And 1 do further recommend, that on that occason the whole people make confession of our national sins against His infinite goodness, and with one heart and one mind implore the Divine guidance in the ways of national virtue and holiness. In testimony whereof, Lhave hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the United Services to the inhabitants of | States to be affixed. < Done at the city of Washington, this twenty- eighth day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-five, and of the Independence of Jnited States of America the nine- tieth. ANDREW JouNSON. By the President: Wm. H. SEwarp, Secretary of State. [t.s8.J IMPOBTANT TO RAILROAD COMPANIES. Secretary Stanton has, by direction of the President, issued instructions to Gen. Thomas. commanding the Military Division of the Ten- nessee, Which extends the benefits of the Execu- tive Order of the Sth of August, to all rail- roads within the limits of the command, desir- ing to purchase railroad rolling stock and ma- terial from the United States for the purpose of repairing the losses of the war. He is also au- thorized to direct the sale to any such railroads of rolling stock now within his command, not needed by the United States, and to take care that st ae ia J is distributed among the sey- eral roads in proportion to their actual needs, and that none be sold to any railroad m excess of the reasonable requirements of its business. Satisfactory bonds wiil be required from the companies, binding them for the full appraised value of the ‘property sold to them, the pay- ments to be in equal monthly instalments, with interest at the rate of seven and three-tenths per cent. per annum, the whole to be paid in two years, credit being allowed to them on the first of each month for any service of military transportation rendered them. THE FREEDMEN IN KENTUCKY AND TEN- NESSEE. The Freedmen’s Bureau has received from the chief medical officer in charge of the Ten- nessee and Kentucky districts a highly satis- factory report of the sanitary condition of the freedmen under his charge, from whieh it ap- pears that for the week ending October 7th there were only 605 colored people (the major- ity of whom were women and children) re- ceiving medical attention at the hands of the government. About the Istinstant all the hos- pitals and asylums for freedmen in Kentucky and Tennessee were discontinued by direction of the Commandtng General, as was also the is- suing of rations. The sick on hand were placed in private families and colonized at Nashville and Memphis in Tennessee and at Columbus and Camp Nelson in Kentucky. THE VETERAN RESERVE CORPS. The order now in press at the War Depart- ment relative to the muster out of the Veteran Reserye Corps, and which has caused somuch speculation on the partof interested parties, is now understood to simply direct command- ing officers to prepare separate rolls of those men who desire to be discharged the service and of those who wish to be retained. This is tor the purpose of mustering out those who wish it, reducing the number of officers, and consolidating the corps, which Congress will be asked to make a permanent organization, into which men who have been wounded and desire to re-enter the service, but who cannot enlist in the regnlar army, according to the regulations, on account of existing disabilities, will be admitted. THE REMAINS OF COLONEL DAMLGREN. On Monday evening, the body of Colonel Ulric Dahigren, who was killed near Rich- mond, on Kilpatrick’s raid, in March, 1864, and which was placed in a vault at Congressional Cemetery some months ago, will be removed to the City Hall, where it will lie in state until Tuesday, when it will be taken to the 4 street Presbyterian Church, where the funeral dis- course will be delivered. It is expected that Key. Henry Ward Beecher, of New York, will officiate. he remains will be placed on a train and taken to Philadelphia, where it will be laid in state in a eaae Hall, and afterwards it will be en to Wilmington, Del., where it will be interred in the old family burial ground. WHITE HOUSE, General Grant and General Schofield called on the President this morning. John H. Rea- gan sought an interview but failing to get one visited the Secretary of War and spent some time in his office. There were not many visit- ors to-day, and very few of them were received by the President, his time being occupied to a considerable extent in the preparation of his message to Congress. No appointments were made this morning. FREEDMEN’S BUREAU. Industrial schools for the instruction of the freedmen—one to be located in Alexandria and another in sehen nae now _ being or- [acme under the of the Freedinen's L’Ouvertine, Sickel, and Seward Barrac in Alexandria haye been turned over to the Bureau to be used for school and hospital pur. poses, __ GOVERNMENT SALE.

