IS IT TKUE?
Immediately on the amrouncement of the
death of Abraham Lincoln, the "Copper
head" journ?ls and leaders were lavish in
singing praises to the martyr President.
He who was heretofore a usurper, a despot,
a tyrant, is now denominated the good, the
wise, the magnanimous. The question ari
ses, Why this sudden change of opinion? Is
it because Mr. Lincoln departed from the
policy he had steadily pursued in regard to
the rebellion from the beginning, or b it
for some other cause ? A change of policy
is alleged as the reason. But, is this true?
That the President was humane and mag
nanimous towards the enemies of the Union,
all will admit ; but that he retracted or mod
ified any of his official edicts, does not ac
cord with the truth.
During Mr. Lincoln's visit to Richmond,
a few days before his death, and just as he
was leaving the rebel capital, he gave an or
der to General Weitzell to permit the rebel
Virginia Legislature to meet in Richmond,
for the purpose of taking the necessary pre
liminary steps for the return of that State
into the Union. This order was penned in
consequence of representations by Judge
Campbell, who said that Davis, Benjamin,
Breckinridge, and others, when they were
caving Richmond, admitted that the Con
federacy wa3 'gone up and its cause hope-
ess, and "as Mr. Lincoln would not treat
with them, the States must do the best they
could." In this conversation with Judge
Campbell, says a correspondent of the New
York Tribune, Mr. Lincoln wrote down the
following conditions ou which he would
make peace :
"1st The territorial integritv of the Re
public. 2d No retraction of Executive or
Congressional action on the subject of slave
ry. 3d iNo armistice.
lo these he added a fourth condition.that,
"if leading Confederates still persisted in
the war, now it had become so utterly hope
less, their property should be relentlessly
confiscated."
Judge Campbell prayed for a modification
of the third article, but the President was
immovable. He said :
"We will not negotiate with men so long
as they are fisrhtinj; against us. The last
election established this as the deliberate
determination of the country."
Ihese were the Hampton Koads condi
tions; and on the very day of his death, Mr.
Lincoln received a letter rrom Judge Lamp
bell, tinged with the usual rebel insolence,
ignoring altogether the proposition which
the President had made to him in writing,
and urerinjrly wrote,
It is true that the military power oi the
Confederacy is destroyed, but th3 spirit Of
the Southern people still remains unbroken.
If you want to conciliate them, it will be
wise for you to grant an armistice, and ne
cessary tor you to treat leniently their lead
ins Dublic men and seek their assistance."
This was too much for Mr. Lincoln. He
characterized Campbell's course 'as ungrate
ful and outrageous.' Meanwhile the capit
ulation of Gen. Lee obviated the necessity
of convening the rebel Legislature, and he
sent an order countermanding the call.
In the above the President asks the ac
knowledgment of the territorial integrity of
the Union assent to the validity oi the E
mancipation proclamation and the laying
down of their arms, as the conditions upon
which he would receive the insurgents back
into the Union.
Submission, on the part of the rebels, to
the Constitution, the Laws, and the Govern
ment authorities, was Mr. Lincoln's ultima
tum to Judge Campbell, and submission was
the only terms ever offered to them since
the beginning of hostilities. Here certain
ly is no change of policy no deviation from
any of his former well established opinions,
or from any of his public acts. Then there
must be some other reason for this great
change of sentiment on the part of the 'Cop
perhead' papers and leaders. What can it
be ? Do they now condemn and acknowl
edge as false all that they have heretofore
said of Mr. Lincoln and his policy and acts,
or are they merely playing the hypocrite
from some sinister motive ? Do they feel a
responsibility resting upon them as having
to a certain degree been instrumental in in
stigating the death of Mr. Lincoln, and by
their fulsome praise hope to escape the in
dignation of a bereaved and injured nation ?
Whatever may be their motive, it is evident
that the plea they make is not the true one
that it i3 a mere pretext to deceive the un
wary but honest masses, with the expecta
tion of escaping any responsibility or odium
that may attach to them for the course they
have pursued towards our departed Chief
Magistrate, and the Union, evr since the
rebellion commenced.
The Last Ditch.
, We have heard and laughed a good deal
about the "last ditch" of the rebels, and
have often puzzled our brains to find out
where it was. The Pittsburgh Gazette has
at length made the grand discovery, and de
scribes it to . be their unfathomable impu
dence. Without an army, without a gov
ernment, without homes, almost without
food prowling about like fugitives and vag
abonds, they yet take it upon themselves to
dictate terms to their conquerors, and they
seem to get along better at that than they
did at fighting. The "most unkind cut of
all" upon us is, that Sherman, after making
the greatest march on record, blundered in
to their "last ditch" and kincked his back.
