JOHNSON continued to do a big par
don business up to the time of his go
ing out of office. Arnold and Spang
ler, the assassination conspirators ; the
two Litmus convicts -several years
,
ago and sentenced to the Albany peni
teetary for stealing cotton in the South;
Braille, the Rebel pirate who commit
ted some high-handed murders-on the
lower Potomac during the war, and a
host of counterfeiters and mall robbers,
were all turned loose upon the public
before A.. 1. vacated his office. -
Up to the Jest hour: the mill was kept
running. Among the jest pardons or
dered were two notorious acoundrels,
named Dupuys and EnAght, recently
sentenced to the Penitentiary in New
York for violations of the revenue
laws. The paptre, however, were not
forwarded until after Grant got into
to oMce. Ria attention being directed
to the matter by- pistrict Attorney
Courtney, of New York, who tele
graphed him that the papers were still
in the hands of the U. States Marshall,
Gen. Grant ordered the papers to be
returned. A pardon not be being ef

PimainEerr Jo sox has given to
the country a 0111Pting salute in the
shape of a Farewell Address, dated
March 4. In style, temper and thought,
it Is modeled—indeed a re-produetion—
of his later veto messages. Every
line bears evidence of intense egotism,
the whole document being a scolding,
fault-finding fulininatioa against Con
gress, in bad taste and worse apisit, al
ternating wlrfrself-laudations. A. J.
tskes credit for peaceably disbanding
the army at the close of the was, in
stead of using it to subvert the govern
ment and make himself Ditator !
Just so- the thief would defend his
crime by pleading that he could have
committed murder, but didn't. This
new and last bantling of Johneonism
has fallen stillborn upon the stage—
ridiculed and denounced by the Press
generally as in exceedingly bad taste.
Amiss the Inauguration ceremonies,
on the 4th inst., the 41st Congress
promptly organized, Vice President
Colfax taking the chair in the Senate.
Mr. McPuEnsos called the House to
order, and after some little delay grgw
ing out of the sictilia of certain con
tested seats and the delegations from
t;eorgia and Louisiana, the Rouse
proceeded to elect a Speaker—Mr.
13LeIns, of Maine, the Republican
caucus nominee being elected, receiv
ing 136 votes to 57 for KERR, Democrat,
of Indiana. Mr. McPtrznsoN was re
elected Clerk, as were also the old
Doorkeeper, Sergeant-at-arms and
Postmaster.
CONORES will probably remain in
session about a month. - . The Commit
tee of the Senate, to whoin the subject
of the business to be brought forward
at the present session was referred,
agreed upon the measures, some five In
all, that in their judgment it is neces
sary to pass, all of which they think
can . be done within at least thirty days.
Among the measures which they rec
ommend are the bill to repeal the Civil
Tenure of Moe act, the bill to
strengthen the public credit which
Johnson refused to sign, and the Hoop
er bill relating to National banks. The
House ' on Friday, by a vote of 148 to
18, pie cedaimi a bill to repeal the Civil
Tenure Act.

to the Senate the nomination of Mr.

his services can be dispensed with.—
The .. Vmouncement of the names cre
ated ivigood deal of surprise, not ,tally
ing with any of the "slates" which
had been fixed up from time to .time.
They are, however, all sound Republi
cans, selected by Gen. Grant because
of especial fitness for their several po
sitions, and the Senate at once prompt
ly confirmed all the nominations-
Mr. WASHBURNE has long repre
sented the Galena district in Congress,
Is one of the oldest members of the
House, has Always-been an advanced
Republican r _ one of Grant's earliest,
and steadfast iriends;and by -common
consent was in advance assigned a po
sition in the Cabinet. He is a man of
ability, stern integrity, and will make
a prudent counsellor.
Mr. BOBtE is a prominent merchant
of Philadelphia, of the firm of Mc-
Kean, Borie do Co., long associated
with the East India trade. He is
President of the famous Union League
of Philadelphia, and being a man of,
wealth freely gave of his means to the
support of the Government during the
Rebellion. He is said to. be a gentle
man of great purity of character.
Mr. STEWABT, the new Secretary of
the Treasury, is well known as one of
the most successful and enterprising
merchants of the day. Having managed
his vast establishment in New York,
with its branches and ramifications
extending throughout Europe, with
signil success, it cannot be doubted
that his great executive capacity and
experience wilt enable him to adminis
treffhe Treasury Department to the
satisfaction of the conatry.

