The following speech was made by the late President LINCOLN, on the eve- ning of the 11th inst., the evening ol the illumination of the White House and other government buildings in houor of LEE'S earrender: We meet this evening, not in sorrow, but in gladness of heart. The evacua tion of Petersburg and Richmond, and the surrender of the principal insurgent arihy gives hopes of a righteous and speedy peace, whose joyous expression cannot be restrained. In the midst of of this, however, He from whom all blessings flow must not be forgotten. A call for a national thanksgiving is being prepared, and will beduly promulgated. Nor must those whose harder part gives us the cause of rejoicing be overlooked, their honors muet not be parceled out with others. 1 myself was near the front, and had the high pleasure of transmitting much of thu good news to you. But no part of the honor for plan or execution is mine. To General Grant, his skillful officers and brave men all belongs. The gallant navy stood ready, but was not in reach to take an active part. By these recent successes the re-inauguration of the na- tional authority—reconstruction, which las had a large share of thought from the first—is pressed much more closely upon our attention. It is fraught with >reat difficulty. Unlike a case of war X'tweeu independent nations, there is no authorized organ for us to treat with. No one man has authority to give up the rebellion for any other num. We iimply must begin with and mould from disorgan- 'zed and discordant elements. Nor is it small additional embarrassment that we, the loyal people, differ among our- idvea as to the mode, manner, and measure of reconstruction. As a gener- al rule I abstain from reading the re- sorts of attacks upon myself, wishing jot to be provoked by that to which I cannot properly offer an answer. In pite of this precaution, however, it comes to my knowledge that 1am much censui«d for some supposed agency in setting up, and seeking to sustain, the ew government of Louisiana. In this [ have done just so much, and no more .han the public knows. In the annual message of December, •863, and the accompanying proclama- ion, I presented a plan of reconstruc- ion, as the phrase goes, which I prom- sed, if adopted by any state, would be cceptable to and sustained by the exec- utive government of the nation. I dis- inctly stated that this was not the only )lan which might possibly be acceptable ; ,nd I also distinctly protested that the ixecutive claimed no right to say when ir whether members should be admitted to seats in Congress from such states. This plan was in advance submitted to the hen cabinet and approved by every member of it. One of them suggested that I hould then and in that connection apply he Emancipation proclamation to the >efore excepted parts of Virginia and jouisiana; that I should drop thu sag- estion about apprenticeship for freed people, and that I should omit the pro- ;est against my own power in regard to he admission of members of Congress. Jut even he approved every part and arcel of the plan which has since been employed or touched by the action of T ouisiana. The new constitution of ouisiana, declaring emancipation for he whole state, practically applies the )roclamation to the part previously ex- mpted. It does not adopt apprentice- hip for freed people, and is silent, as it ould not well be otherwise, about the idmission of members to Congress. So hat, as it applied to Louisiana, every nember of the Cabinet fully approved he plan* The message went to Congress, and I eceived many commendations of the >lan written and verbal, and not a siu- jle objection to it from any professed emancipationist came to my knowledge unti} after the news reached Washing- on, that the people of Louisiana had begun to move in accordance with it, From about July, 1862, I had porres- poDded with different persons supposed to be interested in seeking a reconstruc- tion of a state government for Louisiana. When the message of 1863, with the plan before mentioned, reached New Or- l G l ^ J k t t h t h p , leans, General ^Janks wrote me that he was confident that the people with his military co-operatiou would reconstruct substantially ou that plan. I wro.te. to him and some of them to try it. T<h6jf tried it, and the result is known. Such has been my only agency in getting up the Louisiana government. A 8 l Q 8U8 ' taiuiug it, my promise is out as before stated. But as bad promises are better broken than kept, I sbttll treat this as a ! been shown a letter ou this subject, sup- I posed to be an able one, in, which the writer expi esses regret that my miud has not seemed to be definitelyfixedon the question whether the seceded states, BO culled, are iu the Union or out of it. It would, perhaps, add astonishment to his regret were he to learn that since I have found professed Union men en- deavoring to answer that question, I have purposely forborne any public ex- pression upou it. As it appears to me that question has not, been, nor jet is, a practically material one and could have o effect other than the mischievous one o dividing our friends. As yet, whateve it may become, that question is bad as th basis of a controversy, and good for nothing at alla merely pertinacious abstraction We all agree that the seceded states so-called, are out of their proper practi cal relation with the Union, aud that th< sole object of tlio government, civil ant military, in regard to those states, is to again get them into that proper practi cal relation. I believe that it is noi only possible, but in fact easier, to dc this without deciding, or even consider ing whether these states have ever been out of the Union, than with it. linding themselves tafely at home, it would be utter- ly immaterial whether they had been abroad. Let iia all join in doing the acts neces sary to restore the proper practical rela- tions between these states and the Union, and each forever after innocent y indulge his own opinion, whether in doiDg the acts he brought the states Torn without into the Union, or only jave them proper assistance, they never laving been out of it. The amount of constituency, so to peak, on which the Louisiana govern- nent rests, would be more satisfactory to all if it contained fifty or sixty thous- and, or even twenty thousand, instead f twelve thousand, as it does. It is also unsatisfactory to some that the lective franchise is not given to the colored man. / would myself prefer that t were now conferred on the very intelli- ent, and on those who serve our cause as oldiers. Still, the question is not whether the Louisiana government, as t stands, is quite all that is desirable. Che question is, will it be wiser to take t as it is, and help to improve it, or to eject and disperse ? Can Louisiana be rought into proper practical relation with the Union sooner by sustaining or discarding tho new state government ? Some twelve thousand voters in the eretofore slave state of Louisiana have worn allegiance to the Union, assumed o be the rightful political powers of the tate, held elections, organized a state »overnment, adopted a free state consti- ution, giving the benefit of public chools equally to black and white, and rnpowering tho Legislature to confer he elective franchise upou the colored nan. The Legislature has already oted to ratify the constitutional mendment recently passed by Con- ress, abolishing slavery throughout the ation. These twelve thousand persons are bus fully committed to the Union and perpetuate freedom in the state— ornmitted to the very things aud nearly II the|things the nation wants ; and they sk the nation's recognition and its as- istance to make good this committal, low, if we reject and spuru them we o our utmogt to disorganize and dis- erse them. We, in fact, say to the vhite man : you are worthless, or vorse ; we will neither help yon nor be elped by you. To the blacks we say : his cup of liberty with which these, our old masters, held to your lips, nil dash from you, and leave you to le chances of gathering the spilled and mattered contents iu some vague and ndetioedway, when, where, and how ? If lis course, discouraging and paralyzing oth white and black, has any tendency o bring Louisiana iuto proper practical elations with the Union, I have so far een unable to perceive it. If. on the ontrary, we recognize and sustain the ew government of Louisiana, the con- erse of all this is madt; true. W e en- ourage the hearts and nerve the arms f twelve thousand to adhere to their ork and argue for it, and proselyte for , and fight for it, and feed it, and grow ., and ripen it to a complete success, "'he colored man, too, in seeing all nited for him, is inspired with vigilance nd energy and daring to the same end. Jrant that he desires the eleotive fran- bise; will he not attain it sooner by aving the' already advanced step to ard it then by running backward over aem ? Concede that the new govern- nent of Louisiana is only to what it hould be as the egg is to the fowl, we ball sooner Imve the fowl by hatching he egg thau by smashing it. (Laugh- er.) Again, if we reject Louisiana we lso reject her vote in favor of the pro- >osed amendment to the national Con titution. To meet this proposition, it as been argued that no more than hree fourths of those states which have ot attempted secession are necessary to alidly ratify the amendment. I do ot commit myself against this further han to