4,lsta Di tI glnit. THE EXECIITTVE. Secretary Seward has received, by Atlan tic telegraph, an official confirmation of the news of the arrest of John H. Suratt. There is no doubt of the assassin's identity. Not Satisfied with a Pardon.—The ex: rebel General Edward Johnson, who was re cently pardoned by the President, applied, Nov, 26th, to the United States Treasurer for the payment of a check for $3OO, due to hini,in 1861, as Major in the United States Army. The payment was refused. Minister Bigelow, in an official letter dated Paris Nov. 6, .says that Colonel W. H. Coyle, of the United States Army, and Judge Advocate of. the State of Kentucky, who was shot through the lungs at the battle of Pea Ridge, in March, 1862, died from the effects of his wounds in that city 2 on the , 3d inst., in the twenty-fifth year of his age. He came thither two weeks previous for medical advice. Judge-Advocate-General Holt some time ago demanded, under the articles of war, a Court of Inquiry for the investigation of the various charges which have been made a_gainst him, alike in connection with the Conover testimony, and with his conduct in the prosecution of Mrs. Surratt and Other alleged assassins of,.President Lincoln. The President has declined to order the Court, on the ground that he does not deem it neces sary to the Judge-Advocate-General's vindi cation ; thus recognizing the groundlessness of all these accusations.—The Johnson Departmental Club, since the election, has been in great trout*. Its officers have seve ral times issued a call for a meeting of the members, but always less than a quorum an swered. In a fit of despair they have deter mined to give up the original idea of the Club, and have turned it into what they term the "Johnson Temperance(!) Club." IlrXXllrth CONGRESS.--Second Session. Senate.—Dec. 3.—Messrs. Edmunds, Po land, Cattell, Fogg and Frelinghuysen, ap peared and were sworn in. The credentials of Messrs. Burnett and Robertson, Senators elect from Texas, were presented and tabled. Mr. Sumner moved to take up the bill regu lating the franchise in the District of Colum bia. On a question of order, it was decided that no bill of the kind could come up until after the sixth day of the session. The President's Message and Documents were then received. House.—Dec. 3.—One hundred and forty six members answered to roll-call. Messrs. Arnold, Campbell and Hawkins, from Ten nessee, and Haze, Rosseau and Ward, from Kentucky, were sworn in. Mr. Elliot, of Massachusetts, asked leave to introduce a bill depriving the President of the power to extend amnesty to ex-rebels, which was grant ed, and the bill was passed under a suspen sion of the rules, by a vote of 111' yeas to 29 nays. A motion was carried directing the Secretary of State to lay before Congress, the correspondence relating to the discovery of. John H. Surratt. Mr. Boutwell introduced a bill directing the sale of $2,000,000 in gold by the Treasury Department every week, and regulating the deposit of public funds by in ternal revenue collectors ; read twice and re ferred. Mr. Schenck introduced a bill fixing the meetings of the Fortieth Congress on the Sth of March, the first Monday ill January thereafter, and the second Monday in Novem ber preceding the end of its term. This was made the special order for the 11th inst. Mr. Stevens , introduced a bill regulating re movals from office, which was made the order for Friday next. The President's Message and Documents were then received. The Public Doenments.—We shall not undertake to give even a synopsis of the Public Documents which our readers have had ample opportunity to study in the daily papers. Remarking on them as a whole, the U. S. Gazetit says :—The first thing that oc curs to'the reader of these documents is that their whole tone, especially that of the Pre sident's message, is very decidedly moderated. from the high and insolent bearing which so incensedboth Congress and the nation. There is really nothing to complain of in the lan guage or temper of any of these documents.. It is apparent even to the most superficial .observer,that they are all extremely guarded, -and that an effort has been made to assume an air of courtesy and deference to the peo ple's representatives, for which' the elections have probably offered the hint. We may differ from the sentiments advanced, but no -one can deny that the opinions held by the writers of the documents are stated in very moderate terms. Looking at the sentiments themselves, we find them to be identical with those advanced in the documents of last year, and the policy advocated by , the President does not differ a hair's breadth from that he has rendered 'so offensive ; so that all the professions in favor of impartial suffrage must have been intended to deceive those who un dertook to deal with him. Not a step is taken in the direction of any conciliation with Congress ' nor is any plan of agreement even hinted at. Just as the plan of admit ting the rebel States unconditionally was sub mitted last yehr, it is repeated in the present message.. STATES AND TERRITORIES. Pennsylvania.