THE MARTYRDOM
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
The lour of Victory is also the hour of
National Sorrow. And this National Sor-
row is so mingleqf with a great Wrath
that we are unable to say which feeling
predominates as we take the pen in our
hand to tell our fellow-citizens the heavy
blow which has fallen on the Nation.
Last night, while attending a perform
•ance at Ford’s in- Washington,
the President of the United States, Abra-
ttam Lincoln, was shot by a dastardly
assassin.
The ball of the pistol entered the back
part of the head, penetrating about three
inches into the brain, and whim the
ories of Mrs. Lincoln brought assistance
to'him, it was found that portion of the
lower part of the brain was already oozing
through the wound.
It is therefore almost impossible that
Abraham' Lincoln can survive the
■cowardly and murderous shot by which
he was wounded.
His death, as we write, is hourly ex-
pected.
The murderer, on having consummated
his atrocious deed, leaped from the front
-of the box upon the stage, exclaiming,
*• Sic semper tyrannis ,” and waving a
knife in his hand. Rushing across the
stage, he emerged upon the street, and
mounting a fleet horse, which was waiting
for him, immediately disappeared.
The President was then borne to a pri-
vate house opposite the theatre.
At midnight the whole of the Cabinet,
with the exception of Secretary Seward,
were gathered around his bed. But he
was then in a state of complete syncope,
and breathed very slowly. 'The; blood
flowed from the back of his head. He was
necessarily totally unconscious.
What can we say ? *
That Mrs. Lincoln must suffer a deep
mid excruciating anguish under this fearful
blow, we know; but what is that anguish
to the terrible sorrow and wrath that the
National Heart must feel for him who fell
a’Martyr for her unity?
We say this unhesitatingly. Abraham
Lincoln is, at the present moment, dying
the death of a Martyr for that country to
which he.a second time, on the Fourth of
last March, pledged his fealty. Un
swerving in the path vshich-his con-
science told him was the right
•singularly honest and faithful to the for
tunes and Unity of that country of which
i . “I
he had-a second time become the sworp
and highest servant—he has perished a true
Martyr to our Unity. |
In these circumstances what must be
the deep and terrible suffering and rage
Which the entire nation will feel when
they receive this intelligence 1 Words are
Inadequate to express it.
As we write our mouth is parched and
our hands tremble.
We scarcely know what words ws pher
upon the paper before us.
Other Eulers have died under the red
handed assassination provoked hy private
ambition or personal hatred. Tyrants
have heen r slaughtered by the dagger of
the Patriot, •whose' brethren they had
ground in the dust. Profligate Princes
have perished under the steel of those
whom, their corruption had stung to the
•Very core.
But here the case is different.
A good Man—a pure Euler —one who
had been called to fill the Presiden
tial ,chair of that People who were so tho
roughly satisfied with his selfless and
honest attempt to walk evenly in the path
-to which they had once before summoned
him, has been slain, as it were, at the very
/threshold of his dwelling. 4 -.
•*' ’.hvY :
After almost certainly crushing; 4 out the
Sin of Slavery in the War which had
against his personal kindliness of heart
been thrust upon him, he perished as
Moses died, without setting -his foot
Within thfe promised land to whose boun
daries he had led his People.
Ho private wfOng or profligate sin had
provoked the hand of the murderer.
Abraham Lincoln has probably—can we
mot say he has certainly—been assassinated
hy a Southern hand. Abraham Lincoln
has been assassinated because he did his
duty unhesitatingly to that people who had
embodied their Government twice in his
person.'* It could not have been private
malice which nerved the hand that was
lifted against his life. Abbaham Lincoln,
and those associated with him in the Go
vernment, have dealt perhaps far too.le
niently with the traitors who ham fallen into
their hands. Sad they been more bloody and
unrelenting had they crusfied out those
who slood in their path —we might possibly
HAVE BEEN SPARED THE AFFLICTION "WHICH
'THISJKTELLIGENOE MUST SPBEAD THROUGH
OUT THE WHOLE NATION.
The frightful Martyrdom which has
taken this man from the midst of our Na
tion —this man, whose integrity and faith
in God’s justice saved this Nation in its
most fearful hour of straggle, occurred on
the anniversary of a day rendered memo
rable to all Christians by the Cruci
fixion of our Saviour. Let us say
it in all reverence, while we hum
bly own the almost limitless boundary
which lies between God and that
.Abbaham Lincoln received the wound
which prostrated Mm, a Martyr to the
Unity of these States—upon Good Friday.
