Ufllac ril W-LSTONx. u. Speech or President TYasuington, May 4. -To-day the comiuittcc, of which Hon. Simoon Cameron wa chairman, appointed nt a meeting held at Iarrisburg, last Thursday evening, to' present the resolutions adopted at hat President Johnson, had an audience yith Mr, Johnson o.r that purpose.

The committee were accompanied, by Hon. Stevens and other prominent Ponnjsylvaniaus. In presenting the resolutions Mr. Cameron said: MU. SIMEON CAMERON'S ADDRESS.

Mr I havo only one word to say. A largo number of people, members of Union, and Republican party, met at Harrisburg last Thursday, and appointed this committee to come and pay their respects to ycui. Wo havo nothing to desire bit the property of your administration, a.nd nave ampjo ojonrylerice in your ability a confidenco derived from past history. Your firsj great task is to close up the and we take it for granted Ihatyou will not only act wisely, but justly. If men who brought on this war shall meet the full reward of their guilt, whilo we believe tho more deluded insti ll ments, o.ught to be suffered to, go, ajojig their wonted way, and do the.

they can. I havo no faith permitting those, vvho brought on, tho war to live in the, same way they did before the war commenced and hope that you will find some way to takicare of thcro, and to sjavo and reunite tho There aro none hero. who. haye come from any desire for pjace for themselves or their relations, simply from a wish to express their confidence aud do-sire that you will bring tho country out of this trouble and tlvat- tho cause of slavarv shall ho ended ere oven this is brought about. THE PKUSIDEXl'St REPLY, Mu.

Ciiairmax and Gentlemen 'I can only reply in general terms pre-haps as good a reply I can make would be to reu.r to or rep.ca.t what I have already said to other delegations who have come for tho purpose of en couragmgor inspiring me wuic.onn,-dence on entering upon tho dischargee of duties so responsible so All that I could now say would be but a reiteration of sentiments already in dicated. The words you havo spoken are most fully and cordially accepted and responded to by me. too, think the time has arrived when the people of this nation should understand that treason is a crime. When we turn to the cateloguo of cntiio we find that most of those containincd in it aro un-. dcrstood, but- the crime of treason has neither been generally understood nor generally appreciated, as I think it should be.

And there has been an effect since the rebellion comaienced to make tho impression that it was a mere political struggle or as I see it thrown out in some of the papers, a struggle, for ascendency' of certain principles from the dawn of tho Government to the present time, and now settled by the final triumph of the Federal arms. If this to be a determined, settled idea and opinion, the government is at an end, for no question can arise but tjhey will niako it a party s.ue, and then to, whatever length they carry the party defeated will be only a party an i no crime attached thereto. Rut, I say treason is a cringe the highest crime known to the law and the people ought to understand it, and bo taught to know that unless it be so considered there can be no government. I do not say this to indicate a revengeful or improper spirit. It is simply the enunciation of deliberate consideration and temperate judgment.

There are men who ought to suffer tho penalties of their treason; but there are also some who have been engaged in this tq-bellion who, wlrile, technically speaking, are gnilty of treason, yet are morally noL Thousands who have been drawn into it, involved by variou influences by conscription, by dread, by force of public opinion in the localities in which they lived these arc not so responsible as those who led, deceived and forced them. To the unconcious, deceived, conscripted in short, to the great mass of the mjsled I would say mercy, clemency, reconciliation', and tho 'restoration their" Government. To those who have deceived to the concious, influential traitor, who. attempted tp desti oy the Ufo. of a nation, I say "Qn you be inflicted tho severe penalties of yourc.

ime." Applause. I fully understand how easy it is to get up an impression in regard to tho exercise of mercy and if I know myself and my own heart, there ii in it a great a dls position to mercy as can bo manifested pn the part of any other indiviiud. Rut mercy without justiqo is a ci phe. In tho exerciso qf mercy there should be deliberate consideration, and a pro- found understanding of the ease and I am not prepared to say but what it, Should be, often, transferred to a higher court acQurt where mercy and justice can be united. A great monopoly tho remark of your Chairman bring me to it existed, that of slavery and upon it rested an aristocracy.

It is the work of freemen put down monopolies. You havo loeu the attempt made by the monopoly of slavery to put down tho government. Rut in the making of that attempt, thereby to control and destroy the government, you, have seen tho government put down tho monopoly and destroy the instituton. Applanse. Institutions of any kind must be subordinate to the govcanment, or tho government cannot stand, I do not care whether it be Tforth or South A government upon popular judgement must be paramount to all institutions that spring up under that govern-mentj nd if, when they, attempt to control the government, the government does hot put them down, they will put it down.

