JOHNSTON, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, London. graduate from one of the most eminent Colleges of the Untied States, and the greater part of whose life has been spent in the hospitals of London, Paris, Philadelphia andel - sem - here, has effected some of the most astonishing cures that were ever known. Many troabliwith ringing in the head and ears when asleep, great nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds, and bashfulness, with frequent blushing, attended sometimes with derangement of mind, were cured immediately. A CERTAIN DISEASE!. - - - - - - - - When the misguided and imprudent votary of pleasure find he has imbibed the seed of this painful disease, it too of ten happensthat an ill-timed sense of shame, or dread df dis covery, deters him from applying to`shose who from edutu. tion and respectabilitycart alone befriend him, delayingtill the constitutional symptom's of this horrid disease make their appearance, such as ulcerated core throat, diseased nose, nocturnal pains in the head and limbs. dimness of eight, deafness, nobs on the chin, bones and arms, blotches on the head, face rind extremities, progressing with frightful m pidity: till at last the palate of themouth or the bones of the' nose fall in and the victim of this awful disease be comes a horrid object of cummissemtion, till death puts a period to his dreadful sufferings, by sending him to that bourne from whence no traveller returns." To such. there fore, Dr. Johnston pledges hfinselfro preserve the most Inviolable secrecy; and from his extensive practice in the first Hospitals of Europe and •America he can confidently recommend a safe, and speedy cure to the - unfortunate vic tim of this horrid di.ease. It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease owing to the unskillfulness of ignorant pretenders nho by use of that dreadful poison, .Nlercury, ruin the, constitution, and either send the unfortunate to an untimely grave. or make the rysidue of lite miserable.

' ELMEND C. STEDNISN. A COMPLETE AND MOST GRAPHIC ACCOUNT • - OF THE Movements 'of J. Wilkes Booth, • IN THE - ASSASSINATION - OF ABRAHAM lAMB. We extract the whole of the following'account of the conduct of the assassin on the du.‘„preced- Mg the night of the tragedy from the correspon dence of•tlie-New York World, by Jerome B. Stin son. Without any exception, it is the best and most circumstantial account, if the -whole of it be based upon fact, of any we have hitherto seen, and, if we dare say so, is one of the most drama tically detailed occounts of an appalling incident in.national history which has ever been offered to any nation. Seine very deliberate, but not at all extraordi nary movements were made by a handsome and extremely-well dressed young man in the city of Washington last Friday. At about o'clock, A. M. this person, whose name is J. Wilkes Booth, by profession an actor, and recently en gaged in oil -speculations, sauntered into Ford's Theatre, on Tenth, between E apd F streets, and exchanged greetings with the man at the box of fice. In the conversation which ensued the ticket agent informed Booth that a box was taken for Mr. Lincoln and Gen. Grant, who were expected to visit the theatre, and contribute to the benefit of Miss Laura Keene and satisfy the curiosity of a•large audience. Mr. Booth went away with a jest, and a lightly spoken " Good afternoon." Strolling down to Pumphrey's stable, on C street, in the rear of the National Hotel, he engaged a saddle horse, a high string, fast, beautiful bay mare, telling Mr._ Ptimphrey that he should call for her iu the middle of the afternoon. • From here he went to the Kirkwood Hotel, on the covaer of Pennsylvania avenue• and Twelfth street. e here, calling fine a card and sheet of note , paper, he sat down and wrote upon the first as' tollowg: For Mr. .4ndrczr Johnson.: r don't wish to disturb you; are you at home? J. W. BOTH. To this message, wide!): was sent' tiP by the obliging clerk, Mr. Johnson responded that be as very busily engaged. Mr. Booth'siniled, and, turning to his sheet of note-paper, write on it. The fact, if fact it is, that he hadheen disappoint ed in not obtaining an examination of ;the Vice President's apartment and winowleilge of !the Vice President's probable whereabouts the ensu ing evening_in no way affected leis composure. The note, th'e contents (if which are