A MEETING OF SOUTHERN Men,
A singular meeting, which we trust will
not be so singular long, was held in
Memphis, Tenn, few days ago, CON
posed of Southern men, lately identified
with the rebel cause, now anxious for the
complete restoration Of the Union. The
President was Judge Swayne, who took
leading secession stand in 1861. In
Speaking OF the result Of war, he said
"The lesson briefly is, it is Gods will.
He seiteth up one and pulleth down an
other He reigneth in the armies OF
men. And what is this will in de
tail? Answer the question in answering.
what were the issues of the great civil
war? Cor, in legal contemplation in
international law, it is neither an insur-
rection nor a rebellion, but a civil war.
LIST. That this country must be and re-
main one, undivided.
I'd That property in the negro shall
cease. | do not think that more than
these were the objects of war, or will be
insisted upon by the voice o. the country.
Are you prepared to accept these as
the issues decided by war !? Why not ?
Can you change them? Acceptable OF
not, they must be accepted. They are
the arbitrament of war, whose DEGREES are
as stern aud unrelenting as its voice."
He concluded his speech as follows:
,,1 Lat "a Ioya onain tho thinors lao
Washington loved, and forward, as a
people to grander and loftier destiny,
purified in the very fires that have seem
ed as if they would consume US. Away
with longer strife, with further contention /;
WOO the spirit of Cancellation, and not Of
vengeance, and viDdictiveness; be
brothers again, and, to all this, invoke the
aid of the Prince Of Peace, aud lean
upon the arm that encircles men and ma
tons.
He was followed by Col. Grace of
Arkansas, who began as follows:
"Fellow. Citizens: am the man who
drew up the ordinance of secession in the
Legislature of Arkansas | have been in
the field fighting against the Union for
nearly four years, but now am con-
quered and a whipped man. (Laughter.)
AS was gallant in going out to fight, ]
now propose to be gallant atsurrendering
and submitting to the arms of the gov
eminent. Let US have respect for the
government that we cannot whip. have
no contempt for Federal authority now,
it | ever had"
Resolutions were adopted declaring il
to be the duty and interest of Southern
men to return to their allegiance, and that
the United States ought to be as mag
unanimous TO forgive as she is powerful
TO punish.

MAY DAY IN WEsTFIELD.-It MAJ
be interesting to our readers to know
how May day occurred in Westfield thi'
year. The children of the Sabbath
School seemed disposed to have goot
time, and this of course drew out th'
people generally. A tree loaded will
presents, and table with food and flow.
ers was found in the town hall which was
draped with evergreen. Altogether it
appeared that May day had called in
The food on the table and presents on
the tree were disposed of evidently to the
satisfaction of all. Especially the occu-
pants Of the parsonage who were near
by have occasion TO be sweet tempered
about it, for there came various small
bundles of nice maple sugar to the par.
sonage amounting to nearly so pounds.
This was brought by little hands and
with smiling faces, which made
i all the more agreeable. Also from
S8 to $40 found way for itself into the
hands of the minister's family, and some
dollars worth of books for his library-a
hing very acceptable in these times when
'ook shelves are not apt to grow heavy.
The children seemed to be made doubly
'appy, being blessed by what they gave,
s well as what they received. This

The firing in this skirmish was the first
warning Davis received. The captors
report that he hastily put on ole Of his
wife's dresses and started TO the woods,
closely followed by our men, who at first
thought him a woman, but discerning
his boots while running suspected his sex
at once. The race was short one, and
the rebel President was soon brought
10 bay. He brandished bowie knife OF
ii giant pattern and showed signs of bat
tie, but yielded promptly to the persua-
sion of the Captains revolver without
compelling the men TO fire. He ex-
pressed great indignation at the energy
with which he was pursued, saying that
he thought our government was more
magnanimous than to hunt down women
and children. Mrs. Davis remarked TO
Col. Harden, after the excitement was
over, that "the men had better not pro-
woke the President, as be might hurt

ing dignity and resignation. The par

PASSAGE OF THE ARMY OF THE PO-
ToMAo THROUGH RIoHMoND.-T h e
Richmond Wig, in chronicling the pas
sage of the Second and Fifth Corps of
the Army of the Potomac through that
city, en- rout for Washington, says the
sight was a grand one. The men were
in fine condition and were taken by a
route that would give them a good view
of The city which they bad so long fought
to capture. The march past the Libby
Prison was marked alternately by cheers
and groans from those who, from time to
time, in the progress of the war, were so
unfortunate as to be involuntary inmates
of its inhospitable walls. The programs
me of route took the line past Gen. Lees
residence, and those of the soldiers who
were aware of the probable proximity
Of The chief of the late rebel forces,
cheered Justify. 1t is said Gen. Lee
stood at the closed blinds of one of the
and viewed the pageant for
4 few minutes.

