FRANKLIN SQUARE, Bos1oN, April Is, 1865
Henry G. Jarret, Esq, Manager of The Boston
Theatre:
By DEAR SIR: With deepest sorrow and
great agitation l thank you for relieving me
from my engagement with yourself and the
public. The news of the morning has made
me wretched indeed, not only because have
received the unhappy tidings Of the suspicious
of brothers crime, but because a good man
and most justly honored and patriotic ruler
has fallen in an hour of JOY by The hand of an
assassin. The memory of the thousands who
heve fallen on the field in our country's defence
during this struggle cannot be forgotten by me
even in this, the most distressing day of my
life. And most sincerely pray that the victo-
ries we have already won may stay the brand
of war and the tide of loyal blood While
mourning in common with all other loyal
hearts the death Of the President, 1 am OPP
pressed by private w0 not to be expressed In
words. But whatever calamity may befali me
or mine, my country one and indivisible has
my warmest devotion EDWIN BOorH.

REBEL SYMPATHIZERS.
How they were Treated by the
People.

New YORK, April IA man was
thrown from a Brooklyn ferry boat into
the river for disloyal language. His life
was saved by passing boat. Both this
city and Brooklyn are envelopedin mourn
ing and the streets crowded with promen-
aders all day viewing the decorations.
Geo. Wells, John Gallagher, VIM. Fan
ming and Peter Britton, the latter treasurer
of theatre, were to-day each sentenced
to six months in the penitentiary for utter
ing reasonable sentiments.
Last evening squad of patriotic young
men visited the house of Mrs. John TYLER,
wife of Ex-Fresident Tyler, on Staten Is
land, demanded and obtained rebel flag.
which has long been hanging prominently
ia her Parior. Ex-Mayor Lewis of Savan-
nan, violent rebel, was present, but kept
quiet. The parlor of Mrs Tyler is where
secessionists have often met during the war
and was the headquarters of a rebel sew
ing society. The flag was sent to General
Dix. ~ e1 %
Several secessionists are reported to
have been beaten by infuriated Unionists
on hearing the awful comments on the
assassination made by these fends.
WASHINGTON, April 17.-Excitement
here has partially subsidized, and business
was resumed to-day to a certain extent.
There is still deep feeling among the peo-
pie. Noted rebel sympathizers have not
appeared on the streets, and rebel paroled
officers have also been cautious about ap-
pearing in public. One beat q hasty re-
treat to-day on being surrounded by a
crowd
While party of Marylanders were being
escorted to the Old Capitol to-day, a mob
rushed on to the guard and came near
rescuing the prisoners. 1t was not till the
soldiers were ordered to present arms and
make ready to fire that the crowd desisted.
They threw stones and sticks, and mani
tested great desire to get hold of the
prisoners. So extensive had been the
precautions to keep the prisoners from the
hands Of the mob that the cavalry men
were heavily protected.
ST.. LOUIS, April Saturday, not
outstanding the vast number of excited
people in the streets, passed off quietly,
with the exception of one cr two shooting
scrapes which occurred in the evening.
About IL O'Clock quite difficulty oc-
CURED on the corner of Washington street
and Broadway, between a portion Of the
Provost Guard and some citizens who in.
dulged in disloyal language. John Sheri-
dan was shot in the side, and Owen Sheri-
dan was bayoneted in the shoulder. Mich
olas Schags was also shot in the shoulder.
Morris Ebert, a clerk on Broadway, was
MORALLY wounded by shot and is report
ed to have since died. Four of the Pro-
vost Guard were arrested and turned over
to the military.
The following citizens were arrested on
Saturday for expressing joy at the death of
the President, and using disloyal language:
Edward Fenner, Frank Loney, Anna
James, VIM. Burns. Win. Malone, John
Henry Rochting aud Ernest Bartle. They
will be examined by the Provost Marshal
quite a necessary institution in these
times, to deal with rampant treason.

The Cession of Mexican States.

