New ORLEANS, May 81, via CAIRO, May
26-The Picayune has reliable information
from the trans Mississippi Department that
Col. Sprague's conference with Kirby Smith
resulted in nothing of consequence. Smith
is disposed to surrender, but the Missouri
Generals Parsons and Shelby demanded
amnesty for themselves, which is not offer
ed in the Presidents proclamation. Sprague
returned, accompanied by Missouri Colo
mel, who goes to Washington with him, to
confer with the authorities there. If Gen.
erals are not included in the amnesty, they
propose to join MaXimilian. Troops are
deserting in great numbers and going
home. The people are generally despond-

Mr.. Bingham-You need not state what
he said to you. Declarations of the pris-
oners can't be admitted in defense.
Mr.. Cox stated that evidence had been
adduced by the prosecution to prove the
prisoner was fleeing from arrest, and it was
legitimate and meet on the part of the de-
fense, by showing that he voluntarily sur
rendered himself. .H

objection was sustained by the court.
Question. State whether or not defen-
dant authorized you to procure an officer
to take him in charge?
Ans. He did.
Mr.. Bingham-I object to that, but as
witness has answered it let it go.
Witness,always regarded O'Laughlin as
very amiable. Did not remember ever see
+ ing him in passion. On political ques-
tions he had never been violent; never heard
him express opinionson on the issues of the
day, except in a moderate manner.
After recess Mandry gave an account of
the surrender of O'Laughlin to the officers.
An attempt was made by defense to intro
duce evidence to show that Booth was a
man of pleasing address and likely to in
fluence young men with whom he associa-
ted, but the court refused to allow it.
Henry Finnegus testified: Was in Mon
treal in February. Knew Sanders, Cleary
and others of this circle by sight. Saw them
at st. Lawrence Hall and various public
places. Didn't see Jacobs or Beverly

New YORK, May ga recent letter
from Lynchburg says: We are cut off
from every section of the world. 1t is i'm
possible to hear from friends abroad. The
Orange and Alexandria trains are only
running to Amherst Court House, distant
fifteen miles. Those on the Virginia and
Tennessee railroad go to Liberty, twenty
five miles west. The South-side is in oper-
alton between here and the junction. The
chief damage to roads is the destruction of
bridges, but this is fast being repaired by
the companies. The Virginian newspaper

A terrible rain storm occurred at Rich
mond last Sunday. A portion of the city was
completely inundated, and it was rumored
that number of persons were drowned.
The damage by the Hood to property is said
to be incalculable. Thousands of sheep,
cattle, horses, &C., were drowned. Injury
to Central railroad is thought to be heavy,
though as yet we have heard of no particu-
lar damage to it.

The Gold Market.

New YORK, May 26-Gold has taken
downward turn. The demand for export
to-day is less active. Owing to the with
drawal of orders for considerable amour
for shipment, the price is decidedly weak.
There are indications that the rise of the
last few days is very much the result of a
feigned export movement and individual
purposes outside the gold room. 1t now ap-
pears probable that shipments for the week
