FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1865.
OBSEQUIES OF THE LATE PRESIDENT.
HIS BODY LYING IN’ STATE IN THE
HAST BOOH.
We shall, believing that public love and deep af
fection for the late Abraham Lincoln will long be
unsatisfied with the detatls any single journalist
may gather about bis'death, and big appearance
after that pure and honest spirit had been called
away from üb, place before our readers an extract
from the correspondence of the World, which Is very
certainly, taken as a whole, the best addressed to
any journal among the New YOrk press:
AFFXABASOB OP TUB OOBPBH. , ,
Death has fastened upon his frozen face all Hie
character and idiosyncrasy of life. He has not
changed one line of his -grave,: grotesque.counte
nance, nor smoothed ont a single feature. : The hue
is rather bloodless and leaden; bathe was,always
sallow. The dark eyebrows seem abruptly arched:
the beard, which will grow no morf,-lir shaVed
close, save the tuf t at the short, smal 1 chin. .The month
Is shat, like that of one who had pat the foot down
firm, and so are the eyes, which look as calm at
slumber. The oollar. is short and awkward, turned
over the stiff elastic cravat, and whatever energy, or
humor, or tender gravity marked the living, face is
hardened Into its pulseless outline. No corpse lathe
world is better prepared according to appearances.
The white satin around It refloats sufficientlight upon
the face to show us that death Is really there.; but
there are sweet roses and early magnolias, and the
balmiest of 1113 eo strewn around, ah if the flowers had,
begun to bloom even upon his eoffin. We look on un
interruptedly, for there Is no prestpra, andhenoefor
ward the place will be thronged with gazers who
will take from the sight itß suggestlvetun and re
spect. Three years ago, when little WllUe Lincoln'
died, Drs. Brown and Alexander, the embaliners or
Injectors, prepared his body so handsomely that the
President had it twice disinterred tolookupnn tt. The
same men, In the same way, have made perpetual
these beloved lineaments. There is now no blood In
the body; It was drained by the jugular veto and
sacredly preserved, and through a catting on the
Inside of. the thlglT'thh empty blood-vessels were
ohargedwlth a chemical preparation' which soon
hardened to the consistency of stone. The long and
bony body Is now hard and stiff, so that beyond Its
present position It oannot be moved afly more than
the armsor legs of astatue. Ithss undergone many
clean gee. The scalp has been removed, the brain
scooped ont, the chest opened, and veins emptied..;
All this we see of Abraham Lincoln, so onnnlngly
.contemplated to this specdld- ootfin, is a mere shell,
an effigy-a sculpture. He lies In sleep; but It Is the
sleep of marble. All that made this flesh vital,
sentient, and affectionate is gone forever.
TBB WATOHBBp. . , ,
The officers present are Generals Hunter and
Dyer and two staff captains. Hunter, Compact and
dark and retloent, walks about the empty ohamber
In full uniform, his bright buttons and sash -and
sword contrasting with bis dark bSde ualform,
gauntlets upon his hands, orape oh his arm and
blade, hts corded hat In bis hand, a paper oollar just
apparent above his velvet tips, and no wand then he
speaks to Captain ■ Nesmith or Oaptato Dawes, of
General Harding’s staff, rather as onel who wishes
company than one who has anything to' say. His
two silver stars upon Us‘Shoulder shine dimly to
the draped apartment. He was one of the first to
the war to urge the measures which Mr: Lincoln af
terward adopted. The aids walk to and fro, selected'
without reference to any association with the late
President. Their clothes are rieh, their swords wear
.mourning. They go to silence; everything Is fane'
real In the dimly,draped mirrors strange mirages
are seen, as in the coffin scene of “ Luoretia Borgia,”
where all the dusky perspectives bear vistas of
gloomy palls. The upholsterers make timid noises
of driving nails and spreading tapestry; but, save
onrerlvea and these few watchers and workers, only
. the dead Is here.,
’ FOBMWB THB X.INB.
As we sit brooding, with the pall- straight before
us, the funeral guns are heard Indistinctly booming
from the far forts, with the tap of drums in theaer
tied Btreet without, where troops and citizens are
forming for the grand procession. We sec through
the window in the beautiful spring day that tie
grass is brightly green, and all the trees in blossom’
show us through their archways the bronze and
marble statues breaking the horizon. Bnt there Is
one at an upper window, seeing all this Through her
tears, to whom the beautiful noon, wltli Its wealth
of zephyrs and sweets, can waft no gratnlatton.
The father of her children, theoonfldantpf her at.
faction and ambition, has passed from life Into Im
mortality. and lies below, dumb, cold, i murdered.
Toe feeling of sympathy for’Mrs. Lincoln Is as
wide-spread as the regret for the Chief Magistrate.
Whatever Indiscretions she may. have com mltted m
the abrupt transition from plalnness to power are
row forgiven and forgotten. She and her cons are
