speeches and Addresses.

The custom which has suddenly sprung
up of calling upon the President for the
purpose Of extending congratulations, and
assuring him of the determination of the
loyal peoplet to support him, though doubt
les well-meant, is getting to be a bore Of
colossal proportions. The informal char
acEer of the Inauguration, and the desire
for an entire understanding between the
nation and the President probably gave
rise to the custom. The object is accom-
plished. The President has delivered q
score of inaugurals in reply to addresses
from different delegations. He has now
more important business on his hands. He
can afford to go about it, knowing well
that the people have full confidence in
him. The people, on the other hand,
should leave him free TO perform his duties,
well knowing that he will do them rightly.
Let us hsve no more of this speech making.
Let the delegations" still lying in wait
for the President, get their addresses print
ed and 90 home. The Presidents time and
strength are precious. We hope they may
not be further frittered away in hearing
snd making speeches.

In s despatch dated Mobile, 5 P. NJ,
April 14th, General Candy reports We
find in Mobile and its defences on the west
side over $50 guns and avery large amount
of ammunition and supplies of all kinds,
and about one thousand prisoners. Inven-
tories are now being taken. A detailed

are complete. The quantity of cotton
probably reach 5000 bales, and there is
large amount of provisions and forage.
Gen Hancock reports that nearly all Of
Mosebyis command have surrendered, in
Guiding nearly or quite all of the officers
except Moseby himself Some of Moseby's
own men are hunting after him for re-
ward of 81, coo offered for his capture, by
General Hancock, who has been directed
to establish his headquarters at Washing
ton. The counties Of Prince George, st.
Marys and Charles, have during the war,
been noted for hostility to the government.
and protection to rebel blockade runners,
rebel spies, and every species of public
enemy. The murderers of the President
we're hsFbored there before the murder, and
Booth fea in that direction. Ifhe escapes
II will be owing to rebel sccomplices in
that region. The military commander Of
that district will surely take measures tc
bring these rebel sympathizsrs and &C

The Possible Escape OF JeH. Davis,

AHo EOs9tDAS Escape u Sohs OoNAAs
When Stonemsn took Salisbury he was
exactly where he was wanted. Here he
could stop Johnston's retreat should that
general attempt to escape. Here, too, he
was in possession of immense stores and at
q central railway point. Best Of all, he
was at q position where ne could almost
surely cut of JEFF. Davis fight, if that
worthy happened to be north of Dsnville.
But Sherman has, it seems, insured JEFF.
Davis safety by ordering StOnsman to
withdraw from Salisbury and join bis COM
mand. IF JEFF. have not already got off
into Georgia the gate is now left open for
him to do so. He will probably escape to
France, where feted by secession lists, be
will live luxuriously on the wealth he has
plundersd from the southern people.

ABOUT BOOTH.

NEW YORK, April %.
Circumstances which have come to the
knowledge of the Government render it
nesrly certain that Booths horse fell with
him on Friday night, the l4th inst, and
it is believed caused fracture of one of
his legs. 1t is also reported that he has
divested himself of his moustache. The
likeness of Booth published in HGrpeTs $
Weekly is said to be correct. The Gtten-
tion of Surgeons and the public is called
to these circumstances. If Booth is lying
concealed and wounded, therewsrd offered,
and the delegation of his crime by all
loyal citizens, will soon bring him to
light.
The above is semi-oficisl.

Booth is supposed, by the officials best
informed in the mntter, to have had his
leg broken by fAn from his horse on the
night Of the murder. He is thought TO be
still in Washington, concealed by some
secessionist there. Should this prove true
his fate ia sealed. Every avenue of escape
is gurded with unrelaxed vigilance, and
shonId it be necessary every house, every
nook and corner of the city of Washington
will be searched TO unearth the assassin.
