NEW YORK, April 16. The Herald's Washington special sends the detaili of the events proceeding the as sassination of the President, and his last hoars. A boat half past seven p. it Hon. George AshmuB called at the White House and was ushered into the parlor where Schuyler Colfax was waiting for a short interview with the President, on business which had bearing npon his proposed overland trip.

few moments elapsed when President Lincoln entered the room and a short conversation took place, touching upon vari ous matters. The President was in a happy and jovial frame of mind. Mr. Ashmun desiring to see him on special business, and there being no time to attend to it then, the President took out a card, and placing it on his knee wrote as follows: "Allow Mr. Ashmun and friend to come to me at 9 a.

if. to-morrow. Signed "A LINCOLN. "April 14, 1866." These were the last words that he pen ned. It was the last time he signed his name to aiy order, document, or message.

Mr. Lincoln finally stated be most go to the theater, and warmly pressed Speaker Colfax and Mr. Ashmun to accompany him, but they excused themselves on a score of previous engagements. At about o'clock p. Mr.

and Mrs. Lincoln start ed for the carriage, the latter taking the arm of Mr. Ashmun, the President and Mr. Colfax walking together. As soon as tbe President and Mrs.

Lincoln were seated in the carriage, the latter gave orders to the ooachman to drive around to Senator Harris' residence for Mies Harris. As the carriage rolled away, both said "Good bye, good bye to Messrs. Ashmun and Colfax. The carriage had in a moment more disappeared from the ground in front of the White House. A few momenta later a party of four persons, the President and Mrs.

Lincoln, Miss Harris and Mr. Bathbone of Albany, step-son of Mr. Harris, arrived at the theatre and entered at the front left-hand box. A moment before the attack was made the President was leaning forward resting his head on his hand in his usual careless way, his eyes bent on the stage and enjoying a hearty laugh. Miss Harris, who was in the box with the President, makes the following statement: Nearly one hour before the commission of the deed the assassin came to the door of the box and looked into it to take a sur vey of its occupants.

It was supposed at the time it was either a mistake or the exercise of impertinent curiosity. The circumstance attracted no particular attention at the time. Upon entering the box again Major Bathbone asked the intruder his business. He rushed past the Major without making an; reply, and placing the pistol close to the back of the President's head, fired and instantly sprang upon the cushion baluster of the box, when he made a backward plunge with -his knife, aimed at the face or breast of Mr. Lincoln.

Major Bathbone, springing forward to pro tect the President, received a stab in bis arm. The murderer jumped on the stage and escaped. The rapidity with which all was committed on the President was as famishing. Mrs. Lincoln saw the form of person go down from the box and thought Mr.

Lincoln had fallen out, and looked to see if she could see him on the floor and barely saw the culprit jump to the stage. When all was over she turned her tyosto the box and saw that Mr. Lincoln's head had dropped forward upon hfc breast, and at once realized what had transpired. The murder of the President was at once announced at Graver's Theater. Lit tle Fred.

Lincoln was in attendance there. The moment be he-trd the ttatemect he seemed to go almost crazy, And ihrfeked and sobbed In a heart-rending manner, The poor boy was taken to the White House and was soon quieted, when it was ascertained that his father was still alive. From the moment the President was shot, up to his death, he was insensible and ex hibited no signs of pain, nor recognized no person, and in fact, I believe did not open his eyes. The blood troubled his breath ing, often making it exceedingly difficult He was watched with tender care and all that could be done was done. Vice President Johnson visited the Presi dent daring the night, but remained only about an hoar; in fact many cf those who had rushed to assist in taking care of the President found that their presence obstructed, rather than gave assistance, and therefore left.

Among these were many members of Con er ess and Western men. The number present was reduced to but few before be breathoc his last. About five o'clock this morning I reached the house where the President lay in his dying agonies. He was lying'epon the bed, ap parently breathing with great difficulty. He was entirely unconscious, as he had bean ever since his assassination, his eyes protruding from their sockets and suffused with blood.

In other respects his counten ance was unchanged. In the adjoining room were Mrs. Lincoln, her son, Captain Bobert Lincoln, Miss Harris, who was with Mr. Lincoln at the time of the assassina tion of the President, Bufus F. Andrews, and two ladg friends of Mrs.

