LETTER FROM "oCcA3IONAL.I3
IVA:f-litmiro, July 7, 1865
The execution of the fmar leading con-
Wrators, about hall-past one o'clock this
afternoon, passed off without much out
'ward excitement. I leave the tilling up of
the details of the picture to the able, re
porters of The frost and Chroniele. The
evidence abundantly justified the verdict,
n;;t l public opinion la:rat i vely demanded

lictinp a civil tribunal, it would be lingiritt;-
i,, the vestibule of cross-examination, with
1110 promise of a long and painful par
-I.llition. The force Of this remark may be
teller understood in view of the angry and
r.lahhorn attacks upon the Military Commis
ri-ion, and the sleepless efforts and wonderful
ingenuity of the lawyers engaged lay the
conspirators. - What they would have re-
Vuted to if the me had been committed to
District Judge, need not be antieipated. A
'weak or wicked Judge, and skillful counsel,
tl id e d 1;y all the sleight-of-hand, delay and
I ,: u ppressions common to such eases, and the
t o n thousand oppOrtunilles for poisoning
'e,hc public mind, by newspaper comments
and elaborated speeches, would have
oc hieved either the acquittal or the comma
faticu of the sentences of the murderers.
J.\.s One of the most eminent Democrats in
Contryess, for years an influential Judge in
one of the national Courts, wrote me a felt'
days ago : "No court, under the Ibrt.uS of
civil and jury law, could have extracted

The attempt, of Judge Wylie, of the
I.3upreine, Court for the District of
Columbia, to arrest the course of justice

very period fixed for the execution of the
;murderers, was met by President Johnson.
in the most prompt and resolute :manner.
The writ was returned with the endorse
ment that the sentence had been approved,
and would be carried into effect. This

Andrew Johnson. This ease is another
proof of the clanger of placing doubtful
in high places, at any time, - and least of
now, when the Repuhlie, just rescued
From Death, is still in a state of convales

of the public peace, wherever they may be
found, may henceforth dismiss all hope of

