Wasuinaton, Nov. 7, 1865. + Yesterday afternoon, abou’ four o'clock, General Augur, commanding the Department of Washington, ac- ~companied by Major Russell, Provost Marshal, and Cap- tain George R. Walbridgs, Comuiandant of the Old Capitol prison, proceeded to Capta%: Wirz’s room, and, having informed him of bis unpicasant errand, read to him the death sentence and the time fixed for his execu- : tion—namoly, Friday noxt, between the Liours of six in the morning and noon. The prisoner listened tothe reading with much apparent composure, when General Augur : asked him whether he had anything to say, to which question the prisoner replied, “‘I have nothing to say + except that I desire to state to you that I am innocent of the charges brought against me.’ Having beon asked about his wife Le remarked that she was in Kentucky, and hardly could como here in time; besides he did not wish to witness the trouble in which she would be plungod at seeing him in his extremity. , The prisoner made a request that tho Rev. Father Boyle and Louis Schade, Esq., of his counsel should, bo sent for, which was granted. Before the officers retired Captain Wirz is represented as saying:—“I have beon Persecuted, and if there is such a thing as a sprit com- ing back to carth I'll come back to pers*cute those who have perjured themselves to hang me.’’ To-day Father Boyle, who had previously visited him during his imprisonment, was inattendance and talked ‘to him long and earnestly with reference to his spiritual interests, In the afternoon Mr. Schado called to see the prisoner, _ Who informed him that he last night ho slept better than | he had at any timo since ho was brought to Washington. | He was glad to be out of suspense; for he had desired to know his fate. j Three days ago he prepared a letter to be sent to Prosi- dont Johnson, requesting ‘his decision at ohce, to relieve | him of all anxioty. He made up his mind to suffer, but | ‘his anguish was now over, and he had no fear to meet ‘bis Maker, knowing that ho was to be made a sacrifice to suffer for the deeds of others. He felt resigned, and ‘bolioved that in all instances justice would be done to ) chim hereafter. He stated that Father Boyle had asked him to forgive | +all who had testified against him, and who Captain Wirz Said had perjured themselves in his case. Captain Wirz ‘replie& that though he was given up to die, he could } .mot conscientiously do so,.as he was opposed to his lips “uttering a sentiment of forgiveness that did not come ‘from his heart in humility, His lips must utter forgive- ness of his prosecutors, but he could not be a hypocrite at heart. Mr. Schade asked Captain Wirz if he desired any . money, he being in feeb‘e health and fed on prison fare. ‘The prisoner said he had only three days to live; three dollars would be sufficient—which amount Mr. Schade ‘handed to the officers. The Trial of Jeff. Davis. OOMPLETE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE CASE. Wasmnetox, Nov. 7, 1865. The Président yesterday received a numerous delega- ‘tion of ladies from Baltimore, deputed to present a peti- tion signed by fifteen thousand ladies, secking the Executive clemency in behalf of Jefferson Davis. Mrs. Coleman, daugliter of the late lamented John J. Critten- -don, addressed the President in feeling and appropriate ‘terms, to which he responded in a most felicitous man- ner, regretting that public policy prevented his yielding ‘to thoir porduasive and touching arguments. ‘The interview was a protracted one, and of the most agrecable character, and the fair petitioners left the city carrying with them the most pleasurable impressions of the President. In declining, the President regret- ‘ted that the national character of the question re- strained all private sympathy which they might have awakened in him, and made the important statement that comple'e arrangements have been made for the early -legah trial of Mr. Davis, according to the laws of the land. SEPP. DAVIS’ NEW OVERCOAT. Jeff. Davia’ new overcoat was sent down to Fortress Monroe to-day.

MARMAL. ‘Tho Farragut court martial to-day took up the case of Commodore Craven, charged, under the rules adopted for the better government of the navy, with failing to do his utmost to overtake and capture or destroy any vessel which it was his duty to encounter; the rebel ram ‘Stonewall boing in the harbor of Ferrol and he being in ‘command of the Niagara at tho time, and the Sacra- onto, another ship-of-war, being 1n port to aid him. ‘Upon the accused being arraigned for trial the President asked him if he had aay objections to any member of the court, when Commodore Craven replied that he objected t Captain Alden, and stated his objection to be ‘that Captain Alden had expressed an opinion. The sobjection was sustained by the court, and Captain Alden vwas oxcusod from serving on the trial. fhe accused being called upon to plead to the charges uted specifications, he asked time bofore so doing to allow bim to procure counsel, which was granted, and the court adjourned until to-morrow at eleven o’cloc! ANTBRVIBW OF AN INDIAN DELEGATION WITH TOE COMMISSIONER OF INDIAN AFFAIRS. Six chiefs of the Fox tribe had an interview with the ‘Commissioner of Indian Affairs this morning in relation ‘to their material intoreste. The Sacs and Foxes have 4 ‘treaty with the United States, a reservation in Kansas, and an annuity ef fifty-me thousand dollars; but the Foxes will not live with the Sacs, and have located in Towa, and now want the government to change arrange- monts to suit their circumstances. They were asked, among other things, bow they would like to go into the Indian Territory, where it was proposed to establish a government, embracing many of the Indian tribes; but they said they wanted to think all the ametters over. They had always been good friends to ‘our government and people. When, however, they ehune to talk with their white father there was always gonvething harsh. This was wrong. They could get salong better with smooth and easy words, They wanted to seo their white father, the President. The Commissioner replied that if the Foxes ran away ‘from the resorvation and disregarded the treaty, all tne advantages would inure to the Sacs. They must either ‘go back or tate some good reason why thoy will not re- urn. ‘The chiefs replied that it was impossible for them to livo with tho Baca, ‘They aro to have another talk with the Commissioner, and wore promised a sight of their white father beforo they loft Washington.

