AB Mare Ovmplete Account, At 10.25 last night the train brought George Andreas Atzerot and Ernst Hartmann Rich- ter, arrested about 4 o’clock yesterday morn- ing, at Richter’s farm, near Middleburgh P. O., Montgomery county, Maryland. They were received at the depot by Colonel T. in- graham and Capt. William N. Wermerskirch, and taken toa safe place. Richter stated that Atzerot, who was his cousin, slept on the 14th instant atthe Pennsylvania House, formerly the Kimmel House, in C street; that he left Washington on Saturday and went to Rock- ville by stage, there hired a buggy, drove to Gettysburg, and then rode on a farmer’s wa- gon to Kloppersville, where he arrived late at night, and remained till next morning; thence he walked to Richter’sfarm. Atzerot is twen- »ty-eigbt years old, five feet five inches in height, bas a swarthy complexion, and dark hair, moustache, and imperial. He seems to be shrewd, and was very reserved in his an- swers. Richter said that he had not seen him for about three months until he came te his farm on Sunday last. | There will mes meeting of the SEVENTH | WABD BXEMPTION OLUB on SATOR- DAY EVENING, at TURNER HALL, corner Maine avenue and 434 street, at 7%> o’clock.— Punctua! attendance is earnestly requested as passe of importance 1s to be transacted. api.

Atzerot, sometimes known as «Port Tobacco,” and one of Booth’s accom- plices, who was arrested yesterday at Ger- mantown, Montgomery eounty, Md., by Capt- Townsend’s company of the ist Delaware cav- alry, arrived here last night in a special car attached to the regular 10 o’clock train. The authorities here having been informed by telegraph of the arrest of Atzerot, Colonej Ingraham, Colonel Luddington, and Marshal Murray, of New York, with a strong mili- tary force, were in attendance at the rail- road station, and immediately upon the arri- val of the train a guard was placed at every door of the passenger cars to prevent the pas- sengers from leaving the cars until the prison- er had been removed to a place of safety. This precaution was taken to avoid any tumult by the fact of his arrival being divulged. Atzerott was then taken quietly from the train 4a piacea in au eMuivus, Which haa been seized by the military authorities, for the purpose, and rapidly driven to a sate place of confinement. Assoon as the passengers were allowed to leave the train, and it became known that the prisoner had arrived here, the news spread rapidly, and in a very short time an immense crowd of persons had assembled at Col. Ingra- ham’s office in anticipation that he would be brought there, but in this they were disap- pointed. While on the way, Atzerott maintained a sullen silence, and endeavored to assume an air of indifference. He was well dressed, and appears to have made no efforts to conceal his identity. He has a thoroughly bad face and repulsive manners, TRE OPERATIONS OF THE NAVY BEFORE MOBILE. Capture of Forts and the River Cleared of Obstructions. H. K. Thatcher, commanding the West Gulf Squadron, has torwarded to the Navy Depart- ment a detailed report of the operations of the navy before Mobile. Gom. Thatcher, in his dispatch, which is dated U.S. flagship Stock- dale, offMobile, April 12, says: **Subsequent to the capture of Fort Alexis and Spanish Fort, detailed in my dispatch No. 53, dated April the 9th, the Octorora, Lieut, Com. W.W. Low, and the iron-clads were enabled, in consequence ef the thorough drag- ging of the Blakely river, through the indefati- gable and intelligent exertions of Commander Pierce Crosby, to move up the river nearly abreast of Spanish Fort, trom which point Lt. Com. Low, with his rifled gans, shelled with great precision Forts Huger and @®racy, and with such effect that both these forts were eyaeuated on the evening of the 11th, and our torces took possession, capturing a tew prison- ers in the adjoining marsh. These forts I shall hold until General