Seg LEOPERwPAY'O Tarens. anes eae We are indebted to Capt. Talbot, of the mail boat City Point, tor copies or the Richmond Whig and Times of yesterday, from which we glean the following items of interest: {From the Richmond Whig, April 24. “Gen. Sheridan routed Early ae Wapnes- boro’ abeut the middle of March and Put him individually upon a most tremendous race, which concluded by bringing up in Righmond, attended by one of his staff, sans coat, hat and almosteverything. When Sheridan's column bad swept by Richmond, Early was ordered back to Staunton, and was there at the time of the evacuation of this city. Upon hearing of this event, he hastened to L nehburg, and thence towards Southwestern V irginia, where, ranking Gen. Echols, he took command of the forces that were retreating before Stoneman and Thomas. When last heard from, being unable to withstand the forces in his tront and afraid of Gen. Grant in his Tear, he had de- flected to the right and was apparently making for the Kanawha Valley. It is doubt. ful whether he has yet become awre of the surrender of Gen. Lee. We look with interest for tidings from him and his command. We are authorized toannounce that by order of the military authorities, the commissaries of subsistence of the United States army in this city will begin to-day to issue to all citizens bread at six and a quarter cents per loaf of eighteen ounces. The humanity of this move, Prompted by the considerate thoughtfulness of the military authorities, cannot be over esti- mated ‘Lhere are to-day thousands of our citizens, male and female, but chiefly the lat- ter, who, living in Unwilling but unavoidable idleness, are without the means of subsistence. Over five thousands of these Persons, (females, ) upto the time of the evacuation, earned, by making soldiers clothing, a scanty livelihood, | tocol of General Sherman. | ever, we shall be TELEGRAPHIO NEWS. FROM CHATTANOOGA. x Griffin and Ma- nied by the Rebel Papers. Cuatranooca, April 24.—The Gazette has rebel news from Wilson ape the 20th inst. ‘West Point, Columbus, Griffin, amd Macon fell intoour hands. The rebel General Taylor was killed at West t Sree bridges, the depot and all the rolling stock of the West Point and Montgomery Rail- road was destroyed. One thousand rebels were captured in Columbus 8nd paroled. Governor Brown, of Georgia, has called out all the militia between the ages of sixteen and sixty. On the 19th instant the body of the raiders were on the West Point and Atlanta road. The Atlanta papers know of the aesassina- tion of President Lincoln, but make no com- | ment. They deny the surrender of Lee's army, and say he was all right on the 16th inst. INTERESTING FROM WESTMINSTER Death ef an £ditor—He is Killed by the Citizens. Battrmmore, April 25.—Joseph Shaw, ed- itor of the Westminster Carrol County Dem- ocrat, whose paper was mobbed and material destroyed on the night of the murder of Pres- ident Lincoln, on aceount of his disloyal sen- timents, and who was warned away by the ple, returned yesterday to Westminster, and last night was again waited upon bya delegation of citizens, who knockéd at his door. | He appeared and fired on the crowd, wound- | ing a young man named Henry Bell. Upon | this the enraged citizens killed Shaw on the spot. os GEN. SHER MAN’S NEGOTIATIONS. The newspaper press throughout the country almost unanimously express astonishment jat Gen. Sherman’s exercise of authority in his | correspondence with Jehnston, severely criti- cising General S., and sustaining the action of President Johnson in repudiating the agree- ment. The New York 7ribune editorially says:— ‘The repeatedly reported surrender of John- ston to Sherman turns out, on fall develop- ment, & queer bit of diplomacy, whence you | can hardly guess whether Johnston was to surrender to Sherman or Sherman to Johnston. As it was by its terms conditional, to be vallid enly in case of its approval at Washington, it has of course been disapproved, and General Grant sent down post-haste to Raleigh to take | charge of affairs in North Oarolina and pre- clude any more blunders.” The N. ¥. Times is also at a loss to discover wihich side agreed to surrender, and holds that ‘the fifth article in the agreement is intended not only to secure tull amnesty for every class of rebel offenders, but to open the way for the re-establishment of slavery in all the seceded States. It isa provision running in the face of the most important legislative enactments and executive decrees that have come into force since