The Re-establishment of Order.
The surrender of Johnston’s army, fol
lowing close upon the surrender of the
forces of Lee, has beeii caused by the
overwhelming superiority of our armies,
and the exhaustion of the resources of the
rebellion. The Confederacy dies, but be
cause its leaders were too weak to preserve
its existence, and we were strong enough
to kill it. France, after Waterloo had ter
minated twenty years of almost continuous
warfare, was not more completely bereft
of her lighting population than the disloyal
States are of “ white men capable of
bearing arms ” at this moment. The
haughty assailants of the Republic are now
humble recipients of its mercy, and they
are virtually a conquered and subjugated
people.
But although the surrender of the op
posing armies was prompted by no re
awakened affection for the Union, the train
'of circumstances which induced it will
secure a lasting respect for the power of
the Federal Government. We trust it will
prove an easier task to re-establish order
than has been generally supposed. Of
course, it will be impossible to maintain an
organized rebel army in the field, unless,
indeed, a desperate attempt should be made
to hold together for a time the troops who
are stationed in Texas. But they will be
unable to make a protracted resistance to
the immense pressure that can easily be
brought to bear against them. The soldiers
recently paroled are heartily tired of fight
ing against the Union, and there are few
or none left at their homes to renew a hope
less contest. Guerilla warfare will be con
demned by all who have the slightest re
gard for law and order, irrespective of
former opinions, and any miscreants who
attempt it will have no belligerent rights to
save them from the gallows.
The general functions of the Federal Go
vernment can easily be* resumed. We
have captured and now hold the forts
seized at the commencement of the war.
In the ports of the South we can either col
lect duties unmolested or prohibit foreign
commerce at our pleasure. As to the post
office routes, their re-establishment is rather
a boon to be granted than a Federal right
that we need to be anxious to exercise.
'They can be reserved as a reward for good
behavior, for the citizens of the disloyal
States will reap the principal share of their
benefits. The Federal Courts can be con
vened in cities under our absolute control,
and they can easily be aided by whatever
military force is necessary to enforce their
decisions. For the collection of internal
revenue a very summary system can be
adopted.
More difficulty is to be apprehended in
the practical enforcement of the Emanci
pation Proclamation than in the discharge
of any other duty of the Federal Govern
ment; for at points beyond our lines,
during the continuance of the war, - the
slaves have'been kept in a state of subjec-<
tion. A few significant examples, in deal
ing with prominent upholders of slavery,
however, may have a very wholesome
effect. Every rational man must see that
that infamous institution is doomed.
Even Breckinridge is reported to have
recently stated that the proposed Consti
tutional amendment was perfectly fair,
and that it would effectually dispose of
the whole subject; while Davis is alleged
to have said, several years ago, that
“ slavery has outlived its usefulness.”
If it was formerly to protect the
“ peculiar institution,” on account of the
of the North to the rendition of
the few fugitives who escaped, what will
it become with the wide extension of the
borders of freedom, and with the remain
ing slaves instructed and encouraged by
the events of the war, and aware that the
power which has crushed their masters is
ready and anxious to secure their de
liverance? Any attempt to perpetuate
human bondage under such circumstances
can only lead to innumerable escapes, or
to terrible insurrections.
Political Soothsaying.
The assertion of the London Timet, after
the fall of Bichmond, the flight of Davis,
and the surrender of Lee, that “the real
troubles of the North are but just begin
ning,” shows -with -what difficulty the
anti-American politicians on the other
side of the Atlantic accept the de
feat of the rebels and the ruin of the
“ so-called Southern Confederation.” No
matter what may happen here, they
continue to maintain, and may even par
tially believe, that all is for the best, and
that defeat is but a particular phase of suc
cess. And this, because
* ‘ Faith, fanatic faith, once waddled fast
To ona dear falsehood, hags it to the last ' *
As for the “real,troubles” so gravely
predicted for us, we can meet, “ and, by op
posing, end them,” whenever, if ever, they
arrive. But the dark prophecy may not be
more true than the conviction in the mind
of one Mrs. Sandiman, in a Scottish ham
let, a century ago. Mother of one son, she
had a sort of gloomy and apprehensive
satisfaction in predicting that each succes
sive attack of the illnesses to which children
are liable mußt certainly destroy him. After
the boy had the measles, she predicted that
the whooping cough would doubtless prove
fatal, and so on, the child passing safely
through every illness, and finally attaining
a vigorous manhood, when he became
engaged to an amiable lady of beauty,
accomplishments, and fortune. His
anxious mother, when congratulated on
her son’s approaching happiness, shook her
head and said, “It is quite true that my
Sandy has miraculously survived "every
ailment of infancy and youth, but, bless
your heart, his real trouble* me only just
beginning— for he is going to be married.”
We suspect that The Times must have heard
of the auld Scotch mother, for it quotes her
very words about her son’s Union and ap
plies them to ours.
It is but fair to add that, after much
hesitation, The Times acknowledges that
the game of the South is played out, and
advises'lts quondam friends to surrender,
on whatever terms the Union will give
them.
The Shadow on the Wall.
In the Parisian Journal Bes Debats, of
the 14th ultimo, there are some interesting
speculative opinions respecting the event
of the French occupation of Mexico, and
its results when the unity of the United
States is again restored. With a specieß of
prevision that the rebellion of tbe Southern
"States is drawing to a close, it looks on the
attitude of France with regard to the
avowed policy of this country in a doubt
whitfli Is somewhat akin to fear. After
giving the reasons which are immediately
opposed to the withdrawal of the French
troops, it continues thus: “If we are still
in Mexico when peace is re-established
between the North and South of the
grpat American republic, may we not
fe&r that we shall find ourselves draw*
into a conflict with the United States?