—At Gettysburg there is a " Battle-field Memorial Association," organ ized for the purpose of preserving the most important parts of the field in the precise con dition in which the armies left them, which has been chartered by the Legislature, and the association have already purchased the most interesting localities, so that all the military 'works or defences prepared for this great battle are not to be destroyed, but will for ever remain for the benefit of future histori ans, or for the students who may wish to study its philosophy,- and thus acquire a practical knowledge of the art of war. Of all the great battle-fields of the world, upon which the human race have contended for mastery, not one remains. The hand of time or, of induptry has oViterated every trace; thestelds ofiWaterlOo, of the Crimea, of Italy, and of Germany, exist only in history ; but the field of GettysbuFg, upon which the fate of our nation was decided, will be pre served in all its freshness, arid be thus hand ed down to future ages, as d illustration of our skill in arms, and as the proudest monu ment of American patriotism and valor. Ohio.—The great suspension . bridge over the Ohio river at Cincinnati, 2252 feet long, was opened to pedestrians on the Ist of Decem ber, with appropriate ceremonies. It is the longest single: span bridge in the world, cost .-intt $2,000,000. Railway tracks are laid over it. The span froni centre to centre of the tfowers is 1757 feet. Illinois.---According to the returns of the State census, taken last year, and now pub lished, it appears that the total population of the State in 1865 was 2,041,510, an increase in five years of 429,937. Kentacky.—Three 'men, who were con 6erned in the recent railroad:outrage in Ken tucky, were taken from the Lebanon jail, Nov. 24th, by a mob, and were hanged. Missouri Bushwhackers Abroad.—On Monday, Nov. 26, a court was opened in Platte county, Mo., by the new Judges as leoted on the Radical ticket. The court pro greased without interruption all day, and ad journed until the next morning. Judge Allen, the old judge, early on Tuesday morn ing opened court upon his own hook, before the hour. The clerk refused to recognize his authority, and put the docket and court records under lock and key. Allen then issued an order removing Mr. Moore, who refused to obey the order ; when a squad of between thirty and forty bushwhackers threa tened to kill him if he did not deliver up the records. Moore refused to do so, and es caped. The old judge adjourned the court for a week, and a company of armed bush whackers are guarding the court house, re fusing to allow court to be held by the new judgeselected. North Carolina.—The election of Judge M. E. Mauley to the United States Senate by the Legislature,. is a significant act of defiance. He was an original Secessionist, who cannot take the test oath, and, was, no doubt, chosen because of his disability. Georgia.—The House of Representative a has passed a law to prevent the running or railroads and steamboats on the Sabbath. Alabama.—ln the House. of Representa tives, Dec. 1, Mr. Brooks, of Lowndes county, presented a bill to altei the constitution of the State to admit conditional negro suffrage. The conditions are that the voter shall possess property valued at $3OO, and shall be able to read the Constitution of the United States, and write a Legible hand ; these conditions holding good alSo in the case of white men. Mr. Brooks was closely identified with the Confederate cause, having expended his last dollar in its. support, and in presenting his bill said that he did so as a measure of policy and rtubliC good. After an exciting debate, .the bill was tabled. Texas.—Thelndianola (Texas) limes states that Northern and Western people will be surprised to learn that there are instances of a single owner having a herd of 20,000 cattle in that State, and being_ without milk or butter on his table. In one Texas county, where the people have 150,000 cattle, they bly for their tables condensed milk and G-o -slien butter, put up in the North. Utah.—Brigham Young is said to have recently married his forty-fifth wife ' a Danish girl of seventeen. He has just lost his twen ty-fourth wife, who was buried without any ceremony, or even a notice of her death. FINAWCIAL. The Cotton Crop.