>o paid for, .
trial of the assassins.
The following, from the Washington
Chronic 7 * of Monday, will be heartily re
sponded to by horror-stricken millions.
,The trial of the assassins is to take place
under a military court, and the most dis
tinguished ability will be enlisted on the
ride of the Government and the People.
The accused will be allowed counsel, who
will have permission to examine their
Witnesses, and nothing -will be left undone
to ferret out the horrible mystery which
has enshrouded this appalling tragedy,
and to bring to light all those con
cerned in it—-whether' the flying ty
rants themselves who sought to murder
the Republic, or their abject or bribed tools
who acted under {heir exhortations, if not
under their immediate instructions. What
ever may be said Of the very few who still
clamor that these wretches should have
been tried by a civil tribunal, and who
dare to assert that the Constitution of the
United States and the laws of the land would
be violated by confiding them to the sterner
process of a military commission, with
these exceptions all parlies in this country
and every civilized nation on earth, (as
Will be seen by the very last foreign news),
concur in denouncing this unparalleled
crime as entitled to the extrame3t and se
verest punishment, and as only worthy of
fiends and savages. Fortunately for the
cause of justice and freedom, this important
case is in the hands of men who will not
fear to prosecute it to the end, and it is to
be hoped that the American popple will
give them the fullest confidence and sup
port :
“ A conspiracy the most extensive and formlfiaKe
In the calendar of crime, at least in thU country, 19
about to be subjected to the anslysis of an Impartial
trial. The preliminary examination by the officers
of the Qovernment, conducted with matchless vigi
lance and determination, led the President to issue
Us proclamation offering oertaia rewards for ffve
named individuals, startlingly Implicated by this
examination In the awful crime of assassination and
attempted murder. This act of the Executive,
taken deliberately, after full consultation and redac
tion, will be foUowed by a formal and exhaustive
Investigation, according to the solemnities of the
national exigency and the character of the hor
rible offence. It is true, the first trial will not in
clude that of the heads of the oonsplracy, for
whose capture rewards are advertised. Only their
Instruments will be brought before the judgment
seat. But in the detection and the indictment of
these infamous beings—not, we are pained to 5%7,
ell of them iron—a ESSO of fsots has been obtained
that must Implicate Others of greater note, bbJ affix
to the rebellion tho lasting ignominy of being the
work alike of traitors and of assassins. And should
they he brought to punishment, as we now think
feme of them surely wIU be, there is not a Christian
Government or individual who will not rejoice at
the result, and honor the fearless men who have
labored to effect It. And the loyal people and the
loyal preES of the United States ewe it to tho cause
of humanity and to the country to strengthen ths
hands of these men in the midst of their new and in
creasing responsibilities. Happily, however, they
cannot be baffled or daunted la what they have
to do. Never has any crisis required mare integrity
and intrepidity, and never have these elements
been better represented than in the statesmen who
have undertaken this mighty work. They are not
made of the metal to be oaught by fabricated testi
mony, or to set the people on a false scent for party
ends. Hence then Is no occasion for question as to
the necessity of the proceedings against the con
spiracy, nor of the abundant probability of the ex
posure of the assassins and thugs. How the sequel
will be attained it is not for us to discuss; but lu
the effort to reach it, let not petty or party embar
rassments be made by loyal mon or by loyal jour
nals. The manner of the trial, whether private
or pnblic, may not harmonize with some or the
tender sensibilities of tho traitors and their sympa
thizers. But this was expected. So that it shows,
as we predict it will show and prove, that the ooa-

