THE NEWS.

BY the steamships City of Londor
and New York, we have English ad
vices to the 9th of November. TIL,
Confederate cruiser Shenandoah had ar
rived in the river below Liverpool and
was delivered over to the English naval
authorities. Captain William B. Wad-
dell, her commander, states that the
first information he had of the end of
the rebellion was on the Goth day of
August last. The British Cabinet is i'm
process of formation. Earl Russell has
been installed as premier, and the Earl
OF Clarendon as Secretary of State for
foreign affairs. Cotton had declined.
Wegive full history, this morning.
of the late revolt in Jamaica. The story
is tragic and bloody, and forms very
sad chapter in the history of the war of
races. 1t would seem that over thou
sand negroes had been executed by the
English after the rebellion had been
suppressed.
A Washington telegram of Saturday
states that the subject of reconstruct
lion had been considered at a meeting
'f the Cabinet held on Friday, and it is
reported on goodauthority that the
President is dissatisfied with the con-
iuct of leading men at the South, many
II whom he has pardoned." We do
lot know how this secret leaked out.

President JoHEsoN's PRoPosED PoLI-
cY TOWARDS THE TRAIroRs. I'm rebel,
and some conservative circles, since the
death of President Lincoln, there have
been many expressions of fear that the
policy of the Administration towards the
rebels will be changed. We trust these
fears may not be groundless. Too long
have traitors, hardened in their crimes,
been treated with lenieucy and forgive
ness. .aEo ,zTE eFe
Andrew johnson has always believed
and to-day more firmly believes than
ever-that a rigorous punishment of
every leading traitor is demanded by the
popular voice and while that indigna-
ton which to-day would adopt the
EXTREMIST measures, may somewhat
abate, yet the future must, as a naural
consequence of the tragedy at Washing
ton, be characterized by bold and
severe policy BY President johnson.
This policy is plainly indicted in his ad-
dress TO the Illinois delegation, printed
on our first page yesterday, and we sup
pose will be fully expressed in his FIRST
address to the people Of the whole eoun-

Brothers, Do moe h be.


A meeting of the citizens of johnson
township, Gibson county, was held at
Haubstadt, April 18th, 1865, to adopt
suitable resolutions on the occasion OF
the assassination of the President of the
United States. s
On motion, S. NJ Holcomb, Sr., was cho-
sen Chairman and Chas G. Kuhn, Sec
rotary. The following gentlemen, DR..
v Marchand, John Sipp and S. NJ. Hol.
comb, Jr., were appointed by the Chair
to draft resolutions suitable for the oeca.
sion for which they were assembled.
The following resolutions were read
and unanimously adopted:
WHEREAs, We have learned with pain
full regret that Abraham Lincoln, Presi-
dent of the United States, has been
stricken down BY the hand of cold
blooded assassin in manner that de-
serves the unqualified condemnation of
every. Ameriean CITIZEN, therefore,
Resoleed, That the assassination OF
President Lincoln is, as it should be,
deeply deplored by all classes of the
community
ResolCed, That the late war policy of
President Lincoln was, in our opinion,
wise and sagacious; the best evidence
of which is to found in the fact that il
was fast winning back the affection OF
the Southern people 10 the old Union,
thereby promising speedy termination
to this deplorable war.
ResolUed, That it is now our earnest
desire and prayer that the successor of
Mr.. Lincoln may pursue the same wise
policy that be (Lincoln) had marked out
TO govern his administration.
Resotred, That the proceedings of this