say that such a ratification would >e questionable and sure to be persist- ntly questioned, while a ratfication by hree-fourths of all the states would be unquestionable. I repeat the question —rcan Louisiana be brought into proper practical relation with the Union sooner >y sustaiuing or by d.i«eard,ing her nsw tate government. What hag been said of Louisiana will j>ply to other states. And yet, eo ji-eat peculiarities pertain to each state, nd such important and sudden changes ccur in the same state, and, withal, so ew and unprecedented is the wholo ase, that no exclusive and inflexible pies may and must be inflexible. Iu the present situation, as the phrase goes, it may be my duty to make some new announcement to tho peoplo of the South. I am considering, and shall not fail to act when satisfied that action will be proper. The President during the delivery of the above speech, was frequently inter- rupted by applause, and on its conclu- sion, in the midst of tho cheering, the band struck up a patriotic air, when he bowed and retired. From the Philadelphia PresH, April 10. Important Letter from J. Wilkes Booth, We have just received the following letter, written by John Wilkes Booth, and placed by him iu the hands of his brother-in-law, S. S. Clarke. It was written by him in November last, and left with J. 8. Clarke in a sealed envel- ope, and addressed to himself, in his own handwriting. In the same envelope were some United States bonds and oil stocks. This letter was opened by Mr. Clarke for the first time on Monday last and immediately handed by him lo Mar- shal Milward, who has kindly placed it in our hands. Mort unmistakably il proves that he must for many months have contemplated seiziug the person ol the late President. It is, however, doubtful whether he imagined the black deed which has plunged the nation into the deepest gloom, and at the samo time awakened it to a just aud righteous indiguation: MY DEAR SIR—You may use this as you think best. But as some may wish to know when, who, and why, aud as I know not how to direct, I give it (iu the words of your master,) To whom it may concern :" Right or wrong, God judge me, not man. For be my motive good or bad, )f one thing I am sure, the lasting con dem nation of the North. I love pleace more than life. Have oved the Union beyond expression,— For four years have I waited, hoped and )rayed for the dark olouds to break, and 'or a restoration of our former sunshine. To wait longer would be a crime. All iope for peace is dead. My prayers lave proved as idle as my hopes. God's will be done. I go to see and share the jitter end. I have ever held the South were ight. The very nomination of Abra- ham Lincoln, four years ago, spoke >lainly war—war upou Southern rights md institutions. His election proved t. '* Await an overt act." Yes, till fou are bound and plundered. What oily 1 The South were wise. Who hiuks of argument or patience when he Bnger of his enemy presses' on the rigger ? In a. foreign war, I, too, could say, " Country, right or wrong." But n a struggle such as ours, (where the jrother tries to pierce the brother's leart), for God's sake choose the right. rVhen a country like this spurns justice rom her side she forfeits the allegiance f every honest freeman, and should eave him, untrammeled by any Realty oever, to act as his conscionea may ap- prove. People of the North, to hate tyranny, o love liberty and justice, to strike at wrong and oppression, was the teaching f our fathers. The study of our early istory will not let me forget it, and may t never. This country was formed for the white, ot for the black man. And, looking upon African slavery from the same taudpoint held by the noble framers of >ur constitution, I, for one, have ever jonsidered it one of the greatest bles- ings (both for themselves and us) that xod ever bestowed upon a favored no. ion. Witness heretofore our wealth and power; witness their elevation and nlightenment above their race else- where. I have lived among it most of my life, and have seen less harsh treat- ment from master to man than I have jeheld in the North from father to son, Tet, Heaven knowf, no one would be willing to do more for the negro race han I, could I but see a way to still >etter their condition. But Lincoln's policy is only preparing he way for their total annihilation. The South are not, nor have they beon, ghting for the continuance of slavery, fhe first battle of Bull Run did away with that idea, Their causes since for war have been as noble and greater far ban those that urged our fathers on.— ven should we allow they were wrong at the beginning of this contest, cruelty nd injustice have mnde the wrong be- 3ome the right, and they stand now (be- ore the wonder and admiration of the world) as a noble band of patriotic he- oes. Hereafter, reading of their deeds, Dhermopyloe will be forgotten. When I aided in the capture and exe- cution of John Brown, (who was a mur- derer on cur Western border, and who was fairly tried and convicted, before an mpartial judge and jury, of treason, nd who, by the way, has sinco been inado a god,) I was proud of my little hare in the transaction, for I deemed it my duty, and that I was helping our common country to perform a simple act of justice. But what was a crime in )oor John Brown is now considered (by ;hemselves) as the greatest and only vir- ue of the whole republican party. Strange transmigration. Vice to be- come a virtue simply beoause more in- dulge in it. I thought then, as now, that the abolitionists were tho only traitors in the land, and that the entire party de- serves the same fate as poor old Brown ; not because they wish to abolish slavery, but on account of the means they have ever endeavored to use to effeot that abolition. If Brown wore living I doubt whether he himself wo;)ld set slavery againat tho Union. Most, or many in the North do, and openlj', curse the Uuion if the South is to return and retain a single right guaranteed to thorn by every tie whiuli wo oi;ee revered us s;un-cd. The South cau make no choice. It is either extermination or slavery for themselves (worse than death) to diaw from. I know my choice. I have a'sos'udied hard to discover upon what grouuds thu right of a Slate to secede has baen denied, when our very name, United States, and the Dec luratiou of Independence, loth provide for seoL'Sslon. But there is no time for words. I write in haste. I know how foolish I shall (jo deemed for underta- king such a stop as this, where, on the one sido, I have many friends and every thing to make mo happy, where my pro- feenion has gained me an incomo of more than twenty thousand dollars a year, and where my great personal ambit.on in my profession lias such a great fijld for labor. Ou the other hand, the South has never bestowed upon me one kind word; a ptece now where I have no friends, except beneath tho sod ; a plaoc where I must either become a private soldier or a beggar. To give up all of the former for the latter, besides my mother and sistors whom I love so dear- iy (although they so widely differ with me in opinion), seems insane; but God is \ny judge. I love justice more than I do a country that disowns it; more than fume and wealth ; more (Heaven pardon me if wrong) more than a happy home. I have never been upon a battle- field ; but oh! ruy countrymen, could you all but see the reality or effects of this horrid war, as I have seen them (in every State, save Virginia,) I know you would think like me, aud would pray the Almighty to create in the Northern mind a sense of right andjustxee (even should it possess no seasoning of mercy,) and that He would dry up this sea of blood between us, whicli is daily grow- ing wider. Also! poor country, isshe to meet her threatened doom ? Four years ago I would have given a thousand lives to seeher remain (as-I had always known her) powerful and unbroken And even now I would hold my life as naught to see her what she was. Oh ! ny friends, if the fearful scenes of the past four years had never been enacted, or if what has been but a frightful dream, from which wo could now awake, with what overflowing hearts could we bless our God and pray for his continued favor ! How I have loved the old flag can never now be known. A fewyears since, and the entiro world could boast of none so pure and spotless. But I bavo of late been seeing and hearing of the bloody deeds of which she has been made the emblem, ind would shudder to think how changed she had grown. Oh ! bow I have longed to see her break from the mist of blood and death that ircles round her folds, spoiling her beau- ty and tarnishing her honor. But no, day by day Las she been dragged deep- er and deeper into cruelty and oppres- sion, till now (in my eyes,) her once 3rignt red stripes look like bloody gaBh :s on the face of heaven. I look now upon myearly admiration of her glories as a dream. My love (as things stand ;o day) is for the South alone. Nor do deem it a dishonor in attempting to make a prisoner of this man, to whom she owes so much misery. If success attends me I go penniless to her side. They say she has found that "last ditch" whieh the North have so long derided and been endeavoring to force her in, 'orget.ting they are our brothers, and that it is impolitic to goad an enemy to madness, Should I reach her in safety, and find it true, I will proudly beg per- mission to triumph or die in that same 'ditch" by her side.

