ta,.. The State authorities are ar
ranging to procure the names of all
Pennsylvania soldiers who perished at
any or all the rebel pris'ons, and who
were buried at such localities. Wher
ever the marks correspond with the
records of the prison, and there is no
doubt of the identity of the remains,
the Bata° will be published, and at the
proper time trar,sportation will be is
sued for • the removal of the bodies
Active efforts will at once be made to
gather all the facts of importance in
connection with the Pennsylvanians
buried at Andersonville. A State
agent will be despatched to that local
ity fully instracted to examine the
condition of the graves, secure full par
ticulars concerning their marki, and
make such other arrangements as will
facilitate the removal of these honored
remains with the least possible trouble
to the surviving relatives oil the dead
and as little necessary expense to the
State.
TREATMENT or PRISONERS.--The
opinion seems to be gaining ground,
that our, prisoners in the hands of the
rebel authorities were subjected to the
inhuman treatment that they experi
enced, by a deliberate policy. Inves
tigations aro in progress which will
show whether this opinion is correct
or not. If it shall turn out to bo in
correct, we shall certainly rejoice, as
human nature will be exonerated from
ono of the most odious imputations
ever laid upon it. If, on the other
hand, it shall be ascertained that our
poor mon were slaughtered in thou
sands by the process of starvation,
through wicked design or scarcely
less :wicked neglect, the fiendish con
trivers ..anct agents of such a cruelty
should, without exception, pay the
forfeit,: of their miserable lives for the
deed. We wish it may turn out other
wise. -. It is sickening to think of such
indescribable anguish and misery of
mind and body as our mon endured till
death relieved them, as deliberately
planned and inflicted. Savages never
perpetrated such atrocity.
The Secretary of State eon tin ges
his duties in almost perfect health.—
The novel and extraordinary splint
was removed from his face by order of
his surgeons, and proves to have been
a marvellous success; and very few
traces are to be seen of the original ac
cident and the subsequent assault of
the baffled assassin, with the excep
tion of a slight swelling on the side of
his right cheek. Mr. Seward rose on
Wednesday , morning, dressed himself,
and perfarmed his toilet, even to sha
ving, without assistance, for the first
time sinee.his accident. His friends
and the country will be glad to learn
that ho has entirely recovered the use
of his.arms, ono of which was fearfully
maimed when be was thrown from his
carriage. For seventy days of three
months of suffering, Mr. Seward's
: mind has been engaged in the transac
lion of public business—a fact which
will enable him, with comparative
ease, to resume the active duties of
his Department.
CONFESSING THE SINS OF TRAITORS. -
-The Mobile, Alabama, Tribune, con
fesses the sins of the South thus :
"We have sinned against the pro
gress of the age. xio man can deny
this; and yet-we have done it with
a conscientiousness - which ought to
provoke the compassion .of those
on whose mercy we must rely.
We are as good as they. We have
acted as honorably as they. We
hare suffered infinitely more than they
of the North.. A few years' famine
.and pestilence, with occasional earth
quakes, would not have so hurt us as
has this four yeart? war."
l'Auvous.—The government, wo are
informed, purposes to proceed with
caution in the matter of. extending
pardons to rebels: . It is deemed advi
sable to give the precedence to efforts
for restoring the civil functions in the
States. _This appears to be altogether
the preferable course, inasmuch as the
interests of the many should be attend.
ed to before the wishes of the few, and
those few, the ones who have been
deeply concerned in the rebellion.
TFIE POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT.-
The Post Office Department shows a
net profit, for the last six months of
1864, of $732,230 09, or; at the rate of
thillion and a half a year. The profits
for:therst 7 six months of 1865.wi1l be
yet largor. During the last six months
of Mr. Buchanan's administration
the loss for carrying and distributing
the mails was 63,400,000. The postal
receipts from 'the States in the Union
in 1864 exceeded those •of all the
States in 1561 by 52,972,000,

