Chief Justice Chase on General
Sherman.

The President of the Sherman Tes-
timonial Committee received "with one
of the largest contributions yet made
to the Sherman Testimonial" the fol-
lowing letter from Chief Justice Chase,
which will be read with interest:
WASHINGTON, April goth, 1865.
Vim. G. Deshler, Treasurcr Sherman
Testimonial:
My DEAR SIR-Enclosed is a con.
tribution tp the Sherman Fund.
/ take this moment for making it, be-
cause just now, many seem disposed to
forget his great deservings, and re-
member only his recent convention
with Johnston.
But that act, however regretted and
disapproved, must not cancel in our
memories, or even obscure his splendid
services.
His patriotism is no more doubtful
than his courage. No mans achieve.
ments have contributed more to the
grand triumph of Union and Freedom
over Rebellion and Slavery. His deeds
are among the choicest treasures OF
our own Ohio-ras well as Of our whole
country. And We, the children Of
Ohio, are bound by the most sacred
obligations, to defend and protect the
good name of every brave and loya
son she has. She has none Drawer OF
more loyal than Sherman.
Yours most truly,
s. p. CHASE.

THE GETTYsBUEe CEMETERY.-This
fine cemetery is progressing rapidly
towards completion, and during the
coming summer will probably be fin
ished. The substantial granate wall,
extending along the west side, is COM
pleted. 1t is of superior finish and
compactness. The heavy iron fence
extending from the granate wall on the
west, to Evergreen Cemetery, on the
South, and the iron railing dividing the
National from the Evergreen Cemete-
ry, are both finished. The latter is con-
structed of gas pipes and metal posts,
and will be lined with shrubbery, The
gateway, also completed, is a beautiful
structure. On each side of it are
three massive iron posts, on which are
perched two American eagles, .majest-
ically looking down on those who pass
the portale to this sacred spot. The
principal avenue is undergoing mac.
adamization, aud the trees and shrub
berry are being planted. About 95
different varieties Of trees have been
selected. The contractors for setting
the headstones have also commenced.

sB" In common with other loyal cit
izens, the Quakers of Philadelphia have
been deeply moved by the assassina-
ton of President Lincoln, who did
everything in his power to respect their
conscientious opposition to war. On
the day of the Presidents funeral in
Washington, the Hicksite Quakers held
meeting, and after the usual hour
spent in worship, the men retired to
their own portion of the house to trans
act the usual business of the Society,
but finding their hearts too full Of the
soIemnity incident to the day, sent a
deputation to the womsD's meeting,
proposing an adjournment, which was
agreed to. A person, not member
of the society, remarked than this was
the highest compliment yet paid to the
memory of Mr.. Lincoln, as never be-
fore, in the two hundred years which
have elasped since the rise of the Qua
kers, did they adjourn meeting for
any extraneous cause.

Cancellation and harmony would be per-

THE CHICAGO Times, which has eu-
logized Mr.. Lincoln since his death, and
denounced his assassin in set terms,
thus expressed itself in its issue of July
lst, 1864:
He president Lincoln) could not be
more worthiess dead than he Is living, 6ut
would be infinitely less mischievous, and
hi corpse, repuisive as IL tsould be in its
freshest state and richest and most grace
fiji AaJiiiments, pouid get be tie most op-
propriate sacrifice Which the iasulted ma
lion could offer in a'onement for its sub
mission 10 his inbscility and despotism.
On the hast 4th of July, the Chicago
Times thus recommended the murder of
Mr.. Lincoln:
"Let the people clothe themselves in
sackcloth, and sprinkle ashes on their
heads. 1t beseems to put on the SEM
blance of mourning deeply, and wear
it in their hearts over States discovered,
discordant, belligerent, land rent with
civil feuds and drenched with fraternal
gore. Let repentance and resoive at
tend their humiliation. Let them con-
template the necessity, uh:cA a few months
may preeioitate, Of striking dowa usnrped
authority, and vtadtcating BY THE BLOOD
OF A DEsroT, the awful sanctity of con-
stitutional freedom
And yet this vile- manufacturer of
Booths of all shades, who at least twice
in one week retailed threats of murder
ing public officer, simply because the
majority of the people had elevated,
and still sustained him in the first of
fee in the gift of the people-this news
paper thus complains, forsooth, because
the Copperhead party, and they, as a
part of it, are held responsible for this
crime, We tell them they never will
escape from their guilt. The blood of
Abraham Lincoln was shed by Cop
perhead, the equal in previous personal
iespectability of the majority of the
members of his party. Before doing
so, he wrote out, clearly and forcihly, a
declaration of his Copperhead princi-
Piles rs his reasons for committing the
crime, The aot had been threatened
in advance, more or less clearly, in Ian
guage corresponding to the above, by
most of the Copperhead journals in the
country, and by most of the speakers
at the authoritative and solemn nation
al convention of the Uopperhead party
the only national Copperhead con-
vention that ever sat, or, we trust, ever
will. Therefore, we repeat, the act is
a Copperhead crime, and the real mon
ster is still at large.

