Atzerott had *nothing to say at any of the
former meetings. He knew nothing about the

MM. &latter, Mrs, Barrett, John Barrett and
Major Barron. formerly of the rebel army, left

the ethers went to the Potomac, and Major Bar
ran returned. He did not think Barron had any
, 'thing to do with the conspiracy.,
One of Booth's plans to obtain an en
trance to the Secretary of atate'a
bongo was an Invention • which, If sac
useful. would havalcrcoire4 cum* la his foul
acts. He had made the ammalutanee of women

told Atzerott about two weeks before the murder
that be bad sent provisions and liquor to Dr.
dnad'e for the supply of the party on their way
4o Richmond with the President.
O'Laughlin homed° no regular confession
.as far as it le publicly known, but ho has one
feseed to the original conspiracy. Be denied
any knowledge of the murder of the President,
or the attempt. on Seward's life. There is no
doubt he know much of the whole affair.
There is so doubt but that O'Laughlin did visit

ten !pedal eaya: The slaters of Humid viarted
the Arsenal this afternoon, and obtained the
elpthmg and other effects of their brother.
. .
The galrows remains precisely as it was after
the execution, with thaexceptlon that the ropes
and nooses hai'e been removed, and one of the
props that, upheld the drop upon which Mrs.
Burma and Payne stood, has been seized by
curious hunters and cat :up for relics.
Gr . tat numbers have visited the Arsenal, hop.
lie to obtain some souvenir of the execution of
yesterday, but very Gov were procured.
Captain Roth, of General Hartrauff's staff, to
whom was charged the dpty of constructing the
gallows, arranging and carrying oat awarders of
routine, says Three days ago Perna pitched a
game of quoits with Spangler a few feet In front
of where the scaffold stands. Some officer also
remarked that at the moment of giving the sig
nal for springing the drop, Atzerott, who had an
Idea that he was to be swung off the end of the
platform Instead of falling with the trap on
which he stood, was in the act of stepping. back
ward from the verge of the scaffold whetthe
No order has yet ben received at the arsenal
for the removal of Arnold, O'Laughlin, Mudd
and Spangler, to the Penitentiary to which their
sentence consigns them. They were not cog
nizant until today of the decease of their asso
ciates In crier e. When brought out this morn
ing In the yard, whew the execution was per
formed, Dr. Mudd, on catching eight of the
scaffold, lmmedistely remarked that he had
heard the sound of hammering on the previous
morning, and felt apprehensive that the noise
was ceased in the conatriretlon of the gallows.
Spangler, who Is a carpenter, looked at the gat- I
lowa and declared that its builders had made a
good Jon, but that be did not want to try it. The
prisoners are allowed an hour In the forenoon
and afternoon for exercise In the prison yard,
and since the adjournment of the court they
have been in excellent health, and la tolerably
good spirit..
The Worturs account of the executions says:
It was with a shudder that I saw the officer
gather the rope tightly, three times, around the
robes of Mrs.: Barrett, and bound her ankles
with cords. She half fainted and sank back.
Her limbs yielding, but uttering no cry.
Payne, with rem firmly laid together, stood as
straight ea one of the scaffold beams, and braced
• himself up so stoutly that this prevented the
breaking of his neck. Harrold etc -d well be
neath the drop, still whimpering. Atzerott
stood In a straight attitude. The rest said noth
ing, except Mrs. Suring., who' asked to be sup.
ported that she might not fall. Harrold pro
tested against the knot with-which he was to be
dislocated, It bring very huge as a double fist.
All the mechanical preparations were clumsy,
and the artistic and final acenesof the execution
were revolting. When the death cape were
all drawn over the faces of the prisoners' they
stood in line In swilll suspense between nosolute
life and Immediate death. At the neck of each,
the adjusting cord knot beneath the earn pro
truded Ilya or six inches, and the cord was so
thick that it could not be made to press tightly
against the flesh. The officer on the platform,
before motioning back his assistants, and then
signalled the executioners. The great beams
were darted against the props simultaneously,
and the four bodies dropped. The spectators
took a little rush forward, Mrs. Barratt's Deck
was broken immediately. She scarcely drew
one breath. Her close dgure, with skirts looped
closely, merely dangled with the vibration of her
swift descent, and with the knot hooting true un
der her ears, her head sideways, and her pin
ioned arms seemed content with their confine
ment. Payne died a horrible death; the knot
slipped up back of his neck and bent his neck
forward on ids breast so that he strangled as he
drew his deep cheat almost to his chin, and his
knees contracted till they almost seemed tee
touch his' bdomen, The veins ts his great wrist!'
were like whin cords, tol,arideir to twice their
natural dimensions, and Ms huge neck grew at
most black with nark blood that rushed to his
head, end for a long while he swayed mai twist
ed one struggled till nature ceased her rebellion.
Harrold, on he passed through the atrugul is, It
was doubtful if his neck was broken. Atzerott
died easy. . .