unknown, was signed and seale,d within a feW minutes., liouth arose, bowed Wan aequaintalice, and pass ed into the street. His elegant person was seen on the avenue a fe / i'v minutes, and was withdrawn into -The 3 . lkrofinlitan Hotel. }Wu:4ll's tits STABLE. At 4 P. 11. / fie again appeared at Pumphrey's livery stablo; mounted the mare he had engaged, role leisurely up F street, ttir6Lsl into- an alley between/ Ninth and Tenth streets, and thence into an alley re-leading to the rear of Ford's Theatre, which/fronts on Tenth street between E and F streffis. Here he alighted and deposited the mare in,a small stable off the alley, which he had hired .6me . before for the accommodation of a . saddle-horse which he had. recently sold. Mr. Booth soon afterward retired from the stable, and is supposed to have refreshed himself at a neigh boring bar-room. THE SCENE AT THE 'THEATRE At d o'clock the same evening, - President LM coin and Speaker Colfax sat together in a private room at the White House, pleasantly conversing. Gee. Grant, with vvitora the President had en gaged.to attend Ford's Theatre that evening, had left with his wife for Burlington, New , Jersey,in the six o'clock train. After this departure Mr. Lincoln rather reluctantly determined to keep 1 ,: his part of the en agement, rather than to disap point his friends a the audience. Mrs. Lincoln. entering the roo and turning tO Mr. Colfax, said, in a half laug u 'rig, half serious way,.! , Well, Mr. Lincoln, are you going to the theatre, with me or not ?" " I suppose I shall have to go. Got ha," said the President, and the Speaker took his leave, in company with Maj. Rathbone, of the Provost Marshal General's office, who escorted Miss Harris, daughter of Senator Harris, of New York. Mr. and. Mrs. Lincoln reached Ford's Theatre at twenty minutes before 9 o'clock. The house was filled in every part with a large and brilliantly attired audience. As the Presi dential party ascended the stairs, and passed be hind the dress circle to the entrance of the pri vate box reserved for them, the whole assemblage, having in mind the recent Union victories, arose, cheered, waving hats and handkerchiefs, and mani festing every other accustomed sign of enthusi asm: The President,, last to enter the box, turn ed before doing so, and bowed a courteous ad knowledgineut of his reception. At the moment of the President's arrival, Mr. Hawks, one of the actors, performing the well-knoWn part of Dun dreary, had exclaimed: "This reminds me of a story, as Mr. Lincoln says." The audience forc ed him, after the interruption, to tell the story over again. It evidently pleased Mr. Lincoln, who turned laughingly to.his wife and made a re mark which was not overheard. RATE The box in which the President sat consisted of two boxes turned into one, the middle partition firing removed, as on all occasions when it stain party visited the theatre. The box was on a levy el with the dress circle, about twelve feet above the stage There were two entrances—the door nearest to thew all having been elosed 7 and locked; the door near4l 7 t4 the balustrades of the dress cir, viand at tingles with it, being open - and left open after the visitors had entered. The, in was carpeted, lined with crimson papei, and furnished with a soils covered with crimson velvet, three-arm chairs similarly covered, - and six canehottemed chairs. Festoons of flags hung before the front of the box atainst a background of lace. ' THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE PARTY. President Lincoln took one of the armehaire and seated himself in the front of the box, in the. angle nearest theaudience,n. here, partially screen ed from observation, he had the best view of what was transpiring on the stage. Maj. Rathbone sat just behind Mrs. Lincoln and Miss Harris.