the property of the nation, associated with its truest
glories and Its worst bereavement.
THB-MqCTBiraSS.,
By and by the guests drop in,.hat In hand, wear
ing upon their sleeves waving crape, and some of
them clip up to the coffin to carry away a last im
pression of the fading face. But the first accession.
of force Is that of the clergy,, sixty to number. They
are devout-looking men, darkly attired; and have
come from all the neighboring cities to represent
every denomination. Five years ago these were
''wrangling over slavery ad a theological quesQon, i
and at the beginning of the WSr it waa hard. Tn
many of-their-bodies,-to carry loyal resolutions.
To-day there are here snob sincere mourners as
Robert Pattleon, of the Methodist church, who
passed mueh of his life among slaves and masters.
He and the rest have come to believe that the Pre-
Bident was wise aad right, and follow Him to his
grave, as the Apostles the Interred on Calvary.
All these retire to the sonth end of the room, facing
the feet of the corpse, and stand there silently to
-wait for the coming of others. - Very soon this Bast
Boom is filled with the representative Intelligence
of the entire 'nation. The Governors of States
stand on the dais next to the head oftlie eoffin,
with the varied features of Cnrtin, Brough, Fanton,
Stone, Oglesby, and Ingraham. Behind them , are
the Mayors and Oounollmen of many towns, paying
their last respects to the representative ;of the
source of all municipal freedom. To their left are
the corporate officers of Washington, zealous to
make this day’s funeral honors atone for the shame
of the assassination. With these are sprinkled
many scarred and worthy soldiers who have borne
the burden of the grand war, and stand before this
shape they loved in <iulet civil reverence. ■
MSB USED TO THB EBBBBNOB 0» DEATH. '
Still furtherdown the steps and closer to the cata
falque rest the familiar faces of many of our greatest
generals—the manly features of Augur, whose blood
Thave seen triohUng forth upon the flald of battle;
the open, almost beardless contour of HaUeok,
who has often talked of sieges and campaigns with
this homely gentleman who is going to the grave.
There are many more bright stars twinkling in con*
tlguous shoulder bars, but sitting In a chair upon
thebeflowered carpet is Ulysses Grant, who has
lived a century in the last three weeks, and comes
tc-day to add the lustre of his Iron face to this thrill
ing and saddened picture. He wears white gloves
and sash, and la swarthy, nervouß, and almost tear
ful, bis feet crossed, his square recedlsg head turn
ing now here, now there, his treble oonstellatlon
blazing upon the left shoulder only, but hidden : on
the right, and ! seem-to read upon Mb compactfea
tures the Indurate and obstinate will to fight, on the
line -he has selected, the honor of the country
through any peril, as if he Uad.sworn it by the slain
man’s bier—his state-fellow, patron, and friend.
Here also is General MeOallom, who has seamed
the rebellions South with military roads to send
victory along thous and bring back the groaning
and the scarred. These and the rest are grand his
toric figures. They have looked so often into the
mortar’s month that nobravo’s blade can make them
wince. Bo yon see the thin-haired, conical head of
the viking Fariagut, close by General Grant, with
man; naval heroes close behind, storm-beaten, and
every lneh'Americans ho thought and physiognomy!
THB BOBBISH BODIES,
Whatthtak the foreign ambassadors of suoh men,
In the light of their own overloaded bodies, where
meaninglesß orders, crosses, and ribbons shine
dimly in the fnneraUlghtl. These legations num
ber, perhaps, a hundred men, of all civilized races,
the Sardinian envoy, jetty, eyed, towering above
the rest. But they are still add respectful, gathered
thus by a slain ruler, to see how worthy is the Be*
Enbilo he has preserved. Whatever sympathy these
avefor onr institutions, I think that in such audi
ence they must have been Impressed with the futility
of any thought that either one citizen right or one
territorial inch can ever be tom from the United
States. Hot to speak disparagingly of these noble
guests, I was struck with the superior facial energy
of onr own public servants, who were generally
larger, and brighten faced, born of that an, tooraoy
which took lto patent from Tubal Gain and Abel
the goatherd, and gradaatedto Abraham Binooln.
The Haytlen minister, swarthy and fiery.faced, is
conspicuous among these.
THB I-BaSIDENT AND CABINET.
Bnt nearer down, and just opposite the catafalque
so that It la perpendicular to the direction of vision,
stand the central powers of our Government, its
President and- counsellors. - President Johnson Is
facing the middle of the coffin upon the lowest step;.
his hands arosorossed upon his breast, his dark
clothing just revealing his plaited shirt, and upon
his toll, shaven race, broad and severely eompaat,
two telling gray eyes restlunder a thoughtful brow,
whose turning hair is straight andsinpoth.' Beside
him are Vioe President Hamlfn, whom! he ’suc

