1t Is now the general Impression that tho mur

Our dispatch Is to night contain full and H.
tcrcstirG details Of tic great patirnal calam-
1ty, q nd the last sad news Of the Iamcuted
President. 1t is still uncertain whether tho
ssasa'ns have been captured. Mr. Stewards
condition Is more comfortable, and the sur
:geons fpeak tavorably Of his recovery. 1t is
now certain that the assassins also contcm-
plated the murder Of President johnson, but
dailed in their plan.
Mobile has at last buccumbcd to the Union
forces. and WIS captured On the 9Th, with.
Spanish: Fort and Blakcly. In the latter
positions about e,ooo priconcrs were taken
Three. hundred pieces Of artillery were
captured and three gun1,oats.
The President has not yet issued any pro-
c}amaaion setting forth his policy, but 1t is
understood he Is in favor OF visiting condisn
punishment upon the leaders Of the rebel
lion.
4 rcprt comes from Fortress Monroe that
Johnston's army hns surrendered to Sher-
man, hut 1t is not authenticated.
Hon. Richard Golden, one OF our drmest
friends in England, is dead The loyal mrn
of the United States will long cherish his
memory. In this dark hour Of grief, his
death will he none the less kecnly felt.
The escape Of the paricidc, Booth, and his
confedcrates can only be for few days or
hours. Millions Of eyes are In vigilnnt search
of them, and soon they will be in the hands
of Justice. Secretary Stanton tclegraphs that
it is thought the assassins "arc making for
Canada. Even If thew managed to clude
pursuit and crossed the line, Canada would
furnish them no refuce. The St. AIbans fa rec
cannot be repeated for the protection Of
tho murderer. Let them escape into Canada
snd tbey Will be followed t1,ither in hot pur-
eu!t. and woe to him who attempts to screen
Them. M rlnce on this SIDE Of perdition

The city is consumed With excitement. The all

this morning, IN great measure, to desperate
resolves to visit In nttive measure to all rebel
participants, the utmost rctribntivS<engcance.
The slightest expression Of seceBston sentiments
are sure to be wiped out In blood. A few mo.

The President was dead. The soldier replied that
ttwas. Whereupon the citizen replied, II am
damr ed glad of it, lie had scarcely concluded
his uttcrance when the guard put ball through
h1B head, and he lies nbw corpse, exc
Grated by all. The incident hlF1y illustrates
he Intensity Of popular feelmg The reported
