We do not wonder that ho accepted the, trust with trembling hands, for the stern task before him might well appal even his stout heart; but he did not shrink from it; and as he accepted it with an humble ex pression of his firm trust in God, we may look forward with confidence to the future, assured that he will take no step backwards, and dr( nothing that will imperil the high interests com mitted to him. We have faith in Andrew Johnson. He has been tried in the hour that most fiercely tried men's souls, and has not been found wanting.— When every Senator from the South turneditrai tor, he, only, proved true. He stood like Abdiel, " faithful among the faithless" in the session of the Senate of 1860-1, treason was epidemic among the Southern members. One after an other dropped away from the cause of the Union, until none were left but Andrew Johnson. But he was not content to stand firm, merely, in that trying hour, when Foote, Bell, and Nicholson, and nearly every other leading : Tennessean fell away, for we find that he hurleid indignant de nunciations at the traitors, invoked The curses of heaven upon their guilty heads, and threatened them with what they as richly deserve now as then, and what we hope he will give them, the halter. The firmness, the unfaltering moral courve, the sublime devotion to the cause of the country which he then manifested, have characterized his life since. He has been the staunch friend of the President since his Mast inauguration, Luis favored throughout the most vigorous prosecu tion of the war, has given his days and nights to the task of driving the rebels from Tennessee, was among the first to see that slavery must perish with the rebellion, and among the strong est in urging radical measures for its extinction. He has been a personal sufferer by the rebellion, and brings to his new position, not only a living faith in radical measures for the restoration of a lasting Pes,ce„ , : hot an..11.421....,t ath.swk.wAmiferersi, the never-flinching Union men of the South, and a secret conviction that the men who have brought on and have kept up this war, deserve and ought to receive the heav iest punishment that can be inflicted upon them. He believes not only in emancipation but in con fiscation, and, above all, in hanging. Those who have known Andrew Johnson longest, love him most. He has won for hiM self, from those who have been associated with him. the most ardent attachment. He will win in like manner upon the country. There need be no fears entertained for him. He is the man we need in this new emergency. The demands of justice will not be sacrificed by him to the sentimental claims of mercy that have been eet up in behalf of the greatest criminals this coun try ever saw. Let ns leave the cause of the na tion in his hands, in the confident assurance that he will execute his dnties faithfully and meet, without shrinking, the heavy responsibilities of his position. TILE ATLAS TIC TELEGRAPII. Captain James Anderson, of the Cunard mail steamer Chita, has been appointed to command the Great Eastern during the laying of the At lantic Telegraph cable. The Great Eastern will sail from Valencia, Ireland, about the Ist of July and may be expected at Heart's Content, Trinity Bay, by the middle of that month. • There were sixteen hundred and sixty-two nautical miles of cable completed on the 21st of March, and the whole twenty-three hundred miles will be made and on board the Great Eastern in May. The English Admiralty have agreed to order two powerful steamers of the Royal Navy to act company the Great Eastern from Ireland to Newfoundland, and also to direct Vice Admiral Sir James Hope'to afford such assistance on the approach of the expedition to Newfoundland as may be in his power. It is confidently expected that Europe and America will be in telegraphic communication before the 20th of July. PORT SORTER AItiISIVERS,9I.IIT. Thitimgh the daily papers we are informed that the programme at Charleston was punctu- ally and scoessfully carried out amid the most favorable auspices, and we hope soon to present a correct report of Mr. Beecher's oration. We shall not attempt to anticipate the shock which will overcome that joyous party when they hear the terrible tidings from the Capital, and learn that the slave•power, even as they celebrated its overthrow, was still sufficiently vigorous td in stigate the foulest murder of the century. They sailed for the South under one Administration ; they_ return under another. Will they hate any the less the evil genius of this transformation ? ..SIC SE3ZPER TYRANNIS." The amassin who flourished his dagger on the stage of Ford's theatre and theatrically quoted this motto, upon the shield of Virginia, imagin ed, or pretended to imagine, that in killing Mr. Lincoln he had put an end to tyranny. He was right, in one sense, but net as he dreamed. The blow which took Lincoln's life away has nerved the arm of the nation for a last but telling blow at the life of slavery, and the tyrants *ha have their heels upon the necks of liberty Will perish with It, as well as all the oppressions and icor ruptions that have P,TOlarlahMt of it.