With the rest, practical and attentive, and. at their
side is Chief Justice Chase, high, dignified, and
handsome, with folded arms, listening, but unde
monstrative, a half-foot higher than any spectator,
and dividing with Charles Sumner, who Isnear by,
the preference for manly beauty In age. With Mf.
Obase are other justices of the Supreme Court, and
to their left, near the feet of the corpse, are the
reverend Senators, representing the oldest and the
newest States—splendid faces, a little worn with
early and later tolls, backed up by the high, classi
cal features of Colonel Forney, their secretary.
Beyond are the representatives and leading- officials
of tho various departments, with a few odd folks

Close by the corpse sit the,relatives of the deeeas
'd, plain, honest, hardy people, ty pioal as much of
tbe simplicity of our institutions as of Mr. Elnooln’s
self- made eminence. Ho blood relatives of Mr. Bio

the poverty of his, origin, and therefore of his ex

General John B, S, Todd, Q. M. Smith, Esq., and
dr. H. W. Edwards, the late President’s brother-in

We have thought it proper before leaving for onr

important duties of that high position, for the pur
pose of assuring you that in . the future, as in tbe

measures to vindicate and establish the legal au
thority and power of the nation. Whatever dif
ferences of opinion may exist among the people of
onr State as to questions of national policy, they are
sound In the determination to matotato at all
hazards the Integrity or the Union. Wo can appre
ciate to some extent the vast responsibility of your
position at this crisis. We know that great diffi
culties will continually arlßa In your path. I assure
you, sir, that in every constitutional act whioh will
tend to suppress the rebellion, preserve the Union,
and establish anpeedy peace on a just, firm, and en
during basis,you have the support of the authorities
and people of the State of Hew Jersey.

Your words of comfort and kindness are especially
auspicious at this time, t Having been called to this

