LETTER FROM ‘, OCCASIONAL,'
WasnrxwoN, June 20, 1865
The awful collapse of the rebellion,
'which, colossal and threatening and most
formidable as it was, crushed into unutter
able ruin almost in an hour, astounds and
terrifies our common enemies. The lead
ers of the insurrection, the domestic sym
pathizers, and their foreign auxiliaries, read
in the sudden downfall of the rebellion
liomething more than a warning. They
flow confess that the dreadful failure for
ever finishes all their hopes. Hencefor
ward' no successful hand can be raised
against the American Government, Its
'wonderful rescue and aalvation, give it mar
vellous strength and prestige. Its quick
restoration to peace, the rapid separation
and return of its soldiers to their homes, its
cause ascending in favor with every hour,
its sublime fixedness in the very moment
of the murder of its appointed head, have
proved to be so many new foundations,
abutments, 'and mighty walls for the pre
servation and protection of the fortress of
American freedom. With what grateful
feelings we may now contemplate the alac
rity with which the rebels and foreign rulers
hasten to propitiate our vindicated Go-
Vernment I First Holland, and now France
and. England withdraw their concession
of belligerent rights to the traitors. There
is a thrilling moral in the complete humi
liation of these two latter Powers. They
courted greedily the catastrophe that has
overtaken them. Flushed with the hope
that the tiniteCi States were unequal to
the work of self-protection, and obli
vious of the utter maselessnesa of
the revolt, and of the indulgent policy
of the parent Government ; and, more than
all, contemptuously defiant of the usages,
• courtesies, and even the laws of nations,
they rushed forwasd to take part on the
vide of the Insurgents, and to strike the se-
Verest blows at the heart of the republic as
it was struggling with its fierce and savage
foe. England led the way. She was
almost the policeman of Jefferson Davis in
Europe, doing his work for aNvhile with
the coarsest of abuse, and the most active
Partisanship. And to to this character
She added that of spy and of bully.

rican freedom. Her ports and her navy
yards were thrown open to the pirates
of treason. They were the idols of her
"good society," the Admirable Crichtons
of her royal clubs, the guests of her co
lonial governors, the feted heroes of her
army and her navy, and the favorites of
her philanthropic bankers, who took the
Confederate bonds, built the Confede
rate ships, bought the Confederate cot.
ton, and glorified the Confederate cause
Even the British Church, that whited
wall, hollow and rotten to the core, saw
much that was good in slavery, when
that slavery was piously cutting the throat
of American freedom. What American
in England but saw and suffered under all
these things? What English friend of
America, no matter how gifted, well-born,
or pure, that was not ridiculed and
slandered by the organs of the Tories
on the one hand, and the ministry on the
other? Our illustrious Secretary of State,
Mr. Seward, calmly in the midst of these
events, knowing well the temper alike of
his own sensitive, impulsive, and self-sacri
ficing countrymen, and the bitter, unjust,
and aggressive spirit of the British press
and nobility, held the balance with steady
hand between the two elements, conscious
that, in conceding what he could not defy,
be would be subjected to the suspicions of
the one, and the taunts of the other. The
Trent affair was an example. The action
of this Government was received but with
deep murmuring in the Unted States, and
with ill-concealed exultation in London ;
and so far from inducing an abatement
of the intrigues between the tories and
the British officials with the rebels, it
was made a new pretext for giving
the latter aid and comfort. France fol
lowed the lead of England, and is, there
fore, lese entitled to censure. However
quick to take advantage of our troubles
to help his own designs, and however hasty
in bringing over his troops to seize Mexico
before we could recover to take a hand in
that game, it stands somewhat to the
credit of Louis Napoleon that he did
not allow his navy yards, and ports,
and colonies, to be used as so many
agencies by the rebel pirates who preyed
upon American commerce, and burnt un
offending and unarmed American ships
on the high seas, in violation of hu
manity and the laws of war. Here, if
nowhere else, France will present a
favorable contrast with Great Britain.
And when we claim from England
that ample restitution which she will
undoubtedly make, for the too flagrant Co
operation. with the rebel pirates of her
citizens and officials, it will be pleasant to
know that France will not be included in
the demand I It is also due to France to
say, that not one of the organs of Louis
Napoleon has indulged in the measure
less falsehood ' and foulness in regard
to President Johnson that have lately
disgraced the columns of the Lendon
Morning Herald and the London Even
ing Standard, the known organs of
Lord Derby, the tory leader in England,
who will come into the ministry if the
Palmerston party is beaten in the coming
elections. As late as the Ist of Julie (inst.)
both these papers were steeped in libels of
the American President. But this is not
the worst of it. As a very intelligent
American gentleman, writing to me from
Liverpool, on the 2d of June, says:
" The Moran" Post, Lord Palmer
ston's paper, and the Telegraph the
organ of the dissenters, and having the
largest circulation of any daily paper in
Europe, are little less abusive and malig
nant than the Herald and Standard.
The Herald is the mouth-piece of the
aristocracy, and its - vile attacks on Presi
dent Johnson have never been equalled even
by the most venomous of the Copperheads
at home." It must not be forgotten that
all these festering slanders were promul
gated srinee the murda of Mr. Lincoln and
the death of the rebellion ; and at a time
when the British Government confesses to
its outrageous course in recognizing the re
bels nil_ belligerents, and in full view
of the new proof of the cruelty and
fiendishness of Davis and his instru
ments, well may Louis Napoleon fe
licitate himself that no such poison
ous taint has touched his record. But while
justice demands these comments—as
we consider the manner in which the per
sistent sympathy of the Governments of
England and France with the rebellion
has been thus rebuked and repented—it is
much more agreeable to turn to the almost
universal submission to the power of the
Republic of the people-of our own blood
and kindred, who were impelled to resist
that power. If England and France, and
other foreign States, yield to our victorious
arms and to the downfall of the rebellion
With ill-concealed reluctance and envy, it is
not so with tens of thousands of those who
have been fairly defeated, and are now
asking readmission to the Union and for
giveness at the hands of the constituted
and , constitutional authorities. They see
not only their duty, but they hasten to per
form it. In the language of the Galveston
(Texas) News of the 25th of May, they ex
claim : " History affords no instance of
such a sudden collapse of a powerful na
tion, that for four years had supported
armies equal to the largest ever raised-by
the nations of Europe, and that have
achieved victories that will be the admira
tion of future generations." Where there
is such frank obedience, and such eager
desire to re-enter upon the obligations of
citizenship, and to accept all the responsi
bilities, and, if necessary, the rnmishments
of- insubordination—to acknowledge thin
slavery is dead—that the Calhoun idea of
State rights, is extinguished— that hence
forward there is to be but one country and
one Constitution—but one powerful and ad/-
pervading Government—who can wonder
that the American nation has received the
respect of the world and has won back the
warm and hearty allegiance of all its own
people ? OCCASIONAL.

