Is contains an account Of a Press Supper
at Richmond, on Tuesday evening last.
Mr.. Greeley was given the post Of hon.
or, and at the table gave evidence that he
had abandoned his Grahamite heresics.-
The supper over, Mr.. Greeley responded
to the toast Of "a reunited North and
South" in q very conciliatory style, re
GREETED that disagreements should ever
have marred the harmony which once ex.
listed between the States, but hoped that
the dissensions Of the past were forever
buried, and that the days Of sections and
Sectionali,m had passed away. He spoke
at some length in the same pleasant
strain, and concluded with "The re.es.

the voice Of the press is more potent
than the tbunders Of battle"
Now, horror Of horrors, toasts were

THE ASHLAND UNION, WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY q.

Custar's late cavalry raid after the In
dams Of the plains are compared by the
old frontier men, to the hunting Of wild
ducks with brass bands. 1t is said that
the more northerly tribes between the
North Platte and the British line, well
armed and mounted, are determined to
wage war against the whites.
The report reaches us Of another atroc-
ity committed by the hostile Indians
A steamer, descending the river, is sur
prised, her crew and passengers butcher
ed and scalped, and the boat pillaged and
destroyed. A shade Of discrcdit is thrown
over this report in some quarters on the
frontier, while others again, we'll inform
ed as to the savage nature, and familiar
with the country and the tactics Of the
hostile tribes, believe tito be true.

I6~A Washington dispatch saws 1;

Gen. Butler has indicated these several
days past that he has yet in reserve his
strongest card against Mr.. Bingham's
conduct Of the conspiracy trial. 1t is sup.
posed that this affirmation relates more
particularly to certain notes and dates de-
rived from Mr.. Jno. 7. Ford, the pro-
prletor Of the theatre wherein President
Lincoln met his death, and who it will be
remembered was imprisoned for six weeks
in the Old Capitol with a score or moro
Of persons arrested upon suspicion Of
completely. The conversations and gen.
eral communication had among these
prisoners, together with the affrighted
utteraDce of the Government witness,
Welchmau, then also under duress; are
said to have made important c~onsidera-
tons, affecting the theory of guilt and in
nocence, all Of which Mr.. Ford had com.
mitted to a diary, and now submits it to
the keeping of Butler.

The Trial or surratt.

The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Times says:
otis now quite evident that it is the
purpose of the Government to put off
the trial Of John H. Surratt to an indef-
mite period, and, if possible, not to have
it take place at all. The reason is, as 1
before stated, because his trial will re.
suit in his acquital. If the trial of Mr..
Surratt ever does take place, it will be
proved that there was no conspiracy to
murder Mr.. Lincoln, and consequently
no eonspirators ; that Booth had no &C.
completes in the murder ; and above all,
it will he proved; clear as a sunbeam,
that Mrs. Surratt was innocent. AS re.
CARDS the absolute innocence Of that un-
fortunate lady, it is a point upon which
/ have insisted I'VE, since her trial.
Since the speech of B. Butler on this
subject, many Of the Republican news
papers begin to see the matter in the
same light"

The LEvEEs.--We have received
says the New Orleans Bee, Of the
30tb alt., from Mr. Snethen, private
secretary to Gov. Flanders, copy
Of correspondence between the Gov
ernor and Messrs. E. Lawrence and
J. Burnside, of the Board of Levee
Commissioners, by which it appears
that the Levee bonds have not yet
been negotiated, urging that the
planters of the State should no Ion
ger remain idle and refuse to help
themselves in the work of repairing
and rebuilding their levees. as the
season when they must be put in or
der is near at hand, and there is
doubt about the bonds being nego-
tiated. The Commissioners say:
Admitting that the State appro-
priation is made available for their
relief, they have an important work
to perform in looking to the repairs
of their levees, as the most essential
part OF any veesystem and should
the Board fail In realizing funds, they
have no other resource for protection
than their own individual efforts, or
by enforcement of the local laws.
These laws comprise the best and
most complete system ever devised
for the maintenance and security OF
the levees. Without reference to
the existence of State Levee Board,
they should be enforced, 50 far as re-.
lates to the repairs, strengthening
and guarding of the levees. With
few exceptions, they have been al
lowed to become a dead letter since
the State commenced making nppro
priations from the general fund for
the construction Of the levees. We
believe their revival and enforcement
to be an imperative necessity for the
protection of the alluvisl lands.
The Governor is solicited to urge
the military authorizes to enforce the
old levee laws, in accordance with q
plan which they suggest. Gov.
Flanders, in addressing Gen. Sheri
dan in response to the Commission
ers' communication, says;
| have no hesitation in concurring
with them in the expediency of the
measures recommended, and there
fore unite with them in urging the
issuance Of an order by you of the
character and embracing the points
suggested in their communication.
Gen. sheridan's reply has not
TRANSFERRED. We hope the planters
will speedily realize the necessity
of taking important action in this
matter.
