For the past week a large number of trans ports have put into this port, laden with troops belonging to the Twenty-fifth corps, under command of Major General Godfrey Weitzel. The object of their coming here was for the purpose of the officers being paid. This morning Maj. Gens. Godfrey Weitzel and Giles A. Smith anived here from City Point, to superintend the departure of the vessels. The order of proceeding is not posi tively known, but it is supposed that the fleet will rendezvous somewhere ou the coast before sailing for the Gulf. The troops com posing this expedition are in the best possible condition, and happy at the prospect of a change from dull camp life. Fortress Monroe, June 1, 1865. The Texan expedition, under the command of _Maj. Gen. Godfrey Weitzel, which has been fitting out in this harbor during the past week, is now fairly on its way to the point of destination, somewhere along the coast of that State. Preparatory to its sailing orders WPro ia sued to the commanding umcer on board each vessel, to proceed tirst to Mobile Bay, in the vicinity of Forts Morgan and Gaines, with the view of making a rendezvous at that harbor, in order to coal the steamers, and to thoroughly cleanse them before proceeding any further southward. The Steamers composing this expedition fleet are among the hugest and best adapted to a long sea voyage of any known to the mercantile scrvioo, and were chartered espe cially by the different quartermasters lu New York and Philadelphia. The major portion of the fleet, comprising some fifteen of the largest steamers, has al ready sailed, while the remainder, comprising the steamers Star of the South, Richmond, Western Metropolis, Tonawanda, C. C. Per ry, .1. P. Evcrman, Empire City, Rebecca Barber, Cumbria, and Tillie, are now lying in the Roads, and will sail either this evening or tomorrow.

The weather has been fair for the past week, with every prospect of continuing so for some time to come. Kirby Smith off for Fianei. [From tho Cairo Democrat May 27.] The steamer W.

Richmond, Ya., May at, 1265. A near relative, I learn upon authority, of ex-Govcrnor Extra Billy Smith reached the city yesterday, and announces that the fugi tive Slate ruler is roaming about in the moun tains back of Staunton, Virginia, and that he says he proposes to fight it out, though he deuies the assertion that he is organizing a guerrilla force other than sufficient to protect himself.

Benjamin Wood announces his withdrawal from tin* editorial conduct of the Daily News —and another article indicates that he is suc ceeded by John Mitchell, recently of Rich mond, Ya.

J The trial of the assassination conspirators was resumed yesterday, and a number of witnesses were culled to testify in liebaif of the different prisoners, but they tailed to es tablish any important exculpatory facts.

The plea of insanity on the part of litis pris oner also, as well as of Atzerodt, has been set up. Payne s counsel yesterday claimed that a foundation lor this plea was luruished in the evidence of the prosecution that after the bloody assaults in the house of Mr. Sew ard the accused rushed from the sick room, ei ming “I am mad!—l am mad!” The bt ntendent of the Washington Insane A'm, who was called by counsel to sub- ; sti ite tbl> claim, stated that be should re ga be use.of such exclamations rather as an|idencs of feigned insanity than of in sari itself. 4>b Ritterspaugh, one of the employees of i theatre, was re-examined, and testi fieoiat he and Spangler saw, about six o’cfc ou the evening of the assassination, a njwho was a stranger to both of them, anclio did not belong iu the theatre, quiet ly sLg iu the private box in which the Present was subsequently shot.

Two steamers have gone below’ from this city laden with mer chandise tor that section, w'kich sell readily at satisfactory rates; money being found there in unexpected abundance.

Washington, 2d. Dr. Mackey, of Charleston, S.

An immediate seaich was made, but the miscreants escaped. Buck was the feeling among the soldiers, that if the shot had taken effect the town would have been destroyed. [From Elim; or Hymns of Refreshment. Edited by Rev. Dr. Huntington.] REPENTANCE AMO FAITH* MV KEY. W. ALEXANDER. “Repentance toward God and Faith Mcard our Lord Jems Christ." There was a ship, one eve antnmnal onward, Steered o’er an ocean lake,— Steered by some strong hand ever as if sunward; Behind un angry wake, Before there stretched a sea that grew intenser. With silver tire far spread, Up to a hill mist-gloried, like a censer With smoke encompassed; It seemed as if two seas met brink to brink, A silver flood beyond a lake of ink. There was a sonl that eve autumnal sailing Beyond the earth’s dark bars, Toward the land of sunsets never paling. Toward Heaven’s sea of stars; Behind there was a wake of billows tossing. Before a glory lay. O happy soul! with all sail set, just crossing Into the Far-away; The gloom and gleam, th & calmness and the strife. Were death before thee, and behind thee life. And as that ship went up the water stately, Upon her topmasts tall Isa w two sails, whereof the-one was greatly Dark, as a funeral pall. But oh 1 the next’s pure whiteness who shall utter ? Like a shell-snowy strand, Or when a sunbeam falleth through the shutter On a dead baby’s hand; , But both alike across the s trging sea Helped to the haven where the bark would be. And as that soul went onward, sweetly speeding Unto its home and light. Repentance made it soriowful exceeding, Faith made it wondrous bright; Repentance dark with shadowy recollections, And longings unsufliced, Faith while and pure with sunniest affections Full from the face of Christ; But both across the suu-besilvered tide Helped to the haven where the heart would ride. Sjveatnam’s Varieties. —The houses at this popular place of entertainment are on the increase and with a good reason. Mr. Sweatnams company wa9 never larger or more capable than at present. The enter tainment is of a high order, and includes a legitimate play on each evening, besides the farce and a pleasing olio' of songs, Ethiopian acts, ballet and jig dances, etc., etc. Let all go who enjoy a good play and “a little non sense now and then." To those who Visit Hilton Head. —Peter Fitzgerald, whom everybody at Hilton Head knows as a good caterer, advertizes clams in our columns as a speciality of bis. Now that the oyster season is over, clams, cooked in every style, as Fitzgerald knows how to cook them, are a luxury; and those who read this paragraph are advised, if practica ble, to call on him when they wish for a lunch. His place is just in the rear of the Port Royal Post Office. What Gen.»Bcott thinks of Jeff. Davis. The opinion of the First Lieut, Gen. of the U. S. concerning the deserved fate of the Traitor-Chief will be interesting. A gentleman who called on General Scott iu New York Hie other day found him iu excellent health and much rejoiced at the successful termination of the war. The con versation turning on Jeff. Davis, the old General very pointedly and emphatically re marked, “I hope he will be huug by the neck, sir- I hope be will hang by the neck.’ Tiie Reijkl Colonel Hatch Grump ling akout Lirby ftjisoN.—Colonel Hatch, one of the rebel commissioners of exchange of pris oners, is now in libby Prison. Just after his imprisonment he s». n t for General Mulford, our commissioner of exchange, and asked “Do you think it is pr«v oe r treatment for me?” “What is the matter,” iuqun«fi Mulford. “Don’t you see,” replied Hatch with pro fane emphasis, “there is not a pane of glass in these windows-?” “O, is that all!” answered Mulford ; ‘why, Hatch, I have been telling you for the last two years there was not a pane of glass in these windows.” pipping intelligence.
