SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1865. 49* We omi take no notice of anonymous oommu juoatlons. We do not return rejected manuscripts. SO- voluntary eorrespondeneels sollolted from all Smarts tne world, and espeolally from our different snlUtarj and naval departments. When nsed.lt will he paid for. TTUe World, The Press, and Edwin Booth. It does not happen once in a year that We leave the straight path of duty to notice the assaults of political or personal adver saries. Our theory, and we have steadily tried to conform our practice to it, is that nothing so degrades and dwarfs the influ ence of leading newspapers as the habit of interchanging epithets between their edi tors. There is no reason why the great profession of journalism should not be Composed of and controlled by gentle men. The bar, the bench, the clergy, owe a great part of their strength to the avoidance of this wretched habit of mutual crimination. Nothing offends the sensibilities of intelligent people more thqn Jhe exchange of angry words and foul lan guage by those who write what they must read, although it-is true that nothing gives more satisfaction to ill-bred and narrow minds. The New York World, with vast pretentions to newspaper excellence, and With spasmodic efforts to appear decorous, is yet the foulest and most slanderous sheet in Amerioa, without counting its shameless and incurable sympathy with the whipped traitors. We need not instance its shock ing assaults upon Mr. Lincoln, while he lived and labored for his country—assaults Which all its affected horror at the manner of his death cannot blot from men’s memories; nor the blood-hound spirit With which it pursued and calumniated Andrew Johnson — a spirit which, by its ready and debasing praise since he became President, it vainly seeks to atone for; nor its unmanly flings at Mr. Lincoln’s family several mftoths ago "; nor yet its heartless insult of Mr. Seward while that great statesman lay stretched on what was sup posed to be his death-bed. These cases, With daily similar exhibitions, show that the World is resolved to be consistent; that as it is committed to the most wicked and ungrateful of all purposes—that of aiding to overthrow the Government that protects it—the best way to prove its sincerity is to call to its aid the meanest of instruments land the worst of passions. Ia the World Df Thursday there is a congenial para graph dedicated to the editor and proprie tor of this journal in consequence of an article, alluding to Mr. Edwin Booth, Which appeared in our columns shortly after the President’s assassination. Of course Jhe editor of The Press is respon sible for this article, while he deeply re grets its appearance in our columns, and would, undoubtedly, have rejected it had he been in Philadelphia, or could he have Seen it in advance of its publication. He had hoped that some knowledge of our habit on like these, never, if we can help it, permitting mere personal feel ing to find its way to the public with our aid, might have operated, not upon the World people, but upon Mr. Edwin Booth, whose cause they seem to espouse With van unction very much like their Championship of the leading sympathizers With the rebellion. It is Mr, Booth’s dou ble misfortune to be the brother of the most Savage, flendißh assassin of modem, and. We think of ancient times, and to be de.- fended by a newspaper that has done much to excite the very passions that found ex pression in the horrible tragedy of the 14th ' Of April. In Ms just and natural sensitive ness, however—especially since, at least, one other member of his family has fallen Under very recent and grave suspicion— Mr, Booth should teach his journalistic friends that men in Ms position should not solicit or countenance assaults, filled with -and reviving the lowest falsehoods and calumnies, upon journalists who have no purpose to entangle those who claim to be innocent in this bloody skein Of crime. be many years be fore the horfi'd;§eed is forgotten. Con nected as it is with grave national con cerns, it has already involved some who. Were loudest in. proclaiming their loyalty and their guiltlessness, and more may be caught in the course of the -coming inquiry. If Mr. Edwin Booth and bis friends desire to keep up the cur tain that should Mde- all parties to this frightful transaction, we have no Objection. Let the cause of justice go on .Until all that are really guilty are detected and punished, and all that are unjustly sus pected are cleared. j Tlie Government of the Rebellious States. The doctrine that the efforts Of the Se cessionists of 1800-61 to dissever the con nection between the disloyal and the loyal States tps a legal absurdity, as it has since been provena military impossibility, in no wise restricts the power of the Federal Government in vindicating its authority. It has been the proudest boast of the earth’s conquerors that their martial successes enabled them to reconstruct the map of the world. We recognize in this country, in all the wondrous map-making we have done, as our territory has expanded from a strip of land upon the shores of the At lantic to the dimensions of a continent, and as we have. transformed rude^wastes, un known to.civilization a century ago, into .magnificent empire States teeming with productive wealth, and with wise, brave men, but one geographical exponent. The Sovereign will of the American people, as expressed through their legal represen tatives, has prescribed all the mighty boundaries that thrill with exultation the hearts of our children, and define how and Where our mighty Republic rolls “dis