Relating into a sadder strain, he laid the book aside, and leaningback in his 'hair, ea.ia; ' ^ There "is i poem which has been a great favoritq with me for j'ears, whichwas tirst shown to me when a young Bin by a friend, and which I afterv/ards saw and cat rom a"newspaper and learned by heart.

We copy I'rcia tis letter, dated 'Washington, 17th inst.,the following t 'While it is natvtral that this unspeakabie outrage slionld arotise' the resentmentof the American people, and of every civilized nation, justice re- quiresit should be said that thereare thousands in the Southern States who have heard of it wfth un.dissembled horrcr. It is eqcnllyright to say that in what I saw of the people 'of Richmond I saw litjle bnt grif and despondency.Tliere was no defiance; and the abounding maniPfstations of poverty, destittition and exhaustionwere well calculated to inspire pity. Late on ..feat- tirday night I met a leading and infioeat)*! citizen,and asked him what ihe would think of thie news of the assassination of Pre- sident Lincoln byone of the friends of the rebellion ? He replied, with a territied look, "Canyon beliete that anyhuman being would take from ns var best friend ?" 1 forbear naming this gentleman, but in a longcopversation with hira in the moin'ng he was so free it the cbmtnunicatiou of his views, and spokefvth so mtrch authovity frcmhii li^hpo- sition, that I do not doubt hi.s sincerity. He'ear- itestly approvedthe revocation of the order con- senting to thevreaserrsWing of the rebel legislature. lior.?.- Theterms cf Grr-nt to, Lee, also the TesuU of the same benign policy, nirUed many of t: e rebel o.liicersto tears. 'They were dumbfound- ed at the magnanimi.'y of the American Govern- ment; and thefavorite officer of Lee, Gt'ne;a! Gord n, with maty ethers almost equally eminent, did not hesitate toexpress, his deep and grateful atuse of this unparalleled exhibition of the mercy oi the conqueror.Hon. Elihu B. "Wasbburne, of lilinois, whom I met at Kichmond, on Saturday niorning, was present atthis remarkable spectacle. Xany of the "rebel officers, had been tha school.

Many of ih-cm had sat in Congress, with those against whom tliey had fought.Witliout an exception, 1 --ajnning, I feel free to say, with Lee "^himself, tiiir.'fiicers of this surrenderedArmy of North- -0 Virginia, regarded the rebellion as. over, a-.d 'advise submission to the irreiii.stabl!> power c. the Federal Government. The assassina- t;.in of President Lincoln has awakened theli^-roest "passions of the long forgiving and long in- r "Ited people T)l' the free States, and nothingmakss iSesa .passions stronger than the remembrance of the immortal example of that good man inhis treat, nient of dhe foes of ^he Bepublic. I believe that tlieje rebel officers and men will denounceit with ail tfte severity and indignation whicli it d':!serves and demands. They will see in it, let ushope, a newproof of the dreadful elements that have been enlisted by slavery gaiust Freedom; andin the rif.w uprising of the people of the mighty North they will also read the re-establishment ofthe Federal Union on the only terms that a great and prosperous nation can now afford to offerand to guarantee to the defeated and the powerless ene- mi^ss of free institutions.

