Traitors Must be Punished.
The murder of our lenored Presi
dent-has been partially avenged by
the billing of the assassin Booth; and
the arrest of some of 'his 'accomplices;
but we cannot consider the deed as
fully avenged until all connected with
its scheming and perpetration shall
have satisfied the demands of justice.
The 'instigators of the atrocious plot
Ind act should be ferreted out to the
,
mast extreme extent, so that the
world may see that a 'crime of such
:gross magnitude can bo dealt with ef
fectually by our Government. The
_assassin Booth was the instrument to
.e used at the pleasure and command
of other traitors, as vile in thought if
not so bold in the perpetration of deeds
of horror. While Booth has perished
the death'his crime,did not merit 7 -be,
'cause instant shooting_ to death was
too mild,—we_ have_ cause to think
those who actuated him to the com
'inittal of 'the murder will feel the hal
ter around their necks.
The traitors must and will be pun
ished,.and to permit the least guilty one
of the participants in the assassination
of President Lincoln to go unpunished
will disfigure the virtue of self-govern
taint, give countenance and security
to treason and error, and permit the
deeds of murder to increase ten-fold in
horror and destruction. Deal with
:the traitors summarily but justly, and
we will-thus hayza an effectual remedy
for the evils•. oflreason, anti secure
safety to _ our - rulers and .the govern.
The atroeious deed of treason com
mitted. by Booth showed . us to what
extent the teachings of rebel sympa
thizers in the past four years has led
its blind and infatuated listeners. Bi
tending thus far,its enormity has awa
kened the Masses of the people, and
they now-entertain the patriotic spirit
whioh prompts and encourages the im•
mediate punishment of the word or
died perpetrators of 'treason. Let this
pirit he upheld and strengthened, and
treason must go down.
The War Ended;
We have been hailed with more glo
rious news fromour armies, and in the
• II 11 4 136- . 1 .--PIJ”-M-9 0 , , ,.. give
place to . seme rejoicing. Gen. Joseph
Johnston, commander of the rebel for
ces in North Carolina, has surrendered
the 'same to Genl. William Tecumseh
herman through General Ulysses S.
Grant. The terms of surrender are
the same as'those aCcepted by General
Lee. Thus ends the rebellion. • -The
two greatest armies mustered for its
maintenance having 'l3een disarmed
alid disbanded, the traitor leaders have
no other effectual support, and there
• fore must succumb.• While the rebel
Generals are hors de combat, the rebel
rulers and governors are fleeing from
their selfacknowledged capitals and
territory, to seek refuge and secrecy
in some foreign dominion. Davis and
his Cabinet, it is said, are making rapid
, strides for, Mexico; but to that coun
try they have many miles to travel,
s nd the probability is, the arch traitor
Davis, like his bloody brother in crime
and villainy, assassin Booth, will bo
placed in such a positiOn cre'reaching
,Mexico that be, with his colleagues,
'will be compelled to yield, alive or
dead. The fact that Davis and hie
ellow-wretches are fleeing is very sug
gestive that they know their cause is
ost, and that they are' conscious of
having done wrong, just as much as
the assassin Booth, who immediately
fled the vigilance of Justice and' the
'lawful claims .of revenge. !"The wicked
flee when no man pursueth," says
Scripture, and . the truthfulness of the
proverb is made strikingly manifest
in the case of Jeff and hid followers. '