Lincoln. Mrs. Lincoln was under a great excitement and agony, wringing her hands and exclaim ing: "Why did he not shoot me instead of my husband I I havetried to be so careful of him, fearing something would happen, and bis life earned to be more precious now than ever; I must go to him 1" and other expretsions of a like character. She was constantly goiog back and forth to the bedside of the President, exclaiming in great agony: "How can it be so The scene was heart-rending, and it is impossible to portray it in its living light. Captain Bobert Lincoln bore himsoif with great firmness, and constantly en deavored to assuage the grief ol hia mother by telling her to put her trust in God and all would be well.

Occasionally, being entirely overcome, he would retire to the hall to give vent to the most heart-Tending lamentations. He would recover himself and return to his mother, and with remarkable self-possession try to cheer her broken spirits and lighten her load of sor row, ilis conduct was a most remarkable exhibition ot calmness in a tr ing hour that I have ever seen. About a quarter of an hour before the President died his breathing became very difficult, and in many Instances seemed to have to have entirely ceased, so that tbe surgeons who holding his pulse supposed him dead. He would breathe with so great difficulty as to be heard in almost every part of the house. Mrs.

Lincoln took her last loave of him about twenty minutes before he expired, and was sobbing in an adjoining room when it was announced to her that he was dead, and when the announcement was made she exclaimed, '-Oh why did you not tell me he was dying." The Surgeons and members of tbe Cabi net, Senator Sumner, Captain Bobert Lin coln, General Tod, Mr. Field and Mr. Andrews were standing at his bedside when he breathed his last. Bonator butnner, General Tod, Bobert Lincoln and Bufus Andrews stoodloanisg over the headboard of the bed, watching every motion of the breathing breast of the dying President. Bobert Lincoln was resting on the arm of Senator Sumner.

Members of the Cabinet were standing by the bed side. Secretary Stanton on the left of Mr. An drews and Mr. Andrews was near tbe head of Mr. Lincoln, next to him was Mr.

Don-niaon, and others were arranged along at his left. The Sorgons were sitting upon the side and foot of the bed, holding the President's hands, with their ob serving the alow declension of the pulse. Such was the solemn stillness for the space of five minutes, that the ticking of the watches could by heaTd in the room. At twenty-two minutes past seven his muscles relaxed, and the spirit of Abraham Lincoln fled from its earthly tabernacle to that bourne from which no traveler re turns. The countenance of the President was beaming with that characteristic smile which only those who have seen him in his happiest momenta can appreciate, and, except a blackness about his eyes, his face appeared perfectly natural.

He died without a struggle, and without even a perceptible motion ot a nmo, cairn and silent, this great and good man passed away. The morning was calm and the rain was falling gently upon the roof of the humble apartment where thay laid him down to die. Guards had been stationed to keep peo ple from the house, and no noite could be heard in the streets save the footsteps of the sentry passing to and fro as he guard- ci all that remained of Abraham Lincoln. All that were present felt the awful solemnity of the occasion, and no man could have witnessed the touching scone without melting to tears even Secretary Stanton, whose coolness were remarkable, could not keep back the silent monitors which rolled out from bis eyes upon his choeks. Mrs.

Lincoln remained but a short time. She was assisted into her carnage, and with her son Bobert and other friends, was driven to tbe house where, but last even ing, she left for the last time with her bus- band. Secretary Stanton called on Mr. Seward just before 12 o'clock. Mr.

Seward recog nized him at once, and asked why the President had not calltd on him. Up to this time he had no knowledge that the as. saasins had attacked any person outside of hia house. Upon Mr. Stanton, therefore, devolved the unpleasant duty of informing him of the fate of the President, considering it bast not to keep him longer in ignorance of the sad event.

Mr. Stanton gave a short and succinct statement of what had transpired. He at once seemed to comprehend the great events of the past night. Instead of having the effect to depress, seamed to nerve him to meet hi to of so to be of I to of i ,0 own affliction, and his symptoms have been encouraging and hopefull all day. Tbe church cf Ve.

