Ont of ten thousand regular physicians you can- Bot find ene who will not say that Stimulants and Invigorants are absolutely mecessary in medical practice. And yet In by-gone years humane prac- titioners have hesitated to administer them, be- cause the fiendish ingenuity of wretches who make merehandise 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.

Fortress Monroz, VaA., April 298.—The steamer Varuna arrived here this morning frem Morehead City, North Carolina, withim- portant despatches from General Grant, an- nouncing the surrender of General Johnston's army upon the same terms that were accorded to General Lee. The exact nature of ihe des- patches were unknown there when the steamer sailed, but, as they were immediately tele- graphed from this point to Washington, the public have doubtless ere this become ac- quainted wiih their full import. The arrival of Lieutenant General Grant must have had a salatary effect u| General Johnston, and proved to himand the decamping rebel au- thorities, who at last aecounts were in the midst of his army, that the Government was not disposed to yield to their unreasonoble de- mands. From recent accounts of the numbers of Gea. Johnston’s army, itis presumed thatin surren- dering he gives up to Gen. Grant even a more efficient and larger army than was surren- dered by General Lee. ith this surrender the formidable military organization of the re- bellion is extinguished. and truty indeed may we regard the final end of the war as rapidly approaching. ‘here seems to be very little hope of the cap- ture of Jeff Davis and his so-called Cabinet and immediate followers, to say nothing of the 313,000, 000 in gold stolen from the Richmond nks, At 4 o’clock this atternoon Col. Roberts, com- mandant of the fortress, fired a salute in honor of the surrender of General Jonnston’s Rebel army. The steamer Fairbanks, from Newbern, N. C., with some 500 soldiers and 50 officers, ar- rived here this morning. The Captain reports that on yesterday it was discovered that one of the efficers who took passage in her, Lieut. Lyman Baily, was missing, and is presumed to have fallen overboard unobserved and drowned. MOBILE, Immense Captures Made by Our Forces— Designto Assassinate Genl. Granger— Another Steamer Blown Up bya Torpedo —Proposed Surrender of Dick Taylor’s Command. New Yorks, April 30.—The Herald’s Mobile correspondent says our forces captured there 215 heavy guns, 2,000 stand of arms, and 20,000 bales of cotton, besides immense quantities of corn and other grain. It is also estimated that 100,000 bales of cot- ton and 75,000 barrels of rosin are hidden in the swamp along the Alabama, most of which is within reach of our forces. Over 10,000 stragglers from the rebel army have given themselves up. Gnuerrilla bands infest the neighborhood of our lines, A party of them went to the Battle House on the night of the 14th, intending to as- sassinate Gen. Granger, who fortunately was not there. The sleaporee: boat Rose was blown up bya torpedo on the Mth inst., killing 2 men and wounding 3. A dispatch, dated April 19, says an officer on Dick Taylor’s ¢' ‘had arrived atGen. Canby's headquarters, to Make terms for the surrender of Taylor’s command. THE CARASTEO FUE ON THE MISSIS- . All the Eastern Troops Saved. Sr. Lovis, April 29.—The officer in command of the paroled prisoners on the steamer Sul- tana, previously reported exploded above Mefphis, states that all the Eastern soldiers Were saved. The Democrat's Uairo special despatch says that the Sultana was going at an ordinary rate of speed atthe time the catestrophe occurred. The troops on board represented every State in the Union. CatRo, April 29._Seven hundred and eighty- six of those aboard the ill-fated Sultana, have been found alive. The loss is now estimated 8t 1,500. The Memphis hospitals are full of wounded from the Sultana, many being badly scaided and burned. An investigation in regard to the catastrophe is going on by order of Gen- eral Washburne. MOVEMENTS OF JEFF. DAVIS. He Passed Through Charlotte, N.C., on April 23—Hampton’s Cavairy Escorting Him—General Wilson Will Probably Prevent His Escape. New York; April 30th.—The Herald’s New- bern correspondent says that the last positive information of Jeff Davis’ movement was that he had passed through Charlotte on his way southward, escorted by a brigade of cavalry, paobably Wade Hampton’s,on the 23d instant. As General Wilson was at Macon on the 20th: and virtpally: “Dele all southern Georgia, the -thances are that Davis cannot escape. FROM ARKANSAS.

