Agricultural Prospects of the In considering the agriculture of the heretofore slaveholding States, the whole subject must assume a new aspect, for between the future and the past there lies the great, the incalculable difference be tween free and Blave, interested and unin terested labor. The effect of the “ peculiar institution” upon agriculture can be seen in the dimin ishing value of the land in many of the States, in the vast plantations surrendered to crops fitted for rude and unskilled arti sans, and in the steadily increasing depend ence of our Southern neighbors on the manufactures and varied occupations of foreign peoples. The simple thought that the laborers must rejoice over a bad crop, and mourn at the prospect of a good one; that all work escaped and all responsibility evaded is a positive gain to the operative, will give us some slight idea of the inefficient quality of the work done. Relying, as we do, for our great successes upon the inte rest of our assistants of every grade, and upon the impulse given to their co-opera tion by the certainty of being sharers in the result, we may well imagine, but hardly realize, the change effected by the with drawal of such a provocative to action. Where the laborer is confident that atten tion, ingenuity, and skill will earn its money value on the spot, he, in fact, rises from a workman to a partner, and the sum given for better work or an “ extra hour” gives the poorest shop-boy a real “ interest in the concern.” If the vast districts of ill-tilled lands throughout the Bouthern States were placed under such a system of cultivation, the sum-total of their great staples, of which they have so long boasted, would fall into utter insignificance before the huge crops of sugar and rice, com and, cotton, raised by the exertions of free men. Imagine the difference between a planta tion scratched by the hoe of the slave, perhaps Insufficiently fed and driven to his work by the whip, and the same land un der the culture of a skilful farmer, with all his knowledge of soils and manures and his entire paraphernalia of implements. . Not exhausting the land by had tillage and the workmen by overwork, not mortgaging the coming crop for food, clothing, and luxuries in a far-away market, but accom plished in all’ the self-sustaining arts of our Northern industry. Then, indeed, may the country be truly .called “the sunny- r South;” then its immense re sources of agricultural and mineral wealth will at last be adequately cultivated, cities and manufactories will he erected, rail roads built, and wealthy farmers, with moderate-sized domains, will replace the poor plantation-holder, whose boast was that he must ride ten miles to visit his next neighbor. While the staple commodities will thus be multiplied in value, it is to be hoped that the exports cwill no longer be confined to raw materials, and that the Bkill for which our nation is distinguished will find new fields and an additional im pulse to exertion in the direction of manu factures. 1865. The commodities on which they have hither to relied are not the only products to be hoped for. North Carolina has already found a fortune, among her pines, and bet ter educated labor will increase it. But, in addition, the climate and soil are fitted to other cultures. Even in the present ne glected condition, the oranges- of Florida are considered the best in the world, and the cultivation of that tree would find a ready return, for our own country alone annually imports the fruit to the value of one half million of dollars. Other States besides Florida can raise the orange abun dantly. Wine has been made from the earliest times of colonial enterprise, and with suc cess, as regards quality, in every State of the South; silk has had the same story, the same success, and the same fate—neglect. It is perhaps fair to infer that the success was due to the soil and climate, and the failure subsequently to want of skill and care in tillage. A gTand vesta for enter prise is opened by the many untried pro ducts. What may be produced in favora ble spots of situation and soil in their sub tropical climate is a matter for future con sideration and trial, but it has already been demonstrated that the Chinese tea-plant readily adapts itself in South Carolina. For speedy remuneration to trifling out lay, both of labor and money, the culture of garden vegetables offers an enticing prospect. How little attention has been paid to this matter, notwithstanding the extraordinary fitness of the soil, is seen in the fact that when the census fixed the value of market gardens in the North at twelve millions of dollars, those at the South were stated at but three millions! And all our readers who remember how in the old times of peace we welcomed the Bermuda potatoe in the early spring, and how Southern peas delighted our palates long before they could he perfected in our own vicinity, will know that a ready market awaits such products in our cities. New Publications. ‘•Tbs Martyr President,” published by G, W. Carlton, New York, Is an unusually feeble poet ical attempt to express grief, Indignation, and horror at the ioul deed whteh-snatohed Mr. Lin coln away from tMs lire, at the moment when he had beaten down miserable rebellion—the sta tue with front of brass and feet of clay. It Is from the pen of Mr. K. H. Newell, of 'New York, ( ‘ Orpheus O. Kerr”), who is capable ofmuoh better things. His selection of a light, danolog metre, for an elegiac poem, is singularly injudicious. Be cslved frcm G. W.