—Messrs. Neil Brothers Co., of New Orleans, in their latest circu lar on the cotton crop, estimate that it will be from 2,050,000 to 2,300,000 bales, or from 41 to 49 per cent. of the crop of 1859-60, which was 4,675,000 bales. ' In the fourteen months previous to Octo ber,lB66, the National debt was reduced $26,000,000. For the year ending the 30th of June next, it is estimated that the receipts into the Treasury will be $475,000,000, and that the expenditures will be $317,000,000, leaving a surplus of about $150,000,000 to be applied to the public debt. It is also esti mated that there will be a surplus of $85,- 000,000 in the year 1868 to be applied in the same way. FOREIGN, Nexico.—WAsna - NaToN, Nov. 28.—The Government has received information that fourteen large transports are on the point of leaving Brest to remove the French troops from Mexico. Ten more of the same'class of vessels are to follow at once, and are expected at Vera Cruz toward the end of December, and by the end'of January the whole. French army will have embarked. Inforination has allso.reached here that - Maximilian is expected itt Havana• at any moment, on his way to Europe. The Washington Republican, of the same date says :—lt is no secret of this Govern ment that the Emperor of the A French has disregarded his pledge to withdraw frern the soil of Mexico one-third of his troops in that country this fall. We assert only, what we know when we announce the astounding fact that Napoleon, regardless of international courtesies, decided that all his troops should femain in Mexico to strengthen that Austrian usurper, Maximilian„ without notifying the Government of the United States of his in tention. Upon learning officially the 'pur pose of the French Emperor, an earnest pro test against his action was forwarded to him, through our Minister at the French Court. The Paris correspondent of the London Daily .News, writing under date of Nov. 13, says ;—I have reason to know that General Sherman's mission to Mexico, the news of which renders the French Government jour nals almost speechless, is to the ;full as im portant as they manifestly understand it to be. M. Drouyn de L'lluys, in a despatch which has been published, promised distinctly that the French army would evacuate Mexico in three detachments, the first of which was to leave' at the beginning of December. "For reasons unexplained, the,. transports which were fitting out tte Cherbburg, to fulfil this contract, received counter orders. Something was thrown out about Gen. Castelnau's return from his mission to Maximilian, and it hai been said in the G-overnrnent:press that it would be more convenient to bring'the'whole army back together next spring. To any such changes of the original - arrangement - I can, however, :assure you that:the United. States has been no party ; and moreover, the United States intends to proceed upon the assumption that France will act up ,to the letter of M. Drouyn de"L'Huys'S despatch. It will be found that Gen. Sherman has in structions to assume that the contract is ful filled, and to ignore the fact of the French' troops, not having gone away so soon as promised. If their presence should oppose. difficulties to ,the arrangements which he will make with the - only Government recognized by the' United States—that of Juarez—the fault will be with France, which will find itself in the disagreeable position of a person who, having distinctly taken leave of the master, of the house, yet hangs about the premises. Conquest of Jalapa by the Liberals.—On Tuesday, Nov. 6th, the Liberal army moved in overwhelming force on Jalapa, which was strongly fortified and -garrisoned by the Im perial, Mexican, and Austrian troops. The cannonading continued for several days. At intervals the Mexican Imperial troops desert ed to the Liberal army, and the Imperiall troops were driven to the Cathedral, where they were cut off from supplies of food and water. The candonading-was distinctly heard over fifty miles:'. The;final attack was made on the 11th ult., when the Imperial troops surrendered as prisoners , of war and were so respected. On the 11th, Col. Dapau, with 1000 troops,.'arrived at San Bartolmo, en route toJalapa; but hearing of the surrender, returned to Orizaba. • Letters from the cify of Mexico received in Washington, dated Nov. 10th, state the fact that General Bazaine had given arms' and amunipition to the Mexican Liberals, and promised , them that they should not be interfered with by the French forces, pro vided they pronounced for Geneial Ortega and proclaimed him as Presideneof Mexico. Jamaica.—Gordon Ramsay, the notorious. Provost. Marshal of Ole late reign of terror in that island, has escaped human justice, the grand jury having ignored the bill;of indict ment charging him with the murder of one George Marshall, a colored man. This will not occasion surprise when it is remembered that the jury was composed of planters, all THE AMERICAN PRESBYTE'RIAN, THIJRSDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1866. residing in the very district in which' the dis turbances of last October took place. Sunday Amusements in England.