LovisviLix, April 29.—The following circu- Jar has just been issued : HEaDQuaRTsRs DEPARTMENT KENTUCKY, April 29, 1865.—The functions of civil courts in this department being to an extent suspended by martial law, makes it the. duty of officer to be scrupulously observant o: lic and individual safety, and to afford, as far as possible, complete protection to the people. The power of arrests will hereafter Sparingly be exercised, and be directed against only real offenders. There is no dignity or justice in pursuing foolish people for foolish words. There is no longer in this department hostile te the Goy- ernment an organization which deserves to be characterized asa military band. Those pa- trolling through the country are simply guer- rilla: and robbers, and are to be treated as such; and they will be allowed to surrender for trial, and the peopje in this department are to be protected without regard to color or birth- place. Complaints have reached these head- quarters of the beating of women for claiming the benefit of the amnesty oath, and the act of Congress freeing the slaves of all persons who have been in rebellion against the Govern- Ment of the United States, and who have aided or given comfort to thosein rebellion, and joint resolution freeing the wives aud chil- dren of enlisted men and others who have re- quested the right under the laws and the Ex- ecutive proclamation and militaryorders. All such persons are under the protection of the Government. Colored people without the laws, resolutions, proclamations, and orders referred td are free, und whether free or not, are to be protected from cruelty and oppression, in all cases when the state of the country and the organization and rules of civil tribunals will permit them to enforce justice. Offenders against local laws will be handed over to them for trial. In nocase, however, will any persons or court be allowed to deprive any one of his or ber liberty under acts, resolutions, proclama- tions, or orders above referred to, or to harass, by prosecution or otherwise, those who may assist them in earning a support or maintain- ing their rights, By command of Maj. Gen. John M. Palmer. J. Bates Dickson, Capt. and A. A. G. FROM THE MISSISSIPPI. Escape of a Rebel Ram down the Red River—It Passes All our Monitors—Sup- posed to be Bound to Havana—Supposi- tions that Jeff. Davis 1s on Board. MEMPHIS, April 28, (via Cairo, April 29.)— The Vicksburg Herald extra, 25th, has a dis- patch dated off mouth of Red river. April 23, Stating that at nine o’clock this morning the famous ram Webb ran out of Red river, pass- ing all the gunboats and iron-clads here and descending the Mississippi river with lightning speed. PWhen first discovered she had no lights nor emitted any smoke, and approached like a huge black maes. She was fired on by the Manhattan, when she immediately showed signs of life. She passed the Manhattan, who signalled the Lafayette, and started in pursuit. Officers of the Manhattan estimate the speed of the Webb at twenty-five miles per hour when passing them. The steamer Saratoga, from New Orleans, met the Webb at Tunica Bend, ten miles below. The rebel steamer then attempted to run down the Saratoga, but was unsuccessful, and continued down. It is be- lieved she intends destroying our commerce on the Mississippi, and probably make an attempt to escape to the gult. Some assert that Jeff. Davis is yery probably on board, and maging his escape to Havana or ether foreign port. 1f nothing happens to the Webbshe can reach New/;Orleans at daylight, and the mouth of the Mississippi by noon. General Washburne’s order declaring that after the 25th of April Coniederate soldiers within his district will be regarded as felons, and not as prisoners of war, is having a salu- tary effect. Great numbers are surrendering. The steamer Dolphin repotts meeting the ram W-bb five miles above New Orleans 6.30 @.m.,@n the 2ith. She was then going along without doing any damage to boats of any ind. ‘ The telegraph wire leading to New Orleans is cut. FROM NURTH CAROLINA. Enthusiastic Reception of Gen. Grant by Sherman’s Army—Further Particulars of Johnston’s Surrender—Beauregard and Hardee among the Officers, Ngw York, April 30.