ADVERTISERS Will please bear in n.iud that all adver tisements inserted in the morning Herald, appear in the evening editions without extra charge. REVIEW OK THE WEEK. Much news of importance has reached us from the North dating the past, week, not the least important of which was the official report of the evidence taken at an early stage of the trial of the assassins and suppressed by the Government. It seems that some ! /oalons newspaper correspondent having given it to the world in a garbled form, it j became necessary for the government to publish it entire. In this manner the public has possessed itself of the most startling dis closures concerning the plots of the Canada cabal through whose agency the assassina nation of President Lincoln was accomplish ed. This vile murder it would appear was but a minor part of an extensive scheme, in cluding a wholesale destruction of property and shedding of innocent Mood throughout the North. We doubt if the annals of authen tic history can furnish, a parallel to this hor rible plot as it is now developed before us in all its immense wickedness anJ inhumanity. It is needless to say that the publication in this city of the news replete as it was with the most damming evidence of the compli city and guilt of the Richmond government, caused a profound sensation. The depredations of the forestallers at the market reached a climax at the end of last week, and on Monday, the schedule of prices was again enforced in the market by orders of Gen. Woodford, much to the relief of the citizens so long imposed upon by the extor tionate forestallers. The market is now again well supplied, and cleared of specula tors. The steamer Standisb arrived from up the River on Sunday last with the gratifying in telligence that the obstructions which have so seriously impeded navigation are removed. The last piles have been taken up so that the largest of our .river boats, the Amazon can now pass with two flats abreast, up or down without, difficulty. Geu. Washburn left Savannah on Monday lor his new command, which embraces forty-five of the lower counties of Georgia, aad extends entirely across the State. Gar risons are to be posted in all the principal towns. The paying off of the troops commenced on Monday last. About fifty thousand dol lar9 were handed over to the boys by Pay master Fleming. The vicinity of the market was the scene of about half a dozen street rows ou Satur day last. Nothing serious resulted, how ever, as the disturbances were summarily quelled by our United States city police. Our market is now well supplied with 9um mer vegetables. Tomatoes, okra, apples, melons, etc., are selling at reasonable rates. The first watermelon of the season was made a present of to Major Geu. Birge, by Nicholas Geil, market gardener, and the first musk melon to the Herald, wherein we modestly opine that we got the best of the General. Reports reached us with the Northern news published on Thursday, that the Geor gia delegation at Washington recommended to the President, Isaac Scott, of Macon, lor Provisional Governor of Georgia. Mr. Scott is well known in this State, anti, indeed, lias a European reputation as a banker and financier. There is no doubt that his ap pointment would meet with the hearty ap proval of the people of Georgia. Several persons have been brought before the Second Provost Court during the past week, and fined for violation of the regula tions of tlie Street-Commissioner concerning garbage and house-offal. We learn that the dechive action of Capt. Stearns iu this mat ter has given rise to some little feeling.— Nothing it would seem, could be more un reasonable. The requirements of the Street Commissioner are tew aud easily complied with : and it people will violate and disre gard them it is his manifest duty as guardian of the comfort and health to call them to ac count. We should be thankful that we have so faithiul and zealous an officer in the im portant position of Street Commissioner. Several bodies of troops left this citron Wed nesday and Thursday for Georgetown, South Carolina Ex Gov. Brown arrived in the city on Wednesday last, and was the guest of D. Meyor, Esq. Tne Governor received many congratulations>on his return, and expressed himself satisfied with the line of policy pur sued by President Johnson. the Augusta Post Office has been re-open ed by Special Agent Harris, and mails art now regularly transmitted between that city and Savannah. Relics of the late disaster to the steamer Gov. Troup are still seen by boats passing up aud down the river. Six dead bodies have recently been found in the river at different poims below where the Governor Troup was was burned. The bodies were all of colored persons, with one exception. Active preparations are being made to have i the Fourth of July celebrated this year in a I marked manuer in this city. The people I generally, business men and others, appear to be deeply interested, and the HkAald’s ; subscription list ’lor fireworks was speedily filled up to the requisite amount. The cele | bration programme is not yet fully matured, but it is sale to say that no exertion nor ex pense will be spared to make the observances lilting lor the great occasion One of the most interesting events of the week was the visit of Ge n eral} Wood ford, Po<t Commander, Major Manning, Superin i intendant of schools and the Board of Eduea- I lion, to the Public schools yesterday morn ing. fc/The various schools appeared re markably well, and the visitors were highly pleased with the results of their inspec- tion. The General and the new Superiuten dant were well received by the juveniles, who looked their prettiest, recited their best, and sang their stiongest in honor of their visit Gen. Woodford made a little speech in the Boys’ Grammar School in response to an address of greeting, as will be found (re ported in this morning’s paper. lion. Wm. P. Smith, the new British Con - sul for this city arrived last evening at the Pulaski House. He succeeds the late Hon. E. Molineaux, H. B. M. Consul. The city is well provided with amusements at present. Sweatnam’s Varieties is giving a series of legitimate dramatic performances witli a very good company. TII9 Queen Sisters are performing at the Theatre. Uncalled far Despatches. Savannah, Ga., June 17th, IBGS. Tiie following Messages remain uncalled for at the U. 9.

