DR. S. W. BECKWITH’S
(FORMERLY PROF. 0. H. BOLLBS’)
EIiECTBICAX4 INSTITUTE,
1220 WALNUT STREET,
FOE THE TREATMENT OF ACUTE AND
CHRONIC DISEASES.
Electrical luvestlfatida ha« proved that the hamaa.
bod? acie o» tbe principle of the galvanic battery. The
brain, mtumn and serene membranes* the »kin, tisanes,
and fluids, constitute tbe negative and .positive forces;
and every action, whether mental or physical, U the
result of these antagonistic forces. Digestion, respira
tion, circulation, secretion, and excretion are due '
solely to Electrical influence. There is a polar action,
established throughout the nervous system which eba
nects with every part of the body, establishing and
preserving a proper balance of the electrical j
which constitutes health, and a disturbance & which*'
causes disease. There are, strictly, but two conditions
of disease—one of inflammation, or positive; other
weak, debilitated, negative; and &b Electricity pout alns"i
these two conditions in the action of the positive and
cef&tive current s, all we have to do is to neutralize the.
disease and restore proper healthy action, •!,
We do not w ish to convey the impression curd
ail diseases in all conditions. We cannot cute consump
tion after the lungs are all destroyed: yet we db assert,
and are prepared to practically demonstrate, that hun
dreds of cases of almost every form of chronic disease,
pronounced incurable by the best medical practitioners
of (the country, have been radically cured, some of
them in an incredibly shot! time, by our Electrical
treatment. Its great superiority over other practices In
the cure of disease is alsoattestedin the fact that, within
the past five years, over fourteen thousand patients
have been treated at this office, suffering from atmosi;
every form and condition of dis&ise common! to hu
manity, and in nearly all cates a benefit 6r perfect cure
has been effected; Therefore, with these FACTS jto
prove our theory aadixeatment of'disease, we tyre will
ing to undertake any of the following dUoasSa, with
every, hope and prospect of success, with very many
otter* not here enumerated: " ,
1, Diseases of the Brain and Nervous System -fBpU.
lepsy, Chorea or St. Yitus’ Dance, Paralysis
gia and Paraplegia), Neuralgia, Hysteria, JfervbiißaasßjO
Palpitation of the’Heart, Lock-jaw, etc., etc.; alsoj
diseases of the Eye and Ear. ... }
2. Organs and Tissues connects with the Digestive
System,—% ore Throat,’ Dyspepsia, Diarrhoea, iDy«eh>'
tery, Obstinate. Constipation, Hemorrhoids o} Piles, •
Bilious. Flatulent, and Painter’s Colic,; and all affec
tlons of the Liver and Spleen. '
3. Respiratory Organs. —Catarrh, Cough, Influenza,
Asthma (when not caused by organic disease of the;
heart), Bronchitis* Pleurisy, Pleurodynia ’or Ehenma
tiem of the Ch<?*t, Consumption in the early stages.
4. Fibrous and Muscular, System.— Sh-'umattan,
Gout, Lumbago, Stiff neck. Spinal Curvature, Hip
Disease, Canhers, Tumors.. - " . ; 1
6. Urinaryand Genital OirgShs.— Gravel, Diabetes,
and Kidney-Compl&int«;Tjnpotence and Seminal*
ness. Tbe latter complaints never fail to yield jtapidly
to ibis treatment.
6. Diseases, Peculiar to Females.— Uterine Com
plaints, involving a mal-position, as Prolapsni Ante,-
version, Eetrovsrsion, Inflammation, Dlseration, and
various other affections of the -Womb and 0 varies, Pain
ful, Suppressed, Scanty, dr Profuse Menstruation, Led
corrhoea. --- • ; .
TO LADIES can we recommend this treatment as one
of TFJafYAEIEI) SUCCESS. Almost innumerable cases:
havecome under treatment at our office who can! testify'
to this fact. Mrs, 6. A, FDLTON, great expe
rience and ability, has entire charge of the Ladies 1 De
partment, and all delicacy will bo used toward those
Who entruEt them* elves to her care. In female diseases
as mentioned in tbe above list,-with others not men
tioned, she has had a large experience, and can confi
dently promise the most gratifying results.
TO THE AFFLICTED.
The treatment is mild and gentle, producing so shock
or unpleasant sentation whatever. Our professional
intercourse with the afflicted will Over be characterized
by perfect candor and Honesty, and those whose com
plaints are incurable, or do not admit of amelioration!
will be frankljrtold so, and hot accepted for treatment.
It matters not what may be your complaint, or how
long you have suffered, or how much, or what course
of treatment you may have been subjected to, or what
disappointments you have eipsrieCded; if the system is
not worn out—if lufficient vitality remsittsforreactlon—
there is a fair project of recovery.

trip. ! ’ .. - ■ ■ •• - •• . '
On Sunday morning,- -thersth, Divine service was

r and on Tuesday night, about twelve o’clock, the
. passengers being all on deck, tbe moon at Its full
and shining brightly, the Arago east anchor In the
harbor of Hilton Head, SouthJCarollna, having been
exactly two days and a, half on the way. ■':
; Perhaps the most noticeable feature of the trip

acquainted with each other.
