%\t f nn. SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1865. The Trial of the Conspirators. It is deeply to be regretted, while the nation is demanding a thorough investiga tion Of the most fearful crime of history, and while Europe, sympathizing with our sorrow, re-echoes our detestation of its guilty authors, and our desire for their de tection and punishment, that a portion of the loyal press of the country should vio lently denounce the Military Commission which the Government has, for wise rea sons, selected for the trial of the subordi nate confederates of the assassins. We are living in an era which should make every honest heart resolve to— <■ put on manly readiness And question this most bloody piece of work To know It further. 11l deeds are seldom slow, £or single. Dread horrors still abound. Onr oountry weeps— lt bloods; and each new day A gash la added to her wounds.» In the most ordinary criminal trials it is not unusual, at the request of counael, to adopt measures to prevent witnesses from learning the testimony of their associates, and the ends of justice are often signally served by such precautions. Where the 'ramifications of a crime extend over a continent, and where the results of a trial may affect the destiny of a nation, surely there is good reason for adopting the only practicable mode of ensuring the secrecy that may prove of incalculable ser vice. It must be remembered too, that the investigation now progressing at Washing ton will not merely determine the guilt of the parties who are on actual trial, but that it will lead to such disclosures as will ena ble the whole world to judge of the validity of the fearful indictment that has been for mally made against Davis and his agents in Canada. But we do not wish to enumerate justifi cations of the course of the Government. It is only fair to ask for it the <*>.uaaence and support, of f - I ’■ n.merican people. The tuen who counselled and who are conduct ing this proceeding are of the highest Character. They have no ulterior purposes to serve, and no possible harm can result from the course they have adopted. No one need fear that a Bingle innocent man will be condemned, ot that one iota of undeserved punishment will be inflicted. If the general belief that Paine attempted to assassinate Secretary Seward, that Harold was the accessory of Booth, that Alzeroth was hired to assassinate Presi dent Johnson, that Mrs. Subatt was an active assistant of the ■ villain who has already been overtaken by retributive justice, is unfounded, their innocence will be as readily established before a Military Commission as before a Criminal Court. We hazard nothing in the prediction, however, that the trial will not merely satisfy the country of the guilt of. the sub ordinate criminals, but that it will establish such a record against the distant and power ful instigators of this fearful plot as wilt justify the mode of procedure that has been adopted. When the Chief Magistrate of the nation Was Stricken down before the eyes of thou, sands of his fellow-citizens, and when, a similar fate was assigned to his successor, a state of public danger was developed which warrants the authorities in using the most diligent efforts to probe the hidden secrets of the conspiracy. No sentimen tal clamor should be heeded where the world demands a full history of this gigan tic crime. Those who confessedly have the best information on this whole subject have chosen a method of conducting this investigation which they have judged to be both right and expedient; and when the nation learns the whole story of the mur der of Abraham Lincoln, they will ap prove and applaud the measures taken to detect and punish his assassins. The Mediae of Geldi Gold is declining more rapidly tliau it ever advanced. There is no good reason why it should command a premium. The only causes of the original depreciation of greenbacks were doubts of the result of the contest and fears that it might be indefi nitely protracted, or that the resources of the nation would be insufficient to repay its heavy expenditures. These doubts and fears have been removed. Capitalists estimate the credit of governments as care fully as they do that of individuals, and ia a free market make their charges for dis count correspond with the risks they incur; but they cannot maintain exorbitant and unjustifiable rates? As the prospects of a successful issue have brightened, and as the ability of the country to honor all the drafts of men and money necessary to CTUShthe rebellion has been more and more cleariy demonstrated, the premium on gold has declined to an almost nominal sum. But the eame reasons which have made it fall from 290 to 130, must finally make it fall to 100. The solvency of the Govern ment, and its ability to maintain its credit are undoubted. Its currency admirably serves all the requirements of domestic commerce, and at the rate at which the National Loan is being taken, the whole National Debt can be funded in a few months, and specie payments resumed by the Federal Treasury, if such a policy should be deemed advisable. There is plenty of gold in the country to anßwerall legitimate purposes—the amount