TIIE ASSASSINS
Of the principal known' attars In the assassin
ation of ?zeeideal Lincoln, but one thus far has
escaped arrest. Louis Payne, who attempted to
murder Secretary Seward, was arrested 'in
Washington on the 171 h nit Geo. A. Atzeroth,
an accomOice of Booth, for whom V 5 , 0 00 re
ward was offered by the government,was arrest
ed near Middleharg, Md., on the 20th. J.
Wilkes Booth, the assassin of Mr. Lincoln. and
Harrold his arriomplice, were discovered near
Port Royal, Va., south of the Rappahannock,
on the 20th, when Booth was killed in the barn
of Mr. Garrett; and Harrold captured. Dr.
Mudd, of St. Mary's County, Md., who dressed
Booth's broken leg, anti aided to secrete him, is
also a prisoner, and Auxins Brutus Booth, broth
er of the assassin, was arrested on Wednesday
last and is now in the Old Capital Prison. Sur
ramonly of those known to have been actively
concerned in the plot,is at large. His mother
Is also in custody. Payne ..was arrested at her
house, and she was taken with him. The gov
ernment seems to Ifave unraveled the whole
plot, and other arrests will doubtless yet be
made, and the penalty of death will be justly in
flitted upon all, without regard to sex or con
dition, who either participated in the conspira
cy before the horrible deed was committed, or
aided directly or indirectly to preverit the ar
rest of the criminals The poetry of assassins-;
Lion will not survive the fearful tragedy of
avenging justice.
FOREIGN NEWS.
By the arrival of the Scotia at New;:York,
May 9d, we have dates to Aprll 23d , two days
later than those previously received,
The latest war news received in England
from the United States was that concerning the
viciory of (len. Sheridan at Bnrkersille. It con
firmed the general expectation that the Rebel
lion. would soon be at an end.
An English paper has a report that Louis Na
poleon has offered to England a treaty for the
mutual defense of Canada and Mexico against
the United States, but the report is tuaerally
discredited.
The medical officer of the English Privy
Council has published an interesting letter on
the epidemic in Russia. He confirms the pre.
vions reports, that the fever is not the " Siberian
plague," or the "Black Death."
The United States Minister at Lisbon, Mr.
Harvey., has written a letter for the London
Times, correcting several errors in the published
record of She difficulty I:etyma:Lille Niagara and
the Commander of the Portuguese fort.
THE CAKE OP THE .WEER,”
-The mystery of the rebel ram Webb is settled.
She bed no gent rebel on board, no silver, no
spoons, nor was she bound to the coast to he
off imtil Jeff. Davis could get on board. Reed,
her captain, having received no pay, attempted
to load her up with cotton, resin, and turpen
tine, sell off the plunder anti the vessel, pocket
the proceeds and go to Europe, where he might
purchase a title of nobility, and live like a gen
tleman. The pursuit front New-Orleans, the
sudden opposition of the Richmond, coming np
the river, put an end to these visions of fancy.
Capture, death, or destruction were the alterna
tives' before Reed, and he concluded to set fire
to the boat and endeavor to make his escape.—
He succeeded in one object, but failed in the
other. Re has been captured and now is in
New• Orleans. Soo ends the history of the last
rebel ram.

A copperhead paper published at Ashland. in
Schuylkill County, wrote as follows, in Its Issue
of the very day on which President Lincoln was
murdered:
" When the bloody Eon's of Lincoln's life Is over,
we think we see a funeral proceeaion, at the bead of
which marches a man bearing a negtr's skull, and
the impaled body of a whits man, Declaiming " Be
hold the emblem of all he accomplished by the
slaughter of two millions of people, and the crush
ing of unborn monitions beneath the mountain of
his debts," The only fitting ceremonies= the fu
neral of Such - wretches is not Christian, but heath
smith and stgruld he conducted b 7 s Syna, who stirs
her blood and makes up a centaurs banquet."
In the succeeding number the editor in no
thing the President's death pays the following,
tribute to the greatness of Mr. Lincoln es a
statesman, his purity ae ' a man :
Then men truly fell as it the first born of all the
households of the land had died; felt, OA men feel
when they have lost their best earthly friend ; felt,
as if the old. Ship of State, mire than ever, was
the mercy of the waves withsetra pilot to conduct
her to a haven of array., President Lincoln died,
just when the nation needs the parental guldatme of
a moderate, unassuming, unambitious man."
Bubb hypocrisy Is infamous.