distinction in the army, and was sub
sequently elected Governor of
Agentleman of high and irreproacha

rience as Governor of his State will
well qualify him for hie duties.
Mr. CRESWELL, of Maryland, is
probably mascot the best known mem
bers of the Cabinet., and his selection
has been bailed with marked approval
by the Republican press. An mivanc
ed Republican, the mantle of the
brave-hearted Winter Davis fell upon
him, and after the death of Mr. Davis,
Cresswell gallantly led the forlorn hope
in Maryland, and commands the con

is an able lawyer, and has for the past
fifteen years been connected with the
Common Pleas and Supreme Court, on
the bench cf the latter of Which he
is the oldest associate judge.
LATER.,..RESIGNAT t ION OF JIILE.
STEWAiT
mmedlately after the nomination
and confirmation of BrEwAnT as
Secretary of the Treasury, it was dis
covered that under the Act of 1789,
organizing the Treasury Bureau, Mr.
Stewart could not qualify. The act
provides that no on. can be appointed
to position who has any interest, direct
or indirect, in importations or business
affected by import duties. Mr. Stew
art, having large mercantile operations
under his control, could not, of course,
take the requisite oath administered to
all employees of the Department. As
soon as the President's attention was
drawn to the matter, he officially com
municated to the Senate the difficulty
and suggested some modification of the
act to exempt Mr. Stewart. The latter,
as soon as he learned of the difficulty,
placed his resignation in the hands of
the President. Gen. GRANT, however,
was anxious to avail himself of Mr.
Stewart's known abilities and large
experience and laid the matter over,
in hopes that some arrangement could
be effected, by .which the new Secre
tary could qualify; Mr. Stewart, re
cognizing the graceful compliment
thus tendered him by the president
and anxious to reciprocate It even at
heavy personal sacrifice, made the
magnificent offer of assigning abso
lutely all hie interest in his heavy
mercantile business, to be appropriated
to charitable purposes and uses, during
his official term. He executed a form
al deed of trust to this effect, naming
Wm, Astor, 'Wm. E. Dodge, and
other well know egicens of New York,
as trustees.
This magnificent offer would, at the
lowest amputation, in four years have
disposed of siz-ipilliona of dollars for
charitable purposes. It IV4II at first
supposed that this deed would render
Mr. Stewart eligible, and General
Grant, though regretting so great a
personal sacrifice on Mr. Stewart's part,
was disposed to accept It, Go submit
ting the matter, however, to Chief
Justice Chase, Attorney General 'Ev
erts. Senators Trumbull, Fessendeor
Conkling, and other eminent lawyers,
some doubt was expressed whether
even this deed would qualify Mr. Stew
art; whereupon the latter addressed a
letter to the President thanking him
for the high honor conferred upon him,
and assuring him of his wittingness to
make any mai:4llole sacrifice to over
commilippt diftleultyi, but it was 1121
practiaille for him at_ sin to close out
his large business, siert It.desirable ;
and inasmuch as the temporary Arens

from doubts, and be wee' to
enter upon the Igatixtlettatieit of laws

least imputation of a disregard or ilia.

resignation, I;4en. Omer: at 0100 ac
cepted it, and lasmsOistely notified the
Senate of his dodo to remit his ree
olusendation It to arty chop of the
act of 1788.