—lt is stated that quite an active movement has begun in England.in favor of allowing the laboring classes, who are hard at work all the week, an opportunity of enjoying themselves at cricket and other athletic sports on Sun day afternoon, the mornings being spent in church. This movement for the benefit of the laboring people is said to be headed by Archdesion Dennison,and is supported by many people of high religious standbag. BY TB E ATLAB''ile CABLE. Nov. 27, London.—The Fenian troubles in Ireland have assumed considerable propor tions, and there is no doubt that a serious outbreak has occurred. Two regiments of national troops were urgently ordered to Ire land yesterday afternoon, and transports were being prepared all night at Portsmouth. A large detachment of marines was also sent over to Queenstown on the war steamer Ply mouth. Nov. 28, London. —The movement of the Government against the Fenians ,continues. Another regiment of infantry will go to Bel fast immediately.—Paris.—The Emperor Napoleon has just telegraphed to his aids in Mexico to hasten the evacuation of the French troops from that country. Nov. 29, Paris. —[Special to the New York Herald.]—lt has been ascertained that Sec retary Seward's long despatch of Monday, to the American Minister at this Court, related chiefly to the withdrawal of the French troops from Mexico, and expressed the hope that France would carry out her promises. The despatch, it is understood, also alluded to the departure of General Sherman fp! Mexico, and gave the reasons why he was sent thither. Although the despatch was Of, anusual length, it was nevertheless couched in a conciliatory, though dignified- spirit. A later telegram speaks of Mr. Seward's despatch as grave and decided, and says Mr. Bigelow read it to the Emperor in person. - The despatch, (so report goes) explicitly required France to fulfil the engagements she had entered into with regard to the Mexican question. The Emperor, however, made no reply. Nov. 30, Lisbon. —The famous monitor 31liantonomah and six other vessels belonging to the United States Navy, are now riding at anchor in this harbor. It is ascertained, however, that they will sail in a few days, but their destination is unknown. Dec. 1, Trieste. -[Special to the New York Herald.]—Advices from Miramar re poA that the case of the Empress Cailotta is said by her consulting physicians to be hope less.—Paris.--The Journal des Debats says that Rome will be evacuated on the 12th inst: —The King of Prussia has decided to send Prince Adelbert, lately , created an admiral to the United States, to, study the modern improvements in naval construction. The naval system of the United States will be adopted as a model in the formation of the Prussian service, rather than that of England. Dec. 2, London. —lt is quite probable that troops will be sent to Liverpool and Glasgow on account of the bad feeling which prevails among the Irish in those cities. Many arrests of Fenians have been made by the Govern ment officers in Ireland. 'ltems.—The great railroad across the con tinent has progressed, it is announced, to within 275 miles of Denver City, Colorado. —The late Senator Wright, of N. J., died worth $600,000.—.-A crinoline manufaetuer in Saxony has made during the last ten years no less 'than 863,784,000 hoop:-skirt springs, or -enoughto go around the world thirteen • times and half.-----AttemPts have been made, within the space of about one year, to assassinate the Emperor of Russia, the King of Prussia and the Emperor 'of Austria, be sides attempted assassinations of the Minis ters of the first two of these sovereigns.— The actual strength of the United States regular 'army is about 45,000 John Morrissey, the lady of the member of Congress elect from c4he Vth Congressional District of New York city, gave her check for $l5OO a few days since to Presidentßoberts, in aid of the coming movement against our Cana dian brethren.—Jeff. and Joseph Davis' plantations have been leased to an association of colored men. At this season of the year, when so many of our people are suffering from colds, we call attention to AYER'S , CM-REY PECTORAL as a sure cure not only for coughs and colds, but all affections of the lungs and throat. HaVing used it in our fain* for many years, we can speak from personal knowledge of its efficiency. There may be other remedies that are good, but all our experience this has proved to be by far the best. Its quali ties are uniform and wholly reliable. It is pleasant to take, and should be kept at com mand, by every family, as a protection against a class of complaints which seem harmless in the beginning, but become afflicting and dan gerous if neglected.—.N.