These testimonials have been received by General Draper, commanding the brigade of whlott' these regiments are a part, and through whom they will be presented to the brave men, who have faith fully earned this acknowledgment from the Govern •ment. Major General Weltzel, commanding the Corps, has been ohosen to make the presentation speech. TBE NEGRO TROOPS. The colored corps Is now posted near City Point, where It has gone Into a camp of Instruction. The 36th and 88th Beglments have done good service, and the Government manifests Its appreciation of their worth by foreshadowing a policy which Is like ly to continue all negro troops In the service until their term Of enlistment expires. THE REGULAR OFFICERS, Those who are lieutenants and eaptatns in the re gular army, but who have been brigadiers and ma. jor generals In the volunteer service, do not like the Idea ot coining dawn from their greatness; and, In order to avoid such a mortification, many officers who heretofore manifested nothing but oontempt for negro discipline and valor, and especially for those who commanded them, have signified their willingness to accept positions In the sable military establishment. It is hardly to be expeoted that the brave war-scarred gentlemen, who have made the negro a soldier under such perilous circum stances, will be mustered out to afford tbe officers of the tegular army commands equal to their rank in tbe volunteer service. Officers who refused, as they declared, from principle, to enter the colored oorps, should not, for the Bake of position, be permitted to compromise with their prejudices. There are many persons of the regular army who have commissions In the negro servloe, who have contributed greatly to Its present efficiency, who, as an aet of justice to 'hem, and all others engaged in so difficult a task, should be continued as long as they are worthy of he positions. RBOAPB OP RICE TUBKBR PROM LIBBY. It Is not without considerable regret (hat I an nounce the escape of the notorlonß Dick Tnmcr from t'-« Libby Prison, on night’before last, by breaking or removing one of the Iron bars which separated* him from the street. This man was one of the un. der-strappers or keepers of Libby In rebel times, and exoelled all tbe other barbarians In lnfllotlng the most brutal and murderous treatment upon Union prisoners. It Is hardly possible for an Individual to achieve as much Infamy ln.a similar position as has fallen to the share of Tomer. His place or confine ment was under ground—his feed bread and water, and a sentry was posted before his door to prevent such a misfortune as has taken place. As no guard was In front of the building, on the pavement, It Is possible that some assistance was famished by sym pathizing friends from .the outside, who afforded him shelter and food. The Libby has recently been used as a eamp of distribution, and with tbe exception of Turner, Judge Onld, and Captain Hatch, the Hebei Co'&mlßsloners of Exchange, no other persons are confined there. OABTLB THUNDER. Castle Thunder Is used by-the authorities as the military prison, and affords a securer place for criminals than Libby, having been fitted np for that purpose. It is dne to the authorities to state that since Dick’s escape, a sentry has been posted In front of his place Of confinement. He has not been ar rested yet, nor Is there much likelihood of hls recap* ture where he has so many hiding places among the rebels of Virginia. ABRBST OP HxmTRR. R. M. T. Hunter, ex-U. S. Senator, was arrested a few days since In Essex county, by a guard scut to look him up. It Is not known whers he Is eon* fined or whither he has been sent. GOVERNOR PIBRPOHT. It Is now understood tbat Governor Pierpont will arrive in this city on the 18th Inst., when he will immediately locate hls Government here. Bolliit. [Special Correspondence of .The Presa.l Philadelphia Pkbss Bureau, Richmobd, May 11,1866, SALS OP QOVEBBMBST EOESBB AirD-KULES. Yesterday a large number or condemned horses and mules, belonging to the Government, were dis posed of to the highest bidder. The number of anl* mate sold and the eoarolty of the legal-tender com bined to afford excellent bargains to those who were prepared for instant settlement. The war has de prived the farmers In Virginia of nearly, If not en tirely, all their stock, and the Government Is giving them suoh opportunities to commence anew as