Pro» the correspondence of the New York
Serald we take the following.;exceedingly in
teresting details of the frightful crime which
has oversbhdowed the whole Ichd with gloom:
SIATEMEST OF MAJOR JtATtIBCN.
The President’s box at Ford’s Theatre is a
double one, or what ordinarily constitutes two
boxes, in the second tier, at the' right of the
stage. 'When occupied ’by the.’Presidential
party the separating: partition is removed, and
tbfe two are thus thrown into one; This box is
entered from a narrow, dark hall way, which
in torn is separated from the dress-circle by a
small door. The examination c£ the premises
discloses the fact that the assOssin had fully
and deliberately prepared and; arranged them'
for his diabolical purpose pri tious to-the as
sembling of the audience. A piece of board
one inch thick, six inches Wide, hnd abopt.
three feet in length served for bar, one end
being placed in tin indentation ...xeavated in the
Wall fof the purpose, about fot> feet from the
floor, and the other against the.nSolding of the
door panel, a few inches higherrtbA the end in
the wall, so that it would be impossible to jar
-It out of place by knocking qh the door on the
outside. The demon having thus guarded
against intrusion by any of the audience, next
proceeded to prepare a means'of observing the
position of the parties inside the box. With a
gimlet or small bit he bored h bole in the door
panel, which be .afterwards reamed out with
its knife, so ns to leave it little larger than a
buckshot on the inside, while it was sufficiently
large on the outside in the da gentry fur Slim
to place ills eye against with . bnveriisnce, and
see the position occupied by tl j President and
his friends. ’Both box doors w ire perforated in .
like manner. Butj there warn spring locks on
each of these doors, and it wa,l barely possible
that they might be fastened. To provide
against such an emergency’lhe screws which
fasten the bolt-hasps to tbj wood bad been
partially withdrawn, and left so .that while
they would bold the the wood they
would afford jittl.e or no resistance to a firm
pressure npoij tbe doorTrop. tbe.outeido,
Having thus provided fib a Sure and easy
entrance to the box, the next business was to
insure a clear and unobstructed-passage to the
locality of the victim by such an arrangement
.of the chairs and sofas as wauld place the
other occupenfs at considerable distance from
him. The rooking or easy obnir occupied by
Mr. Lincoln was found in th v e front corner of
the box farthest from the stagef Another, for
Mrs. Lincoln, a little, mere remote from the
front, while the other chairsf.nnd a sofa were
all placed on the side neure J; the stage, leav
ing the centre of the clear for the
bloody operations of the acton These prepara
tions were neither conceived-; by a maddened
brain, designed by a fool, n>r - eiecuted by a
drunkard. .They bear most;iiomistakable evi
dence of genius, industry, at-d perseverance in
tbe perfect accomplishment oi adeliberate mur
der. ■I- }
The deed was perpetrated dt ring the second
scene,-of the-third act of by some
man who must have approached stealthily and
unseen through the dark passage, tit the back
of tho b»r.'- Major Rathbun was-not aware of
his presence till hearing.the report of a pistol,
and. looking round, saw.-fhe flash, and dimly
through the smoke the [orttvof arnan in the box,
not more than sis feet from the President. As
• the Major sprang towards him he heard him
shriek some word like “ freediyn.” He then
seized him. The assassin shoo* loose from the
officer’s grasp, and at the eagle time made a
■yvinlent thrust st. hie left broa-f with the knife
which he held in bis band. Major Rathbun
caught the Wow on hit near the Shouf
d«r, and nt once sprang fit,hies again, but only
succeeded in grasping bis clothing, which he
partly tore from him as he leapsd from the bos
to the stage. The M'jor then cried out "Stop
that roan," and, supposing itS impossible for
him to escape through the crew'd below, rushed
back to the President and to,the aid of Mrs.
Lincoln, vtbo fur the first time realized what
had iiccuved, for help. The
President) had riot changed-hik position, except
that his eyes were closed and bis head slightly
bent forwuid. Major RathbUrasaw at a glance
Jhat he was mortally wounded. Htf went to
he door of the bux for the .purpose of procur