On Wednesday morning, the 12th Inst, having
arrived safely at HUton Head, S. 0., the guests
started on board the steamboat Delaware for Sa
vannah, at which place they arrived about 2
o’olock P. M.j remaining till nightfall. Upon their
arrival, carriages were in waiting to convey them
; through the place, and by moans of. these convey? '
.anc.es an excellent opportunity was afforded to see
thttS Etill beautlfulthough now sad city. Return

of the Arago frond themselves just In time for the
ball, which was being given In their honor by
General Gilmore, the commander of the depart

"or the spacious building was tastefally decorated.
Regiments! flags adorned the waifs and floated
gracefully from the windows. A band, stationed at

and eleganhmunnor, at the Charleston Hotel. At
about 7 o’clock P. M,, over one hundred persons,:
including the guests of the Arago, sat down to a
most sumptuous repast, and not a few were sur

United States navy. During the evening many or the
gentlemen present were called upon, and' responded
In effective speeches. The occasion wasone never to
be forgotten. For onoe the splendid dining-room of
the first hotel In South Carolina rang with senti
ment, breathing death to slavery’ and treason, and
devotion to liberty and the Union of our fathers.
'One of the principal-addresses or the evoning was
made by Judge Advocate General Holt, who, evi
dently without the slightest preparation, delivered
a grand speech, almost every sentence of which was
applauded again and again. Towards midnight
the company separated, with a parting toast which
found a response In every heart: “ The Union; It
must and shall be preserved I”
The ceremonies at the fort were of an imposing
character- A platform surrounded with evergreens,
japonlcas, and other decorations, the gifts of the
loyal ladles of Charleston, was ereoted In the centre

furnished the only means of entrance and exit.

pre|enteda|fine appearance. In front of the plat
•afornf were.the seats, capable of accommodating
several thousand people. On the stage beside the
speaker’s stand was a golden eagle holding In its
.beak a hand'Some wreath of flowers and evergreens.
Tbe flag-staff had been ereoted Immediately In the
centre of the enclosure. The arrangements were
-under the superintendence of Major .Weiss, and
were altogether very satisfactory.
The number of persons In attendance is variously
estimated at About thren thousand, including be
tween four and five hundred citizens. Among the
latter we observed .Charleston’s Union represent*,
tive, Dr. A. G. Mackey, andhls family.
About eleven o’elook Rear Admiral Dahlgren ar
rived, and was-enthusiastically oheered. He was
followed by Fleet Captain Bradford, and from two
to three hundred naval officers of the squadron, and
visitors! . ;
ARRIVAL Of MAJOR GZHEEAL ROBERT ANDHRSOH,
■ At half-past eleven, the sound of music, followed
by the continued cheering of the crowd on the para
pets, was the signal of the arrival of Major General
Robert Anderson and the distinguished personages
accompanying him.
. Major General Gilmore entered thepafade-ground
with Major General Anderson on the right and Miss
Anderson on the left. Their appearance was hailed
with enthusiastic shouts of delight.
THE OEBBMOHIES.
The ceremonies were opened with the recitation
.oftbeTeDeum.
Prayer was then offered by the Rev. Mathias
Harris, chaplain United States army, who made
the prayer at the raising of the flag when Major
Anderson removed his oojmnand from Fort Moul
trie to Fort Sumpter, December 27,. iB6O. It was .
very eloquent and Impressive. ,
Immediately after Psalms 128, 47,98, and 2a were
read by the Rev. R. S. Storrs, Jr.; D. D., the large
audience taking the alternate verses with him.
UNFURLING Off THE GLORIOUS OLU EL AG.
Major Anderson’s, despatch to thg,Government,
dated steamshlp.Baltlo, off Sandy Hook, April 18th,
1881, announcing the fall of Fort Sumpter, was then
tead by Brevet Brigadier General E. D. Townsend,
Adjutant General United States Army.
