To prevent their es cape from the river, a formidable fleet o, Federal iron clads has been, for some tirite stationed at the mouth of the river. At nine o'clock on the evening of April 33 the Webb # one of the Confederate rams, came down Red river, and though every attempt was made to stop it, passed through the Federal fleet and out into the Mississippi. The current was strong, and it tailed down the Mississippi at • 'high rate of speed. At half past six on the morning of April 24, it passed an upward hound steamsr, fifty miles above New Or leans. Sixty-four general officers of various grades surrendered with Johnston's army. They are the following ; Generals P. T. G. Beau rsgard, and Joseph E. Johnston, Lieut. Gens. Win. J. Hardee.

Seven hun drsd and eighty six soldiers, many however badly injured, have been rescued. Nine hundred Confederates have surren dered at Cumberland Gap, and many more •re coming in. These men come mostly from Ftat Tennessee and Southwestern Virginia. General £ Palmer has issued an order pro tscting the people of Kentucky from unjust arrests. The war is ended. All the Confederate troops east of the Mississippi, excepting a •mall force between Tupelo and Corinth, commanded by General Taylor, have laid down their arms. The Confederates west of the Mississippi are negotiating a surrender. There ought to begmcre fighting ; for every drop of blood shed now by either side, will be uselessly spilled. The marching and countermarching is over, and there is nothing loft for us to chronicle. Two iron clads, one tn the Mississippi and one on the Atlantic; a few bands of partisans scattered over the South ; a fugitive President with his body guard, all that Is . left of the great Amer ican rebellion. The task marked out by us nearly three years ago. has come to • conclusion. The peace to long and earnestly sought for by every American, is dawning brightly. Our pes is no longer needed to write the daily history and progress of the war, and to day we close these articles, which, we trust, hare rendered plain the mysterious accounts cf battles and marches that have so often pouted the world. The first war article was bogun on the battle field of Gettysburg, in the summer of 1863, and since then they have continued day after day, with ne in'er rsption. No pains have been spared to •sake the dally summary as complete and truthful as possible; and now that the end fa come, and the soldier hands his almost finished task over to the statesman, we trust that neither our pen nor any other may ever be needed to trace the events of another American war.

WASHINGTON, April 27.—The Star has the following particulars of Booth's death : "To Colonel L. C. Baker, pecial detective of the War Department, and his admirably trained detective force, and to the New York cavalry, active participators in the seirures, the country owes a debt of gratitude for this timely service- It seems that a detachment of the 16th New York cavalry, numbering about lis men, which waa despatched from the city oa Monday, under direction of Col. L.C. Baker, special detective of the War Departmedf, in command of Lieutenant Dougherty accompanied by one of Colonel Baker's officers, captured and killed Booth, and captured Harrold, one of his accomplices all/e. The cavalry after leaving here, landed at Belle Plain in the night, and siarted out in pursuit of Booth and Harrold, having previously ascertained from a colored man that they had crossed the river iato Virginia at Swan Point in a small canoe, lured by Booth from a tnau for S3OO. Pro ceeding on towards Bowling Green, some three miles form Port Royal, Lieutenant Dougherty, who was in command of the cav alry. discovered that Booth and Harrold w-re secreted in a large barn, owned by a man named Garrett, and were well armed.— The cavalry then surrounded the barn and i-uminoned him aDd his accomplices to sur render. Ilarrold was inclined at first to accede to the request, but Booth accused him of cow ardice. Then they both peremptorily refus ed to surrender and made preparations to defend themselves. In order to take the conspirators alive, the barn was fired, and the flames getting too hot for Harrold he approached the door of the barn and signified his willingness to be takeu prisoner. The door was then opened sufficiently to allow Ilarrold to put his arms through that he might be handcuffed, and as au officer was about placing Iho irons upon Ilarrold'* wrists, Booth fired upon the party from the barn, which was returned b> Sergeant Bar tn Col belt, of the 16 b New York, the ball striking Booth in the neck, fiom the effect* of which he died in abou> four hour*. Booth before breathing hit la*t. was asked if he had any ! hingto say, when he replied, "Teli my mother that 1 died for my country." Harrold and tho body of Booth were brought into Belle Plain at eight o'clock last night and reached the navy yard here at one o'clock this morning, on board the steamer John S. Ides, Captain Henry Wilson. The