Aud I feared that these rebellious heart*
could Hot concur and their heads plan hellbh
deeds of dutkness, but did not think the in
strument could be found (or so vile and cow
ardly an act as was perpetrated in Washing
ton the nigat of the 14th. Hell Itself would
blush at its own purity in comparison with
such an act, and the devil resign his sceptre
1 1 disgust before the authors of such treason;
treason culminating in the cowardly assassin
ation of the Chief Magistrate of the Nation.
For the sake of hum mity I wiil not believe
for a wom<-nt there lives a mans» vile as to
endorse the act; and yet hid it been done
twelve montiis ago, I fear more than one city
in the 9 >uth would have comment -rated the
event by torch-light processions and loud
buzsas for Jeff Davis and the Southern Con
federacy.
But mat day has passed, and a just, libe
ral aud maguauimous government will wel
come b ick the masses of an ill advbed peo
ple, not holding them responsible for the acts
of those hell deserving traitors who have
produced such untold misery, and “whose
names expanding with their growing crime,
shall float distasteful down the stream of
time.”
Thi3 diabolical assassination, but shows
the popular aff-cltou for Mr. LiucolD, and
brings etcrn il infamy, not only upon its
authors, but the ca tse they desire to avenge.
A just and g«o 1 min—a co lservative ruler
has fallen, a victim to treason ; but his mem
ory will live and shiue as the stars forever
and ever. And when a nation s gratitude
shall erect a mo mrneut to the fallen heroes
of this wu:\ high above all o'her names will
be inscribed the name of Abraham Lincoln
His mission is ended; his work is. finish
ed ; but n t so with the nation|whose repre
sentative he was. Its foundations are deep
laid in the wi lof tin people, who have’tc
solved that we shall be one government, one
flaj, and tha'. fl tg t ie stars and str pes.
I regret tia Mr. Lincoln c mid not have
lived to have witnessed the result of his la
bor; his toilsome days and sleepless nights;
the entire and complete restoration of the
Federal Union; a united people—free,pros
perous, hippy.
But we bow with resignation to that Prov
idence tout raised him up, and has taken

And while nur land is clothad in mourn

The army ot the Uuion have been march

victory.
Joo J ihns’oi, horse, foot and dragoons,
has surrendered to the immortal She man
without a fight. And to-day our proud-ban
ner fl iats triumphant o'er tne grave of rebel
l*o i, and it omy remains to bury the dead
skeleton of secession out of s’ght forever.
Let it be buried deep and without benefit
of clergy, but let a humane, generous, Chris
tian Government he maguauimous towards
the masses as a people who have been our
brothers, who liave been misled by a few
wicked and designing men. - 0 J
The Government can afford to be as gen
erous as it Is great. Its National honor has
vindicated, its stricken Flag resurrected
withtwTS i&Jr-oniV.? £ddud to its folds.
And the lustre of the proihiiC.shining on
its ample folds will be brightened by its mag
. aanimity to a repentant people. ,
But to secure that magnanimity no indiffer
ent negative love for the Government will
do. It must be earnest .and sincere; and if
there are those who hate the Government, I
Would advise them to seek Borne other
Country more cougeuial to their own feelings.
The greatest liberty and freedom are for

Aud us the new and uutr.cd Chief Magis

To the people of Savaunah I would say:
You have hitherto been justly proud of your

