DUPONT, ranking the third in the naval service of this country, died yes terday morning, at the La Pierre House, having overpast his sixty-second year. Be was the first naval officer who, in the recent war 'which has crushed the rebel lion, achieved one of the great successes lrhich defined the utter incapacity of the south to maintain any available seaboard. This was effected at Port Royal, in the success of November the '7th, I Sfil, when he captured the forts on Hil ton Head and Bay Point. As the first of that series of heroes, in which we reckon the names of FARBAGUT and Poraza, and - many others, he demands not only the tears of his countrymen, but their venera tion, for his .courage, his devotion to our rational Unity, and his truly Qhristian simplicity of character. The Future of the Freedmen. tiEmancipation is the great experiment of t i epoch of our national history. To ender it successful should be one of the ghest aims of our statesmen, as it will be one of the noblest triumphs of oar civili soion. Slavery has done its utmost to ire brute the colored race. Where education is strictly forbidden, where no marriage tie is sanctioned or respected, where the rela tion of husband and wife, parent and child, and all the attendant responsibilities that bind free households together, are utterly ignored, and supplanted only by the rude tie between the master and his slave, the most valuable humanising influences are inopera tive, andthe elevating instincts of thersoul fearfully stunted and depressed. The freed- Alen and their ancestors have been held sot merely in physical, but in moral, social, and intellectual bondage. Purposely kept In ignorance, we should not wonder at signs of stupidity, but endeavor to educate them. Denied the rights of domestic au thority, and warned that they had no more Control over their offspring than the cattle of their masters' fields, we should not be too readily shocked if they cannot immediately unlearn the hard lessons of the past, and become at one hound faithful bus bandsand provident fathers,but rather strive earnestly to impress thaw with the import ance and justice of a true social organization. Compelled to obey peremptory commands end deprived of opportunities to exercise their will and judgment in the battle of life, we must not be astonished if they some times evince a lack of judgment. We should not harshly condemn as deficiencies cr crimes traits and conduct that are the legitimate results of their unfortunate antecedents. In short, where the depress ing influences of slavery have worked their full measure of evil, we should rather aid to elevate the victims than to denounce and punish them for their misfortunes. "Freedom" implies to the negro not merely the right to reap the fruits of hia bur, but the right to improve his mind, te increase his Capacities, to chose and keep potner for life, to whom he will be joined 1 1 an ordinance of God that no man can sunder, and to make of his home a castle where his household gods will be under the sagis of a protecting law that the proud est of the land dare not violate with impu 'DRY.

It has done much, too, for the negro in the free .States ; and when it is freely enjoyed and sppreciated by the freedmen, it will exer cise a salutary influence upon their future. We rejoice to notice,. by the tone of the letter addressed by General HOW.M to his Assistant Commissioners of the Freed. men's Bureau, that he is inspired with en larged and cheerful views of his mo mentous task, and that, despite the diffi culties and embarrassments existing at pre sent, he cherishes sanguine hopes of the elevation of the negro, and the complete aucceEs of free labor in the South. This will be seen by the following extracts : " You must not only promote the elevation of the degraded and oppressed whites: you must do all that behooves the Government in answering the question, What shall we do with the negro?.