On our first Eage-we give a detailed
account of the Inaitguration ceremo
nies, including the Inaugural address
of Presidant GRANT. It Is a brief,
tame, eitraight-forward, manly docti
-0304, 'thoroughly Republican in its
stand-points, and will be read with 4n-
West, as foreshadowing the general
policy of the new Administration.—
The Republican press of the country,
North and South, cordially endorse it.
The reader will look in vain for any
trace of the egotism and demagoguism
'Which characterized Johnson's oftibial
utterances, being in marked contrast
to A. J.'s productions in style, senti
ment and policy. The New Yorie
Tribune analyses it as follows :
I. I shall advise Congress—but not war
upon it.
11. My business is to execute the law. A
bad law will always remedy itself when the
people begin to suffer from it.
111. We,, have had-war,—now we must
have peace. We have one common coun
try, and any sentiment of sectional hatred
or revenge is unpatriotic.
IV. Our debt is the honorable conse
quences of the war. • It Is the price we pay
for Union. Not to pay it is a crime only
second to treason.
V. We must pay our debt without equiv
ocation. When we borrowed in our hour
of distress, the dollars we received were
gold to us. We must pay gold unless the
contract expressly stipulates to the con
trary.
VL American credit should be the best
in the world. Let us stop talking about
Repudiation and collect the revenues, and
we can make it the best in the world.
VII. I am in favor of building railroads
to the Pacific. But we must not issue
bonds for that purpose—until we resume
specie payments. We must no longer'
promise to pay a gold dollar until weL:re
celve a gold dollar. That was a war
; it must be stopped now.
America can never be great urn*
her name is synonymous with Fidteunier
Honor. Our flag means Liberty ; rt must
also mean Faith.
IX. We must resume sped
speedily ; perhaps not uow, bi
we can.
X. We should do unto other
we would have other nations d(
ica. If countries like Englan(
abama" precedents, they only
follow them.
XL As for the Indian, consci
to us. We must see
XII. As fur the Negro—equt
the States.

An Vapnb Hotbed Itapter of 'war Ills
tory—Lees Report of the 2tteasten
of Pennsylvania and Battle of Get
tysburg..
. The forthcoming number of the Histori
cal Magazine will contain a document of
marked Interest to all who concern them
selves with the history of the late war.
This document is Gen. Lee's full official re
port of the "Invasion of Pennsylvania and
the Battle of Gettysburg," It has never be
fore been published, and is communicated
from the original manuscript in the posses
slem of Mr. William Swinton.
It was the habit of Lee to publish brief
preliminary accounts of his military opera
tions as speedily as possible after their oc
currence; and subsequently, at his leisure,
to prepare full official reports. Such a brief
preliminary account of the great Pennsyl
vania campaign of 18n3, was made public
on the return of the Confederate army to
Virginia after the campaign. Lee, how
ever, never found opportunity to write his
complete and final report till the winter of
1864-5, when he lay within the lines of
Petersburg, besieged by Grant. „During
the retreat horn Petersburg and Richmond
in April, 1865, all the papers belonging to
the Confederate commander were burnt in
one of the headquarters' wagons, which
was fired by the person in charge under the
anticipafiton that It would fall into the hands
of the Union force. It happened, however,
that the mundscript report of the invasion
of Pennsylvania and the hat* of Gutys
tifirg was on the person of one of Lee's staff
officers. Thus preserved, it now sees the
light tor the first time.
The report is - very elaborate and much
too lengthy for any other than a brief digest
here: It begins with an account of the
manoeuvres put in practice by Lee with the
view of drawing the Union army under
Hooker from its defensive position along
the line of the Rappahanock, and then'pro
ceeds to sketch the subsequent operations
of the Confederate army up to the time of
crossing the Potomac. The general object
of the campaign is thus stated:
"Upon the retreat of the Federal army
commanded by Major General Hooker, from
Chancellorsville, it occupied the ground
north of the Rappahannock, opposite Fred
er?cksburg, where It could not be attacked
except at a disadvantwe.
"It was determined to draw it from this
position, and, if practicable, transfer the
scene of hostillities beyond the Potomac.
The execution of this purpose also em
braced the expulsion of the force under
Gen. Milroy, which had infested this lower
Shenendoah Valley during the preceding
winter and spring. •If unable to attain the
valuable result which might be expected to
follow a decide4l advantage gained over the
enemy in Maryland or Fenusylvani:l, it
wa3 !loped Ow we should at least so far
disturb his plan for the summer campaign
as to prevfmt its execution 'during the season
of active operati4s."
It appears that the initial niovegientc.. of
the campaign were begun as early - asilthe
first week in June, ISO, at which time the
commands of Longstreet and Ewell were
secratly transferred to Culpepper Court
House. After a while Hooker became sus
picious that something had taken place, and
accordingly he threw a reconnoitering force
across the Rappahannock below Fredericks
burg;, hut, ;gays Lee, "Hill's corps was left
,-to watch these troops, with instructions to
follow the mot% ments.of the (Confederate)
army as soon as they should retire.: Un
der this mask, Ewell shot rapidly aero-..s
into the Shenandoah Valley, and marching
quickly forward overwhelmed Milroy at
Winchester, and opened the gateway to the
passage of the Potomac. The result of
these preliminary operations in the Valley
is thus summed up by Lee •
Thee operq • io:.s rczutted in the expul
sion of the enemy from the Valley. the