are, within the ability of the humblest tillers of the soil- Mules and horseß were knocked down at very rea sonable rates, and the citizens were generally satis fied that they had good bargains.. A good deal of private Btock was also sold at satisfactory figures. THE POHTOOH BRIDGES, The pontoon bridges which span the river between this city and Manchester were washed away early yesterday morning by some heavy pieces of timber coming against them, which the sudden rise from the recent heavy rains forced from their moorings on the Richmond shore. - Not much, If any, of the bridge was lost. The engineers soon rennitedthe struoture, and uninterrupted communication was had with the village of Manchester. The rapidity with which this breach was repaired Is but another evidence of that enterprising spirit In the American army, which has ever been equal to the emergency. A COMICAL HABBIAGB. Quite a large concourse of persons were assem bled at the Colored Episcopal Ohuroh, on Third street, last evening, to witness the marriage of a loving couple. The groom and bride, with a long train of delegatfid.attendants, in all the parapher nalia of fashion, came In carriages, whloh attracted no little attention as well as created some sensation In the neighborhood. The groom, with a light step, leaped from his seat and assisted out his smiling bride, who had, bo doubt, long prayed for that hour- The long retinue of groomsmen and bridesmaids followed tbe happy pair down the aisles to the altar, where Bev. Mr. Gladman was waiting to perform the ceremony, in the presence of a large concourse of friends and spectators. The minister oleared his throat, arose with solemn oonntenanee, looked complacently upon the couple who stood before him, and asked for the license from the military authorities. The groom Immediately replied he had it, and putting his hand qulokly into one of his pookets, and then in another, until huge drops of perspiration began to ooze forth, and a gloom of the most unpleasant forebodings began to settle upon the bridal party. All eyes were now turned towards the groom, and every moment they expected to see the magic paper oome forth, but, to the utter astonishment of every onei he at length found voice enough to Bay that he had left the license at home. There was a general murmur of merriment at this Intelli gence, which the groom pretended not to notice, and started In person for that Important document. The Interim was spent In laughing over the inci dent, and on bis return every one expected to see a happy Issue out of this affliction, but was somewhat startled when he Informed the parson that he oould not And his license. Amid the suppressed amuse ment of those assembled, the bridal party were obliged to return to their carriages and their homes, with many regrets that the military authorities require the observance of certain restrictions. Ge neral orders No. 4 contains the following extract pertaining to matrimony: fIBKBBAL OBDBB 80. 4. V. No marriage license will be Issued until the parties desiring to be married take the oath of alle giance to the United States, and no clergyman, ma gistrate, or other person, authorized by state laws to perform tbe marriage ceremony, will officiate in such capacity until he himself and tbe parties con tracting matrimony have taken the prescribed oath of allegiance. VI Any person noting In violation of these orders will be arrested, and a fall account of the case re ported to these headquarters. By order of Major General Halleek: J. O. Kbltoh, A, A. G. A DISLOYALIST XGKBSTaD, John G. Watkins, an inhabitant of Powhatan connty, yesterday avowed the most disloyal sen timents. The renegade w%a soon- arrested by the prevest guard, whose authority he was a little dis inclined to respect, but a couple of persuaders In the form of six-shooters, had a most exoellent effect in convincing Watkins that discretion Is the better part of valor. Be was lodged in Castle Thunder, where better men for a nobler cause have suffered and died. A public ball is announced to oome off next Wed nesday evening, 17th Inst., under such military pro tection as will Insure good order. A pleasant time and a large crowd are anticipated. Tickets are sel ling at two dollars each. connmoH op teas post oppicb. The post office here has not yet got Into regular working order. At present It is but very little more than an army concern.

