WHAT IT MEANT
When the Ilic,bmond papers announced, a few
days before the 4th of 3.l , xch, that an event was
about to transpire which would send a thrill of
joy throughout the South, and startle the world,
it probably had reference to the tragedy which
has since startled the whole country by its enor
mity. it is known that Booth intended to as
sassinate the President on that day, but the want
of co-operation in those who were to assist him
defeated the plan The " world has been start
led," but the t' thril. of joy" which was to be
felt throughout the South, is now a feeling of
fear. for the consequences of their work.
OEMS=
We have little faith in the evidences of mourn
ing shown for our mnrdered President by indi
viduals and newspapers who hare been for four
years denouncing him as a tyrant, a usurper,
and violator of the Constitution and laws.-
13 mtli and his accomplices don Wiese regarded
their act, in the 1/I‘7o of ttir deity denungiations
of those claiming to Ir , loyal, as one of high pa
triotism I Who will say thus a tyrant, a usurper
and a violater of the C moitution.ani the hews
ought not to be kilted y But having ai led in the
great crime, they now attempt to retreit from
this suipicions position in the flimsy disguise of
mourning drapery, and by admitting that
-t bra
him Lincoln vt.t.s, all,: all, a mend of hip coun
try, a good and humane man, and gendrally a
well-wisher to m: I. To i it "what a
lesson it should teach to partisans, great, and
small, as to their course hi the tu.ure'
We believe there is no other country in the
world, where the les r f the national head, tin
der circumstances of such rare and peceiliar as
as attended the dealt of our lamented
President, and that too with the whole Country
in a state of scar, and a portion of it in a state of
political unrest and transition, would hate occa
sioned so little financial derangement" as has
been experienced here. For four )'eap-past our
finances have been the most sen.itiyer point con
nected with,uur government, and have been tie
first to reflect the influence of suceess or defeat.
Bra in Bide justice:: the wheels of c-venmitait
Late not stopped for a moment, and an evvut
which would have shaken almost any cthyr
government to its very centre, has no percepti
ble deprvssing effect upon the business of the
country or the credit of the nation: • By our na

lesson of the permanence and stability of Re

SECOND EESPATCH.
WaanisoTON, April' 1114 1165.
Thi'Riprislican has been permitted by the War
Department to issue an extra giving the following
particulars of the capture and death of Booth, the
Prmident'e assaraluator.
" About 8 o'clock last evening we received the
Intelligence of the capture of J. Wilkes Booth, the
ILSSHEBiII of Abraham Lincoln, and one of his accom
pikes In the murder, David C. Harrold. The follow
, tug are such Of the particulars as we were enabled
to gather, which, with the exception of the precise
locality where the occurrence took place, we give as
being trestworthy and correct
Booth and his accomplice had crossed the Poto
mac River at or near Acquits Creek. Our cavalry
scouts in that vicinity have been in consequence on
usually active In their endeavors to get on the mis
creants' trail.
Early yesterday morning a squad of about twelve
men belonging to the 15th New York cavalry, under
command of a Lieutenant whose name we did not
learn, succeeded in discovering the fugitive in a
barn on the roud leading tram Port Royal to Bowl
ing Green, in Caroline County, Va.
As soon as they were discovered the place was sur
rounded, and the assassins , ordered to surrender.—
This they both refused to do, Booth declaring that
he would not be taken alive, and offering to fight
the whole squad II he would be permitted to . piece
himself twenty yards distant irons them. Ilia pro
position was not, however, acceded to, and as they
persisted in their refusal to surrender, the Lieuten
ant determined to burn them out, and acecadiugly
set fire to the barn. Shortly afterward Harrold came
out and gave himself up. Booth remained in the
burning building for some tittle and until driven out
by the fire,
when he rushed out and was immediate
ly shot through the head by the Sergeant with the
squad.
Since the above was in type we have had an inter
view with two of the cavalrymen engaged in the
capture.
From them we learn that the whole party consist
ed of 2S, Including two detectives. The first tutor
mation concerning Booth's crossing the river, and
his probable whereabouts, was obtained from dis
banded Rubel soldiers who were met with in all di
rections in that part of the country. From one and
ahcaher of these the clue to Booths' movements was
gathered and held, until just at daybreak they came
upon the barn within which he and }Jerrold were ac
creted.
A parley was bad, and Booth manifesting the most
despei ate determination not to be taken alive, and to
take as many of the lives of the party as possible.,
Lieutenant Edward Doeherty, who commanded
the scouting party, determined to make short work
of him. When Harrold sew the preparations for
tiring the barn, he declared his willingness to surren
der, and said he would not fight if they would l e t
bile out. Booth, on the contrary, was impudently
defiant, offering at first to fight the whole squad at
100 yards, and eubrequently at 50 yards. Ile was
hobbling on crutches, apparently very lame. He
swore be would die like a man, Ate.
Harrold having team secured, as soon as the burn
leg hay lighted the interior of the barn euilimently
to render the scowling face of Booth, the assassin.
visible, Sergeant Boston Corbett fired upon him and
be fell. The ball passed through his neck lie was
pulled out of the barn, and one of his crutches and
carbine and revolvers secured.
The wretch lived about two hnurs, whispering
blasphemies against the Goverunadlit, and messages
to hits mother, desiring her to be informed that he
died for his country.
The time be was shot he was leaning upon one
crutch and preparing to ehoet his captors. Only One
shot was tired in the entire affair, that which killed
the ereassin.
Lieutenant Docherty is one of the bravest fellows