have more distres.^.ingiy astounded the public than this of the murder oi the Chief Magistrate ofthe republic, committed in .i way 4nd under circumstances calculated fo ren very. Now both thesedemands are decided ajainst us both are dead forever, and we are ready for any terms Mr. Lincolnmay propose." 'Such was his language, spo'KCn not alone in my presence, but before others. Theassassins that slew the illus- trous sago who now sleeps in death in the Presi. dentkl mansion, _andattempted the life of the great publicist upon whom only le.ss depended than upon the existenceof the Chief Magistrate himself, these demons never dreamed that they were the unconsciousfcistruments in presMng the speedy punishment of the rebel .leaders, and the complete extinctionof the rebellion. An* if Mr. Lincoln's mercy and forgiveness aie to be follpwed by a sterner policy,it will be because of tbe neces- sity flowing from the new perils of the Republic. The good men oftbe South will not suf?er in such a contingency. Andrew Johnson is himself a Southern man. He isnbt, it is true, a despot like Jefferson Davis, nor a porcelain aristocrat like Ham- mond, who go hated"the mudsills," nor a learned fool like Mason, but he is nevertheless a South- erner born, and onewho, frcm the iir|t, has fought for progressive principles and progres.sive men. No ijan better knowsthe Southern people, and hone probably knows the authors ot the rebellion so well. The gloriotismartyr himself, Abraham Lincoln, whose constant kindness and forgiveness could not soften themurderer's heart, has not bean a more devoted friend of the South tlian Andrew Johnson. Thebad men H'ho as they hear of Lincoln's de^ath gloomily anticipate their own, hated Johnson with abitterness all the deper because 1 e hated and ex- posed their designs. T^e manner in which the in-tolligence of the assas.sination of Mr. Lincoln was 'rec3ived by the Union sailor.* and soldiers whomwe met on our return from Richmond was more than significant. They loved this man like a father.He had grown info their hearts. His si&plicity of manner and his directne.is of speech his uneeasingattentlomo them and to their welfarb his kindness.to their relatives and friends had made himtheir idol. On the stormy deep, in the bivouac and the march, even in the pauses of battle, theytalked of "Father Abraham," and thousands of fer. vent prayers were sent by the?e brave men to thethrone of God for the patriot who was slaughtered just as he had saved his country. It is difficult tosay ^yhelher the spirit of regret or the spirit of revenge predominated among them as the dreadfultidings der jt ueculiarly shocking to the contemplation of everj- honorable and virtuous-mind. Itis truly an f-.'>palling calamity to the countiry, as well as ater- r:.ble bereavement to the" family,whose head has thijs been suddenly hurried to the tomb. Little did we dream, when we saw the latePresident in C";r city two weeks ago in all the pride of life, en- jiiying tbe Bociety of his friends andthe courtesies of'our citizens that we shtuld have so soon to publish, tidings of his death still less,that we should I ave to tell of his death by assassination. Strange A-i'l mysterious, as well as awfuland deplorable catastrophe ! In his own capital, amoagst his 'u>in people, and almost at the doerof his ovra mansion,^ at a moment when'his heart was buoyant 'ftitli gladness and his prospect ofa continued life never belter, has he been ttruck d^wr, and the places that knew him on earth wl'!kno'A' him no more forever.

Itis'well known that he was disposed to do all that he honorably and consistently could to re-establishthe Union in a way to strengtlien and perpetuate it, by infusing into it the spirit of fraternity andharmony between its different parts, which originally constitu- ted the main element of its strenjth,and which is absolutely essential and indispensable for its happiness and prosperity. N" man wasmore profoundly sensible of the wisdom of this policy than Presi- dent Lincoln, and if his iifehadbe*nspaced a little longer, be would, we feel assured, under the gui- dance of his own judgment, havebeen instrumen- tal in not only bringing jpeace to the republic, but peace, accompanied, with thosetranqnilizing infiu- ences which would have rapidly led to the revival and restoration of the ties offraternity between the sections that iiad been so long and violenfly dis- turbed. We have, however,a very confident hope that the work to which hchad put his hands, will, under the aUb-pices ofthe succeeding Administra- tion, go on to completion, and that peace will soon shed its blessingsupon the country aud upon the world. j 'We cannot close this article without adverting to the kindlyimpression which the laW President made upon our ciiiicns during the brief visit that he recentlypaid us.

