1865. THE 81TUAT10N. A little ovur four years ago Abraham Lincoln, then a comparatively untried man, left his quiet horn In the little town or prmgtleld, Illinois, to aeeume high and responsible dtitioa of President of tins republic, the most exalted and honorable of all worldly positions. On Wednesday last all that la mortal of Abraham Lincoln returned to that same quiet little town, but in those four years what mighty events in the history of the republic and of the world occurred, how wonderful have been the developments in thy character of the then improved man. A nation that was then in the throee of dissolution, apparently ready to fall Into a hundred fragments, has, through his indomitable, unswerving, yet mild anl even tempered will, that amidst the mont appalling and seemingly Insurmountable obstacles, calmly but (Irmly pursued its llxed purposes, the conscientious convictions of duty to Cod and knit Into a compactness and coherence and establiaod upon a basis of endurance never Torn in its history nppronched, and such as to rejoice the hearts of its millions of citizens and excite the envy of the world.

And npon the face and heart of that nation i lus been iueffacoably stumped the character and gonitis 8 of that then comparatively obscure man, whom in all Us ages to come, white speaking reverently of its Father, it will recognise as its saviour. Honors such as the poo pie of tlxe United States havo nevor boforo paid to the remains of a dlatingulohed citizen they have shown to the body of Abraham IJncolu, as well because they the man himself as that in the osaassin shot which his life they recognized the Jjlow atr. ck ut each and all of And as hla funeral train has moved across the land it has passed through on: continued throng of mourners, and the weeds and emblems of sorrow in unbroken links have linarf its mnivh fin WmIiiamIrv tho TiimL fit a Linn In the ptoceiwion wan reached, and yesterday the body of our murdered'aud mourned President was committed to the grave near bis own loved homo. The Dual funeral errcmonins at SprlnglSeld won marked the same (solemnities that sttended the pre- I demonstrations In other towns. Thousands of people from tho Hirrotindlng country and nil tho ftdfoiuing Stales were present, and tho remains were escorted to Oak Ridge Cemetery by a largo civic and military proceMion, of which Geu-ral Hooker acted at Chief marshal.

A condentrd but most interesting narrative of the entire expedition of General Wilton'x cavalry raiders from Chickasaw, Alatiama, to Macon, G-urglo, Is furnished by our correspondent who accompanied this magnlQ ent body of throughout the march.

Four Important towns, thousand prisoners, over two hundred canBon, and large snppllesof small arms were captured, and flve hundred million dollars worth of property belonging to the relx'l govornm nt was destroyed.

Congress assembled the 11th of that month, and received the mcssngo of Lho acting President. It was a document of considerable length, but contained nothing of interest In this region. The counting of the votes for a now Prosidont showed that General Falcon was olected, being the choice of nineteen States out of twenty. Ho had not yet been inaugurated. A revolution was progressing in the State of New Barcelona; but it was not considered of much consequence.

The new Board of Fire Commissioners met and formally organised yesterday; but their meeting was in secret, and thoir proceedings were not divulged. An injunction was Issued yesterday by Jurigo Sutherland, of the Supreme Court, restraining the Mayor and Chief Kngineer of the Fire Department from transferring any portion of the city property to tho now Commissioners, and preventing the latter from Interfering or intermeddling in any way with the department as it at present exists. Tho injunction was issued on the application of Attorney General Cochrane, who holds that the law creating the new Board of Fire Commissioners Is unconstitutional. There was no meeting of tho Board of Councllmen yesterday, a quorum uot being present at the call of the roll The ninety seventh annual meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was held yesterday, when officers for the ensuing year were elected. Mr.

A. A. Low won re-elected President by acclamation, and Messrs. William E. Dodge and Jonathan Sturgis wore unanimously chosen First and Second Vice Presidents.

Francis 8. Luthrop was elected Treasurer, and J. A. Stevens, Secretary. the other officers hud been chosen the President made an address, In which he reviewed the history of the Chamber from the time of Its institution, in 1768, up to the present, and strongly urged upon the members the erection building of their own In which to bold their meetings.