siderable quamity of ordinance, e...unrni.,-
sary, and quartermasters' stores. Our
entire loss was furty-seven killet! Iwo
hundred and nineteen woundel. and six
missing."
At the sante time that Ewell was oi-orat
ing in the Valley, another rol, W a s assigned
Longstrect. "In order to tniskad Booker
as to our intentions,' says Lee, "Longstrect
left Culpepper Court House on the 15th of
June, and, advancing along the eastern side
of the Blue Ridge, occupied Ashbey's and
Snicker's Gape."' The effect of this man
oeuvre was to attract I lool:cr's attention
toward the Blue Ridge, and •learc him to
grave doubt as to whether his enemy de
slimed crossing the Potomdm into Mar:, land,
or falling upon the tear ,1 the Cniou army
in ease it should cross. While Hooker was
thus kept in suspense, the van of Lee's
army, under Ewell, passed the Potomac,
and, traversing Maryland. reached Cham
hershurg. The idivat:on of the tMion
army is thus depicted by Lee
"The Federal army was apphrently guard
ing the approaches to Washington,. and
manifested no disposition to assume the of
censive- In the meantime the progress of
Ewell, who Was already in Maryland, wll.l
Jenkins' cavalry advanced Into Pennsylva
nia as far as Chambersbarg, rendered it
necessary that the rest of the army should
be within bupportlng distance ; and Hill
having leached the Valley, Longstreet was
withdrawpo the west side of the Shenan
doah, anu the two corps encamped near
"General Stuart was directed to hold the
mountain passes with part of his cot - nomad,
as long as the enemy remained south of the
Potomac ; and, with theyemainder, to cross
into Maryland and place himself cm the
right.of Gen. EwelL Upon the suggestion
of the former officer, that he could damage
the enemy and delay his passage of the
Hier by getting in his rear, he was autho
rized to do so; and it was left to his dis
cretion whether to enter Maryland east or
west of the Blue Ridge; but he was in
structed to lose no time in placing his
command on the right of our column, as
soon as he could perceive the enemy mov
ing northward,
"On the 22d Gen. 4'loll parched foto
Pensylvanla with RliocVa and Johnson's
divisions, preceded by jenkin's cavalry;
taking the road from Basra . town, through
Chambersburg, to CarlialeiWhere lie arrived
on the 27th. Early's division, which had
occupied Boonsboro, moved by a parallel
road to Greenwood ; and, in pursuance of
Instructions previously given, Gen. Early
marched tnward York. On the 24th, Long
street-Alid Hill were put in motion to follow
Ewell; and on the 27th he encamped near
Chamnersburg."
It was not till the 25th that Hooker be
cameapprised that the whole hostile column
was really across the Potomac. Thereupon
he also passed the river and Immediately
threw lila force forward to Frederick, which
was both a bold and correct movement.
From the above extract from the report
of Lee it will be seen that Longstreet and
But were at Chamberaburg on the 27th of .
June. Meanwhile, however, Ewell had
moved northward toward the Susquehanna,
while Earjy was operating at York and .
Carlisle. The purpose of that move will
be fully disclosed in the following garage,
which throws an entirely new light on the
purposes of the Contederate Commander In
this invasion, and also explains- a great dad
of maneuvering that is otherwise quite In
comprehensible :
"It was expected, that, w soon as the
FAdrwal army should cross the Putman,
4214 m. Stuart would give notice of• Its love
-1401414 and notillng having been bean, from
hlfl since oar annular into Mar Asia, It
Was inibnid that the maw ha 4, Rot left
Virenia. s Men were therefore issued to