Sib: Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, was shot by an assassin last even in at Ford's Theatre, in this city, and died at the hour of 7:22 o'clock this morning. About the same time at which the President was shot, an assassin entered the sick chamber of tue tlon Wm. U. Seward. Secretary of Btate, and stabbed him in several places, in the throat, neck and taco, severely, not mortally wounding him.

Other members of the Secretary's family were dangerously wounded by the acsassin while making bis eecaDe. by tbe death of President Lincoln the office of President has devolved, under the upon you. The emergency of the government demands that you should immediately qualify yourself according to tbe requirements of the Constitution, and enter upon the duties of President cf the Unittd Slates.

Hon. S. Chase, Chief Justice of tbe United States Supreme Court, was notified of the fact and desired be in attendance to administer the oath office at the above hour. The following gentlemen assembled in the Vice-Presi dent's room to participate in. the cere monies: Hon.S.

After the presentation of the above let ter, the Chief Justice administered the following oath to Mr.Johnson: "I do solemnly swear that 1 will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the beat of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." After receiving the oath, and beinc dclared President of the United States, Mr.

Johnson remarked: Gkntlkmkh: i must De permuted to say that I ave boen almost over wbelme i by the announcement of tbe sad event which has recently occurred. I feel incompetent perform duties so important ana respon sible as those which have been so unex- nectedlv thrown uy me. As to an indica tion of any policy which may bo pursued me in lue minit aiu-u ui loiuguvoru ment, I have to say that that must be left for development as the administration progresses. Message or declaration mast made by acts as they transpire. The only assurance that I can now give of the future, is reierence to me past, xne course which I have taken in the past in connection with this rebellion, must be regarded as a guarantee of tbe future.

My past public life, wbicn nas ueen longana been founded, as I in good conscience believe, upon a great principle of ri. ht, which lies at tnebasisofall things. The beet energies of my liTe have been spent in endeavoring to establish and perpetuate theprinciplea free government. I believe that the government, in passing through its pres. ent perils, will settle down upon the principles consistent with the popular rights, more prominent ana enauring uian nere-tofore.

I must be permitted to say, if I understand the feelings of my own heart, that I have long labored to ameliorate and elevate the condition of the great mass of the American people, Toil and an honest advocacy of tbe great principles of free eovermueut have been my lot Duties have nv. Uetil 111 1 1 1 0 t. has been tbe foundation ol my political cree 3. I feel that in the end the Govern ment will triumph and that these great principles will be permanently established. In conc'usion, gentlemen, let me Bay that want your encouragement and countenance.

I shall ask and rely upon your advice In carrying the Government through its present perils. I feeL in making this request, that it will bo heartily responded by you and all other patriots and lovers the rights and interests of a free people. At tbe conclusion oi me remaras, me Presidont received the kind wishes of friends, by whom he was surrounded. A few minutes were aevoiea to conversation. All were deeply impressed with the sol emnity of tbe occasion, and the recent sad occurrence that caused the necessity for the speedy inauguration of tbe President was gravely discussea.

Mr. Johnson is in fine health, and ha an earnest sense of the important trust confided in him. Wm. Hunter, Chief Clerk In the State Department, has been appointed Acting Secretary of State. A special meetinz ot tee Cabinet wat held at the Treasury Department this morn CAPTURE OF MOBILE.

CONDITION OF FRED. SEWARD. CONDITION OF FRED. SEWARD. NEW YORK, April 16.

A private dispatch from A. Seward, Eq received to-day, states that the condition of Frederick Beward has improved since morning, and hopes are now enter tained of nit recovery. MORE PARTICULARS. NEW YORK, April 16. The special says Sec.

Seward wui recover. red oewara is sun uncon. scions; he breathes calmly ard has an easy pake, i His" head is dreadfully contused and lacerated. An invalid soldier nurse saved Mr. Seward's lite.

General Aurur has offered a leward oi $10,000 for the arrest of tbe murderer of tbe President and the assassin of the Secretary of State. Various arrests have been made of par- uet suspected of peine implicated. Home have proved their innocence, but others are held. A letter was found in Booth's which shows that the assassination was to take place about the 4tn of March and urging a postponement. It said that tbe Government officers bad become suspicious and it would be imprudent to do anything then.

