Fox's act which determined the law againatLord Mansfield's judgment, by expressly recognizing the right of the jury to determine tho facts and laws of the .case by a general yerdict of guilty or not guilty. The trial can only end in one of three ways:?1. By verdict of guilty. 2. By verdict of net guilty,. 3. By the inability pi the jury to agree. It the event of this third alternative arising the first question which will arise it whether Mr.Davis will bo entitled to bail^ The constitut on provides that 'in all criminal prosecutions tho accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial.' I9 determining whether Mr. Davis, after more than a year's close imprisonment, tpould be intitled,in the event of the dis? agreement of the jury, to bo discharged on bail, vould be a question oflegal discretion, to be determined by the judge. By the /celebrated Habeas Corpus aet of 31 Charles II., it was provided, sixth, "that every por3on committed for treason or felony, shall, tf he require it, the first day of the next Bession of Oyer and Terminer, be indicted jn that term or session, or else admitted to bail, nnlesa the king's witnesses cannot be pjoduced; and if not indicted and tried in the second term or session, ho shall be discharged from his imprisonment for such imputed offence." j It ia Dot likely our judges would take a rnoreiavorable'view of the prisonera'a applipation than in the rule furnished by this statute. The serious question would be, how many terms of the court have pa6sed since ?T : n-. -in " mg piiBt/uer wabuiHt arresieu < lA^s CQun~ gel would in alj prpbability contend that by intendment of )aw United States courts were holding their regular terms for the laat twelve month* in the State of Virginla, or at Jca*t slight hay? done ?o, A farther provision of the constitution Epigbt perhaps also, vi the event of a disagreement of the jury, be invoked h> behalf of <be prisoner?that one which sets forth as folio*14:?"JTor ihall any person be 09bject, for A a eame offence, to be twice pu in jeopardy 01 vfe or limb.'' meaning of thia rule 19, th* a defendant is in legal jeopardy is eharg^ wlth ^ deci,ion pf bit caopr But tboogkq^* been * #*? _ m some <ji ii ere nee ot opinion ohtluB point, it pay bo aa&ymafethafc #hen the Jt?y are jSiadnnged from the further and WMrt d^ripiqn-?f ttet^ye, becanio of th?i^ inability fo agtee, the ftaoner pa ay bo held to be, ^ried ajjew. At on* time in Jlngland, jyhjBEO Ihojnry cotild at* agreo oa A. cap* ital case, the judge, instead of discharging thorn at the end of the term, had them carted around tho circuit with hitn. This practice, however, ia exploded. In case, then, of the iuahility of tho jury to agree, the utmost tho prisoner could aak, from that fact alono, would he tho light to bo out of prison on hall. PRUSSIA AND AUSTRIA. Punch describes the difficulty between Austria and Prussia iu these utauzaa: Prussia was a robber, Austria was a thief; Prussia and Austria Stole a Danish fief.

It is given appropos | tp a qnestion raised in the IIouso of Lords as to the competency of the Chief Juatico of Ireland. "This debate." says Dr. "Winslow, "raised the interesting questions, at what particular period of life do the mental powers begin to decline, and when, as a general rule, is first observed the commencement of intellectual decay ? The celebrated phyeiplogist of tbo "University of Montpelier, Dr. Lorbat, maintains that it is the vital, not intellectual, principle that is seen to wane as old ago throws its autumnal tinge over tho green foliage of life. "It is not true," ho says, "Lhat tho intellectual be????? ?l. _ -1 e 1 vvui^o tTWUZkCi ilkWUl lUU VIIill IUICU Utt3 JJ'dfr* sed ila culminating point. Tho understanding acquires more strength during the first half of that period which is designated as old age. It is therefore impossible to assign any period of existence at which the reasoning powers suffer deterioration." I will refer to a few illustrations with tho view of establishing tho fact that great vigor of understanding, brilliancy of wit, and clearness of intellect, are oftog soon ac sociated with advanced age. Jjord Ebon diod at tho age of eighty-sif. He now remained in lull enjoyment of his wonderful intellect until shortly before his death. Lord Kenyon lived to tho ago of seventy. His powers of mind continued np to tho last moment unimpaired. Lord Hardwicke died at seventy-three, in the full possession of his great understanding. Lord Stowell lived to the age of ninety.

Numerous other illustrations could bo cited to establish that tho meutal powers do not necessarily decay as old ago advance's. "Wo must therefore, to repeat the language of Lord Chelmsford, "bo a litilo cautious in measuring tho mental capacity of old ago."

