On the evening of the 4th iust., according to Flake’s Bulletin, the Court House at Galveston was thronged with the most fashionable audience which has assem bled in that city since the war; all the wealth, intelli gence, beauty and fashion of both Galveston and Houston appeared on the occasion of Admiral Semmes’ lecture. All that the room would contain were there, and many were forced to go away for want of a place. He was introduced to the assembly by Col. Lantlier. and then Went, on as follows. We copy from the Bulletin: • Fellow-Citizens:—I have Wen invited to deliver one of a course of lectures. Every one is to be be lieved in his own art, which may oe paraphased, no one is to be believed but iu his own art. This is not my art. I am not accustomed to the lecture room. Othello’s occupation is gon«f. [Applause,] I do not propose to touch any political subject; I propose to speak of. the history of the Alabama as viewed iu the light of history and American precedents. Your in vitation fouud me at home e'rtdeavoring to restore our State to her place in the Federal Union 'without tar nishing her honor. A little while back we were all engaged, heart and soul, in a mighty war; now wp are engaged with equal earnestness in the pursuits of peace. The architects in our revolution left then- work incomplete. They must expect to be condemned and despised in their day. A philosopher never quar rels with nature. This, I am happy to say, is the course of all our prominent leaders. Instead of giving way to useless repining, they are acting with tact and talent in all the walks of honest labor. Men of one generation make history; men of another write it. The actors in a conflict, such as is passed, are disqualified from being its historians. It is to put ou record some tacts regarding the Alabama that I speak to-night. I propose to show you that she was not a pirate, a privateer, or a bucanneer, but the recognized ship, wearing the colors of a State, by the laws of nations. On the land, an enemy might overrun a country without destroying private pro- perty. Destroying private property on land is for bidden. Not so on the sea. The destruction of com merce In ancient times was a slow process. The war between the Confederate aud the United States was the first between maratime powers since the intro duction of steam. The Alabama had warrant for what she did both in the laws of nations and of the United States. She was built abroad. The United States has made the British origin of the Alabama a constant source of complaint She was built by the Lairds. The United States Government endeavored to contract with this same firm to build ships fo : them. [Mr. Seinmes here read extracts from Mr. Laird's speech in the House of Commons, already published and well kuown.] From this speech it. appears that before they undertook to build the Alabama, the United States Government had been in treaty with the Messrs. Laird to build gunboats aud monitors. We offered better terms—hence the Alabama be came a Confederate ship instead of a Federal vessel. She leff England as a merchant vessel. Her Con federate commission was read and her proper flag un furled an the high seas, where the Confederate had as much authority as the Federal Government. It is the commission a sovereign puts on board a vessel that makes her a personification of the sovereign. Even if a slop be built in a neutral territory she is purged of that wrong as soon as she is commissioned. If the Alabama was built iu violation of the neutrality law, that was a question between the United States and England. From the moment the Confederates were recognized as belligerents, they had a full right to make war m every particular. The United States acknowledged this in the first mouths of the war. In support of this proposition the speaker quoted Vattel, 3d book, and argued that if the United States could buy ships, the Confederate States could do the same. The speaker then quoted Justice Griet-’s decision in the prize cases, reported in 2d Black Reports, laying great stress on the passage, “it is not necessary that the State should bt^recognized.” Mr. Semmes entered largely into the history of the South American States, claiming that their cruisers captured prizes aud carried them into American ports. In illustration of the fact that the Southern States were recognized, and entitled to all the sovereign rights of war, Gens. Grant and Sherman treated Gens. Lee and Johnston as generals of an army. Allusion was here made to the circumstances of the speaker’s parole, and to the fact that he was described both us an Admiral and General. Johnston and Sherman treated each other as equals. Wo laid down our arms iu consideration that the safety of our-persons should be guaranteed. When General Grant wrote his letter to General Lee, he recognized us as soldiers of a de facto Government. The speaker here drew a parallel betweeu the Revo lution and the Confederate States. If what the colo nies did was right when they did it, What the Confed erate States did was right when they did it. The acknowledgment ol American independence by Eng land made no difference, because whatever rights they had, ti.ey received because of their-governments de facto, and not tie jure. The speaker here quoted from Fennimore Cooper’s Naval History the exploits of Paul Jones aud other American privateers, asserting that the colonial priva teers destro3’ed tlieir prizes at sea, and arguing that they had less warrant than ho had. The whole coast was blockaded, and the burning of prizes was a neces sity that ho could not avoid. Tho colonies less than a century ago did those very things which they now charge ou us as crimes. Passing to the commissioners appointed by the col onies—Silas Dean, Dr. Franklin and John Adams—the speaker drew ft parallel between them aud Messrs. Slidell and Mason. The career of the Surprise, Capt. Cunningham, a colonial cruiser, was then, quoted as a precedent of the Alabama. Charles Francis Adams complained that the Con federate States had commissioners iu England, carry ing on a naval bureau. The colonial commissioners had a naval bureau iu France. In this manner were the Revenge, Reprisal, Lexington and the Dolphin obtained. But it has been charged that the Alabama had foreigners on board—asserting that this was no valid objection, since Paul Jones had a motley crew on board the Bon Homme Richard. The speaker concluded tlMis: The Alabama was not a new construction, save that she was a steam vessel. Dr.