The war haa terminated in a triumph es
sential to the protection of the best inte
rests of the North. We secure not 'merely
the vast area of territory which the rebel
lion sought to wrest from the Republic, but
we purify it and cement it by new bonds
to the Union. One successful attempt at
secession would have speedily been follow
ed by another, until every semblance of
national unity had been lost, or made
the prey of anarchy, military despotism,
or the foreign conqueror. Mexico would
have been our prototype. Instead of pity
ing her, as now, our ruin would have
been so complete that she would have
learned'to pity us. The day is not distant
When every conquered district will rejoice
in out victory. The ends that rendered
success essential to our future welfare are
as serviceable to them as to us. Free Go
vernment cannot be perpetuated on this
Continent unless by a strong cordon of
mighty States. We have this cordon now,
‘ and no human hand can shake or break it.
Tire Soldiers and the Farmers.
There are now SP few Copperhead papers,
that to read one a month old is to be let
into a flood of forgotten affairs/ This is
hardly the time to revive what does not de
serve to be remembered, but there are cases
which fidelity to history commands us to
preserve. A text for curious reflection is to
be found in the two subjoined extracts from
Pennsylvania papers; the one from the
home organ of James Buchanan, and
the olher printed in what is called “ the
mountain county” of Cambria. Both
these articles appeared late in March
ox early in April, and were suggested
by the efforts of the Government to enforce
the draft to crush the rebellion. The object
Was tp,preate disaffection and resistance to
the laws by appeals to the most mercenary
and selfish feelings. It is difficult, as we
read these extracts, to decide whether they
were intended most to insult the soldiers
or the people. The soldiers me told, almost
indistinct terms, that they are fighting to
beggar the farmers and to starve the home
population; while these latter are directly
invited to oppose the Government for
taking men away from the walks of la
bor. Now, however, that the soldiers are
returning, their slanderers will see that the
enforcement of the draft was the very best
way to help all classes, chiefly including
the farmers themselves. These brave men
will enjoy the proud consciousness of hav
ing saved the nation, rescued Pennsylvania
from invasion, and protected the farmers
and their plantations from rebel outrage,
And they will soon turn their strong arms
to till our broad and fertile fields, and to
gather in the rich harvests now ripening
under a peaceful sun. This is, indeed,
poetic vengeance upon the malignant pro
phecies of Copperhead newspapers. The
extracts are as follows;

the rural townships. It is calling spirits from the
vasty deep—they are not here—many of them are
gone to their last reckoning, and have left their

We trust the soldiers of the Republic will

they were fighting for the old flag, only
remembered them for abuse and to mis

dedicated their lives.
Anniversary Week in New York.
One section —a fifty-second and a very
curious one—Of the annual life Of New
Yofk, is that which is named by the seri
ously-minded of our Bister city, the Anni
versary Week. It does duty as a sort of
yearly Sabbath, a day on which the vari
ous Christian denominations balance their
accounts, and set their houses in business
order for the ensuing twelve months. Or,
perhaps, we ought not to say the various
Christian denominations, so much as-the
various charitable and political socie
ties which belong to the different de
nominations—the Anti-slavery bodies, and
the Missionary and Congregational Unions,
with societies for promoting the spread of
the Gospel in the hack slums of the city,
as well as in Timbuctoo or the Feejee
Islands. In this week the slate of the past
year is sponged clean, and a clear surface
left for the cash account of the coming one.
Every prominent preacher in New York
may be heafd by the strangers whC Visit
that city upon this occasion, supposing
that stranger to be blessed with the desire
for improving bis intellectual morality, and
with the means for offering his mite in aid
of the many, and, in most cases, very con
tradictory objects which appeal to him.
It is, perhaps, scarcely astonishing that
the “doctors” should differ as much aa
they do when they are discussing in so
many cases the subject. But Borne
hundred years since this might not have
been so apparent. At that time Report
ing was anything but an Art, and Phono
graphy might certainly lay no claim to be
considered one of the exact sciences.
Then the Rev. Dr. Cheevek in one
church might have contradicted the pro-,
positions advanced by any other reverend
doctor in another church, at the opposite
pole of the city, without the majority of
their hearers being next morning enlight
ened upon their fraternal divergence in re
ligious opinion; or—should we not say so—
in politically religions opinion. That this
must have been infinitely better, not for
tbe religious student, but for the somewhat
irreligious general reader of the various
daily journals, is obvious. It is bewildering
to him to see two eminent teachers whom
he has, perhaps, been accustomed to re
gard with reverence, differing not alone
upon doctrine, but upon positive matter of
fact. A doctrinal difference he might ac
cept, but how can he reconcile to him
self denial and affirmation upon what
has already been achieved, or is being,
achieved Uftder his very eyes. For in
stance, when he hears the Rev. IlailEV
Wabd Beeches triumphantly affirm that
“the Roman Catholic Church is now
crumbling and mouldering away,” before
the Congregational Union who are assem
bled at Plymouth Church in the suburban
district of Brooklyn, it must be remarkably
bewildering on the following day to find
that the Rev. C. S. Robinson, in the Thir
teenth-street Presbyterian Church, has been
sketching out, in somewhat glowing colors,
“ the power and compactness of the Roman
Catholic Church,” and “its rapid growth
in OUr country. ” Which shall we believe ?
Which Of his' two teachers is so ourtTU
brain, and so m intellect, that he
-nriyulßpense with listening to him ? Pos
sibly, may he not believe both? May he
not manage—as the Tahitan did when he
first received Christianity, but .was un
willing to entirely abandon his old creed—
to believe a little of “ either,” and so re
concile the two opposing sections of
opinion. We submit this to the reverend
gentlemen as matter for argument, hut
would meanwhile hint'to them that the
politics of religion should not he discussed
when the papers may require from their
reporters a column or two Of religious in
telligence, unless, indeed, they can manage
to mark out their variations of opinion
under the protection of doors locked against
the intrusion of outsiders.
Mexican Lbttbhb or Makqub —The report
that the President of the Mexican Republic had,
some time since, Issued letters of marque to priva

