Proceedings To-Day- —_—e— Court met at 10 o'clock. The prisoners were | placed in the usual order, and the proceedings of yesterday read by the official reporters. Spangler seems # little depressed by the evi- dence of yesterday. Payne is amusing himself by returning stare for stare of all given himso abundantly by the lady visitors. Arnold pays little attention to the proceedings, occupying bimeelf with gazing through the open window by which he stands. Edwin Booth, brother of J_ Wilkes Booth, and Mr. Stuart, manager of Winter Garden ‘Theater, New York, are among those present | this morning. Mr. Booth is present as a wit- mess. His likeness to-his brother, J. Wilkes Booth, is quite noticeable, he having the same classical features and finely cut chin, but with ; & much more intellectual, gentle and thought- ful face than Wilkes Booth possessed. ‘The reading of the proceedings occupied un- ! til after 12 o’clock. SHERMAN’S OFFI AL REPORT, The Campaign of the Carolinas—The John- | ston Truce. The correspondence and efficial report of Gen. Sherman to Gen. Grant on the campaign of the Carolinas is published by order of the Secretary of War in the Official Gazette. The report is preceded by 8 communication dated April 28th, in which Gen. Sherman refers to the New York Fimes of the 28th, containing a budget of military news, authenticated by the Secretary ot War, and embracing a copy of the basis of agreement between Gen. Sherman and Johnston. Gen. Sherman cemplains of his pian not being kept secret until further in- quiry had been made, and mentions as the rea- sons for his course, the character of the inter- views between President Lincoln and promi- nent parties in Richmond, upon the subject of reconstruction.. He denies the intention of in- subordination, and in conclusion promises ta go om and execute the orders of the Lieutenant General. This letter has attached fo it the fol- lowing:—“P S. As Mr. Stanton’s singular pa- r has been published, 1 demand that this also Be made public, though I am in no manner re- sponsible to the press, but to the law and my Proger superiors.” F The official report commences with affairs on the ist of April, When the army was lying at Goldsborough repairing the wear and tear of ita recent march from Savannah, and details the military operations against Jonnston to the 14th, when General Sherman received Jonn- | ston’s first letter. Proceeding, he says: “<I agreed to meet General Johuston in person at & point intermediate between our pickets, on the 17th at noon, provided the position of the | troops remained statu quo. I was both willing and snxions thus to consume 8 few days, as it would enable Colonel Wright to finish our railroad to Raleigh. “Two bridges had to be built and twelve miles of new road made. We had no iron that on the branch from except by \aking u: Goideboroagh fo Weldon: Instead of losing | by time I gained in every way, for every hour of delay poesible was required to reconstruct the railroad to our rear and improve the con- dition of our wagon roads to the front, so dest- Table in case the negotiations failed and we be forced to make the race of near two hundred | miles to head off or catch Johnston's army, then retreating toward Oharlotte At noon of the day appointed I met General Johnston for the first time in my life, although } the yo’ | Loreh { eel ay) RV ENING '— ‘we had been interchanging shots constantly since May. 1562. Our interview was frank and soldier-lize, and he gave me to understand that further ‘War on the part of the Confederate troops was folly, that the cause was lost, and that every life sacrificed after the surrender of Lee’s army ‘Was the “highest possible crime.” He admit- ted that the terms conceded to General Lee ‘were magnanimeus and all he could ask, but he did want some general concessiots that would enable him to allay the natural fears and apxieties of his followers, and enablehim to maintain hie control over them until they could be got back to the neighborhood of their homes, thereby saving the State of North Oar- olina the devastations ineyiiably to result from turning bis men loose and unprovided on the apot, and our pursuit across the State, He aleo wanted to embrace jn the same gen- eral proposition the fate of all the Confederate S@rmies that remained in existence I never ~™made any concession as to his own army, or assumed to deal-‘finally and authoritatively in regard to any otber, but it did seem to me that there was presented achance fer peace that might be deemedg-valuable to the Govern- ment of the United States, and was at least worth the few days fthat wonld be consumed in reference. To push an army whose commander had so frankly and bonestly confessed his inability to cope with me were cowardly, and anwor- thy the brave men I led. | sasmuch as General Johnston did not feel | anthorized to pledge his power over the armies | in Texas, we adjourned to meet