f rm. FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1865. 49* We ran taka no notice of anonymous oommn olratlons. We do not return rejected manuscripts. 49* Yeluntary correspondence Is solicited irom all parts of tbs world, and especially from our different military and naval departments. When used, it will tie paid for. Confidence in the United States. We cannot sufficiently dwell upon the inestimable consequences of the triumph of Our armies and the restoration of the Union without slavery. There are many who re member the dark hours of the past, when defeat after defeat encouraged the traitors and filled the loyal States with despond ency, and induced many to doubt the ca pacity,of the Government to maintain it self. Some with a sort of hopeless longing upon those strong and despotic powers, where, citizen had not free dom, bis person and his property were at leastsecure. This feeling, spreading dismay among loyal men, excited joy in foreign countries, and was made the text for exult ing assertions of the fulfilmentof the malign prophecies of the feilure of our republican experiment, because the despots knew its success would be their final overthrow. We can, therefore, better realize what we have gained when we attempt to measure what they, have lost. The conquest of the rebellion is not the mere satisfaction of a ientiment—not the momentary gratification of a spirit of vengeance against those who fomented and forced it on—nor yet the i ,filere proof of the fatal tendency of the bad doctrines born of the spirit of discontent mad doubt in other days, and stimulated by ■ font, most dangerous of sophists and traitors, doHN 0. Calhoun. But it is unsubstantial triumph—a triumph that affects all the living interests of our country—a triumph that strengthens man in his immortal rights .—that makes him freer than ever —that breaks the shackles of the slave—that se cures person and property—banishes repu diation, elevates our national securities in every nation of the world, regulates ex changes, stifles the intrigues of the dema gogues, appals the mob, invites the emigrant and rewards him for coming, solidifies the foundations of religious toleration, fortifieß our coasts, elevates us in the respect of other countries, and makes the name of American, citi zen as honorable and distinguished as the title conferred by any crowned head, or inherited from “ a long line of illustri ous ancestors.” If this sense of the im pregnability of the American Union has gone abroad as our vindication, what a source of rapture it is to the millions at home who have watched this great struggle, and who now feel that they can repose under their own vine and fig tree with none to molest or make them afraid! The Case Reversed. The loyal people of the United States are the most indulgent, forgiving, and magnanimous in the world. The manner in which their Government and themselves have conducted the war against the most atrpcious conspiracy in history will excite the amazement of the future as it has ex cited the surprise of modern historians. Had any similar attempt been made upon any of the old Governments, the punish ment of its authors would have been a butchery. They would have been crucified like the gladiators in early Borne, six thou sand of whom were hanged and strung, says the historian, all along the road from Capua to Borne. The celebrated Dr. Bird, who has embalmed this incident in his play, of which Mr. Forrest, as Spartacus, is the chief, gives a graphic account of the man ner in which they were treated. Now, while it is a fixed fact that the American people have resolved upon the severest measures of justice that can be inflicted by nation upon uncivilized savages _n_way from what they P suppose<f "t™ 'Leslie carcass of the Republic, and who,- at .the moment they believed their country dead, were struck to the earth by its sudden and athletic resuscitation, this is a fitting time to ask the question: What would be the fate of the friends of the Union—of the great champions of the Constitution and the Republic—had they fallen in this struggle, and had Jefferson Davis and his conspirators succeeded ? or, to .put the case still stronger, how would they have been punished had they resorted to the hideous practices so. familiar to the traitors themselves, and so shocking to all humane and civilized experience ? Suppose Union men had fired Richmond, had under mined Libby Prison, had mutilated the rebel soldiers on the battle-field, had scourged from their homes the men who had dared to speak of Davis and his treason, and, finally, had employed an assassin for the purpose of taking the'life of the head of therebellion? A!catalogue of crime so atro cious as this, committed by men who claim to be Christian, would have so startled the .French and English that any measure of punishment, no matter how severe, would have been accepted as reasonable and just; and we need not suppose that slaveholding rebels would have hesitated in resorting to the severest remedy. Here we drop the argument, with the remark that all this and more has been done by the defeated and conquered enemies of free institutions, who had put themselves forward as the most chivalric, refined, and accomplished race on God’s footstool. A Word for Mrs. Lincoln. The munificent voluntary contribution of Maesham.o. Roberts, of New York, to the widow and family of our murdered President, should be emulated by others who, it is to be supposed, indulge