Governor Picrpmst’s Advice to the Color* cd People. Governor Pierpont, in answer to an in quiry of the Secretary of the National Freed man s Relief Association as to what he, and his co-laborers could do for the freedman re plied : You ask if I have any advice to offer you and your co-laborers m this great w r ©rk. I answer by counselling you to impress upon all with whom you come in contact, the es sential lessons of industry, frugality and subordination to the laws. Industry is essential to his moral as well as Iris material welfare. By frugality alone can be hope to reap, and maintain the lull aud permanent reward of his industry. By subordination to the laws lie will win the respect of his fellow-men, and the right 1o enjoy in peace the fruits of his labor. The law is a terror to evil-doers, and a praise to him that doth well. He who does not violate the law need not tear the law. Teach him what the law is—tlie first and comprehensive lesson of which is laid down in the ten commandments of the Bible. If he is taught to understand and faithfully to observe them, I will undertake to stand between him and the magistrate. If these simple precepts are inculcated, and the freedman can be led to rule his con duct thereby, we may flatter ourselves that, his future issured, and that his nation will faithfully, and successfully discharge the trust which has bceu confided to it by Divine Providence. 1 am yours, Ac., F. H. Pierpont.

The Detroit Free Press has received from 3 ajor Hudson of that city, who commanded tl L> squad of the Fourth Michigan cavaly who e ptured Davis, the following story of the si me. which contains some new’ points. ‘•To Major Hudson was given the duty of ei rroundiug the tent of the rebel chief. He p 'ked fifteen of his best, men and proceeded t< execute the order, which was done with ci nsummate skill, and to the entire satisfae ti nos his superior officer. The place of Ci ptuic was about one hundred and tweuty ; fi e miles south of Macon, in the woods a Joining the small town of lnvinsville.— A ter the order had been properly executed of surrounding the tent, the Major proceeded 14 the tent of Davis, where be' was met by Mrs. Davis, somewhat en dishabille. She in buired if they intended to invade the privacy ♦f a ladies apartment. The Major thought y>t* ; At this juncture an individual having the ijtpearanco of an antiquated grand dame pressed with a lady's water-proof cloak and shawl, minus the inevitable hoop-skirt, how i(i r er, accompanied by a young negro servant dirl, bringing a small bucket, emerged from the tent, apparently for the purpose of going tb the spring for a bucket of water. This i as an ingenious device of Mrs. Davis to get er husband through the lines. The ruse died, ana Jefferson Davis was discovered, he servant girl ran. back to the tent and Jef ferson was soon effectually secured. For some time he remained sulky, very much after (lie fashion of£an old lady in need ot her usu- M compound extract of strong tea; but the ‘‘President,” after a while, got over his “fits” !nd became quite communicative, convers ig freely on ordinary topics, but maintain ig a prudent silence on current military and political events. “On their way up to Fortress Monroe Mr. tnd Mrs. Davis spoke in pleasant antiripa tiopsof meetieg old lriends in Washington, inquiring about old associates, and evidently expecting to be lionized and feted upon ar riving at the capital Davis had attempted in* vain for lonr years to destroy. The details iof placing Davis in the casefnats of Fortress Monroe we will not repeat, as they are the same substantially as have already been given to the public. Aftei being confined lie was placed in irons, to which the rebel chief pretested by a vigorous resistance, which required four men to overcome. The ‘President became irritated.' Alter wearing the chaim for about one week, owing to symptoms of a decline in health, they were removed. * ‘Upon Colonel Pritchard receiving the or der from Secretary Stanton-to forward the garments worn by Davis at the time of his capture, Major Hudson was sent for them. He called upon Mr. Davis. Mrs. Davis was very indignant. She accused him and his party of taking her jewelry and her money, which of course, was a feminine falsehood, as that distinguished lady retained some $.0,000 in gold, and all the valuables and money that she had in her possession. After a good deal of parleying, the Madame consented to give up the cloak and shawl, against which Mrs. Clay most violently protested, calling Ma jor Hudson all sorts of naughty names, insisting he should furnish her with anoth er shawl. Asa compromise, there being no particular humiliation in compro mising, a respectable garment of this kind was obtained. But it didn’t suit the wife of the ‘President.’ Shepiotested that it was no better than a negro’s blanket. -She was, however, obliged to accept of the ex change. “Major Hudson brought with him Jeff. Davis’s pistol. It is an elegant silver-plated instrument costing about forty-five dollars. The case contains the initials ‘J. D.,’ together with the letter ol the admiring donor, the maker of the pistol in London, altogether forming a delicate morsel and significant ex hibition of British ‘nentralit}'. ’ ” W hy the South Should not be Punish ed.— Gerritt Smith, well-known for his ac tive connection with all the radical reform \ movements of the day, recently delivered a discourse at the Cooper Institute, New Y ork, which from the originality of the views ex pressed ha 9 attracted much attention.