the Commissioner of Patents has extended the

Whereas, Armed resistance to the authority of this
Government In certain States heretofore declared
to be In insnrreotion may be regarded as virtually
at an end, and the persons by whom that resistance,

VI8&IMIA.
The President bae also issued an executive order
to le-eßtaiiilsh the authority of the United States
and execute the laws within the geographical limits
known as the State of Virginia.
It Is ordered that all acts and proceedings of the
political, military, and civil organizations which
have been in a state ef insurrection and rabouiou,
within the State of Virginia, against the authority
and laws ef the United States, and of whloh
Jefferson Davis, John Letcher, and William

so far as may be necessary, In-the lawrul measures
whloh he may take for the extension and adminis
tration of the State Government throughout 1 the

From Selma, Alabama.
We insert from tho Chattanooga Daily Rebel Of
April 20th and 21th ult., the following extracts. They
glue a somewhat new phase of the feelings of the
rebels in regard to the late assassinations. The
Rebel of the 20th ult. has the following:
If the news we published yesterday from Senato
bla Is true, William H. Seward, the cold-blooded
and heartless political nalaoraant, who guided the
Infernal policy which plunged us into tuts bloody
and desolating war, has been arrefited by ah angry
God In lie midst or his iniquities, and has paid ttto
penalty of his crimes at the hands or an unknown
assassin. His ambitious plans have been brought to
a bloody, we do not say fitting, conclusion. If it
was right for Bratus to slay tho despotic Coosar,
who shall say that the man who slit the throat of
this arch-plotter against the lives and liberties of
this people Is not worthy of the laurel wreath?
And Abe Lincoln, too, the political mountebank
and professional joker, whom nature intended for
the ring of a otrens, but whom a strange streak of
popular delusion elevated to the Presidenoyv-he
also has fallen. His career was as short as It was
bloody and infamous. He has gone to answer be
fore the bar of God, for tho Innocent blood whloh he
has permitted to be shed, and his efforts to enslave a
free and heroio people.
The same paper, date 24th ult., continues:
The people of the North are now reaping tho
natural and Inevitable harvest of crime growing
out of the demoralization incident to a state of war.
The last despatches exhibit a most shocking and
horrlM© ststo soolcty. ThC Pf'esideM mia his
Prime Minister killed by ttssatsins, and the new Presi
dent and the Secretary of War murdered by a mob,
which has obtained and holds possession of the Capi
tol of the nation. Other oltles sacked and a great
DODiilar revolution agalnrt the rulers tmpsndlng.
While their armies are devastating onr land their
own (lown-trodden populace, Infuriated by tyranny
and driven to despair by want, bursts the bonds of
law, and a reign uf terror and of ruin ib established.
That nation whloh prided Itself upon Its strength
and prosperity, finds three different Presidents
occupying Its Exeontlve ohalr within tho space of
a single month, two of whom were murdered ; dls
cord and anarcty riding rampant and ruling thß
hour. Perhaps they may yet find it necessary to re
call the armies they have tent to these States to ruin us