. We were not inclined at first TO give ere
dence to the report that the Mexican States
of Sonora, Sinaloa chihuahua, Durango
and Lower California had been ceded by
Maximilian to Louis Nepoleon. The idea
seemed not only romantic, but absolutely
monstrous, that this man who had taken
solemn oath to defend the integrity of the
Mexican empire, should already be giving
away its most metalliferous provinces to
France. We could readily credit the story
that DIR. William L. Gwin had been created
a Duke, but when this statement was coup
led with the assertion that he had been
made Viceroy over certain surrendered States
for the benefit of Louis Napoleon, we hesita-
ted before we accepted the intelligence as
true, although remembrance Of the mode
by which Napoleon obtained Savoy from
the King of Italy made the story not alto
gether improbable. 1t begins to be tolera-
bly, evident now that Louis Nepoleon designs
to occupy permanently as French colonies,
these Mexican States. They are. nominaly
ceded as a security for debt, but all Mexi-
u
10 to-day she is created into monarchy
for the benefit of party to whom nothing
was due. There is cool iusolence and out
range about this whole transaction which is
properly appreciated by our people, and
which even rebel papers have considered so
glaring as to warrant termination Of the
rebellion, reunion with the North, and a
concerted movement for the purpose of ex-
| pelling Maximiian and cutting up by the
roots this French-Austrian scheme of doml-
mating our continent. 1t is as clear as the
MONDAY sun that our people bide patiently
the time when they shall be sufficiently dis
entangled from the civil war which now en-
crosses them, to give bold and decisive war
ming to these foreign gentleman to pack up
their trunks and set sail again for Europe.

Rebel Desertions Increasing.

The Boston Journal learns from an officer
recently from the Army of the Potomac,
where he is in a position to know the facts,
that the reports of rebel desertions are well
founded. An average of forty deserters per
day come within the lines of the Fifth corps
alone. From one Virginia regiment hun
dred deserters have come in, and the deser-
tlons became SO numerous that it was necessa-
ry to remove the regiment from the front.
Early IN the campaign deserters were main
ly conscripts and those who had been forced
into the army. Now they are generally the
veterans of the rebel army-men who have
been long in the service, and who have be-
came tired of the war and satisfied that If is
useless to prolongi it. The homes of a large
number of those deserters are within our
lines, and they are glad to take the oath of
allegiance and come again under the protec-
tion of the old flag.

Rebel Vessels Try to Run By Our Batteries
A dispatch dated Headquarters Army of

the James, January "a, says: Last night
run past our batteries. They took advantage
of the storm and darkness to send down a feet
of eight vessels of war, and three torpedo
boats. This feet consisted of the Virginia,
Fredericksburg, and Richmond, iron-clads,
mounting four guns each: the wooden yes
sells, Drury, Nansemond and Hampton, of
two guns each the Bedford, one gun, the
steamer Torpedo, and three torpedo boats.
The following are the particulars as far as
they could be obtained from deserter from
the expedition, who came into our lines about
daylight this morning: The feet left its
moorings about six last evening, and pro-
ceeded quietly until it got near our batteries,
when they were discovered, and Immediate
ly the batteries opened upon them, to which
they replied At about twelve o clock they
cucceeded in cutting the chains abreast of
our distractions, beyond the lower end of
Dutch Gap Canal, when the Fredericksburg,
under full head of steam, passed through
the distractions, completely destroying one
of the sunken canal boats The Richmond.
Hglhla ana Drufy, III attempting to follow,
grounded, when the Fredericksburg had
to go to their assistance.
The Drury could not be got off and was
obliged to be abandoned, as it was now day
light and they were in range of battery Par
sons. As soon as it became light the bat
terry opened on the Drury, one of the shells
falling in her magazine which exploded,
completely demolishing her, and the remain
der of the feet again made their way back
up the river. 1t was supposed that an at
tempt would be made to go through again
tonight, though what their destination
may be can merely be surmised. The only
damage done was the dismounting of one
gun on Fort Brady. Deserters report only
one man killed and two wounded by the ex-
plosion of the Drury, and four deserters
swan ashore and came into our lines.

ANARRow ESCAPE. The Berlin Journals
relate the following incident which has lust
taken place in Prussia: "a pointsman was
at the junction Of two lines of railroad, his
lever in hand, for a train was signaled The
engine was within few seconds of reaching
the embankment, when the man on turning
his head, preceived his little boy playing on on
the rails of the line the train was to pass
over. Lie down. he shouted out to the
child, but as to himself, he remained at his
post. The train passed along on its way,
and the lives Of hundred passengers were
perhaps saved But the poor child The
father rushed forward expecting to take only
corpse, but what was his joy on finding the
boy had at once obeyed his order-he had
laid down, and the whole train passed over
him without injury. The next day the
King sent for the man, and attached to his
breast the medal for civil courage