My. Seek to combine all the forces whloh may pro mote the ends of the G9vernment.f, The Submission of the South. In a country so extensive as the rebel lious Etates, embracing a population which abounds with striking original characteris tics, it cannot be expected that an unvary ing uniformity of action and feeling in re gard to their defeat will be displayed. The germs of hostility may still smoulder in some districts, and there will be as many shades to their enforced loyalty as we wit ness in the green foliage of an American forest. But, although there are occasional rumors of bad behavior, and of downright outrages, it must be confessed that the great body of the Southern people are, to all appearance, bearing themselves as cor rectly and judiciously as could reasonably be expected. • They have suffered grievous ly. They have nothing to console them for the ruin and desolation that is visible on every hand. Decisive de feat instead of exhilarating victory, is the goal they have reached by the sacrifice of the livee of thousands of theirbravest men, and the destruction of their available wealth. All their hopes have been blasted, and all their prayers denied. The future they can only " see through a glass darkly," for they have struggled ineffec tually against a superior power that will henceforth exert a controlling influence upon their destiny. But they have at least been prompt to recognize this latter fact. They spared no exertions to secure their independence, but they feel now, since all their efforts have been unsuccessful, that further resistance is in vain ; and the same instincts which prompted many to support " the powers that be," while DAVIS ruled at Richmond, will urge them to bear true and faithful allegiance to the legal autho rities of our country. Not a few of tke former rebel °Cicero have given.eound and wholesome advice to their soldiers, but the farewell address of JEFF Tnomrson to his troops is couched in such pointed terms that we reprint it here as a fair presentment of the prevailing opinion of the rebellious States : * * I have called you together that I may advise you as to your statue and proper course to pursue for the future. It is useless now to orimlnate end recriminate, but the fact is evident that as an Independent nation we are badly wiappea, and 4 the fault and blame rest upon ousel s, for had we been more obedient and industrious We would hare succeeded. You have now assembled to be paroled, in core ft-rmity with my agreement and order, and I hope you are complying with the spirit of my order, and are acting in good faith; for unless you are doing so, the object we are so desirous to attain will be missed, and instead of peace and quiet we will still have petty feuds, murders, house Dunlop, and troubles that wilt be worse than open war. ' Let each man determine when he 1.0111708 this place, that lie will go to his home. there to remain, cad work night and day to repair the damage that has been done by the war, and never go off his farm except to go to null ; and, If there are private quarrels be. tween himself andneighbore hehad better go pack up, and hunt another neighborhood; and, if not mining to submit to the laws of the United States, he /tad better leave the country. Yon must remember now that you have no rights, and can only claim snob as may be given to you by the conquerors, and the less you Bay about polities, until you have become naturalized, the better for yon. The Yankees have won the negro, and WO must let them dispose of him as they please. When your opinion or advice is asked, you can quietly give it, but do not volunteer either. We have fought fear long and bloody years for our rights, and have lost, and now We cannot get by simply talking what we have failed to win with our arms ; and the mat ter was talked over forty years before the fighting. began. Alt who cannot or will not be submissive, should leave the United States as soon as possible, and I pre. BUMS that many young men will go. I am acre there will be no hindrance, for the Government should be glad to get rid of all who arena disposed to he peaceable. To the Missourians ado are present, I would aprak plainly, and advlsOltteut not to think of re turning to Missouri unless they have a clean record. There are many who have been fair, honest, and chivalrous soldiers, who can have no charges against ttem, except the one ci being true to the South; t erre are many others who have forgotten the laws of God, the laws of man, and the laws of war, and they, of course, cannot expect to live in Missouri in peace. Then there are Others who, though they LaVe heea honest soldiers, had determined in their hearts to have private revenge at the end of the war, bad we succeeded, and some who have said tt at the Union men must leave if they won. Each ot you know to which of these elapses you belong, and you must "do'as you would be done by," and act accordingly. Repeal of the Charter of the Pittsburg and CommHardie Railroad Company. [Smote Coromandel:toe of The Prom] WlLLlAlawrorm, Jude 21,1265. This is the week set apart for the meeting of the United States Court, and our town is consequently thronged wish jurymen and distinguished strangers. Among the jurymen I notice Congressmen cleat Lawrence, of Worthington; Fuller, of Fayette; and Wilson, of Tioga. The case exciting by far the most interest is the argument on the eonstitutionality of the repeal of the charter of the Pittsburg and Conne llsvllle Rail. road Company by the Pennsylvania Legislature, last winter a year. The Pittsburg and Connelsville Railroad route, it is well known, extends from Pitts burg via Connelsville to Cumberland, illd, there connecting with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, thus giving another line to the seaboard to the eiti zens of Pittsburg and the West. Through various mine it has felled to be entirely completed, and in the winter of Riea-04 the Pennsylvania Legislature repealed its franchises and privileges, and gave teem to the Southern Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany, a corporation under the control of the Penn- Sylvania Central Railroad Company. The par rtes reely at issue are, therefore, the latter named corporation and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. There was a, line array of legal tit lent on both sides. For the Southern Pennsylvso nta Railroad, ex•Chiefinstice Lowry and George P. Hamilton, Esq., of Pittsburg, appeared. Mr. Ham ilton Is a ewe Paseo - nor, and exclusively devoted to the law.

