THE NEWS.


The official announe sment of the sur
render by Gen. Dick Taylor of all the
forces under his command was received
a few days since. This disposes Of al
the oreanized rebel forces east of the
Mississippi river-and the few scattered
bands of Guerrillas having been pro-
claimed outlaws, and as such to be dealt
with, they also viii soon disappear.
AT last advices from Texas Kirby
Smith had not yet surrendered his for
ces, but when he learns Of what has trans
PRED east of the Mississippi, he viii not
be long IN following suit, when such a
thing as a Confederate soldier will be no
longer known.
The armies of both Grant and Sher-
man are marching hemeward, and in a
few days will arrive at Washington,
where, after a grand review and partial
reorganization, the greater portion of the
men will be paid off and mustered out
A sufficient number of troops are left at
various prominent points in the insur-
gent States to preserve order and garrison
the forts, and a cavalry force under Sher-
idan viii be similarly distributed.
The cessation of hostilities has caused
such a diminution Of business in the va
rious branches of the military service
that large numbers of clerks and other
employees are being daily discharged,
thus greatly reducing the expenditures.
AtIast adEices JEFF. Davis and his fell
low fugitives had not been captured
though u cavalry were so disposed that
their escape was regarded as almost i'm
possible.
The news of the assassination of Pres
ident Lincoln produced a profound zen
sation throughout Europe; and the ex-
pressions of coincidence were everywhere
spontaneous and manifestly sincere.
The rush after the new 7-30 Govern
ment Bonds continues undated. On
Tuesday the subscriptions amounted to
the enormous sum of SIS, 165. 300, on
Wednesday to ST., no. O0-making an
aggregate of s32, $40, 400 in two days,
Gold reached the low figures of 20 per
cent. premium in New York on Wednes-
day.

A Swede named Swan johnson, re-
siding in Nicollet county, Mimi, under
the belief that he was ordered to do sc
by the spirits, under pain of being KEEP
from heaven. took his son. nine years Of
age, into a field and chopped his head of
with an ak. The boy made no resistance
The spirits had assured johnson that il
he cut the head off be could put it or
again and bring him to life. This, how
ever, he found he could not do. He has
been arrested.
When the news of Lees surrender was
received in Murfreesboro, Tenn, the in
diyidual who tore down the Stars and
Stripes and hoisted the rebel flag in that
town, was persuaded by the Provost
Marshal to raise the old flag on the Court
House dome, and afterwards to remain
on the dome for half an hour, that the
public might view this act of %retributive
justice. The whole town turned out to
enjoy the spectacle.
Miss Anna Dickinson, who had been
extensively advertised to appear at va
rious places in the country, has failed in
all her engagements since the President 5
death. It is suggested by a contemporary
that the knowledge of her rather severe
criticisms upon Mr.. Lincoln induce her
to think that she would not be welcomed
in any place at present.
New York, May 9.-The Herald's
special says the evidence in possession of
the Government of the completely of JEFF.
Davis and his principal associates, is
such that no foreign Government will
hesitate a moment in giving him up
President Johnson's proclamation for
their arrests has been sent throughout
the south over rebel telegraph lines.
General Grant and family arrived in
Philadelphia on Wednesday afternoon,
and at once took possession of the house
provided for them by the people of that
city. A large circle of friends and ac-
quaintances visited them in the after
noon, and a large crowd gathered around
the doors.
Four men We're killed at New Orleans
on the day that the news of the a~ssassi-
nation of President Lincoln was received,
for rejoicing. At Baton Rouge there
over the news. There was a large funer-
al procession at Baton Rouge on the 10Th.
The Herald's Washington special says:
Lieut.. M. B. Ruggles, of Mosby's guer-
rillas, and Lieut.. A. r. cambridge, of
of the rebel army, and DR.. Stewart, to
whose house Booth wanted to be taken,
have been arrested on the ground of hav-
ing information concerning the a~ssassi-
nation.
Orders have been given to reduce the
daily product of the Springfield Armory
to $50 guns, thus making necessary the
discharge of about 900 more men. This
will leave between 900 and 1000, or only
one-third the number employed when the
armory was the busiest, and turning out
nearly or quite 1000 guns per day.
All the prominent citizens of Peters
burg, Va, have taken the oath of allie
and declare themselves much hap
pier under the new arrangement than
they have been any time during the past
years.
When Tennessee seeded, President
johnson took his leave of his "KentOn !,
and in taking up a little hand
trunk, said to Major Hunt, Major, all
my earthly possessions are in that trunk"

