The records Of the great crime of assassinating
an individual in the highest position in the Gov
eminent, and in the hearts of the people, is
blackened by the further revelations that the
assassin's blow was aimed not only at one, but
all who officially constitute the Government,
and by it to paralyze action against Confederate
schemes and Confederate assassins, and enable
them at least to get away with their blood-crusted
treasure and forfeited lives. 1t was no act of
personal vengeance-no blow at an individual
heart-but stab at the Nation and wo wo T
to the guilty conspirators and their tools. This
last blow was wanted to nerve the loyal people
to the dealing out of exact justice. The blow
has been given the evidence of the intent of that
blow has become part of the history of the dy-
ing struggles of the most perfdious and unpro-
voked rebellion known to language and now let
instice-eyen-handed Justice follow.

A NATION AT TIE GRAvs.-Last Wednesday q
great people, who have for four years fought
with unvarying faith through the partial successes
and undoubted disasters of long war, rejoiced
with their whole hearts. The happy North in
its gladness fulfilled its resolve the National
soil and the North was lit up by countless bon
fires blazing forth with fiery tongues the glad
that the camp fires which had burned
steadily around the narrowing circles of rebel
lion had been pierced to the heart But to-day,
though all the facts which caused this joy are
abundantly confirmed, though recent ones show
that life is receding from the rebellion fast as
life can recede from the stricken body, and
though every token indicates returning unity,
tranquility and prosperity, the nation late so
jubilant stands in the presence of great sorrow
On Friday night Abraham Lincoln was murder
ed, and to-day his mortal remains are returned
to dust, No words are needed 10 tell the people

Never since the hour when the Savior Of Man.
kind was affixed to the accused tree on Mount
Calvary, has such gloom prevailed upon the
land as that which now enshrouds the American
Nation within its sombre folds. The pang of
anguish which snapped the cord Of our lamented
Presidents existence has penetrated even to the
heart of the American people, paralyzing for
time their energies, and shilling every emotion OF
the soul save that of an all powerful and an all
absorbing grief few may have mourned when
Caesar fell in the forum, but it a tyrant who
had died, and the masses, however much they
NAV have been dazzled by his genius and his
conquests, could not have but felt feeling of
relief when the despotic hand that enthraled
them lay powerless forever. When Alexander
succumbed to the inevitable law of nature, pity
was but mingled with the desire OF those who
owed their eminence to his bounty to share his
vast possessions among themselves. And again,
when the great Napoleon passed from earth,
suffering exile, shock given to the world,
that one so famed should die thus ANONYMOUSLY !;
but his name had been written in blood, and his
transcendent position in the annals of history
had been bought with the sufferings of his fellow
creatures But All how different is it with the
ilustrious victim whose bleeding form has so
lately been offered up holocaust upon the
altar of Freedom Abraham Lincoln, the six
teenth President of the United States of America,
has fallen Wle IN Ine merlQldn OF MS usefulness
by the hand of an execrable assassin The
blood of half million sacrifices to the insatiate
Moloch of rebellion could not suffice to appease
the incarnate thirst of the monster Another
and more ilustrious sacrifice was desired, and
the Chief Magistrate of the Republic was selected
as the victim. His life was laid down in a good
cause. His name is enshrined in the hearts of
his countrymen, while his virtues treasured in
their keeping, and graved in numbers indelible
upon the pages of history, will gather renewed
and additional lustre as the chariot wheels of
Time revolve. Yet amid the general gloom
that now envelopes our nation, springs out like
the torch of Hecate from the blackness of the
subterranean cases, the cry for vengeance. Ven
geance on the head of the regicide who commit
ted the awful deed, and vengeance to those who
aided and abetted him in the consummation of
his damnable purpose. Let the march of our
triumphant legions continue, and let the blood
of the guilty flow around the affairs of outraged
Liberty till vengeance be satisfied, and the
wounded honor of a grief-stricken nation be
appeased.

The nation is in mourning and the heart OF the
nation is heavy with the greatest sorrow that has
ever visited our country. The fact that Presi-
dent of the United States has been assasslnated,
would of itself be sufficient at any time to cast
gloom over the entire land but when 1t Is
known that one of " the noblest Romans OF them
all, the great and good ABRAHAM LINCOLN, the
pure and incorruptible patriot, the wise and
prudent statesman, who has safely guided the
Ship of State through four long years OF wal,
has been the. victim of a cowardly and heillsh
murderer, it is no wonder people weep with sor-
row for his loss, and tremble with indignation at
his murder He has fallen just as the bright
skies of peace were disclosing their roseate gran
duer-when he was sacrificing everything except
honor and principle to heal the breach between
the two sections and re-unite the people LIN
COLIN was toiling night and day to restore peace
and prosperity to the South, and now its allies
have murdered him !
The dead President needs no eulogy Lam
guage cannot express the grief OF weeping
nation. He was the representative man OF the
age, the chosen head of the American people,
identified with our name and hstory-almost
with our existence. His countrymen could re-
pose every confidence in his integrity and ability.
1t seemed as if some good Providence had given
us the exact man to lead US through the trial OF
internal war, and all hoped and expected that
he would be spared to rule over peaceful and
purified nation But the ways of God are mys-
terous and inscrutable. Our chief has fallen,
and the heart of the country bleeds in agony.

