ElfTHE trial of Miss Maiit Harris,
who shot Mr. Burroughs', a clerk in the Trea
sury . Department, is uow in progress a'
Washington, D. C. The defence have set
up the plea of temporary insanity at tho
time the deed whs committed. Public sym
pathy at Washington, runs strongly in favur
of Miss Unrris. That sho has been greatly
wronged by the deceased there can be no
doubt.
A number of letters from deceased to ao
cuted were read in court. The following
extract from one of these epistles is a lair in
dex of the whole. It is dated Monday, Air
gust 33, 1839, Rtid u addressed to "Oh '
My dear little Rosebud." Burroughs writes '

! When ths court bad arilved at its deci
sion it was Immediately carried to the Presl,
dent by his order, and on Wednesday he, in
company with Judge Advocate General
Holt, 6arfully reviewed it; thoroughly ap
proved it, and apportioned the sentences.
The next step was to make known to those
who had received the death sentence, how
near and how terrible was the end they had
brought upon themselves by their own acts
by their own wicked perversity. 'This
duly was assigned to Major General Hart
ran ft, who has, ever since the incarceration
of the assasins, been entrusted with their
safe keeping, r At 13 o'clock yesterday, ac
companied by, JtyiJ'jr General Hancock, he
went to the cells of each of the four con
(lurried prisoners, and performed what must
at all time be an unpleasant duty. ... , ....
, HOW IT WAS RECEIVED..
The first cell visited was that of Tavno.
He was found,-we nro told, cooly reading,'
and when his visitors entered, rose and con
versed with intelligent politeness, Oehertd
llartratilV immediately made known hid
errand, read the specifications of the court
and the approval of the" President,-and
waited for their effect ou the prisoner.
There was none. The eamo imperturba
bility was manifested that kccmei to sur
round him during the w hole trial ; as if in
a mantel of ice,, lie received the Announce
ment as if Ife 'eSpected it, and was prepared
l brave eyttj-y consequence, lie thanked
the o Ulcers (or llie. knd treatment he had
uniformly received while a primmer, and
made a few remarks, about his connection
with the great pint. He thought when he
first enured into it that he was right the
Confederacy hud tuken too strong a hold on
his heart to ever allow hint to Iwlieve that
he was wrong. In the light of after circum
slaucts be began to consider, however, that
he was wrong, and he was sorry for it. Thus
coolly he talked with the certainty of death
ou the morrow ; but not a quiver of the lip
betokened that hu feared w hat was bearing'
down on him so terribly and surely. . . i
But his case differed from that of Atzcr
ott. Your readers have all read with more
or leas attention the copious reports of the
trial, and they know Unit Atzerott has been
represented us a being entirely destitute of
any manly quality, let alone that of courage.
The record he-made then lie did not depart
from now. A ominous word after word
fell fit m the lips of the soldier-bearer of
dark tidings, they seemed to full with
agouizing sharpness on every fibre of his
being., 11 is green, dull eyes were befillcd
up by fear, with an expression where before
ail was expressionless, j Ilia lips paled to
ashes ; his whole form shook as if tlieu and
there the deadly drop was about to descend
which would rob him of his life. , II o made
no acknowledgements spoke no words
for strength and speech bad alike left him,
and it was alter a considerable time that he
could ui-k that his relatives might be allow