The Minister of State and M. Cobta cer
tainly assert that this danger is purely ima
ginary ; but that • assurance, which we
should be glad to see confirmed by events,
can only shave for the present the very
limited value of a personal opinion.”
The Opinion Nationale takes almost the
same view, and settles the question mooted
-by Mr. Cobta, of the Army of the United
States being a mercenary one, by the fol
lowing briefly honorable statement: “ Offi
cial figures enable ns to affirm that the
army in question consists of seventy-six
per Cent, of native Americans, nineteen
per ‘dent, of nationalized strangers, and
hardly tve per cent of real foreigners.’’
From itfese significant hints of the di
rection taken by public opinion in Paris,
Which really represents the political in
telligence of ’France, it is obvious that
the French mind regards the occupa
tion of Mexico very dubiously. These
articles appeared on April 14, when the
intelligence of the Fall of Richmond had
not yet reached the European capitals.
It has reached them now, and although aB
yet the effect of this news upon the mind
of the French Emperor is unknown, we
should desire his attention to be given to
that - shadow upon the wall which is daily
growing into the bolder said more ominous
,relief indicative of our’ future destiny,
not only upon this continent, but with re
gard also to the more exclusively European
politics of the various Govemments'on the
‘further side of the Atlantic.
Imperious Authorship.
When a Monarch writes a book, he cer
tainly ought to understand that its publica
tien places him upon a level with other
authors, whose works aTe liable to jour
nalistic criticism. With the sceptre in his
hand, he may be, and is, a power—where
he reigns. By the act of publication,
which throws Ms book before the world,
to purchase or neglect it, to like or dislike
it, to praise or censure it, he descends from
his vantage-ground, enters the arena like
any other writer, casts aside the purple and
the diadem,-and substitutes the pen for the
sceptre. He cannot complain, more than
any other author, if the critics should find
faults in what he places before them. The
use of honest criticism is tMs—there
are numerous readers, more or less
well-informed, who purchase books
for the entertainment or instruction of
themselves, and, it may be, their families
and friends. These book-readers, for the
most part, will purchase, without hesita
tion, a new work by any author of estab
lished reputation. Perhaps nearly a moie
ty of them are compelled, by pecuniary
considerations, (especially since books are
nearly double the price they were four
years ago,) to make a selection. They
consult the critical opinion delivered, un
der editorial .responsibility, in' a public
journal of established character, and rely
upon it, when experience has tested its
honesty. They argue, “here is an opinion
of a new hook, written by a man whose
business always has been to read new
books with a view to criticising them,"
and they purchase or not, on that opinion.
If the critic, from any cause, has praised a
book whiehhe ought not have commended,
the reader soon perceives it, and on two or
three repetitions of this mock-criticism,
which really is unprofitable puffing, ceases
to have reliance on such blind guides, and
usually lets the newspaper know it.
Therefore, .it is the interest of the book
critic to and faithful. .
Napoleon, third Emperor of that name,
being a great publicist, was liable to the
suspicion of having written the life of Ju
lius C-ffiSAn, not entirely to instruct the
world about the great man who founded
the Roman Empire, but also to incline the
readers of that work to draw parallels be
tween the first Napoleon and Cassab and
between the reigning Napoleon and the
great Augustus (“ who found Rome brick
and left it marble,”) and, by a remarkable
coincidence, also was the nephew of his
uncle. There being a political purpose !
in the book, it is clear that a political wri- j
ter had a right to notice it, as such. Ac
cordingly M. Rqgeabd, a French writer,
produced a brochure, entitled “ Les Propos
de Labienus,” professing to be a conver
sation between two Romans, Gallienus
and Labienus on the memoirs of Augus
tus, supposed to have just appeared. The
cloak under wMch Napoleon’s personality
was veiled was so thin that every one re
cognized the satirist’s drift. ; We have ex
amined a copy of the work, in French, and ‘
can only say that M. Rogbabd did not limit
himself to satire, hut implied that Caisak’s
biographer had committed nearly every
crime in the decalogue. Simple abuse-like
this cannot affect a writer—its anim.uk neu
tralizes its poison. Contempt and silence
would have been its beßt reply.
Napoleon, however, could 'not forget
the emperor in the author, and issued
orders that all copies of the hostile brochure
should be seized, and that author and pub
lisher Bhould be arrested. The author fled
to Brussels, where he 1b personally safe,'
His publisher was less fortunate. The
absent author was sentenced to five years’
imprisonment' and a fine of 500 francs.
The present publisher, under “ extenuating
circumstances ” of pretending that he had
notread what he had put into type, was
sentenced to a month’s imprisonment and
510 francs fine.
Granting that what M. Rogbabd wrote
was coarse and severe, Napoleon’s policy,
jts author , surely was to leave it unnoticed.
The persecution of the pamphlet and the
prosecution of the satirist have had only
the effect of drawing attention to it. Some of
- the London newspapers have translated and
published it in full, thereby giving it a cir-_
dilation which it could not otherwise have
obtained, and even a New York publisher
has brought out “ Labienua” in the origi
nal, a copy of which Mr. Fbnington, of
Seventh street, has sent us. It is saucy and
shrewd —insolent even—hut miserably abu
sive, and therefore, if let alone, very harm
less. ’ -
The affair convinces us that Napoleon,
tjaough be has published many books (he
said that he spent six years in gra
duating in the University of Ham), is
considerably more Autocrat than Author.