Latrobe, Esq., of Baltimore, and Hon. Reverdy Johnson spoke against the constitutionality of the act of the Penn sylvania Legislature repealing the charter of the Connelsville Railroad Company. There were two cases on the list. First—the Pittsburg and Cone nelleville Railroad versus the Southern Pennsylvap • nia Railroad Company; and neat the City of Bath- More versus the Southern Pennsylvania Railroad Company. By mutual consent, the first was dropped from the list, and the merits of the case were argued on the second suit. The city of Baltimore had lent her credit to the Pittsburg and Connelsville Railroad to the extent of $1,000,000, and she asked that the United Staten Circuit Court restrain the State of Pennsylvania from turning over the franehleell and privileges of the Pittsburg and Connelsville Rail road to another corporation, thus letting her out in the acid. On this question, Judge Lowry Spoke or behalf of the Southern Pennsylvania Railroad for more than an hour. and MUM. La.trobe and Samson a couple of hours apiece on the other side. The aforementioned act of the Legislature was clearly unconstitutional, and will doubtless so be declared by Mr. Justice Grier; and, therefore, when it alma Mr. Banditti/08 turn to argue, he declined, but submitted the (mention to the omit on what his brother Lowry had said.

In his instructions to Mr. Dale, the President says that he deems the present an auspicious and fitting time for the renewal of efforts to impress upon the In dians in the more distant Territories the rapidly increasing and pressing necessity for the abandon ment of their wild and roving habits, and the adoption in their Stead of the more peaceful and industrious arts of civilized life. There le no longer any region of territory left within the United States where their rade habits and mode of life can prevail as formerly. They are being pressed and hemmed in on every side by the advanc ing settlements of an indmdsions and enterprising people, and _they must therefore learn to adapt themselves to the new order of things, and to live in peace among themselveS, and with their white neighbors, or they must inevitably perish.

On the evening of the 18th of MAY, I arrived at New Orleau. where I remained until the morning of the 6th Mit., and during that period had several official Interviews with Colonel Ashbel Smith, the commander of the 'defences of Galveston, who al& seized me that there would be no opposition on the part of the tortes under his command or the ,people to the occupation of Galveston by the navy. On the morning of the 6th I left New Orleans on the United States steamer R. R. Onyler, and an chored Off Galveston yesterday at two 0 , 01001 P.

After the sign ing of the articles of surrender, Captain Sands Un medlatelsr took the necessary steps to buoy out the channels, and On the Oth Mutant proceeded inside the bar with the U.

The flag is now floating on all the forts in the harbor, but as we have not suffi cient force from the fleet to garrison the latter, I have directed the light-draught gunboats Cornubia, Preston, and New London to remain inside of the bar, where they will soon be joined by the Port Royal. I have also given orders to Oominatt• der Le Roy, of the Ossippee, to convey with his vessel the troops which General , Canby, It is hoped, will in a few days be able to despatch to occupy the different forts on the coast already sur rendered to us. General Brown, of the United - States army, on the it Inst., with a brigade, took possession of the garrison at Brownsville. The other ports on the coast of Texas, which have hick-. erto been blockaded by our vessels, are now held by the naval fcroes.

A large excursion train, con sisting of thirty-two carriages and drawn by two powerful engines, was proceeding from Liverpool to Birmingham, and on approaching a portion of the line, where the rails had been lately robin, the carriages began to oscillate fearfully, The train was proceeoing at great speed, and the drivers at tempted to draw up, bat being unable to do so both engines dashed oft the line in opposite direotions.. The scene that ensued bathes all description. From Welt hundred to nine handled persona were in the train, and the shrieks, cries, and groans were most heartrending. The engines and a great minion of the carriages were smashed to atoms. One of the stokers was killed and one of the drivers was seri ously injured.

The people have not (probably because of General Grant's native modesty) been heretofore wiling to give him credit for originality of mind, or for that military genius (which le tao highest Corm of mental power) and WIIIOI/ Conceives as well as eatennes. In fact. I have heard - officers and soldiers assert that to General Sherman alone was due tne credit of planning the entire campaign, which resulted in the capture or Vicksburg; Wben the truth is, that campaign was the conooption of General Grant himself. And more than this, the most brilliant movement of it was undertaken contrary to the: advise of General Sherman, atul in the teeth of his written protest .