Tbe English Parliament on the 1 Assss siuntton. SrBHOHBS BV BABL RUSSELL, THE EARL OP DBEBV, SIB G QBUT, AND MB DIBBABLL [House of Lords, May I.] Earl Russell rose and said: Mr Loans : I rise to ask yoer Lordships to sddress her Majesty, praying her Majesty tbat In any communication she may be pleased to make, expressing her abhorrenoe of tbe great crime which has been committed In Ameri ca by the assassination of President Lincoln, her Ma jesty may at tbe same time be pleased to express tbe sorrow and Indignation felt by ns at the great crime which has recently been committed. My. Lords, her Majesty bas already directed me to express to the Government or the United States the shock which she felt when tha Intelligence reached this country of this great crime, and also ot her sympa thy with tie Government and people of the Uniced States. Her Majesty also has been pleased to write a private letter to Mrs. Lincoln—[cheers] —express ing her sympathy wlih her on her great and sadden bereavement. I think your Lordships will agree with me In saying that In modern times there has hardly been any crime of bo horrible a character committed ” Earl Russell tbon proceeded to give a warm and eloquent enlogium on the private and publla character of the late President Lin coln. Aftei this he continued as follows: “At the beginning of this war the House will remember President Lincoln declared that he hod no right 'by the Constitution to interfere with slavery. At a later period he made a kind of decree, as com mander In oblef, In which he proposed tbat In cer tain Slates the slaves should be entirely freed. But at a later period he proposed that which he was constitutionally qualified to propose—that there Should be an alteration of the Constitution of the United States, by whloh the holding of Jiersons to labor by compulsory means was to be orever hereafter forbidden. Many persons were eager for the Immediate abolition of slavery. But I remember Lord Macanley once ob serving, tbat although It would have been a great blessing if the penal law against Roman Catholics had been abolished In Sir R. Wal pole’s times, yet he would have been mad to have proposed such a measure. So with regard to President Lincoln. Whatever might have been the horrors of slavery, he was peneotly jnstlfied In delaying the time when that great alteration in tbe law should be proposed. Bat whatever we may think on this subject, we must all feel that the death of President Lincoln deprives the United States or the man who was the leader on thlß sub ject, and the man who by hls temper would have oeen disposed to propose such measures as might .make this great change aoeeptabie, and who might have preserved the peace of that great Republlo under an entirely new Constitution- My lords, we nnst all feel sympathy with the United States on this deprivation, and hope tbat he who suoceods ac cording to the American Constitution to the powers of the President may be able, both In respect of mercy and lenity to those who have been conquered, and also In respeot to those measures to be adopted' for that new organization tbat the abolition of slavery requires; we mnst all hope that the new President may succeed In nveroomlog those diffi culties, and In restoring the Republic to Its pristine prosperity. I bad, at the commencement of tnls con test, occasion to say tbat I did not believe that that great Republic would parish In the oontest; and my noble friend at the head of the Government Shad lately occasion to dlsolalm any feeling of animosity or envy at the greatness and presperity of the United States. The coarse which her Majesty's Government pursued during this civil war has been one of neutrality. There have bean dlßloul ties which have ooonrred to us, and whloh have occurred, to the Government of the United States, In maintaining the peaceful relations of the two countries; but these difficulties have always been treated with temper and moderation on both sides of the Atlantic. I trust that temper and modera tion will continue, and I can assure this house that, as we have always been aotnated by tbe wlsb tbat tbe American Government and the American people should settle their differences without any Interference of ours in the conflict of. arms, so, likewise, we mast refrain from any kind of Inter ference or Intervention, and frost that the ef forts to be made for that purpose will be suc cessful. I have notting, of course, to say of tbe successor of President Llnooln. Time must show bow far he Is able to conduct these difficult matters which the wisdom of hls predecessor was so well calculated to bring to a satisfactory result.. All I oan say Is, tbat in sight of this great calamity, In slghtof this great orime, the crown, the Parliament, and the people of this country feel not only the deepest sympathy with the Government and the people of the United States, hat that our relations of kindred with them Induce us to feel the misfor tunes of the United States more than we should the mlsfoiinnes of any country on the face of tbe globe. The noble lord conolnded by moving that an hum ble address be presented to her Majestyrbxpreaslng the sorrow and Indignation of that House at tbe as sassination of tbe President of the United States, aid praying her Majesty to communicate these sentiments on thepart of that House to the Govern ment ol the United States. [Hear, hear.] SFBBCH OV THU BABL OF DKRHY. The Earl of Derby—My lords, when ihe noble