THE NATIONAL CALAMITY — MEETING AT THE COURT HOUSE ON SUNDAY.—Pur suant to a call issued by the Mayor, a meeting was held in the Court House, on Sunday for the purpose of giving expression to the public sentiment of sorrow at the national bereavement, caused by the assas sination of the chief magistrate of the re public. Long before the hour of 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the time appointed in the call, the large hall of the court room was densely crowded, and multitudes were compelled to leave without being able to effect an entrance. A large number of ladies were present, and so great was the crowd that many of these were compelled to stand in the spacious aisles during the entire meeting. The meeting was organized by the ap pointment of the following officers: President: HON. GEORGE SANDERSON. Vice-PreBidenm : Prof. J. P. Wickersham; Dr. Samuel Parker, Benjamin Reinhold, Esq., David Hartman, Esq. Secretaries : Colonel Fred. S. Pyfer, B. K. Kready, Prof. Edwin Brooks. The meeting was openerby prayer frorn Rev. Bishop Bigler of the Moravian Church. His prayer was most beautiful and impres sive. • It breathed a true Christian spirit, be ing an earnest appeal to Heaven for a re storation of the clays of peace and harmony among our people. It was couched in eloquent words, and the whole audience seemed to be subdued by it into a feeling of solemity befitting the day and the occasion. On taking the Chair, the Mayor spoke in substance as follows: FELLOW CITIZENS—OnIy OHO. brief week has elapsed since we assembled in this place to congratulate each other upon the glorious triumph of our arms and the consequent near approach of peace. To-day we have been called upon to meet together in sad and solemn gloom. The Chief Magistrate of the Nation—an eminent citizen whom a majorit . Y., of the people delighted to honor— has been stricken down by the ruthless and bloody hand of a hellish assassin, and the whole nation—people of all sects, parties and conditions in the community—mourn the sad and terrible bereavement. A great man in position has fallen itt our political Israel, and it is proper and becoming that we should express our feelings of sorrow at the awful calamity. This is no time, my fellow-citizens, to in dulge in angry or excited feelings—no time 1 ., .)r acrimony, bitterness or contention among neighbors and friends. The blow has fallen upon all alike, high and low, rich and poor, men of all political parties. It is a great and unparalleled _National calamity, which should lead us, one and all, on this holy day—the anniversary of the Saviour's resurrection—to be calm and collected in our utterances, and to say or do nothing which would be in conflict with His heaven ly illjunelion of "peace tin earth and good will to men." I therefore, respectfully, but feelingly and earnestly, implore my fellow-citizens to re frain from street discussions with one an other and the indulgence of exciting and thoughtless expressions on one side or the other. These can do no good, and may be productive of infinite harm. It should be the earnest desire of all good citizens to al lay, rather than foster the fierce passions of Our nature, and lend all their influence to encourage union and harmony in our midst. our country, next to God, should lie near est our hearts, and we should all endeavor, to the utmost of our abilities, to consolidate and strengthen our attachment to the Union and flag of our fathers. The Supreme Ruler of the Universe may, for the accomplishment of wise purposes, have permitted the assas sin of A braham Lincoln to accomplish his diabolical purpose; but it would be pre sumptuous in us, feeble and erring mor tals as we are, to penetrate the thick veil which intervenes between the finite and Infinity. For, to use the language of one of our great poets: , Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan His work in vain— God is His own interpreter, And He will make it plain. The Nation has been astounded at the audacity of the murderous villain who per petrated the foul and bloody deed. Men's minds can scarcely be brought to realize the fact that the chosen Chief Magistrate of the country lies low in the embrace of death, and that, too, brought about by violence. R is the first time in the history of this great Republic that such a deed of atrocity has been perpetrated. May we not ill hope that the vile miscreant my be speedily arrested, and if he has accomplices that they, too, may be brought to light, and all be made to suffer the severest penalty of the law; so that others may be deterred in the future from attempting the commission of similar out rages upon the person of the Chief Magis trate or other high dignitaries of the Gov ernment. Abraham Lincoln is dead ; but, thanks to a merciful God, the Nation still lives, and will, I firmly believe, continue to exist through all coming time. The wicked as sassin has struck down the President of the Republic, and universal mourning prevails over all the land ; but the Government will not die, and the star-spangled banner of our fathers still floats in the breeze, and will ever continue to float over "The land of the free, and the home of the brave." At the conclusion of his remarks, of which the above is only abrief synopsis, the Mayor read the, following series of resolutions, - which were unanimously adopted : Resolved, That the sudden decease of President Lincoln, by violence,,is a great National calamity, especially in the present critical condition of affairs. And what ren ders it still more sad and afflicting in its character, is the fact that the terrible civil war of the past four years was rapidly draw ing to a close, and we all had abundant reason to flatter ourselves that the glorious rainbow of peace was about to span the po litirtl horizon,and that we were again •upon the eve of becoming a united and happy people. Resolved, That the murderous assassin of the Chief Magistrafe of the Republic, whether fired by the same unholy anibition that actuated the Grecian youth who ap plied the torch to the Ephesian dome— whfther governed by motives of revenge for real or fancied wrongs, or a secret wish to keep up the excitement between the dif ferent sections, and thus prevent a restora tion of the Cmon on a firm and permanent basis—For as the agent of the so-called Confederate Government, or the tool of such organization originated