It a'so advised Booth to go to Bich-naond and ascertain how such action would be regarded by the rebel government. Further disclosures are withheld for the present. Evidence sufficient hs accumulated i implicate some six different persons in the diabolical plot, all of them from this section and Maryland. -Two pairs of handcufli and a gig were found in Booth's trunk. It appears that Booth had leased a stable in an alley in tbe rear of the theatre.

He hired a horse from a livery stable in tbe afternoon, took it to the alley, and hired a servant from the lady of whom he hired tho stable to watch tbe horse while he perpetrated the ceed. Booth's mistress has attempted to commit suicide to-day. An actresB at Graver's Theatre received an anonymous note yesterday not to sing the song "Sherman's March to Sea." 1 Day before jesterd ay, Booth called upon Mr. Hess, Treasurer of rover's Theater, and ruged him to announce some new and exciting play for Friday evening and invite the President and otber officials, and get up a sensation. Tbe best data mat canoe obtained, sbowa that there were not over 6 or 10 minutes difference between the time of tbe assault on the President and Mr.

Seward, showiDg it was not done by the same person. FROM WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, April 16. corpse laid out in the White House. It is dressed in a suit of black worn by him at his late inauguration.

A placid smile rests upon his countenance, and the deceased seems to be in a calm Bleep. The corps will be laid oat ii state in the room, on Tuesday, ia order to give tbe public an opportunity to see once more the features ot him they loved so well. The catafalque upon which the body will rest is to be placed in tbe south part of the east room, and is somi- what similar in style to mat usea on ine occasion of the death of Pretidont Harris-))-. It is understood the funeral will take place on Thursday next llev. Dr.

Gurley will doubtless be officiating clergyman. The remains will be temporarily deposited in the vault of the Congressional Cemotery, and hereafter taken to Mr. Lincoln's home at Springfield, 111. Uptotnis time it nas not peeu ascer tained that the of the President has been captured. Tbe extra Mar bas the following: Developemenu nave Deen miue snowing the existence of a deep laid plot on tbe part of a gang of conspirators, including members oi tne oraer ot me nmguu ui the Golden Circlf, to murder President Lincoln and his Cabinet.

We have rea son to believe that Secretary Seward received intimations from Kurops several months since, that something ol a very desperate character was to transpire at Washineton, and it was more than prob able that it had reference to the plot of as- s'lnation. The pickets surrounding the ciy on Friday night, to prevent the escape of the rjarties who murdered President Lincoln, and attempted the assassination of Secretary Beward and his son, were fired upon at several points by concealed foes. Arrests will be promptly made. It is ascertained here, that weeks ago, the President had received several private letters warning him that an attempt would probably be made upon his life, but to this he did not attach much importance. It bas al- sravs been tbouzbt that he was not suui- ciently careful of his individual safety on his last visit to Virginia.

The following incidents of the last day of his life have beea obtained from sev eral sources. His son, Captain Liincsln, breakfasted with him on Friday morning, havine lust returned from the capitulation of Lee, and the President passed a happy hour listening to an ueutiis nuno at breatfast he heard that Speaker Colfax was in the bouse and sent word that he wished to see him immediately. He conversed with him ior nearly au hour about his future policy as to the rebellion, which he Was eDOUl so suemit me i w-r-wards he had an interview with Mr. Hale, Minister to Spain, and several Senators and Representatives. At eleven o'clock tbe Cabinet and General Grant met with him in one of the most satislaclory and important Cabinet meeting held since hia inauguration, xne iuture poncyoi me Administration was harmoniously and unanimously agreed on.

When it adjourned nr. cianion saia nj felt that the Government was stronger than at any previous periodsince the re bellion commencee. In the evening tbe President had a long and -pleasant interview with General Oglesby, Senator Yates, and other leading citizens of his State. In the evening Jar. Colfax called acain, at his request, and Mr.