tinct as the billows, yet one as the sea.” That majestic tribunal having set the inetes and bounds of certain States which have been recently imbued with a rebel lious feeling, it does not become usJ» con sider anylof our work undone thereby. We have merely to nullify the acts of those Who impiously attempted to pull down our proud temple stone by stone. We have the right, and it is our duty, to see that our Constitution and laws shall reign Supreme. Traitors have boldly anO de fiantly opposed them; but from a death struggle we are emerging in triumph, and they have been utterly overwhelmed. There are loyal citizens in every State. A few, at least, have kept alive their ancient faith. We have no Sodom without ten righteous men. The assured triumph of our arms ha 3 everywhere evoked a Union sentiment that cannot be wholly insincere. The leaders, who flaunted their treason, Tiaving forfeited their lives, must seek, as best they can, escape from the consequences of their crime, and they will have neither the influence to obtain, or the disposition . to seek, those posts of State power from Which, in any event, the Federal Govern ment would exclude them. The Southern people, thus freed from pernicious coun ,Bels, warned by the horrors of four years •of warfare of the fatal folly of rebellion, and taught their true interests by the new ■Union leaders that will spring up every. Where among them, may yet learn to atone -for past errors by future loyalty. Wheu they find that none but the loyal can govern, they Will not be siow to abandon all feelings of regret for an exploded Confederacy. Loyal mem find special cause for re joicing in the decision ,of the Attorney! General, forbidding the return to the North of the misguided miscreants who •deserted their original homes to join the civil or military forces of the rebellion; They are double-dyed traitors, for they Waned against their local as well as their National Government, and violated all the instinct# of patriotism. Having aban doned their country for the express pur pose of injuring it, and having Voluntarily ufiosen to join their fate with’ that of its enemies, they should be left to drink the last dregs of the bitter cup of defeat and desolation. - Treason a Crime, In all nations treason has been const dered the highest crime possible against the Government, and -when that Govern ment, as in a kingdom, was vested in a single head, the person of the' monarch became sacred, and a crime against him was visited by the severest punishments. Politically, this seems a mere safeguard erected by kings for their personal security, hut under it lies a grand fundamental truth—that crime against the greater num ber is the greater crime! In the general laxity out society the very opposite opinion has had currency. There has been an impres sion that a crime against a man who could individually suffer the consequences in purse or person was really greater than an offence against a community or nation, Which, like a corporation, could have -no soul. But as love to the neighbor has been inculcated by our highest law, that feeling must extend, more widely, and ascend to a higher grade, as men are multiplied into communities. The golden rule applied, to the individual extended to the nation, ele - * <v "' of patriots! dead to tha\ acriiigp of the vgrei To thelmi in tie long by the foiils liest guilt, other sin by trayed. Ti one owing winch the ii cessarily ii vows, ingrai tion <tf pai confidence reposed. The most fearM pages of history are the rehearsals of the violations of trust, friendship, and fealty, and the terrible retribution that follo wed in that stormy past, when crime was not avenged by law, but revenged by the red, right hand of the injured. One of the sternest judges and subtlest reasonefs that the world has seen, as well as one. of its crowned poets, Dante, has. made the place of punishment for treason the inmost of Ms hells. There, in extremest torment, he confines those guilty of treach-. ery to kindred, king, and country, and in the very centre of the ice-bound circle stands the arch traitor, Satan, who rebelled and drew after him the. third part of Heaven. With this greatest of sinners is Judas, who betrayed the Highest with a kiss, and, on either hand, as .only lesser than he, Brutus and Cassius I This strange array has perplexed and confounded the commentators. Various and clever have been their efforts to rescue Bbutus from Ms sad eminence, but the poet concealed a great thought under the rude symbol. He considered Cajsar as the representative of government, the embodiment of law, the establishment of order—and, as such, the object of fealty. Therefore, the blow di rected against Mm was not mere assassina tion or murder, but treachery against a ruler, treason against a nation, defiance of law, a sin of the widest influence and the direst effects. The Flight of Davis. If the current report of the flight of Jefferson Davis,' with a large sum of money stolen from the Confederate banks, and wrung from an impoverished people, be true, as we think: it is, however much his escape from retributive justice may be regretted, the position he will occupy in the minds of the American people will be as deeply disgaceful as Ms enemies could desire. Scorned in the North for - his cruelty, Ms treason, and his many crimes, he will be hated in the South as a fugitive tMef! No dignity of martyrdom, no halo of courageous strife will cling to Ms dis honored name- He will crown Ms infamy by earning universal contempt. Where he was once feared he will be despised; and where he was once loved and re spected he will