ing medical aid; and, to bis astonishment, found
the outer door at the ebd sf the dark ball frqm
which the boxes are ente-ec ■firmly barred on
the inside with a piece of wend wedged across
about four feet from the floor,-so'that those out
side who were knocking fur admission could
not get in. Tearing away the fastenings, and
passing in one or two who represented
themselves as surgeons, he. : requested Capt.
Crawford to prevent all ot}i r persons from en
tering the box, and begged one audience to dis
perse.
When the surgeons had Jnclqjied their ex
aminations, it was decided .remove the body
from the theatre, and accordingly the whole
party, including Major- B J itbbun, who had
charge of Mrs. Lincoln, preceded to a house
opposite. It was now fo,uhd that the Major
was seriously wounded, aid _ becoming cjuite
faint from loss of blood. iie'was sent home
by his surgeon.
The whole time occupied from the firing of
the pistol in the box to f thj leaping upon the.
stage was not over thirty seconds. The Presi
dent never spoke or unclosed his eyes from
this time until his deatfi,' ; The clothing of
M»jor'3Uthbunund[the oWs of Miss Harris
were bespattered with blot 3 from the wound/of
theMijor. The wound pi'the President laid
,not bleed at all. !£.' j
Miss Harris, who whs\ithg- bos with'the
President,makes tbe fdllo-fipg statement:
""Nearly an hour before, the commission i f the
deed the assassin came toi'he door of the box
and looked in to take a survey of the position of
its occupants. It was exposed.at the time
that it was either a mistaken? the exercise of
impertinent curiosity, circumstances at
tracted no particular attention-at tbe time—
On entering the-box ajiih M ijor Ruthbun
arose and asked the intruder “ -what was his
business?” He rushed pap; the Major without
making a reply, and placing the pistol close to
the buck-of the President’s head fired, and in
stantly sprang upon tbe cushion baluster of the;
bux, when- bp made' a backward plunge with bis
knife aimed at tbe face dr .breast of Mr. Lin
coln. Major Kithburn springing forward to
protect the President, received a stab in bis
arm.
The Borderer then jumped upon the stage
end effected his escape. The rapidity with
which the eot was committed upon the Presi
dent was astounding. Mrs, Linoolq saw the
form of the person go, down from the box nnd
thought, that Mr. Lincoln had fallen out, and
looked to see if she him on the floor,
end barely saw the oulpri jump to the stage.—
When all was over she turned her eyes to tub
box and saw that Mr. Lincoln’s head bad drop
ped upon his breast, and at once realized what
bad transpired.
The murder of tbe President wae an
nounced at Grover's Theater. Little Tbad.
Lincoln was in attendance there, and tbe mo
ment be beard tbe statement he seemed to go
almost crazy, and shrieked and sobbed in a
heart-rending manner; tbe poor boy was taken
to tbe White House, and was soon quieted when
it was ascertained that his father was still
alive.
From tbe moment tbs President wae shot up
to bis death, he was insensible and exhibited
no signs oFpainprecogniced no persons, and, ip
fact, I believe did not open, hie eyes. Blood
troubled his breathing, often making it very
difficult. He was watched-with tender care,
and all that could be was done for him. Vice
President Johnson visited tbe President during
the night, but remained only about an hour
Before he breathed his lost about five o’clock
this morning, I reached tbe house where tbe
President lay in bis dying agonies. He was '
lying upon his bed apparently breathing with
great difficulty, He was entirely unconscious,
as He bad been ever since bis assassination ;
his eyes wore protruding from their sockets
and suffused with blood. In other respects
bis countenance, was unchanged. - -
In an adjoining room were Mrs; Lincoln and
her son, Capt. Robert Lincoln, and Miss Harris.
Mrs. Lincoln was under great excitement and
agony, wringing her hands and exclaiming,
” Why did he not shoot me instead of my hus
band ? I have tried to be so careful of him fear
ing something would happen, and hie life see
med to be more prdcioue now than ever; I
must go with him," and other expressions of
like character. She was constantly going back
and forth to tbe bedside of the President, ex 1
claiming in great agony, “How can it be so?"
The scene was heartrending, and it is im
possible to portray it in living light.