the next day atnoon. Ireturned to Raleigh and conferred freely will all my general officers, every one of ‘whom urged me to conclude terms that might accomplish so complete and desirable anu end. All dreaded the weary and Iaborions march after a fugitive and dissolving army back to- wards Georgia, almost over the very country where we had toiled so long. There was but one opinion expressed, and if contrary ones ‘Were entertained the: were withheld, or in- | dulged in only by that class who shun the | fight and the march, but are loudest, bravest, and flerceet when danger is past. I again thet General Johnston, on the Sth, and we renewed the conversation._He satisfied me then of his power to disband the rebel armies | in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Tex- | as, as wellas thosein nameiy, North Carolina, South Carolina, Flor- ida, and Georgia. The points on which he expressed especial solituce were, lest their States were to be dis- membered and denied representation in Uon- gress, OF any separate political existence ‘Whatever, and that the absolute disarming his men would leave the South powerless and ex- posed to depredations by wicked bands of as- and robbers. Bz ident Lincoln's message of 1564; his am- Desty proclamation; General Grant’s terms to General Lee, substantially extending the bene- fits of that proclamation to all the officers above the rank of colonel; the invitation to the Virginia Legislature to reassemble in Rich- mond, by General Weitzel, with the approval of M ncoin and GeneralGrant, then on the spot: rm belief that I had been fighting to re-establish the conetitution of the United States, and last, and not least, the general uni- ‘versal desire to clore a war any longer with- out any organized resistance, were the feading facts it induced me to pen the ‘“memoran- dum” of April 15, signed by myself and Gene- ral Johnston. it was designed to be, and so expressed on its face, as a mere ‘‘basis” for reference to the President of the United States and constitu- tional Commander-in-Chief, to enabie him, if he chore, at one blow, to dissipate the military ‘power oi the Uontederacy which had threat- ened the national safety for years.” Continuing, he says that the news of the President's assassination, which reached him OB the 17th, duly impressed him with its ter- rible atrocity and probable effect upon the country, but he saw no good reason to change bis course, and thought rather to manifest re- is memory by following after the Fs 3 Geath that policy which if living _ felt certain Mr. Lincoln would have ap- proved. Gen. Sherman also refers to his letter to the Mayor of Savannab, expressing his views on the subject of reconstruction, which were not rebuked, and his impressions of the necessity of bringing the war to & close as soon as pos- Bidie for financial reasons On the evening of yj oe 23, Major Hitchcock Teported bis return to Morehead Uity with des. itches, of which fact Gen.

Hunter said if there were no more witnesses in attendance the Court would adjourn, Mr. Doster, counsel for Atzerodt, sali that he had some witnesses in attendance, but ashe desired to examine them tn a certain order, he would prefer not todo so at thistime. He said he proposed to introduce certain testimony in the case of Atzerodt, to set up the plea of in- sanity, and bis disposition from youth.

(For the Accused.) ‘Witness residesin Baltimore. 1s-proprietor of Ford's Theater, and knows Edward Spang- ler, who has been at intervals in witness’ em- ‘pioy three or four years, for two years con- stantly. Witness was not in the city on the day of the assassination; was in Richmond on that day: arrived there between 2 and3 o'clock. Witness has known J. Wilkes Booth since he was & child, and intimately for six or seyen years. By Mr. Ewing :—Q. State what you haye heard Booth say of Samuel Kk. Chester, the actor? ‘ Mr Bingham.—I object. Mr. Ewing —State whether or not Booth ever applied to you to employ Chester in your thea- tre? Mr. Bingham ebjected. It was not competent for any declaration of Booth to be introduced to attack a witness. Mr. Ewing said it was not his design to at- tack the witness, Chester, but to corroborate his testimony. He wished to show that Booth, ‘white undertaking to manipulate Chester for the purposes of the conspiracy, was really try- ing toget Ford to employ Ohester here, his (Booth’a) purpose being to use Ohester as an instrument for his purpose at the theatre. His design in introducing this testimony was to re- lieve Spangler by showing that Booth had not any instruments in the theatre to accomplish his purposes, and wished to bring Ohester there to thatend. ‘The objection was sustained. By Mr. Ewing :—Spangier was employed as & stage bend at night, and to assist in doing c@rpepter’s work during the day; his daties were strictly on the stage, and his presence was required on the stage. His presence was needed during