The Opening of Trade. The pubiic wili remember that General Or- der No. 2 from these beadquarters provided for the opening of trade, and it was received bere by Secessionists as an indication that their palcyon days has come. Trade was to be without restraint. Provost Marshals were to be things of the past, there was 'o be no re- currence to inconvenient records. Now comes this order that ali at once deprives them cf } their sense of security. To this complex it has come at last. That traitors are xo longer t ges, orlawyers,ortraders.

The delegation was accompanied by Col. Lecomte, of the Swiss army, who ac- companied General McClellan during the Peninsula campaign, and was also with Gen- eral Grant at the capture of Richmond, for the purpose of obtaining for the Swiss government such military information as the two cam- paigns have afforded. The Swiss Consui General, Mr Hitz, resi. dentof Washington, after an introduction tothe President by the Acting Secretary of State, tir. Hunter, expressed the sentiments of the dele- gation In the tollowing address: Mr, President: Your excellency, no doubt, willreadily apprecigte why it is that the citi- zens of Switzerland, residing in the United States, were unabie to remain passive spectators of the important events and tragic occurrences they have witnessed trance pire during the pas month. : They now desire me to express to you pub- licly the intenser feelings of sympatiuy which have been engendered in their hearts. Like all loyal Americans,my countrymen rejoice over the recent brilliant successes of your arms, successes which haying been plunned with marked ability, in a few days gave the death-stroke tothe most formidable and unjustifiable rebellion which history bears record of. Our joy, like yours, has been marred by horror at the odiousness of a crime, uvheard of in the annals of republics. Well con it be said, that in the death of the iate lamented President, Abraham Lincoln, your country was robbed of a dear father, and thas added another, and the most precious, to the long list of sacrifices which it has been called up.n to make during the late troublous times, But tbe Swiss, as republicans, are proud to bear witness to the fact that the great Republic of the United Staies, owing to the wisdom of her institutions and to the energy of her people, shows at the present moment to the world her ability to pass unscathed through the severest calamiiics; to overcome the most menifola trisis, and defy as well openly planned attacks of auarchy as al. ‘he secret conspiracies of assassins. A profound and general mourning extends over the land, but devoid of those political conynisions which would infallibly follow such events in many other countries. The whole nution is afilicted, but remains unmoved and vigilant. The law inflexible, yet scarcely ceased not an instant to reign supreme, and the great work which is being performed continues uninterrupted. May your Republic aiways overcome, in like manuer, such other trials as God in his in- ecrutable previcence may yet haye in store for you. May the noble victim whom we all mourn, the greatest of this struggle, also be its last and may ite venerable tomb become the <eal to the restoration of the Union on 2 more solid basis 1han ever before. The time is near, and we can already haij with joy the national greatness which shall succeed all your tr als so fruitfal in results. Tne faith in the final triumph of right and justice, faith in the right of liberty and Tepub- lican institutions, will every where be strength. ened, We cannot terminate without asking your Excellency to accept also the expression of our entire confidence in your ability so to ad- minister your government as to fulfill its im- portant missien at home as well as abroad. Your past public life already reaffirmed by the wisdom of your acts as Chiet Magistrate is a sure guaranty that the task, which so un-x- pectedly devolved upon you, has fallen into gcod hands. PRESIDENT JOHNSON'S REPLY, Mr. Consul General Hitz; I thank you for the sympathy which you have expressed on be. half of your countrymen for our recent be- reavement, and for your congratulations upon the success of our arms. We can have no dis- trust of the heartiness of these feelings. Switzerland herseif has had her trials and has been called on to endure sacrifices. She has, however, triumphed over all, and her heroism, patience, and self-denial, haye had and wil} continue to have the effect ofstrength- ening similar qualities in the people of ether countries. The good wishes which you offer to me per- scnally, and your confidence In my adminis- tration, Are generous and gratifying. Trust- ing that results may justity this kindness, I wil! add, that, in the United States, citizens of the Swiss Confederation are always welcome either as guests or As members of the family. My own home, Eastern Tennessee, whose in- habitants are distinguished by that love of freedom which is so characceristic of the Swiss of the old worid, is proud to be known as the Switzerland of America. Atthe conclusion of the President's reply, the members cf the delegation were indlyidual- ly introduced to him, and the interview ter- minated. IMPORTAY Nt AND WICHMUND.

This morning Dr.J. OC. McKee, Sargson in charge of Lincoln Hosptial, py direction of the Surgeon General, assembied the medical officers of Lincoln and Emory Hospitals .for the purpose of ejecting Acting Assistant Sur- geon John A. Hall, of the former institution. Hallis from Canada, and heid his position under the regulations authorizing the employ- ment of citizen surgevns. An intercepted let- ter from him toa party in Cauada, referring to the assassination of President Lincolnin a jesting and scurrilous manner, was read by Dr. McKee, and Hall notified to leave the hos- pital. The jatter bore his disgrace with apparent indifference, only offering the excuse that the letter was written toa secesh friend with the idea that it would please him. The soldiers about tke hospital were kept in ignorance of the affair until after the departure of Hall: from the apprehension that they might lynch him. MOSBY. Mosby was at Salem, near Warrenton, last Friday, and is still harbored in that neighbor- hood by the rebel inhabitants.

All efforts thus far to recover the bodies of the soldiers drowned in the Potomac river, by the sinking of the propeller Black Diamond, which was run into off Blackistone’s Island a few days ago by the steamer Massachusetts, have been unsucceesfnl, owing to the high waterin the river.

The Black Diamond is entirely submerged In water, with the exceptton of her smoke stack and the upper part of ber pilet house.

Se JHARGE Ov Anson.—This morning, officer Taylor, of the Third Ward, arrested Benjamin Harrison, colored, upon suspicion of setting fire tothe building on 10th street, between E and F, this morning. The case was taken be- tore Justice Thompson, when it was shown by the evidence of Mary A. Bresnahan, who oc- cupied the building; A. Kalt, the guardon duty at Ford’s Theater at the time, and otner wit- nesses, thatthe prisoner had been formerly em- ployed by Mrs. Bresnahan; that since h.s dis- charge, and recently, he had offered to sell her some liquor, which she refused to purchase; that he ilves in the alley back of the building, and was iu the habit of getting up from bed and going out at night; that he was seen by the guard, and spoke to him, about half-past three e’clock this morning, near the building: that ten minutes after pissing the guard the fire broke out. Some foot tracks were discovered by the police showing the route the incendiary tool after firing the building.

Sergeant Skippoa and officer Tucker took one of the prisoner's shces, and it fitted exactly in the tracks, Justice Thompson committed Harrison to jail for court The tact that Mre. Bresnahan’s goods are nearly all carried away, and the evidence showing thaton recent occasions of fire this prisoner was seen carrying bundles to his house, excited the suspicion of the police that he is cornected with other fires and robberies.
