NURDEIi, OF NA. LLNt)OLN.—TIie
startling nswe of the assassination of Presi
dent LISCOLN and the attempt about the ; same
_timc_to k cc re andH sons,' th e
particulars of which will be found in to-day
paper, reached this place about noon on Sat.
urday last. The 'friends of Mr. LINCOLN
would noteredit the report until a.later hou .
in the day when a despatch was received eon.
fuming the sad news, Business . was at once
suspended and the different bells tolled for
an hour or longer. Flags and dwellings were
draped in mourning. Upon the countenance
of almost every man, woman and child, could
ho seen unmistakable evidence of sorrow the
most profound. Many gave vent to their
feelings in tears, sorrowing as though they
had parted with their last, best friend. The
commission of a crime so horrible and so un:,
, expeeted affected those even who had previ
ously been the
'one
enemies, and our
community as 'one man, almost, seemed to
feel and mourn the great loss thus sustained
by the country in the death of its honored
Chief. Magistrate. Certainly no man since
the days of WAsuAricro,N had accomplished
more for, his country and the cause of hu
, inanity, and none could have been more, en
titled to the congclenee and affection of the
patriotic masses. During a bloody war wa
ged for four long ycars.for the very existence
of our Government, he, was incessant at his,
post of honor, the helm of the nation,' with
an accumulation of labor and responsibility
resting upon him such as no former Vresi.:
dent was ever called upon to endure. This
great man, who seemed to have been guided
by the hand of Onthipitence in;leading his
country through darkness and peril, fell at
Wit the victim of assassinstionAtuartyr to the
collie of hiS country.
Amwmat...L.weiar,t4-,—rentar-ks-the—Luneas
ter Examiner, was the gift of God to this
land, if ever a man was so commissioned.—
lie was taken out of obscurity, and myste
riously advanced over statesmen to whom the
people had been almost solely looking fur
their chief magistrate. All his singular ar
ray of qualities vindicated the choice: No
man since Washington ever so completely
met the emergency amid which he .arose.—
Great SUCCCtiI orowned his efforts. tro saw.
the leading hope of his life realized, for he
testified his. faith, A, few hours before he fell,
that war had really given way to pence, Ilia
mission, perhaps, had been fulfilled, and he'
goes hence leaving
00ne of Ihe few, the immortal name.
That were nut barn to die."

rr J. D. Reamer, a prominent rebel sYm
patbiser of this place, went to the County
Jail, on Sunday evening, and asked to be
locked up in as a
. refugn from a crowd o
justly incensed eitiz t eas. About the first of
March last, Reamer confidentially informed
a customer while purchasing goods in his
store, that one hundred thousand dollars were
beiniraisedlo secure the assassination of
President LINCOLN. The assassin was to
receive fifty thousand dollars previous to the
commission of the deed, and the balance im
mediately after its' perpetration. This was
to be before the twelfth day of April. Af
fidavits to this effect were made by a man,
who overheard the information. The deed
occurring ao near the time set by Reamer,
and be being in Baltimore at the date of the,
occurrence, satisfied those who knew of his

President. Lincoln and his wife, together
with other,friendsoh is everting visited Ford's
Theatre, for the purpose :of witnessing the
performance of ''Our Amerioan.
It was announced in the mere that General
Goo, would also be present, but that gen
man -instead , toot the ;late Vain, Of • cars for
New Jersey. The theatre was densly crowd•
ed, and everybody,seemeddelighted with the
scene before them.
During the third act, and while there was
a temporary pause for one of the actors to
eater, the sharp report of a pistol,was heard,
which merely attracted attention; but sug

the front td . the President'S box, waving a
long , dagger in his right hand : and exclaim

to the opposite st e, t us ma • tag its escape,
amid the' beivildernieut of the audience, from
the rear of the theatre. and, mouuting a horse,
fled.
The screams of Mrs. Lincoln first disclos

their feet, rushing-towards - th - e — stage, many
e;ulaimint: "Hang him !" "hang him I"
Who excitement was one of the wildest pos.

abrupt termination of the theatrical perform.
once.
• There was a rush toward the President's
box, when Mies were heard "Stand back !"
"Give-him air !" "llas any one any stimu
lants?"
On ahagty, examination it was found that
the Vresident had been shot through the
head, above and back of the temporal bone,
and that some of the brain was oozing out.
He was removed to a private house oppo
site to the theatre, and the Surgeon Heneral
of the army and other Burgeons were sent for'
to attend to his condition;
On an examination of the private box,
blood was discovered on the back of the cush
ioned rocking-chair on which the President
had been sitting, also on the partition and ou
the floor. • A common single-barrelled pock
etlistol was found on the carpet. •
A military guard was placed in front of the
private• residence to which the President had
been conveyed.
An immense crowd gathered in front of it,
all deeply anxious to learn the 'condition of
the President. It had been previously an-'
nouneed that the wound was aortal, but all ;
hoped otherwise,

