Lying to the Last; There is a difference, so great as to be ■almost organic, between the British and the American press, in one respect. Ame rican editors of any character and stand ing are remarkably well “ posted-up” upon foreign politics and foreign persons of note, •whereas scarcely any British editor stands •clear of the charge of writing upon Ame rican subjects with an ignorance which is at once enormous and ludicrous. An ex ample of this has just occurred. The Morning Herald is the special organ of the Earl of Derby and the Parliamentary Op position, declaring that the party is the most patriotic in the world, and that its leader is “ Wisest, vlrtucusest, dlsoreetest, best,” among modem statesmen. This same He rald is old enough to have learned some, thing, having been established in 1781 — exactly nine years after the Morning Post-, the private property and personal organ of Lord Palmerston, which first appeared in 1778, and is the Nestor of the London Press, just as the Herald is its “Mrs. Gamp,” and the Standard its “Mrs. Har ris.” Having in a manner endorsed, by accepting, the advocacy of the Morning Herald, it is strange that Lord Derby has not taken the precaution of having it sup plied with a foreign editor who knows something about men and things in the United States. It has written “with the greatest audacity,” (as Talleyrand said ■when describing how V ellington spoke Preach,) but with the greatest igno rance upon American affairs, during the last four years, perpetually falsifying facts and uttering the wildest predictions as to the early and permanent successes of the. rebellion, and, even now, when that game is played out, cannot resist the temptation, after all its ruin, to tell its credulous readers that the Confederacy is still a Power and Jefferson Davi3 a Potentate. On the Bth of May, when it was known throughout Europe that Lee had surren dered, that Mobile had been taken, and that Johnston was on the eye of giving in, thereby virtually allowing the Southern Rebellion to die out, tbe London Morning Herald seriously assured its readers that the people of the South still owed alle giance to Jefferson Davis, and to none other; that Davis was still defiant; that he and his Congress were then at Angusta, inGeoTgia; that, if he chose to carry on the war in the Weßtem States, he had an army to do it; that it was well nigh impos sible for Johnston to have surrendered, as his retreat was open into the interior of the South, and it numbered 50,000 men ; that neither of the Carolinas had been con quered ; that the raids of Wilson and Stonbman had not extended the area of Federal occupation ; that Kirby Smith had 50,000 menin the trans-Mississippi De partment ; that, ‘ ‘ with the exception of the seacoast, and certain lines of fortified posts, the Btates of North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and the whole vast area of the Confede racy beyond the Mississippi, are still prac tically in the possession of the Southern Government, and own no other authority,” and,that “there is thus every possibility that the war will continue.” Here are eleven distinct declarations, each, per se, and all, en masse, put forth with the palpable purpose of deceiving the English nation into the belief that the prospects of the Southern rebels were as bright as they are dark—to inculcate the idea that their defeat was only temporary, if not merely apparent. Every one of these declarations is false —and, we mean to say, wilfully and wickedly false. We doubt Whether Journalism, at any time or in any place, ever crowded so many falsehoods - into such contracted limits. If the cause of rebellion was to have succeeded by “ enor mous lying,” the London Morning Herald would have been equal to half-a-dozen gray-coated brigades. We shall look with expectant curiosity for its description of and comments upon that crowning instance of Confederate success, the capture of Jef ferson Davis while endeavoring to escape in his wife’s petticoat and crinoline, and discovered by his boots! Surely, the hero is worthy of such an Iliad. He will scarce ly have the chance of becoming a wan derer, like Ulysses, though, at present, he has the consolation Of being companioned by his own Penelope. , Noble Compliments. The municipality of Palermo (the capital of Sicily, now part of the Kingdom of Italy,) have paid, a great compliment, at once eminent and unusual, to the worth of the great American martyr to Freedom. With unanimous approval of the inhabitants of that city, they have resolved that one of the principal streets of their city, which Garibaldi has declared to be one of the ■finest in Southern Europe, shall be named after President Lincoln. The Phare de Loire, the leading journal Of Nantes, which is the fifth port of the French Empire, appeared in mourning when it announced the cruel murder of Mr. Lincoln, now suggests the collection of a penny subscription for the purchase of a gold medal, to be presented to Mrs. Lin coln, bearing the inscription: “ Liberty, Equality, Fraternity! To Lincoln, twice elected President of ike United States, French Democracy grateful. Lincoln, the Jumest ■man, abolished Slavery, re-established the Union, saved the Republic without veiling the statue of Liberty. He was assassinated on /Us 14/ft of April, 1865.” 1 Such his Christian work; hut, alas, the un-Christian compensation. But he lived to see his labor consummated.