Do you desire its future prosperity? Doyoa

REMARKS OF COL. STEWART L. WOODFORD.
Mr. Chairman and fellow citizens:— Tl% de
scending shades of night warn me to to brie!
in my remarks. Nor should I at this latt
hour trespass upon your patience, did it not
seem fitting that the Commanding General ot
the Department should express through me
his sympathy iu the sad occasion which has
called us together.
Oik Friday, the Ktt of April, it was the
g<»od fortune of some who are now gathered
he# to stand upon the ruins of Fort Samter
and on the sp »t where treason aimed the first
gaq against out flag to celebrate its re»teratk>
to :t • fam iar and light u' plat e. All C- ar.e»-
ton blossomed with the banner, glad b.-lb
rang cut their jubilee; the cannon spoke .-
nation’s J »v, and loud hosannas were rais and
Ut that birthplace of rebellion, which fouae
full ibho in fiunwerlng s >dfrs of jny {Lftwgh
out the io/Sl North fitkl West. The rath-,
brave soldier who in April, 1861, defended
the nation’s flag and the nation’.-
honor upon that now' historic place was ther<
to raise again tbe same old flag, where it
shall float under God s provideuce to latest
time. With full hearts we hail in- its resto
ration the coming of peace and re-establish
ment of law and order. We knelt upon
those Waljsj and thanked God for
h s safe gtfttfiince in the past; we vowed to
keep that o:d flag ibfever safe against tteason,
aud to restore our loved laud to its uncien
pow\r and peace. On that same day, in th
nition's capita l , loul murder struck fiom th,
ro 1 of liviug men our trusted aud houorei
President. Tne union paused in its gla»
ucclaimaif joy, and we who were so prout
and buuyaht in out hopes of peace comm*
at last thr.ugh victory, stood sad and silen
beside his grave. Abraham JuQcoln, win
had done aud dared all for the nation’s cause,
fell stricken, by the pjeau aud cowardly banc
of the assassin. We meet again to-day upon
this Southern.soil to commemorate his worth
aufl faintly Speak the love with which we
cherisn his honoted name. Now victories
have glorified our arms, The rebel hosts dis
banding, seek their homes. Returning loyal
ty gives hopeful promise of the future, aud
tne p ace for which we have fought so
paiiently, so bravely, aud at last successful
ly, seems closely at hand.
But our joy is turned into mourning, and a
nation bends in sacred grief to which no
words can give fit utterance,
From yonder heaven our sainted Presi
dent bends above us, and in this hour oi
s lsmn joy, yet of heartbreaking sorrow, I
hear him speak ,as in the almost inspired
words of his inaugural, pleading with the
misguided men ot the South to cease their
mad endeavor, to return to their allegiance,
aud to live in brotherly concord beneath the
flag of our fathers.
Beside his grave, the olive branch, which
he so often .tendered, will forever grow. He
was just to North and Soutu alike, aud loyal
men will forever love and revere him as one
who, in tteason» darkest peril, wus brave
Without rashnees, just without reveoge, and
true in heart and word and deed to the nation
and to liberty.
Just wrath is kindled at his murder, and
fittingly might we take deep vengeance on
ihe accursed treason which culminated in hi.-
death. But from his ashes there breathe the
words spoken of i*ld uptm Calvary, “ Father,
iorgive them, for tney know’ not what they
do!” /In the spirit of Abraham Lincoln's
Proclamation of Amnesty, we call the erring
Traitor back to his allegiance. We offer
f *rgiVeness to the misguided men who will
noiv return to repentant loyalty. In oiir sol
emn sorrow, we leave the past to Him who
hath said, “Vengeance is mine aud I will
repay.’’
Bui while thus forgiving, let all men re
member that the time has come when'they
must choose between allegiance and treason
The tearful battles of the past four years are
not to be fought again; the Flag must be
hereafter honored and the Law obeyed.
Peace and the Union we will have. He£j»e.
forward this broad land is to bne nation,
undivided and iadivisioie.
We osier forgiveness for the past; in the
name of the nation we demand loyalty for
the future. If you are wise aud heed this
admonition: prosperity shall bless your sun
ny South. But if defiant Treason shall still
assail the old Flag, 4 t swear by the bier oi
our dead Presided 'Kfa\i we will compel obe
dience to the law and loyalty to the Nation,
though it be beside desolated hearthstones
and traitor's graves. /
Soldiers of the Republic—Well may your
mourn to day! Iu Abraham Lincoln’s death
you have 10->t a comrade-iu-c )ief, whose
great heart always overflowed with sympa
thy for your sufferings; whose eloquent
voice always spok: words of cheer ami l <>ur
privations, and of praise for your victories.—
so you, and to your gallant leaders, he as
cribed all the credit of our success. You
loved him, as .he loved you. And ou the
weary mareh, in the bivouac, and amid the

sustained by his unwavering support. His
was the far-sighted brain which guided your
effort; his the loyal heart which sustained
your patriati-m; and his the arm
that upheld the old Flag
for which you fought so bravely and beneatn
whose folds so many of your comrades died.
Soldiers and brothers—we trust that peace
has cope; but if there shall be further stiife,
let us in this sad hour resolve that our swords
and lives are for our country, and that so
long as treason strikes at the nation s life, we
will do brave battle for pur land.
Freedmen of Georgia—You, too, have
cause to mourn this day. When Abraham
Lincoln fell beneath the assassin's hand, you
lost your truest, best,, and most patient
friend. Four years ago you were, ia the