the rebellion commenced. It changes at one stroke the whole policy of the National Goverament. It substitutes for the formal resolutions of Congress, and the solemn decisions of the National Executive, the com- promises of & military subordinate with a rebel leader. It carries the nation back to the ver: source and fountain of the calamities ‘which Were sprung upon it when the gauge of battle was first thrown dowr by the conspirators, It undoes all that has been found politic in as- serting the supreme authority of the Govern- ment; ajl that has been esteemed righteous and humane in the discomfiture of slavery; all that has been considered essential to justify the honor and uphold the justice of the Na- tional cause before the world. And to each separate clause of this ignoble instrument, which, by the connivance of a weak and rec- reant Executive, might have become the Magna Charta of American slavery, General Sherman gave the sanction of his name as the immedi- | aie representative of the military power of the United States.” The Herald says: «We fear that General ; Sherman, like General Fremont and Genera; McClellan, has forgotten the soldier in at- | tempting at the same time to play the politi- | Cian, and that, like them, in anticipating he | has lost his opportunity. We have heard him | &s asoldier, and justly too, ranked with that great military genius, the Dake of Marlbo- rough. The parallel may now be extended to the blunders of the great Duke as a politician, with this difference: that he never committed 80 great a political blunder as this peace por- From the country at large he bas cast his political fortunes in the bands of the Peace Democracy—a poorand cvntemptible faction. For his own sake, how- glad to hear that on the re- ceipt of the intelligence of the late appalling etlemity at Waghinginn Gonoral Ghormac will have realized the extent of his indiscre- tion, and repair it in the capture or satisfac- tory surrender of Johnston’s army in advance of the arrival of General Grant. This appears mow the only chance for General Sherman to repair the sing'e but stupendous mistake which so unexpectedly interposes to overshadow his glorious reputation.” The Evening Post regrets “that an officer like General Sherman, who has won so high and deserved & name as a military commander, shonld allow it to be periled by h:s ambition to shine as @ negotiator,” and regarding the propositions of the agreement as being “little less than monstrous,” says :—‘‘General Sher. man, we have no doubt, when he shall hear of the universal revulsion of sentiment produced by the late assassination, which so signally illustrates the infernal spirit of the Tebellion, and which has given a new administration to the country, to which the Policy of inaugu- rating peace properly belongs, will regret that he has lent his countenance to this precipitate and offensive scheme of restoration. The tem- per of the people is not now what it was during the brief period of our exultation over the stu- Pendous victories won by the valor and endu- rance of our armies. It is subdued and sad- dened, but it is also more determined to root out every vestige of the unholy revolt, and to make an example of its more nefarious Ppro- moters.” The New York World says: “The reception Which General Sherman’s arrangement en- countered at Washington proves how terribly the South has lost by that deed of horror which sends a shucder to the utmost bounds of civi- lization. No man in bis senses can expect the North to feel as it would if this appailing crime had not been committed. We have passed into anewera. Itis not fair to judge Gen’l Sher- man’s work, done in ignorance of what had eked out bysuch supplies as the Citiz ¥ Committee could furnish.

In the lower market very fair beefsteaks could be bought for 16 and 30 cents per pound, pork for 25 cents, and vege- tables were a fraction lower than the day pre- ceding.

How- ever.well-intentioned General Sherman may have been, the people will not affirm the terms o1bis convention with Johnston. In diaap- proving his conduct the General Administra. tion only acted in ovedience to, and in accord- ance with, the known wishes and demands of the masses. They have seen many dark days. They have parted with many cherished rela. tives and friends. They haye given up com- forts and treasure without number. They Dave seen favorite Generals falling under sus- picion and reproach, and retired to Private life. And they have lost a friend and counsel- lor in their beloved Lincoln.

