Out of ten thousand regular physicians you om- not find one who will not say that Stimulants ard Invisorants are absolutely necessary in medicil practice. And yet in by-gone years humane prat- titioners have hesitated to administer them, be: eause the fiendish ingenuity of wretches who make merchandise ef human infirmities, had so polluted and deteriorated them that the remedy was deemed as dangerous as the disease. This perplexity is happily done away with. Physicians know, be- cause the first analytical chemistd of the age have demonstrated the fact, that Hosterrer’s OrLE- BRATED STOMACH BirTERS are absolutely and en- tirely free from all pernicious elements, Hence they have been intro duced into the United States Army, and are accepted, whereon the testimony of the wise, the intelligent and the philanthropic is rated at its just value, as the best protective against and cure for all diseases arising from im- purity in the air or other unhealthy climate in- fluences, that has ever been tested by experience, In cases of Dy pepsia and Liver Complaint,we state without qualification or reservation, that the Bit ters are as nearly infallible as anything prepared by buman skill can be. ap 26-20 “Onward, right onward, Into the Valley of Death, Rode the Six Hundred.” But larger, by hundreds multiplied into mil- liona, than the doomed band who rode to swift destruction in Tennyson’s poem, is the great cay- alcade of unhappy men whe are rushing to un- timely graves, followed by the gaunt spectre Dys- pepsia.

Nxw York, April 25._New York hasamply paid her last tribute of respect to the remains of the late President They were escorted to tre Hudson River depot by a funeral proces- sion never equalled in this country. Leading the line were two divisions of State militia, including infantry, cavalry, and artil- lery, besides a battalion of marines. Immediately following was the 7th regiment State militia, which has done guard duty since the pate | the funeral cortege in this city. The regiment looked magnificently fJeome two- thirds of it doing :mmediate escort duty, while the the balance were formed in & hollow square around the hearse. Inside this square was another aperd of honor of military and naval Officers. Next followed carriages, three abreast, containing city government delegations, mili- tary and naval officers, and representatives of different nations; Governor Fenton, members of the Legislature of New York, and others. Next were employes of the Custom-house, Sub-Treasury. Post-office, officers of thearmy, volunteer service, and navy. Various clubs were next represented—Loyal Leaguers, Tam- many Society, and the Democratic General Committees. ‘The Sons of Temperance turned out Very elfectively; but the most remarkable feature was the immense number of Masons who were next inline. Perhaps ten thousand were in the procession, closing with thousands of respeciably-dressed negroes. i It was three hours passing a given point, and as the end reached the depot, the corpse of our martyred President was many miles away from the city. The utmost feeling was mani- fested every where. 3 ‘The passing of the coffin was a «signal for all to uncover oheir heads. All over the floor of the hearse, on which the coffin rested, were strewed most ,beautifal flowers. The hearse itself was the theme of praise from all,as most appropriate for the occasion. No accidents occurred during the day. Minute guns were fired all dey, and bells tolled during the time of the removal of the Temains to the depot. : After the procession had passed, animmense meeting was held in Union Square, at which a funeral cration was delivered by Hon.

Arrangements for the: obsequies at Spring- fie a. ‘Special Despatch to the Chicago Times.) Seutpen aah ILx., April 21.—_The prelimi- nary arrangements for the obsequies of the late President Abraham Lincoln, are being rapidly pushed forward. Committees have been appointed to superintend every detail of reparation, and are all actively engaged. The general impression seems to be that the extensive grounds known as the Mather prop- erty, in the southeastern part of the city, will be purchased for the last resting-place of the honored remains, though many Citizens are desirous that they should repose in Oak Ridge Cemetery, naturally one of the most [beautiful burial grounds in the United States, and just beyond the preeent city limits. it is proposed, however, to purchase the ground above spok- en of, comprising six acres in fall view of the Capitol, and also from the Chicago and St. Louis railroad, and erect a temporary tomb; the ground to be finally*eonverted into a pub- lic park—though this programme, I believe, is not yet absolutely‘decided on. The ground, which 1s tinely improved will cost about $50,- 600. ‘The City Council has appropropriated $2),- 006to defray the faneral expenses, Bishop Simpson will be invited to deliver the funeral discourse, and other eminent divines invited to assist.

