The most important news now going, is
to the effect that Dick Taylor has surrend-
cred his 70: &c in Alabama and Mississippi
to Gen. Canby. The news was received over
the reb.l telegraph lines direct from Macon
Ga, to Washington Gen. Wilson has
closed his brilliant raid and is now at Ma
con, waiting for JEFF. Davis 70 come that
way. AZ last accounts Davis had been sur
prised and nearly captured BY Gen Stone
man near Yorkvllle s. G. L is thought he
has gone west, intending to cross the Miss
issippi, out he will probably fad that route
INSTRUCTED. 1t is thought that he will most
assuredly be captured, for every effort VIII
be made to effect that object. The cyl.
dence in the possession of government OF
the completely Of jeff Davis and his pro
scribed agents in the assassination is such
that it is thought, should they escape to
another country, no foreign government
will hesitate moment in giving them up.
President Johnsou's proclamation for Dav-
is arrest, offering 100000 for him has
been widely circulated; it was telegraphed
all over the south on the hitherto rebel
lines.
There is deep feeling of indignation
and regret manifested in Europe at the as
sassination Of President Lincoln, public
meetings have been held, and resolutions
passed attesting the most sincere and pro-
found regret and sorrow at the mournful
event

The Poisoning of Andrew Johnson.

There can be but little doubt left in
the minds Of those who attentively per-
used the details of the plot to assassinate
the leaders of the Government, that An
drew Johnson, who has endured SO much
undeserved obloquy for bis singular alb
erration On the 18th of March, was on
that occasion under the influence, not
only of mere disturbing drug, intend
ed to disfgure him, but Of deadly pois-
On, furtivcly insinuated in his drink with
view to take bis life. It is in proof
that the assassinations were to have been
perpetrated On the 4th of March, and
that Booth. the chief assassin, had post
ed himself in position where Mr.. Lin
coin must pass closely by, and it was
doubtlessly expected that about the time
when the President should have perish
ed by the pistol, the new Vice President
would have expired in the Capitol from
the effects of the potion be had taken
Probably this view Of the matter has
never struck the mind Of Mr.. Johdson,
and it is not to be supposed that under
the mystery of that occurrence, which
must have puzzled him more than any
| body else, he would care to allude to the
affair with any attempts at explanation
that might have been misunderstood
The disclosure Of the instructions dis
tributed among the assassins, that ''thoy
were at liberty to use the blade, the pis-
to', or the bowl, but they must bear in
mind the lotter had once .failed, " seems
to be conclusive upon this point, and will
doubtless suggest some important rccol-
lections to the Presidents mind. His
powerful nature triumphed over the in
fernal draught, and thus, in addition to
an invaluable life being saved to the ma
ton, we are gratifed in the conviction,
that one who has always been sober,
selfrespectlng statesman, is now provl-
dentially relieved from even a passing
cloud on his career Wilkes Spirit.

Street Scene in Richmond.

The Richmond correspondent of the
N. Y. Evening Post is responsible for
the following sketch Of the change that
has come over Richmond:
I was privileged to listen this morning
to discussion, in front of the Spots
wood House, which Illustrated in strik-
ing manner the march Of opinion -
Four years ago it would have been un-
safe to preach abolition doctrine right
in the heart of Richmond, but that was
the doctrine | heard proclaimed to-day,
in presence of a delighted audience. It
came about in this way j: A civilian Wis
itor, getting into conversation with a
young southcrner, returned some remark
in favor Of the negro. 1t was resented
by the stripping, who carried nimble
tongue. whereupon the other declared
with emphasis that the loyal blacks were
''bctter men than white traitors, any
day" The youth, flushing up, said he
wouldn't submit to such language; it
was ungenerous to insult men who ac-
knowlcdged themselves beaten ''But I
tell you, said the other, you shall sub
nit to it; I've come down here for the
express purpose of saying in Richmond
what | have always been free to say in
New York. You are worse than your
slaves; you are even worse than the say
ages Of middle Africa, and III provc it.
These savages are fond of making trink-
~. oR G.,
are you. Didn't you roast the flesh
from the bones of our dead soldiers at
Bull Run to make finger rings and par
lor ornaments for your rebel Jezebels
The savages Of Africa have fondness
for drinking from the skulls Of those they
have slain in battle, or slaughtered for
their feasts Haven't you done he same
thing? In Central Africa the negroes
divide themselves into small tribes, each
warning with the other, and even boast
ing an absolute sovereignty. Haven t
you been trying to cut up the Union in
to petty soyerelgnties, each state striy-
ing for an exclusive dominion? Don t
you aim just as the sayages Of Africa do,
to put the weak under the feet OF the
strong; don't you Cypress the defence
less haven't you starved our prisoners
aud murdered in cold blood women and
children, fer no other cause than loyal
ty? Canibals of ETHIOPIA are shrouded
in ignorance, but you have sinned in the
face Of light and knowledge; you have
known better, but refused to be human;
just because slavery, your nursing moth
err, was born in the lap Of the devil, and
feeds her children on hell.broth -
That was strong talk for Richmond,
but it was listened to by sidewalk au-
dence Of two or three hundred persons
soldiers and others-and was actually
applauded. The young southron stamp
ed raved and swore, but it was of no
use; his tormentor was pitiless, and
when the crowd opened to let the victim
pass, he shot away as if a forty-pound
ball were at bis back It will take
some time for this dose, administered by
northern fanatic" to accomplish a
perfect digestion.

The Scene closes-the Curtain falls

Resumption Of Trade.

War and commerce are irreconcilablc en-
enlies. Commerce cannot be openly and
amicably carried on between two nations at
war. When the South inaugurated war,
trade was discontinued or carried on by
stealth But the enemy is conquered, peace
is again dawning on our land, and as re-
suit Of our glorious republican government,
free trade Is to be resumed, and all restrict
ions to trade with the hitherto rebellious
States are to be lifted The blockade is at
an end, and we are heartily glad Of it, fol
we see no harm that would now be likely
to result from such step. We owr
