FaithruI Back Man.

The Tribisnes correspondent, describing
the chase after Booth, narrates the follow
ing incident:
They proceeded down the river 10 Belle
Plain in the steamer ldes, and thence dis
embsrking, rode acress to point opposite
Port Royal on the Rappahsnnock. Here
was scow ferry, and the ferrymsn was
critically questioned as to the e:pssssge Of
such party rs Booth and Harold.
The Virginia fsrryman could remember
no such persons. But while Colonel Ba-
ker was exhibiting Booths photograph with
the view of refreshing his memory, dark
er eolOred, but more loyal Virginisn, en-
ployed as an assistant on the ferry, hap
pened to see the photograph over the de-
tective's shoulder, and instantly replied,
ayes master, know dat man, I set um

Chief Engineer SANDY" Henderson, OF
the Onondsgs, arrested his own brother
last week, and put him in Castle Thunder.
Henderson alone, of his whole Virginian
family, espoused the national side four
years ago. He called 81 his fathers house
when Richmond had been re-occupied, and
his brother, opening the door, retreated
without speaking.
"This is warm welcome" said Sandy,
ironically, "after four years absence"
II know no enemy of my country" said
the brother.
"Then," said the engineer, "put on your
hat and go the Provost Msrshsps."
Arrived there, Mr.. Henderson had 8
committsl to Castle Thunder made out,
with three days absence on parole. He
took his brother to the Onondags, loaned
him money, fed and clothed him, and at
the expiration of the time sent him to Jail.
Neither party relented. -s..

1nhnafon,s surrender.

The surrender of Johnston, upon the
terms accorded to Lee, gives up TO the
Union at once every armed rebel, in ter
ritory including nearly half the area of the
Confederscy. 1t embraces the whole region
from the Southern border of Virginia to the
Chsttahoochee, river which forms for
considerable distance the Western bound
ary Of Georgia, and thus includes both the
Carolinas, Georgia and Florida, distance
of more than five hundred miles from east 70
west. The Ohsttshoochee is the Western
boundary Of General JohnstOn's depart
nent, and Of course as his surrender was
purely military one it could extend no
fsrther. In this respect it most widely
differs from the Sherman memorandum
Of the 1s.h, which was usurpation of
civil authority, and it is this feature of it
which will prove most acceptable to the
general public.
TIE only states east Of the Mississippi
not now formally surrendered and in our
possession are Alabama and Mississippi
The army therein consists Of q few thous-
and fugitives from Mobile, under Dick
Taylor. Every important position in
both these states is in our hands, and this
army will surrender as soon as our cavalry
can reach them. There need not be
single gun fired, single sabre drawn, to
restore peace and repossess all the rebel
lious territory east of the Mississippi
Beyond that river, however, Kirby Smith
is at the head of powerful, well-orgsnized
and finely supplied armyof fifty thousand
men. Should he see fit, he might doubt
less give US trouble fo- some time, though
the concentrated armies of the Union
would make short work with him. But
we doubt if he will attempt to fight st all.
His Indifference to the JEFF. Davis govern
ment is notorious, and he has twice dis
obeyed its orders to cross the Mississippi
and come to its aid. His love TOR it will
not be quickened by its misfortune and
ruin. PerceiviDg the hopelessness Of fur
ther resistance, and being, moreover, of
ambitious and flibustering tendencies, he
will, we think, march his army into Mexico
and either espouse the republican cause or
boldly throw down the gauntlet to both
parties snd take advantage of the internal
strife in Mexico to seize it as his own
prize. Recent events confirm this theory
and indicate the strong determination of |
the Texan leader to abandon all further
fruggle in the cause of the rebellion.
Should JEFF. Davis succeed in crossing
the Mississippi, he would of ccurse use
every endeavor to change this programme. |
But would he be successful2 And will he |
ever reach Texss2 Can he escape the
cavalry of Wilson, the pursuit of Stone
man and Fitzpatrick, or the movements Of
forces from Mobile, Vicksburg and New
Orleans2 at is a far cry to Lochow"-
It is eight hundred miles and more to the
Mississippi. VIII two thousand cavalry
hold together for that distance? VIII
half of tbem7 We think it much more
probable that the Great Traitor viii be
long before he looks on the
Z Father of Waters" and that the pledge
1f Peacs may become an indisputable and
complete reality before many weeks.