In with this suggestion a committee of ten was appointed to take the preliminary steps for erecting a tructure to coat about a million of dollars. A series of 1 solutions was unanimously adopted and ordered to be 1 ransmltted to President Johnson, expressing the hope hat the rehabilitation of the Union would be accomkaaled by magnanimity and clemancy and the total ex- I of slavery, approving the lately enunciated of the President regarding the enormity of the crime of treason, and asserting the belief that his recent i ardors removing restrictions on trade will have a Mmeflcial effect.

Mr. Hackett, tbe connscl for he Corporation, took the ground that as the pier In lueetion was inaaed to private ftidivtdnals the city could hnlrl llahln hut the Court dulled the correctness at the proposition, and ordered the Jury to find a verdict Tor thi plaintiff for the full value of tbe horse. The only caao triod yesterday In tho Court of General Sessions wait an indietmcat for forgery, charging Harry W.

Christy exocuted his which he devised his property, estimated at between one hundred and one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, to the woman with whom he waa living aa hia wife at the time of his death, to the exclusion of his former wife and her was in a sound state of mind.

There whs more firmness in commercial circles yesterday, owing to the higher prices current for gold, and In many commodities there was some advance.

The Fenian England Mean to do About It 1 The British authorities have displayed much anxiety of late in regard to the doings, aims and organization of the Fenian Brotherhood.

They asked our Secretary of State for "explanations and such information as he could give;" and their demand was complied with, to the very limited extent of the Secretary's sources of knowledge. From our more ample fountain of Fenian information, however, we this day spread before Lord Palmeraton, and tbe rest of mankind, all such particulars in regard to the Brotherhood as we deem of immediate public suppressing names, titles and other important arcana of tbe Order as same tms day exist in Ireland and Canada, within grasp of the British authorities. In return for those very full particulars given gratuitously to her moBt sacred Majesty's government we have to request Lord Palmerston at once to lay before us, through some one or other of his journalistic organs in the London press, precise data as to England's present policy of "neutrality;" also what England proposes to do in regard to the rebel conspirators and conspiracies in the Canadas; and finnlly whether it is the immediate intention of her most sacred Majesty's advisors to send over to us, without fuss, the amount of our little bill for the damages inflictcd on our shipping interests the Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Anglo-rebel privateers. We are not ihort of money just now, bnt would be obliged Lord a settlement in gold without delay. He knows the alternative; and if not, our Fenian developments may prove to him instructive reading.

President Johnwo'i Mnraerera at Mr. Lincoln. President Johnson, "to the end that justice may be done," has very properly set a price on the head of Jefferson Davis and certain of bis accomplices in crime. Davis, Clement C. Clay, Jacob Thompson, George N.

Sanders and Beverly Tucker, all olassed together, are made infamous forever by being thus advertised "on svidence" as accessories and accomplices in the meanest and most cowardly crime of the age. In doing its simple duty by the utterance of this proclamation the government has at the same time given satisfactory expression to an idea that has for some time revolved In the popular mind. Every one has thought that Davis should be proscribed and rewards offered for his capture. But hardly enough consideration has been given to the fact that whoever acts in the true spirit of our government must act with much more delicacy than governments usually do against those charged with political crimes. We suppose, moreover, that the government was unwilling to lend even an accidental dignity to the name of Davis by proscribing Bitch a wretch as the leader of a great political movement It has done bettor by setting a price upon his head as an accessory to a common and infamous crime, and by proscribing him in such a way as will enable it to demand him from any government in whose territory he may take refuge.

Many will be astounded to learn that a man in Davis' position would be guilty of such an act, and many will even doubt, despite the President's declaration, that a man identified with so great a struggle as that the South has made would soil his hands with murder. But the astonishment and the doubt will alike vanish if people will consider the real character of the men in question. Davis and his associate murderers have for years plotted the rain of our government, and have desired to destroy that government simply to satisfy personal ambitions that were inconsistent with its existence. Does not that alone comprehend the fitness and the readiness for every crime? They were ready to sacrifice the tranquillity of a nation, the happiness, prosperity and peace of thirty millions of people simply that they might oarry out their own ambitious plans. What is a single mnrder to that? They were ready also to sacrifice for their personal ambitions the lives of hundreds of thousands of men, North and own kindred and neighbors, too; and yet it is thought that such men would hesitate to take the life of the man who stood in their way.

