Vatufdau_, P.% ,18'65.
r eir We clip from the. New York pa
pers the following items with regard to
the homage paid the remains of Presi
dent Lincoln : "One thousand singe'rs
performed a mournful dirge as the re
mains were carried by eight soldiers
from the hearse to. the Governor's room.
The coffin was placed on an inclined
plane so that:the face was in full view of
the passers for two or three minutes.
The embalmers then rearranged the
body, which had been somewhat diatur:
bed by the journey; after which the -lid
was removed, affording a view of the
face and upper portion of the breast.
The appearance of the dead President
bears no marks of pain, but the eyes are
sunken, the .face somewhat discolored
and sallow about the lower part, and
dark around the eyes and cheeks. . The
lips are very tightly compressed. The
remains will. not again be exposed to
view until their arrival at Springfield.
After the embalmers had prepared the
body for public inspection, and the
whole lid of the coffin being still open,
a full length photograph of the corpse
was taken. The lid was then closed,
except enough to show the face, and tke
crowd was allowed to enter the City
Hall. Many of the visitors were fe
males, a large proportion of whona wept
bitterly, and one or two endeavored to
kiss the corpse, but were prevented.
One poor Irish woman laid a small cross
at the foot of the coffin, with a "God
preserve your soul." The eartiestness
and apparent joy at depositing her tri
bute to the dead visibly affected the'ina-,
mediate spectators.
The common council-had decided not
to admit negroes into the procession,
but Secretary Stanton telegraphed to
Ge• - . '': ro allow them to partici
• , te, which they did.
flair John Wilkes Booth, and. Harrold,
his accomplice, were chased from Saint
Mary's county,
.Maryland, where they
have been secreted ever since the mur
der, to Gvnill's farm, on the Rappahan
nock, near Port Royal, where they took
refuge in a barn. The barn was sur
rounded and a demand made for , their
surrender; Harrold was willing, but on
Booth i calling him a coward, he refused;
the barn was then set on fire and upon
getting too , hot, Harrold presented him
self at the door and had his hands hand_
cuffed ; whilst this was being done,
Booth fired on the soldiers, upon which
a sergeant fired at him, the ball striking
him in the head ; he died in about an
hour afterward, durii which time he
was whispering blasphemies against ttie
government ; Harrold was taken
He, and Booth's bOdy, were brought to
Vashington.

THE APPEARANCE OF THE PRESIDENT
The following truthful description of
the appearance and embalming of Presi
dent LINCOLN is taken from a ‘Vashiug
ton correspondent of a New Yerlil pa
per:
Death has fastened upon his frozen
face all the character and idiosyncrasy
of life. Be has not changed one line of
his grave, grotesque countenance, nor
smoothed out a single feature. The hue
is rather bloodless and leaden ; but he
was always sallow. The dark eyebrows
seem abruptly arched ; the beard, which
will grow no more, is shaved close, save
the tuft at the short, small chin. The
mouth is shut, like that of one who had
put the foot down firm, 'mid so are, the
eyes, which look as calm as slumber.
'Pie collar is short and awkward, turned
over the stiff elastic cravat, and what
ever energy, or humor, or tender gravi
ty marked the living face is hardened
into its pulselesi outline. • No corpse in
the world is better prepared according
to appertinces. The white satin around
it reflects suffiedent light upon' the face
to show'us that death is really there.
Three years ago, 'Whet) little Willie
Lincoln died, Drs. Brown and Alexan
der, the embalmers or injectors, prepared
his body so handsomelyqbat the Presi
dent had it twbe disinterred to - look
Upon it. The same men, in the same
way,-have' made perpetual those beloved
lineaments:- There is now no blood in
the body •; 'it was drained bithe jugular
vein and sacredly preserved, and through'
a cutting on the inside of the thigh the
empty•blood vessels were charged with
a cheinical preparation which soon hard
ened to the consistency of stone. The
long and bony body is now hard and
stiff, so that beyond its present position
it cannot be moved any more than the
arms or legs of a statue.' It has under
gone many changes. The scalp has
been removed, the brain scooped out,
the chest t opened, and veins emptied.
All this we see of Abraham Lincoln, so
cunningly contemplated in this splendid
coffin, is a inere'shell, an•effigy, a sculp
ture. Be lies in • sleep, but - it' is the
Jeep of marble. All that made this
flesh vital, sentient, and affectionate is
gone for..ver.
INVESTIGATING TUE -Nuanee.. 7 By di
rection of the - Secretary of War, Gener
al Augur - has issued au order prohibit
ing all those-engaged in conducting •in
vestigations of matters connected with
the:murder of the late President, and
the attempted assassinatioaof Sec . retary
Seward, from divulging any information
brought out by the investigation, except
to the War Department and the head
quarters of the - Departnient. --One of
the most remarkable circumstances con
nected with the assioisination is that , all
the private boxes in the theatre had
been engaged ,by unknown;parties on
the morning of - Friday. They were un
oecupied during the•night, so that when
Booth jumped on the stage after the
commission of the act- he did .not fear
arrest from any parties who might have
occupied them. This is but another,
and one of the strongest, eviderices , going
to show the premeditation of the murder.
The cpiestiori now arises, who rented
the boxes, and did it not naturally
arouse suspicious on the part of some
body coiinected '• with the :theatre to
know-that all the boxes . ' - w - ere - rented
a yet not occupied ?-- Events- will
soon determine these mysteries. •
ifir Cop. Andrew Johnson, President
orthe United States, is in, the fifty : sixth
year of his age. kiis ; family resides at
present
,Tenuessee, and,
consists of his yvife, and four children,
two sons,and tw,o, daughters. His son
Robert- is twenty-nine,• and Andrew
Johnson, Jr., is twelve years of age.
His two daughters, with their families
also reside in Nashville, 'having' been
driten'Worn`their homes Ai East Ten:
nessee. One of Mr. 'Johnson's ions,
Charles, a: surgeon in the army, was
thrown from his horse in the year 1863,
and killed and Colonel Stover, a son-in
jaw, ctiminanding the 4th regiment of
Tennessee" infantry, was killed in the
battle of Nashville, while gellantly
leading his command. on `the 18th of
December, 1864. Judge Patterson,
who is also a son-in-law of the Presi
dent, lives in Nashville. Mrs. Johnson
has been in very delicate health for
some time past, and it is probable Mrs.
Colonel Stover will preside over the.
Presidential household.
'Yoh Saturday morning, a rebel
resident of Washington city inquired of
a guard 'in' front of tke State Depart
ment if it were true the President was
dead. The soldier replied, it was.
Whereeptm,the citizen replied, "I--dm
d—d glad of it;" He had hardly con

