got enough on their hands just now ; this year has
been prolific of cases for inquiry, but the more light
that is thrown upon the subject the better,
for at present many err unknowingly for
want of experience and full comprehen-
sion of the requirements of a case. It is cer-
tain the inmates of workhouses are not allowed
sufficient air and exercise, and the effects of these
deprivations, combined with poor food, are most
unfortunate. At any rate, we shall now- stand a
chance of many revelations taking place, and the
more known the better for the cause of improve-
ment and progress where they are so much needed.

NEW YORK, APRIL 28, 1 p.m.

Mr. Stanton reports to-day that Booth and Har-
rold (his accomplice) were chased from a swamp in
St. Mary's County, Maryland, to Garrett's Farm,
near Port Royal, on the Rappahannock by Colonel
Baker's detectives. A barn in which they took
refuge was fired. Booth was shot at and killed. Har-
rold was captured. Booth's body and Harrold are
now in Washington.
The following further particulars have also been
received. It appears that Booth and Harrold,
dressed in Confederate uniforms, reached Garrett's
Farm several days ago. Booth was wounded. In
conversation, he denounced Lincoln's assassination,
and said that the rewards offered would doubtless.
be increased to half a million. The Garretts, when
arrested, asserted that they did not suspect it was
Booth. Canadian bills for a large amount were
found upon him. Harrold remains incommunicative.
Booth was shot through the head ; he lingered
for three hours. His foot also was injured, and he
used crutches. The cavalry who surrounded the
barn summoned Booth and Harrold to surrender.
The latter seemed inclined to acquiesce, but Booth
accused him of cowardice. After the barn was fired
Harrold surrendered, but Booth shot at the cavalry
sergeant, who returned the fire and killed him. It
is supposed that Harrold is an accomplice of the
assassin who attacked Seward. Dr. Mudd, of
Maryland, set Booth's leg, and supplied him with
crutches. Mudd has been arrested.
Booth's brother, Junius Brutus, has also been
arrested.

The Confederates burned 94,000 bales of cotton
before evacuating Montgomery.

Gen. Canby reports that he captured in Mobile
and the defences on the west side of the. Bay 150
guns, 1,000 prisoners, and 3,000 bales of cotton.

guns, 20,000 to 30,000 bales of cotton, and several
gunboats were captured at Mobile.
A blockade runner, with 1,000 bales of cotton on
boaro, was captured up the river.

Kirby Smith's army is said to be disbanding.
General Halleck's command embraces the depart-
ment of Virginia, the army of the Potomac, and
such parts of North Carolina as are riot occupied

for the present, but is to report to Halleck.
The Government has furnished passports and
passages to nalifax to those officers of Lee's army
-who wish to leave the country.

ME SU Pi, LOA DOl'`, MONDAY EVE

Lincoln had caused a bitter feeling among Sher-
man's troops, who received the armistice order very
coldly.

Wilson occupied Macon on the 20th, taking
Howell Cobb, Gustavus Smith, and other pri-
soners. All claimed the benefit of the armistice.
Sherman directed Wilson to withdraw from Macon
until further orders, unless he believed the rebels
were changing their status to the prejudice of the
Federals.

Several members of the Carolina Legislature are
en route to Raleigh to negotiate the restoration of
the State to the Union.

It is reported that Jefferson Davis was at Hills-
boro' during Sherman's negotiations, and wrote the
terms of Johnston's surrender. Other accounts
say that Davis had previously left HilLsboro' for the
Trans-Mississippi Department, escorted by 200
cavalry. According to a rumour not considered
trustworthy, he crossed the Mississippi at Turkey
Bend on the 16th inst.

A Richmond banker has received information that
Davis is having specie, estimated at from $6,000,000
to $13,000,000, conveyed in waggons south from
Goldsboro'.

The Attorney-General has given an opinion
denying the right of paroled Confederates to take
up their residence or to wear the Confederate uniform
in the loyal States.

Paroled prisoners have been ordered to divest
themselves of their uniform.

The Governor of Western Virginia is said to
have been instructed to establish a State Govern-
ment and assemble a loyal Legislature in Richmond.
Mr. W. H. Seward is rapidly progressing towards
convalescence. His son is also daily improving.

The New York Assembly has adopted the Central
Railroad Fare Bill. The people have petitioned the
Governor to veto the bill.

President Johnson has made a speech, in which
he stated that the rebel leaders must be punished
and impoverished, and their local position destroyed.
Union men in the Confederacy should be remu-
nerated from the pockets of those who had brought
suffering upon the country. He advocated leniency
to the Southern masses, but was equally opposed to
dissolution and consolidation. He attributed the
assassination of Mr. Lincoln to the fiendish spirit of
the rebellion, and appointed the 25th of May to be
a day of mourning and humiliation on account of
Mr. Lincoln's death.

Mr. Stanton has announced that he has received
information that the murder of the President was
organised in Canada, and approved of in Richmond.
He says the assassin who attempted Mr. Seward's
life is now in prison, and is believed to be a St.
Albans raider. It is believed that Booth fell from
his horse and fractured his leg on the night of his
escape from Washington.

Telegraphic communication is open between San
Francisco and British Columbia.

The Bremen and City of Washington have ar-
rived out.

The Royal Mail steamer Europa, from Halifax and
Boston, arrived at Queenstown at 7.45 a.m. to-day.
She brings 121 passengers and $16,163 in specie.
She landed 140 sacks of mails and eight passengers,
and proceeded at 8 a.m. All well.
She experienced easterly weather.
