New York, May 25.—The following is the letter of fcJaermau, complaining of the sup pression oi his official report already re ferred to. Camp Neak Alexandria, ) May 19, 1805. f Deai; EJcwman : I am just-..rived. All my array will be in to day. I have been lost to the world in the wood3 for some time, yet on arriving at ihe settlements, find J have made quite a stir among tae people at heme, and tuat the most sinister motives have been ascribed to me. I have made irtqacht official reports oi my official ac tion in all public matters, and all ol them have been carefully suppressed, whilst the most ridiculous nonsense has been indus triously spread abroad through all the newspapers. Well, yoiUtnow what impor tance I attach to such matters, and that. I have been too iocg fighting with real rebels with muskets in their hands, to be scared by mere non combataats, -no matter how high their civil rank or station. It is amu3-- log to observe bow brave and firm some men become when all danger is passed. I have noticed on the field 01 battle that brave men never insult the captured or mutilate the dead, but cowards and laggards always do. 1 cannot now recall the quotation, but Shakspeare records how poor Fallstaff, the prince ol cowards and w ts, rising from a figured death, stabbed again the dead Percy and carried aloft the dead carcass in tri umph to prove his valor ; so, now, when the rebellion in our land is dead, many Fallstaff’s appear to brandish the evidence of their valor, and seek to win applause and appropriate honors for deeds that never were done. As for myseif, I ask no popularity, no reward, for I dare the War Department to publisu my official letters and reports. I assert that my official letters and reports have been purposely suppressed, while all the power of the press has been turned malignantly against me. I do want peace and security, and the return of law and justice fftm Maine to the Rio Grande, and it it does not now exist, now substan tially, it is tor Slate reasons beyond my comprehension. It may be thought strange that one who has no fame but as a soldier should have been so careful to try and re store the civil power of. the government, and the peaceful jurisdiction of the Federal Courts, but it is difficult to discover in that fact any just cause of offense to an enlight ened and free people, but when men choose to slander and injure others when they can easily invent facia for the purpose, when the purposed victim is far away engaged in the public service of their own bidding, but there is consolation in knowing that though truth lies iu the bottom of a well, the yan- kees have perseverance enough to gat to that bottom. Xours truly, - W. T. SHERMAN. New York, May 25.—The Herald’s Mont gomery correspondent details Murson’s raid through Alabama. He pa.-sed through Greenville, marching about four hundred miles, and reaching Montgomery on the 7th instant destroying on the waj r a large quantify ot rebel stores. Gov.

New York, May 25.—Texas papers of the 10th contain amusing accounts of at tempts to fire the. hearts of the Texans.

New York, May 25.—General Warren publishes a letter on the subjec ot his re moval trom command by the commander of the 5th corps; he says he was removed after the battle oi Fire Forks, and not an enemy- in sight. He asked Sheridan.for the reason of h;s removal, and he could not, or would not tfive any. He reported to General Grant who gave him another command; he then. April 9ch, asked an investigation, and again on the 22d, he could not get a court, but was put in command of Mississippi. He then details the operations ot April, .from which it appears he received an order from General Meade to report to him lor duty atter he had joined Sheridan, which he did, taking part iu the battle in Five Forks.

