Jeff Davie Captured.
The news has finally reached us, as
we were positive it would, that Jeff.
.Davis .has fallen into our hands.. After
escaping, narrowly however, for some
time the vigilance of ,onr detectives
and soldiers, he has been captured at
*he town of Irwinsville, Georgia. This
town is situated in- Irwin county, in
the southern section of the State, is
seventy-five . or eighty miles south
least from Macon, and is about the
- same.distance from the Atlantic coast
as from the Gulf of Mexico. It is dif
ficult. to presume:whether he was flee
ing to Mexico or toTurope. We sup
poise, however, Europe. But his
fugitive journey is ended ; and his
narreer as a crimintff prisoner has com
menced. To Washington, no .doubt,
he wilt be taken, perhaps secretly.
There,let him await and receive his
, deont--thanging by the neck till dead.
It' is an ignominious fate, we must
-predict; that awaits the guilty man,
eovered in tho crime and writhing in
fie tortures of iniquity, but who can
it will riot be a just one. . In his
Aleath,asthe chief of the once proud but
-now killed confederacy, the Govern
ment will be partially avenged for the
Wrongs committed under his jurisdic
gen and we might say sanction.
The National Finances.
On the 81st of March last, an offi
cial statement showed the public
debt to be twentyAhreo hundred and
,sixty seven million. Laws in opera-
Alen provided for six hundred million
,more, viz: tIM Seven-thirty loan, now
being so rapidly taken. This is be
lieved to be sufficient, With the ordin

What the Emperor Napoleon has done
thus far .in Mexico has been done
without any opposition from this Gov
ernment,without a word of rebuke,
lint rather with a spirit of aequies
fence on our -part—and though such
would probably not have been the
ease had not= our civil war been in
progress, the President will never
theless- actin a perfeotly fair mannor
toward Napoleon now that our hands
itre.free, and meet him, if at all, with
the, honorable weapons of diplomacy.
It maybe doubted, however, wheth
er any immediate attention. will be
given to the subject, outside of forbid
ding buccanneering expeditions from
this country. This, it is felt, must be
done to prevent even the possibility of
su i plearient relations with France, and
at ate tiametime, maintain our neutral
position. Such.aposition Mr Seward de
clared to be ourproper course more than
nyeai since, and it is not likely it will
be departed from even in the winking at

OVER THIRTY MILLIONS ONE DAY!
—On Tuesday last there was received
at the office of Jay Cooke., Subscrip-
tion agentfor the United States 7-80
Loan, the sum of Thirty Million dol
lars and over. What individual or
company Loan has ever boon so pop
ular, or made such rapid and over
whelming sales! This most emphat
ically proVes that the Government
Loans far surpass in permanent safety
and security every other loan in
the country. And why should it not:
The Government has shown its ability
to protect itself against Powerful ene
mies, and coming out of the struggle
wholly triumphant, it has shown its
•strength to outlive the most trying
storms of peril and destruction,. At the
rate of $30,000,000 a day, the Loan will
soon be exhausted, and the sooner sub
scriptions' are handed in to the
agents, the better it will be for those
who desire investing in this most pop
ular and reliable Loaii.
Two weeks ago the amount of the
E 0 con d series of the Loan sold and
reported, irxelusive of voucher's con
versions, was about $145,000,000.
The cash dates last week wore about
$40,000,000, this week, $98,000,000.
The total sales of the second series has
rewhod 8298,000,000.
FII , .A.NCIAL.—`Whore continues to be
an upward tendency in Government
securities. This is in part owing to the
recent advance in prices On the other
side.of the Atlantic and the impression
that the largo purchases which have
been made on 'the Continent, will soon
be increased by our securities again
coming into favor in Great ; Britain,
the -.capitalists - of which will not be
long inyetilizing the fact that there is
an intrinsic value in the gold interest
bearing bonds of the United State's,
through which they may retrieve a
portion of the losses resulting from the
dabbling in the bubble delusions of a
Southern Confederacy. But the home
demand, incident upon the case in
money matters, and the growing
confidence that the national troubles
aro drawing to an end when the Gov.
ernment will be able to adopt still
further measures of retrenchment, and
to place its interest bearingissues upon
a basis that must lead to an enhance• ,
ment in themarket value.
4Eir That foul and unnatural villain
—that knave of knaves—asa ofassos—
thief of thieves—George Sanders, has
written the following to the President
of the United States :
Yoir proclamation is a living burn.
lug lie, known to be such by yourself
and all your surroundings, and all the
hired perjurers in Christendom shall not
deter us from exhibiting to the civili
zed world your hellish plot to murder
our Christian President.
This IoW fellow has a passion for
writing letters to distinguished people.
He once sent a telegraphic dispatch to
Old Buck., which cost 8125 25. His
billingsgate on the present occasion is
quite as impudent and more detestible•
He ought to captured and whipped
at the cart's end, front Washington to