Baltimore, May 9.—A gentleman who has just
arrived here from North Carolina reports that the
rebel troops surrendered by Johnston are greatly
demoralised and nearly beyond the control of their
officers, who are striving to march them to their.re
spective States. The officers have beoome' the ob
jects of Intense bate, and it Is as much as their lives
are worth to venture away from the lines. Quite a
number have been murdered by their soldiers, who
seem to be tempted to murder them to get passes-'
eionof the small sums of specie, which the officers
are understood to possess. The rebel soldiers ox
press intense feeling against Jeff Davis and various
members of his Oabinet, and there Is no doubt that
if he or of any or the leaders of the rebellion fall
Into their hands they will fare badly. At last ac

General Wallace's Mission to Texas*
AN ATTEMPT 90 SBPABATB TBXAS FROM THB CON
FBDBBAOY BBFOBTBD INTERVIEW BETWEEN
WALLACE AND THB BBBBL GBN, SLAUGHTas—
THB CONDITIONS OF THB BBPABATXON OtTB
POLICY TOWARDS MEXICO.
The telegraph has already furnished us with the
fact that Gen. Wallace had gone to Texas on a par.
tloular mission, and we now find In our files of Hew
Oilcans papers the details of the mission—the Inter*
view between Wallace and the rebel Gezi. Slaughtor,
commanding- the department, the terms ofiered
the form**, and tnelr reception by the latter. The
Hew Orleans papers derive their authority from the
Galveston and Houston journals. Of course, the
statements we append need confirmation for tbit
very reason. It appears from them that General
Wallace arrived at Brazos Santiago on the 7th or
March, and a few days afterwards sent a flag of
truce to Brownsville to General Slaughter, com
manding at that place, ashing for an interview for
tho purpose of arranging certain military matters.
In this letter, according to to the Houston News
and Telegraphy General Wallaoe said ho was not
authorized by General Grant to present terms, nor
agree to any presented to lilm, but In his conversa
tion he Bald he had been authorized by General
Grant to do so, with the promise to uphold him in
any and all things he should do, and the government
would do as he (Gen. Grant) told It, the same as
tho Richmond government would do whatever
Lee told them. Grant was In fact the President of
tho United States. It waß he who ordered and
commanded, and through his superior military au
thority sustained the government, and he would
not permit it to receive or to dispose of things by
their mere whim. To induce the military authori
ties of the Trans-Mississippi Department to take
this step, Gen. Wallace told Gen. Slaughter that
the Confederate Government had abandoned them
to their fate, and for this reason he preferred to
treat directly with a military general, as it wa3 a
military and not a political question. Gen. Wallace
remarked that thO CCgtraotors and speculators at
the Ntfth, Who had boloii making fortunes
by the war, desired -Its continuance so as to add to
them, but the people were heartily tired of it. He
said the South could not possibly obtain itslnde
pendecce, and he spoke of it as a conquered coun
try, though not In language whloh could be re
garded offensive.
IMPORTANCE OF AN XNTBBVXBW.
The messenger also assured Gen. Slaughter that
the matter was one of the greatest Importance, and
that Gen. Wallace had the fullest power from Gen.
Grant to treat In the premises. The rebel general
then, accompanied by his staff, went to Poiat Isa
bel, where the interview was to be had In private.
Gen. Wallace, also, accompanied by his staff, weft
there, and then Id person Informed Gen. Slaughter'
that he was authorized by Gen. Grant to make a
proposition to the highest military authority of the
department wWok would be of Immense benefit to
them. Gen. Slaughter answered that the Chmeral-
In-Chief was at an Immense distance from Browns
ville, and that it was very difficult to call him there,
but if Gen. Wallace would explain the object of his
mission It should be communicated to him as soon
as possible.
TEXAS TO BB MADE A BASE FOB THE INVASION
OF MEXICO.
Gen. Wallace then proceeded to state that he had
been commissioned by Gen. Grant to propose the
complete separation of the Trans-Mlssisslppl De
partment, and especially the State of Texas, from
the Confederacy; that in exchange Jor this, he and
all officers and the army under him, were to retain
their rank and organization; that they and the
property holders were to be compensated for all
their losses during the war; that they should be
Incorporated Into the Union with all their rights
and institutions except that of slavery, and finally,
that they should co-operate with the forces of the
United States In an Invasion of Mexico, Texas
to serve as the base of operations and sup
plies. General. Wallace added, that by this time
the Confederacy ought to be folly uudeoelved as
to any pfoepeet of recognition by Ftf pee and Mexi
co ; that they ought to be as muon put out with
them as the United States, and as the United Stab?*
