The Capture OF JEFF. Davis.

The Detroit advertiser says! "Gcn.
Pritchard, widely known as the leader
of the party of the Fourth Michigan
Cavalry who captured jeff. Davis, has
forwarded his official report OF that
event to the War Department, accom-
panied by aAidavits of officers in com
pany with him at the time, entirely ex-
culpating him from the calumnlous
charges to which Wisconsin Colonel
has given the principal currency
Gen. Pritchard has asked permission
to publish his report and accompanying
documents, upon which he is willing tc
rest his vindication, which we assure
our readers, is complete. If, tor am
reason, the War Department shall de
cline to accede to General Pritchard''
request, he will take other means o
layine his case before the public. l
the report of Gen. Pritchard is accept
cd blythe War Department, as we hav'
no doubt it will be, it will form the ba

The Siamese Twins Again.

Grateful for the past favors Mt your
hands, we beg again to trespass upon
your kindness and liberality. Our
names are not entirely unknown to the
American public. In former years we
were received everywhere with filatter-
ing and substantial compliments, and
after several most successful tours
through the United States, we retired
to the privacy Of our country homes,
where we had hoped to spend the re-
mainder of our days in quiet enjoy
ment of domestic felicity, blessed as
we then were with ample fortunes for
ourselves and families. But time has
wrought sad change. The ravages
of civil war have swept away our tor
tunes, and we are again forced to ap-
pear in public. Remembering, as we
do, with the profoundest gratitude, the
hberality of our adopted country, VIC
have arranged to appear on pubic eI'
hibition in the Northern cities, oom
mencing early in August next, accom-
panied by several of our children, and
we hope to meet the thousands OF ouI
old friends of lang syne. :,
With sincere regard, we subscribe
ourselves your obcdient servants,
CuASG and ENG,
Siamese twins.

Mrs. Surratt.

Mrs. Surratt, who was most justly ,
hung as one of the conspirators VINO
murdered the President, was Catho-
lie. So were Harold and O'Laughlin. =
Now, after the affair is oil over, ,thep
Catholic priest who attended Mrs. Sur,
ratt says she was innocent II is said
that Payne said she was innocent. Her
friends and the Catholic secessionlsts'
about Washington are trying hard to-
stir up q feeling on her account, PEI
cause she was woman and 2 Cathoiics
and was hung. i; .,;,i...e.,s etf.-..
Now the testimony is clear as day
light. All the meetings OF the con-
spirators were held at Mrs.. Surratts
house. Her own son was q prominent
conspirator. She herself ordered the
guns to be ready at the tavern where
they were to be called for. She her.
self arranged for Booths escape, and
arranged two days before the deed was
done. Payne, alter the murder, went
to her house for shelter, and inquired
for her, with o pick ON his shoulder.
and was captured in the very a!ctoTof
taking shelter her. The testimony
against her was damning; and If her
confessors; Father Wiget and Father
w alters, say she was innocent, then
Father .Wiget and Father Walters
deliberately lie. They lie if they say
| thew think she was innocent; for her
confessors know she was guilty-know
it as her spiritual confessors, and know
it from being themselves secessionista
AMI traitors, and hence in full afnmty
with the traitors in their fiocks;
