JCX" The announcement <>f the assassi nation of President Lincoln, with sucli par ticulars as we have been able to collect in relation to it, occupies so much of our space ; and our engagements in court, we hope will furnish a sufficient apology for the want of editorial and local matter in this issue. Several arrests of persons supposed to be Suritt, the person who attempted to assassinate Secretary Seward, have been made, but the real assassin is yet at large. J. Wilkes Boothe, the supposed murderer of Lincon is yet at large. . Ksr But few, if any civ'd causes will be tried at this term. Quite a number of indict ments have been found which may occupy most of the week in their deposition. The proceedings will be given in our next. — The lollowing telegraphic dispatch in reference to the drafted men. was received by Dept Provost Marshal Stephens, yester day (Tuesday.) TRUY, IStli. L.

I would not 11ft my hand nor open my mouth nor counsel my constituents to shed a drop of blood, or pay a dollar of treasure, if the Conslitunion i.- to be preserved emasculated of this safeguard of liberty. Iu these times, when so much is demanded, and and so much is at stake, with a generous confidence T would gvr to the ad ministration almost everything that they want. I would consent, and I have consent ed that the ibeas cot pus may be suspended and that extraordinary tribunals may be erected and instituted for the tra! of every body that voluntarily comes forward and connects himself with the public su-rvice.— But, Sir, if you are going to throw a drag net over the land, if you are going to bring in this whole people,and sulj ct them to the penalties that may bo inflict by military tri bunals and these court martials, then the last step in the humiliation and degradation of the country is taken, and we shall be left fit istruments for any despotism that the bold and the lawleos may see proper to establish over us."

The President of the United States was shot while attending at Ford's Theatre to night. It is feared that the wounds are mor tal. THE PARTICULARS, WASHINGTON. April 14. j Pres'uleht Lincoln and his wife, together ( with other friends.this evening visited Ford's Theatre for the purpose .of witnessing the ; performance of the '•American C>nsin," It was announced in ilie papers that Gen. ; Grant would al>o be present, but that gen tleman instead took the late train of cars tor New Jersey. The theatre was. densely crowded and | everybody 7 seemed delighted with the scene before tin in. During the third act, and while there was a temporary pause for one of the actors to en tr, Ihe sharp report of a pistol was hear', : which merely attracted attention,but suggest rd nothing serious until a man rushed to the fiontofthe President's b>x waving a long dagger in his right band, and exclaiming ' 11 Sic Semper Tyrannis /"'and immediately leaped Irotn the b"X. which was of the sec >nd tier, to the stage beneath and ran across to | the opposite side, thus making his escape, ; amid the be wildee ment of ihe audience, from (• : the rear of the theatre.an 1 ui> unti'g a hot.se, | fled. The screams of Mrs. Lincoln fir-H dis | closed the fact to the-audience that the Pies ! idetit had been shot tin nail present rose to | tlieir feet, tushing toward the stage, many j exclaiming, "Ilang him ! Hang hint !" The excitement was one of the wildest ! possible de scription, and of course there was 1 an abrupt termination ot the theatrical per | loiuiaiiCe. There was a rush toward the Presidential i hi x, when cries were heard : "Stand back ! G ve hint ait Hi ts any one stimulants ?" On a hasty examination, it was found that ' the President had been slrnt through the head, above and back of the temporal bone ; and that Some of the brain was ooz ng out, lie was removed to a private in use opposite ! the theatre, and the Sugcon General of the ; M iiny and other surgeons were ent for to at t. n>i to las condition. On an examination of the private box,blood was discovered on the hack of the cushioned i rocking chair on which the President had ' been sitting ; ais >, on the partit.on and on | lite floor. A common single barreled pocket | pistol was tunned on the carpet. A military guard a< placed in front of the priva'e residence to which tit? President hid been cnnvet ed. An immcuse crowd gathered in front of it, ! all deeply anx'ous to bun*, the condition <f the President. It had b n previously att ; riounced that the wound was tnoriaJ, but all hoped otherwise. The shock to