The number of Confederate soldiers at
Mobile have been greatly over-estimated,
there having been but between 6,000 and
7,000 defending that place. Of these about
5,000 have been captured, killed and wound
ed, and the few remaining ones ascended the
Alabama river on traneporte and gunboat.
The Governor of Pennsylvania and the Pres
ident of the United States.
A delegation of the citizens of Pennsyl
vania called on President J ohnson on Thurs
day afternoon for the purpose of presenting
to him a letter from the Governor of this
Commonwealth. Among those present were
Colonel F. Jordan, military agent of Penn
sylvania at Washington city, and his assist
ant, Colonel Gilliland.Samuel Wagner, Esq.,
of York county, and others. Col. J. W.
Forney read the letter of Governor Curtin
to the President :
Executive Chamber, 1
Harrisburg, Pa., April 25, 1865. j
Sir : I have just returned from rever
ently attending the remains of our martyred
Presideut on their passage through this
Commonwealth, and I avail myself of the
first moment to assure you that, as Pennsyl
vania has throughout steadily and effective
ly sustained the Government in its efforts to
crush the existing rebellion, so she and her
authorities may be relied on to stand heart
ily by your Administration, and that, with
an earnestness and vigor euchauced by the
just horror which all her people entertain of
the base and cowardly assassination to wnicn
your predecessor has fallen a victim.
I kuow that it is unnecessary to give you
this assurance ; but looking to the vast re
sponsibilities that have been suddenly cast
upou rou, it has seemed to me that an ex
press word of hearty eucourageuieut from
your friends cannot be otherwise than agree
able to you.- 1 should have visited Wash
ington to say this iimch to you in person,
but I am unwilling just at this moment to in
cur the danger of interfering with the just
discharge of your public duties by" occupy
ing your time.
1 am, sir, very respectfully, your obedi
ent servant, A. G. CURTIN.
To the President.
In reply, President Johnson expressed
his fervent thanks to Governor Curtin for
the hearty manner in which he had proffer
ed his valuable support of the General Ad
ministration. Some of his most interesting
recollections were of the old Keystone State.
In the war for the maintenance of the Gov
ernment she had surpassed herself in her
contributions to our armies and in the valor
and sacrifices of her sons, many of whom he
classed among his friends, having met them
in large numbers during his trials in Tennes
see. President Johnson trusted that his
administration of the Government would
not be unworthy of the confidence of the
loyal people of Pennsylvania.
The Assassination Conspiracy.
A Washington dispatch says : The search
after the assassin of President Lincoln, and
the would be murderer of Secretary Seward,
has developed a well and deliberately ma
tured plan of assassination, and infamous
rascality, murder and arson unparalleled in
the annals of crime. Their investigations
have not yet reached the point at which it
is proper to disclose the extent and various
ramifications of this murderous plot. Ma
ny unsuspected and unsuspecting parties are
involved, and the evidence is complete to
show that it was neither the freak of a mad
man, nor an act of individual hate, but a
scheme concocted by the leaders of the re
bellion, and relied upon by them in the
hour of most desperate need as one of the
iteans of success in their great treasonable
enterprise.
It is in evidence th.it President Lincoln,
Vice President Hamlin, the members of the
Cabinet, Gen. Grant. Chief Justice Chase,
and Speaker Colfax were marked as the
victims of certain rebel conspirators and as
sins. There is little doubt that the plot o-
riginated with the chief political rebels in
Richmond, planned in detail in Canada, and
was to be executed in Washington. There
is also no doubt that secret meetings were
held at. the residences of secessionists in the
city to the further execution of the fiendish
plot. The arrests already made of persons
known to be parties to the murder of Presi
dent Lincoln, and the facts thus far ascer
tained of the hellish purpose of the rebel
assassins to strike from existence all the
leading men of the national government,
thus leaving it without a legal head, and the
reins of government to be seized by any er
ratic, ambitious General who might at the
time be in the field at the head of an army,
will, when all is made known, startle our
people and astound the world.
Frightful Accident.
Cairo, April 28. The steamer Sultana,
from New Orleans on the 21st instant, ar
rived at Vicksburg with her boilers leaking
badly. She remained there thirty hours re
pairing, and had took on 1,996 Federal sol
diers and thirty-five officers, lately released
from Catawba and Andersonville prisons.
She arrived at Memphis last evening, and,
after coaling, proceeded. About two o'clock
A. M., when seven miles above Memphis,
she blew up, and immediately took fire,
burning to the water's edge. Of 2, 106 souls
aboard not more than 700 have been res
cued. Five hunlred were rescued, and are
now in the hospital. Two or three hundred
uninjured are at the Soldier's Home. Cap
tain Mason of the Sultana, is supposed to be
lost. At 4 A. m. to-day the river in front
of Memphis was covered with soldiers strug
gling for life, many of them badly scalded.