The Government ‘were warned’ by the opgosition that the at- tempt to sustain Maximilian’s throne was likely to lead to war with the United States. The debate in the Belgium Chamber brought on & duel between & member and the Minister of War, in which the Minister was wounded. The Jeff. Davis privateer Tallahassee was in ee aboutto pass into the merchant service. The Shenandoah was under Goyern- ment surveillance at Melbourne, Australta. The London journals had heard of Grant’s advance, from his lines around Petersburg, and expressed, in consequence, very decided an- ticipations of Lee’s defeat and great “danger” to the rebel cause. Iti ssaid that tne College of Cardinals was discussing the question of advisability or the Pope's departure from Rome. Reports from St Petersburg state that the epidemic or “plague,” was declining, and thatthere were empty bedsin the hospitals. England still, however, enjoined greatsanitary vigilance in her ports. w7 It has transpired that the rebel Secretary of the Treasury, (Trenholm,) in connection witha rebel (Quartermaster and a Mr. Farn- ham, owned the controlling interest in some thirty-seven blockade runners, by wnich they amassed and deposited in safe placee in Europe over twenty millions in gold. Jeff. Davis was also interested in these erations. The exposition of these facts among the rebel leaders in Richmond has caused a great indjg- nation, though the excitement as yet is nothi to what may be expected when the delude people of rebeldom shall be made aware that the starvation prices, which they have been obliged to pay for the last two years, went directly into the pockets of the hypocritical bloodsuckers, who were sitting in the highest places of their pretended Government. PRESIDENT LINCOLN AND THE HEBREWS.— Rev. Dr. M. Wise, at the Jewish Synagogue in Cincinnati, on the 19th inst., made the fol- lowing singular statement about the late Pres. ident coin : «Brethren, the lamented Abraham Lincoln is believed to be bone from bone and flesh from our flesh, He was supposed to be a descendant of Hebrew parentage. He said this in my prenespes med an ueeds he preserved namer- ous oO lebrew race, botn e tenance snd character.” % ie coun: es | atest from Richmond. JEFF. DAVIS SKEDADDLING FOR TEXAS WITH 4,000 REBEL CAVALRY. ———.__—__ A GLOOMY CAVALCADE. sieges ee JUDAH P. BENJAMIN, TRENHOLM, REAGAN & CO., IN THE CROWD. SSS eae We are favored by Capt. Young, of the mail boat James T. Brady, forthe Richmond Whig of yesterday, frem which paper we take the following: Jetfersen Davis. Great curiosity ig naturally feft North and South to learn what has become of Jefferson Davis, the head and front of the greatest rebel- lion the world Nas yet seen. He vanished from Richmond under cover of the night of April 2d; on the 5th he turned up in Danville, where he tarried just long enough to issue as a@ proc- lamation one of Mr. Judah P. Benjamin's lu- cubrations, and then again dicappoerca. SINCE that time there has been numerous conjectares as to his fate. From Savannab, via Baltimore, the report came to us that he had reached Ma- con, Georgia, on the 10th instant. It occurred to us he had made extraordinarily good time between Danville and that point, but not being satisfied what feats of flighta man in his cir- cumstances might not accomplish when fear lent Wings to his heels, we published the ru- mor without comment. Subsequently, by ad- vices trom Newbern, N.C, via Washington, we heard that he was with Johnston’s army, at Hillsboro’, on the North Carolina Railroad, west of Raleigh, on or about the 1ith. We credited this report at thetime, and have now the means of knewing that it was correct, hay- ing just received, through a trustworthy source, authentic intelligence from that portion of North Carolina, whieh throws light upon Davis’ movements and explains why he was not intercepted by Stoneman, who, on the 12th took Salisbury, which is one hundred miles south west of Hillsboro’ by the line of the North Carolina Railroad. “Davis was at Hillsboro’ from the 12th to the Mth instants. He then went by rail to Greensboro’, whence, with an escort of two thousand picked cavalry, selected from Hamp- ton’s and Wheeler’s commands, he started on horsebaek for the far South, taking the country road due south to Ashboro’.and Cheraw. By this route he left Salisbury and Stoneman forty miles to hisright. From Cheraw he probably struck southward to Columbia, South Coroli- na, from which place the country was open before him until he reached the lines of Gens. Wanby and Wilson. His one object now is to escape to the Trans-Mississippi, and he can- not regard himself out of extreme danger until hehasrun the gauntlet of the United States armies now operating in Alabama. These two thoueand