In our remarks yesterday concerning the status of the ex- Washingtonians returned here from reveidom—and which the Chronicle in copying credits to an Alexandria paper—we held that these apostates having voluntarily disfranchised themselyes here and sought a new home in rebeldom, could not now under eover of the terms of the parole of Lee’s army» claim Washington as their home. It will be seen that the able and conclusive decision of Attorney General Speed fully sus- tains the opinion we expressed; and it is set down as & fixed fact that these rebels will be restricted to the home of their election,—in other words, that they must lie in their bed as they have made it. This decision will give the greatest satisfac- tion to all loyal citizens, as relieving us from & dangerous element in our midst, and as averting the danger Of such serious breaches of the peace as were threatened had these fel- lows appeared here again wearing their old plantation airs of insolence and swagger, Nothing but a humble probation of repent- ance should entitle any of them to a home here again, and the more mischievous ones should never be permitted to regain a foothold here. A NOVEL GIFT TO PRESIDENT JOHNSON. Last night a coffee or tea set, formerly used by Jeff. Davis and sold atauction witha quan- tity of silver plate just previous to the evacu- ation of the city by the rebels, was presented to President Johnson by Mr. A. Barratti, of Richmond, who purchased the article at the auction sale. The coffee or tea set in question is a perfect miniature or fac simile of arailroad locomo- tive, with tender attached; the locomotive boiler receives the coffee or tea, makes and dis- charges it through @ spiggot, a steam whistle indicating when teaor coffee is ready. The boiler of the locomotive is of porcelain, and the figure of the fireman, of the same material, appears on the locomotive vigorously ringing the bell, which, we suppose, means the break- fast, dinner orsupper bell. The tender, which is an admixture of brass and other metal, car- ries the sugar in an elegant sugar caisson, with goblet for cognias and stunning small cut glasses. The sides of the tender are embel- lished with racks for cigars. The most cu- rious contrivance of all is a secret music box, located somewhere in the tender, which, being set, plays eight popular airs, sufficient in length to entertain a supper, dinner or break. fast table. The whole establishment, engine and tender, rests upon two beautiful enam- elled waiters. Upon the side of the locomo- tive, infminiature, is emblazoned + President Jefferson Davis,” showing that the testimo- nial, locomotive and tender, were built ex- pressly for his use or pleasure. Upon the front, just above where the ‘cow catcher” ought to be, appears the Confederate national banner and battle fiag, entwined with the na- tional ensign of France. So THE CONSPIRACY. We hear that yesterday one of the prisoners charged with being concerned in the assassi- nation plot attempted to kill himself by knock- ing out his brains against the walls ofthe apart- ment in which he is confined. He failed to ac- complish his purpose, however, and was sose- cured that he cannot make a similar attempt, He was badly cut about the head and lost a large quantity of blood, but he is not seriously injured. It is said thatthis prisoner is the,one who was arrested at Surrat’s house, on street and who gave his name as Paine. VISIT TO THE PRESIDENT. A Tennessee delegation, headed by Hon. Hor- ace Maynard, called to pay their respects to President Johnson this morning, and had the good sense to spare him the infliction of a speech, simply testifying their good will bya cordial shake of the hand As Tennesseeans they doubtless feit that they knew his sentiments and whatstaff he ismade of without any formal ayowals on his part. DRAFTED M RELEASED. P In obedience toorders from the Provost Mar- shal General all the drafted men of this Dis- trict who were in the barracks at the corner of 1sth and I streets, were released on Friday The men were s0 rejoiced at their release that they refused te receive the pay for the time which they were held. All drafted men who have failed to report will now, we understand, upon presenting themselves at the Provost Marshal's office re- ceive a certificate of release. ALLOW TO GO NORTH, A general order has been issued at Rich- mond announcing that if among the paroled prisoners of the Confederate army there are any mechanics who desire te remove to the North their families, with a view to obtaining employment, they will, upon taking the oath of allegiance, be furnished with transportation to Philadelphia, New York or Boston, as they may desire. MRS. LINCOLN. Mrs. Lincoln is yet greatly depressed in spirits, but is recovering somewhat from the Prostration occasioned by Mr. Lincoin’s sud- den death. She is wnable to leave her roomas yet, however, andis constantly attended by Mrs. Secretary Welles. Mrs. Lincoin will probably leave for her home, in I|1inois, about morning that he expressed a belief that he would be able to ride out by Saturday. He called for the foreign papers this morning, and ‘was engaged for some time in reading them. Mr. Frederiok Sewasd rested comfortably last night, and is now doing remarkably well. GOING TO ECROPE, Several psroled officers of Lee’sarmy havin; signified s desire to go to Hurope or elsewhere, Major General Ord has issued an order in. forming them that passports and passage to Halifax wiil-be furnished them on application to the Provost Marshal (#eneral Department of Virginia. BIDS FOR FLOUR. On the 1€th instant, Capt. Bridges, C.S. V., opened the bids for furnishing the Govern- ment with flour, when it was ascertained that 24,300 barrels had been bid for exclusively by Georgetown and Baltimore merchants, at prices ranging from $8.75 to 9.40.