the same earnest sympathy, and are equally able to give it practical operation. We must not , forget that this family is now national pro perty, and entitled to national guardian ship. Had Abbakam Lincoln not been called into the Presidency, and compelled by his constitutional obligations to as sume the awful responsibilities resulting from an unparalleled rebellion, he would now, in the natural course of things, be living at peace with his wife and chil dren in the little city of Springfield, Illi nois, though not 80 widely known, yet beloved and respected by his friends. He fell like the hero at his post. He fell be cause he had done his whole duty to his country; a vigilant, unawed,‘and consci entious sentinel, he was a sacrifice to the cowardly hate of his country’s foes. It is well to express the sorrow that flows from the popular heart, and it is better to " commend the wife and children to the care of Providence. It is appropriate, too, that there should be tributes fashioned for and erected to the memory of the illustrious patriot, but there is something more due. The gratitude and the affections of a great peo ple should take immediate shape in pre cisely such manifestations, the example of which has been so generously set by Mr. Robebts, of New York. Sympathy from Canada. It is truly gratifying to notice with what tends sympathy our neighbors across the border are treating the awful fact of Presi dent Lincoln’s death by the hand of a brutal traitor and assassin. We have al ready published several proofs of this, and have now to record another. There has been a numerously- attended meeting at Montreal, under the presidency of Mr. Rvan, Mayor of that city. In his intro ductory remarks, this gentleman said: “ I believe this city unites to a man in deplo ring the ac„t which has taken place in Washington* I believe there is not a man of any origin in this community who does not hold up his bands in. horror, and who •does not hold them up to condemn and punish, ifirfthe matter lay with us, the mau who has committed that dreadful deed.” He moved a resolution expressing, “ most emphatically, the sentiment of horror and detestation” with which the citizens of Montreal regard “the great crime recently perpetrated at Washington by the base and powardly assassination of Abkaham Lra- COLN, late President of the United States.” Mr. D orion, a member of the Canadian Parliament, who spoke in French, seconded this motion, which was unanimously car ried. Mr. Thomas Darcy McGee, a member of the Canadian Government, well known as one of the most eloquent Irishmen now living, a poet of great merit, and also au thor of the only readable and reliable His tory of Ireland yet published, took part in these proceedings, and moved the resolu tion —“That we regard this unprovoked and most atrocious assassination the greatest crime of our age, as committed not merely against the people of the United States, but against our common humanity and against our common civilization.” He made the speech of the day, as follows: “Mu. Mayob abd Gbntlbmbn : I am sure it Is jiardly necessary for me to say that I thoroughly and emphatically endorse every syllable contained Jn that very short bnt expressive resolution. The awful crime that was committed on Frldaynlght last In the city of Washington has thrilled, through every heart In Canada, and bnt one universal senti ment—one universal sentiment, without any excep tion, high or low—prevails lnreiatlon to that orl me. [Cheers ] Thai sentiment, In one view, expresses onr horror and detestation of thlsornel, oold-blooded assassination, and, In another, our deep, sincere sympathy with the nation, thus suddenly, in the midst of rejolclDgs, deprived by a ruthless muroor er’s hand of Its hind hearted and single-hearted Chief Magistrate. [Renewed cheers 1 Never yet did the assassin’s knife reach the core of a cause or the heart of a principle. No wreath of Harmodlus hides Jn history the barren results of these bloody shortcuts to forbidden ends. And as for the wretched, most wretched, criminals in this case, they oannotJoEg: hope to escape their due punishment. They have conspired in whet they have done against the whole civilized world, and the whole civilized world is concerned In their apprehension, trial, and execution. [Cheers.] Be their number more' or less, let the virtuous vengeanoe of the nation bo concentrated and expended upon the guilty; but. In the name of that humanity and civilisation which mourns the fate of the mprdered President; by the membry and example be left to his people—let the avenger’s arm descend only on the guilty, and after due evidence of their guOtlness. [Cheers ] Should this be the course taken by the United States I have so hesitation in saying that their greatest vie tory is yet before them—that a vlotory greater than any won on the field of battle, that the most shining page to their annals Is yet to be written, and that the noblest example of self-government the world has yet seen is about to he set by those who will so endeavor to honor the memory Of Abraham Lincoln, by walking in the way and under the guidance of the spirit of Abraham Lincoln. [Cheers ] And though not men tioned Jn the resolutions, the unity of which could not well be broken, It is rl.kt I should add that the citizens of Montreal, and the whole people of Oanada—from the least to the highest, from the least obtrusive to his Excellency the Governor General —Indulge the hope that- one