Gen. rep rly to York was designed, in part,
; ta • ypare for this undertaking, by breaking
railroad between Baltimore and Harris
* urg, and seizing the bridgea,over the Sas
sqUuceeiceibmldua at ~Pligbisvilte . d
( Cie lest e ro , y E i n a y a
number of bridges above and below.Yo4;
but,- on the approach of the troops sent by
him to Wrightsville, a body of militia
stationed at that place fled across the river
and burnt the b; idge in their retreat. Gen.
Early then matched to rejoin his corps.
The advance against Harrisburg was arrest
ed by intelliiteucc received from a scout, on
the night of the 2Sth, to the effect that the
army of Gen. Hooker had crossed the Po
tomac, and was approaching the South
Mountains. In the ribs cam of the cavalry,
it was impossible to ascertain his intentions,
but to deter him from advancing further
west and intercepting our communications ,
from Virginia, it was determined to con
centrate the army east of the mountains. -
Prom this passage the followingremarka
ble facts appear :
I. That Lee, owing
to the absence of the
cavalry of ' - Stuart, (who, making a bad
botch of his work, had allowed the Union
array to interpose itself between him and
Lee's army during the whole march north- ;
ward from the Potomac, and had therefore
not been able to follow out his instructions
of "placing himself on Ewell's right, ')
was, on the night of the 27th of June, at
which time he was at Chambersburg, not
•aware that the Union army had crosstid to
the north side of the Potomac. In paint of
fact, this nutvelrid net only rnaov, b u t on
that dt,:, t_nth of June, a cono,litration of
the colt— ? - .,ion army had been effected at I
i Frederic;;.
Y. That Lee ' s purpose in his march into
Pennsylvania, was to (Toes the Susviehan

audacity fir beyond what has been supposed
; to have been nit ermined by the Coafcil. rate
commander. Yet is rendered manin:st
by his own avowal: "The orders were is

vistas of possibility (Toned ut, by this bold

It is well known that the. netie,ll was pre
cipitated unknown to oath commander—it
was in fact the accidental meeting of two
heads of columns. The enemy was sub
ces4ul on the first days attack, and it seems
to have been only after L•cc came on the
field, after tbis flushbf victory, that he seri
ously entertained the ides of giving battle,
for he had promised his corps commanders
that he would not assume a tactical offen
sive, but would so insuereuvre as to compel
the Union army to attack him. He says •
'Lit had not been intended to delii - er
general battle so far from our base unless
attacked; but, coming -unexpectedly. upon
'the whole Fccl..ral army, to withdraw
through the mountains, with cur ,!xtert,-Ive
trains, would have been (Ellicott and d.mg.
erous. At the same time, we were unable
to await an attack, as the country was un
favorable for collecting supplies In the pre
sence of the ouomy, who could restrain our
foraging parties by holding the mountain
passes with local and other troops. A bat
tle had, therefore, become in a measure un
avoidable and the success already gained
cave hope of a favorable issue."
Lee's plan of battle for the find of July
stands thus in his own words.:
"It was determined, to make the princi
pal attack upon the enemy's left, and en
deavor to gain a position from which it was
thought that our artillery amid be brought
to bear withseffect. Longs et was direct
ed to place the divisions of McLane and
Hood on the right of Hill, partially envelop
ing the enemy's left,Which he was to drive
in. Gen. Hill wattlifereti to threaten the
enemy's centre, to prevent reinforcements
being drawn to
- either wing, and co-operate
with his right division on Longstreet's at
tack. General Ewell was instructed to
make a simultaneous demonstration upon
the enemy's right, to be converted Into a
real attack should opportunity offer."
The manner in which this plan was. car
ried into execution is well known ; but this
report reveals a multitude of facts which
throw new light on the events of the day.—
Thus the failure of Early to carry the posi.
don on thp Union right (Culp's Hill) is ao
-counted tor by the failure of expected sup
port 0110 right. "Gen. Ewell," says he,
"had directed Gen. Bodes to attack in con
cert 'with Gen. Early, covering his 4ht,
and had requested Gen. Lane, then com
manding Pender's division, to co-operate
on the right of Bodes. When the time to at
tack arrived, Gen. Hodes; not having his
troops in position, was unprepared to co
operate with Gen. karly, and before he
could gpt in readinesi, the latter had, been
obliged to retire from! want of expected sop'
port on his right." . . •
This second day's action was, on the
whole, favorede to the Confederates, or at
least it seemed so, for they had succeeded
in disrupting and driving from Its position
the entire left wing of the Union army;- 4