stateincni heretofore published that Booth bad injured one of his legs by falling off his horse, has proved to be correct- After he was shot it wa* discovered that one of his legs was badly i jured arid that he was compelled to wear an old shoe and vse crutches, which he had with him in the barn. Booih was shot about four o'clock in the morning and died about seven o'clock. Booth had upon his person some bills of exchange, bw only about $175 in Treasury uotes. Itappears that Booth and Ilirrold left Washington together on the night of the murder of President Lincoln, and passed through Leonardtjwn, Md.,concealing them ■elves in the vicinity until an opportunity was afforded tht m to cross the river at Swan Point, which they did as above stated. The mail who hired Booth and his accomplice the boat in wbich they crossed the river was cap)urea, we understand, but afterwards made his escape. Harrold has been lodged in a secure place. Bowling Green, near which place B<>olh was killed, is a post village, the capital of Caro line county, Virginia, on the road from Rich mond to Fredericksburg, forty-five miles north of the former, and is situated in a fei> tile and wealthy region. It contains tsro churches, three stores, two mills, and about three hundred inhabitants. Port Royal is a post village in Caroline county, Virginia, on the right bank of the Rappahannock river, twenty-two miles be !ow Fredericksburg. It has a population of six hundred, and there is a good steamboat landing near the place. ATTEMPTED ESCAPE OT BOOTH AND HARROLD WASHINGTON. April 27.—The Star in a late edition has the following • Booth and Harrold reached "Garrett's" s<>me days ago. Booih walking on crutchc*. A party of four or five accompanied them, who rpoke of Booth as a wounded Mary lander on his way home, and that they wish ed to leave him there a short time, and wo'd take him away on the 26th (yesterday.}} Booth limped somewhat, and walked on crutches about the place, complaining of his ankle. lie and Harrold regularly took their meala at the house, aud Booth kept up ap pea ranees well. One day at the dinner table the conversa tion turned on the a'sassination of the Pres idenl, when Booth denounced the assassins tion in the severest terms, saying that thre was no punishment severe enough for the perpetrator. A< another time some one said in his presence that rewards amounting to two hundred thousand dollars had been offered for Booth, and that he would l>ke to catch hun, when Booth replied, "Yes, it would be a good hand, but the amount will doubtless be increased to five bund ed thoua and dollars." The two Garre'ts, who lived on the piece, •liege that they had no idee that these par ties (Booth mt4 H*rrold) were any other than what theft Wends represented tbetn* selves—paroled ifbel soldiers on their way home.t They also say that when the cav ry appeared in that neighborhood, and they heard that they were looking for the assasains they ant word to then that these two men were on the place; In other words they as-, scrt that they are entirely innocent •of giv ing the assassin* any aid or comfort, know ing thorn to be socb. The Ida, a tugboat, reached hereabout two o'clock this morning, with Harrold and the two young men above referred to, as well as the body of Booth. Harrold was immediately placed in a safe place* Thus far, it ia stated, he has manifested no dispo sition to speak oftheaflair, but as he was known as a very talkative young man, he may soon resume the use of his tongue. Broth and Harrold were dressed in rebel grey uniform. The stuff is new. Harrold was otherwise not disguised much. Booth's moustache had been cut off apparently with scissors, and his beard allowed to grow, changing hia appearance considerably. His hair had been cut somewhat shorter than be usually wore it. Booth's body, which we have before de scribed, waa at once laid out on a bench and a guard placed over it. The lips of the corpse are tightly compressed, snd the blood has settled in the lower part of the face snd neca. Otherwise the face is pale and wears a wild, haggard look, indicating exposure to the elements snd s rough time generally in his skulking flight. His hair is disarranged and dirty, and apparently had not been comb ad since he took hia flight. The head and breast ia alone exposed to view, the lower portion of his body, including the hands snd feet, being covered with a tarpaulin thrown over it. The shot which terminated hia ac cursed life entered on the left side at the hack of the neck, a point curiously enough not far distant from that in which his victim, ur lamented Pres-dent, was shot. No orders have yet been given as to what disposition will be made of the body. Large numbers of persons have been seek ing admission to the navy yard to-day, io gel a sight of the body and bear the particu lars, but none excepting the workmen, the officers of the yard and those holding orders IKm the department are allowed to enter. A Spencer carbine, which Booth bad