Jar voluntary oorrespondenoels fto ma u Farts of tie world, and especially from our different military and navaldepariments. When used.ltwlU lie paid for. Free Labor the Hope of the South. Large domains, held by a small class of -masters, and tilled by a large class of ser vile operatives, are a certain index of a state of barbarism, or, at least, of very in complete civilization. This has been well exemplified in Bussia, mid still farther corroborated by the fact that, when that nation wished to assume a place in civilized Europe, she began by endeavoring to disenthral herself of her thralls; The Nor man supremacy in England resulted in a somewhat similar state of affairs, and the wealth of that island grew, and her pros perity was secured by the enfranchisement of her serfs and the intermingling of her classes. The immense tracts of lands, still held in the hands of aitew in that country, are now an acknowledged national evil, only corrected by the extent and variety of manufactures furnishing employment to the class who would otherwise he agricul tural laborers or owners of small estates. In our own South a similar condition has existed, attended by even aggravated cir cumstances. It differs from the serfhood of Russia in the fact that the slaves are at-, tached to the person and not to the soil; that is, they are liable to separation, at the will of the master, from all ties of birth and kindred—a difference which must have a great effect in lessening the bonds of custom and affection between master and man, and preventing in the slave all that love of a particular spot of earth which is so powerful a conservator of existing con ditions. “The system” in our Southern States differs also from that formerly existing in England in the character of the population enslaved. With us it is a people of another race forcibly, torh from their savage home and coerced into bondage in a foreign land, while the serf of the Norman master of England was the native of the country, Strong in his instincts of nationality, and endowed with a thoroughly Saxon unsub missiveness to foreign dictation. The fu ture history of the South may, perhaps, exhibit at least ope point of resemblance to the latter, for it is worthy of note that in England, during a turbulent and disturbed condition of the country, the Saxon frank lin was the element of stability, and the enfranchised serfs were doing the work and slowly engrossing a share of the wealth of the nation. The Norman, with Ms fierce nature, war like training, and haugkty contempt for labor, was at length compelled to' re cognize both the value of the work, and the dignity of the laborer. It was a hard Struggle, but it was honorably concluded. The strong arm and sturdy will of the worker loosened the band which the owner had fastened about Ms neck, and “ Gubth, the Saxon,” when he triumph antly crushed that mark of servitude, soon stood Ms master’s equal. It is the same story everywhere and in all ages—the certain, the inevitable en francMsement of the laborer. It is Hea ven’s own vindication of its own command —by the sweat of thy brow shalt thou thy bread. Man must assist in the work of Ms own redemption from that curse, and the only ordained means, of accomplishing that end are contained in the very words of the curse itself. The full recognition of the dignity of labor' is the aceompaMment of one of the ultimate stages of civilization. When an enlightened people estimate it at its true worth, and a free people give it its true place of honor, then, indeed, civilization is accomplished. The present time of trial, with all its blood, and toil, and terror, is working to this blessed consummation for the South, and the only means of emanci pating that stricken land from a bondage as complete as it ever inflicted, is to crown labor with all the honors "which are its due. ...... A Contrast. By this time, in all probability, 'the Em peror Napoleon is in Algeria.. He was to have sailed from Marseilles on the 24th of April, and would be absent about a month. His object is to see the great French colony in Africa, and to investigate why his lieu tenants have been unable to maintain his position there without a vast expenditure of men and money. France established herself in Algeria some thirty-five years ago,'and that province has never paid ife annual cost in its most peaceful and pros perous years. Throughout Europe this absence of Na poleon from his. capital, even for such a Short time as twenty-five to thirty days, is considered rather ahold experiment. In Paris, as we hear, it is spoken of still more doubtfully, and, to all intents and purposes, Paris represents France in general opinion. To the Empress Eugenie, as in 1859, while Napoleon was in Italy, has been confided the regency of the Empire. Bhe will be assisted-by a Council of State, composed of publicists whose position and property, perhaps whose very lives, may depend on the continuance of the imperial regime. Most probably Napoleon will return home at the appointed time,—bpt should he' die, and the climate of Algeria isnot excessive ly salubrious, what are the prospects that his little son, now, only nine years old, ■Will, be quietly allowed to ascend the throne ? There might he some opposition from Prince Napoleon (Jebome,) or one of the generals of the second Empire might aspire to seize the sceptre. When Alex anders of Macedon died, his generals placed two nominal 'boy-Kings on the throne, and shared the provinces of his vast empire among themsel v.es, under the name of satraps. There may be a partb tion of France one day, and on Napo leon’s death, nothing would be easier than for Marshal MacMahon, Duke of Magenta, fo declare himself Sultan or Pacha of Algeria, of which he is now Go vernor. A struggle for the succession may take place in France whenever Na poleon dies, and. he now is more’than fifty-seven years old. Thoughtful French men almost dread to meditate on such a contingency. Great, therefore, must have been the sur prise of France when the same.mail which carried to them news of the murder of President Lincoln, also bore intelligence that, within a few hours after that awful event, Vice President Andrew Johnson was sworn in as his successor, iu the digni fied simplicity which the Constitution en joins, and without parade, without doubt, or difficulty, or delay. At a period of unex ampled excitement, when indignation and horror at a crime unusually great thrilled 4he nation’s heart to its very core, Mr. Johnson assumed his position, as Presi dent, as a matter of course. Such was the fruit, at a great national crisis, of the Con stitution of this Bepublic, framed, under the will of Divine Providence, by the wis dom'of our ancestors. And thus, at once, it was subjected to the severest test it could be tried by, and triumphantly, passed through it. Thus, too, was the best prac tical contradiction given to all foreign doubts, past and present, of the excellence of our form of government. Where are the Conspirators ? The Scottish American informs us that ** the grand jury, in session last week at Toronto, took the very proper Btep of in dicting Thompson, Clay, and other Con federate refugees in the Provinces, for a breach of the neutrality laws. It