The Savannah Dally Herald. YftIDAY, MAY 9, 1863. Apologetic. —Again we are obliged to is sue tlie Herald on a half sheet, but we hope our printing paper, for which we have anxi ously looked, will be here to-day. Meantime, we do the best we can, aud can only say that It is impossible for our friends to be more annoyed than we arc. THE NEWS. We are enabled, through the energy of our Hilton Head correspondent, to lay before our readers thus early, the exceedingly important news brought by the Fulton, which arrived < at Ililtou Head, last evening. The official announcement of the surrender of Gen. Johustou upou the same terms as those of Lee's surrender, is received. This impor tant event, aud the orders issued in conse quence, arc the virtual announcement of the end of the war. The President’s proclamation opening all the Southern ports and removing the military re strictions upon commerce, is of great mo ment. Its consequences can hardly be esti mated now, but it is safe to say that it marks the era of anew prosperity for the South. Continued investigations into the conspi racy to assassinate the leading officials at Washington prove it to have been of tbe moat alarming proportions, a prison full of accomplices having been apprehended. The order from the War Department hon orably discharging, with immediate pay ment, ail convalescents in hospitals, and pa roled prisoners on furlough, aud ordering the extensive reduction of the entire military establishment, will be most welcome among the soldi, ra of the Union in the Department of the Sooth. Much other news of interest and impor tance will be found in the extended des patches of our correspondent. A Streak of Luck for this •‘CBAFT.”--It is seldom that printers are out in the wet without umbrellas when there is a shower of gold—they are generally “counted out" when Foitune Is distributing her coveted favors—it isn’t the printers who get shoady contracts, who accumulate huge piles of dimes by lucky dealings in stocks or by sudden fluctuations In the gold market,—* Printers are the last to “strike lie,’’ —proba- bly if that oleaginous fluid was to be bud in shiploads for tbe mere dipping up, not one printer in a thousaud could muster small change cneugh to buy him a tin dipper. In fact, if there should happen a snow-storm of {‘stamps” and “greenbacks," It would be the luck of nine-tenths of tbe printers in tbe country to be fast asleep, and not to wake up till tbe drifts had all melted. However, Fortune sometimes, though seldom, does forget herself and give one of the boys a lift witness tbe following from a New York paper. We know Harry well, and if any body knows bo'w to spend money judicious ly, it’s that same Harry Vifiard—-long may he wave: “We have a reporter among U 9 who eclipses the tbe “twenty-thousand dollar’ Bos-on knight of the pencil. His name is Harry Villard, of the New York Herald, Who has just returned from Germany, where he fell heir to $60,000 in gold. He remained tliesre long enough to nearly double that afnount in speculations in 'United States bonds, and wiH settle in this country, where he has resided for the past litteen years.” THE COURTS. FIRST PROVOST COURT. ; Nothing of public interest was transacted at thia.court to-day. \ StCOSi) PROVOST COCRT. ; Thursday, May 8, 1865. Tha following cases were disposed of by Judge Walton tbls morning. "Ordered, That Wm. P. Yonge, citizen of Bayaanah,* having entered security on be half of Sami. North, for the payment of $65, it U therefore ordered-Sami. North be re leased from arrest in this city. • Mary Keener, vs. Josiah P. Brooks. Or dered that Defendant pay Twenty-five Dol lars in consideration of all damages. Polly Cooper, vs. Noble Chester. A case of Assault and Battery. Ordered that the prisoner be placed In eonfinement one month, tor deadly assault with a knife. Permission was granted Henry Fields to take possesion of a horse, described, said to be eleven miles from the city. Tut Assassin Booth.— The last character in which tbo assassin Booth appeared on the Mage in this city, was that of Marc Antony, hi ‘Julios Caesar” : and it is curious now to look back on the grand Shakesperianlangoage he had to use ou that occasiou, and to think bow it mast now come homf to him, in h's solitary moments of flight, and exile, and fear, in stem reproach. ~ • He cannot; indeed, with Marc Antony, ad dress the scared and bleeding body of his victim with the apostrophe : ' * *0 pardon me, than bleeding piece of earth for be is himself the author of the fiendish deed that stamps him parricide. But the succeeding words in Antony’s sublime and indignant soliloquy he may even apply to himself: “Woe to the hand that ahed this costly blood,* 1 With Antony, too, we may exclaim in tearful accents: “Oh what a fall was there, my countrymen 1 Si•“ I, and all of us fell down, Whilst bloody treason flourished o’er ns r But treason will reap its reward —\Y Post. ' * * - The celebrated Goat Island, iu the Niagara river, at the Falk, is advertised for sale in a Buffalo paper. The State of New York or what would be better, the United State* should purchase it, aud keep it out of the hands of water-privilege speculators, grist atrd saw-millers, and other monopolies.