nts.. Gov. Curtin has made arrange
ments that wheitever a Pennsylvania
soldier is killed, or dies of diseaso while
in the service, transportation is fur
nished for one person from his home to
the place where the remains .of the
soldier may be, and also for both
the person who goes for . the body of
the deceased and the remains back to
his home. The transportation is fur
nished by Colonel 11. 11. Gregg,.Chief
of 'Transportation at Hang sbu rg. In
applying for Transportation the name
of the deceased soldier, his rank, com
pany, regiment, date of death and the
name of the friend going for his re
mains should be given.

several military courts, and in accord

will be the first .execution of the kind
since the beginning of the rebellion ,and

tion of our heroin Executive.
vs..it is desired to be known
whether Jeff. Davis, in his contracted
.circumstances, does not want to be
"let alone;" no-doubt ho has remarked
"I 'want to be let alone;" but we will'
heed the las much as we heeded the

no effect, but his head. may.
.Gold has been on a steady
cline for the past week, and the
tuts - have now reached the compara
tively low standard of 1,30. Now .
that this great guaging commodity
is deeliaeing, is there not reason to
suppose that tbo price of goods wil
also decline as readily as, they were to
advance when gold advanced ? We
can see no reason other than the scar
city of labor and the mere caprice of
the merchant and prodiner that will
keep their goods at the present high
figures. We patiently looking for

by House creek, to Irwinvillo, 'arri
ving there at midnight pf the 9th. Jeff.
Davis had not arrived.
From citizens,
.Pritchard learoed,
that his party were encamped two
miles outside of the town. Ho made
his disposition and surrounded tho
camp before day . . Harden had camp
ed at 3p. within two•miles, as he
afterwards learned froM Davis. The
trail being•too indistinct to follow, he
pushed on at 3 Sc., had gone hut lit;
tie more than . ono mile, when his men
wore fired upon by MN) of the 4th
Michigan.. A fight ensued, both par,
ties exhibiting the greatest determina
tion.: Fifteen Minutes elapsed before
the mistake was discovered:: The firs
iug in this skirmish was the first,war
ning Davis received.
The captors roporlcd that he hasti
ly put on ono of his wife's dresses
and started for the woods, closely
followed by our men, who at first
thought Lim a woman, but seeing
his bootg while running suspected 'his
sex at once. The viten was a short
one, and the rebel President was soon
brought to.
He brandished a bowie knife of ele
gant pattern, and showed signs of bat
tle, but yielded promptly to the per
suasion of the Colt's revolvers, with
out compelling the mon to fire. He
expressed great indignity at the ener
gy with which ho was pursued, saying
that ho had believed our Government
more magnanimous than to huot down
women and children.
Pars. Davis remarked to Col. Har
den, alter tho excitement was over,
that the men bad better not provoke
the President, or ho might hurt some
of 'em.