Dubois and Phillips, especial ly the forcer, stoutly combatted these ideas. Mr. Dubois contended that slavery. was the cause of the war, and Ihat it must be removed before a perm,. neat peace mid be secured ; also that, as regarded the duration of it, if those in charge of it would only do their duty It could be closed up in a short time; the t he people of the North had given them men and °my in almost unlimited numbers and amounts, d that the result was in their hands. With every appliance to a successful termination. Mr. PhilllB then took up the conversation with General ...

The gen eral had net beckoned the auditor from the room, but both eared to be drawn together by one of these me nial attractions for which there Is no ac counting. •ipon the deck a conversation ensued be tween the tee, the substance of which Is as follows : Gen. Grain. Uncle Jesse, to tell you the truth, I; hate come th my wit's end as regards the capture of Vicksburg- I do not really know what next move to make. I InVe tried everything - I could thinker, and here we WOOL I have been advised that we go back to Menaphis, and oommenee anoVerland =rah item that slnt. Mr. Debate. Gen. Grant, you Cannot do that. If you takethr army back to Memphis, with all this array of g nboata and transports and all - your material of. War, the effect will be disastrous on the country. This infernal constitution in our State was only detested by superhuman exertions. An other election is almost upon us, and the whole northwest Is on the verge of revolution. It you go back you strengthen the hands of the traitors and K. O. C.'s at home.

It is it terrible thing tO•tkink of, but it must be done. General Grent replied that he would reflect upon the mattes during the night, and let Mr. Dabois know of his determination in the morning. When the morningaarne,Cienerel Grant met Mr. Dubois with a ohaerftil countenance, and the following Con versation took place : General Great.

' Auditor Dubois went home and told GoVernor Yates that Grant would tate Vicksburg ; that he bad no doubt °tit ; that Gaiters! Grant told him to tall bite 80, and that he mull tell it'fo the people as coming from General Grant. It will be remembered that the promise of General Grant war pllblietied is the papers at that time, and that Governor Yates repeated it from the stumps General Grant's next move was to send for Gene. ral John A. MoOlernand, and ordered him to march his corps from Milliken's Bend to Grand Gulf. General MoOlernand proposed some changes in the details of the plan, but General Grant oat him short by saying that ho had digested and arranged the entire details for the movement, and only required Min (General MoClernand) to execute his orders. General MoOlernand then said he would do that to the beat Of Ida ability, and departed on his expedi- tion. And here it may be well to add that at this time strenuous efforts were being niade at Washington for the removal of General Grant. Not only West Point was arrayed against him, but Republic's& members of Congress, some of them from this State, went to Mr. Lincoln and urged his removal, taking back their former endorsements of him. Leading Republican papers in this State also loudly de nounced him, and clamored for his sapareedure. At this time a leading Republican slid retired office holder from this State, who had been down the river buying cotton, wrote a letter to Mr. Lincoln denouncing General Grant, predicting his faller*, and urging the appointment of General. Pope to his command. • He brought the letter to Hon. 0. IL Hatch, then Secretary of State, and one of Mr. Lincoln's most intimate friends, and asked him to direct it, but did not show him its contents. He re presented to Mr. Hatch that Mr. Nicolay, who had been Mr. Hatch's deputy clerk; seeing the hand writing, would band it to Mr. Lincoln. Hearing of 'tile occurrence, and suspecting a trick, Mr. Dubois made Mr. Hatch write a letter to the President, which both signed, and which urged him-to do noth- Rig against General Grant; that they had been down tie river, and, to far as they had anything to say in the matter, they were perfectly satisfied with him. Subsequently to the capture of 'Wolfsburg, Mr. Dubois was in Washington, to obtain a sick far-- lough for his son, who had been at the siege, and was then In a Memphis beSpital. Mr. Lincoinhim self went to the War °Moe frith Mr. Dubois to ob tain the furlough, Returning from the aloe, and while Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Dubois, and Mr, D. L, Phil lips were standing at the railing which separates the War office grounds from those of the White House, the following Conversation, in saluitallOk took place ; Mr. Dubois "Mr. President, Ido not like Gene ral Grant's paroling those prisoners at Vicksearg. We had better feed than tight them." Mr. Lincoln, straightening himself np to his full height, and his countenance beaming with that peculiar smile which indlOated that he was highly pleased: Dubois, General Grant has done so well, and we are all so pleased at the taking of Vicksburg, let us not quarrel with him about that matter." He also added: "Dubois," placing his foot upon the base of the railing, and taking a less erect posture, "do you know that, at one time, I stood solitary and 810110 here in favor of General Grant. Even (meaning a member-of Congress from Northern Illinois), came and told me that he (Grant) was not worth a—, and that I would have to remove him. But I remembered that you and Hatch and others had been down there about the first of April, and had not said a word to me on the subject,' SINUOTTS ACCIDENT ON THE ERIE BASLROLD.— About hen cooler& on Thursday morning a passenger train on the Erie Railroad wee thrown off the track near the town of Depoc .