by the enemies of the country,) or from any other diabolical incentive, merits and will receive the exe cration of every good citizen, and his mune will be transmitted to posterity with an in famous notoriety. Resolved, That the wicked and bloody assault upon Secretary Seward and his son, which may possibly have a fatal termina tion, would seem. to indicate a deliberate design upon the part of the conspirator or conspirators to destroy the government and reduce the country to a state of anarchy, wretchedness and ruin. Resolved, That we deeply sympathise with Mrs.'Lineoln and the friends and relatives of gr. Seward in their sad bereavement. The Nation anmrns with them, and flay have the sineere colal , ,lence of the wn,.le American people, of all parties, sects and conditions. May a merciful Providence " temper the wind to the shorn lamb," and may our beloved country have His Al mighty protection in this the hour of its deepest affliction and gloom. paragraph in the second resolution enclosed in brackets was an amendment offered by Mr. J. R. Sypher.) After Mayor Sanderson had taken his seat a Call was made for Bishop Bigler, who made a short but very appropriate speech. He spoke eloquently and with much feeling of the general joy that had prevailed throughout the land in view of the prospect of a speedy peace, and contrasted it with the shock of sorrow which has stricken 'livery man in the country on hearing of the assassination of the Chief Magistrate of the nation. He alluded to the mysterious ways in which Providence often moves to effect the Divine will on earth; said it might be that His infinite wisdom had ordered it all for the best ; that perhaps Mr. Lincoln had accomplished his work ; he urged a de pendant trust on Clod who made us a ration, and who is abundantly able to heal all the wounds under which we are suffering, and calmness and moderation even in this hour of deep feeling and great excitement. We are sure all who heard his speech, must have been favorably impressed by it. The next speaker was Professor J. P. - Wickersham, of the Normal School. He . spoke in substance as follows: "The whole American nation is tins day in mourning; everywhere the hearts of the people are filled with unaffected grief. Yes terday morning, when the news began to spread from mouth to mouth, there was almost universal skepticism in regard to it. It was too horrible and appalling to be be lieved without complete confirmation. When it was confirmed by official an nouncement, people of all parties and of all classes seemed to be paralized. Business was suspended hs if by a common sense of the propriety of such a course ; flags that had floated in joy over the late glorious vic tories were placed at halkmast, and drapecl in the insignia of mourning. Our gladness was changed in a moment to sorrow, and the whole people mournedthe fall of their chosen Chief Magistrate. It is hard even now to realize the magnitude of the , misfortune which has.befallen us. lam rejoiced to see that men of ail parties, that the newspapers of ailparties; alike-unanimously express whgt believe is the covaagon 'and unfeigned sorrow of all. So it sholild be in an hour and on an occasion like the present. lam cheered and encouraged by this to hope that we may be more united in the future than we have been in the past. The day of gen eralgood feeling, Ihope,abouttoreplace that of bitterness and party strife. . _ Abraham Lincoln was no common man. Had he died quietly on his bed atthe White House, or in his home at Spfingfaeld, the nation would have mourned his departure with tears of most sincere grief. He was great not as a philosopher, not - in profound learning, not as a trained military chieftain —but, unquestionably great in great, good, common sense. There are few men who could so well have managed the affairs of this nation, in the troublous times through which we have been passing for more than four years, a 9 has Father Abraham. His rise from obscure birth to the exalted posi tion he occupied was truly remarkable. We see him,'first the poor farm boy, then the captain of a flat-boat on our Western waters, then the close, diligentstudent, then the successful lawyer, then the representa tive of his district in Congress, then the competitor of the giant Douglas for the po sition of Senator of Illinois, and then chosen by the people to the highest of fice in their gift—and again, after serving a term of four years re-elected. The man who could accomplish all this must have been of no ordinary character, one who had in him the elements of true greatness. No matter where or how such a man might have died he would have been mourned by the nation. The manner of his death, vio lent and bloody as it was, makes our sorrow deeper and more poignant than it would otherwise have been. The time of his de cease was a most unfortunate one for the country. After Sherman's grand marches, and Grant's unparalleled vic tories, the rebel capital was at length in our possession, and the armies of our enemies utterly routed. The surrender of Lee with his forces gave assurance that the gigantic struggle water ged: — All hoped that peace was about to come; a lasting peacea peace having solid foundations in a restoration of the era of fellowship and general good feeling. There was rejoicing throughout the length and breadth of the land. To mar all this came that most vil lainous arc;, the foulest arid moat bloody assassination known to history. It is hard that the i'resident of this great repub lic should he stricken down by such foul means, at such a time as this. But, I ant a firm believer in the superin tendence of a I nvine Providence. I discard and would denounce the doctrine taught in some schools. I think I can see good spring ing from the great calamity already. I see it in the general unfeigned expression of grief at what is our common calamity ; in the union of all good men in the expression of the national sorrow, and in the harmony w] ioh prevails. Let us all bury party ani mosities in the grave of our departed Chief Magistrate. The rebellion will be com- pletely put down. The assassination of no one man can prevent it. If Grant, and Sherman, and Sheridan, and he who is now President, and all the Cabinet should so be stricken down, others would spring from the ranks of the armies and of the people to Lake their plates. I believe in God, and in Ms good