ARREST OF JOHN M1rcHEIL.-John
Mitchell, editor of the New York Daily
News, and late editor of the Richmond
Examiner, was arrested in New York on
Wednesday afternoon, and taken to Fort
Lafayette. Our readers will remember
that Mitchell was engaged in the Irish re-
bellion some years ago, and violated every
principle of honor, and deserted Smith
o'Brien and his cOmpatriots, and escaped
to this country. Here he found an asylum
and saved his neck from the gallows.
When the rebellion commenced he took
decided ground in favor of treason, and as
editor of the Richmond Examiner was one
of the most bitter defamers of the United
States. If he gets his juat deserts he will
give the Government no further trouble
than to hang him.

that the blood Of the martyr may be the
seed. of blessings from His hand, to be
showered upon us now and in all times
hereafter.
Resolved, 2. That the assassination of
such a man, at such time, has been truly
defined to be "a crime without name,'
and blot upon civilization and the
spirit and sentiment which produced as a
natural growth an act so abhorent, have
won an inheritance of eternal infamy.
ResoIVed, 8. That in an unexampled
period of our history Abraham Lincoln
has exemplifed the best traits of Ameri-
can character. His profound sagacity,
his kindly and manly virtues, his practi-
cal and enlightened craftsmanship, his
pre-eminent patriotism, and his forbear-
ing clemency, have challenged the admi-
ration of the world Called to the Chief
Magistraey of great nation when perils
Of no ordinary character were to be en-
countered and overcome, he brought to
the discharge of his duties an abiding
faith in the perpetuity of our free institu-
tions, which no clouds of gloom or disas-
ter could darken or obscure. Closing his
first administration in the protracted
struggle with treason, folly anG tyranny,
he had entered upon his second term un-
der more favorable auspices. The arms
of the nation were victorious-the Gov
ernment of the people was sustained and
amid the rejoicing over this glorious con-
summation the gloom of his death spread
like pail over the whole land. He fell
"devoted but undying," as one who had
served his country and honored humanity.
Not only is he now, but in the ages of the
future he will be, enshrined in the hearts
of the people. The world stands as a
mourner at his grave, and charges history
to embalm his memory upon her undying
tablets.
Resolved, 4. That the Secretary OF State
be, and he is hereby, directed to cause
the foregoing preamble and resolutions
to be published in all the newspapers of
the State
These resolutions were adopted by both
Houses, were enrolled and received the
signature of the Speaker of the House,
but before the enrolled copy reached the
Senate for the signature of the Speaker,
that body had adjourned.
A bill was introduced in the House to
pay the Judges of our Courts something
like fair compensation, but the early ad.
journment prevented action on it.
Mr.. Todd introduced joint resolution
: appointing committee to consider what
action should be taken by the Farmers
Bank, in view of the act Of Congress tax
ing the circulation of State banks aftel
the first day Of July, 1866, which wat
adopted by both Houses.
Under joint resolution both Houses
adjourned during the afternoon until the
second Tuesday in January next.
The stockholders of the Farmers Banl
i. held general meeting yesterday at thei
Banking House in this town. The quet