A CARn FROM MANAGERFORD. As my name has been unhappily associated wiih the dcploiable tragedy which has plungedthe nation in sorrow, a brief statement is due to the public, especially II those with whom 1 ampersonally acquainted. Kntertaining the highest respect and reverencfe for President Lincoln, I longago placed the State Box in my theatre in Washington at his command whenever he might .see fitto attend the exhibitions, and of this privi- poignancy tothe reg:et which 1 feel in commoh with .!r;r countrymen. I have been suiprised and pained to learn t^iittsinet this event some persons, towhomjny unwavering-'.oy> IUy must be well known, have yet sought'o plact-.siCj upiust construcUonup:>u the fact that a rebel Band haii* played at my Theatre in Baltimore. That Band canit to me inBaltimore accredited as prisoners who had tak'm theVth of allegiance, and had performed at tht-War Department, and at Orover'a Theatre, in Washing- ton. Befo e receivihg them 1 conferred withthe milit i-y authorities, and engaged the Band with th>ir kno'.sled^ and full concurrence. They wereinst.ucted to play an5 dirt play the National airs, and played no Southern air or tune wliich couldbe corstruf.d as expressive ot i^'outheili sentiments or symjiathies except 'Dixie," which.ionr nofc-lamented President had ,just proclaimed '-a oaptaredi tune." It was designed but as a srectac;le yfcaptiY":'Hia siciaffii presenting ' a captnred tnue," and as a gTRtifica- ttpn to loyal citizens. With suchI have always actefl, and to such this brief explana'ion, inade at the eaviiert possible moment after


my arrival home this morsing, is due. Such can partially appreci'ate (i fray they maj uevir fully know)the painful embarrassment iiu VrfhitiK this foul crime has placed me. Johk T.

About 'four O'clojls Saturday evening,an out house on the premises, north corner of 5tli and Canal street, took fire from a stray spark, but


was easily exliflgtashed without the aid of the fire- men, who, however, soon arrived on the ground.This property is known as the Munford house. Some montlis ago it was purchased by the late JohnM. Daniel, and at thetime of the evacnation was in thb occupancy of Mr. John Mitchel, the Irislipatriot. At quarter-past three o'clock last evening, a quantity of smoka was observed issuing fromthe Sentinel ofiice, corner of ISth and Franklin streets, and the eircurastance -attracted attentionfroni the tact that the building was known to be just now unoccupied, the publication ofYhe Sentinelhaving been discontinued since the capture of the city by the United States forces. An entrance intotlie building liaving been effected, the sra,oke was dis- covered to proceed from a collection, of oldrags i^nd waste lying on a table in the press-room. An investigation, by Chief Engineer Barnes, ofths Fire Department, disclosed the .fact that the rags had taken tire from the, chimney of the nexthouse, which was built iato the wall against which the table was standing.

Dr. Charles Bell Gibson, of Philadelphia, but for fifteenor twenty years a resident and practitioner of this city, died at his resfdence on Frinklin street, nei'-7t'' street, at 6 o'clock yesterday morning, of disease of the heart. Since t few,days snbseqtient tothe evacuation he had been suffering from a se- vere attack of pneumonia, but the disease hadOpexixo op FiRE-PffooF Safes. The safe be- longiftgtothe Va. Fire & Mating Insurance Co., whoseoffice, under the American Hotel, was destroyed in the late conflagration, was optJned on Saturdayby the ofticers of the Company, when the books and papers of the office wet's found to l\e in aperfect state of preservation. A small glass pitcher which happened to be put into the safe, on the


day of the fire, was also found whole and un- harmed. This was a Gay lor safe, very few of,whichwere ever made, the manufacturer 'being run out of the market by ciieaper ai tides. That the safemay not receive more credit than it is fairly enti- tied to, it may be proper-to state that it was ptirtlybuilt into the wall, which must have afforded it considerable protection. On the same day the HerringSafe^ of Messrs. Kent, Paine & Co. was opened, and 'all the books and papers found to be so charredas to be worth- less. This safe was not built into a wall and was subjectei to a severer test than,perhaps, any othtr in the city, the warehouse in which it was located^ being crowded with goods,mostly OT a very inflam- mable character.

As a surgeon, Dr. Gibsonhas for years enjoyed the highest reputatioi^ both'in Baltimore and Kich- *raond. Immediately afterthe secession of Vir- ginia and on the organization of the military forces , of the State, he receivedthe appointment of Sur- geon General of Virginia, a position which he held until the State forceswere turned over to the Davis Government. He then accepted a^ commission as surgeon in the so-called Confederate service. At the time of his death.

