We leave the straight path of duty to notice
the assaults of political or personal adver

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 "'

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.

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.

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.

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.

Brevet Brigadier General Mumford, Commission

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

A great many of the paekages sent from the

Cleveland, April 2S.—AU along the rente from
Buffalo to this olty, which the train reashed this

,At Westfield five ladles, including the wife or

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

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

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

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

take down “ those rags,” and vacate the premises,

A Baptist clergyman from Bantogham, Mass.,

that was oppressing the heart of every hearer. The

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

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.

Under the above title the regular Washington

' view of the sentiment* <« >» enletea among
the various claesea at the capital during the rebel.
Hon. 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

likely have been severely beaten: Yet he was not

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

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.

Reported Rebel Invasion or KisaonrL.
• St. Lome, April 28.—Reports prevail that a force
of 6,000 to 12,000 rebels, comprising the remnants of
of Jeff Thompson’s and Joe Shelby’s brigades, are
at Pocahontas, Ark., preparing to invade Missouri.
Large numbers of people an leaving the southwest
part of the State In consequence. Three regiments
have been sent down the riyer. The reports are
undoubtedly exaggerated.
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. His face is intelligent, and bears the
Impress of a blgh-tonedOiirlsMan patriotism.

will bo remembered that Gurney, the New
York photographer, received permission from the
city Councils to take photographs of the dead Pre
sident as he lay to state beneath the rotunda to the
city Hall. He took several pictures—nine we be
lieve—and no doubt imagined aprospectlve small
fortune from their sale. But his fellow- artists to
Now York dissipated his dream, through their pro
fessional jealousy. They telegraphed to the Secris
tary of War, complaining of the matter, and he
heard their oomplalnt. All the plates were seised
yesterday, and are now to custody of the authoS
tles. Gurney Is doing all he can to recover hla pic