Boats immediately went to their rescue, and
are sti I engaged in picking them up. Gen.
Washburne immediately organized a board
of officers, and they are now at work inves
tigating the affair.
A prominent copperhead of St. Cloud,
Minnesota, told a man in presence of witnes
ses, Friday night, three hours before the as
sassination occurred, that Lincoln ond Sew
ard were murdered.
Bebel Impudence in "Washington.
We thought we had attained to a measur
ably correct estimate of the impudence of
. 1 II? 1 1 ?A
rebels ana traitors. e nave maae it a
study. We have had it before us ever since
this war began. We have pondered it in
the abstract, and witnessed it in the concrete,
but we confess that our asbmgton corres
pondent's statements of the return of rabid,
uusubdued rebels to the capital, and of their
conduct there, presents a ptrase of rebel et-
frontary which passes oar former concep
tions ot the thing.
The breaking up of the rebellion has sent
these unclean birds back r ome to roost.
Men who went away from Washington and
have been for four years in array against the
Government, are returning there, and swel
ling and strutting about those streets, appa
rently glorying in their crimes, and without
a particle of shame or remorse for the inno
ceut blood they have shed in their parrici
dal warfare. They are actually claiming the
property they forsook to become foes to
their country. If such persons go un whip
ped of justice, we do not understand the
laws nor the times. The contempt which
they show to the Government and the loyal
reoile. is an intolerable insult to both. We
cannot think that the authorities at Wash
ington will tamely pubmit to the disgrace ol
their impudent behavior and presence.
The times are changed since they ran away
from their ho.ues. The assumptions or
slave holding pride and insolence have gone
out of fashion while they were absent io the
ranks. They should be taught their man
ners anew, according to the code that has
been inaugurated under the auspices of loy
alty and freedom. Commercial.
Wilson's Campaign.
At any other period of the war, the terri
ble blows dealt the enemy by our Western
cavalry in this adventurous campaign would
have thrilled the country with a Bense of
triumph. This expedition by Wilson is the
great "raid" of the war. An examination
of a map is necessary to understanding ful
ly the daring and destructive sweep made
through the very heart of the Gulf States.
In the first place the famous rebel cavalry,
under Forrest, was defeated and almost an
nihilated at Selma, Alabama, and the rebel
arsenals and manufactories at that place de
stroyed. The main body of our forces mov
ed eastward, capturing Montgomery, West
Point, Columbus and Maccn, making appa
rently for Savannah, scattering the mili
tia on all sides, running the on'y remaining
strand of railroad that might be of use to the
rebels, breaking up their machine shops, and
annihilating not only their military stores
but rendering the manufacture of material
for future campaigns impossible. We do
not wonder that Joe Johston said to Gener
al Sherman, of Wilson, "Stop him, for
God's sake, for be is raiding through the
coumry and tearing everything to pieces."
Booth's Body Denied to his Brother.
April 29. The Tribune's Washington
special says : Edwin Booth is here for the
purpose, it is stated for procuring the body
of his brother. II is desire cannot be
granted, as the grave of the assassin will nev
er be known. The surgeons who held the
autopsy upon Booth, assert that he must
have endured untold anguish of body as well
as of mind, from the nature of the fracture
of his leg, the small bone having cut its way
through the flesh and protruded. Mortifi
cation of the leg had also commenced, and it
was the opinion of the Surgeon General that
he could not have lived many days more in
any event.
From Selma, Alabama.
Among prisoners captured al Selma, are
150 officers. Lieut. General Dick Taylor
made his escape on a steamer. N. B. For
rest, Dan. Adams, Roddy Armstrong and
McCausland, escaped also. Forrest's ord
nance officer, Capt. Bond, is reported woun
ded. Croxhan and McCook attacked Jack
son's front and rear, at Tryon, and having
travelled by different roads, their attacks were
simultaneous. He must have been destroyed.
The destruction of the Centrevillc bridge
and Croxhan's movements toward Tuscaloo
sa, rendered it imposssble for Forrest to
carry out his plans.
Removal of Gold from Richmond.
It is stated that Jeff Davis & Co., carried
off from Richmond between six and thirteen
million dollars of specie. In removing it
from the Treasury to the Danville depot,
one keg at a time was carried in a wagon,
which was doubly guarded against the pop
ulace. It is said there were thirty fourkegs
in all. They were loaded into two cars, and
four of the principal officers of the depart
ment were detailed to ride with the treasure.