the second scene of the third act of the American Cousin, nnless he had preyi- ously aseertainedthat he could bespared. This was the lopgest scene in the piece. The scenes in the second act were short. John B. Wright was the stage manager, and James J. (tifford Was the stage carpenter, and the manager directed the carpenter, one of whose duties was to Keep the peccpal passage clear. Spangier’s duty called him on the opposite side of the stage. This should never be obstrocted. It is used by all parties coming from the dressing and gteen room. Witness has given directions to keep this passageway ciesr. The American Cousin is a piain play, which required no crowding of thepassazeway. Spangler never worea musteche. Witness has noticed that Spangler had a great admiration for Booth. Booth was 8 peculiarly fascinating man, and was well caloulated to exercisegreatinflaence over ihe lower classes: The leap made by Boothfrom the President's box to the stage was not an extraordinary one. Booth was asuperb gymnast, and was noted for his daring leaps. Witness bas known Booth to introduce some extracrdinary jeaps in the play of Macbeth, timore. The leap made in that pla7 by him was so hazardous as to elicit the condemnation of the Baltimore San at that time, The leap made by Booth from, the box was notso difficuit as to need rehearsal. It was not usnal to rehearse leaps introduced imte plays: at theaters. The leap frem. the box was not a difficalt one for Booth. Witness, since the commencement of the last September season, seldom visited: his theater im this city without finding Booth . there, Booth used to have his letters sent to hig at the theater. Witness usually came Washington three times r week. The last tima he saw Boo’ was two or three weeks before the assassination. The wife of witness being sick about that time he did not make his reguiar visits tohis Washing- ton theater. At ihis point the Court took a recess until 2 p.m. RECRUITING THE REGULARY ARMY, In order to recruit the ranks of the regular eg iments 8S £000 as practicable, the Adju- tant General will open recruiting stations at sueb points 8s offer a reasonabie prospect’ of enlisting good men.

M. THE CONSPIRACY TRIALS. Proceedings This Evening. TESTIMONY OF THE BROTHERS FORD. At two o'clock the|commiasion reassembled, when the examination of JOHN T. Forp (for the accused) was resumed. Witness knows that'Spangler asec to spend much time about Baltimore crabbing and fishing. ‘Witnees was here shown the rope found in Spangler’s carpet bag, which he thought could be used for crabbing. Witness went to Richmond to see his uncle and bis mother-ia-law about the time of the assassination. By Judge Holt :—Witness did not pretend to say the rope was intended for crabbing; it eould be uséd-f other purposes. Witness cannot say whether the stage boxes were locked in this theater. In Baltimore the boxes are locked, and the keys are kept in the office. Witness had meard that none of the other boxes were occupied the nightof the assassination but the President’s box. Ae recollected some occasions wher there was a full house and no boxes occupied. Booth was a person who would be likely to exercise great influence over men like Spangler. RE-EXAMINATION OF JAMES P. FERGUSON (For the Accused.) Witness noticed thas the first person who ran after Booth when he ran across the stage was a large man, Witness iid not see any oiher person follow. TESTIMONY OF C. D. HESS (For the Accused. » Witness is manager of Girover’s theatre and has frequently seen John Wilkes Booth, and recollects that Booth came in the office of the theatre on the day before the assassination and asked witness if he was going to illaminate. Witness replied that he would on the foliowing night. Booth asked “Aré you going to invite the President!” Witness said “Yes, that re- minds me I must send that tnvitation,” and he sent an invitation to Mrs. Lincoln, that being the usual m&nner in which the pres- ence of the President was secured. Witness thought Booth’s manner strange in intruding in the office when he and thé prompter were engaged; it was unusual for Booth to come in and take ageat in the office. The passage way ot a stage is usually kept clear, especially when it is narrow. Witness would not con- sider aleap from the box to the stage a very difficult one. Mr. Ewing asked what box the President was in the habit of occupying when he yWited Grover's. Judge Advocate Bingham objected; and the objection was sustained. " TESTIMONY OF H. M. JAYNES. (For the Accused ) , Witness has known Edward Spangler. Wit- ness heurd the shot fired on the night of the assassination, when Spangler was standing oppesite witness; that is Spangler was on the stage towards the President; witness did not see any one standing by Spangler, nor did he see what Spangler did at the time. Wit- ness stood behind the curtain. Spangler was about ten fee: from witness. Witness thinks that be stcud nearer the door than Spangler. ‘Witness saw the prisoner seyeral times during the piay. Atthe time the passage way was clear as istal. It was the business of Spang- ler and witness to keep the passage way clear. Spangler was opposite to witness when the President arrived, and Spangler joined in the applause Witness ia not see. Jacob Ritterspaugh neat Spangler at the time. By Mr. Bingham.