Ileiico ho main portion my efforts havo been devoted to tho opposition of them. Hence, I have ever opposed aristocracy opposed it in any shape. But there is a kind of aristocracy that always, has, that always will, command my rcpct and approbation the aristocracy of talent, tho aristocracy of virtue, the aristocaacy of merit, or an aristocracy resting upon worth, the aristocracy of labor, resting upon honest industry, developing the industrial, resources of tho country this commands my respect and admiration -my support in regard to my future course in connection with this rebellion, nothing that I can say would be worth listening If my past is not sufficient guarauty, I can only add that I have never knowingly deceived tho people, and havo never betrayed a friend Applause. and, God willing, never will. Applause.

Accept my profound, and sincere for the encouragement you, have given me, ajid bclievo rao Ahen I say that your encouragement, countenance and confidence, aro a great aid and a great spur to tho ivcrformanco of my duties. On co more I thank you for this mani festation of your regard anc respect. Incident of the Catties Around Petersburg. SnERIDAN's GALLANTRY. Sheridan is represented by those present as being tho inpersonation of everything soldierly.

Re rode up and down the lines under fire, continually encouraging his men by waving his sword, commanding in person, exhor ting them to seize the opportunity within their grasp, and sweep their en emies to destruction. "Take your men in" "Mako your men fight 'Push on your column" "Go in, boys, go in" "llal'the dammed rascals are run ning" "The cowardly scoundrels can't fight such brave fellows as mine" that iammed skulker" "Shoot every man down like a dog that offers to sulk," wfere yelled in thunder tones, as he dashed along, where the fro wa.s hottest and the result most uncertain. His presence wsu a consuming firo to the rebels, and a tower of strength to our men. Probably no living soldier is so terrible in battlo as Sheridan. With the first smell of powder he becomes a brilliant, blazing meteor, and a pillar of firo to hyi.

own hosts. The small, unpretending man, when in repose, risen to, the sublimity of heroism in action, and infuses a liko spirit in all who arc under him. THREE PRIVATES CAPTURE FIFTEEN REBEL CAVALRY. Wm. II.

Strever, Achlnud; McCron-ey and Walter Cronkite, privates of M-aior S.aekUn's ICth Michigan sharp: shooters, this morning captured fifteen rebel, cavalrymen ft captain, sergeant ami thirteen privates. Pursuing their vocations as skirmishers on our front they saw theso cavalrymen moving olona and cautiously advanced to meet them. "Halt and called out Strever "Surrender to, inquisitively responded Captain Clements, leader of the rebel horseman. "You arc in tho rear of our battlo lino, and it is surrender or speedy death to you," replied Strever. The.captaiu surrendered, gave up his sword, carbine and revolver, and told his men to follow his cxsL'ipIe, which they of course did.

The three cantors marched their prisoners to corps headquarters. Very chagrined Captain Clements and his men to find that they had been tho victims of a sharp Yaukee trick but their chagrin camo too late. Tho men belonged to tho Sixteenth North Carolina cavalry reg-raent A STAFF OFFICER XEAltLY CAT.TURF.D. Rrevet Major Gentry, Comtn'issary of Musters on general Warren's staff- had a narrow escape from capture. Ho had been sent to arrange tho picket line.

In the darkness ho stumbled upon one of the enemy's videttes. "Who comes thar called tho vidcttc, his mode, of pronouncing tho last word revealing at once Us south of Mason Jc Dixon's line, and the probability that, ho was then yorkhig in tho interest of the Southern Confederacy. "Hush, your noise," respondod tho Major, with sharp didacl'io uUerance "I am on the track of two cqrse Yanks, and will sqon have them prisoners if you keep shut your mouth, or' otherwise they will get shut of me." The4Major's selfpossession and sharpness served him against a Southern sojourn, for which he had no strong liking. ENGLISH OFFICERS EElNG THE FIGnT, The English officers on the field yesterday during tho figlt were Major Smythe, Royal Artillery; Cant. Talbot, of tho Ljght Guard, and Lieutenant Abercroibie, of a Canada regiment.

It was noticed that they took a birds-eye view of the contest, which certainly is complimentary to their judgment a non-combatants, and another thig showing like good judgement were their compliments to. the, coolness and courage of our officers and in battle. AN INCIDENT. In tho first advance of the Captain Nichols, ot tho one hundred New York Volunteeas, wai taken prisoner, and almost in a minute deprived of his 1 sword and valuables. A tall Mississippian took charge of him guarding him with the revolver he had just taken from him.

When the rebels commenced to fly, the guard enJevqred tq forco the Captain along1, but the latter suddenly seized the revolver and pointed it hi who turned to fly, but was brought down by a bullet, and is now in a field hospital. Tho Captain returned triumphantly to his regiment, although destituro of eycry thing except his revolver. 1 i Reports from Richmond say all the cjlver plate taken from Richmond in the latt hours of the Confedercy has been captured by our forqos. near Farmville. Rumor also says Maj.

