The flags that flaunted iheir glittering col

The splendor of our triumph i robbed ol)

first soldier had fallen by a hostile bullet,
as the gallant Sttcwrcs fell; more than if an
army Lad perished in the shock of battle.
For it is the commander-in chief of our ar
mies and navies who bas fallen; and he has
falleo, not by the natural course of disease,
nor in the accepted peril of war, but by the
fool stroke of some unknown assassin.

It has been a question of decided interest
how many men General Lee. surrendered,

thereof. Accordins la ihe mattmenli of

eiHiu uiuunan j. un in is nnim ina writer

l?0f about thirty thousand men. It will.

General Lee claimed -to be able to
p was ten thousand, with muskets,
with as many more men "from the Com
missary, Qtiartermastes, Hospital and other
Departments ; but officers who have been
permitted to pass through their camp assert
that not more than seven thousand or eight
iihonsand will be found to have surrender

iLee's cavalry escaped, and a considerable
tjnomberof bis infantry force have aIo at

Mroote. And these, of course, do not come
thunder the provisions of the surrender, al
though they belonged to ihe Army of
Northern Virsinia.
Thk Draft came off in this district on
Friday last. The lime fixed for ihe chosen
ones to report is between this and the 28 h
inst. Whether these men will be required
to go into the service we have our doubts.
It would seem from a dispatch sent Gen.
Dix from Secretary Stanlon, that all drafting
and volunteering were lo be discontinued
in the loyal States. The Government, we
should think, does cot need any more of an
rmy to finish up this rebellion if the right
course is pursued. What effect the loss of
mis mauer, we are unaoie at so early a
date, to conjecture. The rebellion may not
be treated as being so near an end as ihe
Ipeople apprehend. To come a little
cioser ice main surject ol this notice, the
draft in this township has fallen heavily up
on onr citizens, especially when we take
into consideration the large numbers of
men that have volunteered and entered
the service from ibis place sine the late
call was issued. Many of tkose already in
the service were draffed.and these, with the
physically exempts, will use op the one
hundred per cent drawn. Yet supplemen
tary drafts may have to be made. Seventy
two men were drawn itPthis township.

The following statement .prepared and
published in the Dembzrut, is of considera-
ble interest; showing op to a large extent
the illegal and onjuat treatment received
by Mr. Coleman at tba hands of Abraham
Lincoln's military satraps; ar.d exhibit?, loo, )

quartering of troops thereon.
I am sixty-eight yearn of age ; was born
in Northampton county and have resitted in
Columbia comity forty years I own a iarm
of ninety-six acres whereon reside, in
Fihingcreek township.
I served for three months as a Volunteer,
in the service of the United States, near ihe
close of the war ol 1812.
I wif unlawfully arrested a: my home on
the morning ol 31s'. of August 1864 by
order of Colonel Stewart in command of
troops then occupying this county, and
whose own subsequent military arrest for
swindling is notorious Five soldiers came
to my house in the night, at two Or three
o'clock, remained around or near, il for
some time and were admitted near daylight
on pretence of looking lor deserters. I
gave my asspnt that th house should be
searched after daylight should come. When
that came they a.-ked for breakfast and
while it was preparing Col Stewart came
along with a dozen or fifteen soldiers and
eera! citizen prisoner 1 was ordered by
him to come into the ranks and go along up
to Benton Church, as was also my boy,
Isaac E. Roat. He refused to wait for us to
eat breakfast, saying that we conld be back
home again in an hour or an hour and a
half. I was taken with the other arrrested
men to Benton Church and kept there until
eleven o'clock. The boy Roat was ihen
discharged. We (the prisoners) were then
marched to Biooraoburg and taken by way
of Northumberland and Harrisburg to Phil
adelphia where we arrived next day. Had
nothing 10 eat during all this time except
some eatables at Banton Church brought in
by the neighbors. We were not allowed to
get food on the way
Col Stewart promised me at the chnrrh !

tor some clothes, but I was not permitted
to stop i by my guards, alttoujh we passed
ihe door ol my bouse. I was indifferently
clothed at the time and had no change of
clothes with me.
We were taken to Fort Mifflin in ihe af
ternoon of Sept. 1st, and there placed in
eoufinement in Barnb-preof No. 3.' Nearly
even weeks afterwards I wa released
along with John Yorks and Elias McHenrr.
on parole, to appear when called for by the I
military authorities, and an oath of allegi
ance was exacted. No charges against me
were ever announced, nor any trial or bear
ing given me; nor was I aver furnished
with any direct information as to the causes
of arrest or lhe reasons for my discharge
I was driven from home as if I had "been a
beast ; ihrcst into aa nnhealtby and detest
able prison and kepi there nearly two
months as i f I had been one of the vilest
of criminals, and then turned loose witboat
explanation or redress. And as to the con
ditions upon which I was to regain the en
joyment of my freedom of which I had
been deprived witboat law and against jus
tice I was subjected to the iudignity of an
extrajudicial and unauthorized oath, and lo
a parole or engagement to hold tnjself ready
to respond lo any call, lawful or not, made
by military power.