providence, and have an abid ing lath that all will yet be well with this nat ion. Professor NVickersham was listened to thrmighwit with great and marked attention by the entire assemblage. The next speaker was N. El'maker, Esq. Mr. Ellmaker said: It is hard to keep within 'proper bounds when we see Abraham Lincoln, cur second Washington, stricken down by a brutal as sassin, after he had returned unharmed from the streets of Richmond, the strong hold of the triiitors; to see him shot from behind as he sits, unsuspecting of harm, in his lox at a place of amusement. Can his death and the murderous assault upon Seward have been the result of chance? Were not both the result of some deep-laid, diabolical scheme? Do not both these acts show the evidences of premeditation and design? If the assassins be caught I hope they may be suffered to live long enough to tell who were their ministers. Had this mis fortune come four weeks ago who can tell what might not have been the result. It comes now:when the rebellion is crushed. Let us hold up the hands of Andrew John son, who is now the honored head of the nation; let its remember that he deserves our confidence and trust ; let us forbear to speak ill of those in authority; let us all show that we are loyal. J. Di,key, Esq., was next called out respunded in a brief speech. After Mr. Dickey had taken his seat, J. Sypher, Esq., took the stand. After al luding to the commencement of the war, and to the great sacrifices of men made in its prosecution, he concluded by suggesting the idea that Mr. Lincoln had been removed because he was too kind in his nature. He tried to develop an idea which seemed to possess him, that (41 meant that vengeance rather than mercy should be the object of our rulers ; and asked the audience whether they were prepared to help the new Presi dent in executing vengeance untempered with mercy. We are glad to say his san guinary doctrines seemed to be met with disgust rather than approval on the part of the audience. The next speaker was A. 11. Hood, Esq. llis speech was somewhat tinged with the imaginings of a bloody and vindictive na ture, and did not seem to meet, as we are sure it did not merit, the approbation of the people assembled. Mr. Hood was followed by an individual answering to the name of J. F. Crouch, and being dignitied by the tittle of Reverend. l le is pastor of the St. Paul's M. E. Church of this city. Cif course he was peculiarly brutal and bloody in his sentiments. That is the style of IllallV modern preachers. They are ready to pander at all times to the baser passions of those they address, for the purpose of gaining a temporary advantage or exciting a momentary admiration. They scent to forget every precept of the Bible, and to he moved and actuated only by the lower and baser passions which degrade human nature. They are a disgrace to their profession and a curse to the world. We attempt no report of the blaspheutous utterances of this ranting fellow. No man of sense who heard him could possibly have failed to be deeply disgusted. When he had concluded, the meeting, which had been rapidly dispersing while he talked, was formally adjourned. Previous to adjournment the meeting unanimously adopted the following resolu tion, offer,d by Mr. Sypher: Resolved, That on the day which may be appointed for the funeral of the late Presi dent Lincoln, our citizens are requested to close their places of business, and wear suitable badges of mourning in token of their respect. LANCASTER HORSE MARKET, MONDAY, APRIL, MIL ISG5.—The arrivals and sales of horses at the different stables during the past week have been rather slim, and the stables (with one exception), did not look quite so empty, as we have seen them on former occasions, and the business is there fore apparently a little dull.

All the places of business in the borough were closed at noon, and one hundred guns were fired by the Alexander Cadets, under direction of'Capt. J. E. Barr, of this city, between the 'hours of '4 and 7 o'clock. At an early hour of the evening the streets were astir with crowds of joyou_ people, and Locust street, on which the pro cession formed, presented a brilliant ap pearance. The City Cornet Band of this city added much to the enthusiasm of the occasion by its excellent music. At 7 o'clock the procession was formed in the following order: Chief Marghal. W. G. CASE, ESQ. Aids., Col. P. Gossler, sLieut. John L. Wright. Assistant Marshals. Capt. G. H. Erisman, S. S. Detweiler, Capt. J. E. Barr, Jacob Strickler. City Cornet Band. Alexander Cadets. Cannon, drawn by four horses. Borough Authorities. Martial Music. Delegation from Wrightsville. The Columbia Firemen. Citizens Generally. The procession proceeded over the fol lowing route: Down Locust street to,Front, up Front to Black's Hotel, countermarched to Walnut, up Walnut to Fourth, down Fourth to Lo cust, up Locust to Fifth, down Fifth to Cherry, down Cherry to Fourth, up Fourth to Locust, down Locust to Third, down Third to Cherry, up Cherry to Fourth, down Fourth to Union, up Union to Sixth, coun termarched to Second; down Second to Perry, down Perry to Front, up Front to Locust, up Locust to SeCOnd, along Second to Walnut, and countermarched to the Odd Fellows' Hall. The illumination along the route was very general, and the taste and design displayed by many of the citizens reflected the highest credit upon our Columbia neighbors. At different points on the route tire-works were set off and bon-fires kindled, which added much to the brilliancy of the scene. There was a great deal of enthusiasm man ifested, and the procession was greeted with lusty cheers from stentorian lungs, the waving 'of 'kerchiefs and small flags from the hands of the fair sex, and numerous displays of lire-works from the door-steps, windows and sidewalks. [At this point we think it in place to pay a compliment to the Colum bia ladies. We will put Columbia against any town of its size in the Union for the beauty and accomplishment of its fair sex; and this is the remark generally of stran gers. We „do not intend to get into a dis pute about the matter, however, preferring to leave the decision of it with our hand some friend of the Spy. Ile may " right it out on this line, if it takes all summer.") It is impossible to give in detail the many pretty scenes which met the eyes of those in the procession, and where all did so well t would