The melancholy tidings soon spread among
our citizens, whose breasts heaved in deep and
irrepressible emotion; one would look at the
other in deep and heartfelt anguish, and fearful
eyes and inquiring look-unable to realize the
truth-unable to believe that the awful crime
could be commtted-a crime which sleeps the
very heart of the nation in blood, in sorrow and
in anguish.
The flags of our town, which so lately waved
and futtered in the breeze, in joyful honor Of
peace to cur country, were raised in sorrow to
half-mast our church bells tolled the solemn
knell of the hour /; our local gun, on Fort Home

the national calamity, and as we write, the hearts
of our loyal little community are swelling with
emotion, and our people feel the agonizing pangs
of a sorrow so deep that our eyes are blinded
with tears as we are endeavoring to express what
we have seen and felt this morning.
Our nation is in mourning. May the God Of

Language is incapable of expressing the in

dent. Men have been murdered before, the
assassin's arm has struck down in other times
the rulers of other nations, but never in the his
tory of the world has a life SO pure, so NOBLE so
great fallen beneath the murderers hand. At
the very moment when all were contemplating
the speedy return of peace, and were joyful in
the thought that the scenes of the bloody strife,
in which the nation had been for four years
gagged, were about closed-when the great heart
of the President was warming in forgiving kind
ness toward the citizens in the rebellion, and
was anxious to fold them again under the ma

heart of the rebellion was prepared to accom-
plish its horrible purpose. O, God, could not

how the people mourn continent dropped in
sombre black tells it far more eloquently.
But although our grief is too fresh and deep
to be vexed with commonplace consolation, let
us not turn away from the grave where good
mans remains are laid without renewed resolves
of improvement. We blunt the edge of the keen
sorrow by saying that although the man is dead
the cause still lives. And when the first shock
is past, when an unvaryng stream of good news,
this once so terribly interrupted, shall again
clothe the land in brighter colors, and once more
send the dropping flag to the MASTHEAD, let us
assure ourselves that this is true and that the
cause does indeed still live. For the time is close
upon us when it must be proved. Before the
last rebel shall have had time to surrender, the
question of reconstruction and others of almost
equal Importance will come up for settlement
As far as man can judge, the nerve, the modera-
ton, and the self-reliance of Lincoln are the
very qualities which could least afford to lose
at this time But as he is gone, let us learn what
the cause is and then support it, fondy hoping
that the spirit of the great and good departed
may watch over and aid US in council and IN
field.

WoULD-BE AssAssISs.-The Sacramento Bee
of a recent date, says: q Most of our readers
are aware that several months since an advertise
ment appeared in Southern paper, offering
reward for the assassination of Lincoln and Sew
ard, giving an address at which parties who de-
sired to attempt the deed could apply. They are
not aware, probably, of the number of would-be
assassins in our midst After the appearance in
the State of the advertisement alluded to, four
letters directed to the address mentioned in the
advertisement passed through the Sacramento
Post-Offce. They were, of course, bundled up
and forwarded to the proper authorizes at Wash
ington. From this it appears that there in
this State very many who aspired to the assas-
sins honor and wished to earn the assassin's

WeaverviIle, Saturday, April 20, 1865

Is 1T STRANGE When the announcement was
made in San Francisco that the President had
been assassinated, a mob Quilted the offices of
the Democratic Press, Monitor, Occidental, Ne~s
Letter and Echo du Pdcifgue, all treason-sympa-
thizng sheets. We concur with the Sacramen-
to Bee in the following remarks relative to the
wholesale destruction
Those papers have constantly, both coyertly
and openly, sided with the rebels and denounced
both Lincoln and Seward the most monstrous
of tyrants Who shall say that their denuncia-
tons and arguments-fase and specious as they
were-have not bred and encouraged the foul
spirit of assassination in more than one heart
In another part of this paper are facts and reve-
lations which go to show that there are or were
men in this State, who were anxious to do the
assassin's work. Who shall say that they were
not educated and encouraged in that direction
by the TRADES and falsehoods, which they zeal
ously and industriously read in such papers as
the Democratic Press, NarysoWe Express, Nom
tor, Amador Dispatch Pacific Echo, Zach. Mont
gomery's Occidental, and others Effect follows
cause as certain as day follows night, and what
is more natural than that the spirit and desire for
assassinating the President should follow be-
lief in the doctrine that it is right to STAY tyrants
and the persisting utterings of treasonable
press that Lincoln and Seward were the most
odious and horrible of tyrants ? In a limited de-
gree, then, at least the destroyed papers, as well
as all others who promulgated the same false
hoods and those who have preached them. are
accomplices in the foul deed which destroyed
the life of the head of the nation Under all the
circumstances, we cannot say that the people OF
San Francisco acted wrong.
PRETTY GOOD Some British snob who has
been for several months contributing series of
lying and most disgusting articles to Blackwood,

stupid John Bull. He says, putting the rebels
In South Carolina negroes are as well protected
by the laws as white men, and in some cases bet
ter. In criminal cases, for instance, a negro is
tried before court of three judges, the jury
being composed of five white men. who must
themselves be owners of negroes, and he can
only be convicted by unanimous verdict of this
jury with which one of the judges at least must
agree
Imagine poor negro hauled up before this
court of three judges and fre jurors, all slave
holders, charge of melting instruction,
how thankful ought not poor Sambo to feel that
the laws of this model State have kindly pro-
vided him such respectable parties Court,
all alike interested in hanging him to save their
own property from depreciation.
