WINNSBORO. 8ATURDAY MORNING, MAY 20, 18'5. We have received a copy of the' New 'Ydrk Herald of tho'1otlh inst., sent us from Charlotte, N. 0., by .our father, -Mr. E. H. BRITTON. Those of our friends who may wish to read the paper can do so by. visiting our office. Hagood's Brigade. We have been favored with the pe V usal of a letter from Capt. J. J. LoGAN, 25th Regiment, Hagoods Brigade, which announces the safety of the following - named officers of this brigade. Some -of these have been supposed to be killed up to this time: At Fort Columbus are Capt. Carson and Licut. Lesesne, and at Fort Dela. ware are Col. Simonton, Capts. Logan, Mazyck, Hanahan and - Bartless, and - Lieuts. China and Dibble. Prom North Carolina. The Raleigh Progress of the 2d inst. announces that it is new known in that city to be the settled policy of President JOHNsoN to entirely ignore Governor VANOIC and the present Legislature of that State,'(North Carolina.) The Charlotte Democrat of the 160th inst., gives us tile following: "Capt. Haight, of 1st Div., 23d army corps, is the Provost Marshall at this post, and. is authorized to attend to pa rolling all men who belonged to the late Confederate armies.- His office is the corner store, Mansion Hguse building. We are assured that the troops now here are for the purpose of protecting property and preserving order, and. so far as we know, all the officers are exer ting themselves to this end." Mosby to his Troops. Just before running away, the Rich. mond Whig says, the guerrilla leader Mosby issued the following address t( his troops: "FAUQUIER, April 21, 1865. "Soldiers: I have s.ummoned yot dogether for the last time. The visior %w6 have cherished for a free and inde pubnent country has vanished, and thal c ry is, now the spoil of a conqueror, I .and your.organization in preferenct to su rendering to our enemies. I an no longer your commander. After ar association of more than two eventful years, I part from you with a just pridt -in the fame of your achievements ani grateful recollections of generous kindiesf to myself; and now at this moment o -bidding you a final adieu, accept the as surance of my unchanging confidenc .and regard. Farewell. "J. S. Mosny, "Colonel commanding Battalion." Datte from St. Louis to the 2d May say that on the -23d of April negotia -tions were progressing near Red Rivei for the surrender of Gen. KIRBY SMITH'S forces to the United States authorities, .and terminatig tie ar west of. the Mississippi river. New Orleans dates of the 25th state that Gen. DICK TAYLOn was engaged .at that time in negotiating for the aur. r ender of his army to the United.States forces.' *The New York Herald states thc registered debt of the United States tc be about twcnty-five hundred millionm of ddllars. The amount of Treasury issues (greenibacks) in circulation is puti ig~wn at nearly six hundred and eighty three and a half millions, oides tlic 'ational bank notes in circulation; eati. mated at more than a hu. Irod and 'twenty millions. . A Wash'mgion correspondent says: * "It may be stated as ae positive fact that for the prdserit, with the exception'of the Secretary of thme Intei-ior, there wihl be no changb'whmatevet in the Cabinet.'