being, it is supposed, greater now than when the war commenced. One of its most important uses, that of being equally current as a circulating medium in all sec tions of the Union, is more conveniently aid ed by the new national currency. Those Who have been hoarding it away in the hope of getting an exorbitant premium, or, in the fear of such disasters as would make it the only valuable money of the land, now see the fallacy of their calculations, and will soon he glad to rid themselves of a burden some and inconvenient charge by deposit ing it in banks, or putting it into general circulation. It is gratifying to reflect that, in a more pecuniary point of view, patriot ism has proved the best policy. Those who, in the darkest hours of National cre dit, when prices were most inflated, sub scribed for the Government loan, paid in gold hut half of what their bonds in gold would sell for now. And those who ope rated financially on the theory of National ruin have learned a new meaning of the legend that “the man recovered of the bite—it was the dag that died.” The Country and the Clergy. The suppression of the slaveholders’ re bellion, under God, the country owes, primarily, to its army and navy. These carnal weapons, however, had moral auxi liaries, Whose importance it would not be possible to over-state, among which latter the press occupies a distinguished place. In every part of the land, the pen, often mightier than the sword, was wielded by loyal journalists with wonderful efficiency. A mighty agency, likewise, was the popu lar forum, from which orators and states men, in breathing thoughts and burning words, have upheld the cause of free go government. And a lasting debt of grati tude, too, does the country owe to the pulpit- Here and there, it is true, even Christian ministers have been found so de linquent of duty as not only to fraternize with traitors, hut who have proceeded even to such an excelling height of im piety as to exhibit proof of this fraterni zation in unmistakable utterances from the sacred desk. Others, under the dominion of that “ftar of man” which “flringeth a snare," have, -through the whole of this terrible crisis, managed to maintain an ignoble silence. This class of preachers the Scriptures stigmatize as “ dumb dogs ” a class of canines, who, even when the thief is invading the premises, and carrying away the master’s goods, will neither hark nor bite, nor otherwise discharge their duty to those whose bread they eat. To the lasting credit of the pulpit, how ever, be it spoken, this class of dumb sen tinels, among our Northern clergymen, at least, has not constituted the rule, but the rare exception. The great body of them have proved faithful sentinels on the watch towers. When the incendiary was about to apply the torch to the citadel, they have not hesitated to “ cry aloud and spare not.” Bisihg to the full measure of their solemn responsibilities, from the inauguration of the rebellion to its close, they have proved to the imperilled country a very wall of defence. Correctly discriminating between mere partisan politics and loyalty to coun try, they have championed the cause ot the latter with unabated energy and zeal. Our brave soldiers they have cheered with fer vent prayer and earnest encouragement. To the necessities of the sick, the wounded, and the dying, they have ministered with total self-abnegation. To the support of their families, in their absence, none have more generously contributed; and the wi dows and fatherless children of the fallen have had no better earthly benefactors. And these offices of patriotic dtlty, let it be borne in mind, some have discharged amidst the coldest indifference of rebel sympathizers, and others at the cost of heavy personal and pecuniary sacrifice. All honor, then, we say, to our noble clergy! Most weighty and solemn have been their responsibilities; most wisely and nobly have they been met and dis charged. _ LETTER FROM “OCCASIONAL.” Washington, May 12, 1865. When the emissaries of Jefferson Davis, Stephens, Campbell, and Hunter, asked for an interview with Mr. Seward, and subse quently conferred with the Secretary of State and the President himself, one of the points upon which they mainly relied—as the recognition of the rebellion and the phantom of Southern independence were denied—was to propose the Monroe doc trine as the platform upon which both sec tions could unite and forget their griefs, and join in for the alleged driving Maxi milian out ■of Mexico. Indeed, I think it will appear that such a suggestion was distinctly intimated by these agents of the f.raltoio, ana was firmly and prompt ly declined. Among the thousand in trigues of Mason and Slidell at London and Paris, to secure practical aid from the English and French Governments, that in reference t o the Monroe doctrine was made a constant text by them. It was used both ways. Sometimes they asserted that our National Government intended to offer it to the South as an inducement to bring the rebels back ; and, when this bait was cold ly put aside by Napoleon, it was held up as a sort of threat that they themselves would proffer the Monroe doctrine as the simple condition of their