If lha news we cublished yeserday from
Senatobia is true, William H. Beward, the
cold-blooded and heartless political mis
creant, who guided the iniernal policy
which plungea us into mis djoouv aim uew
olating war, has been arrested by an angry
God in the midst of his iniquities, and has
paid the penalties of bis crimes at tbe
hands of an unknown assassin.
For ratiy vears Mr. Seward has been me
moving spirit of northern hostility to the
South, and to his enmity and ambitious de
eigns do we owe this war. It it doubtful
whether Linooln would nave nan mo nerve
to press the differences between tbe two
sections to the point of actual collision, if
Mr. Seward bad not stood at his back, and
with his devilish malice urged him on.
Doubtless. Seward bad conceived in nu
own mind soma mighty scheme of Govern
ment, in which the Soutnern ounce snouia
play but a subordinate ptrt, to tbe success
of which it was neceensary that tne in
stitution of slavery, which was a para
mount interest, and gave strength and
nnitv to the South, and enabled it to ex
ercise an important, if not a controlling
interest in tbe uovernment suouia us u en
troy ed. He declared years ago that there
was an " lrrepreseiDieconuici Between mo
Northern and Southern systems of labor,
and that the one must supersede the
other. . .
He steadilv and Dersutently punned tne
warfare uron our institutions, until he had
created a party sufficiently strong to elect
a President, and then taking the Premier
ship under that President, he inaugurated
this war with the view to tne extinction ei
slavery, though it thould involve the
slaughter and the ruin of the entire white
nsmiiiHiion ol intsa outus-.
His ambitious plans have been brought
to a bloody, we do not say fitting, conclu
sion. If it was right fsr Brutus to slay the
despotic Caesar, who shall say that the man
who slit the throat of this arch-plotter
against the lives and liberties of this peo
ple is not worthy the laurel wreath.
And Abe Lin coin, too, tbe political moun
tebank and professional joker, whom na
ture intended lor the ring of a circus, bat
hum a stranee streak of popular aeiuaion
elevated to tne Presidency he also has
fallen. Hit career was as snort as it was
hlmriv and infamous. He has gone to an
swer before tne bar of God, for tbe inno
cent blood which he has permitted to be
shed, and his efforts to enslave heroic
PJia- . i .. .fftntantW rtar
ticular to enable us to judge in regard to
the motives which prompted ine aisassins
to their work. We presume that the
South will be charged with inciting them
to their bloody work, ana tnat a nigu am

consequence. But while we do not know
anything concerning the cause of these

TRIAL OF BENJ. HARRIS.
WASHINGTON, May 9.
At the trial of Benj. J. Harris this
morcing, Mr. A- Fen wick, a neighbor and
friend of Mr. Harris, was called as a wit
ness for the defense. He testified that
Chapman and Bead, saying they were pa
roled prisoners, called at his house on the
evening of the 26th of April and asked to
be accommodated for the night. He re
fused to lodge them in his house, but told
them they might go into the burn. To
the best of his knowledge and belief they
stayed in tbe barn that night. The ac
cused here closed his case.
The Judge Advocate offered as evidence
various orders of Lieut. General Grant
and General Ord, explanatory of the terms
of surrender, providing that paroled sol
dien residing south of Richmond must go
home as speedily as possible by the moi-t
direct route, and that transportation and
subsistence were not to be furnished those
who failed to go home, but that they
might go free on government boats when
in direct route to their homes.
The accused objected to the admission of
tbe order as evidence, and the court thon
adjourned until Thursday, in order to give
the accused time to prepare his defense.
ARMY MATTERS.
NEW YORK, May 9.
The Bichmond Whig of the 8th records
tbe passage through tbat city, on Satur
day, of the 2d and 6th corps of the army
of the Potomac, estimated at from 45,000
to 60,000 strong. They occupied five
houre and three quarters in passing a givpn
point. They bivoucked ten miles east of
Bichmond on Saturday night.
The 14'.h corps of Sberman's army
arrived at Richmond on Sunday, Wol
cott's division being in advance.
The 20th, 15th and l7th corpi were
within one day's march.
The 14th corps marched 190 miles in six
days. -
Trains are now running from Bichmond
to Danville.
The Bichmond Whig tays: On the
march the troops of the 2d and 6th corps
nasBed tbe Libbv prison, which was inclu
ded in tbe route in order to gratify the
soldiers. It was marked alternately by
cheen and groans from those who, from
time to vime, in the progress of the war,
were so unfortunate as to be inmates of its
inhosnitable walls. Whether designedly
or not, the programme of the route took
the line past (ienerai iee s residence, on
Franklin street, and those of the soldiers
who were aware of the probable proximity
of that distinguished chief of the late Con-
f ad orate armies, cneerea lustily as tne resi
dence was anDroached and passed. It is
said that General Lee stood at the closed
blinds of one of the windows and viewed
the pageant for a few minutes, w e under
stand that the route of the procession was
selected and led through the streets that
would best afford the troops an opportuni
tv of viewing the citv before which they
had been f zhting four vears for its posses
sion, and the soldiera seemed to enjoy the
spectacle with pleasure, though without
anv demonstrations whitever.
Major General Halleck has made his ap
nnintmantof Judges of the Court of Con
ciliation for the settlement of claims and

