Tlie Soldiers’ Home.
Wc call the attention of our readers to
the appeal in behalf of the Soldiers’ Home,
-which appears in our advertising columns
to-day. It will be seen that it is proposed
to hold a national fair at the Academy of
Music in this city, in October next, for the
purpose of building and endowing this ex
cellent and patriotically-conceived institu
tion. The signatures appended to the ap
peal include the names of some of the most
eminent and liberal among our fellow
citizens, and to their recommendation of
this noble object we cheerfully add our
own.
USTTBR FROM “OCCASIONAL.”
History, which is now being made
with a rapidity that defies human effort
to remember and minutely to record,
will be brightened by some pages,
even if a part of its volumes are
gloomy and revolting. To-morrow and
"Wednesday have been set apart for a
pageant worthy of the pen of Froissart and
Macaulay, and the pencil of David or of
Michael Angelo. Homer or Shakspeare
could not do justice to the valor and en
durance of the mighty hosts who, during
the next two days, will pass in joyous and iu
gorgeous review before the National au
thorities and myriads of grateful people.
Yesterday, Sheridan’s cavalry passed by
the Capitol for hours. It was a most in
spiring sight. There must have been
twenty full bands, on horseback, and
they played With great effect. Cheers
rent the air, as the mighty cavalcade
passed on. The horses and men were in
excellent condition, and the enthusiasm
at the highest. To-day they have a bright
sun, and-are hard at work cleaning and
brushing for the splendor of to-morrow.
As I write you these lines, the 9th Corps
are crossing the Long Bridge, and the
strains of'delicious music, as they mount the
southern side of the Capitol to take their
position on the eastern slope, mingled with
the shouts of the men and the people who
look on the wondrous procession, which
seems never to end, tell how proud and
glad they arc who have fought for the
country. Lung before dawn to-mor
row the other corps will begin to move,
and at 9 o’clock the mighty ocean of living
champions will begin to march. On Wed
nesday the second branch of this brilliant
army will go through the city, and con
clude the dazzling and unparalleled cere
mony. No army in other ages ever con
tended in such a i&use and for such a prize
—not even that which gave us a government
and defeated our foes in the Revolution.
The issues involved were stupendous;
our antagonists were desperate and
inhuman; the field of conflict a continent
of itself, including battles by land and sea;
and the numbers engaged almost countless
masses. These, clothed in the panoply of
war, armed with instrumentalities rendered
awfully destructive by the marvellous in
ventions of modern genius, and marking
their progress with torrents of blood and
hillocks of graves, until thousands of acres
along the rivers that divide the North from
the South, and all over a great part of the
country, were consecrated by the saddest
and holiest souvenirs. As we gaze back
breathless over this drama of war,
we need not marvel that foreign na
tions were amazed at a spectacle so
grand; nor that the dupes who aided
the rebellion should now be conquered;
nor that the people .who gave most to
the Union cause should be over
whelmed by gratitude for .the Providcn
lial intervention which saved them from
the horrors of such a fate as never befell
any nation. And in the same spirit they
acknowledge their debt to the soldiers who
fought this good fight, and achieved this
incalculable triumph. But how shall
we attempt to measure what we owe
to them ? Not by sfleh a welcome as
they are now to get, and as States, and
counties, and cities, will follow, and re
peat, with boundless welcomes and elo
quent tributes. All these are fitting, but
tbey are not sufficient. They neither com
pensate the deserving nor interpret the
popular emotion. "What we shall see to
morrow and Wednesday will only be the
dawning of the ripe fruition of the vow
of a rescued and a thankful country.

