brought tip n't Charlotte, a town) in Southern

prevailed at Columbia 1 and places where we
balled on the way. Public documents were
being packed and shipped foV safety to parts
unknown. Supplies and ..munitions of war
were no Sooner loaded by' the authorities
than they were unloaded by.he citizens who
took possession of tbe cars at£ fold the milita
ry that they (the citizens) btllt the railroad
and now they would use it to get out of the
way of the arch Yankee zherman. > It was
emueing.to see editors end f.ther. gentlemen of
the press, who bad hitherto b'ieo looking for tbe
“last ditch," who could fight a ‘tremendous
battle with tbe qnil), packing-'up their little
machinery and streaking for the oars with gi
gantic strides. It was still-'more so. to see
what a display of white feathers'was made by
tbe troops. Men who could'l-sbopt a Yankee
prisoner as deliberately as thf'Jgh he was a dog
were trembling in their boots. ’in| importuning

we could not conscientiously-, pardon for
them. Two companies stalk id their arms,
said they would not fight po’i inarch a mile,
but when they were told w< tlete going for ex
change they consented to go, hoping to get to
our lines. ? '
At Charlotte, we were again turned into an
open field and told that we were-to be paroled
immediately and sent home,; This we'eupposed
was but a rebel trick to keep_us from running
tbe guard ae they were becoming eo badly de
moralized that it was not to do so.—
Many of us availed ourselv! Vof the opportu
nity and left them. I went *,Uh a party of five
but was taken'up the third < iy, brought back
to camp, and greatly to our t urprise they had
commenced to parole. Twc hundred of those
who remained, in camp had . Irehdy started for

paroled us, and we followed leui; 22d arrived

THE AGITATOR.
' M. H. COBB, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR
WSMSBOHOVOB, FBNN’A.
WEDNESDAY, : : : : MAY 31, 1865,
VJ ,
We-confese to a pang of pity when the news ,
of the capture of tha indlvidual whose initials
stand'at the head of this article was announc
ed. Not that either the man, or bis career, or
his cause, had ever provoked, onr sympathy or
admiration; for there ie nothing in either to
sympathise with or admire-. Bat the ignomin
ious fall of any sentient being te a- grievous,
thing. ’ And this constrains to pity, while the
rightminded must rejoice at the downfall of a’-
public enemy, and earnestly hope for his con
dign punishment.
We shall never forget the spectacle which
was presented in the Senate' Chamber during
the month nt May, 1860, when Jefferson Davie,
Judah P. Benjamin, Hubert Toombs, Louis T.
Wigfall, James’ S-, Green, J&mea M. Mason,
John Slidell, and others less prominent of the
■ Slaveooraey, made their memorable attempt 1 to
annihilate Douglas. , - The galleries, crowded
to suffocation, attested the public .estimate of
the character and magnitude of the straggle;-
knd it was then, for the-first lime, that we pnt
away many prejudices, and under tbe compul
sion of tbe intellectual grandeur of the man,
came to admire and respect Stephen A. Doug
las. It was then, too, that .we learned to ab
hor and loathe Jefferson Davis.
.During that week of exciting combat of ten
traitors with one true and fearless man, we
made tbe face of Davis our chief study; for
he was the master-spirit of the arrogant cham
pions of Slavery. We seem to see him now,
“sitting upon bis book," shooting venomous
glances at Douglas from eyes that rather twin
kled with malice than glowed with intellect.
Tbe air and attitude of tbe man showed a con:
soiouinesß of power, hot tbe expression of -the
countenance-betokened more faith in craft and
questionable intrigue than devotion to princi
ple. He reminded one of a oat about to epring
upon her victim. There wae the same eager
unrest, and tension of tbe muscles; but above
all, and marked, there was tbe same expression
of relentless cruelty in hie eye. It seemed im
possible that any right thinking and meaning
man could look into that eloquent face and not
, abhor the owner.