Sobd Advice. The follonug we copy from the Char lotte Pemora. It is not only'applica. lo to that latitude, but this. We en doise what the Democrat says, 'and hope the 'dea will be impressed upon the mind of all the people of South Carolina: CATAWBA COUNTY, N. C, May 9. Mr. Yates, Editor of the Democrat: As we have no mail facilities, we know but little of what is going on, and we 4re not aware exactly ,f what is required of the people of thiL,. Ate. Can you give us information ? W. Sudh official orders as we have been able to procure, we publish for public information. * We gave our views in our last issue as to the proper course for our people to pursue under the circumstances. We care not to reprint that article or to write any more on the subject. But we will simply repeat, that inasmuch as all armed disciplined opposition to the United States has :eased in North Carolina, (and we believe in all other portions of the country,) it is our duty to conduct ourselves as peaceablo citi zens, observing the laws and regulations of those having power over us, and ex erting ourselves to preserve order and rostore prosperity. Our armies have. been disbanded, and further resistance would be useless and vain. We. are unalterably opposed to anything like guerrilla warfare or bushwhacking. To our returned soldierd we would say that the best thing they can-do is to go quiet ly to their homes and resume work on their farms and in their workshops. In a word, we are all virtually prison ers of war, and it becomes us "to take due notice thereof, and govern ourselves accordingly." Four thousand of the paroled men recently belonging to LEE's army left Fortress Monroe on last Satufday for their various homes in and around Sa vannah. Mobile and New Orleans, for which cities they were furnished free transportation on board United States steamers. The News. The following summary of news we take from the Richmond Wrhiq, of the 9th and 10th inst. It will be found in. teresting : IMPOnTANT FROM MonsLE-Mov-. MENT To SELMA, ECT.-The latest intel. ligence from Mobile represents that all the troops which invested that city, ex cept those of General Granger's com mand, left Mobile on the 14th uilt. with tweity days' rations, for an expedition up the Alabama river. The expedition is accompanied.by soine of our best gun boats, and it is supposed that it would reach Selina before the 25th ult. The greatest- efforts possible were be. ing made to capture the Rebel troops who evacuated Mobile, and General Wilson was bxpected to' make short work of Forrest. We may look for start ling news from that dire tion in a short time. The Meridian (Miss.) Clarion of th0 20th uit., says that General Maury, wh% commanded at Mobile, has established his headquartert. at Meridian. All the offi cers and men in Alabama and Mssis sippi, belonging to the commands in North Carolhna and Virginia, are. order-* ed to report to General Mainry imme diately. The Mobile .Netos of the 27th learis that the rebel rams .Nashville and Mor-, gan, and five steamers, were at Deomop olis, but no troops were there except Mayberry's guerrillas, which were be Itween Mobile and Domopolis. The do moralization in the rebel army and navy, in that region, was very groat. THE MoNnoE DoorsrE--The Phil adelphia .Prss .intim~ates that guite a number of snen are organizing i that city for 6mriovement upon MexIpo, It is said, though vaguely, that the object 'ofth patyis to -maintain the talidity of te Moroedoctrine. In other Words, they propose to support theo;Beptiblicans faction in Mezico in opposition totp Imperialists. It is also runterod that vessels are to be sitted ogt in Baltimiore for operating ins the Qut Of MexIeo, or elsewhere, and that seventy^ i6i, Who have already seen naval service and who are to be0 ebmmanded by ans oficeer who is himself tynly loyal, hsav4 already been en e oform apart ofite allegd ox:. on XWORLEANS-TB3EAQD 3N Wrs rssaarrr.-Our ate adices from New Orjsans are to~ the2 9t 'ult. )*la river was then still The Mes through~ the levees aiz ~j6abo~e 4lgiorp had been, repaired.

Fnox DAXVILLIC.-A letter in the I/erald, from Danville, dated 2d inst, says that trains will soon be tunning regularly to Greensboro.' Affairs in Danville are progressing very satisfac torily, and the orders issued by Major. General Wright, in relation to passes and other local matter6, have given universal satisfaction. - There is every probability that this town will in a short time bec'ome a very thriving little place. LATER FROM EURQP.-A telegram from Point au Basque, dated- Saturday evening, announces the arrival off that Poifit of the steamship Jibernian, from Liverpool, with five days later news, but before the advices could be transmitted the wires wore broken at Port Hood. The folleving was all that was received: 'The L mdon corn market was short of supplies, n there was a better business doing in English foreign wheat at an advance i prices.

Confedorate officers or soldiers v1o go to loyal States without proper uthority, do so at their own peri. GEXE A, Pitow OFEnS TO TAKE TrN~ A B avprv n.A rigadiAr Gen. eral Gid on J. Pillow, of Teunessee, is said to have requested permission to return t his lione at Columbia, and offers to take ihe amnesty oath and give bonds fo his future good conduct. Gen eral Pill v has, or had, a large plantation near Conmbia, and was joint owner with .hi sister, Mrs. Governor Aaron V. Brown, in a still more extensive one near Helena,'Arkansas. He has lost over sev.n hundred slaves by the failure ol the rebellion. PRxSIDENT JoHNSoN is lectured by the Jewish Record for fixing the 1st of Juno as the day of humiliation and mourning, for the assassination of the late President Lincoln. The selection of that day, the editor says, -is quite as mal apropos as his previous selection of Ascension Day, a high festival in the Christian Church;-inasmuch as the dst ofJine happens to be the Jewish Festival of Shervutous. RicruuEDi.-A number of the paroled Marylanders who went home, to Bal timore, from Richmond, after the sur render of Gen. Lee's army, have returned to Richmond. They were arrested in Bal tiniore and committed tojail, and obtgiined their release only upon condition pf re turnihg South. MonusnwARInn FoR yEn,.

