THE ARRANGEMENT OF TIE rAKrr.

President Lincoln took one of the arm chairs
and seated himself in the front of the box in the
angle nearest the audience, where, partially
screened from observation, he had the best view OF
what was trlns2iring on the stage Mrs. Lincoln
sat next him, and Miss Harris in tho opposite an
gle, nearest the stage. Major Rathbcne sat Just
behind Mrs. Lincoln and Mis-. Harris. These four
were the only persons in the box.

The Assassination-A Graphic De-
scription of the Tragedy-The Fa-
tai Shot, and Escape Of the Mur

We have already given quite lengthy account
of the murder Of President Lincoln; but as the
public read eyery particular with avilty, we pre-
sent the following very circumstantal and graphic
narraiiv c from one OF the New York papers:
Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1865-04-27

The movements Of the assassin were from hence
forth quick as the lightning. Springing into the
o9x through the door Of which he had just retreat
ed, he dropped his pistol On the floor, and. drawino
a bowie-knife, struck Major Rathbone. who opposed
him, ripping through his coat from the shoulder
down, and intlictng a severe flesh wound in his
arm He leaped then upon the veIvet-colorcd
balustrade at the front Of the box between Mrs.
Lincoln and Miss Harris, and. parting with both
hands the flags that dropped on either side,
dropped to the stage beneath. Arising and turn
ing full upon the audience, with the knife in his
right hand above his head, he shouted, "Sic seupcr
fwonnis- s-virginia is avengedl' Another instant
and he had fed across the stage and behind the

Ford's, including Mrs. Lincoln, seemed to enjoy il

The Charlotte IN. O) Democrat pub
fishes letter from General Johnston, Civ
ing his reasons for surrendering. Hs says:
On the 26th of April, the day of the con-
ventiOn, by returns Of thirty Lieutenant
Generals, the Army Of the Tennessee
numbered, in infantry and artillery, pre-
sent and absent 1850; total present
1888; effective total or fighting force
IA, I79. On the TIN Of April, the date Of
the last return, find the effscive total
of cavalry was 5,44O, but between the 7th
and 26sh Of April 1t was greatly reduced.
In South Carolina We had Young's Divi-
sion Of Cavalry, less than 1000, besides
the reserved State troops, altogether much
inferior to the Federal fore in that State.
In Florida we we're as weak In Georgia
our force had been captured. At Macon,
General Tsylor's Department, there were
no means OF opposing the formidable army
under Candy, which had taken Mobile, nor
the cavalry under Wilson, which had cap
tured every other place Of importance
west of Augusts- To carry on war, there
fore, We had to depend upon the Army Of
the Tennessee alone The United States
could have brought sgsinst 1t twelve OF
fifteen times its number in the armies of
Generals Grant sherman and Candy.
With such odds against "a, without the
means Of procuring ammunition or re-
pairing Rrms, without money or credit to
provide food 1t Was impossible to continue
war, except as robbers 4 he consequences
of proloDging the struggle would only
have been the destruction or dispersion Of
our bravest men, and great suffering
among the women and children by the
desolAuon aud ruin inevitable from the

Two other witnesses testified as to the
particulars of the very shocking treat
ment Of sick and wounded Union prison
ers, both in the hospital snd st Libby pris
on. They we're told by Major Turner, the
keeper of L bby prison that the treatment
was good enough for Yankees. Out of forty
men brought in, eight or twelve died
the first night. The emscistiJn of the
prisoners was owing 70 the bad character

that the bad treatment was in the way Of

prisoners had been treated worse than
Union prisoners. t