confidence which you have given: It was but the

j. SI. Sangston, a colored man or Oberlln, Ohio,
at a meeting bold by too colored citizens of Wash,
flffgton, on Tuesday night, stated that hehadhad,
In the morning, an Interview with the President of
the United States, In which he verbally laid before
him the following:
Feebidekt , Jqhhsor: ,a« President of the
National Equal■ Bfchts League, an association
whose membership Tnay be numbered by thou
sands—an association having Its branches In well
nigh all the loyal States of the Union—an associa
tion representing in a truly national sense the,
patriotism and loyalty of the colored American—
I have the honor to present to you In your new posi
tion as President of the United States, our con
gratulations and sympathies; and pledge tt> you,
-In your endeavors to support and perpetuate the
Union, the Constitution, and the laws or our country,
“ our lives, our property, and our sacred honor.”
The colored Amerloanaska hut two things. He
asks, alter proving his devotion to his country by
responding to her call In the hour of hersorest.trial,
and after demonstrating, upon manybotly-oontested
battle-fields, his manhood and valor, that he have,
first, complete emancipation, ana secondly, full
(quality before American law. Your past history,
as connected with the rebellion, gives us full assu
rance that in your hands our cause shall receive no
detriment, and thatonr liberty and rights will be
fully protected and sustained. Weate not Ignorant
of the many noble utterances of freedom which you
have made to the colored people of your own State,
Tennessee, nor are we Ignorant of the high estimate
■ In which they hold you as their friend and , bene-
We cannot forbear to express to you, sir, our grief
and sorrow In view of the sad calamity—the foul
. assassination of Abraham Lincoln, your predeces
sor, which this day makes us * Indeed a nation of
mourners.
In reply, the President said: ** _ ■
Sib": 1 thank you for this Interview. I reoslve
-the kindness and honor which yon now express to
me in the same spirit I would 11 you were of another,
class. „, ~
I need not state to youmy past history. It M well;
understood by you. In It you will find the guarantee
of my future conduct toward your people. Where
the colored people know me best they have, confi
dence Jnme. No man can oharge me with haying
proved false to the promises I have made to any olass
of the people In my publle life. I fear that leading
colored men do not understand and appreciate the
loot that they have friends on the south side or the
line. They have, and they are as faithful and
staunch as any north of the line. It may be a very
tasy thing, Indeed popular, to be an emancipationist
north of the line, "but a very different thing, to be
such south of It. South of it, it costs a man effort,
property, and perhaps life. You may express these
sentiments, together with my thanks, to the people
whom you represent. -