appears, however, that these worthies had taken their departure from Canada before the in dictment was found.” One of the gang, viz: William 0. Cleary, has been ar rested and is in custody at Toronto, charged with violating the neutrality laws an A proclamations, as aforesaid. He can be claimed, and ought to be surrendered, under the'iaternational extradition treaty. “So More.” , The abolition of slavery will terminate the abuses and cruelties that were sanction ed by the legislation of the disloyal States, It is a somewhat curious fact that Slavery is subject to less restraint in a nominally free country than a despotic one. For, while in our Southern States slaveholders possessed a controlling influence that gave them dictatorial power over lawmakers and juries, in a despotic country the reigning monarch sometimes interferes, from mo tives, of humanity, to protect-Ms humblest subjects, without regard to the wishes or the interests of their masters. Fortunately all the horrors of the system will speedily he terminated. The nation declares to the taskmasters, in the language of the bard of all ages: “ mil now, ye Have gone on ana flllea the tune With all licentious measure, making your wills Tim scope or justice: till now, as many such As slept within the shadow of your power, Save wandered with their traversed arms and . . .. breathed Their sufferance vainly. Sow the time is flush When crouching marrow, In the bearer strong, Cries of Itself— no more.” Letter from “occasional.” Washington, May 4,1865, The troubles of the rebel leaders are only beginning. The rewards offered by the President for Davis,' Thompson, Clay, Sanders, Tucker, and Cleary will probably convince them that there is a very thin partition between treason and assassination. From having deliberately plottedT the ruin of their country, with all the carnage and death which accompanied and resulted from it, they are now formally accused by Tan Pbebident oa the United STATEs’of having ‘.‘incited,” “concerted,” and “pro cured” the murder of Mr. Lincoln and the attempted' assassination of Mr. Seward, Thus, to their confessed or undenied in famy of the highest crime of wMch a citizen, can be guilty against his Go vernment, is added .the solemn accu sation of being 'privy to the most ter rible deed of blood, certainly, of modern times, and rarely paralleled in the days of heathen Savagery. The proclamation of the President only gives tone and shape to the rumors of the last five days, and is a Sunplete confirmation of the public ex pectation and fear. His formal indictment is, in fact, but the fruit of the seed planted by the Secession leaders during the Bu chanan administration. If they had in tended all that has occurred, they could not have planned it better. Of course, there will now be a violent and angry pro test from Davis and his accomplices—a pro test of indignation and innocence. But all such acting will avail them nothing. Nor, indeed, is there any shadow of pretence for it, judging from the nature of the crime charged, the parties pre fering the charge, and the emi nent criminals themselves. The Re bellion iyas a great “ murder” in itself, for it sent thousands of pure and un offending beings to preihature graves, and there was an “ attempted assassination” of many more equally guiltless ahd good. The stolen mantle of “honorable war” cannot Mde such a St. Bartholomew as this. Why should the authors of this vast butchery shrink before the denouncement, that they directed or connivedatjxlfl killing of one man, and the attempt to Mil another man f TMs would be a false, as it will prove to be a fruitless, delicacy. It fa right to say, however, that two bf the per sons included in the President’s procla ,tion, George N. Sanders and Beverly Tucker, vehemently deny that they had anything to do- with the St. Albans raiders, among whom a good part of the Booth conspiracy was planned, or with the tragedy itself. Let them, then, have the benefit of the disclaimer. But it is frightfully true of them that, together with Clement C. Clay, of Alabama,, and Jacob Thompson, of Mississippi, they har bored for months in Canada, and a great part of the time on the shores of the Niagara, witMn clear sight of the "Ameri can side, scheming for the success of the most infernal plot of any age, in company with the most desperate characters of all nations, and in utter defiance of the pro fessed and boasted neutrality of the'British authorities in Canada, and of the indis putable right of our own Government. The investigation at Washington, upon wMch, the President’s proclamation is avowedly based, had, therefore, very clear strong grounds to proceed upon against these men. It was in Canada that the hotel-burning in New York was hatched, by which thousands of lives were to have • been sacrificed by a deed darker than as sassination. It was in Canada that the blockade-runners assembled, - after they ha-d plied or before going on their pirate trade, to counsel with Clay, Thompson, Sanders, and Tucker, two of whom*were partners in and lived on this traffic. It was from Canada that Thompson, Clay, and'the rest, wrote to Davis and Benjamin, at Eichmond, and kept them advised of their several conspiracies. It was from Canada that the burglars and assas sins passed into Yermont . to plun der, and, if need be, to take human life. It was in Canada that these escaped burglars were hidden, and it was through the aid, of, dlay, Thompson, & Co., that the local courts of Canada re fused to surrender these wretches to the United States. It was in Canada that the bitter prejudices against the United States were circulated until a Union American could not visit its great cities, without be ing insulted. It was in Canada that pub lic meetings were held exulting over our defeats, and that vile newspapers showered their viler vituperations upon our consuls and the head of our Go vernment. It was in Canada that the re bel emissaries arranged the interview with Mr. Seward, of February,' 1865, in wMch the President took part. It was in Canada that the arrangement was made forcibly to rescue the prisoners at Johnson’s Island, to ravage certain of the American cities on the lakes; and it was from Canadian and other British colonial ports that the rebel pirates sailed, after being refitted, to burn American ships and rob peaceable American passengers. These facts have greatly aided the efforts of the Government in the initial investigation upon. wMch the Proclamation was founded; Where could the assassins have more safely labored than in a field so safe, familiar, and well-occu pied as that of Canada ? And where so well? Always bear in mind -that the programme of the gentlemen who selected that important British Province as their rendezvous, included Arson, Piracy, and Burglary; and to add Assassination would only be to give another tint that would scarcely make the picture more hideous. That, the Government knew sometMng, nay, that it knew much of the characters it has now gibbetted before the world, may be fairly surmised. The process of the capture or arrest,-on extradition, of these' men, their trial, and in the event of their conviction, their punishment, will be the fitting finale of the Rebellion. Occasional.