Mr. William Swinton, army correspondent of the New York Times, hns published a book untitled "Campaigns of tho Army of tho Potomac"?it being a critical history of that army's operations in Virginia, Maryland nnd Pennsylvania from iho beginning to tho close of tho war. Tlio book lt*>e ?Af ?A* *>onfl linrn lillf IVA find iiv/b JCV VVUiO IV UMHU HV?V ?? w ?? ? sotne interesting extracts from it in a critique by the Times' editor, which may prove interesting to our readers. "Gon. Leo (says tho Times) receives ample share of praise for generalship. Gen. Grant is sel lower down thau the popular judgment is disposed to put him. Due credit, however, is given in his self possession and tenacity.'' After tho Wilderness, Mr. Swiuton says: "There is much in that commander's i temper that rccalls the old marshal whom j his soldiers named "Marshal Forwarts and as Ulucher, in the great campaign in France, thai ended in the capitulation of Napoleon, would henr of nothing hut marching straight on Paris, so Grunt, his eyes fixed immovably on Richmond as tho goal of all his ellbrU, tho prize ho resolved to seizo, through whatever seas of blood lie might have to wade, pronounced the magisterial word 'Forward 1' When daikne&s cainc tho columns began their march for Spotsylvania." His conclusion with regard to MeClellan is remarkable : "Ho was assuredly not a great general; for ho bad tho pedantry of war rather than tho inspiration of war. His talent was eminently that of the Cabinet; and his proper place was in Washington, where ho should havo remained as General-in-Chief. Hero his ability to plan campaigns and form largo slrategio combinations, which was remarkable, would havo had full scope; and ho would have been considerate aud helpful to thoso in the field. But his power as a tactician was much inferior to his talent as a strategist, and ho executed less boldly than ho conceivcd; not appeariug to know well those counters with which a commander must work?time, placo and circumstances. Yet ho was improving in this regard, and was liko Turenno, of whom Napoleon said that lie was the only exaraplo of a general who grew bolder as he grew older. * * * Of liini it may be said that if ho does not belong to that foremost cntegory of commanders mado up of those who have always been successful, and including but a few illustrious names, neither docs he rank with that numerous class who have ruined their armies without fighting, lie ranges with that middlo category of meritorious commanders who, like Sertorious, Wallenstcin and William of Orange, generally unfortunate in war, yet were, in the words of Marmount, "never destroyed or discouraged; but were always able to oppose a menacing front, and make the enemy pay dear for what he gained." Of one of his favorites. Stonewall .Tnr-V son, Mr. Swinton, describing bis fall at Chanccllorsville, writes: "As tbe dying Napoleon is recorded to bavc murmured, lTele d'armceso Jackson, hi.s unconscious mind still busy with the migbty blow he was executing when wounded, breathed out bis life in the order, A.

The term is often used as a collective designation of the Southern States. A correspondent or the '-New Orleans DoN tn, has givon the following account of the origin and early application of the name: "I do not wish lo spoil a pretty illusion ; but tho real truth js that JJixie is an indigenous Northern negro refrain, as common to tho writer as lamp-posts in New York city seventy or sevcuty-fivo years ago It was one of the cvery-day allusions of boys at that time, in nil their out?door sports. And no ono ever heard of Dixie's Land being oilier than Manhattan Island until recently, when it lias been erroneously supposed to refer to the South, from ils connection willi pathetic negro allegory. When slavery existed in New York, ono ' 'Dixy1' owned a large tract of land on Manhattan ! Island, and a largo number of slaves. The ! increaso of the slaves and tho increase of tho Abolition sentiment caused an eini<rra- ! tion of tho slaves to more thorough and so- : euro alavo sections; and the negroes who i woro tints scut olY (many being born there) J naturally looked back to their old homes, whore they had lived in clover, with feelings of regret, as they coul'* not imagine any place like Dixie's. ^ uco it became synonituous wilh an ideal locality combining case, comfort, and material happiness of every description. In those days negro singing and minitrelev were to their infancy, and any subject that could be wrought into a ballad was eagerly picked up. This was the cft60 with "Dixie." It originated in New York, and assumed the proportions of a eong there. In its travels has boon onenlarged, and has "gathered moss." It has picked up a note hero and there. A chorus has bean added to it; and, from an indistinct chant of two or throe notes, it has become an r?Irthriritf? mJn.lir Tinf j tho fact that it is not a Southern song cannot bo rubbod out. Tho fallacy is so popular to tlio contrary that 1 havo boon at pains to stalo real origin of it." A pert little girl bonated to ono of hor little friends that "hor father lcept a car> riage." "Ah, but," wa3 tho triumphant reply, my father drives an omnibus." A Partizau paper says "It is a mistake that tho (opposite) party plays upon a harp of a thousand strings.