be universally detested. He' will descend from a Mstoric pinnacle to the level of ,a vulgar criminal, and rank rather with adventurous swindlers than with daring revolutioMsts. He will naturally find Ms deadliest foes among MS former dupes, for they will be com pelled to class Mm as one who, after plunging them into inextricable difficul ties and . innumerable miseries, selfisMy profited by their distresses, and spent the - last dying hours of their darling Confede racy in contriving how best he could rob its coffers, and use Ms waning power for Ms personal aggrandizement. A Rod of Correction. One paragraph of the .official report made by Gen. Sherman of his march from Sa vannah to North Carolina strikingly illus trates the folly of all further resistance by the South, and affords a significant hint to future commanders if any attempts are made to perpetuate a guerilla war. He states that during his whole march Ms foraging parties and cavalry skirmishers swept, a , country about forty t miles in breadth, and so completely exhausted its provisions. and live stock that it was not only rendered incapable of furnishing fur ther supplies to the Confederate army, but plunged in such destitution that the inhabi tants were compelled to seek for food in other sections of the Confederacy,.or from the Confederate authorities! Under ordi nary. circumstances measures-, like tMa would be cruel and unjustifiable; but the fact that we have the power to repeat them ad libitum in any disaffected district ■ will go fax to extinguish the expiring em bers of rebellion. When men prove deaf to reason and justice, and show that they can be controlled only by that instinct of terror that holds the most savage beasts in awe, it is well to have a convenient and effective rod of correction in our posses sion. Summer at Hand. The public are to be congratulated on the feet that next Monday will be” May day. If Dr. Cuhming’s prediction that the world will come to an end next year be true, who knows whether we shall ever again have a return of the day ? It Is the commencement of the Summer, we pre sume, seeing that the twenty-first of June is midsummer-day. Iu Philadelphia, how-~ ever, it is- chiefly noticeable for the fact that from that day until the last of Octo ber, no Biddy nor Molly, Pat nor Sambo, can souce the pavement with water, to the annoyance of people’s temper, and the in jury of people’s garments. The “autho rities ” have omitted, this time, to publish the usual announcement that a City Ordi nance proMbits pavemeat-wasMng between the hours of seven in the morning and seven in the evening, and imposes a smart fine upon all who violate that-extremely proper restriction. All parties concerned should know, however, that the Ordinance comes into operation on Monday. No more, then, at midday will citizen or stranger be subject to the annoyance caused by letting a stream of water inundate the foot-path before dwelling-houses—that very dirty cleanliness wMch so often compels ladies to turn off into the street, to avoid having their shoes or gaiters saturated with wet. For six months, then, the public will be free from a terrible nuisance. We trust that the police will do their duty and make examples of a few offenders. A score of fines will suffice to make the City Ordinance a fact. For our own part, we should rejoice if, during the six months in wMch the pro hibition is inoperative, it could be made so. There is no good cause why, winter as well as summer, wasMng the footpaths before habitations should not be prohibited after seven o’clock A. ,M. This can be en forced, and ought to be. The Was Pbess fortMs week, which is now ready for delivery, contains full de tails of the obsequies of our late Presi dent. After the closing seines in Wash ington follow descriptions of the passage of the remains through Pennsylvania, the reception at Harrisburg,-and the arrival at Philadelphia. The ceremonies in this city are fully described, and a fine account of the obsequijs in New York is given by our special 'correspondent. , Tho War Press also contains the news from Sherman, and every other important historical event of the past week, together with a large amount of interesting literary and miscel laneous matter. LETTER FROM “ OCCASIONAL.” Washington, April 38, 1865. Now that Booth is dead, and Hatrold, Ms boy-accomplice in the carnival of blood that makes the 14th of April, 1865, stand out like a ghastly token of the turpitude and cruelty of man, is in custody, the strongest hope is indulgecHthat the other parties to the assassination may be brought' to light and punishment. Best assured that the same vigilance which has been so successful in securing these bloody Wretches will be maintained until the entire mystery is Stanton has made of his Depart ment “An Universal Eye.” Like Riche lieu, when he felt that he was sur rounded with spies and traitors, so the Secretary of War may feel in re gard to his country, which ’ has been so from - the beginning. In this city, and In many of, the departments, long before the t rebellion, bad men plotted the over thrbw of the Republic, and received the money of the Government in order td poison its vitals and to hasten its death; and when the war broke out, too many remained conscienceless in their hatred of the benefactor that fed them, and committed to the traitors who had sworn to .destroy our institutions. The crime of Booth was but the culmi nation of a conspiracy that had been years in hatcMng. Born in this neighbor hood; accustomed to associate with the negro-breeders and slave-traders in the border counties of Maryland and