submission to the authority of the regular Government of the United States! Jefferson Davis him self stood ready to make such use of this doctrine as would help him, and if Mr. Lin coln had seemed to yield in the slightest manner to the suggestions thrown out by Stephens and Hunter, a secret messenger would have been despatched to Paris to in form Louis Napoleon that such had been the case, and that Davis had peremptorily declined to close the arrangement made by his agents with Mr. Lincoln. I am glad to see, therefore, that there is such a just appreciation of this whole ques tion among sensible men and news papers, in view of the projected emi gration associations in the different cities. These organizations hear a very close re lationship—l will not say to the plans of the rebels, but undoubtedly to the idea favored in some quarters to precipitate a conflict between the French authorities in Mexico and this Government, if such a col lision could be possible. The plan of em pire in Mexico is one thing, and the plot of armed emigration, made up from the disbanded Union soldiers, is quite another. On the first we can afford to reserve judg ment and action, but on the second there ought to be but one opinion among in telligent and truly conservative men. Emigration will pursue its natural course. It cannot be bribed or driven; and, therefore, it Will not of Itself go into a country distracted by war, and even in peace rent asunder by conflicts between a mixed race and foreign invaders. The broad plantations of the South, conquered or confiscated —tlio free territories of the Northwest—the splendid savannas of Cali fornia—the valleys of Oregon and Wash ington Territories —not to speak of the millions of acres in regularly organized free States along the Mississippi—these are the domains to which those in sympathy with our institutions from other lands Will flock for shelter and for equal ity. The time is not now for the enforce ment of the Monroe doctrine. We are not yet able to decide whether Napoleon will be powerful enough to hold Maximilian upon the throne of Mexico, nor can we di vine whether, before the experiment is half attempted, he himself may not be called from the scene in which he is still so conspicuous a character. I can see in the future, probably at the end of the next generation, a tide of emigration into 55 exico, but it will hare first passed through the alem bic of our American education , bo that it will be prepared when it enters upon other fields to redeem, purify, and forever main tain that upon which it has planted its standard. Occasional. Attacks on tfie Military Commission. [From the Washington Chronicle of yesterday,] In taking a retrospect of Mr. Lincoln’s Administration it may be safely said that not a single measure, including those adopted by himself in the desperate exi gency of the first hours of the rebellion, was successful or permitted to operate with out being ridiculed and held back from its inception to its triumph. Nearly the same leaders, with some honorable exceptions, are engaged in the same business row, when, in order to detect and punish the most atrocious assassination and attempted murder in many centuries, Mr. Lincoln’s heroic successor, Andrew Johnson, is exert ing his authority, and calling to his aid the eminent men of the nation. This is a some what disheartening spectacle to the public man who looks for the support of the people he honestly Berves. These partisans knew that every step assumed by Mr. Lincoln was taken in conscience, and vindicated in the result; that to him and his policy the country was indebted for the overthrow of a stupendous and savage assault upon the public and private liberties; and that the interests of all were saved and secured alone by his interposition and the influences he summoned to support. But even over his grave, though they dare not deny the truth of what we say, and as they mingle their false lamentations with the sorrow ing of the people of every civilization, they csmplain because his successor has acted firmly, boldly, and promptly against the assassins, and talk of “ violated law ” and “trial by jury,” and rail at “secret tri bunals,” precisely as they did at emancipa. lion, arbitrary arrests, arming the negroes, &c. If it is any consolation to these safe and fastidious critics, who live and luxuriate under a Government they constantly de preciate, they may take the fact to their souls, that as everything they opposed and obstructed before was followed by bless ings to all classes, and sanctified, by the regcue of the Republic and the extinction of human slavery, so what is being done now to consign to the severest punishment that offended Jußtice can inflict upon mur derers and traitors will be sternly accom plished, and will be recorded in history as the fulfilment of the most honorable and imperative duties on the part of the Execu tive by Andrew Johnson. Since the above has been put in type, we have received and read the New York papers of yesterday. In two of the moßt influential, both of them friendly to Presi dent Johnson’s Administration, we find the severest censure of what, are called secret trials, having direct reference