told him him, and appointed a meeting- .
I spoke to this wan Payne in Clay't absence*
and* asked him who he was. • ‘fOb; Fra 3
Canadian,” which was to say, I 1 sn’t wish
you to ask me anything more. I nentioned
him to Clay when-I met him afM,i;;a time;
Clay asked, “ What did" he say?” ' t told him,
and Clay, answered,- * • That’s so,- he is a Cana
dian," and laughed; he added,' ‘ 1 We trust
him.” “ Canadian” is an expression for their
friends; and his conduct was an indication
that their intercourse was of a Very confident
-tialpature. ■
I have been in Canada since tbit assassma?
tion; a few days after I met Bet irly Tucker
at Montreal. He said " Mr. Lim oln deserved
his death long agothat “it was a pity.hfe
did not die long agoand that if; was too bad
the boys bad not been allowed to go when they -
wanted to. He referred-to the men. who were t
to .assassinate him. . . - ’J 1 '
T bad a conversation with. Wm. C.jCJeary,
. and told him what Mr. Thompson said in Jan
uary. He said that Booth was,one of'the <par
, ties to whom Thompson had referred. He al
so said that it. was too bad ; ihqt She whole
work had not been done—referring iq the as
sassination, Cleary, who was' a'confidant' of
Thompson, told me so. Thompson said Cleary
vrasa very, do Be mouthed man. Cleary alsp
e%id that “they-had better look opt’; we are
not done yet.” • He remarked that, they would
neyepjhe- conquered would never give up.—
He algo ggid that Booth had visited Thompson
in tbe' ; wintet end in the summey.* These par
ties they, were suspected of the assassin a
tion.^fewdaya-after, and were destroying a
_ a great-many papers; so they told me.
: T acted.as a government detective, in Canada
and assumed the ' name .of Jamesr Thompson,
though I never registered it, but always some
other name. My whole object was to serve the
government.- I saw this cipher (fognd among
Booths effects) in , Mr. Clay's •'house, at St.
Catherine's,-in the summer of ,1868*, I carried
dispatches from Canada to GordubsvUle, and
received a reply, which I carried bf-hk. Lcatne
through Washington- each time and delivered
the dispatches to the United States government;
received the -dispatch at Gordonsville from a
man in the rebel State Department, from their
Secretary of State ; I carried this paper to
Thompson. All those persona, Baffled Thomp
eon. Clay,--Cleary, &0., represenjad themselves
in the service of the confederate government. —
Received this.dispatch in •October'Cast. Clay
plained to represent the Wap-Department.
- They approved the burning of the northern
, cities, and they represented themselves as
having foil powers from the rebel government
i to apfwithout referring their projects to Rich
mond. Thompson and Clay both said so.—
The attempt, to bum New York, city I knew
they-were engaged in, and wepi to Washing
ton three days, before it happened, to commun
--icate it- They approved also of the St. Albans
raid. In regard to raiding, hir. Clay |had the
funds,.-He said he bad alwayf,plenty of mon
ey to.pay for anything that wasSfsporth, paying
for. - Lknew they deposited in • afferent banks.]
Clay said-not to tell- Sanders what they in- :
trusted;to me. Ho said that .a'e -was, a very
goodman to do their dirty wortc; that be asso
, dated with men that they could not associate
with; that he, was very useful fe. that way.—
I inferred from Beverly Tuck'Jr’s words- that
they bad delayed the assassination waiting the
approval from Richmond. . •
Greeks on the Overthrow of be Rebellion.
On the 37-tb-of April the Hst enic Greeks .of
Constantinople sent to Hon, E. Joy Morris,
' Atnericah Minieter to-Turfeey, an address of
congratulation on the overthrow of the slave
holdfng rebellion, concluding as follows:
The last American straggle must be inscribed
with' golden letters in the annals of history, for
'it wAs'abattle for the dearest rights of man.
All mankind participate in, the benefits of the.
victory achieved, and from all parts of
the thanks of sympathizingtfillions ore tender

and Valor through which the-cause of right was
finally crowned with success. ’
Accept, honored sir, these v heartfelt congrat
ulations of the Greeks of Constantinople ; and
may God inspire other nations,toa similar ex
hibition of heroic virtues when their liberty
and independence are assailed.
On the 30th of the same, month they sent to
Mr. Morris an eloquent address of sympathy
with the United States in their great bereave
ment. The following are extracts:
Overcast with clouds of woe are the faces of
sorrowing millions! Universal humanity weeps

man, the saviour of his country, the illustrious
President Lincoln, has fallen a victim to the

passions of slavery, which in vain vented their
fury against the solid structure of the Ameri

malevolence in the murder of the best of men

Another martyr to liberty and right has been
sacrificed to the hatred of-the enemies of the
people; but the great republic of which lie was '
the head, and which they sought to kill also,
lives in spite of their malicious rage. It yet
lives, thanks to God, a terror to despots and a
pillar of hope to oppressed millions.