TUB JINNOUNCE3IENT OF TUB EXT.:OUTWIT.
Yesterday the public wore startled by the
Publication of the findings of the military
court for the trial of the conspirators, the Pre
sidenVs approval of them, and the apparently
sudden order for the execution of four of the
unhappy culprits. But, therefore, startled
though we all were, theft:were but few among
ns who objected either against the justice of
the court or the firmness and prompt action
of the President. A careful trial had been
given the conspirators ; they were admitted
to every resource known to the law which
might aid theln in their extremity, and after
seven weeks patient inquiry, every answer
and every question of which pointed Out to
them clearly what would be the end, they
beard their doom. It could not have come
suddenly if they were not blind, and that they
were not, their every action testifies.
'When the court had arrived at its decision it
was immediately carried to the President by
hie order, and on Wednesday be, in company
with Judge Advocate General Holt, carefully
reviewed it, thoroughly approved it, and ap
portioned the sentences. The next stop was
to make known to those who had received the
death sentence, how near and how terrible was
the end they had brought upon themselves by
their own acts—by their own wicked perver
sity. This duty was assigned to Major General
Iltirtranft, who has, ever since the incarcera
tion, of the assassins, been entrusted with
their ,:ato keeping. At l °MOM - yesterday, n.e.
companied by Major General Hancock, he
went to the cells of each of the four con
demned prisoners, and performed what must
at all times be an unpleasant duty. Their
Place of confinement has already been fully
described in yourcolumns, and itis onlyneces-
Sary to repeat here that the prisoners have all
along been confined in what is called the
"Cell department," consisting of four tiers of
Cells, just as is usual in all prisons, with
galleries running all round them for
the convenience of guards. Up to tine day of
execution the four condemned were immured
in cells in the second and third tiers, con
siderably separated from each other. Payne
occupied No. 105, on the north side of the
second tier Atzerott, 161, on the south side of
the same tier; while Mrs. Surat and Harold
were in the third tier, separated_north.and
south in the same way.
HOW IT WAS BEOBIVED.I
The first cell visited was that of Payne. He
was found, - we are told, coolly reacting, and
when his visitors entered, rose and conversed
with intelligent politeness. General Hart.
ranft inlinediately made known his errand,
read the Specifications of the court and the
approval of the President, and waited for
their effect on the prisoner. . There
was none. The same imperturbability
was manifested that seemed to surround
him during the whole trial ; as if in amitotic of
ice, he received the anummeement as if he
expected it, anti was prepared to brave every
consequence. - He thanked the officers for the
kind treatment he, had uniformly received
while a prisoner, and made a few remarks
about his connection With the great plot.
He thought when he first . entered into
it that he was, right—the Confederacy had
taken too strong a hold on his heart to ever
allow him to believe that he was wrong. In
the light of after Cireumstances he began to
consider, however, That he was wrong, and he
was sorry for it. Thus coolly he talked with
the certainty of death on the morrow ; but'not
a quiver of the lip betokened that he feared
what was bearing down on him so terribly and
surely.
Tut his ease differed from that of Atzerott.
Your readers have all read with more or less
attention the copious reports of the trial, and
they know that Atzerott has been represented
as a being entirely destitute or any manly
quality, let alone that of eenrage. The record
he made then lie did not depart from now. As
ominous word after word fell from the lips of
the sold ier-bearer of dark tidings, they seemed
to fall with agonizing sharpness on every fibre
of his being.. His green, dull eyes were befitted
up by fear, with an expression where before all
was expressionless. Ills lips paled to ashes.;
his Whole form shook as if then and there the
deadly drop was about to descend which would
rob him of his life. He made no aeknowletig
me»ts—spoke no words—for strength and
speech had alike left him, and it was ouly after
a considerable time that he could ask that his
relatives might be allowed to see him, and
alSo a clergyman. Then his visitants left him,
and ascended to the cell of Harold. - •
isoy. in. intellect, if in nothing else, the awful
sentence fell just as erliSbingly on him as on
Atzerott. He. also trembled, but :AM had
strength enough left to admit the major pOints
of the evideime brought out against him in his
trial, nod to w ou Lis iiffeetion for the South.
In thus far, be was the superior in will to his
cowardly confederate.
Dirs. Sundt was next visited, and the tidings:
plunged her into a grief so profound as to ex
cite all the pity of the Generals, performing a
stern duty as they were. In that little para
graph, which took so little room in Thc Pre.vs,
whirls one's eye can glance over,
.and oao , a
mind comprehend in an Sinstant, wrapped up
all her hopes, all her ambitions, all her life•
She saw the world she left behind, and she
saw, how she left it, more suddenly and awfully
than our poor President, who, through her cun
ning, went out into the nether and unknoWn
world, without even time to breathe one little
prayer. She saw an agonizing—oh, how ago
nizing I because monstrously unnatural and
enforced parting, with her family—she saw an
eternity before her, and the stain of blood on
her soul. do wonder her tears flowed so fast!
Lut they were selfish tears. She wept not thus
when the good President died, and by her
hated, too ; she now wept only for herself. She
expressed the hope that Rev. srs. - Walker,
of St Patrieles, and Wiget, President of Goa
:lga, Mr. John P. Brophy, of St, ius
tiehools t and Miss AMR.' Sarah, would be shm
moned.

turn himself away from her, for he was in

better the interview should cease. When the

quieted down considerably, and was taken
into the east- room, where she remained seve

While the prisoners in their Cells were look
ing forward to eternity, and daughters, with
aching hearts, were pleading and pleading in
vain, the law was taking its course, and the
stern preparations fOr the death were fast
going on. From early: morning workmen
from the Arsenal were busily engaged .in
erecting the scaffold upon which all four of
the condemned were to be executed. It dif
fered but little from other scaffolds. A plat
form, with drops and uprights, and ominous
ropes, with their fatal noose, which . hung
Pendant front the cross-pieces, were an.
Outside the prison walls, stretched along the
shore of the Potomac, along theiwallfof the
Washington front of the penitentiary,. awl
scattered in picturesque groups over the sward
that lay within the eastern boundary, were
soldiers. Soldiers were everywhere. They
paced by, whole companies almost, on the
Parapet wall, immediately surrounding the
jail, and covered the effete grass that strag,-
gled for csistenee in the yard.