He dops not accept criticism kindly—the
lion’s paw coming strongly down in
anger, no matter how mildly the royal
animal may bear himself. On this account,
we of the pen do not care to admit frater
nity with him of the sceptre.
AH “OCCASIONAL” HO BE WIIH GRANT,
Washington, April 80, 1865.
The public man most talked about, and
whose face" and form the people of our
coqptry are most anxious to see, is unques
tionably General Grant. He has been so
retiring and so reticent that he has never
yet made a speech a sentence in length,
and has only shown himself in society
when duty or stern custom required it.
He does not seem to have any of the tastes
for parades, or- reviews, or uniforms, of
many of our commanders, and among
them some of the bravest and best. Thus,
when his terms had been accepted, a
private and straightforward talk with Lee,
and after a hurried ratification of it before
the assembled'armies, he left the rest of the
formula to his officers; and instead of going
to Bichmond, the great prize so long and
so bravely fought for, Hb turned his horse
towards City Point, took . the boat for
Washington, reported quietly to the Presi
dent, and then passed to the cars on his
way to see his family at Burlington, New
Jersey, having heard the news of Mr.
Lincoln’s murder on the boat from Phila
delphia t<f Camden. It is more than proba
ble that it was his natural aversion to the
demonstrations of greats crowds, and his
strong domestic habits, which saved him
from the fate of our beloved President,
I was amoffg thoße who ■ witnessed the
solemn ceremony in the East Room of the
Presidential Mansion, on Wednesday, the
19th of April, in the presence of the Sena
tors and Representatives of the United
States, the Supreme Court, the foreign
legations, the Cabinet, arid other heads of
departments, and the chiefs of the army
and the navy then in Washington. I noted
the entrance of General Grant. Even in
the sombre chamber, while every heart was
filled with unutterable woe, and the sobs
of the mourners could be distinctly heard,
there was an eagerness to see and to study’
the features of the great soldier who had
conquered the most extended and tragic
conspiracy In human annals. He took his
place with almost painful modesty, seem
ing, as it/were, to shrink from observation,
and although many advanced to gaze upon
the lineaments lately so bright with bene
volence and hope, then cold and stiff in
death, General Grant was not of the num
ber. He had doubtless previously taken
hisjast farewell. When General Sherman
entered into his unfortunate negotiation
. with Joe Johnston, the Lieutenant General
himself carried the order countermanding
it. Instead of making elaborate prepara
tions, I quote the words of one who saw
him take Ms leave: “He had with Mm
only Ms small carpet hag and a full cigar
case.” Yesterday morning Gen. Grant re
turned from Raleigh and laid the result of
his conference before the President. As I
had never had the honor of a formal intro
duction to or conversation with General
Grant, I embraced the opportunity of being
presented to him last evening, in company
with two gentlemen, one of them Ms inti
mate friend. He waß hot in his room
when we arrived, so we waited till ’he
came in from the War Department. I
confess, when the door softly opened, and
a gentleman about the size of. Gover
nor Andrew, of Massachusetts, first quiet
ly looked in, and then as quietly en
tered, smoking the stump of a cigar, I
was a good deal surprised. We were ac
cordingly introduced. Putting his hand'
into Ms side pocket he drew thence a paper
of regalias, lighted a fresh one himself, at
the same time offering them to Ms guests.
And this was the Lieutenant General of the
irresistible army of the United States I TMs
was the man whose acMevements as well in
capturing Richmond as in the closing scene
with Lee are now discussed at every Ameri
can fireside, and by all the military , critics
in the civilized world! But for the three
stars on Ms shoulders he never would be
taken for what he is by a stranger. In
deed, in citizen’s dress, he would look
-more like a respectable Pennsylvania
farmer than a thorough-bred military
man. There is such an utter absence of
the characteristics of the Martinet that it
was difficult to realize that we stood in the
presence of the-first soldier in the world.
Gen. Grant reached his forty-third year on
Friday, from j which you may have an
idea that he is very young-looking/ as in
deed he is. There was no', care on Ms
brows, no hesitation in ' Ms speech,
and not the slightest disposition to con
ceal his thoughts or Ms opinions. In
this I was as much surprised as in the
singular simplicity of his bearing. That
he was a gentleman you perceived at once.
He does not talk like a New Englander, or
a Southerner, but reminded me of a Scotch-
Irish Western Pennsylvanian. I could
easily understand, however, in Ms looks,
and in every word he spoke, that I
was gazing upon and listening to the
happiest man in America. He felt
(none more so) the great loss sustained by
our country and by mankind, but there was
in Ms whole deportment a consciousness
that the rebellion was crushed, that an
honorable peace was at hand, and that our
illustrious President had been succeeded by
one eminently fitted to finish the good work.
He paid the Mghest tribute to Gen. Sherman’s
patriotism, complimented him for Ms aston
ishing march from Savannah.to Goldsboro,
and stated that he had himself
selected Mm for that undertaking on ac
count of his rare capacities. He also spoke
of the prompt manner in which the orders
countermanding the negotiations with Joe
Johnston had been executed by General
Sherman 'and his corps commanders.
