Geo. Desha.--The last Ky. Reporter gives the following account of the pardon of notorious Desha.

"We understand that Gov. Desha has pardoned his son Isaac. The power to grant pardons before conviction, though questionable, has been repeatedly asserted and exercised by former Governors of Kentucky, and perhaps other States. The whole of the late term of Harrison Circuit Court was devoted to this case. Nine jurors only were obtained on the last day-the prisoner having exercised, to the extent of the law, the privilege of peremptory challenge. The Judge refused to renew the recognizances of his sureties, or again liberate the prisoner on bail, in consequence, we presume, of the state of his health not requiring such indulgence. The governor being present when the Judge remanded his son Isaac to jail, addressed the people in a speech of considerable length, and concluded by reversing the order of the Court, and setting his son at liberty. We are not informed of any form observed by his Excellency, except the speech, in which it is said he treated the Court with great indignity."
