A dispatch received by this Depart
ment from Richmond, says: 1t is
stated here, by respectable parties, that
the amount of specie taken South by
JEFF. Davis aud his partisans is very
large, including not only the pluuder
Of the Richmond banks, but previous
accumulations. They hope, it is said,
to make terms with General Sherman
or some other commander, by which
they will be permitted, with their eff.
fects, including this gold plnnder, to 60
TO Mexico or Europe. Johnston's ne
gotiations look to this end.
After the Cabinet meeting, last night,
General Grant started for North Caro- .

SPRING.
BY j. w. DoDG

BY J. W. DODGE.
Smiling Spring at last is coming,
With her birds and blossoms gay;
Buds are swelling, bees are humming,
Grateful Nature halls the day.
Icy frlngos, from the fountain,
Hasten down the dancing stream,
While the snow forsakes the mountain,
Chased by Soils subduing beam.
Now tho merry frogs are peeping
From the waters liquid face;
Croakng-chorus gally keeping,
Winters silent gloom TO chase.
List, the stirring music sounding,
Melody fills all the air
Warbling birds, and brooklets bounding,
To the nodding lilies fair.
BY the meadows, sons aud daughters
Search for how'rets oer the plain;
Pcbbly streams and laughing waters
Wake the skipping trout again.
Downy nests the birds are rearing,
Ants their mounds are building high
Fruit-buds on the boughs appearing,
Warm the heart and cheer the eye.
Balmy airs, we hail your coming,
Butterflies with velvet wing,
Welcome! Fluttering, warbling, humming,
Welcome all the joys Of Spring.

penned by Mr.. Lincoln himself, at the
Capitol, on the night of the Sd OF
March, were approved by President
Andrew johnson, and were reiterated
to govern the action of military CON.
manders.

not we're at the Capitol, a telegram from
General Grant was brought to the. Sec
retary of War, informing him that
General Lee had requested an inter.
view, or conference, to make an ar.
rangement for terms of peace. The
letter of General Lee was published in
letter to Davis and to the rebel Con.

you that he wishes you to have no con
ference with General Lee, unless it b
for the capitulation of Gen. Lees army
or on some minor or purely militar
matter, He instructs me to say tina
you are not to decide, discuss or confe
upon any political questions. Sue
questions the President holds in hi
own hands, and will submit them to n

General Lee and his Photographs.

General Lee and his Photographs.
In view of the fact that General Lee has
had his photograph taken to I" six different
attitudes, all very life-like," the Prov
idenee Journal presumes they represent
the rebel leader in the following attitudes:
First-in a meditative mood-in the
head quarters of Gen. Scott. Here, and
Colonel and chief of staff, he is depicted,
resting on his arm, listening to the plans
of Gen. Scott for the first campaign against
the rebels. Second-a sneaking mood.
In this Lee, having determined to become
traitor to his country, in sneaking away
from Washington. ThIrd-the digni6ed
Misunderstanding his commission from
JEFF. Davis in the rebel army. Fourth
in the chivalric mood-permitting the
Union prisoners to be starved. 1t is said
that he requested that JEFF Davis might be
included in the picture, but his absence
prevented a compliance with the Generals
wishes. Fifth-submission- rebel
leader surendering to Gen. Grant.
Sixth-and last position, Gen. Lees late
entry into Richmond, "cheered by a
crowd, including some officers of the Union
army" as stated in the newspapers, and
at the same time, directing the United
States officers to remove the colored SEN
tinels from his private mansion, as they
were quite offensive.
A seventh should be added, which, if
not ife-like, would be just as well, repre-
senting him in lofty mood-so much SO
that his feet would not touch the ground.
President Johnson will please go on with
his hanging.

senator gherman's Enl0gy Of Abra.
ham LincOln.

Hon. John Sherman delivered an Eu-
logy on President Lincoln, at Mans
fed, Ohio, recently, in which he gives
fair analysis Of his character, and incl
dents of his administration, which were
familiar to Mr.. Sherman as a friend and
counselor Of the deceased. These remi-
niscences are SO interesting, and throw SO
much additional light upon the character
Of one of the best men who ever lived in
any age, that we have copied them in full
from the report of the speech in the Ohio
State Journal. The length Of speech rem
ders It necessary for us to omit all that
part relating to Mr.. Lincoln's early life
and his career in Illinois, with which our
readers are already familiar. Mr.. Sher-
mans speech will be found on the I'd page,
and no one should fail to read it.
The following paragraph in the close Of
his address respecting the duty of loyal
citizens and the Government is worthy of
special regard. Though the war is over
the conflict, Of which it was but con-
tinuation is not ended, unless we are true
to the country and guarded against the
Vaccinations of its enemies:
ave, who survive him, have duties to
perform, which his death makes more i'm
perative. The many atrocities evolved by
the war, and crowned by his assassina-
ton, speak to US trumpet tongued. We
cannot, with just regard for future national
security, close the last stages of this rebel
lion without stamping it with infamy.
The dead bodies of our slaughtered heroes;
the walls of widows. and the cry Of
Orphans, demand that all these sacrifices
shall not be made in vain. The burden OF
debt resting upon the labor of our people
for q generation to come, demands security
against future rebellions. The piteous
CIV OF millions of slaves, who never lost
an opportunity to aid US in our need, de-
mand that we fulfill our promise to them.
Now, mercy is weakness and justice IS
strength. I do not now demand ven
geance over the dead body OF our muir.
dered President, but do demand that all
that he has promised shall be made good
that before amneaty 10 proclaimed, the
rebel Gag and the rebel uniform Shall be
hAaSs Of diaETacs."

COTTON.

We quote the following from an inter-
esting paper on THE Production and
Consumption of Corton'" which was read
before the American Geographical and
Statistical Society by Hon. Frederick A.
Conkling. In estimating the cotton crop
of India and China, he says:
"I,w:ll be shown that the annual produe-
,;or Of cotton in East Indil, exclusive Of the
native States, is about ,, 400, 900, 600 lbs, or
OOl 900 bales Of 100 lbs, each. The guam
ti,y produced in China, cannot be less than
TWICE as great; so that India and China
tnoether, produce no less than Is 900
bales annually. In view Of these figures and
the large extent Of cottsn-producing lands
elsewhere, il is difficult to estimate the pres
emit annual yield Of the world, at less than
80, eOO, 900 bales. The largest amount ever
reached, in any one year, in the United States,
is 5000, $50 bales"
Mr.. ConkGng estimates the present stock
of cotton in the South at four millions Of
bales; which we think will be found to be
a very exaggerated anticipation.
The following eloquent remarks on the
recuperation of the South, after peace, by
that gentleman, are worthy of note:
"Hov then is the industry OF the South to
be built up: answer, BY immigration. No
sooner will the national flag be unfurled in
the South, than millions from both the North
and from Europe, who have Stunned her
slave-trodden fields, as they would the shade
Of the Bohan upaS, will rush TO occupy her
deserted bu, enfranchised lands, and will de-
yelop her resources as they never were deveI-
oped before. Even the blasted wastes Of slav.
erv. revivi6ed by the torch Of liberty, will
again be made to blossom as the rose. The
irss year Of peace, in all human probability,
will witness the accession Of million OF
frsemen to the population Of the South,
bringing with them, al once, the economies,
the improved processes and greater producing
powers of intelligent labor. Before two years
Shall have elapsed. it is safe to predict that
America will resume her former supremacy
in the cotton market Of the world, never more
10 be deprived Of il"