BOOM MBAUD BOY !AR BESTEDO BROOKLYN. HE IS SENT TO WASHINGTON. The Antecedents of Harold, the Accomplice of the Dead Assassin. [Spec!*! Despatch to The Press.} • Nbw Yobs, May i, 1866. The Government Beams tfcbo energetically at work ferreting out thesoounWhls who wore concern ed In the assassination plot, and a now arrest has been made here which may assist It In placing the dread responsibility on every one to whom it pro perly belongs. The prisoner, to bo sure, is only a boy, but his relations to the ohlof assassin, the oon fifientiai matters in which he must have been en. gaged, will render his testimony exceedingly value- DlOa ““sted.on Tuesday evening last, while sauntering along Court street, Brooklyn, immedlato ly opposite the Montague Hall. He disappeared .suddenly from Washington on the morning of the day after the murder of tho President. He was well •Down as the errand boy of JBooth, and the, ciroam .Stance of his flight only strengthened the suspicions Whioh had already been entertained concerning him. One of the detectives, said to be attacked to 00l Baker’s force, was immediately detailed to And him, and he did find him as stated. The bey was taken to the Forty-first street preclnot station-house where he was plaoed In close onstody, at the desire of the officer, who for some reason wanted to go to Washington, The officer gave no explana tion of the matter further than to say that the pri soner was a participant in the assassination plot, and a very important capture. He would give no name, and the hoy on being asked also declined to give it. He was, however, on Wednesday commu nicative to the officers at the station on other sab' J'eots, and stated very willingly that he had been employed by Booth for some months before the murder, and-up to. the day of Its commission. WHO BABOZ.D WAS. One important fact has been gleaned from his con versation, and that is that the acquaintance between Harold and Booth was neither recent nor the re sult of necessity, as has been asserted. It seems that Harold has been a resident of Brooklyn, Some two years ago, a person who dubbed himself In his advertisements “ The Indian Herb Doctor,” opened an ; office in Fulton, street, Brooklyn, and com menced the practice of his art, promising astonishing cures. As his “certificates,” etc., did not attract that share of the public attention he expected, he began to appear at the corners of the streets, clad In fantastic costume, much, like the oil man, with tail, sugar-loaf hat, who used to be so notorious In your city. He had an assistant—a sort of confidential valet—who appeared to wear his em ployer’s old olothos—fantastic In cut and aolor—di lapidated in seam and texture. The 11 dootors” could be seen promenading the streets, or occupying the oorners, followod or surrounded by crowds who list ened amusedly to them as they extolled the virtues of their nostrums. For a considerable time they piled their trade until the ‘ ‘ Doctor ” got into trouble with r some of the credulous .patients who expected to be marvellously oared and were not. Both then mys teriously left the city and never after appeared. These facts are fresh In the memory of those who met the peripatetic quacks. The boy says that the ragged parti colored assistant was none other.than Harold, the accomplice of Booth, and his compa nion in his flight. The description of-Harold given by the boy Is precisely that given In the published descriptions. Ho was just the man that Booth would be likely to choose as a friend and guide; During his stay with the “Doc-- tor,” he displayed as much attachment for that gentleman as, it is stated, he subsequently did for Booth. The “Dootor”was a man of fine appear imge, and consummate Impudence, and in his assls -jwvho foundthe latter quality by no means want THE OOHBEOTIOH UETWEBIt BOOTH AHD THB “DOCTOR.” Booth was acquainted with the “ Doctor” in New York, and received many visits from him In Wash ington. Harold, of oohrse, became acquainted with Booth through this intimacy, and be< came, at last, his right-hand man In tho great and bloody crime. The fact of the in timacy of the quack with the assassin, and its duration to a recent date, together with his mysteri ous disappearance,’lead many to believe that he, also, knows something about the conspiracy. It will-astonish the good people or the City of Churches to knew that within their quiet limits the plot ramified, which culminated at last in awful murder. M. The Mystertens Disposition or the Body Of Bootb. The correspondents soem determined to make the Interment of Sooth as melodramatic a matter as possible. Some have buried him. In the Potomac, his body severed Into many pieces, and sank la Its waters at various places; others have had his body annihilated by ohemioal means, and others have written solemn descriptions of lono, wlered places where his body has been buried—wherelt wlllnever be seen by ntan. The {Washington correspondent of the Boston Advertiser professes, however, to be better In formed than any of his fellows, saying: “ The vexed question as to the disposal made of the remains of John Wilkes Booth is at length settled by a statement which may be regarded as final. Af ter the head and heart, which have bean deposited In the anny medical museum in Washlngton,hail been removed, the corpse was placed In charge of two men, who, after various manoeuvres oaleulatedjto baffle Impertinent curiosity, dug a grave In a little spot of ground close to the penitentiary, where forsome years felons have been burled. Booth’s body was deposit ed here, and the earth over it was smoothed and oaTefnlly sodded over. The other graves of less Infamous felons had previously been levelled, and a strong guard Is now In charge of the spot, and will continue to keep It undisturbed uhtlti the grass has grown so thickly that no one will ever be able to distinguish the place where the assassin’s corpse was Interred from the other nameless graves around It.” This statement has excitedsome comment among the other Boston papers, who claim, on theauthorl ty of a Washington paper, that Colonel Baker and his; brother, Lieutenant Baker, are the only two persons living who know what disposition was made of it, mid they are under oath to reveal the fact to nohuman being. “Any statement’’they say, ’.