Letter from Secretary Stanton.


The Cork Herald contains an officlal telegram
from Secretary Stanton to the United States
Legation at London, detailing the incidents OF
the assassination, and adding:
..rhe murderer of the President has been
discovered and evidence obtained that these
horrible crimes were commlttedln execution OF
!, conspiracy deliberately planned and set on
fact bv rebels, under pretence Of ayenging the
Sonth and aiding the rebel cause; but it is
eyne,ted that the immediate perpetrators
viii be caught. The feeling occasioned ty these
atrocious crimes is so great, sudden. and over
whelming, that [ cannot at present do more.
than communicate them to you. Attic earliest
moment Yesterday the President called a Cabl-
net meeting, at which General Grant was
present He was more cheerful and happy
than had ever seen him He rejolced at the
near prospect Of firm and durable peace at
home and abroad, which manifested IN mar
ked degree the soundness and honesty OF ms
disposition, and the tender and torglvlng spirit
that SO eminently dstlnsu lohed HIM futile
advice had been given that he and General
Grant would be at the theatre, and the oppnr-
unity Of adding the Lieutenant General to the
number of victims tC be murdered was no DOUBT
seized for the fitting occasion OF executing the
nlans which appear to have been In preparation
far some wee Ks but General Grant Was COM
PEELED to be absent, and thus escaped the.
designs npon him.
s'It is needless for me to say anything IN
regard to the influences which this atrosous
murder of the President may exercise upon
The affairs of the country. But will only add
that, though horrible and atroc;ous as are tho
plans thathave been resolved on by the enemies
Of 9th the GO country, they are not likely, in any
degree, to impair the public spirit, or postpone
the complete and final overthrow OF the re-
bellion. -, ;.
ssIn profound grief for the events which it
has become my duty to communicate to you,
have the honor to be, very respectfully, your
obedient servant, EDWIN M. STANTON.

Ice IN THE RIvER.-The steamer Idaho, for
the Cascades, was compelled to abandon the
downward trip yesterday on account of run
ming ice in the Columbia. Unless there is a
very great change in the temperature of the
eastern side of the Columbia Basin, the river
will close at once. The ice which blocks up
the river is generally formed in the section
between Priests Rapids and the Little
Dalles, near Colville, and it is the state
of the weather in that direction which will
determine how much longer the river is tt