Once, when Pong]as brought him face to
face with bis record, Davis lost bis self-control,
and springing up and toward bis remorseless
flayer, ebook bis clenched hand is his face.
Then tbe traitor’s face worked with the pas
sions of a malignant devil., The Douglas lift
ed his grand head and shook bis black mane,
and none will forget who heard him say, in the
level tones which mean mote and menace mote
than the words they convey—“ £sx StXAToa
caiwoi umxiSATi ia I” And if ever con
duct of man made his late'escapade in petti
coats credible, tbe crest-fallen air with which
Davis slunk into his seat on that occasion, was
ample to that end.
A few minutes subsequently, the hardy and
fearless Illinoian turned bis attention to the
record of certain Virginia politicians. Then
it was that the truculent Mason rushed down
from the chair of the Sergeant-at-Arms (be
bad taken it that he might face the speaker),
his face purple with rage and distorted with
passion, and striding up to the front row of
desks, within a few feat of Douglas, shook’ his
fist at the latter, exclaiming in excited tones—
“ Fott lit I you lit , sir I you lit I" There sat
Jeff. Daria, -Benjamin, Toombs, androtber sons
of chivalry on the floor; and there sat Vice-
President Breckinridge, in the Obair, the beau
ideal of a gentleman, of course; but -not one
of these asked for the enforcement of the rules.
It was left for Trumbull, of Illinois, to demand
order. And order was commanded, in dulcet
tones, by the accomplished Breckinridge. But
Douglas was not to be cheated of hie triumph.
Turning his blazing eye* upon the fuming Vir
ginian. said be—“ History does not flatter that
“ Senator; but he thail not intimidate me, nor
“ divert me from my ttojtct." Kor did be.
Nor could besotted Green, of Missouri, urged
on by Wigfall.,by his maudlin question* save
Jefferson .Davis and his companions'in crime
from the merciless lash. Those who witnessed
that memorable debate will never forget the.
writhings of Davis and 'Mason under the criti
cisms of Douglas. His tongue was a sharp
sword, and it clove its way down : through their
flimsy sophistries into the quick of their pride.
That was five years ago. - Jefferson Davis
watt as guilty in intention, then, as he is in act
this day. He has run his. race ; yesterday de
fying God and map, and to-day ehorn of all
save his evil conscience and the memory of
what hh might have been. Great, in aught
beside ambition, be never was; and tbe sum
of his achievements may be stated as tbe re
pudiation of honest Indebtedness and the cold
-blooded murder of half a million of man
Copperhead editors make great ado to show
that their eanse suffered irreparable damage
when the rebellion collapsed. That is unnec
essary. Everybody knows and admits it.
When Sherman took Atlanta they called it a
barren victory, and pointed to Richmond, and
declared Lee invincible. When Sheridan an
nihilated Early they declared that Lea and Joe
Johnston weio invincible. When l Savannah
fell they pointed to Richmond and Lee. And
when Richmond fell they exultingly announced
that Lee had taken off his magnificent army
intact. Bat when the news of Lee's surrender
came, they hastened to pin their faith upon Job
Johnston’s sleeve: They said be had a large
veteran army and would give Sherman trouble.
And once they seized upon a rumor of Sher
man’s repulse and brightened np amalingly.
When the news of the absurd eonvantion be-1
tween Sherman and Johnston came, they fair- [
ly bloomed with joy ; for that convention rec- :
ognized the Confederacy ; and in recognizing
the Confederacy it recognized Copperheadism.
So the little snakes wriggled with joy, and be
-gen4o talk - abou t Sherman for-President in ■
1868, and hissed as happy as a parcel of tea
kettles. Bat Johnston’s unconditional surren
der burled, them back to despair, where they
sat in grief until the other day, when Kirby
Smith’s pronunoiamento, from Texas, swearing
eternal enmity to law and order, oame, and
“ waked the snakes." Behold them comforted.