Wilkes Booth amount in the aggregate to ,the largc•suin of one hundred and forty thousand dollars. and probably will be considerably, in creased.: Here is a large fortune in reservolor some one, and while indignation at the crime, and regard to the duty of every good citizen would incite any loyal man who knows of ' the whereabouts of the o -.von, to deliver him up, to justice, the reward will be a great temptttion to his accomplices, with most of whom it ispre sumed honor is not a very powerful sentiment. The War Department offers large rewards for some of the accomplices of the murderer, and the amounts at stake are sufficient to excite the activity of professional detectives to a display of energy far exceeding anything known in the an nals of crime. COURTING DESTRUCTION The rebels seem bound to bring destruction upon themselves as well as upon slavery. When they hatched the rebellion, ft is now evident that they pitched upon the surest plan, probably the only plan, for the abolition of slavery. And now, as if determined to unite all loyal men in favor of greater severity than had been contemplated against the .rebel leaders, they devise the atro cious plot for murdering the President and his Cabinet The acts of Booth and his co•conspir titers make a stern execution of the laws against treason necessary, not only to satisfy the public feeling, but also for the safety of the administra tors of the government In the future- And Pres ident Johnson has already expressed his deter mination that treason shall be punished. If those who know the now President best are not mistaken, there is a good deal of "Old Hickory" in his composition, and rebels and traitors will -soon begin to discover a resemblance between Andrew Johnson and Andrew Jackson I FOREIGN NEWS By the arrival of the Belgian at Portland, and of the Persia at New York, we have three days later frnm Europe.

Inauguration of President Johnson WAIMINGTON, April 16, 1865. Yesterday morning Attorney-General Speed waited upon the Hon. Andrew Johnson, Vim-President of the United States, and officially informed him of the sudden and unexpected decease of President Lin enle, and stated that an early hour might be ap pointed for the inauguration of his successor. The following is a copy of the communication referred to WASTIENCITTS CiTY, April 15, 1865. Stu: Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, was shot by an assassin last evening at Ford's -Theater, In this city, and died at the hour of 7:T3 o'clock A 11. About the same time at which the Prisident was shot, an sssiissin entered the sick chatober of the Hon. W.

Other members of the Secretary's faniily were dangerously wounded by the assassin while making his escape. By the death of President Lincoln the office of President has devolved under thg Constitution upon you. The emergency of the GoVernment demands that you should Immediately qualify according to the requirements of the Consti tution and enter upon the duties of President of the United States.

In accordance with a revolution passed at a meet ing of the citizens of Illinois, held •at the National Hotel, yesterday afternoon the citizens of that State assembled at Willard's Ho tel, preperatory.to paying their respects to his Excellency :Andrew Johnson,: President of thr3 United States.

