AN INTERESTING LETTER.
r,AT1IV Elmcott City, Md., AprU 18, 18G7.
COLTON IRNTAL ASSOCIATIOW,
737 Walnut street, Philadelphia.
1 Qontlemen: Desiring to do an act of Justice
j ,lont tuo founder of your association,
jand r7l orijnnaior of tbe use of Nitron Oxide
lias for the painless extraction of teeth, I give
you my experience with Its one. You extracted
lour Jaw teeth for me without the slightest pain
or unpleasant after-symptoms. I toolt two
doses of the gas at one sitting (without leaving
the chair), for the purpose of ascertaining if so
large a quantity would giro rise to unpleasant
symptoms. The effect was altogether very
agreeable. I felt as if I had enjoyed a refresh
ing sleep.
For my wife yon extracted two Jaw teeth. She
was at the tluie in very delicate health, and
.tillering from great debility and nervous pros
tration. She experienced no pain, and no un
pleasant symptoms followed the administration
of the gns.
I have sent over a hundred persons to yon,
and in no case has there been pain or unplea
sant results. In one or two instances, where
persons have gone to other parties, unpleasant
symptoms followed. This was probably attri
butablo to Inexperience in the manufacture
nd administration of the gas. During the late
war I had large experience in the use of chloro
form, ether, etc lhere is always more or less
danger attending the use of those agents, and
their administration is frequently followed by
nausea and nervous prostration.
Tbe Nitrous Oxide Gas, as made and admin
uttered bp pou, is entirely devoid , of all danger,
even to the most delicate female, and Is plea
Bant and eOlclent.
Very respectfully,

The Wreck op the New Ironsides What
IS to bk donk with it. All that remains of
this famous Iron-clad the pride of the "Quaker
City" con be detected only by the blackened
bow which rises Just above the water in tbe
Delaware, where she sank. Its Iron walls, so
formidable, against which the guns of Sumter
hurled forth their Iron storm in vain have an
Inglorious resting place in a muddy bed. The
ruined hull of the New Ironsides after the fire
oi last winter, with some remains of its iron
masts and Iron sides, was an object which could
be seen for soraedlstance away from her resting
. place off Leagno Island; but gradually she has
gone down in the mud until tbe waters of the
Delaware have almost hid her from view.
A disposition of the Iron bull has at last been
effected. Mr. Thompson, of New York, having
purchased tbe remains of the Government for
945,000, will soon commence to raise the hull.
To do this tbe labors of submarine workmen
will be called Into requisition, and tbe iron, as
It is raised, will be forwarded to New York and
remanipulated by the owner Into massive iron
targets for the use of the United States.
A Benefactor. One and all who have been

offenders has become a pleasant and painless
operation. ' The use of Nitrous Oxide Gas, of
which Dr. Col ton is the originator, has become
one of the most nseful and Important benefac
tions to the people. More than twenty thousand
In this city an army of people who testify to
Its refreshing powers have taken this Oas, and'

The Rivkraidr itrsTiTtms iron Soldiers
and Bailors' Orphans. The plan of tha
Washington Library Company for the endow
ment of the Riverside Institute meets with
gcneial approval and encouragement from U
quarters. The Commissioner of Internal Reve
nue, and Ihe highest legal ofllciala In the State
of Pennsylvania and the county of Philadel
phia, would certainly have withheld their sanc
tion from It If they bad not been satisfied with
the honesty and uprightness of those associated
With tbe affair. The Washington Library Com
pany bare no ooncealments, will shelter them
selves behind no subterfuges. Tbe enterprise
they have undertaken Is so noble, so patriotic,
And so entwined around the hearts of every
American man, woman, and child, that neither
fraud nor deoeptlon are required to insure its
success. Let us examine the proposed plan of
operation. Stripped of all tbe accessories of
language necessary to eluoldate, the plan Is
simply this; Subscriptions of Oue Dollar are
elicited, for which a certificate of stock is given,
which entitles the holder to an engraving
worth, at retail, at least fifty per cent, more
than the money paid In, and a present besides.