Washington lay in the forcgronud, the dome
of the Capitol rising up against heavelis blue
in all the grand simplicity of its fretted mar
ble whiteness; on the right, hills in misty
blue undulated along the horizon, fringed and
fretted with forests and straggling trees,
above whose tops rose the castellated walls of
the Government Hospital for the Insane ; in
the rear the Potomac shone, a broad belt of
molten silver, now heaving in majestic swells,
DOW broken into a. thousand tiny ripples, its
surface dotted all over with ships and boats,
winding among each other with labyrinthine
complexity ; to the left were the bare hills of
Virginia, and the city of Alexandria, its
spires and house-tops shining • in the sun, that
bent down with almost torrid hotness, as if it
too, was determined to show its anger, when
the assassins, who had defied Heaven and all
mankind, were brought out to receive their
Punishment. This was the scene which met
the eye of him who was not cooped up within.
the prison walls ; but to those who were, there
was nothing but the massive boundary of
brick, the gloomy reach of wallsof the peniten
tiary, which seemed to frown on me through
its grea l t, barred, dingy windows; the soldierS
on the arapets, the little sentinel-box at the
Northeastern angle, the soldiers stretched
upon the grass, their bright musiretsrefieeting
hack the heat with added 'intensity; the out
building of the institution; the scaffold, and—
ah ! yes, the graves, and the rude coffins. In
to the solemnity with which the weird horrid
Skeletons of :wood impressed the mind, was
adduct the borror liegotten by. the- 70,,,,ums
abysses, where the.bodies of beings noWitt life
were in a few short moments to lay in dis
honored death. All morning the soldiers had
been there Sweltering. Their blue unifOrms
formed scarce a contrast to the sombre red
and air of gloom all around, and it was not
until nearly eleven o'clock that the citizens,
in their variegated attire, came to make a
pleasant Contrast. A change seemed then
to come; for - groups gathered and begun to
talk, where before they had only stood dumb
or lolling, gazing Vacantly at the preparations
for death around. Officers in gay trappings of
gold, that grew yellower or redder in the sun
light,moved round as if upon errands of import
ance bent ; citizens gathered in the shadows
that the walls cast, and others, less super
stitious, or more desirous for comfort, gather
ed under the very scaffold itself, upon which
workmen still labored. A tall, gaunt man, in
dress of faded cheek, was fixing the ropes to
the uprights, while another turned the noose,
and gauged the fall. From out the bars that
crossed the windows of the penitentiary, and
the shoe shop, between which and the wall the
seatffild was erected, curious, eager. faces
peered, their eyes au at work, their tongues
hushed to stillness, Over all was the blazing
sunlight and a cloudless sky.
Admittance to the interior of the peniten.
liary was not given to the members of the
-press for various reasons ; one of which, per.
was that the prisoners having been
called upon so soon to die required ill their.
time to properly prepare, undistracted by the
gitze of curious and, Perhaps, unsympathizing
strangers. ho the reason what it may, the
press was not admited. They had access to
every other place. They could go wherelesr
favored citizens were jealously, forbidden, but
through the great, oaken doors, studded all
over with great spikes, and locked and double
locked wish great bars of steel, was not for
them. Officers stood guardaround them, them
selves fOrbidden entrance. Only the friends
of the condemned, their spiritual aillisers, mad
the officers - nod soldiers detailed for especial
guard duty. The prisoners were now in the
first tier of the "cell department," having
been removed from the cells of which we have
made mention heretofore. Here Atzcrott oc
cupied cell No. 151, Mrs. Suratt cell 153, Harold
cell 755, and Payne 157, so that, although not so
widely Suparated as in their former locali
ties, the ah.he..ee was still great enough for
none of the prisoners to hear what was said or
done in the cells.
Eglisrwmmms'imnrr'siprz,
At twelve o'clock the clergy hail all arrived,
and were in close communion with the unfor
tunates. The sounds of prayer and. exhorta
lion went up from out the gloom to which sun
light, be it ever so bright, had never penetrat
ed; and busy, chattering tongues were hushed
- with awe, and smiling faces assumed a graver
Cast, for every tone that came out into the
heated prison yard. was inisercre and a requiem
for souls yet in the flesh, and yet departed.
''ese sounds of prayer from the good men—
these signs by which they pointed the repent
ant sinners "through nature up to nature's
God"—all came from one great, blank,
strong, grated window, nude of glass—a
ventilator, it may be, for the tier of
whose . front it commanded partial
view. It was near the ground, and one
but little taller than ordinary humanity could
silently and respectfully see within all that
occurred in one cell, and hear the -smothered
tones that proceeded from the others. Several
members of the press gathered around the
grating, ter all that they could gather there
could well "point a moral," if not adorn a
tale. We saw the cell immediately in front
was that of AtzerOtt, NO. 151 ; the coil to the
right, and by perspeetiVe obseuring alf its oe.