the belief that; with the proper concert of
action autkyrith. the inereased support that
the positione gained on the right would en
able the artlllely to render the assaulting
colt:mill s we should ultimately succeed ;and
t was accordingly alkermined to continue
the attack.
The general plan wa.s unchanged. Long
street, reinforced by Pickett's three Uri•
grades, which arrived near the battle-field
dining the afternoon•of the 2nd, was order
ed to attack the next morning ; and Gen.
Ewell was ordered to meall the enemy's
right at the same time. 'The latter, during
the night, reinforced Gen. Johnson with
two brigades, and one from Early's divi
stun.'
The grand attack of the third day (July
3) is given. with great minuteness of tactical
detail ; and this description, taken in con
nection with the official reports of our own
officers, renders the whole course of the bat
tle unusually intelligible. We have room,
h , :wever, for no more than the following
concise account of Pickett's famous charge
ov Ildhcock's line :
"The troops moved steadily on, tinder a
heavy 'fire of musketry and artillery ; the
main attack being, directed against the
tnemy . .; left centre. Ilk bat teries reopened
es soon as they appeared. our own, hav
ing nearly exhausted their ammunition in
the prof acted cannonade that preceded the
advance of the infantry, were unable to
reply or render the necessary support to the
attacking Firty. Owing to this fact, which
was unknown to me when the assault took
place, the enemy was enabled to throw a
strong force of infantry against our left, al
ready wavering under a concentrated fire of
artillery front the ridge, in front, and from
Cemetery Hill, on the left. It finally gave
way: and the right, after penetratim , the
enemy's line, entering his advanced works,
and capturing some of his artillery, was at
tacked, simultaneously, in front and on both
tlanks, and driven back with heavy loss.
The troops were rallied and reformed ; but
the enemy did not pursue.'
Lee does not seek to refine away the
magnitude and thoroughness of the defeat
that befell him at Gettysburg. He, how
ever, retrains from giving his losses, simply
stating that "the army sustained severe
loss." Tile report is remarkably candid
and impartial, and will form a very valua
ble contribution to the sum of evidence from
which the historian of the war will finally
mak e up his record.

DuniontaT Government officers, when
detected, have a hard time of it in Russia.
Recently, some fifty officials were detected
in perpetrating a series of fAuds, extending
over a number of years. Every one of the
guilty parties was sentenced to hard labor
in Siberia. It would not be a bad idea
for the United States to imitate the Russian
Government in this matter, by malting a
penal colony otAlaska.
IT was a touching answer of a Christian
sailor, when asked idly he remained so
calm in a fearful storm, when these& seemed
ready to devour the ship. He was not sure
that he could swim ; but he said, "Though
I sink, I shall but drop into my Father's
hand, for He holds all these waters there."
IT is well known by butter makers, that
the ore= which first rises on milk makes
Weed' butter than that which rises after
standing along time. It is said the milk that
makes the butter that queen Victoria eats
la skimmed twice, and twelve hours after
wards it is churned.
HOUSER EEPERB, and all others want
ing anything in the house-keeping lino,

extensive Ware-room, near the Passenger

Jrietzrrit. Sozzrz.-- , A fear days ago; a ter
rible tragedy °ceased at R. J. McKehney's
mill, about twelve miles below Vincennes,
Ind., between Jonathan 011 aver and Mil,
ton Bergstresser,
,resulting in the instants
death of one of the patties and the mobable
mortal wounding E the other. The guar_
rel originated over a game of cards, in
which Bergstresser struck Ollterer with
brass knucklts. The latter then re
tired, aimed himself with a huge hunting
ku i re, and encountering Betgstresser
plunged it into him, the blade penetrating
the ri;ht breast infleling a terrible wound.
The ii;jmed man, in spite of Ida dreadful
wound, tna to his way into Abe house, pro
cured a doubled barreled shot gun, and dis
charged its contents into the back of his
adversary, who was retreating, killing hint
almost instantly. Both men had home
good moms atat,ng their frivds and asso
ciates, and were regarded as among the
most prominent and reliable workmen at
the mill.