— With reference to the much agitated question of t lie punishment of the South, he said : All over tlie North there is a clamor for the blood of the rebels, whom we have capt ured, and those whom we hope yet to capture. I have no sympathy with this clamor. The South having fully surrendered, let all blood shed cease and alt punishment. (Applause.) Os course I make no reference to the asssassination of our President, or to the starving or murdering of * our prisoners. Jjet all merited punishmeut fall on those who are guilty of tjiese iniam ous crimes. (Applause.) My position is, simply, that the South shall not be punished for the rebellion, or, to use another word, tiiat the South shall not be punished for treason. I don’t say this because I think the South does not merit it. I don't say this lie cause the safety of the North requires no more suffering in the South. I don’t say this because I think there arc any valuable interests in the North to be made moie secure by more suffering in tlie South. I don't say it because others have not been guilty of treason, but I say they should not be puriTshed for treason, because we have agreed that they shall not be. When we entered upon this war we agreed—somewhat reluctantly I admit—to conduct the war according to tlie rules of war. Now I hold that our making this agreement was an entire surrender of all right to punish the South for treason. We came to ibis agreement to conduct this war accord ing to tlie rules of war, the fact is undispu tafile, for we accorded to the South beliger eut lights. The Supreme Court has ack nowledged these rights: We have acted on this agreement, by treating their soldiers who fell into our bauds as prisoners of war; as enemies in war. Then from time to time we have exchanged their prisoners for those the enemy had takeu from us. There have been truce held between the enem and ourselves, for burial and other purposes. There. has been formal as well as uuformai negotiations, during the war, between the North and the South. By these negotiations we recognized their de facto nationality, aud by the selection of the President himself, of blessed memory, as a Commissioner, and also the Secretary of State. And these gentle men did not wait until tlie Southern Com missioners came to them, but honored the Commissioners of the South by going more than half way to meet them. [Applause.]— Now all this, and much more, goes to show that we agreed with the enemy to conduct this war according to the international laws of . war. And such an agreement is a perpetual agreement, and we must uow treat our prisoners as enemies in war. Now, how was it we consented to conduct this war according to the rules of war? In the first place, we came to do so because the laws of war required it. Let me read some authorities on the question. The speaker then quoted at length from Yaltel and Hallam, Macauley, and a Ger man writer named Welkin, to sustain his position, and said, that of two parties to a civil conflict, the numbers on each side be ing so numerous the vauquished.party cannot be treated as traitors, or in the language of Edmund Burke—‘‘l don’t knowhow to frame an indictment against a whole people.”— (Cheers.) They are too numerous to treat, like anything else but prisoners of war. Tlie next thing I would speak of is in regard to the pardoning ot these men. To pardon them, I think, is a disgrace to human nature. I, for one, am not willing that it should go down to all ages that millions of my country men were pardoned traitors (Great applause.) Another reason why this civil war should be conducted according to the rules of war, was this; Where great masses of people take very momentous and responsible positions, it is not only probable, but it is generally conclu ded, that they had a sincere and deep belief in the wisdom and righteousness of their cause. And one thing more: It is probable, also, that they had, in fact, no little season for taken such steps. Wheie such great numbers of men carry on a war, we may well believe there has been suffering enough in it —especially to the defeated party—without adding punishment, at the close of it, for Reason. [Hisses, and cheers— renewed several times, the cheers prevailing.] At the close of such a war, God speaks to the Destroying Angel, as He spoke in icgard to the destruction and punishment of the Jews —“lt is enough; stay thine'hand.” [Ap plause.] Curious Coincidence. —Washington was born February 22, 1782, inaugurated 1789: his term of service expired in the 6Gth year of his age. John Adams wrs born October 19, 1735, inaugurated 1797; term of service expired in tbe GGth year ot bis age. Jefferson born April 2, 1743, inaugurated 1801 ; term of sen-ice expired in the GGth year of his age. Madison born March 5, 1751, inaugurated 1800; term of service expired in tbe GGth year of his age. Monroe born April 2, 1759, inaugurated 1817; term of service expired in the G6th year of his age- The above is a list of five of the Presi dents of the United States, (all men of tlie Revolution,) who ended their term of ser vice in the GGth year of their age. —Last week Thomas Nicholson, residing at Marblehead, Mass.pbommitted suicide in a singular manner by stretching himself out upon his lace in a stream of water about six inches deep, which ran beneath the flooring of the cellar of his house. When found, it was supposed that he might have fallen in a fit, but as lie had no clothing but his night shirt, and a plank in the floor had been taken up as if for the express purpose, it became evident that he bad committed suicide. He was sevChty years of age. - —j l .. - 1. .1 ... Xrribals, PORT ROYAL HOTEL, [HILTON HEAD,] June 15. F H Tarapleh, Beaufort, jJ S Grant, St Helena. W H King “ !