No care wss taken of Confederate bonds,
and they were scattered profusely through
the streets.
A Memorable Spot.
The swamp in St. Mary's county, Mary
land, where Booth and Harold found a tem
porary refuge, is situated four or five miles
from the Potomac river. It is about twenty
miles long and in some places almost impen
etrable. The assassins lurked in its reces
ses until they found means to cross the riv
er. The place where they were finally
caught, known as Garrett's farm, is situa
ted near Port Royal, a post village of Caro
lina county, Va., on the right bank of
the Rappahannock river, twenty-two miles
below Fredricksburg.
The secessionists at Windsor, C. W., on
Saturday hoisted flags, and prepared for re
joicing over the murder of President Lin
coln, when the Mayor arrested the whole of
them.
Three of the four candidates for the Pres
idency in 1 860 are now dead Douglas, Bell,
and Lincoln.
CAPTURE OF BOOTH.
Washington, April 26. The fourth edi
tion of the Star has the following addition
al details of the capture oi Harold aud the
killing of Booth : A detachment of the 16th
New York Cavalry, under Lieutenant
Dougherty, numbering twenty-eight men,
and accompanied by two of Colonel Baker's
detective force, who went dowu the river on
Monday, obtained the first news of Booth
at Port Royal on Tuesday eveniug, from an
old man, who stated that four men, in com
pany with a rebel Captain, had crossed the
Rappahannock,' a shoit time previous going
in the direction of Bowling Green. He ad
ded that the Captain would probably be
found in that place, as he was courting a la
dy there. On proceeding on to Bowling
Green, the Captain was found at the hotel
and taken into custody. From him it was
ascertained that Booth and Harold were at
the house of John and William Garrett,
three miles back, towards Port Royal, and
about a quarter of a mile from the road pas
sed over by the cavalry.
In the mean time, it appears, Booth and
Harold applied to Garrett for horses to ride
to Louisa Court Uou.e. The latter, fearing
the horses would not be returned, refused to
hear them, notwithstanding the large sums
offered. These circumstances, together
with the recrimination of Booth and Har
old, each charging the other with the re
sponsibility of their difficulties, had aioused
the suspicion ot the Garrett brothers, who
urged Booth and Harold to leave lest they
(Garrett's) should get ioto trouble with our
cavalry. This Booth refused to do without
horses, and the two men retired to the bain,
the door of which, after they had entered,
Garrett locked, and remained himself on
guard in a neighboring corn crib, as he al
leged, to prevent their horses from being
taken and ridden off in the night by Booth
and Harold.
Upon the approach of our cavalry from
Bowling Green, about three o'clock on
Wednesday morning, Garrett's came out of
the corn crib to meet the m, and m answer
to their inquiries directed them to the barn.
Booth was at orrce summoned to surrender
but refu&ed. Harold expressed his willing
ness to give himself up, but was overruled
by Booth for some time, but finally surren
dered, leaving Booth in the barn, which had
been set on tire. The latter then, assuming
a defiant air, called out to know the com
manding officer.aud proposed to him that his
men should be drawn up fifty yards distance,
when he would come out and fight them.
After the barn had been burning three-quarters
of an hour and the roof wasjabout to fall
iu Booth, who had been standing with a re
volver in one hand and a carbine resting on
the floor, made a demonstration as though
to break through the guard. To prevent
this Sergeant Corbett fired:iutendin g to hit
Booth so a to cripple him. The ball, how
ever, struck a little too hi eh and entered
his neck, resulting fatally. Booth had in bi.i
possession a short, heavy bowie knife with
which he struck Major Rathburne, a Spen
cer Carbine, seven shooter, of Massachusetts
manufacture, three revolvers and a pocket
pistol. I le wore, besides his suit of gray, an
ordinary cloth cap, a heavy, high topped cav
alry boot on his right foot, with the top turn
ed down, and a governmeut shoe on his left
foot. No clue could be obtained of the
other two men, and taking the two Garrett's
into custody the command immediately set
out for Washington, after releasing the Cap
tain.
Lieutenant Dougherty, who commanded
the squadron, entered the service with the
71st .New York Militia, Sergeant Corbett,
who shot Booth, was baptized in Boston a
bout seven years ago, at which time he as
sumed the name of Boston Corbett. To
day he has been greatly lionized, and on the
street, was repeatedly surrounded by citizens,
who occasionally manifested their apprecia
tion by loud cheers. The two privates are
dressed in rebel gray, having belonged to
Lee's army, and just returned home on pa
role. They profess to have leen entirely ig
norant of the character of Booth aud Har
old, and manifest great uneasiness coucern
ingtheir connection with the affair.
