. ’y‘i P‘— ntwallt Tuesday, May 16, 1865. Our WashingtouLet-ter. WASHINGTON, May 13th 1865. Perhaps the most important event to be recorded in the Capitol this week is the conclusion of the . stupeuduous labors of the Committee on the conduct ofthe War, prosecuted by them with such diligence and vigilance during the past three years of Titanic struggle. The result or their labors accompanied - by copious notes and eXplanatory figures, will be re- garded by the coming generations of Americans as the only real and reliable history of this war for the maintenance of the Republic. Three large volumes have already been published, and their contents are familiar to the public. Three more were sent to the , press yesterday, and another win he sent in amonth; ’ and the eighth (and probably) the last, will be pub- lished before Congress meets next December. I know something of the contents of the. last four volumes, and can give the readers of the GAzsrrn an inkling in advance of any telegraphic reports. The fullest. and most impartial testimony has been carefully taken, and every point of our military experience siuce'the appointment ofthe committee . The evidence bearing on the RedRiver campaign is very damaging to Gen. Banks, and exhibits in him an incompetency, an inversion of all military tac- tics aud an unworthiness of motive, from the re- proach of which he will never be able to recover. This volume demonstrates that disastrous campaign to have been merely a grand cotton speculation ven- ture—and that,too, in the interest of individuals, and_not for the government. The Secretary of War did not authorize the Ex- pedition, Halleck professes he did not 1: now of it until it was over ; everybody in Washington stead- fastly refuses to father it ; the forthcoming volumes will tell this. Why may not I ? Further, these volumes will amply and explicitly justify General Butler in the Fort Fisher affair.— Through denunciations and obloquy he has not waited for his vindication in vain. Gens. Weitlel, Butler, Terry, and Porter have been before the Committee, and their testimony shows that Butler did at least approximately right. Terry says it was a fair Military question with two sides to it, wheth- er to land and attack or not; and Gen. Weitzel, the » special friend of Gen. Grant, says that if he had gone in a storm. at the head of the expedition, as Gen. Butler did. he should not have attacked if the ' assault had been left discretionary with himself, The volumes are full of interest and tend to clear up many reputations that now ,seem involved, and to make many paths straight that have hitherto seemed terribly crooked. ' A year ago last MarchI heard Benj. G. Harris. of Aid, shout defiantly in Congress, with clenched fist and flashing grey eyes, “ The South is not subjuga- tedl the South cannot be subjugated and I thank God for it 1" On Thursday I heard him say, hum- bly and meekly to a Military Court Martial trying him as atraitor for his life, “ Be generous and mor- ciful gentlemen, I beg of you. You are conquerors, the ideas of the North are triumphant and the South is summarise.” Iconfess to a patriotic thrill of : joy when I saw the traitor subdued, mein and tone, and his words sounded like grateful music. This morning Imet a prominent officer of the Govern- ment just from Richmond. He says the only lan- guage he heard among his old friends there who had been influential rebels, was, “ We are subjugated and will accept joyfully any terms you may offer . us.” Those who have been active rebels are very much dejected, many of them are in tags. All of them are penniless, the men who have been most defiant and the women who have been proudest, go- ing withbowed heads to the “Yankee” Commissa- ries and drawing their daily bread. The hatred of Jeff Davis is universal and most bitter. The ex- rebels in Richmond denounce him as a thief and a murderer, and my informant says if he were to re turn he would be torn in pieces by the mob. Going and coming he saw but few houses and those dilapi- dated ones, and deserted, and no fences whatever. Au airof dreadful desolation prevails everywhere. On all the lines of travel he saw but two work hor- ses with which ahopeful farmer was timidly turning up the sod covered with the rank luxuriancc of four summers. Virginia, “ the mother of Presidents,” became the mother of vandals, and now she sits dead in her sack cloth and ashes. A reconstruction day however is at hand. Judge Underwood informed me yesterday, that Gov. Pier- pont is on his way to Richmond to preside over the destinies of “Old Virginia“ restored, that Collect- ors and Assessors of Internal Revenue, U. S. J udg- es, &c., have been appointed in all the districts of the State, and that the ancient commonwealth is about to take anew lease of life, made heroic by _ new blood drawn from the veins of a new genera- tion and glorified with new ideas. , Ever old and ev- er new—the old ideas of Washington, J efi‘crson and Randolph, vindicators in this second sacred war for the rights of human nature. Of those who now come forward for the redemption of Virginia, there is no other man who has such a significant and re- markable record as Hon. John G. Underwood, now Judge of the Eastern Courts of the State. He is the prophet whom his fellow citizens have stoned for fifteen years. Continually threatened, ostracised, persecuted and exiled by his fellow citi- zens, he has dared to be an Anti-Slavery man, hold- ing up its banner high and announcing its truth. He raised aFremont flag in ‘56 and kept it up until the mob tore it down. ‘ There is a