Dobbins Is at Madison, and has not a solitary follower. Onr informant saw him several days ago, near the river side, seated by a fire under a tree, engaged In pre paring a meal, while, with one hand holding a brash, he battled diligently with buffalo gnats swarming about his head. Standing neaT the fire was a bottle, from whloh he occasionally refreshed himself with draughts of fiN-watar. . Thompson, who was formerly a bard drinker, la said, to have t» formed since assuming command of the northern distrlot, probably from a realisation or his Import ance (1) to tbe Confederate oause. - Dobbins allowed bis men to go home some time ago, with the understanding that they would as semble again when called for; hut several threaten l~g orders have ntterly failed to bring one of his former followers to bis standard. Colonel Lyle Is three miles above Blohburg, and Is also compelled to bear alone the burden of his glories There is an organized force of fifty rebols in aU Northern and Eastern Arkansas. A ootton boat recently landed at Klohbnrg, and in this way Jeff Thompson ob tained possession of some late Northern papers, containing the news of Lee’s capitulation. Among them was tbe Chicago Times, In which was an edi torial to the effeot that the Confederacy was a play ecl-ont Institution. Jeff, forgetting his good resolu tion to tonoh not, taste not, handle not, despatched one of his followers to the boat for a bottle of whisky, alter wbtoh he wrote a proposition to surrender, and sent It to Little Rock. When our Informant left, the steamer Tzetta was going np St. Francis under flag of tiuoe, with officers from General Reynolds’ headquarters on board, doubtless to confer with the ecoentrlo warrior In regard to terms of oapltulation. Jo. Shelby’s force Is also wasting away, and at this time he has not men enough under his com mand to form a body-guard. His late followers are scattered along the Missouri line, wanting to go borne, but, fearing to do so, lest tbe Federal autho rities should punish them- A few of his men are at Mariana, on the Langulle river, under Captains Cox and Ashley, and anxious to return to thetr homes In Missouri. The people of Madison threw np their hats with joy when Informed of the surren der of Lee, and had any one been bold enough to take the lead, a demonstration of loyalty would have followed. They had prayed for peace, and this news seemed to lift a load from their shoulders, Our informant says there Is mnch loyalty in Arkansas, and now that tbe people have escaped tho olutohes Of their late leaders they wiu not be slow to vindi cate themselves. RICHMOND. General Affairs —A Would-be Robber Fa tally Shot—A Colored Corps Expected to go to -Texas—Turner, the Tyrant of Libby, Still at Large. PHILADELPHIA PRBSS BdEBATT, Richmond, May 22,1865. BOBBBBY IK BICHMOHD. It wonld be Impossible for Sunday to pass with out a sensation of some hind. Yesterday morning, about three o’clock, an individual, who gives his name as James Burke, by the aid of a lamp-post, ascended upon a verandah, which afforded easy access through the windows of the seoond story to fcvoral rooms In the Monumental Hotel. He imme diately went to the window of the room where IVtaj ora Stanton and Flthlan, recently arrived paymasters of the army, with plethoric chests of greenbacks, were quartered, and attempted to raise it, which roused the inmates. Finding some diflloulty, he passed along to a room In which were several Baltlmorlans, wbeie he halted for an Instant, and then returned to the attack upon the paymasters. This time he was moro successful, and raising the window gently, he commenced to crawl In, when one of the majors received him with tbe contents of a pistol, which passed through his abdomen, and the detected criminal fell Into the room in the greatest agony, dropping a huge knife which he carried in his hand. The knife corresponded exactly with a scab bard which was found In one of the rooms of the same hotel which was robbed a few nights ago. Btuke, who claims to hall from Baltimore, is hardly expected to recover, though Immediate surgical treatment was rendered to his condition. Thns rar he refuses to disclose the names or any of his con federates in crime, though he admits his acquaint ance with several persons whom he deolares to be professional scoundrels. Bey No. 9of the Spotts wood Hotel, several pawnbrokers’ tickets for watches, a number ef sutlers’ oheoks, and about one dollar and • half in money, were fonnd upon his person. Several clues have been obtalnedwhloh will lead to the arrest and punishment of a gang of thieves who for some time have been operating In tble eity. That tbe negro corpß, under General Woltzsl. has received marching orders is well known throughout their camps, and they are beginning to pat on the war-paint with the Impression that they are going to Texaß. They look forward to the period of em barkation with a great deal of satisfaction. Major Charles Warren, 11th Connecticut, provost marshal of the Fourth district, was, for meritorious services, day before yesterday, mustered in as lieu* tenaDt colonel of his regiment. As an officer In the* oity, his nndevlatlng courtesy has won for him tho esteem of all good citizens, while his exemplar; administration of justice has made him the terror or evU-docrs. We are now experiencing that kind of weather which is known hero as the long season In May, which extends almost Into the middle of June. Al most dally showers, thunder storms with terrific lightnings, and a cool atmosphere, are thapeoullari tlee of this season.