dingy little room, cleanly with whitewash, but
sombre with darkness, was Atzerott. We had
read descriptions of him, but we contest that
none of them gave us the idea we gained.

TUE ArEETYNGS AND TUN PARTIYDS
Shortly 'before half-past twelve ore: lock the
sisters of Darold, seven in number,- wo be

Clergyman oilleiating, Rev. Mr. Olds, of Christ
(Episcopal) Chnrch,) that the farewell was h -
cr.Npressibly tender. Nobody came to sea
Payne, nobody knew him, nobody eared for
him; only in sofar as to gossip about the "
fiery" surrounding . him, about his fine form,
his "game," as his eulogizers vulgarly
termed it, and his great physical :;trenigth.l.lle
sat bolt upright, listening eareadly to the
words of his adviser, Rev. Dr. Gillette, of the
First Baptist Church of this city, but without
any visible emotion, though undoubtedly with
profit. Rev. Dr, Butler was all day with Atze•
reit. Ills brother had visited. Mimi - Ate night
before, mid his five sisters early in the morn-
Mg. His mother visited Jhim. about the
St 1.111() time that the sister and daughter
of Mrs. Safett visited her. The obi Treothor
knelt by her saenig bell, as he revlieea' IC the
position we have already described; kissing
him again with all the yearning tenderness Of
a sorrowing mother's loVe. In the first few
minutes of the meeting, she spoke no'
word, and neither did her son. Ifer affec
tion tonclied him, and when at last
she caught him in her arms and embraced
him as if she would never let hint go—nevthi
let him go opt to death, so early, so useful—he
burst into tears, and the bronzed soldierS and
officers who stood guard at the door, manfully
as they struggled against their rising enro•
tions, conid not help-mingling their tears.with
those of the mother and the son.
But, perhaps, the most affecting of all the
partings was that between Mrs. Suratt and
her sister and daughter. The devotion of the
latter baS been Sketched, but she was equalled
in a sister's love. Nothli.g could be seen in
the cell, hut the words were loud and full, of
agony: "Oh mother, I can never let you gO
was the - whit cry of Miss Suratt. "Oh ! sister,.
sister," was all the other could say. •
SEEM
Ilut this weeping and lamentation could not
last forever. The time Came at last for the
punishment due to an enormous crime. The
friends and relatives *ero separated, after
taking the last farewells, the arms of each, of
the four were secured behind their backs,
and everything was nearly ready for the jour
ney to the scaffold.
While these scenes wore transpiring in. the
prison, and after the gathering of five or six
hundred citizens, and soldiers had become
habituated to their moving 'within, a rumor
gained currency that " Payne last night hat
inatle;a eonfesSiOn, which is very important to
Mrs. Suratt, and would, at least, result in a
reprieve. 3, We give below what was called
the " confession
The Rev. Dr. A. Gillette had had a great
deal of conversation with Payne. He re
-vealed to him the fact that he was a son
of Itev. George C. Powell, a Baptist clergy.:
man, residing at Live Oak StatiOn, in Tat=
It - Masse° county, Florida, He had two bro
thers, both of 'whom he believeS were killed
in the Confederate service, and several
sisters. Ile says he enlisted in the rebel ser
vice when he was sixteen years old, and is now
about twenty years of age. He was captured'
at the battle of Gettysburg and haprisoned
Baltimore, where lie succeeded in making his
escape. Ile subsequently joined Harry Gil
morls levees, but.became dissatisfied and de
serted. Ito afterwards emmected himself with
Mosebrs band of guerillas;- and here, he says,
he found a most desperate set of fellows. Ile
says he enlisted in the rebel service from a
sense of duty, and with a conscientious
belief that he was performing an obligation
he owed to his (the Confederate) Govern
ment. It Should be here stated that he says
be entered the rebel service against the
will of his parents. He was induced 'to
join the cavalry forces under Moseby on
account of his inability to stand the severe
marches of the infantry, aud, says that he fre
quently became faint, and fell to the ground.
To his. connection with Moseby's baud he at
tributds his introduction to Booth, and the
evils ,-ouseenent thereto. He desired the
clergyman to let Mr. Seward know that "lie
had no malice against him, as between man
and man," to use his . own words, "but 70,1
had agreel to do his duty, and., could not
as he then mistakingly thought, back out."
He said he was to have no reward for it; no
compensation had been promised him. The
only benefit he expected to derive was the
approVal of his so.ealled_Grevernment,_ Ho ex,