From the Pfew fokk liald, of May. 10, w -extract the anneXed itoins: By way sfIpana we have papers from Houstoatid Galveiton to the 25th tit. A grand nieeting was held at Houston on the 22d, and anotler at Springfield; and with considerable on thusiasm it was decided to continue the rebellion, although they had the new's of the fall of Richmond and'the capitula. tion of Lee. They declared the Trans Mississippi Department to be suoiciently vast and fuill of resources to repel- the invasion, and insure its independence, and to sustain Jeff. Davis. There were some who thought otherwise, and Brig. adier General Rawes, who commanded Galveston. sent in his resignation, and was replaced by Colonel Ashbel Smith. General Magruder was at Galveston, where he reviewed the troops. A Federal attack on the coast of Texas was momentarily expected. The news from San Antonio announce that a telegraph was about to be open ed between thut city and Matampras, and finally continued to Austin. The schooner Velocity,-with cotton, was captured on the night of the 2 1st uIt., just as she was going out. We are told that "deserters an d rob bers-abound in the State, and are com mitting the most flagrant robberles and assassinations. Not even poor old we men are free from their cruelties. It is to be hoped they w.ll be punished." We liad the pleasure yesterday, (24th) of seeing Captains Maffit anld Davidson, of the Confederate Navy. This morning (24th), at nine A. M.,' a gunboat arrived froi the Eas1t,' and immediately afterwrit the blockading squadron Pl aced their flags at half-mast. This steamer doubtless brought the news of the death of Lincoln. NEW ORLAXS, May 8, 1865. Gonral Canby met Dick Tayli- fi. tenu miles from 'Mobile and opened no. gotiations for a surrenJor of the rebel force. Nothing decisive was, deter. Iined upon, but Taylor was allowed irev'erai days to consider the proposi tions. It is believed that he has acce dod, to the terms befbre this. He must have been influenced to tiat end by the surrender of Johnston. General A. J. Smith, with the com. mand, occupied Montgomery, Ala., on the 25th ult., and General Steele Sehuma on the 27th. Arn extensive land slide of the river bank at Algiers occurred last night, heavily damaging the shipyard of Vall & Conner, also' that belonging to the Government. Low middling cotton, 36c.; strictly middling cotton hold at 40c., closing buoyant, with a reported advance.

The exercises in the morting ensisted of prayer and singing, and speeches by Wendell Phil. lips, George Thompson, Lloyd Garrison and Mrs. Harper, a colored lady. We have received the Ha'milton, Ber mudo, Mirror, of the 26th of April, but it contain3 nothing of importance. Jt' terms the news of the rebel General Lee's surrender 'un-welcorme intelligence,' and says: "We await, with anxiety, further results of this sad termination'of a noble cause." On Monday last Lietenant Corn mander Budd, of the lorida, delivered over to General Dix Captain Reed lvd the officers of the late rebel ram Webb, and they have been vent on to Fort Warren for safe keeping.

Bl:t it is diflkult to see what our governmeut has to do witli it, since J.mericans have the right to emigrate when and where they lilke. It i stlI more difficult to see how Frartto can object to it, untid such little matters as the refitting and recruiting of rebel pirates are explained away. - BANKRUPT RnLs.-All the leading rebel generals are bankrupt. Union officers are lending them money to get home. Kirby Smith, who thoughtenore of 'cotton thsn of the confederacy, is almost the only one of them who has any means. As for Jeff. Davis, he'nnd his specie are in danger of capture.. Loyalty is the best polif, even in a business point of view.
