Jeffries, -Asslstant Provost Marshal General of the United States, arrived off Charleston bar in the steamship Arago, on & -epecial mission from the War Department. The revenue tug Kankakee was placed at hie disposal by Mr. Simeon ‘Draper, Collector of New York and specia! agent of the ‘Treasury. He proceeded to Charleston, reported to ~General Hatch and delivered his orders. The result was sthat ex-Governor Aiken was arrested a his house and placed in General Jeffries’ custody. All his private papers were seized, sealed up and delivered to General Jeffries “Governor Aiken was brought to Hilton Head, and kept under guard until the sailing of the Arago. Governor Aiken claims to be “an original Union man,” an opposer of nullification in Calhoun’s time, and a friend of the ‘Union and the constitution ever since. But there are re- ‘Ports contradictory of th's; and among otners he is ac- used of furnishing a portion of the brain work which ‘has enabled the rebels to hold out four years, and of shaving held several advisory interviews with Jeff. Davis. “These are only reports, but of course the War Depart- ‘ment must have had some foundation for its action -against him. General Jeffries came to Hilton Head on the Kankakee, vand@ then the reyenue cutter Nemaha, formerly the ‘Flora, an old North river bout, and one of the prettiest vand swiftest boatsin this department, commanded by “Capt.

He was a ‘nullification man, and has been one of the most indus- steious and successful aidors and abettors of the rebel cause In Georgia. He makes no secret even now of his “Ditter hostility to the Union. Courteous, affable and so- elable in all other respects, he hates Yankees most , and boasts of it.

The streets for several miles are densely Gtled with people to witness the passage of the funeral procession to the Chicago and Alton Railroad station, from which the remains are to be conveyed to Springfeld. The crowds seem Lo be as large, if not larger, than those as- sembled yesterday morning when the funeral party arrived at the Lake Shore. The coffin ts solemnly trans- ferred from the hearse to the car especially designed for ‘ts reception, amid the thousands who accompanied It ip Procession, The glare of hundreds of torches lights the way. ‘Multitudes of human beings are in the immediate vicinity, and many male voices singing @ dirge; the bells are tolled, and before the music of an instrumental band has ceased we leave Chicago on our mournful errand to Springfield with the remains of the beloved and honored President. AT BRIDGEPORT, ILL. We soon reach Bridgeport. The people here have lighted bonfires, and with torches light the way a# the train slowly moves elong. Passing by Summit, Joyes and Lemon, where we also see crowds of spectators, we reach Lockport at thirty-three minutos past eleven. At this place minute guns are fired. Many persons line the srack hoiding torches, and in the back ground ts an immense bonfire. Many of the houses draped in mourning, and some are illuminated, One of the mot- wes Is:—‘‘Come home.” Hundreds of persons are here congregated, the men intently gazing with uncovered heads. The train passed all the stations slowly. AT JOLIET minute guns are fired and the bells tolled, and a bras band plays a funereal air, Many ladies and gentlemen, occupying on ® heavily draped platform, sing a hymn. It is said that twelve thousand persons are assembled. The depot hore, ag at the preceding stations, bears’ an illu- minated portrait of the late President, with the motto, “Champion, Defender and Martyr of Liberty.'’.

K is raining, but this does not prevent even women and chil- dren from a participation in these outward marks of respect, and the train moves beneath an arch which spans thetrack. It is constructed of immense timbers, decked with flags, mottoes antl a profusion of evergreens, and surmounted by @ figure of the Genius of America. “There is rest for thee in Heaven’ was sung by male and female voices as we slowly left this interesting locality, AT LINCOLN. ‘This place was mamed after Abraham Lincoln, and contains between two and three thousand inhabitants.

The folowing gives a condensed history of the trip:— General Wilson left Chickasaw, Alabama, on the 224 of March. It is not proper to give any statement of the umber of his force. Ebenezer Church, near Ptantersville, Alabama, was taken, after a short engagement with Forrest's cavairy. Three hundred prisoners were eaptured and three guns. Forrest's forces were driven to the west of the Cahawba river, and separated. A column was sent to Tuscaloosa, which captured and destroyed much government pro- perty. Selma, two hundred gnd forty-one milez from the base, was captured on the 2d of April, with two thousand seven hundred prisoners, thirty-two guns in position, and seventy-five guns in arsenal, We destroyed three rolling mills, with fixtures, a very targe naval foundry, &n arsenal (the second in importance in the confederacy), powder works, magazines, and a large number of cara. We remained at Selma eight days. ‘The Alabama river was bridged eight hundred and afty feet, the operation occupying five days, from the 6th 10 the 10th. The next place attacked was Montgomery, fifty miles distant, destroying all the bridges on the Alsbama and Tennessee rivers, The railroad to Columbiana was de- stroyed. The enemy destroyed twenty-five thousand bales of cotton. Montgomery surrendered without assault. Five guns fell into our hands. We destroyed two rolling mills and foundries, two magazines, one locomotive, sixty-three cars, ive steamboats (captured on the river near Wetumpka), and uitre works. The rebels burned eighty-five thousand bales of cotton before evacuating. Columbus, Ga., eighty-five miles distant, was taken by assault by General Upton, after dark on the 16th. Twelve hundred prisoners were captured, fifty-three guns, seven large cotton factories, one hundred thou- sand bales of cotton, and immense quantities of ord- Rance, quartermaster and commissary stores, a large arsenal, # pistol factory, ® sword factory, an accoutre. ment factory, » naval foundry, a rolling mill and foundry, ‘an arsenal foundry, thirteen locomotives, over one bun- dred care, depots, machine shops, &¢., were captured and destroyed. A gunboat, mounting six seven-inch rifed guns, now called the Jackson, but the aoame of which bas been recently changed, was captured here. ‘A detour to West Point was made by La Grangel’s brigade, who attacked the works and carried them by storm, capturing the garrison, three bundsed and afty {to number, and four guns, and killing the rebel General Tyler, in command. Fiftcen iccomotives were do atroyed, two hundred cars, two bridges, and two large factories in the vicinity, We destrayed large quantities of quartermaster and commissary stores at Griffin, and the railroad bridges on the Selma and Montgomery Rail- road. We captured along the road five guns. Macon was taken without opposition It has aot been necessary as yet to destroy any property. We captured Generals Howeli Cobb, Gustavus W. Smith (formerly Street Inspector of New York city), Robertson, Mercer and McCall. ‘The captures are one hundred and thirty-two guns in Position, in Acid and by assault, and two hundred guns ip arsenals and in store, with immenze amounts of ord- nance, quartermaster and commissary steres, and sot ton, machinery, railroad stock, &c.

