Summary Of Late News.

Since our last issue affairs in Georgia
have assumed quite different appearance.
Instead Of Johnston ard Breckenridge pro-
posing terms on which they would surren-
der, Grant has been debating terms for
them, which are substantially the same as
accepted by Lee, and having no other alter
native Johnston has been obliged to accept.
The surrender includes all the rebel forces
in ". Carolina, S Carolina and G eorgla, and
includes force Of 27,400 men. Among the
officers surrendered are Beauregard and
Hardee The backbone Of the rebellion
having long since been broken, the head is
now broken, which will certainly end the
strife. Gems Grant and Sherman are at
Washington endeayoring to reduce the mil
itary expenses. The 18th and goth Army
Corps have been ordered north, and will be
shortly mustered out Of service.
1t estimated that the order Of Secretary
Stanton, discharging all in hospitals wlllrc-
lease over 10000 men from the service
Secretary Seward has 50 far recovered as
to DC able to ride out for short time. May
his lif, be spared for future usefulness.
There is good prospect that the specie
stolen by jeff. Davis viii be intercepted and
taken. There are also strong hopes oftaking
the arch rebel himself before he gets out of
the country.
Later news from Mexico states that Cor
tinas has entered Matamoras.
Admiral Porter has been relieved Of the
command Of the North Atlantic squadron,
Commodore Rudford succeeding him.
Gen. Sherman onreceiying the disapprov-
al by the Government Of his negotiations
with Johnston, behaved in manner that
will 60 far to restore him in the confidence
and affections Of the people. They may
doubt his diplomatic skill, bnt they will
recognize and appreciate the true soldierly
spirit and magnanimity in which he set
about carrying out the instructions of his
superior officer He is great soldier and
an earnest patriot
j. Wilkes Booth, the murderer, has paid
the penalty of his crime The bullet Of the
avenger reached him while he was endeav-
oring to escape, but his companion in guilt
was arrested. An account of which will
be found elsewhere in this issue.
Harold the accomplice of Booth, has
made lengthy confession.

and bis eyes full of terror He is now
as mean and cringing in his behavior as,
in power be was insolent and cruel.-
When turnkey, be shot men dead, with
a revolver, who came to the windows for
air and light, kicked and knocked down
others, and took delight in augmenting
the untold miseries of the poor prisoners
under bis charge He has heard, in his
loathsome cell, that the soldiers have de-
creed his death, so soon as they are fully
assured of his identity, and his plead
ings for mercy are presented to al who
come near him; but he pleads to hearts
of stone.

SIBERIAN PLAGuE-For some time
past the people of Russia have been suf-
fering from a terribly loathsome and ia
tai disease supposed to have originated
IN Siberia, and is called the Siberian
Plague. 1t has broke ont in St. Peters
burg, and is carrying eff thousands upon
thousands Of the people. 1t takes the
form of a contagious fever, and soon after
the attack hideous sores make their APP
pearanee On the surface Of the body =
Many die in from IS to so hours, but
the usual course is 3 to 10 days, It is
said that hardly one in thousand of
those attacked ever recover. Great ex-
element exists in Europe, fearing its
gradual spread the same as Asiatc Chol-
era, and in fact the most eminent CONT
mental physicians believe it VIII take a
westward course the same as the cholera
If such should be the result we may ex-
peot it to reach this country in year or
two. Eminent physicians have been
sent to Russia by the Austrian and Prus-
sian governments to assist in combating
she terrible scourge.

Chattanooga. April 10th. 1865.


Dear Brother 1t is beautiful day
the sun shines forth in all its southern
greatness; the valleys are bedecked with
the beautiful garb of spring, and the air is
filled with the fragrance of flowers. Every
thing without tells rs of the beauty of the
world we live in, and the goodness of our
all-wise Creator.
But, alas the wickedness Of man renders
us fit to appreciate it but very poorly, and
it is with heavy heart that now attempt
to write to you; for we, to-day, mourn the
loss Of the n0blest man Of Amsrica ne who
commanded the respect Of friend and foe
alike by his goodness Of heart.
Yes, our beloved President, faithful Lin
coin has fallen by the hand of a traitorous
assassin. am not alone in this bereave-
ment. The loyal millions are, to-day,
mourning as for near aud dear relative;
for such Abraham Lincoln seemed to us all
1t fell upon us like thunder-clap in the
midst Of q sunshiny day; il the midst of
rejoicing over the fast dissolving power Of
the rebellion, we were called to mourn the
loss Of the great master mind that conduct
ed US through the stormy seas Of war, for
four long years. Friday, the cannons
doomed welcome salute to the old flag,
that the brave Anderson was to reinstate
on the flag staff at Fort Sumpter, and We
supposed our President was there to take
part in the ceremonies. Yesterday at 3
P. NJ. we took our horses out TO Craze never
were soldiers more jubilant, for well we
thought the end was near. But, 10! from
the front of Mission Ridge we could see the
stars and stripes descend to half mast over
Fort Wood, and the news came as bv magic
of the assassination of President Lincoln
a gloom was thrown upon all, and heavily
We returned 10 camp. only hoping against
reason that ii might not be so but in camp
we found it printed, with E. NJ Stanton's

of the sad moving to and fro of those who
many may think incapable of feeling, and