in a sharp attair at Culpepper Court Sons, and on
other occasions.
The Pith New-York Cavalry is commanded by
Col. Nelson Sweetzer, and has been doing duty in
Fairfax County. Tills Regiment formed part of the
cavalry escort on the oay of the President's obse

The body of Booth and the assassin's accomplice,
Harrold, were placed on boxed the Ida, and sent op
to Washington, arriving here about one o'clock this
morning.
Booth's body has been fullyreeoguized and placed
upon a gunboat in the stream. The knife be bran
dished, with the blood of Captain Raihbone dried
thereon, is here ; his revolvers and Spencer ti

The orders of General Sherman to General Stone
man to withdraw from Salisbury and Join him, will
probably open the way for Davis to escape to Mexi

Richmond banks, but previous accumnlatlons.
A dispatch received from Iti , buoold : "It
stated here by responsible parties that i hr. amount

lILBRISBEIIO, April 26th, tees.
it is reported In official circles that the District
Attorney of Franklin county will bring-before the
Grand Jury of the Court soon to convene In that
county,, bills of indictment against General Mciatins•
fend Rani Gilmor and , Other -leading . Rebels, for
levying war upon the Inhabitants of Franklin coun
ty, for pillare, - arson and murder. "
There can be no doubt that tree bills will he found,
'when Goireiwor Curtin will immediately demand the
Wretches thus Indicted from the Governor of Vir

Before the proposed action of the District At
torney of Ymnklin county was known it was con

a formal demand for McCausland and Gilmor. This
action is now postponed to await the result of the
proceedings before a Grand Jury of Fraukliu county.
Mr. Lincola's Opinion of Johnson.
On the day before the meeting of the Baltimore
Gonventlon, Marcus L. Ward, of New Jersey, a del
egute, and subsequently a most efficient member of
the Republican National Executive Committee,
waited upon. Mr.
,J,lncoln,, and solicited an exprean
'sten' of lds preferences as to the Vice Presidential
candidate to be nominated by that Convention. The
President, while declaring that be could not be ex
pected to avow any distinct preference for any of
the gentlemen named In that connection, referred
frankly to the merits of each, including Messrs.
Dickinson, Hamlin, and dwelt especially upon the
claims of Andrew Jolmeott, whom he characterized
as eminently a man for the times, capable, honest,
and of Inflexible loyalty and Indomitable will,
whose selection for Vice President would afford him
(Mr. Lincoln) supreme satisfaction. Mr. Ward left
the President with the strong conviction that no
man In the country possessed his esteem and con
iidenco more entirely than Mr. Johnson.
At a subsequent interview, on the 6th of March,
the President reiterated all he had previously said in
Mr. Johnson's praise, and remarking that the
country owed him a debt of gratitude for bin un
shrinking sacrifice and heroic labors in its behalf,
which could never be paid. Ile still felt that he had
in the new Vice Prealdent one whose aid would be of
inestimable value in the work before him.