great victim alone may fall, and that the Secretary of StatefMr. Seward) may still be spared to Ms country and his friends. [Cheers.] Mr. McGee, who lived several years ia New York, and is perfectly familiar with our institutions and the principle of our Constitution and Government, properly estimates the feeling of the American mind. He probably had in his recollection the notable sentence —his latest and most em phatic—spoken by the Irish Judge, Lord Kelwabden, who was assassinated in Emmett’s insurrection of 1808—“ Let no man suffer for my death, except by the just judgment of the law." No greater truth was ever uttered than that deli vered by this eloquent man“ Never yet did the assassin’s knife reach the core of a cause or the heart of a principle.” We have to add that other leading Canadian publicists took part in the proceedings, and, as be came his calling. Dr. Fulford, Bishop of Montreal, who is Metropolitan of Canada,- moved one of the resolutions. It is truly gratifying to find the Canadians so properly estimating the great loss that Humanity has experienced in the murder of Mr. Lincoln. Immigration. There is as much difference between emigration and immigration as between in surance and assurance. A man effects an insurance on his property and an assurance on his life; a man may emigrate with his family, but it is immigration when nume rous families (clustering, as it were) per manently remove, in large bodies, from one country to another. Since the year 1851, the grand total of Irish immigrants has exceeded a million and a half, and the greater number of these have settled in the United States. This depopulation was greater than ever last year. The Agricul tural Statistics of Ireland, for 1864, just published by the British Government, in form us that “ the emigration from Irish ports during the year 1864 amounted to 1 114,903 persons, of whom 61,185 were crease of 2,917, compared with tae, pre-‘ vious year.” About half of this number emigrated from Munster—nearly 40,000 from Queenstown (better known by its old name of Cove) and Cork city alone. The majority, in 1864, and, indeed, ever since 1851, were between the ages of 15 and 35, It has to be noticed that emigrants or im migrants from Munster are usually better informed, more respectable, and much bet ter off than those from Ulster—commonly called “the black North” —or Connaught. As yet, this extensive immigration has carried off only the surplus population of Ireland. This is proved, beyond ques tion, by the fact that the rate of wages— which may be estimated at twenty-five cents a - day for an able-bodied man— has not yet been raised by the Irish exodus. No wonder that a country is miserable in which a man and his wife, with at least two or three children, have to be supported—supplied, with food, cloth ing, lodging, and fuel—out of a quarter of a dollar a day. No wonder, either, that America is a veritable El Dorado to such people. While Ireland is an agricultural country, dependent on the caprices of the seasons and the soil, it is to be expected that her population will sometimes he in a -starving condition. The linen trade and the provision trade are her great .staples, and their materials are supplied by the land and the climate. A severe winter or a wet summer will ruin the grazing and the harvest. The standard food of the coun try, too, is the potato, the least nutritive of all food, and when that foils there is noth ing between the people and starvation. To this country, as the genuine Land of Promise, the surplus population of Ireland must gravitate, for many coming years. Immigration, which was not cheeked by the war, will be immensely increased, it cannot he doubted, now that Peace is re turning* to ns, with prosperity and plenty as her attendants. We have a vast coun try, large enough for millions of indus trious and enterprising people. Race, or language, or creed, makes no difference where equality is the rule, and universal toleration the reigning principle. It would scarcely have'been necessary for us to call attention to the trouble in- Which Mr. Edwabd Ingbbsoll has in volved himself, resulting in his being locked up in default of $2,000 bail, to ans#er a charge of assault and battery with intent to kill, and the carrying of concealed weapons —were it not for the purpose of employing it as a warning to gentlemen, like himself, of extreme Copperhead proclivities. Since the rebellion first broke out Mr. Ingebsoll has made himself, personally, if not publicly, notorious by the bitter and abusive denuuciations he has lavished upon the Federal Government. These have hitherto passed comparatively un noticed, but the popular instincts have been so forcibly excited in the whole of the loyal North by the late calamitous event which deprived this people of its chosen ruler, that his late speech has awakened a feeling to wards him of retributive wrath on the part of those of our citizens who are not ac customed to reason calmly, and could most certainly not have been expected to do so under their recent deprivation. In point ing out, therefore, the incident, a more dis astrous conclusion to which was in all pro bability prevented by the prompt actionjof our police and the step taken by our muni cipal authorities, we do it as a caution to those who may be of the same way of thinking. Scarcely one loyal man is there but would at the present moment refrain from attaching any blame to Captalh J. B. Withington, Jr., however