Virginia; educated in the Borgia school of Southern;, cMvalry; reared to a lazy life, and. filled with all the hatred of good men and good principles inherent in the advocates and' disciples of secession, his was one of the hands that pointed the time on the seces sion clock, and moved responsive to the works within. But when he struck the fatal hour he did not know that, as the grave closed .upon the sacred corpse of Abraham Lincoln, the long-hidden caverns of treason would be opened, and the infamy and crime that had been festering fbr ages would be. exposed to the light of day and the inexorable vengeance of out raged Christianity, justice, and-freedom; We now have the clue to the web which has been weaving for so long a time; and if the whole conspiracy is not traced to Its innermost recesses, and the parties, high and low, who have been engaged in this work of unutterable, villainy made known to the world, it will not be because the most skilful, unsleeping, and courageous auxiliaries are not employed by the Secre. taryofWar. If we are at the end of the rebellion we are at the beginning of ex posures equally interesting if less sangui nary. We are on the threshhold of such an unveiling of the plots and counter plots that have been hatched here and through the South, as will startle even those who were-ready to believe that slave ry would leave nothing undone to accom plish its ends. Indeed, the stake wMch the gamesters and tyrants of treason con tended for was a dazzling one, and, there fore, to secure it they subsidised every pos sible influence. Farting with conscience when they started upon the rebellion, they winked at the worst of practices, and at last, as coolly Mred assassins, and murderers, as Macbeth after he had been steeped in Ms first crime, and engaged desperadoes to MU Banquo and Fleance in order to make Ms road easy to the throne. And. is it the chivalry that has done all tMs ? The men who have read philosophy ,in the closet, acted gentility in the saloon, and talked statesmanship in the Senate ? Have these men fallen so low ! I must not be misunderstood as holding the people of the South responsible for a deed wMch has awakened a demand for vengeance by millions of human beings, but Ido charge it upon the authors of the rebellion—-upon the flying fugitive, Jefferson Davis V-a darker assassin than even Booth himself—jfnd upon the men who followed. him, and. are now trying to save their wicked livea in das tardly flight. Let us hope that days have elapsed, enough will tie known to the authorities to punish the guilty par-, .ties to-the recent tragedy, to enable ffie Government to fortify itself, not alone against similar atrocities upon individuals Mgh in position, but against any further attempts to unsettle the foundations of the public life, and to defy the national autho rity in any quarter of our broad land. THE DEATH OF BOOTH. THE MOVEMENTS PREVIOUS TO THE CAPTURE. 'llie Course of the night of the Mur derer and his Accomplice. FULL AND CORRECT PARTICULARS OF THE LAST SCENE The Dying Words or the Murderer—The Disposition of the Body, [Special Deupatth to The Press.] Washihgton, AprJl 2g. HISTORY OF THE CAPTURE OF BOOTH. Until the excitement attendant upon the news of Booth’s capture had subsided last night. It was Impossible to get, for publication, a reliable state-, ment of the Incidents In a connected form. Every body who had been of the expedition was button holed by quid mows, and the day was consumed by Lieut. Col. Conger, Lieut. Balter, Lieut. Doherty, and Sergeant Corbett, the [principal actors .In the capture, In relating to eager newsmongers the his tory of the affair. I forwarded you yesterday the mixed mass of information thus obtained, and, iu order that your readers may hare a brief connected statement, I have obtained from some ofthe officers above named, including Col. Baker, under whose direction the whole work has been performed, the following: From the time (some twelve days ago) that Co lonel Baker .was brought here from Wow York, by telegrain from Secretary Stanton, until last Sunday morning, no satisfactory results had followed the very general employment of dotectlv.es, eto. The southern counties of Maryland had been thoroughly searched by a force Consisting of 1,600 oavalry and about 600 detectives and cjtiaens, On Sunday morn ing last Colonel Baker received Information from a ‘ boy which Induced him to believe that ha was now well started upon the track of the assassins.- He sent a force, In company with a telegraph operator, to tap wires and establish a telegraph office at Chapel Point. These parties returned, bringing certain Information, and with them a negro man, who, npon close Interrogation, disclosed the fact that Booth and companion had within a few hours crossed the river at Swan Point. Up to this time i no authorised search had been made In the adjoin ing Virginia counties, and Colonel Baker deter mlnedto send his assistants,Lieut. 