Canby can garrison them with troops. “This morning I moved with the gunboats, . conyoying eight thousand men of -General Granger’s force to the west side of Mobile bay, for the purpose of attacking Mobile. “On onr arrival, it was soen ascertained that the enemy had evacnated all their defences and retreated with their gunboats up the Alabama river. The gunboats willin afew days un- quegtionably be captured, unless destroyed by the rebels themselves. ‘General Granger and myself have just sent into Mobile a formal demand to the Mayor for its unconditional surrender, which will un- doubtedly be accorded, as the city is now at our mercy. The navy has already hoisted the stars and stripes over the walls ot Fort Pinto and Spanish River Battery. «We also have entire possession of Choctaw Point Battery, and three heavy forts below it within Gunow’s Bend. “I shall piace a sufficient number of gun- boats directly in front of the city to give effici- cient protection to the loyal inhabitants, of which I learn there are a great number. Gen. Canby, with the forces under his immediate command, is at present in Blakely, though I here constant telegraphic communication with im.” RECEPTIONS BY PRESIDENT JOHNSO The President was engaged all the morning in receiving visitors. The Indiana, Ohio and Maine delegations called to pay their respects, when addresses were made by Gov. Morton, on the part of the Indiana delegation; Gov. Brough, on the part of the Ohio delegation; and Representative Rice, on part of the Maine del- egation, the President replying to each most appropriately, despite the heavy run upon him as an impromptu speaker made by so many visiting Gelega tigns. CHANGES OF COMMAND. Mejor General Halleck left this city last evening for Richmond, it is stated, to relieve Mayor General Ord, and assume command of the Department of Virginia; headquarters at Richmond. Major General Ord is to relieve Major Gen- eral Gillmere, in command of the Depart- ment of the South ; headquarters at Charles. ton, S.C. Major General Gillmore is ordered to report in person to the Adjutant General of the Army tor orders. Brigadier General Dent, late of Lientenant General Grant’s staff, has been assigned to duty as Military Governor of Richmond, re- lieving General Shepley. SECRETARY SEWARD AND SON. We learn from Dr. Verdi that Secretary Sew- ard passed acomfortable night, in consequence of which he is much better this morning. Mr. Frederick Seward also passed a quiet night, put he has gained very little in the last forty- eighthours. His case is one that gives much anxiety to his physicians and to his family. wv Elsewhere will be found the proceedings ofa meeting, and action of its committee in relation to the appointment of marshals for the funeral of the late President, obnoxious to the charge of disloyalty. Whether blame may be due in the premises we are quite sure that neither Marshal Lamon or his Deputy Mar- sbal Phillips, have erred knowingly in the matter. It will be seen that Mr. Phillips has promptly tendered his resignation, and we learn on good authority that Marshal Lamon will, on his re- turn from Springfield, also tender his resig- nation.

LATE FROM RICHMOND, From Captain Talbert, of the mail boat City Point, (which did not arrive until about two o'clock, haying been detained by the fog,) we have yesterday’s Richmond Whig, from which we glean the following: “There has been no public expression of grief by the ciiizens of Richmond at the calam- ity which has convulsed the nation, because it is the desire of the military authorities that there shall be no assemblage of the people in this city for the present. We know that sev- eral prominent citizens proposed to convene a public meeting, at which resolutions could be adopted expressive of this community’s abhor- rence of the terrible crime, of profound t at the death of the President, and of sympathy for his bereaved family.