‘pro fessing to detail how or where the remains were de posited, is not only guess work, but a Serious refieo tion upon the faithfulness of (hose officers.” THE END OF THE WAR. DETAILS OF GENERAL WILSON’S MID. THE SAPTDBES AND TBSIIt EPPIOT OH THE DEATH OP THE BBBBIkIOH. ANOTHEB STJRBENDEB IS FLOBIDA. We are now able to present the details of Gen. Wilson’s famous raiding expedition, whleh did a great deal towards finishing the Ufe of the rebel lion. It left Chickasaw, Alabama, on the 22d of March, and arrived at; Savannah, direct from Macon, on the 29th of April, alter having travailed 481 miles over an enemy’s country hitherto untra velled by our army. The first place of Impor tance reached was Ebenezer Church, near FJantersvlile, Alabama. This was taken alter a short engagement with Forrest’s cavalry. Three' hundred prisoners and three guns -were captured. Forrest’s foro*B were driven to the west or the Oa hawhn river, and separated. A column was sent to Tuscaloosje, which captured and destroyed much Government property. Selma, 241 miles' from the base, was captured on the 2d of April, with 2,790 prisoners, 82 gnus In position, and 75 guns In ar senal. Three roiling mills were destroyed, with, fixtures, a very' large naval foundry, an 'arsenal (the second In Importance in the Confederacy), powder works, magazines, and a'large number of oars. The raiders remained at Selma eight days; After a delay of eight days, our forees left Selma, crossing the Alabama river on a pontoon bridge 850 feet In lengthj and marched against Montgomery, which was captured without opposition on the 12th. Here they discovered that the rebels had destroyed an Immense quantity of cotton, the estimates vary ing from 30,000 to 90,000 bales, five steamers, about seventy cars, and one looomotlve. All the bridges between Selma and Montgomery, a distance of about fifty miles, were thoroughly destroyed. The rebel property left behind was of little value, and our forces captured but five guns. Several rolling mills and foundries were destroyed. From Montgomery the expedition marched on Co lumbus, Ga., distant a little less than ninety miles. This, city was captured by an assaulting oolaun, under General IJpton, on the night of the 16th. Here twelve hundred , prisoners and fifty-three guns fell into onr hands. The quantity of cotton captured and destroyed was Immense, the number .of bales being estimated at not less than one hundred thou sand, Besides this, our forees destroyed great quantities of military stores, an arsenal, a pis tol factory, a sword factory, an aoeoutrement factory, threc;mllltary .and naval foanderies, a roll ing mill,' thirteen locomotives, about a hun dred Oars, and several depots and maohlne shops. A gunboat, mounting six 7-lnoh rifled guns, was captured here. While this work of destruotlon was In progressrLaGrange’a brigade- made adetour to West Point, where the rebel works were taken by assault. The entire garrison, numbering over three hundred, were captured, and their commander, General Tyler,-hilled. Here fifteen locomotives, two hundred oars and two large factories were destroyed, .as well’ as immense quantities or quartermaster’s and oommlssary . stores. The ! or every kind of public pro perty was thorough and complete. At Griffin large quantities of quartermaster’s and commissa ry’s stores were destroyed, together with the bridges on the Selma and Montgomery Railroad. Along the road five guns were Captured., Macon surren dered without assault oh the 20 th. The Confederate Generals Howell Cobb, Gustavns w. Smith, fger. cor, Robertson, and McCall were taken, together with a large number, of officers, of all ranks, and sixteen hundred prisoners, altogether. Noth ing was destroyed, as it was found unnecessary, tfhe results of the expedition may be thus summed up.: Two hundred and thirty-two guns, nearly two hundred thousand bales of cotton (destroyed), nearly four hundred ears, thirty-four locomotives, besides an Immense amount of miscellaneous mili tary stores, while our losses in all the engagements were IeBS than 850 men.

THE REBELLION RESPONSIBLE FOB THE SULTANA DISASTER. Everybody has read the harrowing details of the terrible explosion of the steamer Sultana, on the Mississippi, by which nearly fifteen hundred lives were toßt. It has no parallel In its awful effects! except perhaps In the conflagration of the Chilian cathedral last summer. It Is asserted that the dis aster was not duo to the ordinary causes, but to a tor pedo whioh, shaped like a lump of ooal, was thrown into the fumaoewith the fuel, and imme diately exploded. An air of probability la giyan to this statement from discoveries recently made. The occupation of Richmond, and the results of carious searohes has shown that Davis had what was balled a “ Bureaulof Infomal Machines, 1 * a subdivision or their War Department. The sphere of this bu reau was the manufacture and use of the torpedoes, which have, at different times and places, inflloted so much damage on our marine. Different forms were adopted for different occasions, and among others that of a great piece ol coal. A miniature representation of one found in the cabinet of curi osities in the house of Jrnra Davis proves the use of this particular shape.