be invidious to particularize Arriving in front of the Odd Fellows' Hall lie immense crowd congregated around the speakers' stand, and; after the performance of Hail Columbia by the Hand, Gen. Wm. Patton called the meeting to order, and Rev. Mr. Brown was introduced and opened the proceedings with prayer. Gem Patton then proposed the following gentlemen as officers, who were unani mously chosen: A President. COL. JAMES MYERS. Vice Presidents. Rudolph Williams, Robert Crane, George Bogie, Robert T. Ryon, Joseph W. Mifflin, Cornelius Tyson, John Q. Denny, Henry Dealer, Washington Righter, Conrad Swartz, J. G. Hess, George Dr. D. J. Bruner, Dr. C. D. Hottenstein, Joseph A. Black, Dr. Samuel Devlin, Dr. William S. McCorkle, Benjamin F. Steiger, Justice Gray, James Vaughan. Secretaries. A. M. Rambo, George Young, Jr., A. J. Kauffman, Michael L. Shuman, John K. liberline. Colonel Myers, on taking the chair, made a few exceedingly appropriate and patriotic remarks. His acknowledgments were tendered for the honor conferred, and he congratulated his fellow-citizens upon the glorious auspices undeii which they had convened. They had not met to say what terms of peace should be made or tendered, but simply to rejoice that peace was so near at hand, and to give all honor to our gal lant soldiers in the field. J. M. D. Loop, Esq., was the first speake. He spoke of the glorious occasion which had gathered the people of Columbia to gether, and said that the war had estab lished freedom, the right of free speech and a free press for all time to come. He com plimented the different Generals on the services they had rendered, and spoke of the achievements of Farragut and others. He also paid a glowing tribute to the sol diers and sailors of our army and navy. H. M. North, Esq., was then introduced; and spoke for a short time in an eloquent and thrilling strain. Ile opened with a humerous allusion as to the whereabouts of Jefferson Davis and Mr. Breckinridge, and then proceeded to speak of what matters had been settled by the war. In passing he paid a glorious tribute to Grant, Sher man and Sheridan, and said that the world's history had never produced men `who better understood the art and science of war. In conclusion, he spoke of the status of the Southern States, contending that they had never beVn out of the Union, and was happy to say that the President of he United States agreed with him in this pinion. Mr. N. spoke with great clearness and force, which is characteristic of all his speeches, and his remarks were listened to with the closest attention and respect. After the performance of the Star Span gled Banner by the Bend, Col. C. S. Kauff man was introduced, and made a few tell ing remarks, excusing himself from making a lengthy speech by reason of his having but just arrived home from Philadelphia. Short speeches were also made by Rev. Messrs. Cromlish and Major, of Columbia, and by Lieut. A. C. Reinoehl, of this city. The Band then performed a popular me I ley, after which the Doxology was sung, and the immense crowd quietly dispersed. Take it all in all it was the grandest dis play of the kind dyer witnessed in Colum bia, and the citizens cannot, award too much praise to the Committee of Arrangements for the admirable manner in which every thing passed off. The committee were W. G. Case, Esq., Mr. Wm. U. Hess, Col. P. Gossler, Capt. Geo. H. Erisman, Gen Wil liam Patton and Messrs. S. S. Detweiler, J. C. Bucher and 0. H. Pfahler. Our thanks are due to Col. P. Gossler, H. M. North, Esq., W. G. Case, Esq., A. M. Rambo, Esq., of the Spy, George Young, Jr., Esq., Joseph M. Watts, Esq., Mr. Wm. U. Hess and Lieut. John L. Wright for courtesies extended. MONUMENT TO GEN. JOHN F. REYNOLDS. —We made a visit this morning to the Lan caster Cemetery, for the purpose of viewing the beautiful and appropriate obelisk there ; erected on the grave of the gallant and lamented Reynolds ; who fell bravely battling in defense of his native State on the first day of the battle of Gettysburg. The shaft is set on a rusticated panelled base, on the sides of which are inscribed the names of the ten battles in which Gen. Reynolds participated in the Mexican and present wars. The entire monument is sixteen feet high. On the west side of the die are dis played the cross flag of the First Army Corps and the flag of the United States, and on the opposite side the crossed cannon of the Third United States Artillery; while on the north side is a spread eagle, with a shield suspended from its mouth,bearm g two stars, the emblem of his rank. On the shaft are chiselled, with fine artistic effect, the Gener al's accoutrements, sword, sash, belt, pistol, and guantlets, all entwined with laurel. The whole has been designed and executed by Messrs. J. Struthers et Son, of Philadel phia, from models furnished by Badly the sculptor. 3U,j. Charles M. Howell of this city super, , intended the erection of the monument. COURT OF . QITAB.Tta; EI:ER.4IOIIS, APRIL TERM.-=2 l Readay Morning.—Court met at 9 o'clock: - • - - ! Corn. vs. Martin Rush.—Charged with assault and battery on his wife. He plead guilty. The defendant has been confined in jail for nearlyten months on account of a more aggravated offense, and in conse quence of the length of his confinement, the Court modified his sentence and gave him ten days imprisonment, and to pay a fine of one dollar and costa. Com. vs. Wm.Strock, a youth ofl9 years. Three separate charges of larceny. The first was for horse stealing; the next for larceny of some smoked beef; and the last for a five dollar bill. He plead guilty to all, but said the horse was given to him by John R. Smith, and that he was not instru mental in the larceny thereof. He has been held in prison for sixteen months for the purpose of giving testimony against the parties concerned in the various thefts. The Court deemed it inadvisable under the cir cumstances to give him the extremity of the law, and, therefore, only sentenced him to six months imprisonment, and costs in A verdict of not guilty was taken in the case of two women charged with the theft of some corn from a farm near Columbia, as the District Attorney, on due examina tion, found that the charge could not be sustained, and the complainant wished it discontinued, Cora. vs. Henry Fletcher and Frederick Fletcher, charged with selling liquor on Sunday, July 31, 1864, to four river men, at Marietta, though the evidence was not clear as to the exact date. The jury re turned a verdict of not guilty, and defend ant to pay costs. In the case of the Corn. vs. Mrs. J. E. Beaman, for forgery, none of the witnesses appearing against her, fhe case was dis charged. Coni. vs. Wilhelmina Hoffman, Joseph Brockley and John Munson—Forcible en tree into a house; charged by Henry Mil ler with the offense. Pending this case the court adjourned 11 this afternoon. A Word to the Wise Now that the war is rapidly drawing to its close, and peace proinises to be restored to our country, we hope that with the change from bloodshed and the neces sary attendants upon war, to the blessings of peace and a re-united nation, that things may again return to their ordinary condi tion, and that some of the ultra ideas and fanatical opinions to which this contest has given birth, may expire with the war.