p@- Our subscription list is incrcas- ing now quite rapidly. The special inducement we are now offering should certainly give us much larger circu- lation than that of any country paper published in the State. In point of size and quantity of reading matter we stand first, while our subscription price is much less when the fact is ta- ken into consideration that we give a premium worth a dollar. The Stock Journal, which we offer as a premium, contains thirty-two pages of matter, neatly covered, the whole volume for the year making 3S4 pages, with two columns to the page. It has not a word of politics, religion or news mat ter in it, being devoted entirely to ag- ricuit.ral matters and stock raising. The numbers can be preserved, and at the end of the year put together in the shape of book, which would be use- full and convenient for reference. We are determined to do everything in our power to make the Citizen inter- esting as family newspaper, and more than worth the money asked for it. The country is now in better condition than it has been for years, and there is none too poor to pay for our paper at its present price.

John wilkes Booth and the
 ssBsOOdy JuntO.c

Special dispatches from Baltimore state that the remains of,Wilkes Booth were placed in vault tofday in areeii- mount Cemetery, in the presence of his friends and relatives. The body, or skeleton, rather, was taken from the box in which it was buried, and placed in q splendid metallic coffin.
 The hair all remained, and the silken curls of glossy black reminds one of the face once so much admired.-Cin- cinnati Enquirer.
 While the above is going the rounds there is a settled conviction in the minds of vast numbers of persons that Booth never was captured, and is still at large. This is believed especially in the South. Very soon utterance will be given to popular opinion in a book entitled the Bloody Junto;' or, the Escape of John Wilkes Booth. This work is now in press (Woodruff X Blochcr, Little Rock,) and will be ready for delivery in short time. l have been permitted 10 examine the proof-shccts, and, though l cannot fully endorse the authors opinion, l must confess that am not prepared to oppose the theory he advances. Mir. Crozier (the author) takes the position that Booth actually escaped, and his story, am forced 10 admit, is more plausible, and has more appearance of truth than the Northern version of the affair. There are inconsistencies ill tragedy which are scarcely compatible with truth. For instance, it is said that Booth broke his leg in jumping upon the stage, after the assassination of Mr. Lincoln. Yet, we find no ac- count that he fell he stood erect be- fore. the audience, repeated ''sic semper &c." giving no evidence whatever that he was in the least injured. Then, the Yankee account is that he rushed with this same broken leg to the door, fight ing his way, and then mounted his horse. After riding three days and nights he was captured. All this was
 
 done with broken leg! This version is hardly credible. am rather dis posed to adopt Crozier's theory GAat some other person was murdered in stead of Booth, and the rcputed cap tors were so intent upon securing the reward offered they ralmed the body off as that of Booth. Recent develop mcnts go to establish Crozier's view of the subject. There is nothing to prove that the body inferred in Greenmount Cemetery is the body of Booth. Eve rything was decaycd except tho hair, and tho body could not be Identified. It is little remarkable that the "glos- sy black hair" suits exactly the person who, Crozier says, was captured in the place of Booth. In conclusion 1 will remark that Booths relatives pursued the proper course; because, if he is alive. nothing could add more to his safety than the belief that he is dead. His friends are then, of course, do;nm him service by endeavonng to estab fish the fact that he was killed. Such is my opinion, briefly given, and am willing to Jet It go for what it is worth. J.

The Almighty Dollar.

The New York Democrat chronicles as follows the latest instance of Yankee cru city and greed of gain:
 Five months since Dr. Ridley, of Bos- ton, amputated the leg of a fve-year old sou of his, who had been injured by being run over by an omnibus. For this damage to his son he collected 5000. It now turns out that the boys great and next to the great toe were alone injured, and sufficient to require more than two splinis, bandages and little care. But to recover da,nas ses the Christian father gave his child chloreiorm, ampa'ated the leg below the knee and recovered pay for the damages he alone had caused. It is not long since the inhuman monster was making speeches against the Southern people for whipping negro servants. What regular loyal Yankee will not do for the almighty dollar God only knows.

The Boston Traveller says: "The other morning General Grant was ask ed in jocular manner, by friend, whether 1t was true, as reported, that he intended to retain the members of President Johnson's cabinet as his own! With smile about his lips, General Grant answered.: If am to select my own cabinet, then can assure you that Andy Johnsvn is not to have q cabinet position. A promi- nent Western Radical Senator also re- lates that few evenings ago, while at the Generals residence, he asked Gen. eral Grant what information he feltat liberty to give as to the composition of his cabinet. I have decided says General Grant, upon three things in the selection of cabinet; the first is that Mrs.-will not be rendered a position secondly, that my cabinet will be composed of seven members; and, in the last place, I have determined not to select two members from the same Statc.'

SG- We lay before eur readers this week copy of President Grants in augural address. A careful perusal Of this document is calculated to inspire the people with confidence ill the man elected 1T he win carry out the policy laid down in it. The people of this nation, and especially of the South have nothing to fear from a man who is bold enough to do his sworn duty, aid has honesty enough to enforce the laws regardless of political parties or individual interests. That this address has disappointed the Radical friends of Grant we are fully persuaded, for in it many of their hopes are blasted, and many of the darling schemes which they have nnrscd so long are hopeless " aud ctcrnally ruined. Uetells them frankly that he will go into his office untrammeled, meaning, we take if, that no party has claims upon or promises from him, and that his sole business will be to constitutionally fill the of fee, not for party, but for the people. Me advise all our readers to pcruse this document carefully, for in all can dor we like its toEe, and are heartily glad that in our opposition to the par ty elccting the man we are not too much prcjudiccd to say so.