The - Poisoning of Andrew Johnson.
We find the following paragraph in
Wilkes Spirit of the Times, and while
considering the events of the past few
weeks we are led to believe that the ex
traordinary conduct of Vico President
Johnson on the 4.ili of March last can •
be attributed to otter - causes than li
quor alone. Accumulating evidence
being elicited • from - the investiga
tion of the calamity that we now
Mourn may criminate parties that
sought the destruction of Andrew
Johnson by the poisonous bowl.:
"There can'be but little doubt loft in
the minds of those who have atten
tively perused . the details of the plot
to assassinate the leaders of the gov
ernment, that Andrew Johnson, who
has endured so much undeserved ob
loquy for his singular aberration on
the 4th of March, was on that occasion
under the influence, not of . spirituous
liquors, not either of more disturbing
drug; intended 'Only to disfigure shim,
but of .a deadly,poison, furtively , in
sinuated in his drink. with a view to
take his life.. It is in proof that the
assassinations were to have been per
petrated on the 4th of March, and that
Booth, the chief assassin, had - posted'
himself in a position whore Air. Lin- ,
coin must pass closely by, and it was!
doubtless expected that, about the
time when the President should have
perished by the pistol, the new Vice
President would have expired in the
Capitol from the effects of the potion
he had taken. Probably this view of
the matter has never struck the mind
of Mr. Johnson, and it is not to bo sup
posed that under the mystery of that
strange occurrence, which must have
puzzled him more than anybody else,
he would care to allude to the affair
with any attempts at explanation that
might have been misunderstood. The
disclosure of the instructions distribu
ted among the assassins, that "they
were at liberty to use the blade, the
pistol, or the. bowl, but they must bear
in mind the tatter had once failed," seems
to be conclusive upon this point, and
will doubtless suggest some important
recollections to the President's mind.
His powerful nature , triumphed over
the infernal draught, and thus, in ad
dition to an invaluableilfe being saved
to the within; - we 'are - gratified *in the
conviction, that one who has always
been a sober, solfrespectingstatesman,
is now providentially relieved from
even a passing aloud on his career."
IMPORTANT ORDERS.—The following
orders have been promulgated from
the War Department, in relation to
reducing the expenses of the military
establishment; and which look to the
speedy termination of the war:
Ist, To reduce the expenses of the
respective bureaus of the department,
in view of an immediate reduction of
the forces in the field and garrisons.
2d, To discharge all ocean transports
not 'squired, and to stop the purchase
of horses, mules, wagons, and other
land transportation.
3d, To stop the purchase of supplies,
except what is needed for the forces
in the field to the Ist of June next.
4th, To stop the purchase of arms,
ammunition and ordnance. •
sth, To stop work on all field forti
fications and other works, except those
for which specific appropriations havo
been made by, Congress for comple
tion.,
6th, To honorably discharge from
service all soldiers in hospitals who re
quire no further Medical treatment,
with immediate payment. All priso
ners of war, now on furlough or at pa
role camps, and all recruits in rendez

will also be honorably discharged.
xlifir Some of the copper.bottomod
"Democratic" papers aro whining be.

tizans have been maltreated for disloy

a - tbe assassination of the President.
We deprecate mobs and mob law for

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
A Mississippi Steamer Blown Up with
Two Thousand Soldiers on Board.
The steamer Sultana from New Or

arrived at Vicksburg with her boilers
leaking badly. She remained there
thirty hours repairing, and had took
on 1,996 Federal soldiers and thirty
five-officers, lately released from Ca
tawba and Andersonville prisons. She
arrived at Memphis last evening, and,
after coaling, proceeded. About two
o'clock A. it., when seven miles above
Memphis, she blew up, and immedi
ately took fire, burning to the water's
edge. Of 2,106 souls aboard not more
than 700 have been rescued. Five
hundred were rescued, and are now in
the hospital. Two or three hundred
uninjured are at the Soldiers' Home.
Captain Meson, of the Sultana, is sup
posed to be lost.

investigating the affair.

