The Savannah Dally Herald.
YftIDAY, MAY 9, 1863.
Apologetic. —Again we are obliged to is
sue tlie Herald on a half sheet, but we hope
our printing paper, for which we have anxi
ously looked, will be here to-day. Meantime,
we do the best we can, aud can only say that
It is impossible for our friends to be more
annoyed than we arc.
THE NEWS.
We are enabled, through the energy of our
Hilton Head correspondent, to lay before our
readers thus early, the exceedingly important
news brought by the Fulton, which arrived
< at Ililtou Head, last evening.
The official announcement of the surrender of
Gen. Johustou upou the same terms as those
of Lee's surrender, is received. This impor
tant event, aud the orders issued in conse
quence, arc the virtual announcement of the
end of the war.
The President’s proclamation opening all the
Southern ports and removing the military re
strictions upon commerce, is of great mo
ment. Its consequences can hardly be esti
mated now, but it is safe to say that it marks
the era of anew prosperity for the South.
Continued investigations into the conspi
racy to assassinate the leading officials at
Washington prove it to have been of tbe
moat alarming proportions, a prison full of
accomplices having been apprehended.
The order from the War Department hon
orably discharging, with immediate pay
ment, ail convalescents in hospitals, and pa
roled prisoners on furlough, aud ordering the
extensive reduction of the entire military
establishment, will be most welcome among
the soldi, ra of the Union in the Department
of the Sooth.
Much other news of interest and impor
tance will be found in the extended des
patches of our correspondent.
A Streak of Luck for this •‘CBAFT.”--It
is seldom that printers are out in the wet
without umbrellas when there is a shower of
gold—they are generally “counted out"
when Foitune Is distributing her coveted
favors—it isn’t the printers who get shoady
contracts, who accumulate huge piles of
dimes by lucky dealings in stocks or by
sudden fluctuations In the gold market,—*
Printers are the last to “strike lie,’’ —proba-
bly if that oleaginous fluid was to be bud in
shiploads for tbe mere dipping up, not one
printer in a thousaud could muster small
change cneugh to buy him a tin dipper. In
fact, if there should happen a snow-storm
of {‘stamps” and “greenbacks," It would be
the luck of nine-tenths of tbe printers in tbe
country to be fast asleep, and not to wake
up till tbe drifts had all melted. However,
Fortune sometimes, though seldom, does
forget herself and give one of the boys a lift
witness tbe following from a New York
paper. We know Harry well, and if any
body knows bo'w to spend money judicious
ly, it’s that same Harry Vifiard—-long may
he wave:
“We have a reporter among U 9 who
eclipses the tbe “twenty-thousand dollar’
Bos-on knight of the pencil. His name is
Harry Villard, of the New York Herald,
Who has just returned from Germany, where
he fell heir to $60,000 in gold. He remained
tliesre long enough to nearly double that
afnount in speculations in 'United States
bonds, and wiH settle in this country, where
he has resided for the past litteen years.”
THE COURTS.

; Nothing of public interest was transacted
at thia.court to-day. \
StCOSi) PROVOST COCRT.
; Thursday, May 8, 1865.
Tha following cases were disposed of by
Judge Walton tbls morning.
"Ordered, That Wm. P. Yonge, citizen of

tor deadly assault with a knife.
Permission was granted Henry Fields to
take possesion of a horse, described, said to
be eleven miles from the city.
Tut Assassin Booth.— The last character
in which tbo assassin Booth appeared on the
Mage in this city, was that of Marc Antony,
hi ‘Julios Caesar” : and it is curious now to
look back on the grand Shakesperianlangoage
he had to use ou that occasiou, and to think
bow it mast now come homf to him, in h's
solitary moments of flight, and exile, and
fear, in stem reproach. ~ •
He cannot; indeed, with Marc Antony, ad
dress the scared and bleeding body of his
victim with the apostrophe : '
* *0 pardon me, than bleeding piece of earth
for be is himself the author of the fiendish
deed that stamps him parricide. But the
succeeding words in Antony’s sublime and
indignant soliloquy he may even apply to
himself:
“Woe to the hand that ahed this costly blood,* 1
With Antony, too, we may exclaim in
tearful accents:
“Oh what a fall was there, my countrymen 1
Si•“ I, and all of us fell down,
Whilst bloody treason flourished o’er ns r
But treason will reap its reward —\Y

Reduction of the Army.
Washington, April 80th.
Immediately on the return of General
Grant he addressed bimselt to the task of
reducing the public expenses by cutting off
all the superfluity of our military establish
ments.
All the occupants of military hospitals
well enough to be discharged, and all enlist
ed men not on duty in the field, are at once
to be mustered out of service. It is estimat
ed that the number thus taken from the army
rolls will be in the neighborhood of 400,000,
and the reduction thu9 made in the public
expenses will be nearly one million of dol
lars per day.
Ta« Conspiracy.
The number of persona arrested, charged
with cqmplirity in the recent assassination
plot, has increased so greatly that it has been
necessary to fit up the old disirict peuiten
tiary in tbe yard of the arsenal, as a special
prisou for their custody; At midnight, last
night, all these persons were quietly and
safely removed to this new prison from the
Monitors on which they have heretofore been
confined.
Rumors About Harrold.
- • (Special Despatch to the N. y. Times.}
Washington, April 30.
Rumors are rife and various about the trial
of Harrold. One of these rumors is that he
is now on trial befit re a Military Commission,
and that the testimony is closed and the sen
tence will bo promulgated to morrow.-
Another U that the trial is concluded and
Harrold is sentenced to be hung on Wednes
day morning next. I have good reason for
believing that Harrold has not been put upon
trial, and that tbe Government does uot pro
pose to try him until the preliminary exam
ination of witnesses in this neighborhood is
concluded.
■As stated in a former despatch several
Commissions are now oat" in the country on
this business, with short hand reporters tak
ing testimony, and others leave to-morrow.
