that funds sufficient to pay off our SOL

arrested as a participant in the Philadel-
phia arson plot.
Notwithstanding there is an effort to
cast censure on Sergeant Corbett for
shooting Booth, the act was approved at
the time by all present and is now ap-
proved by his own superior officers: Cor
bett did not fire until he saw Booth tax
ing aim at one of the officers. and then
he only intended to wound him. Corbett
had previously asked to be permitted to
enter the barn alone, but this was several
times denied him The failure ofGover-
nor Fenton to promote him is cause OF
regret.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-The State De-
partment has received the following
translation of an extract from the pro-
ceedings of the Legislative body of the
republic of Bremen:
SESSION OF THE LEGISLATIVE BODY,
April 19, 1865.
At the opening of the session the Presi-
dent Judge Pa Myer, addressed the as
sembly in the following words:
Before we begin to transact our regu,
lar business, let us remember the joyful
and most important news which has ar
rived within the last few days from the
other side of the Atlantic ocean. Let US
remember and enjoy the great victory
won BY the armies of the Union over the
rebellion of the shareholders. Bremen is
and always has been OH the most init
mate connection with the United States.
Many of our sons are fighting in the
ranks of the Federal army, and the men
of free labor, and the Germans have
shown that persistency and valor which
must finally conquer victory even over
the infuriated struggling elements of the
enemy. Gentlemen, let us show Onr SYM
pathy with the American Union by ris-
ing from our seats.
The entire assembly then rose and gave
three enthusiastic cheers for the victory
cf the just cause.
The Commissioner of Internal Reve-
uue has decided that the losses in mer-
chandise can be deducted only from the
gains in merchandise In this case par
ticular branches of merchandise need not
be separated; so that in speculation the
loss or gain from stock may effect the
loss or gain for produce speculated in.
A resolution was introduced into the
ely council lastinight. admonishing and
warning those men who left their homes
in this city at the commencement of the
rebellion and openly deied the national
Government and engaged in their horrid
work of treason, that their return at this
time would be exceedingly repugnant to
the loyal citizens of Washington, and
would be regarded as an act unprodnc-
tive of good, but fraught with much
harm. This resolution caused al excited
debate A public meeting is called for
tonight to prevent the rebels from re-
turning to Washington. A large num-
Der are already here. ~

New YORK, May "a special to the
the Times, from Washington 9th, says
Information was received at army head
quarters to-day of the final and complete
surrender of Dick TayloI's forces in Ala
bama and Mississippi to General Candy
1t is a remarkable fact that this news
and other dispatches were received over
rebel telegraph lines, direct from Macon
to Washington. General Wilson is still
in Macon. The escape OF Jetf DAVIS Is
therefore next to impossible 1t is said
Davis, after leaving Yorkville, S. c.,
reached Washington, Ga, OH the 4th.--
From here he was again driven by the
approach of General StonemT. The di-
rection taken indicates an attempt to
cross the Mississippi river, but he will
find Wilson in his path.

mac. estimated at from 10000 to $4,000
strong. They occupied five hours and
three quarters in passing given point.
They bivonacked ten miles East OF Rich

corps of Sherman's army arrived AT
Richmond on Sunday. WolcOtt's diyis-
ion was in the advance. The Goth, 10Th
and 18th corps were within one day ;
march. The l4th corps marched i9o
miles in six days.
Trains are now running from Rich
mond to Danville.
The Richmond Wing says: The most
of the troops of the Cd and 9th corps
passed the Libby Prison, which was IN
cluded in the route, in order to CRAFTY
the soldiers. II was marked alternately
by cheers and groans from those who

war, were so unfortunate rs To he IN

probable proximity of that distinguish
ed chief of the late Confederate forces,
cheered Justify as the residence was ap-
preached and passed. II is said General
Lee stood at closed blind OF one of the
windows and viewed the pageant for u
few minutes.
We understand that the route OF the
procession was selected aud led through
the streets that wOull best afford the
troops an opportunity OF viewing the
city before which they had been lighting
four years for itspossession, and the sol
diers seemed to enjoy the spectacle with
pleasure, though without any outside

General Joseph Eggle ton Johnston is a
plain, agreeable looking man. about NIFTY
five wears of age, FIVE feet eight and a
half OF nine inches i'll height, OF no great
physiognomical force, but remarkable,
among other rebel officers, for the ease
and urbanity of his manners, and the ap-
parent absence of malevolent feeling to-
ward those by whom he has been fairly
yapouished. His hair has been dark
was so, understand. at the commence
ment of the war, but is now past the me-
dium tinge of iron gray, and makes him
seem perhaps even older than he really
is Yet lam told the anxieties and heart
burnings of the bygone terrible four
wears have aged him far less than Lee or
Beauregard, the latter of whom, indeed,
is said to be prematurely worn-out, bro
ken man. General Johnston's eyes are a
clear, penetrating hazel, calm and refiec-
tive, though rather eager and aggressive,
as are the eyes of General Sherman The
impression he makes on the casual OBJ
server is more than ordinarily favorable,
and il is easy to understand the respect
and esteem with which he has Aeen uni
yersally regarded by all the leading trai-
tors of the South, except jeff. Davis
General Johnston conversed on various
subjects somewhat cautiously, but with
out actual restraint. Speaking of the
assassination of President Lincoln, he
said he regretted that Booth had not
been taken alive, so that hisco-conspira-
tors could have been discovered. He de-
plored the murder as infamous and hor-
rible. and declared his belief that it was
not the work of southerners. He ex-
pressed the deepest respect for Abraham
tincoln's personal character, acknowl-
edgiug he possessed the highest qualities
of head and heart, and that in his death
the South had lost its best and truest
friend. He feared that President john
SON, being southern man and strong
partisan, might be influenced by piques
and preiudices from which his predeces-
sor would have been free With regard
to slavery, he admitted that the institu-
tion had been killed by the war, that the
whole system of society at the South
would undergo radical changes; and ne
did not controvert the idea that those
changes would be for the great and last
ing benefit of the whole country