.114-Gt,- he was successful, and he
bad always been led to believe that the Con
federacy would triumph,either by the force of
ATMs or the recognition of foreign Powers.
He says the first idea was to capture the Pre
sident, Mr. Seward, and other prominent Cha
racters. With that understanding he was per 7.
suaded to lend his assistance. The plan of
assassination was broached at the very last
moment. Ho requested Dr. Gillette to write
to his relatives, and say that he repented and
lutd his hope in lletecen. He impressed tho
clergyman as a person of more than ordinary
intellect, and possessed of correct religious
ideas. He had a few small articles, a knife,
and a Bible, which he desired the clergyman
to send to his people. lie has six sisters. In
the Bible were some flowers he had pressed—
white convolvolus and blue larkspur—that
had grown in his prison-yard: lie was entirely
resigned to his fate, and said he could never
again enjoy life, even if he were pardoned
This rumor wtts passed along industriously
through the crowd, gathering. as it went, till
at last, many believed and asserted that the
reprieve had actually been sent, and was now
in the hands of Father Wiget, who would pro
mulgate it in the old-fashioned, romantic way'
just as the noose was tightening round her
neck, and another second would find her on
the borders of eternity. Much sympathy was
expressed in a sly way for Mrs. Suratt, because
she was a "woman."
"It is barbarous, anyhow, to hang a woman,'
one would say.
"women are very rarely hung in any coun
try, and our Government will not clo
would chime in another, till at last, in some
minds, it botanic not only an improbable but
an impossible matter that Mrs. gttratt should
be hung that clay. But all their speculations
are hushed, for lo ! the prison door opens, and
by the bustle wiihin : by the serried ranks
of bayonets filing all the vestibule, the
front ranks kneeling, and those in the
rear standing erect, and the exit of Major
General Hancock and Brigadier General Mit
ellen and staffs, it is readily guessed that soon
the condemned will appear.
This door is on the right of the penitentiary,
and opens on a little recess formed by the
abutment of a small building which juts
against the main one. Many of the members
of the press now stationed themselves in the
shade, and against the wall of the building,
while guards on the other side of the pavement
crossing this recess, made an avenue through
whiel, the paioty could pass, Other gentlemen
of the press and officers ranged themselves
im
mediately in front of the scaffold, and on
which arm-chairs were placed for the crimi
nals, the last they should ever use.
It was now ten minutes after one. The sun
was at meridian, and pouring down a fearfn
heat on the treeless jail-yard, bathing in per
spiration every one its ruddy beams attacked.
Preceded by a few soldiers, with fixed bayo
nets, and flanked by her confessors, Mrs. So
ratt ad:livered. Harold followed her, just
appearing in view as Mrs. Suratt descended
the single step leading from the prison floor.
At zerott and his chaplain appeared, the
criminal so small as to be completely hidden
by Mrs. Suratt when standing on a level with
her; following her was Harold and chaplain;
be foolish err nilnal scarcely so much noticea:
ble. Payne, towering above all, was the last to
appear. As they passed by us with slow and
measured step we could scan each carefully
and note the effect that the grim scaffold had,
and the graves and the rough pine boxes that;
were at its side.
MRS. SITRATT
was clad in deep black. A serge bonnet,
from which depended a thick black veil, ethn
oletely obscured every feature except the
eyes, Which would sparkle through. She
walks slowly and feebly, as if endeavoring to
prolonb ber life as long as possible by SLOW
progress to the death iti front, and leaned
heavily on the arms of her confessors. They
Were constantly whispering faith to her.
while one held before her the crucifix as the
star of her hope and the staff of. her faith.
She ascended the scaffold weakly, and was
seated on the chair on the extreme left, the
scatrold fronting southwest.
Atzerott was next in orilor t hatle,ss, with
coat and pantaloons of a dark gray, the coat
buttoned almost to the neck; and showing a
shirt ‘vithout a collar. iie was shoeless. Ile
seemed to look eagerly in,front of him, as if
he knew where he was going, and yet did hot
know ; or as if he strove to see beyond the
awning terror in front, the brightness of the
heaven to which his rOig.iouS adviser had so
earnestly pointed him,, liis step was steady
though, and be went up the fifteen steps

