ADVERTISEMENTS FOR THE COUNTRY. Advertisoments for the Wexry Henatp must be handed in before ten o'clock every Wednesday evening, Its cir- culation among the entorprising mochanics, farmers, merchants, manufacturers and gentlemen throughout the country is iucroasing very rapidly. Advertisements in- serted in the Weexty Henan will thus be soen by a large portion of the active and energetic people of the United ‘ttates. THE TRIAL ‘The most important evidence offered before the Wash- Ington court martial yesterday was that implicating the rebel authorities in the explosion of the ordnance boat at City Point last August. At the time of the explosion, the news of which sent @ thrill of horror through the community, it was supposed thata percussion shell had been carelessly dropped by some person connected with the boat; but the testimonyof Assistant Adjutant General Townsend, giving the official report of the person who had been placed on detached service by the rebel authori- ties for this very purpose, is conclusive evidence that it Wes caused by a rebol torpedo, Witnesses in favor of Atzerott and O'Laughlin were introduced, one witness testifying that the latter was with him on the night of the 13th of April, and therefore could not have been at Secrotary Stanton’s, a had previously been testified. Richard Montgomery was re-examined as to a letter from Clement ©. Clay, and witnesses were called to establish the character of lawyer Norton—a govern- Mont witness—for credibility. THE SITU ATION. Reorganization is rapidly gomg on in the States so lately in robellion to the United States anthorities. Governor Pierpont, of Virginia, was the first appointed to the task of bringing orcer out of the chaos left by the rulers of the Soutlern confederacy. By our dospatchos from North Carolina we learn that Governor Holden has taken possession of the Governor's Room at the Capitol, and entered upon the general discharge of his duties as the Provisional Exccutive of that State. His prociamation {4 soon to be issued; but from an @rticle published in a paper lately under his control, and from the known charactor of the new Gov- @rnor, many !mportant features can be foretold. ‘A convention will undoubtedly be suggested, and hopes are entertained that the State may be represented in the next Congress. A separation is to be mado of the facta of the Legislatures which met during the rebellion; those referring to the so-called Confederate government to be declared void, and those referring to State and domestic matters only—such as the appointment of magistrates who have solemnized marriages, &c.—to be Totained as far as possible. General Schofield has iseued ‘an order calling upon all officers and soldiers in his com- Mand to assist the Executive in the discharge of his duties. Applications for pardon under the terms of the President's Amnesty proclamation are already quite mumerous. An interesting sketch of the new Provisional Governor is given in our columns this morning. Full particulars of the interesting ceremonies com- amomorating the dodication of the monuments marking ‘tho resting places of the heroes of Manassas and Bull g@un—tho first battles of the wor—are published ip our Spocial despatches this morning. | Our fetreots yesterday were again enlivened by the {passage of numerous veteran regiments, The Ninth and Brightoonth Now Hampshire, the Thirty-third and Thirty- ‘@Dfth Massachusetts, and the Seventh Rhode Isiand infan- [ory regiments, together with the Third Rhode Inland \heavy artillery, arrived in the city between Sunday (might and yesterday afternoon, and all took their do. {perture for thoir Eastern homes, EUROPEAN NEWS. ben European advices, by the Germania and City of ndon, which arrived yosterday, set at rest the rumors jginatod by the London Owl with respect to the Ala- indemnitios, Lord Palmerston stated in the House of Commons, on — the 30th ult., that the claim made recently was of the same kind as former claims. It is stated that the Owl is now in closer communica- tion with the French Embassy than with the British Foreign Oftice. ‘This probably explains the resemblance | Detween the Owl's statements and those previously made by tho Memorial Dipicmatique. | The rupture between Prince Napoleon and his cousin, the French Emperor, 18 complete, The Prince has gone to Switzerland, whence it is said he contemplates paying another visit to this country, MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. By way of Vera Cruz and Havana we have important news from Mexico. Dates from the capital are to the | 28th of May. Three tmportani decreos have been pro- mulgated, two referring to ad valorem and specific duties on various articles, and one relating to the politieal status of all foreigners. La Soxedad, a paper published at the capital, confirms the ronfor that the rebels at Eagle Pass, near Piedras Vezras and Brownsville, had offered armed aid to the imperial authorities, who, however, did not accopt it. The republicans had