Among tho general officers of the volunteer service whom it is known the order about forthcoming from the War Department will muster out is General Hoffman, of the Commissary of Prisons Bureau. It is authoritatively stated that General Hitchcock will occupy the position to be made vacant by this retirement. Tho former officer is a colonel in the regular service, and will resume com- mand of his regiment, THE VETERAN BRSERVE CORPS. It is reported that in such portions of tho West where detachments of the Veteran Reserve corps have been peraded, in accordance with the orders lately issued for voting themselves in or out of the service, the privates have shown more disposition to perpetuate their term of service than the officers, who are said to be almost unanimous in their desire to be mustered out.

ReoErTioN py mus, “SIS Was, Mrs. Lewis B. Washington, whd bas Mrs. Douglas and Confiscated Property. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. New York Orry, Nov. 7, l In your edition of this morning, editorial page, cor pondence from Washington, appears a statement relating, to “abandoned and confiscated property,’ which I beg leave to bring to your personal notice with this emphat'c Contradiction of so much of the same as rolates to Mrs Douglas, The statement is as follows:— Rebels who are too well known to reclaim libelled pro- perty are resorting to all manner of devices to regain ita possession. A common dodge isto transfer it to persons of unquestioned loyalty, or to those holding Treasury permits to purchase. Mrs. Douglas 18 among the lator class, and is believed to haye been seriously imposed upon by unquestionably disloyal persons. The Treasury Department will show neither fear, favor nor affection in the examination of these doubtful transactions, and, un less overruled by higher authority, not even the shadow of Mr. Douglas’ great name will obscure the proportions of such frazds. Mrs Douglas has never hold a Treasury pormit to pur- chase; has never purchased for herself or others, directly or indirectly, any property whatever ofthe nature and description refered to; has never held any such by any method of transfer, assignment or trust, and has never even been approached with any solicitation or request to do the same by any person whatever, and has never been in any way connected with any person or class of persons engaged in such transactions, “The shadow of Mr. Douglas’ it name,’’ to use your correspendent’s phrase, connects itself only with that great man’s own historic siruggle in defence of those great principles of self-government which he hoped and believed would have averted civib war. With his own vigorous, unequivocal and patriotic maintenance and vin- dication of the government when war lad commenc d, and with the now daily increasing conviction of the great mass of the American people that the principles he advocated, so far as oepticame tothe changed condition of the country, are to lie at the foundation of its future welfare, happiness and peace, I am, sir, very respect fully, your obedient servant, Mt. Cl - Brevet Licut. Col. U. 8, A., Capt. Eleventh infantry, Attempt to Flood the City with Coun- terfeit Money. On Monday night a gang of counterfeiters was ob- served attempting to circulate counterfeit ton dollar bills on the Albany City Bank. Lorimer Peyton was arrested by officer Jackson, of the Eighth precinct, charged with offering one of the afore. said counterfeits at the store of W. C. Alburtis, No. 505 Broadway, It is also alleged that the accused offered a similar bill at the Tontine Hotel, Broadway. Previous to the arrest of Peyton two strangors at- tempted to victimize Mr. Alburtis with two of the coun- terfeit ten dollar bills, Detective McCarthy, of the Twenty-ninth precinct arrested a young man named David Fowler, piece with attempting to pass one of tho above counterfeits at the Louvre, corner of Brondway and Twenty-second street. The complainant against Fowler is Ernest H. Behr, an attache of the saloon. The same detective likewise arrested John Walker for attempting to pass another of these spurious bills at the Louvre. In this Ferme Ze possession were tound several of money. Later in the night officer Rowland, of the Twenty- ninth precinct, arrested William Nelson at the same 0 with attempting to pass one of the Al- bany bills.