General Lee's Farewell Address, The following is Lee's farewell ad- dress to tho Army of Northern Vir- ginia : HKADIJUARTEKS, AHM-Y OVNORTHERN ) VIRGINIA. April 10. J GENERAL 0KDER NO. 10. After four years of arduous service, marked by unsurpassed courage and 'ortitude, the Army of Northern Vir- ginia has been compelled to yield to overwhelming numbers and resources, need not tell the survivors of so many .iard-fought battles, who havo remained steadfast to the last, that I have con- sented to this result from no distrust of them, but holding that valor and devo- tion could have accomplished nothing that could compensate for the. loss that would have attended the continuation of the contest, I have determined to avoid the useless sccrifico of thogo whoso paBt valor has endeared them to their countrymen. By the terms of agree- ment, officers aud men cau re.urn to their homes and remain thure until ex- changed. You will take with you the satisfaction that proceeds from the con» sequences of duty faithfully performed, ana I earnestly pray that a nierciiul God will extend you his blessing and protection. With an increasing admiration of your constancy aud devotion to your country, and a grateful remembrance of your kiud aud generous consideration of myself, I bid you an affectionate fare- well. R. E. LEE, General, When Sherman was in Savannah, a toadying civilian ventured upon a mild denunciation of the abilities of thi« Lieutenant General. "It won't do, sir," said Sherman, " it won't do ! Grant i.; a General! He stood by mo when I was crazy, and I stood by him when he was drunk, and now, sir, wo stand by each other,'' Good for Sherman ! John Wilkes Booth. The New York Ectnvig Pout says: Tlio latest telegrams from Washington state positively that the asaas-in of llie President was John Wilkes lj.ioth. Tins young Bi;iii-—for he is only tliirlv- three-ycais old is thu youngest sou ui tho elder Booth, and is next in order of birth to his distinguished brotneT Edwin. He was born on his father's farm, noar Baltimore, and is thus a Mary hit. der. Like hia two brothers, Edwin mid Ju- nius Brutus, ho iulu-ritcd and uaijy manifested a predilection for tho efiigc, and is -JVOII known to theatre goers and the public generally, it a very line-look ing young man, but u»an actor of m r promise than performance. He is best remembered, perhaps, in Richard, which he played closely aflur his father's coa ception of that character, and by his admirers, was considered superior to the elder Booth. He was quite popular in the western andsouthern cities, aud hi* lust extended engagement was, we be liove, in Cuieago. We have heard ex cellent actors say—and actors are not over-apt to praise enoh other—that ho had inherited some of tho most brilliant qualities of his father's genius. But of iate an apparently incurable brouchii affliction has made almost every engage- ment a failure. Thopapers and critics have apologized for his "hoarseness'' but it has long been know by his friends that he would be compelled to abandon the stage. Last winter he played an engagement in the St. Charles Theatre, in New Or- leans, under the disadvantages of his " hoarseness," and the engagement ;er- minated soouer than was expected o. that account. He had many old friends in that city, but this was his first appear- ance there siuee the inception of the re- bellion, Ou his arrival he called upon tho editor of one of tht) leading journals, lod iu the course of conversation he warmly expressed his sympathy with se- cession. Indeed, he wag well known as a secessionist, but he was not one of the noisy kind," He has the same quiet, subdued gentlemanly manner in his in tercourse with others, that madia his whole family. His last appearance in public in this city was on the evening of November 23, 186-1, at Winter Garden, when the play of " Julius Ctesar" was given for the benefit of the Shaksnearo Monu neut Fund, with a east including the three Booth Brothers- Edwin as Brutus, Junius as Cassius, and John Wilkes Marc Antony. There was a very arge and appreoiativo audieuco on that occasion. If it is indeed true that he is the assas- sin of the President, the universal indig- nation which will ootmigu him to last- ng infamy, will not prevent the expres- sion of the profoutidest sympathy and sorrow for those who are aLied to him )y blood; and whose condemnation of the act will not be less emphatic than our own; snd all the more emphatic, because of their outspoken fidelity to the oyal cause, and their heartfelt admira- tion of the late President. The Chioago Times says : Two years ago he was in this city, and, while here, was mainly remarkable for his outspoken disloyalty, his erratic behavior, and his jeastly intoxication whenever he could escape the guardianship of his friends, during a conversation at one time with Manager McVicker, he asserted that mmortality awaited any man who vould kill Mr. Linooln, and indorsed lis opiniou with the familiar quotation : The ambitious youth who fired the Ephe- bian dome, Outlives in fame the pious fool who reared it." The character of his father vascillat ;d between ccoontricity and well-defined nsanity, and it is probable that young [Jootu inherited this peculiarity, the same being intensified, or driven more nto the bitter, by his vicious habits, contemplating the immortality to be de- rived from this great on me, and inoited ;o it further byhis secession sympathies It is probable that he brooded over the dea till it absorbed his whole soul, and ie became a monomaniac. Having once decided upou if, he began to plan its ex- ecution. Insanity scarcely ever inter- feres with shrewdues j , and consequently )e projected his nefarious attempt with diabolical bkill. He is imturully a ru;iu of great cunning, and the utmost deter- ninatiou, and aided by these, he labored on ualil he consummated bis laburs ou sYfday evening. He has succeeded but too well. He has probably gained that iin:nortulity which hu so loug has coveted ; but it is an immortality whose contemplation and origin thrills the soul with loathing. His immortaliiy is simply to live forever execrated by good men ; it is such an immortality as belougs to the dumned spirits, whose suffering* go otorually. Women in Paraguay. The author of "Sketches in Para- guay," gives us this fragrant morsel : " Everybody smokes in Parngnay, and every female above thirteon yeara of age chews. I am wrong, They do not chew, but put tobacco in their mouths, keep it there conr-iartly, except when eating, and, instead of chewing, roll it about with their toqguo, and suck i .— Only imagine- yourself about to salute the rich red lips of a magnificent little Hebe, arrayed in patin and flashing with ilianiouds; she puts you buck with one delicate hand, while with the fnir, taper fingers of the other she draws from her mouth a hrowuisj) black roll of tobacco, quile Iwo inches long, looking liku a monstrous gruh, anddepositing the sav- ory morsel on the rim of your sombrero, puts up hur face-, and i-( ready for a sa- lute. I havo sometimes seen an over- delicate foreigner turn with a shudder of loathing under such ciroumstaue.es, and get the epithet of el savaco (the savagi-) applied to him by 'he ftVdl l beauty, for this sensitive squearnishneSB. However, one doon gets used to this in Paraguay, whore you are, perforce of custom, obliged to kiss every ladv you are introduced to; and one half you meet are really so tempting you would sip the dew of the proffered lips in the face of a tobacco battery, even tho double-distilled ' honey dew ' of old Vir- ginia." six for iu your Terms Cash. Ay ! that is the word for these time*. Credit is nowhere, comparatively. It ia well for all that its so. CJSII forms a spleudid basis for business. Witness these particulars : 1. It is safe,—What is made is surely made, and the profit and loss account may almost be banished from the ledger. At the end of a year you can tell wheth- er you have really made anything or not. You have tangible evidenoe of tha fact in your bank balance, or in goods and property. Your earnings are not in the pockets of other men montha or a year. Tho bird is hand. 2. It is pleasant.—Pleasant to the buyer ag well as to the seller. Tha cash buyer comes to you with a frank and open face. He feels independent of you. He has no favors to ask, for ha intends to pay on the spot for all ho buys. He chats with you without res- traint on equal terms. He hag your confidence, aud you treat with him with cordial respect, Both are happy. His business concluded, the hand shaking is mutually pleasant and satisfactory, 3. It is healthy.—The business breaat is not perturbed nor anxious about the business standing of a new customer. You do not look at him askance, nor does agitating suspicion prevent your friendly compliments. When you sell a bill of goods it is not at the expense of dyspepsia. Your mind is placid, for you know the transaction is safe. Good digestion is a perquisite of health ; aad with a placid mind to boot, the seller for cash ought to gain in substanoe. Doubtless 4. Il is benevolent.—On the cash plan the purchaser takes only as much aa he can pay for; he consequently has no worriment by day, nor tossings at night in devising ways to meet engagements for goods inconsiderately purchased, He looks before he leaps, and so cornea down softly. The sheriff never looks at his door; and he gets a good obar- acter among his neighbors, and soma rich man probably makes him hia execu- tor. The way is open for him. to plaeos of trust and honor, and who oau say that he may not become an alder- man or a senator ? The same health-oonsiderations that happily benefit the seller, equally blosa the cash buyer. Yes, surely, the cash system is sister to the gentle quality of mercy, " blessetb, him that gives and iiim that takes." The inference that we draw from tha above points is ; that the cash system ia a good plan all around; and winding up emphatically with Latin, we exclaim, Esto perpetua, Edwin Booth. Edwin Booth, the brother of tha as- sassin, is a devotedly loyal man, A few weeks since ho saved the life of tha President's son Robert, who, but for iiira, would have fallen beneath the oars while in motion. In some way the in- oident oame to the knowledge of Lieut. Gen. Grant u who at once wrote a civil letter to Edwin Booth, and said that if he could serve him at any time he would be glad to do so. Mr. Booth replied, playfully, that when he (Grant) was ia Kichmond he would like to play for him there. As before announced, he was iu Boston when the news of the per- petration of tho horrid orime of his brother reached him, and was to have made his last appearance at the Boston Theatre Saturday afternoon, On tho reception of the news of tho President'* assassination, manager Jarrot addressod note to him, releasing him. from hia engagement, and expressing sympathy with Mr. Booth iu the sorrow he must feel at the crime of his brother. This note drew out tho following letter in ra- ply, aud tho Providenoe Journal says ihat Mr. Booth passed through that oity Sunday night, ou h;s way to Washing- ton; SQUARE, BOSTON, ) April 15, 1885.

