HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoTo
MAC, April 17-Quite an interesting
event took place at the headquarters this
morning. The Sixth corps having taken
eighteen flags during the recent short
campaign, it was arranged that the men
whocaptured them, accompanied by their
commanders, should march to the vicin-
ity of General Meade's quarters, and then
turn in tho colors taken from the rebels.
General Meade addressed them in an ap-
propriate speech, in which he thanked
them individually for their gallantry and
the entire corps for the important part
they had performed in being, the first to
break the enemy's line at Petersburg, as
well for their conduct In pursuing and
aiding In the utter defeat and capture of
the principal army of the Confederacy.
In conclusion General Meade announced
that every man who had taken flag
should have furlough for thirty days,
and that each one should carry his own
and present it to the War Department at
Washington The scene was brilliant
and much enjoyed by all who witnessed
it,
The announcement OF the assassination
of Mr.. Lincoln and Mr. Seward and his
son was received throughout this army
with the utmost horror, and very many
think it the greatest calamity that could
have possibly happend just at this time
Should the assassins be found and turned
over to the army to be dealt with, their
punishment would be swift and sure,
and such as to strike into the heart of
every sympathizer with treason. The
citizens in the country express their re-
gret at the occurrence and think it the
worst thing that could have happened
for the Southern people just at this juno
ture 3Faf
The greater part of this army is con-
centrated at Burksville Junction, and is
taking a short rest after its recent hard
work, but it is thought that movement
of the main body Of tr6ops will soon be
made toward Petersburg md Richmond.
The whole colored divisions0f the 25th
corps have already gone in that direc-
ton
Nothing had been heard here frOm
Sherman, butit was expected that John
ston would surrender.