— In this connection, a few words to some of the ministers of the Gospel may not be in appropriate. Since the beginning of the re bellion their professon seems to have re quired, in their opinion at least, a new posi tion, differing in many respects from that which it formerly occupied. In our hum ble opinion, though of course we may be mistaken, man being always Liable to error, the duty of the minister of God was to preach the Gospel, so emphatically called the "Gospel of Peace," to expound its doc trines, and to set before us "Jesus Christ, and Him crucified." We speak this with all duo rever ence to the holy subject. But our clergy men seem to differ with us in our views of the matter. Will one of their number be kind enough to tell us why we go to church? what we expect to hear there? Certainly, anything but political discussions. We are blind enough to see no connection between politics and the pulpit, except that they be gin with the same letter, and we are of opinion that they had best be kept apart. Let our clergymen keep their politics away froM their religion. We call them to the care of our churches to look after our spiritual welfare. Let them restrict them selves to that in the pulpit. As to the rest, "there is a time for all things." If we want political views, opinions on slavery, discussions of the actions Of our public men, we can hear them from our statesmen and lawyers, in our public meetings. Do not desecrate the pulpit and the house of God with them. If we want statements of the public debt, we find them in the financial columns of our newspapers ; we do not look in our Bibles for them. Nor can we see why "copperheads" should be abused from the pulpit. Have they no souls to be Our ideas on these subjects may be very erroneous. It may be a clergyman's place to preach politics; it may be that the church is the proper political arena; being no pope, we do not profess to be infallible. We only have our own ideas on the duties of the nan set apart to do God's work on earth— his reading of the Bible and ours may be different. Only we hope that hereafter we may hear in our churches "peace and good will towards men," and spiritual subjects preached, instead of the singular produc tions, called sermons, with which our pastors have favored us since the beginning of the war. Y. L. P. For the Intelligencer. The Proposed Meeting MEssus. Eorrous : Can you tell what object Messrs. Benjamin Champneys and James M. Hopkins have in calling a county meeting for Saturday next? It is osten sibly for the purpose of giving some public expression relative to the murder of Presi dent Lincoln, but in reality, I apprehend, it is intended to manufacture a little political capital for the Abolition party, and to iu- Iluence President Johnson to change the conciliatory policy inaugurated by his la mented predecessor. These men appear to be thirsting tier more blood, and would prefer to see a reign of terror take the place of the hurnahe teachings of Abraham Lin coin. At least this is the way their con duct strikes me and many of my neigh bors. Perhaps you can disabuse our minds on the subject. One thing is certain, that no Democ can mix in such an Abolition crowd as will be then and there assembled, without having his feelings outraged; and it is to be hoped that none will be present to fol low the lead or give sanction to the pro ceedings of these half-craized fanatics. A LOYAL CITIZEN. Breach of Marriage Contract---Heavy Damages. The Tipton (Ind.) Union gives the following report of a suit for a breach of marriage contract which came off at the late term of the Circuit Court in that county : The largest verdict, to wit, $9,000, ever found in this court, was lately ob tained by Elizabeth M. Galbreth, in her suit against George Y. Atkinson, for breach of marriage contract. The case created the utmost excitement. The ablest attorneys of the State were em ployed upon either side. The jury were addressed by Hendricks and Lewis, for the defendant ; Moss and Overman, for the plaintiff. Farmers quit their fields, merchants their stores, and mechanics their shops, to witness its progression. The plaintiff, by her testimony, which elicited the belief of all present, dis closed a crime on the part of the defend ant of as great magnitude as was ever conceived by lust and cunning, and perpetrated upon an innocent and help less girl. She was the daughter of a poor wid owed mother, taken at a tender age in to the family of Mr. Atkinson, a young man of wealth and position, who de signedly won her confidence by a father ly care and attention. In the course of a few years, Mr. Atkinson applied for and obtained a divorde from his wife. Then making love to Miss Galbreth, who had grown to be a woman of ex traordinary beauty and intelligence, ' loved for her engaging manners and affable disposition, he succeeded in win . ning her. Society is relentless in its condemnations. Our Saviour said upon a similar occasion, " Sister, go thy way and sin no more," but society crushes, withers the frail transgressor. Although the jury seemed to be very liberal with the plaintiff, she did not get her deserts. The possessions of Crcesus would not compensate a poor, erring, unsuspecting girl for the loss of her honor and her pride. Nor is the cell of a doomed felon punishment se vere enough for the vile libertine who would thus deceive and betray confiding innocence. • A mail native of Michigan is now de nominated a Michigander, while his female mate is called a Michigoose.