When he referred to the condition of the
Southern people it was as one who talked
_of an unfortunate, a desolated race. Two
armies had fought, advanced, and retreated,
again and again, over the best portion of
their soil, and bad left despair, and misery,
and, almost starvation, before, beMnd,
and around them. Although he carefally
avoided the slightest reference-to politics,
or to the numerous suggestions in connec
tion with what is called reconstruction
or reorganization, and confined Mmself
strictly to military ‘topics; he more
than bnce revealed, that he would treat
the masses of the South with kindness
and humanity, especially in view of the
fact that they had been forced to obey their
own desperatejeaders. In referring to the
surrender of General Lee, of whom, by the
way, he spoke highly (as he did of Joe
Johnston), he said that his army (Lee’s)
had. been dreadfully reduced in the retreat.
That rebel chief was touched by the
liberal terms conceded to Mm by the Lieu
tenant General, and when he intimated to
Grant that he trusted every effort would ’
be made to conclude the arrangements, so
that his soldiers might immediately be pa
roled and sent to their homes, he added
that they were in a pitiable condition, not
having had the most ordinary rations for two
days. It was then-that General Grant di
rected his commissaries'to issue to the sur .
rendered forces rations for nearly twenty
six thousand men. I mention this circum
stance in refutation of a charge that Gene
ral Lee had demanded rations, when the
fact is that Grant tendered them, as I have
stated. Of one thing this interview im
pressed my friend and myself: the great
plans which have excited so much admira
tion, and have been so unflinchingly ad
hered to, in the midst of ridicule, calumny,
and disaster, until victory sealed and con
firmed them, havebeentheplans of General
Grant himself. Occasional. ’
Death oy Mb. S. Lucas.— We learn by our last
advices from England of the death of Mr. Samuel
Lucas, for many years the principal Editor of the
Morning Star, and one of the best friends of our Go
vemmont In the whole range of English journal-
Ism. In his own country he was a strenuous and
consistent Liberal. With his Editorship the paper
he conducted has always been oonsplonouß for Its
freedom of opinion, and has distinguished Itself by
Its strong and Influential advocacy of the oause of
our Union. He upheld this oountry when Its advo
cates In England were but few, and constantly laid
before the English public facts and arguments
which were permitted to appear In no other leading
journal In London with the solitary exception of
the Daily News, He was Intimately connected with
all tbe leading Liberal Statesmen, and more espe
cially with Mr. Bright, to whom ho was related by
marriage. Immediately following the death of Mr.
Cobden, as his does—though a much younger man,
being no more than fifty-four years of age—it will
be felt as a heavy loss by the whole of his now pow
erful party in English Politics.
Mown a Day in Nmv Yobk,—Yesterday was
the great day for peripatetic housekeepers In New
York. Despatches say that Sunday was by no
means the day it usually Is, even In boisterous and
business-doing New York, All the principal
streets were filled with the teams of “baggage
smashers,” hundreds of them moving In oppo
site directions, and conveying the household,
goods and treasures of as many families-
We may judge of the great migrations of for
mer days, when we are told that In proportion to
the extent of population, there Is less “moving”
than formerly. In the old times when new houses
With “modem conveniences” were In oourae of
erection, people who lived In dilapidated, old
fashioned houses changed them quarterly, but
this inducement exists no longer. The
of' rents paid this year, over those
paid last year, Is about twenty-five to two or
three hundred per cent., but the average,does not
probably exceed fifty to seventy-five per cent. The
rise has been far greater than the advance In the
.value of property, owing, of course, to the faot that
there Is asoarclty of houses, which, it Is expected,
will be temporary.
THB DxSTBtrOTIOH 09 VMS NEGATIVES TAKBN
nr New Yobk pkom tbe late Fbbsidekt.—Two
or throe days since Major General Peck, In oom
maud of the Department of the East, received a
peremptory order from Secretary Stanton to' destroy
the negation and photographs of the deceased Pro.
sldent, which had been made In New York. CJaptaln
Rives, of General Dix’s staff, executed the order In
part by seising them. Before they could be
destroyed Mr. Gurney, who had taken them,
waited on General Peck, and asked to have the
negatives preserved until he could appeal to Secre
tary Stanton, as ha believed the order had been
issued at tbe solicitation of rival artists. Much time
and labor, he said, had been expended to taking
the negatives, and it is highly desirable that they
should ho preserved.
General Pepk acceded to the request, to await
further inttructlons from Secretary Stanton, in the
meantime retaining possession of the pictures. This
morning a telegram woe received from Secretary Stan
ton, by General Peck, directing the destruction of the
negatives and the pictures,
Mr. Stanton says Mrs. Lincoln and the other
members of the family deslie that this may be
done; and he adds, that permission should never have
been given the artists to take the pictures. It was done
by leave of the Committee of the Common Council,
It Is understood that the objection of the family
and of the authorities to the publishing of the Pho
tographs arose mainly from the fact that the features
of the corpse were shrunken, and had assumed a
most unnatural expression. In thlß commotion,
however, it Is proper to say that It was Mr. Gur
ney’s Intention to give the pictures an appearance
as nearly as possible like that of portraits taken
from life.- -
It is officially stated that the question of rivalry
raised by somephotographers of the olty was not
considered In Washington.—New York Evening Post.

Thb Rbbbl Bam Stonbwail.—There .appears
to be considerable exoltement In New York about
the probable arrival of the .rebel Iron-olad Stone,
wall. On March the 25th, when she steamed from
Lisbon, tbe twenty-fqur-hour rule debarred the Ni
agara and Sacramento from following her. She
was consequently able to get away a distanoe whiofi
rendered pursuit useless, and as she has been heard
from at Tenerlffe on April Ist, it Is more than pro
bable that she Is now close upon our coast.