just-ice rarely attained in history ; in the recent vote in the Legislature of Virginians, who now sit “clothed in their right minds,”electiug to the United States Senate this man who was not atraid to be advertised as a friend of the outlawed helots of our land, and was willing to be despised for the sake of the poor and the weak! Whats miracle day is this, when penalty treads so closely on the heels of treason, and repentant States vie with each other in honoring the men they have just persecutedl Have we not in a very deep and genu- ine sense lived a hundred years since the old flag. strong in its weakness, went down at Sumter. I have just had the pleasure of mailing a thirty days" furlough to 001. Noble of the gallant 17th, who with other Ct. heroes arrived last night at Annapo- lis—amongthem Capt. Fred Betta of Norwalk, who will soon be home to greet you. 01' the stupenduous subcriptions to our National Loan, Ineed not stop to write! How have a free people exalted themselves in the eyes of an admir- ing, bewildered world. Where in earth’s history can we find our parallel ? What pride, what exultag tion, what sincere devotion, what sublime admira- tion, what fervent love of country should thrill every loyal heart at God’s wonderful designs with the new-born American Nation.’ ' B. .‘...- SUICIDE—A woman named Mary .E.‘ Fol- lett, died on Friday last from the effects of strychnine, administered by herself. She took the strychuiue on Thursday about noon, and during the afternoon Drs. Mos- man and Wallace were called in, administer- ed an emetic, and thought they had succeed- ed in removing from her stomach all the strychnine she had taken. .Abaut noon, on . Friday, however, she died from exhaustion. An inquest was held on Saturday, at the of- fice of J. F. Foote, Esq., and after examining . several witnesses, adjourned until a Witness now absent from towa, returned. The de- ceased was a married woman about 28 years of age. ‘ . ._..._....—..-4.>. \ WWe learn with pleasure that Rev.

Jefferson Davis, a “distinguished Southern Gcnileman,”aud so called “President of the Confederate States of America, for whose presence in Washington a pressmg call was recently made, has finally been found, way down in Georgia, with his face to the—coast. rcgally dressed in feminine apparel, with tho uufcmiuinc additions oflop boots and spurs, and alters. brief consultation n illi northern “minions" he has c~ncluded to accept the kindly proffered opportunity of visiting Washington, to seehis old friend Andy Join.- son, and to show reasonable cause, if any exists, why his ambition should not be grat- ified, and his long cherished ideas of reach- ing an exalted position be fulfilled. The following official telegram will ex- plain the reason of his sudden '“ change of base.” MACON. Ga, Friday. May l3,—-—9:30 a. In. Hon. E. M: Stanton Seo’y of War 2' - Lieut. Col. Hardee, commanding the 1st Wisconsin, has just arrived from Irwiusville. He struck the trail of Davis at Dublin, Lau rcus County, on the evening of the 7th, and iollowed him closely night and day through the pine wilderness of Alligator Creek and Green Swamp, via Cumberlapdvdle, to Ir- winville. At CumberlandVIlle, Col. 'Har- den‘ met Col. Prlchard wrth 150 picked men, and horses of the 4th Michigan. Harden followed the trail directly south, while Prichard,having fresher horses, pushed down the 0cmulgee toward Hopewell, and thence by House Creek to Irwinsville, arriving there at midnight of the 9th. Jeff Davis had not that his party were encamped two miles out of the town. He made disposition of his men, and surrounded the camp before day. Harden had camped, at 9 p, m , within two miles, as he afterwards learned, from Davis; The trail being too indistinct to follow, he pushed on at 3 a. m., and had gone but little more than one mile when his advance was fired upon by men of the 4th Michigan. A fight ensued, both parties exhibiting the greatest determination. Fifteen minutes elapsed before the mistake was discovered. The firing in this skirmish was the first we ruing that Davis received. The captors report that he hastily put on one of his wife's dresses and started for-the woods, closely followed by our men, who at first thought him a woman, but seeing his boots while he was running, they suspected his sex at once. The race was a short one, and the Rebel President was soon brought to bay. He brandished a bowie-knife and showed signs of battle, but yielded promptly to the persuasions of Colt’s revolverswithout compelling the men to fire. He expressed great indignation at the energy with which he was pursued, saying that he had believed our Government more magnanimous than to hunt down women and children. Mrs. Da- vis remarked to Col. Harden after the can citement was over that the men had better not provoke the President, or “he might hurt some of ’em.” Reagan behaves him- seliwith di city and resignation. The Par-y ty, evident y, were making for the coast. J. H. WILsON; Brev. Maj-Gen. .q.-.*___.. The Eighth Regiment, C. M. In accordance with the requirements of the Slate Militia Law, Col. Craufurd issued orders for the Regiment to assemble in this drill. The day was very pleasant, the streets in fair order, and everything was favorable for the drill. The companies from abroad arrived early in the morning, and at 9 o’clock, a. m., the Regimental line was form- ed on Washington street, South Norwalk. We give below the formation of the Regi- ment, with names of officers, and number of men in each Company : (Joined—ROBERT B. CRAUFURD, Non vnlk. Lt. Col—M. M. Norton, “ Mafia—Thus. A.