THE REMAINS OF PRESIDENT LIN- COLN IN NEW YORK. NEw YorRK, April 25.—A constant stream of ple have been passing through the Uity Fan to see the remains of the late President ever since yesterday afternoon. At midnight, the German singers, numbering 1,000 voices, chanted dirges. Q Throughont the night the long line of citizens anxious to view the remains was kept moving until early this morning. Soon after daylight it was lengthened greatly, extending from Warren to John street, on Broadway, on the weet side of the Uity Hall; while there was another line of greater length running through the streets on the east side of the Hall. Broadway &nd all the adjoining streets were thronged by people anxious to secure a place 1n the line, or catch 8 glimpse ef the hearse. All places of business are closed, while the upper stories of every building along the route of procession are occupied by anxious spec- tators. One o’elock—The procession is now moving “with the remains to Hudson River It is the most imposing and impressive spectacle ever witnessed. L There are no vehicles in line of the proces- sion, and it moves with an imposing solemnity to the mournful music of various bands. The military are out in full force. 5 One of the festoons in front of the city hall took fre this morning, causing great excite- ment, as the cry of fire wasraised. The pres- ence of mind of 8n officer, who promptly tore down the burning drapery, saved a rash in the crowd, which would in all probability caused a loss of lite. The crowd in Broadway was 80 great that it was found necessary to run chains around the space the procession was to pass.

Tue RarceneD Wnhirred Rese.s—Editor Star: Your notice of the return to this city of the notorions Dr. Boyle trom rebeldom, on Saturday, was highly appreciated by all true lovers of the Union; and the question naturally arises, What is the duty of all good loyal cit- izens in regard to those persons who basely deserted their homes in the time of greatest danger and went over to and into the service of the common enemy for the purpose ot ma- king war upon their former neighbors and friends? To say the least, sir, they should not be permitted to again settle inour midst. They should be notified that their room is better than their company; that they are not wanted here, and that they must leave. If necessary, let a meeting of our citizens be called and acom- Mittee be appointed te wait spon these traitor- ous scoundrels and request them, in & format manner, to leave, with the understanding (uat if theydo not take the hint their perceptions will be quickened. I regret to say that some of cer loyal citi- zens so far forget themselves as to permit these returned rebels to resume thair former social standing, and speak tc them, shake hands with them, invite them to their houses, &c. This should not be. A very contemptible specimen of the ‘*returned whipped rebel genus” pa- raded himself at St. John’s Church, in George- town, on NSnnday afternoon last, and was bailed by many as ‘good fellow well met,” much to the disgust of the true Union citizens, and, I regret to say, most heartily by those who get their bread and butter from Uncte Sam, including an officer and his wife. This is all wrong, or we who have been fighting the devil with fire have made a atmistake. It will be time enough toresume such acquain- tanee when repentance is perceptible. VERITAS. Washington, April 25, M65. — a THB SANITARY REGULATIONS.—The season is now approaching when it will be necessary tor the strictest observance of the regulations for the heaith of the city. The voluntary at- tention of. householders and others to the wise rules laid down by the city fathers for the pre- servation of the health and cieanliness of the metroplolis is desirable, and would be credi- table to them as good citizens, but the persis- teat violation of the rules is now regarded as disgraceful, and the sanitary police are grow- ing more strict than ever in the enforcement of the rules; a duty which keeps that department of the Metropolitan police constant busy. The sanitary department consist f nine officers, under the direction of C. F. iD, as chief, and an idea of the duty requifed, and the energy with which it is performed, is given by the fact that from March 2istto April 2ist, the number of nuisances reported and abated was 480. The officers were successful in the great majority of cases in securing the abate- ment of nuisances without the extra costs of a Magistrate’s trial, though fines were imposed in a number of cases. The determination of the police to enforce the law orght to induce the negleetful to attend to this important duty. Good citizens will act without compulsion. ——._—__ - SUSPICHOUS CHARACTER.—L ast night, officer Ganghraa: arrested a man named William Graham, who had engaged a room at the Kirkwood House Sunday night, and attracted attention by his suspicious movements. Gra- bam was-accompanied most of the time by a man named Lawn, who lives on: F street, and last evening in the bar-room of the Kirkwood House was inquiring after President Johnson, ‘owhether-he was stopping at the notel,” and upon parting he was overheard to ask Lawn, ‘Shall we kill another Abraham Lin- coln, or say bia quietly down todie.” Gra- ham and wn were immediately arrested, and after an examination to-dey by Judge Ad- vocate Fisher, were remanded to the Ventral Guardhouse for further investigation.