was determined to invade Mexico, an opportunity
was thus presented them to avenge themselves upon
France by declaring war on its Interests In that em
pire. General Slaughter answered that neither
Texas nor any other State lu the Confederacy was
disposed to Invade Mexico, nor to beuponbad terms
with France, which was resolved to sustain the
FmpororMaximlUlan at all hazards. It was like
ly, also, that England would be drawn Into the
contest and make common cause with France
and the Empire of Mexico, if the United States
should put lu execution their plan of excluding
all Europe from the new world. At all events, Gen.
Wallace could give theni no £sSttrftpce of the pro
mises he made, for General Grant was not President
Lincoln, and much less the United States. Gen.
Wallace replied : “ That he had been sent by Gea.
Grant on his mission, after consultation with the
Government, but that in reality It was Gen. Grant
who commanded In the North, and that neither Pre
sident Lincoln nor his Cabinet could do anything
without consulting and obtaining his consent, and
finally ttatthoprinclpalobject now before the United
States was to pitch Maximilian out of Mexloo; that
so far from backing out for fear of war with France
and England, In that way, these nations would be
made to lose— Mexico, and the other the Ca
nadas.”
188 MONBOB DOCTRINE, RECOGNITION AND GBBAT
FLEETS.
In the referenoes.to Mexico above, we have fol
lowed the Houston Hews. Colonel Ford, one of the
rebels, writing to a Galveston paper, says.- “I un
derstood by what Gen. Wallace said, that the Go-
Yersp>*n* United Stat&a was determined to
compliance With tho Monroe doctrine,
to deny any recognition of the Government of jui&x
amllllan In Mexico, then to place Mexico under a
protectorate from the United States. The Tjnhsis-
Miselfifirpl Department Is Invited to co-operate In
this work. To effect the purpose, Mr. Lincoln would
send three thousand sblps-cf-war to tho Mediterra
nean In one body. After hearing the particulars of
his plan, I asked Gen. Wallace whether he did not
think the earning out of this might bring on war
between France and England and the United States.
He answered in the affirmative without any hesita
tion.”
END OF THE INTERVIEW.
After these statements of foreign policy and other
matters, General Slaughter was not propared to
decide upon them, but he would send an accurate
account of the conversation to the superior military
authorities of the Department, but that he eould as
sure General Wallace, that, though ail the officers
Of the Trans-Mississippi army should show a dispo
sition to Separate from the confederacy, the Teza.es
afid troops generally would decapitate them hetora
they would agree to it. General Wallace then told
General Slaughter that he should go to Galveston,
on his wav back, in the ship of war which had
brought him to Brazos, and that ho would then
make the same proposition to Major General
Walker.
IT 18 REJECTED WITH DISDAIN.
. The facts of the Interview were placed before
General Walker, at Houston, who disposed of the
matter thus:
“ Houston, March aa.—l reoelvea to-day a com
munlcalion from Brigadier General Slaughter and
Colonel Ford, cf the Confederate army. Informing
me that on the 11th, by your Invitation, they had an
interview with you, at Feint Isabel, under flag of
truce, far the purpose Of fllsoußglng tho means of
'procuring & permanent peado favorable lb both
parties. Accompanying the statement oi the Inter
view is a series of propositions which yon furnished
as a basis of negotiations. Had you furnished
these propositions in advance, I leel assured that
no interview wonld have been held with you oa
the part of the gentlemen who went there on
behalf of the Cenfederaoy, that they, would have
relnsed to disease propositions which, had they
been accepted, would have rendered their memory
eternally Infamous. If I clearly understand your
propositions, they are that we (the Inhabitants of
the trans-Mississippi States) shall lay down our
arms, surrender at discretion, take the oath of alle
giance to the United States, and receive, In reward
for this, amnesty, or some banishment to foreign
lands, whichever our conquerors may see fit to
grant ns. When the States of the trans-Mississippi
united their lot with the confederacy of the South
ern States they undertook to make common cause
with them both In prosperity and adversity. It Is
onr unalterable decision to share the common dan
ger and common fate. With 300,000 soldiers
whom wo now have, we should be the most abject
men in the whole universe If we should now ssr
vllely concede that for Which w« have been fighting
during lour years—that is to cay. our national civil
rights; and with the favor of God we will yet ob
tain this, and force from your Government the ob.
ject of our desire. When It has oorne to the conclu
sion to grant this, and to treat us as equals, you
will not' be redneed to the neeesslty of hunting an
obscure corner of the Confederacy to commence
negotiations.

