On cro.-s examination Golouel Conger said Booth said of llaiold, "Here is a man who wants to come out," and I think, adJ od, "who had nothing to do with it."— After that Harold cimo out. The testimony of Sergeant Boston Cor bett was next given; Booth called out, '1 doclare before my Maker, this mm (Uar old) is innocent." Corbett recognized Harold as the man taken out of the barn.

I then returned to the • able, saddled a horse for myself, went .tlong the Avenue and down K street, and turned down ninth street to Pennsylva nia avenue. Went along the Avenue and passed the south side of the capitol, and met a gentleman coming down, and asked him did luJ sea any man riding on horseback, lie told me yes, he saw two. "They were going very fast. "I follow ed till I came to the uavy yard bridge, and found they had crossed it. I ask« 1 the sergcut it' I could cross. lie said yes, but I could not come back.

Witness also gave the particulars of Harold's liiriug the horse at 4 o'clock, and bis stating to him he could not have him later than eight or uiue o'clock. On cross-examination, be statad ho fctiew Atzqrott lived down at T. 8., in Maryland, and followed him for the pur pose of finding Harold. John Green wait, keeper of the Penn sylvania House, testified : He was ac quainted with Atzerott, and had seen J. Wilkes Booth. They had an interview at his house. Atzerott bad said to him he was pretty near broke, though he had friends enough t give him as much mo ney as would keep him all bis life, lam going away one of these days, lut will soon return with as much money as will keep me all my life.

On cross-examination, witness pointed to Spanker ne having resemblance to the man Thompson, though the latter had a moustache, which the prisoner did not have, and his hair was longer and his complexion darker. Witness never saw O'Laugblin beforiho trial. John I*. Co vie. one of the proprietors of the Nat to *.crl Intel!ijtncer, testified to knowing Booth slightly.'and that that pa per never received the statement alleged to have been made by Booth, that on the night before the assassination he wrote a long article, and left it for the editors of that paper, setting forth his reasons for the crime. Hczekiah Metz. a resident of Mont gmnery county. Maryland, recognized At serott, who ate dinner at his house on the Sunday alter the assassination. There was some conTereatiou about Gcu. Grant having Veen shot, as it was rumored on th« cars, and fee remarked : "II the man wh» was to hav« follqprtd him, bad fol htm, it would havo been so." Nothing was said about the assassin. Atzerott was kuown in his vicinity as Andrew At wood. Sergeant 0. W. Gimmill testified to the particulars'of the arrest of Atzerott. He niado no enquiry as to iti cause.— When asked if he had enything to do with the assassination he said no. John J. Cleher was re-called, and tes tified tlia'. the horse picked up in the street on the night of the assassination, and now ia Angler's stablo, was the one ho had left to Atzerott. Thomas I<. Gardner testified to a dark bay one-eyed horse, now in the Govern ment stables, os having been sold by his uncle to Booth, in the latter part of No vember. Booth came to his uncle s house with Dr. Mudd, and their horses were near together. Lieut. J J. Poffey testified to finding a horso on the night ot the 11 th of April, about three qu irtcrs of a mile east ot' the Capitol. It was a large bay horse, blind of one eye. Identiaed the saddle found on him. WASHINGTON, May 20. SECRET SESSION, The conclusion of to-day's session of the Military Commission for the trial of the assassins, was with closed doors. .Upon suggestion of the Judge Advocate, who stated that ho bad one witness whom be desired to put upon the staud, as to whose testimony there existed the same reasons for sitting with closed doors as applied to the evidence given on Friday ot last week. There arc several additional witnesses to bp called for the prosecution on- Monday next, and the probability is that the tes timony for the defence will not be com menced before Tuesday next. VEIIV LITTLE PROGRESS Has been tnade to-day in developing facts effecting the prisoners at the bar. Some thing further, rather vague and uncer tain, was elicited as to BPANOLER'S COMPLICITY WITH BOOTH At the time of the assassination, ami some important facts were brought out, -bow ing that as early sis one o'clock on Satur day afternoon, the day utter the assassin ation, it was generally well known at "ry antown that the President had been shot, aud that the.murderer was Bilcth. It was also shown that Dr. Mudd was in Bryantowii during that afternoon ami as the place was guarded by soldiers, the cit zeus were mindi excited. 'J he irresisti ble inference is. that .Mudd must have heard the general report, and must have known thot afternoon that Booth was the assassin. This fact being established, goes to prove GUILTY KNOWLEDGE ON THE I'AHT OF MUDD, And shows that he was endeavoring to as sist the assassinsin their escape ; notwith standing his protestations a few hours af terward that he knew nothing of the oc currence until he heard of it atcliuroh on Sunday, the 10th of April. A great portion of the session was ta ken up by the testimony of J. B. Stew aat, who gave an ACCOUNT OP BOOTH'S ESCAPE From the theatre, with more particularity than has heretofore been drawn out, but no material pertinent fact was elicited in bis examination, save probably establish ing that somebody was likely assisting the assassin in the rear door, and probably closed it for him,'to prevent or retard pur suit. The theory of the prosecution is that Spangler was that somebody. Much interest was manifested iu the evidence which disclosed THE COMMUNICATION IN CIPHER, The one from Canada and the other from Richmond. This testimony, like that of fered day before yesterday, showing that •Jeff. Davis entertained Oldham's diaboli cal proposition, does not appear as direct ly belonging to.the case on trial, but its relevancy wili be made more apparent us the crse progresses. Again, this morning, the court room was crowded most uncomfortably. The proportion of female auditors was greater than on any previous day. KIRBY SMITH ASSASSINATED.