There Is a rapid rise in the river, and also in the streets is the vicinity of Rocketts. DICK TTJBRBB, TEE BUKA WAY JAILBB. Dick Turner, whose escape from Libby I noticed f everal days ego, has not bean captured yet. It is generally supposed by persons whose Imaginations are fruitful that Turner has been summarily dis posed of by the authorities for his many acts of cruelty to Union prisoners while he was one of the heartless and brutal keepers of Libby. He may yet be captured and dealt with as his crimes merit* There are many officers and soldiers who were con" fined under him in robel times, who have experi enced his barbarity, who declare they will shoot him at the first sight.

Payne, Site Assassin. [From the Louisville Union Free*, May 11.1 Payne Is oharged with the attempted assassina tion of Secretary Seward. He 13 a Kentuckian, the family having lived about Unlontown, but Is one of a family of six brothers, four of whom were notori ous as desperdoes of the most demoniac character, who took to the rebellion as naturally as dnoks take to water. While the rebels oooupled Hopkinsville, Ky., ore of the brothers murdered a brother rebut named Brooks, and If the people of Hopkinsville had been called upon to vote a choice as to which of the twain should be killed by the other, the oholce would have been one of embarrassment. There would have been unanimous vote among the loyal people In favor of a Kilkenny oat affair of It. Payne had to fly from the rebel command. Tue brothers are known to many persons here in oonneo tlon with the aelebrated gold seizure by General Shackelford, while colonel of a Kentucky regiment. The Paynes, while operating with the Confederacy, concluded to try their hand at depredating upon that concern. They got up a good counterfeit of the Confederate money, which they traded to a Georgia banker for sterling bills. After the Paynes got away with their plunder, the banker discovered the oharaotcr of tbs Confederate money, and made an arrangement with a Mr. Lee, a loyal East Tennersean, for the recovery of the money. He got noon the track of the counterfeit ers, and discovered that nearly all the money had been placed in the oustody of one-man. - Lee made arrangements with the custodian,,by which the mo ney was surrendered for a consideration. While on his way South with this, Colonel Saekelfoyd, who exhibited throughout his career la Southwestern Kentucky remarkable powers In tracking all kinds of contraband operations, got on the: scent oftbe-J gold for which the sterling bills had been ex-j changed, and seized It and effeetually estopped the, transmigration ot the treasure to Georgia. The' case was tried In the Halted States Court In this', city, and the money was confiscated. Bat Secretary Chase very properly remitted a portion of It to Mf, Lee in conem oration of the fact that bnt for his agency In the business the United States auttori tics might never hare heard or the property. The Confederacy got hold of one of the Paynes and hung him for this counterfeiting transaction. This ol itself shows how utterly depraved must have been the character of Payne, beoause, when a man got to be so bad that the Confederacy had no farther use for him but to hang him, thereli but one other place that has ever been heard of that could be sup posed aSt reoeptaele for him, though we are far from asserting positively that that wouidbe a suita ble home for him, unless he were subjected to solita ry confinement. * . some of the rest of this pneious family went to Texas and bought a large drove of cattle with seme of this counterfeit money, ahd drove the cattle to Vloksburg and sold them. One of this twain Is the one who was hung at Natohez. The assassin Payne probably found the Confede racy too hot for him, and when those trainband eaptalns, C. O. Clay, Jake Thompson, Beverly Tucker, George N. Sanders, Cleary, and the rest of the commissioners of Jeff. Davis In Canada, wan or ganizing a scheme of assassination they were pro bably embarasseil with their riches in suitable ma terial. ' The reader will remember that when these pre otons scoundrels, Jake Thompson, 0. O. Olay, George N. Sanders, and the rest of Davis' gang, were organizing devastations upon Detroit, the two Paynes were chosen instruments. The gang were companions, as of congeniality they should have been, in Canada, a oolony or the “ Southern Con federacy,” the palladium of Southern treason, where orimes of rebels are held to even less ac countability than In the home of treason. Payne was selected by the Canadian plotters as a trusty tool In the devilment of assassination These foots are conclusive as to the complicity of the Confede rate demons in Canada in the conspiracy for assassi nation. Payne went on to play his part In the work on the 4th of March, but, as the scheme was post poned, he found Ms way to the house of Mrs. Suralt, the She-devil of the concern. At her house he passed under the name of Weed, whether Bell 01 FMhOUdO, we do not know. Bushwhacking Atbooitibs in Misboubi.