BUFFALO, April 27.—Erroneous statements made in the press render it necessary to say, on the authority of the embalmer and under- taker, that no Particular change has taken lace in the body of the late President since leaving Washington, Washington physicians removed part of the brain only for autopsy, but this was replaced, sothatno part of the body whatever is now deficient. The remains were visited through the day from half-past nine this morning until eight o’clock this evening by immense numbers of persons. The arrangements generally are Pronounced better than else where on the route. The procession with the remains left St. James Hall about 845,and were escorted to the depot by the military, followed by 8 large crowd. The depot was surrounded by per- sons anxious togeta last view of the coffin. The train left about 10 for Cleveland. EXCITEMENT IN PHILADELPHIA. Arrest of a Noted Secessionist—His Re- fusal 1 legize for e Speech— Pursuit Him by a Crowd ef Peeple— He Draws a Revolver Upon Them—The Police Save Him -from Personal Vio— ler-e—HMe is Locked Up in Default of Ba... PHILADELPHIA, April 27.—Abont 9 a. m., Edward Irgersoll, who delivered a strong secession speech a few days since in New York, was waited upon by a committee of citi- vens, on aiighting from the railroad train at 9th and Green stree‘s, and was requested to apolo- gize for the speech. This he refused to do,and drew arevolver from his pocket, but was un- able to fire it before he was knocked down and very badly injured, cut and beaten. He was then arrested and held in two thousand dollars bail fer assault and battery, and carrying con- cealed deadly wearons. A committee of the citizens have waited upon the Mayor to have the bail increased to ten thousand dollars. ¢ Irgersoll 1s regarded as one of the chiefs of the disloyal party in this city. s LATER. Charles Irgersoll offers to go Bail, and is very badly Beaten—The Lives of Rebel Sympathizers Hardly Safe. PHILADELPHIA, April 27.—This afternoon, Charles Irgersoll, brother of Edward, and a notorious sympathizer with the rebellion, went to Spring Garden Hall for the purpose of going bail for his brother. On descending from his carriage he was set on by the populace and very badly beaten. He took refuge in the Hall, and subsequently was conveyed to his home. Several prominent secessidnists propcsed to visit the Hall this afternoon, to consult with Mr. Irgersoll, but were warned not to do so, and desisted. fi The excitement on the subjectruns high, and in the present state of the public mind, the lives of rebel sympathizers can hardly be said to be sate, STON AN’S COMMAND. Capture of Rebel Prisoners and Artillery— Destruction of an Important Bridge— Effect ef Sherman's Armistice, &c, KNOXVILLs, April 27.—Since the last intelli- gence from Stoneman’s command, the follow- ing isa summary of what it has accomplished: One portion of the command, under Colonel Palmer, moved down the Catawba river, dis- persing parties going southwest from John- ston’s army. It captured upwards of two thousand prisoners and two pieces of artillery, 1 among Other things destroyed was an im- se railroad bridge over the Catawba river, 5 feet long and 60 feet high. Then, learn- ..g thata general armistice had been entered into between Sherman and Johnston, Colonel Paimer ceased operations. Other portions of the command, under General Gillem, attacked and routed the rebel force under Major Gener- al McGowan at Morgantown, taking one piece of artillery, and afterward forcing a passage through the Bine Ridge, held by the rebel forces under General Martin, taking six pieces of artillery. This wouid have captured or dispersed the whole force, had not General Giliem been met by General Martin with a flag of truce, and bearing a letter from General Sherman, countersigned by General Johnston, and directed to General Stoneman, ordering a general suspension of hostilities. FROM NEW ORLEANS. Report About the Surrender of Dick Tay- lor’s Army—Immense Destruction of Cotton at Montgomery, Ala. NEw ORLEANS, April 23, via CAIRO, April 27.—It is reported that General Dick Taylor will surrender his army to General Canby, if favorable terms be granted. Another blockade-ranner recently ran into Galveston, somewhat damaged by one of our gunboats. General Canby arrived this morning from Mobile. A despatch, dated Montgomery, April 11, says the rebels, under the command of Dan Adams and Buford, commenced evacuating on Tuesday evening. Two hours before the arrival of the Union army, Buford, commanding the rearguard, ordered 95,000 bales of cotton tobe bursed. It was done, despite the protest of the citizens, The Federals destroyed the steamers King, Augusta, and Shiner, on the Alabama river. The Little Cherokee was also burned on the Talahoosa by parties unknown. The Federals destroyed all the railroad de- pots, works, and rolling mills; private prop- ety was unmolested. Two meetings were held to-day to express sorrow over the death of Mr. Lincoln. Addresses were made by Gen- erals Banks and Hurlbut, and James T. Bra- dy, Esq., of New York. Capture of a Rebel Colonel. LovIsvILie, April 26.