We learn that General Ghaut re-
ceived intelligence of this sad calamity
soon after midnight, when at Walnut-street
wharf, in this city, on his way to Burling
iton, New Jersey.
PROBABLE
ASSASSINATION
W. H. SEWAEft. '
Not contented with the crime of assassi
nating the head of the Republic, Rebel
Hatred has reaohedout its red hand to the
life of its leading Statesman.
The vileness of this other act of brutal
cowardice is enhanced by the manner of
its execution.
The Secretary of State was prostrated
helplessly upon a sick bed, weak and suf
fering from the effects of the serious acci
dent which had recently befallen him, when
■the would-be assassin, after gaining access
to the house by the utterance of a false
hood, rushed into his chamber and
stabbed him repeatedly in the neck and
head. Then beating down the members of
the family who hurried to the room, the
murderer made his escape, and mounting
his horse galloped from the scene of his'
crime. •
Secretary Stanton telegraphs that
doubts are expressed as to whether the
wounds inflicted upon Mr. Seward will
be fatal, but that he, for his own part, has
no hope of his recovery.
Let us, however, hope that he may be
spared to us, and that one of those who
have shared the toils and held hp the
hands of Abraham Lincoln maybe pre
served, to work for us in that future he, '
has had so large a hand in shaping.
Our Future.
The Scottish American Journal, published
at New York and representing Scottish
opinion in this country as the Albion re-,
presents English, has some speculations as
to the future of the immense military
organization which has separately -been
created, in North and South, by the civil
War. It estimates that peace will find “in
this country not less than two millions of
thoroughly disciplined of
them rendered unfit for any occupation
'save that which they have followed'during
these four years;’’ it affirms that the war
like tastes which the majority of these men
have acquired cannot be cast aside at the
bidding of commanding - generals; and if
sees, “from the tone in which General
Grant addresses General Lee, that the
military leaders on both sides of this con
flict are likely to seek no readier way of
wiping out the memory of these four years
than in the prosecution of some new mili
tary enterprise. All they will want will
be a field, and the consent of the Govern
ment of the United States. A field they
have to-day in Mexico and Central Ame
rica, provided the Government can be urged
into a quarrel with either of these States."
It ai-gues that, if the Democratic party were
in power, it would be as easy “ to get up a
quarrel over the present Mexican situation
as to send a fleet of gunboats from the
■Washington navy yard to Hampton Roads."
But it also declares that Mr. Lincoln is as
sincerely desirous of peace abroad' as he
has been for the re-establishment of peace
at home. Still, it warns its readers to ex
pect “that this Mexican question is about
to loom up into vast proportions before long.
And unless France withdraws her protec
torate, there is every appearance ev|n now
of trouble, - which may prove serious! ’ ’
The War Office order officially gazetted
on Thursday, and publishediu
yesterday, gives a very palpable indication
of Mr. Lincoln’s pacific policy. ■ That
Order declares that drafting and recruiting
.in the- United States are Btoppedjthat' the
purchases of the munitions of war; are to
be curtailed, that the expenses of tbg miH-:
tary establishments are to be rCdiiced. that
the number of general and'staff officers
are to be diminished, and that all military
restrictions upon trade and commerce are
to be removed, so far as can safely be
done. This is the most complete reply
to the anticipations of the British politi
cians-^—to the Earl of Derby himself, who
lately stated, in the House of Lords, that,
{he moment peace was obtained here, the
/armies of our reunited Republic would join
to fight the French in Mexico, or to invade;
Canada, or, by way of being tally em
ployed-to assail .Mexieo . and flanjuin-nt
one and the - same time. This, indeed,,
.would "be to burn the candle at both ends.-
As to any war with England, we -have
always signed that of all political contin
gencies it is one of the least probable. That
this country, considerably drained of its
blood and treasure by a most exhaustive
contest, should rush into war with any fo
reign Power, except upon the most extra
ordinary and unatoned-for provocation,
seems wholly out of the question. On the
other hand, it is notorious that peace is the
policy of England , under the present Go
vernment. We have small reason to. ex
pect that Lord Palmerston will lose office,
or be weakened by the approaching Gene
ral Election, nor,, if its result be hostile to
him, that his successor—not even angry
Derby himself—can obtain permission from
Queen YicroßiAto go to war with the
United States. The Scottish American goes
farther and predicta: “ There will be no
grievous dispute with Great Britain. The
Government there have made up their
minds to refer all the claims that have ac
crued on both sides to a friendly arbitra
ment. Indemnity for certain losses on both
sides during the war will be asked, and
indemnity will be paid. As compared with
the cost of even one week of war between
-Great Britain and the United States, these
-losses amount to the merest bagatelle, and
that, we say, will Jae paid. Of this we
have no more donbtThan that the stm will
rise to-morrow.”