—Ritterspaugh may heve been near Sp@ngier behind the scenes at th time; hie business was there. A TESTIMONY OF F. X. DOOLEY. (For the Accused.) Witness is an apothecary, and was shown a tooth brush and lignOrice found in atzerodt’s pockets, but could not identify the trade mark on either as his, * BE-BXAMINATION OF H.L MUDD, For the Aceused. Witness testified that the farm of Dr. Mudd was given to him by his father, who holds the déed tor it. THSTIMONY OF DR, C. W. DAVIS. (For the Accused ) Witness resides near the Navy Yard, and has known the prisoner aoe) from early boy- hood. Witness considered Kim more of & boy than a man; of trifling character with but little cf aman about him, easily led off. Witness did not think that nature had endowed Herold with as much intellect as ordinary persons. Witmess does not consider Herold more than 23. By Judge Advocate Bingham:—Herold un- dovbtedly Knows the difference ; between wright and wrong TESTIMONY OF H. CLAY FORD. (For.the Accused.) Witness was treasurer of Ford's theater. Witness knew first of, the Presidemt’s coming to the theater on the day of the assassination abont 11 o'clock. Booth was there abont 12 oclock, but witness did not tell him that the President was te be there, although Booth may have found itont. Booth came down the street, stopped talking with a party, and while there a letter was broughttohim. Booth was about the theater about haifan hour. Witness and Mr. Rabold decorated the box. Witness had part of the furniture brought from the stage, and & part, including a rocking chair, from his own room. Spangler took the par- tition down, which was removed whenever the President wasthere. Witness thinks the President bad been there about six tims during the winter. Spangler was on the stage when witness was decorating the box. Spangler knew that the President was coming from taking out the partition. Witness ueed & penknife in the box for cutting the strings used in tying the flags. The rock- ing chair was placed in the box because it belonged to the set of farniture. Booth was in the habit of engaging boxes, and whenever he did £0 took No. 7, one of the boxes (next the Audience) occupied by the President Witness heard that Booth’'s spur caught in the bie flag which witness placed in the box; it was the flag of the Treasn- ry regiment. The pictures had never been piaced en the box before; and small flags were generally used, but General Grant having been ezpected with the President the flags ware bor- Towed and pictures placed tn the box Wit- nees was in the office at the time but did not see Spangler in front of the theatre; never saw him wear & moustache. By Jadge Bingham:— Witness did not know of any applications having been made that day for the other private boxes; witness never saw abarfor the purpose of fastening the door ot the theater; nor did he know thatany hole was in the door of the President’s box By Mr. Aiken:—At the time Booth was at the theater (at 12o'clock) the fact thatthe Presi- dent was to be present was not generally | known. Booth did not seem in a hurry to lesve the theater, and read the letter at his leisure. Witnees did not know the name of the messenger from the White House. TESTIMONY OF WM. WITHERS, JR. For the Accased.) The door whieh Booth went out of was closed. Booth opened it apparenti: ly and closed it. Witness did not see Booth about the theater that day. . TESTIMONY OF JAMES BR. FORD. Witness is the business manager at Ford’s theater. Witness first heard of the President coming at 10% o'clock on that morning. The President had not been invited that night. Witness saw Booth at the corner of 10th and E streets about 12% o'clock; he was coming from towards the theater, aad was going towards Lith street. Witness got the flags from the Treasury De- ent.to decorate the box; but did not get as many flags as he wished. By Mr. Ewing:—Have you ever had any conversation with Booth in relation to the pur- ch&se of lands, and if so where? Mr. Bingham objected; and the objection was sustained. Witness knows ypthing of a visit of Booth to Oharles county, except what he (Booth) told him. Witness knowe John McGallough, but does not know if he was in Washington on the 20th of April last. By Mr. Aixen :+Witness sent.s notice to the Star office announcing that the President and Gen, Grant were to be at the theater.- Wit- never saw Jolin Surratt. Mr. McUal- Tooth returned to the city with Mr. Forrest. Witness does not know that McOaltough left the city before the Ist of April.