—The Herald’s New- bern correspondent of the 27th says, the lamen- tations of Sherman’s army, over the assassina- tion of President Lincoln, were suddenly changed to rejoicings at the appearance of Gen. Grant. His old army of the Tennessee were wild with joy. The terms granted to Johnston’s army em- braced four armies of the military division of the west, but excluded the fitth, that of Dick Taylor, lying west of the Chattahoochieriver. Among the Generals surrendered was Beaure- gard. ‘The principal ong among the Lieuten- ant Generals is Hardee. Bragg was lately relieved of command; and ‘Was not surrendered. Wade Hampton refused to surrender, and is ment of th: reported to have been shot by Johnston, in an altercation, but more trustworthy information is that he fled in company with Davis. The number actually surrendered 1s 27,400, although more names are giyen. All the militia from South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and the Gulf States, are included. é FROM EUROPE. Effect of Late American Advices, Canonization of Beet The reportorial Jenkise, of as New York newspaper, has ontdone in disgusting and contemptible efforts to elevate a vile and despicable assassin to the rank of a hero. Wer expect next to hear of the c of Booth and of his occupying an exalted rank among the saints in the Rebel Galendar. Asa fisen of the dems ‘ascent into realms of poesy, plain prose not being g00d ° enough for such a id embodiment of Nignctdnea noblity ne Wilkos Becta ey ane sent our readers an extract: bade ai Conger, slip- straws Ere he ceased speaking, Col. ing aronnd totherear, drew Sarcagh acraek, and lita match among thear; they were dry and blazed up in an instant, carrying a sheeet of smoke and flame through the psrted planks, and heaving in a twinkling a world of lightand heat wpon the magazine within. The blaze lit up the black recesses of the great barn tillevery wasp’s nest and cob- web in the roof was luminous, flinging streaks of red and violet across the tumbled farm gear in the corner, plo barrows, rakes, hoes, sugar mills, and mak if every grain in the ae bin adjacent gleam like amoteof precious gold. They tinged the beams, the upright col- umns, the barricades, where clover and timo- thy, piled high, held toward the hotincendiary their separate straws for the funeral pile, . They bathed the murderer’s retreat in a beau- tifal ilinmination, and while in bold outline | his figure stood revealed, they rose like an im- penetrable wall to guard from sight the nated enemy wholitthem. Behind the blaze, with his eye to acrack, Conger saw Wiikes Booth standing upright upon & crutch. He tikens_ bim at this instant to his brother Edwin, whom he says heso much resembled that he half believed forthe moment the whole pur- suittohave beena mistake. At the gleam of the fire Wilkes dropped his crutch and carbine, and en both hands crept up to the spot to espy the incendiary and shoot him dead. His eyes were lustrous like fever, and swelled and rolled in terrible beauty, while his teeth were fixed, and he wore the expression of one in the calmness before frenzy. In vain he peered with vengeance in his look; the blaze that made him visible concealed his enemy. A second he turned glaring:at the fire, as if to Jeap upon it and extinguish it, butithad made such headway that this was a futj#e impulse and he dismissed it. As calmly as upon the battle fleld a yeteran stands amidst the hail of ball and shell, and plunging iron, Booth turned at & man’s stride, and pushed for the door, sar- bine in poise, and the last resolve of death, which we name despair, set on his high blood- less forehead As co he dashed, intent to ex- pire not unaccompanied, a disobedient ser- geant at an eye-hole drew upon him the fatal bead. The barn was all glorious with confla- gration and in the beautifal ruin this outlawed man strode like all that we know of wicked valor, stern in the face of death. A shock, a shout, a gathering upof his splendid figure, as if to outtip the statare God gave him,and John Wilkes Booth fell headlong to the floor, lying there in a heap, 4 little life remaining.” It fg greatly to be regretted that Booth came to his death by a musket ball instead of a rope; is instead of being ignominiously executed cn the scaffold he made his exit amid the blaze of impromptu pyrotechnics; that any eoler whatever ehould be given to writers of the romantic school for such ineffable bosh as has already been foisted upon the public. If in- stead of being overtaken finally and com- pletely by avenging justice he had been spared —as he might have been and should have been spared by his captors—to comply with the re- quirements of the law, his trial and execution would not have afforded so many details for poetic embellishment. These sensational scrib- blers would not have found in the qualities of hemp the same amount of material for the man- ufacture of talse sentiment to pervert the minds of morbidly susceptible