horsemen form to-day a gloomy cavalcade as they toil aiong thesouthern sandy roads under a southern sun. Perhaps they are cheered by the teeling that they bear Cesar and his fortunes; they certainly cover all that is left of the so-called Confederate Government, and themselves compose the only organized force that Davis has on this side of the Missis- sippiriver. Davis, Breckinridge, Trenholm, Benjamin, St. John and Reagan all ride in the center of this forlorn band; and how many un- derstrappers keep their company it 1s bootless to know. They bear with them no affection of the people of Richmond, though they have left us & lasting memento in the charred and black- ened ruins of the fairest portion of our beauti- ful city.” Horrible Explesion and Loss of Life in Danville—A Raid on the Commissary Department. From a gentleman of intelligence, who has reached this city on toot from Danville, we have some interesting particulars of events that occurred there after the surrender of Gen. Lee’s army. When this event bécame known in the town and surrounding country, a crowd of citizens of all classes, ages and colors, and 8 large number of soldiers, collected around the buildings in which were stored immense quantities Of commissary stores, and after a shcrt deliberation, made a general rush upon the establishments. The parties in charge of the stores at first attempted to resist the mob, but were quickly forced to desist and seek their own safety in flight. The individuals of the mob scattered throughout every part of the buildings, each one plundering according to his or her fancy. In one of the buildings, it appears, there was a large quantity of ammu- nition, gunpowder in kegs and percussion caps. The soldiers and country people swarmed around the powder eager to secure it for fowl- ing purposes. While they were thus engaged, by some means fire was communicated to the powder, and in an instant the building and its contents, including over fifty persons, were blown to atoms. This horrible tragedy for a time puta check upon the plundering, which, however, was soon recommenced, but with somewhat more circumspection. Ex-Gov. Extra Billy Smith was in Danville when ourinformant left. He had been vapor- ing a good deal about his determination neyer to surrender, saying that sooner than succumb he would turn bushwhacker, guerrilla, or #omething of thatsort. Notwithstanding this, our informant learned, just before leaving, that Extra Billy had sent a flag of truce to General Meade, the object of which had not transpired ‘We may mention, in this connection, the report which has obtained circulation here that the citizens of Lynchburg elther requested or com- pelled the Ex-Governor to leave their town. __ From Petersburg. Some residents of Petersburg have been in this city during the past two days. From them we are pleased to learn that all of the promi- nent citizens of the town are readily taking the oath of allegiance, Perfect order and quiet are preserved, and the people are in all respects happier than they have been at any time within the past lour years. _ The Poor of Richmond. Gen. Ord announces that it is not intended that assistance furnished to the poor of Rich- mond, by the United States autkorities, within the last fortnight, shall be permanent. Work is to be provided for all, and those who do not avail themselves of the opportunity to work, Will be deprived of rations. 2 All destitute persons, white or colored, who have come in from the country are directed to return to their homes where there is abundance of work and where work will produce food. It has been announced to the authorities that instances have occurred of persons drawing rations when they where already supplied with food. Similar cases will be summarily and severely punished. It is intended to sup- ply none but those who are absolutely desti- tute, and who are unable to obtain work. It is also brought to the attention of the au- thorities that men and women of the vagrant sort upon not receiving the amount of supplies or the ration tickets that they claimed, hae threatened the lives of the visitors who were engaged in investigating their cases. The promptest punishment will be meted ont to any guilty of this offence; men will be placed in irons, and women in close confinement at once. While the United States authorities is anxious to relieve entire the suffering existing here, it is equaliy determined not to allow its beneyo- lence to be abused or misapplied. THE PROMPT and laconic manner in which Secretary Stanton summed up the case against General Sherman's agreement with the rebel Jo. Johnston, entitles him to a new vote of thanks from the people. Had Sherman’s “Basis of Peace” been published with the ex- planatory notes of the