Army of the POtomac-Presenta
tiOn of Rebel Flags-EAect of
the News of the Assassination.


HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAC,
April H.-Quite an interesting event took
place at the headquarters this morning.
The sixth corps having taken eighteen
flags during the recent short campaign, it
was arranged that the men who captured
them, accompanied by their commands,
should march to the vicinity of General
Meade's headquarters and there turn in the
colors taken from the rebels. Gen. Meade
addressed the troops in an appropriate
speech, in which he thanked them individ-
ually for their gallantry, and the entire
corps for the important part they had per-
formed in being the first to break the enc
my's line at Petersburgh, as well as for
their conduct in pursuing and aiding in the
utter defeat and capture of the principal
army of the Confederacy. In conclusion
Gen. Meade announced that every man
who had taken flag should have Iur-
Tough for thirty days, and that each one
should carry his own and presentit to the
War Department at Washington. The
scene was brilliant and much enjoyed by
all who witnessed it. ,,,f ,.... nj .ilc'q,
The announcement of the assassination of
Mr.. Lincoln and Mr.. Seward and his son,
was received throughout this army with
the utmost sorrow. Every man seemed to
think it the greatest calamity that could
have possibly happened just at this time.
Should the assassins be found and turned
over to the army to be dealt with, their
punishment would be swift and sure, and
such as to strike terror into the heart of ev-
cry sympathizer with treason. The citizens
living in the country express their horror
at the occurrence, and think it the worst
thing that could have happened for the
Southern people just at this juncture.
The largest part of this army is concen-
trated at Burkville Junction, and is taking
short rest after their recent hard work,
but it is thought that movement of the
main body of troops will soon be made to-
wards Petersburg and Richmond. The
cavalry and colored divisions of the 25th
corps have already gone in that direction.
Nothing has been heard here from Sher-
man, but news of Johnston's surrender is
daily expected.

Funeral OIDsequieS.

DENVER, April 19.-Since the death of
President Lincoln all business in the city
has been suspended, and public buildings,
stores and private residences are all draped
in appropriate emblems of mourning. The
funeral ceremonies to-day were partici-
pated in by larger concourse of people
than ever before assembled here. The mil
itary and civil officers of the Government
and Territory, together with all the regular
orders, were fully represented.
FORTRESS MONROE, April 10.-The funer-
al ceremonies of our late Chief Magistrate
were solemnized here this morning. In
connection with the terrible plot of the
Presidents assassination, the arrests of sew
eral parties well known here, who have
been accumulating wealth and have been
the recipients of untold favors from the
Government, will probably lead to impor-
tant developments.

| CAMILLA URso's FIRST CoNCERT.-This
Grand Concert takes place this evening.
Owing to the recent calamity that has be-
fallen our country, 1t has been deemed prop
er to make some changes in the published
programme for this evening. Camilla Urso
will perform the Elegie" on the violin;
Madame Motto will sing the famous song
from Mendelsohn's oratorio =" Jerusalem
thou who killest the Prophets!" " and Mr..
Groscurth will play the "Funeral March,"
Most persons who have given attention to
the progress of music of late years, are IA
ist, Camilla Urso. She belongs to an Ital-
ian family, but was trained under the first
masters of her art in Paris. Her first tour
through the departments of France, Ger
many and other European countries, was
succession of triumphs. Since then, her
reputation asa performer of exquisite grace
and great power, has been steadily on the
increase.
When Camilla was six years old, her tath-
er took her once to a mass of st. Cecilia in
the church of the Holy Cross, where he was
organist From the moment that the well
trained orchestra gave the opening chords
of the Rwie Eteison, Camilla remained mo-
tionless as the pillar against which she was
leaning. Even when the music ceased and
the crowd dispersed, Camilla still stood lis
tening, mute and motionless as statue. III
wish to learn the violin," were the first
words she uttered, when accosted by her
father. The instrument which had most
charmed her among all those whose sounds
rang among the vaults Of the church, was
the violin, the king Of instruments, whose
tones weep and ring like the human voice;
that instrument, which best obeys the hand,
the most efficient agent of the will and in
spiration of the artist. ,'l..'.. ..i
Since that time Camilla has devoted her
self exclusively to the study of music and
her chosen instrument, the violin. Her pro-
gress was SO rapid, that at the age of seven
years she played in public and electrified
the audience by her wonderful performance.
Success followed the young artist every
where. Now she is one Of the greatest
violin virtuosi living. rEFern n'-r 'T
Tickets for the Concerts may be had at

