WAsm(3T03r, April 14. The President snd Mrs. Jincoln were at -ford's Theater, listening to the performance of The Amer- ickn Cousin," ocenpjing a box in the second tier. At the close of the third act, a penon entered the box occupied by the President, and shot llr. Lincoln in the head, the shot entering the back part of his head and coming out above the temple.

The assassin then jumped from the box upon the stage, and ran. acroes to the other fide, exhibiting a dagger in his hand, flourishing it in a tragical manner, and shouting the same word repealed by the desperado at Mr. Seward's house, adding to it, "The South is and then escaped from the back entrance to the stage, in. passing dropped, his pistol and his hat. Mr" Lincoln fell: forward In his seat, and hlrs.

Lincoln fain fed. The moment that the astonished audience could realize what had happened, the- President was taken oat and carried to Mrs. Peterson's house, in Tenth street, opposite to the theater. Medical id vftst immediately sent for, and the wound was first supposed to be fatal, and it was announced that he could not live but at half past 12 he is still alive, though in a precarious, condition. Ab the assassin ran across the ptage.

Colonel J.

This operation shows that the whole thing was a preconcerted plan. Ihe person who fired-the pistol was a man about thirty years eV sg, about five feet in Light, spare built, with fair akin'and dark apparently with a large moustache. Laura Keene and toe leader or tne orchestra declare' that they recognised him as tkilkes" Booth, the and rabid secessionist, Whoever he was it is plainly evident that he thoroughly understood the theater, and also the approaches and modes of eaoape ta the stage. A person not familliar with the could not have possibly made his escape ia well and quickly. The alarm waa sound (ft in every Secretary Stanton was notiSed, and immediately- left his house.

Lincoln, Mrs. Harris, (daughter of Senator Harris,) and Captain Kathboae, ef Albany, were seated. Immediately on renins: the door, he ad' vanced toward Mr. Lincoln with a six barrelled revolver in his right hand, and a Bowie-knife in his left. The President, who was intent upon the play, did not notiee his intrusion, sad the gentlemen who were seated beside him rose to inquire the reason of his entry.

Before he had time to ask the assassin what he wanted, he Bred one charge from nis revolver, which took effect in the back of the President's head. The ball passed through and came out at the right temple. Csptain Bathbone attempted to ar rest the murderer, and in trying to do so. received a shot in his arm. The assassin then leaped from the box upon the.

stage. Before he disappeared behind the curtain, he turned, and with a tragie flourish and tone, waved his knife and shouted, temper tyranttUy So sudden wss the affair, that tor some moments after its occurrence the audience supposed that if was a part of the play, snd jwere only undeceived when It was announced from the stage by the mana- gers that the President of the United States had been shot. The shock fell upon the audience like a thunder-bolt, and loud cries were immediately raised to kill or capture the assassin. The scene which ensued can not be described. Men and women rushed for the doors, crying and shouting for ven- geance on the murderer, lne murderous emissary of the slave power easily and rapidly from the theater, mounted a horse and escaped.

The President, who was insensible, was carried out and taken to a house opposite the theater. Mrs. Lincoln fainted in the box, and was borne out after her husband. The mass of the evidenoe to-night is that J. Wilkes Booth committed the crime.

Who ever it is, there are reasons for thinking that the same bold and bloody band attempted the life of Secretary Seward. His wounds were made by a knife as big as that waved on the and the Virginia motto tic itmtjter tyremnix. iirATcnv, t' When the fatal shot Was fired, Mrs. Lin coln, ho was alongside of her husband, exclaimed, "Oh, why did they not shoot me I why did they not shoot me 1" There is evidence that Secretary btanton was alatt marked for assassination.

Jt is supposed that the assassin in tended to shoot lam as he entered the house, but from the fact that Mr. Stanton remained at borne during the evening.

The circumstantial evidenoe is very strong that J. Wilkes Booth is the person who shot the President. Several parties, who are all well acquaintt-d with snd saw the asf assin when be jumped from the box, are positive that he is the man. It is also reported that Booth' horse was saddled at the 6kle door or tne theater, ana was. roae off by tbe assassin.

which he did to the servant. What further passed in the way of colloquy is not known, but the man struck him en the head with a -billy, severely injuring the skull, and felling him almost The assassin then rushed into the chamber and attacked Mr. Seward, Paymaster U. S. end Mr.

Han nail, a messenger of the State Department, and two male nurses, disabling them, and rushed upon the Secretary, who wss lying in bed in the room, and inflicted three stabs in the neck, but servering, it is thought, bo arteries, though he bled profusely. The assassin then rushed down stairs, mounted his horse, at the door, and rode off before an alarm eould be sounded, and in the same manner as the assassination of the It is believed the injuries of the Seoretary are not fatal, nor' those of the others, although both the Secretary and the Assistant Secretary are very seriously injured. Secretaries Stanton and Welles, and other prominent officers of the Government, called at Secretary Seward's house to inquire into his condition, and there heard of the assassination of the President. They then proceeded to the house where he was lying, exhibiting, -of course, intense anxiety and solicitude. An immense erowd was gathered in front of the President's iouse and a strong guafij was also stationed there, many persons evidently supposing he would be brought to his heme.

The entire euy to-night -presents a soene of the wildest excitement, accompanied by violent expressions of indignation and pro-foundest sorrow. Many shed tears. The military authorities have dispatched mounted patrols in every direction, ia order, possible, to arrest the assassin. The whole Metropolitan Police are likewise vigilant for the same purpose.