with him in the barn at the time lie was shot by Sergeant Corbett. and a large knife, with blood on it, supposed to.be the one which Booth cut Major Rathbona with in the thea tre box on the night of the murder of Presi dent Lincoln, and which waa found on Booth's body, have been brought to lha city. The carbine and knife are now in the possession of Colonel Baker, at his offioe. The bills of exchange, which are for a eon •iderable amount, found on Booth's person, were drawn on banks in Canada October last. About that time Booth was ku<>wn to have been in Canada. It ts now thought that Booth's leg waa fractured in jumping from the box in Ford's Theatre upon the stage, ard not by the fall ing of his horse while rndeavojing to make his escape, as was at first supp .Bed. TMT CAFTL'NZD ASSASSINS. WAIIINOTON, April 27 —The greatest curi osity is manifested to view the body of the murderer Booth, which yet remain* on the gunboat in the stream off tha navy yard- Thousands of persons visited the yard to day in hopes of getting a glimpse at the murder er's remains, but none were allowed to enter who were nut connected with tha yard. The wildest excitement has existed here all day, and regrets are expressed.that B'oth was not taken alive. The nwa of Booth's desth reached the ears o f his mistress while she was in a street ca". which caused her to weep bitterly, and drawing a photograph likeness of the murderer fntn her pockst, kissed it fondly several times. Ilsrrold thus fsr has evaded every effort to be drawn into conversation by those who have necessarily came in contact with him since his capture, but his outward appearance indicates that he begins to realize the posi tion in which he is placed, and that there ia no hope for his escape from the awful doom that eertainly awaits him. His relatives and friends in this city are in the greatest dis tress over the disgrace that he has brought upon himself. RRRTHER DETAILS Of THE CAMTJTE. WASHINGTON, April 27— The fourth edition of the Star has the following further details in relatiou to the capture of Harrold and kiU ling of Booth ; The detachment of the 16th New York cavalry,under command of Lieutenant Dough erty, numbering 28 men, and accompanied by two of Colonel Baker's detective force, which went down the rivtr on Monday, obtained the first news of Booth at Port Royal on Tuesday evening, from an old man, who stat ed that four men in company with a rebel captain had crossed the Rappahannock a short time previous, going in the directioo of Bow ling Gieen, and added that the captain would probably be found at that place, aa be wea courting • lady there. Pushing on to Bowling Green, the captain was found at a hotel and taken into custody. From him it was ascertained that Booth and Harrold were at the bouse of John end Wil liam Garret, three miles back towards Port Royal, and about a quarter of a mile from the road passed over by tha cavalry. In tba meantime it appears that Booth and Harrold had applied to Garrett for hursea to ride to Louisa Court House, but the latter, fearing the horses would nut be retarned, refused them, notwithstanding the large sums offer ed. The recrimination, of Booth *nd Harrold, each charging the other with the reeponsibili ty of their difficultie*, had also aroused the suspicions of the Garrett brothers, who urg ed B'x>tb end Uarrold to leeve lest they (Gar rutta) should gat into trouble with our caval ry. Thia Booth refused tr do without a burse, and tbe two men.retired to the barn, which, after tbey bed entered, one of the Garrette locked, remaining ea guard himself in a neighboring corn crib, a he alleges, to prevent his horses from being taken and rid den off in the night by Booth and Harrold. Upon the approach of our cavalry from Bowling Green, about 3A. M., on Wednes day, the Garretts came out of the corn crib to meet them and in answer to their inquir ies, directed them to the barm. Booth waa at once summoned to aurrendt-r, but refuted. Harrold expressed a willingness to give him self up, but was overrnledfby Booth for some time, finally, however, surrendering, leaving Booth in the barn. The latter, assuming a defiant air called out to know the command ing officer and propoaed to him that the men should be drawn up at 30 yards distance, when he would come out and fight them After the barn bad been burning three quar ters of an hour, and the roof Was about to fall in, Booth, who had been standing with a revolver in one hand and a carbine resting on the floor, made a demonstration aa if to break through the guard and escape. To prevent this Sergeant Corbett fired, intend ing to hit Booth in the shouldef, so as to cripple him, the ball, howevar, striking a lit tle too high, entered the neck, resulting as btfor stated. Booth had in his possession the short, heavy bowie-knife with which he struck Major Ratbbum, s Spencer carbine, a seven shooter of Massachusetts manufacture, three revolvers and a pocket pistol. He wore, in additioa to his suit of gray, an