deeply he might regTet the impulse which induced him to embody in his own person the popular feel ing which has so strongly and unequivo cally denounced Mr. Ingebsoll’ s disloyal speech. The people, neither as a mass nor as individuals, in their present great na tional bereavement, are disposed to permit the open and unblushing vindication of Southern treason, or to allow an utter ab sence of all loyalty to be publicly paraded in utter defiance of their mournful feelings and unblenching patriotism. METIERS FROM “ OCCASIONAL.” Washington, April 26,1863. General Grant has performed the first part of his mission, and, it would seem from his despatch, without any of the dif ficulty the apprehension of which dis turbed the minds of many patriotic men. Clothed with all the power of his high position, and strengthened with ample additional discretion, and keenly conscious of lihe irresistible popular feeling against the so-called “ Basis of Peace,” he doubt less soon convinced General Sherman of the necessity of-dissolving an armistice in the last degree deplorable and injurious. Fortunately, the American anny is not composed of mercenaries who do not think for themselves, nor led by men, ail of whom are simply ambitious to promote their own selfish ends at whatever hazards. Our soldiers are a reading and reflecting constituency, with thousands of ties in the local sections, and with strong opinions on the numerous men and measures of the day. The assumptions of the bravest leader cannot blind them to the “higher law” growing from their love of country. Do you remember how many gloomy pro phecies were made when the substitution of another commander for General McClel lan was agitated ? . There was to be a mutiny in the camp that could mot be repressed, and a wholesale resignation 1 of offended officers. But the event came and passed, and was forgotten. And when Iremont was retired we were to have a most extended “radical” explosion. Si gel’s friends were to set all the rivers on fire if their favorite was not clothed with the powers he demanded; and when the brave General Butler'was recalled from the Army Of the James he was set down as sure to array his legions of friends against the good cause. In his case, and m ithat of Sigel, obedience to the Government was cheerfully and patriotically yielded. But if it had been otherwise the stream of national victory would have moved on precisely as it did When McClellan was taken from his dazzling military court, and Fremont denied a position for which, with all |bis merits, he was clearly not qua lified. And this will be the end of General Sherman if he cannot make his case good. There is nothing more, impartial than a great Government, based upon principle, administered by good men, and dedicated to the good offmankind. If it is true that the British Government strikes, down the highest and the bravest, (as indeed all her history, old and new, has shown,) when the vproof of wrong-doing or even of failure is made clear, the custodians of the of this great people cannot hold back—ay, and dare not, even if they would. No one man is absolutely indispensable to the American Union. And he approaches nearest the standard of being all-in-all to our cause who, like our own great sacrificed Abraham Lincoln, ex hibits the steadiest disinterestedness of character, and the most willing spirit of obedience and self-sacrifice. General Sher man has much to explain. The people that showered honors upon him, wor shipped his military genius, and enrolled him among their household gods, are still jealous of his good name, and full of anxiety that he may not proveto be un worthy of the renown he has so nobly earned. Occasional. Washington, April 27,1865. - The travel between Eichmond and Wash ington, and Eichmond and Baltimore, is now opened, by order of the Secretary of to all who will duly register their names at the offices established for that purpose. Hundreds have visited Washington to procure passes to Eieh mond, including refugees anxious to return to their rescued homes, and citizens 'on errands of business or of curiosity. The trip to Eichmond has always been one of the mostinterestingand delightful atthisseason of the year, and in, the days of peace and patriotism crowds flocked to the neighbor hood of Fortress Monroe, which is about ffiidwaybetween WasMncL the sea breezes and the famous living at the fine hotel then in operation at that post, but now; devoted to military purposes. “The Bip Baps,” renowned in General Jackson’s administration as the summer resort of that hero-President, is still an object of interest,, while Norfolk and its splendid harbor, and its sister city, Ports mouth, once the greatest naval station in the country, (and to be so again, let us hope, in the course of time,) add greatly to the attractions of the jaunt. The mighty fleet of transports and vessels of war, including the ships of all the na tions of the world, riding in Hampton Boads, under the guns of the fort, and in lull view of the ocean, is a sight that well repays the labor and expense of the travel. Now that trade is opened between these important cities and the ports of the Union, we may look for a speedy revival in all the avocations of business and com merce checked and Btopped by the rebel lion. Many great interests have waited for these opportunities, and will act upon them with quick zeal. • Eichmond is the great head of the Southern railroads, and Norfolk the outlet for