001. E. J. Conger and Lieut. L, B. Baker, in pursuit. Upon request, Gen. Hancock furnished for their assistance a de tachment of ft cavalrymen, of the letff N. Y, on. vairy, under command or Lieut. Of this detachment, Sergeant Corbett was one. It was known that Booth was travelling very slowly, bn crutches, and could not ride an horseback, and It was believed he had by'this time reached Pori Xoyal. . The foree, thus organised, left the Sixth-street-' wharf boat at twenty-five minutes past four o’clock last Monday afternoon, and arrived at Belle Plain between ten and eleven that night. They got upon, land, and pushed down the river several miles, hear ing nothing satisfactory. They got no trace ol the erimlnals until they arrived at Porf Royal ferry, where they found the ferryman and his negro as sistant sitting quietly at the edge of the water. The ferryman was asked If he had seen auohmen as they described. Me denied having brought /any such; over. He was threatened with personal violence If. he did not divulge the truth; he still persisted In de nying that he had seen the men. The pictures or Booth and Xtarrold were exhibited to the ferry man and his negro servant. ' Upon looking at the photographs the negro exclaimed, “ Why; massn, we took dem gentlemen over on de boat yesterday !’j The ferryman then owned up, and gave directions how to follow the fugitives. With this information, and such other as was obtained from- time to time from straggling paroled rebel prisoners, the party was again upon the right track. They rode several miles, passed by tbe house of Garrett, and went be yond some fourteen miles. Here they met a negro man, who said he had that afternoon seen two men sitting upon the porch at Garrett’s house. His de scription left no doubt that these were Booth and Harrold. It was now about midnight or Tuesday. The party rode baek In haste, and arrived at Garrett’s between one and two o’clock. Notwithstanding the lateness of tbe hour, they found Garrett walking upon the porch. They Interrogated him, 1 but he dented any knowledge of suoh men as they were looking. He was told that if he did not tell where 'the brimlnaU were tseeretod he would betahot at THE PRESS-PHTLAHELP orce. Gilfett’s sqnhearing this, rushed ont of the bbuse and informed them that Booth and Harrold were in the barn, a. abort distance (say quarter of a mile) from the dwelling. The bam was smygunded, and Lieut. Balter and Col.. Codger approached the door. BaJar, rapped upon it. Booth demanded, “ "Who are your-frieoda or foes 1 Are you Confederates 1” And he added, “ i have got five men in here well armed, and oan protect maeelt.” Balter replied, “Wa have arty men, and they snr roundtho bam. It Is useless for you to resist, so you may as well surrender,(and give Up your arms.” . Booth. Give me a ebanoefor my life, I am a cripple, one leg is lame. Withdraw your men fifty ora hundrod yards,and I’ll oome out and fight you.. . ' Conger. We don’t cqme but to tat* you a prisoner. » Booth. Let me have time to consider. Whereupon Booth and Barrold talked together. The barn was somewhat open, there being cracks or openlngsof about an' Inch wide between the weather boards and planks, and pm of what was said inside could be heard by the party outside. Bloth ooald, by the starlight outside, see his opponents, .whilst they could not see him. Booth remarked: “ I could have picked off half a dozen of you, long slnoe, but I don’t want to kill anybody. Who are you t Baker. Ton must surrender. Booth. I’ll never he taken aUve, Baker. If you don’t surrender we will fire'the bam. Booth. Well, brave boys, prepare a stretcher forme. In this kind of parleying more than an hAur if as consumed, during which Booth was charging Har rold with cowardice. Booth. There’s one man here, a coward, who wants to come out. Harrold came to the door and said " Let me ont.” He was asked to give up his arms. He said he had none, and Booth aonfirmed It, saying, “Ha has no arms; they are mine, upon the honor of a gentle man.” • Harrold reaohed out his hands and lie was se cured. In the meantime Conger had gathered Borne brush and placed It against the bam, and pulled out some hay from an opening In the barn, thife connecting the hay with the brush, which he sst fire to, and instantly the flames oommunicated with the hay Inside. This lighted up the Inside of the. barn so that Booth’s movements oould beSSSfI. Assoon as-he saw the flames rlslng instde the’ bard he rushed to them and attempted to pat them oat. jjlscoverlng dlreotly that It was fruitless to attempt to extinguish the fire, be ran baok to the middle of the barn-ftqor,oarbine in hand, and there stood ap parently ptlßderfng and bewildered. He had not, remained In thls posltlon more than fifteen seconds when a shot was fired. Baker exclaimed, “He’s shot himself,” and opened tire door and rushed in, oatehing Booth round the arms and breast. Booth Immediately sank down paralyzed. Conger and 1 others had followed Baker, and Corbett Immediately .exclaimed, 11 1 shot Mm.” * Booth’s head wag examined, and the wound dis covered ; waterAent for, wound bathed, eto.; In the'meantimo the dying man was lying upon the ground, his head resting upon the arms of Baker. Booth survived, and swooned, alternately. At one time he seemed to ha straggling with his hands, as if to raise them. In this he wasjasslsted, and when. his eyes rested upon his hands, he said, faintly and Incoherently, “Useless—useless—blood—blood,” and again swooned. At another moment of conscious ness, be Bald, “ Tell mother I die for my country at another time, “I did what I thought was for the best.” The wretched-assassin was shot at 3.15 and died at 7.10 on Wednesday morning. His body was placed in a cart, and, with Harrold, was conveyed to the steamer Ida (that vessel remaining in attend ance at Belle Plain), and brought to this city at ten minutes past 8 o’oiook'yesterday. , The circumstances that transpired afterwards have already been published.

SECQH3> DBBPATHe Cairo, April 28,— The steamer Sultana, from New Orleans on the evening of the 21st instant, ar rived at Vicksburg with her boilers leaking badly. She remained 'there thirty hours repairing, and took 0n'1,995, Federal soldiers and 35 offiaers lately released from Catawba and AndersanvlUe prisons.