This (Wednesday) is the day of the grand review. There is much specula tion just now as to what portion of the army will be sent home. This we sup pose will loon be set at rest. 'I lure is no need for an army in the east. Those, therefore, that are not sent to Texas, where there may still be some trouble, will most likely bo discharged. We trust that this may be the happy lot of all the volunteer forces. Before the Citizen reaches its readers again, we hope to be able to announce definitely the disposi tion made by alt. Let our friends at home rest contented, and assured, that the government will not require the services of any a day longer than the interest of all requires. Jeff. Davis. The inquiry in every bodies mouth seems lo be, ''what will bo done with Davis? Strange it is that although lives have been sacrificed in this war, by the thousands and tens of thousands, still there seems to be a doubt (or at least the frequent inquiry would seem to say so) a< to whether, after all, the government would have courage enough to hang a single one if the leaders in the once pow erful. but now prostrated rebellion. In' thi- particular we do not share the gen eral feeling. We have not the shadow of a doubt, but that Davis and any other of the political leadcts that may fall iu to'thc hands of the government will be require tto pay the penalty of their ne farious crimes 1 The Tribune and oth ers of similar sentiments to the contrary notwithstsJliding. It is not likely that so vigorous a search will be made for many Others as was made for Davis, although wo have no doubt that Breekenridge, llhett, Benjamin and a few others will be looked lor. Ihcre is another class however, who, although they were more injurious to us than the tire-eaters, still dont seem to be subjects for such severe censure, amongst this class may be named Stepheus of Georgia, Foot of Tennessee, and Gen. Me. These men had nothing to do directly with bringing in the rebel lion; but had not the nerve to withstand the ap|icatß that were so artfulljuuade to their state pride, and finally went with their states: Xhey did our cause much harm—more perhaps because of their alleged nonwrvudvo position, still their lives will lnirdly be required, but while the extreme penalty will not possibly be inflicted upon theui, we trust the country will be made too hotfor them—they have no right by remaining here to insult the cause they sought in vain to destroy. Kntlonal l»el>tsand I'.S.Sloeks. The creation of national debts is not a modern improvement, but the ability of a great nation to provide for a great debt, and to make it the most convenient and best form of personal property, is a moi ern wonder. The debt of Great ISritian was begun by raising a million sterling by loan in 161)2, an 1 when her great eoi.test with Louis XIV. was terminated, the deot had reached fifty millions. Many Statesmen and economists were then alarm ed at the great burden which had been imposed upon the industry of the country, but when the war of Austrian succession had swelled this amount to eighty mill ions, Macaulay says that historians and orators pronounced the case to be des peratc. But when war agaiu broke out and the national debt was rapidly carried up to one hundred and forty millions, men of theory and business both* pronounced that the fatal day had certainly arrived. David Hume said that, although, by tax ing its energies to the utmost, the coun try might possibly live through it, the ex periment must never be repeated,—even a small increase might be fatal. Gran ville said the nation must sink under it uuless some portion of the load was borno by the American Colonies, and the at tempt to impose this load produced the war ofthis revolution, and, instead of ili miiiithiitff, added another hundred mill ions to the burden. Again, says Macau lav, was Kugland given over, but agaiu she WAS ni' re prosperous than ever bo fore. But when at the close of her iS'a polecnic wars in 1816, this debt had been swelled up to the enormous sum of over eight hundred millions sterling, or four thousand three hundred million dollars, or nearly one half the entire property of the United Kingdom, the stoutest heart the firmest believer in national progress and national development, might well have been appalled. But in the very face of this mountain of obligation,—to say nothing of her vastfeulonial possessions —the property of the British nation lias more than trbeled. and her debt is now a charge of but 1-5 per cent, against it. All that great liritian hai done in paying her debt, we shall do, and more, with ours. We have vast territories untouch ed by the •plow, mines of all piecious uielals of which we have hardly opened the doors, a population full of life, ener gy, enterprise and industry, and the accu mulated wealth of money and labor of the old countries pouring into the lap of our giant and ever-to-be united republic. Du ring fiercest and most exhausting of all possible wars, wo have lem nstra ed Dur national strength—and all the world over national strength is but another name for national credit. "Asgood as 1 nited States Stocks" will soon be synonymous the world .over w th "as good as British (Jon sols." For our part, we think a U. S. Treasury note, bearing seven <ind tliree tcnths-annual interest, is just as much better than British Consols as the rate of interest is higher. Some of our Jimid brethren, who shipped their gold to Lon don and in consols, arc now glad to sell out and invest at home at a round loss, — and serves them right. ( OMJU XK iTIOVS.