H. W. Thomas, late State Auditor; Wm.
H. Lvons. late Judge of Hustings Court,
and J. A. Mereditn. late Judge of tbe
Circuit Court of Bichmond, are named as
the hoard.
Tha Whig also has the following : Some
idea of the immense business of the com
missary department of a large army may
ha rained from the fact that the Coinmis-
sary of Gen. Sherman's army had an order
on Saturday to issue 1,600,000 ration, for
tha anatanance of the army on its march
from Manchester to Washington.
Cant. Tbos. W. Downed, late Assistant
Proviwt Marshal of Jucbmono, under tne

Before we begin to transact our regular

have shown that persistency and valor
which must finally conquer even over ths

Tbe Guaymasians were surprised by the

COMMENTS ON THE ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT
LINCOLN.
Commenting on the assassination of Pres
ident Lincoln the London Globe says:
The news trom America will send a thrill
horror through the land. It is too soon
estimate the depth and breadth of the
great calamity to America and Europe.
Mr. L. had come nobly through tbe great
ordeal. He had extorted approval even
from his opponents on this side of the
water. They hal reluctantly admired his
rmnefs, fairaess and sagacity. He had
done what he considered to be his duty
with magnanimity. Ha hal never
called vengeance upon one individual. In
dealing with foreign countries, and m
his expressions in regard to them, he came
to be remarkable, because he thowed
justness of view and tone which were not
common among American Presidents. In
the hour when the cause he had labored
for was about to triumph, and peace once
moie prevail over the torn and bleeding
continent, ho was shot by a cowardly assassin.
Who era possibly say what flood
gate thU act may not open, to what other
crime it may not lead 7 The future, how
ever, defies conjecture. AH we can do
to express the grief we sincerely feel that
our transatlantic cousins should have
been deprived of one who will henceforth
rank among the most honest of American
Presidents.
The Star says: The whole civilized
world will lament the cruel death of Presi
dent Lincoln. Now that the pro-slavery
rebellion has been put down, and slavery
received its death blow, he has accomplish

said to contain Mrs. Davis and family.
A colored man, apparently intelligent
and truthful also just in from Greensboro
asserts that he saw Jeff Davis in Greens
boro'; that Davis left tnere on the cars,
and that one of the cars of the train was
believed to have been loaded with specie.
Davis made a speech -before starting, in
which he said he was going to Texas, and
expressed a faith still abiding and un
quenched in tha eventful triumph of tha
southern cause.

was somewhere in Florida, making ar
rangements to secure the safe departure of
Davis to Cuba or congenial European
climes.
These reports you will see, are exceed

made so purposely, to put the military and