A Port Royal corres3scndent de-
scribes the arrival of jeff Davis and
party at that point. Ashe approached
the boat, tall, spare man dressed in
gray, having avian, gaunt and depress-
ed look, his whiskers and mustache
rather close cut and almost white, was
walking along the space between the
deck cabin and bulwarks, and stopped
for moment to caress little girl, very
indifferently dressed, and then passed
in at the gangway door. These were
Jefferson Davis and daughter. He ev-
identity has passed through a great deal
of mental trouble for the last four
years. A few moments later he seated
himself in corner of the cabin, his
wife, plain looking lady, dressed in
black, by his side. The two were en-
gagged in perusing papers which had
been brought to them. His hat was
drawn pretty well over his eyes, so
that only when he lifted his face could
much expression be noticed. No one
wished to be introduced to aim. Two
of bis children, boy and girl, looking
to be about six and seven years of age
respectively, were about every where
on the steamer. Davis, Stephens, Re-
gan. and the others seemed to have no
proper appreciation of the position in
which they were standing. Davis him.
self, it is asserted, has no idea that
anything beyond Punishment will be his
lot. Stephens thought the proper way
to start the civil government again,
would be to institute measures for the
repeal of the ordinances of secession,
and by that means restore our original
relations. Regan thought there would
be no difficulty in bringing about good
feeling, provided disfranchisement and
confiscation were not carried too far.
No one expected slavery tobe saved or
an assumption ofthe rebel debt, but he
thought the rebels who had held official
positions must not be depgiyed of votes
or property.

had previously been found in JEFF. Da-
Wis house in Richmond. This paper
was not supposed 10 be of Importance
until one in Booths pocket was COM

been offered. in the subject of the cor.
respopdence was the proposed assassin

h An o1ncef OF the Onited states army,
whose authority in such case we can,
not question, gives leave to publish the
following account ofwhat he heard JEFF
Davis say, before the breaking out of
the war. We use his words:

words in Southern town where he de-
levcred an address in November, 1860.
/ did not hear the whole speech, only
the words quoted, as ! passed by the
crowd Of listenars:
"What coerce sovereign state at

Unable rights!
"Let Mr.. Lincoln try It, or Mr., Doug
las either, and we will hang them high

THE REBEL RAM SToNEwALL.-The
Stonewall is about IT'S feet long over
all, and 80 feet beam, and is fitted with
a spur or ram 20 feet in length, made
of wrought iron, and strongly fastened
to the ship. Her wrought plating is
81 inches thick, with heavy, solid
wood backing. She has two immova-
bic turrets, the forward one armed with
a heavy 3OO-pounder Armstrong rifle
gun, and the latter with two 2O0-pound-
er Armstrong;. The decks arc of
whhd, with iron plating an inch thick
beneath. She has two keels, two rud-
ders, two propellers and four engines
of great power. Her main deck is said
to be not more than five feet above the
water. Her sides slope in considera-
bly,, to glance off shot. She is brig
rugged, and carries about seventy men.
She was constructed at Bordeaux,
France, during the year 1864, ostensi-
bly, for the Danish Government. but
really for the rebels. Her open trans
ter to the rebel authorities being, how
ever, prevented by the protests of Min
lister Dayton, she was taken to Copen-
hagen, and in few days time, put to
sea as confederate cruiser" On
the 4th Of February, 1865, she arrived
at Ferrol, Spain, and few days later
the United States war ships, Niagara
and Sacramento arrived at the same
port. On the 2lst of March the Stone
wall proceeded to Lisbon, followed by
the American vessels. Leaving Lis
bon, she sailed to Teneriffe, arriving
there on March 2lst. On the lst Of
April she again put to sea, since that
time we have heard nothing from her
until she now turns up at Nassau.