JNTERESTING 'LETTER FROM AJAX. , List of Killed and Wounded of the 79th Regiment - M. V. V., in the Battle oiliest , tonville, C. GOLDSBORO, N. C., Marsh 25, 1865. MESSRS. Earross: According to expec tation of all, and in corroboration of an nouncement in my last, on January 25th, knapsacks were packed, tents hauled down, shrill bugles sounded "forward," and with the greatest reluctance imaginable we took a final leave of "Forest City" and its fair savans, whose friendly intercourse, kind treatment and courtesy in general during our sojourn among them, made impressions upon our hard hearts which time alone can obliterate. We left Savannah with many pleasing reminiscences carefully tucked on the uppermost shelves of our secret moni tors. Go we had to; but where, oh, where? Not as yet into South Carolina, but to pur sues retrograde route along the Georgia side of the sublime Savamiah river for forty-five miles—as far up as '• Sister's Ferry "—where we bivouacked on its romantic banks for five successive days, awaiting abating of waters, (the river, from recent copious showers, being tremendously swollen), con struction of pontoon bridge, and concentra tion of troops, as this was the crossing point into that 'State, where "Just in the gate, and in the jaws of h—ll, Revengeful care and sullen sorrows dwell." True to the very letter, for scarcely had the pontoons bedecked its fuibulent bosom —or the first footprints of Yankee invaders, (intruders, perhaps), marked its polluted soil, before their infernal scheme of cowardice developed itself by an explosion of a torpedo wound. ing two of the 79th. It appears a detail meut of men was made in regiment to re pair roads on opposite shore for wagon transportation, when Daniel Yost, in en deavoring to dislodge some rubbish, finding himself physically insufficient, called upon Corporal O'Neal for assistance, who prompt ly stepped to his aid, anti in doing so placed his foot on the cap of a torpedo, which instantly exploded, mutilating his right leg in a horrible manner, causing amputation above the knee. Yost was prostrated from effects, and deprived of speech for a num ber of hours. •Fears are entertained as to internal injuries. Both were exemplary members of Co. K. They were conveyed to Savannah by steamboat, and from last ac counts are doing as well as circumstances would admit. Search was immediately in stituted and some eight or ten of the "b'hoys" discovered snugly imbedded in the road. They were cautiously, "taken p" with volleys of imprecations,vengeance and retaliation. The old proverb, "the day of retribution will come,” has virtually dawned upon us, and woe unto South Carolina, "For, lo! her fields and cities blaze." There is not a sympathetic tear in her be half in this vast army, not even a kind con soling word ; if you con verso with any, they point with fiery indignation to her ti.s the first State that declared and promulgated State Rights doctrine, the harlot that hatched thehydra-headed monster, (yclept "Secesh,") and sent the fledgling forth flapping his wings and crowing lustily,— the concubine who aroused the ire of the heroic and revered Jackson, and compelled that good oldman to swear "by the eternal" —the heavy-daring prostitute who fired the first gun into Fort Sumpter. She has, in deed, paid dearly for her refractory ar,d sel fish motives. Follow the breadth of our army—a clear track—through the very heart of the State, and you find destruction, devastation, deco_ lation, starvation and utter annihilation I may add, in its sweeping course. Truly, "Our banner flung unto the breeze, Abroad we have unfurled,— Ahd famine, war, and dark despair, Are seen upon Its folds. ' In comparison to the work of demolition effected in South Carolina, we passed through Georgia with gloves on. Any hour, of day or night, as far as the eye could sweep, a view of His Satanic Majesty's abode presented itself in full blast. The hissing flames, crackling timbers, squeal ing women, affrighted children, sill be tokened the region of despair. To thesuper stitious Hell was literally 'personified ; and sometimes, I confess, I almost fancied I could discern, through tire and smoke, old " Charon," that decrepid, long bearded fellow, standing on the shore of that un navigable lake—A ecrnus—ready to ferry over all applying, by paying him in ad vance his customary fare—half-penny. The torch was unsparingly applied to any and every thing of a combustible nature, notwithstanding soul-rending appeals to the contrary. I have seen the aged and bowed down mother, whose silvered locks and tottering frame—emblems of the grave —plainly foretold her "sands were nearly run," raise her shriveled hands heaven ward, and, with tears streaming down her furrowed cheeks, plead in strains of fran tic invocations for the preservation of the old homestead—the hallowed spot where - first she inhaled the breath of life—that rude log cabin where once untold pleasures peeped in every crevice, and little feet trip ped lightly and sportively in and around its pine-studded inclosure ; but before the accents had fairly dropped from her pallid lips, or the message of intercession reached the mercy throne, the dark,•rolling cloud of smoke, followed speedily by the " devour ing element," convinced her all was over, and she destitute of shelter, exposed to the "pitiless peltings of the storm." I have seen the blooming young neither of twenty press impassionately the first-born to her heaving bosom, and on bended knee imploringly ask protection—not for herself, but for the little cherub encircled in her quivering arms; but all to no avail. The brand was ready, and before she could elevate herself front a beggingpositionher peaceful domicil lay a smouldering heap, with noth ing to identify the sacred spot but charred and blackened chimneys. Such scenes are hourly occurrences, but I will not weary the patience of your readers by reciting. The most atrocious, though apparently least in magnitude of crime, was perpetrated by a gang of foragers, (unallthoritatively), upon an aged and helpless couple found in an eight-by-ten hulls, consoling each other as to their probable fate. The old man was minus a natural leg, substituted by a wood en one, manufactured in a rough manner, of no benefit to any person but the unfortu nate wearer, when those braves dashed gal lantly up, dismounted, entered without ceremony, rifled bureau drawers, smashed every article the room contained, and, to cap the climax, (these fiends incarnate) fell violently upon the old man in his helpless condition, cutting straps and cords, and finally, through indefatigable exertions, patriotic zeal and constitutional perseverance succeeded in accomplishing their hell-con cocted design—extricating the wooden pro peller and casting it far beyond his reach. 