THE VOLUNTEERING BUILDINGS IN THE PARK Avo- TIONED—ALL THE CONTENTS 80LD—BLUNT'S CHAIR, DESKS, STOVES, ROOMS AND ALL KNOUK- _ED DOWN—THE GAINS OF WAR—MATERIAL FOR MUSEUMS, ETO. One of the most interesting sales that has taken piace in this city for a long time occurred yesterday. It was the sale of the wooden buildings in the northwest por- tion of the Park, which have been used chiefly and Duilt specially to accommodate the Committee on Volunteering, and facilitate their labors in filling the various quotas of the city during the late war. The contents of the buildings were also sold. There was @ large attendance at the sale, and the bidding was quite spirited at first. Towards the end, however, many persons loft, and the prices obtained were not so hich asin thecommencement. The suctioncer was Mr. Charles Loew. He commenced operations by announcing that the terms were cash, that the purchaser wonld im- * mediately have to deposit a per centage with the clork, that all the articles about being sold having been used to fill the quota of the city they wonld be worth a great deal more, “say five hundred per cont,” fifty or seventy. five years from now, and that their value will, like that of good .whiskey, grow with their age. The frst lot put up was & dozen of cano-seated office chairs and the firet bid made was 60 cents a chair, which ran along by 75 conta, $1, $1 26, $1 371, $1 40 to $1 50, at which they were knocked down, When the auctioneer reached lot No. 47, he announced the article described in it as Blunt’s chair, out of which the major part of the county bounty fund was paid to re- crits, The competition was fnteresting, and the biddin confined to Messrs. Purdy and Boole: It was knocke down to Mr. Boole finally for $25, The original cost. of the chair was $15, Tho articles were in most cases raised up over shoulders for exhibition, and when the heavy safes were reached, a funny follow, hearing the recommendations of the auctioneer with some apparent show of incredulity and mirth, cried out, “Raise it up; let us see it.” ie safes, however, were not lifted, When No. @6 was reached the animals were recom- mended for their kindness, gentleness and perfect sound- nese, But it would take too much space ) at the [Sprageremened = so ren and tore many humorous sayings-have omitted.

The following letter, which confirms the report of the “confession of the assassin Payne, was received yesterday by Mr, Clarence A. Seward :— Wasuinatox, May 7, 1865. T found your uncle much better than I expected; his strength is rapidly returning. He suffers but little pain, although the metal splint which is applied to sustain the Jaw is very annpying, and tnterferes with his regular sleep. He conv with some little difficulty; but a little time will improve that. He hupes to take hold of department business somewhat during this week. I drove ont with him two hours ycaterday and to-day. Frederick is doing very well; is entirely conscious, If the hemorrhage trom his wounds does not return in four or five days more bis physicians think he will be out of danger. You will be glad to hear that Payne, the assassin, bas fully confessed his crite and all the detuils respecting it, andthe difficulties he eneounteted. He confirms fully the ¥tory of the colored lad who let him: into the house, and also Major Seward’s account. The details which he gives are, for obvious reasons, not made public at present; he says, howover, that all the plans of that Friday night not being carried out was the greatest failure that ever was. He has not made any revelation respecting his ac- complices. That will doubtless follow.

Official advices received hore state that the rebel Gene- ral Dick Taylor has surrendered bis forces, upon the same terms as wore agreed upon between Generals Grant and Lee, IMPORTANT OABINET MEETING. ‘There was s special Cabinet meeting to-day, continuing over four hours, at which important and confidential matters were discussed. The subject of trade and com- ‘meroe with the insurrectionary States was under conside- ration at the meeting, but will again be considered at the regular Cabinet meeting to-morrow, when it is hoped that matters may be arranged so a to throw open the door os widely and as freely os existing legislation will permit. The importance of ‘unrestricted commercial intercourse, as an agent of re- construction and pacification, is fully appreciated by the President and Cabinet; and the only discussion is as to how thie can best be accomplished under the laws of Congress framed for a very different condition of affairs. The general financiat condition of the Southern States, as affecting commercial returns, has also been: fully coa- sidered in the Cabinet cousultations upon the subject. It may safely be stated that the country will soon be gratified by the promulgation of much more liberal and satisfactory regulations in reference to Southern trade than have heretofore been deemed advantageous or ad- visable, BEMOVAL OF THE LOYAL STATE GOVERNMENT OF VIRGINIA TO RICHMOND.

THR NATIONAL FINANCES. The large receipts from the sales of soven-thirties is enobling the Secretary of the Treasury to pay off requisi- tions which have been for some time delayed. The financial affairs of the government are now working more easily than for many months past, and there is no doubt but that sufficient means will be reserved to pay off the officers and soldiers soon to be retired from the service. ‘Tho proceeds of the sale of the seven-thirty bonds are paid ont as rapidly as received. In a few weeks it is ox- pected that every dollar of the public indebtedness already ascertained will have been paid. NO AGENT BENT ABROAD TO NEGOTIATE LOANS.
