F. SAPP. Of this c.ir
Bedford inquirer. [volume] (Bedford, Pa.) 1857-1884, 1865-05-05
Interesting From Washington.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The Surgeon
General reports that Secretary Seward still
continues to improve, and that K. w. Sew
ard had slight hemorage from the scalp
last night, but is slowly regaining strength.
Acting Assistant Surgeon John A. Hall,
of Lincoln general hospital, was to-day ejec-
ted in disgrace. An intercepted letter to a
person in Canada from him, referring in
scur1ilous terms to the death of the late
President was the cause.
Gen. Lee, after his surrender, wrote to
General Johnston that further resistance
would be useless, and advising him to fol
low suit, dc.
1t is said that large number of Union
soldiers are going to Mexico to enlist in the
Liberal cause, and several recruiting agents
are here quietly at work for that purpose.
The army of the Potomac is coming to
this city by way of Fredericksburg. A large
number of this army is to be mustered out
of the service. Sherman army Is to come
to Richmond and there be mustered out
Seventy-six rebel flags captured from the
rebel army in Northern Virginia, were for
mally presented to the War Department to-
day by General Gibbon.
Information has been received here that
Jake Thompson and his co-conspirltorS
have left Canada for Europe.
An attempt was made early this morning
by an incendiary to burn Ford's theatre. =
The FIRE was discovered in time to prevent
any serious damage
A letter from New Orleans, received here
to-day by prominent member of Congress,
says The pro-slayery Union men Of that
city are gravitating toward the secessionists,
and that they will act together hereafter
against the unconditional anti-slavery Union
party, unless some change is made in the
city government.
Forty-nine rebel officers were sent from
here to-day to Sundusky, Ohio.
Mrs, Lincoln is still unable to leave her
room, in fact scarcely able to rise from her
bed She looks pale and haggard, and fears
are entertained if she viii ever regain her
former health.
1t will probably be several weeks before
President johnson takes up his quarters in
the White House. The building is to be
refurnished and repainted

THE INGERsoLL AFFAIR.

The disreputuable proceedings inthe Thir-
teenth and Fourteenth wards, yesterday,
were logical result of the failure of the
Federal authorities to bring aiders and abet-
tors of treason to justice. Almost, or quite
ever since the war began, the Ingerson
brothers have declaimed against the national
authorities and expressed their sympathy
with armed traitors upon every favorable
opportunity. One Of the brothers publicly
urged in the darkestdays of the war that the
Federal Government must be put down, and
upon another occasion he suggested, at a
public meeting, that if any member of the
Democratic party should be arrested by or
der of the Secretary of War in the future,
the person of the President of the United
States should be seized and held as hos
tage until the original captive should be set
at liberty. The reasonable speech of Ed
ward Ingersol, in New York, on the eve of
the assassination ofMr. Lincoln, is too re-
cent an occurrence to need more than refer
ence to it.
While every good citizen must deplore the
excesses of yesterday, there is nothing in
them to excite surprise. The fault lies with
the Federal authorities who have failed to
vindicatethe majesty of the law, and the
event shows that such indulgence leads to
infractions Of the public peace We trust
that for the future all utterers of treason
may be promptly arrested and made to an
swer for their crimes, and not be allowed to
80 on maddening the passions Of loyal men
and melting to riot and disorder. -Pbila.

Mr.. LINeoLNs 5 SELF DEEoTIoN. The
memories of the countless noble words and
deeds of the Martyr President, already be-
gin to flow in thick upon us We read the
glowing words -alas that they are now
made prophetic with which he raised
the flag over Independence Hall, on Wash
ington's 3 Birthday, four years ago, On that
memorable occasion, looking forward to the
official responsibilities and the personal per-
lis that were before him he uttered these re-
markable words
II have often inquired of myself what
great principle or idea it was that kept this
Confederacy SO long together. Ii was
something in the Declaration of Independ-
ence giving liberty not only TO the people of
this country, but to the world for all future
time 1t was that which gave promise that
In due time the weights should be lifted
from the shoulders of all men, and that all
should have an equal chance.
Now, my friends, can this coun-
try be saved upon that basis ? IF it can, /
will consider myself one Of the happiest
men In the world If can help TO save it.
But if this country cannot be saved without
giving up that principle teds about to
say iaoould rdtlserbe assdSsiadtecl upon dtts
spot than to Surrender It,

Over 10000 stragglerss from the rebel

Battle House on the night of the 14th, in
tending to assassinate General Granger,

MOST STARTLING DEVELOPMENTS.
Unparalleled Murderous Plot discovered.
Many Unsuspected Parties Involved
Result of the Search for the Assassin.

