Imports and EXPORTS.

Our imports for the year ending June 30,
1861, were $500, 5G2, s95 included in which
are FREQ merchandise, $ll l2G, 332, and
specie and bullion, sl3ll5,6l2. These
figures are given at their foreign gold cost,
duty and freight unpaid. Our exports for
the same period were $40, COS, $50, included
in which wcro $l05, l25, $50 in specie and
bullion. The domestic products other than
specie in the above figures are rcckoncd in
currency, and this fact will serve to show
how greatly the balance of trade was against
us during the last fiscal year, Our export
ofspccie and bullion was S23, 600, 900 greater
than in the preceding year, aud for that year
1t was some $4,000, 900 greater than in
1887, when it was moro than in any year
preceding 1868.

Garrison and Thompson.

Among the distinguished visitors present
at the raising Of the flag on Fort Sumpter
were VIM LLOYD GARRISON and GEORGE
THOMPSON. So far as the first named gen.
tleman is concerned, we can entertain some
respect for the fierce and fearless fanaticism
which, in conjunction with his eminent
qualifications as an agitator, made him for
years the leader Of tho abolition party. He
is the father of that party, and promulgated
its doctrines when they were regarded as
reasonable and malevolent. He bravcd
obloquy, contempt, and mobs, to dissent.
nate his ideas As a man, he had and has
many ostimablc qualities, but as subject Of
the government Of the United States, he
was in heart az great traitor as the most
rabid and violent sccessonist in Charleston
who assisted in the assault on Sumpter when
BEAUREGARD opened his cannon against it.
What has he to do with the raising Of n flag
which symboized the authority of consti
tuition he had denounced as "a league with
hell and covenant with death?' His pres
encc was an insult to the nation to the men
who devised the flag and framed our govern.
ment; to the memories of all who have died
in defending either and to all who live and
regard either with love and reverence.
As for the Englishman THOMPSON, his
hatred Of the Union sprang not from an i'm
practicable but sincere philanthropy, but
was the hereditary hatred of Briton, mind
ful Of the defeat of his country by Amcri-
cans, and unqualified by NOBLE generous
thought. 1lcleft his own countrymen slaves
10 want, Ignorance and degradation, to come
here and hypocrtically whine and camor
over the imaginary sufIerings of our negroes
He should be an objectof loathing to Ameri
cans, and be given clearly to understand
that his presence in the celebration of any
national event is only tolerated because he
is too despicable to receive the attention hi

Lincoln and Johnson,

The New York papers are publishing the
last public addresses of Mr. LINCOLN and
Mr.. JOHNSON An extract from each of
these will give us not only a view of the
temper of the men, but possibly will fore
shadow the future. Said Mr.. LINCOLN
with malice towards none, with charity
for all, with tirmness in the right, as God
gives us to see the right, let us strive on to
finish the work We are in to bind up the
nations wounds, to care for him who shall
have borne the battle and for his widow and
orphans, to do all which may achieve and
cherish a Just and lasting peace among our
selves and with all nations"
Said Mr.. JOHNSON:
Treason is the highest crime known in
the catalogue Of crimes; and for him that
is guilty of it-ior him that is willing to lift
his impious hand against the authority OF
the nation-l would say death is too easy a
punishment.
"My notion is that treason must be made
odlous, that traitors must be punished and
Impoverished, their social power broken
though they must be made to feel the pen.
atty Of their crimes Hence | say this--thc
halter to intelligent, influential traitors"
And thus Mr.. LINCOLN passes away, hi,
last official uttcrance to the nation filed witt
a mercy that is childikc in its quality and
magnitude. And thus Mr., JOHNSON takes
his place, with threats of vengeance still
fresh upon his lips The one has departed
with malice towards none and charity for
all )" the other has come threatening death,
punishment, hanging and impovcrishment
in his train. The one is like the new reve.
lation of fChrist--mercy, goodness and kind
ness; the other like the old revelation, in
which nations were extermnated and the
fierce doctrines of an eye for an eye and a
tooth for tooth we're enforced to the utter
most

the road running to Charlotte.
On the second interview Breckenridge,
the Rebel Secretary of War, was present,
and participated in drawing up the already
published memoranda of the terms of capi-
tulatinn.
Throughout the conversation he freely
admitted the failure Of the rebellion and
declared that peace was almost at hand.
and in alluding to the constitutional amend
ment, said that it was strictly the loyal way
Of abolishing slavery and he predicted its
ratification by more than two-thirds of the
States.
1t was understood that during this con-
ference, which lasted two days, jeff. Davis
was at Hillsboro and in telegraphic COM
munication with Breckenridge at John
stons headquarters.
The men of the rebel army, with the ex
ception of now and then some officer, were
anxious for peace and desired to go home.
Throughout North Carolina there have
been the most earnest exhibitions Of loyalty.
When our forces entered Raleigh the two

The play proceeded, although "Ow
Amerjc0H Cousin" without Mr.. Sothern,
has, since that gentleman's departure from
this country, been justly esteemed very
dull affair, The audience at Ford's inclu-
ding Mrs. Lincoln, seemed to enjoy it very
much. The worthy wife of the President
leaned forward, her hand upon her hus-
bands knee, watching every scene in the
drama with amused attention, Even across
the Presidents face, at intervals, swept q
smile robbing it of its habitual sadness.
THE AssAssINs PRELNuNARIEs TO FLIGHT
About the beginning of the second act,
the mare, standing in the stable in the rear
of the theatre, was disturbed in the midst
of her meal by the entrance of the young
man who had quilted her in the afternoon.
II is presumed that she was saddled and
bridled with exquisite care.
BooTH ENTERS THE THEATRE
Having completed these preparations,
MIR. Booth entered the theatre by the stage
door; summoned one ofthc scene shiiters, Mr..
John Spangler, emerged through the same
door with that individual, leaving the door
open, and left the mare in his hands TO be
held until he Booth should return. Booth,
who was even more iashonably and richly
dressed than usual, walked thence around to
the front of tho tho theatre, and went in. -