himself on left of Attiewtt.
All eyes were turned io Payne—the mySte

Notice was repaid. A Leghorn hat of the

rigid as marble upon the chair. His eye never
quailed before the dangling nOese so soon to

When the last echo of the last prayer had
died away, the culprits were bidden to rise, so

tied-securely with atont linen bandages, and

tied securely round her dress, expos

and Harold seemed abandoned to their fate,
as they stood upright in the sunlight, ban
daged, and the rope round their necks, their
faces obscured. Payne was as straight and as
fearless as ever. some difficulty was expert•
enced in getting Mrs. Suratt to stand up, so
that she might fall with the rest. The elm
plains relinquished their hold, two soldiers
advanced to steady her, when the drop
fell with a clattering sound, and four bodies
were dangling and quivering in the air.
At exactly twenty-six minutes past one
death came with a shudder to Atzerott, and a
tremor of every nerve in Harold. With them,

back againSt the platform, which gape out a
hollow sound. There were a few spasmodic
twitches; but they were soon over. All were,
after the lapse of twenty minutes or more,
pronounced dead. Earthly justice had done
with them—they had gone now to meet that

None made any exclamation before the fall,

SKETCHES OF THE ASSASSINS?
Mrs. Mary E. Suratt.
Mrs. Mary E. Suratt, the wretched woman
who yesterday, at Washington, expiated lior
many 'crimes on the gallows, is about forty
live or forty-eight years of age. She Is a
woman of groat nerve and energy. She is a
Marylander; and wasraised in Calvert's comity,

belle of Priime George's, and, in the year 1835
was married. The couple at first settled down
at a place called Cowden's Mills, near Camp
Stoneman, Gicsboro, which property had been
bequeathed to Sundt, by an uncle named

when their house was set on fire by a number
of their slaves, and the family barely escaped
death.

he established the tavern known as "Su

master at that point, but he being au unedu
cated man, the duties of the office devolved
upo'n his wife. They had three children—a
daughter and two sons. One of the sons, Isaac,
it is said, went South at the beginning of the
late existing rebellion, and entered- the Con
federate army. John, the other son, remained
about home, wasting his time in idleness and
dissipation. The father was well known as a
pxo-slavery man, and a firm supporter of the
"peculiar institution." He died quite sudden