THE VALUE OF THE CIRCULARS.
It mnst he remembered that all of the above nar
rative of General Wallace's mission and Its results
are those of the rebels, who are defiant, not know
ing of the surrender Of Joe Johnston or Disk Tay

reasons made this decision, and al the officers have

at tho Arsenal, where the conspirators, masculine
and feminine, are now confined. A correspondent
says;
«A large room In the second-story has been fitted
up for the court-room. It is large to hold
fliree hundred persons, and is in the northeast
corner of the building, and has four windows covered
with grated iron bars. Tbe room has a high cell

The London Globe says: The news from America

too soon to estimate the depth and breadth of the
great calamity to America and Europe. Mr.
Lincoln fc*d come nobly through the great
ordeal. He had extorted the approval even
of his opponents, at least on this side of
the water. They had oome reluctantly to ad
mire his firmness, honesty, fairness, and sagacity.
He had tried l* do, aed did what he tried to do, and
wbat he considered his duty, with magnanimity,
He had never called vengeance upon one ladle!dual.
In his dealings with foreign countries and his ex
pression with regard to them he had oome to ba re
markable, because, among American Presidents, he
showed a iastnoss of mien and tone which was not
common. In tho hour when the cause he had la
bored for was about to triumph, and peace
once more prevail over a tom and bleeding
continent, be was shot by a cowardly assassin Who
can say what flood gate this act may not open—to
what other orimes It may not lead.! The future,
however, defies conjecture. All we oan do Is to ex
press the grief we sincerely feel that our trana-
Atlantlc cousins should have been deprived of one
who will henoeforth take rank among the best and
mosthonest of American Presidents,
The £/ar says: The whole civilized world will la
ment the cruel death of President Lincoln. Dying
now that the pro-slavery rebslllon has been put
down and slavery ttMiwfi Its deathblow, he has
accomplished the mission which ho wa? raised to
fulfil, and leaves behind him a pure and spotless
name—the name of martyr as well as patriot,
The Cork Herald also contains an official telegram
from Secretary Stanton to the United States Lega
tion at London. After detalUog an account of
the assassination he says: “The murderer
of the President has been discovered and evidenoe
obtained that these horrible crimes were committed
In exeontlon of a conspiracy deliberately planned
and set on foot by the rebels, under the pretence of
avenging the South, and aiding the rebel cause;
but It is expected the Immediate perpetrators will
be arrested'. It is needless for me to say anything
in regard to the Influences which this atrocious
murder of the Presides t may exerolse upon the affairs
of the country, but will only add that, though horri
ble aftd atrocious. as aro t&4 plans that have
been resolved on fay the enemies or tho oountry, they
are not likely In any degree to Impair the public
spirit, or postpone the complete and final overthrow
of the rebellion.”