Such thoughts are sentimental absurdities. Human life has not the HOrrpdnpnn in the ATM nf Snulhnrn man that it has with others. Murder baa not the atrocity to their Bemi-dvilizatlon that it has to us. The marder of Mr. Lincoln would be a very light matter to the man who could intentionally inflict upon bis fellow creatnres the horrors of the Southern prisons.

We suppose it not impossible that Davis may out of the country. Our seaboard is so great in extent that it is hardly possible to guard it all with sufficient vigilance to insure his capture. Hut if he should get away we hope that the government will unhesitatingly demand him of any country he may fly to. The demand should be made irrespective of whether or no we have hn extradition treaty with that particular country, and it should bo made with sufficient force behind to go and take the man, as a common enemy of the human race, in ease any should refuse to give him no.

MAT 8, 1865. op is not entitled to the respect to ft sorereign nation. It has lapsed into barbarism, and its territory should be treated as though it were the waste that it ought to be. TIm Defemderi of DbIm-Iow Iksll They he Employed I As a natural consequenoe of the collapse of the rebellion and the breaking up of our large armies many thousands of brave and patriotic men, who have served the country with firmness and fidelity since the beginning of the war, will be thrown out of emp oyment, and yet be compelled to find the means of support for themselves and their families. Every State, city and town throughout the land will shortly teem with these returning heroes, who, tbrongh seas of Ore, blood and iron hail, have never faltered in bearing qur banners onward to certain and decisive victory.

Their services are still at the country's disposal; but as the grave necessity that called them to the field has passod away, there is nothing left for them but to return to the quiet pursuits of peaceable life. What will the people do for these defenders of their homes, their lives and their fortunes? The answer is easy. Let all of these faithful soldiers and sailors be provided with employment suitable to their several necessities. First in order, all married or disabled men should be provided with places, and then all those who have faithfully served in either branch of the service, whether receiving wounds or not. In all public institutions we are confident that this will be the rule adopted, and gradually the principle will work itself into private establishments in whidh a large number of hands are This subject is one that recommends itself to the public, and we are glad to see that, in connection with the United States Sanitary Commission, a bureau of employment for disabled and discharged soldiers and sailors has been established in this city.

The success which has already attended the efforts of this benevolent society is the very best proof of its hold upon the hearts of the people. The secretary of the committee reports that a few weeks since, when seven hundred nnd twenty-nine applications were made, one hundred and thirty-seven were supplied with various occupations; and out of thirteen hundred subsequent applicants for work over five hundred found suitable situations. But, although this is very encouraging, there 2a miinK 4a Ko find all rrnnrl MllTAna should unite to forward the great idea of employing returned eoldiers in preference to all other persons. There are none having higher or better cluims than these brave fellows, who carry their characters in their wounds and disabled bodies, and not on bits of paper from their last employers. Let all these servants of the republic be employed in public as well as in private establishments, and, where neoessary, let those drones who have shirked the responsibility of defending the country when it needed defenders, preferring to enjoy ease and safety at home, at die expense of our valiant soldiers in the field, be now turned out of their places to moke room for men who have perilled their lives for the Union, and borne the beat and burden of the day.

That this idea will be generally adopted is scarcely to be doubted, and thus we will do justice to our fcithful defenders and at the same time allow each man to live on the bread earned by his own honest endeavors. Tan Constitutional Connecticut Legislature has unanimously ratified the constitutional amendment abolishing and interdicting slavery throughout the United States. This makes twentv-two States that have ratified this great amendment Only fire more are wanted to reach the required three-fourths of all the States, and they will be soon forthcoming. New Jersey, Delaware and Kentucky, under the control of the democratic party, voted against4he ratification at the last session of their respective Legislatures, the democratic leaders concerned no doubt still clinging to their old idea that African slavery la neceswary to the existence of their party. We guess that they will discover befoie the year is out that this hobby horse is knocked to pieces, and that they must consent to do without it, or sell out their stock in trade'to the highest bidder.