Secretary of War, thous- nds would have been caught or confounded by them, and incredible efforts would have been necessary to correct publicopinion. There was such an incisive keenness and clearness in the nine short paragraphs of Mr. Stan. ton, however, that they were accepted and elaborated by nearly all the Shel Ts.0f the country, and cut right through the whole fabric of negotiation woven by the two Gen- erals. Nothing that Mr. Stanton has dona has been so immediately productive of good to the cause, and nothing more triumphantly vindi- cates his vigorous and pe habit of dealing with grave questions. That the people should full understand the merits, or rather demerits of Sherman’s negotiation, and have almost Posnimonel eoneamned it, it is mainly attri- manner in which Stan and ventilated it—Chronicle. eee ed AE tinh abe THE Russian PLaGuE.—Evident efforts aré being made in various ways to quiet thegen- eral alarm felt at the reports of the plague now raging in Russia, The only ststement, however, which seems to he of scientific value and to much authority, is that tained in the letter of H, B.

Davis Ce: ted—Wa Hampten Stands Out—President’s Assassination Known. i The correspondent,of the New York Tribune with Sherman's army writes as follows from Raleigh on the isth instant in relation to the conference between Sherman and Johnston. At will be seen that even the correspondents Were ignorant of the terms or “memorandum” agreed upon, and such being the case, it proves that tne army must also be t of the hu- miliation their commander would subject them to were his memorandum agreed by Government. It will iO be observed that the Presideut’s assassination was known to Sherman at the time of the conference. Ra zicH, N. U., April 18, 1805.—After a two days’ conference between Major General Sher- man and Major General Joseph E. Jonnston, commanding the Rebel torces east of the Missis- sippi river, with the concurrence of Jefferson Davis, and in the presence and with the advice of General John O. Breckinridge, the whole remaining Rebel army from the Potomac to the Rio Grande has been surrendered to the forces of the United States. As I have weet f stated, the conference was sought by General Johnston on the day fol- lowing the occfipation of Raleigh by the Union army—the l4th—a flag of truce being sent in, With a request for an armistice, and a state- ment of the best terms on which General Johnston wonld be permitted to.surrender the army under his command. General Sherman sent out Colonel McOoy with his ultimatum, and after some two days’ delay, during which General Johnston's efforts were somewhat embarrassed by the refractory and mutinous posiiion of Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, @ persoral interview took place between the two chiefs of the opposing armies, at Bennett's house, five miles beyond rham’s Sfation, on the cee Carolina railroad, midway between the lines. The conference was strictly private, only ‘Wade Hampton being present with General . di Fenton ne ret ay. ones yee on the ‘kinri: Second ‘day, 'nesday. The omly members of the rebel staff present were Captains Johneton and Hampton, the latter a son of the rebel South Carolinian, and @ chip of the old block. The Generals were treated with in their char- acters as simply commanders of the insurrec- tionary forces. The Southern Confederacy was not recognized, although Jefferson Davis ‘was urderstood to be a party consenting to the surrender. Wade Hampton is understood to have withdrawn from the conference, and signified his intention, like the Irishman, to continue the fight on his own hook, which, it is devoutly hoped, he will do. If he and South Carolina have not enough of the war, they can readily be treated to another dose. The terms settled for the surrender are un- derstood to be substantially those accorded to General Lee by General Grant, with this ex- ception, that the troops of each State are re- quired to march to their respective capitals and then turn over their arms, and all the public property in their possession, and be pa- roled under the supervision of officers to be cesignated for that purpose. Thus, the army is to be disbanded, and each soldier is required to return home and not again to take up arms against the Government. The officers, like those of General Lee’s army, are permitted to carry with them their side arms and private effects These terms are subject to the ap- proval of the Washington Government, and only to go into effect npon such ratification. Meantime the two armies maintain their re- spective positions, and all hostilities cease— until the return of the messenger of Gen. Sher- man, who has already proceeded to Washing- ton with the stipulations, of which the fore- going is a