DfcATII CF A WKI.L KNOWS CITIZEX.—Wc n-gret to announce the dcnili in this city at one o’clock last night at his residence, of Mr Conrad Weigand,senior pariner of the firm of Wiig md and Schwartz, proprietors of the Savannah Hotel and Yolks Garten. Mr. \Vligand was horn in Bavaria, and has been for ihc past fifteen years a resident of Savannah. He was in the 32nd year of his age. The deceased leaves a wife and two children to mourn his loss. In all the rela tions of life, as a kind husband and a parent, as a careful and honest business man, Mr. Weigaud was meritorious. For many years the deceased was a nu mber of Germania Fire Company No. 10, and also a member ; of the Masonic Fraternity. Mr. Wcignnd has been iu bad health for several years.— The disease which terminated his life, was o n-umpiion of the bowels.

We arc glad to be able to announce the safe arrival at New York ol the Carolina, of Hnn ter & Gammell's Line. The Carolina left tli 13 port on Wednesday, the 21st, and it was feared that she had encountered the storm which arose shortly afterward. A telegram from New York, received this morning, an nounces that she arrived there on Sunday all right. Some little concern is felt in business cir cles and among the friends of passengers in regard to the steamers City of Port an Prince and America, which departed on Friday and Saturday respectively, at about the time when the recent severe storm burst ujwin the coast iu all its fury. Both these boats, however, are staunch and compara tively new, and no serious apprehensions should be entertained. Sweatmas’s Varieties.-**“Thc Dumb Man of Manchester" was repeated again last night to a full house. The “Dumb Man” was rendered by Mr. J. W. Caruer in a masterly manuer, though the inequality of the sup ptnt detracted from the excellence of the re presentation. We venture to say, that more powerful, impressive and lifelike panto mine acting has rarely beeu seen on the Sa vannah boards, than that of Mr. Garner’s in the “Dumb Man of Manchester,” This evening is the farewell night of Mr. Garner and the St. Loons. A crowded house wiiruudoubtecliy be attracted the last perfor mance these deservedly popular ariisrs. Asotiier Steamer for tue Ur liiyaa Busi ness.—-The steamer Augusta, Capt. Lawler, intended tor the up river business, arrived this morning from Hilton Head The Au gusta is an iron clad.bnilt on the same model us the Savannah.

Grnut, con cluded to send a gentleman of kuowu com petency to the South to examine the condi tion of the railroads iu this section, with a view to the resumption of postal service.

"' ?oo’n^» THE ASSASSI.VATIOSTtUALS, The evidence on both sides of these most important trials is now concluded, and coun ! rel had already begun to nrgue the case nt our la-t advices. Mr. Doster, who is retain ied in behalf of G jorge Abzerctt and Payne, { delivered the preliminary argument in the defence, on Wednesday Juno 21. it will be lemembertd that in Military Courts the usual rule is reve.sed, and the defendants’ counsel are compelled to lead off, while the plaintiffs’ Attorneys have the privilege of delivering the closing arguments This is a most important difference; for it seems to amount taken iu connection with the other differences in practice between civil and military courts to something very like Ibis; In all civil courts n prisoner is assumed to be innocent, and tiie on*s of proving his guilt rests on the prosecutor; while in military courts the accused is from the first moment treated as if he were, of course, guilty, and upon him rests the necessity of proviug his innocence. The tremeudous importance of Ibis distinction in cases involving life and death, can be appreciated by any intelligent man, even if he has not had a legal educa tion. Mr. Duster’s speech is effective as a mere statement ot facts, but lie gives up the case of his clients as hopeless; and while ac knowledging their guilt, he only seeks to ob tain a mitigation of punishment. Os Payne, tiie assassin of Seward, about whom there has been so much mystery, Mr. Dosier says: Lewi- Payne Powell, is the son of the Rev. George C. Powell, a Baptist minister, at .present supposed to live at Live Oak Sta tion, on the railroad between Jacksonville and Tallahassee, in the State of Florida, and was born in Alabama iu the year 1845. Be sides himself, his father had six daughters and two sons. He lived for some time in Worth and Stuart counties, Georgia, and in 1859 moved to Florida. At the breaking out of the war, but four years ago, the prisoner was a lad of sixteen, engaged