Plot to Burn Philadelphia.
WAS niaGTON, May 2d, 1.865.
The Star of this evening mays
"The circumstances under which the plot to burn
Philadelphia was diseovered here, are about as fol
lows :
On Friday evening last Sergeant A. P McKinney,
at Slap street wharf, discovered two suspicious
looking Individuals "jerking about In the dark, who,
upon seeing they were watched, made off. On Sat
urday evening, about the Fame hour, these two men
again made their aPpearance at the wharf, when
Sergeant McKinney Informed his commanding offi
cer of the fact, and Was instructed to watch them
closely.
The Sergeant aceing two men In conversation, got
close enough to them to hear one of them inquire
of the other, "Do ' , cm think they will meet to
night!" The reply was not heard, and the two men
again started off, but were followed by the Sergeant,
Who overtook them on a vacant lot on Fonrand-a
halt street, when one of the men, seeing they were
followed, drew a pistol and &mist the Sergeant, the
ball taking effect in his right breast, near the nipple.
Fortunately Sergeant Megi „ key had a packag e of
letters in his pocket, through which the ball passed,
and which deadened its force and prevented its mak
ing* eerier= wound.
Mafia:meant, being alone, conelnded to lie still,
i b t e l e V g not dangar. .usly wounded, and the fellows
they had killed him, immediately made off
and escaped. The Serpent, upon revaluing his feet,
discovered letter the ground which the man
who fired the pistol pulled from his pocket with
the weapon. Upon retaming to his quarters the
Sergeant discovered that the letter was of some %m
-ance, and it was accordingly sent to Col. Ingra.
The letter revealed the tact that there was a de
liberately-planned scheme or plot to burn the city of
Philadelphia, In which a large number of conspire•
tors were to take part, and also contained a request
urging certain parties, enppo.cd to be the two men
shaded to above, to be in Philadelphia on the 30th
of April, seen attempt to deatroy the city would be
made on the Ist day of May, when the final blow
would be etruck, and the torch not lowered tmtll the
city wills in ashes, and their pockets tilled with trea
sure.
Colonel Ingraham, after reading the letter, Immo
distely dispatched officers. to the railroad audio;
where it was ascertained that two men answering
the description of those who had assailed the. Ber
genirt had taken passage on the train, which had left
theDert only a few minutes before. Information
of the Mr:ovary of the plot was then telegraphed to
General cowl . der, at Philadelphia, and early on
Sunday evening Cap tain Potts, Chief ot Military De
tectives and Patrols, attached to Colonel I 'a
office, was
thesedeatched to Philadelphia, th such
details of ot as had come to tire knowledge of
the anthoritles here, which go to show that there
ars some eight hundred conspirators banded togeth
er for the purpose of burn_ ,ire , Philadelphia and-oth
er Northern cities. The affair is now undergoing n
thorough investigation.