'I. . ...
ProPef,Ji for which no compensation has
oeen maae, ana my housa was turned into
officer's quarters, free of charge, and ray
family subjected lo official domination. I
returned heme just seven weeks after the
date of my arrest to find my fences swept
! off, crops destrojed, trees eut down, barn
cleaned out, meadows converted into parade
grounds,-and various arlisles of personel
property appropriated or destroyed. The
main particulars of injury are stated in my
correspondence with Gen.-Ccuch.
A short time alter my second letter to
Gen. Couch, dated November ?8th, I re
ceived a verbal notice Iron Assistant Quar
termaster Wood by my son Samoel, that I
should meat him at Orangeville to choose
man to appraise my danages ; that he
wo: Id choose a man and I choose one, and
the two choose a third. Afterwards, I re
ceived a written notice from htm on the
same subject.
I suppose '.heae notice and the project
of selecting new appraisers, were in pur
suance of some order or direction from
General Couch consequent upon my letters
to him. I went to Orangstille and met the
Quartermaster at Stewards 6tpre. He asked
me if I had got a man to appraise the
Camp Damages. I told him no, but I knew
where I coatd get one. Ho asked roe who
it was, aod I told him William Holme. He
said,:lhen I must choose a man." I added,
"and the two choose a third." He said,
'very well." He further haid he would let
me know when the time was to be, aad we
parted and I went home. :
Mr Halme came down to Orangeville
the same evening and saw Quartermaster
Wood. He informs me that he asked Wood
whom he had chosen for appraiser: be said,
J.Sanderson Woods.' He then asked him
who was to be the third ma.n and Wood re
plied he was to be himself. Hulrae told
him that was not the understanding, the
understanding was he was to select one
man, I another, and the two a third, and he
knew I would not agree to the change.
Then he said he must put Sanderson Woods
aside and select another; 'and be named
A. B. Stewart (merchant.) But still he in
sisted opon acting as the uhird man him
self, and said he would come op the next
day to hold the appraisement. Hnlrre re
turned home in the eight and informed oae
of this conversation. I toid him I would
not agree thai QuartefraaJlt r Wood hould
be the third man.
The next day the Qaarterinaster came op
and brought Sato Acheobach with him.
They passed my boose withoot stopping
and went on to Benton, leaving word with
Mr. Holme when they pused his boose
that they would be back 3.1 1J o'clock to
hold the appraisement. They returned
after twelve o'clock and saw Mr. Holme
who told them I would not agree to Wood
a9 tne tb i rd
man. Then Wood said we
must get other men. Mr Hulrae named
four or five men to him. He said he did
not know the men it was getting late in
the dayhe most go on and be would re
turn and attend to the business another time.
He went off, ar.d that j't the last I have heard
oj Quartermaster Wood. I do not know
where he is, nor have I since beeh favored
by his notice in any way whatever.
Before writrng to Gen. Couch in October
last, Quartermaster Wood tolJ me I conld
never get any damages they were not
going to give me any. I asked him wbj.
He said because I had been taken prisoner ;
they were not gewg to give me anything.
He said "ire." It was not to be expected
in view of this declaration of his, and in
view also of his false and unfair report to
Gen. Couch upon mr case, that I should be
foolish enough to submit my claim to his
judgment. That would have been, indeed,
like submitting the lamb to the nursing care
ot the wolf.
Having waited several months without
any further notice of proceedings in my
case, I had three reputable and intelligent
men of ihe neighborhood to view my prem
1668 and make appraisement of the dam
ages justly due me This was in view or
my going on lo maka repaits upon the prop
erty, and polling ibe land under cultivation,
as the arrival ol spring rendered these
things nececsary. The appraisers made
report as follows
"We the undersigned, Appraisers, after
dee notice all met at the House of Joseph
Coleman near S'illwater in Fishingcreek
township, on the 26rd day of March. 1865,
and after being duly sworn according to law,
do assess ihe damages as follows : "
(Signed)
''Samuel Rione,
. John O Dildine,
Cyrus B McHenry."
Then follows an assessment opon the
several items - of claim mentioned in my
letter lo Gen Couch of 29:h October, and
Pon threa ma!l a'el n
paoers accompanying latter lo same of 26ih
NTyvMAmKw fl n .1 .1 I i
November amounting
in the whole to
S5I0 70.
Thu the case stands at present. I have
bad the facts presented to the General lately
in command of "the Department ol ihe
Susquehanna," and have disproved (he mis
statements' and answered ihe arguments (if
they can be balled such; of bis subordi
nates, Capt Short and Quartermaster Wood.
That answer with (be evidence submitte.l,
PPea" 10 hafe nJuced.-an order for an ap
pratsement of my damages, but the evident
determination of Quartermaster Wood to
prevent any fair assessment, has prevented
thus far, any execution of the order The
valua'ion recently made by Esqnjre Rhone
ar.d Messrs. Dildme and McHenry. showa
the extent of the claim and confirms the
other evidence of its reality and justice.