to the case of the assassins. All this is a matter of taste, and doubtless of principle, on the part of our cotempoxaries, but that it may seriously interfere with the operations of the military commission we think is beyond dispute. Suppose 1 it were made clear to those who are anxious to have the assassins punished, that if the names of certain witnesses with their testimony were given to the public, these witnesses would not only be in peril of their lives, but the persons im plicated and prepared for punishment enabled to escape ; would there Not be some reason for refusing to throw the doors of the court open ? If, however, this consi deration has no effect upon our friends in New Yorltj and they steadily re fuse to perceive how, in their anxiety to maintain what they conceive to be a principle, they may unconsciously assist the very worst and last phase of rebel ha tred. Do they not suppose that some con fidence should be given to the President of the United States ; to Joseph Holt, the in corruptible Judge Advocate General; and to that intrepid war minister, who, from the beginning of his administrative ca reer, has had but one object in view, and that the destruction of the rebellion and the restoration of the Union ? Can they conceive it possible that Andrew Johnson, Without fall knowledge of the facts upon which he acted, would have issued his proclamation? May not the secrets of this dreadful 'transaction be so terrible in themselves as to render it impossible to open wide the’ doors to curiosity at the present time, lest the whole ends of public justice should be defeated? We have a supreme admiration for the freedom of the press. We know the ability and the influence of our associates In New York, but we also know that in many of the seve ral trials of the present Administration, when certain strong measures, since vindicated by results, had to be adopted to save the nation’s life, some of the most in jurious and hasty criticisms came from the powerful dally journals in our great com mercial metropolis. President Johnson's Administration has no anxiety in this crisis beyond the preservation of the public liber ties, the protection of the loyal citizen, in all his just rights, and such a chastisement and punishment of the authors of an assas sination that has made the whole civilized world mourn as will be remembered while time endures. A btatbbkht of the Issues of the seven-thirty bonds Is now circulating through the newspapers, whose Inaccuracies we are requested to correct. Congress Ih July, 1864, authorised the Secretary of the Treasury to borrow four hundred millions In such form as he deemed best. Of this amount, $100,000,040 was Issued as 1040 a, $70,000,00 as 6-20 s, and the balance, $230,000,000, as T-303. On the 3d of March, 1865, Congress authorized a further loan of six hundred millions. Seventy minions ot this was taken and added to the $230,000,000 of eerOh-tblrMes Issued under the aot of July, 1804, to round It up to three hundred millions. This made the first series of the 7-30 loan. This left $030,000,000 unissued of the amount authorized by the last aot. The issue of three hundred millions of It as T-30S was directed by the Secretary of the Treasury. Their sale com menced on the Ist of April last. This was the second series of the 7-30 loan. Its sate was averaged between eight and nine millions per day. Only abont $35,000,0000 of It remain this 12th day of May. When It is sold there will be left at the dis posal of the Secretary of the Treasury, under the aot of March 8, 1866, $230,000,000. It Is presumed that this amount will be Issued In the shape of a third series of the 7-30 loan, payable three years from the 15th of October next. Movpments on Chief Justice Chaff.—Pri vate letters dated Beaufort, 7th Inst., say that Chief Justice Ohase and party aad arrived there, and were storm-stayed at Fort Macon, where the vessel bearing General Sherman was also lying, waiting for the gales to subside. Mr. Chase expected to leave there as soon as possible for Wilmington, and thence to Havana. There were many oonrtesles in terchanged between the two vessels. Sherman 1b represented as muoh annoyed by the oomments of the press on his diplomacy with Johnston. $13,762,300.

WASHINGTON. WASHIHUTOir, May IS, 1865. oriNION OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL —THE APPOINTMENT OF ASSISTANT ASSESSORS. Attorney General Spbbd having duly oonsldervd the Important and Interesting questions by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, touch ing the recent legislation of Congress wlthreforonee to the office of Assistant Assessor of Internal Reve nue, and whloh were submitted to him by Secretary McCullough, expresses his opinion for the reasons given: First. That the provisions of the aot of 1865, vest- Ing the power of appointing assistant assessors in the respective assessors, is dearly unconstitutional. Second. That the President la by the Oonstitu. tion vested with authority to appoint assistant as. secsors under the existing circumstances when Con gress creates snob offices and omits to provide for the appointments to them, or provides in an nncon. Etltntlonal way for such