WASHINGTON.
[Special Despatahet to The Press. ]
Washington, May 22,18G5.
APPEARANCE OP THE ALLEGED ASSASSINS.
As day after day of the trial goes by, and the
evidence makes it certain to the unhappy people
Who have been concerned in the assassination plot
that their condemnation to death Is certain, most of
them have lost all their first air of bravado, and
cower before the looming future. Mrs. Suratt, ener
getic,wilful, masculine as she looks evennow.day by
day droops, and has during the past two or three days
given every mark of her thorough appreciation of her
awful condition. O’Laughlin. miserable fellow,
has snnk ail the little manhood he ever possessed,
and grows paler day by day, a victim to abject fe*r
and the torturings of remorse. AknoldM indiffe
rence Ib gradually vanishing, to be replaced by keen
ar d acxk us interest, and to It may be said of all the
rest, Patnb alone excepted. He sits in the box
every day, marked prominent among them all. Of
iron build and unblenchlcg face, he is the centre of
observation for every stranger who enters the court
room. He is cool, ca>m, collected—the only one
who actß in anything like a hardy way—markedly
differing from his fellows, who appear weak, de
tected, cowardly criminals.
There IS something extraordinary about .this fel
low. He meets your gaze unflinchingly, and SltS
like some animated statue, seemingly not as much
interested as the spectators who Btand fir hours
eagerly listening to the evidence. It is held by
many that he is deficient la Intellect, bat there is
no proof of tbe fact to be found upon hi 3 front.
His eyes are bright, while defiant, without malice};
his face is sot unprepossessing, and exhibits many
traits of intelligence. His desperation and ektU
are shown in the manner of his blood-thirsty at
tack on Secretary Sbward.
It is expected that the prosecution will very soon
close their cace, but It is not known how much time
will be swallowed spin the defenoe. I hear that
at least two hundred witnesses have been called to
support it*
Hon. .Tour* Shbbman, brother of General SKtiß
man, isnow in this city. He fntrodrieoi the General
to the Committee on the Conduct of the War, and,
whde naturally taking a great interest In his case,
is most earnest in bin efforts to promote the best
feeling between tbe Government and the indignant
soldier. Senator Sbb&man had an Interview of
several hours on Saturday evening with the Secre
tary of War, whose earnest friend he always has'
been and Is. There is no firmer and stronger sup
porter ot President Johnson’s Administration than
John Sherman, and none upon whom he can more
safely rely In the great civil contests before us.
Major General Sherman appeared berore the
Committee on the Conduct of the war this morn
ing, and gave his testimony at length, presenting
the full report of his oampaign, and catered into an
elaborate Berles of answers on the issues growing
out of the celebrated convention with Joa Joan
ston, and in response to the nine answers of
Secretary Stanton to his so-called agreement
with that officer. The report of General Shbr
man will soon appear, and with it the state
ment of his case on the subjeot alluded to.
Gen. Shbbman exhibits great feeling, and seems
resolved to stand aloof from Secretary Stan
ton and General Halluck. Secretary Stanton
bears himself with the equanimity that results
from a consciousness of having done nothing more
than his duty at an hour when the whole country
was agonized at the bare suspicion that the
great campaigns and services of General t
Sherman had ended in what at that mo- (
meat looked like a most Injurious oompro- j
into with, the Toe. General Siieiiman’s course j
wsb not objected to alone by President Johnson }
and the secretary of War, but by ©very loyal J
newspaper and every loyal man throughout the j
country, and much of this feeling took public form,
and at that time the prompt, Incisive, and j
eeeenilal explanations of what looked like the j
purpose of General Shbrman, Bet forth In Stan- j
ton’s reply, was seized upon by the public as j
the assurance that the Government at Washington t
was not blind to its duties. It would now seem j
from General defence that he meant j
>ll frr the best, that he faithfully obeyed the ordow I