SURRENDER OF HARROLD,
BOOTH SHOT IN THE NECK
WASHINGTON, April 271%
To Col. S. C. Baker, Special De
tective of the War Department, and
his admirably trained detective force,
and to the New York Cavalry, active
participants in the seizures, the coun
try owes a,debt of' gratitude for this
timely service.
It seems that a detachment of the
16th N. Y. Cavalry, numbering about
25 men, which was despatched from
this city on Monday, under direction
of Col. S. C. Baker, special detective
of the War Department, in command
of Lieut. Dougherty, accompanied by
some of Col. Baker's officers, captured
and killed Booth, and captured Har
rold, ono of accomplices, alive..
The cavalry, after leaving here,
landed at Bello Plain in the night,
and immediately started out in pur
suit of Booth and Harrold, having
previously ascertained from a colored
man that they had crossed the river
into Virginia,at Swan Point, in a small
cane() hired by Booth from a man for
three hundred dollars.
Proceeding on towards Bowling
Green, some three miles from Port
Royal, Lieutenant Dougherty, who
was in command of the cavalry, dis
covered that Booth and Harrold were
secreted in a largo barn, owned by a
man named Garrett, and were well
armed.
The cavalry then surrounded the
barn, and summoned him and his ac
complice to surrender. Herr°ld IN'as
inclined at first to accede to the re
quest, bup Booth adeused him . of cow:
ardice. ben they both peremptori
ly refused 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 taken
prisoner. The door was then opened
sufficiently to allow HarrOld to put his
arms through, that he might be hand
cuffed, and as an officer , was about
putting the irons on him Booth fired
upon the party from the barn, which
was returned by Sergeant Boston Cor
bett, of the 16th New'York, the ball
striking Booth in the neck, from the
effects of which he died, in
.about 4
hours. Booth, before breathing his
last, was asked if he bad any thing to
say, when ho replied. "Tell my moth
er that I died for my country." Har
rold and the body of Booth were
brought into, Belle Plain at 8 o'clock
last evening and reached the navy
yard hero at 10 o'clock this, morning,
on board the steamer John Ides; Capt.
Henry Wilson.
The statement heretofore published
that, Booth had injured one of hie legs
by falling off hie horse has proved to
be correct. After he was, shot it was
discovered that one of his legs was
badly injured and that he was COIT,
polled to wear an old shoo and use
crutches, which he had with him on
the feria. Booth was shot .about
o'clock in the morning and died about
10. He had upon his person some
bills of exchange, but only about
8175:in Treasury notes.
It appears that Booth and. Harrold
left Washington together on the night
of the murder of President Lincoln,
and passed through Leonardstown,
31d., concealing themselves in the vi
cinity until an opportunity was affor
ded them to cross the river. at Swan
Point, which they did as above stated.
Tho man who hired Booth and his
accomplice the boat in which he-cross
ed the, river was captured, but we
understand. afterwards made his es
cape. Harrold has been lodged in a
secure place.
Booth and Harrold were dreased
in Confederate grey uniforms; the
stuff is new. Harrold was otherwise
not disguised much. Booth's ;UPl's-
Who had beep cut off apparently by
scissors, and his beard 'allowed 'to
grow. changing his appetiranee con
siderably. His hair had been cut
somewhat shorter than 'he general—
ly wore it.
Bowling Green, near whiCh place
Booth was killed, is a post village,.
the capital of Caroline county, Va.,
on the road' from Richmond to Fred
ericksburg,4s miles north of the for
mer, and s situated in a fertile and
healthy i
region.