appointments, the officers are within the meaning of the Constitution, •• Officers oi the United States whose appointments are not therein otherwise provided for.” The honor oi appointing such officers devolve on the Presi dent. Assistant assessors under the views here ex. pressed are within that class. The provisions In the aot of lses tonohlng these officers being null and void, and the aot of 1864, to the extent just mentioned, being repealed, there is In effect no existing legisla tion which confers on any pnblle authority the power of appointing those officers. The constitu tional power of the President is In this emergency called Into exercise, and he alone has authority to commission the assistant assessors. Third. As to whether it is the duty of the Presi dent to exercise the power of appointment in the case of these officers, the Attorney General says if the President should be of the opinion that ha possesses the power constitutionally to make the appointments, it is clearly his duty to exerolse that p6v?62. Ho says, in conclusion of the argument, 11 it will be observed, let me remark, that the action of the President in appointing to the office in question will not preolnde or affect jndloial Inquiry aud de cision on the points that have been presented. If two persons should claim the authority of exercising in any assessment district the office of assistant assessor, one by appoint ment of the President and the other by appoint ment of the assessor, the question would he then peculiarly one fot judicial determination, whether either and whloh of said persons was en titled to exercise the office—hut I apprehend that, practically, no such contestation will arise. I un derstand that heretofore the assessors have vir tually exercised the power of appointing their as sistants, and It is not improbable that the Presi dent, if he oommlsslens the offleers, will adopt sub stantially the same conrse as that pursued under the act of 1864 by the Secretary of the Treasury. IHTBRNAIi REVENUE DECISION. AS some confusion oonp.eralßg certain deductions, the following, obtained from the bttMW of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, may settle the difficulty. The amount paid oat for In surance and for usual and ordinary repairs upon build legs and land not exceeding the average paid (or such repairs for the preceding five years, may he deducted from one’s income in malting his return. This rule Is applicable not only to property renters, but to the property occupied by the taxpayer—for Instance, if the total repairs for five years have been $5OO, the deduction for this year oannot exceed $lOO, although the expenditure may be greater. Permanent improvements or betterments made to Increase the value of the property cannot be de ducted. Governor Pibrfokt will next week remove his government from Alexandria to Richmond. TBK INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITIONS —A PISH EXHIBITION IN NOB WAV—THE PORTUGAL EXHIBITION. „ The State Department has been offielaUy informed that the International exhibition, to be held at Ber gen, Norway, next summer, will embraoe fish of all hinds,from the whale te the minnow, fishing tsokle, produce and preservators of fish, models of ships’ boats, barrels, boxes, eta. As the subject can not fall to prove Interesting to the fishing and trading communities of New England, the United States Minister at Stockholm trusts the enterprise and ingenuity of hfs oountrymen will contribute to the attraction of the occa sion. An official notice Is also published iu relation to the International Exhibition at Oporto, Portugal Spaoe has been allotted in the building for products of American manufactures and Industry, and an In vitation Is extended to forward samples of suoh pro ducts intended to be placed lu the Crystal Palace la time to reach their destination and hs properly ar ranged before the opening of tho exhibition, which will probably take place some time In August next and oontlnuo till the end of the present year. PASSPORTS, Seven hundred passports were Issued by the State Department during April. The present month, however, promises a larger number, three hundred and sixty-seven passports having been Issued up to last night, the majority of which were to Germans, who propose visiting their homes for the purpose of prevailing on their friends and relatives to re turn with them and avail themselves of the fine op portunities soon to be presented at the South for Improving their condition.