XRe Face of the Dead T UHL DE3 BITEX A L. DUST TO DUS T. SPBrNSHTEM), IIL, May B.—Crowds of those who loved and revered tho late Abraham Lincoln, even mere than he. was thus loved and revered In the whole of the vast Northern seotton of the United States, had been long before daybreak collected in and around the Chicago, Alton, and Ht. Louts Rail way. Station, awaiting the arrival of the funeral tram which bore with It his remains. Rarely have we seen a more decorons and more silent multitude of men awaiting the arrival of any solemn pageant. Never before have we Been a pageant by which we were more deeply and solemnly Impressed. Nor was It alone those who had personally known and loved him, as a resident In their midst, that were paying this mute reverenoe to his corpse. Thou sands and thousands Of people had thronged in upon Springfield from the adjacent States, and orowded in tearless yet mournful solemnity around the sta tion, awaiting the arrival there of the remains of “that good and groat man,” who had been out off from amongst them, even when the popular love had called him—as a just tribute to hl3 exalted worth—for a second time to fill the Presidential chair. Thegrlef of those who had not Individually known him was as imposingly touching, although scarcely so acute, as that of those who had thus con gregated to lend an added solemnity to the recep tion of his remains In thatiplaoe where he was for ever to rest,among his old friends and acquaint ances, their children and children's ohildren, until the trump of the archangel should summon his spirit, clothed with the flesh and blood of Its old humanity, to stand at the judgment bar of the Eternal One. When he Is thus summoned, let us frankly and proudly say,we know no mortal ruler who has ever wielded such a power as had been eon ferrod upon him, that may stand morenpright, and present a cleaner and more spotless record to the mighty and all-conscious Judge, who weighs and estimates the acts of all men. The Arrival of the Fuseral Train. The bells had been toiling and the minute guns had been marking the lapse of time, when almost precisely at nine o’clock tho oars which bore the preolons remains of Abraham Ltnooln became visi ble. In a few minutes the mournful train stopped, and a sadly whispering voice was heard In the vast throng, as preparations were being made to lift the ooffln from the ear. Women sobbed and wept; gray-halred men looked on with dimmed eyes, while not a few of the younger ones found them selves unable to restrain their tears. Seldom, If ever, has such a deep and heartfelt mourning been exhi bited by %ose amongst whom he had lived, for any human trier. ' Mourning has marked the progress of the funeral proeesslon In all the oltles which It has touched in Its sad progress. Bat here, amongst his own friends—where he was personally known—whero he had .been- loved and respected before his great qualities had won for him an earthly Immortality of glory, here, in Springfield, the popular feeling culminated. Here, the speechless mourner stood, uncovered, and with the salt drops blinding his eyes, to welcome the dead man, whom haply he had known and loved, ;to his last dwelling-place. . - The Funeral Procession. On the body being removed from the train, it was borne to the funeral oar and the procession was formed m the following order; Brig. Gen. Cook and staff; military escort; Major Gen. Hooker and staff ; the Guard of Honor, surrounding the cata falque. Afterwards came the relatives and friends of tire deoeasedln carriages; tho Illinois delegation from Washington; Senators and Representatives of the Cosgfoea of the United States, Including their Sergeant-at-Arm b, and Speaker Colfax, the Illinois State Legislature, the Governors of differ ent States, delegations from Kentucky, the Chicago Committee of Reception, the Springfield Com mittee of Reoeption, the Judges of the different Courts, the reverend Clergy, offioers of tiro Army and Navy, firemen of the city, the citizens generally, colored citizens, &c. The Hearse. . This was magnificently and splendidly adorned. It had been made at St. Louis, and had been brought ' here for the mournful purpose to whioh lb was now •devoted. A gentleman who was standing near us, and appeared to know everything, was sufficiently untroubied bjr the gloom whiohseemod oppressing all around, to Inform those who were standing near him, lnavery audible whisper, that It cost fiio.obo. His Information proved, however,, to be strangely Incorrect, as subsequent Inquiry discovered that It had cost little more than $5,000. six black horses drew tfcc'taoumfnl.car. Their trappings and harness were of black leather, studded with silver. The Mourning Decorations, An almost universal mourning was externally visible on all the houses In the streets.through which the procession passed, amongst whloh we specially remarked the mourning ornaments on the Illinois and Mississippi Telegraph Offloe, which offered to the spectators a tall, white .obelisk of pure white, upon a blaok ground. About the middle of the Shalt was the Blngle name, “ Lizrooiar,” and at Its base was a sentiment couched lu his own words, “ With mai.icb towards hows, with chabttv hob Ann.” In one of the windows, which wove all draped with black, was;a bust of the deceased Presi dent. This was placed upon a pedestal, heavily draped with blaok velvet and bordered with deep, silver fringe. *' Abraham Lincoln’s Law Office. The building, however, which might most touch' the stranger, was the Law Offloe of our Great Mar tyr. It was pointed out to those who visited Springfield for the first .time. It Is situated In a three-story brisk building. The entrance was festooned with heavy sable drapery, jnd In the doorway a portrait of Abraham Llnooln Wai ikbitog- Th® stranger who looked upon It wsb smitten with the feeling that In this place the country lawyer had laid the foundation Of a Mpu. tation for talent and honor which Mad developed him into one of the two greatest and best men whom these United states have ever summoned to the first position"in their Government. Xbe Capitol. The dome of the State House was most riohly draped with black and white muslin, which was also festooned or fell in folds and stripeß over the lower portion of the bnlldin'g. Blaok mid white drapery partially concealed tbs windows, while the flag which surmounts the dome floated at hair-mast from a staff, with blaok streamers. The draping of the building in its suit of sable was both imposing andCsolemn, while the pediments at either entrance were covered with evergreens, which Increased this effeot by their contrast with, the'dead and moainftil colors that, as It were, shrouded the walls of the Capitol. 