A triumphal arch was erected at the corner of Ninth and Lombard streets.

This long and tedious trial is rapidly draw- ing toaclose. The investigation into the con- duct of rebel officers and the experience of our men at Andersonville has been prosecuted with unceasing energy, and has revealed a cata- logue of cruelties before unheard of in civilized countries. To-morrow the Judge Advocate will read his argument covering both sides of the case,the counsel for the defense, Mr. Baker, having abandoned his client. The record of testimony makes 5,000 foolscap pages, divided into seventy parts, and contains between three and four hundred objections and rulings of the court. One hundred and sixty witnesses were examined, several of whom were indi- vidually on the stand for two days. Upon the conclusion of Col. Chipman’s arguments: which from the numerous features of the trial must necessarily be lengthy, the court will sit with closed doors to consider and make up the finding. Whatever may be the fate of this wretched prisoner, those associated with him in the mur- der of our soldiers cannot hope to escape un- punished. The execution of Capt. Wirz, with his confederates left to boast of their doings rebuked, would shock every sense of justice, and cannot be anticipated fora moment. The Government has no thought of making any ex- ceptions in the case. Every man responsible for the horrors of Andersonville must account for it, and will find a Nemesis upon his track as relentless as fate. TRIAL OF GEN. BRISCOE. The Court now trying Gen. Briscoe for rob- bing the quartermaster’s sate at Lynchburg of &sum of money belonging to the Government ‘was occupied this morning in hearing the ar- guments for and against the motion of the coun- sel for accused to summons certain officers to testify to the military reputation of the prison- er. The motion was finally over-ruled by the Court, which adjourned until 1 o'clock. Upon re-assembling, Mr. Hine, for the de- fense, moved that the Court request the War Department to furnish such extracts from official reports as referred to General Briscoe. This was objected to as untimely by the Judge Advocate, and up to half-past one o'clock the motion had not been decided by the Court. WHITE HOUSE. This being Cabinet day, there were but tew visitors at the White House beyond those who called for the purpose of viewing the various rooms of the Mansion open for inspection. At eleven o’clock this morning the English tour- ists were received by the President in his office. The Mansion is now being fitted up tor the winter, The elegant carpets, curtains, and decorations are being replaced, and the entire interior of the building begins to present a superb appearance. RESTORED. During the present month the Freedmen’s Bureau has restored to twenty parties in Vir- ginia alone property involving an immense sum of money. Among this number, to whom property has been restored, are ex-rebel Gen. W. D. Corse, John M. Orr, (who was Mayor of Leesburg at the breaking out of the rebel- lion, and more recently a quartermaster of a rebel regiment,) and W. B. Lynch, editor of the Leesburg Washingtonian, and late a captain im the rebel army THE ENGLISH TOURISTS. Sir Morton Peto and his party of English tourists arrived here last evening. To-day they are engaged in visiting the various De- partments of the Government, under the escort of the Hon. R. J. Walker. This morning they called upon President Johnson, at the White House, and were introduced by Mr. Walker. The President received them in a most cordial manner, and after the introductory ceremonies were over, some time was spent in social! in- tercourse. INCORRECT. The published statement that the deficiency in the Generai Post Office appropriation, occa- sioned by the re-establishment of the Southern post routes and post offices, would amount to eight millions, is incorrect. In 1861, the defi- ciency was but four millions, and the contracts now being awarded average only a small per- centage of the prices heretofore paid for con- veying the mails.

A day or two after another conversation took place, when Lusby spoke about blood being on his shirt, and it must have come m his wite, as he wore the shirt only during the night.
