Reorganization.
By the Fourth of July, Provisional Go
vernors will probably be provided for the
three remaining States which are still ex
clusively controlled by military rule, viz :
Florida, Alabama, and South Carolina.

done their work thoroughly. A Washing
ton correspondent reports that a member
of a southern delegation remonstrated with
the President a few days ago against im
me.diate emancipation, urging that the
slaveholders should have time to adjust
their interests to such a momentous change.
His reply settled that question with very
few words. It was: "Do you know
which side was victorious in the war?'
The inevitable answer to this question
must carry with it an acknowledgment
that the North was bound in honor and
justice, as well as by its repeated public
declarations, to signalize its triumph by in
stantaneous liberation of every slave upon
our soil. Slavery, and secession were killed
by the valor of our troops. No new issues
that may arise can resuscitate those defunct
monsters, and this fact is as clearly re
cognized by every clear-headed politician
in the South as it is by,the people of the
North.
Every rational consideration that influ
ences the human mind is impelling the
sensible men of the rebellious States to re
pent their past errors and follies, and to
become loyal citizens. Thousands of them
are seeing for pardon, and their hopes of
obtaining it must, of course, depend in a
great measure upon their behavior, and
upon the spirit displayed by the States in
which they reside. If they wish to regain
political rights they must show that they
deserve them. If they wish to choose their
own rulers and to share the power and
glory of the giant Republic that has crushed
their wicked revolt, they must prove that
they are sincerely devoted to the Union.
If they wish to re establish industry, and
to obtain the necessaries and comforts of
life, they must assist in good faith in orga
nizing a free-labor system, for they under
stand that the days of enforced servitude
have passed away forever. If they do not
wish strict justice to be enforced against
all the leaders who misled them, they must
show that no disposition to generate a new
revolt exists. By persisting in acts of hos-
tility and bad faith, they have everything
to lose and nothing to gain. Some time
will probably be required for the fierce pas
sions aroused by the rebellion to subside.
Revengeful and passionate men will, it is
to be feared, occasionally vent their baffled
rage in unlawful and desperate outrages.
But we retain an army amply sufficient
to check angry ebullitions. There is no
thing left for the seceding States but
submission, and all their clear-headed
inhabitants are at this moment ponder
ing the problem of how they can best
make a:virtue of necessity, by accommo
dating themselves to the great social and
political revolution that has overwhelmed
them. " Time, at length, sets all things
even," and master and slave, loyalist and
rebel, will find in the end that our glorious
country is proueetive enough to provide for
all who exert a reasonable legree of energy,
and its Government sufficiently powerful
to vindicate its authority and protect its
faithful citizens. Rebellion has been tried
for four long years—it has been tested more
fully than any, people ever attempted to
test it before—and it has proved the most
complete failure that history records. The
victims of this tragical fiasco can have no
disposition, as they have no pc suer to re
peat their disastrous experiment.
The Capacity of the Negro.
While many of the freedmen are neces
sarily ignorant on account of the stringent
laws forbidding their education, and the
rigorous policy of their masters, there are
a number of instances in which they have
shown very considerable business capacity.
As a body, the slaves were compelled to
be infinitely more industrious than the
whites Of the south, and not a few are
skilful mechanics. The following extract
from the report of Li eut . CoI.EATON,

Arkansas shows how an opportunity for
managing a cotton plantation—the one
great art in which the rebel leaders were
supposed to excel— was improved by a
" full black :"
" That the negro is not wholly without ability
to realize this prospect, there Is convincing proof
in tee life of a full black at Pine Bluff, well
known as 'Uncle Reuben.' He was born in
Georgia, and fell to a master who had but few

well as complete devotion to his master's inter
ests, that the latter entrusted everything to his
management. The Slave raised hire from, poverty

This new Territory has proved as attrac
tive as the beautiful name with which it
has been graced. Although both northerly
and elevated, its climate is more genial than
more eastern regions lying in the same lati

influences of the soft Pacific breezes that
modify the winter into mildness, and be
stow a uniformity on the whole circle of
the seasons.
A. pew offspring of the Republic, born in
the war, it is a sturdy man-child, hearty

taken occasion to mention repeatedly as
continuing to a limited extent during the
last few years, notwithstanding the ob

peaks of the -great Rocky Mountains are
included in this territory, but also the fer