Ayer's Pills. t Are you sick, feeble and complain c. int; ? Are you out of order.with your system deranged and your feelings uncomfortable? These symptoms are often the prelude to serious illness. SOMO fit of sickness is (weeping upon you, and should be averted by %time ly lase of the right remedy. Take Ayer's Pills, and cleanse out the. disordered humors —purify the blood; and let the fluids mover on unob structed in health again. They stimulate the func tions of the body into, vigorous activity, purify the system from the obstructions which make disease. A cold settles somewhere in the body, and deranges its natural functions." These, if not relieved, react upon themselves and the surrounding .organs, pro ducingeneral' aggravation, suffering and derange ment. While in this condition, take Ayer's Pills, and see how directly they. restore the natural action of the system, and with it the buoyant feeling of health again. , Whatis true and, so apparent in this trivial and common complaint is also true in many of the deep Seated and dangerous distempers. The same purgative effect expels them. Caused by similar ob structions and derangements of the natural functions of the body, they are rapidly and many of them sure ly cured by the same means. None who know the virtue of these Pills will neglect to employ them when suffering.from the disorders they cure, such as Headache, Foul Stomach, Dysentery, Bilious Corn plaints, indigestion, Derangement of the Liver,-Cos tiveness, Constipation, Heartburn, Rheumatism, Dropsy, Worms and Suppression, when taken in -large. doses. .

"Tug fixers:tar CHRRllBH.from'Raphaers Sistine Madonna," is ready. This picture has been engraved at great expense, specially for THE LITTLE CORPORAL, and is one of the best engravings everlsroduced in this country. The Bank Note Company who produced it. say they would not , dttplicate it for less than two thousand dollars. It excels the German engraving of Steinia's, which sells for $3 per copy. Our ,price is $2. For a short time we shall offer it as a premium as follOws: • We will send the picture of THE HEAVENLY CHERUBS to every subscriber who will renew his own subscrip tion. to THE CORPORAL for the next year,• and also send the names of, two other subscribers, at the regular price of one dollar a year. Or to every one who will send three new subscribers at one time. The pictures will be sent on rollers, postage paid. As an inducement for persons to subscribe note, and thus help you get the picture.. you may tell them that all who subscribe thus will not only receive THE COR PORAL all next year. but will receive the reetaing num bers of the year 1866,free. • We believe this to be the most liberal offer ever made by any periodical ror so small an effort. We have several reasons for making it; one is, that we want all THE CORPORAL'S children to have this superb engraving; another is, that we want ournew names for next year to begin coming in now, for convenience in arranging ourtmail list for January; another is, that we want to double our large list at once.; and another is,'that the distribution in this way of a, few copieso this. picture in every neighborhood, will show the people how desirable it is, and help agents largely in making sales, as this magnificent engraving will take the place of the poor, cheaply made pictures which are bought everywhere. 91 4 461 .061 46 PARLORaORGANS 147.309 89 169.481 95 52 . ,469 Z 17504 20,000 65.821 10,223 As Preminms for large lists Send for the October Number, which tells about it ' Families who wish to have the sweet harmony of a first-class instrument:will find this a rare opnortimitY to procure it. • Schools can thus provide their scholars with TEE LITTLE CORPORAL for a year, and receive an Organ or Melodeon free. d Children, show this to your.