brief outline. This sweeps from existence as an armed force against the Government all the rebel troops known to the Confederacy, and makes outlaws and guerillas of all parties who re- main in arms against the constituted authori- ties; the forces of Kirby Smith west of the Mississippi: all the irregular cavalry and roving bands in Texas, Missouri and else- where; the garrison at Mobile and at other points in Alabama and Southern Tennessee— all troops of whatever name and nation who have been rangedon the side of the rebellion, whether as belonging to any recognized com- mander, or playing the guerilla upon their own hook for private plunder. General Johnston expresses deep and ap- parently sincere sorrow and much concern at the assassination of President Lincoln, in which he was joined by each Oonfederate offi- cer present. eneral Johnston regards itas the most terrible blow yet inflicted upon the Confederate cause and the Southern people, and seems deeply to deplore the event, coming as it does upon the close of the great struggle. I must close my despatch to have it ready for the first train to Newbern and Beaufort in the morning. I shall send it through to Washington by a gentleman going straight through. In obedience to the call of the Mayor, a spon- taneousand very fal meeting of the citizens of Raleigh assembled at the Court House this ternoon, at four o'clock, to give expression to their feelings upon the sad and dreadtul event which has robbed the South and the whole country ot thelr best friend. The Mayor, Mr. W. H. Harrison, and Mr Badger read the resolutions to the meeting. Upon putting them to vote, there was a full and unanimous aye upon their adoption. Johnston’s immediate command is supposed to be: infantry, 25,000 men; cavalry, 10,000 men; total, 35,000 men. According to the following paragraph Sher- man proposed to leave the Unionists of the South to the mercy of the rebels, with thearms in their possession that he would allow them to take their State capitals. The statement that Sherman will mareh his army to Harris- burg amounts to nothing. He is subject to the orders of the President of the United States and the Lieutenant General, and cannot gratify his whims at will. It Is now settled that as soon as the ratifica- tion of the terms of surrender or capitulation of the rebel armies is made known from Wash- ington, General Sherman will march his army northward to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where it will be mustered out of service. Gen. Schofield, commanding the Depart- ment of North Carolina, will probable remain with the Army of the Ohio, to maintain order until affairs become settled in that State. An earnest wish Prevails among the citizens that our forces will continue to extend protection over them until the civilauthorities are fully established, and there is a chance for a free expression of the choice of the people, for their future rulers at the ballot-box. If the signs of the times indicate anything, they point to a complete overthrow of the unprincipled demagogues who have ruled the State. The prospects of peace and of anearly march home produce muc! repoibine, among the old soldiers of thearmy. They will go in light marching order, the heavy army material, such as ordnance stores, and all superfinous impediments, being sent by sea from Beaufort. But this is anticipating. No orders, of course, has yetbeen issued on the subject. The return of Col. Hitchcock, the bearer of despatches to Washington, will be looked for with intense interest. Already officers and menare oasting about them for the future in view of theirearly release from service in the army. JoszrPH SHAW KILLED AT WESTMINSTER, Mp.—We learn that the town of Westminster, ip Carroll county, was the scene of great ex- citement on Monday evening, resulting in the death of Joseph Shaw, late editor of the West- minster Democrat, whose office was destroyed about a week since by 3 vigilance committee, who ordered him to leavethe town. The de- struction of his paper, and his banishmentfrom Westminster, was caused by disloyal lan- guage used in his paper in relation to the Pres- ident and the Government, and alsoon account of haying led to ruin a simple-minded girl of the town. He returned to the townon Mon- day, in despite of public sentiment, and was ‘waited upon at the hotel of Mr. Zacharias by a delegation of citizens. He immediately opened the door and commenced tring with a revolyer, wounding Mr. Henry Bell in the hand. The firing was returned by the party, and resulted in the death of Shaw. The ex- citement in the town was, of course, yery great.—Balt American, AN INFERNAL MaCHINE. —Phijadelphia hi asensation ina report to dlow up the co used in the funeral ceremonies of President.