of the President. He started the pursuit of Jrff
Davis. Indeed, his friends elalm that but forhjs
arrangements Daves would not have been taken.
General Sbbbman will have tbe full benefit of his
entire statement, and while it is to be regretted that
he refuses to see the necessities of the case that
prompted the Government to act, If the Opposition
expect to use him as a means te destroy and to di-
Vide the great Union party, they will be sadly mis
taken. He is not of their way o! thinking, and never
has been.
GOVERNOR CURTIN.
Governor Cuutik, accompanied by Quartermas
ter General Jambs L. Reynolds, reached Wash
ington on Sunday morning, and has taken rooms
at Willard’s Hotel. Thousands of Pennsylvanians
have already reached tbe city, eager to meet and
erect their friends, and Governor CustiN Is the
object of many inquiries as to the whereabouts of
our brave soldiers. Instead of taking his position
on (he stand near the President’s house, it is the
intention of Governor CtraciN to throw the Penn
sylvania flag' and the stars and stripes from hiß
rooms at Wiliam % where he will be able to see
and to be seen by the Pennsylvania soldiers.
adjournment sine die of the committee
ON THE CONDUCT OF THE WAR.
After hearing Gen. Sherman’s testimony this
mornir-g, the Committee on the Conduct of the
War adjourned sine die. Senator Wadk, the chair
man, has started for his residence in Ohio. The
responses of Gen. Shbrman will be written oat by
Mr, Lord, the stenographer, and alter being re
vised by the General himself, will probably be laid
before thepnbllc.

Mrs. Lincoln and family were to have left this
city this afternoon for Illinois.
THE COKDITION OF THE SEWARDS.
Secretary Sbwaed was at the State Department
again this morning for a short time, attending to
official duties. Fbbdhriok. Seward continues to
improve and is now able to read the newspapers.
THE GRAND REVIEW.
Thousands of persons from distant cities have
arrived here to witness the grand review to-morr
row, and to-morrow’s trains will doubtless Increase
the number.
DEPARTURE OF MAJOR GEN. SHERIDAN.
Mejor General Sbbbidan left last evening for
New York, en route to his new command, whloh In*
eludes all the armies west of the Mississippi. Ge
neral Oanby’s command has been enlarged, and
the department of which General Banks had com
mand, submerged within It, thus relieving General
Banks, Who reports here to the Adjutant General.
POPULAR HONORS TO SHERMAN.
General Sherman, in company with his brother,
Senator Sherman, passed down Pennsylvania
avenue this evening. His appearance caused the
gathering of crowds, who repeatedly. cheered him,
while ladles waved their handkerchiefs. A large
number of persons followed him, and the pressure
soon became so great that he was obliged to call a
carriage to escape the labor of a severe hand*
shaking, which had already commenced.

however, any vessel from a foreign port shall enter
any or the before named exoepted ports In the State
of Texas she will continue to be held liable to the
penalties prescribed by the act or CongreßS, ap
proved on the 18th day of July, 1881, and the per
sons on board of her to such penalties as may be
incurred, pursuant to the laws of war for trading or
attempting to trade with the enemy.
And I, Andrew Johnson, President of the United

A large number of colored servants accompanied

APPKABANCB OF TBB PBOMIHUNT VRISONHRB,
A correspondent who visited Davis & Co., when
they arrived at Port Royal, thus described their ap
pearance and tbe circumstances surrounding them:
“In company with a number of others, Invited

prisoners. We took a small and I can
Lardiy tell you with what emotions I approached
that little area of deck-room having securely within

have been battling 80 long. AS we swung along

van, gaunt, and depressed look, hts whiskers
and moustache rather close cut and almost
white, was walking along the space be
tween the deck-cabin and bulwarks, and stopped for
a moment to caresa a little girl very iadlfforently
dressed, and then passed In at the gangway door.