in superintend ing his fathers’ plantation and a number of slaves. Wc may safely presume that, occu pied iu the innocent pursuits of country life, he daily heard the precepts of the Gospel from his father, and that ip the society of his sisters, the hardy life of a planter was* soften ed by the charms ot a refined and religious circle, and that in tie natural course of events lie would be to-day', as he was then, a farmer, and An honest man. Butin 1801 war broke out—the scourge and pestilence of the race. The signal, which spread like fire, was not long in reaching Live Oak Sta tion. His two brothers enlisted, and Lewis, though but sixteen, enlisted in Captain Stu art’s company In the Second Florida infani uy commanded by Colonel Ward, and was ordered to Richmond." This explains who “Payne” is. It ha? been said that he was an illegitimate son of Jefferson Davis; that he is a nephew of Gen. Lee, etc., bqt the story of the Lawyer is doubtless correct. Atter detailing the Army experience of “ Payne,” Doster goes on to give the following very interesting account of Payne's acquaintance with Bootii; While iu this condition the fracas occurred nt his hoarding house, by which he was ar rested, brought before tjje provost marshal, and ordered north of Philadelphia. .Every where the sky is dark to him. He is pro scribed among northern men as a rebel; de spised among southern men in Baltimore as a recreant southerner, and a byword among southern men at home—a deserter. Peuni less and friendless, the earth seems to reject him, and God and man to be against him.— This is the work of civil war. llis education is now completed. Slavery has taught him to wink at murder; the southern army has taught him to practice and justify murder; ghee'll la Mfttffare has taught him to love murder; necessity has taught hjm resolution to commit murder. lie needs no further education; his four terms are complete. He graduates an assassin, and of this college the people pf the Unite,d States have been the stem tutors, guides, apd professors. It needs now only that some ope shmffd employ him. At the beginning of the war Powell one uiglu went to the theatre at Richmond. It was the first play,that Powell ever-saw, aud be was spell-bound by the magical influence of the stage, lie was attracted by the Voice and manner of one of tiie actors, J. Wilkes Booth. Although a private soldier, Powell considered himself the equal of any man, and after the play was o tcy gougbl and ob tained an introduction to the actor. Never were two natures thrown together so differ ent, yet one so well calculated to rule the other. The soldier was tall, rough, frank, generous, illiterate 5 the actor was of a delicate mould, polished, graceful, subtle. Vi'ith brilliant powers and abundant stock of reading. They saw enough of each other to form a clqie lutimqcy, sufficient to complete the control of Booth over fbo prisoner, and parted not to meet again for’nearly four years. In the twilight oi one memorable day in March Powell, was dragging himself aloug the street past Rarpum’s Hotel, 'a poor crea tore overcome by destiny. Suddenly a fami liar voice li filed him. Looking up the steps, ho saw ij;e face of the Richmond actor. The actor, ou Ills aids, expressed astonishment to find Posvell in such a plight, upd pqwell answered him in a few words qtli, j want food; 1 am starving.” Under other circumstances. Booth might have given him bread, but he was filled with a mighty scheme, Ipr he had ji»sf potpc from Canada, and was lying in wait for ageqts. Re seized with eagerness the poor man's hunger to wind tyb<>Ut l:is toils, saying': “f will give you as mqch m«mpy aa you ■ want, but vqu must swear to stick by jije ; It Js ip the oji business." A hungfy stomach is qof cau tious of oaths, and Powell then s\yore tlpp fatal oath, binding his soul as firmly to Booth fH Faust to Alepiiistopheles, and went iu and feasted. Finally when “Pttice” became auxltnn to know the exact nature of the business ho wants})* employed in, nnd when at last 3uotJi saw his victim was ready he imparted Jhe plan, which 17 as at that t|i»c tp Jake some Confederate soldiers, ride out to the Sodiers Home, capture by force tfoe IJesi dcnt, gag him, and deliver him to the Con federate authorities. By degrees “Payne” Was afterward induced by Booth to under take the murder of Mr. Seward and family on the evening -of the 11th of April, at 8 o'clock. Booth told him the hour had struck, placed in his hands the knife, the revolver and the bogus package of Medicine, and told him to do do his duty, and