“ We never hear of any democratic mobs,"
soys a Ooppery'sßeet-before us. Oh, no, of
course not. Where were you for the fifteen
years before tbe rebellion, that you beard not
a word about, the every day lynching of men
and' women in the Sodth for 'opinion's sake T
Where were yon in 1857, when the Fernando'
Wood party thronged the streets of New York
threatening to burn the city, and keeping the
military under arms for. daje-f_.,And .where
were you during the draft riots in 1663, when
tbe gentleman ruffians of yonr party beat wo
men and children to death with clubs, destroy
ed millions oE property.-and - saddled -a debt of
millions upon New York 1 And finally, where
hare you been for the Inst four years, that you
have not heard of the mob-uprising of your
party under ibe-'lead-of one Davis, and'lts at
tempt to destroy the last vestiges of liberty in
America f If you have nsver heard of a ‘dem
ocratic mob,’ possibly you have beard of an
“ aristocratic mob."
Jefferson Davis made a speech in tbe Senate
on the John Brown raid daring the session of
1859-60, in which the policy of meroy toward
law-breakers was that summarily disposed of;
" Who would seek to dull the sword of Joi
tioe in favor of him whose crime connects with
all that is moat abhorrent to humanity, the vi
olation of every obligation to the social com
pact, the laws, the Constitution, the require
ments of public virtue and personal honor?"
As be measured out to 'John Brown, who
was captured in pantaloons, so will th« people
measure out to the sneaking ooward who ran
away in bis wife’s morning gown.
The'New York Daily Newt, a rebel organ,
perpetrate* a stupendous joke upon its Copper
head supporters. It eaya that but for bi* rec
ord during the rebellion, Andrew Johnson
would be entirely acceptable at the candidate
of that party for the next Presidency. Just
so. Andrew'Johnson's record daring the re
bellion ie too thoroughly loyal to gain him the
favor of traitors. We propoee that either Jeff
Davis, or Atterodt, be reprieved and reserved
for the nomination of that party, Their rec
ord would present no obstacle to preferment In
the adjonrned Chicago Convention.
We are told by a newspaper correspondent
that (be porting between Pavia and hie family
waa affecting.- - That ie punishment in kind.
Jeff. Paris hat filled the country with like sor
lawful partings, thousands of which are for
life.’ Could all the heart-wrenching* that suf
fered through bit wickedness be combined and
laid upon him, it would-ba.fitting-punishment.
Living or dead, hit soul cannot itrugglo from
under the mountainous curse ot the people.
The Herald’s Raleigh correipondent explains
how the rebel archive* fell into our hands.—
Gen. Johnston notfied Gen. Schofield that they
were at Charlotte, and the latter tent Lieut.
Washburn for them. Gen. Johnston received
Lieut. W, very courteously and told him where
the documents were concealed in the cellar.—
He had already turned them over to the Union
commander of tho poet, as-he had no troope to
put over them as guard. They were found io
eighty-three boxes of all siset end descrip
tions.
The Tribune -Washington Special says, the
Attorney General has Just made a most im
portant decision. He affirms that (be Amnes
ty Proclamation was a means only to seoure a
specific purpose, which was tbs suppression of
the rebellion. The rebellion ended, the am
nesty it void; it doss not restore oitiiensfaip,
property, or restored right*. The President
has no power to pardon except for. what it
passed.
The late order of the War Department that
in all oases of sentence by military tribunals
of imprisonment during .the war, sentences be
remitted and the prisoners discharged, applies
in part to a number of deserters whowere sent
to the Dry Tortuga*-as a punishment for their
orimts. This act of clemency by direction of
the President, was considered just to our citi
zens, before inning an amnesty proclamation
affecting rebels recently in arms against the
United States authorities.

Now York, May 27,1865.
Four Suits, May 27,1665.
Trial of tbe Assassins.