the c-tiitiiunity was terrib'e. At midnight the Cabinet, with Messts. Sutnner, C illax and Fnn-worth, Judge Gat her, G vt rttor Oglesby, Genera! Meigs, Col. i Hay, and a few personal friends, with -Sur ge-on Gen. Bames and ids medical associates, ' wvre a round, his bedside. The President is in a dying condition at midnight. The President was in a state of syncope, ' totally insensible end breathing slowly, the blood oozing from the wourd at the back of his head. j The surgeons were exhaust ing every pos* sibletff rl of medical skill, but all hopu was j g""e. The parting of his family with the dying [ President is to sad for description. The President and Mrs. Lincoln did not start to the theatre till fifteen minutes afier 8 o'clock. Speaker Colfax was at the White II u-e at the time, and the President stated to iiitn that be was go ng. although Mrs. j Lincoln had not been well, bee use the papers bad advertised that General Grant had gone X<>rih, he did not wish the audience to be j disappointed. He wen' witu apparent reluc tance, and urged Mr. Colfax to go with him, but that gentleman had made other engage ments and with Mr. Ashmun, of Massachu setts, bid him good bye. " ATTEMPTED A'SASIN ATION OF SECRETARY SEWARD. When the excitement at 'he thentre was at its wildest height, reports were circu'a'ed that Secretary Seward bad also been assasin ated. On reaching this gentleman's residence a crowd and a military guard were found at the d< or, and on er.si ring it was a-cer'a'tied that the reports were based upon truth.— Everybody there was so excited that scarcely an intelligible account could be gathered,but the facts are substantially as follows : About ten o'cl ck a tnar rang the bell, and the call having been answered by a colored servant, he a>d he had cotne from I)r. Verdi, Secretary Seward's f.mdy physician, with a prescription, at the same time holding in his hand a smft'l piece of folded paper, and sav ing, in answer to a refusal, that he must see the Secretary, as he wis entrusted with a particular direction concerning the medicine. He still insisted on going up,although repeat edly informed thit no one could enffr the chamber. The man pushed the servant aside and walked quickly towards the Secretary's i 6"fim and was there met bv Mr. Frederick W. Seward, of whom he demanded to see the Secretary, making the same representation which he did to ihe servant. What further passt d in the way of colb quv. s not known but the man struck hi non the head with a billy, severely injuring the skull and felling him almost senseless. The assassin then rushed into the chamber and attacked Major Seward, paymaster in the United States ar | my, and Mr. Ilaosell, a .cssenger of the S'ato Department, and two male nurses, dis ! < abling them at). Ho then rushed upon the' Secretaty, wh. was lying in bed in the same rom, and inflicted three stabs in the neck, bu severing, it is thought and hoped, no; ar'enes, The rssassin then rushed down stairs, I mounted his horse at the door and rode off before an alarm could be sounded, and in the | same manner of ihe assassin of the President | It is believed the injuries of the Secretary are not fatal nor those of the others, although both the Secretary and the assistant Secreta ry are very seriously injured. Secretaries Stanton and Wells, and other prominent officers of the Government, called at Secretary Seward's house to enquire into his condition, and there heard of the assas-; sination of the President, proceeded to the | house where he was Ling, exhibiting of; course, intense anxiety aim solicitude. An inr ense crowd was gathered in ftotn j of the President's house and a strong guard ! also stationed there—many persons evident- : iy supposing that he would be brought to his home. The entire city to night presents a scene of wild excitennnt, accompanied by violent ex- j pres.siona of indignations and the profoundest ; sorrow. Many shed tears. The military authorities have despatched mounted patrols in every direc'inn in order,i pos>tble, to arrest the assassin; while the metropolitan p lice tie alike vigilant for the same put pose. The attack, both at the theatre and at Se- cretary Si ward's house, took place at about I the same hour (10 o'clock), thus showing a j preconcerted plan to assas-inate those gen- j tlemen. Some t v idences of the guilt of the | party who attacked the President are in pus ' session <d the police. Vice President Johnson is in the city, and ! his hoiel quarters are guarded by troops.