Flynn, and a large concourse of citizens repaired to the rooms of Pred- ' dent Johnson In the Treasury building. Gov. Oglesby represented the delegation, and ad. dreessd the President as follows : Mr. President: I take much pleasure in presenting to you this delegation of eitizens of Illinois, repro- t almost evety sect Of the State. We are drawn enting together in this city ion by the mournful events of the past few days, to give some feeble expression to the feeling we, In common with the whole nation, realize as pressing as to the earth, by appropriate and respectful ceremonies. Wo thought it not In approptiate,before we shall separate,toseek an inter view with your Excellency, thstorldle the bleeding heart Is ponring out Its mournful anguish over the death of our beloved late Preeident, the Idol of our State and the pride of th e whole country, we may earnestly express to you, the living head of this Da tion, our deliberate, fell and abiding confidence In ' you as the <me who, In these dark days, must bear upon youself the mighty responsibility of maintain ing, defending, end directing Its affairs. In the midst of this sadness, through the °ppm ' sive gloom that surrounds us, we look to you and to a bright future for our country. The assassina tion of the President of the United States deeply depresses an sorel3 , aggravates the entire nation, but under our blessed Constitution it does not de• ley, nor for any great length of time retard its pro green; down not for an instant disorganize or threat en Its destruction. The record of your whole past life Is familiar to us. 411 the spender of your recent gigantic efforts to stay the band of treason and as sassination and restore the flag to the utmost bounds of the Republic, assures that noble State we repre sent, and wt believe the people of the United States, that we ma safely trust Its destinies In your hands, and to this dwe come In the name of the State of Illinois, and' weconfidently believe, fully, and faith fully cypiessing the wishes of our people, to pre sent and pledge to you the cordial, earnest and un remitting purpose of our State, to give to your Ad ministration the strong support we have heretofore given to the Administration of our late lamented President, the policy of which we have heretofore, do now, and shall continue to Indorse. THE PRESIDENT'S RELY. The President said : Gentlemen: I have listened with proforma emo tion to the kind words you have addeesed to me. The visit of this large delegation to s kto me through you words of encouragement I not an ticipated. In the midst of the saddening circum stances which surround us, and the immense re sponsibility thrown upon me, an expression of the confidence of Individuals, and still more of an in. Suer:Rai body like. that before me, representing a great Vommonwealtb, cheers and strengthens my heavily burthened mind. I am at a loss for words to respond. In an hour like this of deepest sorrow, were it possible to embody In words the feelings of my bosom I could not command my Ups to utter them. Perhaps the best reply I could make, and the one most readily appropriate to your kind assurance of confidence, would he to receive them in silence (Herniation.) The throbbing of my heart since the sad catastrophe which has appalled us cannot here dined to words, and op as! am with the new and great responsibility which has devolved upon me, saddened with grief, I can with difficulty re spond to you at all. But I cannot permit such ex prmlon of the confidence reposed In me by the people to pass without acknowledgment. To an In dividual like myself, who has never claimed much, but who has, it Is true, received from a generona people many marks of trust and honor for a long time, an occasion like this, and a manifestation of public feeling so well timed, are peculiarly accepta ble. Springing from the people myself, every pulsation of the popular heart finds an immediate answer in my own. By many men in public Ille such occasions are considered merely formal. To me they are real. Your words of countenance and encouragement sink deep in my heart, and were I even a coward I could not but gather from them strength to carry out my convictions of right. Thus feeling I shall enter upon the discharge' of my great duty firmly and steadfastly (applause),if not with the signal ability exhibited by my prde cessor which Is still fresh in our sorrowing minds. I Need repeat that no heart feels more sensibly than mine this great affliction t In what I say on this i t vanillilg evertl49We f amnotlible ine an a a event in the history of mankind. In the midst of the American people, where every citizen is taught to obey the laws and observe the rules of Christian conduct, our Chief Magistrate, beloved of all hearts, has been assassinated, and when we trace this crime to its cause, when we remember the source whence the assassin drew his inspiration, and then look at the result, we stand yet