As a matter of fact, however, President Johnson has done nothing. The question at This mo ment stands just where Mr. Lincoln lelt it.— Tbo depredations of the Shenandoah have also been made tho subject of representations to the Government. These representations were made by order of Mr. Lincoln, awl far from being of an unfriendly nature they brought out more plainly than before the amicable dis position of both Governments.

A religious service ou the occasion of the death of Mr. Lincoln was performed in the American chapel in Paris, of the Rue Bayard, April 29. A service fclso took place in the English chapel of the Cour dea Codies, of which the Rev. Mr. Gurney is diaplain, with the same object of testifying the sorrow of the American citizens in Paris. Previoua to the Eervice the following correspondence took place between Mr. Gurney and Mr. Slidell, who represents tho Confederate Government: LETTER FROM MR. OUIINET. My Dear Sir:—l trust you will ngroa with me that Southern Americans should take every opportunity to reprobate the lato assas sinations, and it is chiefly with » view to do •away with angry feelings that I have proposed to hold a solemn service, to which both South o’clock on Saturday.

My Dear Sir :—Mo one could have heard with greater horror and regret than I the in telligence of tire atrocious crime perpetrated p.t. Washington. No one could repudiate with sterner indignation tho idea that tho assassins had received promptings or encouragement from friends of the Confederate cause. Per haps no two prominent persons of the Federal Government could have been selected who ex cited in a less degree feelings of personal hos tility and vindictiveness than President Lin coln and his Secretary of State. lam much obliged to you for inviting me aud my family to assist at the solemn service which you pro pose to hold to-morrow af v your chapel, aud, could be present sitnplr to manifest tho feel ings which I have briefly expressed,.we would not hesitate to kneel with you in prayer for the souls of the victims. But reflection will, I am sure, satisfy you that our presence on. the melancholy occasion would bo subject to vari ous and not trnnatural misconstructions, re ceived on the part of some ns r. hypoediical display of a regret we did not feel; l>y others, as a virtual acknowledgement of the injustice of the cause in the defence of which so many noble martyrs have fallen; and as a tacitly im plied acquiescence in the course of policy pur sued by Mr. Liacolu since his accession to power on the 4th of March, 13G1. I will take pleasure in compliance witb your req-nest, to let any Confederate friends I may see knew of the intended ceremony. Believe me, very sincerely, Your friend and servant, John Slidell. STATIC ITEMS. Cal. Eggleston’ the commander at Atlanta, has issued an order protecting the shade trees in tjat city. The shade tre-.s in every city should he protected by the firie’eet laws. A severe hail storm fell in the viciDity of F.itleclg°, May 30, doing serious injury to the cicps. We have heard of heavy hail in many Idealities, which will possibly enable Us to .ac count for the remarkable coolness of the weath er during the past few days. A correspondent' of the Macon Telelgraph waiting from Dawson, Southwestern Georgia, ruder date of May 2Stb, save: There have n'»t been any rains that benefited the growing cir.ps, during the post two months or more lUin storms and thunder clouds pass by us al most every night, and it is" very tantalizing to e? them move along with plenty of lightning fiithißg on their way, but none of it to benefit tiis parched and desert country. The crops promise to he light h°re. The fine corn stand is small and feeble and scorched very much by the dry weather and burning sun. The wheat is nearly lipe and will soon be harvested, ihisugh It is small, and will yield but a light crip. The amount of country to which these r* narks pertain, however, applies only to a small scope, immediately in this vicinity, la every direction In m here, outside of a radius of eight or ten miles, the growth of all kinds of prodedfe promises a large yield. P. dns have been plentiful and the season generous for growth of all kinds. The corn on the planta tions, especially through the counties West, and South of this point, is very forward and largo—a great quantity of it is over tread high and vey luxuriant ia growth. The wheat crop alto is veiv fine in the counties men- PientiHil ruins have extended far Southward and West of us, and caused the veg etation to be very luxuriant, rich and produc tive.