WHERE ARE YOUR GIBEs Now ?-The
men who have always asserted with oaths
of all dimensions that the South could
never be whipped" must feel queer
They told the people if Lincoln was re-
elected, the war would last four years
longerl They prophesied that green
backs would depreciate until they would
be bought by the pound. They asserted
that the seccess of the Union party would
send gold up to $500! How is it? Look
at it:
Gold is 81 31I
Greenbacks are taken for anything a
man has to sell, and are somewhat eager
ly sought after.
Does not the great rebellion look very
much like a whip at this time? Where
is their capital? Where is Lee and his
army ? tell US where, is Jefferson Davis
and has cabinet? Are southern soldiers
better than northern? Are greenbacks
of any value? Do you still belive that
the Presidential election of last fall was
the last? How soon will there be anoth-
er draft-and what will you take for your
revolvers?

TVe polSoEIgE az ANDREW JoHVseN.

There can be but little doubt left
in the minds of those who have attentive
" Derused the details of the plot to as
sassinate tho leaders of the Government,
that Andrew johnson, who has endured
SO much undeserved obloquy for his sin
gular alteration on the 4th of March,
was on that occasion under the influence,
not of s~pirituous liquors, nor of a mere
disturbing drug, intended only to dis
foure him. but of a deadly poison, fur
lively insinuated in his drink with a view
to take his life. It is in proof that the
ass~assinations were to have been perpe-
trated on the 4th of March, and that
Booth. chief assassin, had posted himself
in a position where Mr. Lincoln must
mass closely By. and it was doubtless ex-
peeted that about the time the President
would have persisted by the pistol, the
new Vice President would have expired
in the Capitol from the effects of the pc
ton he had taken. Probably this view
of the matter has V struck the mind
of Mr.. johnson and 1t Is not to be sup
posed that under the mystery of that
strange occurrence which must have puz-
zled him more han anybody else, he
would care to allude to the affair with
any attempts at explanation that might
have been misunderstood. The disclo-
sure of the instructions distributed
among the assassins, that they were at
liberty to use the blade, the pistol, or the
bowl, but they must bear in mind that
the latter had once failed, seems to be
conclusive upon this point, and will
doubtless suggest some important recol-
l~eetions to the Presidents mind. His
powerful nature triumphed over the in
fernal draught, and thus, in addition to
an invaluable life being saved to the ma
ton, we are gratifed in the conviction,
that one who has always been a sober, self
respecting statesman, IS now providen-
tally relieved from even a passing cloud
on his career Wilkes' Spirit.

The astonishing advance in public sen.
timent is forcibly illustrated by the unan.
imous confirmation by both branches O.
the Connecticut Legislature of the Con.
stitutional amendment abolishing slavery
A few months ago a unanimous vote fol
the amendment could not have been Sc.
curedin any State Legislature, much less
that of Connecticut, which of all the
New England States has evinced the most
formidable and determined opposition to
the Administration and its war policy
There is no longer room for doubt that
the amendment will receive the two thirds
vote, necessary to give it validity. It is
moi. unlikely that most of the States that
have been in rebellion will signalize their
return to loyalty by eleeting Legislatures
that will ratify the amendment. Of all
the free States New Jersey alone will en-
joy.athe unenviable notoriety of having
rejected it, and the act will be a standing
reproaoh against her as long as the Listo-
ry of the rebellion survives.

Persons assisting in organizing guer-
rilla bands and conducting titles
against the United States will be tried by
a military commission, and be subject to
death. Military officers are to preserve
order and reconcile differences between
freedmen and theirl late masters. Freedmen

TINE LAST Of RTH

The final obsequies of the late Presi-
dent Lincoln took place on Thursday the
4th inst. at Springfield, Illinois. With
what reverent mournfuIness and deep feel
ings of sorrow these last sad rites were
performed by those among whom he had
so long resided, can readily be understood
and appreciated. The telegraphie ac-
counts show how impressive must have
been the scene there in receiving and do
ing honor to the remains and the memory
of the lamented murdered President
Immense m~ultitudes had gathered by the
way and at Springfield, for the purpose,
from the adjacent country and different
parts of the State, anddeep solemnity pre-
vailed, the emblems Of mourning being
elaborate on every side.
The remains lay in state in the Capitol
from the time of their arrival on Wednes-
day, viewed, of course, by manythousands,
until their removal Thursday, with i'm
posing ceremonial, under the auspices of
the dignitaries of the State of Illinois, for
final commital TO mother earth.

