~~N@@@
The time has not only brought mighty
grief, but stern and pressing duties also. One
Of, these surely is the detection and punish
ment Of all in any way concerned in the dia-
bolical crime. On Thursday morning, the 9th
inst.f the long.delayed capture and subsequent
death of the foremost villain, and the arrest
at the same time Of his accomplce, Harold,
were announced, and need hardly say, hailed
with great satisfaction. One great step has
thus been taken to purge the land Of the stain
Of innocent blood. The body of Booth lay
most of the day at the Navy Yard, but was
removed toward evening. Sergt. Corbett has
been much lionized. He was yesterday offer
cd thousand dollars for the pistol with which
heshot Booth, with the ave 1nexploded charge
es in it. Harold Is silent and refuses to give
any information. The would-be murderer OF
Mr.. Seward, and one of Booths chief accom-
plices. Atzerot, are believed to be in a sure way
to receive their deserts. Surratt, prime
scoundrel, though frequently reported captur-
ed and once thought to have been recognized
on his way to the Old Capitol, is probably the
most important member of the murderous
gang still at large. ,s4,sa ,,o ,9a
After good deal OF inconclusive -specula.
ton as to the real parentage of the great
crime, we have an authoritative statement
from the Secretary of War. " This Depart

be that evidence we donot know, and can of
course not pass upon it. What we do know |

An objectionable Slaughter.

Bad enough are the ravages of war. The car
mage OF the battlefield, with its maDgled slain
and mangled living who pray in vain for the
restof death, isterrible enough. ons would
think, to placate the most wrathful Of the gods
of blood. But worse than this is the rebel
prisons, where brave men in their incarcsra-.
ton step one inch beyond definite line on
pain Of instant death, and are systematically
starved into dwelling idiocy while plenty is
seen all around them. On such pictures have
we gazed till we have become accustomed
70 the sight, but we had just begun to thalk
Heaven that such terrible scenes were past
forever. 10 ~AAE 20 80
But what shall we say when mep.-weak.
emaciated and sick, delivered from sucb .liv-
ing hslls,-are crowded by thousands upon an
oio crazy hulk of steamers and then blown
INTO eternity-all the result of The erossest
ana most objectionable disregard Of human
SAFETY! The tale of the Snltana near Mem-
pms, auo OF the horrible slaughter of l4oo
victims, causes the whole heart IN s;e,,an ana
head to become faint. More thar ~, thou.-
and persons were crowded upon single boat
and she is such condition that repairs were
required at Memphis before she could n,,,a',e
her voyage. There Is no excuse for such rack
lessness. Men who peril their lives on battla-
fields, leaving home and all its comforts, and
riskipg capture and rebel prison, are entitled
to more care than is evinced in crowding them
by thousands. upon an unsafe vessel
1t is hoped this affair may be pfobed to the
bottom, and when the guilty parties are found,
there whose cupidity or carelessness provi-
cd such boat for such purpose, or whose
unhtness for their places allowed her to blow
up'-that they may be made examples of as
the least guarantee that can be afforded that
suck reclxlessness is not to be repeated.

WASHINGTON, April %, 1855

To the Editor Of the Press ia saat sisaaI aea SIN
The great calamity has begun to recede
f'om us, and to become merged in the past
Slowly do we gather our scattered thoughts
about us, and sadly do we gather up ence
more the broken threads of our daily lives
Tie terrible alarm, the fearful suspense, the
awful certainty, the overwhelming grief; the
funeral knel,. and dirges, and minute guns
and draped banners, and mufied drums, the
pale, calm face lying SO plaeidly in its last
dreamless sleep-all these things even now
seem at times more like the phantoms of a
troubled dream, or Of mournful reverie, than
stern realities.

not been 'igooi," nor because they less intor-
ss.!ag less worthy or los, lovabls than others but
simply because their Santa Claus has not the
means wherswith to buy them presents. Thousands
Of i'-.ll.es, too. will have no " Chr sunAs dinner