Asbmnn of Massachusetts, who presided at the Chicago Con vention of l8to, was present xo mem he spoke of his visit to and when told of the uneasiness at the North, while lie was at the rebel capital, for fear that some traitor might shoot biin, he replied jocularly that he would have been alarmed if any other person had been President and gone there, but that he did not feel any danger whatever. Conversing on a matter oi Business wun Mr. Ashmun he made a remark that he saw Mr. Ashmun was surprised at, and iin- mediatelv. with his well-known kindness of heart, said "yea did not understand me, Ashmun, 1 did not meau wn you uuer-red, and I will take it all back and apologize for it He afterwards gave Mr.

Ashman a card to adroit himsell and bis friend early the next morning to converse further about it. Turning to Mr. Colfax, he said "You are going with Mrs. Lincoln and me to the theater, I But Mr. Colfax bad other engagements, expecting to loave the citv next morning.

He then said to Mr. Colfax, "Mr. csumner nas me gavni oi the Confederate Congress which he got at Richmond to hand to tne secretary of War. but I insisted then mat he must give it to you, and you tell him lor me to hand it over." HMr. Ashmun alluded to the gavel which he still had, and which he bad used at the ChiiL' Convention, and the President and Mrs.

Lincoln, who was at the time in the parlor, rose to goto the theatre; it was hail an hour auer uuie. iubj uau intended to start, and they spoke about waiting half an hour longer, for the President went with reluctance, as Genera) Grant had gone North, and he did not wish the people to be disappointed, as thev had been advertised to be there. At the door ha stopped and said: Colfax do not forget to tell the people in the mining regions, ss yon pass through there, what I toid you this morning, about developments when peace comes, and I will telegraph you at Dan rancisco. xte shook hands with both gentlemen with a pleasant good bye, and left tbe Executive Mansion never to return to it alive. Senstors Foote and Yates and Ex Repre sentative arnoia, ot Illinois, have issued a notice requesting the members of the Sen ate and House of Bepresentatives who are lu Washington, to meet at the reception rjorus of the Senate to-morrow, with a view consider what aetimr they will take in relation to tbe funeral ceremonies of the late President of the United States.

Governor Oglesby, of Illinois; to-day received by telegraph, the proceeding of the moating nt Springfield, on Saturday, with out distinction to parly, and tbe name of uie gentlemen composing it come to escort the remains of the President to the Capital ne iVi.t flui.

LEE'S LAST ORDER. Headquarters Abmt op Norttucbn VlBQiiriA, April 10, 1865. General Order No. 9. After four years ot arduous service, marked by unsurpassed courage and fortitude, the Army ot North ern Virginia has been compelled to yield to overwneiming numrjers ana resources.

I need not tell the survivors of so many hard fought battles who have remained steadfast to the lnst that I have consented' to this result from no distrust ef them, but holding that valor and devotion could accomplish nothing tbeiuould compensate for the loss that would nave attended a continuation of the content. I have determined to avoid anse-less sacrifice of those whose past vigor has endeared them to their countrymeu. By tbe terms of agreement oJleer. and men can return to their homes and remain there until they are exchanged. You will take with you the sa'iafaction that proceeds from consequences of duty fniibluliy performed, and 1 earnestly pray that a merciful God will extend to you bis blessing and protec tion.

With an increasing admiration of your constancy and devotion to your country, and a grateful remembrance of your kind and generous codsideration of myself, I bid you an affectionate farewell. R. E. LEE, General. FROM RICHMOND.

They are invited to commence their ordinary traffic at once, and are assured ot protection in passing to and fro within the lines of the United Stales forces. Citizens of Bichmond and store keepers are requested to resume their ordinary avocations as speedily as possible. It is tbe wish ol the military authorities to protect all good, and peaceable citizens.

Anothor order has been issued by General Ord as follows: All officers and soldiers of the army of Northern Virginia who were not present at tbe surrender or that army by General Lee, at Appomatox Court House, on the 9th of April, leoi, are hereby informed that terms of capitulation are extended to them, and that they can at once avail themselves of the same by coming within the lines of the United States forces at or near Richmond, laying down their aims, and receiving their paroles. The ganliemen wao communicate the above information, say Lee did- net, after tbe surrender, repair to North Carolina, but has been remainir at Appomattox Court House, to carry out the terms of cap itulation. It is supposed that by this time he i in Richmond, General Grant having tendered to him tbe courtesy of an escort of 100 cavaliymen. Tbe best possible feeling exists between the two Generals.