Surrender of General Lee.
We are frequently asked the question as to the re
sponsibility of the rebel leaders taken and paroled
by Gen. Grant, to the civil law, in case our Govern-
ment should want to try them for treason. A cot
rmpondmat ha the New York Tunes makes that ques
tion spin= very clear. The United States can at
any time declare them exchanird and the civil law
will take hold ofithent The following is the article
referred to from the Tiwej :
"There seems to bus general misunderstanding
both among our people and some of our editors,
with reference to the terms of surrender granted by
General Grunt to the ' Army of Northern Virginia.'
"in his letter of the ith Inst., to' Gen. Ire, Gen.
Grant says: 'Each ollicer and man will be allowed
to return to their homes, not to be disturbed by the
United States authority, so long as they observe
their parole and the laws in force where they re
side.'
"/t Is assumed that these terms grant an uncon
ditional pardon for all past offences against the
' civil law' to the officers and men belonging tl5 the
surrendered army. A little consideration will show
this cannot be so. Gen. Grant, seeing through the
endeavors of Gem Lew to entangle him lu the meshes
of diplomatic interviews in relation to a general
peace, refused to treat with him in a 'Mail' capacity,
and only offered the terms of a victorious and mag
nanimous soldier to a brave enemy. By surrender
ing to the military power, Gen. Lett and his army
lw , nme simply prisoners of war; and as much so in
their homes In the South as If they were shut up in
some huge Fort Lafayette. Gen. Grant evidently
remembered that the army of Pemberton. paroled
by hlm at Vicksburg, was kept in a state of perfect
organization by being formed Into a ' paroled camp.'
On this occasion he provided that the officers and
men should ' be allowed to return to their homes'—
thus totally breaking up the rebel army. This ' al
lowing' in military language, is equivalent to a
command; so that these prisoners can go to 'their
homes,' there to remain, unless allowed by expresa
permission of the military authorities to go else
where.
" The military law in relation to prisoners of war'
is the same, whether the prisoners are under parole
or under actual duress; and in either case they are
entitled to personal protection as much against the
' civil law' as against an armed mob. This protec
tion, It Is to be presumed, Is what Gen. Grant means
when be nays they shall 'not be disturbed by the
United States authority eo long as they observe
their parole.' &a.
"Military law Is supreme only when the civil law
Is inoperative; and when success follows military
operation, can only, In a country like ours, be tem
porary. Neverthehas, all pledges made or privi
leges granted Ly virtue of military law, while it is
the controlling power must be respected , . by the civil
law when it reassumes its supremacy. it-follows
from this principle, that although the who/eiSouth
may return to its allegiance, and the Stars* and
the United States-authorities may be in full exercise
of their civil functions, the 'Army of Virginia' is not
amenable to them, but still remains under the_Pn>
tection of military law. It may be the policy of our
Government to continue to hold the officers and
men of ibis army as ' prisoners of war' forever; or
at least till the last of them has passed from Lois
earth. No puttahment could be more severe than
this, and no guaranty so efficacious to prevent their
fomenting future discord. The military punishment
for breaking a parole, is death, and no member of
the ' Army of Northern Virginia' tan ever free him-
Arqf from the part - de which he has given.
" Should, however, the Government prefar to sub
ject them to the action of the civil law, it has only to
declare 'the officers and men of the Army of North
ern Virginia exchanged, and relsasod from their pa
rolee.' From the moment they do this, all promises
made by Gen. Grant at the time of surrender will
have been fulfilled; and the members of that army,
erasing to be ' prisoners of war ' beeome once again
ordinary citizens, and, as such, are fully amenable to
the civil authorities. The Idea seems to prevail that,
bemuse the South hap no prisoners to exchange,
this army can never be released. Any government
ban a right to free he prisoners at affy time; and It
has often been done as an act of policy, or for the
sery purpose of restoring the supremacy of the civil
power.
"it Is evident, therefore, that the terms granted
to Gen. Lee and his army do not in the slightest de•
grse affect their future responaibillty to the civil
authorities. Time only and the calm judgment of
the American people will show what punishment
will be meted oat to them.
" White it is becoming a great nation to temper
justice with mercy, it behooves the controlling pow
cm for the time being to remember the duty they
owe to posterity, and to fulfill that duty by plating
a stamp of eternal Infamy upon those parricidal
brows who, while the sworn supporters of their
country, need their best endeavors to destroy it.
" Very respectfully, Tam Asir Now."
The Martyr of Liberty.
Immense throngs of people, hall of whom were
not able to get within hearing distance, gathered on
Sunday in and around Plymouth church, Brooklyn,
it being the occasion of the delivery of the Revere.'
Henry Ward Beecher's first sermon eine° his return
from Charleston. Mr Beeeber's theme wes the es-
sessinatlon of President Lincoln, and, as might have
been expected, the spirit of leniency and indifference
towards leading rebels, which formed the characters
tette of the last discourse he preached to tds congre
gation before starting on hie Fort Sumter mission,
was not be any menus a prominent feature in his re
marks. Ile concluded with the following eloquent
peroration :—And now the martyr is moving in tri

iMPOISTANT .Asucwrs.—There were brought to
Baltimore, Wednesday, Day 3d, 11365, from Calvert
County, Dd., In charge of an armed squad of soldiers
under Lieut. O'Brien, two citizens of that county,
viz: Dr. N. W. Browne and Win. Cochrane and
three other men, upon the charge of having been
concerned in the recent assassination of the United
States soldiers, for some time past stationed In that
county.
While at the ofllce of Colonel Wooley, Provost-
Marshal, Cochraneacknowledged to him and others
that for several month re it e mt he had been Ina starv-
condition, which known to Browneißrowne and
others, he was offs large sums of money it he
would take the lives of certain eoldlers.
' He accepted the terrible bribe, and deliberately
assassinated two soldiers while they were doing
picket duty. For killing the first soldier, Cochrane
received the sum of sl7i, and was to have been paid
SW for the murder of the other, but was apprehend
ed before the glum was paid.
The parties charged with this terrible crime were
taken to Washington this aiternnon under a strong