Wilson) the Regiment marched up-town, through the Bridge, around the Green, through North avenue, and back to Union Park. After a short rest, they were drilled by Col. Craufurd until noon, and dismissed for dinner. After dinner they were exercised in Battalion drill by Lt.-Col. Norton, Maj. Haight, Capt. W. R. Smith. and Col. Craufurd. Maj. Comstock of New Canaan, formerly of the 13th C. V., and now a member of the Legislative Military Com- mittee, inspected the arms, equipments, uni- forms, &c. About 4 1 2 o’clock, p. m., a Dress Parade was held, after which the line of march was taken up for South Norwalk, where the Regiment was dismissed. Holding ourselves the responsible position of high privates in the ranks, we modestly refrain from saying anything about the sol- dierly bearing and general creditable appear- ance of the troops, believing that the public recognized and appreciated these qualities. The Regiment lacks four companies of be- ing complete. This sh'ouhlnot be, and does not speak well for the enterprise and public spirit of such places as Bridgeport, Danbury, Bethe] and Stamford. Will not the citizens of the above named places move in the mat- ter, and fill up the Regiment to the full num- ber of Companies, at least. We would tender our thanks to the Whee- ler 8.7 Wilson Band for the high compliment paid by them to the old GAZETTE. May Presperity ever be thiers. _.__-—..‘.-.._._.___.. ‘ WTbc Hartford Press tells of a Country member of the new legislature who recently ateashad and a half at a meal, and com- plained of lean living at that.

SrnrNGrInLn, ILL, May 4th, 1865. "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.” and the nation has “ buried its dead out of Its sight.“ We arrived in Springfield during the night, and in the morning twilight joined the slow procession that moved with steady trend toward the State House. The morningbrcczc fiappcdmournfully the heavy drapery fcstooned from every house. or waved the lighter streamers of black and white crape. The city was indeed silent and sad. We passed in to view thcrcmaius; the face was dark, but anatural. a mild, I may almost say a sweet ex- pression rested on the features. There was nothing in the least repulsive connected with the scene. It was easy to realize that the form before us—and only held back from the quiet rest of the grave by who was known on earth as “an honest man—the noblest work of God," and who in Heaven stands with martyrs before the Eternal Throne. “ Washington was the Father, Lincoln the sa- viour;" “Rather than surrender these principles, I would be assassinated on the spot l" were the not- toes we noticed in the State House. Hall. Many stores also7displayed appropriatesentlments, as, “ He left us upheld'by our prayers, . He returns embalmed in our tears.” Over the‘National Bank and opposite the State House, ' L * ‘ “As honest aman lies here at rest, As‘everlGod with his image blest, Few hearts like his with virtue warmed, ; Few heads with knowledge so adorned.” Also, ' ‘ “Millionsbless his name." From the State House, after striviugin vain to obtainla breakfast, we, proceeded to Lincoln’s . for- mer residence; This neat brown cottage, It photo- graph ,of which will doubtless be, in every house, wits a great centre of attraction. The thanks of the publicare due to the present occupant, ‘who so kindly permitted sprigs, of myrtle and of the byfthe visitors. 3 » » After visiting the handsome residences 'of Gov. Yates, and Ex-Gov. Mattison, we repaired to the “Mather Place,”vwherc it was then supposed the remains. would be deposited. These truly beautiful grounds 'were well filled with persons anxious to secure a good position, although it was not later than 8 A. M. ’ We made several sketches of the tomb, waited about an hour, and then ascertained that the funeral would take place at the Cemetery. We accordingly removed tothe steps of the Court House to witness the procession. . The music was very superior—the tones sweetly ”silvery and pensive. The sight of Lincoln‘s horse, deeply caparisoned with black, and led by two col- ored grooms, was very affecting. We concluded to walk to Oak Ridge, though a distance of three miles. Crowds of citizens, ladies and gentlemen, also walked out by the side of the procession, notwith- standing the excessive heat of the day, and the roughness of the roads. Everyone seemed to have a feeling of satisfaction in paying the last tribute of respect to the memory of the loved and honored dead. The