peopie. and to invest ascoundrei witha mock halo of virtues and graces which he never possessed in his best moments, and never dreamed of im his life. We complain justly of such an unwarrantabie infliction upen our patience. There is nothing either in the life or the death of this assassin to admire. His whole history is a history of libertinism, baseness and dishonor. Any ate tempt to illumine a lifetime of shame and mise conduct isa wretched sham If he had had any redeeming qualities, he has swamped them all by acrime whose magnitude is not par- alleiled in the annals of human events. If there is €acurse here or hereafter worse than that of Ernulphus or Kehama, he is entitled to it. He has lefta name infamous beyond ex- pression. “Dowered with the hate of hate, the scorn of 8CcOr! corn,’ and any apology for his damning misdeeds should be crushed forever. Let him take his place where he belongs; let the evil he has done live atter him; anti let not those whom he has so foully wronged, the good and true and loyal men of the whole nation, be sickened ‘with pitiful attempts te make & martyr of a villain, to array in the garb of a hero a mon- ster of crime, and to surround with fragrant flowers and rainbow colors the exit of one who died like a dog, and whose dishonored remains sre consigned to a nameless grave.—Baltimore American. Secretary Stanton. There is no one member of the Cabinet about whom public opinion has been s though gradually changing, as in ri Secretary of War, The faults which appeared in the beginning of his administration—his im- pulsiveness in public action, and his some- times harsh treatment of individuals—are being forgotten in the splendor of his successes and the integrity of his adminstration. If Mr. Stanton is impulsive now it isalways on the side of liberty against oppression, or it is against some gigantic crime, or in his eager- ness tothrow his own tremendous force of character and mind into military movements which seem to him sluggish or hesitating. His acts of revolutionary energy and arbitrary power &re not confined to punishing petty trai- tors, but to the arrest and punishment of more conspicuous criminals in peculiar crisis of af- fairs. His prompt remoyal of General Butler and his immediate renewal of the attack on Wilmington were grand and suecessful in- stances of his “revolutionary energy.” The recent prompt, but most trenchant state- ie grounds of disapproval of General Sherman's negotlations, show Mr. Stanton’s intellectual force and his deep earnestness in the national cause in the best light. We be- lieve the whole country felt a certain sense of relief and security, when that manifesto ap- peace: atthe thonght of two such vigorous auds at the helmas Mr. Stantons and Mr. Jconson’s But the highest glory of the Secretary of War, on the page of history, will be his remarkable New York, jApril 30.—The steamship City | Powers of organization and the entire integrity of ey) from Liverpool April 20, has ar- rived.

When we call to mind what, forinstance, the organization of the English campaign in the Crimea was, when the armies were only afew miles from a water base, and the problem was for the greatest naval power in the world to feed and clothe and medically care for 30,000 ™men; the inextricable confasion, the want ef rations, of stores, clothes and medicine, the sufferings of those brave men from this most stupid want of business capacity in the offi- cials, until the Crimean campaign became a spectacle to the worid for its misery and stu- idity, and then reflect that for four years far, ‘taniton and his officials have been feeding, clothing, arming and taking medical care of some 800,000 men each year, transporting them with great rapidity thousands of miles on the sea and by land, and that no instance has oc- eurred of short supplies or irregular transpor- tation, or deficient clothing or arming, or jen any large scale) a want of medical sapps is everyting seeming to be just where it was needed, we must admit that somewhere in our Macon, Atlanta, and | Military service there has been agreat organiz- ing brain. ‘More than this; never, we believe, were such vast sums of money spent so honestly and economically, so far as the department could control the expenditure. Oontractors who have dealt with the Secretary and his immedi- ate subordinates will confess that very little has been made out of the Government, either honestly or otherwise, in this war. And not the bitterest enemy of Mr. Stanton can ever charge him with the slightest taint of corrup- tion or yenality in his high office.