Nothing bas been heard from Johnston's army, but it is the impression that it will be disbanded or men away Dy desertion, provided a spirit to conciliate the discord ant elements be manifested a wise policy to win tick the people. The Bichmond Whig of Saturday says, Colonel Loomis, Assistant Special Treasury Agent, is expected in that city every day with instructions, and that until his arrival no captured properly coming under an act of Congress authorizing tbe treasury to take charge of it will be permitted to be removal. FROM SHERMAN. FORTRESS MONROE, April 14. By an arrival here to-day, from Wilmington, N.

intelligence is received that Sherman took up his line of march northward from Goldsboro last Monday. A large amount of supplies have been sent through the Dismal Swamp canal, in barges, and around the capes in steamers for the use of his army. The steamer George Leary which arrived from City Point, Va this afternoon, brings down a rumor of she surrender of Johnston to Gen. Sherman: but it needs confirmation. CONDITION OF THE SEWARDS.

nt. To Major Oeneral Dix The President continues insensible and ia sinking. Secretary Seward remains without changa. Frederick Seward's skull is fractured in two places, beside a severe cut on the head. Major Seward's wound is not dangerous.

It ia now ascertained with reasonable certainty that two assassins were engaged in the horrible crime, Wilkes Booth being the one that shot the President, and the other a comptnion of his, whose name is known, but whose description is so clear that he can bardly escape. It appears from a letter found in Booth's trunk, that the murder was planned before the 4ih of March, but fell through because the accomplice backed oat until Bichmond could heard from. Boe.th and his accomplice were at the livery stable at six o'clock last evening and left there with thoir hones about ten, or shortly before that hour. It would seem that they had for several days been seeking their chance, but for some unknown reason il was cot carrii into effect till last night One of them has evidently made hi way to Baltimore. The otber has not yet been traced.

ANDREW JOHNSON SWORN IN AS PRESIDENT. WASHINGTON, April M. Andrew Johnson was sworn into office as President of tbe United States to-day bv Chief Justice Uhase at, 11 clock, gec- fetary McCulloch, Attorney General Speed and others were present He remarked "Theduties are mine; 1 will perform them trusting in MORE PARTICULARS OF THE HORRIBLE DEED. WASHINGTON, April 15. The aasar ssin of the President left behind hi hat an a spar.

The hat was found in tbe President's box, and has been identified by parts' to whom it has been shown, aa the one belonging to tbe suspected man, and accurately described by other parties not allowed to see it before describing it Tbe spur ws dropped upon the stage, and that, also has been identified as the one proenret 1 at a stable, where the same man hired a bone in the evening. Two jntlemen who went to the Secretary cf War to apprise him of the attack on Mr. Liccoln met at the residence of the termer a man muffled in a cloak, who, when accosted by them hastened away. It had been Mr. Stanton' intention to accompany Mr.

Liacoln to the theatre and occupy the same box, but the pressure of business prevented it There-tore, it teem evident that the aim of tbe plotters was to paralyse tbe country by at once striking down the head, the heart and arm of the country. As soon, as the dreadful event were announced in the streets, Superintendent Bichards and bis assistants were at work to discover the assassin. In a few moments the telegraph bad aroused the whole police force of tho city, i Mayor Wallack and several members of tbe city government were soon on the spot, and every precaution was taken to preserve order and quiet in tbe city. Every street in the city was patrolled at the request of Mr. Bichard.

General Augur sent horses to mount the Police, and every road leading out of Washington was slrorjgly picketed, and every possible avenue of escape wag thoroughly guarded. Steamboats about to depart down the Potomac were stopped. Tbe Daily Chronicle says as it is suspected that tins conspiracy originated in Maryland. A preliminary examination was made by Messrs. Bichards and bis assistants.

