From Washington

Washington dispatch says: Gen. Sherman's
report will be published next week by order
of the War Department. Sherman will re-
tain command of the Military Division of
the Mississippi, comprising Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisi-
ana, headquarters at Cincinnati. p vrA

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The principal
postoilices in Virginia, Georgia, Alabama,
North Carolina and South Carolina are at
present managed by special agents. Noap-
pointments of ofPostmasters will be made un-
til post routes are re-established, suitable
opportunity occurs for a consultation on
the public interests, and the wishes of the
respective communities upon that subject.
1t is now thought that all the witnesses
in the conspiracy trial will be examined be-
fore Thursday, and after that day the argu-
ments will be commenced. These will
probably be in written form from all par
ties engaged in the proceedings. : An effort
will be made to close the case by the end of
the week. :, - ,-1.yto,..F ,o-

Soldiers National Cemetery at Gettysburg,

How the Rebel Archives were
Captured Governor Vance.

New YORK, May 27-The Herald's Ra-
leigh correspondent explains how the rebel
archives fell into our hands. Gen. john
ston notified Gen. Schofeld that they were
at Charlotte, and the latter sent Lieutenant
Washburne for them. Gen. Johnston re-
ceived Lieut.. Washburne very courteously,
and told him where the documents were Sc
creted in cellar. He had already turned
them over to the Union commander of the
post, as he had no troops to put over them
as guard. They were found in eighty-three
boxes, of all sizes and descriptions. A large
number of captured Union flags, duly Ia
belled, were found.
Gov. Vance claims that, though arrested,
he was not arrested as a fugitive. for he had
previously offered to surrender himself to
Gen. Schotield, but was released and allow
ed to return to his family.

JEFF Davis--The North Carolina
DelegatiOns-.B. G. Breclkinridge
Thought to be Captured.

New YORK, May N.-The Commercials
Washington special says: The demonstra-
tion of Indignation by jeff, Davis on being
placed on army rations was the cause of his
being placed in irons. .'..'
The conservative delegation from North
Carolina is now contning its efforts to Sc
curing the observance of the old State laws
in the elections for the formation of the
new State Government. This view will
probably be sustained by President John
son, who doubts the authority of the Fed
eral Government to interfere with the status
previous to secession. The other North
Carolina delegation demands the suffrage
for colored men.
Sherman's soldiers are feted by our citi-
zens, who open their houses freely to them.
There is reason to believe that John G.
Breckenridge is one of the party captured
In Florida. The Mccullough is believed to
be the man who prepared the combusti BILE s
to burn the Northern cities. on.

Of ths1yery Serious Family" was finely
rendered by Pixies Opera House Company
Oh Saturday night. Those who missed see
hight, missed one of the best comic enter
tainments Of the season. The members of
thelong7faced family were well represented,
as were the characters in the play of more
volatileturn. The reform or transition in
the last act was graphically portrayed, and
made the house overrun with merriment.
The farce was also well played.
Tom Taylor's popular play of the ''Ticket
of Leave Man" will be put on the stage at
the Atheneum tonight. There will be

cessful and faithful rendition of this great
drama, so descriptive of existing English
life and manners.

splendid play Of the "Octoroon, or Life in
Louisiana" WILL be reproduced for the last
time at the Opera House tonight. It is
gotten up with such fine scenery and me-
chanicsi contrivances, as to give its thrill
ing scenes and incidents their full effect. 1t
Is cast with the full strength Of the com
pany, who give the several characters their
due prominence, with vivid representation
Of the peculiarities Of each. Miss Josephine

Suspicion. Characters Captured.

New YORK, May 27th.-Lieut. Holly,
commanding detachment of the 2d tlori-
da cavalry, under date of Cape Sable, May
18th, reports having captured boat on the
18th. off Bay Port, Florida, containing
seven white men and negro, endeavoring
to escape to Havana. The white men gave
the following names: Frank p. Anderson,
Rich'd S. Mccullough, Fred'k Mohleny,
Henry Mccormick, julius G. Pratt Thos.
A. Harris and Isaac A. Horner. Their
trunks contained considerable rebel curren-
cy, some gold and few papers. They I'M
doubtedly had been holding important
positions in Richmond, which place they
acknowledged having recently left. The
colored man states that he was hired at $40
a day and his freedom on arriving at Ha-
vana, to guide them from Tallahassee.
Their conduct leads to the belief that they
were men of some importance, and their
names are undoubtedly fictitious. They
have not yet arrived at Key West.

charges for the regiments reviewed at

been captured or eHeetually subdued. But