been dofeated in various places, and most of Negrete’s troops had deserted him. It was reported in Matamoros that the bulk of the French army would garrison Northern Mexico and the frontier, while the interior of the country was to be gar- risoned by the legionary troops. By late dates from Rio Janeiro we have the gratifying intelligence of the safe arrival at that place of Professor Agassiz, who had had an agreeable interview with the Emperor of Brazil. The Professor, with his staff of savants, intend to remain a few months to explore the neighborhood—the Brazilians looking upon the move- ment as the prelude to the development of the resources of the empire, which bave for so long lain dormant—and thon proceed to Peru by way of the Amazon river. Rio was lively with volunteers arriving from tho interigr and doparting for the Paraguayan expedition. A meeting ts to be held for promoting the intereats of the American line of packets. Agents have arrived from the United States for the purpose of selecting lands for the cultiva- tion of cotton, sugar, &c., and two sites have already been secured. We have Havana dates of the 7th inst. by the steam- ship Liberty, which arrived at this port yesterday morn- ing. Admiral Godon’s squadron sailed on Tuesday morning, the 6th, after a stay of about a week in the port of Havana, where the officers of the fleet were the recipients of every attention. A dinner party was given in their honor by the Captain General on the Friday night preceding their departure; on Saturday the Captain General, attonded by a numerous party of officials and aids, visited the monitors, and on Monday evening a ball was given in their honor on the Gloriete of Marianab. Haytien dates have been received to the 28th of May. The revolution was still in progress. There was no con- firmation of the recent report of the dofeat of the rebels. There had been some littte fighting near Gonaives. © President Geffrard was making every exertion to forward troops. A destractive fire and explosion in government works, | attended with loss of life, took place at Chattanooga on the evening of the 9th. The ordnance department, con- taining several thousand tons of fixed ammunition and powder, together with the immense quartermaster’s and commissary’s buildings there, were destroyed. Many persons were killed and wounded by the flying shells, and government stores valued at a quarter of a million dollars were burned. There is much doubt as to the origin of the fire, many supposing ft occurred through carelessness, while the simultaneousness of the great fire at Nashville, which took place on the same night, led others to boliove that it was thé work of an incendiary. We are officially notified that for the present the ex- tent of the government business over the Southern wires necessitates the suspension of arrangements in progress: to re-establish the old relations between the press and editors south of Washington, Meantime active efforts are being made to increase the telegraphic facilities, 80 as to insure prompt despatch to all business to or from the South. x Thore was no meeting of the Board of Aldermen yester- day. At two o’clock P. M., the hour to which the Board had adjourned, there were present only Aldermen Van Voorhis and McKnight, besides the clerks and reporters. The Board was, therefere, adjournod without date. It is understood, however, that a meeting will take place on ‘Thursday next. ‘There was no quorum of Councilmen yosterday when the roll was called, and the President adjourned the Board till Thursday. ‘The only case tried yesterday in the General Sessions was an indictment for arson in the second degree, charg- ing John Denzler, who kept a butcher shop at No. 277 West Twenty-elghth street, with setting fire to bis pre- mises, on Sunday, tho 20th of last January, with intent to defraud an insurance company. The testimony, as is usual in this class of cases, was circumstantial. The acoused and his family left their apartments at half-past two in the afternoon, and at five o'clock a firo was dis- covered in his basoment (which was locked), but, fortunately, the firemen succeeded in ex- tinguishing it before the building was burned. An examination of the promi rds made by Fire Marshal Baker disclosed thé¥fact that a hole had been bored in tho floor, undor which was placed kindling wood and kerosene oil; that the defendant's stock and other property was omy worth $250, while it was in- sured for $300, and that when hoe was arrested the next day the policy was found on his person. The case was closed, and the Recorder will charze the jury this morn- ing. James W, Wood pleaded guilty to forgery in the fourth degree, and was remanded for sentence. the inal businoss of the United States Circuit yesterday before Judge Shipman, On the calling of the jury pane! but very few absenteos wore reported. The criminal calendar was then called over. John Moyer was indicted for and plead guilty to passing counterfeit United States currency, and