the Mexican empire is collapsing, and that
Macmillan will soon abdicate and return

COLUMBUS, February 18th, 1866.
To whom this may Concern.
Peter Martin, Of Cincinnati, has placed
his PATENT IMPROVED HoT AIR FURNACES
in our High School and District School No.
5. The Furnaces in District No. 5 have
been in use two years; those in the High
School during this winter. So far they
have given entire satisfaction. For eff
cheney in warming, quality of heat, econo-
my of fuel, and promptness of action, they
deserve special commendation. cheer
fully recommend Mr.. Martins Furnaces to
any who may desire an excellent mode of
heating. e. d. KINGSLEY,
Supt. Of Public Schools of Columbus.
CRCLEvILLE, Feb. 10th, 1865.
The Warm Air Furnace invented and
manufactured by Mr.. Peter Martin, of Gin
cinnati, was put into the Union school
building OF this city in November last, and
thus far it has given entire satisfaction. 1t
surpasses other furnaces in the following
important particulars: 1t has, compare
lively, a greater heating surface; produces
larger volume of heat with given amount
of fuel; the condition of the air in respect
to temperature, moisture and purity, is SUI
perior; the admission of cold air, the sup
ply of warm air for the several rooms, and
the fires, are more easily regulated.
To avoid scorching and decomposing the
air, as is done, to some extent, by other hot
air furnaces, and to secure to each room an
abundant supply Of pure, fresh air, warmed
to pleasant temperature, as well as to pro-
tect the wrought-iron air-hues from
the effects Of the fire, it is essential that
the warm air-fues leading to the school
rooms, should be at least twelve
inches in diameter. This will insure the
influx of such large and rapid current OF
fresh air as to prevent the wrought-iron
tlues from being overheated, and thus secure
the durability of the furnace, and keep the
warm air in healthful condition. 1t is
deemed proper to State in this connection,
that our Board of Education was induced
to order Mr.. Martins Furnace, because two
other furnaces had been previously used in
our school edifice without satisfactory re-
suits, and because, after careful examina-
tion of large number of furnaces and
other modes Of warming school houses and
other public ediiices, not only in Western,
but also in Eastern cities. Mr.. Martins was
believed to be decidedly the best.

MANAGER ELLsLER's might
the complimentary benefit rendered to
Manager Ellsler takes place at the Opera
House. 1t is also the farewell night of his
fine dramatic company, with whom, on
Monday night, he opens season at the
Academy Of Music in Cleveland.
The bill for this evenings entertainment
is splendid one. 1t opens with the beau
tiful American comedy, called "Self,' COM
posed by Mrs. Sydney F. Bateman, which
on this occasion viii he produced for the
first time before Columbus audience. In
1t Mr.. Ellsler will personate John Unit, re-
tired banker, and he will be assisted by Il Q
entire force, of the company. Mr.. Evans
will read new poem under the title of the
"Last Charge" The entertainment will
wind up with the irresistibly mirth-pro-
voking farce of "The Ghost" in which Mr..
Lewis is so inimitably comic.
We need hardly bespeak for Manager
Ellsler's benefit liberal patronage. Every
one feels that as Manager, formerly at the
Atheneum, and this season at the Opera
House, his enterprise and tact in catering
to the public taste and qualification, richly
deserve, on this farewell night, a strong
testimonial of approval in the shape of
crowded house. And such testimonial,
we feel quite sure, will be accorded him.
