HOW PRESIDENT JOHNSON ESCAPED AssAss1NA-
New York, April 20-The Herald's Wash
ington dispatch says it was Ex-Governor Far
we'll, of Wisconsin, who notified Mr.. johnson
of the murder Of Mr.. Lincoln. Mr.. johnson
had retired for the night when notified, and
prompt measures were taken for his protection.
But for this presence Of mind on the part OF
Governor Farwell, in all probability Mr.. John
son would also have been murdered in the ex-
citement produced by knowledge Of the mur-
der of Mr.. Lincoln. As it was, an unusual
stir was heard in the room of the unknown
man, where pistol and dirk were found.

New York, April 26.-Advices from New
bern of the 22d are received. Tie city was
draped in mourning
A meeting was held that day to give. ex-
preston to the public sorrow for the death OF
President Lincoln.
The Raleigh Standard and Progress, pa

Lincoln was the best President the south had,
and that the south suffers more in his death
than the north
The ratification of the constitutional
amendment abolishing slavery is regarded as
certain. '...
The desire TO return to the Union appears
general throughout the State.
The Raleigh Standard of the 18th says:
"The revolution has failed Mr.. Lincoln
has made good his declaration that he would
hold, occupy and possess the forts and Other
property Of the United States, and that he
would enforce the laws of the nation. The
most ultra Secessionist must now see that fur
ther resistance would be folly, madness ant
murder"
1t calls for reorganization and declares
that the Governor and Legislature, elected b,
force and fraud, do not reflect the wishes o.
the will of the people Patronage and th'
bayonet have controlled everything. We are
authorized by Gen Sherman to state that i
Gov, Vance and the Legislature will return
they will be protected; if they do not, the.
must not complain if steps are taken to su
persede them.
The next day this paper said: Davis ha
fed; Vance has fed; Smith has fed. Scces

Thank God for it. The period so long locke

State has at last arrived. Let those VIII
have unidentified themselves with the Davl