Thos. P. Turner, the scoundrel who commanded Libby Prison, vmder the rebel regime, has been captured. The rebel General Rosser, was cap lured, on the 28th, in Hanover where his wife resides The exodus of the rebellion leaders from Richmond, and the introduction of greenbacks, brought own eggs from 25 to 30 Cents dozen, and other things in" liko proportion. The change of basb on the part of the Confederate government gave the people something on which to' base their change, Further by the Hibernian The Loudon Times of the 27th says: "This evening it may be expected the Ieadei the great parties in ho House of Commons will take the opportunity ot expressing, in the name of the nation, tho horror which is felt every where at the crime, and of assuring tho American people that whatever difference of opinion may exist in this country as to the present war, there is but one feeling of sympathy with them at the loss or an honest and high minded magstrajo.

Tho London and provincial journals alike describe tho intense excitement which the news created, and all united in warm eulogiums upon Mr. Lincoln and btcr denimciationa. of thp assassination. The Paris and continental Journals also contain articles on the subject. Tho scene on 'change at Liverpool will not soon be forgotten.

The excit-ment has rarely, if ever been exceeded. Late in the day a request was sent to the Mayor to call a public meeting to express the. aorrow and indignation of tho people. Hundreds, signed it, and tho Mayor issued a proclamation for meeting at St. Georges Hall on tho P.

M. of the 27th, to be adjourned to the evening of tho same day that tho, working classes might likewise have an opportunity of attending. The flags on the Town Hall and other buildings and on the shipping at Liverpool were. displayed at half mast. All tho American resident in London, the Union and Emancipation Societies, and the people of Manchester and Rir-mingham were to m''Ct on the 27th to express their sentiments.

The Liverpool Post of tho 27th is printed with its columns in mourning. The Times says "Nothing in political history can bo remembered that has ever drawn forth a more unanimous feeling than this news. Personally, President LAncoln enjoyed Vhe kind regards of every one in England. The extent to which his influence was estimated in upholding amicable relations between England and the United States, has been 6hown by a fall of unusual severity in all classes of securities." Tho Times editorial says The news will be received throughout Europe with a sorrow rls sincere and profound as it was even in the United States Mr. Lincoln's perfect honesty was so apparent that Englishmen learnsd to respect him.

Unjust as we believe it to be, the Confederate cause will not escape the dishonor cast upon it by these wantoii nxurcrs." Tho Daily News says that Mr. Lincoln has not fallen in tha flush of triumph, fox thought of triumph was in that honest and humble heart, but his task was accomplihed and the battle of hisjifo was. won and, in all time to come, among all think of manhood more than rank, tho namo of Abraham Lincoln will be held in reverence and love. The New3 continues: We will not without further and overwhelming proof lay tho charge of this horrible conspiracy to the leaders abettors of the South. Tho Star pays ft warm tribute to Mr.

Lincoln, and eulogizes his stea'dfast policy of peace in npite of all provoca tions towards England. It also expresses great confidence that the North, even in its hour of just indignation, Mill bear itself with that magnanimous clem- rency whjch thus far lias attended its triumph. The Daily says vulgar corruption, from factious hatred, from, meanest jealousies and uncharita-bleness this great ruler was wholly free. At last camo what seemed tp be the fiuhion of his the reward of his atiencc and llo entered tichmond as, a conqueror but he launched nq. decree of proscription against the South, for the fight appeared to him to be over, aud was, not in his largo heart to bear malice against" a beaten foe" Much uneasiness was evinced in re- to the assassination of President Lincoln, from the(.

fact that Andrew Johnson would take his place: and un- vomauio ucuucuoiis werfl uracil irom his conduct at the inauguration at Washington and also from the tenor of his virions speeches The London Times suggests that Mr. Johnson should resign voluntarily, or in case of his failing to do, that public opinion should bo so expressed in regard to him as to lead him to resjgh. The News savsi "It has made care-. ful enquiries and is assured on reliable authority that the incident so regretted which occurred at his installment as Yico cannot without injustice bo taken to 'represent Mr Johnson's character, as theso who know him will describe him as a man, of real capacity and temperate habits. The News also says: MVe must 'wait a while before we pass judgment upon him.1' The faliure of Messrs.

