KTeto atibrrtisrmpnts. THE PHAN TOiSI TEATEIER SATURDAY. APRIL 29, 1865. THE NEWS. The official bulletin from the War Department brings the Intelligence from Gen.

Grant itei n-m r.j im ibj iilj rr-J 1 -Of Johnston's snrrender to Sherman upon the i -irffy i i CHICAGO, SATURDAY, APRIL llrr'TETg'r'tfgT runm i.i Drake, killed at Cold Harbor, Mrs. Brewer, Mrs. cers. A large number of horses were on tbe boat which providentially fell unresisting victims to Uh flames. Had they broken loose tbe fate of the swimmers would have been determined.

Aa near as can be ascertained without other data tbaa observation, between two and three hundred reached the bank, while about an equal number floated down the stream on doors and furniture. A dense mass, estimated at about 500, took refuge on the bow of the boat, while the flames were driven aft by the wind, A lew moments after-wards ibe wheel houses, loosened by concussion and flames, fell off outward and the boat turned stern up stream, reversing the flames. The largest part of this number then mnst have perished, as they had no material at hand to throw over to snstain themselves except a few bales of bay wbich were immediately seized on the tuning of the boat, Gang pianka were thrown overboard but sunk at once under their living; freight and rose too far out of reach. A yawl roat was landed bottom np from the bnrricsne deck upon the heads or tbote below and afforded support for a few in that condition. The whole time before the boat was an entire sheet of flame could not have exceeded twenty minutes.

1 was not more than one-third of the distance to shore when I observed the fact Tbe prijoners represented nearly eveiy State in the Union, even Texts, and the calamity will be as widely felt as a battle of no inconsiderable proportions." UTSST. Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune. 1 Cairo, April 2S. The following is the Memphis Bulletin's account of the disaster to the steamer Sultana Capt. Mason arrived from "New Orleans last right, the 26th, with about 2,200 people on board' 1,964 of whom were exchanged Federal prisoners from Vicksburg, the balance being refugees and regular passengers from various points don the river.

Proceeding towards St, Louis, she left the coal pile about one o'clock in the morning, and had made some eight or len miles, when an explosion i one of her boilers occurred. Tbe boat, with re mass of living freight, took fire in the vicinity of the engine, and ia a short time ebe wss burned to the water's edge, ani cow lies on a sand bar near Foeleman's Lauding, with nothing visible but her charred remains and her iackstaff standing erect. The scene following the explosion was terrible and heart rending in the extreme. Hundreds of people were blown into the air, and descending into the water, some dead, some with broken limbs, some scalded, were borne under by tbe resistless current of the great river, never to rise again. Survivors represent the screams as tbril'ine.

With no immediate succor at desperate efforts to save life were agonizing beyond precedent. Some clung to trail pieces of the wreck, as drowning men cling to straws, and sustained them'elves for a few momenta, but flnallv became exhausted and sunk. Only tbe best of iwlmmers, aided by fragments of the wreck, were enabled to reach tbe woods, and there take refuge until rescued by boats sent from the lauding here to their assistance. There were about fiftten women and children aboard, and as near as can be ascertained, not mote than two or three had been found at tbe hour when this account was written. Some of the wrecked people were borne by tbe current as far down as the Levee at this city, and this wis the first intimation officers of tbe boats in port re-reived of the terrible diser.

A yawl was immediately sent out from tbe Garble City, and in a tew minutes seventeen persons were picked out of the water and brought ashore. Two were afterwards found clinging to the wheel, and thty were also saved. Upon hern? brought to a realization of the calamity, the officers of boa's in port, nnder notification of Capt. Senior, ol the river guard, steam up, and in a short time were at the burning steamer, where hundreds of people were picked up and brought to this landing, arriving about daylight. lhtywere met by numbers of citizens and ladies, who supplied them with abundance of dry clothing from the Quartermaster's Department and from various stores.

At tbis time it Is impossible to give a correct statement of the cause of the accident, and the number or names of the lost and saved. Every thing is in the greatt confusion. Kowberry, first mate, was on watch, standing in tbe pilot bouse with Capt. George ay ton, woo was at the wheel at the tune of the explosion. He only remembers tbe shock, and that he was blown into the air, snd was afterwards taken frorrthe water.

