Major General Halleck, commanding the Military Division of the James, has issued the following important order: HEADQUARTERS MILITARY DIVISION OF THE JAMES, Richmond, Va., May 5, 1965.—Gen- eral Orders No.6.—I. From and after the 20th instant all persons found in arms against the | acthority of the United States in the States of ‘Virginia and North Carolina will be treated as robbers and outlaws. Il. Any persons in those States who shall assist or advise the organization of guerrilla ‘bands or the continuation of hostilities against the authority of the United States, will be ar- rested, tried by the military commission, and unished with death, or otherwise less severe- | iy, according to circumstances of the case. Jil. All military officers of the division, and be ret the commanders of posts and dis- tr cts, Will be charged with the preservation | ‘of good order within their respective com- mands. They will use their influence to rec- oncile all differences between freedmen and their former masters, and will assure the | freedmen that they will be required to labor Yor the support of themselves and families, but they are free to select their own employ- ers and make their own bargains. They must be made to understagd that the Government will protect, but cannot scppost them. All classes must be shown the absolute necessity of planting and cultivating crops this spring and the coming summer, in order to avoid ‘want and starvation in the country. IV. For minors not cared for by their parents, the apprentice system will be introduced as early as practicable. For children too young to labor, and who have been abandoned by their natural protectors, it is advised that Houses of Retuge be established, where they may be cared for and educated. Y. Interest as well as humanity requires that the former masters of the colored race should unite in devising the best measures for ame- liorating their condition and for introducing some practical sysiem of hired labor. To this end all military authorities will end their aid. By order of Major General H. W. Halleck. J.O.KeEiton, Ass’t Adj’t. General.

The Go : ff is in the power of those who have been faithfui to that Government during its four years of peril and convulsion to greatiygid in the carrying out f this determination... . The be: lan of doing so should be a matter of consultation an@ deliberation, Many loyal citi- zens are of the opinion that the fermer residents of the District, who have participated in the re- bellion, should not be permitted to return or re- main within its limits, or in its vicinity, and that those who have paarored of their treasonable acts and desire future association with them, should be regarded as partakers ef their guilt, The hours for both words and deeds have ar- tiyed.