The news is important, as will be seen from our despatches. The Fulton has had a quick aud pleasant passage, and brings a large mail, both to soldiers and citizens.— We give ail the details of her news for which we can possibly find room in our sadly cur tailed sheet of this morning. Reduction of the Army. Washington, April 80th. Immediately on the return of General Grant he addressed bimselt to the task of reducing the public expenses by cutting off all the superfluity of our military establish ments. All the occupants of military hospitals well enough to be discharged, and all enlist ed men not on duty in the field, are at once to be mustered out of service. It is estimat ed that the number thus taken from the army rolls will be in the neighborhood of 400,000, and the reduction thu9 made in the public expenses will be nearly one million of dol lars per day. Ta« Conspiracy. The number of persona arrested, charged with cqmplirity in the recent assassination plot, has increased so greatly that it has been necessary to fit up the old disirict peuiten tiary in tbe yard of the arsenal, as a special prisou for their custody; At midnight, last night, all these persons were quietly and safely removed to this new prison from the Monitors on which they have heretofore been confined. Rumors About Harrold. - • (Special Despatch to the N. y. Times.} Washington, April 30. Rumors are rife and various about the trial of Harrold. One of these rumors is that he is now on trial befit re a Military Commission, and that the testimony is closed and the sen tence will bo promulgated to morrow.- Another U that the trial is concluded and Harrold is sentenced to be hung on Wednes day morning next. I have good reason for believing that Harrold has not been put upon trial, and that tbe Government does uot pro pose to try him until the preliminary exam ination of witnesses in this neighborhood is concluded. ■As stated in a former despatch several Commissions are now oat" in the country on this business, with short hand reporters tak ing testimony, and others leave to-morrow. Rebel Plot to Burn Philadelphia. Philadelphia, Sunday April 30. Some excitement was caused here to-day by the discovery of a plot to burn this city, as was attempted in N. Y. last year. Gcu. Cadwallader has made afi&oper distribution of troops, and it is believed that no attempt will be made. The particulars of the plot cannot be obtained. Condition of Seward and .Hie Son.

(from the New York Times, May Ist.] General Grant arrived in Washington on Saturday direct from Shcrmau’s head quarters. V-J& -J&- tjj| From one who was present when .General Grant arrived there, we learn that the latter immediately sent a message to Johnston that the Sberman-Johnston agreement had been disapproved and that hostilities would recommence within forty-eight hours from the time the message passed within the rebel picket Hue, On the same day Sherman made a demaud on Johnston to surrender. Johnston request ed a further armistice aud an interview which was appointed for noon of the 26th. Gen. Sherman was at the rendezvous at the time named, aud Johnston arrived in about an hour after, he having been detained by ome accident. After a sboit .conference, it was agreed that Johnstou should surrender on terms substantially tbe same as those agreed upon by Gen. Lee, when he surrendered to Gen, Grant. Gen. Johnston’s command em braced nearly 80,000 troops. Hid. Pillow want* to Surrender. Tbe Louisville Journal has information that the Rebel Gen. Gideon J.

She reports that the rebel ram Webb passed New Orleans at a rapid rate displaying the Stars and Stripes, but after passiug displayed the Rebel flag. When a few miles above Fort St. Philip her condenser got out of order and she was deserted and blown up. As far as known, she had] inflicted no damage, save cutting the telegraph lines. A portion of the crew arrived in New Or leans, the remainder left jor parts unknown “Tuere’s a Good Time Coming Bovs.— We have been informed by the Army Pay masters here that they had good reasons to believe that the money for the payment of the troops of this Department would be transmitted by tbe Fulton. As this good ship has arrived safe and sound, we trust that “good lime,’’ so long time coming—has come at lost, and that the boys may not be politely asked by Uncle Sam to “wait a little *onger." LATEST FOREIGN HEWS, „ irriwl of Steamship City of London. EJt-,: , „ DATES TO APRIL BIST. FX V 3EJ DAYS LATJSR. Reception of the fiews of the Fall of Richmond and Rout of Lee’9 Army. REBEL LOAN ZVOWHERE. U. 8. Securities in Great Demand, CFrom Dutches of tb« Ne .v York Herald ] From the New York Herald of May Ist, we glean the following items of Foreign News. It was received by the steamer City of London, which arrived at this port yesterday. Our news from Europe isr to-the 21st of April, five days later, and the intelligence is of a very impor tant and interesting character. The publication ot tbe details of the fall of Richmond with the report of the rout of Lee’s army, produced an Intense degree of excitement all over Great Britain, although the people had not heard of the surrender of it was very generally conceded that the Re bel cause was at an end. The London Times advises the remnant of the insurgents to submit to their conquerors after obtaining the best terms possible. The London Index, Jeff’. Davis’s organ, and the London Post, Lord Palmerston’s organ* hoping against hope, express the opinion that the war will be still continued iu some form by the rebels. Tbe rebel cotton loan had almost disap peared from the London Stock Exchange, wheie a very animated and active demand for United States securities and American Railroad stocks existed. Tho superior ability of General Grant and the gallantry of the Union soldiers were fully, if tardily, conceded by the British pres 9. A London journal asserts that Napoleon proposed to conclude a treaty with England for the defeuce of Canada against the U. S., on hearing of the tail <pf Richmond. Au Irish Journal recommends a large Emi gration of poor but hard working whites to the Southern Statea when restoied to the Union. Maximilian's affairs were in a very dis couraging state. The New Franco-Mexican loan being a lottery concern cannot be quoted in London; his New Minister has returned from the Qourt of the Emperor of Austria and tbe London Times indicates that the Monroe Doctrine may be speedily enforced against his throne. The Eldest Son of the Czar of Russia was dangerously ill at Nice and tears were enter trined for bis life. Consols closed in London, April 21, 90 1-2 a9O 1-8 for money. The Liverpool Cotton Market was more buoyant April2lst, and prices advanced slightly de cline experienced daring the week. Flour was dull and downward. Provisions were quiet aud steady. Avery exciting scene took place in the French Legislature when the news from Richmond was made known. M. Eugene Peiiettan, a man of the opposition, declared it was of no consequence that Napoleon did not allude to American affairs iu his speech from the throne, as the victorious swords of Grant and Sherman have settled the ques tion. The sentiment was supported by twenty-four members'of the opposition. The abolition of slavery in the South was hailed with joy by the influential newspapers ofParis. hotel arrivals.
