Hon. JoHN A. WINSTON, the lately elected
United States Senator from Alabama--
elected over General GEo. ). HoUsToS, long
Representative in the House--possesses u
political record of considerable note, AL
though he has never been In Congress- He
Is fifty years of age and first appeared In

State Senator, of which body he was chosen
President, In lS47-S. He was elected Gov
ernor. as States Rights Democrat, which
he has been all his life. He was on C. :
PIERcE Presidential Electoral ticket.
In 1860 Governor WINSTON was on the
ticket for the State at large, and lent the
force of his intellect aud influence to the
success of the Presidential candidate of his
choice. He was bitterly opposed to seees-
sion, but on the secession of his native
Alabama he cordially acquiesced and went
with his state. He organized the Eighth
Alabama Regiment and went to Virginia

National Cemeteries at Arlington

National Cemeteries at Arlington.
One of the staff of the National Iatelh-
geReer, who has recently visited the nation
al cemeteries at Arlington, writes the fol-
lowing:
The gathering up OF the remains of the
soldiers from every field seems to be prose
cuted by Col. Moore with tender and
merciful spirit becoming the work upon
his hands. No distinction il made IN the
care bestowed upon the bodies that are
found. Those who fell on the one side and
on the other In the fraternal strife are trans
ferred with the same tenderness aud care
to the common sresting place, and 1t Is an
impressive fact that the men who are en-
gagged in this work are Invariably kind in
their words and feelings towards those who
fell ns enemies. The name of every soldier
is studiously sought, their graves, when
buried, are marked with tile wooden head
board, and the utmost care used to make
known the names to their friends, without
regard to the cause in which they poured
out their lives. This Is the spirit which Il
10 reconstruct the country. and make us
again united and prosperous people.
The rebel list is made up with the same
care rs the Union list, or roll Of hOnor.''
The names OF the prisoners OF war taken at
Fort DOnelsOn, and who died at Camp
Douglas, 3,525 In number, have recently
been received, and the clerks are placing
them upon the records. lists of this kind
are obtained In every possible direction,
embracing those dying in camps and those
buried on the battlefield, as well as those
dying In hospitals. Lists are made up
from them for each individual State and
forwarded 10 the State authorities for in
formation. The communications which
these lists call forth from friends are treated
with the same kindness rs those from the
north. g

'aThe Wards OF tlle NATION. .

This is the new title given by the RadI-
Gals 10 the freedmen of the South, and
Congress Is called upon TO see that they are
properly protected and cared for. They
are To be fed, aud clothed, and allowed 20
remain In idleness, as the wards Of the
nation, while the white laboring men of the
North are oppressed by taxation Of the
most CALLING and exhaustive character.
More than this, ten States OF the Union are
to be denied representation until the

kind OF national guardianship will hardly
meet the approval of the white men of the
North, when they come to see the effects of
it upon their interests.

John IA. Surratt--MOre About the
Capture of Surratt.

From the Washington Correspondent of the Bos-
ton Post.
The continually paraded allegation Of Mr..
Boutwell,, that the Government authorities
have been supiue in the matter of appre-
hending ,Ionn II. Surratt, calls out semi
ofncial statement from the Ministers of War
and State. The truth of the matter Is, that
the arrest Of Surratt, as recently telegraph
ed. is due solely to the efforts and actual
pursuit OF the detectives OF the War De-
partmeut. This detective system of the
War Department had reached great per-
lection prior to the close of the rebellion.
and it seems to have been power with
which Stanton was 10th to part. At all
events, nearly the whole force, consisting
ofupwurd of two hundred men. under pay
in this immediate locality, have been re-
tained In the service of the Department
during the past year, Only being required
to keep thoroughly posted upon the ante
cedents ofany Individual who made their
advent into the Capital without any appar-
ent call. The same surveillance was also di--
rected to Government clerks and army men
of every degree, particular attention being
given to the attaches of the Paymaster's
Department.. Meanwhile the real
endeayor of the organization has been
TO secure the person of John II.
Surratt, and through the cooperation OF
the State Department his whereabouts was
lTsJ Ilidttc hlloNl lO lHc GONtfilUeIlL early
in October last, when 1t was discovered al
most beyond doubt that Surratt was serv-
| ing in the Papal Zouaves in Rome. With
no more delay than transpired In getting
| instructions from Washington with en-
larged and positive authority TO effect the
capture, the first apprehension of Surratt
occurred under the auspices of our own de-
tectives about three weeks ago. His sub
scquent escape into Italy. with whom we
have but modified eXtradtion treaty
made his re-capturc doubtful until he
sealed his own doom by continuing his
| hight into Egypt. with which Government
we have full treaty of eXtradition. ! am
authorized 10 say,that the Government has
been cognizaIt of every step of this chase
after the last of the conspiratOrs. and that
| its own detectives of the War Department
force have conducted ii to the successful
end. Admiral Goldsmith has been tele-
graphed to bring the captured and his cap
tors TO this country without delay. So falls