the trade of a mighty back country, including the cotton, rice, tobacco, tar, pine, turpentine, of the South, and the products of the lakes, soon to seek and reach the sea by the canal projected by "Virginia in connection with French capitalists, be fore the rebellion, connecting Norfolk with an unlimited inland navigation. This' spirit must be encouraged, and will go on. The prize is offered to the Southern people, but they must seize it at once, or it will pass from them forever. Northern money and brains had shown what they could do be fore the traitors struck,and they are again on th e quinine, now that the same traitors have been whipped; and these great elements will surely compensate us well for the time that has been lost, or for any hesitation or indifference on the part of the “chivalry," who are still grumbling and scowling over the triumph of the' Old Flag.. Northern men, with their agencies, Emigration, Education, Capital, Energy, Genius, and Courage, will not be deterred by any such nonsense as this, but will enter, occupy, and hold the tempting field thrown open to universal competition. Occasional. Two Goon Suggestions.—The only great crimi nal now at large slnoe the death of Booth Is Jeff Davis, and we see that our armies in North Caro lina are turning their attention to him and his stolen gold and silver. In order to accelerate Ms capture, or at least cause an additionally strong Inducement to pursuers, some of the merchants of New York have suggested a reward of $500,000, by the citizens of-the country, for It. Several have already , signified their willingness to contribute $lO,OOO each, If othere will assist in contributions small or large. The second Is from a correspondent of the New York Evening Post: As Booth was ambitious of Im mortalizing his name, the writer proposes that his body be buried nnder the- pavement In front of Ford’s Theatre, and a flat stone of black marble placed over hiß remains, with this inscription: “ Here lies the assassin." The writer says he will give five hundred dollars towards the purchase of the building, and converting It into a Christian temple of worship.

Thousands of persons visited the yard to-day, in hope of getting a glimpse at the murderer’s remains, but none were allowed to enter who were not connected with 1 the yard. The wildest excitement has existed here ail day, and regrets are expressed that Booth was not taken alive. Tbe news of Booth’s death reaohed the ears or his mistress while she was in a street oar, which caused her to weep bitterly, and, drawing a photo graph likeness of the murderer from her pooket, she kissed it fondly several times. Harrold thus far has evaded every effort to be drawn into conversation by those who have neces sarily come in oontaot with him since his capture, but his "outward appearance Indicates that he begins to realize the position in whioh he is placed, and that there is no hope for his escape from the awful doom that certainly awaits him. His rela tives and friends in this city are in the greatest distress over the disgrace that he has brought upon himself. WHAT ran TO THB OAPTURB OF BOOTH—KOBE INCIDENTS. ~ Washington, April 27.—The fourth edition of the Star has the following further details in relation, to the capture of Harrold and killing of Booth-: The detachment of the 18th New York Oavalry: under Lieut. Dougherty, numbering 28 men, and accompanied by two of 001. Baker’s detective force, which went down tbe river on Monday, obtained the first news of Booth at Port Royal, on Tuesday, evening, from an old man, who stated that four men, in company with a rebel, captain, had crossed the Rappahannock a short time previous, going in the direction of Bowling Green, and added that the oaptaln eould probably be found at that place, as he was courting Vlady there. Pushing on to Bowling Green, the captain was found at a hotel, and taken into custody. From him It was ascertained that Booth and Har rold were at the house of John and William Gar rett, throe miles hack towards Port Royal, and about a quarter of a mile from the road passed over by the cavalry. In the meantime, it appears that Booth and Harrold had applied to Garrett for horses to ride to Louisa Court House, but the lat ter, fearing the horses would not be returned, re fused them, notwithstanding the large cams of fered. The recriminations of Booth and Harrold, each charging the other with the responsibility of their difficulties, had airo aroused the suspicions of tha Garrett brothers, who urged Booth and Harrold to leave, lest they (Garretts) should get Into trouble with our oavalry. This Booth refused to do a horse, and the two men retired to tho barn, which,** after they had entered, one of the Garretts locked, remaining on guard himself in a neighboring oorn crlb, as he alleges, to prevent his horses from being taken and ridden off in the night by Booth and Harrold, Upon the approash of our oavalry from Bowling Green, about 3 A. M. on Wednesday, tha Garretts came out of the corn-crib to meet them, and In an swer to their Inquiries directed them to the barn. Booth was at once summoned to surrender, but re fused. Harrold expressed a willingness to give hlm selfiup, but was overruled by Booth for some time, finally, however, surrendering, leaving Booth in the barn. The latter, assuming a defiant air, called out to know the commanding officer, and proposed to him that the men should be drawn up at fifty yards distance, when he would come