house Of DIR. Nudge, near Port Tobacco.
where his fractured leg was set, he be-

were TO conduct them upon route which
a careful consultation of the map of Vir-

to be taken by Booth.
They proceeded down the river to
Belle Plain in the steamer Ides, and
thence disembarking, rode across to a
point opposite Port Royal on the Rap

STARTLING.
President johnson has issued procla-
nation which must startle the whole CONT
nent. He claims to have evidence that the
assassination of Mr.. Lincoln and the at.
tempted assassination of Mr.. Seward, were
plotted between Jefferson Davis, President
Of the Southern Confederacy, and Clement
U. Clay, Jacob Thompson, George N. San
ders, Beverly Tucker, and William @.
Cleary, now or recently Confederate reiu-
gees in Canada, and offers large rewards for
the apprehension Of those persons within
the territory of the United States. This
list includes the most active and notorious
Confederate agents in Cansda-the men
who plotted aud authorized the st. Adams
raid, and who are more than suspected of
completely in other plots Of similar char
acter Dishonorable as been their conduct
while enjoying an asylum in this country,
and devoid of personal honor or principle
as some, at least, of them had previously
shown themselves in their public careers
in their own country, it is still difficult to
suppose them all guilty of The fiendish crime
charged upon them by the head Of the
American Government. Yet If the Presi.
dent and Secretary Of War have any pro.
per sense of the responsibility resting upon
them, such proclamation could not issue
except upon very strong evidence. The
people, both of the United States and of
this country, will await with intense ankle.
~ the development of the evidence upon
which the United States Government has
acted. Of the six persons for whom the
rewards are offered, the principal one, at
eli events, is pretty certainly within the
territory Of the Union. The latest report
respecting him is that, on the 2Sth ultimo,
he Was at Yorkville, s. G., with General
Stonemsn's cavalry in close pursuit Clay
The who resided at St. Cathsrines for
time, and who gave Young his instruc.
tons was, we believe at last accounts re
ported to be in Richmond, while his col
league Thompson was said to have started
for Europe. George N. Sanders, the gen.
tlema1 who boosted to Mr.. Sala that the
Confederates would commit atrocities which
would make European c vilization shudder,
was very recently in Montreal sending a
Characteristic letter to New York paper.
Mr.. Beverly Tucker was in the same city
as lately o. the 25th ult., when he address,
ed letter to the New York Tribune in re.
ply to some remarks of correspondent of
that paper. Mr.. Tucker protested that
his business in Canada was so innocent
that Mr.. Lincoln and Mr.. Seward were al.
lowed to know what it was, and satisfied
about it. The last of the six, Mr.. w. 9.
Cleary, said to have been clerk to Mr.. Clay,
was indicted here short time ago along
with Clay and Thompson. for violation of
our neutrality laws. A few days since he
surrendered himself to the authorities, and
bail was accepted for his appearance when
rcvuired. Clay, Cleary and Sanders are,
therefore, probably in this country at the
present time.- Toronto Globe.

they are, we present them to the reader,
remarking that well. balanced minds have
higher standards by which to regulate and
govern.thc actions than anything herein
laid down. Our comments are inclosed in
brackets.
