with underground apartments. mana.
cles and apparatus for private impris-
onment. Here the President and as
many as could be gagged and con-

the event Of failure to run them into
the Confederacy. Owing to his fail

as he desired, Booth abandoned the
project Of kidnapping. The house

ty-six years of age, and Sergeant in
Company l. Of the 18th New York
cavalry. He went out at the com
mencement of the war as a private OF
the New York State militia, Col But
terfeld, and has been in the service
ever since. About eight months ago
he was captured by the rebel guerilla
Mosby while out on a scouting expedi.
ton, all of his party having been XIII
ed or escaped. He held the entire reb-
ell gang, about twenty-six in number,
at bay for some time, and only surren-
dered when his ammunition was ex-
hausted. For his bravery in this af-
fair he was promoted to be Sergeant,
but only returned to the Union lines to
assume the title after a five months
Imprisonment at Andersonville. While
there he frequently held prayer meet
ings, and exhorted his dying compan-
ions, being an active and sincere
member of the Attorney street Pro-
testant Church of New York city. He
only lately rejoined his regiment, and
had scarcely recovered from chron-
ic diarrhea and scurvy contracted at
the South, when he was appointed one
of twenty-eight tried men to perform
the duty he so successfully accom-
plished. His face is intelligent, and
bears the impress of a heightened
Christian patriotism.

and we learned that in all probability
Johnston was about to surrender.
Thank God, this he has done-and,
not only SO, but we have the pleasure
of congratulating our friends on the
glorious in intelligence that the South
ern Confederacy no longer makes any
claims as a nation, but everywhere,
from Maine to the Gulf, and from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, floats the En-

We do not wish to Danish even
those who have for four long years
tried to trample it in the dust, from
the protection of it's thrice sacred
folds and they are as willing to come
as ever the "prodigal son" was to
share the luxuries of fathers table.
l say let them come and share the
blessings which will be none the less
by being shared with the needy; and
who need the blessings of liberty
more than those poor people who have
been duped by the most VIGOROUSLY
wicked and worst designing men that
ever lived?
OF course we expect them to come
in their true color, with repentance in
their heart and on their very counte.
nance, and consequently look for few
of that class once known as Northern
copperheads to come for we have but
little faith in them, and will always be
compelled to watch them as wolves in
sleeps clothing. We don't expect
such persons will be impudent enough
to ask anything of a government which
they tried every means in their power
to overthrow while it was struggling
to maintain the right, and at the same
time secure them every blessing of a
civilized and enlightened government
The clouds of war have at last
cleared away, and the glorious, mel
low sunlight of peace once more dawns
upon our blood-stained land, sending
thrill of joy to every true American
heart. Our rejoicing would indeed be
perfect, but for the sad, sad intelligence
of the death of our ever honored and
noble President. Even the rebels. as
a mass, wish it could have been other
wise. Indeed, it does seem too bad
that, just now, when we have passed
through the most trying ordeal that
a nation is ever called to pass through
we should lose a man we so much
need. History abounds with the
names of heroes, but what name bu,
Lincoln's combines the characters Of
both hero and philanthropist?