EXCITEMENT OVER TDK SENTENCK.
The prisoners passed the night quietly ;
what they did is only known to the Eye
that looked down from among the Blar.
and pieced their luttastN'e prison walls.
Their friends and 'couiisel dining the day
endeavored in Tain to shako the liriuuess of
the President," His Will had been fixed,
and its dictates must be carried into effect.
Entreaties, arguments, appeals, importuni
ties were to hiiu nil in vain; hu inexorably
referred them to Judgo Holt, who, like the
President, wns firm ; and the suppliants
went away w ith tears in their eyes, imd de
epuir in their hearts. Yesterday morning
the counsel for Mrs. Suratt, finding that
persuasion-was null, uttempted law through
a'writ of habeas iiorpus, staying her execu
tion, but this failed like all the rest of the
efforts.
A BAD SCENE A DAL'OIITEU'S LOVE.
When hopes through frieuds and counsel
had tailed when the execution of Mrs. Su
ratt seemed sure her daughter, vaiuly
hoping, in tlie fondness of her heart, that
her iuilueuce wight do what other influence,
powerful as it was, had failed to do, sought
an interview with the Presuleut. On Thurs
day evening she had made the attempt, but
in vain, bo, early thin morning, iu com
pany with a lady friend, she came to the
President's oflieo, The President, feeling
unwell, had ordered that no one should be
ud in it ted to hiiu . to day, and the usher, in
abedience to the order, refused her an
audience. She plead with him, called him
by endearing titles, appealed to his man-,
hood, his huniun sympathy, everything;
but no other response was received than
'You caunot see tlie President." As a lust
resource she asked for bis private secretary,
General Muzzy, who kindly appeared almost
as soon as summoned. To bun sho prayed,
of him she begged that be might use bis
influence to let her say but one little word
to the President, to just let her speak to
biru ooco. Poor girl I she little knew that
jnstice could not be turned aside by one
little word, though 4Ut . .
"Tears, lik th. rin4roM, should Wl-wlthout a-

The Secretary, his heart full of sympathy,
told ber H was not possible, and il' it was,
nothiug could be gained . by 'one little
word. Hope was yet strong for li.jf. The
mother who had reared her and watched
over her youth j the mother whose smile,

from ber, for he was. in tears. IJronzed sol
diers, 'Strangers and citizens .who stood
around and looked upon the harrowing
scene were, moved .'as well,, and.it were
better the interview should cease. When
the last stsy bad broken Miss Suratt threw
herself upon the steps and gave herself to a
perfect abandon of woe. "Her kind, good
mother her good, good, sweet mother, was
going to die 1" Ob, bow terrible the thought,
snd yet how true 1 But at last she quieted
down considerably, and was taken into the
east room, where she remained several hours,
eagerly listening to the opening and shut

time that some one. might come who might

The Misses Harold also called and failed
likewise. : They were clad in deep mourn

demonstrative as Miss Suratt.
THK MEETINGS AND THtt TARTINOS. , i
Shortly before half-past i. twelve o'clock
the sisters of Harold, seven inl number, we
lieheve, visited him, and wo were told by
the clergyman officiating Rev. Mr. Olds, of
Christ OpistcopHl) Lburch,) that the farewell
was inexpressibly . tender. ''Nobody cauio

and his five sisters early in the morning.
His mother visited him about the same time
that the sister and daughter of Mrs. Suratt
visited her. . The old mother knelt by her
sou's bed, us he reclined in the position we
have already described, kissing hiiu again
with all the yearning tenderness of a sorrow

of the meeting, sue spoke no word, and

and the bronzed soldiers and officers whe
stood guard at the door, manfully as they
struggled against their rising emotions,
could not help mingling their tears with
those of the mother and the son. , .
But, perhaps, the most affectintr of all the
partings was that between Mrs. Suratt and
her sister imd daughter. The devotion of
the latter lint been sketched, but she was
equalled . in a sister's love. Nothing could
be seen in the cell, but the words were loud
and full of agony: "Oh! mother, I can never