The range that raises this Territory to so

LETTER FROM u OCCASIONAL.”
WASHINGTON, June 10, 1865
The closing scenes of the trial of the
conspirators have revived the universal in
terest excited at the commencement of the
sittings of the Military Commission. The
argument of the eminent counsel on the
part of the Government will Probably be
written, and the intense desire to hear Mr.
Holt, the Judge Advocate General, will
therefore be disappointed. As the exami
nation proceeded, the complicity of the
leaders of the rebellion, who held their
court at Richmond, with the authors of the
horrible tragedy of the night of the 14th
of April, 1805, if not with the bloody deed
itself; was made more and more clear. The
yell ofrebel and tory rage which greeted the
reward for the capture of these leaders, of
frag ,11,g JAI L kr2clarpation of the Presi
tory despair at the capture of Jefferson
Davis ; but there will be a rare renewal of
it when the ease of the Government against
the assassins is made up from the mass of
testimony and laid before the public. The
celebrated report of the Judge Advocate
General on the subject of the secret associ
ations in the West, known as the Sons of
Liberty, or Knights of the Golden Circle,
made to Congress more than a year ago,
showed, conclusively, the existence of a
wide-spread organization, bound by the
most solemn oaths, and pledged to the
most revolutionary objects. Some of the
parties engaged in these clandestine cabals,
were arrested, tried, convicted, and pun
ished ; and in the investigations which esta
blished their guilt, some of the scenes
which led to the murder of Mr. Lincoln,
were clearly foreshadowed. Fully to
understand the forthcoming analysis
of the evidence taken before the
Military Commission, the main features of
this report should be read. From that it
will be seen that the conspiracy took its
rise more, than three years ago, and in
eluded hundreds of bad men in both sec
tions. The great riot in New York, in the
spring of 18G3 ; the resistance to the draft
the attempt to set fire to the New York
.hotels and theatres, were the beginnings
of that *which was intended to be a most
destructive catastrophe. The links in this
long chain of crime may be traced with
startling fidelity, with the aid of the report
and the files of the daily newspapers. That
nearly every step in the dark procession
was taken in the interest of treason, and
with the knowledge of Davis, will, I think,
be made most indubitably to appear. We
dare not be surprised at anything after
the assassination of our good President.
That sacrifice, with the attendant in
cidents of barbaric horror, makes all
other offences, or attempts, no matter how
exaggerated or unnatural they might seem
to be in any other light, strangely probable
and real. And yet while this theory is
sufficiently conclusive, it is as common to
hear the guilt of Davis denied and his re
lease demanded, as if he had never drawn
his sword in rebellion, and had never con
sented to the starvation of our prisoners;
and as if his tools had not attempted to fire
our cities, and had not deliberately mur
dered President Lincoln I We shall now
have another opportunity of comparing the
truth, as it has been obtained before the
Military Commission, with the facts col
lated in other printed documents, and, of
contrasting both with the appeals and argu
ments of the pro-slavery rebels, and the
tories of Great Britain. OCCASIONAL.

The New York independent of this week contains
an interesting article from Mr. F. B. Carpenter,
giving the history of how the emancipation procla

to Mr. C., and the latter quotes Mr. Lincoln's words
as follows

Moats a copy of this resolution to Brigadier (Moral

This resolution was sent to General Cauom, who
replied that be had forwarded it to the Secretary of
War, endorsed with his disapproval and his mama
therefor. Coesideriag that nal. Stanton recently
issued an order directing that no information should
be given by the officers of the post concerning even
cadet vacancies, it is not atalipr able that he will
permit the board to - question adets, without
extending the courtesy to the au ntendent which
a criminal can demand as a right in the courts of
Justice—namely, a confrental with the witnesses.
It seems that the cadets ?eel themselves materially
injured in some minor points, among them the
nATINCit- AND WASHING

the yours men and women or rayacqoaintanee have
agreed ftom time on. In the words of General (Jul.

and always will be. Young gentlemen who wear

is one of more vital importance. The fact is, more
money ouglt to be allowed, or what would amount
to the same thing, fewer charges should be placed
to the account of the cadets. With General Cul.