He saw the lower, deck in flames, and knows ho more. He can give no Idea of the cause of the accident, and says the boat was going at tbe ordinary speed, and that all seemed well up to the moment the explosion oc-cuired that the second engineer, a sober reliable a. an named Clemens, was at toe engines, and that nothing more than common was in progress. Captain Cayton was also hurled into- the wreck among broken boilers and rubbish, sustaining slight injuries. He immediately jumped oter-board with a doom, by which he was enabled to teach, the Arkansas sbore, three miles below, where striking a sapling be seized and clung to it until Clemens, the ngin'eer, was badly burned and scalded, and can hardly recover.

came terms that Lee received. Grant, Tipoa. reaching Raleigh, notified Johnston 'tbat the armistice between himself and Sherman was annulled, and gave him until Wed-Xteaday of this week to surrender or fiht. -Johnston replied that he would surreader If Jeff. Davis and the other rebel leaders might leave the country.

As Gen. Grant had previously informed him that his jurisdiction did not extend to civil matters, of course this condition was strictly gratuitous, and not to be entertained for an instant. The surrender embraces all the rebel forces JromBalcIgh to the Chattahoochee, or in -other words, the force of North Carol irp and -Georgia, as that river forms the boundary be. tween Georgia and Alabama. East oi the Itissisaippl River the rebellion is dead.

There yet remain the armies of the trans-Mississip-Ii, Taylor's, Kirby Smith's, Price's, and the forces in Texas, the surrender of which defends simply upon the time It will take our troops to get to them and demand it. That be soon, as the 4th corps, and the troops that captured Mobile are already en route for that department. One of the moat terrible disasters which has ever occurred on western waters took place Sear Memphis a day or two since. The steamier Sultana, with two thousand exchanged L'nron prisoners from Vicksburg, on their raj home, and one thousand civilians, exploded her boilers, burned and sunk. Oat oi the entire number cn board between five and Eeven hundred only were saved.

This fearful calamity ia the more appalling from the fact that so large a number of the victims were our brave soldiers Just escaped from the hor-Tots of the Southern prison pens only to meet death at the very threshhold of home. The great cavalry raid of Gen. -Wilson has 3ut an tnd to the furnishing of munitions of ar from Georgia and Alabama. At Selma, Montgomery, Columbus, West Point and Macon, all the machine shops, foundries, arsenals, were destroyed. The rebels cannot materials for another campaism.

A detailed and intensely interesting description of the circumstances attending the death of the foul assassin Booth will be found Jn our columns, together with the statement of Sergtant Boston Corbet who dispatched the wretch. His body has been buried -pri-Tately and mysteriously, where it will never Again be seen, bud the In amy of his atrocious deed will be forever linked to his name. Our correspondent with the funeral cortege continues to send us detailed accounts of the scenes and incidents transpiring at every station along the route. The remains left Cleveland last night at 12 and were to have arrived at Columbus this morning at 7:30. Intelligence' from St.

Louis states that the fragment of Jeff. Thompson's and Shelby's forces in Arkansas numbering from 6,000 to 12,000 men probably greatly exaggerated are preparing to invade Missouri. If true, it will be a short lived affair. The President issues a supplementary proc lamation changing the day of national hum 1-latlon and prayer from May 35th to Thursday, June It is now definitely decided that Mrs. Lincoln win come to this citv to reside.

Her con. Capt. Robert Lincoln, will also accom- party her, and engage in the profession of the i law in our courts, where his lamented father won an enviable and honorable distinction. The afflicted widow and family will receive a warm and sympathizing welcome from our citizens. We give the highjy important opinion of Attorney General Speed, on the terms of Xee's capitulation.

It appears from Secretary Stanton's statement that since the capitulation, rebel officers have appeared In their uniform within' the loyal States. And upon this fact, the question arises whether such conduct is not an act of hostility. The Attorney General reaches a conclusion upon the subject without any apparent hesitancy, -which may he summed up as follows 1st. That the rebel officers who surrendered to Grant have no homes in States, and Lave no right to come to places within those where their homes were prior to going into the rebellion. 3d.

That persons in the civil service of the rebellion, and have otherwise "given tid, comfort or support, were residents of rebel territory, and had no right to return tq, Washington under that stipulation. 31. licbt'l Officers have no right to wear their uniforms in the loyal States they have as itueh right to bear the rebel flag through the streets of a city as to wear the traitors' garb it is an aet of hostility. The opinion of tbe Attorney General will commend itself to the judgment of all. The intelligence of the assassination of President Lincoln was received with extraor dinary manifestations of sor.osv by the peo tie of New Orleans.