Richmond, April 26,1865, THE RECEPTION 6S EBB. In justice to the Union officers and soldiers in this city, candor demands that the lmpresßlon made by the despatch In the New York Herald, Prom this place, announcing the arrival of, Lee, which assert ed that they uncovered their heads in tokeii of re spect for him, be removed. Though present at the entry of this notorious rebel, I Baw none of the evi dences of respect spoken of by the Herald. AV¥ OTMTMBS T 0» GBNBBAX H&JiLBOE. The appointment of General Halleek to the com mand of this department has given rise to much speculation. . It will give, probably, great satis faction to the rebels, If he has. not changed since his notorious order NoA, in the West. THE NEGROES, AND REBELS IN AUTHORITY. There have been oertatn Indications here which have truly startled the negroes. It Is an unpleasant sight to see men who.were villainous In their senti ment a In behalf of .treason occupying positions under the Government, to whom the blacks must go who are In neeffof rations. In several Instances the white traitor has turned away the black patriot with brutal remarks,-secretly glad of the op port le nity to inflict upon the friends of the Union so grievous a wrong; while those of similar infamy have been oheerlhliy supplied with every raetllty to receive the charity of the Government. It has been Intimated that these rebels, through their friends who occupy certain positions, have imposed upon ihe magnanimity of the authorities, and reeelved assistance when not entitled to it. This state of affairs, coupled wlth the arrival of General Halleek, has caused a good deal of nervousness amoigjdioso who‘are ndj satisfied that his feelings' have tinder-’ gone a radical ehange In reference to the loyal blacks,' . 0877 DAVIB. . Jeff Davis begins to realize that the way of,the transgressor is hard. His departure from tMs city, though suddenly, and to some extent unexpected!*, undertaken, had been previously provided for In a manner wMoh evinces the consideration wMoh ho entertains forMmself. From a gentlemen who lef6 the city with Davis, to follow his fallen fortunes, It Is . now ascertained -that this arch traitor Is with Johnston’s army. Upon leaving here ho carried with Mm large sums of gold belonging to Individuals,and all 'the specie of the rebel Govern ment. Previous to the hasty exit ol Jeff, he had gathered here all the bullion of the Confederacy, to enter into competition with the speculators, and advance the value of the currency. The people had been threatened, to ease of refusal,,with hqavy taxes, to loan their gold to authorities, with the aid of wMchthey wen foolish' enough to believe that they could reduce the pries of gold. Without entering Into the financial failures of the Confederacy, It is only necessary to state' that tMs large amount of gold was carried away by Davis in Ms retreat from tMs city. My Informant says that Davis and Ms Immediate followers were hanging arouna the camps of the army to a very undignified manner. Spirits ware draßk freely to revive their drooping courage, and drunkenness was so general -among the party as to be disgusting. The gold carried off Is producing the most inharmonious resultg. They are all appro priating or stealing as much of this rebel plunder sb they oan get within their reach, and each one is embittered against the other for fear he Is getting most of the specie. Each one was watching the other,and all were trying to steal as much as possible. Wretchedness was depleted lnKvery-oountenancs, and utter demoriallzatlou was manifested by the chieftain and Ms dishonest followers to such an ex tent as to disgust my informant, who left them, and arrived hero day before yesterday. He says that Jeff Is In danger of being captured any day, and that he .Is sensible of the perils which environ Mm. It 1b more than probable that he manoeuvred the negotiations between Sherman and Johnston,which the Government rejected, with a view of securing tends for himself. My Informant Is positive to stating that Davis is with the army, and that all other reports are with a view of misleading the authorities. HBADQUARTBBS 07 BREVET GENERAL MUMFORD. Brevet Brigadier General Mumford, Commission er of Exchange, has Ms headquarters on Tenth street, to the Female Seminary. Staoe the rebel Government has become a mysterious and auto, definite. maoMne, of a somewhat transmlgratory character, with Judge Oold and Captain Hatch, the rebel Commissioners of Exchange, as prisoners ,to our possession, General Mumford Is unable to find any one to treat or negotiate with. Hatch was in the general’s quarters yesterday, but whether he will even exchange this scion of demoralized arts-, tocmey, under the cartel, is exceedingly doubtful. Ho comes within President Johnson’s classification of Intelligent and Influential disloyalists, upon whom is to be visited tte.penaUy commensurate with Ms offonca. A great many of the paekages sent from the North to fathers, brothers, and sons, languishing to Southern jails, were , detained here, and ware found upon our occupation of the city. J dge Onld has turned them over to Gen. Mumford, who Is reshlpptog those whose contents will admit of it, to those who forwarded them, while others an be ing turned over to the Christian and Sanitary Com. missions. THE TRIED DIVISIOK. The 8d Division, 21th Corps, which was tempora rily attached to the Army ol the Potomac, deserves its share of the laurels for capturing Lee and his army, arrived to the city yesterday, and e imped upon the outskirts. The austy and bronzed appear ance of the solders gave evidence of having passed through a severe campaign. They oame from Burkesville, and have been several days on the way.

Baltimore, April 28.—A well-known of Baltimore committed suicide last Monday, a short distance from this city, by shooting himself with a pistol. No cause could be assigned for the rash act, except that hehad recently seemed depressed and melan£cly. Subsequent events have Induced the suspicion that he was In some way implicated in the conspiracy, and last night the body was ex humed, embalmed, and sent to Washington by or ders from the Government. The affair oausea much speculation, »nd there are many reports to etronla- Uon, wMoh ft Is deemed imprudent to publish at present. i NORTH CAROLINA SURRENDER J O I'S STON HIS WHOLE ARMY- THE SAME TEEMS GRANTED HIM AB -TO LEE.