Every stockholder receives some present. In
order that the undertaking may be made more
speedily available for the benefit of the sol
diers' and sailors' orphans, the Managers have
offered 1300,000 worth of presents, one of whioh
you are sure to receive, In addition to tbe
picture.
The principal office of the Company la at No.
1225 Chesnut street, on one of our most publlo
thoroughfares. Any Information or explana
tion will always be cheerlully given by officers
In attendance. Everything is fair, honest, and
above board. The object Is one which appeals
to every friend of the Union. The entire net
proceeds will be banded over for the endowment
of the Institute, and no individuals will be
benefited thereby. The funds, as received, are
paid over to the Receivers, Messrs. George A.
Cooke Jc Co., bankers, No. 33 S. Third street, and
we cannot conceive of any other checks and
safeguards which the Trustees could have
adopted to insure fairness and success.
AH tbat remains must be done by the people
themselves. Let them come forward and sub
scribe for the shares at once. Remember, that
the best monument we can raise to the memory
of our dead soldiers and sailors, Is a home for
their orphan children 1

Wataon Resides In Caroline county, Virginia, and
lived there In April, lr, at the same place where 1
live now: I knew Wilkes Booth; I saw him at my
fathers home two days, I think, before he
was killed there; he was brought there
by men named Jett and Buggies; I saw
Booth when he rode to the house; be came there
in the afternoon, and was on horseback; I cannot de
scribe tbe horse, as I don't remember what kind it
was; knew Harold; be came the day after Booth did;
when Booth came he remained In the house; the first
night he was very lame, and said bis leg was broken;
Booth remained about the bouse durlni the daj ; he
staid there until after dinner, and then some cavalry
came along, and be lett the house for a short while;
Booth went in the direction of too woods, and then
returned; when Booth came back Irorn the woods be
took supper at the house, and after supper he went to
tbe barn with Harold, and staid there until the cav
Blry came; I remember Booth having a pair of
ilstols, a bowle knife, and a field glass; Harold
lad a carbine; be came on foot;
(the field glass was exhibited; the witness recog
nized It as one similar to a glass Booth brought there;)
Booth left It at my father's house, and I saw It there;
1 caa't say that this Is the glaas, but It was one like it;
tbe place where Booth waa captured wai a large
tobacco house, with spaces left for the airing
of the tobaceo; tbe spaces were four Inches apart;
tbe baru contained bay and other articles (car
bines exhibited); the witness never examined them:
do not know tbat they are the same tbat Harold
brought; Harold's carbine, however, bad a siring
about It; when tbecavalry came np, they went to the
bouse, and seeing that I also went to the bouse, and
found some of the cavalrymen around my father;
when I stopped up C. R. Conger asked me where I
came from; I told him, and asked him who he was
In pursuit ot, and beaaid twomen.and I told him two
men were hid In the barn, and thai I would
take them (the soldiers) and show them where the
men were; a man named Baker told me to go In tha
barn and demand the surrender of Booth's arms; I
did so. and Booth said I bad betrayed him, and that
be would shoot me unless I left; I then went out aud
told Biker, and he said be would have to burn the
barn; 1 told blm If be would wait till morning tne
men could be taken without burning tbe baru; I was
then ordered by Baker to pile brush about the barn,
and wh lie doing so , Booth came to a ora v Ice and said,
he warned me for my own gojd tnat be would shoot
sue unless I stopped; the barn was subsequently fired,
and afterwards Mr. Baker and I went Into the barn
was before, how be came there, and never knew who-
be was before that. No cross-examination.
Mr. Bradley said It was understood that all this tes
timony was subject to the objection of the defense.

The Trial of Smratt.
CbnMucd from Third Edition. "
. WiHnciTO!f, June it.
Colonel Everton J. Conger was then cai.ed and ex
amined hy Mr. Plerrepont, The witness is now a
Mimer In Richland county, Ohio, but was In lsj a
soldier and Lieutenant-Colonel of lhi Second Pistrlct
ot Columbia Cavalry, Witness was asked to describe
the rupture of Booth, and aald when be went to Oar
retl's house lie was accompanied by Byron, Baker.
Lieutenant Doberty, sixteen cavalry mn, a m an
panied KAWllngs, and a man uamed Jett.