SIR—With deepest sorrow aud great agitation I thank you for re- lieving me from my engagement with yourself and the public The news of the morning has made me wretched in- deed, not only beoause I havo receivod the unhappy tidings of tho suspicions of a brothers crime, but because a good man and a most justly honored and pat- riotio ruler has fallen in an hour of na- tional joy by the hand of an assassin. The memory of tho thousands who havo fallen on the field in our country's do- fenoe during this strugglo cannot bo forgotten by me even in this, the most distressing days of my life. And I most sincerely pray that the victories we have already won may stay tho brand of war and the tide of loyal blood.

MR. LINCOLN'S LAST SPEECH.The following speech was made by

the late President LINCOLN, on the eve-ning of the 11th inst., • the evening olthe illumination of the White Houseand other government buildings in houorof LEE'S earrender:

We meet this evening, not in sorrow,but in gladness of heart. The evacuation of Petersburg and Richmond, andthe surrender of the principal insurgentarihy gives hopes of a righteous andspeedy peace, whose joyous expressioncannot be restrained. In the midst ofof this, however, He from whom allblessings flow must not be forgotten. Acall for a national thanksgiving is beingprepared, and will be duly promulgated.Nor must those whose harder part givesus the cause of rejoicing be overlooked,their honors muet not be parceled outwith others. 1 myself was near thefront, and had the high pleasure oftransmitting much of thu good news toyou. But no part of the honor for planor execution is mine. To GeneralGrant, his skillful officers and bravemen all belongs. The gallant navystood ready, but was not in reach totake an active part. By these recentsuccesses the re-inauguration of the na-tional authority—reconstruction, whichlas had a large share of thought fromthe first—is pressed much more closelyupon our attention. It is fraught with>reat difficulty. Unlike a case of warX'tweeu independent nations, there isno authorized organ for us to treat with.No one man has authority to give up therebellion for any other num. We iimplymust begin with and mould from disorgan-'zed and discordant elements. Nor is it

small additional embarrassment thatwe, the loyal people, differ among our-idvea as to the mode, manner, andmeasure of reconstruction. As a gener-al rule I abstain from reading the re-sorts of attacks upon myself, wishingjot to be provoked by that to which Icannot properly offer an answer. Inpite of this precaution, however, it

comes to my knowledge that 1 am muchcensui«d for some supposed agency insetting up, and seeking to sustain, theew government of Louisiana. In this[ have done just so much, and no more.han the public knows.

In the annual message of December,•863, and the accompanying proclama-ion, I presented a plan of reconstruc-ion, as the phrase goes, which I prom-sed, if adopted by any state, would becceptable to and sustained by the exec-

utive government of the nation. I dis-inctly stated that this was not the only)lan which might possibly be acceptable ;,nd I also distinctly protested that theixecutive claimed no right to say whenir whether members should be admittedto seats in Congress from such states.This plan was in advance submitted to thehen cabinet and approved by every memberof it. One of them suggested that Ihould then and in that connection applyhe Emancipation proclamation to the>efore excepted parts of Virginia andjouisiana; that I should drop thu sag-estion about apprenticeship for freed

people, and that I should omit the pro-;est against my own power in regard tohe admission of members of Congress.Jut even he approved every part andarcel of the plan which has since been

employed or touched by the action ofT ouisiana. The new constitution of

ouisiana, declaring emancipation forhe whole state, practically applies the)roclamation to the part previously ex-mpted. It does not adopt apprentice-hip for freed people, and is silent, as itould not well be otherwise, about theidmission of members to Congress. Sohat, as it applied to Louisiana, everynember of the Cabinet fully approvedhe plan*

The message went to Congress, and Ieceived many commendations of the>lan written and verbal, and not a siu-jle objection to it from any professedemancipationist came to my knowledgeunti} after the news reached Washing-on, that the people of Louisiana had

begun to move in accordance with it,From about July, 1862, I had porres-poDded with different persons supposedto be interested in seeking a reconstruc-tion of a state government for Louisiana.When the message of 1863, with theplan before mentioned, reached New Or-l G l ^ J k t t h t hp ,leans, General ^Janks wrote me that hewas confident that the people with hismilitary co-operatiou would reconstructsubstantially ou that plan. I wro.te. tohim and some of them to try it. T<h6jftried it, and the result is known. Suchhas been my only agency in getting upthe Louisiana government. A8 lQ 8U8 'taiuiug it, my promise is out as beforestated. But as bad promises are betterbroken than kept, I sbttll treat this as a

! been shown a letter ou this subject, sup-I posed to be an able one, in, which thewriter expi esses regret that my miudhas not seemed to be definitely fixed onthe question whether the seceded states,BO culled, are iu the Union or out of it.It would, perhaps, add astonishment tohis regret were he to learn that since Ihave found professed Union men en-deavoring to answer that question, Ihave purposely forborne any public ex-pression upou it. As it appears to methat question has not, been, nor jet is, apractically material one and could have oeffect other than the mischievous one odividing our friends. As yet, whateveit may become, that question is bad as thbasis of a controversy, and good for nothingat all—a merely pertinacious abstraction

We all agree that the seceded statesso-called, are out of their proper practical relation with the Union, aud that th<sole object of tlio government, civil antmilitary, in regard to those states, is toagain get them into that proper practical relation. I believe that it is noionly possible, but in fact easier, to dcthis without deciding, or even considering whether these states have ever beenout of the Union, than with it. lindingthemselves tafely at home, it would be utter-ly immaterial whether they had been abroad.Let iia all join in doing the acts necessary to restore the proper practical rela-tions between these states and theUnion, and each forever after innocenty indulge his own opinion, whether indoiDg the acts he brought the statesTorn without into the Union, or onlyjave them proper assistance, they neverlaving been out of it.

The amount of constituency, so topeak, on which the Louisiana govern-nent rests, would be more satisfactoryto all if it contained fifty or sixty thous-and, or even twenty thousand, insteadf twelve thousand, as it does. It is

also unsatisfactory to some that thelective franchise is not given to the

colored man. / would myself prefer thatt were now conferred on the very intelli-ent, and on those who serve our cause asoldiers. Still, the question is notwhether the Louisiana government, ast stands, is quite all that is desirable.Che question is, will it be wiser to taket as it is, and help to improve it, or toeject and disperse ? Can Louisiana berought into proper practical relation

with the Union sooner by sustaining ordiscarding tho new state government ?Some twelve thousand voters in the

eretofore slave state of Louisiana haveworn allegiance to the Union, assumedo be the rightful political powers of thetate, held elections, organized a state»overnment, adopted a free state consti-ution, giving the benefit of publicchools equally to black and white, andrnpowering tho Legislature to conferhe elective franchise upou the colorednan. The Legislature has alreadyoted to ratify the constitutionalmendment recently passed by Con-ress, abolishing slavery throughout theation.

These twelve thousand persons arebus fully committed to the Union and

perpetuate freedom in the state—ornmitted to the very things aud nearlyII the|things the nation wants ; and theysk the nation's recognition and its as-istance to make good this committal,low, if we reject and spuru them weo our utmogt to disorganize and dis-erse them. We, in fact, say to the

vhite man : you are worthless, orvorse ; we will neither help yon nor beelped by you. To the blacks we say :his cup of liberty with which these,our old masters, held to your lips, w«nil dash from you, and leave you tole chances of gathering the spilled andmattered contents iu some vague andndetioedway, when, where, and how ? Iflis course, discouraging and paralyzingoth white and black, has any tendency

o bring Louisiana iuto proper practicalelations with the Union, I have so fareen unable to perceive it. If. on theontrary, we recognize and sustain theew government of Louisiana, the con-erse of all this is madt; true. We en-ourage the hearts and nerve the armsf twelve thousand to adhere to theirork and argue for it, and proselyte for, and fight for it, and feed it, and grow., and ripen it to a complete success,

"'he colored man, too, in seeing allnited for him, is inspired with vigilancend energy and daring to the same end.Jrant that he desires the eleotive fran-bise; will he not attain it sooner byaving the' already advanced step toard it then by running backward overaem ? Concede that the new govern-

nent of Louisiana is only to what ithould be as the egg is to the fowl, weball sooner Imve the fowl by hatchinghe egg thau by smashing it. (Laugh-er.) Again, if we reject Louisiana welso reject her vote in favor of the pro->osed amendment to the national Contitution. To meet this proposition, itas been argued that no more thanhree fourths of those states which haveot attempted secession are necessary toalidly ratify the amendment. I doot commit myself against this furtherhan to say that such a ratification would>e questionable and sure to be persist-ntly questioned, while a ratfication byhree-fourths of all the states would be

unquestionable. I repeat the question—rcan Louisiana be brought into properpractical relation with the Union sooner>y sustaiuing or by d.i«eard,ing her nswtate government.