Wb sever are personal, and we don’t like to be,
and we don’t want to speak disrespectfully of any
body, but when we remembered that the rebellion,
in Its first fullness, counted wltbin Its limits just
eleven of onr thirty-three states, our memory flew
back to a much-admired portion of a much-admired
poem. We opened Milton, and we found the guar
dian of - the gates of Hell thus addressing Satan, as
he wishes to escape its oonfines In order to sow
sorrow and death to the happy anion then existing
In Eden: - '
“ Art thou that traitor angel, art thou he
Who first broke peace In heaven, and faith, till

THB SUNKEN RAM ALBBHARLB RAISED—TRADE AT
NORFOLK AND OTHER 011118,
Foktresb Monroe, April so.—The rebel ram
Albemarle, which was sunk by Lieut. Gushing,
a few months ago, was raised by some contractors,
andreached the navy yard at Gosport, a few. days
ago, via the Chesapeake and Albemarle Canal.
The skill of Northern meohanlos succeeded to
raising the sunken vessel. The cost was about
$20,000. Her machinery was to excellent order,
and the hull sustained but very little damage by
the explosion of the torpedo.
It is the Intention to pnt her to sea-going order at
the navy yard, when she will be sent to New York,
and be completely fitted out as a flrst-olass lrou
olad.
-An order recently issued by General Gordon,
commanding the District of Eastern Virginia, pro
hibits officers, soldiers, and employees from receiv
ing or hearing any application or bnstness from any
citizen, unless the person produces proof of having
taken an oath of allegiance to the Government of
the United States since January Ist, 186$.
It la expected that to a few days all military re>
strlctlons upon trade to the Department of East
Virginia will be revoked, and business, to oonss-'
queues, may receive an Inspiriting Impetus from
the hands of the tradesmen and merchants in Nor
folk and Portsmouth, who for a long time past have
been obliged to remain dormant to view of the
emergency of the times. -
There is no doubt that when, to the eourse of
time, these restrictions are removed, the city ,of
Norfolk will again resume her position to the rank
of a commercial city, and, by the capital and energy
of Northern merchants who may settle there to.
business, will to a few years ruouperate from the
stagnated state Into which the rebellion has thrown
all conditions of her society.

. Richmond, April 30,1866.
Another week of loyal administration has ended,
ana Sunday, with all of its revered impressions,
has dawned upon a redeemed city.
At a meeting of the oolored people of Blohmond,
assembled to the Third-street M. E. Church, Than,
day, April 18,1865, to rejoice over our deliverance
from bondage, and the triumph of freedom to our
land, Mr. Fields Cooke wad. catted to the chair, and
Mr. Fetor Wooifolke wbb appointed secretary.
The meeting was opened with appropriate religi
ous exercises by Bishop Brooks, of Philadelphia.
Mr. George L. Ruffin, of Boston, one of the
speakers for the occasion, then addressed the meet
togt He thought that, to view of the great calami
ty which had befallen the nation to the death of
PresMent Linooln, he knewho.exprossejl„thePeel.
togs of the audience when he said thedharaoter of
the meeting should be changed to one of condolence
and sympathy. Abraham Lincoln’s' name, no mat
ter what might be said by excited partisans, would
go down to posterity as one of, the wisest rulers and
most sagqolons statesmen that this or any other age
had produced. Mr.. Ruffin thought It peculiarly
fortunate that he (the late President) had been se
lected to carry this country through this ordeal of
fire and blood 9 and now, as peace Is about dawning
on our tom and distracted country, the Chief Magis
trate of the United States, the great Emanolpator,
is stricken down by the hand of an asßassln-
Brotheiß, mourn I sisters, weep! for our best lriend
has passed away.
A committee was appointed to jjiepare suitable
resolutions. They retired, and, returning, presented
the following:
Resolved, That in the assassination of Abraham
Lincoln, President of the United States, we have
lost onr host friend and. warmest advocate—that
the dastardly act of the murderer fills us with In
expressible horror and Indignation, and that we oan
give no utterance to the feelings of sorrow and sad
ness which fills our hearts at tills present moment.
And further. That this meeting here convened In
tbe bouse of God, sends forth to the family of our
beloved President (now deceased) our heartfelt con
dolence and sympathy in this the hour of their deep
affliction. • ■
The Bishop made an eloquent and appropriate
speech to support of the resolutions, followed by Mr.
F. N. Judah, O. M. Steward, and others. The re
solutions wore adopted.by .a unanimous vote, and a
motion was made and carried that the proceedings
of the meettog be sent to the Richmond Whig, the
Philadelphia Recorder, and the Anglo-African, with
a request tb publish the same. The doxology.was
then snng and the meeting adjourned.-
The editor of the Richmond Whig, on receiving
the above report, submitted It to General Ord, who
returned It with the fallowing endorsement:
“ The mayor, the Common Oounoll of Richmond,
and a number of citizens of Petersburg, called on
the Department commander for permission to hold
a meeting of condolence and sympathy on the death
of the President, but owing to the peculiar position
of affairs here, the meeting was not allowed.’’
The meeting of the colored people has ocourrod
without any unpleasant circumstances, but not
having been authorized by the military commander,
It is not deemed proper to pubßsh-lt here, the city
being under military rule. The copy can be sent
North and published.