last tribute did I_ say? No, the last tribute of respect will never have been paid to the memory of Abraham Lincoln 1 We left Springfield in the six o’clock train to r St. Louis. By invitation we rode in the car prepared originally for the Prince of Wales, and were hon- ored with the company of Gov. Bramlette of Ken- tucky and suit, Brig. Gen. D. C. Mccuilum, Capt. John C. Wymau, Col. J. H. Foster, also J. B. Black- stone, Prest. C. A. & St Louis R. R., R. Hale, Supt., and R. N. Rice, Supt., Mich. Central R. R. Thousands will remember this day as a marked eventin their lives. All seemed to feel themselves to be chief mourners. It was very affecting to no- tice the feeling of personal attachment evinced, by all the people of Springfield. The poorest houses, the plainest cottages, even mere shanties bore some token of respect and grief. We were particularly attracted by the motto. “ Cars in life, in death the nations,” and Lincoln‘s own words. “ With enmity towards none, with charity for all.” Though we can scarcely join in the feeling, but prefer to obey the scriptural injunction, rendering to all their dues, to “Cmsar the things that are Cazsar’s” and to traitors the halter they deserve. ————-—o -<.|>.._——..

It was purchased bylthe blood ofmauy a~v'aliaut revolution- ary hero; has been guarded by a Washington a J ef- fersonian, a Clay, and a Webster. But dearer still to the hearts of the people is that world-renowned remedy, known as Coe’s Cough Balsam. It cures like magic the most violent attacks of croup, and is indispensable in every family of children. Colds, sudden coughs. sore throat, hoarseness, and inflamed lungs, are instantly and surely cured by its timely use. No cough mixture has ever been known that equals it, which accduuts for its great popularity with all classes. .The young and old-the rich and poor—physicians, druggist-and all ‘who have ever tested it speak in the hishest terms of its merits. We saylo our readers—buy it and tr'yit. It costs but 40 cents the bottle, contains twice as much med- icine as you can obtain in any other way at the same cost, and all our drug stores keep it. in“! -<.>.

There are many forms, but none more phi- losophical or handy than the one sold by Lesley &. Elliott, 494 Broadway, N.

Persons of sedentary habits troubled with weak ness, lassitude, palpitatiou of the heart, lack of ap- petite, distress aftcr eating, torpid liver, constipa- tion, Arc. deserve to suffer if they will not try the celebrated ’ PLANTATION BITIBRS. which are now reccommeuded by the highest medi- cal authorities, and warranted to produce an Imme- diate beuificial efi‘ect. They are exceedingly agree- able, perfectly pure, and supercede all other tonics where a healthy, gentle stimulant is required. They purify, strengthen and invigorate. They create a healthy appetite. They are an antidote to change of water and diet. They overcome effects of dissipation and late hours They strengthen the system and enliven the mind. They prevent miasmatic and intermittent fevers. They purify the breath and acidity of the stomach They cure Dyspepsia and Constipation. They cure Diarrhoea, and Cholera Morbus. They cure Liver Complaint and Nervous Headache They make the weak strong, the languid brilliant, and are exhausted nature's great restorer. They are composed of the celebrated Calisaya bark, win- tergreen, asssafras, roots and herbs, all preserved in pure St. Croix rum. For particulars, see circulars and testimonials around each bottle. Beware of imposters. Examine every bottle. See that it has our private U. S. Stamp unmutilated over the cork, with plantation scene, and our sig~ nature on a fine steel plate side label. See that our bottle is not refilled with spurious and deleterous stufi‘. Any person pretending to sell Plantation Bito ters by the gallon or in Bulk, is an imposter. Any person imitating this bottle, or selling any other material therein, whether called Plantation Bitters or not, is a criminal under the U. 8. Law, and will be prosecuted by us. We already have our eye on several parties refilling our bottles, to. who wil snccecdiu getting themselves into close quarters. The demand for Drakes Plantation Bitters from la~ dies, clergyman, merchants. &c. is incredible. The simple trial of a bottle is the evidence we present of their worth and superiority. They are sold by all cspectable druggists, grocers, physicians, hqtels, saloons, steamboats and country stores. P. H. DRAKE & CO. Broadway, N. can R2 REED.
