VIEWS OLA CONFEDERATE. Raphael Sem
mes, ex-Contederate admiral, presented a set
Of Union colors to the steamer Commercial, at
Memphis, last week, and made speech, wind
ing up as follows:
"We we're beaten in the war, and the flag Of
the conqueror became our flag. Take, then,
these colors, captain; theyare the colors OF our
common country, whatever may be their pres
ent Specification We can all feel an honest
pride in their more ancient history, as trust
we shall be enabled to do in their future histo-
~. With regard to what [ may call their cs
peelal history-that is, the history which COW
ers the tour years Of our internecine war-it is
our duty, both Us Christians and brethren, to
forget it. That war has left many and CHASTITY
wounds. Let US, of the South, do our part by
closing them with tender and gentle hand, 50
that no scars may remain to remind us of the
conflict. And let us cndeavor also to convert
this new flag into the old flag again, that we
may love it as OF yore.

TRIAL OF SURRATT In the SurratL trla!
yesterday the examination Of witnesses for the
prosecution was continued. Brooke Staber,
who was examined yesterday, WAS subjected 10

Booth and Azeroit, and thus to connect HIM
with the assassination consplratorS James
N Humphrey, 4 livery stable keeper, was cx-
amned to the same end. Miss Uonora
Fitzpatrick, who boarded with hlra. Surralt
prior to aud at the date OF the assassination,
testified to substantially the same facts that she
had testified to at the trial OF the consplralors,
viz that Booth, Payne and AtZerodt were
in the habit OF visiting at the house. Miss
Fllzpatrlck will he one Of the witnesses Tor the
defence.
The most important witness, however, was
Benz W. Fandcrpoel lawyer OF New York,
who testitics to an intimate acquaintance Will
Booth. and swears that he saw Booth and Sur
ratt together in 4 concert saloon on the eventiu
I4th OF April He never saw Surrat before tha
time, and has never seen him since until now
but he is very positive in his assertions that he
recognizes him. Fandcrpocl admitted, OF
cross-examination, that he was not summoned
in the case, but he came here as voiunIec
witness.
The court adjourned at go, hall an honl
earlier than the day before. yhe prosecution
announced that much time would be occupied
in the examination Of The witness they propoS
cd to call next, but dcclinri to say who TIT
witness was It Is probable, however, that !
is either Wcichman Or ST. Marie.