The nnmercuß Seoesh of this city are demanding
that the loyal blacks shall bo excluded.from the
Capitol Square, while the bands of the colored regi
ments are giving their tri-weekly serenades to the
Cool of the afternoon. In fact, the Timet, conducted
by the notorious Pollard, whose name does not ap
pear, has already announced, with considerable
chuckling, that this Injustice has commenced.
Captain W. H. Hatch, therebel Commissioner of
Exchange, who was captured -with others shortly
after the surrender of Dee, was arrested yesterday
at his residence, on the corner of Leigh and Fourth
streets, upon some serious oharges of unfair and
dishonest dealings wlth tha property , and money of
our soldiers to rebq| prisons. Large quantities of
stores which were sent to our suffering* troops, and
which It now appears never reached their destina
tion, were entrusted to his delivery, and to him has
been traced a portion of tbe obmpllolty which left
Union men to starve, while he and others appropri
ated what their relatives and friends at the North
had sent to them. Hatoh’s offencebelng a serious one,
he was confined to Libby, while those of a milder
grade are furnished with apartments In Castle
Thunder. At the time of the Captain’s arrest he
was preparing dinner far General Singleton and
other Northerners, but was spirited away before the
guests arrived. When they oame a oolored domes
tic Informed them of the Involuntary absence of the
host, and to her simplicity asked them If they
tfould stay for dinner. They consented to partake
of the good things preps,red, ate heartily, and after
discussing the fate or their host, concluded, late to
the afternoon, to see what had bect&o of him.
Hatoh’s family has, during the war, resided under
the old flag to Missouri. After passing the night
to Libby to Btrict confinement, without the privilege
of speaking to any one,- he was released yesterday
morning upon the order of General Ord; The arrest
was made .by Brigadier General M. R. Patrick,
Provost Marshal General.
Mr. E. S. Stewart, who has a kind of a periodical
stand to the Spottswood Hotel, was arrested day
before yesterday for vending the rebel Marseillaise
song. Upon the matter being brought to the notlae
of General Patrick, he had Stewart esoorted to
Castle Thunder before his case could be brought tb
the notice of the higher authorities, who, upon Its
representation Immediately ordered his release.
Mr. Stewart is a gentleman of unquestionably
loyal Instincts. Rollln.
Thb Firiko o» Richmond.—The fallowing ex
tract Is taken from a letter by the rebel General
Ewell, explaining the partial burning of Richmond
at the time of lbs evacuation. It .was addressed to
a relative living near Washington, and Is dated
April 15, at Fort Warren:
“I am abused far burning Richmond. It was
burned by the mob. Then were no troops to
keep order. I had told the prlholpal citizens,
months before, what would happen, and urged
them to form a constabulary force to keep oriier.
But they would not, only three persons-offering
their services, when there were hundreds doing
nothing. The fire-hose was out,Mud the arsenal
burned by the mob. I had taken every pro
caution possible, and the people must blame them
selves. To prevent’Mfcstatements as regards our
capture, I would etatethat we were ordered to fal

Hon. Sohnyler Colfax last night delivered an ad
drees to Bryan Hall, to an Immense audience. It
was an appropriate preliminary to the solemn fane
rat services of to-day. In the course of Ms remarks he
said: We might search history, ancient or modern,
and when the task was ended all would coincide
that Abraham Lincoln was themo3t merciful ruler,
whoever put down a powerful rebellion. Now, he
so held the hearts of the people,jmd was so en
twined with their regards and affeotlons that he
was the only man living who could have stood to
the breach between the leaders of this Iniquity and
the wrath of the oonntry they had plunged, Into
bloody war. Feeling, as so many did, that his kind,
ly heart almost forgot justise to Its throb for mercy,
yet knowing as they did his unfaltering devotion to
bis Country, his Inflexible adherence to principle, his
unyielding determination for the.restoratlon of cur
national unity, there was a trust lp him almost filial,
a moving confidence that whatever he might finally
resolve en would prove to the end to be for the best.
Of the.,, many' thousand persons whom he had met

TH is JEXH-Hi MIOA OF IME SULTANA.
HBABTBBBDING SCENES AND INCIDENTS—THB BX
FLOSIOH BUFFOSBD TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A
TORPEDO.
We have ,as yet no detailed account of the awful
explosion on hoard the steamer Sultana (by which
some fifteen hundred lives were lost), on the Mis
sissippi ; but the Memphis Bulletin supplies below a
few laots to addition to the telegraphic account
heretofore published. The soene following the ex
plosion wu heartrending and terrible In the extreme.
Hundreds of people were blown Into the air, and de
scending Into the water,some dead, some with broken
limbs, some soalded, were borne under by the re
sistless ourrent of the great river, never to rise
again. 'The survivors represent the screams as ago
nizing beyond precedent. Some clung to frail pieces
of the wreck, aB drowning men cling to straws, and
sustained themselves for a few moments, but finally
became exhausted and sunk. Only the best swim
mers, aided by fragments of the wreck, were enabled
to reach the woods, and there take refage, until re
scued by boats sent from the landing here to their
assistance There were about fifteen women and
children aboard, and as near as can be ascertained,
not more than two or three had been found at the
hour when this account was written. Some of the
wretched people were borne by the current as far
down ae the levee of this olty, and this was the first
Intimation the officers of the boats to port received
of the terrible disaster. A yawl was immediately
sent out from the Marble Ulty, and to a few minutes
several persons were picked out of the water and
brought ashore. Two were afterward found cling
ing to the wheel, and they were also saved. Upon
being brought to a realization or the calamity, the
officers of the boats In port, under notification or
Captain Senior, of the River Guard, steamed np,
and to a short time were at the burning steamer,
where hundreds of people were picked up and
brought to this -landing, arriving about daylight.