REVIEW OF THE TESTIMONY
It is understood that the evidence fur the
prosecution is now about closed, andsave what
has been drawn oat in secret seas ion, we are
now enabled tq.understand whaj are the fea
tures of the case ae proved againstthe several
defendants. - First in order of certanty of facts
adduced, is Lewie Paype.is shown to have been
the confederate of Booth, ond guilty of an as
sault with intent to kill Hon. Wm. H. Seward,
Frederick W. Seward, Augustus H. Seward,
Bmeriok W. Hansel! and George F. Robinson.
The’ antecedents of this prisoner are not known;
and the .first heard of him so far as tbe proofs
gn,.ic Jits appearance at _the residence,of Mrs.,
Surratt in the early part of March last, when
he stated that his name was Wood. He called
for John H. Surratt; but in the absence of the
latter he asked for Mrs. Surratt, lie lodged
there that night, taking his meals in his room,
and departed the next day. About the same
time he appears to. have taken a room in com
p Hoy with O’Laughlin in a boarding-house in
D street, where they were frequently visited by
Booth. Here these prisoners remained for
about three weeks. In tbe meantime, Payne
put up two or three'days at Surratt’s, where
John H- Surratt, Atseroth, Booth and himself
bad secret cosuhations. On bis second visit,
Payne represented-, himself to some of tbe in
mates that be was a Baptist preacher. He and
■Surratt were found at one time in the bed-room
playing with bowte knives. In this room were
two revolvers and four sets of spars of tbe same
kind as tbe spur and revolver found in Atser
:othis room at the Kirkwood House.- At an
other time, just before tbe assassination, he is
found occupying a room at the Herndon, where
be is visited by Atzerdtb. Tbe proof of’his
confederating with Booth and his accomplices
iV beyond a doubt. That it was Payne.who
made tbe assault upon Mr. Seward, and - the
others injured in the Secretary’s bouse, is as
certain os human testimony oan establish any
fact..
Squally as certain is tbe evidence that Her
rold was Booth's accessory before and after tbe
fact. He is first found in confidential relations
with-the-assassin in tbe early part ofFebraary,
and be ie several times discovered in secret
meetings with Booth, Atzeroth and others of
the conspiracy. Ha is once found-at Mrs.
Surratt's in company with them. With Sur-'
rattin company with them. With Surratt
and Atzeroth be called at the tavern in 'Sat
rattsvilie and left tbe two carbines, ammuni
tion, 40., whloh were taken away from that
place by him and Booth on'the night of the
assassination. During their flight be acknowl
edges to Confederate soldiers that ba and Booth
are the assassins of tbs President; and be is
captured in tbe barn with Booth, as has been
folly detailed heretofore. There is no doubt
whatever of his gnilt, and be will suffer the pen
alty of bis crime, as it shall be defined by tbe
commietion.
Atserotb, like the last named prisoner, is
proved to have been a conspirator, and makes
bis first appearance at Mrs. Surratt’s in tbs
etrly part of Febnary, inquiring for John H.
Surratt or Mrs. Surratt, and is frequently found
is secret communication with Booth and fals
confederates. To him was assignedtfaermnrder
of President Johnson at the Kirkwood House j
but notwithstanding there was no obstacle in
the way of its performance, he' dote not seem
to have made any effort to get acoess to his in
tended victim on the night of the 14th of April.
On-the morning of that day be took a room at
Kirkwood's where Mr. Johnson was putting
up, and was seen thereat noon about half past
six o’clock in the evening. 8e was. traosd
there on horseback, hat was not apparently
about the bouse after that hour. He proved
false to bis confederate* no doubt. Such
would he hut in keeping with hie character.
He was active cooperation with them, however,
throughout the night, and fled at daylight the
next morning. Of his guilt there is not a
shadow of a doubt.
Mrs. Surratt appears to have been oognicant
of the intended orime almost from Its inception,
and became an active participant in overt aots.
She was a general manager, she received and
entertained at her house all the crimnals except
Dr.Mndd.O’Laoghlin and Arnold; wltfi Dr.