- Franklin and his compeers constructed aud manned a good many Aiabuinas in their day. What our sires did their sous may do.' In other genera tions the nlstory of the North will be the history of the South. By the philo^opliy ol history 1 am willing to be judged. If the philosophy ol history embalms the struggles ol* the colonial Slates, so will it embalm the struggles of llie Confederate Stab s. If it records approvingly theexploits of ihc Surprise and the Re venge, so will it record tho « xploits of the Alabama. [From the Baltimore Sun.] The Arrest of Joint TI. .Surratt. We have already published tin* pith and point of the diplomatic correspondence iu relation to the escape of John H. Snrratt to Europe, aud his arrest iu Rome, whither ho escaped to Egypt, where he was subse quently rearrested. The foreign news by the cable, given yesterday, stated that the man who gave the in formation which led to the arrest of Surratt is a French Canadian, named St. Marie. He was formerly a Union soldier, and afterwards -served in the Papal Zouaves. Both he and Snrratt, it is alleged, were in love with the same lady in Washington, and St. Marie betrayed Surratt through jealousy. The following is said to be the affidavit of SL Marie, on which Surratt was first arrested while serving as a Papal Zouave: “1 was living in Maryland, at a small village called Ellangowan, or little Texas, about twenty-fivo or thirty miles from Baltimore, where I was engaged as teacher for a period of about five months. I there aud then got acquainted with Lewis J. Weicliman aud John H. Surratt, who came to that locality to pay a visit to the parish priest. At that first interview a great deal was said about the war aud slavery, the sentiments expressed by these two individuals being more than secessionist. In the course of the conver sation, I remember Surratt to have said that Presi- deni Lincoln would certainly pay for all the men that were slain during the war. About a month after I removed to Washington, at the Instigation of Weich- man, and got a situation as tutor , where he was engaged. Surratt visited ns weekly, and he once offered to sond mo South, but I declined. I did not remain more than a month at Washington, not being able to agree wilh Weichman, aud enlisted in the army of the North, as stated in my first statement in writing to General King. I have met Surratt iu Italy, at a small town called Velletri. He is now known under the name of John Waison. “I recognized him before he made himself known to me, and told him privately, 'You are John Surratt, the person I have known in Maryland.’ Ho acknmv- Iedged lie wuh, and begged of me to keep the thing secret. After some conversation we spoke of the uu- fortuuate affair of the assassination of President Lincoln, aud these were bis words: ‘Damn the Yankees, they have killed my mother. But I have done them as much harm as I could. We have killed Liucolu, tho niggers’ friend. 1 He then said, speaking of his mother, ‘Had it not been for me and that coward Weichman, my mother would be living now. It was tear made linu speak; bad he kept his tongue, there was no danger for him. Bui if I ever return to America and meet him elsewhere, I shall kill him.’ He then said he was in the secret service of the South, and Weichman, who was in some department there, used to steal copies ol the dis patches and forward them to him aud thence to Richmond. Speaking of the murder, ho said they had acted under the orders of men who are not yet kuowu, some of whom are still inNew York and others iu London. I am aware that money is seut to him yet from London. ‘When I left Canada/ he said, I ted but little money, but I hadja letter for a party in London. I was in disguise, with dyed hair and false beard; that party sent me to a hotel, where he Ufid me to remain till. I would hear from hiui; after a few weeks he came and proposed to go to Spaiu, but 1 declined, aud asked to go to Paris.’ He gave him seventy pounds, wilh a letter of introduc tion to a party there, who sent him here to Rome, where he joined the Zouaves. He s.iys be can gel money iu Rome at any time. I believe he is protected by the clergy, and that the murder w as the result of a deep laid plot, not only against the life of Pre ident Lincoln, but against the existence of the Republic, as wo are aware that priesthood ‘and royalty are, and al ways have been, opposed to liberty. Th it such men as Surratt, Booth, Weichman aud others, should, of their own accord, plan and execute the infernal plot which resulted in the death of President Lincoln, is impossible. There are others behind the curtain wlio haveto make these scoundrels act. I have also asked him if he knew Jefferson Davis. He said not,but that he had acted tinder instructions of person« nnder Us inunedisle orders. Being asked If Jeff. Davis had anything to do with theaaaaasina- tion, he aatd: “J am not going to teH you ’ My im pression is that he brought the order from Richmond, u ho was in the habit of going there weekly. He must have wished the others to do it, for when the event took place, be told me he ws* in New York, prepared to flv as soon as the deed was done. He says he does no??e“et“ hEbas taken place, and that he wiilvant jj.. w York in a year or two, a& there is a heavy ship ping firm there who bad much to do with the South, and he is surprised that they have not been suspected. This is the exact truth of what X know . abo _“‘ More I could not learn, being afraid to ttikeo bis auspicious, and farther I do not say.
