auent to the capture of Fort Alexis and
Spanish Fort, detailed in my dispatch,
dated April 9th, the Octorora, Lieut..
Commander, W. w. Law, and the iron
clads were enabled in consequence of the
thorough dragging of l'lakely river, to
move up the river nearly abreast of Span
ish Fort, from which point Commander
Law with his rihed guns, shelled with
great precision Forts Hugcr and Tracy,
and with such effect that both these forts
were evacuated on the evening of the ii,
and our forces took possession, capturing

moved with the gunboats conveying 5000
men of Grangers force to &c west side OF
Mobile Bay, for the purpose of attacking

ceriaincd that the enemy had evacuated
all the defences, ana retreated with their
guaboats up the Alabama river. These
gunboats will in a few days unqueston-
ably be captured unless destroyed by
the rebels themselves. Granger and my
self have Just sent into Mobile formal
demand TO the mayor for its unconditon-
al surrender, which will undoubtedly be
accorded, as the city is at our mercy.
The navy has already hoisted the stars
and stripes over the walls of Fort Pinto

The Financial Situation.

Money and business, commerce IL tile
guagc of filth and the country, under
its great trial of y change Of rulers. the
loss Of the man above all others in whom
it trustcd and the elevation OF a man
whom it had reason at least to be anxi-
Gus about, stands this test most remarka-
bly,. The experience Of the past four
years has inspired faith in ourselves, faith
in the country, faith in our institutions,
faith in the American people, faith in
God. No ordinary human event can
now, it is felt, cheat us of our promised,
prophetic destiny. With the sure defeat
of the rebel army, with the cav.ng-in
everywhere Of the elements of the con-
federacy, the business and financial world
takes the shock of the murder of the
president, by whose sagacity and frmness
more than any ether single agency this
great result has been achieved, with a
calmne>s AMI firmness that should be
historic. There is only a deep moral
shudder and a pause and then its oper-
ations move ON without change. Gold
does not rise government stocks do not
fail prices do not change sales OF gov
eminent bonds do not abate general
business even has a healthier tone and Il
briskcr motion this week than last. III,
commercial world has discounted all these
great events Of the last fortnight, ana
move on with firm and sublime faith in
the future.
The country may and should Mt once
cease TO accumulate Indebtedness. Some
weeks must capsc, perhaps, before the
government can PCT itself ON a scmi-pcact
footing but by the LIST OF July at least
our expenses should be reduced TO our re-
ceipis The latter will then, under slim
ulaled imports and an improved interna
re, enue system, be not less than one mil
lion dollars day; and this surely will
suffice beth TO pay our interest and t.
meet all legitimate expenses in closing W
the rebellion, and carry ing on the vas
civil administration. A year of balances
receipts AM expenditures ought next t,
be followed by such still further rcduc
ton of the latter as TO allow the govern
ment TO begin, before the close Of 1866
the reduction OF the national debt Thu
will be exhibited first, Of course, in thu
withdrawal of the legal tender Of green
back currency.
At any rate, there need not, there vii
not be any more loans, after the presen
one. Indeed, we do not see how this cal
all be needed. Six hundred millions wer'
authorized; and of this, less than on
hundred has been taken up to this time
though subscriptions are coming in at tn
rate of two to three millions day. Hal
of it or three hundred millions would seen
to he abundant to carry the government
up to the pay-as-you-go point. SO W.
can see and measure the limit of our ma
tional Indebtedness; and those who hav'
not got all they want Of the government
bonds, at original, par prices, will hav'
to speak quick for chance. The gram
total of debt will be within $1,000, 900,
O0O-a big sum indeed but we shal
digest it and dispose Of it all in good time
and the securities that represent it ar
never likely to go below par.-Spn"g

MORE ABOUT THE Boorus. Week
before last when j. Wilkes Rooth, the as
sassin, was in Boston, he was moody and
misanthropic and about two weeks ago
he made over all his property to his
mother and announced his intention of
Joining the confederate cause. 1t is sug
ges,ed that, as he had made a large
sum of money in the oil regions, he was
probably saiiated by his success, and
sought some new excitement One Of
the favorite quotations of Booth, in cen
ver,ation, was the following from his fa-
,orite play of Richard Ill: "The daring
youth who fred the Ephesian DOME out
lives in fame the pious youth who reared
it,"
Edwin Booth, the brother Of the assas-
sin, is a devotedly loyal man. A few
weeks since, he saved the life of the pres
idents son, Robert, who, but for him
would have fallen beneath the cars while
in motion. In some way the incident
came to the knowledge of Lieut.. Gen.
Grant, who at once wrote civil letter
to Mr. Edwin Booth, and said that it he
could serve him at any time he would be
glad to do so. Mr.. Booth replied play
fully, that when he GRANT, was in Rch-
nond, he would like TO play for him
there. As before announced, he was in
Boston when the news of the preparation
of the horrid crime of his brother reach
ed him, and was to have made his last
appearance at the Boston theatre Satur-
day afternoon. On The reception of the
news of the presidents assassination,
Manager Garrett addressed note to him
releasing him from his engagement, and
expressing sympathy with MIR. Booth III

ing manly letter in reply, and the Provi'
