SOUTHERN PoRrs CLosED.-Two ilnpcrtan

SOUTHERN PoRrs CLosED.-Two important
|proclamations issued from the state Depart
ment at Washington, on the 18th one closing
nearly all the southern ports in our possession
according to the law of 1861 and, the other
claiming that our vessels of war in foreign
ports shall no longer be subject to restrictions
as at present, but shall have the same right
and hospitalities which are extended to for
sseign men-of-war in ports of the United States
and declaring that hereafter the cruisers of
every nation will receive the treatment which.
in their ports, they accord to ours.
1t is expected the closing of the
Southern ports will influence England to
revoke her recognition OF the beligerent RICH,
of the rebels. She predicnted the justice OF
her recognition at the start upon our procla-
nation Of blockade, asserting that We had
thereby recognized them rs belligerppts, Blu:
she has no longer any such excuse, for the
fSouthern ports are in our possession and
sclosed. The right of nation to blockade
| its own ports is questionable but any
nstioa hes right TO close lite own ports

1t see MS proved beyoEd Tie possibility OF
3doubt, that the assassin of President Lincoln
] is John Wilkes Booth. the actor. He is the
youngest or three sons Of Jas. Brutus Booth
] tbe celebrated trageiia.l, who died SINE years
! ago. He was still qnite young-we believe
under 80 years Of age, though he had already
4 achieved high reputation rs an actor. HIS
j home was Baltimore, though he has lived in
! Richmond, St. Louis. Washington, Chicago.
and other places. When in Chicago two years
ago he was understood to be a decided Union
man. or, as that phrase is now understood
Z -abolitionist. In St. Louis he was soon
sservative'-but opposed to secession. I'M
Baltimore he was suspected of rebel proclivi-
ties. 1t seems impossible, however, to con-
ceive any motive at all adequate for the great
crime he has committed. The only one we
have seen suggested is, that be was an own
cousin to Capt. Beall, who was recently exc
Scuted on Governors Island as a spy, and that
kBoo.h might have done the deed to avenge
EBeall's death.
ii Booth was not without accomplices. The
man, supposed to be Surratt, or. as others
4say, Atzeral, who committed the attempt on
SGov. Seward, is one named by Secretary Stan
y ton as an accomplice of Booths and the
: same authority named David c. Harold as an
: other The plot seems to have resn laid be-
fore the Inauguration, but it's execution, for
some cause vas deferred. 1t involved not
Eonly the assassination of President Lincoln,
fbut also the Vice President and heads Of Dc.
apartments.
Secretary Stanton offers reward of $780,.
1000 reward for the arrest of these conspira-
= tors; $4,000 for Booth, and $4,000 for
each OF the other two.
The dispatches Yesterday give accounts of
Is the arrest both Of Booth and Atzeral, but
they are hardly reliable. Booth is reported
to have been arrested on Wednesday, at
Tamaqua, on the Reading railroad !; but when
( the person who said he knew him was called
;4upon to identify him, he was unable to swear
: 10 the iaertity. Atzeral was arrested in Bal
timore, and the proof Of his identify seems
:amore clear.

The Sincere Nloarner,.

1t would be painful, in connection with
1.-THE fearful crime which now clothes the ma
1 ton in mourning, 10 make even an alluscn
ito party rancor. Yet it forces itself upon
ones observation, that the sincerest mourners
lof these Northern States are those who but
lately stood in the attitude Of political oppo-
|sition to the late President. They had seen,
in the last few days of hi, life, indications
that inspired them with hope and confidence,
while, unhappily, they havs no encourage
ment for like hopes from his successor Mr..
johnson is confessedly more or less swayed
|by what are denominated radical influences
The organs Of this party, or faction, SO far
from deploring the death of Mr.. Lincoln,
even already find it impossible to repress
their exulta,ion. The feeling shows itsel:
clearly in the columns Of, the Chicago Tribune
In the estimation Of that pio=s sheet, Lincoln
was the Moses ofthis people-he conducted
/ them safely through the wilderness of civil
var, but he had sinned-he proposed lenien
Fey to conquered rebels, therefore the Lord
4 cut him off and would not let him enter the
promised land OF peace Andrew johnson IS
our Joshua, who is to utterly e1terminate the
sCannanites of the South
Far be it from us to attempt to interpret
| the ways Of Providence, but if we have any
conception of the magnitude of the crime in
volved in the term blasphemy, our honest
Eopinion is, that its fullness is reached when
we are told God has punished this nation be-
cause its head purposed to bring peace by
acts of love and mercy instead of viniictive-
I mess and wrath