out and fight them. After the baric had been burning three-quarters of an hour, and the roof was about to fall in, Booth, who had been standing with a revolver In one hand and a carbine resting on the floor, made a demonstration as if to break through the guard olid escape. To prevent this Sergeant Cor bett fired, intending to hit Booth in the shoulder: so as to cripple him, the ball, however, striking a little too high, entering the neck, resulting as be fore stated. Booth had in his possession the short, heavy bowie knife with which he struck Major Rathbone, a Spencer carbine, a seven shooter of the Massa chusetts manufacture, three revolvers, and a pocket pistol. He wore, in addition to his suit of gray, an ordinary cloth oap, a heavy high-topped ' oavalry boot on his right leg, with the top turned down, and a Government shoe on his left foot. No clue could be obtained to theothertwomen, so taking the two Garrett’s into custody, the com mand immediately set ont for Washington, after releasing the captain. Lieut. Doughetty, who commanded the squad ron, entered the service with the 7lst New York Militia. To-day he has been greatly lionized, and on the street was. repeatedly surrounded by citi zens, who occasionally manifested their appreola . tion by loud cheers. The tvvo Garretts are dressed In rebel gray, hav ing belonged to Lee’s army, and have just returned home en parole. They profess to have been entirely ignorant of the character of Booth and Harrold, and manifest great uneasiness concerning their connec tion vyith the afialr. Booth and Harrold made a narrow escape from being captured on this side of tha Potomac. Mar tial Murray and a posse; of New York (detectives tracked them to within a short distance of Swan Point, bnt the Marshal being unacquainted with the Country, and without a guide, during the night took the wrong road, smd before he eould regain the imeiosslng.yhe, river to thd Virginia shore. > The report that Booth attempted to shoot himself while In the ham Is Incorrect. He, however, la Ms parley with his besiegers indicated that ha oould not be taken alive. His manner throughout was that of a hardened desperado,’knowing that Ms doom was sealed, and preferring to meet it therein that shape, rather than by the more Ignominious death awaiting Mm, if captured. Tie appeared to pay little attention to the Are raging about Mm, until the roof began to fall In, -when be made a movement Indicating a purpose to make the desperate attempt to out Ms way out, and, perhaps, really hoped to succeed, amid the smoke and confusion. It was this' movement on Ms part that seems to have caused Corbett to fire the fatal shot. Harrold, before leaving the bam, laid down Ms pistol, wMoh was picked up by Booth, who had it In Ms hand at the time he was shot. The pistol used by Corbett was the regular large sized cavalry pistol. He was offered $l,OOO this momlEg for the weapon, with Its five undischarged loads. ' . This afternoon Surgeon General Barnes, with an attendant, held an autopsy on the body of Booth. It now appears that Booth and-Harrold had on elotMng wMoh was originally of some other color than Confederate gray, but, faded and dusty, It pre sented that appearance. Our Special Despatch. INTERESTING ADDITIONAL PACTS CONCERNING BOOTR’S CAPTURE —GKBAT EXOITEMEHT IB WASBIBSTOB—A LARGE CROWD MUCH MIS TAKRK, BTC. We hare been In oontlnual excitement here since about Blx o’clock yesterday evening, when an Im mense crowd was attracted to the lront of the Kirk wood Bouse and Its vicinity by the report that Booth, dressed In female attire, had been seen to enter a liooso in the block on which the Kirkwood stands, bounded by Pennsylvania avenne, Eleventh and Twelfth, and. E streets. Hastening there, the whole Equare was found surrounded by guards, who prevented egress or Ingress within the Hook. ''■Various minors, inconsistent and foolish, were afloat, all calculated to luerease the excitement The whole thing being boiled down, amounted to tbls: An Intoxicated Individual, just out of the sta tion-house on the oharge of drunken ness, told an offi cer that he had, at about 6 o’clock yesterday after noon, met Booth, and shaken hands with him; that Booth’s face was blackened so as to resemble a negro; that he was dressed In female attire, and that he entered a house on E street, In the block above named. Search was made all through the ' square, and at about 9 o’clock last night the chase was given up. Just about that hour we had the "most positive statements, from reliable sources, that Booth had been captured; that he resisted the effort to take him, and had been Bhot dead In attempting to escape, &0., &c. By midnight we knew the main leatures'of the history of the capture and death of the assaßßln, but, as the order from the Secretary of War prohibited any mention of these facts by telegram, the newspaper fraternity, al though assured there was no doubt of Booth’s death, werercompelled to forego the announcement. This morning’s papers came to us, but no bulletin from Mr. Stxhtoh, and hence the public at flmt doubted the truth of the semi-authorltatlve state ments of the evening before, so prevalent upon the streets.