'lts entrance was thickly veiled with blaok, as was also the rotunda, from the in side of the dome of which large festoons of ever greens were hanging. The greatest mourning splendor was, however, shown In the arrangement of the hall of the House, of Representatives, to which the body had been borne. The Mall of Representatives. Thefcvident intention was that the monrning deco ratlons should oompleto the design of the hall as much as possible. Twelve Corinthian columns run artjuhd It, supporting a half dome, which faces to wards the west. A rising sun radiates from the oen 'tre of this, and Immediately beneath-It, on the place , which had been formerly occupied by the Speaker’s chair, stood a dais, which those who sought to look on: the features-of the dead asoended by three steps. Columns of some twelve feet In height supported a hexagonal canopy. The capitals of these columns weie worked to with white velvet and sliver, which passed Inside rite roof of the Gatafelque. Its outside was covered with heavy blaok folds, orowned at eaeh angle and to the centre with lofty black and white plumes. Draped. Ragles surmount, It. The Inside of the "oanopy was lined with white erapeoyer a ground of blue silk, aha studded with silver stars, which caught the gas light thrown from the globes of ground glass which spring from the columns, doing battle with the weighty gloom which seemed to oppress and weigh down the mind of the spectator. Between the columns rising from the dais was a rloh blaokva iahee to folds, with a sliver fringe and heavy velvet curtains, fastened haok with sliver bands, so as fully to expose the interiors The eatafalque, which was covered with black velvet and trimmed wlthsllver and, satin, bore.pn lt thlrty-Blx stars of burnished silver. The dais around'it was strewn with evergreens and white flow era, and the steps leading to.lt were'covered with blaok oloth, border ed and banded with silvpr lace. On a sable ground, Immediately above the coffin, Inscribed In. large antique letters, are the memorable words uttered by the Illustrious dead-at Independence Hall, in Philadelphia, upon February 22d, 1861: “ Soohbb thaw Sttbkbwdbr thksb Peinciples I WOWth-BB ASSASSINATED OM THB BBOT.”.. while bn one side of the chamber, to a similar- stylo, Stand the words, . “WASHINGTON, THB FATHBB,” and bn tits other, “LISOOtW, THB SAVTOB.’* At the head of the dais was a very fins portrait of Washington, the frame of. which was thickly cover ed with blue orape. j .

Tears filled all eyes as they bent their glanoea upon him. Turning from the features they knew they should no more see In the flesh, they descended the steps of the dais slowly end mutely, sadly quitting the presence of that death whose mighty shadow had for the moment enveloped, awed, and subdued them. The Son of the President. Captain Robert Lincoln hag arrived to-night, ac companied by Mr. J. G. Nieolay, the private secre tary of the late President. Captain Lincoln oomes to attend the funeral of his late father. The Burial, May 4.—This morning, from early dawn, the cemetery was orowded by thousands, while the streets of Springfield were equally thronged. It seemed not .as If the .olty was 'assembling to pay the last tribute of Its sorrow to the' martyr who bad died for bis. country. It was rather as if Illinois had poured out all its _ mourning inhabitants In solemn veneration of him whom we all remember as a father. Nor was It such a mourning even as we have seen In Washington, Philadelphia, and New York. Not one whit less solemn, it was Infinitely more affecting, and might have stricken with sor row the stoniest heart that had ever bean given vitality by the Almighty. It was abodt noon that the remains of Abraham Lincoln were, for the last time, closed np and borne from the Capitol to be placed within the hearse. Major General Hooker officiated as marshal-ln-chlef, assisted by Brigadier Generals Cook and Oaks. The guard of honor was, as we understood, the same as on the preceding day. In the procession were the Governors of seven States, Senators and Members or Congress, the State and municipal authorities of Illinois and Springfield, delegations ftom the. adjoining States, a large number of Freemasons, besides the Old Fellows, and, indeed, the whole of the Improvised population of the olty who had not already taken their places in the Oak Ridge Cemetery to await Its arrival. Such a funeral procession never attended any man to his grave in so small a olty as this was. It was a representative burial, recording the true hearted grief of our people for the man who will stand’in their memories next to that of 'Washing ton, who taught them, by his endurance and his patience, their first successful step upon the proud pathway of their nationality. The Vauli. As the funeral cortege, with solemn march, ap proached the vault, in whioh were soon to ba do. posited the remains of bur late lamented chief, the ' dense crowd pushed forward, to obtain, If possible, a view of the Interior of the sepulchre. A little upon the left of the tomb was a platform, upon which was a band and a full choir; when ‘ the proeesslon was In sight, muslo appropriate to the occasion was performed? A short dis tance from the musician's stand was a plat form erected for the speakers. The vault -itself Is situated In one of the most beautiful spots we have ever seen, and with its evergreen ornaments formed a