His Present Condition—A Rebel Sol
dier's Solicitude for him---Hoto he
wanted to Help him.
A special despatch froni Washington
to the New York Tribune says i •
A gentleman just from Fortress
Monroe reports the health of Jeff Davis
much better than it has been at any
time during his incarceration. His
meals are sent direct from the table" of
Dr. Craven,his attendant physician,hy
his" daughter; and bYtor delivered to
the officer .having immodiate'eharg,e
over him.
The Doctor is keeping an accurate
journal of his professional interviews
with Mr. Davis, which will hereafter
throw some interesting ' , Vs - of light
on the impriBournont of the archtrait•
The -following is a copy of a letter
addressed to his Excellency President
Davis, and recently received by the
commandant at the Fortress:
"My _DEAR OLD FRIEND : You must
by this time be nearly out of money.
I send you the oncldsed. Take it, and
pay your faro to hell withit."
The enclosure consisted - of 615 in
Confederate money. The writer of the
letter is an ox-rebel soldier, and if
slightly heartless and a trifle profane,
his letter, serves to show the feelings
of thousands of S. D.'s dupes and vie•
tims.
Tho report that Jeff Davis and C.
C. Clay would he tried by military
commission does not seem to be with.

authority that at least one of the mom

`Total Destruction of Barnum's 111usezen
and Many.Ncighboring Buildings.
A.ssociatell Press Account.]

