proceedings OF. the rebel provisional Con

lo6l. These documents were esptared

they had been placed for sate keeping.
The entire official history Of the rebel army

while under command of Bragg, J Johnston
and Hood, are part Of this lot, slso books
of the rebel Treasury Department, captured
st Albany Georgia, which point they had
resched IS psrt Of JEFF. Davis train. seq
The success of the national cemetry at
Gettysburg is inspiring the commissioners
ofthe AntieLsm national eemetry to s Wig
orous prosecution Of their work. The sue.
cess In Identifying the remains Of the dead
on that field has been very gratifying.
Thus far the names of tie regiments and
States of 1888 have heen asceFtsined,
which are divided among ths States e a. =
Massachusetts, 196; Wisconsin, 60; Rhode
Island, 30; Connecticut, 1872; Michigan,
26 Ohio, 81; Minnesota, 8; Delaware, 19;

The bodies Of the four executed on Fri.
day yet remain in graves within the arse
nal grounds. No order, permitting the
families to remove them has been issued.
It appears that no objection is made 70 an
order allowing the bodies to be delivered to
the families and friends claiming them for
the purpose of quiet burial, but the au-
thOrities will not consent to any demon
strstion or regular funeral, which it sp.o
pears was intended by tho friends Of Ms.
Surrstt Harold sud Atzerott.
Miss. Surrstt sent g note TO General
Hartrsupt, thanking him in the most heart
felt terms for the kindness she had received
at his hand, and the facilities he hss afford
ed her of remaining in the society of her
mother whilst in prison. The surgeons
who examined the bodies state that they
do not think the necks of any but Mrs.
Surratt were broken. Pa. 4
Among the papers of JEFF. Davis, cap
tured, government has discovered several
documents of vital importance in determ.
ming the guilt and completely of Davis in
the conspiracy plot. However it shall be
determined 70 try him on q charge of

General Pope's plan for the treatment Of
Indians in the northwest, of which we made
mention few days ago meets with the sp-
proyal of tha President, and Mr.. Dale,
Commissioner OF Indian Affairs, Will not
now visit the several tribes 70 make treaties
IS heretofore proposed Mr.. Dale has re-
sumed his official duties as Commissioner.
General Pops proposes to put an end TO
Indian traders, and place the trade in the
hands of officers Of the government.
Oneof the Hsrald's correspondents writ
ing from Columbus, Mississippi gives q
picture Of the manner, morals, habits and
character of the elIississippians, which is not
very AatteriDg. He finds among them
little of that chivalry to which they have
SO long laid claim, on the contrary he says
the msjority of them are exceedingly 'ig-
norant and devoid of enterprise, the poor
whites, in this respect, stsnding on par
with the negroes. What little there was
before the war of the institution called so
ciety now ceases TO exist and the social
state of society Is completely disoFgsnized
and some Yankee leaven will be required
TO effect its resucitAtion. ....-.