Earl announced hls Intention of bringing forward this motion,-1 ventured to express my nope that her Majesty’s Government had well considered Its form, so that nothing would Interfere with that unanimous assent to It It was desirable tbat 'this house should give. It would have been more satisfactory to my tnlnd if the noble Earl had Intimated to us upon what grounds they had proposed this unusual oenrse of addressing the Crown to convey to a fo reign Government the. sentiments of Parliament wltn reference to this event. The more regular course would have been to have moved a resolution of this House, in conjunction with the other House of Par liament, expressive of those feelings whloh it is pro posed to place In the form of an address to the Orowß, But lam SO desirous thereehallnot’appaar tbe slightest difference of opinion upon this SUbjeot, that I will not (hear)—hesltate-to give my assent to this form. [Hear, hear.} In expressing onr sor row and indignation at the atrooioaß crime by which the United States have been deprived of their ohlef magistrate, yoar lord ships will only follow the universal feeling ot sympathy expressed from one end ot the country to the other; and If there be In the United States any persons who believe that there is an unfriendly feellngln this country towards the citizens of the United States, I think they could hardly have a moreccmplete refutation of that opinion—[cheers]— conveyed-In what I hopewlU be the unanimous declaration of Parliament. [Cheers.] Whatever other mlslortnne may have attended this atrocious crime, one good effect may have resulted from it— that the manner In which the announcement' of It has been received In this country win satisfy the United States tbat her Majesty’s subjsots, one and all, deeply oondemn the orime, and deeply sympa thize with the feeling of the United States la the deprivation they have experienced. For the crime Itself no palliation can be offered. There may be a difference of opinion as to the merits of the two parties who are contending, hut. there la and can be no difference of opinion as to this—that the holiest and purest of all causes Is desecrated and defamed by any attempt to promote It by a measure so Infamous. [Cheers.] If It were possible to believe the Confederate authorities en couraged, sympathized with, or even did not ex press their abhorrence at this crime, I should say they bad committed worse than a crime—a gross blan der—because a cause that required to be promoted by the crime ol'assassination loses all sympathy, and alienates every kindly feeling toward Itself. But I am well Satisfied that this detestable act of assassination Is so entirely alien to the whole spirit in which the South have conducted this war, [cheers.] that, apart from the error of judgment involved In sanctioning such a orime, they cannot have been guilty of so great a blunder, and at the same time must feel that no step could have Inflicted so great an Injury on thelrown oause. I will not ven ture to follow the noble earlinto the slight discussion originated with regard to the Internal politics or the United States. I will not even express any opinion as to the question whether the late defeats, appa rently fatal to the oause ol the South, are likely to lead to an early termination of the war. In what ever way that war may be terminated, It la the de sire of every Iriend of humanity that It be termi nated soon. I not only lament the loss of a man who certainly has conducted the affairs of that country, under clroumstances of great difficulty, with singular moderation and prudence ; but I also agree with tbe noble Earl that the death or suoh a man, in such a manner, and at each a time, is not c-nly a snbjeot ol the deepest abhorrence, bat that It is a serious misfortune. Tnerorore I say, not only In the fact of the president of a great country being suddenly deprived of life, but also In the oireum stancea under which the crime was committed, I see the deepest cause for lamenting the occurrence that has taken place, and I am quite sure that, In dependently of all poutleal motives, we are express ing no less the Individual feelings of the House than oi the oouniry at large, In viewing with horror, de testation, and Indignation, the orime by which the President of the United Btates has been deprived of life. [Load cheers.] The motion was put and carried nomine con tradU emte. SPEECH OF HB. DISBABLI. (Ix the House of Commons, M&y l J Mr. Disraeli. Sir: Ttere are rare Instances when the sj mpathy of a nation approaches those tenderer feelings that,generally speaking, are supposed to be peculiar to the individual, and I think this is one of them.