more astounded at this most barbarous, most diabolical assassination. Such a crime as the murder of a great and good man, hon ored and revered, the beloved and the hope of the people, springs not alone from a solitary individual of ever so desperate mickedeeek We can t race it s cause through successive steps without my enumer ating them here—back to the source which is the spring of all our woes. No one can say if the per petrator of the fiendish deed be arrested ha should not undergo the extreme penalty the law knows for crime. None will say that mercy should interpose. But is he alone guilty ? Here, gentlemen, you per haps expect me to present some indication of my future policy. One thing I will say, every em teaches Its lesson. _ . . TtfetiirTeSv74llve in are not without instructions. ThltAmerican people must be taught, if they do notialready feel, that treason Is a crime, and must be linulahed. (Applanae.) That the Government will nnt always bear with ita enemlea. That it is strong not only to protect, but to punish. (Applause.) When we turn to the criminal code, and examine the catalogue of crimes, we there dud arson laid down as a crime, with its appropriate penalty. We there find theft and robbery and murder given as crimes; and there too we and the last and high est'of crimes, TWEABON. (Applause.) With other and inferior offenses our people are fa miliar, bat in our peaceful history treason has been almost unknown. The people must understand that it is the blackest oterimes, and will be surely pun ished. (Applause.) I make the allusion, not to ex cite the already exasperated feelings of thepublic, bat to point out the principles of public justice, which should guide our actions at this particular juncture, and which accord with sound public mor als. Let It be engrave's' upon every heart that tree san is crime, and traitors shall seller the penalty. (Applause.) While we are appalled, overwhelmed at the fall of one man in our midst by the hand of a traitor, shall we allow men, I care not by what weapons. to attempt the life of the Blab with Impunity" while we strain our minds to comprehend tto enor mity of this assassination, shall we allow the nation to be assassinated! (Applause.) I speak In no spirit olluthindness, I leave the events of the future to be disposed of as they occur. Regarding myself as the humble Instrument of the American people, in this as in all things, justice and judgment shall be de termined by them. I do not harbor bitter or re vengeful feelings towards any. In general terms. I would say that public morals and public opinion should be established upon the sure and inflexible principles of justice. (Applause.) When the ques tion of exercising mercy comes before me it will be considered calmly and judiciously, remembering that I am the executive of the nation. I know that men like to have their names spoken of in connection with mercy, and how easy it is to yield to th is Impulse. Bat we must not forget that what may be mercy to the individual is cruelty to the (Itate. (Applause.) In the exercise of mercy there should be no doubt left that this high preroga. live 18 not used to relieve a taw at the expense of We many. Bo assured that lam not to consult MT own feeling alone, but to give an account to the whole people. (Applause.) In regard to my future course I will now make no peafession, no pledges. I have been connected some what actively with public affairs, and to the history of my past public sets, which is familiar to you, I refer for those principles which have governed me heretofore and shall guide tan hereafter. In general, I will say that I have long labored for the ameliora tion and the elevation of the great mass of mankind. My opinions as to the nature of popular Government have long been cherished, and constituted as I am, it is now too late in fife for me change to them. I. be lieve that Government was made for man, not man for Government (Applause.) This struggle of the people against the most gi gantic rebellion the world ever saw, has demonstated that the atp , ehment of the people to their GoVern ment is the strongest national defense human wis dom can devise. (Applause.) Bo long as each man feels that the interests of the Government are his interests, so lung as the public heart turns in the tight direction, and the people understand and ap preciate the theory of our Government, and love of lip=our Constitution will belranarnitted If the time ever comes when the people shall tall it, the Government will fall and we shall cease to be cried the nations of ties earth. • After having preserved nor form of tree Govern ment and shown Its power to maintain Its existence through the vicissitudes of nearly a century, it may be that it was necessary for us to pass thrnugh this last ordeal of intestine strife to prove that this Gov ernment will not perish from Internal W but will ever be able to defend Reel:against= to punish treason.