- At about-ten o’clock this morning, however, the officer who shot Booth, and others engaged in the expedition In search of him, came upon the streets, and from them, we were enabled to get a truthful story, though confused, and as yet .some what lndlgeßtlble. The news spread with great ra pidity, and by U o’clock almost everybody In Wash ington beard the welcome hews of Booth’s oapture, -and the rather unwelcome Information that he had been killed, for the almost universal feeling was in favor of a lair judicial trial and oonvietion of the as sassin. Prom, .the mass of confused and Incoherent statements of the facta of the pursuit and capture of Booth and his accessary and Confederate, Has- Boido, it la impossible, before the hour of closing the midi, to make a connected and consistent histo ry-of -the affair, and . I will content my self by-sending the subjoined statements from the Alexandria Journal, whose account Is belleved'to be pretty correct, prefacing the same, however, by the statement that Cohbbtt, the person who shot Booth, Is a native! of England, 1b about .33 years old, oame'to New York Horn England, and resided' In Troy for some years; was once a resident of Bos ton,-where he became a member of the Methodist ' Church, and took the name of •“ Bostoh” In bap tism, and has been known since by the name of Bostoh Cohbbtt. He 'is a religions, abstemious, quist-person, of- short stature,- slight figure, and wears his hair and whiskers rather Fremontlsh. On Friday night he prayed, be Bays, “that God would, not lay. innocent blood, to his charge, but bring the guilty to punishment,” and he thinks this prayer was.heard, and through it he was enabled to bring the assassin down. Upon Booth’s person was found a draft by the Ontario Bank of Canada on a London bank for sixty-one pounds. He bad upon hla person also a diary giving account ol every transaction slucr he assassinated President Lihooln. ' His diary Is. In the hands of the Secretary of War. - The Alexandria Journal says : We have had an interview with two of the cavalrymen engaged In the captureof the assassins. From them we learn that the whole party oonslsted of twenty-eight, ln cludlngtwo detectives. The first information re speettng Booth’s orosslng the river, and hls proba ole whereabouts, was obtained from disbanded rebel soldiers, who were met with In all directions In that part of the eountry. From one and another of these the clue to Booth’s movements was gathered and held, until just at daybreak they came upon the barn wherehe and Harrold were secreted. . A parley was held, and Booth manlfening the most desperate determination not to be taken alive, and to take as many of the lives of the party as pos sible, Lieutenant Edward P. Doherty, who com manded the scouting party, determined to make short work of him. When Harrold saty the prepa Washington, April 27, rations for firing the n't aghttf titlr ly at fifty yards.

Mr. Trenholm, Confederate Secretary of the Trea sury, and all the other big wigs, were in Greens boro, and, as we stated yesterday, made off with Jeff Davis. Mr. Trenholm was appealed to by oitlzenß to sell them some of his gold for Confede rate notes, the would-be purchasers oflerlng.to pay any price, but he was too sensibma secretary to entertain for a moment any such proposal. ; Governor Smith, on the 12th inriant, by a request of somebody, Made a Bpeech to the-people of Greens boro, urging them all to Hook to the banner of Joe Johnston, but not a.man, our Informant is positive; was Infiuenoed by the exhortation. On the 14th instant Davis BWrted south with his oavalry escort. Smith returned to Danville, and General Johnston remained at Greensboro. At that date Johnston’s army was supposed to number somewhere between so,odd and .80,000 men of all arms. The Davis party spoke openly of their intention of making for the trans-Mississippi, and expressed confidence that they could get over with out interference. The Richmond Whig, of April 28th, contains the following: “ From a gentleman who left Greens boro, N. 0., on the 14th instant, and who reaohed Richmond last Sunday, we gather seme interesting items of news. Jeff Davis, General Johnston, and Governor Smith, were all In Greensboro, N. C., on 13th Instant. Davis looked as cheerful as if he had never heard of a disaster to bis, army. He mingled freely with the citizens and soldiers. . The treasure of the Richmond banks and the gold of the Uonfe. derate Treasury was at that-at Goldsboro (1) 'Whether Davis carried it off with hlmourlnfor mant did not know.

So, on Friday, the 11th Inst., he sent In a flag of truer to-Genoral Sherman, ash ing that hostilities might cease until General Grant could be sent for. , Gen. Sherman replied that If a surrender was the objeot of the truce he had full'powers la and that the same terms would be allowed as were allowed to Gem. Leo. It was Intended, that a meet ing should take place on Saturday, but they were delayed'. Gen. Kilpatrick, who was- the advance guard, and Gen. Hampton, were entrusted with Erin gleg about the meeting, but Kilpatrick, In his despatches to the latter, omitted to enclose General Sherman’s reply, although he spoke of It aB being enclosed. Bnt this *as rectified. The letter was.