There was sergeant named BXton Corbett.
Jett went with us to show where
Garrett lived. When the witness and
company got there they wers inlormed that
ooth and Harold were In the barn. Witness posted
lb a'ounn ine nam, anu jtakersnld to those In
IbeW "rn "1Bt tlieT proposed to send Garrett In to get
their k'rn,si Garrett went In, and came back saying;
thai be bad De driven out; Baker then told Booth
that If u8 "eu'd not como out thoy would
fire tha b,,rni n(1 Garrett waa sent to pile
brush abon. 'i which he did until Bootli
warned him 'r und,r Perl1 of being shot;
Booth then said that he was a crippled mau, and he
nld tie wanted a chance lor his life, and If tbe men
weredrawn off Hi. -yyarua, n wouiu come out ana
fight them singly; C.nS,'r tol(l '''n they did not come
there to parley, but th.'-t they wanted the men Inch
barn 10 surrender; Kooth' then said that a man In there
wanted to come out, and Baker said be should pass
his arms out: Harold then came to the door
and said b bad no arms; Booth said the anna
were bis, and be had kei.'t tbem. The witness
then fired tbe barn: and Booth went around
as though lie wanted to put ont the lire,
but a granceniitlsfied him that he could not
Tbe wllneas then described the shooting or Doom
bis death, and bis dying wordn: "Tell mother I died
for my country, and tell mother I did all for what I
believed to be the best." It was another sintonirnt
ot what Is already known as It came ont In the trial
of tiie conspirators. The witness then described tbe
articles taken from Booth, which were, besides the
carbines, two seven shooting revolvers, a large new
bowle knife, a box compass, bills of exchange on a
Canada bank, and a diary. The diary waa lorlHA4,
and many of the leaves were cut Irom It; tha
leaves In many parts were cut out; from
the appearance they appear to bave
been cut out at different tlnfts; tney may have been
cui oui a me same time, out it was ny aitrereni outs,
as the stumps of the leaves were uneven; I have seen
the diary recently when I was summoned before tha
Judiciary Committee, and It was then In the same
condition as when taken from Booth's person; I would
know tbe diary again ir I saw It: among other things
found od Booth were some daguerreotypes, soma
tobacco. aCathollo medal, and a plu, lnorloed "Dan
Bryant to J. W. Booth;" the pin was straight when I
got it, but was bent while hi my possession. (Pin ex
hlblted.) The witness recognized it as tbe one taken
from Booth's person. (Diary exhibited.) The witness
recognised it as the diary taken from the person of
Booth. The leaves are cut out for the dates betweeu
June, 1864, and August, 1hs4.
Mr. Pierrepont then read tha extracts from Booth's
diary, all oi which have been already published, add
It was offered In evidence. (The diary waa published
between the loth aud 2otb ot May.)
Mr. Pierrepont proposed to read a letter found In
the diary. The witness could not Identify It as a part
of the diary. It commenced, "My dear," aud then a
piece was torn out, and Mr. Pierrepont said they
would not read it until identified by Mr. Baker.
Tbe diary was then submitted to the Jurors, and
examined by them.
Mr. Bradley said they desired that the diary and
whatever was put In evidence, should remain la the
custody of the Court, so that the defense could at any
time have access to them.
It was ordered that the Clerk of tha Court should
take charge of all such articles put In evidence.
The witness then resumed, and after examining a
number of articles. Identified a large bowle knife and
Rheatb, and a compass, as having been taken from
Booth, and a piece oi map taken from Harold,
The articles named were thou submitted to the
Jurors lor their Inspection, and weie oQered la evi
dence. Cross-examined by Mr. Bradley On the trial at tha
Arsenal I was not Interrogated as to the articles
taken from Booth; I was shown certain articles and
afked If I bad taken tbem from Booth's person; I was
not asked to name all ihe articles I took from Booth's
fierson, and I do not recollect tbat I was asked about
he diary; I examined the diary coming up on the
steamer, and It is now In tbe same condition as it was
then: the diary was given to Mr. Stanton, Secretary
ol War.
Q. will you examine the diary and stats If some of
the leaves In the diary do not appear to bave been cub
out after others were T . . ..
