4ttao tip Hui A REBEL PIRATE AT HAVANA Last week there was a slight thrill of that kind of excitement which belonged to the past months, produced by the intelligence that the rebel ram Stonewall, last heard from on the Sp apish Coast, had gone into the har bor of Havana on the 11th inst, She was allowed to land and take in coal. Our Con sul at Havana, after being libfused permission to send a naval tug boat, despatched the American steamer Columbia, which was in the civil service, to Admiral Stribling at Key West, with notice of the event. The latter immediately despatched the U. S. frigq . te Powbatan and the gunboat Aries to Ha vana, where they arrived on the 13th. - As they were in the waters of a neutral power, and the Captain General of Cuba has not comprehended the expiration of the belliger ent existence of the C. S. A. nothing could be done but to work on until the pirate should leave for the high seas. - On the 13th the Stonewall was still in port. It is reported that a demand upon the Cuban authorities for the surrender of the Stonewall had been. made by the American Consul, but it was refused. Three Union steamers were off the Cuban coast, and it is stated that six moni tors were on their way therefrom Mobile and Key West. THE TRIAL OF THE CONSPIRATORS. The trial of persons under arraignment be fore the Military Commission, for participa tion in the assassination conspiracy, is still going on. The testimony is voluminous, and it is yet too early to attempt to give a summary of it. It was expected that the examination of witnesses for the prosecution would have been finished yesterday. An argument was expected from Reverdy John son in denial of the legality of the trial, and it is said that the number of witnesses to be examined for the defence is immense: There is therefore no prospect of a very speedy close of the trial. ARRIVAL OF JEFFERSON DAVIS ANDI PARTY AT FORTRESS MONROE. The Arch Traitor with those captured along with him, has been very quietly slipped across across .the country to Hilton Head, and from thence, by the steamer Wm. H. Clyde, under convoy of- the U. S. gunboat Tuscarora, to Fortress Monroe: It is under stood in Washington that his trial, with its events, will take place within that fortress. The party consists of Davis and his family, Alex. H. Stephens, C. C. Clay, Col. Win. Reagan, Gen.- Wheeler the rebel raider, and some fifteen other rebel' officers. _ ifIPORTANT ARRESTS.—Gov. Brown,. of Georgia, was arrested on the night of the 9th ink , at his mansion in Milledg,eville, by Captain Kneeland and Lieutenant Bayard. Ile arrived-at Washington on the 18th in charge of the latter.- A short time before his arrest he issued his proclamation assem bling the State Legislature with a view to resuming the Federal relations: These trai tors talk this resuming of Federal . rela tions as though all their vile treason required DO expiation bilt the simple one of coming back. We judge they are in the way to take in a few idetts under •that. head. It; is said 4 , l baLGov. Brown will.be used as a witness, in TaEn trial of Davis. Schofield has proeraibi4e. WORK. —G4teral North Carolina, though free il L e s -slaves „ ( f expect to be supported in idleness:Rh= labor for -their own maintenance. It is 'not surprising, considering all the past, that some occasion should exist for making such a pro clamation. We also notice a manifesto issued by Gen. Howard ; whose appointment as head of the Freedmen s Bureau in Washington is elsewhere mentioned, whieh-o.....isa.ciAg,tafol lows While it shall be my object to se cure as much uniformity as possible in the matter of employment and instruction of freedmen I earnestly solicit co-operation from all ()lacers and agents whose position or' duty renders it possible for them to 'aid me. The negro should understand that he is really free, but on no account, if able to work, should he harbor the thought that the Gov ernment will support him in idleness.” WESTIMONY OF GENERALS MEADE AND GRANT ON THE CONDUCT OF THE WAR. The Committe on the Conduct of the War have thought fit to publish Generals Meade and Grant's testimony as to the manner Mr. Stanton has supported them in the campaign they were engaged in. General Meade says: "So far as my knowledge extends, and I have had many relations with the War De partment, I can say most cheerfully that eve rything I have required, or that I thought ought to be done has been promptly attended to by Mr. Stanton as the head of the War Department. As to the general management of the War Depattment, I consider it has been conducted with great ability." Gen. Grant says: "-So far as the Secretary and myself are concerned, he has never interfered with my duties, never thrown any obstacle in the way of supplies I have called for. He, has never dictated a course of campaign to me, and never inquired what I — was going to do. He has always seemed satisfied with what I did, and has heartily cooperated with me." FIRE IN PRILADELPHIL—The extensive foundry of Messrs. Merrick and ;Sons, occu pying a censiderable portion of the square bounded by Fourth & Fifth streets, and Wash ton avenue and Federal street was consumed by fire on the night of the 17th inst. For a time a much more general conflagration , seemed to be threatened, but the energy of the Fire Department conquered the - peril. A vast amount: of machinery, and valuable work in various stages of readiness, were con sumed in the buildings of the Messrs. Mer rick. The loss is estimated at $75,000, for tunately pretty well covered by insurance. A few persons were somewhat burned, dut no lives were lost.. There is no doubt re specting the origin of the fire.• The spiggot of a cask containing varnish had been care lessly left: running, making a puddle of the liquid upon the floor of the paint-shop, which contained an abundance more of in flammable material, and into that puddle a man accidently dropped a burning lamp.

REV. CHARLES: A, SMITH, D.D., PRINCIPAL. This Seminary has been in satiessful operation for Several years at N 0.1530 Arch Street. A new locality has been'selected, not only because it-is more central in its relitions to the most densely populated portions of the city, but also because the school-rooms are un usually largo and airy, and admirably adapted to the purposeto which they are designed. To the present and former patrons of the school it is needless to speak of its advantages. To others, who desire to send their daughters to a first-class institu tion, it will be enough to say, that the design of this school is to educate, in the only true sense. To secure this end, thoroughness is aimed at in all the branches pursued, so that the scholar may understand the principle involved in every investigation. The classes are arranged in three departments:— Primary, Academic, and Collegiate. There are sepa rate and am pl e accommodations for primary pupils, as well as for those belonging to the higher departments. All the departments are subject to the same discipline and general supervision.