magnificent, yet sad ploture. It is at the foot of a knoll, and surrounded by foreßt trees of nearly every description. It is somewhat over fourteen feet In height, being, perhaps, a little wider than It Is high. The material is limestone, the main walls being rather rustlo; a kind of Dario gable restsupod pilasters, and semi circular wings of briok project towards the hUI-slde. We were not able to push our way through the seiglng mass, and obtain a good view of the interior, but afterwards had a chance of Inspecting it, and noticed that inside the heavy doors were strong iron railings. The walls are covered with blaok velvet, embellshed with evergreens. In the centre of the tomb were of briok-work, capped with a large marble slab, upon which the coffin was deposited. As the detail of stalwart soi. filers approached the hoarse for tho purposejor lower ing the body to Its final home, the utmost sllenoe reigned, and the “ Dead March” was played by the musicians on the platform. Everything tended to make the occasion most grandly and terribly Im pressive. Of all those thousands of people who there witnessed the disposition of the proolouß body of the martyred Lincoln, scarcely one but wept tears of true, heartfelt sorrow. The Religions ceremonies. » The religious exercises were reverently and humbly performed. To one who had stood there as we did, and, even had he been a perfect stranger, known that a nation was committing its well-loved father to the grave, the whole scene mußt have been inex pressibly and touchingly solemn. Alter a dirge had been chaunted select portions of Scripture were read, and a prayer offered up, in which every head was bowed and the ploas appeal found ‘an echo and an answer In every heart. This was followed by a hymn sung by the choir, and when this was concluded the Rev. Wm. Hubbard stood up and read in a dear and audible voice the last Inaugural Address of the deceased President. Perhaps this was the most affecting part of . the whole ceremonies. Just two months since, Abraham Lincoln, alive and In his full health, had uttered this patriotic and klnd ly-souled Inaugural. Te-day, just two months from that time, he lies here, cut off by the hand of a dastardly assassin from the Government of a people, who venerate his memory as children may that of a beloved parent. Stark and eold to the love they bear him, unable to hear or answer a sin gle kindly word, though it be uttered dose to: that deafened ear, add insentient to the blessed' sun or the fresh wind which falls npon or sweeps over the budding trees or the green sward of that earth which had nursed and reared him to the greatness; which one moment had 1 swept from him. Weep!: weep I For we have lost as pure a blend as God ! ever.mado a rnlerof. • r When Mr. Hubbard had concluded, another dirge was sung, and Bishop Slmpßon delivered a funeral address, which was gravely and impressively, con ceived, and to many of the more patriotio portions of which an applausive murmur was occasionally heard, heaving, as It were, the heart of the crowd, which thrilled In answer to It. Alter another dirge haft, been sung, the Rev. Dr. Gurley pronounced the benediction. Then the procession solemnly formed and again returned. We have deposited the body of Abraham Lincoln within his tomb. We have bidden a last farewell to the remains of, him we {had so slowly yet so rarely grown to love, and as we turned away, a Bllant prayer arose within our hearts that God might deal as kindly with us heneeforwardas he has dealt mar ol fully with us In that last struggle, of whioh the late President had seen the whole—out off like 'Moses ’ere he had set his foot upon that promised land, across whose borders his eye, *ere death, hod east one last trusting and hopeful glanoe. [Associated Press Account.] STBrwGXTBtD, 111,, May 4.— About noon the re. mains of President Lincoln were brought from the State IJouse and placed to thehearae. The funeral procession was under Major General Hooker, mar shal-to-ohlef, and Brigadier Generals Cook and Oaks. The military mid firemen appeared finely, and the guard of honor was the. same as during the Sentlro route. The prooesßlon, Including the Go vernors of seven States, members of Cougress, State and municipal authorities, delegations from adjoining States, Freemasons, Odd Fellows, and citizens, including colored persons, arrived at Oak Ridge Cemetery at one o'clock. On the left or the vault to which the remains were deposited imme diately on their arrival, was a platform on. which singers and an Instrumental band performed appro priate muslo.

In the contra of the velvet Is a-foun dation of briok work, capped with a marble slab, on whloh the coffin rests. The front of the vault Is trimmed with evergreens. ' The Dead Maroh in-Saul was sung, accompanied by the band, as the remains were deposited. , Thousands gf persons assembled at thi cemetery, before the arrival of the prooosslon, and the scene was one of most intense solemnity.’ The religious exercises were commenced by the sftjglng of a dirge; then followed the reading, of appropriate portions of scripture, and a prayer. After a hymn sung by the ehofr, the Rev. Mr. Hubbard read the last Inau gural of Pres Went Llnooln. Another dirge was sung by the ehoir, when Bishop Simpson delivered a funeral address, which was In the highest degree solemn and patriotic, and portions of 1 lb ware ap plauded. Another dirge and a hymn folio wed, when the benediction was pronounced by' the Rftv. Dr. Gurley. The precession then' reformed, and return ed to the city. Our mournful duty of escorting the mortal re mains of Abraham Lincoln hither Is performed- We have seen them deposited to the tomb. Bo" leaved friends, with subdued and grief-stricken hearts, have taken their adieu, and now turn their faees homeward; ever to remember the affecting and Impressive scenes which they have witnessed. The injunotion, so often repeated on the way, Bear him gently to his rest,” has been obeyed, and the great heart or the nation throbs heavily at the portals of the tomb. POimOAX.