Interesting News from Texas,
Additional accounts of the exodus
of the rebels from Texas to Mexico
aro also given in late Galveston des-
patches. The rebel General Jo. Shot
by, with three thousand of his follow
ers, and accompanied by ox-Governor
Moore and Allen, of Louisiana, and
other extinguished political luminaries
of the Into confederacy, were on the
way. They had transportation and
supplies for six months, and all were
armed, with the weapons which they
faithlessly failed to surrender to the
National Government, in accordance
with the terms of Kirby Smith's ca
pitulation. They profess, though, that
they wore merely going to Mexico
as emigrants, and not to fight for either
republicans or imperialists. Many of
the Texas people who chose or aro
compelled to remain in their own
State 'are much imbitti3red against
these fugitives, and especially the
leaders, who flee from the troubles in
to which they have succeeded in get
ting their helpless dupes. Those who
stay behind aro deeply engrossed and
agitated just now over the reconstrue,
tion, amnesty and free labor questions,
and aro casting about for. tho ways
and means of surmounting the general
prostration in which the war has left
all manner of induStry ih the State.
It is estimated that there still re
main in Texas from one hundred
thousand to ono hundred and fifty
thousand bales of old crop cotton,
while, owing to various unfavorable
circumstances, it is thought that this
year's crop will not exceed fifty thous
and bales. It is also calculated that
' there are within the State, accumula ,
ted during the war,five million pounds
of wool.
A 0 RIC ULTIJILAL PROSPECTS.—Reports
received at the Agricultural Bureau
from all parts of the country represont
that the crops of hay, potatoes and
corn, Will bo larger than any previous
year.
The bay crop . will bo fully one-third
larger than ever before known. Oat's
are also reported to be very superior,
and a larger crop grown than for
years previous. This is very satisfac
tory, when it is considered that the la
boring , population has been so largely
reduced by men going into,the army,
and will afford employment to thous
g.nds • of soldiers now returning home,
to aid in gathering the ahniniant
crops.
THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH CABLE.—
This wonderful production of man's
handiwork is precisely 2300 nautical,
or about 2600 English statute miles, in
length. It contains 25,000 miles of
copper wire, 35,000 miles of iron wire;
and 400,000 miles of hempen strand.
And this is the way they are inlaid : •
The uppermost strand or electric eon
•dintor:proper is composed of seven
fine copper wires; interwoven or twis
ted together, and then insulated with
Chattorton's Compound and then af
terwards with four distinct layers of
gutta percha, each of which is insula
ted from the conductor and from each
other by the same substance. Outside
of the gutta penila is wound eleven
iron wires, each of which is likewise
covered with hemp strands that had
previously boon soaked in tar.
Tho whole cable was _about 100
working days in making, and will boar
a strain of about eight tons. It is coil
ed in . about three equal parts on board
the Great Eastern, which at last ac
counts, was nearly ready to sail.
The Great Eastern is between six
and seven hundred feet in length, will
carry on this occasion, upwards of .
eighteen thousand tons, and draw thir
ty feet of water. She will be attended
by her Majesty's Ship Terrible, also a
vessel of great size and power, to give
the mammoth ship aid' if necessary.
They are expected on the' American
side about the 20th or 25th of July.
At this moment, likely, the steam
ship Groat EaStern is reeling tho
cable off at the rate of six miles per
hour. Every precaution has been adop
ted to prevent a second failure of the
enterprise. Tho powerful batteries
used, so say the electricians, will be
able to force from six to eight words
through per minute, perhaps more.
By agreement with the English Clov
en:Mont, the. charge for each word is
Gd, at which low rate it is apprehen
ded the line will bo overwhelmed with
work.' The idea has, therefore, been
suggested to the shareholders to aban
don the Government patronage, and
make the charge 41por word, by which
change, it is supposed,. a million of
pounds may be realized yearly,. a sum
almost double the entire expense of the
lino fully completed. A very short
time will determine the commercial of-
feels to bo produced by this instanta
neous comm unication with Europe.
CLOSING ITS LABORS. -TllO officers
of the U. S. Sanitary Commission have
issued a farewell, address to the bran
ches and aid societies, stating that no
further collections of supplies or mon.
ey need be made. The work of the
CommiSsion is almost done, and no
further requisitions will be made'upon
the public. The branches of the San
itary Commission and Aid Societies
aro requested to forward such supplies
as they have on hand. The address
says, in conclusion
"Wo have tried to do our duty im
partially, diligently, wisely. For the
means of carrying on this vast work,
which has grown up in our hands,
keeping pace with the growing immen
sity of the war, and which we aro now
about to lay doWn after giving the
American public an account of our
stewardship, we aro chiefly indebted
to the money created by the fitirs
which American women inaugurated
and conducted, and to the supplies
collected by you under our organiza-
tion. To you, then, is finally due the
largest part of whatever gratitude he
' longs to the Sanitary Commissidn.—
It is as it should be. The soldier will
return to his home to thank his own
wife, mother, sister, daughter, for so
tenderly looking after. him in camp
and field; in hospital and prison ; and
thus it will be seen that it is the homes
of the country which have wrought
' out this great salvation, and that the
men and women • of America have an
equal part in its glory and its joy.—
invoking the blessing of God upon
you all, we aro gratefully and proudly
your fellow laborers."
The Rebel Archives.
WASHINGTON, July 10 —Major Ship
man, of the First Wisconsin cavalry,
arrived hero last evening from Macon,
having in charge forty boxes of cap
tured archives of the rebel Government.
They consist of a complete record of
the proceedings of the rebel Provisional
Congress, held at Montgomery in the
spring oflB6l. These documents were
captured from,Howell Cobb, in whose
possesion they had been placed for
safe .keoping. The entire official his-
tory of the rebel army of Tennessee,
comprising all its record while under
command of, Bragg, Johnston and
Hood, • aro part of this lot. Also some
books of the rebel Treasury Depart
mont, captured at Albany, Georgia,
which part they had reached as a part
of Jeff. Davis' train.
Among the papers of . Jeff. Davis,
captured by the Govenmont, has been
discovered several documents of vital
importance in determining the guilt
and complicity of Jeff. Davis in the
conspiracy plot. These documents arc
of such importance as probably to de
termine the authorities in favor of the
trial of Jeff. Davis before a military
commission upon the charge of assas
sination. If, however, it, shall be do.
tei•mined to try li!tri on a charge of
treason, he will be tried in a civil
court.
President 'Lincoln, according' to
"Agate," of the Cincinnati Gazette,
was favorable- to the escape of Jeff.
Davis. The late President is repre
sented, on the authority of General
Sherman, as having said:
"Out in Sangamon county there was
an old temperance lecturer who was
very strict in the doctrine and prac
tice of total abstinence. Ono day, af
ter a long rido in tho hot sun, he stop
ped at the house of a friend, who pro
posed making a Lemonade. As the
mild beverage was being mixed, the
friend insinuatingly asked if he would
not like the least. drop of something
stronger, to brace up his nerves after
the exhausting heat and exercise.—
'No,' replied the lecturer, couldn't
think of it; I'm opposed to it on prin.
oiple. But,' he added, with a longing
glance at the black bottle that stood
conveniently at hand, 'if you could
manage to put in a drop unbeknownst to
me, I guess it wouldn't hurt me much
"Now, General," Mr. Lincoln is said
to have concluded, "I'm bound to op
pose the escape of Jeff. Davis; but if
you could manage to let him slip out
unbeknownst like, I guess it wouldn't'
hurt Inc much l"

to have been murdered by them.
BAs the conspiracy trial is over,
it is expected that that of Jefferson