NEW TORE CHI.
New York, May 9.
THE CROTON AQUEDUCT DEPARTMENT.
Considerable excitement was apparent among the
city politicians yesterday when it became known
that the Board of Aldermen had suddenly removed
the President and Assistant Commissioner of the
Croton Aqueduct Department, and that Mayor
Gunther had appointed Messrs. Giles and Jeremiah
to fill the vacancies. Some claimed that the Board
of Aldermen had no power to remora Messrs. Ste
phens and Darragh, but on looking in the statutes
they found that the Board had this power. Specu
lations were rife as to the probable “cause” which
led to the removal, but what surprised tho politicians
most -was that the Mayor aotedlnthls matter in per
fect ftCCOrdftnoe With the Board Ql Aldermen and nice
VW&&- Mr. qiiob is a wvU known member of tfafc
Fire Department, an old friend of Mayor Gunther,
and Mr. Jeremiah is one of the most popular mem
bers of ihe Board of Alderman.
Prominent lawyers, who have been consulted in
regard to the matter, say that the question of le
gality is regard to these removals and appoint
ments cannot be doubted, a similar action having
been taken before, In the oase of the Street Commis
sioner’s Department. ~
At about noon, yesterday, Messrs. Giles and Jere
miah were in possession of one of the offices of the
Crctcn Aqueduct Department, and several gentle

her for those eleotrlo bursts of passion, which at

charming and legitimate impersonation. In very
many respeots it is one of the best renditions of one
of the most charming eccentricities of the stage
female which Bnokstone, tho. stageist of Eng
llshdramatists,has overdrawn. The lithe, quick,
and graceful figure of Lnoill* Western, with her
dark eyes and Bair, Imminently adapted, pbyshml

• Ohksthttt-stbbbt Theatre.— The 11 Colleen
Bawn ” was reproduced at this theatre on Monday
evening. An admiring and fashionable audience
attended Its reproduction, and, though the public
must long ago have become familiar with this
drama, no one seems to tire of It.. Miss Sophie
Glmber Kuhn, as Eily O'Connor, la the “ Colleen
Bawfi,” acted spiritedly this somewhat difficult rile,
Her eifiglng was, or course, fjeed, and she rlohly de
serves the popularity she has gained among the
theatrical patrons of our olty. Mr. Frank Mo\
daunt’s delineation ;of the character of Horireaa
Oregon was appreciated by every one present. In
fact, with but few exceptions, the play was exceed
ingly well put upon the stage. The magnificence of
the scenery will doubtless be remembered by those
of our readers who witnessed this dramowben It was
first produced at the New Chestnut. The evening’s
performance concluded with the amusing faroe of
“ My Pleasant Neighbor,” Walter Lennox taking
the principal character.
M& Edwjn Boots, the American tragedian, SO
unfortunate as to be related to a man whose name
will be one of the fouiost known In our American
history, is, we are glad to learn, dally receiving in
New York tokens of the sympathy, and respectful
attention oflarge numbers of his fellow-citizens, In
cluding ladles, clergymen, and Individuals of all the
professßions generally. He is, however, quite
crushed at heart, and desponding, at the over
whelming calamity whloh has made one bearing
bis name eo notorious and hateful to the civilized
world. If, however, assurances of the good will and
sympathy of the good men of the country ean avail
anything, Mr. Booth may be assured that he has
them. Slnee the time when Gain killed Abel,
brethers In blood have been as far apart as Ugh’,
end darkness, truth and falsehood, and a people
who have any sense of justice, ought never to visit
upon the Innocent man who may bear a stained
name the erlme of the guilty one.
Thb Hausted House lw Nkw Yobk.—The
Investigations In regard to the haunted house In
New York, which wo mentioned yesterday, have led
to the discovery of the supernatural being. His
ghostshlp was a eat—a black one, we believe—that
had oontraoted the bad habit of springing from the
kitchen table to the bell wires which passed through
fhe room, and tllU.l frightening a peaceful family.

A Cold is Easily Takbk in this changeable
climate of ours, and without due oars another will
be contracted on top of It, one cold thus running
Into another, until the accompanying cough becomes
settled and confirmed, straining and racking the
lungs, and ultimately stimulating the production of
tubercles. A majority of existing oases of clearly
pulmonary diseases may thus be aooounted
for, and thousands are sew caffilessly allowing
themselves to drift through the preliminary symp
toms, under the fataldelusion that they are troubled
with nothing but a Cold. How obvious is it, then,
that a odd should he taken care of from its Inolpb
escy, pud no effort spared to rid the system of Its
effects ! A curative readily obtainable, and of esta
blished reputation, ean he found In Jayne’s Erpeo

will soon be dissipated. Where the danger is so
Imminent, why not resort at onaa to the standard
remedy! Prepared only at 212 Chestnut street.