England, France, Austria, and ot'uei Enrope- \ an nations, content themselves with paying the interest cn their mammoth debts ; and I many prophecy that we shall have to do the j same, and that our national debt, l.ke theirs, ! will never l e paid. But this is a great mis-| tike, for there i3 as little analogy between the ; origin and nature of onr debt and their debt, as there is between our Government and their Government, or ai there is between onr re sources and their resources. We have heretofore astonished the Old World by tbo rapidity of our growth and tho ease with which we paid off the debts of one revo lutionary struggle, as weli a3 those of two sub sequent wars. But recent events have excited in oMier nations more than mere astonishment, and the very tone and tenor of the foreign press shew that wbilq the valor, snd jmitab'« energy aud b-illiant achievements of oar .armies have wrung from them a tribute of ad] miration, the exhibitions which we have made of our power and inexhaustible resources daring four years of a war of unparalleled magnitude have excited a degree of iear and dread, which cannot be hid in hypocritical expressions of congratulations on our success. Despite I tho carpiugs of traitors and tho profess i ions of mercenary Speculators in the stock | market, we have no fear of the result ; and in : the daily evidences which the people are giv ing of their patriotism and confidenes. we eco a sure guaro.niy that our national debt will bo piid off without ab'tdment, whenever it shall j be deemed most expedient and most advan I tageous. ® ' In further elucidation of this subject we wculd invite attention to the views of a laie wr’der in the National Republican,-as represent ed in the following remarks : On the. 31st of March last the official state ment shewed the public cobt to be $2,367,<)t0,- 000. Laws to operation provide for SOOO,OOO - mors, v'z: «ho seven-thirty loan, now being so rapidly taken. This is believed to be sufficient, with the ordinary revenues of the 'rov'-rnmcnt, to meet ail expenses and uceni ing liabilities up t > July 1, 1866 uiakinff the debt ut that time, therefore. $2 967,040,003. — Os this amount, $2,500.000,000 is interest-bear ing debt, tbo remaining $167,000*000 being legal tenders aud fractional currency, not bear ing interest,. Os the interest-hearing debt in existenc * March 31st, about fifty millions of five per cent notes will undoubtedly bn cancel led on or before the Ist of July, 1865, and it is furthei believed that enough surplus funds will be derived from the seven-thirty loan, and the sales of public property during the next year, to absorb over SIOO,OOO 000 of the temporary deposits and certificates of indebtedness, re ducing the debt by that much, which will al low the funding of $167,090,-000 of th« frac tional currency and greenback currency, leav ing out and unredeemed of this $300,000,000, and $2 500 000,000 of interest- bearing debt on the Ist of July, 1866. At the present rates of interest paid, the ave rage rates of interest for several years will be 6 p’r cent , for there will be 3900 000.0 OJ of 7-30’8, aud near $900,000,000 of 5 20's, and 1881 bonds, besides the compound interest notes, &c., therefore, the interest will be $150,- 000,000 annually. , England with a population of 30 000.000, raises $350,030 000 for the suppoit of her Gov ernment, and payment iff interest on her debt, &e. No one will doubt our capacity to bear the taxation necessary to raise the same sura annually, as we too have 30,000,000 of people After the Ist of July, 1860, $100,000,000; and from internal revenue, $250 COO.OOO. For the five years ending the Ist of July, 1860, our Government expenses, exclusive of payments on public debts, averaged very near ly $65,000 000 annually, and it is more than probable that they will now foot up $120,- 000,0l'0 to $130*000,000 annual’y, and to this might, bo addea enough for extraordinary expenses, such ss war claims of loyal States and tho claims of individuals for property do stroyed, etc .to carry the expenditure up to $l5O 000 000 annually. This, then will leave $200000,000 to be applied annually to the payment of the principal and interest of tho public debt, which will pay off the $2,500,- 000 000 in exactly twenty yorrs : or should it be doomed advisable to anp'y $25,000,000 an nually to the withdrawal of the $300,000,000 greenbacks remaining in circulation, i'ortwel «e yrars, and then to the increasing expenses of the Government, leaving 3175,000,000 annual ly, which will wipe out the debt in exactly thirty years. Now, then, what is the real amount of the ppblic debt in this view t If we content our selves with simp'.v paying the interest, in thir ty years, at $150,000 000 .i year, we shall have paid flic sum of 4,500 030 000 If we add cn ly this 25.000,000 annually for payment of principal—of course using for the same pur pose the saved of the 150 000,000 by lha re duction annually in the amount paid in as interest-we have t’ge additional sum of 3750.000,000, required in thirty years for this purpose, and really represents ah .that will be drawn from the people for tho purpose of paying off the debt. By the addition of another $25,000 o*oo 'an nually, making $50,000,000 to I>j used ia ad ilit'oa to tr.o $150,000,000 required for the in terest, tiro debt will be paid In just twenty years. This* will require $503,000 000 more in the twenty years than would bo required by the slower process, and yet it would relieve the nation lvom r taxation t > the amount of 175,00-0,000 ivomuiUy for the last ten years,and would save the enormous sum of $1,250,000,- 000, to be drawn from th •. people by the thi; iy years process--that abacib'ni; and using $1,250,- 009,000 whereas ihe twenty yeiyrs process .will rtquiio only 34 000 000.,000-—51,000,000,- 000 ready representing the debt, and the inter est for twent-- rears under the no pay system being $3,00(0,000,090, 1’ will thus be seen i hat it i>m ea sy matter to ray off our debt. AM ih-aj we have to do is to sid apart iirevoctbiy for that purpose a sum sufficient to.pay the interest and some of the principal, using all that is left after paying the interest ear h year to reduction cf principal, and let that sum be as large as the nation cm bear. We certainly can bear $25,000,000 more than is necessary to pay only tin annual ‘in terest with ho reduction of debt, and no doubt can bear $50,000,000, annually for that pur pose.