—Captain Boyd, with adetachmentof State troops, captured, this evening, near Versailles, Colonel Joseph Hanke, of the rebel army. Fingucial. From the N. Y. Commercial, April 27th.] ‘he stock market continues to exhibit a strong upward tendency. At the first board the transactions were large, and throughout at higher figures. Governments are especially firm. ‘The Af- rica’s news, of an advance of five-twenties to 66% in London, bas removed all expectation of areturn of the bonds, and there is now a gen- eral] disposition to buy in anticipation of a fur- ther advance. Some of the more prominent dealers anticipate an advance to 75 in London when the full significance of our late victories is understood; and itis not easily shown that this view is over sanguine In railroad stocks, Erie, Reading and Mich- igan Southern were most active The news by the steamship Africa has checked the upward tendency in foreign ex- change. The large advance in Five-twenties has removed the apprehension of return ship- ments of bonds ; and the drawers have, conse- quently, reduced their quotations; or where they have not done so are unable tosell. The highest sales of sterling we hear reported this morning are 1934, without commission, for 60 care bills. The demand shows a disposition to hesitate until the full effect of the rise in Five-twenties abroad is developed. There is reason for expecting further shipments of bonds from this side, which would increase the sup- Pre exchange. ‘he weakness of exchange reacts upon the gold market, and the premium shows adecline of 3,a8 compared with the*highest figure of esterday. The speculative movement is mere- ly nominal. and it becomes more apparent every day thatthetimesof wild ventures in gold are past, the chances being altogether too tame to tempt the class of adventurers who formerly frequented the room. oney continues 8 2 pipes peat and the rates of interesteasy. The demand is active, but the supply is ahead of it, and the rate on call tends toward lower figures. On ordinary collaterals, the rate for call loans is generally 5 per cent; on Government collaterals, 421i per cent. eA man in Philadelphia, on Wednesday, distributed to the people in the streets slips of muslin, with these words printed on them, “Pardon died with Abraham Lincoln.” s7 The rental of the Unitarian church at San Francisco fon the present year is $70,000.

LATEST FROM RICHMOND. ‘We have the Richmond Whig of yesterday, centaining the following: Reported Escape of Jefferson Davis, Under this heading some of our northern ex- changes have a telegram from New Urileans, dated the 18th inst., stating that itis reported that Jeff. Davis crossed the Mississippi river at Tinkers Bend, accompanied by Texas cav- alry, on the night of the i6th, escaping the ob- servation of ournavalforce. Thereisno trath in this report We,on yesterday, published the facts concerning the departure of Davis from Greensboro, N.C., on the ith. There are gentlemen now in this city who saw him there on the 13th. He and his Cabinet and principal military and civil officers rode South from Greensboro on the morning of the Lith, under the escort of about two thousand picked eavalry. There can be but one doubt that he will make for the Trans-Mississippi, and that is suggested by the fact that his follow- ers openly proclaimed that to be their destina- tion. The work of removing the remains of Union soldiers from Oakweod and other cemeteries is continued by friends and relatives from the North. Where the grayes have been marked with the name of deceased, number of regi- ment, &c., the removal is not a very difficult maiter, but where this precaution has been neglected, as is the case in many instances, great trouble and perplexity arises. ‘Were the Uonfederate Government recog- nized to-morrow, and were it possible for that government to resume its functions in every department, it would be a government without & record, and would speedily arrive at chaos. Documents before deemed of the highest im- portance are whirled about the streets upon every gustof wind; like leaves of autumn they choke the gutters. Bundles of records are hawked about the streets, and sold in the sutler stores for wrapping paper; old ledgers and day books from the Treasury and Auditor's offices, half filled, are made to perform another service in 8 commercial way, in the shop and counting-room. Pay-rolls of the Confederate army, paid and unpaid, half burned, are bundled off to the paper mill to be converted into virgin paper again. The flooding of the world in the days of Noah did not more effes- tually drown ont and wash away the record of the people that lived then, than did the evac- uation and burning of Richmond destroy the Confederate claim to a government. The evacuation must have come upon the Confed- erate rulers as suddenly as did the flood, else more would have been saved and less put out of existence. As itis, the great problem of a separate Southern Confederacy, which Jeff. Dayis and his clerks were working out over innumerable reams of foolscap, has come to