But In the character of the victim, and In the very accessories of his almost latest moments, there is something so homely and so Innocent that it takes the subject, as it were, out of the pomp of history and the ceremonial of diplomacy. It touches the heart of nations, and appeals to the domestic senti ments of mankind. [Hear, hear ] Sir, whatever may be the varying opinions of this Honse and country generally, of the pollay of the late Presl. dent ol the United this all mgst be agreed, that In a trial which, more than any other, tested the moral quality of the man, heperioraed his duty with simplicity and strength. [Hear, hear.] Her is ic possible for the people of England to forget that he sprang from the same fatherland, and spoke the same mother-tongue. [Hear, hear.] When crimes of this character are perpetrated the pnbllo mind is apt to lalVluto gloom ana perplexity; but assassination has never changed the history 01 the world. I will not refer to instances of remote antiquity, although au accident has made the most memorable example of those times familiar at this moment to the mind and memory of most gentlemen present. Whllelseoond the address to the crown, and express upon my own part feelings of unaffected and profound sympathy with the citizens of the United States, I would not sanction any sentiment of depression. I would rather take this opportunity or expressing my fervent hope that frem these awful years of trial the various populations of North America may come out elevated, chastened,' rich in immaculatlve wisdom, and strong lu that disciplined energy which a yonng nation oau only acquire in a protracted and perilous struggle! Then will he open to them not merely the same course of power and prosperity which they have heretofore pursued, but they will pursue that course of power and prosperity for the general sappiness of mankind. [Hear, hear 1 It Is with these feel ings, sir. that 1 now second the address Co the Crown. [Loud and general eheering ] The motion was then put by the Speaker, and carried unanimously. [From the London Times May 2 ] The American residents In London yesterday did fitting honor to the memory of their late President. Mon in their position are more than usually sensl ■’ ive to patriotic Impressions. When people live at home, seeing few but oountrymen, dtstraoted by party politics and engaged to some extent in every public transaction, patriotism, though a strong Is a quiescent feeling. But abroad their country Is too 'ar away to be ever out of their thoughts. The pre sence ol a strange nationality leads them by eon irast to dwell upon their own; association and mu tual friendly sendees bind the little community to gether by a bond of whloh national feeling supplies ’-tielinks, and anything that’ affects the common; country finds them united and almost unanimous. What wonder, then, that the Americans In Lon don should have been prompt to mark the sense of the bereavement which their nation has snstalnedl It was hut natural that the United States Minis ter should see lu Mr. Lincoln the representa- i live Of the country—the servant, Indeed, rather ; than the leader. Mr. AdamS'has been engaged amlliariy In the transactions of this'war. He has known the Ideas with whloh It was begun, the changes whloh came over men’s minds as it ad vanced, the new views taken by politicians of all parties In his own country, and the effect which the Tremendous succession of events produced at home and abroad. He may, then, fairly oonslder Mr. Lincoln the embodiment of the national resolu tions, as a man through whom the Bepubllo spoke at each crisis of its fortunes. But this oertunly does not detract from his merits. If the North has achieved anooess, It has been mainly by his means. If it spoke through him, it was only bacansa his own feelings were those of the gTe&t mass of his seotlon of the Bepubllo.' What ever fame belongs to a sue ceesfnl statesman Is his, for from the first days of, his assumption of offloe he devoted himself to the 1 policy whloh has now triumphed. He dooiarod nts Intention of retaking the forts and property of the United States; he called out 76,000 volunteers, and then hundreds of thousands; he Issued thoprDola mai ion emancipating the slaves; he boro up against all the discouragement produced by two years of constant defeat; and In ail this he Is said to have taken hls own Hue, and to have been In reality, as he was in law, the head of the Government.

Vice President Schneider called on M. Rouher, Minister of State. M. Rouher said: An odious crime has plunged a friendly nation Into profound Erie!. Tie news ol the assassination of President Llnooln has produced a sentiment of Indignation and horror throughout the olriUzed world. Abraham Lincoln bad, during tbe painful struggle whloh distraoted hls country, displayed' that indomitable courage and energy which belong only to Intellects of a blgh order. Generous, mode rate, and conciliatory— [applause]—he was pre parleg, the day after tne victory, to roatoresploudor and presperity to America. [Renewed applause.] The proofs of sympathy mantiested throughout Eu rope will be received by the American people as a consolation and encouragement. The Emperor’s Government has sent to Washington an expression ot its legitimate regret. M, Rouher then read the despatch sent by M. Drouyn de l’Huys, Minister of Foreign Affairs, to the French Minister at Washington. Paeib, April 80.