[From the New York World.] • To-day every loyal heart must sufler the terrible shock, and swell with overburdening ! giief at the calamity which has been permit ted to befall us, in the assassination of the Chief Magistrate. The splendor of our triumph is robbed of half its lustre. It Is a deeper loss than if our first soldier had fallen by a hostile fflil let, as the gallant Sedgwick fell ; more than if an army bad perished in the shock of bat tle. For it is the commander in-chief of our armies and navies who has fallen ; and he has fallen, not by the natural course of dis ease. nor in the accepted peril of war, but by the foul stroke if some unknown assassin. Our history has no parallel to this. Such grief as ours to day is uew to the nation's heart. The cry of the murderer as he leaped from the President's box and ran across the s'age. sic semper tyrunnis, betrays no madman's frenzy. The plot included the murferof Secretary Seward also, and all the circum stances show tfiat the same political fury and hate which lit the flames of the great rebell ion inspired these h-llish deeds ; and by so much as these detract from the splendor of our triumph in its utter 'subjugation, by so much do they brand with a deeper and more damning infamy it plotters, its leaders, its abet'or*, its symvathizeis, its character in impartial history. Into what proportions this calamity will yet develop, no human eve can now foresee. It's fleet upon the political future of the na tion will, at least, not be such as when a dy nast}' is overthrown Our laws provide for the succession to such remote degrees that even assassination cannot leave the nation without a visible leader and head. Andrew Jehnson to-day becomes the President of the Uuited States, and the chief political c insequenceb which will fol low from this tragedy will be mainly such as Ins personal character and political opinions, esptc'ally on the subject of reconstruction, shall determine. May God give him wisdom ; to discharge worthily the duties of hie great office.

Slowly moves along the solemn train, Thickly fall our tears above the slain, Hearts thai loved him, hands his own hara pressed, Bear the brave one to his honored rest* The habits, manners, and morals of this young man, gave ample proof to all who knew him, that ha had been carefully and piously reared. We do not hazard the truth for the sake of eulogy, when wa say that he was almost entirely fiee from thoaa popular vices of domestic insubordination public and. social recklessness, boldness and impurity which ao generally characterize the youth of our day. How many parents weep in hopeless and iaooa eolable sorrow at the graves of their fallen KM, stung with the bitter consciousness of having a!moat who!!; neglected their moral and religious cnltara and devel.ipement. But the parents of Jimmy, at they set within their clouded home and weep be neath the pressure of their great sorrow, may draw sweet solace from the reflection that no family ia tha community had reared a better boy, or oaa more generally beloved, and from no household has ! gone forth a nobler, manlier, or braver young sol dier, to battle and die for his country's liberties aad honor. 4n officer of his company writing to bia pi - rents, after his death, used the following language : ' I neeJ not tell you that we shall miss Jiounte much in our camp lite. He was beloved by all Ma, comrudos for his obliging disposition, and his gentle r. ways, lie as always ready to do his duty, aad it the time he was kill d, be was one of the foremost it the fight." The brave boys of Co. G. 2bo Regt P. V. showed how well they loved him. when they offered te peril their lives in helping his father to obtain his body, and they in fact did, for the companies do tailed with them to go out in search for the bidy, went without the usual formality of a flag of trues and consequently ran great risk of a bloody collie sion, as his grave was on neutral gronnd between the two armies. This most effecting proof of love for their hero son, his bereaved family, will ever greatfully cherish and remember, "Warm hearts beatf beneath the bine, Brave yet gentle, unadorned but true " Jimmie's life was brief, his military career of but few months duration, he sleeps with the brave, aad his name adorns the imperishable rechrda of Free doms martyrs, Weeping love shall set beside his toomb, Green the grave shall grow, the flowers bloom, While the hero done with blood and strife, Walks the peaceful plsins.of endless life.