Our Paris correspondence, by the Scotia, announces the death at Malta, on the 15th of Apwi, of Pliny Miles, Eeq., formerly of this city and for many years past the resident London correspondent of the Huratp. Mr. Miles made himself an enviable reputation in this sountry by his Ilterary attainments, His published works and lectures—ombracing his experience in travel- tng tn various parte of the European continent, and his better known and highly entertaining work on Mnemon- tes—are still very popular standard volumes. His lec- tures on Iceland, delivered in this city some twelve or Gfteen years since, were well received at the timo, and were subsequently repeated at the request of prominent citizens, In one of them he used to relate that, during his extended trip through’ that “‘ice-ribbed region of the north,’ the only evidence of the civilization of the in- habitants was the finding+on one occasion only of copies of the London Times and New Yorx Hxraxp lying in the game hut. Mr. Miles devoted many years of his life to the advo- cacy, by bis pen and voice, of cheap postage in this coun- try, and held the same relation to that reform here that Rowland Hill bore to the adoption of the same system in England. His valuable statistical works on the subject. were much et in Congress during’the agitation of the subject there, and had « beneficial offect In securing the adoption of the present system. Hon. Montgomery Blair invited bim to Washington a year or two since in order to secure bis assistance In improving the system as then working. While veuiding in London as the Hzratp correspondent Mr. Miles was in very bad health, and becoming im- with the idea that sriel navigation would im- prove his condition, he became interested in ballooniu; with Hon. Robert J. Walker, Glashior and Coxwell, several asvensions from London, all of which were admirably described and widely quoted, but which did not add much to his failing strength. He took much interest in the great French commercial enterprise, the Suez Canal, and made his preparations, despite bis physical condition, to be present as the repre- sentative of the HxnaLp at the ppening of the canal, which was Qxed for April6. Wiflle «n row’e for Alex- andria he was taken ill, and was landed at Malta, where he died on the date as above, having been carefully attended by American residents’ on the island.

Havana, April 20, 1865. * Prospect of @ War Between France and the United Stat—The Guerillas in Mexicoo—No Quarter Asked or Given in Sinaloa—They Swarm im Michoacan and Puebla—The Foreign Legion to be Increased, dic., de. Everything promises an interesting and exciting time in Mexico during the coming summer. In fact the criste has yet to be passed which will test the resistance and endurance of the new empire and its supporters The revolt of Cortina, viewed by itself, is nothing; but, taken with concomitant circumstances, {t is of the highest sig- nificance, and ls most probably the forerunner of » tre- mendous storm. Further intelligence from Matamoros is anxiously looked for, and the steamer due to-day from Vera Cruz must bring us, it is supposed, aews of the gravest importance. The opinion of those bere who pay any attention to Mexican affuirs is identical with that of your city of Mexico correspondent, who assures us that the invasion of that country by the ‘“‘Northmen"’ has positively commenced. It isno longer, then, a secret, but has already flown across the seas, to roost like some ominous bird ‘‘on the marble bust of Pallas’ above a certain ‘chamber door.’”? The long “threatening” bas at length come, and the French are to be ‘driven out.” ‘A fairer challenge to a fair fight never was given, and the gage will be accepted. I am not called upon to say any more, for the result of the contest can only be matter of opinion and calculation, and I do not intend to add the business of prophet to that of correspondent without an extra salary. re is uO prophetic merit tm saying that you will have a fair, square stand up fight with France; neither ts there any remarkable shrewdness to get credit for; for even the most broken down old war horse can ‘snuif the battlo from afar and indulge in a quiet ‘Hal ha!” after contemplating the prospect. With thus much of prologue for your enlightenment let me proceed to give you a few scraps of the latest news, brought hither bya French steamer, and interest- ing only in so far as it goes to show that the guerilla war- fare continues throughout the country, being carried on with peculiar bitterness in Sinaloa, where no quarter is given by either side. In that State or department, therefore, as woll as those of Michoacan, Puebla and along the northern frontier, that gleam of peace of whioh I lately spoke can not be discovered. ‘The news from Michoacan,” saya a newspaper, “is sad”—a statement which may be relied on, since there a great many guerilla partios—estimated in all at about two thousand men—prowling through the State. It is probable the numbers are greater.