When the moment am arrived for lifting the flag
of our tethers the crumbled walls, frotn whloh
theblecdlestand blackest treason of Chxlstoudom ;
had torn It, no language can describe the grandeur
and enthusiasm of the scene. All around the plat
form, on whloh stood: at. least a few of-the
natiol’s hoMeei P 0 ® 8 ; was oite vast mass of
Amtrlean patriots and Soldiers, jR?J aI wtim!ra
from the far North were there, and, oatohlcg the
Inspiration of ike scene, weiewlld in tke expression
of their joyous patriotism. The soldiers stationed
at Charleston, anil sailors from the fleet in the
splendid harbor, officers from the army and the
Department of the South, vast numbers of citi
zens from all the loyal States, citizens of Sa
vannah and Chari&ton—all tended to make np
the surging sea of patriotic enthusiasm. Ser
geant Hart advanced to the foot of the flag
staff, took from a small bag the old colors, In which
they had been safely brought from New York, and
adjusted them to the ropes upon the flag-staff. As
the venerable form of the Christian hero, Ander
son, came forward toward the rope all was hushed
Into profound silence. Bht when he, with Sergeant
Hart, began to pulltKe rope which bore the flag aloft,
one prolonged shout went from theheart of thatdense
mass that beggars all description. A 000 l observer,
if such a one was present, might have noticed that
here and there conld be seen a few with heads
bowed down and' tears rolling from the eyes, others
In attitude of prayer. But these were exceptional
cases, for the vast massshouted and screamed with
delight, with hands high upraised, with faces
turnfed following the flag, every featnre lit np with
the fire of joy. They huzzaed and huzzaed
as none ever did before, lor never In America was
snch a scene for exaltation. AS soon as the flag
fluttered in pride from Its majestic height, all the
forts that In the wide harbor had four years ago
turned their gnns on it, now thundered their greet
ing at its reappearance. Around old Sumpter’s
walls* flashed the red artillery; and the national
vessels gaily dressed with flags stretching from
bowsprit to mainmast, and' thence to 'taffrail,
thundered with an hundred gnus their welcome to
the* stars and stripes. . But I will cease my vain at
tempt to tell .In this hurried manner what the
historic painters will but feebly sketch—the glo
ries of this most memorable occasion.
SPEECH OF GKNKKAL ANDERSON.
■ When the cheering had subsided, General Ander
son, on being Introduced by Joseph Hoxle, Earj.,, ad
dressed' the assemblage and said :

[Special Correspondence of The Freee. 3
Richmohb, April 17,1865.
Tie tlreadfol intelligence from Washington was
received in this olty yeeterday about noon. TJib
first report came tlmt lie was dead, which smote tie
hearts of tie loyal people , with deep sadness, bat
they resolved not to credit it, Bat soon tie official
Confirmation removed all doabts, and the people
were overwlelmed with profound grief. Tie effect
of this sad news las filled tie Meart of loyalty witl
mourning, and caused tie rebels to quake with ap
prehension when they heard that the consideration
• heretofore extended to them lad been returned in a
spirit of such fiendish barbarity, by assassinating
the Chief Magistrate to whom they are Indebt
ed for the conciliatory measures which have
marked the triumphs of the XJnlon army, Per
sons who were - prominently connected with the re
bellion have signified their Intention, and will soon
move' in public meetings, to denounce the aet in
fitting-language, ahd adopt such expressions of con
dolence as the circumstances require, ' This may
serve a purpose; arfd may for a.time pass for genu
ine sincerity, but to.every refieoting mind there can
bo hut ong conclusion—that thh death of the Presi
dent of the United States is another one of the in
famous crimes which logically followed the efforts,
of treason to dismember the Union, It was, no
doubt, committed at the Instigation of traitors, with
the object or affording them the consolation of
making good their boast that Abraham Lincoln
should never be acknowledged as their President.
This class of persons need a little looking after, dr
we shall soon learn that some other idol of the loyal
North has been murdered by those whose opportu
nities for slaying Union patriots in the field have so
greatly, diminished, but who do not hesitate to avail
themselves of the services of the assassin.
Though Lincoln, the' great, the good, and the
honest patriot, has fallen, let us all trust that his
successor may be imbued with the same spirit that
has not only made the la,te President immortal in
the estimation of ids own countrymen, but which
has gradually endeared him to the hearts of all
lovers of : freedom in foreign lands, until he has be.
come the .idol or the prpgressivo splrlt of mankind;
’XHe Whig of to-day says, editorially: ,
“ Tho people of Petersburg had tits afflicting
news yesterday,’before Jt was made public bare.
Judge W. T. Joy lies, Roger A. Pryor, John Lyon,
and other prominent'citizens, united in a call for a
public meeting to express, if words could do: so,
their grief lor so .sad ail event, tlielr abhorrence of
the deed, andttheir sympathy for the bereaved.
Wo know that the citizens of Richmond will take
similar action.”
Tho flags of the shipping,: both nagyjaM mer
chantmen, were displayed at half-mast'yesthrday,
and still continue so. Other. marks of respect will,
no doubt be' shown to the venerated dead.
Thia-clty at no period of the war was ever as quiet
as It Is at present. The soldiers have all been re
moved beyond the limits in order to avoid the diffi
culties which would likely' ocour between them
and the people. Business is beginning to be prose
cuted, and the various channels of industry will
soon be m sucoessful operation. Everything indi
cates that at no very distant d&y Mchmond will
be one among the most prosperous cities in the.
Union. At present the restraints which the .mill- 1 '
tary authorities deem necessary to proscoute opa
rations In this State may prevent or confine tho
business In certain directions; bnt as soon as indi
vidual enterprise shall be permitted to operate, the
burnt districts will soon bo rebuilt, and such im
provements In the City completed as were sus
pended by the rebellion.
