He depreciated the erection of defences, which could only have the effect of inviting Americans to make Canada a battle ground. The policy of tbe fortifications was unquestioned by severalspeakers, but the duty of the British Government to defend Canada was generally conceded. Ministers opposed the reception of the papers.

The pending conference with a delegation appointed by the Canadian Government to confer with the Imperial Government are expected in England. Finally the motion was withdrawn on the following day. Lord Eloho asked as to the approaching conference with the Canadian deputation. Lord Cardwell said four members of the Canadian Council wero expected to confer with the Government.

It is also reported here that JefT. Davis and family had joined Johnson at Hillsboro, which is about thirty miles west of Raleigh.

Supplies for General Sherman's army are centered near Roanoke Island and vessels lying at anchor there, awaiting or ders for bis cniei commissary. GREAT UNION VICTORY IN CHICAGO. CHICAGO, April 18.

Upon searching his pockets they found a comb, hair and tooth brush and a'pot of pomatum pair of pistol cartridges, pocket compass and twenty-five dollars in greenbacks.

The Herald's Washington special says, at the last 'Cabinet meeting which Mr. Lincoln attended, on Friday, at which General Grant was present, he turned to the General, and asked him if he heard from Sherman.

General Grant replied that he had not, but was in hourly expectation of receiving dispatches from him announcing the surrender of Johnston. MWell," said the President, "you will hear very soon now, and the news will be "Why do you think said the Gen eral. "Because," said Mr. Lincoln, "I had a dream last night, and ever since the war began have invariably had the same dream before any very important military event has oceured." He then instanced Bull Run, Antietam, Gettysburg, and said that before each ot these events he had some dream, and turning to Secretary Welles, said it is in your line too, Mr. Welles.

The dream is that I saw a ship sailing very rapidly, and I am sure that it portended some, import ant national event. THE ADDRESS OF HENRY WARD BEECHER. At the Raising of the Stars and Stripes Over Fort Sumter, by Major General Anderson, April 14, 1865. of a to of of By the arrival of the at New York from Charleston, we have particulars of the celebration ot the raising of the "Old Flag," on the ruins of Sumter by its former defender, General Anderson. The ceremony was witnessed within the walls oi the Fort by about 5000 citizens, including 500 Cbarlestonians, and a large number of colored people.

The whole affair is represented to have been very grand and imposing. We give below Mr. Beecher oration On this solemn and joyful day wa again lift to the breeze our fathers' flag, now again the banner of the United States, with the forvent prayer tnat uoa would crown it with nonor, protect 11 irom treason, and send it down to our children with all tbe blessings of civilization, liberty and religion. TemDi in battle, may it De glorious in peace. Happily no bird or beast ot prey has been inscribed upon it.

The stars that redeem the night from darkness, and the beams of red light that beau tify tbe moming, have been unfolded. As long as tbe sun end urea, or tne stars, may 11 wave over a nation neither enslaved nor enslaving. Great applause Once, and but once, has treason dishonored it In that insane hour, whea the guiltiest and bloodiest reoeiuon 01 time nuneu mmi fires upon the fort, you, sir, turning to General Anderson and a small heroic band stood within these now crumbled walls, and did gallant and just battle for the honor and defense 01 the nation nan ner. rAonIause.1 On that cope tf fire this glorious fisg still peacefully waved to the breeze above your head, unconsious of harm at the stars and skies above it. Once it was shot down agtlland hand, in whose care this day it has been, plucked it from tbe ground and reared it.again, cast down, but not destroyed.

After a vain resistance, with trembling hand and sad heart, you withdrew it from its height, closed its wings and bore it tar awy, sternly to sleep amid tbe tumults of rebellion and the thunders of battle. The first act of war had begun. Tbe long night of four years had set in. While the giddy traitors whirled in a maze ot exhileratioD, dim horrors were already advancing, that were ere long to fill the land with blood. To day you aro returned again we devou'ly join with you ia thanks giving to Almighty uoa mat ne nas spared vour honored life, and vouchsafed you the honors of this y.