SAD INTERIM.
While these peencs were transpiring in tho !
prison, aniil after the gathering of five or
six hundred citizens, and soldiers bad be-j
come habituated to their moving within, a I
rumor gained currency that "Payne lust i
night had made, a confession, which is very (
importunt to Mrs. Surratt, and would, at
least, result in a reprieve." Wq givo below j
what was culled the "confession:"
The Rev. Dr. A. Gil lot to hnd had a great j
deal of conversation with Payne, He re-j
veuled to him the fact that he wns a son of i
Rev. George C. Powell, a Bnptint clergyman,
residing at Live Oak Station, in Talluhatisce i
county, Florida He had two brothers, both j
of whom he believes were killed in tho Con-
federate service, and several sisters, lie save ,
he enlisted iu the rebel service when he was ;
sixteen years old, and is now about twenty
years ot age. He was captured st the baUi
tie of Gettysburg and imprisoned at Biilti- i
more, w here ho succeeded in making his
escape. He subsequently joints! Harry uil
mor's forces, but U-came dissatisfied and
deserted. He ufterwurds connected himself
with Moseby'g bund of guerillas; and here,
he says, he found a most desperate set of
follow s. He says hu Unlisted in the rebel
service from a sense of -tluty, and with u
conscientious belief that he wag performing
an obligation ho owed to his (the Confede
rate) Government. It should be here stated
that be njs he entered the rebel service
ngainst the will of his parents. He was in
duced to join the cavalry force under Moseby
on account of his inability to stand the'
severe inarches of the iufuntry. and says that
ho frequently became faintand fell to the
ground. To his connection with Moseby V
band he attributes his introduction to Booth1:
and the evils consequent thereto. He de
sired the clergyman to let Mr. Seward know!
that "he bad no muliee against him, as be-j
tweon man and man," to use his own words,!
"but ho had agreed to do his duty, and
could not as he then mistaking'.y thought, I
back out."- He suid he was to have no re-'
wurd for it; no compensation had been j
promised him. The only benefit he expect-1
ed to derive w as the approval of his so-culled '
Government.' He expected promotion if be !
was successful, mid be had nlwivi hei-n Iwt I
m ueueve iuai ino uourederacy would tri
umph, either by the force of arms or the
recognition of foreign Powers.
He says the first idea was to capture the
Presideut, Mr. Seward, and other prominent
characters. ' With that understanding he
was persuaded to lend bis assistance. The I
plan of assassination was broached at the
very Inst -moment. He requested Dr. Gillette ;
to writu tolas relatives, and say that he
repented and had his boon. in ll onvnn. I la I
impressed the clergyman as a person of more !
" iMuwuiy intellect, ana possessed or
correct religious ideas. He had a few small
articles, u knife, and a Bible, which he de
sired tho clergyman' to send to his people,
lie has six sisters. In the Bible were lorue
flower hu had pressed white couvolvoius
and blue larkspur that ban grown in his
priton-yard. H8 ws entirely resigned to
his fate, and said be could never again enjoy
life, even if he were pardoned.
This rumor was passed along industriously
through the crowd, gathering as it went,
till at lust, many believed aud asserted that
the reprieve bad actually been sent, and was
now in the hauas of Father Wiget, who
would promulgate it in the old-fashioned,
romantic way,- just as the noose was tight
ening round her neck, and another second
would find her on the borders of eternity.
Much sympathy wss expressed in a sly wsy
for Mrs. Surratt. because she was a "woman.'
"It is barbarous, anyhow, to bang a wo
man," one woold say. 1 ' . c
"Women are very rarely bung in any
ooantry, and our Government w ill not do it,"
would chime in another, till at last, in some
minds, it became not only an improbable
but an impossible matter that Mrs. Surratt
should be hung that day. But all their
speculations are hushed, for lol the prison
door opens, and by the bustle within, by the
serried raake of bayonets tilling all the ves
tibule, the front ranks kneeling, and those
in tbe rear standing erect, and the exit of
Mejer Qeaeral Hancock and Brigadier Gen
eral Mitchell and stalls, it is readily guessed

struggled as a strong man in the throes.
His chest spasmodically contracted and ex