F.azen New York, May 25.—The price of gold 1 stiii tends steadily upward, chiefly the re- i suit of ihe demand for export. Premium j this morning touched 37$. t Washington, May 25.—Thifl morning a witness was called, who testified that on the 17 th \>f April he searched the baggage of Arnold a short distance from Fortress Mon roe, and found passes, clothing, and a navy revolver. The court here produced the pis ol which the witness identified. It was loaded then, as it was at this time. The court ordered the pistol to be discharged. Two other witnesses testified as to the hor rid treatment of the sick and wounded Un ion prisoners, both in the hospitals and at Libby prison. They were told by Major Turner, the keeper of Libby prison, that the treatment was good enough for Yankees. Out 01 40 sick brought, S or 10 died the first night. The weakness and emaciation of the prisoners was owing to the bad charac ter and insufficiency of the food. They were told tuat the bad treatment was iu the way of retaliation, on the ground that rebri prisoners had been treated worse than Union prisoners. Another witness testified that Libby pri son was mined and that Major Turner in formed him that he had seen Gen. Walker on the subject. The fuse was ready ior the mine at the lime cf Kilpatrick’s raid. Another witness was called, when the Judge Advocate General asked him whether Arnold was ever in the rebellion. Objec tion was made to the question. The Judge said the question was pertinent, as history had proved the connection between treason ana ihe assassination of the President. The assassination was manifestly a political of fence aud was the consequence of disloy alty. Mr. Ewirg said when tne court de cided that the question should be answered, the witness then replied that he saw Arnold in rebel uniform in the city of Richmond in the beginning of the war. Three colored persons testified as to their acquaintance with Mr. Muda, and said his conduct showed him t<f be a rebel,, aud sta ted that he had assisted rebel soldiers. A young man lrom Georgetown testified that ihe morning after the assassination he loaned Aizerat ten dollars, the latter leav ing with him a revolver as security. . The pistol was produced, which the witness identified, as it had been loaded ever since. Washington, May 25.—A special to the New York Commercial says, the quarrel of Sherman and Stanton increases in intensity and bitterness. The Chronicle contains a long communication‘from one of Sherman’s friends on the recent events, and the gen eral management of the war. The Depart ment of Stanton is reviewed in moat scath ing terms. The Post Master General had - started South to make arrangements for postal communications. There is no.longer a doubt that Davis will be tried for treason very soon in a civil court, probably in Washington. Gen. Lee wiil be indicted for treason by a grand jury in Richmond, soon. The moment he is in dicted his parole-xvift be ot no use to him Fortress Monroe, May 24.—A steamer sailed from this a. m. for Savannah, under sealed orders. Mrs. Davis and her four children go to Savannah, in the Clyde, as permission for them to proceed north has been refused by the War Department. ; Yesterday a guard was sent out to the Clyde and steamer and all the baggage and effects of the rebel party remaining on board, and a large amount of gold and valu able jewelry, etc., was found in the baggage of the ladies,but with the exception of some important documents, whicn were found by the guard, everything was left. Among ihe rumors floating in regard to the confinement of Jeff. Davia has been one to the effect that yesterday p. m. he was manacled in order to prevent, no doubt, any injury to his guard, should he, as Mrs? Da. via remarked, become provoked at the strict surveillance held over him. The strictest regulations respecting persona vis iting the Fortress are still rigidly enforced. No person, either officer or civilian, is allow ed to enter the Fortress, unless duly provi ded with a pass. The American BaysT Ex-Gov.

Letters of condolence were received by the American Consul from the officials. The gunboat Steady fired minute guns and the shipping flags were displayed at half mast. The American Consul’s office was draped in mourning. Uneasiness was felt in St. Lavader by signs of an attempt by the friends ot Gen eral Darraous* to oppose the Administra tion. It is certain that Spain has made claims on Chiii. How they will.be settled is not determined. The troubles in the Brazils still continue. Washington, May 25.—On opening the coyrt for the trial of the conspirators this morning, at the request of Mr. Cox the oath of allegiance purporting to be signed by Mr. Vallandigham was excluded irom the evi dence, as witness could not swear positively to the signature. Randall testified that he knew the pris oner Arnold; tound his carpet bag with some letters, papers, clothing,'a revolver and cartridges.. The revolver was banded over. Major Marsh testified that he was an offi cer in company M, 1st "regiment, from 1861 to March 30, 1864. He was a prisoner of war aud confined in Libby prison lrom June 15,1863, to March 21,1864; was detained, when captured, two weeks, on account of health. “My health improving, I was forced to march to Stanton, and treated kindly on the road by the escort; first rations at Libby prison were tolerably fair, half a loaf of bread was given each man, with four oun ces oi meat and several- spoonfuls of rice* four months meat was regular; things were stopped then, and we were deprived of wheat bread, and furnished with corn bread very coarse. I have known persons to be without meat three or four weeks at a time. We had a few potatoes of the very worst kind. A meeting of prisoners was called and a remonstration sent to the authorities. Col. Ould replied that the treatment was good enough, and better than the rebel prisoners got. After being there five months I was taken sick with dropsy, from bad treatment, and sent to the hospitaL I saw men brought in from Belle Isle in a starving condition, and out of 40 at least 12 died the first night. The surgeon told me this was caused by the want of good treatment. Two of ear prisoners escaped which made Maj. Tamer, in charge of the prison, become insulting, and he removed us from the hospital to Libby prison, in a wet room. Two of the sick were in a dying condition, and wero compelled to re main there 24 hours without attention, as a punishment for the escape of the two offi cers. A CoL Fowler, on being remonstra ted with, said the treatment was too d—d good for Yankees. The men could not possibly live on the rations. For days we lived on com meal. Capt. Emery, another prisoner, testified to the same treatment. The money belonging to the prisoners was taken from them. Alter the battle of Chickamanga, 15 or 16 sick were tied on a cart to keep them from falling off, although there were ambulances not in use. The committee of the rebel Sehate knew of it. MARKETS.