Harris, member of Congress fram Southern Maryland, was re- sumed to-day at 11 o'clock before the court- martial of which Major General Foster is President, (specially organized for the pur= pose,) aud of which Major Witfthrop is Judge. Advocate. : The court having been called to order by the President, the minutes of Saturday's proceed- ings read, corrected and epproved, the ac- cused read the following paper, which he agked the Court to file: Mr. President of the Commission:—The under- signed respectfully states to the Commission here that he has been advised by counsel since the commencement of this trial, and since he plead tothe charge and specifications, that he ought to have made a formal exception, to the jurisdiction of this tribunal to take cognizance ot the charge made against him, and which he has been required to answer here. And here- spectfully farther suggests that whilst he could hardly hope by any views he might be able to present in support of this exception to induce this honorable court to sustain the same, In the teeth of the various decisions, in support of the jurisdiction of similar tribu- nals in like cases, (and to which decision, in the absence of some authentic judicial exposi- tion of the law this tribunal would naturaily accord the highest, and indeed controlling re- spect,) yet he is advised that the suggestion of Want Of jurisdiction made at any time, in any manner, however informal, will for all ulterior pune be equally available as {if the same fad been made by formal plea, or in some other apt mode ‘he undersigned, therefore, respectfully asks the benefit of the exception, which he desires to be made parcel of the record taken by him to the jurisdiction of this tribunal, The undersigned respectfully further states that be has been advised, and he respectfully suggeste, that the two specifications to the charge against him, nor does either of them, show an offence embraced within either clause of the 56th Article of War. Nosuch facts are alleged as would, or could, if proved, amount to such offence, or any such offence as is made penianene by or under said article. And he jopes that he may have the benefit of all ex- ceptions to said specifications as if he had, in fact, demurred to the same, and to each of them respectively. The undersigned does not ask permission at this stage of the trial to be heard in support of these exceptions, but respectfully asks that this paper may be received and made a part of the proceecings ot the cause, to ayail hereafter in such manner and to such extent as justice and right may require. Bens. G. HARRIS. Hs ene ucge Bayecnte said he had no obdjec- ions to the receiptof the paper, and it was accordingly filed pene bas Mr. Crane, counsel for the defence, demurred against the specifications, remarking that there Was no particular house named therein in Which the accused is charged with harboring the men. Mr. Crane, however, deterred press- ing the point at the present time. The accused then offered as evidence Gen- eral Orders No. 72, ot the War Department, giving transportation to rebels and others to their homes. Mr. Harris stated that his witnesses had not arrived, but it was important that they should be here. They weuld probably arrive to-day, but as they had some sixty miles to travel, he would ask the Court to grant them farther time. The Judge Advocate remarked that he would have no objection to adjourning until to-mor- row if the accused would make the proper at- fidavits relative to the witnesses. The accused having filed the proper affida- vits, the court adjourned until to-morrow at 10 o'clock. SALES OF SEVEN-THIRTIBS.—The sales of Seven-thirties by Jay Cooke & Co., amounted to 99,153,400, on Saturday. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. ————— LATER FROM EUROPE, Profound Sensation Created by the Assas- singtion of the Late President. FarTuer Point, April 8, 1965.—The steam- ship Hibernian, from Liverpool. arrived off this Point this morning. The news, by the Nova Scotian, of the agsas- sination of President Lincoln, was published @roughout England on the 26th of April,and created a most profound sensation. ‘The stvongest feelings of sympathy and honor were unsnimously expressed with one y¥oice throughout the country. Those who smypa- thigzed with the cause of the South evinced quite as much indignation as the warmest friends of the Nerth. In all piaces the assassination was the all pervading topic,and caused almost a total suspension of business, particularly in Liver- pool and Manchester. In London, consets felt nearly one per cent, but afterwards slightly recovered. Five- twenties fell to 55 and 60 cents. Ex-coupons, Illinois shares, to 64a69, and Erie shares, to Anadis. There was a slight rally the next By ‘The cotton market was quiet and unsettled. Mos? of the holders withdrew their stocks. Prices were called at about Xd. higher. On ecuendey there was only a day session of Parlement. The attendance was yerp slim, only about sixty members being present. All signed the following address, which was pre- sented the same evening to Mr. Adams «“ We, the undersigned, members of the House of Commons, have learned with the deepest regret and horror that the President of the Jnited States has been copie of life by an. t of violence, and we desire to express our sympathy at the sad event to the American Min: Dow in London, es well as to declare our hope and confidence in the future of that great country, which we trust wilt continue to be associated with enlightened freedom and peaceful relations with this and every other country.” : The London and Previncial journals alike describe the intense excitement whiok tha news created; and all unite in warm enlogiams upon Mr. Lincoln, and bitter denunciation ‘of the assassins. : ‘The Paris and Continental journals contain a number of articles. The scene “om change’ at Liverpool will not soon be forgotten. The excitement has rarely, if ever, been excelled. Late in the day @ requisition to the Mayor was drawn up, requesting him to cail a public meeting, expreeaas the sorrow and indignation of the le. Hundreas signed it, amd the Mayor issued his proclamation for @ meeting. The flags on Tower Hall and other buildings, and the ship- ping at Liverpool were displayed at half mast. The News says Mr. Lincoln has not fallen inthe flush of triumph, for nota thought of triumph was in that honest and humble heart, but bis task was accomplished and the battle of his life was won, and in all times to come, among all whothink of manhood more than rank, the name of Abraham Lincoln will be held in reverence and love. re The Liverpool Post was printed with its columns in mourning. The London Times says that nothing in po- litical history can be remembered that has ever drawn forth more unanimous feeling than this news. Personally, Mr. Lincoln enjoyed the kind regards of every one in England. Mr. Lincoin’s honesty speedily became apparent, and Englishmen learned to respect him. The Times also says, unjust as we believe it tobe, the Confederate cause will not escape the dis- honor cast upon it. LOOAL NEWS. ee EXCURSION TO GLYNONT.—The fine steamer Thomas Collyer, Capt. Gedney, left her wharf Friday morning last, with a party of gentle- men, for the abovenamed place, to spend a day and enjoy the fine spring breezes and a plank-shad dinner, with its usual accompani- ments, Alexandria, Fort Washington, Mount Ver- non, the White House, Craney Island, &c., &e., were soon passed, andthe party safely landed at the well-known suburban retreat abovenamed. The weather, which in the ear- ly morning had appeared so unpropitious, had long ere this cleared off finely. Arriving here, the first thing in order was photographing, Mr. Gardner having detached a portion of his force for the purpose, and two good negatives of the boat with all on board ‘were soon taken, and during the day several groups on shore were transferred to the artist's plates for future copy. Bathing, jumping, rambling, swinging, mu- sic, shooting, whist, etc., occupied the pleas- ant hours, while the caterer was warming into & well-flayored condition on the planks before a hot fire some capital specimens of the shad family. At rf o'clock the dinner bell summoned the arty tothe charming repast. The tables were loadéd With the delicacies which spring brings in all its aweet#iess; while dish after dish came sailing in with planked shad swimming in, not petroleum, but butter, much to the grati- fication of the guests, who had them properly cared for. The dishes removed, the corks be- gan to fly, and wine, wit, repartee and song mingled in pleasant company until the sunset hour, when the shrill whistle of the steamer reminded of home. Ail aboard, and two and 4 halt hours were spent-in song, speaking and recitations, until the wharf was reached.

Tyler made some remark to Smith, whoimmediately replied with a rough expression, and drawing a pocket jistol fired. The ball entered the bacx part of vler’s jaw, and glanced downward into the shculder, where it lodged, and has not been extracted. Tyler is doing well. The wound does not preyent his walking about. a ee THESuNDAy Trotting Coursr.—Yester- day the Northern Liberties were made aware that the season for fast ariving upon the streets leading to the country had reopened. The complaints of the residents were heard in every part of the suburbs.

Those streets were not laid out by the city au- thorities for Sunday drivers of racing nags: and this the owners of fast teams well know from past experience.