The good work of organizing schools for tho bene
fit of the colored children of this city is rapidly pro
gressing, and soonrthey will be in successful opera
tion. Quite a number of-ladies and gentlemen are
hero as teachers, under tho auspices of the Freed
men’s Association, and are anxlousto begin the
work, from which they are confident 'that the same
gratifying results will attend'their efforts as have
marked those of their institution In other parts of
the country.
The churches yesterday were very generally
opened, and the people attended divine service
more fully than they did last Sunday.
By every mall boat from Washington visitors and
adventurers continue to reach this city, notwith
standing the stringent orders to the contrary. Many
Union refugees are now returning to look after their
property and other Interests which they were
obliged to leave to the mercy or the rebels.

Asm VAX.’ o» Gum. R. E. lam Kiosmowd—
General Robert? E. Lee, lately commanding tho
rebel armies, arrived In Richmond on Monday after
noon <loth) at half past three o’clock. The first In
timation of his arrival was the call made upon
Lieut. H. S. Merrell, post quartermaster at Rich
mond, for forage and stabling for twenty horses In
behalf of General Leer. Shortly alter three o’oloek
he arrived on the pontoon bridge between Richmond
and Manchester. Here an Immense crowd had col
lected to receive him, and he was greeted with
cheers upon cheers, which visibly affected him.
Whenever he passed Union offloers they raised their
caps, in recognition of his great genius, no less than
his regard for truth and consistency In refusing to
draw his sword outside of his native Virginia. The
General was accompanied by five members of his
staff, General Lee and all wearing swords. As ho
dismounted at Ms residence tho thousands of people
who surrounded him again cheered him, and so
many as oohld get near him shook him heartily by
the hand. One rebel officer, failing to oatch his
hand, seized Mm by the extremities of Ms coat—
“ touching the hem of Ms garment.” The good feel
ing In relation to General Lee was common to both'
Unionists and rebels, and was fully shared In by all.
Tebacheet amoks Rebel Desebtees.—AffNor
folk, on Saturday, soon alter news of the death of
the President arrived, some incipient signs of re
bellion exhibited themselves In two “ whitewashed”
regiments of rebel deserters, who have taken the
oath of allegiance, and been enlisted in the servtoe
of the United States. The mutinous signs and tur
bulent acts of the proposed Insurgents were quickly
quelled, and their arms taken from them. On an
examination of their cartridge-boxes, ammunition
was found therein that had never been issued to
them by the Government, and waa not at all suited
to the arms In their possession. It Is currently re
ported and generally believed that guns were ecu
sealed In Norfolk or vicinity for wMeh the mysteri
ous cartridges would come In use. Several paroled
rebel prisoners were seized on suspicion of being
connected with the mutiny that has been sc ef
fectually crashed by the prompt action of the au
thorities.
A Highland Mjbaolb.—A Scotch paper, the
Elgin Courant, says most people who know Strath
spey intimately are aware off a tradition being
current among the “ Men of Duthll” from time
immemorial that there once was an unparalleled
Interposition orProvldence in Causing the waters
of the Spey to separate, affording a passage on
dry ground to those who carried tho mortal remains
of " i certain woman” to their last resting-place j
and, to-commemorate tMa wonderful event, the
“men,” by the request of one of their number, now
deceased, are about to ereot a stone near the place
: where a passage was effected, bearing the following
wonderful inscription, wMoh (says our correspon
dent) I had the pleasure of reading to-day on the
stone in English and Gaelic. The following is the
'English version: “Erected at tho request of the
late William Grant; Slock, for a* memorial .of a
signal manifestation of the Divine powerlndividing
this water, and causing a passage while the remains
of a certain woman were carried over on dry
grotffia.”

A COMPLETE AND MOST GRAPHIC ACCOUNT
OF THE MOYBMEKTfi OF i. WILKE3*BS@IH
ASSASSINATION OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
We extract the whole of tlie following; aecosfib or
the conduct of the assassin oh the day preceding
the night of the tragedy from the correspondence of
the New York World by Jerome B. Stlllsohi With**
out any exception, it Is the best and most'ofroum-’
htantlal account, If the whole of it be'based upon
fact, of any which we have hitherto seen; and, If
we dare say bo, is one of the most dramatically
detailed accounts of an appalling Incident In na
tional history which has ever' been' offered to any
nation;
Some very deliberate, hut not at all extraordinary)
movements wbre made by a handsome and extremely
well dressed young man In the City of Washington
last Friday,. At about 11% o’clock A, M. this per
son, whose name 1b J. Wilkes Booth, by profession
an actor, and recently engaged la oil speculations,
sauntered Into Ford’s Theatre, on Tenth, between
E and F streets, and exchanged greetings with the
man at the box office. In the conversation which
ensued the ticket agent Informed Booth that a box
was taken lor Mr. Lincoln and G-oneral Grant, who
were expected to visit the theatre, and contribute
to the benefit of Miss Laura Keene and satisfy the
curiosity of a large audience. Blr. Booth, went
away with a jest, and a lightly-spoken ll Good after
noon.” Strolling down to Pumphreys’ stable, on C
■ street, in the rear of the National Hotel,; he en
gaged a saddle horse, a high-strung, fast, beautiful
bay mare, telllbg Mr. Pumphreys that he should
call for her In the middle of the afternoon.