—Sib : The news of the criminal attack on President Lincoln has oansed the I tnpe rlal Government a proround sentiment of Indigna tion. Hls Majesty Immediately charged one of hls aids-decamp to wait on the Minister of the United States In Paris, to request him to transmit to Mr. Johnson, the- present President, the expression of bis sincere condolence. I wished myself, by the despatch I addressed to yon- yesterday, to make known without delay my palnrul emotion, and-to day,-conformable to the Emperor’s Intention, I ren der a well-merited homage to the memory of the great citizen whom the United States deplore. Ele vated to theflrft rank in the Republic by the suf frages of. hls fellow- citizens, Mr. Lincoln used the power Intrusted to him with that firmness for which he was distinguished, as well as foi the elevation of hls principles. Thus ■ hls vigorous soul never sank under tbe trials reserved for hls Government. At tbe moment when an execrable orime hurried him away from tbe mission which he was executing with the religious sentiment of duty, he had the consola tion to know that the triumph of bis polloy was effec tually secured. Hls proclamation, though stamped with moderation, showed hls determination to re organize the. Union and establish peaee. Tula su preme satisfaction was not granted to him, but tnia last proof of hls wlEdom, generosity, courage, and patriotism has placed him among those most ho nored bv the country. I transmit this despatoh by orderjßthe Emperor to the Minister of State, to be communicated by him to the Senate and Oorps Le gislatin'. All France unites In feeling wltn his Ma jesty. Deouvk nEL'Huvs. The reading of this despatch was followed by Im mense applause. M. Rouher added that this despatch requlred.no comment. The Emperor, the public bodies, and all France, were unanimous in their reeling of reproba tlon of the deteßtable crime, and In their ardent wishes for the re-establlshment of harmony and concord In the great and patriotic American nation. President Schneider said he would be tbe inter prefer of their feelings In publicly expressing the grief and Indignation whlon they all felt. They had associated themselves with the feelings and sympathies which had been manifested by tue Go vernment [Cries of ’• Yes, yes,” "Tory well.”] Galled on to direct tha affairs or the country at au over memorable period of artels, Mr. Abraham Lln ooln proved himself to be eqnal to the difficult mis sion. Hls last act was tbe orownlng of tbe life of an honest man and of a great oltlzen. France ardently desired tbe re-establishment of peaae In that great nation, her ally and her friend. May our prayers be heard, and may Providence put an end to each palatal trials! [Unanimous approbation.] It Is, therefore. In the highest sense of reprsenta. tlon that Mr. Llnooln represented the Northern States during the present oontest. Every Amerlaan may be eontent to see In him a bold leader who did what thousands would have shrank from, what no toriously SOISS Of the most experienced politicians In tbe country shrank from. But there U a port of his character nhich at this time will command even more admiration than his firmness and courage . He teas not only the most determined in policy, hut he was the least swayed by passion of all the leading stated nunof his party. There is no utterance to be record ed of him which could offend the Government of any other country or could shock humanity , He was no ver captious, nor defiant, nor menacing. Any tndis cretion of his military or naval subordinates he promptly repaired, and, as far os he could, 'he ended vorea to keep peace with all the world. But it is his policy towards the vanquished Confederates which will chiefiygiveMm honor. He has been, beyond all doubt, oneofihemostmoderatemen in the United Slates in his ideas of the treatment which the South should re ceive. * * *- *' • * r For the present we can only join the Amerlaan community In their regrets. They do not require to be told how deep Is tbs sympathy of the British r ation. Prom the Queen to the humblest oltlzen there has been bnt one voice.

Dear Bbo. B : I thought It high time to Reap my promise and send you a letter, and at this time It might oe desirable bb there are many false reports lu the papers charging me with violation or orders In shooting Booth. But my commanding officer of the expedition not only clears me irom alt blame, but recommends me to the attention of', the Oommandlng General for my exertions lu bringing the murderer to justice. He was a despe rate man, and fully determined to die rather than to be taken alive, and it was only when actually neces sary that I shot him. When I first saw him by the light of the burning hay, he turned toward the fire, either for the purpose of putting It out, or else of shooting the one that set It on fire. I was on that side, and then be was quite sear to me, and I had a full front, breasivlew. It would have boon much easier to have hit him then than when I did; but 1 waited till I was satisfied his purpose was to use his arms and try and fight his way out of the door through which Harold had just been taken. Then I fired on him, and he fell; and when I saw where the ball had struck him, in the neck near the ear, It seemed to mo that Clod had directed the ball, for apparently It was just- where he had hit the Presi dent.

Major Burns Is a cripple, having lost the left leg In the army, and after the assassination was employed as a deteotlve to assist In ferreting out the guilty parties. How it happened that he se lected Carroll as his "bird” has not trans pired. Dressing himself as an Indigent sol der, with his crutch and cane and a paper from a Government official, requesting provost marshals along the route of travel to afford the “ posr sol dier” sooli assistance as he might need, Major Burns started on the pursuit. He first learned Of Oarroll at Alexandria, and then slowly hut surely followed the track until he learned that the accomplice had a relative at or near Delphos, Ohio, when the Major went directly to that place. There his letter of recommendation secured him much attention from these able to lend him pecuniary aid, and enabled him to look about town without exciting suspicion that he had any special business.