TIE AMNESTY PROCLAXATION
Richmond Merchants' Deputation
lATESTIRIV WITH PRESIDENT JOHNSON
The $20,000 Clause Considered,
THE PRESIDENFS YIEW OF THE MATTER
Wianmovort, July 9.—The President was
waited on yesterday by Messrs. James A. Jones,
H. A. Lancaster, W, H. Hamill and J. L. Appol
son, representatives of merchants and others of
Virginia, who wished him to amend the amnesty
proclamation by Meting out the $ l lO,OOO clause.
They represented that this feature Interfered
with the development of Industry by binding up
capital, and In this way oppressed them That
where they endeavored to borrow money In the
Middle or Northern States they were at once
met by the objection that, perhaps, they had
over IIYO,OOO, and If they had, the &mammoths.
tion could not be extended; so they were unable
to give wort to the poor men who called upon
them, &e.
The President reminded them that the am
aesty proclamation did not canoe this distrust.
It was the eommiasion of treason end the viola
tion of law that did It. The amnesty proclama
tion left them men I est where they were before.
It did not add any disability to them. If they
had committed treason th ey were amenable to
the confiscation law which Congress had passed
and which he an President could not alter nor
amend in the amnesty proclamation. He had
offered pardon to tome persona, but that did not
*pint any other persona.
Would they like to have the Amnesty Procla
mation removed altogether? Would they feel
any muter in that case?
One of the Deputation--No,• hat It would
us very much If pin would extend the baci
llus of the proclamation to persona worth 0 0 ,-
000.
Tharrealdent replied that in making that en.
motion he had acted oa the natural atippoeition
that mar had aided .the rebellion according to
the extent of their pecuniary means. Did they
aot know that.?
dee of the Deputation
IL"
"No, I did not Imow
Tie President—" Why yes you do; you know
perfectly well it wrs the wealthy men of the
South who dcstoyed the people tato secession. I
lived In thnSeuth, and I knoW how the thing
was done. Your State was overwheithingly op
posed to eeceseion, but your rich men used the
press and bulks and your little army to force
the State Into secession. Take the 620,000
clause—suppose a man is worth more than that
now, the war Is over, and the chances are tea to
one ;hat he made tt out of the rebellion by con
pilots, &a.
We might as well talk palely about this mat
ter. I don't think you are se very anxious shoat
relieving the poor.—You are very eager to help
the poor f Why don't you take the eurplue over
mow you own nod give It to them? In that
wav you will help them, and bring yoarselvea
a Ohm the benefit of the proclamation. I Rea
free to say to you that I think some of you ought
be he taxed on all over $52,000 to help the poor.
When I was military Governor of Tennease, I
assessed each a tax, and on all who had been
wealthy low:lain of the rebellion, and It had a
good enact.
Oueof the DeptitMion—..lt so happens that
rice of us were loaders. ' we staid out as long as
me meld, and were the last to go In."
The President-- - Frequently there who went In
lest were among the worst after they got In,—
bat be that as it may, understand me, gentlemen,
I do not say this personally, I am Just speaking
of the general working of the matter. I know
that there bas been an effort among some to per
suade the people that the Amnesty Pfociams-
Lion was Injuring them by shutting np the capi
tal and keeping work from the poor. It does no
mach thing. If that is done at all, It is done In
consequence of the violation of law, and the
elm:mission of tremor."
The Pnesident cdaclnded by saying that be
would look at the papers they prmented, but art
far as he had seen thernwm no reason for ro.
moving the 13th exception.