It was some hours be fore the people would tolerate the belief that the news could be true and when at last the assurance was placed beyond a doubt, the people burst tortnin waa mi nerce exclamation of indignation, calling upon a just God for a fearful retribution upon the assassin. All business in the city was at once roppended, and the coffee houses closed up. All the foreign consuls located in New Orleans drooped their flass at half-mast, and manifested active sympathy with the sorrow of the people. Our letter from Nashville indicates the organization or combination of a new force, to move lit the direction of Arkansas and Texas. -General Stanley appears to be designated as ibe leader.

The very able letter of our Memphis correspondent will attract attention. No person in that city better understands the situation and the inside workings of affairs. The arch hypocrisy of some of the pretended Cnion. sympathizers is admirably exposed. FROM SPKI3iiFIEK.f.

The steamer Sultana exploded her boilers, burned and sank ten miles below Memphia at three o'clock yesterday morning. The boat and cargo are a total lo s. She had on board two thousand exchanged Union soldiers from Ticksburg, and about one thousand civ Hans, including twelve ladies and children, only tea of whom are known to he saved. Eighteen of the deck crew and nine of the cabin crew were saved-It is thought that from five to seven hundred will include tbe full number saved of the whole boatload, many of whom are badly tcalded.

Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune. Caibs April 28. The steamer Marble City has Just arrived from Memphis. Although the newa is of the greatest importance and general Interest, her officers failed entirely to favor single correspondent Cairo with the papers containing it, consequently reporters in Cairo are not indebted to this steamer for the following particulars ot the most ap- pa'ling steamboat disaster that perhaps has ever occurred.

InterefftiEg Details of Bootli's Death. Special Dispatch to the Western Associated Press New York; April Co of this city, offer 10,000 towards tbe recovery of one Jeff. Davis, fugitive from justice. Attempted Suicide. The Tme sayg a German named George 8prtng-stein has taken Ihe assassination of President Lincoln to heart so deeply that he attempted suicide last evening.

The Tribune, commenting on Secretary Stanton's order to commanders in the field not to re-gaj4 Sherman's armistice, says The inevitable inference is that Sherman has been suspended, or that the Secretary of vVar means to eocnpel him to resign. It Is very plain that' a commander in thetleld whose sutHirdlnates were publicly notified to disregard bis orders cannot Jong remain with self respect or even be retained in his present position. Booth's The Adtwtiter't Washing to letter sayt There are reasons for believing thit Boom was aSUnced to an estimable lady. It is certain there are no grounds for the rumor that he had won the affections of the daughter of a prominent New England Senator. There was nothing more than drawing-room acquaintance between the oarties.

On Booth's person was found a diary In which he had recorded the events of his flight and other matters calculated to fix his guilt npon parties connected with the rebel Government. There was also found in his pocket sterling exchanga, obtained in Canada last October, where the diabolical plot was, doubtless, arranged. Mrs. Lincoln'. Future Plans.

Since tbe departure of the remains of her husband on their last journey Mrs. Line. In bas become more calm, but findsvft impossible at times to regard her loss with resignation, so heavy, so unexpected was the blow. President Johnson bas urged her not to bastenher departure from the White House, snd she will remain there until the close ot May, when tt Is her present intention to locate herself in Chicago. Her eldest son, CspU Lincoln, proposes to practice law.

in that city, where Master Tbaddeus can. enjoy excellent educational advantages. Gen. Grant. The same letter says it was fortunate for the Re public that Gen Grant was here wben the intetlt- fence of Sherman's blunder reached President obnson, and that he so promptly left to convey the disapproval of the Chief MiTistrate.

It may be that his presence will be required in North Carolina for a while, but President Johnson desires to have him return at the earliest possible Oay, and remain here second in cmniahd of the armies of the United States. Obltaary. Washington, April 28. Richard Cox, one of the oldest and most prominent lawyers in this city, died this aged 73 years. Booth's Uody.

Very great curiosity prevails as to the disposition to be made of the remains of Booth, but it seems that the authorities are not inclined to give the wretched carcass the honor of meeting the public gaze, and it will probably be deposited in whatever place promises the most utter obscurity. Yesterday a photographic view of the body was taken before it was removed from the monitor. It was then placed in an ordinary grey army blanket, in which it was sewed up. A plain box, measuring six feet by two, had been previously made in a joiner's shop for the remains, but it was not used. Reducing- the Expenses.