chatties and creatures, of another’s will,—

to do you justice. He struck tiie shackles

In tire name of the nation’s high sovereignty,

Loss OF THE Steamer Enoch Dean. —On
I Wednesday last the Steamer Enoch Dean,
i Capt. Hal let, left the dock foot of Whitaker
street bound for the Islands lying south of
Savannah, on the coast, with freedmen, their
families and their effects; also a large amount
of seeds and farming utensils for their use.
Passing through one of the creeks empty
ing into St. Catharine's Souad, the steamer
struck a sung, and immediately filled and
sank. All ou board were saved, but much
of their property it it is feared would be
lost.
At the present time the loss of the •‘Enoch
Dean’, which is attached to the Department
of Major Gen. Saxton, is very serious and
will greatly retard his operations of estab
lishing on the coast in comfortable homes
tlie # thousands under his care. The Enoeh
Dean was about fourteen years old; and for
merly plyed between Peck Slip, New
\oork, and Flushing, Loug Island, and was
the property of the Government.
•A Prayer for the President of the United
States, and all in Civil Authority.
0 Lord, our heavenly Father, the high and
mighty Ruler of the universe, who dost from
thy tnrone behold all the dwellers upon
eftitl); Most heartily do we beseech thee with
thy favor to behold and bless thy servant
the President of the United States, and all
others m authority; and so replenish them
with the grace of tuy Holy Spirit, that they
may always incline to thy will, and walk in
tiiy way. Endue them plenteously with
heaveniy gifts: grant them in health and
prosperity long to live; aud finally, after
tms life, to attain everlastingjoy and lelicity
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. ’
The Surrender or Lee’s Army.— I The New
York Herald’s correspondence of the 17th
contains some interesting details of the cere
monies attending the surrender of General
Lee s Army.
The work of paroling the rebels commenced
ou the llth inst., aud it was thought that
three or four days altogether would be re
quired to complete it. Tne number of men
under General Lee's immediate count and
covered by the surrender was estimated at
only about sixteen thousand, including offi
cers, privates and teamsters. The surrender
ed artillery is supposed to comprise one hun
dred and seventy pieces. Seven hundred
wagons also formed part of the Union prire.
So nearly exhausted were the provisions of
ttie rebels that while the surrender was in
progress a large number of them had to be
supplied with food by General Grant’s com
missaries. t' ■
The majority seemed more to welcome
than legiet the surrender. Rebel officers
transacted a brisk business in disposing of
their horses to the national army, and showed
their appreciation of the finances of Jeff.
Davis’ confederacy by a universal retusal to
take rebel money iu payment. The Second
and Sixth corps of the Army of the Potomac
foft Appomutox Court House on the llth
lust., moviug back towards Burkesville Junc
uon, leaving the Fifth corps behind to take
charge of atfairsrtiipthe surrender Wus termi
nated. Tue' ultimate destination of this por
tion of General Grant’s forces has not yet
been made public. .
General Lee, in his farewell order to the
rebel Army of Not them Virginia, after his
su: render, tells them that he has yielded from
no distrust of them, but because he was
satisfied the circumstances were such that he
could accomplish nothiug further which
would compensate for the loss of life which
would have attended a prolongation of the
coutest. •
Tne following is General Lee’s farewell to
his army:
Headq’rs Army Northern Virginia,)

General Orders,)
No. 9. ;
After four years of arduous services, mark
ed by unsurpassed courage and fortitude, the
Army of Northern Virgiuia has been com
pelled to yield to overwuelming numbers and
resources. . •
I need not tell the brave survivors of so
many hard lought battles, who have rein iued
steadfast to the last. Unit I have consented to
this result born no distrust in them ; but feel
ing that valor und devotion could aeCouiplish
uothing that would compensate lor the loss
that Would have attendee the continuance of
the coutest, I determined to avoid the useless
sacrifice of those whose past services have
endeared them to their countrymen. .
By the tcimsof the agreement, officers and
men can return to their homes aud remain
until exchanged. You will take with you the
satisfaction that proceeds from the conscious
ness of duty faithfully performed, and I ear
nestly pray that ar merciful God will extend
to you nis L.les-ing aud protection.
With an un easing admiration of your
constancy aud devotion to your country, and
a grateful remembrance of your kind and
generous consideration for myself, I bid -you
an affectionate farewell.