VISITS MB. JOHNSON.
Fromhere he went to the Kirkwood Hotel; on the
corner of Pennsylvania avenue and T welfth street,
where, calling for a card and a sheet of note-paper,
he sat down and wrote upon the first as follows:
For Mr, Andrew Johnson;
I don’t wish to disturb yon are yon at home!
• J. W. Booth,
To this message, whloh was sent up by the oblig
ing olerk, Mr.'Johnson responded that he was very
busily engaged. Mr. Booth smiled, and, taming to
his sheet of note- paper; wrote on It. The fact, if fact
It Is, that he had been disappointed in not obtaining
ah examination of the Vice President’s apartment
and a knowledge of the Tice. President's probable
whereabouts the ensuing evening In no way affected
hircomposure. The note, the contents or which are
unknown, was signed and sealed within a few mo
ments. Booth arose, bowed to an acquaintance, and
passed into the street. His elegant person was seen
on the avenue a few minutes, and was withdrawn
Into the Metropolitan Hotel.
HE VISITS HIS BTABI.K.
At 4 P. M. he again appeared at, Pumphreys’
livery stable, mounted the mare he had engaged,
rode leisurely up F street, turned into an alley be
tween Ninth and Tenth streets, and thence Into
an alley reloading to the rear of Ford’s Theatre,
which fronts on Tenth street, between H and F
streets. Here he alighted and deposited the mare
In a small stable off the alley, which he had hired
some time before fortbeecoowmodatiott of a gaddle
horee which he had recently sold.- Mr. Booth soon
afterward retired from the stable, and Is supposed
to have refreshed himself at a neighboring bar
room. ’
THE SCENE AT THE THEATRE,
At 8 o’clock the same evening. President Lincoln
and Speaker Colfax sat together in e private room
at, the White House, pleasantly conversing, Gan.
Grant, with whom the President had engaged to
attend Ford’s Theatre that evening, had left with
his wife for Burlington, NOW Jersey, In the six
o'clock train. After this departure Mr. Linooin
rather reluctantly determined to keep his part of
the engagement, rather than to disappoint his
friends and the audience. Mrs. Lincoln, entering
the room and turning to Mr. Ooftax, said, la a half
laughing, half serious way, “ Well, Mr. Lincoln,
are you going to the theatre with me or not 1” “I
eupposelsball have to go, Colfax,”said the Presi
dent, and the Speaker took his leave, in company
with Major Rathbone, of the Frovoßt Marshal
General’s office, who escorted Miss Harris, daugh
ter of Senator Harris, ol New York. Mr. and Mrs.
Lincoln reached Fora’s Theatre at twenty minutes
before 9 o’clock.
The house was ffiledin every part with a large and
brilliantly attired hudlenoe. As the Presidential
party ascended the stairs, and passed behind the
dress olrole to the entrance, of the private box re
served for them, the whole assemblage, having In
mind the recent Union victories, arose, cheered,
waving hats and handkerchiefs, and manifesting
every other acoustomed sign of enthusiasm. The
President, last to qnter the box, turned before doing
so, and bowed a courteous acknowledgment ’of his
reception. At the moment Of the President’s ar
rival, Mr. Hawks, one of the actors, performing the
well-known part of Dundreary, had exclaimed;
".This reminds me of a story, as Mr; Lincoln says.”
The audience forced him, after the interruption, to
tell the story over again. It evidently pleased Mr.
Lincoln, who turned laughingly to his wife and
made a remark which was not overheard.
THE BOX.
The box In which the President, sat consisted of
two bexeß turned into one, the middle partition be
ing removed, as on all occasions when a state party
visited the theatre. The box was on a level with
the dress circle, about twelve feet above the stage.
There were two entrances—the door nearest to the
wall having been dosed and locked; the door near-'
est the balustrades of the dress clrole, and at right
angles with it, being-open and left open after the
visitors had entered. The interior was carpeted,
lined with erimson paper, and furnished with a sofa
covered with crimson velvet, three arm chairs simi
larly covered, and six cane-bottomed chairs. Fes
toons of Hags hung before the front of the box
against-a background of lace.
THE ARRAHOEXENT OX TEE j-AETY.
FresldentLlncoln took one of tbe arm-chairs and
seated himself in the front of the box, In fii3 angle
nearest the audience, where, partially screened
from observation, he had the best view of what was
transpiring on the stage. Mrs. Lincoln sat next
him, and Mtss-Harris in the opposite angle nearest
the stage. Major Bathbone ear just behind Mrs.
Lincoln and Miss Harris, These four were the only
persosß in the box. ; . s _ w ;
• ' - . THE PLAT, .... ' ‘ -
The play proceeded. The audlencestFoifl’s, in
cluding Mrs.'Lincoln, seemed to enjoy it very much.
