NEW YORK, May 1.-THE Herald's
correspondent, in the Gulf Department,
furnishes interesting accounts of the in
cidents preceding, attending and follow
ing the occupation of Brownsville, Tex
as, on the 31stult., by the National troops
under General Brown. The rebel troops,
previous to evacuating the place, pillia7
ged the town and made prisoners of some
of their officers, until their demads for
the payment of their back dues were
complied with. The rebels left the day
previous to Gen. Browns arrival; not
waiting to be paroled or to comply in any
manner with the terms of Gen. Kirby
Smiths surrender. Large numbers of
them moved across the Rio Grande into.
Mexico, taking with them their arms
Their artillery they sold to the Mexican
Imperialists at Matamoras. 1t is said
that the last of the rebels were driven
from Brownsville by Mexican residents,
who organized a home guard, for the pres
ervation of order, soon after the evaeu--
alton commenced. After taking possess
sion Of Brownsville, Gen. Brown wrote a
letter to Gen. Mejia, the Imperalist com
mander at Matamoras, assuring him that
neutrality would be observed by the
forces in regard to the contest
in Mexico between the Republicans and
Imperial1sts.

The REAL CHARACTER OF JEFF. DAVIS.

FROM the LondOn5AeWs, May "a
The situation of this unhappy man Is
now such as would excite pity, If it were
possible to think Of him without remem-
boring the unspeakable woes which his
ambition has brought upon his country.
He was not only head Of the Confeder-
ate Government, but u prime mover Of
the conspiracy which plunged the people
of the South into q causeless war before
time was given them to deliberate on the
course not comfortable to their interest,
and a large proportion of them protested
against secession. Gen. Lee has excused
him on the ground that he yielded to the
solicitation of others. But his speech in
the Senate of the United States on the
21st Of January, 1861, would suffice to
refute this statement If we had not album
dant evidence to the contrary from other
sources. And not only did he plan this
war but on him rests the chief RESPONSE
bility of continuing it for months and
years after the hope of success had pass
ed away From what Lee and johnson
and Hardee have stated since the fall Of
the ~Confederacy 1t is now clear that Mr..
Davis prolonged the wal after his best
Generals had urged him to make peace.
If he were answerable for nothing worse
than the great sacrifice of life caused by
the rejection of Mr.. Lincoln's proposals

load of responsibility might we'll break
down the stOutest heart. His language
and acts during the nine months pre-
ceding his flight from Richmond suf-
~ioientIy disclosed the ruin of his hopes.
Until then a habit of self-restraint had
concealed to a great extent his real char
acter.
But from the time he visited Georgia,
after the fall of Atlanta, and called Gov.
Brown a scoundrel in a public speech,
down to the address of March last, in
which he referred to Grant and Sherman
as ~spaniels whom he would whip, the
apparent. 1t was about the time of the
reckless Macon speech that he began to
authorize those atrocious outrages, which
have made it less difficult to believe in
his completely with the plot which result
ia Mr.. Lincoln's death.

InpM mIrcHEI,s ARREST.

The arrest of John Mitchell has already
been noticed IN our columns. The New
York Tribune says he has been taken to
Fortress Monroe to await trial.
The order was executed by two members
of General Dix's staff, accompanied by
officers Elder and Davoe, of the detective
squad. The officers, upon entering the
News Office, inquiredf for Mr. Mitchell, who
responded in person, and wished to know
what was wanted Of him. j warrant OF
arrest was then produced. at which Mr..
Mitchell did not seem to be at all aston
ished. He expressed his readiness to ac-
company the officers, and was at once
placed IN a carriage, and rapidly driven
off. Mitchell was perfectly silent for some
moments after the carriage commenced
moving. He presently broke the silence
by saying to Capt. Callahan, one of the Of
fcers accompanying him-so goes the ru-
NOR Of the street
Captain, from your name, L take you
to be an Irishman.
Capt. C.-"You are right, sir, L am an
Irishman.
Mr.. Mitchel.-"0f course you know me
to be one also how can you find it in
your heart to arrest one Of your fellow
countrymen ~
Capt. CT am now an American you
are no more my fellow-countryman than
anybody else I only know that We have
orders to arrest you.
Mr.. M.-'For what?
Capt. CT dent bnow-for treason,
pehaps.
Mr.. M-~ButI am not a traitor. The
South are fairly thrashed, and [ follow
the tide-I am no longer a traitor, but a
peaceful, loyal nam

ell, [ have no time to handy words. You
are an Irishman, [ am ashamed to say
You pretended to fee from the oppression
of the Old World to the freedom Of the
New yet almost your first act in your
new found liberty, was to declare yourself,
in favor of a species of human bondage,
the meanest, and most infamous recorded
in history. la that cause you toiled with
brain and Drawn for five years, and you
now have the sublime impudence to come
here, in New York, and establish yourself
as the head of the most ultra Copperhead
sheet in the city. [ can only say that, as a
general thing, your countrymen abhor and
despise you, and that my own contempt
for you is so great that [ can find no Ian
guage to further express myfeelings."
Mr.. Mitchel's face worked convulsively
as he listened to this answer but he said
nothing more.
He was then taken to Gen. Dix's office
and probably shipped off as above stated.