LOCAL NEWS. =e Tur Orp Carrrot—The Prisoner Wirz.— Wirz, since the close of the trial, has consid- erably improved in health, and essays to be cheerful, notwithstanding his wound on the rightarm has broken out in sores. His wife, who was here during the trial, left several days ago for Georgia, where she had left her children, three in number, in charge of a triend, whose recent death compelled her to return. Wirz recently received a letter from the “governess,” as he calls her, which was of an entirely domestic character, and was rather tender in expression. She states in it “that whatever be said sne does not consider him guilty.” Wirz has received but few let- ters recently—one from a soldier some time since, and another a few days ago from New York, in which the writer says:—“Although I consider you one of the greatest criminals who ever lived and deserve to suffer such sentence as 1s meted out to you, I deem it my duty in view of the probability of your days on this earth being few, to urge you to prepare to meet your God, and look to Him for forgiveness. If you are guilty make an open confession.” The wiiter exhorts the prisoner to at once cease to think of temporal matters and to seek repent- ance at the foot of the cross. Wirz talks frequently as to the probable finding in his case, and says he knows he is to be hanged, and says: “I don’t care yon dam, butif they do hang me, they should hang Jeff. Davis, Winder, and those from whom I got my orders.’’ He, however, when speaking on this subject, shows a little nervousness. He spends much of his time in reading German works, which are procured through one of his counsel, (Mr. Schade) and apparently has but little thought of attending to his spiritual in- terests, as advised by his correspondent. He has bad but one interview with a minister, and that something over a week ago, with Rey. F,X. Boyle, of St. Peter's (Catholic) Church. The prison is now in charge of Capt. G. W. Dutton, V. R.C., and at present contains but 20 prisoners—Wirz, Duncan, former Commis- sary at Andersonville; Capt. Winder, also of Andersonville notoriety; Gen. Briscoe, Fuller, for fraud in soldier's yotes; Phelan, for forgery on National Banks, and abouta dozen citizens, for horse stealing, &c. ——_ >. THE ARREST AND SuicipeE oF Levi L. Far- WELL tn New York—Interesting Particulars.— Yesterday, we announced the arrest of Levi L. Farwell in New York for the murder of Hattie Wilkes, on Sunday last, in this city, and the subsequent suicide of Farwell in the cells ot gran Detective Clarvoe, who was detailed by Superintendent Richards to go to New York, returned to Washington thus morn- ing. Farwell was in New York Saturday at 5% P-m., but was seen no more at his board- ing-house until about 5 o’clock Monday morn- ing, whep he was seen at the headquarters of the Dodsworth Band. Saturday, at5¥ o'clock, when he left, he borrowed $10 from a gentie- man. Monday morning, his bed had not been used for two nights. He entered the house stretching himself, as if he had been up all night. His hands were scratched, and ene of the company present—the barkeeper—asked him how he got scratched, and he replied that he had been over to Jersey and fell out of a tree. He showed the paper announcing the murder of Hattie Wilkes, and charging him with it, and tned to induce several of those present to say they saw him there on Sunday, which they denied. He sat down and wrote a letter to his brother Charles in Washington. The letter was dated the 22d, the day of the murder; was postmarked the 23d, Monday, and was received by his brother on Wednesday. He went trom the band headquarters to West Break way, and Charles streets, where he was asked if he had heard anything. He replied that he had, and asked his friends there what they thought of it, and remarked that he feared his brother Charley had got into trouble. At that time detectives Elder and McCord were looking for him, having received the dispatch from Superintendent Richards. They followed Farwell from place to place, he visiting the mbling houses. Elder dectined arresting arwell immediately, expecting the arrival of deteetive Claryoe, from Washington. On Thursday evening, Farwell was arrested in a faro bank at the corner of Reed and West Broadway, while playing at the table. Detec- tive Elder entered the room and remarked to Farwell, «I arrest you forthe murder of Hattie ‘Wilks, in Washington, on Sunday last.” Far- well tried to slip something under the table. Elder seized his hand, exclaiming, “Give me that!” Farwell said he would not. A scuffle ensued, and Elder threw him on the floor, ana took from him a lady's gold enamelled watch with a bunting case, and a Smith & Wesson potter on which was missed from his arding-house on Si » $40 im green- backs, $3 in silver, my ree | mond pin, and & large blood-stone set ring. Farwell was taken to the a headquarters, and was confined in cell 0.1. He was seen several times during the night by Mr. Robert Brown, the officer in charge, and he appeared to be quite cheerful. Ata late hour bis supper was handed to him on a tin plate. In the morning, Mr. Brown entered the cell, and was shocked to find Far- well lying upon the floor in a pool of blood, and life extinct. The mode by which he com- Mhitted the suicide was then ascertained. Far- well had broken the tin plate in half, and with the rough edge severed the arteries of his right arm, and bled to death. Under his head a slip of ee was found, upon which was written with a pencil: “Give my effects to Charley, my brother in Washington. I am going to’ meet Hattie.” When Detective Clarvoe and Charles, the brother of Farwell arrived at beadgquarters, they entered the cell with the coroner, where the sceme was very affecting. The coroner asked Charles, “Do you recognize that as the body of Levi L. Farwell?” who exclaimed, “Oh, God! Yes, thatis the body of my poor foolish brother.” Detective Claryoe left New York last night, bringing with him the piece of tin with which the deed was perpetrated, and which was stained with the blood of the homicide. Also two letters found upon him, both written from Washington, one dated Sept. 2ist, signed +O. y.F.,” and addressed to “My dear husband.” The other from his brother Charley, dated Oct. 17th. The funeral of Levi L. Farwell took place this morning at 8 o’clock, and Chas. Farwell, who is a most estimabie young man, universally esteemed in Washington, remaim- ed to attend it. The letter written by the de- ceased Iast Monday was evidently designed by Farwell to prove an alibi in the case. pi eke eee tes, Tae Turis Exnassapors.—Yesterday the Tunis Embassadors in their ride throu, 4 the escortof Mr. Thomas x, of Fafa reg Mea emente in view of all the public buildings, and @ the Cap- alighted from the carriages and speat sta tone in inepecting that with which they expressed .themse) P i vening they called a; Secretary omapler bis residence, where heda de- lightful social interview with that. officia] and —— Page a ‘ are engaged in visiting and in- 't Office and Smithsonian In- Monday, at 12 o’clock. has been set apart as the time the Embassadors will be presented to the President at the Executive Mansion, ‘The Empassadors after leaving Washi: will go to Richmond, it is understood, rooms have been engaged fer them at the Bal- lard House.