Mr. Robinson had by this time recovered, and lumping on the bed caught bold of the assassin's arm. While he was thus attempting to hold him the magnate struck Mr. Seward on the left side of the face and then on the right side. The assassin then raised up, and he and Robinson came to the floor together. They both got on their feet, Robin son still keeping hold of him. The assassin reach ed his left arm over Robinson's shoulder, and en deavored to force him to the floor. Finding he could not handle him In that position, he dropped his pistol, which bad been forced against his face, in the hand which was around Robinson's neck, caught hold of the letter's right arm, and struck behind him with his Knife. They still continued struggling towards the door, with the intention of Robinson's to throw him over the balustrade.

He immediately clutched the miscreant.— The latter then struck Robinson In the stomach. cocking him down, broke from Mal. Seward, and rushed down stairs. Daring the struggle Robinson received a wound near the upper part of the right shoulder blade, and a little lower down, and another on the left shoulder. While struggling with the assassin near the bed side, he caught hold of the right hand which held the dr, and did not release his hold until he was knockedagge down near the door. He returned to the room after the assassin had es caped, and found that the Secretary had got otf the bed.on to the floor, dragging with him the bedclothes and was lying In a pool of blood. Upon going to the Secretary he found no pulse in his wrist and stated that Miss Seward, who had re entered the room, asked If her father was dead.— He answered that he believed he was. But upon a second examination he ascertained that his heart was still beating. The Secretary then said : "I am not dead. Send for the pollee and the surgeon, and close up the house.' He then placed the Secretary on the bed, telling him be most not talk. Mr. Seward did not speak after this. Mr. Robinson remained with Mr. Seward until 11 o'clock, the next morning when he was removed to Douglas hospital. Every attention to being paid to this brave man by the attendants of this Institution, and his condition is favorable. How the Game was Bagged. Speck! Dispatch to the New York Tribune. WASHINGTON, Tuesday. April 18, 18f.5. Late last night R. C. Morgan of New York made a lucky strike in working up the assassination plot. Acting as one of the Special Commissioners of the War Department, under Mr. Orcutt, he visited the residence of Berndt on H-st., between Ninth and Tenth. The women were put under arrest and sent to 1 headquarters for examination. Then a search of the house was made. Papers and correspondence of the most Important character were found, but the most important event transpired while search was being made In the garret. A peculiar knock was heard at a lower outer door. The expert at once entered and opened the door, when a large man confronted him with a pick-ax in his hand. Morgan then closed the door upon him, and quickly locking it, put the key In his pocket. The stranger then discovering that something wan wrong, turned and remarked that he had made a mistake—was in the wrong house, &c. "NV ho did you wish to see?" was asked. "I came to see Mrs. Barrett," said he. " Well, you arc right, then—she lives here," was replied. He nevertheless insisted upon retiring, but a pis tol was pointed at him and he was ordered Into the room adjoining. His pick-ax was taken from him and he ordered to sit down. Hero a lengthy ques tioning and cross-questioning took place. He stated that he was a refugee from Virginia ; was a poor mason's son; had been brought up on a Al iteg l'Artrifirr=rerdiftieertsgParr, b ra then showed his oath of allegianee which he had in his pocket, and said he had worked on the horse railroad here. When asked where he lived, he boggled a little. When asked where he slept last night, he said, "down to the railroad." When asked where the night before that and Friday, he was still more em bwrrassed, and equivocated considerably. He said he came to this house to dig a drain for Mrs Barrett; that he was to work at It early In the morning, and thought he would come In before he went to bed, as she would not he up to the morning. It la proper to state that up to the question where he stayed no suspicion had been excited that he was other than a veritable laborer ; but the fact of hi• coming at so late an hour led to the suspicion that he might know something of the family connec tions. A glance at his hoots covered with mud disclosed them to be fine ones; his pants, also very muddy, were discovered to be of tine black cassimere. His coat was better than laborers generally wear, and nothing but his hat indicated a refugee. He was still farther questioned, and on saying that be had no money he was searched and twenty-five dollars in greenbacks and some Canadian coins found on his parson, a fine white linen pocket handkerchief with delicate pink border, a tooth and nall-brush, a cake of fine toilet soap and some poma tum, for all of which he tried to give a plausible ac count, though bothered,agood deal about his taste for the white handkerchief In his possession. Here his bat was examined, and found to have been made of a fine gray or mixed undershirt, of his own, which he had taken off to make a hatof, cut out in confederate soldier style, and not sewed up but pinned. This led to the conviction that he had lost his hat, and other circumstances fixed suspic ion that he was the aosesain of the Seward family. The Secretary's ne doorkeeper was sent for without the knowledge gro of what was wanted, came Into the room and was seated, the gas having been turned down previously. After he was sealed the gas was turned on brightly, and, without a word being spoken, the poor boy started as If he bad been shot and the pseudo laborer started and turned deadly pale. The recognition was instantaneous and mutual. On being asked why he seemed so affected, the no. scio immediately answered: " Why, dat's de ma.-- wnt cut Massa Seward," sod moving for a moment uneasily and with Ms eyes Intently fixed upon the prisoner, he continued: "I doesn't want to stay here, no bow." Major Seward and sister were tent to Identify him this morning and did so completely. Ills ldentlfi cation Is absolute and he Is now a prisoner on board s monitor. All the circumstances connected with the arrest and detection are of the most marvelous character. The detectives would not have been at the house but for the fidelity of a freedman, a poor colored woman, and the merest accident divested him of his well-assumed character of a poor laborer. Other evidence makes It probable that he is one of the St. Albans raiders. He gives his name as James Paine, and is known hero by several atlases. We hear the supposition is, that, finding himself unable to get outof the picket lines, he had returned to Barrett 's house.