— These four were the only persons n the box. • The play proceeded. The audience at Ford's, including Mrs. Lincoln, seemed to, enjoy it very much. The worthy wife of the President leaned for Ward, her hand upon her husband's knee, watching every scene in'the drama with amused attention. Even acrois the PreElident's face at intervals swept a smile; ; robbing it of its habitual sadness. THE AssAssites PRELOINARIES TO FLIGHT. About the beginning of the second act, the mare. standing in the stable in the rear of the theatre, was disturbed in the midst of her meal by the en trance of the young man who had quitted her in' the afternoon: It is presumed that she was sad-' died and bridled with exquisite care. BOOTH ENTERS THE THEATRE Having completed these preparations, Mr Booth entered the theatre by the stage-door; summoned one of the scent shifters, Mr. John Spangler. emerged through the saele dbor with that indi vidual leaving the door open, and left the mare in his hands to be held until he (Booth) should return. Booth, who was even more fashionably and richly dressed than- usual, Walked thence around to the front of the theatre and went in. Amending to the dress circle, he stood fora little time gazing around upon the audience, and occa sionally upon the stage, in his usual graceful man ner. He was subsequently observed by Mr Ford, the proprietor of the theatre, to be slowly elbow- VISITS SIR. JOHNSON THE BOX TIIE PLAY' VOL, ILE NO. 3,703. ing his way through I the c .wd that puked the rear of the dress-circle, to rd the right side, at the extremity of which s the box where Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln an tl their =pardons were sea ted. Mr. Ford cashally no iced this as a slightly extraordinary sympton of i terest on the part of an actor so familiar with routine of the thea- , tre and the play: I _ % - . The curtin had arisen on the third act, and Mrs. Mountdic.F.sington and Asa Trenchard were exchanging vivacious stupidities, . when a young: man, precisely resembling the one described as.): Wilkes Booth, appeared before the open door of the President's box, and prepared to enter. THE ASSASSIN AT THE BOX DOOR The servant who attended Mr. Lincoln said po litely: - "This is the President's box, sir; no one is permitted to enter." "I am a Senator," res ponded the person, "Mr. Lincoln has sent for me." The attendant gave way, and the young man pas sed into the box. IN TILE BOX. As be appeared at' the door, taking a quick, comprehensive glance at the interior, M. Rath hone arose. "Are you aware, sir," he said, cour teously, "upon whom you are intruding? This is the President's box, and no one is admitted." The intruder answered not a word. Fastening his eyes upon Mr. Lincoln, who had half turned his head to ascertain what caused the disturbance, he stepped quickly-back without the door. THE SHOT Drawing a - Derringer pistol, and taking, by means of some almost miraculous calculation, a deadly aim, he fired through the closed door, on his right, the ball !passing through the door, and entering the brain of the President. TILE ASSASSCeS FLIGHT The movements' of the assassin were from hence forth quick as the lightning. Springing into the box through the door of which he had just retreat ed, he dropped his pistol, on the - floor, and draw ing a bowie-knife, struck Major Rathbone, who opposed him, ripping through his coat from the shoulder down, and afflicting a severe flesh wound in his arm. He leaped then upon the velvet-cov ered balustrade at the front of the box, between -Mrs. Lincoln and Miss Harris, and, parting with both hands the flags that drooped on either side, dropped_ to the stage beneath. Arising, and turn ing full Upon-the audience, with the knife lifted in his right hand above his bead, he shouted: "Sic semper tyra avenged !" Another instant and he had fled across the stage and be hind the scenes. Colonel J. B. Steivart, the only person in the audience who seemed to comprehend the deed be had coniunitted, climbed from his seat near the orchestra to the stage, and followed close behind.' The assassin was too fleet and too des perate. Meeting 151 r. Withers, the leader of the orchestra, just,behind the scenes, he struck him aside with a blow that fortunately was not a wound ; overturning Miss Jenny Gonrlay, an ac tress, who' came next in his he gained, with out further hindrance, the . back door prevukaly left open at the rear of the theatre ; rushed through it; leaped upon'the horse held by Mr. Spangler. and without vouchsafing that person a word of information, rode out through the alley leading, into I,' street; and thence rapidly away. His horse's hoofs might almost have been heard amid the silence that for a.few seconds dwelt in -the interior of the theatre. THE SCENE IN THE THEATRE Then Mrs. Lincoln Screamed, Miss Harris cried for water, and the • full ghastly truth broke upon all—" The President is murdered I" The scene that ensued was as tumultuouS and