stock VII ch is now quoted at 100000 per
foot, and that too in gold coin, not a de-
preciated 80 per cent. currency What
think you Of lodes assaying $3.50, $3.50,
$32l5 and $47l8,50 per ton Of rock? Is
it not almost incredible? know of four
claims in the Montgomery district which
have assayed at those figures. You will
remember that rock will not yield as much
when worked as when assayed. Those ac-
quainted with the business say one half,
bat [ will put it at one fourth, and in either
of the lodes which assay to the above figure
a foot would have been quite'a snug fortune
before the days of shoddy and petroleum.
Copper mines are being worked success
fully, making heavy returns, within a few
miles of here, and many lodes which have
the appearance of being equally as rich, are
heavily prospected
| There are many gold bearing quartz
veins in this vicinity, and every one within
my knowledge, which is being worked is
paying well.
Petroleum has been discovered in the
! Coast Range of mountains some sixty miles
southwest of here. As it is new thing
with US, capitalists here are not disposed to
invest in it, and company is being organ
lied in New York city to prospect and test
it and erect machinery if it will pay.
have never visited those wells and know
nothing Of them but what | gather from
report. They have not yet been efficiently
prospected to pronounce upon, but are be-
lieved to be rich.
The Mariposa Mines which are about thir-
ty-fve miles east Of this place, and Of
which we heard so much in the States, have
suspended operations on account of fail
ure of the Company to meet some heavy
mortgages, or as a speculative scheme Of
some Of the principle owners. Those
mines are immensely rich and inexhaust-
ible, and if properly managed-would give
large dividends to the stock owners.
| The agricultural resources of this country
[ have already mentioned. In the culture
Of the grape and the manufacture of wine,
California is unequalled- ever viii be
by any country of either America. Tie
wines consumed and exported from here
every year amounts to millions Of dollars,
and will venture to say, more vines are
being planted this season than all that have
heretofore been planted in the state The
culture of the grape is attracting much at
tention and in a few years will combine a
large share Of the wealth Of our State. The
high price Of tobacco induced many to try
its culture last season, and in almost every
instance it has proved success. The
quality is not. so good as that Of Virginia,
but is superior to what We used to call Mis-
souri, Tobacco. Thousands Of acres will
be planted this season. One farmer in
this County raised $4,000 worth dollars last
season on five acres, and intends planting
forty acres this season.
But have written you at much greater
length than I Grst intended and will close.
| will write you again when have leisure.
With many kind regards I subscribe
myself,
Very truly your friend,

BULLY FOR GEoRGE.-Geo. Blessing
OF Wolfville, Nd, writes to his friend
lshmael Day, the brave old Marylander,
who became famous during Lees inva-
sion of Maryland and Pennsylvania, as
follows:
"Since the 18th of February, I am
going on my seventy-second year. My
health is delicate. Last year, the 9th
day of July was the most eventful peri
cd in my life's history. On that day,
under the providence of God, I defeat
ed, according to their own report, in a
barnyard fight, forty rebel horse thieves
They fed, leaving their dead and woun-
ded in my hands They had plundered
to their hearts content, and they had
put me off for last, as they said on that
morning in Bealsville, that they would
60 up and see if that old fellow would
fight thought that there was more
and better pluck in our Marylanders, but
| was mistaken, and [ was determined
at all hazards, and cost what it mi ght,
that the rebels should have it to say that
they found one man that would fight.
And [ thank God that he has left me to
testify that the battle is not always to
the strong, Zee, and the records of this
wicked rebellion will hardly relate sim
liar triumph. | was glad when I heard
that there was another man in Baltimore
county that dared to face the invading
foe, and was successful"

tered through clenched teeth, against the
vile perpetrators, and vengeance declared.
All earnestly prayed that the black flag Of
srternainafion might Immediately be raised
against these common enemies Of God and
Dl.rn; never before did | feel in favor of
such things. but row | would sincerely
cast my voice in favor Of it and abide by
the consequences.
Chattanooga Is draped in mourning
throughout; flags at half mast, and since
5, A. N. "the 100 pound parrots on Cam
eron Hill are firing half hour guns, as a
tribute to the dead.
We have but little Of the details, the
road is out of repair, SO all we receive
comes by telegraph. Secretary Seward
is in precarious condition. I tremble
lest we lose him also, ,soao, when he is most
needed, for he is truly great and good
statesman and diplomatist.
And now we turn eagerly to Andrew
johnson. That fatal shot has placed the
fate Of this great nation in his hands. l.
he equal to the responsibility? I trust to
God that He may guide him Alright I be-
lieve him true to the core man of nerve
and energy, but he lacks moral stability
and upright conservative motives. He is
a man of strong likes and dislikes, has bit
ter political enemies on our side, and fear
his being in Office will render serious
changes in the official machine that now
runs so smoothly; but | trust that all yet
work for the best. One thing we can rely
upon, that is, we have men in the field who
are true and tried, holding the reins Of or
gallant armies, ready 10 strike thick and
heavy blows, which will Get tainly soon end
the armed power.

What it takes to make a good
newspaper. The San Juan Mcrcary,
an excellent paper, is parent to the fol-
lowing truthful paragraph:
ave receive at this Office - daily
newspapers, and from so to 80 week
lies, all Of which we make il a point to
read. From this mass and labyrinth
OF matter we carefully select such arti-
Giles, items, gems and it-bits as comprise
the miscellany Of our columns. Each
editor acts upon this principle; hence,
each individual paper is an epitomc of
the whole and in proportion to the ex-
tent Of the editors judgment contains
the quintesscnce Of the whole. Il re-
quires more talent to make good solec-
tons than it does to write a good leader;
hence, VIC imagine that the popularity
OF paper depends to great extent on
its selections. That editor is fool
who imagines he can write better on all
subjects than any of his contemporaries.
We all have our specialities-some Pc
culiar gift in which we may excel many
others. 1t is the art of combining these
gifts, and culling their choicest gems,
that makes the readable, eagerly sought
for, splendid journal" Such is our idea
of what a good paper should be but
bless us. how few Of as ell the bill"