To get him to write a note—e Simple response toads card would do—" I shall be happy to have an interview With Dir. Booth on—." This dropped on the scene of murder would be an evidence of collusion with Mr. Lincoln's destined successor—a shallow device—but one in the fashion of a hundred stage-plots.

The News in Richmond. Special Doi-patch to the Ph aaddphia inquirer. Waeninoron, April 19th 1865. The following despatches from Richmond, have been received at the Washington bureau of the Philadelphia inquirer: RICILMOND, Monday, April 17th, a. m. The news of the murder of Pre.identLincoln, reached here on Sunday morning, and was noised around, but was not credited, except by a few of our officers, who received the facts, and the Sweatt, who hoped ir was true. There was no outward manifestation of their joy, but many of them sail they were sorry for It. Judge Otild, the late Rebel Flag of Trace Commis sioner, called on General Lee, who had been inform ed of the tragedy on Sunday afternoon. LEE JLEORETS TILE LBSASEILILLTION L'c expressed his regret—said the South bad last a friend : that Mr. Lincoln had shown, In the past few daps , such a leniency that he was led to believe that the South could make terms easier with him than with Mr. Johnson, who was a Border State LEE GOLNO TO LEAVE EICIIMOND Lee said he shonid sell everything out in Rich mond, and go down the James to Hill Carber's place, near City Point, "and spend tho,remalnder of his days." lie manifested no desire to go South to make peace, or to go to Europe.

They wear their swords and pistols, and boast of their deeds of death, and their intentions in the fu ture. More rebel uniforms than blue coataare to be teen at the hotel table. They crowd you out, elbow you off from the sidewalks, rejoice over the sending sway of the negro troops from Richmond and the old Union men, who were true to our prlaonets In Libby, are dissatisfied with such treatment.

