On Monday last, at the corner of Third and Chestnut streets, Philadelphia, Pa, a man struck another man by the name of SIMON SNYDER, on the alleged supposition that he had spoken disrespectfully of President LINCOLN, and almost instantly, the cry of''Copperhead'' was raised, a crowd gathered, and the life of the assailed man was threatened. It turned out that Mr. SNYDER bad voted for Mr. LINCOLN in 1860 and 1864, and has always been accounted "a strong Union man."

No doubt many other men have been equally wrongfully assailed. Violence is seldom just or discriminating

 BALTIMORE, April 25.—
 Joseph Shaw, editor of the Westminster (Carroll County, Md ) Democrat,

was mobbed, and the material of his newspaper establishment destroyed, on the night of the Murder of President Lincoln. On account of his disloyal sentiments he had been warned away by the people, but returned again yesterday to Westminster.

Last night he was again waited upon by a delegation of citizens, who knocked at his door; he appeared, and was ordered to leave the place forthwith; he then fired upon the crowd, wounding a young man named Henrey Bell. Upon this the enraged citizens fell upon Shaw, and killed him upon the spot.

The Cincinnati Gazette makes the .recent treaty of General Sherman, in North Carolina, a pretext for the most bitter attack upon his reputation and military services: 

"The President has promptly disapproved if this proceeding, and has sent General Grant to the field, who will confine his acts of the duties of a military commander, and will push our military advantages, instead if allowing the enemy time to recover or to escape from their consequences. In this he has the unanimous support of his Cabinet, and of General Grant, and will have of the people.

The American people may be extravagant in their admiration of successful Generals, and may, in the transports of the times, ascribe to them all the credit of the deeds of the soldiers, and of the overwhelming means that the country and the energy to War Department have supplied, and may overlook the enormous cost of the success; but he would greatly mistake their intelligence and capacity who should presume upon this inflation to usurp dictatorial powers, or to turn the country's cause to a great political stroke for himself."

This is the reward that gallant General receives from the politicians whom he has saved: But for General Sherman and his soldiers, the Confederates to-day would have been in full force, and the prospects of confederate armies, and the termination of tho war as remote as ever.

This proceeding of Gen. Sherman was unapproved for the following, among many other reasons:

1. It was an exercise of authority not vested in Gen. Sherman, and its face shows that both he and Johnston knew he (Gen. Sherman) had no authority to enter into any such arrangement.

2. It was a practical acknowledgment of the rebel Government.

3. It undertook to re-establish the rebel State Governments, that bad been overthrown at the sacrifice of many thousand loyal lives, and an immense treasure, and placed arms and munitions of war in the hands of rebels, at their respective capitals, which might be used as soon as the armies of the United States were disbanded, and used to conquer and subdue the loyal States

4. By the restoration of the rebel authorities in their respective Slates, they would be hotblooded to re establish slavery.

6. It might furnish a ground of responsibility by the Federal Government to pay the rebel debt, and certainly,subjects loyal citizens of the rebel States to the debt consummated by the rebels in the name of the State.

6. It put in dispute the existence of loyal State Governments and the new State of West Virginia, which had been recognized by every department of the United States Government.

7. It practically abolished the confiscated a detailed report will be forwarded as soon as they are completed. The quantity of cotton will probably reach 3,000 bales,— and there is a large amount of prisoners and forage.

Major-General Hancock reports that nearly all of Mosby's command have surrendered, including nearly or quite all of the officers except Mosby himself. Some of Mosby's own men are hunting for a reward of §2,000, offered for him by Gen. Hancock who has been directed to establish his headquarters at Washington.

The counties of Prince George, Charles and St. Mary's have during the whole war been noted for hostility to the government, and its protection to rebel blockade runners, rebel spies, and every species of public enemy.

The murderer of the President harbored there before the murder, and Booth fled in that direction. If he escapes it will be owing to rebel accomplices in that direction.

The military commander of the department will surely take measures tn bring these rebel sympathizers and accomplices is the murder to a sense of their criminal conduct.