gav e him a horse, with directions to meet him at Ana costa bridge, and he went and did the deed. I, said Mr. Doster, have asked film why lie did it. His only answer is, “Because l'be lieved it ray duty." Mr. Doster argued that Payne, at the time he committed tue deed, had no will of his own, but had surrendered his will completely to Booth. Mr. Dosters speech was confined mainly to the case of “Payne,” as his other client, George Abzerctt, has made the subjoined confession, which cannot fail to be of great interest. I am one of the party who agreed to the capture of the President of the United States or any m mber of the Cabinet on f Genera! Grant or Vice-President Johnson. The first plot to capture failed ; the second to kill, I broke away from the moment I heard of it. This is the way it came about. On the even ing of the 14th of April 1 met Booth aud Payne at the Herndon House, in this city at 8 o clock. He (Booth) said lie himself Would take charge ot Mr. Lincoln and General Grani, Payne should take Mr. Seward, and I should take Mr. Johnson. I told him I would not do it; that I had gone into the thing to capture, bat I was not going to kill. He told me that I was a fool; that it was death to every man who backed out, and so we parted. I wandered about the streets till 2 o’clock in the morning and then went to the Kiminell House, and from there pawned my pistol at Georgetown, aud went to my cousin s house in Montgomery county, where I was arrested the 19th following? After I was arrested I told Provost Marshal Well 9 and Provost Marshal MePliail the whole story; also told it to Capt. Monroe, and Col. Wells told me if I poiuted out the way Booth had gone I would be reprieved; and so I told him I thought he had gone down Charles county in order to cross the Potomac. The arms which were found in my room at the Kirkwood House, and a black coat, do not belong to me. On the afternoon of the 14th of April. Herold called to see and left the coat there. It is his eoat and all in it belongs to him,as you can 9ee by the hand kerchiefs marked with his initials and with name of his sister, Mrs. Naylor. Now I will siate how I passed the whole of the evening ot the 14th of April. In the afternoon, about two o'clock, I went to Nether’s stable, on Eighth street, near D, and hired a dark-bay mare, and rode into the country for pleasure, and on my return put her up at Naylor's sta ble. The dark bay horse which I had kept at Naylor’s stable before, or about the 3d of April, belonged to Booth, and also the sad ble aud bridle. I. hail charge of him to sell him. Ido not know what became of him. At about six in the evening I went to Nay lor’s again aud took out the mare. I rode out for an hour and returned her to Naylor’s. It was theu nearly eight, and I told hint to keep the mare ready at ten o’clock iu order to return her to the man I hired her from. From there I went to the Henidon House. Booth sent a message to “ Oyster Bay,-’ where I was staying say ing he wanted to see me, and I went. Booth warned me to murder Mr. Johnson, I then went to the “Oyster Bay” on the avenue, above Twelfth street, and wlfiled away the time till about 10. I got the mare, and hay ing taken a drink with the hostler, gallopped about town aud went to the Kimmetll House. From there I Tode down to the depot aud returned my horse, riding up Pennsylvania avenue to Keltbers; from Ketttier’s I weut down to the Navy Yard to get a room with Wash. Briscoe. He had none and by the time I got back to the KimrneU House it was near 2. The man Thomas was a stranger I met on the street. Next morniqg, as stated, I went to my cousin Richter in Montgomery county Geo. Auzebott. TSRRXFXO EXPLOSION. Blowing up of a Tug Boat at Chicago. From the extended accounts of this ter rible explosion given in the N. Y. Herald of the 23d, we condense the following: About fifteen minutes past noon the tug boat U u uuy Siaffofd was towing the sclir. Mazeppa down the river. WlTeu directly in trout of Mes-ra. Oiling ton Lunt & Broth er's elevator the schooner ran upon what is kuowu among navigators as Goose -Island, and there grounded. The tuglroat backed up and remained stationary about five min utes iu order to make steam. It then start ed rapidly forward, the cable tightened, and in the next instant an explosion occurred, the effects of which we shall endeavor to describe, 4a they wefc cjisastryus in the ex treme, 7 At the moment the explosion occurred the captain, James Ogden, was standing ait, in company with a deck hand, named James Ferns, and another employe on the boat.