Grant's and Sherman's armies, numbering 150,000
men, marched on Tuesday and Wednesday from
the Capitol (Washington) through Pennsylvania-

viewed the troops in presence of Mrs. Johnson and
the Cabinet. An enthusiastic crowd thronged the
line of procession. Sherman was loudly cheered.

After Mr. Davis was confined in Fort Monroe
his family were sent south in the Clyde.
It is still reported that Mr. Davis will be tried
for treason before a civil court. The additidnal
evidence brought forward at the conspiracy trial is
unimportant.

A letter of Beverley Tucker has appeared declar-
ing Booth's letter to President Johnson requesting
an interview as a suspicious circumstance against
the President.

Sherman has written a letter asserting that his
official reports have been purposely suppressed and
daring the War Department to publish them.
Captain Boggs, of the steamer Connecticut, de-
manded the surrender of the Stonewall at Havannah.
The captain of the Stonewall refused, but offered
to surrender to the Cuban authorities upon condi-
tion that his vessel should never be delivered to the
United States. The Cuban authorities refused,
and the captain then surrendered the Stonewall to
them unconditionally. Spanish marines were sent

The cipher messages intercepted between
Canada and Richmond make no allusion
to the assassination of Mr. Lincoln. The cypher

offers to rid the South of some of her deadliest
enemies. The letter is endorsed —" Referred, by
direction of the President, to the Secretary of War
to Harrison, Nov., 1864, for attention. By order.
J. A. Campbell, A.S.W."

plicity in Lincoln's assassination.
The details given by correspondents relative to
Davis's capture differ from the first accounts re-
ceived.

Some state that Davis was captured coming out
of a tent in female apparel. Others say he probably
had on a dressing gown. He had no large amount
of specie with him. The Tribune urges that only
two culprits should be put to death for complicity in
the rebellion, namely, Slavery and State Rights.
11l feeling has arisen between the coloured and
white troops at Charleston, in consequence of
negroes insisting upon taking part in a public
meeting of citizens.

of surrender.

Kirby Smith has not been killed in a personal
altercation as reported.
Coloured troops are reported to have attempted
an attack upon the Confederate parolled soldiers at
Memphis, in revenge for Fort Pillow. The guard