-M. she planned the means .and assistance for
the escape of the assassins. She visited Mudd
at 6 o’clock on the day of the assassination, to
see that the carbines, eot., should b» in read!-
. ness, and informed him they wonld be called
for-tbat night. Booth frequently called at her
house held long confidential talks with hsr.
He was with bet a few minutes on the afternoon
of the 14th. As an accomplice of Booth and a
participant in bis crime, she cannot escape the
penalty of tfas law.
■ Dr. Uudd’s status is identical. At early at
November last he is shown to have been in the
confidence of Booth. He had a suspicious
meeting with Surratt and Booth at the Nation
al Hotel in January. Be introduces Booth to
.Surratt. Booth visits him at his room in the
Pennsylvania House. The assassins fly to his
house direct after committing the murder. He
. dresses Booth’s wound and assists tho esoape
of .tho latter and Harrold, end when called upon
by tbs officers three days afterward, denies
that he knows either of (be criminals. When
arrested on tbs Friday following, he prevari
cates, lies outright, and finally be knew Booth.!
He says he first heard of the assassination on'
Sunday after it was committed, at oburab;
and yet it is shown by abundant proof that he
was in Qryantown the day preceding, Saturday
at an hour when the populace was all excite
ment, the town guarded by and full of soldiers,
and every man, woman and obild-in the place
had not only beard of tbs murder, but knew
-the name of the assassin. Dr. Mudd la doubt
less guilty, but with wbat degree of punisbment
he will be adjudged remains for the commis
sion to determine.
Spangler does not appear to have bean in
the conspiracy according to the proofs, at an
earlier hoar than a few boars before the com
mission of the crime. If be be guilty, hie par
ticipation would appear to have been in pre
paring the means of escape, by keeping the
passageway clear on the stage, and by closing
the door after Booth bad passed oat, so as to
retard the movements of pursuers. Some proof
has been offered to connect him with the prep
aration of the bar which fastened the f door
leading to the Presidents bos but the evidence
.is vague and uncertain. That be knew the
purpose of Booth, that ha promised a few min
utes before tbs murder to help the assassin, is
os clearly ehown by testsmony as any fact In
the-case.
: To O’Laughlin appears to have been assigned
the murder' of Gen. Grant, but whether he
failed to make the attempt from lack of courage,
'from disinclination, or from failure of opportu
nity dew not appear. Gin. Grant was anaona-
oed to appear at the theatre, but euddenly and ('THE NIMTJB NATIONAL Bank
unexpectedly tpok the .cars for Philadelphia, j 0? T be crrr op xew tore
Aizeroth made t tha remark the next, day, when 1
it rras repotted ithat Gen. Grant had been shot,
“ probably it ia[the fact, if he woe followed by
tbe man, that was to du it.” -
O’Laughlin ie clearly »lu>wu to have been in
sotneciuiepirfioy with Booth, as. bas.been slated
before. He was found lurking in the hall of
Secratary Stanton’s boose- on the night of the
13th of. April, evidently, watching. U»e wose
meDta of Gen. Grant. Whether he backed out
of the conspiracy on Friday, (he day .<t the
assassination, or not ie not clear.
Arnold, as has been stated, was in full com
munion with the conspirators but It is claimed
by his attorney that the proofs' show that tbe
plot was formerly to abduct tbe President, end
that Arnold and Booth quarreled, and tbe
former withdrew from the conspiracy, and went
to Fortress Monroe, where be was prior to and
on the 14th of April. His chances of escape
from participation in the murder are fair.

are, a larger sale of goods in proportion to my expen
ses than most any house in the country, also no losses
by’ old goods or credit accounts. Ido not carry a
very heavy stock, but intend to keep ell goods that
sen be eold to advantage, making no loads as is cus
tomary In many houses to draw trade; selling a few
goods very low and making up on others, but selling
all goods at a very low .scale of profits, and giving
small buyers as good a chance as large ones. be.