received a special report of the confession
of Atzerott, which was prepared 'by ot wko
has known bi since Jiisf fcrresi Toe de
tails of tbe plot to 'abduct! and murder the
President, which are -set forth below, were
given to tbe author by Atzerott himself but
a short time before bis death.
George Andrew Atzerott was born in tbe
kingdom c4 Prussia, in 1883, and came to
.America! with )iU.paea fin 1844 'They
arrived in Baltimore, at which place he re
aided, with bis lainily, -for about- one year,
when, with lis parents,' lie moved to West
morland county, Virginia. . ri
t sPuj-aii introduced Atzerott to Hootb, avtto
feasted bim and furnished him witb money
and horses, the horses' beipg held, in the
name rf tenratt,--wkb-1ap'peared to' be ''the
principal iit tli ulwenoV Jf llooth. Th first
meeting' 'of Atfll -' conspifa'tori actively' -engaged
was at a"Valoorl ''oh Pennsylvania
avenue, tailed' Gttrai'' ' Gautiersl1 ' 'At
tin -meeueav u,afeliUnAm(l;, Surest,
Booth and Alzerott,rpttseut. The first
attempt to abdmrt the; President was to be
on tbe Seventh street ruu about thu mid-:
dleot ilarou, Tbey fctpected the President
to visit u camp. U Laugliliu. Arnold, Payne,
Suratt,' Boots, 'and' Atzerott were present
llarrold left in tlie baggy with the carbines
lor 1. U. llie plan was to seize the conch
of the President, Suratt to jump on the box,
as he was considered the best driver and
make for T. B., by way of Oldfields to' the
Potomac river, in tbe, vicinity of Nanjemoy
Creek, where tLey had. a boat waiting with
wen to carry .over Ike party-tb boat was
capable of currying fifteen men a large flat
bottomed bntteao, puiutcd lend color. W hich
had been bougbtrl'u(, the purpose by Booth
from two men named Brauuer and Swoot.
This plan tailed, the ' President not coming,
ar they desired. ,; Harold went the next
morning to Washington, ami all things re
mained i quiet .for some time alter this.
Booth went Kortli. Arnold and O Lsughlin
to Baltimore. Payne aud Aruold loft ako
for Kew.Torlk A (nAn.noiiizd Howell "was
about- thr Ttiile-otrcsteil. which alarmed
Surutt. and he left with a Mrs. Schalutter
for the North.- This was nbout the 1st ol
April. The next ' plan - was to visit the
theatre on the night -the President was ex
pected tbere, Jtr was arranged that Suratt
and Booth were to g(v to tlw -box.-Arnold,
O'Laughlin ' and Payne wero to act some
important part in getting bim out, Harold
aud Atzerott were to have charge of the
horse, ' and an actor w as to be secured to
pt)t O'iiV fliC gas. Booth, rcpredcuted that
the best assistant he bad was ail actor.. 14
this plau Luggies "and' horses were to be
used.. A rop. which was prepared aud to
be at Keyd's was to be stretched ncross the
road to impede the ciiVilr in the pursuit.
The route this time was t(ie same us be
fore' except bt) they -Were to cross the
Cistern Brunch'. Bridge.' This whole afl'uir
failixjl.' hnd Booth, said "it is all up," and
spoke of going to Hichmoud aud opening a
tUestru and promised Atzerott employment
in it In some capueity. Atzerott was wait
iug for Booth to arrange his going to
ItiuUmood. whra the ntlair-wus renewed
agaiu. He had taken a room at the Kirk
wood House. Hurrotd called on him and
left his kuile, pistol, and coat 'in the room
uud told him BootU wuated to see him at
the IirUoa -Uouse, to. .which plncohe re
paired with Harold i ' Thie was in the eveu
ing. about, six o'clock, .nnd he thero met
Booth uud Payne. Booth said you must
kid Johnson. Atzerott demurred, when
Booth replied, "Hurrold ,1ms more courage;
he will do it; go. get your horses; what
will become ot you anyhow." Atzerott and
llarrold. went dowa Kiuth street together,
and Atzerott said, ;'we- must not disturb
Johnson. ilarroUl laughel,-iKt wanted
the key of the-room.- It was refused by
Atzerott, who expressed, himself as teaitul
that harm would be done Mr. Johnson,
llarrold left to go to sue Uoctb, and Atze
r. trweut to the, pystr Bay. Harold came
alter, aud said 3ooth ' 'wanted. l;o 'see .him.
A'tzerotf-did' not' relOTlV.to the IClrkwood
House thaf night. . Booth tolil. Atzerott
that Suratt was ln'ttie city, and 1 hut he had
just left him. Atzerott did not sec Booth
niter leaving -lttn at -the ilerndon House,
and be" roamed about the streets nearly all
night, and first heard of the murder about
half past ten o'clock, while passing up the
.r,..u. Tl euV.,lry were rushing by ut,
tbetinit,n Vuu't. U threw away his
kniiju that niht, and parted witli his pis
tol next morning, to a fiitnd in George
town. Atzerott , bud nothing to say ut any
of tho former meetings. He knew uothing
alatut the rope found ; w ith .Spangler. Ho
believed Spangler innocent ; as far as he
knew.' -'Booth, when applied to for money,
woulci remark, be bad money iu JJew York,
and would get smile.- At oue time in the
lring, or bite iu. the. whiter. M.s. SellUiter,
Mrs. (jurat, John Suratt, and a ' Major liar
row, formerly of the rebel army, left Wash
ington i together. They got hores from
Howard's. Mr. Suratt stopped at Suratt'
villeV and the' rest " went to the Potomac.
Majof Barrow returned.' and Atzerott did
not think he had nuytliiog- to do w ith the
conspiracy, although tie was formerly in the
rebel army.'' 1 f . . .i ,i
One of Booth's-plans' to obtain an en
trance to the house of Secretary Soward was
an invention, i which,- if sucoessi'ul, would
have ir-volved others in his foul act. He
hud made the acquaintance ,'of- a imin of
strong Southern fet-lingft, liye'd uot far from
tbe Secretary's house, who was to make the
acquaintance 6f a servant, who was to be'
introduced to Booth, and by this means he
would learn something of the location of
the rooms, etc. As far as knowu, this plau
failed. . - .- . , : .
Booth was well acquainted with Mudd,
and had letters of introduction to hi in.
Booth told Ataerott, about two weeks be
fore the murder, that be had sent provisions
aud liquor to Dr. Mudd's for the sitpplv of