The worthy wife of the president leaned forward,
her hand upon her husband's knee, watching every
scene In the drama with amused attention. ’Even
across the President’s face at intervals swept a
smile, robbing It of its habitual sadness.
THE ASSASSIN’S PEEL JMIN ABIES TO FLIGHT.
About the beginning of the second act, the mare,
standing in the stable in the rear of the theatre, was
disturbed in the midst of her meal by the entrance
of the young man who had quitted her In the after,
noon. It is presumed that she was; saddled and
bridled with exquisite care.
BOOTH ENTERS THE THEATRE,
Baying completed these preparations, Mr. Booth
entered the theatre by the stage-door; summoned
one of the soena-shllters, Mr. John Spangler,
emerged through the same door with that Indi
vidual, leaving the door open, and left the mare in
his hands to he held until he (Booth) should return.
Booth, who was even more fashionably and richly
dressed than usual, walked thence around to the
front of the theatre and went In. Ascending to the
dress circle, he stood lor a little time gazing around
upon the audience and oooaslonallyupon the stage,
in his usual graceful manner. He was subsequently
observed jp Mr, Ford, the proprietor of the theatre,
to be slowly elbowing his way through the crowd
that packed the rear of the dress-circle, toward the
right side, at the extremity of which was the box
where Mr. and Mrs. Linoofn and their companions
were seated. Mr. Ford casually noticed this as a
slightly extraordinary symptom of Interest on the
part of an actor so familiar with the routine of the
theatre and the Play. :
The curtain had arisen on the third act, and Mrs.
Mountcheastngton and Asa Trenchard were exchang
ing vivacious stupidities, when a young man, pre
cisely resembling the one described as J. Wilkes
Booth, appeared before the open door of the Presi
dent’s box, and prepared to enter.
THE ASSASSIN AT THE BOX 8008.
The servant who attended Mr. Lincoln said po
lltely : “This Is the President’s box, sir: no one Is
permitted to enter.” “lam a Senator,” responded
(the person, “ Mr. Lincoln has sent forme.” The
gave way, and the young man passed
.into the box. ,
IN THB BOX.
As he appeared at the door, taking a quick, com
prehensive glance atfthe interior, Major Batnbcns
arose. “Are you aware, sir,” he said, courteously,
“upon’whomyou are Intruding 1 This is the Pre
sident’s box, and no one Is admitted.” The intruder
answerednot a word. Fastening his eyes upon Mr.
Lincoln, who had half turned his head to ascertain
what caused the disturbance, he stopped quickly
back without the door. ' '
THE SHOT,
Drawing a Derringer pistol, and taking, by means
of some almost miraculous calculation, a deadly
aim, he fired through the dosed door, on his right,
the ball passing through the door, and entering tho
brain of the President.
THE ASSASSIN’S FLIGHT, -
The movements of the assassin were from hence
forth quick as the lightning. Springing .Into the
box through the'door of which he had just retreat
ed, he dropped hisqpistol on the floor, and .drawing
a bowie-knife, struck Major Bathbone, who opposed
him, ripping through his coat from the shoulder
down, and inflicting a Severe flesh wound in his arm.'
He leaped then upon the velvet-covered balustrade
at the front of the box, between Mrs. Lincoln and
Miss Harris, and, parting with both hands the flags
that drooped on either side, dropped to the stage be
neath. Arising, and turning foil upon tho audience,
with the knife lilted In his right hand above his head,
he' shouted : “ Sic semper tyrannic —Virginia is
avenged!” Another instant and he had fled across the
stage and behind the aoenea. Colonel J. B. Stewart,
the only person in the audience who seemed to oom
prehendjhedeedhehad committed, climbed from
Els seat Boar the orchestra to tho stage, and fol
lowed close behind. The assassin was too fleet and
too desperate. Meeting Mr. Withers, the leader of
the orchestra, just behind the scenes, he struck
him aside with a blow that fortunately was not a
wound; overturning Miss Jenny Gourlay, an ac
tress, who came next In his path, he gained, with
out further hindrance, the back door previously
left open at the rear of the theatre; rushed through
it; leaped upon the horse held, by Mr, Spangler,
and without vouchsafing that person a word of In
formation, rode out through the alley leading Into
F Street, and thenee rapidly away. His horsa’B
hoofs might almost have been heard amid the si
lence that for a few seconds dwelt in the Interior of
the theatre.
THE BOEBB IB THE THEATRE,
Then Mrs. Lincoln screamed, Miss Harris cried
for water, and the full ghastly truth broke upon all
—“The President Is murdered!” The scene that
ensued was as tumultuous and terrible as one of
Dante’s pfeturesof hell. Soma women fainted, others
uttered piercing shrieks, and orles for vengeance
and unmeaning shouts for help burst from the
mouths of men. Miss Laura Keene, the actress,
proved herself In this awful time asequal to sustain
a part In real tragedy as to interpret that of the
stage. Pausing one moment before the fbotlights to
entreat the audience to be calm, she asoended the
ln the rear of Mr. Lincoln’s box, entered it,
' took the dying President’s head In her tap, bathed
It with the water she had brought, and endeavored
to force some of the liquid through the insensible
lips. The locality of the wound was at first supposed
to be In the breast, it was not until after the neck
and shoulders had been bared and no .mark dis
covered, that the dress of Miss Keene, stained with
blooa, revealed where the ball had penetrated.