'Correspondence of The Frees, ]
Fout Wadswobth, d. T., March 27,1865,
Thinking that some of your readers might be En
tertained with a description ef a buffalo hunt, I sit
me down to attempt it, though greatthe under
taking for a novice, as it requires an experienced
writer to do jnstloe to such a vivid and exoltlhg
scene. On Thursday evening, 17th Instant, the pay
master, Major Brewer (always a welcome visitor),
accompanied by Surgeon Stees, of the Independent
Minnesota Cavalry (on an inspecting tour as to the
sanitary condition of the outposts), escorted by a
cavalry force, under Sergeant Blggß, enlivened our
fort with their oheertng countenances. Fort Wads
worth is beautifully situated on the Ooteau, a high
tableland, near latitude 46, tod eighty miles south
west from Fort Abercrombie, Dakota Territory,
and Twin Lakes, military post, midway. It is sur
rounded by a beautifnl nest of lakes, filled with
fish-pickerel, perch; &o. The entranoe to the fort
le by. a narrow neok of land, making the fort more
secure and perfect as a military defence. In sum
mer season it Is a delightful place, being a perma
nent military post, with a capacity for 1,000 men.
On Friday morning one of the Sioux scouts an
nounced a bard of buffalo feeding on tho bay
meadow, adlstanceof twenty mllos. Using out of
trash beel, and some : of- bis troops affected with
eonrvy, os a military neoeSßlt; Major Bose (former
ly a Philadelphian) announced a buffalo bunt, and
ordered all things to be ready early next (Satur
day) morning, Saturday, 9A. M., we monntedour
chargers at headquarters, and moved off In column
of twos—Major B. Bose and Surgeon Stees, of Phi
iadelshla; Major Brewer and Major Downie; Cap
tain Everetcn and Quartermaster McKuslok; then
followed a half dozen Indians and half-breeds, under
the Sioux ohlef, Bed Feather, who was dressed in a
double-breasted military coat, and a turban made
of a whlte-and-red striped handkerohtef, and leather
breeches; a staffed pad, ornamented with beads and
two stirrups, lor a saddle; a cord around Us horse's
lower jaw and one end in his hand for a bridle,
with an extra long cord rolled and In his belt, with
one end around his horse’s neok. He is fifty-fire
years of age, and well proportioned, and rode grace
fully, with a dignified mein. The oord in hie bait
is used In accident, to secure and mount his horse
with ease when wounded. At 11 A. M. we reached
the meadow, twenty miles square—a place where
the garrison obtain thoir hay—at the loot of the
Ooteau, where we halted for the coming up of the
rear, a six-male sled, loaded with provisions, bed
ding, &c., for encamping oat a night or two. We
again advanced on the trot for five or six miles,
when we distinguished a black spot on the horizon,
which was a buffalo bull. Crawford, a scout, ana
his compeer, Ur. Stees, galloped forward about
three miles, then rode in a circle, three times de
scribing a ring, which is the Sioux sign for fresh
trails, where they halted until we came up, and
the sfgnsof a large herd being evident, as the snow
was literally beaten down into paths, we rode two
miles farther and same In sight of about a thousand:
ln aherd. We continued in oolumn to the leeward
until, we. got nearly bayond them; then to the left
obliquely, describing an arc. We then eame to a
left flank- By this time the whole herd of buffalo
had changed their walk into a gallop (they never
trot), and down on them we came llke'a fall oavalry
.charge. Bang! bang! bang! went the guns.
Whoop!. whoop! yelled the Indians, the balls
whistling by our ears, as if in a regular skirmish.
Down fell buffalo alter buffalo, and down went home
and rider. Both lay as dead. I rode up to see who It
.was, and render assistance. On approaching I dis
covered It was Surgeon Stees; Ms horse had plunged.
In a gopher hole, and fallen with him. Hfs carbine
having iallen on Ms head, be lay stunned and mo
tionless, as well as Ms horse. After a little time he
was extricated, rose to his feet, and took his horse
by. the reins, who sprang, bo keenly-excited and
anxious to pursue the buffalo still farther, that Ms
rider, with Ms sprained ankle, eould scarcely man
age him so as to mount again. In looking over the
hunting prairie I noticed that the herd had broken
upinto a number of email herds, and the hunters In
lull ohase shooting them down; the Indians, sitting
on their steeds, guided by a dord around their lower
jaw, in lull speed, ramming down their powder and
ball, and returning ram-rod as easily as one of us
while standing onterra flrma; and as far as my eye
could carry I noticed a black spot here and there—
a dead buffalo—the result of the ohase. On riding
round and summing up, I found that Crawford, the
scout, killed three; Maj. Bose, three; Surgeon Stees,
two, and a calf; Bed Feather, three;. Sammy
Brown (Indian Agent’s son), two; Major Downie,
o*e; Paymaster Brewer, one; Sergeant Biggs,
two. As near as I can estimate, twenty-five lay
dead on the place of attack.- Then came the Inter
esting work of skinning, quartering, removing the
; tongues, Ac:, and loading up toe sleighs.
About this time toe day was gone, and it was ap
preaching night, and toe far-distant dismal howls of
the buffalo wolf became more numerous and closer,
as tbey smelt the blood of toe buffalo sprinkled over
the enow. lt growing darker and darker, we tried
to find toe ha; camp, a distance of thirteen mites.
We Sept up aline of firing until-we all reached the
camp. We soon found two missing—Major Bose
and Surgeon Stepe-ronr efforts' were unavailing
until Sunday at noon. We found that they had
both become separated and lost. Surgeon. Stees
being an.entire stranger on toe prairies, he turned
his horse towards the Wrth star, dropped the reins
on bis neok, and Urged him, forward, toe horse
taking his own direction through too driftedsnow,,
and reached Fort Wadsworth at 12K midnight. He
was helped from hla horse into headquarters, almost
having perished with cold from the cutting winds
on the Coteau, and the injuries sustained by Ms fall
from his horse. Major Bose was not so successful la
getting into toe fort; he got too far to toe north
east, and did not arrive until 2Ji A. M, The rest of
enr hunters had a pleasant time In toe hay camp
■ during, the night. Major Bose rode Ms favorite
charger, a fine bay, wMoh had been with Mm
through a'numbcr of battles South. He Informed ms
that he rode beyond toe hill, and- discovered the
plains fulh of buffalo as far as the eye could see,
about 25.000. He says he never sawsuoh a sight be
fore. We also saw two droves of elk,-but could not
get within shot of-tbem. I should shy that thelu
stlnotsoi the animal he rode also brought back Maj.
Roßeto toe fort. J