What hag been said of Louisiana willj>ply to other states. And yet, eo

ji-eat peculiarities pertain to each state,nd such important and sudden changesccur in the same state, and, withal, soew and unprecedented is the wholoase, that no exclusive and inflexible

pies may and must be inflexible. Iuthe present situation, as the phrase goes,it may be my duty to make some newannouncement to tho peoplo of theSouth. I am considering, and shallnot fail to act when satisfied that actionwill be proper.

The President during the delivery ofthe above speech, was frequently inter-rupted by applause, and on its conclu-sion, in the midst of tho cheering, theband struck up a patriotic air, when hebowed and retired.

From the Philadelphia PresH, April 10.

Important Letter from J. Wilkes Booth,We have just received the following

letter, written by John Wilkes Booth,and placed by him iu the hands of hisbrother-in-law, S. S. Clarke. It waswritten by him in November last, andleft with J . 8. Clarke in a sealed envel-ope, and addressed to himself, in his ownhandwriting. In the same envelopewere some United States bonds and oilstocks. This letter was opened by Mr.Clarke for the first time on Monday lastand immediately handed by him lo Mar-shal Milward, who has kindly placed itin our hands. Mort unmistakably ilproves that he must for many monthshave contemplated seiziug the person olthe late President. It is, however,doubtful whether he imagined the blackdeed which has plunged the nation intothe deepest gloom, and at the samotime awakened it to a just aud righteousindiguation:

MY DEAR SIR—You may use this asyou think best. But as some may wishto know when, who, and why, aud as Iknow not how to direct, I give it (iu thewords of your master,)

To whom it may concern : "Right or wrong, God judge me, not

man. For be my motive good or bad,)f one thing I am sure, the lasting con

dem nation of the North.I love pleace more than life. Have

oved the Union beyond expression,—For four years have I waited, hoped and)rayed for the dark olouds to break, and'or a restoration of our former sunshine.To wait longer would be a crime. Alliope for peace is dead. My prayerslave proved as idle as my hopes. God'swill be done. I go to see and share thejitter end.

I have ever held the South wereight. The very nomination of Abra-

ham Lincoln, four years ago, spoke>lainly war—war upou Southern rightsmd institutions. His election provedt. '* Await an overt act." Yes, tillfou are bound and plundered. Whatoily 1 The South were wise. Whohiuks of argument or patience whenhe Bnger of his enemy presses' on therigger ? In a. foreign war, I, too, could

say, " Country, right or wrong." Butn a struggle such as ours, (where thejrother tries to pierce the brother'sleart), for God's sake choose the right.rVhen a country like this spurns justicerom her side she forfeits the allegiancef every honest freeman, and shouldeave him, untrammeled by any Realtyoever, to act as his conscionea may ap-

prove.People of the North, to hate tyranny,

o love liberty and justice, to strike atwrong and oppression, was the teachingf our fathers. The study of our earlyistory will not let me forget it, and mayt never.

This country was formed for the white,ot for the black man. And, looking

upon African slavery from the sametaudpoint held by the noble framers of>ur constitution, I, for one, have everjonsidered it one of the greatest bles-ings (both for themselves and us) thatxod ever bestowed upon a favored no.ion. Witness heretofore our wealthand power; witness their elevation andnlightenment above their race else-

where. I have lived among it most ofmy life, and have seen less harsh treat-ment from master to man than I havejeheld in the North from father to son,Tet, Heaven knowf, no one would be

willing to do more for the negro racehan I, could I but see a way to still>etter their condition.

But Lincoln's policy is only preparinghe way for their total annihilation. TheSouth are not, nor have they beon,ghting for the continuance of slavery,

fhe first battle of Bull Run did awaywith that idea, Their causes since forwar have been as noble and greater farban those that urged our fathers on.—ven should we allow they were wrong

at the beginning of this contest, crueltynd injustice have mnde the wrong be-

3ome the right, and they stand now (be-ore the wonder and admiration of theworld) as a noble band of patriotic he-oes. Hereafter, reading of their deeds,Dhermopyloe will be forgotten.

When I aided in the capture and exe-cution of John Brown, (who was a mur-derer on cur Western border, and whowas fairly tried and convicted, before anmpartial judge and jury, of treason,nd who, by the way, has sinco been

inado a god,) I was proud of my littlehare in the transaction, for I deemed it

my duty, and that I was helping ourcommon country to perform a simple actof justice. But what was a crime in)oor John Brown is now considered (by;hemselves) as the greatest and only vir-ue of the whole republican party.Strange transmigration. Vice to be-come a virtue simply beoause more in-dulge in it.

I thought then, as now, that theabolitionists were tho only traitors inthe land, and that the entire party de-serves the same fate as poor old Brown ;not because they wish to abolish slavery,but on account of the means they haveever endeavored to use to effeot that

abolition. If Brown wore living I doubtwhether he himself wo;)ld set slaveryagainat tho Union. Most, ormany in the North do, and openlj', cursethe Uuion if the South is to return andretain a single right guaranteed to thornby every tie whiuli wo oi;ee revered uss;un-cd. The South cau make no choice.It is either extermination or slavery forthemselves (worse than death) to diawfrom. I know my choice.

I have a'so s'udied hard to discoverupon what grouuds thu right of a Slateto secede has baen denied, when ourvery name, United States, and the Decluratiou of Independence, loth providefor seoL'Sslon. But there is no time forwords. I write in haste. I know howfoolish I shall (jo deemed for underta-king such a stop as this, where, on theone sido, I have many friends and everything to make mo happy, where my pro-feenion has gained me an incomo of morethan twenty thousand dollars a year, andwhere my great personal ambit.on in myprofession lias such a great fijld forlabor. Ou the other hand, the Southhas never bestowed upon me one kindword; a ptece now where I have nofriends, except beneath tho sod ; a plaocwhere I must either become a privatesoldier or a beggar. To give up all ofthe former for the latter, besides mymother and sistors whom I love so dear-iy (although they so widely differ withme in opinion), seems insane; but Godis \ny judge. I love justice more thanI do a country that disowns it; morethan fume and wealth ; more (Heavenpardon me if wrong) more than a happyhome. I have never been upon a battle-field ; but oh! ruy countrymen, couldyou all but see the reality or effects ofthis horrid war, as I have seen them (inevery State, save Virginia,) I know youwould think like me, aud would praythe Almighty to create in the Northernmind a sense of right and justxee (evenshould it possess no seasoning of mercy,)and that He would dry up this sea ofblood between us, whicli is daily grow-ing wider. Also! poor country, is sheto meet her threatened doom ? Fouryears ago I would have given a thousandlives to see her remain (as-I had alwaysknown her) powerful and unbrokenAnd even now I would hold my life asnaught to see her what she was. Oh !ny friends, if the fearful scenes of the

past four years had never been enacted,or if what has been but a frightfuldream, from which wo could now awake,with what overflowing hearts could webless our God and pray for his continuedfavor ! How I have loved the old flagcan never now be known. A few yearssince, and the entiro world could boastof none so pure and spotless. But Ibavo of late been seeing and hearing ofthe bloody deeds of which she has beenmade the emblem, ind would shudder tothink how changed she had grown. Oh !bow I have longed to see her breakfrom the mist of blood and death thatircles round her folds, spoiling her beau-

ty and tarnishing her honor. But no,day by day Las she been dragged deep-er and deeper into cruelty and oppres-sion, till now (in my eyes,) her once3rignt red stripes look like bloody gaBh:s on the face of heaven. I look now

upon my early admiration of her gloriesas a dream. My love (as things stand;o day) is for the South alone. Nor do

deem it a dishonor in attempting tomake a prisoner of this man, to whomshe owes so much misery. If successattends me I go penniless to her side.They say she has found that "last ditch"whieh the North have so long deridedand been endeavoring to force her in,'orget.ting they are our brothers, andthat it is impolitic to goad an enemy tomadness, Should I reach her in safety,and find it true, I will proudly beg per-mission to triumph or die in that same'ditch" by her side.

HKADIJUARTEKS, AHM-Y OV NORTHERN )VIRGINIA. April 10. J

GENERAL 0KDER NO. 10.After four years of arduous service,

marked by unsurpassed courage and'ortitude, the Army of Northern Vir-ginia has been compelled to yield tooverwhelming numbers and resources,

need not tell the survivors of so many.iard-fought battles, who havo remainedsteadfast to the last, that I have con-sented to this result from no distrust ofthem, but holding that valor and devo-tion could have accomplished nothingthat could compensate for the. loss thatwould have attended the continuationof the contest, I have determined toavoid the useless sccrifico of thogo whosopaBt valor has endeared them to theircountrymen. By the terms of agree-ment, officers aud men cau re.urn totheir homes and remain thure until ex-changed. You will take with you thesatisfaction that proceeds from the con»sequences of duty faithfully performed,ana I earnestly pray that a nierciiulGod will extend you his blessing andprotection.