Under the sun, and it threatens to send many
young men perdition-ward in unseemly haste.
Neither profession nor vocation can ennoble
any man. Vocations, are of.various grades,:
but one is as. honorable- as another if as. well
followed. Thus, to chop cord-wood, and to ex
cel in that, is as meritorious as to practice law,
or conduct a newspaper with eqnal industry,
fidelity and integrity.
Because all honest labor, whether of band
or brain, is noble. All rightly directed, effort
is holy ; and men Who alike faithfully fulfil the
parts assigned to them in ’the world’s wprk, are
in that respect, equal. 1
Show os a man, or boy, who is ashamed of
an honest vocation, and we will show you a
useless spoke in the wheel, a decided milksop
and failure.' He can never “ arqonnt to a'row
of pins.” : .
A good scavenger is a better citizep than an
incompetent, indolent,'unprincipled merchant,
lawyer, editor, or preacher. A man should be
measured fey his actual worth as a worker.
Just as theory is worthless without practice,
genius is .'worth nothing without talent, and
talent is worth nothing without aptitude.. No
man can be ennobled by bis vocation, therefore,
but must stand upon the level hounded and de
fined bv bis usefulness.
The young, man can not safely presume to
violate the healthful rules of order and sobriety
because of services rendered to the community
or. to the country. This brings ns to what we
intended to say:
To have served the country in the field du
ring its .fight for life is cause 1 for pride and
grntulation. It is a rich- legacy to one's child
ren® This country has never forgotten its he
roes and never will. Rut when one putaon the
blue be takes no benefit thereby.,unless be so
bears himself eg to reflect, credit npop.-the ser
vice.' It,is a mistake to suppose that
necessarily works any change in the character..
- But when a man pats on the blue, be takes
upon himself a great-responsibility. He con
tracts to keep that uniform nnsoiled by any act
unworthy of soldierly fame. If he fulfil the
terms of the contract, he honors and ennobles
the service, and so is honored by reflection.
Buthaving done bis part well, be holds the
good repate of the service hi frost. He beg
' ho right to bring .discredit upon the service by
conduct unbecoming a patriot soldier. Having
once worn the blue with honor, he ean never
put it off. Whatever he does on bis return to
civil life roust brighten or dim the repute he
earned on the field. His fame is his : ebtihtry's
(fame, hjs disgrace its disgrace. ',
The soldiers of the republic*are its citizens.
The citizen is the maker and exeoptor of the
laws! Bad citizens make bad laws; and this
fact bars the citizen’from complaint when leg
islatures enact t unwise and oppressive laws.
If yon want wise laws reform the .citizen.
The spectacle of a drunken soldier is always
painful. Jet this is the besetting vice of the
young soldier when discharged the service and
returned home. Freed from military restraint,
hg finds himself nnable to use his new-found
freedom with that calm deliberation which
pertains to perfect freedom. He is surrounded
by .the idle and the vicious. He' has more
money than he knows bow to spend in a’right
way. His vicious companions .undertake to
assist him ; and the result is disorder, loss of
character, conscience, and cash.
Ji|st as certain as young soldiers carry large
sums of money about their persons, will they
fall an «asy pmy to sharpers who manage to
live without any visible means of support. It
cannot be otherwise. When a soldier' surren
ders to Capt.- Whiskey he is a fair bird to be
.plucked.
And'as for procuring drink, we see no rea
son why men should not sell their wares to the'
customers who bid highest. Returned soldiers
cannot complain of the-man who sells them li
quor. All tradesmen love cash customers.
Therefore let every soldier remember that if
the respect which he owes to the service does
not restrain him from making a spectacle of
himself, then there is no salvation for him.
He must expect to be plundered and imposed
upon. The law will not interpose to save him
until he is lost.
Some have suggested the revival of temper
ance organizations as a means to reclaim these
unfortunate young men from the paths of vice.
Well; but where are yonr martyrs^—such as
endured revilings, and persecutions, and an
noyances without name or number, in the day
preceding that in which- temperance became
fashionable 1
Alas I What mountains of work-was done to
establish that good, bnt now obsolete fashion 1
Neither one, two, nor three men will take
the responsibility of reorganizing the temper
ance cause. When community 'sickens •of its
degradation,-then men will pall together.
Bat how can this great evil be restrained T ,