ANOTitra Jollification. The news of
the snrrender of Lee's army to Grant, which
was telegraphed to 'this place on Monday
morning last, created another tremendous
furor in the town. A repetition of be I
ringing, whistle blowing, anJ other demon
strations was indulged in by the citizens
All seemed to be pleased in view of the
prospect ol peace. The only persona we
heard of who went growling around we-re a
few loyal" radicals, whom no persuasion
could induce to "rally round the flag" in
the army These eore heads seem to have
all their feelings soured, because a few of
their neighbors, Democrats, displayed some
extra bunting. Thee radicals are hard to
please they get riled when a Democrat
don't display a flag, and they get right
''mad" when he does We advise ihose
Democrats, who gave umbrage to this very
'iloyal" crowd of Abolitionists, lor showing
too moch patriotism, to see to it and try by
some means lo mollify them, or somebody
mi"ht get hurt. Danvil e Intel ligeneer.
. THE WAR SEWS.
From the Age cf April 15;h
The President of the United States was
shot last verting' while aitenJing a Wash
ington theatre. Il is feared that he is mor
tallv wounded.
The detail acceorMs of ihe surrender of
the Confederate army of Northern Virginia
by Gen. Lee to Gen. Grant, have at length
be-n received. The final interview be
tween the two generals took place at the
residence of Mr. Wilson McLane, in Appo
mattox Conn House. The conditions of sur
render were prepared by an aid, and signed
by the generals. General Custer purchased
a small table on which the agreement was
prepared, and General Ord bough, a lare
table on which they were finally signed.
The only trophies tell for Mr. McLane were
the chairs on which the generals sat, but
(heae were finally stolen by two cavalry
officers. As soon as the army was surren
dared, Gen. Grant ordered twenty five thou,
sand rations to be distributed among the
Confederates.
Sheridan's cavelry and the Twenly-tourh
corps at once marched southward to attack
Johnstons rear. The Filth corps remained
ai Appomattox to superintend the details ot
the surrender. Tne Ninth corps is now
seoardins the railroad running from Peters
burg lo Burkesvitle. The Second, Sixth and
pari ot the Twenty fifth corps are at Borke
ville. Gen. Orbs is now in command at
Richmond, and Weitzel is at Pe'er.-burg.
It i reported that Gen. Sherman's army
advanced Irom Goldsboro on Monday even
ing last. Our advices from Goid.-boro, are
down to Monday, when everything w pre
pared for the movement. It is said that
Lee is to go to Raleigh to meet Joinstod
and advise Lira to surrender. Very little Ue
iendence can be placed on these ulalenents
however. Lee was in Richmond on Wed
nesday. Tbe American Minister in Portugal, Mr.
Harvy has demanded satisfaction of the
Portuguese Government for firing on the Ni
agara. He demands thai lhe American flag
hall be saluted by the forts that did the fir
ing, and the governor of the forts be die-m-.ssed.
Col. Wilraer, Provost Marshal of the
Siate of Delaware, has beeu relieved Irom
duty, and ordered to report at Washington.
The reported capture of Selma, Alabama
is confirmed. There is nothing definite,
however, "of the number of troop captured.
General Grants-headquarters will bereal
er be in Washington. General Ewell bas
been released on .parole, and is in Wash
ington.