ordinary cloth cap, a heavy, high topped cavalry boot on right leg, with the top turned down, and a government shoe on bis lelt loot. No clue could be obtained to the other two men ; so taking the two Garretts into custo dy, the command immediately set out for Washington, after releasing the captain. Lieut. Dougherty, who comtnauded the squadron, entered the service with the 71st New York militia. Sergeant Corbett, who shot Booth, vn baptised in Boston about seven year* ago, at which time he assumed the uaine of Boaton Corbelt. Today be baa been greatly lioniz ed, and on the street was repeatedly sur rounded by citizens, who occasionally mani feated their appreciation by loud chaera— The two Gar rate ere dressed in rebel gray, having belonged to Lee's ariny, and have just returned borne on parole. They profess to have been entirely ignorant of the character of Booth and Harrold and manifest grea< un easiness concerning thair connection with the affair. Bitoth and Harrold made a narrow escape from being captured on this side o| the Potoinae. Marshal Mm ray and a pojo-e of New York detectives tracked them > within a short distance of Swan Point, but but tba Marshall being unacquainted with the country and without a guide during the night, took the wrong road and before be could regain the trail, Booth and Harrold succeeded on costing the rtvar to the Vir ginia shore. The report tbet Booth attempted to shoot himself while in the ban is incorrect. He, however, in his parley with his besaiger*. indicated that be would not be taken alive. Hia manner throughout waa that of a harden ed desperado, knowing that his doom waa •aaled, and preferring to meet it there iu that shape, rather than by the more ignomin ious death awaiting him if captured. He ap peared to pav little attrntior to the fire rag ing about him until the roof began to fall in, when he made a movement indice'ing a pur pose to make tha desperata attempt to cu' hi* way out, and, perhaps, really hoped to sue ceed amid the smoke and confusion. It was this movement on his part thai •earns to have caused Corbett to fire the fa tal shot. Harri.ld before leaving the barn laid down his pistol, which waa immediately picked up by Booth, woo had it in his band at the time he waa shot. The pistol ued by Corbe it was the regu Isr large sized cavalry pistol. He was offer ed SI,OOO this morning fot the weapon with its fire undischarged loads. This afternoon Surgeon General Barnes, with an assistant, held an autopsy on the body of Booth. It now appears that Booth and Harrold had on clothing which was some other color than the Confederate gray ; but being faded at d dusty presented that appearance. Important Executive Order. The following important order has been is • sued by tbe President : EXECUTIVE OMOXR, EXECUTIVE CHAMBER, WASHIKGTOH, April 29.1865 Being deir ous to release all loyal citizens and well die posed persons residing in insurrecti'>nary States frtn unnecessary commercial restric tions, and to encourage them to return to peaceful pursues, it is hereby ordered.

AXBRBir JtHNSON. Valentin* Matt. The first surgeon of America is dead. Val entine Mott expired on Wedouidty evenir j at bis residence In New York city, in the 80iti year of his age. To his immense ffme he leave* no heir on this continent—scarcely a rival even in Europe. Beyond question >h* most original genius in surgery who spoke the English tongue, since John ilur.ter died it is doubtful whether even the.great French man who in the last half century has made Paris the school of the world in surgical sci ence, possessed greater powers of mind, or a more daring invention, or a more delicate!) taught hand, than Valentine Mott. Pupils in America he has many, but the greatest of them -bowed before the supremacy of hie master's talent. Not Carnochan nor Symmes nor Pancoast, nr Watren, not thecunmngest anatomists ol Philadelphia or New York or or Boston ever thought of reaching the first place in their profession till Mott bad relin quished it. But to-day the field is open to all comers. Valentine Mott was born at Glen Cove, L. I', August 20, 1785. He was graduated M. D. at Columbia College in 1806, then studied ! two years in London under Abernethy Astley Cooper and Cline; lie went then to Ed in burgh, where he spent a year. From 1809 to 1813 he was Professor of Surgery in Colum- j bta College, and therefter until 1826,he1d the j same chair in the College of SurgOutis, With au interval of four years service in the short lived Rutgers Medical College, he returned to the College of Phy ■icisHs and Surgeons, passing thence to the University Medical College, of which he was a founder, as Professor ol Surgery and Rela tive Anatomy. Of the latter science, immea surably important to surgery, ha is declared the authority; "is mainly due to his original operations as a surgeon. As early as 1818 Dr. Mott placed a ligature around the brach eocephalic trunk, or ateria innominate, only two inches from the heart, for aneurism