AtteMptta Murder of a Young Lady in
Lancaster.,
One of the most singular affairs that has oOtoorred
In this city for a long while, name to our knowledge
within the last day or two. It appears that a man
named John Leaser, hailing from Marietta, In com
pany with another man, called at a certain louse
In the Southwest ward, on Monday afternoon last,
and requested one of the inmates, a young woman,
to take a ride with hlm, which she promised to do
after tea. A little after 7 o'olook be again called,
but was very drunk, and she refused to go with
him, and he left the house. Tae following
morning, Tuesday, he called a third time, about
o'dock, when be WitS sober, asked for the
young woman, again making the request that
She should ride with him, and stating that ha
had a check from a man residing near Willow
street, payment of which had been refused at
one of our banks, and that he was going to coilect
the same in person. The young woman was, how ,
ever, engaged at the time, and, while awaiting her
appearance, the man Stepped out Into the garden,
where the woman of the house Was engaged In pick
bog Strawberries, some of whoa she gave him. He
commenced a conversation by saying, " rva a mind
to kill Sallie for the way she treated me last night."
Tile woman replied that it was "very singular talk,
as Sallie was S. very innocent girl, and wouldn't
harm a child." The conversation was interrupted
by the appearande of the young woman, when ills
consented to take the ride, and got into the Car
riage with him. They then proceeded down the
Willow-street pike and the Port Deposit road
to what is known as the Buck Hills, where he
drove into the woods, remarking that they would
have to go down that road, as the man Rived there.
She refused to do so, becoming suspicious, when be
caught hold of her, pulled her out of the carriage,
drew a knife, stabbed her in the side,
ohoked her
very severely, and tore her clothing. Whilst in the
act of choking her, her cries of "murder" brought
a young man, who was driving along the road, to
her relief, when Loeser immediately jumped into
the carriage and drove rapidly off. Tao young
man brought her to her home in this *Up, when a
physician Was called In, her armada dressed, and
she is now doing well, The case is certainly a very
singular one; and what steps, if any, have been
taken in reference to a legal investigation of the

JEFF DAVIS' STATUS AS A. STUDIINT.—An article
which appeared in the New York rinses ten years
ago thus sums up the capabilitleil Of Jeff Davie as a
Student at West Point :
"Notwithstanding his great power of will and
pride of character, Col. Davis was distinguished for
nothing as a student at West Point, except In being
at the foot of his class in the department of rhetoric
and moral philosophy. which constitutes the literary
portion of the course. In mathematics and natural
philosophy be was little better, being In the former
the twenty.seventh, and in the latter the thirtieth
in hie class, which numbered thirty-threogradttatos.
The highest number of marks obtained by a cadet
for pi's note/soy in the abovanomed studies was then,
as it le now, two hundred in the former and three
- hundred in each of the latter. In the former, OM.
D. got only forty-SIX, there being only eight beside,
himself who got less than one hundred, and only
one of them as low as sixty•six wht.e In mathems.
ties Col. D. got one hundred and fff fy-four, there
being twenty others who got more than two hun
dred. Two of these got two nundred and ninety- thre r,
being only seven short of the highest number. In
natural philosophy he got one hundred and thirty,
there being seventeen others who got more than
two hundred. The above facts show conclusively
that he hen no particular aptitude for either literary
or scientific pursuits."

startling vividness, and loud peals of thunder fol•

forcibly the terrific bombardment to which the mili

The lightning, we fear, struck in many plans, but
in some portions of this city its effects were fearful.
Near the upper end of south Old street a bol; en.

killing his wife and an interesting little daughter,
about seven years of age. Mr. Spaulding was him•

scene was truly heartrending, and not a dry eye
was to be seen in all the large company which had
so quickly assembled. Dr. Joseph Smith responded
promptly to a summons, but the lightning's dash

TRH OPICLING oB THS 01130118.--The grand Qom-
Modica Circus of Messrs. Stone & Rosston en
tered the city yesterday morning, and made a street
parade through the principal thoroughfares. The
E 088011; for one week only, opened yesterday after
noon. There was a fine audience present. List
evening the pavilion was filled to overflowing with
a highly intelligent, appreciative, and, we may say,
fashionable audience. The ylleorsaanoes gave nat.
venal satisfaction. The Indian troupe elicited
much pleasurable excitement. Messrs. Stone &
Rosston are veteran managers in the business, and
know exactly how to arrange the programme to
please the Philadelphia publie. Thoughethe tem
perature of the weather was warm, yet in the
pavilion there was a delightful current of air that It
seemed almost a luxury to enjoy. The tent is can
vas prepared with Mils rubber. It is lighted with
gas, and handsomely embellished with fancy ban

There will be peformanees every afternoon and