With an increasing admiration ofyour constancy aud devotion to yourcountry, and a grateful remembrance ofyour kiud aud generous consideration ofmyself, I bid you an affectionate fare-well.

R. E. LEE, General,

When Sherman was in Savannah, atoadying civilian ventured upon a milddenunciation of the abilities of thi«Lieutenant General. "It won't do, sir,"said Sherman, " it won't do ! Grant i.; aGeneral! He stood by mo when I wascrazy, and I stood by him when he wasdrunk, and now, sir, wo stand by eachother,'' Good for Sherman !

John Wilkes Booth.The New York Ectnvig Pout says:

Tlio latest telegrams from Washingtonstate positively that the asaas-in of lliePresident was John Wilkes lj.ioth.Tins young Bi;iii-— for he is only tliirlv-three-ycais old — is thu youngest sou uitho elder Booth, and is next in order ofbirth to his distinguished brotneT Edwin.He was born on his father's farm, noarBaltimore, and is thus a Mary hit. der.Like hia two brothers, Edwin mid Ju-nius Brutus, ho iulu-ritcd and uaijymanifested a predilection for tho efiigc,and is -JVOII known to theatre goers andthe public generally, it a very line-looking young man, but u» an actor of m rpromise than performance. He is bestremembered, perhaps, in Richard, whichhe played closely aflur his father's coaception of that character, and by hisadmirers, was considered superior to theelder Booth. He was quite popular inthe western and southern cities, aud hi*lust extended engagement was, we beliove, in Cuieago. We have heard excellent actors say—and actors are notover-apt to praise enoh other—that hohad inherited some of tho most brilliantqualities of his father's genius. But ofiate an apparently incurable brouchiiaffliction has made almost every engage-ment a failure. Tho papers and criticshave apologized for his "hoarseness'' butit has long been know by his friendsthat he would be compelled to abandonthe stage.

Last winter he played an engagementin the St. Charles Theatre, in New Or-leans, under the disadvantages of his" hoarseness," and the engagement ;er-minated soouer than was expected o.that account. He had many old friendsin that city, but this was his first appear-ance there siuee the inception of the re-bellion, Ou his arrival he called upontho editor of one of tht) leading journals,lod iu the course of conversation hewarmly expressed his sympathy with se-cession. Indeed, he wag well known asa secessionist, but he was not one of the

noisy kind," He has the same quiet,subdued gentlemanly manner in his intercourse with others, that madia hiswhole family.

His last appearance in public in thiscity was on the evening of November23, 186-1, at Winter Garden, when theplay of " Julius Ctesar" was given forthe benefit of the Shaksnearo Monuneut Fund, with a east including thethree Booth Brothers- Edwin as Brutus,Junius as Cassius, and John Wilkes

Marc Antony. There was a veryarge and appreoiativo audieuco on that

occasion.If it is indeed true that he is the assas-

sin of the President, the universal indig-nation which will ootmigu him to last-ng infamy, will not prevent the expres-

sion of the profoutidest sympathy andsorrow for those who are aLied to him)y blood; and whose condemnation ofthe act will not be less emphatic thanour own; snd all the more emphatic,because of their outspoken fidelity to theoyal cause, and their heartfelt admira-tion of the late President.

The Chioago Times says : Two yearsago he was in this city, and, while here,was mainly remarkable for his outspokendisloyalty, his erratic behavior, and hisjeastly intoxication whenever he couldescape the guardianship of his friends,during a conversation at one time withManager McVicker, he asserted thatmmortality awaited any man whovould kill Mr. Linooln, and indorsedlis opiniou with the familiar quotation :• The ambitious youth who fired the Ephe-

bian dome,Outlives in fame the pious fool who reared it."

The character of his father vascillat;d between ccoontricity and well-definednsanity, and it is probable that young[Jootu inherited this peculiarity, thesame being intensified, or driven morento the bitter, by his vicious habits,contemplating the immortality to be de-rived from this great on me, and inoited;o it further by his secession sympathiesIt is probable that he brooded over thedea till it absorbed his whole soul, andie became a monomaniac. Having oncedecided upou if, he began to plan its ex-ecution. Insanity scarcely ever inter-feres with shrewduesj, and consequently)e projected his nefarious attempt withdiabolical bkill. He is imturully a ru;iuof great cunning, and the utmost deter-ninatiou, and aided by these, he labored

on ualil he consummated bis laburs ousYfday evening.

He has succeeded but too well. Hehas probably gained that iin:nortulitywhich hu so loug has coveted ; but it isan immortality whose contemplation andorigin thrills the soul with loathing.His immortaliiy is simply to live foreverexecrated by good men ; it is such animmortality as belougs to the dumnedspirits, whose suffering* go o» otorually.

Terms Cash.Ay ! that is the word for these time*.

Credit is nowhere, comparatively. It iawell for all that its so. CJSII forms aspleudid basis for business. Witnessthese particulars :

1. It is safe,—What is made is surelymade, and the profit and loss accountmay almost be banished from the ledger.At the end of a year you can tell wheth-er you have really made anything ornot. You have tangible evidenoe of thafact in your bank balance, or in goodsand property. Your earnings are notin the pockets of other menmontha or a year. Tho bird ishand.

2. It is pleasant.—Pleasant to thebuyer ag well as to the seller. Thacash buyer comes to you with a frankand open face. He feels independent ofyou. He has no favors to ask, for haintends to pay on the spot for all hobuys. He chats with you without res-traint on equal terms. He hag yourconfidence, aud you treat with him withcordial respect, Both are happy. Hisbusiness concluded, the hand shakingis mutually pleasant and satisfactory,

3. It is healthy.—The business breaatis not perturbed nor anxious about thebusiness standing of a new customer.You do not look at him askance, nordoes agitating suspicion prevent yourfriendly compliments. When you sella bill of goods it is not at the expense ofdyspepsia. Your mind is placid, foryou know the transaction is safe. Gooddigestion is a perquisite of health ; aadwith a placid mind to boot, the sellerfor cash ought to gain in substanoe.Doubtless

4. Il is benevolent.—On the cash planthe purchaser takes only as much aa hecan pay for; he consequently has noworriment by day, nor tossings at nightin devising ways to meet engagementsfor goods inconsiderately purchased,He looks before he leaps, and so corneadown softly. The sheriff never looks

at his door; and he gets a good obar-acter among his neighbors, and somarich man probably makes him hia execu-tor. The way is open for him. toplaeos of trust and honor, and who oausay that he may not become an alder-man or a senator ?

The same health-oonsiderations thathappily benefit the seller, equally blosathe cash buyer. Yes, surely, the cashsystem is sister to the gentle quality ofmercy, " blessetb, him that gives andiiim that takes."

The inference that we draw from thaabove points is ; that the cash system iaa good plan all around; and windingup emphatically with Latin, we exclaim,Esto perpetua,

Booth, the Assassin, KilledThe following telegraph from the

Secretary of War announced to all the iaud yesterday morning that J . WILKSS

BOOTH, the infamous assassin of Presi-dent LINCOLN, hud met summary pun-shuient for his crime :

W A S DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, )

April 27Ui, 9-20 A. M. $To MAJOR CKSKRAL DIX :

Many will no doubt regret that BOOTHhad not been reserved for some otherdeath, but this ending of the tragedy inwhich he h;is played for an immortalityof infamy if, perhaps, the best.

the incongruity of their present andformer position. Let them repent andconfess their wrong doing, then theymay speak. I have heard of brazen-faced people, but seldom havo met witbsucL an exhibition of this ;.s in the caFeto which I have alluded. But brassand copper are kindred metals, as theinstance before us fully shows. S.

Now, we have no design to count upthe Democrats who have gone into thearmy from this city, and who havefallen in defense of the country; no de-sign to figure up the moneys subscribedand paid by Democrats to bountyfunds ; no boastings to make of dona-tions to aid cr other societies. All thisis of the past, and loyalty that needssuch bolstering is not worth a red. Butwe have to advise the corps oi editorsand conti ibutors of the Courier, that be-fore they prato any more about anybody cot having " lifted a finger," orbefore they prohibit Democrats rejoicingover " the recent victories," they hadbetter clear their own skirts. Wordypatriotism will not fill - our quotas, anduntil the editor-in-chief pays his sub-scription made to help clear the sub-district he honors by living in fromthe last draft, the subeditors of theCourier or regular contributors woulddo well to let the Democrats who haveaided in "saving his bacon" rejoice over" the recent victories" when and as theymny see fit.