David C. Harold.
This prisoner was a native of Washing
ton, where he always resided. His father
was for twenty years principal clerk of the
navy Store-house in that city. David was
nearly twenty-three years of age. After at
tending school at Georgetown College, he en
tered a drug store at the corner of Seventh
and L streets, and subsequently left this to
enter another one in the neighborhood of the
State Department. Soon ofter his father's
death (which occurred last fall), Harold gave
up his situation, and up to the time of the
assassination of President Lincoln roamed
around the country adjacent to WilSithigton,
occupying his tinie • principally by hunting,:
fishing, etc. He seemed very fond of this, and
he had been so often engaged in it that he was
thoroughly acquainted with the country bor
de:ring On the : lower Potomac. His knowledge
of these 'wades, it is supposed, was the prin.
cipal reason why Booth succeeded in making
of him au accomplice. He was so boyish in
his conduct, so frivolous and trifling in hi_
manners, and such a braggart in his conversas
then, that p 0 man with the. least common sense
would. have selected him to perform : any
bloody part in a tragedy.
Since his imprisonment, he exhibits the
same chartcteristics he had always displayed,
and it was not until his death-sentence was
read to him, that he seemed to realize the ex
tent of his crime. During the trial, he seemed
more like a : careless school-boy, than ono who
had passed into manhood's days.
His family were Episcopalians, and were
very higbly,esteemed by the citizens of Wash
ington. lie leaves a mother and seven sisters
to bear the load of shame he has heaped upon
their name.

We find the following announcement rela
ting to the New Brunswick and Maine and Eu
ropean and North American Railway Compa
nies in the St. John's (N. B.) Journal:
The New Brunswick company will take 5e0,-
000 in stock, paying, the same down in cash as
required. The Maine company will find the
balance of capital beyond this sum, and the
government gift of $lO,OOO a mile, required to
complete the New Brunswick portion of the
road to the American frontier, that company
having already secured the funds required for
its own end of the line, conditionally on the
entire line being carried through. The Maine
company will build the road, of a character
satisfactory to, the New Brunswick govern
ment and company, and when it is completed
they will accept, a lease, which the Now Bruns
wick company! agrees to grant, of the. road,
the rent to be sufficient to cover the interest
of the stock, minus the government gift of
$lO 000 a mile. Thus the government subsidy
and the New Brunswick subscription list will
enable the Maine company to obtain the capi
tal for their line, while they in turn will reci
procate, New nrellAWieni CO•OPOratio/ 1 ffild
with characteristic energy make the work a
fixed fact.
The above lino of railway will extend from
St. Johns, N. 8., to Bangor, Me.

Wo have rather a full dayPS movements for,
review. The tendency to general improve
ment hi commercial affairs is not, however,
chceked,but the last day of the week is indica
tive of a desire to close up and refrain from
large transactions, to which, we may arid, that
the mails for New York and Europe were to
remain open until the departure of the steam
ship Guiding Star, this evening. The steady
improvement and general amelioration in bu
siness and trade will, it is hoped, be further
illustrated the coming week:, under the further
receipts of cotton which, it will readily he ob
served, is the conirolling agency and barome
ter of all trade at this moment. We have hard
lv an apology or a shadow of a sugar market.
Three or four cargoes have arrived. from Cuba,
for St. Louis account, to which place they will
be forwarded, and the duties there collected,
which obviates the purchase of gold in our
market. '-
ffeueral financial circles we have a quiet
and limited day's transactions for comment.
The exchange market paitieularly WILN in a
state of quietude. The counter rates for
checks on New York varied-- 1 4 per cent, dis
count at some counters., and. % discount at
others, the inside figure an exception. Five

few bills offering. In foreign we heard of no
transactions to warrant or give a line to the
market. Leading dealers quoted rates nomi
nal ; the bank-rate counters were 154 to 155 Land
francs 3.65—we quote the latter outside 3.75 to
