CAMDEN FRIDAY, MAY 5,
Greenbacks. ?United States Treasury notes are
selling in Augusta at ninety for one.
Lincoln's assassin, Bootu, is.a son of JuNitraWu res
Booth, tlx? celebrated English tntgedean, and is,
himself au actor of some celebrity.
The Uuited States navy is at onco to be reduced.
J)i portion of the regular navy vessels arc to be laid up.
merchantmen used in the service are to he sold.
Gov. Vance of North Carolina is said to have ro- J
fused 10 serve ynder the Federal government, and the j
Yankee Gen. Schofeld has been appointed military j

Northern papers state that the greatest submission-1

of th*e Confederate Government, with especial privi-.

The Chester "Carolinian" says: We learn that immense
mass meetings have been held at the North, |
urging peaco.and conciliation.?Without -both, there
is not a foot of land occupied by the enemy that will
not becomo a perfect hell.
Tlio Richmond Whig says: "The Provost Mar?
shalVoffice is crowded With people anxious to take j
the oath of all?giauco, and the only question among
citizens seems to be who shall be flrsi to secure their
oitizenship." * ' M
The United States ship-of-war Niagara, presuming
at Portugal as anbfhcr ship of war hud done ;u tire j
case of Brazil, was firecl^upon by the forts at Lisbon.
This has put the enemy in a rage, and tho honor of
the flag is another cause ofexcitemcnt.
It la said that Secretary Tkexiiolm owned, an inter- |
eat in thirty-seven blockade runners, and, fS conwc- ,
tion with others, had amassed twenty millions in gold, j
all-of which is safely deposited in Europe. AYe :nke !
for granted that the Secretary would llko this assertiofa
to be made susceptible of proof.
Gens. "Lee and Grant.?The Columbia Phoouix
save: The Constitution of the United States provides,
that in case of the death of the President and TicePresidorit,
the Senate shall prooeed at once to olect
uieir successors, ins aata uioi t?o election of lion. I
Lee to the one and Gen. (?rant to the other, is free* j
ly canvassed in the Federal army.
.JSvacuation op Mobile.?"We are iifcrmed that
two officers have reached Atlanta, who left Mobile recently,
tho city being in course of evacuation at the
time of their departure. The fall of Mobile was hastened
by the capture of Spanish Fort, the leading point!
of defence for the city, which was surccndered, together
with its garrison of 2,200 men.
An Exchange says: 1
Wo learn that Col. Robert Ould, Confederate Com- j
missioner of .Exchange, Lieut Col. Wm. H. Hatch, j
his assistant President Bollock, of the Southern !
Express Company, and H. A. Hamilton, the agent I

take. Upon discovering iheir error, they surrendered. J
The prisoners were brought to Richmond under guard,
and were liberated on their pa rolo on Thursday afternoon
we understand.
When Lincoln was in Richmond, Judge Cambbell, ;
of Alabama, formerly Assistant Secretary of "War aud
Peace Commissioner, waited upon him at tho head of
a committee, to learn what were the best terms he (
could offer to Virginia. The President wrote on a .
slip of paper, without, address or signature, '-That the |
Emancipation Proclamation must stand; that in all j
other matters, the people would bo treated with liberality
; that passports might possibly be granted to
the'Governor, members ofthe Legislature, ojany other
public mer, to come to Richmond and decide the
of Virginia." I
Tho Chester "Carolinian"' says: There is nothing to
indicate that hostilities have not permanently censed.
?Tn'fact tlicro ore rcastms for believing that a settlement
has been agreed upon, and that Andy Johnson
hfts yielded to the presiir# upon him at the North, and,
as far as lies iu his power, ratified the propositions of
Grant and Sherman. The question is now loft to
tho several States for determination. They may act;
or what is better, may decline action, by simply accepting
in silence the humiliating chalice presented to
tiieir lips. It'is lioxiuie for words. Whatever is to
be our fate, let us slide Cpeily into it, and allow Heaven
to bo our guide.
ChaBles.?"Jim 1) , who had become
a votary to Bacchus, returned home one night
in an intermediate stale of buozines?that is to
say, he was comfortably drunk, but perfectly
conscious of his unfortunate situation. 3\uowing
iliat his wife was asleep, he decided to attempt
gaining bis bed without disturbing ber,
and, after ruminating a few moments on the
.matter, he thought if he could reach-the bedpost
and hold on to that, while he slipped off
Lis apparel, the feat would be easily accomplished.
Unfortunately for his scheme, a evatlle
stood in a direct line with the bedpost,
about the middle of the lloor. Of course, when
liia shins c;cmc in contact with the aforesaid
piece of furniture,"ho pitched over .it w ith a
jsitrrfcct.luruaujfi**; ?ml, upo+sgatuing -sn erect
position, ere .an equilibrium was established, he
went over it backward^ in an equally suinmar,y
manner. Again be struggled to his feet,
unu tcii loremost over the bower of infant happiness.
At length, with the fifth fall, his patience
bocauio exhausted, and the obstacle was
yet to be overcome. In desperation, he cried
out to his sleeping partner j
"Mary, in huti's name, how many cradles
h five you got -in th is house? I have tumbled
over five already, and I'll be dauuied if ^herc
.isn't another."

himself to the management of military affairs

DEATH OP ANDY johnson.
We learn from soldiofe who have just arrived-froni
Greensboro, that it was currently
reported and beliened there that Andy Johnson
had also been assassinated. The asserted
cause being his refusal to grant lust teuns to
the CoDfoderatcs, and the declaration of Booth
that he had boen .instigated by Johnson to
murder Lincoln. It is generally conceded by >.
tho Federal troops that President Lincoln Was
in favor of the arrangement entered into between
Gens. Johnston and Sherman.
.. 1
gen. Johnston's army disbanded.
Wa bavA recfeivAd information from a Source
which dissipates all doubt, that the troops in
Gen. Johnston's department?which embraces
the entire section of country East of the Chattahoochee
River?are to return to their State
capitals, turn over their arms to the authorities
and be disbanded, after biuding themselves not
to engage in hostilities against the United
States until relieved from the obligation.?
During which titae they are to comply with
the laws of their respective States, The United
States authorities guaranteeing them
igainst molestation. The troops arc to retain
;h%ir personal effects, etc.