— All three were thrown into the rigging of the Mazeppa, and rescued by her crew, without much intury. .. The engineer, Flick McCune, was at his po9t, and it is supposed that UU body was blown inlo'atoms; up to this writing uq trace of it has been found, although fits river lias been dragged in every direction. ThoqVas Ferris, the tireman, escaped in some providential mannef, which he bimselt can hardly describe. It is supposed, howev er, that he sryijm through the wator, being ihfotyn joto flic river by the explosion. The right side of bja wag batjlv cut, and his face was burned by the steftm. T he other employes on the tugboat were hot injured Th« captain escaped without a bruise. The fenqyt cttqspd by the explosion was terrific. Persons alqug the wharves, qn the bridges and in the adjacent buildings, were studied by if, and a Qioineutnrv cousteyua tiqu seized unqn everybody in tlfe vicinity.— T hc board oi IVado werp nf (l»e little busily engaged upon ’Change, and the 'cpnsterna uou produced among its members was most intense. The scene presented immediately after the disaster is almost indescribable. — IV>« the surface of thc water there were no other indications of what had transpired ex cept that a very few pieces of timber floated here and there, and except that the vessels laying along the wharves rocked to and fro ff'opi the ooiictissioo iu a most unusual man ner. But aooye, the sky seemed wholly ob scured by a vast cloud of timbers, boards and splinters which had bepn thrown to an im mense height, and which, after a brief inter val, came splashiqg’down into tlie water, and clattering upon the housetops and pavements for a great distance iu all directions. The half of the tug sank to the bottom of the river instantly, only a ragged portion of one side being left visible above the water. And with the upper works of the vessel—with the en gine and boiler too —the entire crew, consist ing ot four men, were hurled to a fearful height in the air, and fell headlong among the fragments of the wreck into the river These unfortunate men, all except the engi neer, were rescued. Borne notion of the terrific explosion may be gathered from the fact that a massive frag ment of the boiler was thrown completely over a five story building, and fell upon tiie roof of a three story building on the opposite side of the street, and breakiug through the roof and ceiling, then through the floor of the third story, lodged upon the floor of the see ond story. ALLEGED IMMENSE DEFALCATION. The. Reported Flight of a Brooklyn and New York Merchant with Haifa Million of Dollars. (From the Brooklyn Union, Jane 22.) Yesterday morning the denizens of the |4ace where “merchants most do congrega gnte” were startled by the report that Mr. Smith J. Eastman had absconded, leaving his cicJitors lacking about half a iniliou of dollars. Mr. Eastman is well known in Brooklyn. He has been considerably in political life, taking an active part in the action of the party to which he belonged, though holding no office, we believe, save the uninfluentiat one of member of the Board of Education, t« which body he was attached for several years. He has occupied a fine house and grounds on Clifton avenue, kept a stylish establishment, lived in a comfortable man ner, and beeu generally reputed worth from three hundred tnous;.nd to half a million of dollars. He was engaged in the provision business, was at one time a member of the well known firm of Brush & Cos., was afterwards seuior partner in the house of E istman & Cos. He operated largely in hi3 own immediate line of business, and was specially well known throughout the interior, with the merchants of which he was widely connected. His credit in business circles has been generally good, and, though some claim to have sus pected its soundness for several years, he has had no difficulty in using it extensively, as the amount of his defalcation shows. It haß transpired that Eastman was not in volved, but tURt he has probably been ena bled to take a large amount of money with him. nis broker, Mr. Edmund T. H. Gib son, of No. 54 William street, New York, and residing at No. «7 Pierrepont street, is believed to be involved to a large amount. He also obtained lor Eastman a considerable amount of mdney upon the certificate of the deposit of land, as signed iu duplicate by Howe, the warehouseman. These Gibson accepted, and also cashed Eastman's indivi dual notes, and those of the firm of Eastman & Cos., some of which were made out by his partner. These he holds ns unpleasant re minders of