aid to weir The reason, we suppose, that it did net
extend an indefinite distance further, is that the Chatta-

oomraand. This shows that, unlike the Sherman
negotiation of April 18, the present is strictly a military I
surrender, and that neither Jeff. Davis, Breckinridge, nor ,
any of the civil rebel leaders bad anything to do with it, I
The negotiation of the 18th, of which Davis was the dicta- I
tasunovered the entire Confederate territory and secured
hie own safety. The region between the Chatta-
hoochee and the Miesieeippe includes the States;
of Alabama and Mistiming. it!kry important position
in both these states is rd our hands, and
the only rebel troops in them are the few thousaai fugi-
tives who escaped from Mobile recently on its garret:dor,
and who have probably been chased into chaos before this
time by the cavalry of General Wilson. Thus, it can now be
said that peace reigns over the entire South—if we except the
singleStato of Texas. The great armies of the rebels are sow
all broken up, and every man of them is sworn to keep the
peace. Ali the rebel arms, artillery, and munitions of war
are in our keeping. Under these circumstances there will
be little difficulty in maintaining order and the national
authority all over the South. Secretary Stanton's import-
r ant order, issued on the 13th inst., providing for the cedar
lion of the army, the curtailment of expenses, and the
opening up of trade and commerce, can now very soon take
actual effect.

THE CAPTURE OF
SSN. MR. LINCOLN'S
ASSAI
The New York papers publish the full particulars
of the capture of Booth and Harold. It seems that,
it having been ascertained that the two men had
crossed the Potomac, a foroe of cavalry at once
started in pursuit. On the night of the 26th ult.
the fugitivee were found to have secreted themselves
in a barn, near Bowling Green, in Caroline county,
Virginia. A detachment of the 16th New York
Caialry came up and surrounded the barn.
Booth's flight had been impeded by a broken
leg, his horse having fallen with him on the
night of the aasassination, facturing his ankle.
This aocident finally led to his discovery, the
surgeon who reduced the fracture having been
arrested in Maryland, and the necessary informa-
tion derived from him, and others of the same
neighbourhood.
As soon as the barn was surrounded Booth was
called upon to surrender. The following colloquy
is said to have taken place between Booth and
Lieutenant Baker, of the cavalry :
Ramis—You must give up your arms end surrender.
We will give you five nanutee to consider, and then we will

THE CONFEDERATE LOAN.
The New York Time 3 of the 28th ult. has the fol-
lowing article on the Confederate ken in England :
"It is now greatly to be regretted that the rebel loan
put on the market in England two years ago was not
larger in amount. Not more than fif teen million
of dollars of it, we Wier*, has ever been disposed of,
and this is hardly sufficient to make the loss of it as
widely and as severely felt ea mild be desired. It was all
taken, and is probably most of It now held by the most un-
ecrupulona, unprincipled, cynical, and money worshiping
portion of the English burials' world ; and we need hardly
say that it would not only cause deep satisfaction
to all good men everywhere to feel that this crew
had been heavily mulcted, but would help the cause
of morality all over Christendom. There is no way in which
they can be so severely punished as through their
pockets, and there is no kind of punishment so
peculiarly appropriate. Those on whom the news
of Lee's surrender will fall most heavily will be the
large holders of cotton, • class which, though gene.
rally hostile to the North, is not by any means so
deserving of retribution as the holders of the loan. Many
of the former have been guided in their speculations by •
mistaken estimate of the oomperative strength of the bell*
.
nets, based partly on impeded and partly on utterly false
information as to the state of things here, although not
troubled by much sympathy for either North or South:
The probabilities are, that they are by this time nearly ell
ruined. The fall of Riohmood, though it may have shaken
them severely, did net lay them prostrate, as we believe
they generally looked forward to its loss or evacuation, but
consoled themselves with the belief that Lee would make
a good retreat, and would be able to protract the war
in the interior. The surrender of his army, however, there
is no getting over. That is a remorseless, cruel fact, which
cannot be twisted, or turned, or explained away. Even the
ingenious James Spence, of Liverpool, would, we are
satisfied, decline writing a letter about it to the Times.
So that we may safely expect to beer by the next mai
that moat of the great Yorkshire and Lancashire cotton
speculators have been sacrificed on the ' Confederate cotton.'
Guilty or innocent, we doubt if one human being except
their creditors will witness the spectacle with any feeling
but one of satisfaction."
THE DREADFUL STEAMBOAT ACCIDENT
ON THE MISSISSIPPI.
The steamer Sultana, from New Orleans on the
evening of the 21st, arrived at Vicksburg with her
boiler leaking badly. She remained 90 hours re-
pairing and taking on board 1,996 Federal soldiers
and 230 officers lately released from the Cahawba
and Audersonville prisons. She arrived at
Memphis last evening, and after coaling proceeded.
About 2 a.m., when seven miles up, she blew up
and immediately took fire and burned to the water's
edge. Of 2,106 souls on board rot more than
700 will be recovered. Five hundred were
rescued, and are now in the hospital. Two
hundred or 300 uninjured are at the Sailors' Home.
Captain Mason, of the Sultana, is supposed to be
lost. At 3 o'clock this morning the river in front
of Memphis was covered with soldiers struggling
for life, many of ttem badly scalded. Boats im-
mediately went to the rescue, and are still en-
gaged in picking them up.
General Waffitbume immediately organised a
board of officers to investigate the affair. No
further particulars received.
Another dreadful accident occurred on the Poto-
mac river near Blackstone. The steamer Massa-
chusetts collided with a small propeller, sinking
the latter, and so badly damaging the Massachusetts
that she could with difficulty be kept afloat. In
the excitement a number of soldiers on the Massa-
chusetts, fearing an explosion, became panic-
stricken and leaped overboard, fifty of them being
drowned.