Dr, Galllgo, the director of the Italian medical
journal, L'lmparzioU, thus speaks of the virulent
epidemic which Is now desolating St. Petersburg:
We have received from Dr. Tllleun physician to
the Grand Duchess Marla of Russia, who has just
arrived from St. Petersburg, some Important details
respecting the disease now raging in that capital.
This malady appears to ho neither a fever of an in
termittent or continuous nature, nor yet a, simple
typhoid fever; but It certainly is very virulent and
dangerous. According to the opinions of the Rus
sian physicians, It is the same fever that was ob
served for the first time in Scotland In the year
. 1819, and denominated in that country the intermit
tent fever, ftom the length of the Intermissions and
the prolonged attacks. This fever Is ushered In by
cold shivering, alternating with remarkable heat
(from 40 deg. to 41 deg. centigrade, or 106 deg. Fah
renheit), the pulse beating 130. Great prostration
and disorder are observable In the nervous aotlons,
although the state of the mental faculties re
mains unaltered; frequent pains are felt in the
head and limbs, great pain Is also felt In
the left hypoohondriae region, and an ex
amination of the palpitation and percussion
proves the spleen to have Immensely decreased In
volume. The skin Is yellow In color, owing to Jho
liver being likewise affected by the malady. The
initiatory attack of the fever lasts bom seven to
eight days, and terminates with a very copious per
spiration. Alter the first paroxysm, an Interval oc
curs of seven or eight days, during which the pa.
tlent appears almost as well as ever, hut at the ex
piration of that period a second attack manifests
itself like the first, but accompanied with still
greater prostration. This continues also about se
ven days, terminating, like the other, with profuse
perspiration. Sometimes a third paroxysm de*
Glares Itself after a lurther Interval of seven days,
one of the symptoms being a burning thirst and
complete aneurism, and the patient sinks Into the
most profound state of prostration. Tho rate of
mortality is 8 per cent., and the victims of this ma
lady die during tho second attaok, usually from a
hind of general paralysis, or through, serious de
rangement of the nervous organs, with real deoom.-.
position of theblood and an enormous Increase da.
the spleen. The- llv# also becomes greatly ■
enlarged, but the Intestines, on the- other
hand, are either" found healthy or else
hardly congested.. Everything, dm* hitherto
railed to shorten the duratlon.of tho ieurile attacks.
Salts of quinine, given ha large and" small doses,
have been quite ineffectual to overcome tne attacks
characteristic of this malady. Da the second parox
ysm, in which there is Increased prostration of the
forces, the most powerful stimulants have been ad
n> blistered—such as moss wine, alcohol, ether, cam
phor, &e,; but they produoe little or no effect. The
chief ea.ua* of this disease Is supposed- to bathe
arrival In St. Petersburg of an Immense number of
workmen from the neighboring provinces, and eyen
from the most distant towns. It Is said there are
lust now in the capital forty-three thousand work
men more than tho usual number. The consequence
of this Is that Ihey cannot find work, and areobliged
to live In unhealthy localities, and to live upon the
black bread, which contains this year much more
horned rye than in prevlons years. It has been
discovered by chemical analysis that this bread
contains one per cent, of homed rye in the flour
with which it Is made. Thus every working man
"living on the same maybe calculated to eat one
hundred grains of horned rye per diem. Besides
this, the oxen, cows, and other animals being no
longer slaughtered In St. Petersburg, but at
Moscow, whence the meat is despatched ready pre
pared, the heads, hoofs, feet, and intestines of these
animals, which -previously formed one of the staple
articles of sustenance of the poorer classes, on ac
count of their cheapness, are no longer to be had at
St; Petersburg, and the poor are now compelled
to live almost exclusively upon the above-mentioned
bread, which contains-injurious substances, partly
contributing to produce the disease In question.
The malady Is exclusively confined to the poorer
Masses. - _ _ _
The epidemic Is still committing fearful ravages
at St. Petersburg. Offioial returns, as to the Mot
her of oasts have altogether ceased of late; but
from the large sums voted by the metropolitan au
thorities, or supplied by-Government, some idea
may be formed or the extent and virulence of tin
malady. Besides two hundred thousand roubles
contributed by the treasury, four hundred additional
oeds have been placed at the disposal of the town,
«sd large subscriptions made by the princes and
Aristocracy. The town, too, has opened a new hos
pital at the cost of sixty thousand roubles, eonslde
-ably augmenting at the same time the funds of the
various charities, and aiding the convents ,tu the
tare and reception of the sick. The malady Is stated
o have broken out originally on the other side of
■ho Ural Mountains, whence It slowly threaded Its
way towards St, Petersburg, increasing as It went,
md culminating at length among the destitute
classes of an unhealthy and densely populated capi
at In Its steady advance towards the west It has
-ow reached the Prussian frontier, and, in a milder
orm, already shown Itself In the towns of Eonlgs
rerg, liantri* and Gumblnsen. In the Waldal
.ills, to the srouthwest of St. Petersburg, whole vil
lages are said to have been depopulated. .