0, shame, where is thy blush. The tale of horror, gentle reader, is not yet finished, and I tremble almost to relate the closing transaction. Observing on one of the fingers of that shrivelled feminine hand a gold ring —the Chanced—they rushed upon her, and by brute force, heedless of her pitiful cries, appeals and remonstrances, tore the glitter ing bauble forcibly from her finger, and with defiant air and exultation, marched boldly off with their booty. Great heaven, how can such wretches escape? South Carolina is a perfect wreck—a mass of ruin brought upon herself by political hot spurs of her own production—which time alone can reinstate. The campaign, just ended for the time being, carefully figured, up, exceeds five hundred miles, through dismal swamps, any amount of corduroy, and every other con ceivable constructions and obstructions. Teams at some points,without exaggeration, where positively mired so deep that nothing but mule ears were visible and horrid im precations heard from faithful " whackers" in their endeavors to extricate themselves from the " vasty deep." The indomitable Sherman surmounted all, as usual, without serious loss, and now occupies towns speci fied at heading of letter. As in' our former raids, hogs, poultry, &c., suffered extensive ly, having to depend almost exclusively on the immediate neighborhood for subsistence. The entire route was followed by 'Wheeler's cavalry, annoying us ocassionally, though not seriously. Our advance, (Gen. KU patrick's cavalry,) was suprized on the morning of March 11th, by Gen. Hampton, of Potomac notoriety, and three hundred killed, wounded and captured, himself barely escaping in drawers and boots in hand, biking refuge in swamps, though the enemy were eventually repulsed. Indig nant at this foul attack, tlw'General inkire • , follo'Wed up hotly overtook, battled, routing them" horse, foot and dragoon," and burned seventy wagons. ; It must be borne in mind that the army moved, on this occasion, in three distinct bodies—triangular form—centre, right, and left wing, and frequently ten or fifteen miles apart, the Fourteenth corps, numbering about 15,000, on the extreme left. Nothing transpired to mar the exquisite pleasures of the tramp—mud up to knees—until the morning of the 19th of March, as we ap proached Goldsboro. On this memorable morn, just as old " Sol" was emerging from his hidden re cess, tinging the eastern horizon with his resplendent radiance, musket firing was heard in front, which increased steadily in to volleys. The skirmishers were at work. The First division of the Fourteenth corps, in which the invincible 79th are embraced, led the advance, followed by the Second. They did not proceed far before they were saluted by a shower of grape and canister, shell and minnies; right in front, beyond a large swamp, impregnable breastworks reared their sandy fronts, and " bull dogs" showed their brazen physiognomy every twenty rods. Bragg's, Beauregard's, Johnson's, and Hood's combined forces lodged cozily behind them, 0,000 strong. Look at the odds: two divisions of the un terrified "Acorn" corps, probably 10,000 men (the Third not coming up in time) actually held at bay for six hours this im mense body of rebs. Seven times did they mass and charge to break our slim line, and seven times were they handsomely repulsed with frightful loss, and driven helter-skelter into their works. Our brave boys stood like a " wall of fire," until a slight mistake occurred, by, transferring troops from right to left, which movement was discovered, and a heavy force of Rebs rushed immediately foryacuum, creating a slight panic, and a trifling fall back. [At this critical moment it was that the 79th received the heavy blow by a cross fire on them.] In the twinkling of an eye another line was formed and at it they went again, fiercer and more determined, for they felt mortified at the advantage taken. The Rebs, flushed with prospective victory; pushed exultingly forward to the left, in tending to ",gobble all." But, hark! what means that continuous rolling thunder and that sudden unexpected check. Why, reader, in their phrenzied zeal to "swallow" us, they rushed madly upon two masked batteries, who are belching forth a stream of lhmid fire of minnies, and thousands "bite the dust." And now like a clap of dis tant thunder, a yankee shout rings glori ously through the fractured pines and ivai.cef tossing smoke! What means all that? It is the shout of victory,—they fly like chaff before lie wind," to find succor and safety behind their breastworks. All is over for the present, and in the morning the dead are buried under truce flags. Rein forcement has arrived, and the din of preparation augurs well for a " free tight " to-morrow. Boys eager and ready. The sable curtain of night now covers " Yank " and "Reb," silence reigns supreme, save the weary tread of the faith ful sentinel. Not a signal gun is fired. Dark and heavy forebodings await the morning. Look eastward and you observe Aurora dashing forth in all her gay attire. 'Tis morn, and every man ready for the onslaught. The slim breakfast, (a solitary cracker and tin of coffee,) over, the column moves forward to storm the lurking foe; lint, 10, "the birds have flown," vamoosed, absquatulated. Disappointment was visi bly depicted on every countenance, for the "boys" wanted retaliation. •' Revenge was stamped upon their spear, And blood their battle cry." Sherman had sworn terribly during the day that he would oust them in the morn ing, and I presume they overheard him, which readily accounts for the hasty "ske daddle." Becoming too verbose, I bring my letter to aclose by appending a list of killed, wounded, captured and missing of the 79th Regiment: Nilled.—Surgt. Joshua Bennet, Co. B; Geo. Riley, Co.