It is not known whether the other prisoners have yet procured counsel. The prisoners are all humanely treated, and provided with all necessary comforts, bnt are subject to close custody. THE HARRIS COURT MARTIAL Conclusion of the Trial and Adjonru- Washihgton, May 12.— The oourt martial for tho trial of Benjamin G. Harris,'member of Congress from Maryland, charged with violating the 58th ar ticle of war, In harboring rebel soldiers, resumed pro ceedings to-day. General Sharpe was sworn as a witness, and in reply to the questions of the Judge Advooate and the oonnsel for the accused, stated that he was de" slgnated by General Grant to reoolve the duplicate rolls or General Leo’s army, which he did, and had with him the roll 3 of the men reported for parole of Corse’s brigade of Flekett’s division, to whloh the 32d "Virginia Regiment belonged. He did not find the names of either Sergeant Chapman or Private Bead oh the rolls, and from the evidence of these papers he oould not say whether the two men re ferred to were paroled or net. He had other evldexoe, however, which he believed would show that Chap man was paroled. The latter statement was objected to as being in ttedneed as evidence by the oonnsel for the aecosea. Tho witness, resuming, said the rolls furnished the nameß of only2Co men of Corse’s Brlgado, 12 of Whloh were of the 32d Regiment, representing companies A, O, E, F, H, I, and E; Company K< to which Chapman and Bead professed to belong, had only the names of a oorporal and two privates. The rolls were furnished by the commanding officers , of Lee’s army, but many of the commands were so disintegrated as to render It Impossible to specif; the different commands, as,for Instance, the corps of. Lieutenant General Early at the time of Its surren der was commanded by a Lieutenant Colonel. An attempt had also been made about that time to reorganize Lee’s army, and this had produced so much confusion that many of the officers dll not know to what commands they belonged. A. P. Hill’s corps had been merged Into other commands, and at the time of the surrender did not exist. Besides, just previous to tho surrender a number of men had left Lee’s army for various reasons,soruo to procure food, and ethers to escape,and after the terma were signed. These men came back in large numbers to avail themselves of the liberal terms offered. On return ing they would find that their own particular com mands had left Appomattox Court House. Some of the troops were also abandoned by their general officers almost immediately after the surrender, leaving their men to shift for "themselves, thereby compelling ns to adopt the principle of permitting men to be taken np by any commanding officer and he paroled. General Lee’s provost marshal, Major Briifcrd, took np a great many, and General Fite Lee, upon coming In, detailed his assistant adjutant genera), Captain Coxe,wlth our permission, to take up the men of all commands and parole them. Be fore that, in very numerous Instances, when men had reported to be paroled, stating that they had no officers, they were sent baok to the lines or the enemy with a note authorizing any eommandlng officer to take them np and parole them. A large number of men of Leo’s army were pa roled at Appomattox Oourt House, but at Lynch burg and along tho South-side Railroad the original papers were signed by the convention on both sides, and included in the ten&B of surrender all troops operating with the Arm; of Virginia on the Bth ult. He made these statements to show that a man’s name need not necessarily be fouhd on the rolls of his regiment, and afterward ir.a man desired to obtain any favor as a paroled prisoner he' must make reference; himself as to where his name Is to bo found. There were men paroled at Appomattox Conn House whoso names were not on the rolls be cause the rolls had not been forwardad to General Lee. Several days before the surrender a large portion of Pickett’s division was captured, In cluding General Corse, commanding the brigade to wbloh the 32d Virginia Regiment belonged, and yet tbe surrender there were found remaining in the division only five officers—oneßurgeiifi, one captain, and .three lieutenants. Tho rolfo of officers were intended to be made by brigades, bnt the disintegra tion was bo great that these five were all the offi cers of the division left, including tha brigade etnas. General Field’s division was the only one of Long street’s oorps that was found In decent shape. The facilities afforded by the ■ Confederate officers to oarry out the system of parole was very deficient, Tho fact that the names of Chapman and Read were not on the rolls of their rftjflffloat was no proof ' that they wore not paroled. If the men were present he could no doubt soon find their names on other rolls. The Judge Advocate claimed that the examina tion of the rolls showed they could not be regarded as competent testimony. The witness had shown that It was only unnecessary for.the names of Chap man and Bead to be on the roll 3 of their regimont It paroled, bnt that It was very probable that they were on other rolls. As the rolls were [lntroduced by the defence to discredit the testimony of the witnesses, Chapman and Bead, after the examination, he felt Impelled to reject them as evidence. The counsel for the accused Insisted that If the men had been with their commands at the date of the surrender their names would appear on the rolls. The witness, resuming said that the rolls op Fichett’s division were made oat a week alter the surrender. Therowaßa great desire on the part of the Confederates to get away at onoe, and many started without waiting for paroles, In order to he tho first t° pass through the sections where forage and subelstoeoe might be obtained, When the aom mlssloners first went to Piekett’S division, they could do nothing, as there was ho one left to look after. The