his great confidence in a man Who stood high Wherever he was known. Among those who lose by Mr. Eastman are Williams, Guyon & Cos., $40,000; Mr. Spoffiird, $30,000; W. A. Brown, $25,000; W. T. Coleman, $50,000, and the estate of Edward Mott Robinson, who died about ten days ago, $75,000. It is next to impossible to get any facts as to the losers, because each oqe who has been taken in desires to dis guise the fact, if possible, in order that his own credit may not be injured thereby. There have victims to the amount of SIOO,- 000 already appeared, aud the whole amount will reach over half a million. The store of Eastman & Cos. is now in the hands of the Sheriff, upon an attachment, as is also tlie warehouse where the lard was stored. On examination of this latter place it was found that not half the barrels mark ed “full ’ contained any lard at all. It fur ther appeared that the storehouse would not contain one-quarter the number of barrels re ceipted as being there in store. The market lelt tlie excitement this morn ing. Pork fell and lard came down $1 on a barrel. “Cumberland” in which, just before Grant took Richmond, Eastman made a large amount, stood firm. It will be seen that thc operation was an extremely adroit one. The provision broker Who is implicated iu she transaction was a neighbor of Mr. Eastman in business, and is understood to be Mr. 0. K. Howe, cf Broad street. The broker referred to as having lost heav ily is a Brooklyn man. He is very unjustly connected with the frauds of Eastman. This is so far fiom being the case that he lost by Eastman nearly one hundred thousand dol lars—about $75,000 in notes nnd the balance in book account. lie had been accustomed to purchase stocks for Eastman, in some advancing the money on note, and in some cases taking note or book account for tlie losses. lie was also “ stuck” to the amount of twenty thousand dollars by a bogus receipt from Howe, which w a3 gene rally regarded as so good that his bank ad vanced money upon ft. Some believe that Mr. Eastman acted un der the impulse of insanity, to which he is reported by his friends to have been subject within the- last few years. If so, there was a strange method iu his madness, and thcie is no reason, except the alleged previous at tack, l'or any such supposition. Mr. Eastmen s private character has gen erally been regarded as pure. He has been extremely tpupificient in its gifts fqf yarious benevolent purposes, and only lately supplied the funds for almost entirely defraying the expenses of au exhibition of the Horticultu ral Association. Facts have not loug since, however, come to light which cast a very dark suspicion qpon njs character, and in a recent attempt to procure liis reappointment . to the Board of Education his reputation suf fered severely. He was impulsive, superfi cial, generous and of very cordial tempera ment, nqd must haye been an easy prey to gj-eat te'tfiptatiqqs. He ig fepoffed to have been seen in New York us late as eleven o’clock ou Saturday, and is suspected to Lave taken passage with a view of reaching Switzerland, with” which country, jt is currently believed, there is no extradition treaty. ]t lie aaiied front New York on Saturday J } p w ijj haye fqr a fellow passenger our townsman, Alderman Wallace Who will be able to report whether Eastman had a companion, and if so, whom, and of which sex.

[Paris correspondence of th* London Times. June 7 1 j It is sa.id, and I believe truly said, that the Emperor is ill satisfied with the progress of affairs since his departure for Algeria and that the probable effect of the debate on the budget will not tend to lessen his displeasure The Ajaccio manifesto must have given him considerable annoyance, but this is not the first time he has had to express publicly liis disavowal of the acts of his cousin. J It appears that, his Imperial Highness is much more calm and resigned for the last two thau lieforc. it ia not often that the Emperor loses his temper, but there was something in his last rebuke which showed that, however calm on the surface, there was something beneath which was thoroughly roused, and that it would not be safe to trifle with. The Prince is said to have received letters from his fatlier-in-lnw, Victor Eman uel, recommending prudence, and giving be sides a world of advice. Other friends have not been wanting in their good offices. The upshot is that the Priuce is tractable and somewhat repentaut, and that ho will go to Toulon to meet his cousin and sovereign who is expected there on the 17th. pipping intelligence.