assist us very much if you would extend the
benefits of the Proclamation - to - persons

I ?Tbe President replied itlia't '-to' Disking
that exception he had acted on the natural
supposition that men had aided the rebel
lion according te the extent of their pecuni
ary means. Did they not know this!
i On of tht deputation. No ; he didn't
know it. " i c r
The PretiJent.r- Why, yes you do; you
know rjerfectTJ wll that. U wa the wealthy
men of the South who dragooned the peo
ple into secession. -I lived, in the -South,
and I know how tbe thing was done. Your
State was overwhelmingly opposed to
secession, Vnur rich men used the press and
bullies iind your little army to force the
Stute into secession. Take the 120,000
clause. Suppose a man is worth more than
that now tho war is over, and the chances
are ten to one that he made it out ot the re
bellion by Cou tracts, &c. We might as well
talk; plainly about tins, matter. 1 ton t
think that you are so very anxious about re
iieving the poor. You want this clause re
moved so as to enable you to make money,
dou't you? II you are very euger to help
mo poor wny dun t you take the surplus
over the f 20,000 you own, and give it to
them? In Unit way you'll help them, and
bring yourselves w ithin tbe benefits of the
proclamation. I am free to say to yon that
1 think some of you ought to be taxed on all
over 20,000 to kelp Hie pool. ' When I was
Military Governor of Tennessee I assessed
such taxes on thnte who hud been wealthy
leaders of the rebellion,' a ad' it had a good
effect. "' T ' : 1
On of the dcputition.'ll so happens that
none ot us were leaders. c staid out as
long as we could, and were thu last to go
in.
The Prendtut.-Ttvwen( ' those that
weut in last were among the worst after
they got in. But be that as it may. . Un
demand me gentlemen, I do not say this
personally. 1 am just speuking of tlie gen
eral workini; of the matter. 1 know there
has been among some an effort to persuade
the people tout tli4 Aniiiestv 1 Tovlaimilion
was injuring them, I. v sliultiii" up capita
and keeping woik Irom the p. n r. it does
no such thing. If tli,.t is l.i: i.t nil, it U
done in consequence ol the violation of the
law and the coninii-Moti of treason.
The President concluded by saying that
he would look ut the papers they preseuted,
but so fur he had seuu no reason for re
moving the 13th exception. .:
