NEw YoRK, May 5.-The Tlibune' 5
Washington special has the following:
The President has been strongly urged
By prominent gentlemen here to subject
to arrest and trial such men. as Brick
Pomroy, of the La Crosse, Wis, Demo
craf, and the editor of the Chicago
Times, who, during the past year, have
pnblicly advised and inciled the asssssi-
nation Of President Lincoln. The sub
ject is receiving serious consideration.
The 7Snes' Richmond correspondent
says:
The notorious chief of the rebel de-
tective squad, Sam McCubbin, has sur
rendered himself McCubbin left Rich.
mond on Sunday, April I'd, in charge Of
the treasure which the rebel Secretary
Trenholm had reserved for any emergen-
cy that might arise. He left JEFF. Davis,
Trenholm and Benjamin, with Extra
Billy Smith, and host of other leading
Confederstes, at Greensboro. Three
days after, and during that time, they
ate, slept and drank on the cars. The
people refused to allow them to enter
their dwellings for fear they would be
accused OF harboring rebels.
Trenholm was taken very sick at
Greensboro, and visited the houses of
several leading men there, who asked
him to exchange Gold.for Confederate
script
The Secretary refused on the plea that
North Carolina had not furnished any
Of il; that it belonged to the State Of
Virginia, aoo
Before they left for the South they
distributed considerable quantity Of
Gold among the party as precautions

RecOlleclIOns of Preslden. Lincoln.


A correspondent of the Boston jour-
nal gives an account of conversation
with the late President, from which il
appears that he had presentiment that
he should not survive the close of the
war. The writer says:
He may not have looked for it from
the hand of an assassin, but he felt sure
that his life would end with the war long
ago He told me that she was certain
he should not outlast the rebellion" 1t
was in last July. As you will remember,
there was dissension then among the Re-
publican leaders. Many of his best
friends had deserted him, and we're talk
ing Of an opposition convention to nom
mate another candidate; and universal
gloom was among the people. The North
was tired of the war, and supposed an
honorable peace attainable. Mr.. Lin
coin knew it was not--that any peace at
that time would be only disunion. Speak
ing of it be said; 81 have faith in the
people; they viii not consent to dis
union. The danger is, they are misled.
Let them know the truth and the count
ry is safe" He looked haggard and
careworn, and further on in the inter
view / remarked on his appearance,
saying: "You are wearing yourself ont
with hard work" cant work less" A."
he answered; "but il isn't that-work
never troubled me. Things look badly
and | can't avoid anxiety. Personally,
| care nothing about reelection; but
il our divisions defeat us, fear for the
country" When suggested that right
must eventually triumph-that | had
never despaired of the result, he said:
" Neither have I, but l may not live to
see it, | feel presentimeni that shall
not outlast the rebellion. When il is
over, my work viii be done"

New YoRK, May 6.-The Herald s
Richmond special shows the terrible
state of impoverishment in which the
people of Virginia are now found to be,
and 90 which they have been reduced By
the drafts OF the rebel military impress
ment establishment of all their resources
of every kind. Thousands Of the iuhab-
itants Of Richmond, Petersburg and sur
rounding country are preserved from
starvation only by supplies Of food which
the U. s. Commissary Department furn-
ish them.
Strong desires are expressed for the
removal by the Government of all restric-
tons on trade not contraband Of war,
so that facilities may be afforded for
resuscitation Of industry both in towns
and rural districts. At present the
farmers are generally without the imple.
ments or seeds necessary to do their
planting, and unless they can be speed
lily forwarded, there will be no crops
forthcoming in the State in the Summer.
1t is understood that the Army Of the
James, commanded by Gen Ord, and
consisting of the oath and 25th corps,
will remain in Virginia for the present.
1t is said that the 25th corps, consist
ing Of colored troops, will go into camp
at City Point ~
A portion of the Army Of the Poto-
mac was expected to pass through Rich
mond Tuesday or yesterday, on their say
to Washington.
The principal citizens and local Off
GERS of Richmond are rapidly coming
forward TO the Provost Marshars Office,
and taking the oath of allegiance to the

subscribed to it, are Mayor Mayo, Judge

A large number of those whom he
saw every day, came with appeals to his
feeling in reference to relatives and
friends in confinement and under sen.
tence Of death. 1t was constant mar
vel to me that, with all his other cares
aud duties, he could give so much time,
and be so patient with this multitude. |
have known him sit for hours patiently
listening to details Of domestic troubles
from poor people--much of which, of
course, irreleVant-carefully sitting the
facts and manifesting as much anxiety
to do exactly right, as in the matters of
greatest interest Poorly clad people
were more likely to get a good hearing
than those who came in silks and velvets.
No one was ever turned away from his
door because of poverty. If he erred it
was sure 10 be on the side of mercy. 1t
was one Of his most painful tasks to con-
firm a sentence of death. / recollect
the case of a somewhat noted rebel pris-
oner, who had been condemned to death,
l believe as a spy. A strong applica-
ton had been made to have his sentence
commuted. While this was pending he
attempted to escape from confinement,
and was shot by sentinel on guard.
Although he richly deserved death, Mr..
Lincoln told Judge Holt, in my presence,
"it was a great relief to him that the
man took his fate into his own hands.
If the slightest occasion existed for
showing clemency, he was sure to i'm
prove it.
Judge Bates, in the same conversa-
ton referred to above, said that he had
often told the President that "he was
hardly ft to be entrusted with the par
doning power" "Why," said the Judge,
"he can hardly turn away from the ap-
plication (if it touches his feslings) Of a
man, and the tears of woman are sure
to overcome him"
