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!

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. SuRRF.NOF.It (IK G FN.

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 as well as in the South, will stand in val ue to gold as the hills o e the best banks lid in the funner halcyon day a of peace. hromrfr J* Sen find. - .