They were met by a number of citizens and ladles,
wbo supplied them with abundance of dry clothing
from the quartermaster’s department and from va
rlouß stores. •
Mr. Rawberry, the first mate, was on the watch,
and standing In the pilot-house with Oapt. George
Clayton, who was at the wheel at the time of the
explosion. He only remembers the shook, that he
was blown Into the air, and was afterwards taken
from the water. He saw the -lower deck to
flames, and knows no more* He oan give no
idea of the cause of the accident, and savs
the boat was going at ordinary speed, and all
seemed weU up to tbe moment the explosion
occurred; that the second engineer, a sober, re
liable man named'olemehg,*was at the enHnes,
and that nothing more, than common was to pro
gross. Oapt. Ola] ton was also hurled Into the wreck
among the broken boilers and rubbish, sustaining
slight Injuries. He immediately jumped overboard
with a door, by which he was enabled to reach
the Arkansas shore, three miles below, where,
etrlktog a sappling, he seized and clung to it
until saved. Clemen’s, the engineer, was bad
ly burned and soalded, and can hardly recov
er. Mr.’John Fogleman, residing on the Arkan
sas side, on being aroused by the noise and see
ing, the burning steamer, hastily, constructed a
race raft, and to this way was the means of saving
about one hundred lives. In the woods, among the
drift of the wreck, the officers of the Rose Hambla
ton found a family Bible, oontatotog the reoords of
a family named Spike, of Assumption Parish, La.
The names recorded are Samuel D. Spike and Ele
thla Spike, married October 31st, 1837. The record
showe there were twelve In the family. It was sub
sequently learned that the father, mother, three
daughters, two brothers, and a niece were. lost.
Several of the bodies were recovered. This family
had seventeen thousand dollars In’gold, all of which
was lost .
At the time of the explosion Captain Mason had
retired from watob, and was to bed. He was after
ward seen throwing shutters and doors to the as
sistance of people to the water, and here all traces
of him vanished. Olerks Gamble and Stratton are
also missing.
Among the soldiers on hoard were thirty comtnls
stoned officers. The troops were of various regi
ments, and nearly all exchanged prisoners. They
belonged principally to Western regiments. At
.tbe hour of writing only five or six hundred persons
have been saved. Hon. W. D. Snow, member of
Congress from Arkansas, was on board,and escaped
uninjured.
The Memphis Argus seems to think that the ex
plosion was caused by a torpedo. It asserts that
one of the mates, Paterny, says the steam was not
near as high on the Sultana as it was usually car
ried. -He thinks a torpedo shaped like a lump of
coal must have caused the explosion. The guns of
Fort Plokertog are reported to have fired on the
boats ol tho Essex while picking up the survivors.
* Thb Dibbotioh or Booth’s FtiOH-r.—Since the
death of the assassin, the Importance of hts crime
and the dignity of the victim make the partieulars
of his mysterious escape and flight as much mat
tors of .history as of Interest. It seems that he frac
tured the Bmall bone of his leg to jumping from the
box to the theatre, but his horse carried him safely
on the road to Bryan town, ten mileß from Washing
ton, to the tavern of Mrs. Surratt. Here he arrived
on Saturday morning. The military wore the first
to oall at the tavern, but failed to get any
definite statement until the detectives came nib
The tavern was owned by Mrs. Suratt, and
leased to the old man who keeps It. Upon a close
examination he stated that Mrs. Suratt had bean
there on Friday afternoon, and left word that two
men would arrive during the night, who. were to he

Public Entertainments.
The WAtHHT-STKKBT Thbatse.— Last evening
one of the very greatest, yet most unequal actresses
upon the Amerloan stage, commenced an engage
ment at this home—we allude to Miss Ductile
Western. She reappeared In her great dual—so
the management call It—character in “East
Lynne.” We Bay that she Is “the greatest, yet
most unequal actress” on the American stage.
Portions of her Impersonation are characterized by
actual genius, and we know no artist who can draw
-such positive tears from every, tender-hearted fe
male who Is looking npon It. This Is high praise to
award any,artist, but it Is not undeserved. We
defy any person who may be present to deny that
there are more handkerchiefs placed to the stream
ing eyes of the audience during the most touching
portions of this exceedingly melodramatic play,
than are generally’seen in the most melancholy
and tear-excitlng tragedy that has ever been offered
to the public. In addition to this, she does not
merely possess the power of exciting emotion. She
is a most able actress, and, histrionically alone,
would stand very high. At the same time, we
are compelled to admit that then an portions of
the play she Is performing which she slurs over
portions which, If we were to judge her merits by, we
should value them very differently. We admit that
this want of balaneelnheraetlngmay be Intentional.
That portion of a representation which she treats
so carelessly produces for her great efleets a far
mon thorough appnetation. This may be so, but
If so, wo counsel her seriously not to allow It to grow
Into a habit. In youth everything is pardoned to
histrionic genius. As she grows older, she will be
judged by a sterner standard—a standard to whioh
she must, Eooner or later, become amenable. She
la too fine an artist for us to contemplate this chance
indlfieiently. Should she labor honestly and con
scientiously, the first place on the American stage,
whether in the legitimately tragic or purely senaa
tional drama, Is within her grasp. Let her do so,
and seize it with a Bteady mid firm hand, neglecting
nothing for the sake of heightening the separate
effects, and we should feel disposed to guarantee
her a success at the side of which even her present
one will grow pale and dim In iter after-reputation.