QA WIPP, of irelontab MORE TESTIMONY FOR THE PROSECUTION, What the Canada Rebels have had to Say about the Trial, MR. EWINO'S DEFENCE OF ARNOLD A lioviow of the Evidence, the Counsel says, Anyhow, the Court has not a bit of Jurisdiction in the Case. DR. MUDD'S LIFE ASSAILED BY FALSE TESTIMONY. — uio -ASSAULT. No Facie Produced to Implicate him in any way with the . Murder, WASHINGTON, June 23.—George B. RlltahlkBol2, a witness called by the s3overnment, testlfled that .he was an enlisted man, during the recent war, for !a, year and a half; he 'saw Clement 13.01ay on or 'about the .12th or lath of February last, at the Queen's Hotel, Toronto; he did not think he was mistaken in seeleg Olay then and there; he also saw Sanders, Beverly Taokerland others, at Mont real, on the 16th or 17th of the same month; the witness was present at a conversation at the St. Lawrence Hall, Montreal, on the 2d or 3d of Jane, when the present trial was the subject discussed by 'Dr. Merritt, Beverly Tucker, General Oarroll, of Tennessee, and ex-Governor Wescott, of Florida; Beverly Tucker said he had burnt all the letters, ' for fear the Yankee sons of would steal them; the witness had knowledge that Dr, Merritt enjoyed the confidence of Tucker and the others. Mr. Ewing then proceeded to read the argument In the prisoner Arnold's ease. He. remarked that the evidence was not voluminous, and it was all in harmony se to the Math BMW. Mr. Horner, the detective, said that Arnold, after Ida arrest. gave an account of a meeting held at the Lichen House, in Wafhington, the object of which was to capture the President and take him South, for the purpose of compelling the Government to an exchange of prisoners. After announcing his Intention of hav Mg nothing to do with it If not performed within the week, Arnold withdrew from it, when Booth said for this he ought to be shot. Booth had pre- viously furnished the conspirators with arms,And so perfectly satisfied did he become that Arnold had withdrawn from the plot, that he told Arnold to dispose of the arms placed In the prisoners' hands just es he pleased. This statement of Arnold was truthful and Ingenuous, and all the evi dame corroborated and conformed to it. In Booth's trunk was found a letter from Arnold, dated from BookstOwn, March With, in reply to ore front Booth, who had endeavored to reclaim and again enlist him In his scheme. This letter showed that the rupture between them was complete—never to be healed. During Arnold's stay at Mrs. Van Tyne's, In this city, it was not denied that he was engaged In the plot for the capture of President Lincoln. Arnold remained in Maryland from the 21st to the 31st of March, when he proceeded to Fortress Mon roe for the purpose of entering upon a situation as clerk with Mr. Wharton. About the 20th of March occurred the meeting which resulted in the quarrel of the accused with Booth, when Arnold gave up his room at Mrs. Van Tyne's and never saw Booth afterward. The evidence established only that at one time Arnold was a party to a plot to capture or abduct the Pretident. if on the 14th of April the Presi dent had been abducted instead of assassinated, Ar nold could not be punished, becalm he had with drawn from the conspiracy, as the prisoner Conn termanded the intention to attain; and altogether withdrew froM it. There WaB no crime commuted, and as a consequence no punishment should follow. Mr. Ewing quoted from various legal authorities to shot, that after Arnold lied jerfainated his man dentin with the conspirators, he was not reSpOn• sible for what was done afterwards. No one aot of the conspirators could affect him. There was not the rettioteat testimony to connect. Arnold with the Commission of the murderous deed. lie repeated that the oriainal plot in which Arnold bore a part wit i sk r embitied u And an entirely new one „fa tilted. Although be bad conspired with toe same parties for a different purpose, he certainly was not responsible with the wicked men who did the wicked deed of murder. The prisoner, the counsel argued, Could not be an accessory before the fact of a mime he did not know was