The terms of sale of the seoond series, amounting to 9230,000 .000, were made known to onr readers yesterday, and, though probably not as fa vorable to Investors as the previous Issue, It will doubtless meet with general approbation, and the whole loan will be absorbed within sixty or ninety days. That Hr. HeOnllooh expeots an early return to the specie baslß Is evidenced In the faot that he reserves the privilege or paying the Interest of the ECCOBd eerlOß In gold at six per cent., rather than In ourrenoy In seven and three-tenths. The Govern ment and people are alike Interested In the speedy return to the speele standard, and, under the present able management of the national finances, that event may be expeoted as an event of the not far distant future. The stock market oontlnnes exceedingly depressed especially for all the fanoy and hitherto exolteable stocks. The oils are espeolally dull, and to effect sales, a luge concession In prloes must be made. There Is a general anxiety to. get rid of present stocks, but purchasers fail to come forward under any inducement. As to the petroleum business Itself, It Is said to be In fair condition, and much activity prevails at the wells. The present dally yield ortho Venango region is estimated at five thousand bar rels. Over five thousand wells are In oourse of dig ging or contracted for. These wells will cost an average of 98,000, whioh will Involve an outlay of 950,M0,000 But It Is not likely that the market win receive any considerable additional supply, from this source, under three months. The following were the iiuot.allons.-fc*_»-M '..w* 11 A. H 130 12 M 13011 1 P. M ....ISO# 3 P. H 130 4 P. M 129}f The subscriptions to the seventy-thirty loan re ceived by Jay Cooke yesterday amount to 94,751,800, Including one of 9300,000 from Fourth national Bank, New York; one of 91,000,000, from Henry Clews & Co., New York; one of 9100,000, from the Frankling National Bank, Colnmbns, Ohio; one of 960,000, from Farmers’and Mechanics’Bank, Buf falo, and one or 9100,000, from First National Bank, Cincinnati. There wore 3,416 Individual subscrip tions of 960 and 9100 eaoh. From this time It Is estimated that the imports will yield more gold than will pa; the Interest upon the nations! debt, Including all the seven-thirties to he funded. The expenditures are decreasing, the taxation daily more thorough, and In a short time all the direct and Incidental expenses of the rebellion will have been funded, and the aggregate be an nounced at a figure which will not startle the na tion for whose benefit It was made, nor will' it hurt our eredlb In the eyes of capitalists out of the coun try. The home value of the national credit Is best shown b; the demand for seven-thirties from small Investors, who are to be taxed In future to maintain It. No national debt ever had so sore a foundation, and large as It Is will be paid In full, while the debts of England, France, and of the Continent generally will steadily grow hopeless of any payment. The advloes from England are rather unfavorable In regard to the grain crop, and It Is not unlikely that during the summer months we shall have an export demand for breadstuff? at moderate prices- Many balanees are returning from the other side, and the May Interest in a large number of oases Is being Invested In our securities. This will even tually eanse a further decline In the premium on gold. The Treasury Department, according to a Wash ington correspondent, is in recelptof official advloes from onr Consuls at Beilin, and Frankfort, stating the elreumstanoes under which the rumor got Into circulation of there being counterfeit United States bonds upon the European market. It seems that in addition to the usual public stocks on the German market, there was a new Prussian loan being put off by the bankers—or rather strenuous efforts were making to shove It upon the market, but so muoh greater was the popularity of the United States bonds that nothing could he done In home stocks, and the olronlars Issued with, the insinuation that there were fraudulent bonds in olrcntatlon, was a mere brokers’ dodge to aid the sale of horns secu rities. The Imposition was Immediately exposed, and had not the slightest Infinenoe upon the sale or market value of our bonds. There are now held In Germany alone above *300,000,000 of our Five twenty bonds -, and so large a balance has this enormous demand for our securities given us in gold exehango, that, for weeks past, exchange has been one half per cent. In onr layer. The United States 6-20 loan Is admitted to be the most popular of all other loans upon the European markets. Large orders are constantly made upon the Lemon, Paris, and London bankers for them, from Norway, Sweden, and Bnssla. The joalousy whloh this con dition of the market naturally exoltes, added to the growing apprehension of English financiers that the drain of gold will Inevitably turn toward the United States In such quantities as to eerionaiy dis turb their own monetary system, fully accounts for all the unfavorable erltlelsms of the Eu ropean press upon American securities. It Is a source of gratification to our Government that those European capitalists who bad faith In our cause in the darker days of our struggle, have lived to see the securities they purchased freely at 46, rise in the London market to S 3, netting them a profit on their earlier Investments ef nearly CO per cent.