Washington, May 22.
The Committee on the Conduct of the War to-day
adjourned sine die, submitting their report to the
Secretary of the Senate. Gen. Sherman’s testi
mony was taken to-day.
TBS ABUT OF THE POTOMAC.
The first part of the collected evidence is in re
gard to the Army of the Fctomao, concluding as
follows:
Your Committee could not forbear asking the
witnesses betora them if the army, after all these
tedecitive advantages and retrograde movements,
still retained confidence m Its commanding general.
Various answers were returned to this Inquiry, all
however tending to establish tbe fact that much
discouragement had been felt by the army at these
ineffective operations, and that nut for the highly
intelligent character of the rank and file it could
sever have retained even then its effective condi
tion.
Gen. Fiecsontoß states that the cavalry under his
command oid not retain confidence in tue military
ability of General Meade. General Blrney states
the same about his eorps; stating that while Gen.
Meade was rather Itkeo as a tnan, he was not re
garded as a man cf resolution, or one who is willing
to assume that responsibility required by the posi
tion he occupies.
Gen, Howe states that In his opinion the rank and
file cf the army do not regard Gen. Meade as pos
sessed of the zeal* activity, and energy necessary to
carry on an offensive warfare generally, bathe ad
mits that most of the corps commanders would pro
bably say that Gen. Meade was eminently qualified
for rhe command he now holds. That opinion Gen.
Howe qualifies, however, by stating that so faros
he has observed,.tk© most of the principal officers
of the’Army OI the Potomac, including its com
manding gonera.*, are governed by the sauie sympa
thies, feelings, and considerations which wore in
fueec into the army by Its GGmmander during the
peninsular campnittn.
General Blrney says that many of the principal
officers Believed' that General McClellan was the
only general who could command the army, although
there is not so much of that feeling now as formerly.
General Doubleday bluntly says: Thera has al
ways been a great deal of favoritelsm in the Army
el the Potomac. No man who is an anti-slavery or
an anti-McClellan man can expect decent treat
ment in thatarmy as at present constituted.
General stateß that after the battle of
Gettysburg The army was deprived of many of Its
best corps comsaadders, Gen. Reynolds having been
hilled, Gens. Sleklea and Hancock wounded, and
Gen. Meade made commander of the army; that
ilnce that time tbe corps commanders have not been
all equal to their position, and consequently the
army had been less effective in its operations.
TBE BED-RIVER EXPEDITION.
The oommittte also give the results of their In
quiries into the Red-river expedition, saying, in
conclusion:
Your committee would state that, while the
object had in view by General Halleck In urging
this expedition was a military one, with the expecta
tion perhaps, of accomplishing some important
political result by the occupation Of some point in
Texas, the general commanding the expedition,
Banks, appears to-have had in view the two objects
of carrying outmeasureß for the establishment of a
State Government in Louisiana and of affording an
egress for cotton and other products of that region
of country; and many of tue witnesses express the
opinion, in .which the committee concur, that the
attention directed to the accomplishment of those
objects exerted a most unfavorable Influence upon
tho expedition. This expedition presents many re
markable features. It was undertaken without the
direction of anyone, so far as tbe evidenoe shows.
Tbe authorities at Washington did not furnish the
troops which the general commanding tbe expedition
considered necessary lor the purpose, but suggested
that they might be obtained as a matter from
Gens. Grant, Sherman, and Steele; and It appears
from the evidence that Gen. Sherman “loaned” for
the expedition 10,000 men, for thirty days, nnder the
command of General Smith. The only orders ema
nating from Washington in relation to this expedi
tion, as developed by th© evidence, were those oi the
President contained in a permit he gave to Casey ana
Butler “to go up Red river and purchase cotton,”
In which he directed the officers of the army and
navy to furnish such assistance as might be desira
ble. In the absence of all orders requiring this expe
dition to be undertaken, and after the refusal of the
authoiltitu at Washington tofurnlsh the troops asked
for, it was entered open by the commanding general,
as shown by iheevJaence, against his judgment, and
the belief that it must necessarily fall, and It was
prosecuted at »d tmmeneesaorlfice of life, and of valu
able time, after the development of facts that utterly