to be Committed. At the time of the assafsination Arnold WSB not in Washington. He was not nearer the 800nOthan Fortress Monroe ; DOT did he give any guilty aid or participation to the murder alter the crime had been committed. Alter a recess, Mr. Ewing addressed the ;Mort upon the subjeotorjuradiction, arguing that neither the Constitution of the United States, nor the laws passed under it, gives them power to try the pried oars of the crime with whioh they are charged. As there was no constitutional or legal provision for trial on such a count, it must have been authorized by tame mandate from the Executive which the Constitution prohibits. If his clients were to be tried for treason and murder, it must be proved that they aided in or abetted the acts, for either of them on conviction was punishable with death. The Judge Advocate would not say on what law and authority he rested the conviction of these parties, and for what crime. The civil courts were open without Impediment for impartial anti, &c., hence in the absence of other considerations there was no neces sity for this trial before a military court. If snob a precedent be set, we may. have fastened upon us a military despotism. It might be this sr raignment before a military Court was more conve nient, and conviction more certain than before a civil tribunal. The Judge Advocate had said that the parties were tried under the common military law. This was a quiddity, and might make a fictitious crime, and attach en arbitrary punishment, and - Who may gainsay it f Our. roles and articles of war are familiar to tie all. We never heard of the coon mon laws of war having jurisdiction not conferred by express enactment or constitutional grant. If the laws govern, he (Mr. Ewing) felt satisfied that his clients were safe. One of them, Dr. Mudd,' had committed no crime known to the laws. He could not be charged with treason, nor melding and abet• tins in the murder of the President, for at the time of the tragedy, Dr. Xlldd Was at his residence, thirty miles from the place of the mime. He cer tainly could not be charged with the Commission of the. overt am. There were not two witnesses to show it, but there was abundant evidence to show he did not commit the overt W. Dr. Mudd never, by himself or with others, levied war against the United States, or gave aid and comfort to the enemy. Mr. Ewing then proceeded to comment on the Mildew*, claiming that there was nothing which in the remotest degree connected Dr. Mudd with the Conspiracy. He ventured to say that rarely, in the annals of the civil trials, has the life of accused been assailed by so much false testimony as had been exhibited in this case, and rarely has it been the goad fortune of an innocent man to so confute and overwhelm his false accusers by a preponder arms of undisputed truth. There was no reliable evidence. to show that Dr. Mudd met Booth more than twice, and that was last November, in Charles county, en a Mere matter of trade. He had never met Booth in this city. The counsel then reviewed the evidence relative to Dr. Mudd having set Booth's leg, and other events in that oonnes • arguing that, from all this, there was nothing to lead to a 00110luidOn unfavorable to the accused, Dr. Midst voluntarily, not on compulsion, gave in formatiOn_Concerning the ,sate by welch Booth, with BMW, had escaped, and; instead of tnanking him for this, as a good and loyal-citizen, an effort was made to punish him.

Gen. Grant intends to reduce tne army to the lowest point consistent with public safety. It, is not probe - ale that more than 100,000 men, after the first of January, will be retained In the service, and part of these may be gradually mustered out during the next thre r e ta i nedr yearly. The bleak troops will mostly be for garriSon purpoles in the Gulf States. The Veteran Reserve Oorpe and regulars are the only white troops that are likely to be kept in service beyond this year. The regulars may be increased to the maximum of forty thousand men. A few regiments of cavalry will have to be retained for frontier service, to look after marauding rea ching.