Meeti»* Between General Wallace and
tbe Kebel General Slaughter.
[From the New Orleans Picayune, April 12 ]
“A trustworthy gentleman, who has just returned
from the Bio Grande,” gives the following Important
fasts:
The steamship Clinton carried out to Brazos San
tiago Major General Lew Wallace, who was fsent
to the Bio Grande on a speelal mission, supposed to
concern the expulsion of our consul at Matamoros
by Maximilian, and the return or rebel deserters
by Mejia.
... The result of the consul affair la not Mown. It
Is not even known that any explanation whatever
was demanded; hot the conference with Mejia was
entirely satisfactory. That officer’ had simply en
tered into an arrangement with the rebel General
Slaughter for the delivery of murderers and thieves
etcaplng from their respective States.
General Slaughter sent emote to General Wal
lace, requesting an Interview, which was granted,
and the meeting, took place at Point Isabel, Texas.
The best feeling existed between the Union and
rebel parties, and a good soolal time was enjoyed.
The result was that the Ollnton, bearing a oolonel
of Wallace’s staff, wltb despatches for Gen. Ganby,
was sent back to Now Orleans, with orders to land
at the wharf of Galveston on her return.
Gen. Wallace remained In Texas. He is probably
now at Galveston, awaiting the arrival of the Clin
ton. She sails for that port to-night.
The same informant states that the rebel leaders
of the Trar&MltslKlppl army, fully convinced of
the utter hopelessness of the cause,-have resolved
to secede therefrom and proclaim the Independence
cf Texas as a sovereign State, preparatory, pro
bably, to seeking reulmistlon into the old Onion.
.The Brownsville Ranchero bitterly deneunoes this
sobeme, which proves that there must be some foun
dation for it.
Fossil. Bkkaihs op th* Epbphakt op Malta.
—The explorations of Dr, Adams among the cave
deposits and alluvial soils of the Maltese Islands
have been lately crowned with such signal suooess
that we think the publlo would be glad to be made
acquainted wltb tbe leading dots. Uaptatn Spratt,
the Indefatigable hydrographer of the Mediterra
nean, was the first to bring to light the remains of
the remarkable fossil elephant of Malta (elephas
metitenis) by bis explorations in the Zebbug save In
1850 since that time Dr. Adams has been unre
mitting in Ms exertions to . discover more traces of
this extinct species, and has been fortunate enough
to find them In many new localities In Malta. He
has just met with Its teeth In great quantities la
a cavern nearOrendi. In another gap, evidently
at one time the bed of a torrent, be has found the'
teeth and bones of thirty more Individuals. These
skeletons of old and young elephants are met with
jammed between large blocks of stone, hi a way
that elesrly shews that the carcases must have
been burled into tbelr present situations by violent
floods or freshets. He has now brought together a
complete skeleton of this wonderful Uttle represen
tative of an order of quadrupeds, to which we had,
until the fossil Maltese elephant appeared, applied
the word gigantic There can be no doubt, how
ever, that It scarcely exceeded a small pony In
height. It is to be hoped that Dr. Adams will give
% detailed account of his highly interesting discove
ries to the scientific world.
Tub Kby op OastlbThuhdbb.—Rev. Dr. Brown,
editor of the American Baplist, has in his possession
tbe key of the notorious rebel prison, Oastle Thun
der. It was brought to New Zork by Rev. Solomon
Gale, of Tolland, Conn., and it is intended to dis
pose of It by auction for the benefit of the orphans
of our volunteers. The key is by no means a formi
dable-looking instrument, being about the size of
our ordinary door-keys. It has apparently seen
much service.
HOME ASH FOUBIBS NOTES.
We sec In the English papers that a scenes had
been formed at Mr. Sothern’s house, the Cedars,
Kensington, for the pnrposrof exhibiting the rope