Tbe witness examined the dlarv, and said he could
not see any difference in the cutting; the diary .was In
my possession Irom 8 o'clock A.M. until 4 o'clock:
P.M.; I gave it to Mr. Stanton, and did not see It
again until I was summoned before tne Judiciary
Committee about six weeks ago: I saw the diary arter
that at the oflice ot the Judge Advocate-General: that
was on April in: I examined tbe diary carefully;
I had examined It while In Judge Holt's possession
before I went to the Judiciary Committee; 1 think I
took tbe diary irom Booth's person; I think I have
stated nearly all Booth said after be was shot; he
asked lor water, and said bis tbroat appeared to be
stopped up; I don't remember that Booth said Harold
ha nothing to do with It; such tftln mlgbthavd
bren said, but I do not remember It. and I do not re
member saving so at tbe conspiracy trial: I recoenlza
tbe carbine Irons a mark made by the saddle on the
breach; tbe mark looks as though It bad been worked
by a nail or some hard substance on the saddle; suoU
marks are often made, and I took this mark
to identify It without making another mark;
I identity tbe compass by the box and shape, and by
the tallow mark on tbe Inside; I identify the knife by
a spot of rust about two-thirds of the way from tha
hilt: it Is the same shape aud style of knife tbat was
taken from Booth; I have never seen many of Just
such style and manner of knlte: I do not know
tbat any name was on the knife, but I ae
now that It Is called a "Rio Grand Camp
Knife;" I have no means of Identifying the
knlte eaceptby tbe rust mark; I know nothing;
about Booth's horse when I found him: I heard BootU
say nothing of his horse: my recollection Is tbat at tba
conspliacy trial certain things were placed before me,
and 1 was asked If "I bad taken tbem from Booth?''
no question was asked me about the diary before I
went upon the witoess stand; I read the diary at that
time.
By Mr. Pierrepont. The carbines were loaded, and
drew tbe loads at tbe War Departmeut.
By Mr. Merrick The diary came Into our posses
sion at 6 o'clock; I think I took It from Booth's per
son; I hand it and other articles to the Secretary of
War, the carbines were brought np afterwards; no
one came up on the boat with me after Booth's death.
At l'i'80 the Court took a recess ofbalf-an-hour.
Amongst the visitors at the Surratt trial to-day are
the Hon. N. B. Judd and Robert Lincoln, sou of the
late President.
The Indian War.
St. Loots, June 25. Omaha despatches report
a general cessation of Indian hostilities a Ion of
the Platte route. General Augur has reached
Fort Laramie from Fort Morgan, all well.
Captain Mix's company, after scouting tha
Iieaaw-atersof the Republican river in all direc
tions for eight days, going one hundred miles
south, returned to Fort SeUgwiok on Saturday,
having seen no Indians nor any sign of them.
General Potter returned from Pole Oreete
crossing, after an absenoe ot four days, without,
seeing any Indians.
Colonel Green, with five companies of in
fan try and cavalry, left Fort Phil Kearney June)
4, with supplies for Fort C. F. Smith, nine miles
north, with v hloh post communication had
been cut off all i lie winter. The Indians seeta
to have left the Platte valley, some going Nortt
and West, and others South. The latter are un
doubtedly those who made the raid on tha
Rmoky Ilill route and the Kansas and I'aclIIo
Hallway on Saturday last. Outrages on the
Arkansas, and in the vlolnlty of Fort Dodge,
and along tbe Santa Fe route are reported, and
it is not impossible that the theatre of war will
be changed from the Platte and Bmoiy Hill to
tbe Arkansas and country south of it.
A St. Joseph special says that General Terry
and General Bherman haveeaoh written letters
to tbe Governor of Dakotah. advising the post
ponement of the con teni plated exploring expe
dition to the Black Hills. They say lhat that
country is still conceded ae Indian land, and
any attempt to occupy " by the whites will be
resiHted by the Indians, and that in the present
condition of affairs the Government cannot
furnish protection. The telegraph line from
Fort Cooper to South Pass, a distance of 175
miles is now aud has been for two weeks iu the
bands of Ihe Indians.