The 5th coipsia now posted along the south side of therailroad, guarding that lino, and the9th, which did that duty till lately, isnow on its way to the capital, fromwhich report says it will be transportedto a distaut point ef the rebellion. The2tth corps is on march for Richmond,where the bulk of it now is. The 2ndtorps is here waiting orders.

From North Carolina-New York, April 2fi.

Advices from Nowberu 22d, are re-ceived. The city was draped in mourn-ing and a meeting was held that day togive expression to the public sorrow fortho death of President Lincoln.

The Standard and Progress papers con-ducted by their old proprietors, appearin mourning, and gay President Lincolnwas the best friend tbe South had, andthat the touth sutlers more in his deaththan the North.

The ratification of the Constitutionalamendment abolishing slavery is regard-ed as certuin. The desiro to return tothe Union appears general throughouttho State. Gen. Sherman's army is incamp awaiting the answer of govern-ment to the rebel propositions.

A State Convention, to consist ofdelega'es from oil the counties in North

is called for the 14th of ;\by.

Just before Mr. LINCOLN'S aesas-ainition he received a dispatch fromPortland, saying : " Beverly Tucker andJacob Thompson will be here to morrowin disguise, to leave on the steamer forEurope. What shall we do ? " Declar-ing it to be his intention to give theleading confederates an opportunity toleave tho country, he replied, let themgo. This permission it is said was re-voked by a cabinet officer while by theside of LINCOLN'S death-bed. The as-sassin of LINCOLN did not render therebel leaders good service.

£ 3 £ " The radical journals are bit-terly denouncing Gen. SHERMAN for theterms agreed to by him as a basis ofpeace. All his good works and gallantdeeds count for nought, and for a singlemistake—and that subject to the approval or rejection of the Government—he is to be deprived of his command,court martialed, disgraced, and consign-ed to infamy. SIIKUMAN, the " peace-maker" of the lust political campaign, isnow the " traitor." I t is to be hopedthe Government will not yield to suchpassion.

The demonstrations ofrespect pnid them in Philadelphia, NewYork, Albany, and other cities, in tran-sit, have been imposing and iuipressivo.Mrs. LINCOLN does not accompany thefuneral train.

of the Iiooth brothers, was arrested inPhiladelphia on Wednesday, and takento Washington. He is suspected ofhaving known his brother's intention to

based on a question in a letter from himfound among hi» brother's papers, " Howg Richmond and oil V

A few of the radical journal* ofthe country—and among them to thedisgrace of the State, be it said, '.he De-troit Tribune—are charging the assassi-nation of President LINCOLN upon theDemocratic party, simply because thoparty opposed previous to the late elec-tion the political policy of the adminis-tration, and because the ultra men ofthe party used more severe language intheir criticism of the acts of the President, than might have even been wise inthe heat of a political campaign. Wosubmit that this course is Dot calculatedto breed good feeling among neighborsaud friends, and that besides it is agross slander upon a large minority of citizens who acknowledgetbe self-as3erted claims of no man, men,or party, to superior patriotism. TheDemocrats mourn the uutimely death ofMr. LINCOLN not as partisans but as cit-

izens, and it would be well for those whohave sunk tho citizen in tho partisan,nnd who mourn only as politicians, andclaim the exclusive right to mourn, toremember that sneers, and taunts, andinuendoes may cot produce tho best re-sults to the country, or if they carenothing for the country, fo themselves.

KZ3T Maj. Gen. Dix has given to thepublic a dispatch from Secretary SXA.N-TON, announcing that Gtn. GRANT reach-ed Gen. SIIKRMAN'S army on the 24th,and gave that officer the message fromthe President repudiating his peace negotiations, aud that notice had been giv-en JOHNSTON of the termination of thetruce, and that no civil matters could beentertained in any convention betweenarmy oommanders.

F^° A correspondence between Gen.eral BRISBAIN and Governor BKAM-

LBTTE, of Ky., indicates that the latterwill call an extra sesssion of the Ken-tucky Legislature, and recommend theadoption of the constitutional amend-ment abolishing slavery. He regardssuch a disposition of the vexed quesiionthe most practical, and thinks it maysave tho State from the dirth of indus-try and suspension of production.

n a s g 'v e n noticethat all paroled officers of LKE'S army,in Richmond, wishing to go to Europe,will be furnished with passports on ap-plication at the office of the ProvostMarshal for the department of Virginia.This seems to settle the meaning of theterms granted by Gen. GRANT, andwould indicate that the Government isnot disposed to a general hanging-bee.

The funeral demonstration inhonor of the late President, had in Do.troit on Tues Jay, was an imposing af-fair. The oration by Hon. J. M HOW-ARD is highly commended.

ing Secretary of State, in a notice to thepublic on the 17th of April, requestedthe various religious denominations toassemble on the 19th of April, on theoccasion cf the obsetjuies of AbrahamLincoln, late President of the UnitedStates nnd to observe the same withappropriate ceremonies; and

£he Occupation of MobileA correspondent of tho Cincinnati

Gazette says :On Monday, the 10th of April, the

little steamer Mustang ran up to thelanding at Spanish Fort, regardless ofthe torpedoes, which bad sunk some ofour iron-clad vessels, and paralyzedothers ; reconnoitered Forts Tracy andHuger; received the oompliment ofsome forty heavy shots fired at her, andreturned without injury.

All boats at Howard's Landing, below Spanish Fort, were detained on or-der of General Cunby, to carry the 13thcorps over to the west side of the bay,where it was intended they should landand move upon mobile from the south,while the 16th corps and other troopscrossed the Tensas and Mobile Rivers,and advanced upon the city from thenorth.

All day it was evident that the enemywere leaving Mobile, and destroyingsuch property as they could not takeaway.

On Tuesday, the 11th, Tracy andHuger, which had been abandonedduring tho night, fell into our hands,with twenty pieces of heavy artillery.

Wednesday, tho 12th,' Brigadier Gen-eral Veatch, commanding the 3d Divis-ion of tbe 13th Corps, crossed the baywith a portion of his command, aud atDog River point, near the mouth of thestream of that name, was met by theMayor of Mobile, and a deputation ofcitizens, who formally surrendered thecity into his hands.

That evening some of our transportsmoved up to the wharf at Mobile, andon Thursday morning the Union flagwas floating from all the public build-ings; and our troops were received bymany of the populace with enthusiasticdemonstrations of joy.

Such of the rebel troops as still con-tinued under the redoubtable Maury,embarked in transports, Tuesday night,and escorted by a couple ot gunboats,moved up tho Mobile and AlabamaRivers, towards Montgomery.

One of our tugs, |tbc Ajthea, ai>d a

beautiful little craft called the Laura,formerly used as a dispatch boat byGeneral Granger, were blown up bytorpedoes in the buy on Wednesday.

On Thursday the I6ih corps reoeivedmarehiug orders, ::nd started up theriver, in tho direction of Montgomery.

Our entire loss in theso two opera-tions will not exceed 800 in killed andwounded.

Recent explorations have demonstra-ted that the Colorado river is navigablesix hundred miles above its mouth, andto within four hundred miles of SaltLake

How to Sell Wool.I notice, in vrmr issue of Match 2lst,

^vory proper and verj sensibly writtennpticle byAV. A. l)ryer, of . Lansing, inwhich ho complains that after takinggreat pains to wash his wool, and do itlip iu a good marketuble manner, usingthe least possible amount of twino, thebuyer acknowledged that liia wool wasof superior quality, and done up in aworkmanlike manner, aud yet he wouldgive him no more per pound than he•j:tve the farmer who raised heavy,yolky wool, not a quarter washed, andthen wallowed in the dirt on a summerfallow or public highway four weeks bo-fore shearing, and almost covered withheavy black twino in tying up. He asks,•• Has not the course pursued by thewool dealers and manufacturers foryears patt in buying our wool had a di-rect tendency to discourage honest well-doing, and encourage the slovenly ordishonest farmer iu his manner of pre-paring his wool for market?" We an-swer, most emphatically, it has. Theyemploy men to buy for them who knowlittle about wool. These persons buyon commission, aud are restricted to acertain price, beyond which they cannotgo, aud beiug paid only for what theybuy, they take all they can get hold ofat that price. The remedy for this is inthe hands of the farmers; and if themanulacturers are disposed to employsuch inefficient buyers in the West, orallow speculators to come in betweenthem and the faricers, and obtain suchenormous sums of money which reallybelong to the fanners, they can refuse tosoil Vo such men, and quickly changethe whole system.