MORE INCIDENTS
Washington, April 27.-- 2 11 e fourth
edition of the Star has the following
farther details, in relation to the cap,.
turo of 'Harold and killing of Booth :
The detachment of the 18th NoW
York Cavalry, under Lieut. Doherty,
numbering 28 Men; and accompanied
by two of Col. Baker's detective force,
which 'Went down to the river On MOn-:
day, obtained the first news of Booth
at Port Royal, on Tuesday evening,
from an old man, who stated that four•
men, in company with a rebel captain,
had crossed the Rappahannock a short
time previous, going inthe direction
of Bowling Green, and added that the
1 captain could probablY bo found at
that place; as he was courting a lady
there. Pushing on to Bowling Green,
the captain was found at a hotel, and
taken into custody. From him it ivas
ascertained that Booth and Harold
were at the house of John and Wm.
Garrett, three miles back towards Port
Royal, and about a' quarter of a mile
from the road passed over by the car . ,
airy. In the meantime, it appears
that Booth and liardld bad applied to
Garrett for horses to ride to Louisa
Court House, but the latter, fearing
the horses.would not bo returned, re,
fused them, notwithstanding the large
sums offered. ' .
The recriminations of Booth and
Harold ; each charging the other with
the responsibility:a their difficulties,
had also aroused the suspicions of the
Garrett brothers, who urged Booth
and Harold to leave, lest they (Gar
ri3tts) should get into trouble with our
cavalry. This Booth refused to do
without a horse, and the two men re
tired to the barn, which, after they had
entered, ono of the Garrotte locked, re
maining on guard himself in a neigh ,
boring corn crib, as. he alleges, to pre
vent his horses from being taken and
ridden ow in the night by Booth and
Harold.
Uprn the approach of our cavalry
from Bowling Green, about 3 a. m., on
Wednesday, the - Garretts came out of
the corn crib to meet thorn, and in an
swer to their inquiries • directed them
to the barn. Booth was at once sum
moned to surrender, but refused. Ha
rold expressed a willingnes4 to 'give
himself up, was overruled by Booth
for some time, finally, however, stir
rendering, leaving Booth in the barn.
The latter, assuming a defiant air, cell
o& out to know the commending ofil ,
eer, and proposed to him that the men
should be drawn up at fifty yards dis
tance, When he would come out and
fight them. After the barn had been
burning three quarters of an hour, and
the foot - 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 denionstratiqn as if
to break through the guard and escape.
To preVent this Sergeant Corbett fired,
intending to hit Booth in the shoulder,
so as to cripple him, the ball; however,
striking a little too : high, entering the
neck, resulting as before stated.
Booth bad in .his possession the
short, heavy; bowie knife with which
ho struck Major Rathbone, a Spencer
carbine, a seven shooter of the Massa
chusetts, manufacture, three revolvers
and a pocket pistol. Ho wore, in ad
dition to his suit of gray, an ordinary
cloth cap, a heavy high topped cavalry
boot on his right leg, with the top turn
ed down, and 'a Government . shoo on
his left foot.
No clue could bo obtained to the
other two men, so taking the:two Gar
retts into custody, the command ilia ,
mediately set out for Washingto,n,.af
ter releasing the captain.
Lieut. Dougherty, who commanded
- the squadron, entered the service with
the 71st Nev York Militia. To-day
ho has been greatly lionized, and on
the street was repeatedly surrounded
by citizens, who occasionally manifest
ed their appreciation by loud cheers.
The two Garretts are dressed in 2'o
• bel gray, having belonged to Lee's ar-*
my, and have just returned home on
parole. They profess to have• been
entirely ignorant of the' character of
Booth and' Harold, and manifeat'great
uneasiness concerning their connection
with the affair.
Booth and Harold made a narrow
escape from being captured on this,
side of the Potomac.. Marsha.l,Murray
and a posse of New York 'detectives
tracked them to within a' short dis
tance of Swan Point, but the Marshal
being unacquainted with the country,
and without a guide, during the night
took the wrong road, and before ho
could regain the trail, Booth and He
rold Succeeded in crossing the river to
the Virginia shore.
The report that Booth attempted to•,
shoot himself while. in the barn is in
correct.' He, however, in his parley
with his besiegers indicated that ho
could•not be taken alive. •
He appeared to pay. little attention
to the fire raging about him, until the
roof began to fall-in, when ho made
a movement indicating a purpose to
make the desperate attempt to cut his
way out. It was this movement on
his part that seems to, have caused
Corbett to fire the fatal shot. Harold
before leaving the barn; laid dewn hia
pistol, which was picked up by Booth,
who had it in his hand at the time ho
was shot.
Tho pistol used by Corbett was the
regular large sized cavalik pistol. lie
was offered $l,OOO this morning for the
lycapori, with its five unshot loads.
It now appears that Booth and Ha
rold hail on clothing which was
of ,omo other color than Confed
erate gray, but, faded and darty, it
