We condense from the New York papers,
snd especially from the New York World,
an account of the chase and killing of the
assassin ]. Wilkes Booth:
THE START.
When the murder occurred, Colonel
Baker was absent from Washington. He
returned on the third morning, and was at
once brought by Secretary Stanton to jJin
the hue and cry sgsinst the escaped Booth
The ssgscious detective found that nearly
ten thousand cavalry, and one-fourth as
many policemen had been meantime scour-
ing, without plan or compass, the whole
territory of Southern Maryland. They
we're tresding on each others heels, and
mixing up the thing so confoundedly that
the best plsee for the culprits TO have gone
would have been in the very midst ef their
pursuers. Baker at once possessed himself
of the little the War Department had lesrL-
ed, and started Immediately to take the
usual detective measures, till then neglect
ed, of offering reward and getting out
photographs of the suspected ones. He then
dispatched few chosen detectives to GER
tain vital points, and awaited the results.
The first cine obtained was from negro
who testified to having seen Booth and an
other man cross the Potomac in q fishing
boat. Colonel Baker Immediately made
requisltion on General Hancock for twenty
five men. He judged from the Typography
of the country that the line of the muir
derers fight would probably be through or
near Port Royal
FOLLOWING UP TIE sCENT,
When, therefore, twenty-five men, under
one Lieutenant Dougherty, arrived at his
office door, Baker placed the whole under
command of his former heutenent-eolonel,
E. ]. Conger, and his cousin IL. B. Baker
the first Of Ohio, the last Of New York
and bade them go with all dispatch to
Belle Plain, on the Lower PotOmsc, there
to disembark and scour the country faith
fully around Port Royal, but not to return
unless they captured their men.
CoNGER.
Conger is q short, decided, indomitsble
courageous fellow, provincial in his mar
ners, but fully understands his business,
and collected SIS housewife on Sunday.
BAKER.
Young Baker is large and fine looking
a soldier, but no policemen-snd he de.
ferred TO Conger, very properly, during
most Of the events succeeding.
On Monday at P. NJ =, the detectives
and cavalry men landed st Belle Plain
Belle Plain is seventy miles from
Washington city and fifteen miles due
norkh from the plaza where the murderer
was captured. They Immediately rode out
into the darkness. CoDger and Baker kept
ahead, riding up to farm.houses and ques-
tioning the inmates, pretending to be in
search of q Mary land gentlemen belonging
to the party. But nobody had seen the
parties described, and, after futile ride on
the Fredericksburg road, they turned
shortly to the east, AM kept up their
bafled inquiries ali the way to Port Con-
way on the Rsppahsnnock.

THE BARN.

Dimly seen behind, an old barn, high
and weather beaten, faced the roadside
gate, for the house itself lay to the left of
its own lane; and nesting beneath the
barn, few long corn-cribs lay with cat
tie shed at hand. There was not swell
of the landscape anywhere in sight. A
plain dead level contained all the tsne-
ments and structures. A worm fence
stretched along the road, broken by two
battered gate posts, and, between the road
and the house, the lane was crossed by &
second fence and gate. The farmhouse
lane, passing the house front, kept straight
on to the barn, though a second carriage
track ran up TO the porch.

TIE HousE SURROUNDED.

In the dead stiffness, Baker dismounted
and forced the outer gate; Conger kept
close behind him, and the horsemen follow
ed cautiously. They made no noise in the
soft clay, nor broke the sll-foreboding ST.
lenee anywhere, till the second gate swung
open gratingly, yet even then nor hoarse
nor shrill response came back, save distant
crosking, as of frogs or owl, or the whizz
of some passing night hawk so they sur
rounded the pleasant old homestead, each
horsemsn, csrbine in pOise, adjusted under
the grove of locusts, SO as 10 inelose the
dwelling with a circle of fire. After a
pause, Baker rode 70 the kitchen door on
the SIDE and dismounting, raped and hal
loed Justify. An old man, in drawers and
night-shirt, hastily undrew the bolts, and
stood on the threshold, peering shiveringly
into the darkness.
The Cleveland leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1865-1865, 1865-05-01