THR-IBBRBBIBLE PRBSIDBNT OABBIUD:IHriV
As soon as the;oonfnslon and crowd were'partlally
overcome, the form of the President Was conveyed
from the theatre to the resldenoe of Mr. Peterson,
on the opposite side of Tenth street. Here upon a
bed, in a little hastily prepared chamber, it was laid
and attended by Surgeon General Barnes and other,
physicians, speedilysummoned.

THE AtN-SHPT OH SECRETARY SB WARD’S MFS,
The afteiwpt on the life of Secretary Seward was,
perhaps, as daring, if sot so dramatic, as the assas
sination of-Jt he Preeldcpt. At 9.20 o’clock a man,
; tall, athletic, and dressed In light-colored clothes,
alighted from tS borsein front of Mr, Seward’s rest
, deuce, in Madison place, where the Secretary was
.lying very feeble from hid recent Injuries. The
iheuse, asolid ihre e-Mery brick building,waeftrmerly
ithe old Washington Club Bouse. Leaving his
horse standing, the’ stranger rang at the doer, and
iefemed tho servant who admitted him that he de
sired to. see Mr. Seward. The'servant responded
that Mr. Seward wwovery til,- and thatno visitors
were admitted. “ Bat Sam a messenger from Br,
Terflit Mr. Seward’s physician; I have a prescrip
tion which I must dell vsftto him myself.” The ser
vant Btai demurring, thr su auger, without
parley, pushed him asid* and ascended the stairs-.
Mo-ring to the right, he- proceeded rewards Mr.
Seward’* room, and was about to enter it, when
Mr. Frederick Seward appeared from a* opposite
doorway and demanded hi* business. He respond
ed In the same manner a* to the servant below,
but being met with a regnal, suddenly closed
the controversy by striking Eft: Seward a severe
and perhaps mortal blow across the forehead with
the butt of » pistol. As the first victim feti, Major
Seward, another and younger son of the Secretary,
emerged from-his father’s ronca Without a word
the man drew a knife and Btrnck'Sie Major several
blows wlthlt, r«BbSng Into the chamber as hedid bo:
then, after dealing Mr- Hansel!, the nurse, a horri
ble wound aorosn the bowels, he sprang to the bed
■upen which the Secretary lay, stabbing him two or
three times in the- face and neck; Mr. Seward
arose convulsively and fell from the bed te the floor.
Turning and brandishing his kclfo anew, the
assassin fled Irem the room, cleared the prostrate
form of Frederick Seward In the hall, descended the
stairs In three leap*, and was out of the door and '
upon his horse In an instant. It fs 3tated by a
person who saw hlm’movmt, that although he leaped
upon Ms horse with meet unseemly haste, he trotted
away around the oorhor of the block with circum
spect deliberation.
THE GATHERING OF THE PEOPLE,'
Around both the heesw on Tenth street and the
residence of Secretary Seward, as the fast of both
tragedies became-generally known, crowds soon
gathered so vast and tumultuous that military
guards scarcely sufficed; te keep them from the
doors. .
THE BEATH-CHAHBES-av THE fiHBSIDRHT.
The room to .which the President had been con
veyed is on the first floor, at Sh© end of the hall. It
is only flfteen feet square,, with a Brussels carpet,
papered with brown, and hung with a lltuograph of
Kcsaßonheur’s* “ Horse Fadr,” an engraved copy
of Herring’s “ Village, Blacksmith,” and two
smaller ones of “The Stable” and “The Barn
Yard,” from the same artist. A table and bureau,
spread with crochet work, elg&t chairs and tne oed,
were all the furniture. Upontbls bed, a low walnut
four-poster, lay the dying ’President, the blood
oozing from the frightful wound In Ms head and
staining the pillow. Ail that the median skill of
half a oozen accomplished surgeons could ■ do had
been done to prolong a life evidently ebbing from a
mortal hurt.
AT THE BEDSIDE.
Secretary Stanton, just arriveddrom the bedside
of Mr. Seward, asked surgeon. General Biroej
what was Mr. Lincoln’s condition. “I fear, Mr.
Stanton, that there’s no hope.’? '* Oh, no, General:
no, noand the man, of all others, apparently
strange to tears, sank down beside the bad, the not,
bitter evidences of an awful sorrow trickling through
bis Angers to the floor. Senator Sumner sat on tae
opposite side of the bed, holding one or the Presl.
dent’s hands to his own, and sobbing with kindred
frier. Secretary Weltes stood at the foot of the
ed, Ms lace hidden, his frame shaken with emotion.