Tbe heavens over you are the same; these are the same shores, Morning ccmes ana evening as tney aio. All else how changed!

You that then for the day were humbled, are here again to triumph once and forever. Ap- Disuse. 1 in the storms ot tnat aseatua tuia glorious ensign was often struck, but it is memorable fact not one of its start wss torn out by shot or shell. Applause. It was a prophecy.

It said, not one State shall be struck from this nation by treason. The fulfillment is at hand. Luted to tne air to-oay it proclaims, sum four years of war, not a state it blotted out. fADPlause 1 Hail to the flag of our fath ers and our flag glory to the banner that has gone through four years, black with tempests of war, to pilot the nation back to Tieace without dismemberment; and tflorv to God. who.

The world was amazed and the earth reeled.

When the flag rank here, it was as if political night had come, and all beasts of fury, had come forth to devour. That Ion night is ended, and for this returning day we have come from afar to rejoice and give thanks. No more war, no more accursed secession, no more slavery that spawned them both. Let no man misread the meaning of this unfolding flag. It says government hath returned hither it proclaims, in the name of vindicated government, peacs and protection to loyalty, humiliation and pains to traitors.

TOis is tbe nag 01 sovereignty. ine nation, not the State, is sovereign restored to authority. This flag commands not supplicates. There may be pardon but no concession, Great applause. 1 There may be amnesty and oblivion, but no honied compromises.

Applause. The nation to-day was peace for the peaceful, and war for the turbulent. Applause. The only condition of submission is to submit. There is the constitution, there are the lawj, there is the government.

They rise up like mountains of strength that shall not be They are the conditions of peace. One nation under one government, without slavery, has been ordained and snail stand. There can be peace on no other basis. On this basis reconstruction is evsy, and needs neither architect nor engineer. Without this basis no engineer or architect shall ever re construct these rebellious States.

All that we ask is unswerving loyalty and universal liberty, and that in the name of this bigh sovereignty of the United States of America we demand, and that, with the blessing of Almighty God, we will have. Applause. We raise our rathers banner that it may bring back better blessings than those of old, that it may oust ont the devu of discoid that it may restore law- lul government ana a prosperity purer and more enduring than that which protected it before; tnit it may win parted friends from their alienation that it may inspire hope and inaugurate universal lib erty tnat it may say to tba sword, return to thy sheath, and to the plow and sickle, go forth that it may heal all jealousies.

unite all politics, inspire a new national life. comDact our strength, nurifv our nrin- ciples, ennoble our national ambitions, and make this people greit and strong aggression and quarrelsomeness, but for the peace of the warld, giving to us the glorious prerogative of leading all nations to iuster laws, to; more humane pontics, to sincere friendship, to rational instituted civil lib erty, and to universal Christian brotherhood. Reverently, nkraslv. in hopeful patriotism, we spread this banner on the sky, as of old the bow was planted on the cloud, ana with a solemn lervor beseech God to look upon it' and make it the me morial of an everlasting covenant, and de cree tbat never again on this fair land shall a deluge of blood prevail. Applause.

VVny need any eye turn Irom tins spec tacle? Are there not associations which, overleaping the recent past, carry as back te times when over North and South the fiag was honored alike by all In all our colonial days we were one in the long re volutionary struggle, and in the scores of prosperous years succeeding. When the passage of the 8tamp Act, in 1765, aroused the colonies, it was uaaaen, or ooutn Carolina, that cried with prescient enthu siasm, We stand on the broad common ground of those natural rights that we all I rr, i. i vA letii ttuu auuw as tuuu. a unro uugua in no New England man, no New Yorker known on this continent, but all of us, be, Americans.

rApplause.1 There is scarcely a man born in the South who has lifted his hand against the banner but had a father who would have died for it. Is memory dead 7 Is there no historic pride Hat a fatal i nirv atruca Dimuaetsa ur unto tutu even tuna uaod to look kinaiy towara eacn other, toat reaa us same niuie, uiat, xtung over win I name historic pages of our national glory, that studied the same constitution?