was sentenced to one year in the State Prison. Wenry Pfitfer, Owen Early and Thos. W. Johnson severgily plead guilty to a like offence. In the matter of the accused sentence was de- ferred till Saturday next. There isa heavy calender of offences againat the United States revenue laws in passing counterfeit currency, but no important cases of any other class of offences, Ta the United States District Court yesterday the District Attorney entered a decree of condemnation against a part of the cargo ef the British blockade run- ning prize stoamor Rovensey, captured one year ago off Beaufort, N. C., by the United States supply steamor Newbern. The prize was driven ashore by the Nowbern and blown up by the rebels, who escaped to the shore in smal! boats, but wore soon after captured by our military forces stationed there. A part of the cargo was saved from the wreek and brought to this port an@ sold, the proceeds amounting to $5,456. The vesse! went to pieces before she could be got off. ‘The Strong divorce case was again postponed on yee- terday to Thursday next, on account of the sickness of one of the defendant's counsel. ‘The inquest into the circumstances of the murder of the Italian Antonio Diodati was continued before Coroner Lynch, of Brooklyn, yesterday, but nothing of the slightest consequence was developed. Three of those arrested were discharged by the Coroner, but were de- tained by the justice on an alleged charge of counter. feiting. The others are to be discharged from custody a8 soon as their evidence is taken, thore being nothing whatever to implicate them. In a dispute which occurred at one of the shopr con- nected with the Brooklyn Navy Yard yesterday morning, between two workmen named James Armstrong and John Voorhis, it is alleged that the latter made somo disrespectful allusions to the formor's wife, whereupon there was an instant encounter between the two men, in the course of which it is stated that Armstrong beat Voorhis so badly about the head and face with an iron bar that his life is despaired of. Honry Van Valkenburg, who, ft is alleged, killed Michael Condroy, mate of the ship Victoria, on the 14th day of January, 1863, and for whose arrest a warrant had bece insued by the Recorder, but who had, up to the pre- sent time, escaped tho search of the police, was arrested yesterday morning on board the sloop Passenger, and committed to the Torabs for trial. ‘The crusade against the doge was commenced, in pur- suance of the notice of the Mayor, yesterday. Over two hundred luckless animals were impounded, for which fifty cents cach was paid by the Marshal. A mass meeting of the tailors, to protest against a re- duction of wages, was held at the Bowery Garden last night. Nearly a thousand persons were present, and a series of resolutions, stating their grievances and calling for umted action im maintaining their rights, were unanimously adopted. Charles B, Baxter was arrested yesterday for passing a counterfeit five dollar bill on the Bank of Fishkill and taken before a justice, when, similar counterfeits being found in his possession, he was committed for trial. Lawrence Martin was committed yesterday for exam|- Bation on @ charge preferred against bim by Philip Mul- NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, JUNE 13, 1865. ler, who complained that said Martin and another man violently assaulted him and robbed him of bis watch and chain while passing through New Bowery late on Sun- day night. ‘The prisoner was arrested at the time of the assault, but the confederate escaped with the plunder. John Wilson and John C. Quinn were arrested on Sun- day night and committed for examination, charged with having stolen sixty-two dollars from Lewis Auger, @ sailar attached to the gunboat Glauous, while they were all in a porter house in Oliver street, ‘The village of Dyersburg, Tennessee, was almost com- pletely destroyed by fire om the 26th lt. A block of eight fine buildings, principally occupied as dry goods stores, were burned with their contents, According to the City Inspector's report there were 410 deaths in the city during the week ending June 12— an increase of 16 as compared with the mortality of the week previous, and 84 less than occurred during the corresponding week last year. Of the deaths which oc- enrred during the past week, 207 resulted from acute diseases, 171 from chronic diseases, and 32 from external causes, &c, There were 289 natives of the United States, 69 of Ireland, 5 of England, 39 of Germany, 3 of Scot- land, and the balance of various foreign countries. The stock market was strong and active yesterday. Governments were lower. Gold was buoyant, and after selling up to 141 closed at 140%. In the evening the last sale was at 142%. ‘The rise in gold rendered the merchandise markets one turn firmer yesterday, and it was unfrequently the case that higher prices were realized. Foreign mer- chandise was steady, though higher rates were demanded in some casos, Groceries were rather