PRESIDENT LINCOLN AssAsslNArED.


WASHINGTON, April 14.-President
Lincoln and wife, with other friends, this
evening visited the Ford Theatre for the
purpose of witnessing the performance
of Our American Cousin. 1t was an
nounced in the papers that Gen. Grant
would be present, but that gentleman
took the late train of cars for New Jer-
sey. ,.I
not start for the Theatre until htteen
minutes after clock. Speaker ColtaK
was at the White House at the time
The President stated to him that he was
going. although Mrs Lincoln had not
been we'll, because the papers had an
nounced that Gen. Grant was to be pres
emf and as Gen. Grant had gone North,
he did not wish the audience to be dlsap-
nointed. He went with apparant reluc-
tance. and urged Mr.. Colfax to go with
4 him. but that gentleman had made other
arrangements, and with Mr. Ashmun OF
Mass, bid him good by.
The Fheater was densely crowded
h During. the Sd act sharp report OF a
Distol WI5~heard, which merely attracted
Y attention but suggested. nothing serious,
\ until a man rushed to the front of the
Presidents box, waving long dagger IN
his right hand and exclaiming, SIC sem
nor T5yaunis," the motto of the State OF
Virginia, and Immediately leaped from
the box, which was in the second tier
to the stage beneath, and ran across to the
opposite side Of the stage, making his ess-
cape amid the bewilderment of the aud,
ience from the rear of the Theatre, and
mounting a horse and fed.
The screams Of Mrs. Lincoln first DIS
closed the fact to the audience that the
President had been shot, when all pres
ent rose to their feet, rushed to the stage
many exelaiming, "hang him"
The excitement was of the widest pos
sible description, and of course there wa
an abrupt termination of the theatrica
performance. There was a rush toward
the Presidents box, when. cries w.er
heard OF "Stand back, and give him air.
"Has any one stimulants
1t was found that the President ha
been shot through the head, above an
hack of the temple bone, and that som
of the brains were oOzlng out lie wa
removed to private house opposites tn
theatre, and the Surgeon General OF tn
ARMY and other, Surgeons sent for TO q
tend TO his condition.
Blood was discovered on the back I

President had been sitting, also on u

After desperate struggle victory had
perched upon our banners and u wild hur-
r;lh rang out among the solemn pines. Our
weary soldiers were relieved by fresh
troops and sought their nightly bivouac
The 10th was marked by no important
event except the occupation by our forces
of the ground lost on the previous day
on the 2Ist the 18th corps came up from
Gox's Brigade, and striking the enemy on
his left flank and his rear, compelled him
to abandon his position. On the morning
of the 22d the whole field was ours, and
our march toward the Neuse was continued
without interruption. During the after
noon of the 23d the 20th Corps crossed the
Neuse at Cox's Bridge and on the 24th ar
rived at .Goldshoro.
Thus, on the siXty-sixth day after leaving
Savannah, orr great campaign terminated.
The army had accomplished march of four
hundred and ninety-fOur miles, during
which it had crossed twelve deep and diff
cultrivers, captured eightimportant, towns
including the capital Of South Carolina, de-
stroyiug the whole railroad system Of the
Southern Atlantic States excepting North
Carolina defeated the enemy in two pitch
ed battles, and compelled the evacuation OF
Charleston, Georgetown, Wilmington and
Kingston. Who will not say that this IS
the severest blow the rebellion has ever yet
received?
For the special comfort of all rebel sym=
augurated at Atlanta, Georgia, on the 10th
day of November, 1864, is NOT get eItdeot.-
In due time this army Will resume its on
ward march. Where that march will end
is not vet definitely known, but, for one, |
could heartily wish that its terminus might
be at IA certain cozy little town in Central