' Cheap Bread.We are authorized to announce that by order of the military authorities, the com- missaries ofsubsistence of the United States army in this city will begin to-day to issue to all citizens bread at sixand a quarter cents per loaf of 18 . ounces. The humanity of this move prompted by the consideiatethoughtiulness of the military authorities, cannot be over estimated. There are to-day thousandsof our citizens, male and female, hut chiefly the latter, who, living in Unwilling hut unavoidableidleness, aro without the means of subsistence. Over five thousapd-of these persons, femals, upto the time of the evacuation, earned, , by making soldiers clothing, a scanty livelihood, eked outby such supplies as the citizens relief com. mittee could furnish. During the last throe weeks manyof thdm must have perished but for the relief opportunely and paternally afforded them by the U.States authorities. This 'distribution of bread at the nominal price of six and a quarter cents is thecrowning act of the beneficence of the authorities Under whom we live, for while it holds out an in-ducement to industry, and to that extent avoids the invariable demoralizing effects of the gra uitousdistribution of food, it plaSes the means of subsistence within the reach of all who are not fit sub-jects for the alms-house. When .'iece.ssion orators harangued us on the "horrors of subjugation," thewriter does not remember thfeir 'saying anything about the benevolent ministerings of the ChristianCommission, the distribution of supplies, or the S'ile of cheap bread to the thousands made beg-gars by the heartless policy of the Rebel authorities. /' This breiid will he sold, to-day and hereafteras long as shall be deemed expedient by the military authorities, at the offices respectively.of Caps.H, UxsEASONABLE.

of the orators who kciicated tbeee views, and painted with elaborate art the riches, the iLfiaenoeaud power to whl-oa a "S:uti.e-n Con- federacy" Jiitist speedily attain. B7ea since the opening ofth* war it has beer, common to insist that la proEecutJcg it, tho North has lean actuated chieflyby a sordid desire for pe- cuniary advantage. The cloud of prr-jadlce and passion veiling the eyBof Southern statesmen has shut out from their vision the higher and noblei ciotives flawing froaia love of constllutional liberty, law and ordar, and from a conviction that the highest interests ofthe wliole mmtry were Involved in tho preservation of tho Union. That some powerful principlesand feelings, dis- tinct from, and in fact inoonslctant with, the raeie desire to "make money," musthave impelled the 'oyal propla of the nat'oa to ontinue the war, seem^ too plain for donbtf. .Therewas a manifest h caaslatoncy in the theories of dkunicn on this sa J3Ct. They admitted that the ch'efsource cf profit which the North derived from cur section was tho prod'Jctioa of cotton, tobacco,sugar and rice-all ralsad by slave-labor. Yet they insisted tiat, in waging a war which, by inevitablemll^ tary laws, disorgmlzei and destr^ed thislahor, tYf. North was aeakiug chiafly ho: os7a pecuniaryi#- Vii'ntsga ! Moreover, they ignoted the fact that, ia tha deiibrata piirposa to oai'ry on the war, andin the esecutlon of that purpose, the North not merely ooEtrlbuted hu-dreds cf inlllioDS"of dollars,but conlractod a debt of colossal proportions. Had the No th bwn gcverned merely by pecuniarycorsJde- rations, the shrewd and IntelilgeEt people of tba* aootlon WDuld not only-have acquiescedin dlsun'cn, bat have p'jld over to the erratic States millioEs of trsasaro rather thaa encountar thabases and sacri- fices which tha War has entailed upon them. TlUs bliidnoss to tho tree motives ofthe North- ern peopla has been the uahappy cause of prolong-' Ing the s!;ruggle. 'Our people hayahad constantly p:esen*od to thsm the delusive idea that th<3 moment the North found the warwould not "pay" i; would ba abandoned. Thus have thay been lad on +hrc'-:'>h ysMs of blood andsuffering. Had .the Impulaea of the Unionists been as,sordid as the unrtfleoting were induced tobelieve, the former would doubtless have stopped the w^r whan they diacovered it did not "pay."But, in the light of the great contest aid of the sentiments which its resuka are dveiof lag, Intelligeitobssrvars will .id rait that idea? de<.ber, pursr, str jnger than the leva of gala c-us: liave been at workto uphold the poopio who have carried this war to a succesa.fnl ead^ In Ma late address at FortS'-imter, Heary Ward Bsecher thns express'd' his WeM of therasuhacf the war: "O.-e nati'D, Uiidarone Gov!;aniect. without slavery, ha? bean ordaiaad and ehaii btand Then; Cm be psaca on no cthfrbasia.'