oonnsel held that the court should decide whether the witnesses, Chapman and Bead, were paroled soldiers or not. The roils did not show It, and he challenged the court to prove It. The court was cleared for deliberation, and on reopening the Judge Advocate stated that the oourt had decided to admit a oopy of the rolls as evidence. Hr. Harris then proceeded to read his defence to the court, stating that he was in no way connected with the land or naval feKff of the United States, and that he had not committed any offence. He had not harbored the prisoners, and It had been proven that they did not lodge at the house In which they Etated they had. He said that they had stated to him they were paroled prisoners, and asked for lodging. He being actuated by a desire to get rid of them, and knowing their poverty, gave each of them one dollar to pay lor a lodging at the hotel to which he told them to return. The defence having closed, the testimony was read over, and after a brief deliberation with closed doors the court forwarded their judgment to the Judge Advocate General, and adjourned sine die. The deelsion will probably be published In gene ral orders next week. THE IBUI OF MBS. FJSRBINE. TBS PROSECUTION AND DEFENCE BOTH OLO3BD, ■Washington, May is.—The trial of Bessie Per rlne, of Baltimore, was resumed to-day before the oourt martial of which General Chapman Is Presi dent, ft&i Ooional CKitpmOn Judge Aflvooate. She Is charged with assisting the rebel S&Valrjr In plun dering the train between Baltimore and Philadel phia during the raid of Gen. Early, last summer. Among the witnesses for the proseoutlon was Hr. A. C. Perry, who was on the train at the time of the capture. He testified that when the passengers were ordered to leave the oars he Eaw Mrs. Perrlne shaking hands with the rebels, and seemed very much pleased. She also pointed towards a trank, which the rebels broke open. Clarke Fisher, first assistant engineer In the navy, not only saw Mrs. Perrlne welcome the rebels, but kiss one of them. She said she TM glad they had oome, and that She had expeoted them. Pointing to some baggage, she told the rebels ft belonged to a Yankee officer, After the passengers were taken on the gunboat, the witness said to a friend he was surprised to see a lady on the boat who had welcomed the rebels and kissed them. The lady heard the remark, and replied that among the rebels were members of some of the first families of Baltimore. He heard a rebel offleer tell the accused they expeoted to be in Baltimore the next day and would caU npon her, and that they would take care of her baggage. The evldenoe for the proseoutlon having closed, witnesses were oalled for the defence; among them Mrs. Harper, who said she left Baltimore In company With Mrs. Perrlne. They were going to Newport,!!.

The latter left her Infant, eighteen months old, with tho nurse, while she went down to look after the bag gage. The Gllmors and some others who were with the rebels were generally known In Baltimore. Mrs. Perrlne offered ber fan and some cologne to a slok Federal soldier who was lying in the grove. A Federal officer, who conversed with Mrs. Perrlne, stated ttlftt the passengers on the train wore very mnoh eXClted, and thought she wad Implicated with the rebels in breaking open the trunks. ■Witnesses were produced to show the nervous and excitable temperament of Mrs. Perrlne, In order to account for her exhlleration at the time of the cap ture of the train by the rebels. The defence then closed. Danbury, conn., May IS.—A tornado visited this seotlon last evening.

All the railroads centering here are In operation some distance from the oity, with the single ex ception of the York Elver road. The Petersburg road is running through under direction and oharge of the United States military railroad establish ment. The Danville road is running under the same superintendence as far as Borkesvllle, and between that point and Danville under the manage ment of the railroad company. The Central has ran trains out to Bumpaes Station, about forty five miles. This company, it Is understood, are managing their own road, and repairing It as rapidly as possible, with a view to an early resump tion of business throughout its entire extent to Washington, via the Orange and Alexandria Boad. The Fredertokßburgroad is running to South Anna, and construction parties are at work beyond there to Fredericksburg, to whioh point the company will very roon be prepared to operate the line. It Ib anticipated, however, that the Government will make nse of this lino for direot communication with Washington, to accomplish which it will doubtless have to reconstruct that portion of the line from Fredericksburg to Aqula Creek.

If a new election is ordered, Governor Vance’s friends, who compose the wealth and aristocracy of the State, say they will ran him against Mr. Holden on the gradual emancipation platform, and are confident of suocess. ■ The order of General Soiiofield, proclaiming freedom to the slaves of the State, has created a gnat sensation here and elsewhere, as It was unexpected by the leading slaveholders, who hoped to hold on to them under the gradual emancipation system.