Booth and Harold narrowly escaped on
this side of the Potomac, Marshal Murray
and a posse of New York detectives traced
them within a shortdistance of Swans Point,
butjthe Marshal being unacquainted with the
country, and without a guide during the
darkness of the night, took the wrong road,
and before he regained the trail, Booth and
Harold succeeded in crossing the river to
Virgiuia.
The report that Booth attempted to shoot
himseli while in the barn is incorrect, lie
however, in his parley with his beseigcrs,
indicated that he would not be taken alive.
His manner throughout was that of harden
ed desperation, knowing that his doom was
sealed, and preferring to meet it there in
that shane. to a more iproiniiious rlrnth a-
waiting him if captured. He appeared to
Eay little attention to the fire raging about
im, until the roof began to fall, when he
made a movement indicating a purpose to
make the desperate attempt to cut his way
out. and perhaps really hoped to succeed, a
niid the smoke and confusion. It was this
movement on his part that seems to have
caused Corbett to tire the fatal shot. Har
old before leaving the barn laid down his
Eistol, which was immediately picked up by
ooth, who had it in his hands at the time
he was shot.
Boston Corbett who killed Booth is said
to be a man of deep religious feeling, who
has at prayer meetings lately, prayed fer
vently thatthe assassin of the late President
might be brought to justice. It is said al
so that in pulling the trigger on Booth he
sent up an audibh petition for the soul of
the criminal The pi-tol used by Corbett
was a regular large sized cavalry pistol. He
was offered $1,000 this morning for the pis
tol, with its five undischarged loads.
This afternoon Surgeon General Barnes,
with an assistant, held an autopsy on the
body of Booth. It now appears that Booth
and Harold had on clothes which were orig
inally some other color than Confederate
gray, but being faded and dusty presented
that appearance.
A collision occurred on the Potomac riv
er, one mile from Blackstone Island, Tues
day morning, by which the steamer Black
Diamond was sunk in three minutes. The
Diamond was acting as picket boat, and in
the confusion occasioned by the collision
many soldiers became panic-stricken and
were drowned. The loss, of life will p roba
bly exceed fifty.
The Mormons are nutting up a private
line of telegraph ro Utah, at oost of $200

THE INGERSOLL DIFFICULTY
The Bulletin furnishes the following Ur
ticulars ot the Ingersoll difficulty, WQ"
I'.f-.Pr,1 ??nsiderable sensation
Ihiladelphia. When the train rwcLj
.Ninth and Green street a partv of uZt
got around the front door of the car for th.
purpose of giving Mr. Ingersoll a partin,
salute ot groan?. The obnoxious individual
passed out of the back door and got noon
Wallace street. The crowd followed him
At Eighth street, Mr. Ingersoll turned iW
and faced the party. Capt. J. H. Wtih
ington, Jr., of the 19th Regiment Penn.yl
vania Volunteers, then stepped forward and
said: "Ingersoll, 1'ma soldier. I fc&v,
risked my life for my country. I think r0n
owe an apology to the country for vour
speech, and particularly to the soldiers."
Ingersoll merely replied, "Go to he!L"
The Captain raised his cane to htrike him
but the blow was warded off by Itigersou
with his can.. The two men crossed cant
for a few sesonds. Ingersoll received a cut
on the left side of his face, and broke his
cane upon the arm of Capt. Withington.
Mr. Ingersoil then drew back about ten pa
ces, took from his pocket a revolver, and
cocked it. Some of the crowd scattered at
this warlike movement of Ingersoll. when
he was seized by a police officer. It wus is
much as the officer could do to keep the peo
ple from laying violent hands upon hi Mr
son. The prisoner was finally landed at the
police station, followed by au excited crod
which augmented at every step. Alderuian
Massey was sent for, and Mr. Ingersoll giv
en a hearing. At the station-hcuse Capt
Withington gave his testimony, which
to the same effect as given above. Officer
Jones testified that he arrested the maa witt
a revolver in his hand, and that it was cock
ed. Here Ingersoll remarked defiantly tnj
offensively: 4 "Ye", you all ran like s";acV
of sheep when I did not."' "You are a li
ar," shouted one, and the crowd made tv
other rush for Ingersoll. and the police with
great difficulty succeeded in keeping them
back. Capt. Withington remarked: 4Tva
been in the battle field where the l ulkti 2ev
thick and fast, and I've seen too many of
thorn to be seared by a revolver" AliWoiao.
Massey held Mr. Ingersoll in $20,000 bowl.
Tngersoll applied to several persons to
bail for him, but fill refused.
A Jew paying r artieu'ar artentiun to t