It is a fact well known to all, bothEast and West, that the great bulk ofthe wool raised in the West, is general-ly sold in the month of June, and in avery few days. These commissionagents employ men who know even lessabout wool than themselves, to ridethrough the country in breathless baste,and buy all the wool in their section iutwenty-four hours; while the smallerfarmers who reside near the agents, withtheir wool tied up in blankets andsheets, rush with almost as great hasteto the agent to dispose of their wool, asthe rider does to buy. la the Easterncities, manufacturers and dealers are as-much agitated and ruu about to obtainmoney on their paper, for which theypny heavy discounts, to pay for the woolwhioh is being scrambled for in theWest. The farmer has to pay thisheavy discount on paper; he has to paythis enormous cost of buying; he has topay these enormous fortunes which spec-ulators make on their wool. Whateverthe cost the manufacturer is at, in thepurchase of wool, it is added to theiraccount. And M is the amount paidwhich constitutes the cost of. manufac-turing. To the manufacturers, it makesno difference whether they pay thatsum to speculators in the East, or tothe farmers in the West, but it doesmake a great differenoe to the farmerswhether they or somebody else getethat money. Farmers may be assuredof this, that in the present system ofbuying and selling wool, there is, tothem, a large protective tariff, and theycan have it if they will.

Let the farmers be in no haste to selltheir wool in June; they are not sopifshed for money as to be obliged topay such heavy discounts for money inthe East, or to pay such enormous costsof buying. When these gentlemencome along who buy wool at the gallop,tell them to ride on. Few of these menare employed by manufacturers; tfiegreat bulk operate for speculators, who,when the wool is bought,.consign it forsale to the commission merchants; andhere it is that discrimiuation is used inthe sale of wool. Here wool that hasheavy string upon it, is sold for threecents per pound less than that whichhas just enough ; here Mr. Dryer wouldfind that his wool, well-washed and doneup in the manner he represents, wouldbring from ten to fifteen or twenty cents-per pound more than the quarter wash-ed, Summer fallowed and highway dust-ed wool of his neighbor. The farmerscan consign their wool to the commis-sion merchants, and keep it out of thehands of speculators; they can avoidthat suicidal policy of rushing theirwool into the market in June, breakingdown prices and upturning everything.Th\s is not done- with other farm pro-duce, and because it is not done so withwheat, is the reason why it is sold ac-cording to quality.

It farmers are pressed for money whonthey consign their wool, the commissionmerchants will make advances; he hasto do it for the speculator and mightjust as well do it for the farmer. Howho had the choicest wool would soonfind that he had not only obtained thebest price, but had the readiest sale, audthe farmer who has but a small quantitymay rest assured that it would receivethe same attention as larger lots. Thiswould also be an advantage to manufac-turers, for then they could buj justwhen they wanted, and what they want-ed, without the excitement of the woolseason, or the necessity of rushing intothe money market, and increasing itsvalue by making it scarce, and producingdepressions as soon as the demand forloans ceased. That farmers may wellconsider this subject is the desire oftheir FRIBND,

Ihe History of Dr. Schenck's own Case, and Kow he was

cured of Consumption.

Many years ago, whilst residing in Philadelphia, Ihad progressed gradually into the last stage of Pulmonarv Consumption. All hopes of my recovery be-ing dissipated. I was advised by my physician, Dr. Par-rish to remove into the country. Jloorestown, NewJersey, being my native place, 1 was removed thither.My father and all his family had lived and died there—and died of Pulmonary Consumption. On my arrivalI was nut to 1 ed, whore I lay for many weeks in whatwas deemed a hopeless condition. Dr. Thornton, whohad b e n my father's family physician, an'i had Ht-tended-him in his last illness, was called to see me. Hethought my case entirely beyond the reach of medicine,and decided that I must die, and gave me one week toarrange my temporal affairs. In this apparently hopelest* condition, I heard of the remedies which I nowmake and sell. It seemed to me that I could feel themworking their way, and penetrating every nerve,fibre,and tissue of my system.

My lungs and liver put on a new action, and the morbid matter which for years had accumulated and irri-tated the different organs of the body, was eliminated,the tubercles on m . lungs ripened, and I expectoratedfrom my lungs as much as a pint of yellow offen^vematter every morning. As this eipoctoration of mut-ter subsided, the fever abated, the pain left me thecough ceased to harass me, ami the exhausting night-sweats were no longer known, awl I had re resilingsleep, t" which 1 had Ion? be™ a stranger. My appe-tite now beg ii to loturn, and at times 1 ftmnd it diffi-cult to restrain mvself from eating too much ; withtiiis return of health, 1 gained ill strength, and nowam fieflhj. 1 am now a healthy man, with a largohealed cloatiW iu the middle lobe of the right lung andthe lower lobe Lepatized with complete adhesion ofthepleura. The left lung is sound, and tlie upper lobe ofthe right one is in atolorably healthy condition.

Consumption at that time was thought to bean in-curable disease, by every one, phy.-iiwns as well asthose who were unlearoedin medicine—especiallysuchcases as wen' reduced to the condition I was in. Thisinduced many people to believe my recovery only tem-porary. I now prepared and gave the medicines toconsumptives fer some time, and made many wonder-ful cures ; and the demand increased fio rapidly that Ideteimined to offer them to the public, and devote myundivided attention to lung diseases. In truth, I wasnext to foreed to it, for people would tend for me farand near, to ascertain whether their cases were like ;

For many years, in conjunction with my principaloffice in Philadelphia, 1 have been making regular pro-fessional visits to New York, Boston, Baltimore, andPitt'burg.

lM,r several .veals past I have made as many as Bvehundred examination weekly with the "Respirometer."Kor sueh examination my charge is three dollars, andIt mables me to give each patient the true-condition ofhis disease, aud tell him frankly whether he will getwell.

The great reason why physicians do not cure Con-sumption is, that they try to do too much ; they giveme' icines to stop the cough, to stop the n ght sweat',heirtie fever, and by «o doing they derange the wholedigestive system, looking up the secretions, and event.ually the patient diee.

Th6 Pulmonic Syrup 13 one of the most vittuablomedicines known, ft Is nutrient, powerfully touic.andhealing in itself. It contains no opium, yet loosensthe phlegm in the bronchial tubes, and nature throwsit off with little exertion. One bottle frequently curesan ordinary cold; but it will be well first to take a doseof Schenck's Mandrake's Fills to cleans: t'le stomach.The Pulmouic Syrup is reaoily digested a.rd absorbedinto blood, to which it imparts iti healing properties—It is one of the best preparations of iron in use ; it is apowerful tonic of itself: an 1 when the Seaweed Tonicdissol es the mncus In the stomach, and is carried offby the aid of the Mandrake Pills, a healthy How ofgastric juli e, good appetite, and a good digestion follow.

The Seaweed Tonic is a stimulant, and none other i-<required when it is npt:>1. It Id pure and pleasant; nobad effects line when uViiig Bourbon whisky, which dis-orders the stomach, tiApori the liver, locks up all thesecretions, turns the blood into water, dropsy set« in,aud the patient dies suddenly.

Bourbon whisky is recommended n o w days by al-most every phyhitiin. Many patients that visit myrcomf, both malt and female, are stupefied witli thispowm. Tlie relief is temporary. If they cough theytake a little wl.isky ; if they feel wuik and feeble theytake a little whisky ; if they canrot sleip, they take alittle whisl.v ; and they go on in this way, requiringmore andmore until they are b-loated up, and imaginethey are getling Beshy. Tho se.unach, liver and di-gestive powers are completely destroyed, and lose theirappetite for food. No one was ever cured of consump-tion by this process, where cavities have been formedIn the lungs A little stimulant is frequently benefi-cial to consumptives, such as pure brandy or good-vipa* ; in many tases London porter or bi own stout inmoderate quuiriies ; but Bourbon whisky hastens oninstead ot curing consumption.

The Seaweed Tonic produces lasting resutes, thor-oughly invigorating the stomach and digestive system,and enabling it to eliminate and i, ake into healthyblood the food which may b used for that purpose —It is »o wonderful fo its effects lint a wine-glass lullwill digest a heartv meal, and a little of it taken beforebreakfast will give a tone to the etoruack which fewmedicines possess the power of doing.

The MANDRAKK I'H.1.8 may be taken with entiresafety by all iges and conditions, producing all the(rood results that can be obeu'ned from calomel, or anyof Che mercurial medicines, and without any of theirhurtful or injurious results. They carry out of thesystem the feculent aud worn out matters loosened anddissolved by my Seaweed Tonic and Pulmonic Syrup.—It will be seen that all three of my madiciuos are need-ed in iu«.«t oases to sure Consumption.