of the right subclavian artery, for the first time iu the history of surgery. The patient sur vived the operation 26 days, indicated the feasibility of so dangerous an undertaking. He exsected the entire right clavicle for ma iignant disease of that bone, where was it necessary to apply 40 ligatures; an operation which Dr. Mott hiuiseli asserts to be the moat dangerous and difficult that can be per formed upon the human body. The patient is * till living, and enjoys perfect health. Dr Moti wv the first to tie the primitive iliac artery for aneurism. He has tied the com tuoti carotid 46 tttue-, cut for atone 165 times, mi d amputated nearly 1,000 limbs. He ear !y introduced his original operation for im mobility of the lower jaw, and succeeded af ter many eminent eurgt t a had faihd. In 1862 he per lot mad the first operation for oaten sarcoma of ine lower jaw. He was the firat surgeon who removed the lower jaw for necrosis," Of Dr. Mott the great Sir Ashley Cooper said : "He has performed more of the great operation* than any tnan living, u* that ever did live ." He translated and publm .ed m four volumes 8 vo, Ve peau's Operative Sur gery, then and now s leading work, snd nu merous papers and rejwrts of his have been printed both in Atuerioa and Europe, Ilis single lib me and fame have more than all others contributed to give celebrity in Eu rope to American surgical science, and what ib an infinitely higher eulogy, he has by Ihb own hands and by those of his pupils con (erred an incalculable lament upon American surgery, and so wrought steadily lor human ity ana for the alleviation ol human ills.— There are lew if any tiubl r spheres of action than that of the surgeon ; there are few if any surgeons in the world's history who have dune their beneficent woik better than Val entine Mott.--New York Tribune. Lieut* Gen. Grant's Philadelphia Residence The handsome furnished mansion on Went Chestnut street, purchased and fined up at a cost of £50,000 by the citizens of Philadel phia, as a present to our Lieutenant General, was opened on Saturday for inspection, and in the course of the day was visited by a large number of ladies and gentleman.

GREAT EPIDEMIC IN RUSSIA. THE PLAGUE OF ATHENS REPEATED. IT* COURSE PROM SIBERIA SOUTH* WARD. Nature of the Ulicut, he From the Lirerpeel he An epidemic resembling in iti fatility the Asiatic cholera has for come month* deviate ted the interior of Russia. Apparently tak ing it* origin in Siberia, it be* gr*dually ■wept down southward, spreading mere widely on either aide as it advanced. A* yet it has completely baffled the *kill of the Russian physician*, and of thosa professor* of medicine who hare proceeded from Ger many to study it* symptoms. In maaj re* •pccis this epidemic resembles the celebrated pisgue of Athens, which decimated Attica in the second and third years of the Peiopow* nessian war. Like it, the epidemic belongs to the class of ertiptivc typhoid disorder*.— T <e person seized immediately despairs of re- C rory ; he looses memory and hope togetbar Like it, too, the Siberian fever is accompan ist < generally by a hoarse cough and violent stretching, and the victim seldom survives beyond the ninth da)'. There is some diffl* culiy in obtaining a reliable account of the d ses'-e, for the Russian officials, never very C immunicaitive, have endeavored to coneeal the existence of ibe disease. But it be* t urhed one or two towns in Austria and Prussia, and rages at St. Petersburg. The deaths in the latter city are acknowledged te amount to eighty or one hundred per day, but it is suspected they are five timet a* numerous. The disease i* said to bsve as sumed a mitigated form in Germany, but very great alarm prevails throughout the con tinent. Men hoped that with the Asiatic cholera the last great scourge of the human, race had passed away.but they suddenly find themselves confronting a pestilence which' advances as rapidly as a prairie conflagration floating on the rivers and borne on the air.— Apprehension, too,as in the case of the Asia!- ic cholera, predisposes to the disease.

The subject of the above notice was one ef the oldest and most highly respected eitisens ef our B-irough. He was born in New H tmpsfcire. Nearly fifty yea- • ago, he left his native state, and as • young Physician settled in this country. No rich, fruitful fields, nor stately residences met the eye ef the young emigrant. A wild and almost unbroken vildercess was before him, with only here end there n log cabin, inhabited by some hardy pioneer. T* these he found his way only by a rough bridle path, whose course had been traced bat a few yeeig be fore bv the indian. Under such circumstances he commenced with all the ardor of a beginner, in • strange country—the practice of his profession.— By patient, and often unrequitted toil; bv the strictest integrity, honesty end frugality; he seeur* I ed a competency, which enabled him to spend the I evening of his life in comparative eeee end content ment.
