to free trade. This is what it wants, and
it is the best meal s that could he u>ed to

This is a free country, and ivery man

Our dispatches a few days ago announ
ced that Kx Governor Aiken, of South
Carolina, had been summoned from (Muir
lesion to Washington.'and it was iiitima
! ted that he was stimiiiancd to answer for
(some crime It seetm, however, that he
was aeeomj anied by Id* family, and our
dispatches this morning, state that he
has hd interview* with the President
and Secretary of War, and that the inter
view* were for the purpose of obtaining
information as to the best course to be
pursued in tt.a future government of the
State. Gov. Aiken has always been con
sidered as u Union mao, even in his own
State. When our force* landed in Char
leston, he is said to have been the first
to wcloomo Gilmore Ind n was but the
other day that he emancipated ail his
slaves and gave each of’ them a little
farm to cultivate. When ?tlic Nebraska
conflict was at its bight in *SO A ’56. Sen
ator Bank* and Governor Aiken were the
j opposing candidates for Speaker of the
House of representative*. It was Mussa ‘
jehuxetfl pitted against South Carolina.—
During the months of December, *55,
■nd January. ‘so,one hundred and thirty-
I two ballots had been taken when it was
determined to adopt the plurality rule.— j
On the first ballot Bank* received one
: hundred and three Votes and Aiken one
• hundred. Brink:? was considered a mod
erate Northern man, and Aiken a conser
! vativc Southerner.
A dispute arose as to whether the Clerk
|'T the House John W. Forney, had de
! dared the vote correctly, when Mr. Aiken
rose and moved that Speaker Hanks be 1
; comluetod lo the chair. Such an act of
dignity and true chivalry settled the mat
ter and he was apointed chairman of the
Escorting Committee. During the re
hellion he has remained in South Cjro
• ina. and was a strong opponent of Jeff’
Davis, but ns he was rich and powerful,!
the latter dare not disturb him. It w *
something of a coincidence that on one
and the same night Gen. Banks, in Mem
phis. Lx Governor Aiken* in Charleston,
addressed meeting* ii j,raise of t} iC late!
President, & nd denunciatory of xle assas
sination. Time work* many wonders.

had. found a true bill against O’Leary,
the other day, and he is now under SB,OOO

Ai’PKARANcr.ok H.mm's Hour. —The
1 body of Booth is n or lying in tlie Navy
1 5 aid. An order forbids any person ac
cess to it, except by express permission
of the Secretary of War From a brief
look upon the body, I find that Booth hail
cut off his moustache apparently with
scissors, trimmed li! hair and allowed h s
beard to grow, thus maternally altering
his appearance. The lower part of his
t'aee is discolored by extravasations of
blood. The ball which produced his
, death entered the hack of the skull, in a
! position very similar to which the fatal
’ ball entered the skull of President Lin-
I coin.
In Canada the news of President Lin
coln’s death wu* received with pinfound
regret. In Nova Scotia the business in
the Legislature was suspended. In Mon
treal and other large cities meetings were
called.

corps, that the forces under Lieut Gen
eral Dick Taylor have surrendered.
The war is now virtually at an end in
Alabama and Mississippi.
Suni-.F.NiiKttoF Gkn. Pfurim..—Gen
eral Delirill, and the forces under him,
surrendered near Athens on Monday.—
This command was a part of the forces
which accompanied Mr. Davis from Char
lotte, X. C. and Washington. The men
had on their persons from twenty-five to
thirty dollars in specie each'—being a
part of the money taken from the city a
few days since.
Grkfmiacks—This currency is im
proving rapidly in onr markets. On
Saturday gold was selling’ one for one
fitly, and on Monday gold sold one for
ouo twenty-five.
A e are plcnscd to notice this change
in the money marker. It shows that a
healthy state of affiirs has already been
inaugurated in the financial world. In a
tew weeks greenbacks, both st the Noith

On the fill of June, 1864, Booth reg

with his diamond ring, upon the glass in
the window of his room, this sentence ;•
“Abe Lincoln departed this life,