naught, been dashed by the sponge of fate, and nothing remains, if the problem is to be per- sisted in, but to wipe out the slate and com- mence anew, dating the Southern Contederacy and its records from a new era and a new birth. it is an old household maxim that «three moves are as bad as a fire;” but with the Confederate Government one move and a fire did the business. FROM SOUTH CAROLINA. The News of the Assassination—Speech of Ex-Governor Aiken. A deep and profound sensation is reported to have been caused in Charleston, among all classes of citizens, by the painful intelligence of the assassination of President Lincoln. All over thecity places of business were closed and draped in mourning. By order of Admi- ral Dahigren, minute guns wero dred from the various United States vessels. A very large meeting was held at Hibernian Hall on the 2ist instant, for the purposeof ex- presing their condemnation of the recent con- spiracy at Washington. Thehall was crowded to its utmost capacity. The meeting was pre- sided over by ex-Governor Aiken,and speeches ‘were made by Dr. Mackey, Mr. Phillips, Mr. Seymour, and several others. A series of res- olnotions were unanimously adopted, in which they severely denounced the base conspirators, and tendered condolence to the bereaved fam- ily ot President Lincoln. The following is Governor A1ken’s speech: Fellow-Citizens: We are assembled to pour out the general grief which kas been felt in this city tor the sudden removal from this life of Abraham Lincoln, late President of the United States. The horrible and atrocious assassina- tion of President Lincoln has filled every feel- ing heart with sorrow and indignation I dia not know, personally, the late President, but those who did have spoken of him in the kind- est manner to me; bis heart was benevolent and forgiving, and we are told,and havyerea- son to believe, through him our difficulties would coon have been adjusted and peaceonce more restored to our distracted country. Our expressions of disgust for the dastardly wretch who conld have conceived and execu- ted such a diabolical deed can scarcely be ut- tered. Murder is always appalling, but more particularly so in this momentous crisis of our country—now our most anxious moment. Can it be believed thatin the nineteenth century & human being could be found to have in his bosom so diabolical an idea, and with an accomplice, enter the sick bed room of another eminent and distinguished personage, the Secretary of State, and plunge intohis bosom the deadly weapon! The heartsickens at the recital of such horrors. We sympathize with the late President’s family and that of Mr. Seward. May the Almighty stretch over them the hand of mercy, and enable them to bear the sad bereavement with pious humility. At this critical jancture of our national af- fairs our thoughts are naturally turned to the Vice President now President of the United States, Andrew Johnson. When the people of Charleston district did me the honor ef making me their representative in Congress, I met there Mr. Johnson, of Tennessee. I now take pleasure in stating that1 soon became acquainted with him, and found hima most intelligent man. He soon impressed me in the House by his oratory and his arguments in debate, as one of the most talented men there: and it is no little praise to say so, when such a man as Stephens, of Georgia,saton the same floor, and other prominent persons from the diferent States of the Union. Ihave the most entire confidence ir his ability to administer the Government true and faith- tully, having the Constitution of our country ae bis true guide. May a gracious Providence in His mercy direct his ways towards peace, and let us, again, under the folds of the American flag, once more and forever, be one and indivisible. A gentleman trom Bordeanx gives an in- teresting piece of information. Some United States army contractors have made contracts for Bordeaux “wine” which, independent of the wood, freight, duties, &c., isto cost a lite less than two sous a bottle. Of course, there is not a particle of wine used in its composi- tion, which is beet root brandy, water, color- ing matter and some astringent. This nourish- ing and healthful compound is propanly: to be used as hospital stores,and served out to conva- lescent soldiers, or to be sold by sutlers tothem at the rate of two dollars per bottle. It would be a righteous act for the government to seize the whole of this execrable stuff, and make the importers drink the whole of it. &7- The audience of the National Theater, in Cincinnati, last Saturday night, were favored with a novel performance, not in the bills. The play, @ new one, proving a failure, the author and manager appeared at the footlights, alleging that the actors had not followed the text. Nextan actress appeared, and declared some portions ot the text too vulgar to be used. The author retorted, reinforcements came to the support of the actress, and the manager rang down the curtain. In the midst of the excitement the gas was turned off, and the au- dience finally groped its way out in darkness.

