J WASHINGTON, April I5th-4:lO Mt is now

I appears from a letter found in Booths trunk, that

1 and his accompllce were at q livery stable at six
& o'clock last evening, and left there with horses about
: ten o'clock, or shortly before that hour. 1t would

D made his way TO Baltimore. The other has not yet

] At the Cabinet meeting yesterday, which lasted
] over two hours, the future policy of the Government
] towards Virginia was discussed. the best feeling pre-
vailing, 1t is stated that it was determined TO adopt
/ a very liberal policy, as recommended by the Presi-
! dent. 1t is said that this meeting was the most har-
/ mOnious held for two years. the President exhibiting
s throughout that maguanimity and kindness of heart
4 which has ever characterized his treatment of the
5 rebelliOus States, which have been so lily requited
) On their part. One of the members of the Cabinet
! remarked to a friend that he met at the door, that
\ the Government was to-day stronger than it had been
I for three years past.
i WAsHINGToN, April 15.-To-day no one is allowed
I to leave the city by rail conveyance or on foot. and
! the issuing of passes from the headquarters Of the
l Department Q: Washington has been suspended by
: General Augur.
J New YORK, April 15.-The dispatches which have
i been received from all parts of the country are e1.
! pressive Of the grief of the people at the nations
! calamity.
4 New York, April 15.-The Herald, this morning,
! makes no editorial comments on the assassination OF
! the President.
q The Times makes no comment.
3 The Tribune says Sudden death always is over
: whelming. The assassination of the humblest of
8 men is always frightfully startling but when the
1 head of thirty millions of people is hurried into eter-
) nifty by the hand OF n murderer-that head a man so
! good, so wise, and so noble as Abraham Lincoln, the
\ Chief Magistrate of the Nation-in the condition of
Z affairs at this moment, the sorrow and shock are too
! great for many words, For once, all party rancor
) will be forgotten, as no right-thinking man can hear
) of Mr.. Lincoln's death without accepting 1t Us a Ma
s tioual calamity
! The H'orld says that " yesterday the country was
4 in the height of joyful exultation over the decisive
! efforts which seemed to promise peace and q restored
4 Union to the people. To-day, every loyal heart must
I suffer a terrible shock. and swell with grief at the
s calamity which has been permitted to befall US. BY
! the assassination Of the Chief Magistrate the splen-
] dor of our triumphs is robbed Of half its lustre. 1t
q is a deeper loss than if our FIRST soldier had fallen by
! q hostile bullet, as did the gallant Sedgwick; a greater
s loss than if an army had persisted in the shock of
8 battle.
: 1.-The cry of the murderer as he leaped from the
Z Presidents box and ran across the stage betrays no
5 madness or frenzy; all circumstances show that the
! same political fury and hate which lit the flames of
Z the great rebellion, inspired these hellsh deeds. By
s so much as these detract from the eplendor Of our
y triumph in it's utter snbjugation. by SO much do they
s brand with deeper and more damning infamy the
3 plotters, its leaders, and its sympathizers."
& CHICAGO, April l6.-Dispatches from every por-
4 ton of the North show the most bitter feeling against
4 Secession sympathizers. There has been no serious
q outbreak, but individual instances are mentioned
I where persons expressing Secession sentiments have
s been summarily dealt with. A sympatbizer at Wash
q ington was shot dead by q soldier, for rejoicing over
3 the death of Mr.. Lincoln. and the soldier was not
S arrested. George Welles was arrested and sent to the
d PeDitentiary in New York city, for a similar offence;
: another man, q Wall street gold broker, gave vent to
3 Secession sentiments, and preparations were immedi-
Z ately made by the crowd to hang him 10 n lamp post,
I but he was rescued by the police. Three rebel pri-
& soners were hung, at indianapolis, for expressing
q their qualification Mt the success OF the assassins..
) The universal feeling seems to be to mete out the
q sternest justice to all sympathizers with the rebellion
8 HALIFAX, April 15th.-The Governor had appoint

) April 15-.Ny Dear Sir The very shocking in
s telligence just received by me of the murder of Pres