The Bbmbfit of Manaobb Shut.—On Saturday
next Mr. William E. Sinn, the manager of the
Obestnmt street Theatre, will receive a compli
mentary benefit, both In the afternoon ond evenlng,
from the various artists now employed at that esta
blishment. “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” is to be played
in the afternoon, with the strong oast which ensured
Its success a short time since, and In the evening
“The Colleen Bawn” will be given—the perform
ance of this clever melo-drama being followed by
‘•Mlcawber,” with Mr. Lewis Baker lu the princi
pal character. It cannot be doubted that Mr. Sinn
win have a crammed benefit In testimony both of
his nnfoilisg urbanity and his resolute and con
scientious labor in his managerial capacity.
- A Batch of Bkhepits.—We have already in
vited public attention to the benefit ofjffir. Carden,
which will take place this evening at the Arch
street Theatre, but It would seem that the present
week is to be almost exclusively a week of benefits.
Upon Wednesday the bills announce Mrs. E. JNT
Thayer as the benefidaire, “The Streets of Hew
York ” and “ Mr. and Mrs. Baker” furnish the en
tertainments for the evening. The following day,
Thursday, Miss Lizzie Price oomes before us In the
same agreeable position, with the same leading
feature on the bill, and the comedietta of “ The
Household Fairy.” Then comes Owen Marlowe,
still offering “The Streets of New York," bntglvlng
■ns an original sketoh—at least, one never before
played here—oalled “ Lord and Lady Danftoferya’,
This sketoh Is said to be most entertaining Iniiiyjha
raeter, and we anticipate, upon that soorai.tbatTvfr.
Marlowe, as well as the preceding ' three recipients
of benefits, will gather a pleasant addition to their
yearly Incomes.
Mbsbbs. Wolfsohh ahd Thomas gave their
fifth concert of classical music yesterday evening.
This concert followed rapidly upon the fourth of the
series, which took place on Saturday night, after
being postponed for two weeks on account of the
death of President Lincoln. The weather, which
has heretofore frowned upon these worthy gentle
men, was last night, fortunately, propitious, aud a
full assemblage of musical amateurs was the natural
result. The concert was, In all respects, a~great
success. The programme consisted of a choice
selection of mnslo, and It was rendered with that
consummatoabUliy which has.alwej£ distinguished
the concerts of these artists. -
The opening piece was Mendelssohn's beautiful
quartette in £ minor, op. 3, for piano, violin, viola,
and violoncello, the various .movements oirwhleh
were Interpreted with great taste, power, and deli
caoyibj Messrs. Wolfsohn, Thomas, Kammerer, and
Schmitz. The second part of the sotorte was devoted
to solo performances. Mr. Wolrsohn, by request,
substituted in place of Schumann’s 11 Novelatteu ’>
the fine fantasia in F minor, by Chopin, which he
had given with snch acceptation on Saturday. It
is needless to say that he gave Oils work with bril
liancy and effect, and that it elicited great ap
plause from the large and discriminating audience
which tow heard it. Mr. Thomas also repeat
ed the delicious violin solo, by Spohr, which
had produced such admiration at the former
concert, and in which his great mastery of the in
strument, particularly in the use of double notes,
is shown to so much advantage. The audience last
evening was so delighted with Mr. Thomas' per
formance that an encore was insisted on, when he
gave the solo by Schubert, as arumunoed on the
programme, an original and delloate composition,
which (he Interpreted with elegance. Mr. Wol&on
followed, in three “Xlelne Studien,”composed by
Miss Howell, the eminent lady pianist of this city,
whieh were warmly received.
The great feature of the entertainment, however,
was Beethoven’s magnificent septett, op. 20, whieh
was performed in a style worths of the grand cha
racter of the worn, which staWs among the first
productions of the genins of its composer. Beet
hoven’s own love of this composition Is shown
by the fact that be arranged it himself In
three forms, as a trio, as a quintette, and
as a septett, the lest the'noheßt and most
powerful. The artists who executed it last eve
nlug—Messrs. Thomas, violin; Kammerer, viola,
Schmitz, violoncello; Buchner, double-bass; StoIL
clarinet; Blrgfeld, honj; and Muller, bassoon
devoted themselves to its rendition with all their
taste, skill, and ardor, and the result was a superb
success. We congratulate Messrs. Wolrsohn and
Thomas upon the complete musical triumph
achieved by them and their associates at this con
cert.
Otto Drbbbl’b Ookcbbts.—We would direct the
attention of our musical mends to Mr. Dresel’s
plane concerts, the first of which "will he given at
the foyer, on Thurday afternoon at four o’clock;
These concerts, which are given in compliance with
an earnest letter of invitation rent to Mr. Dresel by
a large number of our citizens, together with most
of our professional pianists, have been rightly an
ticipated as a source of Infinite pleasure and satis
faction, and we had almost feared that their post
ponement on account of our great national sorrow
might be the means or depriving ns or alto
gether fop this season. We are, however, glad to
see that this is not to be the-ease. Theteis some
thing so refined in the playing of Mr. DriSel that
we feel assured that our enjoyment of these beauti
ful entertainments will be rather enhanced by the
warm welcome bestowed upon him by his numerous
mends and admirers in this city. The second and
third ooncerts will be on the evenings of the 6th
and Bth of May.