Fall Particulars ef his Arrest—Re- marks and Demeaner of the Prisen We published yesterday @ statement of the Arrest in this city, of Junius Bratus Beoth, a brother of the assassin of President Lincoln. We append the following particulars counect- ed with the affair, which we know to be & true Version of the story. An order for the arrest ef Booth was re- Wane ey yh, from the authorities at head arpaneton, and its scam was voltiteod . Kru \7 Fourth District of Philadelphia “About three o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Krupp pro- ceeded to the residence of a relative of Booth’s, in the western part of the city, where he Booth) was stopping, and after obtaining an interview with him, informed him that he had @ warrant for his arrest in irons, and instruc- tuons to convey him to Washington. Booth seemed for 8 moment dumbfounded at the announcement, but soon after said: © Do you know if it is in regard tothatletter!” The officer not being there to answer questions, Rare htm no satisfaction, but informed him at although he had authority to take him in irons, he would dispense with the use of them. Booth thanked him, and ina te of consid- erable agitatien pre, to e the house at once. The twain proceeded on foot to the sta- tion-house, 13th and Brandy wine streets, where Booth remained for several hours. While there he employed part of his time in copying extracts from the Bible, some of which were from the forty-ninth Psalm. He appeared at limes wrapped in thought and somewhat de- jected. During the evening he was conveyed in @ carriage to the Baltimore depot, and left in compary with officer Krapp in the eleven o’clock train. He had little to say during the trip, but at one time remarked that he «wished John had been killed before the assassination, for the sake of the family name,” &c. Arriving af Washington at 64 a.m.on Wednesday, he was furnished with a good breakfast, and at nine o’clock was taken to the War Department During a brief examination before the Judg- Advocate, Booth stated that the published ac- courts of the contents of the letter alluding to the oil business contained a different phrase- ology trom what he had written, and he de- sired to have the whole letter published. After an interview at tbe War Department he was taken to the Old Capitol Prison, where he was safely quartered at five minutes of 4 o’clock, having been kept at the War Department for several hours. Officer Krupp returned to this city yesterday, and sent by Adams’ Express & quantity of clothing, &c., to Booth, at his par- ticular request. Mr. Booth arrived in Philadelphia on Wed- nesday fast, from Cincinnatti, and kept his apartments closely, until the time of his ar- rest. On arriving in the city he notified Uni- ted States Marshal Millward of his presence and was visited by that officer er some of his deputies, but not interfered with. Before the arrest Booth frequently spoke of the oil letter. Speaking of the name ot *Alice”’ mentioned in it, he said he merely added a postscript in his letter to the assassin, requesting him to give his love to her, as the lady in question had frequently senthim such tokens in her cor- Tespondence. “Alice” is believed to be an actress employed in one of the theaters in Washington. There does not appear to have been anything unusual in the manner or demeanor of Janius during hisstay in this city, but he seemed at times concerned about what he calls the false construction put upon tne letter in question. Immediately before his arrest he was calm and apparently unconcerned and quietly engaged in smoking, evidently not anticipating any molestation. We learn that the assassin was in Pniladel- phia about the iitn of February last, and while with his relatives here frequently gave expression to his teelings of antipathy to the Government. He left here and went to New York, where he remained a short time and then proceeded to Washington, where he stayed until the fiendish purpose he had at heart was econsnmmated. His mother wrote to him re- questing him to come North, but he wrote word back that his time wasso occupied with his oil business in Washington that he could not leave. At times he expressed a strong desire to join the Southern army, but his relatives here dissuaded him from taking suct astep. He was born in Hartford county, Maryland.