At noon twenty-one minute guns were fired by the war vessels in the harbor; and the roar of the guns as they reverberated through the city awoke in the minds of all the realization of the sol- emn event that was transpiring at the capital of the nation. ««NO PASSAGE FOR PAROLED PRISONERS.— By order of General Patrick, Provost Marshal General, no passports to go Nerth will be given, at present, to paroled officers or soldiers of the Confederate army. We are not officially informed of the canses that prompted this restriction, but we are satisfled that the order is a judicious one, in view of the present state of affairs in the Northern States, growing out of the asssassination of President Lincoln.” FROM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. ——__»—— Captured Rebel Flags Turned Over to Gen. Meade, who Addresses the Captors—News ef the Marder of President Lincoln inthe Army. Correspondence of the Associated Press.] eincvamcnea ARMY Potomac, April 17. Quite an interesting event took place at head- quarters this morning. The 6th corps having taken eighteen flags during the recent snort campaign, it was arranged that the men who captured them, accompanied by the com- mands, should march to the vicinity of General Meade’s headquarters, and there turn in the colors taken from the rebels. Gen. Meade addressed these heroes in ax appropriate speech, thanking them individ- ual IY for their gallantry, and the entire ere for the Important part they had performed in being the mret regiment to break the enemy’s line at Petersburg. as well as their cunduct in pursuing and aiding inthe utter defeat and capture of the most important army of the Confederacy. In conclusion General Meade announced thatevery man who had taken a flag should bave a furlough for 30 days and that each man should carry his own and present it tothe War Department at Washington. The scene was a brilliant One and was much onjoytd by all wuo witnessed it. Tbe announcement of the assassination ot Mr. Lincoln and Messrs. Seward was received throughont this army with the greatestsorrow, and eyery man seeming to think it the greatest calamity that could possibly have happened just at this time. Should the aseassins be found and turned over to the army to be dealt with, their pun- ishment would be swift and sure, and such as to strike terror into the hearts of every sym- psthizer with treason in the United States, and the citizens living through thecountry express their deep regret at the occurrence, thinking it the worst thing that could possibly have taken place justat this time, for the Southern people. The greater portion of this army is now con- centrated at Burkesyille Junction, taking a short rest after their late hard work; but it is thought that a movement of the main body of the troops will be made toward Petersburg and Richmond. The cavalry, as well as the colored division of the 25th corps, have already gone in that direction. In fact such a change will have to be made in a few days, as the capabilities of the Southside, in its present con- dition, are entirely inadequate to supply so many troops with rations and the animals with forage. The latter haye suffered much the past week, large numbers haying been aban- doned on account of not being able to feed them. The train which arrived this evening was thirty-two hours on the road from City Point to the Junction, some three or four engines being off the track at different points, TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.

AT A MEETING of loyal citizens and residents of Washington, held on Thursday evening. April 20th, instant, the following resolutions were passed unanimously, to wil: Whereas, in the selection of citizens to act as Marshals at thetuneral procession of our late honored and beloved President, many were se- lected who have never been in sympathy with the Administration; who have not given aid, counsel or encouragement to the great canse of the Union, or whose secretsympathies were un- derstood to be with the infamous rebellion, the rime moving cauge of the assassination of our resident; and whereas it was stated by com- petent authority, that Marshal Lamon was not in this city at the time that list was prepared and published: Therefore— Resolved, That we consider the act above re- ferred toan outrage and insult to the Union people of the District, and tothe loyal sojourn- ers in this city, who had the sad privilege of peed | in the funeral ceremonies. Resolved, That a committee of mine be ap- pointed to wait on the Marshal of the District of Columbia, and resvectfully and earnestly request the removal of the oificer or officers who made the obnoxious selections. In accordance wi'h those resolutions, the fol- lowing committee was appointed, to wit: Jonn Wilson, Chairman; John R. Elvars, Rey. John Dudley, Col. C. P. Field, Charles King, Col. F. A. Willet, Rey. John Trimble, Captain Levi Beardsley, and F. A. Boswell. The committee thus appointed went to the Marshal’s office at 10 o’clock, Friday morning, and finding that Marshal Lamon was absent, attending the remains of our late beloved Pres- ident, called on Deputy Marshal Phillips, and communicated to him the fact of the meeting, the appointment of the committee and the sub- stance of the above resolutions. Deputy Marshal Phillips expressed the deepest regret that the obnoxious appoint. ments had been made; stated that the selections had to be made in a hurry; that the principal object sought was to obtain men who under- stood the marshaling of carriages and manage- ment of horses, keeping in view the ability of the persons selected to procure horses for the occasion; that the selections were made in the presence of several gentlemen, and every name stricken eff against which the slightest sug- gestion or objection was made; that after the list was published a citizen called on him and objected to some of the names, when they were atonce stricken ont and others substituted, suggested by that citizen, and corrected lists published. He stated, farther, that Marshal Lamon knew nothing of the matter till after the amended list had been puolished, and was in no man- ner, shape or form responsible tor the matter; but that he, Phillips, had made a serious blun- der, and would freely offer every atonement in his power by at once tendering his resigna- tion, to take eae io the return of Marshal hich he .