Union soldiers, imprisoned at Anderson
vile, (Ga.) were on the morning of the
18th ult., transported by the rebels, down
the Florida Central Railroad to within
make their way into the Union lines,
which several hundred reached before
night. All presented a pitiful appear
ance, and many barely able to walk; but
their joy was great on finding themselves
onee more under the protection Of the
old flag.

THE OHIO MONUMENT FUND.
An Appeal to the People of Ohio.


The State of Ohio honored Abraham
Lincoln as Chief Magistrate, and loved
him as a man: that honor and that love
were deserving of a permanent record
had he been permitted to reap with us
the full f~ruition of his labors Of the past
four years they are infinitely more so
now that he has been struck down In his
! career OF usefulness by the ruthless HAND
of the assassin ,-struck down as the rep
resentatiYe of civil liberty and free gov
eminent. Such a record It IS proposed
in enduring marble, fashioned by the
hand of Art, and erected in the beautiful
Capital of your proud Commonwealth; and
which shall speak to every beholder our
appreciation of his lofty virtues and his
unexampled public services, which shall
to all future time incite an emulation of
those virtues and those services, and
which shall speak to each generation the
intelligent appreciation by a free people
of unselfsh ambition and unselhsh pat
riotism.
Soldiers of the Union armies When
Abraham Lincoln was struck down 0y
the assassin the stroke was aimed at you;
the blow aimed at his life was directed at
the same time at the life of the nation,
for the preservation of which you have
barred your breasts TO the storms Of war
during the four weary years of his
Administration. He has fallen in the
hour of your triumph, a martyr t. the
principles for which you have fought
Shall not Ohio. preeminent in the field
and in the Cabinet, be first to give dura-
BILE expression to the gratitude which
not only our State, but the nation and
the friends of Liberty everywhere, cher
ishes for the memory of the illustrious
Son of the West? We know full we'll
what your response will be.
Nor are the bravest men of Ohio, who
have fallen IN defense of the nation, to
be forgotten. It has been decided to
erect to their memory in the Capitol
grounds. and the memorial to their fallen
Commander-in-Chief at the same time.
1t must be shown that their services, and
sacrifices so brayelyand gloriously made,
are fondly and proudly cherished by
those who survive and those who come
after them.
People of Ohio, we ask for these pur-
poses your generous contributions.

A new idea connected with the assas-
sination of the Presidentis preached by
the Washington correspondent of the
Pittsburg Commercial, who says:
We hear it stated that, on the night of
the assassination, there were in the the
atre over one hundred persons who had
direct or indirect knowledge of what was
to happen. Many of those persons had
a victim selected, but their part of the
murder failed, from the fact that the
person selected to turn off the gas at the
or other. failed to perform his part. If
the gas had been turned off, Booth would
have escaped recognition. Had Grant
been there, he would have fallen an easy
victim. Booth did not expect the failure
of the person to turn off the gas; and af-
ter the deed was done, had to make the
most of it.

Bowles, Milligan and Horsey, the lead
ers of the Indiana conspiracy, who were
convicted last fall, and have since been in
confinement, are ordered to be hung al
Indianapolis on Friday the 18th inst
The conspiracy, of which they were the
master spirits, it will be remembered con
templated an armed uprising against the
government in the North, for which large
quantities of arms were imported, the
funds to purchase them being furnished
by the rebel emissaries in Canada, who
also engineered the Chicago conspiracy
and aided in ~concocting that which result
ed in the assassination of the President.
The programme of the Indiana conspira-
tors also embraced the murder of govern
ment officers and the destruction of gov
eminent property by the torch of the
incendiary. In short, what Booth accom-
plished was a part of the work oontem-
plated by them. tt is said the Govern
ment has demanded of the Canadian
authorities the surrender of Dodd, another
of the leaders, who made his escape while
his trial was progressing.