Desorter* and Non- Reporting Conscript*.
. By the terms of an act of Congress approved
the-3d day of March, 1865, deserters from the
army and conscripts who have failed Jto report
to tt e proper officers, are placed in a woful
plight. If we read the terms of the'aot of Con
gress aright, all those referred to therein, have
forfeited their citizenship, and are to all intents
and purposes, in the position of aliens debarred
from the exercise of all political rights and the
bolding of offices of crust and profit under the
Government. The act of Congress distinctly
declares, that—
“All who have deserted the military or navel
service of the United States, who shall not re
turn to said service or report themselves to a
Provost Marshal within sixty days after the
proclamation hereinafter mentioned, shall be
deemed .and token to have voluntarily relin
quished and forfeited ' their rights to become
citizens; and such deserters shall be forever
incapable of bolding any office of trust or profit
under the United States, or of exercising any
rights of citizens thereof; and all persons who
shall hereafter desert the military or naval
service, and all - persons who, being duly en
rolled, shall depart the jurisdiction of the dis
trict in which he is enrolled, or go beyond the
limits of the United States with the intent to
avpid any draft into the military or naval ser
vice duly ordered, shall be liable to the penal
ties of this section. And the President is
hereby authorized and required forthwith, on
the passage of this act, issue his proclamation
setting forth the provisions of this section, in
which proclamation the President is requested
to. notify all deserters returning within sixty
days, aforesaid, that they shall be pardoned
on condition of returning to their regiments
and c< mpanies, or.to such other organizations
as they may be assigned to, unless they shall
have served for a period of time equal to their
original term of enlistment.'’ J,
On the 10th of March, 1865, the Presidenxfof
the United States issued bis proclamation las
directed by the law above quoted. There is no
mistaking the law. Its terms and its penal
ties are plainly explicit; and it becomes the
doty of every citizen to see that this law is
rigidly enforced. Deserters from the draft
—men who absented themselves from locali
ties after being enrolled therein, and who
failed to report within the sixty days prescribed,
will now find that they have forfeited their

durability, all the plates directly exposed to the fire
are made doable with air ppssage between; this not
only makes tho Stove very durable, bat prevents any
danger of cracking from tho heat; this is a recent
and valuable improvement. <
2d. Tbo flues are lined with non-conducting cc
‘ mont, thereby applying the heat directly to the oven,
and the oven can be heated and kept in baking order
with less fuel than any other Stove.
3d. They have a hot air draft, which not only
makes the fuel burn freely, and last longer, but adds
to the beating and baking facilities.
4tb. They consume all the gases from toe fuel,
thereby adding largely to the amount of heat ob
tained from the quantity of fuel used.
sth. The Stove is made, mounted and finished in
the most superior manner. The oven is large and
well ventilated. Tho Stove is convenient in form,-
and made for use; to adopt the language of some

Then is no better investment then the 7-30 Loan,
but all families havq to make other investments in
the way of Family articles, and if they can be pur
chased at a saving from the.regular rates, it makes a
good investment.
I claim to be selling all kinds of goods that I deal
in, such as mentioned below, at as reasonable rates as
any firm in the State, and a great deal lower than a
Urge proportion of dealers. The advantages I claim
a larger sale of goods in proportion to my expen
ses than most any bouse in the country, also no losses
by old goods or credit accounts. Ido not earn a
very heavy stock, but intend to keep all goods that
can be sold to advantage, making no leads as is oas
tomary in many to draw trade; selling a few
goods very low and making up on others, bat selling
all good? at a very low scale of profits, and girls?
small buyers # as good a chance as large ones. I be
lieve that one man's money is as good as another’s
and should buy as many goods if the money is Green
backs, and will not consent to compete on the
JEW PRINCIPLE.
AU goods we have in the bouse are, marked in plain
figures at the price we can afford to sell them.
Particular attention is invited to the following de
partments, as containing a great many bargains in
SEASONABLE GOODS.
DRESS GOODS.

the redaction being from 26 to 56 per cent, from

selling at the prices made then; notwithstanding
the great advance in goods. Any one -in need of
such goods can well afford to bay now as they will
be no lower this season.
I shall continue to try and deserve the liberal shsro
of trade I have yearly received from this and neigh
boring counties, and if good goods sold at the bottom
of this market, and fair dealing in every way will
bold trade, I will not lose mine.