-■ THE BOAS TO CHIME.
Now that the great sorrow of the nation is
frpsh .in the memory, and the hearts of the
people are tender under the painful discipline,
it is proper_to stand face to face with the crime,
and earnestly examine into ths conditions and
circumstances which made snob a tragedy pos
sible in a land of Christian enlightenment; for
never, sines the cowardly assassination of
Henrt IV.. has Christendom experienced such
a thrill of horror as that which followed the
unprovoked murder of Abbaeak Lincoln.
Undeniably this crime transcends the scope
of ordinary depravity; it is many degrees, in
the ascending.scale of crime, above the char
acter of common homicide. No ordinary mur
derer, moved by love of money or personal ha
tred, ever .vaulted from his level up to the
altitude of such a crime, by .the force <of his
unaided volition. It was not a blow aimed at
the KAN ; -it was a blow impelled by the con
centrated hatred of thousands who had long
plotted the destruction of the government, and
forged into the stupendous crime of Pa
tricide ! No wonder the nation reels under
the blow of the assassin, Booth ; for his band
aimed the bullet at its. heart And it sped
sure. x
We said the crime was tho ofikpHng of the
concentrated hate of thousands who sought the
overthrow qf tho government, not by open war
so much as by dastardly acts of sympathy with
those engaged in open war avowedly for its
overthrow. Such is the fact. The perpetra
tor of this crime was a man who had enjoyed
the protection of the government from his
birth. He had never renounced his allegiance
—at least in form. The same is true of hie
accomplices and backers so far as known. The
evidence goes to show that the plot was con
- ceived in the North, and was to have been car
ried out earlier; hut the uervee of some of the
conspirators failed.
.The files of the various Copperhead papers
—extending through the Presidential campaign
of 1804—inform us how this awful crime be
came possible. The incendiary harangues of
Copperhead leaders afford ample evidence to
tbe same; end. As a sample of the more atro
cious of these utterances, we give the follow
ing from the La Croat, (Wie.) Dmoerat of
August 29, 1864, which is now being repub
lished widely. Here is tbe extract:
“ The mah who votes for Lincoln now is a traitor.
Lincoln is a traitor and a murderer, fie who pre
tending to war for, wars against the Constitution of
our country, is a traitor, and Lincoln is one of these
men. He who calls and allures men to certain butch
ery is o murderer, and Lincoln has done all this.
Had any former Democratic President warred upon
the Constitution or trifled with the destinies of the
nation as Ljncoln has, he would have been hurled to
perdition long since. - And if be is elected tomisgov.
ern for another four years, we trust some bold hand
WILL PIERCE HIS HEART WITH DAGGER
POINT FDR THE PDBLIC GOOD."
This is but one sample of the atrocious ut
terances of Copperhead leaders during the last
campaign. It will serve to show the nature of
the training which propped the way for the
commission of the crime. Had the orime nev
er been committed, this utterance would have
been forgotten, or remembered: only as an out
burst of partisan heat. It now ranks as strong
presumptive evidence of murderous intent on
the part of the utterer. Threats of assassina
tion an only indulged in by cowards, as the
deed is done by cowards. It requires just such
attemp ts to inflame tbe passions of the bad to
-the pitch requisite to tbe commission of such a
crime.
And the violent doctrines promulgated by
whsl is designated as the opposition press of
the North, together with the obligations im
posed by the several secret societies which at
this time constitute that opposition, have bro 7 t
forth their legitimate fruit. - Somo of the lead
ing papers, like the World, and Newt, New
York papers, speak of the deed in terms of se
verest denunciation. We are glad to see this;
and cannot dohbt the genuineness of their her
THE TlO <3r A C O UNT Y AGI I TATO RT „
ror and detestation of the deed. None, other
than the shamelessly depraved, will regard the
crime in any other light. But we remember
that both journals habitually decried Lincoln,
living, os a tyrant, a. public enemy, and a usur
per. It is not the first time that bad cden have
shrunk book appalled at the violence induced
by their counsels. They now deplore him as
a man of most merciful heart and magnanim
ous soul. They only the verdict of
posterity, while they repeat the encomiums of
the civilized world..
The perpetrator of this dreadful deed is said
to be a member of the Order of American
Knights—a treasonable organization-—which,
under varioas names, exists everywhere in the
North. This Order.bas been In fall sympathy
with the rebels in arms from its birth. Its do
ings, the number of lodges, even the names of
its prominent members, are in possession of
the government; and it need not surprise any
loyal man, if, in a day not far beuoo, he awake
to the unpleasant fact that bis next-door neigh
bor baa been plotting- treason under his very
nose.