Harold by this time having concluded to sur-
render, thrust bin wrist through the door to be
handcuffed, and was then dragged out, denounced
as a coward by his desperate companion. All this
took place in the dark, the night being cloudy.
Colonel Conger, in command of the cavalry, being
satisfied that further parley was useless, set fire to
the hay through the crevices of the barn, and
the building was soon in flames. Through
the:oracka between the boards Booth was seen in
the middle of the floor leaning upon a crutch which
be then threw aside, and grasping a carbine be
limped towards the door. Sergeant Corbett, who
had crept up to the barn, now fired through an
aperture, the shot taking effect in the head of
Booth, who fell to the floor. The soldiers then
entered the barn, and removed the then dying man
to the porch of an adjoining house, and Colonel
Conger at once sent for a surgeon. Booth was
at first insensible, but finally revived a little, and
said to Colonel Conger in a feeble voice, " Tell
mother I die for my country. I did what I thought
was for the best." When an effort was made to
revive him by bathing his hands and face with
water, he uttered the words " Useless, useless,"
and soon afterwards expired. He was shot at 15
minutes past 3 a.m., and died about four hours
afterwards. His body was conveyed to Washing-
ton, and is said to have been fully identified and
' secretly brined, being first sewn up in an army
blanket. _ _

Lewis Payne, the man who attacked Secretary
Seward, is now in jail in Washington. He recently
attempted to beat his brains out against the iron
bars of his cell, but was prevented, securely bound,
and his head encased in a wadded cap, iu order to
frustate any similar attempt at self destruction.
Secretary Seward is rapidly regaining strength,
and has already been out riding. His eon is out of
danger.
The port mortem examination of Booth's body
showed that the ball did not touch the brain, but
striking the spinal column produced imme-
diate paralysis. The opinion of the surgeons is
that be must have died a horrible death, the brain
being active, and consciousness complete up to the
very moment of his death. Nearly all the parties
directly implicated are now in custody. Payne,
the would-be assassin of Secretary Seward, is a
brother of the St. Alban's raider. There are six
brothers all reckless and daring feilows. Two were
with Walker in Nicaragua.

THE SURRENDER OF GEN. JOHNSTON.
The surrender of General Johnston is officially
announced as follows:

War Department, April 28, 3 p.m.
Major General Dix.,—A despatch, just reoeiced from
General Grant, dated at Raleigh, 10 p.m., April 26, states
that "Johnston surrendered the forces in his command,
embracing all from here to the Chattahoochee to General
Oberman, on the bails agreed upon between Lee and
myself for the army of Northern Virginia."
EDWIN K. 9rarrow, Secretary of War.