The Arch Traitor Jeff. Davis—His
Guilt Proven,
- There are but few parsons who are
really willing to exonerate the great
head of the rebellion, Jeff. Davis, from
complicity in the plot, to assassinate
not 'only President Lincoln, but the
leading men who surrounded hint, and
therefore everything relating to the
death of our-late lamented President is
sought for with avidity. In view of this
wn sco it stated that . Rev. V . : - 11. Ry
der. D. D., of the. first Universalist
Church . of Chicago, who was in Rich
mond immediately after its evacua
tion by the rebel forces, found among
the papers scattered around the State
Ilause and on the streets of that city,
letter . written in RichMond; dated
February 11th, 1865, (which is to be
exhibited, in connection. with other
papers, bearing the sign manual of
Jeff. Davis, at the Great Fair in Chi
cago,) asking his attention to a. mat
ter about which the writer had form
erly held a . conversation with him. It
was a plot to burn and destroy Feder
al vosselSwherever found. The wri
ter states that the secret; of the
composition (previously spoken of .by
him) was known only to two men;
that its nature was such that it could
he used with entire safety, and by
persons unacquainted with its use;
that men - in the Military 'service need
not be set into. the "enemy's country"
to do the work, but that it could be
performod.,by . -figents; that.by its use
they could- - .
Ist. Burn every vessel leaving a
foreign port for thiseountry.
2d. Burn every transport sent from
Northern ports to the pouth., .
3rd. Burn every vessel °nth() Miss
issippi river, .and carry consternation
into the ranks of the eneuly 'every
where.
The writer further requested ,that
the "President" would see, and obtain
the required infermation. It closed
with the most profound assurances of
respect to the reeipie.nt, and faith in
the issues of the rubel cause.
the.baeli of the document was

TRIAL OF THE ASSASSINS.
Appearance of Counsel,
Washington, May 13.
The court is held at the old peni
tentiary, in an upper room, white
walled, with two windows east and
north. . These. windows are ironed
with flat bars along the wall. On
the west side, on raised seats, were
Dr. Mudd, David C. parold, Lewis
Payne, Edward Spangler, Of Ford's
theatre, Michael O'Laughlin, Atzer
ott and Samuel Arnold.• Sitting, out
side. the palling was Mrs. Surratt, lean.
ing on a small green baize table. Be
yond her, on the other side of the ta
ble, near the Northern window, sat
the counSel for the accused-Thos.
Ewing, son of the Ohio-ex-Senator;
Anthony Stone, Walker Cox, Rover
dy.Johnson, Aiken and Clampett.
Running east and west, beside the
northern wall there is a table, also
covered with green baize; at this sat
the court. ' - •
Dr. Mudd looked calm and collect
edrand.attentive, leaning. on the rail-,
itig that Surrounded him, as if to relieve .
ie Wrist from the Weight of the hand- -
cuffs that encumbered them.
Arnold was- restless, raising : his
hands. to ':his hair with a nervous
twitching:and varying the direction
of his looks—now glancing from .
face to face, - then bowing his
head on his hand which was support
ed omhis knees. His handcuffs were
somewhat peculiar, not being connect
ed as. usual with a chain, but by a bar,
'about eight inches in length.
Payne, dressed in a gray WOol
en shirt and dark pants, seemed more
intent in trying to obtain a full view
of the sunny landscape through the
barred windoWs, than of confining his
attention to the details of the proeeed
inge, As ho looked; astrange dreami
ness pervaded his face. His dark
hairirregularly H parted, hung over
his forehead, and often clouded his
dark blab eyes. .His thick, somewhat
protruding lips were as if glued togeth
er. His legs were crossed, and his
ironed hands rested on the knee of
the upper one.
Laughlin was • observant of every
Move made in the cola; he leaned
back with hiS head against the wall
fully expressing his broad, but not
high, forehead crowned with a full,
bushy head of ,crowned;
hair.
Atzeret, a !Dim some five feet six or
seven inches in height, might „have
been taken, had it not been for his
manacles, as a mere spectator. He
possesses a style of face most com
mon in Southern Ger Many, though
his beard and hair aro of a reddish
Sand' color, and his eyes light.
A police officer sat beside each pris
oner.
Mrs. Surrat has already been cor
rectly- described. A .stout buxom
widow, fitting Falstaff's ideal'fair, fat
and forty," although it is ascertained
that she is far beyond that period oflife;
having nearry reached her grand cli
matrix. She was dressed in black
and looked a little flushed, but we
failed to notice the cold, cruel gleam
in her gray oyes, which some of the
gentlemen of the press,hayo iittributed
to her.