— On Thursday last (May 7), Oaptaln Arnold, with an esoort of eight men, started for Islington; when m the neighborhood of the mounds, about twenty buehwhaehers gave them ohase. In the run for Ufa James Farrell’s horse fell, and the pursuers oame up and riddled bis head with balls. The remainder escaped, and arrived at Lexington In safety, .Upon the receipt of this Intelligence, Lieutenant Chester went with a scout of thirty men into Lafayette county, and returned by the Columbus road. On the route he hilled three bushwhackers, and, it is reported, burned one house. Of Saturday night, the 6th Inst., a party of about .twenty bushwackers entered the town of Holden, when a fight ensued between them and the citizens, resulting In the wounding of Henry Rose. In re turn for the leaden compliment he wounded a bush wacker, and they had to hold him on his horse as they left. It seems that between one and two hun dred of these outlaws erossed Big Creek, taking one Benjamin Mann prisoner. They an supposed to he those who brought him to their Oamp on Satur day night, and ent his throat. Fart of these men visited Holden the same night, while the remain der, something over one hundred, captnred Kings ville and murdered or wounded every male citizen that fell Into their bands, with the Deception of two, who were relatives of theirs. The killed are W. H. Duncan (a son of Captain Dnnoan),'David Givens, James Panl, Abner Ryan, Burris, two Irish railroad hands, and ono negro. The wounded are Captain Dnnoan, S. Dnnoan, and Tn. Johnston. These fiends then robbed tbe place and set fire to It, destroying tive buildings. The road is to be gnai ded to prevent any farther Inter ruption ot the work. On Monday evening a man by the name or Starr, from Ohio, who had been ont west of this place look lrg for land, was returning on foot, and when within three miles of this place was met by two men, shot, and robbed. On the same evening two men near Kingsville were killed, one by tbe name of Alexander, the other bis scn-ln-law, both Southern men. Thus you see our troubles are fairly Inaugurated. Fart of the bushwhackers were known, having resided here be fore the war, and they have been in the brash the last four years. I think It might be well enough to offer the same amnesty to rebels In arms la this State that bus been offered In Kentucky.—Warren burg correspondence St. Louis Seas. + Subbbkdbb of Gubeili. as —Brigadier General J. V. Pratt telegraphs from Maoontnat Holtsalaw, Jackson, Quantreil, Poole, and ether bands of guerillas oiler to surrender to the Halted States an thorlttes, and deBlre to know ir they oan surrender, as other Confederate forces. As President Johnson said of the terms of sur render agreed upon between General Sherman and Joe Jobaston, we think the proposition of such out laws as Holtzolaw, Jackson, Poole, and Quantrell to surrender upon the terms granted to regular organised rebel troops, "Is not debatable." No such surrender ought to be thought of. Such men are mnrderers and thieves, and to accept a sur> render from them would be to recognise them as an honorable foe. They should have no quarters, and ought to be hunted down by bloodhonnus, If no other way or taking them were possible. To accept the surrender or such a murderer as QUBhtrell, tbe fiend who sacked Lawrence and caused the streets of that town to run with blood, is too ridiculous a proposition to discuss. We want the surrender of no such scoundrels. We want their bodies, dead or alive.—Si. Louis News, May 12, Thb Youth who Fieed thb “ Ephssiak Dome.”—A Cleveland paper, Immediately after the assassination of tbe President, remarked that Booth as far back as last summer, remarked that the man who would kill President Lincoln woutd acquire undying fame, at the-same time quoting these lines: “ The aspiring youth who fired the Bbheslan Dome Outlives In fame the pious fool that raised It.” But upon being asked whom the "asplrlngyouth" was he could not tell, and so his antagonist turned the argument against him. Since theassasslnation, many or our contemporaries have been looking up their early readings to find the true story in rela tion to the first temple of Diana of Ephesus, which was burned In the year of the world 1648, and the story is thus told by Rolllaln his Anolent History : " A man, named Horestratns, fired the temple on purpose. Being pat to the torture, in order to make him confess his motive for commuting so Infamous an notion, he confessed that it was with a view of making himself known to prosterlty and to lmmor tallse his name by destroying so noble a structure The States General of Asia Imagined they should, prevent his views by publishing a deorea to prohibit the mention of bis name.