Mr, IJiicoJiVa Lnat Iuaugrala On Saturday, March 4, 1865, Abraham Lincoln, re-elected by tho' people in the previous 1 November, took the oath of Office for the second time, to support the Constitution and laws of his country, it being the first time for the past thirty-two years, that such an honor as a ro-ipauguration had been bestowed upon a citizen. Tho weather at Washington, in the morning, was far from being propitious, and the procession was to have escorted the President elect from tho Mansion to the was formed in a pouring rain. noon the weather was bright and beautiful; a procession was formed in the Senato Chamber, and the Presi dent elect was escorted to a staging erectea at thaeastern portico, where the oath of office was administered to him by Chief-Justice Chase, and tho President delivered tho following 1 "Fellow-Countrymen: At this sec ond appearing to take the oath of the Presidential office, there is less occa sion for an extended address than there was at the first. Then a statement somewhat in detail of a course to be pursued seemed to fitting and prop er. Now, at the expiration of four years, during which public declarations have constantly been called forth on every point and phase of she great con test, which still absorbs the attention and engrosses the energies of the na tion, little that is new could bo present ed.

"The progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends, is as well known to the public as to myselt, and it is, I trust, reasonably satisfacto ry and ciicoiirasinj: to all. With high hope for tho future, no prediction in recrard to it. is ventured. On the occa sion conresponding to this four years ago, aU thoughts were anxiously direct ed to an impending civil war. All dreaded it: all sought to avoid it.

While tho inaugural was beicg deliver ed from this placf devoted to saving the Union without war, insurgent agents were in tho city seeking to destroy it without war seeking to dissolve the Union and divide the effects by negotiation. 1 "Roth parties deprecated the war, but one of them would make war rath er than let the nation survive, and the other ould accept war rather than let it perish, and the war came. "One eight of the whole population were colored ilavesj not distributed generally over the Unicm, hut located in the "Southern part of it Those slaves constituted a peculiar and "powerful interest All knew that this interest wis sornehow, the cause of tho war. To strengthen', perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which she insurgents would rend tho Union by war, whilo the Government claimed no riht to do more than restrict the territorial enlargement of it. Neither party expected the magnitude or the duration whicl it has already attained, Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease, even before the conflict itself should cease.

Each looked for an easier triumph and a result fundamental and astounding. Roth read tho same Riblo and pray to the same God, and each invokes hia nirl irainst. t.bfi Other. It maV SOOlU straue that any, man should dare to ask ajiist God's assistance in wnnging his bread frpin the sweat of other men's fhcis; but let us judge not, that we bo not judged. "Tho of both could Dot b6 answered.

That of neither has been fully answered. Tho Almighty has his own purposes. "Woo unto the world because offences, for I it must needs be that offences comcth." If wc shall suppose that American lelayery is one of the offences, Vhich the pro.vidence of God must needs come, but whijh, having through His aj.po'mtcd time, Re now -wills to remove, and that He giv es to, both North' and South this terrible war as the woo duo to those by whom the ofience came, shall we tViscxn'ntlro- 111 any departure from those Divine, attributes which the believer in. a God alwuvi? ascribe to him? "Fondly do wo hope, -fervently do wc pray that this mighty scourge of war may pass away. Yet.

if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn by the lash shall be paid by another drawn by the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, 60 still it must be said, that tho judgments of the are true and righteous altogether. "With malice, toward none with charity, for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives, us to see the right, let us strive on to fiiiih tho work we are to bind up the nation's to care for him shall have borne, the and for his widow and his' orphans, to do all which, may. achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations." 5Ir. Unooln'a Farewell to his Home. On leaving home in Sp'rinfield, Illinois in February 1801 to go to Washington Mr, Lincoln 'was aqcom- 'panied tq the" depot by a large concourse Of his friends' and neighbors.

As the was about to' leave, said: 1 11 "My Friends io, not 0110 .111 my osition can appreciate the sadness I t' P.3rting- Peol'l we all that'f cm.

I feel that I cannot succeed without the same Divine' aid which sustained him, and on the saino Almighty place my reliance for snrpport, and i hopo yon, my friends, will all pray that I may receive that Divine nssit.ince, without1 which' I cannot sue'deed, but with which success is I bid you all an affectionate farewell." 1 THE SILT AN A MSASTL'H.

This would leave the loss of lifo about 1 persons. It is probable that a number of other persons will be fouud to have escaped death by this explosion. -i -i 1 One of the rescued from ttb Sultana disaster states that tho soldiejs on board of her were from every State in the Union. Many of them had been two or years in Southern prisons, where from 24, to, March 2GX 1835, were 13,504 deaths from ill usage and starvation. '1 Among tho lost is Mr.

Overton Hospital received aV-cut fifty patients from the ill-fated 6tcamer; the greater part of them suffering from severe and burns. One man had his head, face, and body, almost denuded of cuticle from steam. Another was suffering from c.ontvnss.on of, tho brain, as well as being badly scalded and burned.

Many were badly contused, and a few-were cut and lacerated from being hit with fragments of the wreck. All were more or less injured from their long immersion in tho cold water, and only saved by tho prompt and judicious medical attention given them. A TLUCnY "MICHIGAN SERGEANT.