terrible as one of Dante's pictures of hell. Some women tainted others uttered piercing shrieks, and cries for ven geanee and unmeaning shouts for help burst from the mouths of men. Miss Laura Keene, the ac tree, proved herself in this awful time as equal to" sustain a part in real tragedy asp interpret that of the stage. Pausing one moment before the footlights to entreat the audience to be calm, she ascended the stairs in the rear of Mr. Lincoln's box, entered it, took the dying President's head in her lap, bathed ikwith the water she had brought, and endeavered to force some of the liquid through the insensible lips. The locality of the wound was at first supposed to be in the breast: It was not until after the nhck and shoulders had been bared arid no mark discovered, that• the dress of Miss Keene, stained with blood, revealed where the ball•had penetrated. THE INSENSIBLE PRESIDENT CARRIED OUT. As soon as the confusion and crowd were par tially overcome. the form of the President was conveyed from the theater to the residence of Mr. Peterson, on the opposit' side of Tenth street. Hefe upon a bed,' in a little hastily prepared cham ber, it was laid and attended by Surgeon Barnes anti other physicians, speedily summoned. - THE EXCITE3IPST IN THE CAPITAL. • In the meanwhile the news spread through the capital as if borne on tongues of flame. Senator Sumner, hearing of the affair at his residence. took a carriage and drove at a gallop to the White House, where , he beard where it bad taken place, to find Robert Lincoln and other members of the household still unaware of it. Both drove to Ford's Theater, and were soon at the President's bedside. Secretary Stanton and the other rtke,to• hers of the Cabinet were at hand almost as sObn, A vast crowd, surging up Pennsylvania avenue to- ward Willard'a Hotel, cried, " The President is shot "President Lincoln is murdered." An other crowd sweeping down the avenue met the first with the tidings, " Secretary Seward has been assassinated in bed." - Instantly a wild op ! prehension of an organized conspiracy and of oth er murders took possession of the people. The shoat " To arms !" was mingled with the expres sions of sorrow and rage that everywhere filled the air. " Where General Grant I" or " Where is Secretary Stanton t" " Where are the rest of the Cabinet 7" broke from thousands of lips. A. conflagration of fire is`not half so ter rible as was the conflagration of passion that roll ed through the streets and houses of Washington on that awful night. THE ATTEMPT ON SECRETARY SEWARD'S LIFE. The attempt on the life of Secretary Seward, 'vas, perhaps, as daring, if not so dramatic, as the assassination of the President. At 9:20 o'clock a men, tall, athletic, and dressed in light colored clothes, alighted from a horse in front of Mr. Se.• ward's residence, in Madison place,. where the 'Secretary was lying very feeble from his recent injuries. The house, a solid three-story brick building, was formerly the old Washington Club - .House. Leaving his horse standing, the stranger rang at the door, and informed the servant who admitted him that he desired to see Mr. Seward. The servant responded that Mr. Seward was very ill, and that uo visitors were admitted. "But I am a messenger from Dr. Verdi, Mr. Seward's physician; I have a prescription that I must de liver to hini myself. - The servant still demurring, the stranger, without further parley, pushed him aside and. ascended the stairs. Moving to the right, he Proceeded towards Mr. Seward's room, and was about to cuter it, when Mr. Frederick Seward appeared from an opposite doorway and demanded his business. He responded in the same manner as to the servant below, but being met Aiith a refusal, suddenly closed the contro versy by striking Mr. Seward a severe and per ' imps mortal blow across the forehead with the butt of &pistol. As the first victim tell, Major Sewar4, another and younger spa of the Secre tary, emerged from his father's room. Without a word the man drew a knife and struck the Ma jor several blows with it, rushing into the cham ber as he did so; then, after dealing Mr. Hansell, the nurse, a horrible wound across the bowels, he sprung to the bed upon which the Secretary lay, stabbing him two or three times in the face and neck. Mr Seward arose convulsively and fell from the bed to.the door. Turning and brandish ing hi s s Lab ll,ne,w, the assassin fled from the room, cleared the prostrate form of Frederick Seward in the hail, descended the stairs in three leaps, and wnout qf the door and upon his horse in an instant. 