The Tomb of President Lincoln.
The tomb in Which the President's
remains, together • with those of his
little son, arc placed, is kept carpeted
with fresh fldwors, and about and up;.
on the coffin as they lie in view are
garlands and clusters of buds and Wes.
soms, ever fresh and fragrant, so that
the very breath of the, sepulchre is
rendered redolent and pure. Looking
into the tomb the visitor con discern
nothing offensive —no token of the
'damp vaults dayless gloom"—deem
himself gazing into some floral cave
whose tenants are the graces and sum
mer nymphs.
The taste which is thus displayed
in Tendering the vault attractive is
most commendable, and will brighten
the recollection of every pilgrim who
has here gazed upon the dead.—
Mr. Willis, in addition to this, has also
opened a hook upon which every visi
tor can register ,his name and append
such remarks as the scenes may sug
gest to his mind. Since the 14th of
May last some two thousand names of
visitors have thus been registered, re
presentatives of every State in the
Union, and also the Canadas. Ono
hack upon every day during the
week, and two upon the Sabbath, are
kept running:between the city. and the
cemetery for the accommodation of
visitors, and all this has been done
since the remains of our late President
were placed at rest in this pleasant•bu
rial place, since Oak :Ridge has held
the dust of this great man. And in
making this notice we would conclude
by adding that this is not only to be
the resting place of the President, but
there is to be erected a pile to his
memory which shall stand through all
ages to come.
The rising ground immediately_ in
the rear of the tomb has been selected
as the site of the President's monument
Three acres upon this beautiful spot
was selected by the Monument Asso•
elation on Saturday last, and hero it
has been decided to build the shaft.—
The beauty and the appropriateness of
this site are such as would recommend
it to the minds of all, and we arc
pleased to know so a g reeable selec
tion hasbeen mads.--springlield

STANTON AND SITERMAN.—The Troy
Times relates the fldlowing anecdote
of the Rev. J. D. Fulton, who deliver
ed tho 4th of Slily oration at that
place. It is given on the authority cif
an Albany editor, and has not before
been in print„ .
At the seconed day of the great re
view in Washington, when the stal
wart army of the West, who bred "mar
ched down to the sea" with Sherman,
were filing through the streets at
Washington, the climax of the scene
centered at the President's stand,
where all the military and civic digni
taries of the land were assembled to
witness the pageant. It is well known
that as Sherman approached the Se
cretary of War he refused the latter's
proffered. hand. At this moment MA%
Fulton *as standing a short distance
from the' spot, with a clear space be
tween him and the grand stand. In a
voice, which for- clearness, has fbw
equals, he thus spoke
"Edwin M. Stanton, savior of your
country, organizer of victory, rise up
and receive the greetings of your fel
low citizens."
Mr. Stanton turned pale, but aroso.
President Johnson shook him by the
hand. So did Grant. And then the
crowd, with a sound liko the rushing
of many, waters, gave cheer upon cheer
for the Secretary of War.
BRAXTON BRAGG SUBMITTING GRACE
FULLY.—The Now Orleans Picayune of
the 28th ult. says of Braxton Brav:
"This old and prominent citizen o b i-
Louisiana, whose fortunes have been
so varied during the late war, arrived
in oar city by the Mobile boat yester
day mourning, and is stopping at the
St. Charles. Gen. Bragg is in excel
lent health, and looks as if he could
'give 'em a little morn grape' yet, as
in the more halcyon and glorious
days of the Republic. Like all. the
Generals of the Confeqerate army he
recognizes the march of events, and
is only ambitions now to retire, as be
fore the war, and fulfil the duties of
an American citizen.