DIR. G. B. LIGHTHILLS first visit to
Ohio was induced by numerous spplica-
tions for trestment from parties unable to
visit New York for that purpose, and who
can not be successfully trested except alter
a personal examination. His practice has
been so successful that he has repeated his
visits to Cleveland several times. Still he
finds that it is slmost as difficult for some
parties desiring his service, to visit him at
Cleveland, that in compliance with the re-
qests of many citizens, ne has consented,
before returning TO Europe, to visit several
central points il Northern Ohio, making
Cleveland his headquarters so that sll who
desire can consult him.
For the past twelve years Dr. Lighthin
has paid exclusive attention to the treat
ment of deafness and cstarrh in its vari-
GUS forms. He has prscticed in New York,
and other principal Eastern cities, where
until few months past, he was associated
with his cousin, DIR. E. B. Lghthill, and,
together, they have acquired q standing
which hss earned for the "Lighthin In
situte' its present great reputation.

NEwToNvILLE, Nov. 10, 1864.
DR.. LIGHTHILL-Dear Sir: Allow me
TO express my grateful thanks for the skill
and kind attention rendered to my daugh-
ter, whose ears have been badly affected
for many years, and for some months past
has been nearly deprived of hearing. The
loss of this important sense is certainly s
sad deprivation, painfully embarrassing,
and to degree known only to those who
have experienced it If, therefore, there
be remedy for this great evil, the cause
of humanity obviously requires that it
should be universally disseminated. 1 feel
it my duty, therefore, and it affords me
much pleasure, to give my testimony 10 the
happy effects of your treatment and reme-
dies My dsughter-hss suffered from deaf.
ness since early childhood. The left ear
has been badly diseased. The right ear,
also, for several years, was seriously affect
ed, and the disease apparently increasing,
threatening the entire loss Of her hearing.
It was with extreme difficulty that she
could participate in theeonversstion of her
friends, and for two years has been deprived
of this source of social enjoyment. Hap
PLY my attention was directed to your ad-
vertisement, and was induced to place
her in your care. Your treatment, under
favor of kind Providence has been sue
cessful. Her hearing, so far as I can judge,
appears to be perfectly restored. Whether
this restoration is permanent is a question
time alone can determine, but present re-
cults are certainly very gratifying.
1 am, dear sir,
Truly and gratefully yours,

On Tuesday morning they presented
themselves at the Port Royal ferry, and
inquired of the ferry-msn, while he was
taking them over seven at q time, if he had
seen any two such men. Continuing their
inquiries st Port Royal, they found one
Rollins, fisherman, who referred them to
a negro named Lucss, as having driven
two uaiB short distance toward Bowling
Green N wagon. 1t was found that these
men answered to the description, BJoih
having 8 crutch as previously sscertsined.
After, .fruitless search on Tuesday they
rode into Bowling Green at eleven o'clock
Tuesday night, where they found a captain,
formerly of Moseby's command, on whose
horse Booth had ridden from Port Royal.
He told the pursuers that Booth and Hsr-
rold were then at the house of one Gar.
rett, three miles bsck toward Port Royal
Back, thereupon, rode the party to Gar
rett's house:
In the pale n noonlight, three hundred
yards from the main road, to the left, a
plain old farmhouse looked grayly through
It's environing locusts. 1t was worn and
white-Wsshed, and tWo-storied, and its half
human windows glowered down upon the
sileAtcsvalrymen like watching owls which
stood as sentries over some terrible secret
asleep within. The front of this house
looked up the road toward the Rsppahan-
mock, but did not face it, and on that side
long Virginia porch protruded, where, in
the summer, among the honeysuckles, the
bummiDp bird few like a visible odor
Nearest The main road, against the pallid
gable, single-storied kitchen stood, and
there were three other doors, one opening
upod the porch, one in the kitchen gable,
and one in the rear Of the farm house.