Progress of tbe Funeral Train, Westfield, N. Y,, April 28.—Tho remains of Abraham' Lincoln arrived this morning. The bells were tolled and minute guns fired. Cleveland, April 2S.—AU along the rente from Buffalo to this olty, which the train reashed this morning, the usual demonstrations or sorrow were witnessed. The remains were escorted by a large military and civic procession to a beautifully con structed temple prepared to reoelve them, and soon thereafter the face of the honored dead was shown to the thousands of spectators -who, in admirable, order, entered and retired from the enclosure. The entlre'populatlon of the olty Is abroad, aft seemingly impressed with the solemnity of the occa sion. Cleveland, April 28.—Everywhere, after leaving Buffalo, there were innumerable flags and mottoes. At Dunkirk the platform was elaborately decorated, with festoons of evergreen extended along the eaves of the building, interlaced with crape. Thirty-six young ladies, In White, with black scarfs, represent ing the States, were posted on the platform. The bells were tolled Mid minute-guns fired. ,At Westfield five ladles, including the wife or Col. Drake. Wiled at Cold Harbor, brought In a cross and wreath of flowers. On the former were the words “ Ours the cross—thine the crown.” All were affected to tears, and considered It a privilege to kiss the eeffin. - At Rip’.cv Gen. Dlx and staff took their leave. At the various _ places orowds were assembled, manifesting unabated interest. At Wiokliffe, Ohio, Governor Brough and staff came aboard, also General Hooker and staff, Sena tor Sherman, and many others of the committee to meet the remains. Cleveland was reaohed at 7in the, morning. All the places of business were closed to-day. All the flags were at half-mast; a salute of thirty-six guns fired, and half-hour guns till sunset. The coffin was then placed in a hearse, the roof of which was co vered with national flags and otherwise tastefully adorned. The military" escort embraced General Hooker and staff, Governor Brough and staff, and the civic escort; and was followed by the United States civil officers, veteran soldiers, olty councilman, Anights Templars, the Fenian Brotherhood, temperance so cieties, and citizens. • The sidewalk's were densely crowdqd, and the em blems of mourning were every where'promlnent, to gether with expressive mottoes. In the Park a building had been erected expressly for the recep tion of tho remains, to which they were conveyed. The roof was In the pagoda style; the catafalque consists of a raised dais, the coffin resting upon this, two feet above the floor; On the corners stand columns, supporting a oanopy; the columns were draped, and wreathed with evergreens' and white flowers, Black Moth, falling as onrtalas, fringed with silver, and looped back to these columns. The floor and sides of the dais' are covered with blaok cloth, Thejwfcole affair was very beautiful. The religious exercises performed by Bishop Mo. II vain e were intensely solemn, and moved many of the listeners to tears. The nnmber passing the re mains was at the rate cf 180 a minute. Two rows of spectators were constantly parting. The ooffin lid was freshly covered with flowers by the ladles re presenting the Soldiers’ Belief Association. The display at Chicago will be the largest ever ■known there. Forty-one organizations; numbering 25,00® men, have already reported bo the ehlef mar-' shah We leave Cleveland at midnight and will ar rive at Columbns In the morning. Everywhere deep sorrow has been mahlfsstcd, and the feeling seems to deepen as we move westward. Governor Brough has tendered the hospitalities of his resi dence to the funeral party. TBB OBSEQUIES AT SPRINGFIELD. Springfield, -.lft., April 28,—The time for the funeral of President Lincoln has been ohanged to May 4th. Publie Feeling Begardlng the Late As- sassl station. A poor woman, in New Haven, the wife of-a Union soldier, placed mourning upon her house, when she received the news of the assassination or onr good President. The landlord; a most rabid Copperhead, and rebel sympathizer, ordered her to take down “ those rags,” and vacate the premises, wMoh she was compelled to do. Is there no law to reach this heartless scoundrel 1 Something ought to he done whloh would give such people cause to remember that though President Linoolnls dead the Government still uves.- A peiv days since a German barker, in Loui siana, who speaks broken English; was understood to say sometMng disparaging of Mr. Lincoln, and was ordered to leave In so many hours. To help Ms movements ho was pelted with stones. A German Radical friend of the barber says he used no disre spectful language. Nevertheless, he is now to St. Louis. • A Baptist clergyman from Bantogham, Mass., preached to Mldlbrd last Sabbath morning. Neither m prayer nor sermon did ho recognize the great woe that was oppressing the heart of every hearer. The omisrion was so clearly Intentional that at the close of the first service a committee or the church waited upon the unfaithful preaoher and ordered film, to leave town Immediately, whloh he, of coarse, did. A poor old contraband woman stood at the ton gate leading to the White House, all the day of the funeral, waiting and hoping to get an opportunity to see the lace of the dead President, weeping like a broken-hearted mother. But she waited In vain, for, like hundreds and thousands of-others, she could not gain admittance. On being told that God would raise up another Moses for them, she replied, “AM but we had him.” In Sheldon, Vermont, last Sunday, the pastor naturally preached on the death of President Lin coln, and an aged Copperhead, after listening as long as he could to the scatbtog denunciation of traitors and assassins, got up anff left the ohuroh. Just as he got to the door the minister called out to him, “ Don’t stop, brother, till you get to Canada!” which wag responded to by a hearty amen tom the whole congregation. On one of the trains on the Pennsylvania Railroad oq Saturday, a person of strong secession proclivi ties spoke exoltlDgly of the President’s death. The train wae Immediately stopped, and the disloyal man ejected from the car. Had it not been for the fear of shooting ether persons he would have been shot on the spot by an indignant soldier. A merchant of Hagerstown was recently Maced in prison, at Ms request. His life had been threat esed by the infuriated people. He some time since Informed' one of his customers that one hundred thousand dollars wore being raised to secure the as sassination of Mr. Lincoln, and that the deed was to take place on the Ist of April. He has always been a rabid. Copperhead. The Episcopal congregation of Belvldere, ft. J., dtaShorged their pastor for refusing to pray for the family or President Lincoln. A young man .was soundly chastised in Pittsburg last week for his gratification at the Pre sident’s assassination. Two mbs have been shot dead in St, Leals for exulting oyer the assassination of Mr. Lincoln. This Family oi thb Prhsbxt Presidbnt.— President Johnson’s daughter, Mrs, Stover, who Is to preside over the affairs at the White House, to consequence of the 111 he.