drove the woman some eft miles into the country,
but denies that he stabbed her. He states that he

for insulting him the evening before. He also, states
that be was somewhat intoxicated at the time, and

is correct. The woman was brought home, by a

Four regiments of cavalry 4.800
Six regiments of heavy artillery 10,800
Four companies of light artillery 720
Forty zogiments of infantry 40,000

The number of soldiers would have been largee

The total ambutt expended by this department
for the year was $8.245,191.74. The amount appro
priated by Congress for the prosecution of the works
on which this sum has been expanded, including the
Military Academy, was $6,959,297.
The Military Academy has continued to fulfil the
purpose for which it was created, by collecting and
„procuring from all nations the arts and sciences
contacted with the defence of our country, and im•
parting the knowledge of them, so far as it is appli
cable to our people, to the cadets enjoying the bane

ton, Cinoinnati, Louisville, Chicago, and St. Louis,
and forwarded from these points to the principal
depots for the several armies in the field, Whence
they have been distributed to minor, less perma

varying wants and positions of the troops. Sub
sistence stores to a limited extent have also been
purchased at many other points when required for
local Issues.
The reduction of the ration by the sot of June 20,
1864, to the ration as It existed before tile eat of Au
gust 3, 1861, is proved to be a measure of economy,
whilit it provides the soldier with a ['efficient quan
tity of food. Some officers familiar with the suoject
are cf opinion that the ration may be improved
without adding materially to Its cost, in Which
opinion General Dyer refuses to concur.

During the year the health of the entire army was
better than is usual with troops engaged so con
stantly on active duty and in arduous campaigns.
No dean:Wive epidemics prevailed in any mutton,
stud the number of sick and wounded, although,
large, has been comparatively small in the proper.
tion it bat borne to the whole army. At the close
of the year the number of sink and wounded, both
with their commands and in general hospitals, was
less than sixteen (16) per cent. of the strength of
the army. Of this number 9.3 per cent. were sick,
and 048 per cent. wounded. Tee number sick with
their respective commands was four per cent., and
in Femoral hospitals 6 3 per Cent, of the strength.
Or the 0.46 per cent. wounded. nearly one per cent.
were with their respective commands, the rest in
general hospitals.
The work of reducing the sick reports of the army
has not advanced sufficiently to present a detailed
statiaticalreport of sickness and mortality during the
year, but it is evident that the completed tables will
exhibit a lower rate of mortality than In previous
years. The deaths from disease during June, 1804,
were 2.98 per thousand of mean strength; from
wounds, 8.10 per thousand; total death's 0.08 per
thousand, or sitotentha of one per cent. for the
month. During the same month of the previous
year the total was 7.3 per thousand of mean strength,
Or over geven•tenths of one per cent.
There ware furnished during the year to dlNlstled
soldiers 669 legs and 839 arms.
The Army Medical Museum continues to Increase
in value, and la already one of the most instructive
pathological collections in the world. A descriptive
catalogue is in course of preparation, an examine.
tics 01 which will, it is thought, fully establish the
importance of this institution in connection with the
stugioal and medical history of the war.