the same trains-which brought the thronging thous
ands who assembled - on the 20th of August to attend
the Chicago Convention, and which mute it difficult
to detect their presence.
It was to have been assisted by large numbers of
"Sons of Libertirt." and other guest dies, who earns
around to that Convention, gathered from littartucky, '
Missouri, Indiana and Illinois,.and were to bounder
the immediate command of Hrigadier-tieneral Charles
Walsh, of the "dons of Liberty." ~
The presence of these oftleemand men for that
purpose, was suspected by the Government, and re
' inforcemente were made to the- garrison at Camp
Douglas, which thwarted the expedition, and its
members dispersed.
About the first of,November another expedition of
like character Was organized in Canada, to be com
manded by Captain Hines, and composed of ,the
same elements as that which bad fulled id the time
of the Chicago Contienflati. It was,determine4 that
the attempt should be mats about the period of the
Presidential election, and the night. of that day was

character had arrived ht Chicago tram Fayette and
Christian counties, In Illiuois, and that more were
coming.
On Sunday, the 6th day of November, late in th,
afternoon, it, became evident that the city was filling
up with suspicions characters, actor of whom n era
prisoners of war, and soldiera of the Rebel army,
that Captain Hines, Colonel Greaten, and Colonel
Marmaduke were here to lead, and that Brigadier-
General Walsh, of the "Sons ol Libertt," had ordered
large numbers of that order from the southern por
tion of Illinois to co-operate with them
Adopting measures which proved ufective to de
tect the presence and identify thenersons of the of
ficers and leaders, and ascertain their plans, It n ag
manifest that they had the means of calamine a
force considerably larger than the little garrison then
guarding between eight and Mae thousand prisonera
of war at Camp Douglas, and that, taking advantage
of the excitement and the large wham of rersOna
who would ordinarily till 11. c rtrt., 'e on eiection

surprise this camp, release and arm the prisoners of
war, cut the telegraph wires, burn the railroad de

commence a campaign for the release of other pris
oners of war In the States of Illinois and Indiana,
thus organizing an army to effect and glee ntnetTa
to the general uprising eo long contemplated by the
"Sons of Liberty."
The whole number of troops for duty at Camp
Douglas on that day was scree hundred and ninety

garrison square at this care", by a fence constructed
of inch boards, twelve fret high.

The work planned by that _conspiracy Is as yet bat
half performed ; and what reason have we (or assum
ing that Its final and full completion has been aban

Secretary Seward has Said, since the great catas
trophe that he considered himself and the whole
Government as having, been criminal in a very MO
degree for not taking effectual measures for the pres
ervation of Mr. Lincoln's life. They-will be doubly
criminal if, after the terrible warning they have had,
they fail to protect the life of Andrew Johnson.
The chances of his assassination are far greater than
were those of Mr. Lincoln's •two weeks; ay. The
conspirators have had a taste of blood. They have
seen one of their designated victims fall. If they atop
here their whole scheme reacts, The Government
to-day is far stronger than It was before Lincoln
was slain. The hatred of the rebellion Is wider and
more intense. And Johnson's band upon the rebel*
will be heavier far than would have been that hand
which they have palsied forever. Naturally their
desire to be rid .of President Johnson will be far
More Intense, as Cher interest is far greater, than was
their-desire to remove Mr. Lincoln. Nor has any
thing happened thus far either to daunt the resolu

work, or to render its execution Impossible.
We beg the Government at Washington to take
full precaution against the assassination of the Pres

It Is not a question of personal feeling, nor of are

public mind.—N P. Times.
Last of Rebel Rams.
Wasnmovoa, Tuesday, May 2,1865.
The Navy department has received a communTea ,
tion from Commander W. H. McComb, under date
of April 12th, at Plymouth, N. C. in which he says :
"1 got news yesterday to the effect that the rebels
bad sent a floating battery down the Roanoke, and
that it was then Just above this place. I immediately
surfed from Winton, in the Wilderness, and arrived
here last night. I then found that Commander Felel
ger had sent a party up under Lieut. Franklin, of the
Imam, which party had found the battery wank near
Janesville by one of their own torpedoes. Lieut.
Franklin set fire to all of her that was above the wa

pretty thoroughly destroyed."