THE HAMPTON ROAD• CONFERENCE
NEW FACTS BROUGHT TO LIGHT
The Commissioners Opposeretg ••Enflaming
the Public Mad:,
Raw Tong. July 9.—The Herald's correspond
ence from Richmond gives some new facts con
cerning the Hampton Roads - Conference. It
says One of the rebel commissioners states
that on their return from Richmond they refrained
from any general discussion of the Interview.
Judge Campbell affirms that he wee satisfied
with the inteeview and felt willing to make peace
on the basis of the late Piesident'e ultimatum.
Several days after their arrival In Richmond,
Mr. Minter became convinced of the hopeless
ness of looking or fighting for anything natter,
and yielded his adherence to Judge Campbell's
opinion. Stevens thought longer delay might
be more favorable to the South, but on the eve
of bin departure, which took place on the day
before the public meeting at the African chard:,
to assented substantially to the conclusions of
Judge Campbell and Hunter.
On eke point the Commissioners were fully
cgrecd from the outset. They were opposed to
any efforts to enflame the public mind to any
!treater extent against the General Government.
To this old they welted upon Davis, Benjamin
end other members of the rebel Government,
cud sought to prevent the meeting at the KIK
,on church. They used every argument and
ntreaty in rain, and themselves positively
refused to be present or countenance ft in any
way. The statement that Stephens had gone to
Georgia to canvass his State In favor of pro
longing the war was voluntary end unauthor
lot d, He was applied to by Influential men to
do no, but positively refused, giving it AA his
purpose to go home and remain In quietness un
til the end should come. On his arrival in Geor
gia be was further importuned to take the
slump, but so persistently declined that many of
his test southern Mends deserted him.

FROM FORTRESS MONROE.
Melee at a Colored Excursion Party
TWO PE RSONS SERIOUSLY WOUNDED
?It, Yens, :lily B.—The Ecruters Fortress
Monroe corresrundent gives the following ac
count of a melee at Smithfield on the 4th: The
eacurcion party to Smithfield comprised about
fifty negroes, belonging to the ‘inartermaster's
Department here. They went on the steamer
Newton. On anteing, some opposition was
made to the steamboat landing, by the residenta
of the place and others, and when the Captain
of the Newton, Captain Lester, insisted on I and.
lrg, the payment of wharfage was claimed.
This dinnand Captain Lester refined to pay, re
ferring the claimant for Indemnity to the govern
ment, for which the boat was chartered.
Meantime a detachment of the 31 New York
cavalry, Major Ebbs commanding, rode down
from Suffolk to preserve order, In anticipation
that the day world not end without disturbance.
Rouen Earle, a butcher of Norfolk, and the al
leged leader of the citizens crowd, drew a revol
ver on Captain Lester, and was about to shoot
him when Major Ebbs Interfered with this mur
derous Intent by hitting him eater the head with
his sabre, laying Earle's scalp open.
In the course of a subsequent melee private
John Gray, of company C, 3d New York cavalry,
through mistaken disobedience of orders, was
shot through the longs by ono of the sergeants
and mortally wounded. Major Ebbs behaved
very handsomely, and but for his presence and