He writes calmly and dispassionately, and justifies Washington by a comparison with tho loyalty of the commercial capitals of the worth, as Is natural in'one who takes his view from a retired and secluded place, distant from the scenes of tur moil whioh he describes. His letter Is dated ,at Sheffield, in the extreme western part- of Massa ehusetts, far removed from the excitement of clues end politics. We give his oloslng paragraphs : Washington has come very far short of being what the capital elight to have been duringthe war. It ought “to have been the very heart and fountain of loyalty and patriotism; whereas it has been a neet of men too cowardly to fight for the rebellion, ret ready to aid It In every secret way that passion and ingenuity could suggest; and of women too fond of comfort and ease to go South, yet ready to betrav every courtesy of social life in the endeavor to be of service to the rebels. lam nor sure, how ever, that New York, or Boston, or any otter city, tew the right to cast a stone at Washington. Hero, In the Shadow of the Green Mountains,. In stout and pa triotic old Berkshire, in one of the best sectionstor Mr.Dawe’s district, they pointed out to me this morning a man who said, whemtoW of ™ SSfSiill assassination, “well, he ought tohave beenjtlUod ‘ lour years ago!” Any man making that remark In Washington In the presence of two or three man. any time within three days after that event, woulc. at least have been Instantly knocked down—very likely have been severely beaten: Yet he was not harmed here in Massachusetts. I notioe that even In Boston the people oslled on men to speak at the great funeral meetings who have been notoriously aiding the rebels for four years with tongue and pen. In Washington, a great public meeting was celled because fn a list of one hundred marshall hurriedly selected for the funeral procession there were found the nameß of half a dozen such men; and public indignation was only appeased by the resig nation of the offending assistant marshal who male out the list, and a public apology ftom the chief marshal himself. It was easy enough In any northern city, at any time since the war began, to be heartily loyal; In Weshlrgton the old social Influence was at first wholly on the side of the rebellion. The type of loyalty in Boston was, perhaps, nobler than that of Washington, but the circumstances by which It was Surrounded were far more favorable. A year ago I found a good many men hereabouts who sympa thized more or less with the rebellion, but of late there are nose bnc Union men here. What is true of Massachusetts is also true of Washington. A week ago it was almost impossible to find either man or woman there who owned to erer having had any sympathy with the rebels. Human naturo Is human nature the world oyer; and the feeling that should be uppermost in she na tion Is not that of condemnation for Washington. It might have stood up with cleaner hands and bolder front; but so might Philadelphia and Hew York (and Boston — Ed. Press.) A good many se cret rebels have been kept in the service of Govern ment from the beginning; bat a good many avowed sympathisers with rebels have bad work aadlivlng all through the North at the hands of men whose loyalty was matter of boasting. Washington in vites Northern capital and thrift and edergy. It will! not} cost much hereafter to be on the side of the Government there. The wanton and foolish - and short-sighted deed of Booth and his associates finished the rebellion there, and among those most azofious to testify to loyalty by going reverently to the bier of Mr. Lincoln were, hundreds who never drew even a semi-loyal breath tUI since the spring campaign opened. Such loyalty lsof course utterly contemptible, and Its eleventh-hour ardor Is an Insult to every honarable soul; but it is no more despicable in the District of Columbia than in toe State nf Massachusetts,, ana I see its signs here as surely as 1 did. there.

Bostoh Cokbjstt, Pebbujkht Lincomt’s Aven o*b.—The New York Tribune, of yesterday, says that Boston Corbett, the man who shot Booth, is an Englishman, about 26 years of age, and sergeant in Company L, of the 16th New York Cavalry. He went out at the commencement of the war as a private of the 12 th New York State Militia, Col. But terfield, and has been in aotive service ever since. About eight months ago he was oaptured by the rebel guerilla Mcsby while out on a 'scouting expe dition, all his party having either been killed or escaped,- He held the entire rebel gang, about2S in number, at bay for some time, and only surrendered when his ammunition was, exhausted. For his bravery in this affair he was promoted to be ser* geant, but only returned to the Union lines to assume the title after a five months’ imprisonment at AndersoßVflle,. While there he frequently held prayer meetings, and exhorted his, dying com ■panlons, being an aotive member of the Attorney street P. M. Church of New York city. He only lately rqjolned bis regiment, and had scarcely to covered from a chronic diarrhoea and seurvy con tracted at the South, when he was appointed one of 28 tried men to perform the duty he so successfully accomplished.