THE TRIAL.
ELABORATE DEFENCE OF
SPANGLER.
T IS HELD THAT HE IS IN NO WAY CON
NECTED WITH THE MURDER,
Wesuirourow, June 21—Nottdng WO.ll done In
mut tbiA afternoon Oat reading of argument by
Mr. Ewing to show that Sangler had na eompiml.
ty whatever with Booth in the 8.618.9,W0RT10D.
The court met at two o'clock, when tiir Ewing
'tad his argument in favor of the mused', Edward'
Spangier; reviewing at length all the testimony
bearing upon the particular ease.
Spate ter. it had been shown, teemed to have agree
unaratfon for Booth, who excelled in all the manly
spores, and arnatesse had alto testified that Spang
hies oh “taater was that of a peatiellinia goo-I natured,
tired, and harmless than. Spangler was tnti dredge
for Booth, Fomettmes taking care or and feeding the
lager's horse. Booth, out of courtesy, had access
to the theatre whenever it was open. In calling at
tention to the relations between Spatieler gni Booth,
Mr. Ewir g elated to mark the last that, in alt the
estimony as to the latter's meetings, associations,
and torte dome, and things said, there was not tee
btest indication that Spangler ever met Brett
eleept in the theatre; and there was nothing to
show that Spangler had any Palmation of Booth'e
purpose, or even Innocently helped him to effeot It.
It appeared from the testimony for the prosecatlOll
that bete were found in Spang ler's carpetbag a
rope eighty one feet lung, some latter paper, oral a
shirt, Collat. Ii wee shown that suet slime ropes were
used at the theatre for hoisting borders to scenes,
heeling up timber to the top dressing-enema &A.
This rope bad been produced by the Governmeat as
proof ware* Spangler, but from the testimony of
persons employed In the theatre, tt appeared teat
epappler stole the rope for a orabline. In the
&entail scheme of Booth, this rope certainly was
rot to be used as a /aria or a'baiter. If it was in.
tended for such a purpose, It would have been kept
at the theatre, and not at his boardingtottee in a
carpetbag.
Mr. Ewing was not bound to chow what Spangler
Wall going to do with the shlrbood se and let•
to piper. The morsel next eXanitneel tilt
testimony in relation to the hex Wanted by the late
President, refuting, by a referenda to the evidence,
things which bad been said concerning Spangler
in that connection. The acts of preparation err the
assassination were performed by Booth hierseli,
when he hail previously occupied the same box, If
Booth had a confederate in Spangler, the boring of
the hole In the door, and the door brace would habil
been made with Speeelera carpenters' tools. The
hole had first been bored with a gimlet amid then en
larged with a penknife. Toese acts of preparation
were mere drudgery, which Spangler would have
been sailed up o n to do, it he hair been in coosptraey
with Booth, That Booth did both and Spangler
neither. Showed that Spangier wee net in the plot
when the preparations were made, Mr. E alba
alluded to the testimony that Booth came to th 6
book of the theatre at nine o'clock on the night of
the 14th of April and said: "Ned, you'll help me
all pun can V' To which. Spangier telrepresented - as
answering; "Oh, yea.” This testimony was con
tradicted by the responsible utility man and other
WittleiTheat But grant that Spangler did make tee
reply it must have been In a loud tone to be heard
by the witness, as there was no previous telit
natty showing the slightest act or arrangement
of conspiracy on the port of Spangler. The reply
of Spangler should be treated as nothing ant the
reply of a drudge to his superior and not know
ing tic intent of the question. If Spengler was
to have helped Booth he would have got a
substitute to arroyo the scenes, and after the pistol
shot to have opened the door for the Maps of trie
tilebileint It Spangler had been in league with
Booth, would he, as has been testified, have stood
meta:ado-30 and leave Boat to the kneed of flight,
unaided 1 And would Spangler himself have run
for water, after be heard that somebody had been
pilotebotl If Booth made use of that language to
Spangler and Speoglor thus replied, the letter
could have known nothing of a criminal parposa,

Wu will start on the Ist of June, and move directly
into the country of the hostile Indians—the Powder

will consist of about two thousand cavalry, with a
few pieces or artillery. In the meantime, the route
willbe thoroughly protected between the ffilseenri