preeludfcd ail hopes of success. It did not seek to
accomplish aiy distinctly avowed military object,
and teems to h*ve been conducted without ca
pacity or riisott,line. Its only results, in addition
to (be disgraceful military disaster that attended
h, were 01 a commercial and political charac
ter. Tbe commercial transactions were conducted
from those who ascended Red River by authority of
the President's permit as before stated, and in part
bv speculators, who without any permit or other
jjuthortty, so far as Js shown by tbe evidence of the
Commanding Genera), and upon the headquarters’
beat of the army, bringing with them bagging and
rope for the cotton tbey might secure. Tbe political
transactions were shown by the holding of elec
tions In the camps of the army while engaged In
the expedition with a view of-reorganizing a civil
government in Louisiana. The attempt to do this
was clearly a usurpation on the part of the
military authorities, the execution of whloh was
as weak and inefficient as the attempt was irapro
perand illegal. The report 1b signed by B. F. wade,
übairmaD, Z, OliaiffiUr > Geo. j \V. Julian, B. I . Loan.
D, w. Gucek dissents from tfie viewsof the majority,
coroludloghls report os “ whatever there may have
been of feeling between tbe army and navy in rela
tion to tbe seizure of cotton, an examination of alt
the testimony will Bhow;that the military operations
wtre not delayed or interfered with by the opera
tions in cotton. The delays at the points where
these operations were carried out were occasioned
wholly by other causes. Daring the progress of
the expedition meetings were held at two places,
Alexandria and Grand Ecore, lor the election of
delegates to a Convention, then about to meet, for
the organization ola State GovernmentinLouisiana,
it does not appear that any officer or private, or
any body connected with tho expedition In any way,
interfered wltb or participated in these elections, or
that tbey caused the slightest delay to the move
ment of the army, or influenced or controlled the
expedition in the slightest degree.
THB FORT FIBHEB EXPEDITION.
The Committee, In their report on the Fort F!9her
expedition say: “ From ail the testimony before
them, that tbe determination of Major Gen. Butler
not to assault the fort seems to have been fully jus
tified by all tbefsctßand circumstances then known
or afterwards ascertained. ”
THB LIGHT-DRAFT MONITORS.
The Committee, on the subject of light-draft moni
tors say, “ when it was found that these vowels were
tenures as originally designed and constructed, Mr.
Stimers was removed from the position he had held
in relation to them, and they were plaoed la charge
of other officers and altered as recommended by the
commission appointed to examine them. The five
changed into torpedo boats were altered at a cost of
irom $60,000 to sgo,ooo each. The other fifteen were
altered at a cost of from $BO,OOO to $lOO 000 each,
end with these alterations*they would appear to be
a very serviceable olobb of vessels, though not so
serviceable as they should be, considering the expen
oitue ,f Urns ftaa awe? Hfoa uwit wASUwtfVBi
Except those fitted up as torpedo boats, which were
01 but little utility, your committee cannot refrala
from the expression of tbe opinion that it was un
wlfc to order tbe construction of so many vessels
upon precisely the same plan without first testing
the questions involved by the construction of one or
two, or at least carrying them ao far forward towards
completion as to eraue the Department to under
stand acc remedy the defects wiifl-ti have been shown
to exist In these light-draught monitors.”
THE INDIAN MABSACRB.
The committee having examined the subject of
the massacre of tbe Cheyenne Indians, Bay It la diffi
cult to believe that beings In tbe form of men, add
disgracing the uniform of United States soldle/s,
could commit or oountenarce the commission ol
snob acts of cruelty and barbarity as are detailed
in tbe testimony. There were hostile Indians not
far distant against whom Colonel Cblvlngcon could
have led tbe lorce under his command. They con
clude as fellows: <l Your committee most sincerely
tiust that tbe result of their Inquiry will be the
adoption cf measure* whloh win render Impossible
the employment of offictre, civil and military, such
as have heretofore made tbe administration of In
dian a flail fl Is this country a by-word and a re-'
proacb; and- your committee are of the opinion
tbat. for the purpose ot vindicating the cause of
justice, and upholding the honor of the nation,
prompt and energetic measures should be at onco
taken to remove from office those wbo have thus dis
graced the Government by whom they are employed,
and to punish as their crimes deserve those who
have been guilty of these brutal and cowardly acts.”