Baker seized him by the throat at once.
and held pistol to his ear. "Who-Who
is it that calls me2" cried the old man.
"Where are the men who stay with YOU ~
challenged Baker. "If you prevsricate
YOU are dead manp The old man, who
proved to be the head of the family. was
SO overawed and psrslyzed that he stsm-
mered, and shook, and said not word.
"Go light a candle" cried Baker, sternly,
'and be quick about 1t" The trembling
old man Obeyed, and in a moment the i'm
perfect rays fsred upon his whitening
hairs snd bluishly pallid face. Then the
question was repested, backed up by the
glimmeriug pistol, "where are those men p
The old man held to the wall, and his
knees smote esch other. "They sre gone"
he said. ave hsv'nt got them in the
house; assure you that they are gOne."
Here there were sounds and whisperings
in the main building adjoining, and the
lieutenant strobe towards the door. A lu-
dicrous instant intervened. The old mans
modesty outran his terror. "Don't 90 il
there" he said, feebly, t'there are women
undressed in there" "Dsmn the women"
cried Baker; "whst if they sre undressed2

and stood in an assemblage of bare arms
and night robes. his loaded pistol dis.

he repeated his summons, and the half light |
of the candle gave TO his face more than
bandit ferocity. They all denied any
of the ssrAngers' whereabouts.

They sewed him up In 8 saddle blanket
This was his shrcud; too like 8 soldiers,
Harold, meantime, had been tied to tree
but was now released for the march. Col
onel Conger pushed on Immediately for
Washington; the cortege was to follow.
Booths only arms wera his carbine, knife,
and two revolvers. They fund about him
bills of exchange, Canada money and dia-
~. A venerable old negro living in the
vicinity had the misfortune to possess very
sntiQuRted old horse and q dilspidRted wRg-
on. The old negro geared up his wagon
by means of a set of fossil harness, and
when it was backed to CARROTS porch, they
lsid within it the discolored corpse. The
corpse was tied with ropes around the legs
and made fast to the wagon sides. The
two sons of Garrett were also taken along,
despite the sobs and petitions of the old
folks and women; but the rebel captain
who had given Booth a llift got of amidst
the nights sgitstions, and was not resrrest-
ed. So moved the cavalcade of retribution,
with death in its midst, along the road to
Port Royal. When the wagon started,
Booths wound, till now scarcely dribbling,
began to run anew. It fell through the
crack of the-wsgon, and fell dripping upon
The axle, and spotJing the road with terri
Bile waters. It stained the planks, and
soaked the blankets and the old negro, at
! stoppage dabbled his hands in it by mis-

PARALLEL SAYINGS.

When General Lee had given up his
ghost and had written his last message to
his defeated and subjugated and merci-
fully paroled army, he was waited upon
by an audaclous and importunate news
paper correspondent, to whom he impart-
ed some political views; promising that
he was only a soldier, and intimating that
he spoke out of his prescribed walk in life
when he gave any opinion that was not
strictly military one. But General Lee
did undertake to say, in very plain terms,
that if the subjugated rebels were not
treated with great tenderness, there would
be more civil war on the hands of the
Government - what the London hader
would call I" the second great stand of the
Southerners." Now, isn't this precisely
what Jetf.'s nearest General remarked,
after her petticoats-on male form-had
been forcibly hoisted by the sabre hllt of
an indelicate Yankee: After BOOTY
and Beauty" wasn't he, Beauregard:
She told the Yanks that they'd better look
out, or JEFF. would. hurt some of them.
Just about what Lee said. The Govern
ment doesn't seem to pay any more atten-
ton to Lees warning than the Woolver-
ines did to Mrs. Jeff.'s caution. Regi-
ment after regiment is being disbanded,
and we hear Of no contemplated re-upris-
ing of the rebellious hosts, though Andy
and Cabinet are well known to be consid-
ering the best mode of making mortal dis
position of the Chiefs of Treason. We
guess General Lee, with all the eulogies
heaped upon him by the banquet given
him by the Sanitary Commission Agents
an infamous feast, prepared from the funds
contributed to alleviate sufferings Lee
most largely aided to create-we say, we
guess General Lee and Madam JEFF. are
about equal on q threatening stump
speech. At this juncture of affairs, it
evidently is not the forte of either.