better, especially sugars. Coffee was firmer under the foreign news. Te- troleum was heavy for crude and firm for refined. On ‘Change flour and wheat were without decided change. Corn was lower and oats were higher, Butter, lard and whiskey were stoady. Reorganization of Parties—Proposed For- mation of a National Citizen Soldiers’ Party. The war has made ead havoc of our old poli- tical parties, The broken fragments of the old pro-slavery democratic party, like the wrecks of “the invincible Armada,” have gone to the bottom, or lie scattered, high and dry, along the surf line of the coast, from Maine to Texas. The late anti-slavery republican party, hav- ing fulfilled its mission in the abolition ot slavery and being left without a leader and without any fixed purpose, is all adrift, and at the mercy of the winds and waves. The stock in trade of both these exploded parties was a sectional agitation of the slavery question. Through this pernicious agitation they involved the country in this late terrible convulsion of civil war; but, with the return of peace, we find their vocation gone with the destruction of slavery, and that a new organization of parties must inevitably follow. What is the prospect? We see already that the radical wing of the republican camp is moving for a reorganization upon the basis of negro suffrage, while some ‘of the bewildered copperhead leaders are smelling around the White House kitchen, and others are blindly groping among the ruins of their Chicago plat- form and their exploded Southern fabric of State rights. The shoddy republicans mean- while, taking time by the forelock, have de- clared their adhesion to “Andy Johnson;” but beyond the spoils there is neither principle nor bond of cohesion among them. The simple truth is that from the disorganized ma- terials of the late republican and democratic parties the parties for the next Presidency, principles, measures and men, have still to be formed, appointed and brought into the field. The government, the constitution, the whole structure of our political institutions, national and local, are in a transition state. We can no more go back to the old condititn of things of 1860 than to the old confedera- tion of the last century. We must go on with the course of events. The revolutionary changes effected by this war of four years have advanced us a century in the “manifest des- tiny” of this mighty nation. We must shape our action accordingly. We must act for the country as we find it after the war, and not for the country as it was before the war; for the deluge has swept all those old things away. In this view of the snbject, in casting about for the best materials from which to organize a patriotic, intelligent, compact and reliable national party for the work of reconstruction which is before us, we have come to the con- clusion that in our citizen soldiers and sailors, who have saved the country, we have the very materials desired to re-establish the coun- try, and on a solid national foundation. From the rebel bombardment of Fort Sumter in April, 1861, to this day, including three months, six months and nine months men, one, two and three years men, volunteers, con- scripts, regulars, irregulars and militia, we have had probably not less than two millions of loyal soldiers in the field, and two hundred thousand sailors, salt and fresh water. Of this force the casual- ties of the war have carried off, we will say, three hundred and fifty thousand men; so that, including those still in the field, we have now over a million and a half of loyal soldiers and sailors—intelligent, experienced, patriotic men; the blood and muscle, the bone and sinew of the country; the men who, with their strong arms and stout hearts, have carried ue safely through such a tempest of flood and fire as the world elsewhere has never known; and these men, we say, are the proper materials from which to bufld a substantial, patriotic and cohesive and enduring national party. From a natienal political party, formed of such materials, in all just, wise and expe dient measures, the administration of President Johnson will: be sure of a cordial support; against such 4 party the intractable rebel ele- mente of the South will be powerless for any further mischief, as will also our selfish and un- scrupulous disorganizing politicians of the North. In short, a national citizen soldiers’ party against all scheming cliques and combi- nations of reckless, insurrectionary, plotting politicians, will be « sure protection to the general government, the States and the people. We, therefore, would call upon our citizen sol- diers and sailors returned from the war to con- sider this proposition and proceed to organize accordingly a new national party for the next Presidency. They have the power in their hands, and they have the experience and intel- ligence, necessary to wield their power wisely and successfully. It is to the intelligence of the brave defend- ers of the Union in this way, to their compre- hensive understanding of the issues and dangers involved in the struggle, to their confidence in their cause, and to their patience and endur- ence under allj circumstances, that we are in- debted for the salvation of the Union, They have saved it and they can re-establish it on a solid and lasting basis. Therefore it is that we call upon our citizen soldiers and sailors, Bast and West, to proceed to the organization of a new national party, entirely new and indepen- dent of any other party; for we are sure that the future interests of the Union and the Ameri- can people cannot be placed jn safer bands. Tax Navy Yarp axp THe Verenawe.