The Springfield Republican thinks the
time has come when it will do no harm to
make some disclosures respecting attempts
for prudential reasons. Il appears that a
torpedo, made in imitation of a lump of
coal, was discovered under a flight of
stairs, in the arsenal last December, and
on being opened proved to contain powder
and inhamable material enough, if explod-
ed, to entirely destroy the building. In
v~estigation showed that the internal ma
chine was left by two women or men in
women's clothes, who were disturbed just
in time to prevent them from i%gniting its

IaE pRnsAaIE PRIGE uE WOOL.

Being called upon to give our views OF
the probable price of wool, we l so ac-
cording to the best light of the present
time and as those views we're judged to
be sound and safe, we are requested by
wool growers TO put them upon record
here, which we will do brIehy, though
they are not entirely new OF original, yet
thew NAV be OF service to some people
who need line upon line to protect them
from the sophistries OF o~lly-tongued par
ties who lie in wait to make merchandise
of such as are weak in faith. Our talk Is
on this wise:
We have emerged from under the clouds
and amid the tempests of a four years
war, into the times which we have all SO.
f~erventIy been praying for, when peace
shall again prevail IN the land. All this
while the farmer has stood hrm, willing
to see the top or the bottom of the mar
ket. Last year he saw the top, and, if
wise. awaited himself of its benefits and
now he sees the bottom, and how does he
find it? Solid ground! With a currency
in value and quality adequate to all the
commercial transactions of the country
with a national and individual debt IN
furnished, u country presents aspectacle
hitherto unknown in the history of the
world, under like circumstances. The
supply of American wool is far short of
the consumptive demand. Manufacturers
win pay you no more than imported wool
of the same quality will cost them, with a
discrimination IN favor OF h eforelgn artl-
Gle, just to show the wool grower how in
dependent they can be of home produc-
tons. The import duty may be said to be
thirty per cent. upon the wool which
comes in most direct competition with
yours add to this the rate of exchange
with gold at about 81 40, and you have the
field with your woods at from 20 to IS cts.
a pound in present currency The return
OF peace-While 1t puts a stop to the great
wastes of war-does not diminish the
number Of consumers of you wool. The
men who lay off the-coarse army blue, will
put on fine cassimeres and broadcloths,
and they have the money in their pockets
to pay for their new clothes. The vast
regions of the south are open to our trade,
and they too become our customers, since
their own staple is neglected or destroyed.
Sambo in the South, who was formerly
reckoned among the cattle, has now be-
come a man, and having wages will spend
his money for clothes, SO as to look like
other men. All our people have largely
increased their consumption of wooden
goods, and particularly our women. These
facts, added to the figures above stated,
all point to a healthy condition of the
wool business.
Wool buyers may talk of opening the
market this year at50 or 60 cents a pound,
do not be In haste to go in at such prices.
They will tell you that some of them lost
money last year-so they did. They
bought most of your wool at 70 to 80 cents,
and held it for 81 %, and got their fingers
burnt Who are to blame but them
selves, when they could have sold every
pound of it at 81 10, and made a big
profit? They were too greedy. Let the
wool growers of Ohio keep their nerves
steady, and they will fix the market price
of wool this season.-Ohio Farmer.

A monument to the victims of the
Baltimore massacre of April 19, 1861,
was dedicated at Lowell, Mass, on Sat
urday, with impressive services. Two
of the soldiers killed by the Baltimore
mob were residence of Lowell, and were
the first dead of the war, if We except
the man accidentally killed by an explo-
sion after Fort Sumter had surrendered,
The monument was dedicated on the
ninetieth anniversary of the battle OF
battle of Bunker Hill. A flag was sent
from Baltimore, with an inscription ex-
pressing the regrets. of the now redeemed
Maryland for the madness of four years
ago. The main feature of the occasion
was the speech of Gen. Butler. He comes
out unequivocally for negro suffrage, and
demanded that justice be done the black
soldier, who has Away been loyal, and has
periled his life for his country.

Gov. TOD AND THE FAIRFIELD COURT.

The Ohio Supreme Court has sustained
the validity Of the law of Congress for
the removal to the United States Dis
trict Courts of suits brought in the
State Courts for acts done under the au-
thority of the United States. The de-
cision was made in the attempted Demo-
cratic persecution of Gov. Tod, in the
Fairfield County Court, for the arrest of
Edison B. Olds. This promising effort
has been thwarted, and with the triumph
of the country, the odor of the prosecu-
ton has become such that it is doubtful
if the i~nstigators will desire to continue
it, especially in a court where they may
expect loyalty and law.

An American lady. who was soiourn-
ing in Rome whilst Sherman was making
his grand campaign through the Carolina,
wrote home to her father as follows
"Oh father, how fortunate you are; you
know where Sherman has gone, but we
are in deep distress, for our next door
neighbor, Gen. Mcclellan, is croaking,
and saying that Sherman and his army
can never march through that country,
and will be destroyed as the Roman le-
gions were destroyed under Varus."-
Poor Mcclellan because he failed in al
most every important movement he had
no faith in what others might attempt
We hope he is convinced now that all
American Generals are not of his class,
and that the rebels have really been
whipped.