put . , a ball through , his head, and be

GENERAL SHERMAN'S BLUNDER.—Froin
official dispatches it will he seen that
Gen. Sherman has committed a most
serious blunder in his negotiations with
the rebel Gen. Johnston, touching what
some would call a surrender, but what
is really nothingmore than a disbanding
on the part of the rebels, going home,
placing their arms in the State arsenals,
and promising not to oppose the Gov
ernment any more. Acookding to the
terms conceded by Sherman, the United
States would be placed in a most humil
iating position. We should lose every
thing we have been Ehting for.
Was Gen. Sherman mad when be
agreed .to such terms ? No sane man
could have so utterly transcended his
polvers,j:n . o.wipg as t.e„yrips.khayslirtown.
that Grant, in the terms allowed to Lee,
and in reply to propositiohs from the
latter, emphatically disclaimed all au.
thority to treat upon the question of an
armistice, or any political subject what
ever. Sherman had the same instruc•
tioris from tie President; yet in the
face of them, he assumes the power to
set tlethe entire political as well as . mil
itafy poiky of the c'ountry.' •
It is true the Government promptly
and in the strongest manner disapproved
of the sad business, ordered Sherman to
resume and vigorously prosecute hostil
itieS, and in the mean time dispatching
Lieut., Gen : , Grant to relieve him of
the command, withprderso compel the
rebels to an unconditional surrender;
but the blunder will still survive to dim,
the ltistre 'of the fame of the man in
whom'we all had so much confidence.
Sherman was our model general. We
regarded him as riot only possessing
military genius of a,high oider, but as
intellectually the ablest of our comman
ders. In fact the fore . ° and style of his
dispatches and letters impressed us with
the belief that he enjoyed a respectable,
share of statesmanship. But it cannot
be denied that to concede the terms he
did, viewed in a military point, was an
unparalleled act under the : circumstan.
ces ; and viewed in a civil or political
light, it can be accuuutedjor only ,on
the score of insanity. Be seems, to
have been complet6,ly deluded by the
wily rebels, who laid a trap for him, in
order to gain time to escape from the
vengeance. of the country by making
good their retreat into foreign lands,
with the booty plundered from their
own deceived and outraged followers.
tiFir It has been stated . that Millard
Filmore's house in Buffalo has been dis
colored with ink. This is not, a, fact;
but it is a fact disgraceful to the man
that displays, no mourning on his house.
Nor hio he, since the beginning of the
war, exhibited the American colors, or
shown the slightest sympathy with our
soldiers or our cause. That, Millard
Fillmore.is a disloyal man there remains
not a doubt, and the American people
should make him feel the force of their
overpowering rebuke.ClicagcTribune.

VC FIAT IT M EANT.-W hen the Rich
mond papers announced, a few days be
fore-the 4th of March, that an event was
about to transpire which would seed a
thrill of joy throughout the South, and
startle the world, it probably had refer
ence to the tragedy which has since
startled the whole country by its enor
mity. It is.known that Booth intended
to assassinate the President on that day,
but the want of co-operation in those
who were to assist him, defeated the
plan. The "world has been startled,"
but the "thrill of joy" which was to be
felt throughout the South, is now a feel
ing of fear for the consequences of their
work.
fir Senator L. S. Foster, the new ,

New-London county, Conn:, November
22, 1806, and is a direct descendant of
Miles Standish. He has been a mem
ber of the General Assembly of Connec

the city of Norwich, and. United States
Senator, to,which position he was elec.
ted in 1855, and re-elected .in 1860.