Sherman to terminate hostilities in North and : South Carolina. Georgia ami Florida, it soems to me proper to put before the people of those [States the condition of military affairs which | rendered that measure absolutely neces-ary. On the 20th of April, the day of the Con vention, by the returns of throe Lieutenant Generals of the Army of Tennessee (that under mv command), the number of infantry and ar tillery present and absent w.cs 70.510 -the to-, tdl present IS 57S—the effective total, or fight ing force, 14,179. Oa <ho 7th of April, the date of the lastreturml can find, the t ffective | total of cavalry was 5,4.40. But between the 7ih and 26th of April it was greatly- reduced by events in Virgin’a and apprehensions of sur render. la South Carolina we hid Young’s Division o f c tvalrv, legs than 1,090, besides reserves and State troops —together much inferior tq the Union force in that State. In Florida we were too weak, la Georgia cur inadequate force bad been captured at -Macon, in Lieut. Gea. Tay'or’s department tnere were no means of opposing the formidable army, under Gen C ru by. which had taken Mobile, nor the cavalry under Gen Wilson, which had captured every other place of importance west of Augusta. The latter had been stopped at Macon by the arn»i»dce, as we had been at Greens bor ough, but its distance from Augusta being less than half of ours, that place was its power. To carry on the war, therefore, we had to de pend on the Atmv of the Tennessee alone. The United States could have brought again.-t it twelve or fifteen time3 its number in the ar mies of Generals Grant, Sherman and Canby. With such odds against us, without the means of procuring ammunition or repairing avm«, without money or credit to provide food, it was impossible to continue the war except as robbers. The consequence of prolonging the struggle would only have been the de struction or dispersion of cur bravest men, and great suffering of women and children, by the desolation and ruin inevitable from the marching of two hundred thousand men through the country. having failed in au attempt to obtain forms giving security to citizens as well ns soldiers, I choose between wuitoidv bringing the the evils of war upon those 1 had been chosen to defend, and averting ritese calamities with the confession that hopes were dead, which every thinking Southern man had already lost I therefore stipulated wish Gen. Sherman for the security of the brave and true men com mitted to me on terms which also terminated hostilities in all the country ever which'my command extended, and announced it to your Governor* bv telegraph, as follows : The disaster in Virginia, the capture by tiro | enemy of all our workshops for the prepara ! tlon of ammuuitiou and repairing of arms, the impossibility of recruiting our little army, op posed to more than ttu times its number, cr of supplying it except by robbing our.oan citterns," destroyed ail hope of successful war. 1 have therefore made a military convention with Major Gen. Sherman to terminate hostili ties in North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. I made this convention to spare the blood of this gallant little army, to prevent further suffering of our people by the devasta tion and ruin inevitable from the ma ching < i invading armies, and to avoid the crime of waging a hopeless war.