THE ASSASSINATION,
Particulart of the Awful Crime,
The thi President—The
• Dying Scenes
WAsliprOToN, April 15.—The excitement
'throughout the city is intense. Two gentle.
men who went to apprise the Secretary of
War of the attack on Mr: Lincoln met at the
'residence of the former a man ninfilled in a
cloak, who, when aceosted_by them, hsteried
,away without a word. It had been the Sea
retary's intention to accompany Mr. Lincoln,
and occupy, the same box, but a press of bu
slimes prevented. It therefore seems evident
that the aim of the plotters was to paralyze
the country by at once striking down the
head and the arm of the country.
As soon as the dreadful event.was anuoun.,
ced io the streets Superintendent Richards
land his assistants were at work to discover
the assassin. In a few moments the tele-'
; graph had aroused the whole .police force of
the city, Mayor Wallach and several mem;
hers of the city government were soon on the,
spot Every measure of precaution was ta
ken to preserve order in the eity,•aud every'
,s'keet was patrolled, At the request of Mr. :
Riehards, General Augur sent horses to
:mount the,Oleo. Every road out of Wash. ,
ington was picketed, and every possible ave-'
nue of escape thoroughly guarded. The ,
'steamboats about to depart down the Potomac,
were stopped.
As it was suspected that the conspiracy'
'originated in Maryland, the telegraph flashed'
the mournful news to Baltimore, and all thet
malty was immediately put upon active du.:
ty. Every road was picketed, and every'
precaution taken to prevent the escape of the
assassin. A preliminary examination was
made by Mr, Richards and his assistants,— '
Several persons wore called to testify, and
the evidence,
as elicited before an informal'
tribunal, and not under oath, was conclusive:
to this point, that the murderer of the Pres.:
ideut was John Wilkes Booth.
His hat was found in the private box, emit
identified b se , er..l ..etssins_who_had_seen
him within the last two days, and the spur
Which he dropped by accident after; he jump
ed to the stage was identified as, ne, of those
which ho bad obtained from the stable where
;he hired his horse. Booth has played more
than once at Ford's theatre, and is, of course
'acquainted with its exits and entrances, and
the facility with which he escaped behind
the scenes is easily understood.
The person who wounded Secretary Sew
tad left behind him a slouched bat and an old
rusty navy revolver. The chambers were'
broken loose, as if done by striking. The'
loads were 'drawn from the chamber?, one be
ing, but a rough piece of lead, and the oth-:
er balls smaller than the chambers, wrapped
in paper, as if to keep them from lulling out,'

ASTIINOTON, prt e a cep in
terest felt in Secretary Seward has thronged
his residence with visitors, among them pev
oral members of the Cabinet and foreign Min
isters He was informed yesterday, for the ,
first time, of the assassihation of the Presi
dent and of the attempted assassination of
his son, the assistant Secretary, and to. some
extent of the condition in which ho then lay.
Though moved with the intensest sorrow and
horror at a recital of the facts, his strength
had so far returned as to enable him to tear
up under the trying ordeal. .

BALtutonE, April 18.—A highly import
ant arrest has been' made here. The name
of the party is withheld at present Ho has
made a full confession, being one of the con
spirators against the life of the President.
and acknowledges himielf to be .the author
of the letter Signed "Sam," which was found
in Booth's trunk. It is understood that the
party alludes to states that' the original de
sign of the conspirators' was merely to cap
tura the President'toile time back, and in
this way compel a general release of all the
rebel pritioners then hold by the United
States. That when thegeneria exchange
'commenced the project was abandoned by
,him and others And ho as s he refused to
have anythlrfurthor to do with it, and en•
deavor . ed to induce the others to'give up their
designs upon the life of the President. This
is substantially a correct version of what the
prisoner hai so fur divulged. He is 4' well
known resident of Baltimore.'
The Identity of the Assassin' of 2lr. Seward.
The person arrested this morning was sup.
posed" to bo Surratt, but there is reasen to
'believe that the desperado is no other than
"Thernas,",the so called'"Vrench lady," who,
it will be remembered, captured the steamer
St—Nicholas in 1861, and who was subse
quentlY apprehended, tried,' convicted, and
sentenced to thc, penitentiary, from which',
by some cooans , h o was .released. Nothing
positive, howevey, isicnown on the subject.
Beeretary SeWard is much better'to,day,