The record of your whole past life, familiar to us all the splendor of your

' The ProBideut said : Gent!:nen:1 have listened with profound aj'ealijn to the ki.id word;! you have adJre.s3ed to me. The. visit ofthis large delegation to apeak to me through you, sir, these words of encouragement I had notanticipated. In the midst of the saddening circumstances which sur- voa.nd us, and the immenseresponsibility thrown upon me, aa exiresslon of the confidence of individuals, and still ;nore of aninfluential body like that b fore me, rep- resenting a great Commonwealth, cheers and strengthensmy heavily burdened mind. I am at a loss Jot words to respond. In an hour like this of deep sorrow,were P possible to embody in words the feelings of my bosom I could not command my UijS toutter them. Perhaps the beat i%ply I could make, and the one iost readily appropriate to your kindassurances of confidence, would be to receive them in silence. The throbbings of my heart sincethe sad catastrcpe wliich has appalled the country cannat be rediiced to words, nd oppiessed asasa by the new and great responsibility which'has devo.ved upan me, saddened'with grief, I canwith d'iSi. . Cttlty respond to you at all. But 1 cannot permit such expiessions of the confidencereposed in me by ahe peo pie to nasii witnout acknowledgment. To an individual- like m'ysflf, whohas nuvsr claimed much, but who i^m it ia true, received from a generous people many ma-ks oftrust and honor for a long time, an occasion like th's aud a manifest tioa of public feeling so well-tmeJ, are peculiariy acceptable. Spruag- from ;he people ffiyself,_ evtry pulse, as one with the popularheart, finds .an im mediate answer in my own. By many men in public life such occasions are oftenconsidered merely formal. To me they are real your words of countenance and en- couragemsntsink deep in my heart, and were I even a cowar'd I could but gather from them strength to carry outmy convictions 6t right. . Thus feeling, 1 shall enter upon the discharge of my great duty firmly andsteadfastly, applause, if aotwitn the signal ability exhibited by my predecessor, which ia g'j'l'f'-eBhin our .-orroving minds. Need I repe it that coheart feels moie senjibly than mine this great alHic,-In" what I say on this occasion I shall indulge ia no petty spirit of anger no feeiiag of revenge. Butwe have beheld a DOtable event in the history of mankiad. In the midst of the American people,where every citjzen ^3 taught to obey law and obgerve the rules of Christian #londuct, our ChiefMagistrate, the beloved of all hearts, has been assassinated, and when we trace this crime to itscause, when we remember the source whence the asaasiin drew his inspxation, and then look atthe resalt, we stand yet more astounded at this most barbirous, kiast diabolical'assassination. Sucha crime as the murder of a great ant good man honored and respected, ' the b'loved and the hope