Eev. W. H. Ryder, D. D., pastor of the First Unlversallst Church in Chicago, paid a visit to the doomed city of Richmond Immediately after its evacuation by the rebel hordes. He fennd heaps of papers scattered all aronnd the State House, and even In the streets. He picked up a great many, and had others given to him by friends. He had not time to make a careful Inspection ; all that he thought of was that he might be able to find something that would add to the attractions of the great fair. Arrived home on Friday last, he ex amined the mass of papers; he found among them several very interesting documents, many bearing the Blgn manual of Jeff Davis. Among them was one document of startling Importance. “It was a letter written in Richmond, dated Feb ruary 11,1865, addressed to Davis, asking his atten tion to a matter about which the writer had former, ly held a conversation with him. It. was a plot to born and destroy Federal vessels wherever found. The writer states that the secret of the composition (previously spoken of by him) was known only to two men; that Its nature was snob that It could be used with entire safety, and by persons unacquainted with Its use ; that men In the military service need cot be sent Into the - enemy’s country’ to do the work,' bnt that It could be performed by agents; that by US U£C they could; ■ “ Ist. Burn every vessel leaving a foreign port for this country. - 2d. Bum every transport sent from Northern ports to the Month. “3d Bum every vessel on the Mississippi river, and carry consternation into the ranks of tho enemy everywhere. “The writer further requestedthat tho ‘Presi dent’ would see and obtain tnorequired information. It closed with the most profound assurances of re spect to tbe recipient, and faith in the Issues of the rebel oause. “On the back or the documont was the following endorsement (we suppress the name): “ - Secretary of State, at his convenience please see —, and learn what plan he has for over coming the difficulty heretofore exporlenced. . “ < February 29.’ ” Heretofore experienced! Tho thing had, then, been tried before and failed. Says the Chicago Journal : “ Undoubtedly an attempt was made to burn the sit; of Chicago In November last, and to libe rate the rebel prisoners. Failing in that, the con spirators turned their attention to Now York, and two or three weeks afterwards we heard of an at tempt to bnm that city with the ships In the harbor, but they scarcely succeeded in ‘ overcoming the diffi culty heretofore experienced.’ It was all of a piece with the raiding Into St. Albans, and the seizures on the lakes, except that it far exceeded those i»»‘ In atrocDv ’t wsAJfchiax-D— "“ lou ’OUUO let ouluil nation In the murder of our belovod President and the Intended assassination of every member of the Cabinet.” HONORS TO THE LATE PRESIDENT.

A correspondent, writing from Panama on the 2d, says: •• The entire community was shocked at receiving the news, per Ocean Queen, of the dastardly assas sination of Mr. Lincoln. I did not think It possible that the people conld be so moved. Expressions of sympathy were heard on every side, and those who have heretofore in thought, word, or deed,, proved themselves arrant Secessionists, when the Informa tion reached ns, aoknowleged the great oalamltv that had befallen the whole American people, ana talked as If they had never forgotten their alle giance. The flags of the shipping were displayed at hall-mast,- that of the United States Consulate was draped in mourning, and the ensign of Columbia was displayed at half-mast on the Government house. To-day a meeting of citizens of the United States will be held at the United States Consulate,' in order to make pnblio expression of their sorrow at the great calamity that has fallen npon onr na tion In the death of Its Chief Magistrate.

Wickebbhak Nail MACHINE.— The recent lec ture, at the request of Prof. Hagers and othora, before the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, furnished some facts of great Interest to the commu* nlty with regard to this machine, and will undoubt edly attract the attention of capitalists and others interested in scouting fv? sue city the control, Itf menus of this Invention, of nearly If hot the Whole nail manufacture of this country. Statistics revest the fact that oyer three million kegs of nails are manufactured in the United Slates per annum. In stead or manufacturing one nail at a time, sc is done by the machinery now In use, this machine can cut from a twenty-inch Iron plate eight two-and-a> half Inch (eight penny) nails at one clow, and esn make three blows per seeond, thus giving twenty four nails, headed and pointed, in a second. The same machine will make one hundred and sixty ball-inch brads per second—forty at a time, or shout thlrty-slx hundred pounds per day, Including all sizes of small finishing nails, at a profit of at dust four cents par pound. By the old method, be It ra- ITfinljerid, hut one at - time is cat. The cost ol cutting ie ntt ever nmo tenth tb&t Of guy other method. Two machines, Stßploytng one ttaafl, v»6 make one hundred kegs of elght-penny halls per day. By the old method, two machines, employing two hands, make from two to eight kegs per day, according to the skill of the workman. One of our large factories with fllty machines proiluoeß fifty thousand kegs of nails per annum. Fifty Wlcksf sham machines will make seven hundred and fifty thousand kegs per annum. This seems a most ox . traordlnary result, but the figures are made allow ing the machine to mako but three blows per second, producing twenty-four nails, fourteen hundred ana rorty per minute, or nine poands, equal to five hun dred and forty ponnds per hour, or fifty-fear kegs per day. Brads and small finishing nails can os made in very much larger numbers.— Boston r—■ ” ‘ • Amos I.