The Shame of the Confederacy.
Heretofore Bichmond has been known
to the world as a species, of Sebastopol, an
impregnable fortress, doubly guarded by
defences upon which human ingenuity had
been exhausted, and by great natural bar
riers of forest and fiver, mountain and
morass. It had been fortified by every'-
method of enginery and earthwork, and as
the capital and heart pf the projected con
federation all Southern hopes clustered
about it, and all Southern, hands worked
for its security.
But since Grant and our grand army
have ringed it around with a circle of fire,
arid compelled its surrender, it stands re
vealed in another light.
The scarce-credited stories of escaped
prisoners receive a fearful confirmation.
The prison-pens of Libby, and the vile
sinks where their slaves were impounded
like beasts, tell a fearful tale of tlie’gallant
Southern gentlemen! And not alone those
dungeons, where, in defiance of the usages
of civilized warfare, they ha-fe murdered
their prisoners by the death-dealing
miasma, the slow torture of starvation, or
the more merciful blow of the assassin, but
in their own State prison, where the
“ suspects" were herded—where men and
women, upon hare suspicion of loyalty to
the Union were tortured—yea, tortured—
bear witness that hellish record left be
hind. at Castle Thunder in their flight,
wherein name, offence, and punishment are
entered, like the infernal day-book of a
galley-sMp; a record which shows to the
eyes of a horror-stricken world how the
chivalry of the South, in the fiendish prac
tices pf slavery, learned to wreak ven
geance on the unresisting eaptive.
If before the military law it is a high
crime and misdemeanor to wantonly sacri
fice life by holding an untenable fortress,
what will be the world’s verdict on the
hand of conspirators who seized and held
thousands of prisoners in the knowledge
that they had not the provision necessary
to keep them alive —who gathered thou
sands of men into a land of famine, ex
posing them to hardsMps that made them
ask for death, at the hands of their own.
PifUoudly and fearlessly may we point to
our own conduct —
“ For Train and Right, ’gainst Treason’s might.
Our hand .hath altrays striven;
" And wo raise it up for a witness atlU,
In the eye of ear th and Heaven.”
Wherever our arms-have conquered we
have established order, secured peace, and
bestowed freedom. One 'slight incident
in the late victory will exhibit the relative
positions of the conflicting powers. When
the Secessionists, unable to maintain their"
citadel, with dastard hands fired the streets:
with the incendiary torch, the Union
army in the flush of triumph remembered
first the claims of humanity, and rushing
to extinguish the flames, rescued the Jives
and fortunes of their captives. The contrast
is one which will testify to posterity the
difference of the spirit which has animated
the two sections of the United States.
Where Slavery has existed, the Genius of
Liberty has been dragged into pollution
until debased by its companionship, and
rendered gioss,.. materialistic, and cruel.
Our own soldiers, bred up in the full day
light of freedom, on the other hand, are
generous to the very enemy at whom they
strike. Their hands are outstretched to
lift the fallen. They remember that they
were once their brethren, and cannot feel
that extreme bitterness of hatred to those
whom they once loved and would fain ele
vate from the depth of shame in which
they are lying, to the freedom of a nobler
and purer being.
Secretary Stanton as a Philanthropist;
There has been a fearful stir among the.
substitute agents and bounty-brokers,
whose offices have spotted the lower part,
of Chestnut, Dock, and a few of the con
tiguous streets, which have for many
months been the portion of Philadelphia
afflicted with, the disease brought to the
surface by the necessities of the Govern
ment—a disease which produces an un
pleasant vacuity in the pockets and purses
of those brought in contact with it, and
which would, we feel persuaded, be legiti
mately described under the name of gastric
fever; or, perhaps, as its greatest fury oc
curred at the intervals of the’various drafts,
it might with even more appropriateness
take that of a severe intermittent one.