'lt is stated by a person who saw him mount, that althdUgh he leaped upon his horse with most unseemly haste, he trotted away around the corner of the block with circumspect debbc intion. THE GATHERING OF THE PEOPLE, Around both the house on Tenth street and the re,idence of Secretary Seward, as the fact of-both tragedies beeame generally known, crowds soon gathered so vast and, tumultuous that military guards scarcely sufficed to keep them, from the doors. THE DEATH-CHAMBER OP THE YRE4DEST. The room to which the President had been conveyed is on the first flour, .at the end of the hall. It is only-fifteen feet sore, with a Brus sels carpet, papered with brown, and hung with a lithograph of Rosa Bouheur's " Horse Fair," an engraved copy of Herring's" Village Blacksmith,"„ and two smaller ones of " The Stablentud " The Barn Yard," from the samir-artist. A table and toucan, spread with cro¢her work eight choirs and the bed, were 1111 the furniture. Upon this bed, a low walnut four-poster, lay the dying Pres ident, the blood oozing ti-em the frighttul wound in its head and staining the pillow. All that the AT . THE BEDSIDE. ' Secretary - Stanton, just arrived from the bed sitte.of Mr. Seward, atked Surgeon 'Oen. flames what WairMr.- Lincoln's condition. " I fear, Mr Stanton that there's no hope." "Oh, no, General; no, n 0.," and the man, of all others, apparently strange to tears, sank down beside the bed, the hot, ,bitter evidence of an awful sorrow trickling through his fingers tit the floor. Senator Sumner sat on the opposite sideof the bed holding one of the President's bands in, his own, and sobbing with kindred grief. Secretary Welles stood-at the foot of the bed, his face hidden, his franle shaken with emotion: _Gen. Hailed:, Attorney General Speed, Postmaster Gen. Dennison. M. B -.Meld, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, Judge Otto, Gen. Meigs, andothers, visited the chamber at times, and then retired. Mrs. Lincoln—but there is no deed to speak of her. Mrs. Senator Dixon soon arrived, and remained with, her ihro' the night. All through the night, while the hor ror-stricken crowds outside swept and gathered along the streets, while the military and police were patrolling and weaving a cordon around the city, while men Were arming and asking each other, " What victim next 1" while the telegraph was sending the news from city to city over the continent, and While the two assassins were speed ing unharmed upon fleet horses: far away, his chosen friends watched about the death-bed of the highest of the nation. Occasionally Dr. Gur ley, pastor of the church where Mr. Lincoln ha bitually attended, knelt down in prayer. Occa sionally Mrs. Lincoln" and her sons entered, to find no hope and togo back to ceaseless weeping. Members of. the 4kibinet, Senators, Representa tives, Generals, and others, took turns at the bedside. Chief Justice Chase remained until a late hour, and returned in the morning. Secre tary M'Culloh remained a constant watcher until SA. M, Not a gleam of consciousness shone across the visage of the President up to his death ,—a quiet, peaceful death at last—which came at twenty-two minutes past seven A. M. Around the bedside at this tithe were Secretaries Stan. ton;Welles, Usher, Attorney Gen. Speed, Post master General Dennison, 11l B. Meld, Aesistam Secretary of the Treasury, Judge Otto, Assistant Secretary of the Interior, Gen. Halleck, Gen. 'Meigs, Senator Sumner, F. B. Andrews, of New York, Gen. Todd, of Dacotah, John Hay, private secretary, Gov: Oglesby, of Illinois, Gen. -Farns worth, Mrs. and Miss Kenny, Miss Harris, Capt. Robert Lincoln, son of the President, and Drs. E. ly Abbott, R. K. Stone,C. D. Gatch, Neal Hal and Leiberman. Re'v. Dr. Gurley, after the even; knelt with all around in prayer, and then enterim.. an adjoining room where were gathered Mrs Lincoln, Capt. Robert Lincoln, Mr: - John Hay, and others, prayed again. Soon after nine o'cloct the remains were placed in a temporary cofi and conveyed to the White House under a mail escort. SECRETARY SEWARD'S CHAMBER. In Secretary Seward's chamber, a similar al though not so solemn a seene prevailed ; betweeb that chamber and the one occupied