A Swindler Personates Major Gener

$lO,OOO
[rrom the Chicngo Times, May Sth.]
By far the most gigantic swindle
which has been hoard for many days
was
,attempted on Friday night by a •
daring adventurer, who represented .'
himself as Major Gen. Hancock.
&bout ten o'clock on Friday night,
a stout, portly gentleman with grey'
whiskers; of a rather dignified aspect,
and wearing the uniform of a Major-
General in the United States Army,
entered a hackney carriage and drove
to the private. residence of Mr. Henry
Greenebaum, banker, at the corner of
Wood and Lincoln streets. Ho was
oit - very pressing and important busi
nesS, and handed in a
. cardon which
was the name of "Major-General Han
cock, United. States - Army.", Mr.
Greenebaum happened to• bo 'OM
opera that evening, but his - brother,
David Greemobaum, received the Gen-.
eral with all the courtesy duo • to • his
station, and escorted him to the opera
house, where ho introduced hiM to'bia
brother. • .
Mr. Greenolmum asked.: . . the distin
guished visitor what he could ,do for.
him,- When the General presented the
folloWing letter of introduction pur
porting to bo from Hon. Wm. B. Og
den of this city: ' ••
.Friday Evening, • •May '5, 1365.
Henry Greenebaum, Esq.—My. Dear.
take pleasure in making you,

St. Louis in connection with business
of his new corps. --He wishes to com
plete some banking business before ho
leaves in the Morning, - and I have -re
commended your house to MM..
presume you are acquainted with his
father-inlaw, J. Cooke, Esq., - of Phila
delphia. Any favor you may see fit to
do' for him will be considered'as a per•
sonal favor for me.

• [Signed] Wm. B.• Ogden.:•:.
Mr, Greenebaum perused this note—
which was written with a very suc
cessful imitation of Mr. Ogden's hand
writingand again asked the' Genet%
al what Were his wishes. - The Genor
al told him that he wanted a.. loan- of
ten . thousand dollars, for immediate
use, and offered to give a'draft.paya
ble at sight on Jay Cook, Philadelphia.
Mr Greenebaum thought it"was a cu
rious circumstance that Mr. Ogden;
who was not in the. habit of transact
ing' business with hiin, should have
written such a note instead of person
ally introducing - the General' to him;
and a suspicion at once flaahed across
his mind that the-letter was a forged
one. HdthereupOn frankly informed
the General' that be could not cash
his draft without being fully satisfied
that all was perfectly 'straight. - -The
General politely acquiesced, and at

[Signed] W. S. Hancock..
Yesterday morning the following
telegram, purporting to be from Jay
Cooke, was received by Mr. Greene
baum at his residence:
Henry Greenebaum & Co., Bankers:
Yes, for any amount he may. require:
This was of course a bogus despatch
concocted by -the General. lie had
succeeded in obtaining, by what means
is unknown, ono of the regular enrol
opes of the Office, and the whole trans
action might have appeared plausible
enough, •
Meanwhile, Mr. Greenebaum had
become satisfied in - his own mind
that the whole thing was a swindle:
He had- discovered that Mr. Ogden
Was not.in the city, and that the sup
posed 'Maj.-Gen: Hancock was 'not his
guest. After leaving the opera on
Friday - night. he•went ••to the central
police,station, for the. purpose of noti.
lying the superintendent, but found
that Capt Turtle and all the detec
tives had left the office.
Ho 'determined, however ; to sift the
mystery to the bottom, and made up
his mind to remain. in the city-all
night forlhat purpose. Had .he car
ried out his intention, there is but
little'doubt but he• would have -suc
ceeded in.eapturing the swindler, but
Mrs. Greenebaum, who became alarm
ed in case her husband might get into
ti•ouble; dissuaded loin. His- purpose
was - to draw the rascal into the Snare
by meeting-him as appointed in the
morning and banding him over the
money,. having ono. : : of our "Hawk
shaWs". seeretedin the bank ready to
pounce upon him, But the scheme .
failed. Mr. Greonebatim did not come
into the city so early as he intended,
and the general, who by: that time
probably began to scent some danger.
in the wind, decamped nor has heleen .
seen 'or heard. of since.
In - Order to facilitate his- swindling
operation, lie managed to impose on'
one of the morning . papers, which on
Saturday morning published in, the
local column an announcement that
Maj. Gen. W. S. Hancock, his wifaand.
two - members . of his staff, had • passed'
through the city on their way. to-':St.

wa.."lnformation was received at