—We published on Sunday» statement from three soldiers who had served in the army since 1861, complaining that they had been dismissed from the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and men who had never been in the army or navy were retained in their places. These veterans were employed by Admiral Paulding some time ago, in accordance with the desire expressed by the government that soldiers and sailors who had served in the war should have the preference of public offices; but it appears that this rule has been violated in the cases referred to. Such men are justly entitled to employment rather than mere political agents and machines, who are for the most part the recipients of public favors. The wishes of the people are entirely in consonance with those of the gov- ernment on this question, and we call the atten- tion of the War and Navy Departments to the facta in this case. We hope that every place under the government for which veterans are fitted will be given to them, without any regard to political affiliations or mere party services. It is thus that a government can best acknowl- edge the sacrifices and reward the services of those who have fought in ite defence. Private Mites O’Remiy wa New Freo.— We perceive that private Miles O'Reilly, the celebrated song writer, has been mustered out of the United States service and has taken to the field of journalism. During the four years’ war he has seen a great deal of life with the army. He has seen much service in the South, and in the West, and in the North. He has been several times up and down the Shenan- dosh valley, sometimes chasing the rebels and sometimes being chased by them. He had the honor, too, of once having manacles on his limbs, like Jeff. Davis, for some of his disor- derly songs down in South Carolina, But that is all over now. He has left the army and is publishing a journal in this city which he calls the Citizen. He ought to call it the Citizen Soldier, and fill its columns with sketches of all the military heroes who distin- guished themselves during the war. There will soon be returning to private life nearly a mil- Mon of soldiers who might subscribe to his paper, every one of whom has a history of his own, and he would thus be in no want of either materials, admirers or subscribers. Indeed he might easily get up a list of about four hundred thousand-of the latter, and make his paper a splendid thing. We would further advise him to organize these soldier friends into a new political party, and sweep away the rotien re- publican party, and the rotten democratic party, as private O’Reilly and General Grant swept away the rebellion. Cawapraw Consrirators Borsterino UP Tax Case.—We have received some afiidavits from the late rebel agents in Canada which are in- tended to impugn the testimony of one of the witnesses on the assassination trial before the Military Commission at Washington, relative to the complicity of the Canadian conspirators with the murder of Mr. Lincoln and other rebel atrocities. We do not publish them because we do not know by what hocus-pocus they were got up; although we know that they were procured from some of the subordinates of such miscreants as Sanders and Jake Thompson. The intention. of course, is to raise a smoke about the testimony of one witness, in order to shake the credibility of all. For this purpose copies of these affidavits have been sent to the newspapers in the United States, Canada and England—like the impudent manifestoes of these conspirators—in the hope of prejudicing public opinion. We hope tbat the news- papers generally will refuse to publish them. They are got up to shield the guilty parties who were engaged in the horrible crimes for which the prisoners at Washington are now on trial, and are not worthy of any consideration in the face of facts already proven before the Military Commission. i Tax Crrzen Sorpmns’ Party—Proposep Mzerma iw THis Crry.