GOOD FEELING.
| The utmost good feeling was lnanifas.a,
by the rebel officers toward the r-presents.
Ives Of our Government. and CommOdora
Farrand and Lieut.. Commander Mvers
seemed particularly pleased to meet again
after the lapse of so many years, their old
friends of the navy.
1NDIaNAT1ON AT THE ASSASSINATION OF.
THE PRESIDENT.
There was but one opinion among tharn
in regard to the cowardly and brutal mur-
der Of Mr.. Lincoln, and that was the most
ahject loathing and de;estatinn of the fiend
who committed the horrible act. Thev
could find no terms strong enough 70 ex.
press their indignation, and said no honor.
able man South would attempt to paliiaae.
much less justify the deed.
WANTED TO KNOW WHAT WOULD BE DOVE.
WITH TkEM.
Some anxiety was expressed by . Dor.
ton Of the officers in regard to the proha.
BILE course that would be pursued towsYda
them, as they lived in ioyn. States, AID the.
late order Of the Provost Marshal General.
u. 8. A., prevented their return home. A
return once more TO their homes and pea.
desired.
AFOREIoN WAR.
The opinion was freely expressed that
should the United States become involved
in . war with q foreign power. she would-
find large number Of her late enemies
side by side with her in the defense Of the
principles OF our common c0uhtry.
A CHAPTER or 1NClDESrs.
During the rambling conversation, which
became general after the terms hat bseo
arranged and signed, some Imaginable sto-
ries were related Of the difficulties expe-
rienced by the rebel officers in procuring
supplies or services, on account Of the dis
trust entertained by the population Of the
value Of Confederate money. Capt, -
said that be could not get his only shirt
washed for $1,000 of il! and iad 70 divide
bis rAtions with y sable iauudress to in
duce he, to give her attention 10 the shiJt
ct all.
Gen. Taylor was forced to allow officers
double rations in kind-one ration to co:
and the other for barter to procure articles
and services absolutely necessary. They,
however. expressed themselves laughingly
in regard to their privations and hardships.
and the same endurance and forti:ude
shown in better cause would haye been
beyond praise.
WRNT TO MERIDIAN.
Gen. Taylor was to have left Meridian q:
II O'Clock NJ. last night, for the purpose Of
carrying into effect the terms Of the sur
render.