of the people, springs not alone from a solitary individual of evei^so desperate wicked- ness We.can trace its courses through successive s'ei)-s without my enumerating them here, back to thesourc''- which is the spring of alliour woes. No one can say that if the perpetrator of this fiendisha"t he arrested lie should not undergo {he extrcmest D^nalty thelaw knows for crime. None will saythat mercy should interpose. But is he alone guilty ? Hei-e, ffentlemen, you perhaps e-vpCct me-to present some indi- cation of my future policy. One Ihing I will say, every e-a teaches its lesson.The, times we live in are not vvitbout inst uction. Tie American people'must be taught if they donot'already feel, that treason is a crime and must be punished. Applause That the Government will'not always bean with its enemies.- That it is strong not only to protect, but to punish. fADplauseWhen we turn to the criminal code aud Vexamine the catalogue of crime, we there find arson laiddown as a crime, with i^e appropriate penalty. ^Ve there find theft and robbery and murder givenas crimes, and the-e too, we find the last and highest of crimes treason r Applause. Witli otherand inferior pffeuces our neonle are familiar, but m our peaceful history treason has been almostunknown. The people must understand that it is the blackest of crimes, anS will be surely pun- ishedApplause. I tnake this allusion not to c-xcite the already exaBperated feelings of the public, but topoint out the principles of public justice which shaaid iu'de our action at this particular juncture,a'd which accord with sound public morals. Let it be engraven uoon every heart that treason iscrime, and traitors . sllould suffer its penalty. Applause. While we are appalled ana oveiwhtlmedat the tai. oi - -.man in oar midst b/the hand of a traitor, shall we iple in this, as in all thin'gs.jasticeand judgment Ubo determined by them. J do not harbor bittor or jngeful feelings towards any. Ingeneral terms, i wonhfsay that public morals should be, established upon the sure and infallibleprinciple of justfee. Applaase. j When the question of exercising mercy comes belere me it will beconsidered calmly and judicially, remem- bering that I am the Executive of the Nation. I Know t'r.atmen love to have their uames spoken of in connection with acts of mercy, and hbwea^y it is toyield to this impulse. But we must not fcrget that what may be mercy to the individual is cruelty tothe State. Ap- In tlie exerfisB of mercy there should be no doubt loft that this high prerogative is notused to relieve a few at tie e.-vpense of the many.' Be assured I shalf never f-^rget thiV i am not toconsult my wn feelings alone, but to o-ive an account to the whole people. Applause. In regard tomy future course, I will now make no pro- fesFions no p'edges. I have been connected somewhatactively with public af ai A and to tie history of my past public acts, which is tafailiar to you, I referfor taose principles which have govorned me Leretoiore and will guide me herealtsr. In general I willsay that I have long labored for the ameiioratioa and elevation ot the great ma?3 of markiud. Myopinions as to the nature ot popular government have long been cherished, and, con- stituted as Iam, it is a >w too late in life forme to change them. I believe that the government was made for man,not manfor governmeut. .applause. This struggle of the people against the most gigantic rebellionthat the world ei-'er saw has demonstrated that the attachment of the people to their governmentis the strongest national defence human wisdom caa devise. Applause. So loagas each Uian feels


that the interests of the sovenmeat are his interests so long as the public heart turns in the lii'ht dh-ection and the people undei- staid and approciat/the theory of onr go^ernnieDt and our liberty, ourCcnstitution will be transmitted utim- piired If the/time ever comes when the people .shall tail it, thegovefiimeat will fall, and we ehali cease to bj one f)f the- nations of the earth.

Applause. - In the dealings of an lascrutabieProvidence, and by the operations of Ijhe Constitution, I have been thrown uttsxpectidly into thisposition. My past life, and es, pecially my course during the p-esent unholy rebellion, is before you.I have no principles to retract. I deiy any cne to point to any of my public acts at variance with thefixed principles which have guided me throngh life I have no professions to olKr.

In Jan- uary last Booth called at Mr. Clarke's housd, asked for thii p.ictige,and it v,'as given up to him. It is now supposed that at tJiattime he took out the paper and added toit his sio-nijture. which appears to be in a different ink fromthat usedin thc'body of tb ! :*<" and also,from tie language employed, cc.' -een put to it originally. Afterwards he package to Mr. Cl-irke agi'nfor ^fekeopiafc bearing the su- Dcrscrlptioa 'J. Willces Booth.' , , ., , ^ , ' The enclosure was preserved

Mr.- Clarke promptly handed overthe paper to Marshal Millward, in whose custody it now remains. From a Derr.sil of-this paper itseems to have been prepared by Booth as a vindication of some des- penteaot which he had incoiitempl itio,n; aud from the language used it is probahie 'that it was a.plot to abductthePresidentand carry him off to Virginia. It tiiia was meditated i- failed, and from iaaking a pris- 01 ercf thePresident to his assa?sinatioii was an ta^y step for a laau cf perverted principles. The following isthe closing passage of the letter: I have also studied hard to discover upon what grounds tie rightof a State to secede has been denied when our verv aamf, United States, and the Declaration ofInde- ut-a'dence uotel provide for Secession. But there is no time for words. I write in haste. I knowhow foolish^ I shall be deemed for undertaking such a step astliis, where on the oiie side, I haf em-any friends and everything to niake me hap-ry, where my profession alone li g gained me anincome if more than twenty thousand dollars a year, and where my great persond ambi fon inmy profession has such a great field for labor.