by Presider Lincoln; visitors alternated to and fro through the night. It bad been early ascertained that tie wounds of the Secretary were hot likely to?prov, mortal. A wire instrument drawn across tb, sides of his head , and under his shoulders, to re lieve the pain which he suffered from his previou injuries, prevented the knife of the assassin from striking too deep. The right cheek was laid opei, to the hone, and a fearful gash inflicted in the other. The neck was-pierced in two places, but no arteries were severed. Mr. Frederick Sew ard's injuries :were more serious. His loreheae was striven in by the blow from the pistol, and up to this hour he has , -.remained perfectly uncon scious. The operation of trepanning the skull has been performed, but little hope is had,of his re covery. Major Seward will get well. Mr. Han- - sell's condition is somewhat doubtful. - MR. SEWARD INFORMED OF ‘ THE ACTS OF Till ASSASSINS. Secretary• Seward, who cannot speak, was not informed-ot the assassination - of the President, and the injury to his son, until yesterday. He had been worrying as to why MiLincoln did not him. "Why dosn't the. President" come 'to sei mei" he asked with his pencil. "Where is Fred erick, what is the matter with him?" Perceiving the nervous excitement which-these doubts occa sioned, a consultation was had, at which it was fi. - natty determined that it would be best to let tin Secretary know the worst. Secretary Stantm. was chosen to tell him. Sitting down beside Mr Seward's bed, yeatetday afternoon, he therefore -related to him a full account of the whole affair Mr. Seward was so surprised and shocked that he raised one hand involuntarily, and groaned. ' WHAT TILE AS§ASSINS LEFT 11EHLND: An old-fashioned Colt's revolver was found in the hall of Mr. Seward's residence after the assas• sin left. It is the weapon with which Mr. Fred erick-Seward was felled. On the stage beneath the .resident's lox a piece of , spur was found. The gilt moulding around the front of the box was cut, showing that the spur hit it and was broken as the murderer of the President leaped from the box. This with the pistol and hat left in the box, show how swift and desperate were his move ments. An experiment was made to-day which proves conclusively that the pistol was -fired. through the door of the box, as was stated., One man -sat in the position occupied by the President, another, peeping through the hole made . through the door by the bullet, found that -its 'direction was straight to the back of the sitter's bend. Itt.

Your other correspondent; will have given- you all necessary particulars beari, ing upon their identity, their flight, and theaneas urea taken to arrest them. J. wirxrs BOOTH , 'Thursday week the asSassin was in Boston, and was moody and misanthrope. He made over all his property to-his mother some two Weeks since. and announced his intention of joining the Coated ' erate cause. Indeed, those who knew him best feel confident that he has committed suicide. On, of the most frequent quotations of J. Wilkes Booth in conversation was the following from his favor ite play of Richard III: "The daringyouth the fired the Ephesian dome outlives in fame the pion fool that reared it." J. Wilkes Booth is a son of the celebrated En-, glish actor, Lucius Junius Booth, and brother to Juniud Brutus and Edwin Booth, the tragedians He hi nself was an actor, but not of so great folio : as his brothers. He was born near Baltimore—, where his father finally took up his residence, - iii ' I'S3S, and is therefore now twenty-seven years of age. He is described to be five feeelfine and half inches in height, black hair and black eyes • His face is smooth, with the exception of a mu: tache of Moderate size. The life and career of J Wilkes Booth, ,who is now only twenty-six years old, have been market by few memorable incidents. He adopted th, stage as a profession in 1856, making his first op. pearancein Philadelphia. Since then he has phi) t 4 various "star" and "stock" engagements mostly in Southern and Western cities, with con. siderable success. His acting is said to have beet mainly characterized by extreme impetuosity, vi olence_imd extravagance, although not wanting at fillies in the true and earnest feeling which is air attribute of the whole family. He has once 0 1 twice appeared before New-York audiences, but with only moderate success.