General Halleck, Attorney General Spaed,
Postmaster General Dennison, M. ft. Field, As
sistant Secretary of the Treasury, Judge Otto,
General Meigs, and others, visited the chamber
at times, and then retired, Mrs, Lincoln—lint teem
is no need to speak of her. Mrs. Senator Dixon
soon arrived, and remained with her through
the night. All through the night, while the horror
stricken crowds ontslde swept and gathered along
the streets, while the military and police were pa
trolling-and weaving a cordon around the city;
while men were arming and asking each other,
“ what victim' next ?” while the telegraph was send
ing the news from city to city over (he continent,
and while the two assassins were speeding un
harmed open fleet horses far away, Mb : chosen
friends watched about the death-bea of the highest
of the nation. Occasionally Dr. Gurley; pastor
of the'ehufch where Mr. Lincoln habitually at
tended, knelt down to prayer. Occasionally Mrs.
Lincoln and her sons entered, to And no hope
and to go back to ceaseless weeping. Members
,of - the Cabinet, senators, representatives, gene
rals, and others, took turns at the bedside. Chief
Justice OhaEe remained uotil a late hour, and re
turned in the morning. Secretary McOullcch re
mained a constant watcher until 5 A. M. Not a
gleam of consciousness shone across the’ visage
of .the President up to his death—a quiet peace
ful death at last—which came at twenty-two
minutes past seven A. M. Around the bedside ab
this time were Secretaries Stanton,-Welles, Usher,
Attorney General Speed, Postmaster General Den
nison, M. B. Field, Assistant Secretary of the Trea
sury, Judge Otto, Assistant Secretary of the Inte
rior, General : Halleck, General Meigs, Senator
Sumner, F. K. Andrews, of New-York, General
Todd, of Dacotah, John Hay, private secretary,
Governor Oglesby, of lUinbls, General Farnsworth,
Mrs. and Miss Kenny, Miss Harris, Captain Robert
Lincoln, son of the President, and Drs. E. W. Ab
bott, R. K. Stone, C. D. Gatoh, Neal Hall, and
Leibeiman. Jtev. Dr. Gurley, after the- event;
baelt with all around to prayer, and then, entering
the adjoining room where were gathered Mrs. Lin
coln, Captain Robert Lincoln, Mr. John Hay, and.
others, prayed again. Soon after nine o’clock the
rematoß were placed to a temporary coffin and eon
vejed to the white House under a smaill escort.
. SECRETARY SEWARD’S OHA-MBBU,
~ In Secretary Seward’s chamber, a similar at
tnough'fiot -sb solemn a scene prevailed; between
that chamber and the one occupied by president
Lincoln, visitors alternated to and fro through the
night. It--had been early ascertained that the
wounds df -the Secretary were not likely to prove
mortal. A wire Instrument drawn across the sides
of Ills head and under Ms shoulders, to relieve the
pain which he Buffered from hie previous Injuries,
prevented -the knife of the assassin from striking toe
aeon.. The right cheek was laid’open to tbe bene,
anira fearful gash Inflicted In the other. The neck
was pierced In two places, but no arteries were
severed. Mr. Frederick Seward’s Injuries were
more serious. His forehead was stoven in by the
blow from the pistol, and up .to this hour he has re
mained perfectly unconscious. The operation of
trepanning the skull has been performed, but little
hope is haCof Mb recovery. Major Seward will
get well. Mr. HanselPs condition Is somewhat
doubtful. ’
MB. SEWARD INFORMED OF THE ACTS OF THE
ABSASSI2TS.
Secretary Seward, who cannot speak, was not In
formed. of the assassination of the President, and
the injury to his son, until- yesterday. He had.
been worrying as to why Mr. Lincoln did dot visit
him, “why doesn’t the President come,to se3
me 1” he asked with'his pencil. “ Where is Frede
rick, what Is the matter with him 1” Perceiving
the nervous excitement which these doubts occa
sioned; a consultation was had, at which-It was
finally determined that it would bo best to let the
Secretory know the worst. Secretary Stanton was
-chosen- to tell- him. - ’Sitting down beside Mr.
Seward’s bed, yesterday afternoon, be therefore
related to him" a full account of the whole affair.
Mr. Seward was go.surprised and shocked that ne
raised one hand Involuntarily, and groaned.-.
WHAT THE ASSASSINS LEFT BEHIND*
An old-fashioned Colt’s revolver was found in the
hall of Mr. Seward’s residence alter the assassin
left. It is the weapon with which Mr. Frederick
Seward was felled. On the stage beneath the Presi
dent’s box a piece of spur wag found. The gilt
moulding around the front of the box was out, show
ing that tbe spur hit It and was broken as the mur
derer of the President leaped from the box; This,
with the pistol'and hat left In the box, show haw
swift and desperate .were his movements, An ex
periment was made to-day wMoh proves conclusive
ly that the pistol was fired through the door of the
box, as was stated. One man sat In the position oc
cupied by the President; another, peeping through
thehole made through the door by the bullet, round
that Its direction was straight to the bach-of the sit