To give up all of the POitaEK for the latter,besides my mother and sisters, whom I love so deariy, (althongh they so widely dlflfer with me inopinion,) seems insane; but God is my iudge I love .iustice more than I do a country that dis- owns it ;more th.in fame aud wealth; m re (Heaven par- don me if wrong) than a happy home.

From the Cleveland Leader, April 17. , Wi learaon the best authority that when Wilkea Booth was in this city, a year aad a hall ago, he remarkedto a piominent citizen that -ihe man who killed Abraham Lincoln would occupy a-higher niche cffame than (ieorge Washington.' This demonstrates that his inta- mous deed was long premeditated.Frbm the Chicago Journal. A t'aeitrical gentieniin of this city info(-ms us that in -he eariypart of 1883,during an engagement cf J. Wilkes Booth at McVicker's The4re 'he made the re- mark one day, 'Whata glorious opportunity there ii for a man to immortalize hinsself by kiiliug Lincoln.' What goo^ wouldthat do'" he was asked. He then quoted these lines . , The ambitious youth who fired the Ephesiandome Outlives in fame the pious fool who reared it. " 'Well, who was that! ambitious youth what wasbis naaiel" was then asked. 'That I coa't know," Booth replied. ^^^ 'Then Where's the fame you speaiol"' Tnis, our iaformant tells as, nonplused him. From'this it would seem that the assassin has had 'hecommission of this horrid crime in his mind for at least tso or tluee years. AN IMPORT.VNT AKKSaT. ,A special despatch to the N. Y.

He.tubneqnently was appointed an En.sign in the King'sbodyguard, but in 178.3 withdrew from the mditaiy service, rnarried and settled down qaiotly into adomestic con try life- His discontented disposition aad his strong political prejudices soon, however,withdrew him A Jierefrom, and lie became a violent opponent of the king's nation 1 policy, which wasliberal, and tended to the withdrawal of the reserved powe:8 of thf nobility. Becom- ing implicatedIn the seditious moveDHents of the Island of Gothland he was arrfe3t'.:d Vmd tried for treason in1790, and releised for want of evidence. This arrest enraged him, aud in conjunction with GeneralPechlin Couat Horn. Count P.ibbing, Baron Bjelke. Col. Lilje- horn aud others, he formed a leagueto kill the Kir,^. He was cto'^n by lot as the regicide and consummated the deed on the night of thel">th of March. 1792 when 'it a bJ-1 masque, he shot the King, who died !most on the spot. The pistol,which wa' found ia the hall, was ioent fied as belonging to Ancker3t:oem and proved conclusiveevidence again 4 him. He was tried, con- victed, and, after being flogged almost to death; was hunf.The dramaiiceleiaoit of this murder recslls vi- v dfy the ffastard tanrUer of our l.'ite bsl'.Ted ChiefMa- gistrate. Upon the head of his essassia, when captured, will be wreaked the yengeauco of amoarning and indig- nant people.

mCBMOND WHIG, MONDAY MOBK , APEIL 24, 1865. ,^''/^>\j_ > THE SUHKENDMB, OF MO Slit. Agreat deal of curiosity and interest hafe been felt since the. surrender of the Army of NorthernVirginia to know what woald becoiBe of Mosby, and a dozen conflicting rumors have been incirculation coccerniiig him. At one time he was said to be hoTering around Richmond for predatorypurpo- ses ; at another he was reported to have crossed to the,south of James river at Columbia,en route with his command for the Trans Mississippi. Thetei stories were, however, soon refutedby authentiij intelligence that the subject of them had been engaged in an unsuccessful skirmishwith a portion of the United States cavalry, lifteen or twenty miles south of Alexandria, and hadbeenx forced to scek> safety by scattering his forces-in the Bltie Ridge mountains. From the dateof this skirmish which /Occurred about the i2th instant, until last iloaday week, ilosby and hismen were lost sight of by the public, and many believed that the partizsn. chief bal diUianded hisforces. ^Bnt it now afipcsrs that he has acted in a wiser and more regular manner. 'Advices from