A PLEA FOR THE AssAssIN.-rhe
Toronto Leader of a recent date thu.
speaks of the killing of Booth, the muir

Itself.
"rhe shooting of Booth was a cold
blooded murder-nothing more or less
Granted that he was criminal of the
deepest dye-tbat was no reason why he
should have been shot down the way he
was. He was foolish man, but brave
one. He died like one who loved his
country dearly, according to his idea oil
what noble death was. 1t is very cyl

AN EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT OF THE

AN EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT OF TIL
EVACUATION OF RIcHMoND.-T b
Richmond correspondent of the Londol
Times, who has SO long favored the worl
with such sanguine accounts of the pro-
gress and prospects of the Southern Con
federacy, escaped northward on the fal
of the rebel capitol. He gives the fol-
lowing lively sketch Of some of the Incl
dents thereof:
ale (Gen. Leg telegraphed at once
to Richmond, desiring that everything
necessary for its instant evacuation shoult
be done, and announcing that the enemy
would probably enter and take possession
the following morning at daybreak. Up
on the arrival of Gen. Lees dispatch il
Richmond, President Davis was occupy.
ing his accustomed seat during morning
service in the Church of ST. PauPs, il
which church, served by the clergy
the Prince of Wales attended Divine
service upon the occasion of his visit tc
Richmond, and the President was sur
rounded by congregation, of which the
fairer portion was, as usual, arrayed with
an elegance which has long been an I'M
failing source of wonder to those who re-
feet upon Richmond's four years of block
ade. Suddenly the sexton, approaching
President Davis, handed TO him a paper,
which was slowly perused. Rising from
his seat with singular gravity and DELHI
Grafton, Mr.. Davis left the church, and
Immediately afterwards several promi-
nent citizens were by the same sexton
summoned to follow him. 1t will be be-
lieved that the excitement among those
who remained was at its highest, but it
was remarked by sly observers that the
excellent clergyman did not omit TO make
the usual collection-possibly with the
design of impressing upon his congrega-
ton that nothing unusual had happened,
possibly TO give credit TO a currency
from which all felt that every semblance
of value was passing away.
The congregation was not slow to dis
perse, and quickly from mouth to mouth
few the sad tdings that in few hours
long and gallant resistance
would be over. The scene that followed
'aflles description. During the long
Ifternoon and throughout the feverisb
light, on horseback, in every description
# car, carriage and vehicle, in every
urried train that left the city, on canal
argos, skih's, and boats, the exodus of Of
cials and prominent citizens was inter>
lifted. About eight in the evening,
resident Davis, accompanied by all the
lembers Of bis Cabinet, except General
breckenridge, started by an express train
'r Danville, with view TO await further
dings there, and thence to proceed and
,rm, If possible, nucleus Of a FRESH 10"
rnment al Charlotte, IN North Carolina.
Jp to the hour of their departure from
richmond can testify that Mr.. Davis
nd the three most prominent members
f his Cabinet went undauntingly forth
o meet the future, not without hope that
General Lee would be able to hold to-
ether a substantial remnant of his army,
nd TO effect junction with Gen. John
ton. That hope your readers are aware,
as been disappointed"

ed them on the Sd of April last, when
they weighed 3110 lbs, giviog him
gain of LILO in eleven months. Where
is there another pair that has gained as
much, or of the same age that will weigh
as much? Mr.. Crowell has other cattle
on which be notes nearly as much gain,
but has not weighed them. He also has
a pair of colts, past three this spring, of
the heat Westock, which weighed, April
Sd. 2l50 in harness. They are we'll
broke, and the steers above alluded to
are OK handy. Mr.. Crowell's motto is