— At Castleford, in England, a man named Leach,
a workman at a glass manufactory In the neighbor
hood, hAB died, It is supposed, from tbe effects of

taking of this oil Into the system, and yet Leach’s
death cannot be accounted for on any other assump

FIAASCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
There wu a marked revival yesterday in butines*
circles from tbe depreisloa which marked the eosfrw of
trade else* Saturday. UntfVhowevcr. the obsequtto
of the late President of the trailed States are entirely
over, we do not expect to see the general business of
the country resume its former activity. Happily for
ourselves, the recent sad event cause* no material in
terruption to the .usual come of affairs; on the eoa
fcnry, publle confidence, though for awhile somewhat
shaken by. the awful calamity of Friday last, « not
or ly fully restored, but placed on as lira a basis as
could be reasonably expected. The evidence of thta
is shown In the sdvauee jee*erday in Government
losna, which are still the favorite,' and almost the ex
clusive lavement of the peopled funds. The sub
scriptions to the 7- SP loan come In as freely as ever, and
keep in steady employment the eoontless clerks *nd
agents of the subscription agent, Mr Cooke assure*
us that there is no lack in any part of the country 1a the
enthusiasm, manifested from the beginning with re
gard to this popular loan People subscribe to It
through two motive*, namely, patriotism and profit.
While It is true that the subscriber assists the Govern
ment tothe extent of his subscription, and that far con
tributes to the support of our braresold!ers,iti<e«gaaUy
true, at the same time, that be 'consult* bis own private
financial interest very effectually. The Government
seed not ask subscriptions on tbe ground merely of * pa
triotism ;* ’ the security offered end the high interest are
sufficient recommendations for the sale of tbe\foaa The
truth of this is shown in the fact that the Government
loans are eageriy taken by all classes or people, and ef
s)l shades of political opinion What will bs the con
dition of tbe country at the close of the war is a subject
which lie attracting considerable discussion. The con
dition of affairs will be far better than was experienced
at the close of the war with Great Britain in 1815, for
then the labor of'ibe country was 'performed by hand,
but now the introduction of labor- saving machinery is
making avast difference in the productive resources.
The development of earth oil bids fair to he of %s much
importance as the cotton crop, and the yield of the pre
cious metals from the mints is already larger than the
drain to foreign countries, giving us tbe means by which
speeds payment* can be resumed at no distant psriod af
ter the cessation of hostilities. This foot should remove
any anxletyHhat may be felt about a sufficient supply
of gold and stiver for that purpose after the volume cf
the currency Is reduced by the funding process sod tax
ation. In the past four years, with' one-half of the
country closed to the commercial world and deprived e t
the former advantages of the cotton -rrade, the loyal seo
tion has set only sustained itself but greatly Increased
its means of productive wealth. and when e.-ttou ag*i&