A STUMBLER. Jefl' Davis Arrived, Imprisoned at Fortress Monroe. * FOBTAESS MO.NHOK, May 10. Jefferson Davis, 'late of Richmond," of the extinct so called Southern t'onfed eraey, with his family, personal staff of ficers, &o lately captured by a portion of Gen. Wilson's eon maud in Gcor gia, arrived here to-day at nooij from Hilton Heal, Suh C rjlina, in the steamer Clyde, conveyed by the I nited States gunboat Tuscarora, Commodore J'railey Col. Pritohartl, cf the Michi gan Cavalry, who made (he capture of then important prisoners, with a strong guard of his men, came in charge of the prisoners on the Clyde to this place. On arriving here be immediately telegraphed to Washington for instructions icgard ing the drsposal of his charge. At this writing such is the strict se crecy observed, not only as to the pres ence of the prisoners, but also to their future movements, that it is impossible to form even an opinion regarding the in lentionsof our Government. The steam er CI dc still remains somo three miles out from the shore, seemingly an chored, and t'ol, I'ritchard is probably the only one who has as yet come ashore. The gunboat Tuscarora anchored in the Roads about two o'clock the following afternoon, but no'hing can be gleaned from her officers in relation to I lie party i.n the Clyde. Humors have been continually circu lining here this afternoon to the effect that tho gtcauier Clyde ran in along the beach about four » clock p. ID., and land ed Davis and others on -the beach, about one mile from the fort, and from there were inurchcd into tho sally port of the water battery in order to escape the gaze, of the curious. LATER. 4 p. M. —The Tteamer Clyde has just run in and dropped her anchor in the lloads, and thero seems to be no doubt but Jefferson Davis must have been land ed somewhere along the beach. No com munication whatever is allowed with the steamer, and it is more than probable that the larger portion of the prisoners still remain on board. 'J lie officer in charge is evidently awaiting instructions Irom Washington. About a week since Colonel Hrewcr ton, of the Kngineer. Corps, received or ders by tclegruph from Major (Jen. Har n?rd to immediately have vacated a row of casemates inside the fort for the ac commodation of prisoners of State. The work of transferring thesecas mates into cells, for which they are well adapted, was at once commenced without the least delay. The work has progressed very fast, and the casemates which once com munieated one with the other are now separated by substantial walls of brick, so that the inmates are nut destined to have much convivial intercourse. Strong iron* bars and other substantial arrangements enclose the windows and doors completely; rendering hopeless any attempt to Pscape or rescue, if such a thing should be thought of. The wide moat of the fortress encircles these case ments, and on the banks and ramparts strong guards of vigilant sentinels will tread their ronnds. Kvciy device which precaution would suggest will assuredly be adopted to en sure still further thesccure safety of these in.st important prisoners. In thus selecting Fortress Monroe to be the place of confinement of Jeff. Davis and other chief traitors, the •overnment has. no. doubt, acted widely. It is tlio't ihat the trial witl also take place here. RkCOONTIon —Kogland and France, for tour years, have been itching to "rec ognize" Jeff. Davis. We -uggest this is a good time to do it. Certainly he never stood more Conspicuously before the world than now. nor in a character so purely original as that which the last shift of the rebellion imposed upon him. As our foreigmeousids are sticklers for "belliger ents," they certainly have a fair illustra tion of the principles in the attitude of Jeff, when taken ; lor. we are assured, he brandished a bowie knife bravely, while Mrs. Davis gave our men good warning to take cure or lie uiight hurt some of them.