—All the returned soldiers who reside in this city should come together immediately, and take the proper steps for the organization of a party of the real men of the country that shall run the political huck- sters out of the way forever. For years it has been our political disease, the cause of all our troubles, that the real men of the country were not active enough politically, and left the inte- rests of the nation to professional tricksters. The time is auspicious for a change. The country is full of bold, intelligent men who have saved it on the battle field. Let them now save itin another way. The soldiers are the real democracy, {the true representative men of the nation. Let them assert themselves, and the factions will hide their heads for shame. Come out, soldiers! Organize, organize, or- ganize. Let the real men of the countty make its policy, and put a government in place to suit themselves. Make way for the bluecoate, or they will make one for themselves. How at 3g Serrix Toe Neoxo Sorrrace Ques- TIon.—We would give the suffrage at once to four classes of Southern n First, and emphati. cally,to every negro who has borne arms in the cause of the United States; second, to every negro who owns real estate; third, to every negro who can read and write; and, fourth, to every negro who had belonged to any religious organization or church for five years before the war. These points would cover every one that ought to vote, and they would insure in every negro voter a spirit of manhood as well as discipline; some practical shrewdness, intel- lectual development, and moral consciousness and culture, It ie well worth the considers- tion of the President whether something like this should not be included in the scheme of reconstruction. Lanp Warrants ror Souprers—How To Make 4 Lorat Sovrazrn Prortz.—We have not heard yet whether the surviving heroes of this war are to have @ hundred and sixty acres a piece. They ought to have, of course, and the acres ought to be chosen of the: best in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Ala- dame, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, in abandoned lands or confiscated ostates. That's the way to give a proper tone to the Southern society of the next generation. ‘Wintan Ganvey.—Mise Hosmer appeared last night an Evadne, supportedfby Messrs.

The Transportation of Soldiers. ‘The transportation of the large number of returni: soldiers from this city to their homes is exclusively at- tended to by the Quartermaster’s department. In this duty Captain D. Stinson and Captain D, H. Dyer, Assist- ant Quartermasters under General Van Viiet, are daily busily engaged in filling up papers and distributing the traffic upon the different railroads #0 asto meet the ca- pacity of the lines, and tq expedite as much as possible the tranmission of the soldiers to the anxious hearts awaiting them at home. THE JEWS IN COUNCIL. Board of Delegates of American Israelites. ‘The Board met last evening pursuant to adjournment, Judge Cordoza in the chair. Rev. Isaac Leeser, of Phila- delphia, opened tho meeting with a prayer; after which the following gentlemen were elected to the Executive Committee, in addition to those clected yesterday :—Rev. J. J. Lyons, J. Sonneberg, Lewis Astrand D. Kempner, of this city; 8. Price, of Baltimore; Mr. Ernstein, of Philadelphia; Mr. Peoras, of Memphis; Mr. Edelman, of Paterson; Alex. Fink, of Pittsburg. ‘The report of the Business Committee was submitted and accepted. It recommended the adoption of suitable resolutions on the retarn of peace, to bo drafted by the Executive Committes. A vote of thanks to our Consul at Tangiers, Mr. Mc- Math, for his noble action in the difficulties of the Jows in Morocco, was given, and the secretary instructed to transmit the resolution. Tne committee also recommended the adoption of proper measures to prevent the attempt at engrafting any religious matters mto the constitution of the United States. This matter gave rise to a debate, which was opened by Rev. Mr. Leeser, who moved that all congro- gations, whether orthodox or reformed, be invited to co- operate in promoting this subject. He moved that the executive committee be instructed, whenever any mat. ter reapecting the engrafting of any religious denomi nation was coming up, to issue a ciroular and submit it to the Jewish people of the conntry for signature, Mr. A. £ ‘Cony objected to any such delay as danger. ous, a néw or never was the time. Tho full board had to meet the question, and not the executive committee. Steps were now being taken in tho smallest towns to act ainst Jadaism and Catholicism, and the Jews should js0 act at once. Mr, Bennett Kixa was of the same opinion and be- lieved that the reference of this matter to any com- mittee was not advizable, ‘The resoluuon was then amended by the reverend movor to read as follows:— Resols That whenever any attempt {is made to engraft any meligicas belief on the Tsonetituten of the Untted Nato the Executive Commitice be and are hereby dit ee rea memorial and send it to al} con; ations for signa- area gatiaiwoto take puch further action in the premiocs as may be deemed necpssry. The committee also recommended that circulars be adopted, inviting the presidents of every congregation to collect memorials regarding the heroic deeds of Jews that a committco of three bo ap- during the war, and pointed for this purpose. Rev.