A letter from the Army of the Potomac, dated ADrill2tb says : Thu final arrangements for the surrender of Lee's Army were completed yesterday, and today they are at liberty to proceed to their homes. or else where as they choose. The tame granted were ve ry liberal A large number of officers, together with thou sands of the men of this army, express their dissat isfaction not only at the unparalleled liberality gran ted to the Army of Northern Virginia, but at the manner In which they were paroled and allowed to go their way without our men being permitted to enjoy the results of their long struggle In the paw sage through the lines of General Lee and his army. But it is claimed that this would have been humili ating to General Lee and his officers, and that it is not the wish or desire of our Government or com manders to act towards them in any way that would tend to Irritate their feelings or make their position MOM intolerable than it actually Is. The policy put , rued may have been for the best, and our soldiers will submit, as they always do, to what is judged • most wise. During Sunday night and Monday large numbers of the Rebels, as well as some of the officers, made their escape from the lines, and scattered through the woods, many, no doubt, intending to return home. Our camps last night were filled with them, begging something to eat, which of course was free ly given- These men, when asked if they had been paroled, Invariably replied : "No—but we are allowed to go where we please." The number of men that General Lee claimed to be able to give up, was ten thousand with muskets, with as many more men from the commissary, quartermaster, hospital, and other departments.— lint our officers who have been permitted to pass through their camps, assert that not more than seven or eight thousand will be found to have been surrendered. The cavalry operating with General Lee was also .turned over But only a very smstl force with old, broken down horses,- could be found, report stating that the best had been picked out and sent to Gen. Jehnston. There were thirty guns given up, with from SOO , to 400 wagons. Very little ammunition, and no supplies were found. As an evidence of the state of their commissary when they reached Parmville, the residents tell us they had been issuing ears of corn to the men for several days previous, but that a train from Lynch burg met them there with flour and pork ; but of some 2,000 horses turned over to us, not more than WO were found to be worth a single ration of forage for each. Capture of Raleigh, N. C NEWBEIIN, W. C., April 15, 1865. The Superintendent of the railroad has arrived here from Goldaboro', and states that Governor Vance was captured by our cavalry between Hills born and Raleigh, on the 15th inst The report states that he (Vance) had been sent to Sherman by Johnston, who was at Hillsboro', with instructions to surrender the Stateof North Carolina to Sherman, but these Instructions were afterwards counter manded, and Vance wasretuming to Johnston with out having seen Sherman, when ho was captured. Ho is now a prisoner of war, not having carried out his mission. The report also states that Jett Davis and family bad Joined Johnston at Hillsboro', which is about thirty miles west of Raleigh. Wheth er Davis arrived at Hillsboro' after Vance had been sent to Sherman, and caused Johnston's instructions to Vance to be set aside, does not appear. P. 8.

C., was captured last Thursday, with very little fighting, and that confined principally to the cavalry and skirmishing between the advanced pickets of both armies. The supplies of Genera Bherman's army are all onrentrated near Roanoke Island, and the vessels lying at anchor are awaiting the orders of his Chief Commissary. Capture of Salisburv, N. C Lamm, CALDRECLL Cnuarrr, N. C, RPM 16, 1865. The expedition under Major-f4enend Stoneman, which left Knoxville, Tennessee, on the 10th nit, struck the East Tr nnessee Railroad on the 14th tilt., at Wytheville, Cbristlatibiarg and Salem. Between these points t hirty-three brie Fes were burned, and twenty-five miles of track totally destroyed, and be sides many prisoners were taken, and considerable quantities of corn and other stores were destroyed. On the oth inst General Stoneman moved, via Jacksonville, Danbury and Marksville, arriving at Grant's Creek, live miles from Salisbury, N. C., the rebel line for the defense of the town, at 6 A. IL on the 12th Inst. This line, defended by artillery and infantry, was now forced, and our forces entered llallarotry at 10 a. ar., capturing 8 stands of coleys. 19 guns, 1,104 prisoners, 1,000 stands of arms and accoutrements, 1,000,000 rounds ot small ammunition and 10W rounds of fixed aumarmitlon and shella, 0 0000, pounds of powder, 75,000completo suits of cloth i ng, WO,OOO army blankets, and 20,000 pounds of bacon, 100,00/ pounds of salt, 3:1,000 pounds of sugar, 27,- 000 pounds of rice, 10,000 $ undo of saltpetre, 50,- 000 bushels of wheat, 8100 $ $ worth of medical sup. piles 7,000 bales of cotton. Thirteen pieces of artillery were brought away, and all other stores net needed for our Immediate command were destroyed. The greater part of these sapplles bad just been received tram Raleigh.

We should like to ask the friends of Judge Smith, two questions. If Bnoth should escape to Canada, be arrested and brought before Judge Smith, and it should be found that the assassination of Mr. Lin coln was authorized by a confederate °Meer, would the Judge refuse his extradition on the ground of the belligerent character of the act ? Would he de. dare that the Ashburton treaty was abrogated, and refuse to surrender the assassin? We pause for a reply. To our mind' there would be as much reason for refusing to give up Booth as the St. Aides raid ers, supposing th at Booth could prove that he had authority from some officer of the Confederate States to commit the deed, which he probably had. —Toronto Globe.