On Thursday night, the dealers in sub
stitutes and the brokers of bounty retired to
. rest with the serene tranquillity of men who
have done their duty to their country for
the day, and cleared something handsome
by their fearless attention to it. Oaring not
in what manner they might have increased
their bankers’ accounts—totally unsympa
thetic with the disease of which they were,
nevertheless, the sympathetic exponents,
they laid their heads upon their pillows
with a sublime feeling of conscious spot
lesßness. Pleasant dreams hovered around
them. Lapped in the delicate arms of their
ambrosial slumbers, slightly pertained,
perhaps, with the odor of a fine old
Rye, they rested in an unconsciously, inno
cent ignorance of the step which Secre
tary Stanton, after a consultation with
General Grant, and with the full and entire
concurrence of the President, was about
taking. After a night’s recuperation from
their patriotic toil, they descended to their
breakfast tables, some few among their own
families, or those of their friends, but the
greater portion in the more splendid restaw
rants of the city, proposing to lounge away
the hour devoted to the meal, over the col
umns of The Press. They openedjit, cast
their eyes upon the first article, and read it
instantaneously. 'While they read it, their
jaws dropped, and tlieifcycß opened widely,
while the ruddy heaith iipqn their cheeks,
the fruit of liberal, ease, good living/and
cash profits, blanched perceptibly qs they
cftd so. Nonsense! There must b| some
error. So they read it a second time. It
was enough. They, felt; that the political
surgeon had made up his mind to remove
the eruption and purify the blotches on tfi& ;
body politic; The medicine had been alrea
dy prescribed, and conscjence’told them ihat’
it must indisputably be" continued . Appe
-- tite- was entirely destroyed. Thrusting
The Press hurriedly into.their pockets/jgril
crumpling it with nervous and trembling
finger!/they pushed the cup of fragrant
Mocha fmru before thein, and quitting the
table without touching the broiled steak or
the tempting cutlet, pulled their ten dollar'
beaver indignantly over their byes aaithe'y
hurried down town. t
. -Hut, alas 1 they, found; no. consolation.
The quiet- and -respectable friend .who, not
wishing for undue conspicuity himself, had.,
embarked money, sub rosa, with their spe
culative talents, had already heard the
. tuams, ond tti-ipgagadjrfth-tgare-in his patri
otic eyes, at their office; - ;
J’beig fellow-speculators were equally;
crushed by the -unpleasant intelligence
which had also quelled-their mormng'gas
tronomic propensities. It was definitely
clear that their business was completely
ended. ' '
They could no longer promise one-half
and take the whole of the bounty given by
the National Government or the State, to
volunteers. Nor could they live out of the
inability or want of business-tact of their
poorer and less educated brethren. In a
word, the unexpected and most welcome
action of the Secretary of War, declaring
so unmistakably as it does that the End of
the Behellioh is close upon us—proving to
us that with the complete annihilation by
defeat, desertion, and the surrender o? the
entire army of General Lee, the whole of
the fabric of. that monstrous usurpation
which Davis and his friends had planned
and carried out, had crumbled through—has
closed their unwholesome and-corrupt busi
ness. Henceforth, that most harsh of the
necessities to which we have been subjected
by our own Government, or rather by the
crimes of the arch-Bebel and Ms peers, can
no longer chafe or gall us. We may attend
to our affairs and follow our business with
out thinking that the next turn of the
wheel may mulct us in a sum which we
could ill afford, or must send us to the
front, leaving those who depend upon us, to
straggle alone with the daily necessities of
actual existence.
The Illnnilnatlon.
To the Editor of The Frist
Sin: The Mayor has appointed Monday, the ITth
lust., for the celebration of the resent brilliant vic
tories achieved by the national arms. The illnmL.
nation of houses, the parades and torchlight proces
sions, will form part of the numerous expressions of
•the profound joy which fills the public heart at the
glorious and. happy termination of this long, fierce,
and sanguinary rebellion.
We trust that all citizens, whatever may have
been their political prejudices In the past, will
forget all distinctions except those which must im
mutably exist between a patriot and traitor; that
they will consign to obUvion party feuds and sec
tional animosities, and obey the higher , and better
promptings of humanity by giving expression to
those sentiments which must animate the nature of
every man who is not recreant to the highest of all
principles—national pride and love of country.
There are some few In our midst, however, who
are so lost to every magnanimous impulse as to
beast that they will make no effort to manifest
emotions which they do not feel.
. We are hot surprised that such men dare not Illu
minate the dark and loathsome abode of their foul
principles and fouler solves. But, let them remem
ber that posterity and history will not only light up
their secret lurking-places, but tkelr Inmost heartß
will be Illuminated by the all-pervading light of an
Eternal Justice, and the spirit of Patriotism shall
pluck from their foul'recesses the records of their
treason and their crime. S. H. B.