went out. Gen Milts, on the tame being report

The Pittsburgh Female College
The tenth simnel catalogue of this Institution
bas been setied, .and from it we learn that the
number of poplin in attendance during the past
year wee few heseafred sod eiseteen. Rapid as
the growth of this school has been, it shows no
sign of cilminuttou, and ender It. present able
and efficient management it bids fair to become
one of the most Important schools of learning
In the country. Indeed it Is now, In many of Its
features, second to no female college In the
United States, and has advantages not enjoyed
by many colleges of mete longer standing, The
buildings are admirably located, and are of the
most commodious character, having a front of
one Candied and forty-eight feet on Hancock
street, and a depth of one hundred feet. The ar
chitecture of the building is very fine. The Inte
rior Is arranged with special view to the health,
comfort god convenience of the papils, and Is
provided with all the modern conveniences la
the way of gee, water and ventilation. The
Faculty embraces twenty-two Professors and
teachers, with Rev, Dr. Pershing as President,
and the course of study Is extensive and well
selected, with a view to thorough =hare and
true mental disciplines. One great advantage
Poseessed by this institution, and one which 's
too frequently overlooked, la that the large and
rapidly increasing patronage enables those who
have control to make a epeefaltyOf almost_ every
department. In this way the talent eau be
employed, and the pupil receive every possible
advantage reettltinzi therefrom; and while the
solid brances are thoroughly taught, the ornamen
tal brumes are not overlooked, the Instittttlott
offering superior advantages to those pupils de
string a thorough knowledge to drawing, palat
ine, wax work, vocal and instrumental music,
The artist who has charge of the Drawing
and Painting Department, has been connected
with the college for seven years past, and by
talent and energy hes brought the department to
its present degree of excellence. In the Musical
Departmert the advantages offered are greatly
superior to moat of tier professedly musical
schools in the country. It la tinder the charge
of Prof. Rohbock, who fa most ably asalated by
tour accomplished teachers. Daring the past
year upwards of two hundred pupils received In
struction In this department. Those who wish
it, ran devote their entire time to music, and
can receive daily lessons.
The management of the Boarding Depart
ment Is a moat important feature, being made
the special busbies of the Presideatand his ex
cellent lady, who exercise the same care and
solicitude for the welfare of the young ladles
older their charge as though they were mem
bers of their ern fatally. Hence It becomes
necessary, In admitting pupils, to logolre owe'
fully into their social mending, and reject those
who would not be fit associates in the school
room. This duty, although unpleasant, has to
be performed by the • President, and several ap
plicemta were refused admittance last year. In
a word, everything that would teed, in the
Slightest degree, to the injury of the institution,
has been carefully guarded agalust, while on the
other head all those things which tend to else
vats Hire 'crapulously sought after and em
ployed
In all the ementlals of a first-class institution,
„buildings, faculty, course of study, etc., the
Pittaburgh Female College Justly holds a front
rank emong the educational Institutions In the
country, and la in every way worthy of the pat
.age bestowed upon It by our own leading clt-
Larne, as well as three of other Status. Full In

came hither and "brought him to justice." The'
cue having been pretty clearly made oat, a cam
mitmeut was placed In the hands of officer Feu
deficit, who started to the city with Heiler in
custosty. When they reached the river, the
officer employed two boys to row them over in
a skiff. When a short distance from shore,
Heller took the oars from the boys and began
rowing. The officer felt slightly suspicions, and
tearing that Heller meditated an escape, ordered
him to take another seat. Heiler objected, and
finally, throwing down the ears, seizing the officer
by the coat collie, commenced a waffle. Da
ring this both fell overboard Into the water, bat
the othetr, being an expert swimmer, wen re
gained the skiff. Heiler being somewhat under
.the Influence of liquor, could not reach the boat,
and had already sank twice when the officer
seised him by the hair, but being unable to lift
him out of the water, directed the boys to row
to the shore as rapidly as pontiff's, ateanwhlLa
retaining a firm hold of Heller, and in this. man.
ner the shore was reached. Keller was fatted
to he almont tincomicious, with life almost ex •
beet. Medical mid was immediately communed,
but nearly two hours elapsed before any signs of
resuscitation were manifest. The returner was
allowed to remain In Sharpebnrg over ought, but
on the following morning was brought to this
city and lodged In jail.

EMIGRATION TO THE sour&
The people of North Carolina are wisely told-
Ina out every Inducement to enterprising people
to come and settle among them, bringing with
them capital, skill, energy and intelligence, so
as to deveiope the vast resources of that State
and restore to it the prosperity which it kit by
the war, or, to speak more correctly, to gritelt a
prosperity which it never knew, or couldinow,
while under the dominion of slavery. &Aim
the people of Booth Carolina are Inviting north
ern people to come and settle among them; and
help them to repair t h e de/militia:us of slavery
and war; but Virginia, with that blind ptelu
dice and ineradliable pride which have. ever
characterized the ruling class of-that fallen 'and
ruined commonwealth, is bitterly oppomng the
In coming of Yankee insurgenta. The history of
that poor old State, fora few yearn to come, will
be curious. The elements of the war which is
to decide her fate are within herself, and-will do
their work without any interference from abroad,'
other than what will arise from examplaand
moral pressure.