Chicago mer ohstnl# having advanced on It, claimed that they were Innocent holders, and are therefore entitled to protection, they say, because tbe packages bore the Government stamp. The Chicago men, says the Cincinnati Commercial, should not only lose the whisky, bat Urey should be oompelled to show that they did not jqaow It was fraudulently branded. It has been notorious for some time that empty whisky barrcds, bearlpg the Government brand, have been selling In Chicago at high prices.' These were bought for the purpose of defrauding the revenue. The Ohleago merchants, it Is said, who now profess innocence, knew this. They alaohnew that they ware receiving new whuky, whleh they were celling for the manufacturers at less than the Government tax. It 1s no exouße 'that' Government officials were bribed to affix the etamp where no duty had been paid. These officers should be punished with all the.- severity that the law provides ; bnt this should nit relieve the manufacturers or receivers of the artlole. If Mr. Lewis listens favorably to the Ohleago men, there will he no end to the frauds that whisky deal ers will praotlee. Itlsargned that he should not only ooDflaeate the whisky, but he shonld prosecute the men, who are asking relief, ae parties to the fraud. Prompt and severe measures are necessary to the successful enforcement of the exolse law. Tho publio are Interested In tbe oolleotlon of tbe tax on whisky, because upon It the Government Is largely dependent for a revenue. A ease of eonslderable Interest was concluded In the Superior Court of Boston on Thursday. It was respecting a purohaso of ninety-five thousand dozen of Taylor’s best six cord spool ootton by J. H. Beal, Esq., of a New York house, to be delivered at any time within six months, and to be paid for by Mr. Beal when he should receive it. Upon calling for the merchandise it is alleged that ootton was tendered the purchaser with bogus Taylor tickets pasted over the ends of the spools, and the article was but three or four-oord, and Inferior In make and quality to that purchased. Mr. Beal commenced a suit, and the trial of the case, which occupied six days, has resulted In the jury’s agreeing to give a verdict for the plaintiff, but disagreeing on the amount he should receive. The amount sought to be reoovered was twenty thousand dollars. > a correspondent of the Now Orleans Price Car. rent gives the following estimate Of the probable amount of cotton now in the South: Bales.

The limitation of Eastern course, tends to-reduce our indebtedness to that section, and helps to keep the money market here easy. Usually, large amounts are cent from New York about the present time for moving the wool orop. The prevailing indisposition among manufacturers to pay the present prices Is likely, however, to result In that staple remaining In the hands or producers longer than usual; and Instead of the.whole orop being purchased at once, and brought East, as usual, the probability Is that it will be bought up gradually, over an extended period. It was estimated lost spring that 830, 000,000 went from New York to the West, for the moving of the wool orop. The Clnotnnatl Commercial has the following remarks on the erop and the prospeot Of prices: There have been but few contracts mode for wool, and opening prlees are not definitely fixed. In view of the large falling off In tho demand for aooeunt of army woik, and the prospective Increase in the sup ply of eotton, dealers are not Inclined to assume much, If any, risk, and there seems to be a proba bility that olips will only be marketed as they are required by manufacturers. The fact that farmers are very generally more Independent than ever be fore, confirms this. As matters now present them selves to buyers, 850 for unwashed, and 50e for washed wool, are stated as their trading figures. During the war bat little dlstluotlon has been made as to quality, but It Is now conjectured that here after a preference for fine wools will be shown, and a corresponding advantage be given It In price, though there Is nothing to the course of the trade yet te Indicate that.