—- Philadelphia Inqutrer. TRE LATE GREEK SERVICES in Trinity Chapel, New York, haye occasioned @ great stir in religious circles. The American Pres- byterian attacks the Episcopalians for their course, and cites the following from the New York Freeman’s Journal, Abbe McMaster’s politico-religious sheet. The Journal says: “The service said in Trinity Chapel, calfea tohumbug the uninformed, ‘the Greek Lit- urgical rorehip” &nd ‘Divine service, according to the Greek rite,’ was simply, and in alt its parts. what we Catholics call Mass. It wasa consecration and adorotion of the Body and Blood ot our Lord, traneubstantiated, by the poor Rus- sian priest’s words, from the elements of bread and wine! It wasa service full of prayers to saints, praying for the souls of the departed, and recognizing the worship of relics and of images! By the way, did Papa Agapius show his ezeat to poor Bishop Potter? Did he show, Taoreover, any document authorizing him, in the name of the Schiematic Greco-Russian Church, to do what he did! We know it is impossible! Poorola Trinity has been hum- bugged, 88 80 many vanity-stricken tuft-hun- ters in soeial life, in this city, have been hum- bugged by bogus ‘counts’ and ‘marquisses !’ But Mass has been celebrated in Trinity’ That is a fact that cannot be gotten over!” The Church Journal (understood to be the organ of Bishop Potter), in an article replying to a charge of the Evangelist (Presbyterian) of last week—that in the Greek service at Trinity Chapel the Episcopal Church had fraternized with a Church which held to all the essential doctrines of the Church of Rome—sums up the case for the defence as follows : “The simplest truth is, that neither the Church of England nor our Uburch has ever adopted any legislation which would excinde evena thorongh Romanist from communion, if Le were only willing to present himself to receive it—and much less a member of the Oriental Communion, which has never been even censured by usinany respect. We do not exclude any person of any commun- ion, who holds the Catholic creed, and has been baptized and eonfirmed or is ready and desirous to be confirmed.” Tron-CiapD Fever.—Dr. Holden,of Newark, N. J., formerly ot the United States medical Service, at a recent meeting of the Essex Medi- cal Union, read an interesting paper on a pe- culiar disease, which has appeared on board our iron-clads. The disease, which was de- nominated ‘‘Iron-clad fever,” for the wantota name, never occurred anywhere else, or at least has never been before made the subject of report or record. 1t made its appearance soon after the first iron-clads were anchored in Southern harbors. It was very fatal, only about one-eighth of those attacked recovered. The earliest or prominest symptoms were the entire loss of voice, wit& pain in the head, neck and spine. Dissecfion proved that an important spinal nerve wasthe subject of disease. Great prostration was evident among these who were exposed, but were not thesub- jects of attack. Oases when not too far ad- vanced recovered when taken ashore. The disease wholly ceased when certain important improvements were introduced, accomplishing more perfect ventilation, and the water tanks were lined. Dr. Holden attributes the disease to the influence of theiron surroundings, and the use of the water so impregnated with iron Trustasto beofa dark red color, and thick consistence; also to the want of ventilation, which was probably the real cause. When more efficient means were adopted to force air into the cabins by use of the engine-blowers, the disease was no longer observed. ug Quite a panic was created among the visitors to view the catatalque and drapery in the House of Representatives at Harrisbarg on Saturday afternoon last, by the gas jets communicating tothe drapery on oneof the chandeliers, and setting fire to the same. T! flames rose with great rapidity and flercene: through the ventilator above, and only by the promptness of those present the fire was pre- vented from being communicated to other por- tions of the builging. &7 Decora. a famous Winnebago chief, died recently at Lincoln, Wis., aged 133.