- sent, and Johnston answered, requesting aft interview- On Sunday an - officer of Sherman's ' staff was accordingly despatched, through Kil patrick, to arrange with Wade Hampton the preliminaries of the meeting. Everytsfcg worked well, and. In .the afternoon an informal meet ing took plaoe between the two generals, the staff officers of each being present. At this Interview Johnston desired several days’ truce so that he couiQ consult Breckinridge and Davis, hut this re quest Sherman steadily and firmly refused. Bala Tell during all the day and tho roads were very muddy. The-troops on bothsldes were all, ordered into camp-und Sherman’s troops did go, although recent reports load ns to believe that Johnston’e;dld net, but filed them away for Georgia, This may, however, be uncharitable and untrue. But little cordiality existed on this occaaion-batween tho offi cers of the two armies. An account says: <• They kept to themselves for the most part, and i seemed HUlelncllned to exchange, cl vilifies. Our ; officers had provided themselves with cigars, wines, ' -and osher creature eomforts, which, they: freely ottered to their rebel friends, but they were gene rally declined. The only really disagreeable cir cumstance, however, w&b avtorcy and exalted al tercation between Generals Hampton and Kil patrick. "Tho former xentleman was evidently In very bad hnmor. Thelatter was Inclined to take things pleasantly, until Hampton characterized the recent surprise of-Kilpatrlck’e camp as a disgrace. This roused Kilpatrick’s ire, and he taauto* Hamp ton by saying that he got out of his camp in a big hurry, so much so that be did not have time even to take the colors with him, much less the ammuni tion and guns. They became more and more ex clmd ss they talked of the advantages each claimed he bad gained, till their respective superiors were obliged to Interfere. The difference tn the appear ance’and manner of tho contracting parties was quite marked. General Sherman, with his coat uu buttmed, bis hands In his pockets, was quite cheer ful and at bis ease. General Johnston, with his coat carefully buttoned, his uniform new, and look ing every Inch the soldier, appeared quite haggard and care-worn. It was unquestionably a very un pleasant duty he was performing, and weighed heavily upon him.” Johnston finding himself compelled to submit In this, as In all other things, complied with Sher man's demand ibr a meeting on the next day, Monday It took plaoe at 12 M, at the house of a citizen named James Bennett, a little to the left of the Chapel BUI road, on the Hillsboro Ball road, five miles from Durham’s station, and thirty miles from Kalelgh. General Sherman was ac companied by hts chief engineer, Colonel O. M.'Poe, General Barry, General Kilpatrick, and others of bis staff. General Johnston by wade Hampton, Major Johnson, and others of his staff; and General Breckinridge. There was more cordiality In .this interview between all the officers except Kilpatrick and Hampton, who had In mind their differences of the previous day. The Incidents of this second In terview are thus sketched: 11 After the more important question had bean set tled, Geneials Sherman and Johnston conversed freely and frankly. General Sherman said, and General Johnston fairly admitted, that the grand Army of the Mississippi was the best, army ever marshaled. ‘ Why,* said Johnston, ‘my engineers, my officers, and the people of South Carolina all insisted upon It, that no army could ever penetrate Salkahatcbie swamps, and you have not only marched yonr army through It, but corduroyed and bridged It for miles, ana then drew after you your Immense supply trains. The like, could not have been done by any oiher army.’ ‘ General Wade Hampton denied that the South was con quered or ever worsted, and folly reannounoed the theory that one Southern man could whip three Northern men. Daring the Interview of the two generals, Colonel Poe and Major Johnston, chief engineers of the two armies, had a -long and friendly Interview. Major Johnston ex pressed his admiration for the engineering ability manifested by Sherman’s army In Its march through South Carolina. Tho two officers questioned each other about their departments, and at the rebel exrglceer’s requesfcj Poe showed hi ox oar plan of building pontoons. Major Johnston proved himself a thorough gentleman, and, as he parted from Major Foe, expressed a hope that they would soon meet under more favorable circumstances. In speaking of the armies in tbe Southwest, Sherman In quired where General Wilson with, his cavalry was, ‘He is at Columbus, Georgia,’ replied Johnston, ‘and I wish for God’s sake that you would.stop him, for he is raiding all through that country, tearing everything to the devu.’ General Sherman then showed Johnston a despatch be had just received from Gilmore, saying that Potter, with a force of infantry and cavalry, was finishing the work of devastation In South Ca rolina. Sherman forestalled Johnston’s request to have that stopped,by saying that he thought It would not hurt ihat~people to bear a still heavier burden. ‘ Let Potter burn a little longer,’ said he. General Breckinridge was morose and reticent. He showed plainly how deep was his humiliation. He conversed, however, with those who addressed him, and to General Sherman, In a discussion as to the slavery question, made this remarkable confession : ‘ The discussion of the slavery question Is at am end. Tbe amendment to the Oonstltutloa forever for bidding Blavery Is perfectly fairy and will be accept ed In Chat spirit by the people of the South.’ If this is the feeling ol the olass he parUoularly represents, we ball It with joy.” . ‘ It is stated that In both thege Interviews Sher man was fully aware of the murder of tho Presi dent, having been Informed of It on ■ the day of the first meeting. Johnston, It is further stated, was in communication with Davis during the whole time-. DEPARTMENT OF THE GULF. THE HEBEI. DICE TATLOB BEADY TO BBBBBBDEB.