It was never Darore to I wholly unspotted, so clear oi all wrong, so purely and simply the sign of justice and 1 liberty, uia say we orougnt oaca me same banner that you bore away, noble and haroic Sir It is not the same it is 1 more ana Detter man it was. The land is free from slavery since that banner fell. When God would prepare Moses for emancipation, he overthrew his first steps, and drove him for forty years to brood in the wilderness.

When our flag came down, four years it lay brooding in darkness it cried to the Lord, wherefore am I deposed 7 Then rose before it a vision of its sin. It had strengthened the strong and forgotten the weak. It pro claimed liberty, but trod upon slaves, in that seclusion it dedicatee itself to liberty, Behold, to-day it fulfils its tows. When it went dewn, lour millions of people had not a fisg; to-day it rises, and four miliior people cry out, behold our flag; hark, they murmur, it it the gospel to the poor, it heals our broken hearts, it preaches deliverance to captives, it gives sight to tbe blind, it sets at liberty them that were bruised, l.ise up, then, glorious gospel banner, and roll out those message ot God. Tell the air tbat not a spot now suiuet tny whiteness, thy red is not the blush of shame, bat the flush of joy.

Things as they were? Who has an omnipotent hand, to restore a million dead, slain in battle, or wasted by sickness, or dying of grief, broken-hearted 7 Who has omnipresence to search for the scattered ones Who shall restore the lost to broken families? Who shall bring back the squandered treasure, tha rears ot industry wasted, and convince) yon that four years of guilty rebellion and cruel war are no more than dirt upon tha hand, which a moment's washing removes, and leaves the hand clean as before? Such a -war reaches down to the very vitals of society. Emerging from such a proiongea re- beliion, he is blind who tells yoc that the State, by a mere amnesty and benevolence of government can be put again by a mere aecree in its 01a place, wouiu uua vo bonest it would not be kind or fraternal for me to pretend that Southern revolution against the Union has not reached and wrought revolution in the Southern; States themselves, and inaugurated a newt dispensation.

"We tbe people of the United Stater, in order to form a more perfect union and establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, remote the general well are and secure the blessmgs of liberty to ourselves ana our posterity, do ordain this Constitution for a. ,) a uie limsea ousmsb vi auwrK. Again, in the awful convention of war, the peo ple of the United state lor the very ends lust recited, have debated, settled and or, I- 1 anxneu wruuii iuuunuuuuu sjuvud must henceforth be accepted and obeyed; not is any State or any individual wise ho shall disregard tbem. iney are to civil affairs what the natural laws are to health indispensible conditions of peacej and happiness. What are the ordnances given by tne people, epeaarag out 01 urn and darkness of war, with authority inspired by the same God who gave the law from Sinai amid thunders of trumpet voices: 1.

That these United States shall be one and invisible 2. that States are not absolute sovereigns, and have no right to dis member the republic: 3. universal liber ty it indispensable to republican government, and that slavery shall be utterly and forever abolishel. Sucn arc the results of war: these are the best fruits of the war. They are worth all they have cost They are the foundations of peace.

They will secure benefits to all nations as well as to ns. Our highest wisdom and duty is to accept the facts as the decree of God. We are exhorted to forget all that has happened. Yes, the overruling decree of God which this war has pronounced as solemnly as on Mount Sinai, God rays: "Remember' remember, hear it to-day, under thi sun, under that bright child of the Sum mer banner, witn tne eyes 01 tnis nation and of the world upon us. We repeat tba syllable of God's providence, and recite the solemn decrees No more duunionno more accession no more slavery.

Ap plause Why did the civil war begin We do not wonder that European statesmen failed to comprehend this conflict, and foreign philaHthrophists were shocked at a murderous war tnat seemea to nava uj moral origin, but like the brutal fight of beaits of prey, to have sprung from feroci ous animalism.