What is tub Use or a Corporation Attorney notice that the Board ot Aldermen has ordered that all further proceedings for violation of ordinances by the Corporation Attorney through the Corporation Counsel shall be discontinued. The above bureau has been of late, with no evidence of improvement, prostituted by prominent politicians for personal and party purposes. The bureau aught to be abolished or reorganized throughout by placing the appointment of Corporation Attorney in the bands of tho Mayor and Common vtinaa ftttnmav hfl la In fart. It in nnf omul for a principal in a suit at law to allow bis counsel to appoint an attorney. No more should the Corporation Counsel be empowered to appoint an attorney for the Mayor and Common Counoll.

Which the last accounts Jeff. Davis was at Yorkville, South Carolina, with Stoneman hot upon his trail. Which way will the arch traitor fly it be escapes the troopers of StonemanT He will hardly pnsh westward, for the Mississippi; for it is a long journey, apd Wilson's cavalry in that direction will be apt to head him off. He will probably strike southward, through Georgia, for somo point on the Florida coast, where, perchance, he may pick up a friendly fishing smack to ran him across to Cuba. The Navy Department would, therefore, do well in providing for a sharp lookont 11 around the Florida coast, not forgetting, the numerous inlets Georgia seaboard.

Jamm June, 1861, Jake Thompson, Mr. Buchanan's Secretary of the Interior, wrote a venomous, treasonable letter to the ancient Sage of Wheatland, In which he said that the seceding States would fight to the last extremity, even if they had to fight with pitchforks, and spoke glibly of "the coin, and iiui usurpations or povar. mis was Mr. Buchanan's correspondent, Jako Thompson, after the war had commenced, in 1861.

His name will not soon bo forgotten In connection with the (Jrinnell expedition to the Arctic regions in search of Sir John Franklin, the English oxpiorcr. He commandod that expedition, and succeeded in penetrating further into the icy barriers of the North than any navigator had reached up to that time. His report of the exploration was of greet value to the scientific world, and always possessed a charm for the guncAl road t. Lieutenant De Haven was a native of Pennsylvania, and entered the tervlcc as a midshipman October, 1829, at the oarly age of ten. In 1831 he was attached to the sloop Natchez, in the West Indies.

After the completion of his first cruise he was on leave antna tlmA taraa than amIanuI Aa Mia schooner Dolphin, of the Pacific squadron, in 1838.

After the fertolnafion of that Uo was lor a time doing duty on the receiving ship In New York, having pawed his examination, and warranted passed midshipman July 3, 1835. In 1836 he was on duty at llaltiuoro. In 1838 he wan ordered to the aloop-of-war Falmouth.

In the Pacific Pecan, In which he served until 1840, when he was detached and ordered to Join Wilkes' exploring expedition to the Antarctic He was promoted to a lieutenancy September 8, 1841, while attached to the sloopof-war I'eacock. Ho was on board of her when she whs lost, anil was favorably noticed for galUntry and skill displayed on that occasion. In 1843 he was attacho I to the brig Truxton, In tho Mediterranean, on social service. He returned homo in 1844, and wax on waiting orders until 1810, when ho was ordcrod to the brig ir'omers, of the Home squadron. From the Somers ho was orlfcred, In 1847, to the sloop-of-war Treble, fitting out for the Puclllc, but was transferred from her to the steam frigate Mississippi, Commander Alexander Siidell Mackenzie, in tho Gulf of Mexico, In 1848.

During that year ho was on I "red on duty at the Washington atory, and remained thereuntil 1850. In hi: position there he displayed high scientific ability and rare attainments, and to' his genius we aro indebted greatly for the ocean charts which the degenerate Maury gathered laurels from, as ho was chief of the observatory. The ability he displayed there and his skill and courage induced the department to select him as the most suitable officer to command the Orinnell expcdlton in search of Franklin. Although not succosstul in the main object Bought for, tho expedition was of great value to science.