The honored dead—peace to their ashes— were decently and respectfully interred on the gory field, and repose quietly and un disturbed. The wounded conveyed to Golds boro', where, under the eagle-eye super vision of Surgeon Major Gregg, (in charge of Hospital let Division,) the splendid four story brick Female Seminary was readily, after a thorough renovation, converted into a nursery, and evikry imaginable comfort cheerfully bestowed upon those unfortunate. It is freely admitted by all who have visited the different institutions, that the Ist is an exemplary one. And why not? In surgical skill and science the present medical staff—Drs. Dyer, Gregg, Young, Reeves and Phillips—cannot be excelled. For gentle treatment, persuasive means, rigidity in the performance of assigned duties, you can scour this vast army and not find their superiors. For gentlemanly deportment, urbanity and kind-hearted ness, their equals cannot be found. Add to this, by way of finish, the name of the accomplished, amiable and soci able Henry W. Coyle, (Steward,) whose untiring zeal, day and night, for the alleviation of suffering humanity. has so appropriately won for him the appellation of " Good Samaritan," and you have the running:heads of the best in stitution of this kind extant. Col. Hambright has arrived and is on duty. Two promotions worthy of note have taken place in the regiment of late, in the persons of Orderly Greiner and James H. Marshall (regimental commissary) to lieutenancies. The promotions were deservedly merited, the former being one of the best soldiers in the army human flesh and blood ever fell heir to. Col. Miles, as well as Capt. Nixdorf, are doing exceedingly well, and will soon be able for duty. AJAX.

WestaNevrow April lB.Late last night a man disguised as a laborer, and carrying a pick on his shoulder, approached the house occupied by the family of Surratt, in this city, and was about to enter, when he was arrested; and upon washing the dirt from his face he proved to be quite a differ ent looking person from what his appear ance indicated. He called himself Paine, and exhibited not a little embarrassment. He managed to ask in an agitated tone why he was arrested. The colored servant of Secretary Seward was sent for, when he immediately ex claimed, " That's the man. I know him by his general appearance and his mouth." The servant said there could be no mistake. Others in Secretary Seward's house at the time, who probably have a recollection of his appearance, will be afforded an oppor tunity to-day to recognize him. He is be lieved to be Surratt, who perpetrated the dreadful act at Secretary Seward's house on Friday. WASHLNGTON, April 18-11.30 A. M.—At 2 o'clock. this morning a man was arrested entering Surratt's house, who has been identified by Mr. Seward's servant as the assassin of the Secretary of State. It is now regarded as certain, that at least one of the right men has at last been caught. Highly Important About the Assassin BALTIMORE, April 18.—A gentleman, who was at Point Lookout yesterday morn ing, was informed by an officer of one of our gunboats that Booth and other con spirators, about thirty in number, were in St. Mary's county, heavily armed, and were endeavoring to make their way across the POIOURIC, which was strongly picketed, and no one was allowed to pass. He also stated that on Sunday evening a small squad of our cavalry had been repulsed, but succeeded in capturing one of them. In the meantime our cavalry were reinforced, and yesterday morning were understood to have them completely surrounded, and their escape was deemed impossible. President Johnson----The Body of the Late President Lying in State in the East Boom. WASHINGTON, April 18.—President John son, this morning, received a large delega tion of citizens of Illinois, and, afterwards, about fifty clergymen and others connected with the Christian Commission. He express ed his high appreciation of his confidence in him, and made to each party a speech in dicative of his public course in the future. The body of the late President is lying in state in the East Room of the Executive Mansion. Thousands of persons of both sexes are thronging thither, forming a long line of procession, and being admitted in the order in which they approach the Ex ecutive Mansion. The East Room is deco rated with the trappings of woe, in a man ner alike creditable to the artist who ar ranged the adornments, and worthy the solemn occasion. In the immediate centre of this capacious room is erected the cata falque, and the coffin is within immediate view of the line of spectators. Each stops a moment to take a view of the face of the deceased, and many shed tears. The hand of friendship and affection have contributed the choicest flowers to adorn the cotlin and the foundationlupon which it rests. Between 0± O'clock this morning and noon at least 3,000 persons had visited the Executive Mansion, and there are thousands more slowly following, in turn to indulge in a similar privilege. The doors will be kept open until five o'clock this afternoon. None are permitted to loiter about the mansion, and all are re quired to pass out of the building after hav ing viewed the ccrpse. Important Arrest in Baltimore. • BALTIMORE, April 18.—A highly import ant arrest has been made here. The name of the party is withheld at present, though known to your correspondent. He has made a full confession, being one of the conspirators against the life of the Presi dent, and acknowledges himself to be the author of the letter signed Sam, which was found in Booth's trunk. It is understood that the party alluded to as under arrest here, stated that the original design of the conspirators was merely to capture the . President some time back, and in this way compel a general release of all the rebel prisoners then held by the United States; that when the general exchange commenced, this project was abandoned by him and others as no longer necessary, and he says he refused to have anything further to do with it, and en deavored to induce the others to give up their designs upon the life of the President. This is substantially a current version of what the prisoner has so far divulged he is a well known resident of Baltimore. I = LOUISVILLE, April 17.—The guerrilla chief, Maj. Walker Taylor, Capt. Taylor and five of his men, who surrendered them selves to Dr. Owings, member of our Legis lature, under the late order of General Pal- mer, arrived here on the Henderson packet boat this morning. The guerrilla Captain Hawley, who was captured by General Steel, back of Clover Post Camp, also came on the same boat as a prisoner. From Pittsburg. PITTSBURG, April 17.—A man, supposed to be J. Wilkes Booth, was arrested by Provost Marshal Coulter, at Greensburg Pa., and held for identification. The Mayor of Pittsburg has sent on a person acquainted with Booth to identify the man arrested, but it is now reliably stated that he is not the assassin. Business Prostrated in Philadelphia PHILADELPHIA, April 18.—Business is prostrated in all departments,.and there is scarcely anything doing to fix quotations. One half of the counting houses are closed, and to-morrow there will be no meeting at the Corn Exchange or the other public in stitutioms. Surrender of Gen. Lyons ST.
