New YORK, May 4.-The Herald's WASH
ington correspondent says: A second eX-
petition was sent to Garnett's plantation,
where Booth was found, on Saturday, and
returned yesterday, bringing in the paroled
rebel prisoner Jett, who took Booth and
Harold to Garrett's, and q number Of 9TH
ers. 1t appears Jett introduced Booth to
Garrett as rebel soldiar named Boyd, and
wanted him taken care of by Garrett for
few days, when he would be taken away.
These facts Garrett has in vain endeavoIed
to prevail on Jett to certify to-.
The same correspondence says there are
twenty-one, and perhaps twenty three per-
sons concerned in the assassination, who
will certainly suffer the death penalty.
The Commercials special says: j eff. Davis
and several leading rebels will be included
in the bill of indictment before the court
for the trial of the murderers now in Gus

the Treasury Department. The question
will be discussed and decided at Cabinet
meeting Tuesday next.
The Posts special says eight Marylanders
charged with harboring Booth and aiding
his escape have been arrested and lodged in
prison in Washington.
The mails received by the Navy Depart
ment this morning were ladened with the
designations of volunteer officers in the
paval service, in obedience to the new orders
OF the Government for the reduction of SER

Ancient Fine Arts.

To the Editor Of The New York Herald: 7
Respecting the relics of porcelain ware
found in the late examinations at Herculan-
cum, which have been forwarded to the
Society of Antiquities in London, whereof
your correspondent says the bottle resembl-
ing brakes Plantation Btters was un-
doubtedly placed among the ruins by the
agent Of DR.. Drake, we desire to state that
he is incorrect in every respect. Ifa bottle
was found there bearing our lettering, the
language of the Ancient Romans was diff
ferent from the accepted literature of that
day. Our Agent has other business than
this in Europe, and has not been in Italy at
all. No doubt Americans carry Plantation
Bitters to Rome; but trying to impose upon
a society of Antiquarians in this way seems
quite useless, and we do not appreciate the
joke. 1t is unnecessary for us to spend
money in Europe while we are unable to
supply the demand for these celebrated
Bitters here. Respectfully, f.

ATWOOD'S
PATENT DRILLING MACHINE,
PILE DRIVER,
AND
HYDRAULIC SAND.E PUMP.

PRACTICAL TESTS having fully demonstrate
ed the superiority of this machine all others or
the purpose of sinking Oil Wells, the undersigned is
now prepared to receive orders for the saue.
This machinery comprises everything requisite for
the boring of oil wells. excepting the STEAM EN-
CINE AND CAST IRON DRIVING PIPE. (but
will be furnished, if desired, at reasonable price,
and dispenses with the use Of the Derrick, Rope
Bull wheel and other cumbrous and expensive fix
lures now in use. and Is so arranged. being con-
structed on wheels and portable, that it can be ca
silly removed for the purpose of sinking wells in diff
ferent localities.
THE DETRITUS is removed from the well by
our patent Hydraulic process, and does not require
the removal of the drill from the boring. This pro-
cess not only removes all the detritus in from to
10 minutes, but likewise efectually clears out and
opens all the small oil veins that are so often entire
ly closed up by the old process Of sand pumping.
WITH THIS MACHINE and practical engineer,
awel can be sunk from 400 to 600 feet withina Pc
rod Of from Is to 30 days after the soil pipe has been
driven. -Ir.I .-...2 .,,.' ...,....rt IN

"TfE APOSTLE" said the Elder, "was
moved by many kinds of doctrine" "Yes,"
replied Mrs. Partington, looking over her
spectacles at the Elder, "there's where he
was wrong. What did he want to try so
many kinds of doctrine for when Pinker-
toms Wahoo and Calisaya Bitters would
have kept him perfectly regular" The
Elder confessed the thing had never struck
him in that light before, and the old lady
was going on to elucidate further, when her
attention was attracted by Ike, who was
trying to pour some Bitters down the cats

The Trial of the Assassins-The
Specie that was Taken from
Richmond.

New YORK, May 4.-The Tribune's Wash
ington special has the following: VIZ
The courtroom for the trial of the Pres
ident's assassins has been fitted up at the
arsenal building, and the trials will pro-
ceed without delay. The number likely to
be put on trial is about forty, and others
now in custody will probably be discharg-
ed as the case progresses and their testi-
mony is given in.
Col. Clark, of the rebel army, who was
captured by one of our scouting parties
while endeavoring to escape from Rich
mond on one of the last trains from that
doomed city, asserts that he was in charge
of all the specie which was removed from
Richmond; that when his train broke down
and he found it impossible to get it on the
track and off again, and seeing our forces
approaching, he ordered it set on fire, and
that all his efforts to save the specie were
unavailing; that the soldiers broke open
the kegs, and amid the excitement and tu-
multi soldiers and citizens appropriated all
there was. He asserts that he knows that
no other amounts of specie not in the pock-
cts of its owners were taken from Rich
mond, and that this lot was all stolen. He
states further, that the amount has been
vastly over-estimated, and confirms the
statement heretofore made by Gen. Grant,
that it amounted only to about 100000.

The Arrest of Ex-Governor Aiken
"A Prominent Citizen of Savan.


New YORK, May 4.-The Herald's Hilton
Head correspondent says of the arrest of
Ex-Governor Aiken: Governor Aiken
claims to be an ''original Union man." ian
opposer of notification in Calhoun's time"
and "friend of the Union and the Consti-
tuition ever SINCE" But there are reports
contradictory of this, and among others he
is accused Of furnishing a portion of the
brain which has enabled the rebels to hold
out tour years, and of having held several
interviews with jeff. Davis. These are only
reports, but of course the War Department
must havehad some foundation for Its action
against him. -m q -aa ...G ..a g.. ..,...f
G. B. Lamar, prominent citizen of Sa-
vannah, has also been arrested. He is an
enemy of the Union. He was notification
man, and has been one of the most indus
trious and successful aiders and abetters of
the rebel cause in Georgia. He makes no
secret even now of his bitter hostility to the
Union, Courteous, affable and sociable in
all other respects, he hates Yankees most
thoroughly and boasts of it.. . ..-.,......
1t is understood that the prisoners are
charged with treason, and will be regularly
tried therefor.

capacity for performances in a higher walk

worth following out, and development of
character worth understanding. srs