The President of the United States , was shot
while attending Ford’s Theatre to-night. Il ls

President Lincoln and his wife, togatherwiSbr
other rriends, this evening vißlted Ford’s Theatre, 1
for the purpose of witnessing the performance
“Oar American Cousin.” It was annogndad,ih
the paperß that Gen. Grant, would alsobepreaent,
but that gehtleman Instead took the late tralrCof
ears for New Jersey*; The theatre was densely
'crowded, .and everybody seemed delighted with the
scene before them. i, ~

The -set'eaims>M JSgrs, Lincoln first disclosed the
Tact to the audii-ncoltw-f tho President had been
shot,'when all present rose toihefr &et, rushing tor-
Ward the stage, many exclaiming: “Hang him!”
“HanghlmP! '
TSfe exoitement' was one- or thewlldest possible
-description, and of eourse there was an abrupt’
■ termination of the theatrical performanoo.
There was a rash toward the Fresldoiit’si box, .
when cries were heard “ Stand-back!” “ Give him!
air!” “ Has aiiy one any stlmnlants 1” , ’
On a hasty examination it was found that the pra;
sident had been shot through the head, above and
back of the temporal bone, and that some of tne
brain was oozing out.
Be was removed to a private house opposite to Ae
theatre, and the Surgeon General of the army and
other surgeons were sent for to attend to his condi
tion.
On an examination of the private box, blood was
discovered on the baok of the cushioned rooking
chair on which the President had been sitting,-
also on the partition and on the floor. A common
single-barrelled pocket-pistol was found on the
oarpet.
A military-guard was placed In front of the pri
vate residence to which the 1 President had been'
oonveyed. -i rf
An’ Immense orowd gathered In front of It, alt
deeply anxious to learn the condition of the Pre
sident. It had been previously announced that
the wonnd was mortal, hut all hoped otherwise.
The shock to the community was terrible.:
At midnight the Cabinet, with Messrs. Sumner,
Colfax, and Farnsworth/judge Carter, Governor
Oglesby, General Meigs, Col. Hay, and a low por
sonal friends, with Surgeon General Barnes and
Us medical associates, were around Us bedside.
TUB PRESIDENT IST A DYISO CONDITIONAT .
The President was In a state of syncope, totally
Insensible, and breathing slowly, the blood oozing
from the wound at the baok of his head. The sur"
geons were exhausting every possible effort tf medi
cal skill, but all hope teas gone.
The parting of Ms family with the dying Presi
dent Is too sad for description. ~
The President and Mrs. Lincoln did not start to
the theatre till fifteen minutes alter eight o’Clook,
Speaker Colfax was at the WMte House; at this
time, and the President stated to Mm that he wag
going, although Mrs. Lincoln had not beeh
because the papers had advertised that General
’Grant and they were to bo present, and as Geneva
Grant had gone North he did not wish the audience
to-be disappointed. He went ■‘with apparent re
luctance, and urged Mr.tiolfax to go with hlm,.bqt
that gentleman had made other engagements, and,
, with Mr. Asbmun, of Massachusetts, bid Mm good
bye.
An Immense crowd was gathered In front of the
President’s House, and astrong guard also stationed
there, many persons evidently supposing that he
would be brought to his home.
The entire city, to-night, presents a scene of wild
excitement, accompanied by violent expressions of,
Indignation, and the profonndeat sorrow. ; Many
shed tears,
The military authorities have despatched mounted
patrols In every direction, in order. If possible, to
arrest the assassin,- while tho Metropolitan Police
are alike vigilant for the same purpose, •* -i
The attaok both at the theatre and at Secretary
Seward’s house took place at about the same hour
(10 o’oloek), thus showing a preconcerted plan to
assassinate these gentlemen. Some evidences of
the guilt of the party who attacked the President -
are in possession of the police. >

hotel quarters are guarded by troops.

Ae assassin then rushed down stairs, mounted
Mshorse at the door and rode off before an alarm

assassin of the President, It is believed the inju

others, although both the Secretary and the As

My apprehension is that they wiU prove fatal.
The noise alarmed Mr. FrSderlcaf Seward, who
was in an adjoining room, and hastened to the door
of his father’s room, where he met the assassin, who
inflicted upon him one or more dangerons wounds.
The recovery of Frederick Seward 1b doubtful.