Let thoughtlessly vicious journalists take
warning of this tragic climax to tfisir violence
in the past. Their Journals do not all perish
on the day of issue; their utterances will ndt
be forgotten, but appear as' swift witnesses
against < them when they shall have deluded
themselves with the vain hope that their base
ness is forgotten. The American people have
long and strong memories; and a time is com
ing when men will as willingly give their right
arms to the fire as admit that they acted with
an Opposition whose partisan hate culminated
in the murder of Abraham Lincoln.
800. James Traoy Sale.
Tfae death of this gentleman, briefly notified
last week es having occurred on the 6th inat.,
is a public calamity. He had just retired from
public life, having served six years in Congress
with credit, and honor, and'usefulness. It was
our privilege to know him well. He was one
of those pure, bigbmlnded men, who live and
die strangers to that ambition which corrupts
the heart, debauches the mind, and ages men
before their time. A man of conscience, an
abhorrer of shams and hypocrites, always'true
to principle, perhaps, no man enjoyed a more
universal respect among his peers than he.
He was the ever-willing helper of the help
less, and the '* short and simple annals of the
pool” were never-by him forgotten soon es
beard. The gate to his heart was wide, and
without lock or bolt. His manners were plea
sing because be was by nature a gentleman.
Highly intellectual, scholarly, with attainments
which entitled him to a first place among men
of culture, be was one of the most modest and
least assuming of pnblio men. His pride was
noble. Wealth oama to him without bringing
ostentation; prosperity served aaa background
against which bis goodness shone with inorear
sing radiance.
If out* eulogy is-warm, it is beaus* i* flows
from a knowledge .of very many, aots of kind
ness tp hundreds who can never publicly thank
him. It was this which won for him what is
better than respeotr-affeotioo.
WAB NEWS.
The news from Gen. Sherman U not flatter*
ing to that noble old soldier as & diplomatist.
He entered into a sort of armistice with John
son, by which the practical recognition of the
'rebel machine ‘ woe as nearly conceded as one
without authority coaid' concede anything not
purely military. The basis, of the agreement
of surrender, was .briefly: A truce between
the contending armies; pending which the
rebel army was to. disband and deposit their
arms in their State arsenals ; the rebel State
Governments were to be recognised, and a
general amnesty to be proclaimed.
These absurd conditions were sent on to
'Washington, when President Johnson and the
Cabinet canceled them promptly, and ,as un
authorised and not to be entertained by the
, United States for a moment. On the con
trary, Joe Johnson and his army are to bo
brought to an unconditional surrender, and
such a capitulation as Lee made.
The people may rest assured that Andrew
Johnson will stand no nonsense in the winding
np of the affairs of the rebellion. No general
amnesty will be granted to traitors; no reoog
nition of a rebel government.
Niwbmh, Saturday, April 15—10 a. m.
The Superintendent of the railroad baa arrived
here from Goldsborougb, and states that Gov.
Vance was captured by our cavalry between
Hillsborough and" Raleigh on the 13th instant.
The report states that he (Vauoe) had been
sent to Sherman by Gen. Johnson, who was at
Hillsborough with instructions to Bartender
the State of North Carolina to Gen. Sherman,
but that these instructions were afterward
countermanded, and Vance was on his return
Johnson without having seen Sherman, when
be was captured. He is now a prisoner of war,
not having carried out his mission.
The report also states that Jeff Davis and
family bad joined Johnson at Hillsborough,
which is about thirty miles west of Raleigh.
Whether Davis arrived at Hillsborough after
Gov. Vance had been sent to Sberman, and
caused Johnston’s instructions to Vance to be
set aside, does not appear. j

time for investigation.

' Mb. President -. The representatives of
foreign nations have assembled here to express

ble events of which they have been witnesses,
to say how sincerely they share the national
mourningjfur the cruel fate of the late Presi

on this occasion, to our siucerest hopes for an
early re-establishment of peace iu this great
country, and, for the maintenance of the
friendly relations between the Government
of the United States and the Governments
which we represent.
To which the President replied -.
Gentlemen or tbs Diplomatic Boot ; 1
heartily thank you on behalf of the Govern
ment and people of the United States fur the
sympathy which you have so feelingly express
ed upon the mournful event to which yoii refer.
The good wishes also which yem kindly offer
for the welfare and and prosperity of the Unit

peness, are gratefully received. Your hopes
for the early restoration of peace in this coun
try are cordially reciprocated by me, and you

done toward preserving those relations of
friendship which now fortunately exist between
the United States and all foreign Powers.