New YoRK, April 29-The Herald $
Washington special says The search after
the assassin of President Lincoln and the
would-be murderer of Secretary Seward
has developed weH-laid and deliberately
matured plan of assassination and infamous
rascality, murder and arson, unparalleled in
the history of crime
Their Investigations have not yet reached
a point where it is proper to disclose the In
tent and various ramifcations of this muir
derous plot. Many unsuspected and unsus-
peeting parties are involved.
The evidence is complete to show that it
was neither the freak of mad man nor an
act of individual hate, but scheme concoc-
ted by the leaders of the rebellion, and re-
lied upon by them in the hour of their most
desperate need, and one of the means of
success in their great reasonable enterprise.

WELL SAID AND TRUTHFUL. The New
York Times gives utterance to the following
concerning Gen. Grant
The grim patience and almost sublime
self forgetfulness which has kept him for SO
many months on a slow wearisome, compar-
atively unbrilliant task of holding Lee and
his army as in vice in Virginia, while his
subordinates made the brilliant marches aud
won the easy victories, is something not
much admired by the crowd, but which his
tory viii never forget or cease to celebrate.
1t is the union of these patient and self.
contained qualities with the highest dash
and daring--it is the exhibition Of the most
remarkable energy and sagacity in seizing
the opportune moment for the execution of
his purpose-it is the combination in his
intellect Of an all comprehensive vision with
the most extraordinary power of co-ordina-
ton, which have already placed Gen Grant
in foremost position among the great mill
tary leaders of all ages.

Mr.. LINCoLN's S LAST INAUGURAL. The

made strong impression in England. The
British Standard speaks of it as the most
remarkable thing Of the sort ever pronoun-

from the first day until now. It's Alpha and
its Omega is Almighty God, the God ofjus-

ing out the purposes of his love. 1t is in
vested with dignity and pathos which lifts
it high above everything of thekind, wheth-

much of the old prophet about it. -

CONSTANT EAfFLoYMENg The man who
is obliged tobe constantly employed to earn
the necessaries of life and support his fami-
ly, knows not the unhappiness he prays for
when he desires wealth and idleness TO
be constantly busy IL to be always happy. -
Persons who have suddenly acquired wealth
broken up their active pursuits, and begun
to live ct their ease, waste away and die i'm
a very short time. Thousands would have
been blessings to the world, and added TO
the common stockof happiness, il they had
been content 10 remain In am humble sphere,
and earned every mouthful of food that
nourished their bodies. But no fashion
and wealth took possession OF them, and
they were completely ruined They ran
away from peace and pleasure, and embra-
ced a lingering death. Te who are signing
for the pomp and splendor of life, beware
Ye know not what ye wish Persons who
are always busy and go cheerfnlly to their
tasks, are the least disturbed BY fluctuations
of business, and at night sleep with perfect
composure. The idle and the rich are seld-
om ever contented They are petulant,
| fearful, irascible Bid them good morning,
and they scowl. Nature aud art appear to
have few attractions for them They are
entirely out Of their views While In this
state the springs of life are rusting out, and
the decay Of death has commenced under
mining their constitutions.

MEMPHIS, April %, via CAIRO, %.
The Vicksburg Herald Extra of the 25th,
has a dispatch dated off the mouth cf Red
river, April 23d, stating that at nine clock
that evening the famous rebel ram Webb
ran out of Red river passing all the gun
boats and iron clads there, and descended
the Mississippi river with lightning speed.
When first discovered she had no lights,
emitted no smoke, and appeared like huge
mass. She was fired on from the monitor
Manhattan, when she Immediately showed
signs of life and shot past the Manhattan,
who signalled the feet The Lafayette
started in pursuit The officers of the Man
haitian estimates the speed of the Webb at
twenty FIVE miles per hour while passing
them
The steamer Saratago, from New Orleans
met the Webb at Tunica bend at quarter
to ten. She then attempted to run down
the Saratago, but was unsuccessful and con-
tinued down. 1t is believed she intends de-
stroying our commerce ON the Mississippi
and probably make an attempt to escape to
the Gulf Some assert that jeff Davis is
very probably ON board, making his escape
to Havana or other foreign port If moth
ing happens the Webb, she can reach New
Orleans at daylight tomorrow and the
mouth of the Mississippi ly noon.

pi, from New orleans, has arrived She re-

The Herald Newbern correspondent says
the last positive information of JEFF Davis
movements was that he passed through
Charlotte on his way southwark, escorted by
a brigade Of cavalry, probably Wade Hamp-
toms, on the 23d instant. As General Vii
son was at Macon ON the Goth, and virtually
held all southern Georgia, the chances are
that Davis cannot escape.