In Georgia a deal of corn has also been planted, though tne plant does not look so well as in A'abama. lie thinks there will be enough m . a '* e both States to supply the people! with bread, if the negro laborers are to be re tained.

That we ar beilen is a self-evident fact, and any further rcrUtaneo on our part would be justly regarded, as the height of fol ly and rashness. The armies of Generals Lee and Johnston have surrendered, you are the last of all the troops ol the Confederate States armies east of the Mississippi river, to lay down your arras • T ie ciuse for which you have so long and so manfully struggled, and for which you have braved dangers, eodrtred privations and suffer ings, and made so many sacrifices, is to-day hopeless The Government which we nought to establish and pm; etuate’ ic. at an end. Ren son dictates and humanity demands that no more blood be shed. Fully realizing and feel ing that such is thq case, it is vonr duty and mine to 'ay down our alms—submit to the “powers th it be"— and to aid in restoring peace and establishing law and order throughout the land. Tiro tends upon which you were surrender ed are favorable and should be catisf.rct.oiy and acceptable to oil. They manifest.a spirit of roagnanuuily and Sibcradiy. on the part of the Federal autboritos, which should be met on oar par.t by a faithful ’compliance with all the stipulation :: n 1 eondßions therein express ed As vour comroar-ier, 1 oincerely hope that every officer jc-.d soldier of my command will cheerfully obey the order given, and carry out in good faith all tha terms bt the j«rte]. wTho*a who neglect tho terms, and refuse to to be paroled, m »y assuredly- expect, when ai rested, to be sent North and imprisoned. Let those who are absent from their com mands, from whatever eau*c. report at once to this pb ee, or to Jackson, Mis?., or, if _ too re mote from either, to the nearest United States post or garrison for parole. Civil war, such as we have just passed through, naturally engenders feelings of ani mosity, hatred and revenge It is our duly to divest ourselves of all snob feelings; anti, os far p.o in our power to do so, !o cultivate friend ly feelings to winds those with whom we have so long contended, aud heretofore fj widely, but honestly, differed. Neighborhood feuds, personal animosities, and private differences, sh uld be blotted out; and when, you return home, a manly, s'-jjug’it for ward course of con duct will secure the respect even of your ene mies Whatever your responsibilities may be to Government, to society, or to individuals, meet th-’ra like men. The attempt made to establish a separate and independent Coaledwati:>n has filled ; but theconsciev.sruvs of having done your du ty faithfully,'and to tbo end,- will in, some measure repay you for the hardships you have undergone. In bidding yon farewell, rest assured that you carry with you my best' wishes for your future welfare and happiness, Wi hou', In any way referring to the merits of the cause in which w3 have been engaged, your courage and determination, as exhibited on many hard fought fields, has elicited t.ho respect, and ad miration of iricrd and foe. Ami I now cheer fully and gratefully acknowledge my indebted-. n<*ss to tho officers and mqjiofiny command', whose zeal, fi tellty, and unflinching bravery have been the great source ol my past success in arm*!. I have never, on the fi -Id of battle, sent you whore I waa unwilling to go myself, nor would I now adv so you to a course which I felt my self unwilling to pursue. You have been good soldiers; you can be ccod citizens. Obey the laws, preserve your honor, rn 1 the Gov ernment to which which yon h ive surrendered can afford to be, and will be. magnanimous. IT 11.

Well, you know what importance I attach to such matters,.and ihat 1 have been too long lighting with the real rebels with muskets in their hands, to be scar td by mero aou-combafants, »o matter . how high their civil rank-or station.

As for my?Mf, I ask no popularity, no re ward, for I dare the War Department to pub lish my official letters and reports. I assert that my official letters and reports have been nurpbsely suppressed, while all the power of the press bus been turned m .Hgriantly :>/m nst me.