Several persons were called to testify, and the evidence as elicited before an informal tribunal, and not under oath, was conclusive to this point The murderer of President Lincoln was John Wilkes Booth. His hat was found -in the private box and identified by several persons who had seen him within the last two days, and ihe spur which he dropped by accident, after he jumped to the stage, was identified as one of those which be bad obtained from the stable where he hired his horse. This man Booth has played more than once at Ford's Theater, and is of course, acquainted with the exit id entrances, and the facility with which he escaped behind the scenes is easily understood. The person who attacked Secretary Seward, left behind him a slouched hat and an old rusty Navy revolver. The chambers were broken loose from the barrel aa if done by striking.

The loads were drawn fiom the chambers, one being but a rough piece of lead, and the other balls, smaller than the chambers, were wrapped in paper, as if to keep them rom falling out THE PRESIDENTS DEATH. WASHINGTON, A M. says: the President breathed his last, causing his eyes as if falling to sleep, and his counte-nai ce assuming an expression of perfect serenity. There were no indications of pain, and it was not known that he was dead until the gradually decreasing respiration ceased altogether. The Bev.

Dr. Gurley, of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, immediately on its being ascertained that life was extinct, knelt at the bed side and cfiertd an impressive prayer, which was responded to by all paesent Dr. Gurley then proceeded to the front parlor where Mrs. Lincoln, Captain Bobert Lincoln, Mrs. no.

Hay, the private and others, were waiting, when he again offered a prayer for the consolation of the family. Immediately after tbe president's death a Cabinet meeting was called by Secretary Stanton, and held in the room in which the corpse lay. Secretaries Stanton, Welles, and Usher, Port rr aster General Dennison and Attorney General Speed, were present The results of the conference are yet unknown. Beports prevail that Mr. Frederick W.

Seward, who was kindly assisting the nursing of Secretary eward, received a stab in the back. His shoulder blade prevented the knife or dagger from penetrating into his body. The prospects are that he will recover. A report was circulated, repeated by almoet everybody, tbat Booh was captured 15 miles this tide of Baltimore, and if it be true, as assert, that the War Department has received such information, it will doubt-lets be promulgated officially. The Gov- ernment Departments are closed, and will be draped with emblems of mourning.

The roads leading to and from the city are guarded by military, and the utmost circumspection as to all persons attempting to enser or leave tne city. ashingtok, April 15. The President's body was removed from the private resi dence opposite Ford's Taeatre to the Executive Mansion, this morning, at 9:30, in a hearse and wrapped in the American Hag. It was escorted by a small guard of cavalry. General Augur and other officers followed on foot A dense crowd accompanied the remains to the White House where a military guard excluded the crowd, allow ing none bat persons cf the household and personal friends ol the deceased to enter the premises.

Sentor I ales and farnr- worth were among the number. The body is beingembalmed with a view to its removal to Illinois. About twelve o'clock last night two men crossed the Anacosta Bridge, one of whom gave his name as sooth and the other as Smith; the latter is believed to be John Surratt Last night riderless hcrse was found which has been identified bv the nronrio- tor of one of the stables previously mentioned, as having been hired from his estab lishment. Accounts are conflicting as to whether Booth crossed the bridge on horse back oron foot But as it is believed that he rode across it is presumed that he had ex changed his horse. From information in the possession of tbe authorities, it is evident that the scope of the plot was intended to be much more comprehensive.

The ice resident and other promi nent membars of the administration, were particularly inquired lor by suspected antes, and their precise localities accurately obtained, but providentially, in tbeir case, the scheme miscarried. A boat was at once sent down the Potomac to nrtiiy the gun boats on the river of the dreadful crime, in order that all possible means should be aken for the arrest of the perpe- rtators. xne most complete precautions have been taken. It is not believed tba culprits will long succeed in evading the over-taking arm of justice. NEW YORK, April 15.

The Post's Washington special sev Mr. Hansell, the Messenger of the State I'e-partment, who was in attendance npon Mr. Seward, is dead. It is reported that Booth was captured this morning. The story is that his horsa threw him and injured him so severely thai he was ooiigea to sees: relief in a house on the Seventh street road.

Frederick's skull is fractured badly In two places above the temple, and he is insensi ble, ana 1 tear wui die. His brothers wounds are very slight The Secretary's throat would have been cat if he had not rolled out of bed. Lateb The doctor says Frederick's condition is critical but not hopeless.