THE RESPECT S) Ml DEAB ON fflE ROlfll TO SPRINGFIELD. A SBtOBT HISTOBY OF EVES’!S. Our special despatches, In another column, give a description of the last rites over the remains o' our dead President. It would he well, perhaps, to now make a short record or the route of the remains as a matter of history, and as a companion’ pleoe to the narrative of the burial, it Is needless for ns to speak of the sorrow and respect with which the sad cortege was met'on its progress from Washington to Springfield. The gloom is still felt, and the remem brance of the murder Is freshened every day by the funeral crape that drapes our houses and our public buildings, stretching for miles on every hand. On Wednesday, the 19th of April, the funeral ceremonies were read over the ■ dead in the Past Boom of the White House, where such a short time before a little son of him, who Is now departed, lay in state, wept over by the fond hearts who felt Ms loss so much. Those who wore present can never forget the scene, both In that hall of death and in the crowded streets over whlob pasaedsuch a fimeral pageant, that years hence old men will gather their grand-children round their knees and tell of It with conscious pride. The dead lay In state In the oapitol, and thousands went there totaketheir part ies look. At eight o’clock on {the morning of Friday, the 21st, the funeral train left Washington, and arrived in Baltimore at ten. Here the scenes of sorrow and respect were renewed, even in the olty where ex actly four years before the first martyrs had been Immolated In the cause of undivided Union. X-eavlng Baltimore, the remains were laid in'state at our capital, Harrisburg, from »K o’Oloek to mid, night of the Met. On the 22d, the train moved to this city, where the remalnsawere received by a great procession, of all classes, trades, and professions, and escorted to Independence Hall. After laying' in state, and tong visited by hundreds and thousand!’ throughout Sunday up to one o’clock on Monday morning, 21th ult., It left atl A. M, for Hew York. Trenton was reached at 6K A. M,, Elizabeth Olty at BJ£ A. M., and Jersey City at 9% A. M. The remains were received in New York at 1.30 P. M. The same sad scenes as in tMs city was re-enacted there and at the Intermediate cities. On the night of the 26th the train reached Albany, and on the 26th there was a great funeral. On the 27th Buffalo was reached, on the 28th Cleveland, on the 28th Oolumbns, on the SOih Indianapolis, and Chicago on May Ist (Monday), at noon. At Chicago the display was the grandest ever seen in the State. On Wednesday the cortege reached Springfield.

He is one of the most gentlemanly actors, or rather, one of the best actors of gentlemanly parts now on the American stage. In the play of “Rosedale,” Ms Idea, makeup, and personation of Colonel Ca vendish May, was noticed as singularly Effective, artistical, and natural. The first piece to-morrow evening will be an original sketch, entitled “ Lord and Lady Dundreary,” in which Mr. Marlowe, who is about site feet high, will be played up to by Miss O, Jefferson, who is a trifle over three. A new and interesting letter from Sam, touching on the topics of the day, will he introduced. An amateur will tell a Yankee Story, and " The Streets of New York,”wMoh Mrs. Drew has put upon the stageln the best manner, and, really, without regard to cost, will be the concluding piece, with sueh a bill, in dependent of Ms own recognized talent and popu larity, Mr. Marlowe may safely count on a full house. > Benefit of Mbs, D. P. Bowbbs.—One of the most agreeable names connected with the Phila delphla stage is that of the lady who this evening - tabes a benefit at the New ’Chestnut-street. On this occasion she will appear in a character which she has made entirely her own—“the” Lady Auiley,r>l which we hadoooasion to speak earlier in the week. With this, she will take the part of Lady Elizabeth Freelove, in “The Day After the Wedding,” thus giving’us melodrama and oomedy, and developing both the histrionic charms by which she attracts and chains her admirers. A bill so wealthy In Interest ought to drawn orowded house. Thb Handel abd Haydn Society's Concert, tMs evening, should not be forgotten by those who desire to hear a fine oratorio rendered by competent artists. Nefikomm’s “David ”Isto be given com plote, wltb eminent solo singers and the chorus of the sooiety, accompanied by the lull Germania Or ohoetra. An excellent performance may be expect ed, and, as this is the last concert to be given this season by the sooiety, a large attendance 2s hoped for. Otto Debbbl was greeted at Us first concert, yesterday, by a large audience, including many of the most appreciative amateurs and professors of nmslo in Philadelphia. Mr. Diesel's reputation as a fine Interpreter of classical piano compositions had excited considerable curiosity among the mu sical public of our olty, and It was, therefore, natu. ral that the desire to hear him should be great. We are happy to state that Mr. Dresel did not dlsappolnt his auditors. On tho Contrary, on every side, we heard ,the highest commenda tions of his performance expressed. The pro gramme was selected with great can, and with an evident intention of affording those who heard, this artist fob the first time an opportunity of judg. . leg of his powers in the Interpretation of composers of Various schools of art. From Beethoven we had the sohata In E flat, op. 31, and Liszt’s transcrip tion of the. andante from the Fifth symphony, both of which were given with great power and expression. Weber's “ Slumber Song," also transcribed by Liszt, an extremely soft and tender composition, was delicately andsympathetloally rendered; and as a specimen of a more ancient school, we had a care ful peiformanceof the Intricate Fugue, in O sharp ma jor, by John Sebastian Bach. Of Chonln’s music Mr. pvf bs three examples. The anperfi Sckema i in B flat mlnOf—of-whi&h we have already had such fine interpretations by- our own resident artists, Wolfeohn and Jarvis—was most’ Skilfully and toil- Uantly performed, as were also the Etudes, la G- fiat ’ and E flat. The Adagio and finale, from Chopin’s first ooncerto, may, however, be considered as the great success of the concert. This brilliant and immensely difficult composition was given In a masterly style. Tim orchestral accompaniments, arranged for a second piano, were performed by our talented townsman, Mr. Charles H. Jarvis. The . only*’disappointment which we experienced In the whole conoert was In Mr, Dresel’s rendi tion of Mendelssohn’s “Spring Song,” which seemed to us rather hard, and though me chanically oorreot, did not convey the rippling flow. of the composer’s thoughts. This objection, how ever, must be taken as extremely light- when we consider the great variety of fine music which Mr. -Dresel gave us In the course of the afternoon. His thorough devotion to the . study of the best com posers Is worthy of the highest praise that can ho given, and we welcome him to Philadelphia with open arms. The audience which attended Ms first concert y«torday went there to become acquainted with him, and, If necessary, to oritlcise, and now that Ms merits have been appreciated, are ready to revisit Ms saloon for pure enjoyment. We may prophecy a fall and enthusiastic attendance at the second conoert outo-morrow evening. . Tbs Bkbhahia.