Winchester of the ISth instant, state that at 12 o'clock, M.,-on Mttaday, the 17th inst., he surrenderedhis forces to Gen. Chapman,,at Berryville, a Lieutenant Colonel of his command having come into"Winchester on the day before and arranged with Gen. Hancocjt the terms of the surrender, whichare similar to those accorded to.G^n. Lee's array. It is updersôod that General^Rcsser has askedthat his command be also iijcluded in the cartel. The exact number of inen in Mosby'J commandis supposed to be about seven hundred, many of whom are Marylanders. During the past twoyears he has been prohibited by the rebel conscript act from enlisting men liable to conscription.Rosser's forceml^st be very small, indeed a mere handfu3. At the time of Sheridan's last advanceon Staunton, Rosser was scouting down the Valley with or)ly ofee hundred men, at least half ofwhom were lost by collision with Sheridan's advancing column. It was believed that the Union armieswould not be'able, on acccunt of the condition of the road's, to res^jme activfe operations beforethe , first of April, and Acting on this delusion, Rosser's division wejje temporarily disbanded toreturn to their hrfmes in search of fcj8sh horses, clothing, &c. How many of his men he iks sincebeen able to get together wc have not learned; 'out it is not to be pre- ' snmed that tjiey flo(^kpdto his'îtandard with much , alacrity after learning the fate of Lee's Army. GETEllAL ULliifAmr.General Daniei Uilmann and'staff, says the N. Y. Evenmij Post, are at the Astor House. The Gen-'eraltaktes a brief leave of absence after two years of continuous service in the Department ofthe Gulf. After a few days sojourn for the rcstorati^ln of his health, somewhat impaired by theeffects of 'the Southern climate, he will-return to the fie Id. Two years ago General UHinana sailedlor New Orleans, accompanied by two hundred officers' se- lected by him mainly from the Armyof the Po. tomac. Of those who survive, two are brigadier generads, seven are colonels, and theremaipder (lave received promotions by one or two grades. The excellent influence exerted by thisbody of educated gentleinan upon the coiored corps of the Southwest has been apparent from thebeginning. DESTRUCTION OF VEMOCKATKJ NEWSVA. TER OFFICES IN HAN FRANCISCO. We somedays ago announced the destruction of the Democratic newspaper offices in ân Francisco, onSaturday, the 15th instant. , ' Despatches from San Francisco state that the destruction of thesenewspapers was not induced by any recent offensive utterances, but was the re. suit of a suddenoutburtt of long pent up popular indignation at their persistent opposition to the ' Governmentthroughout the war. The destruction was effected with such rapidity,_ and w'as so unex- pected,that the authorities were able to do nothing to prevent it. During the night of the 15th the militaryheld possession of the whole length of Montgomery street, the )principal thoroughfare, and allapproaches to it, thus preventing further violence in the quarter of hhe city where it was most tobe apprebended. The French organ, V Reo du Pacifique, beifig, threatened, was put under guard.The Dnici/iond^lmericanw'a's destroyed. Intense excitement prevailed all night. A later telegramfrom San Francisco, on the 17th, states that no subsequent disturbance of the pabliC peace hadoccurred. It was reported that the .Democratic , newspapers at Jlarysville a-nd Green Valley had alsobeen destroyed. Sheridan's column had swept by Richmond,/Early Wa-j ordered back to Slaunton,


and was thereat the time of the evacuation of this city. Upon hear- ing of this event, ho hastenedto,' LyncHburg, anl thence towards Southwestern Virginia, where, ranking Geh. Echols, he tookcl)mmand of the. forces that were retreating before Stoneman and Thomas. When last heardfrom, being unable to (vithstand the forces in his front and aftaid ot Gea. Grant in his rear, he haddeflected to the right a.nd was apparently making for the Kanawha Valley. It is doubtful whether hehas yet become aware of tjie surrender of Gen. Lee. We look with interest for tidings' from him andhis command. WHERE IS EARLY:' Gen. Sheridan routed Early at Waynesboro' about the middle ofMarch and put him individually upon a most tremtndous race, which concluded bybrinf- ing him upin Richmond, atfended by one of his 8tafi", sans coat, hat and alnlost cYerytbing.
