Daniel Kalbfus to the office of Assessor
of the 11th District Pa. Mr. Kalbfus
resides at Mauch Chunk.
03" Wc have on several occasions, during
the past few days, enjoyed the pleasure of a
visit from Charles Welling, Esq , the able
editor of the Long Island Farmer, who is on
a visit to his friends in Stroudsburff. Bro
ther W. is a very clever gentleman, and in
his whole rout ensemble bears positive tes
timony that other places, beside Stroudsburgj
can boast the possession of goo'd looking edi
tors. His visits are always agreeable.
07" Vc learn that the subscriptions to the
fund for the erection of a Woolen Factory
at or near Stroudsburg, have advanced so
far as to render the success of the enter
prise nearly certain. We would advise our
nionicd men to come forward with their sub
ecriutions so that the establishment of the
A
factory may be fixed beyond a peradventure
But a few thousand dollars more are needed
to set the ball in motion, which may, event
ually, make Stroudsburg one of the most
flourishing manufacturing towns in the Com-
raonwealth.
Ji President Johnson had a free
conversation with a South Carolina dele
galion, on Saturday last, in the course of
which he gave the Delegates to under
stand, that in order to be enabled to come
under the good infiuenccs of law and or
der again,-the State must accede to the
decree that Slavery is forever dead.
The talk on both sides was plain, and the
Delegates without an exception, express
ed a perfect acquiescence iu the sugges
tionsof the President. The delegation con
sisted of Judge Frost, Isaac E. Holmes,
Geo. V. Williams, W. lL.Gilliland, J.
A. Steiumcyer. Frederick Richards, Wm.
Wbaiey, James H. Taylor, 11. H. Gill,
and Joseph A. Ycates. Judge FrostVas
the spokesman cf the Delegation, and in
concluding his reply to the Presidents
speech said "We cheerfully accept the
measures recommended, and would thank
you to recommend at your earliest conve
nience, a Governor to c
irn
out the wish
es you have expressed." A Governor
will be appointed in a few days.
The Fourth, of July.
The programme of the celebration at this
place, on the 4th of Jul', will be found in
our columns to-day. It will be seen that
our citizens are in earnest about the cele
bration; and we can Fafely promise to- all
comers such a day as Stroudsburg never saw
before. We will have a good old fashioned
lime; such a one as will enlist the services
and hearty good -will of both old and young
to do honor to the occasion. Wc will have
parades and castings, and fun, and every
thing calculated to make evcrj'bodj'- fee
glad, and nothing, we hope, to mar the gen
era! enjoyment of the day. For the wants
of the inner man our enterprising land
ords will make the most ample preparation ;
and to all .who may come to join with us, our
citizens will extend a most cordial welcome.
To one and all we would say, if you wish to
Eee the Fourth celebrated as it should be, or
if you wish to see the evidence that the spi
rit of'TCl ives in the hearts of '65, come to
Stroudsburg on the 4th, and you will be fully
gratified. Come one, come all.

Death of Admiral Dupont.
Rear Admiral Dupont, of the U. S.
Navy, died at the La Pierre House, in
Philadelphia, ou Priday morning last.
He was born at Bergen, N. J., Sept, 27th,
1S03. Ho cutcrod the service as mid
shipman at twelve, and at fourteen sailed
his first voyage, under Commodore Stew
art. From the beginning he spared no
paius to master his profession, and at an
early period became widely known for his
skill, his abilities and his high personal
character. At uo time siuce the leven oft
rebellion began to sway the country did
he hesitate a moment as to which side he
should espouse in the great contest; and
in his great attack on the rebel strong
holds at Port Koyal and by the great vie
tory there achieved, he demonstrated the
capacity of wooden gunboats to go on con
quering in spite of the prowess of forts
European fleets had so recently retired
baffled . before European fortifications,
that the success of Dupont was deemed
a little short of miraculous, and was at
tributed wholly to his genius as a naval
Commander. Subsequently, he in com
mand of the iron clads made an attack
upon Charleston, S. C, but owing to the
inadequacy of his force, and the imprac
ticability of reducing the city with a Na
val force alone, he failed, and was relicv
ed from his command. The career of
his successor, however, fully justified the
Admirals failure. Throughout the ser
vice, and wherever known in private life,
he was held in high esteem. In the Na
vy he was considered the beau ideal of
a gallant sailor and a great Admiral; and
it is said of him by his brother tars that
more nearly than any other, was he the'
Nelson of America, and like Nelson, his
death leaves the profession bereft of its
brightest ornament. His remains were
interred, with the honors due his station,
at the Dupont buryiug ground, near
Wilmington Delaware.
JKayTho Ilonesdale Republic, in an ar
ticle of nearly three quarters of a column
length, freely ventilates the Judge ques
tion, in this district. The Republic inti
mates that if Judcc Barrett is renomina
ted aud re-elected, it will be seen to that
he pays heed to the Constitutional injunc
tion, by fixing his residence in the dis
trict. Beingmost unmistakably in the
minority, our side of the political house
must content itself with looking on while
the Democracy settle the hash. The
names mentioned in connection with the
position are Judge Barrett, S. S. D

The Conspiracy Trial.
Tho Proceedings in the conspiracy
cases on Monday embraced the arguments
of a portion" of the defense. Hon Rever
dy Johnson read an opinion against the
jurisdiction of the Court, concluding
with a bnet review ot the testimony in
the case of Mrs. Surratt, in which he
contended that the two wituesses, Weich
mau and Lloyd, had involved themselves
morethan they had the lady against whom
they testified. Mr. Stone made a defense
of Harold, and Mr. Cox reviewed at length
the case of O'Laughlin and Arnold, argu
ing that there was uo evidence to show
that they had anything to do with any
conspiracy against the life of Mr. Lincoln.
On Tuesdry, Mr. Ewing, counsel of
Spangler, reviewed the evidence in the
case of his client at great length. He
contended that in attending to Booth's
horse Spangler acted only as an ordinary
drudsc : that the rope about which so
much had been said, found in Spangler's
carpet-bag, had been taken by him for
fishing purposes, and that the prepara
tions made in the theatre for the assassi
nation prior to the event, had evidently
been done by Booth, who always Jiad
ready access to the house. At the con
clusion of- his argument the court ad
journed.
On. Wednesday, Mr. Doster, counsel
lor rayne, read a long aetense oi nis
client. He did not attempt to deny, that
Payne had been proved guilty, but en
deavored to palliate his crime on the
ground that in attempting to assassinate
Secretary Soward, Payne was merely do
ins: what he believed to be right. A
sketch of Payne's life was given, to show
he was a pro-slavory fanatic, and that his
endeavor to murder the man whom he
lorked upon as one of the important expo
nents of anti-slavery doctrines was a na
tural result of his Southern education.
Mr. Doster did not, of course, approve of
Payne s act, but insisted shafc he was not
a hired assassin, and that the court should
consider'how far he was acting from hon
est conviction. He also read a confession
of Atzerott. The prisoner confesses that
he entered into Booth s first conspiracy
to capture President jjiucion, Due says
that when afterwards that became im
practicable, and assassination was pro
posed, he declined to have anything fur
ther to do with the plot. He states that
uootn wanted nim to muraer vice l'rcs-
ident Johnson, but that he refused to do
so.
Another argument in defence of Mrs
Surratt was read by Mr. Aiken, after
which the court adjourned till Friday.
-Ewing, on Friday, made an able de

are to be presented, which, it is expected,

8th, 1S65, from you, but as I have no
means of knowing what kind of blanks
he sent, I write for information. In this

additional fifty cents has been affixed by
the Clerk of the Court making the entry
