STANTON, Secretary of War. Associated Press Report. SHOOTING OF BOOTH. NEW YORK, April 28. It appears by the Herald's account Uolonel baker sent Uol tJongffr ana Lieut.

Baker of his detectives, with Lieut. Doherty of his cavalry in parpuit of Booth and Harrold. On reaching Garrett's farm they were told by a son of Garrett that two men were in the barn. This was at 2 o'clock on Wednesday morning. Proceeding to the barn, Lieut.

Baker was sent forward and called upon Booth to come out and give up his arms, and surrender, and that young Garrett would go into the barn to receive the arms. When tbe boy entered the barn, Booth ezclbimed to him: "Get out of here, you have betrayed me." A colloquy then ensued, of which the following is the tut lance Lieut. Baker "You give up your arms and surrender we have come to lake you prisoner and will treat you as a prisoner. We will cive you five minutes to surrender, or we will burn tbe barn." ho are you, ana wnai ao you want?" Instructions had been given to Lieut. Biker not to disclose the character of those who were in pursuit.

Lieut, Baker "We want you we intena to take you prisoner." Booth "Ibis is a bard case; it may De that I am to be taken by my friends." After some further colloquy ot tnis sort, Booth, seemingly convinced that be was in the foils ot Federal soldiers, said "Give me chance for my life; I am a cripple, with one leg. Withdraw your men one hundred yards trom the barn and I will come out and fight you." Baker "we aia noi come here to light, but to take you prisoner. You must give up your arms and surren der." Booth "Let me have time to consider." A conversation in the barn between Booth and Harrold then took place which was not overheard by the party ouUide. In about fifteen or twenty minutes Booth called out, "Who are you? I could have picked off half a dozen ot your men while we were talking. 1 could have shot you two or three times, but 1 don't want to kill anybody." Lieutenant Baker "Then give up your arms and surrender.

We have come to take you." Booth "I will never surreuder; I will never be taken alive." Lieutenant Baker "If you don't do so immediately we will set fire to the barn." Booth "Well, my brave boys, prepare stretcher for me." After this a conversation took place between Booth and Harrold, during which Booth was beard to say, "You damned coward, will you leave me now? But go, go; I don't want you to stay with me." He then addressed tbe party and said There is a man here who wants to come out." Lieut. Baker Then let him hand out his arms and oome out." Another talk here occurred between Booth and Harrold, in whiiih it appeared that the latter was begging to be allowed to take out some arms ilh him, and Booth was heard to say, Go away from me, I don't want anything more to do with you." Harrold then came to tbe door and asked to be let out. Lieut. Baker said, No, hand out your arms." Harrold replied, "I have none." Lieut, Baker Yes you have you carried a carbine when you came here; you mart hand it out." Booth He has no arms, lhay are all mine. Upon my word as a gentleman he has no arms.

Ail that are hme belong to me." Lieut. Baker then approached the door, Harrold thrust out his hands and was pulled from the door, tied tnd placed in charge of a guard. Colonel Conger was then satisfied that further parley with Booth was vain, and proceeding to the other side of the barn, he pulled out a whisp of hay and lighted it. Within a few moments tbe blazing hay lighted up the whole of tbe barn. Booth was discovered leaning on a crutch which he threw aside and with a carbine in his hand came towards the side where the fire had been kindled, paused and looked at the fire a moment and then started towards the door.

When about the middle of the barn he was shot. Then Colonel Conger and Baker at once entered tbe barn and brought Booth out. After identification by the War Department the body was properly covered in the clothing which was upon it. The Herald's correspondent says the parley with Booth lasted a long time; that Booth told Lieutenant Doheny be had a a bead drawn on him and could shoot him if he chote. That Booth could see those outside plainly while they could not see mm insiae; tnat when the tire was lighted Booth could be seen and then Lieutenant Dougherty ordered Sergeant Corbett to nre, wmcn ne aid through one oi we crev ices.

Booth was armed with two six bar reled and one seven barrel revolver. When the party started to return with the body, Harrold refused to walk, woen rope was fastened to his neck and the other end of it was fastened to the saddle ol one of the cavalry men. As soon as a horse iwnld be procured, he was mounted. The World's correspondent says it learned that lla rjld joined Booth just after the assss sination, and it is believed brought the hone into the alley. The following is the statement of Per.

geant Bjston Corbetl: Jn Tuesday P. my superior officer, Col. Doherty, received information that two persons answering to tbe description of Booth and his accomplice Harrold, were concealed in a' barn on the plscs of Henry Garrett, about three miles from Port Koyal, in tbe direction of Bowling Green. They then captured a man named Jelt, who ferried Booth and his companion across the Potomac At first denied knowing about the matter, but when threatened with death if he did not reveal the spot where the artassins were secreted, be told us where they could be found and piloted us to tbe place. and Harrold reached the barn about dusk on Tuesday evening.

The barn was at once surrounded by our cavalry, and some of our party engaged in conversation with Booth from tbe outeide. He was oommanded to surrender several times, but made no reply to the demand, save that "it you want me you must take me. When first asked to surrender, he asked "Who do yoa take me for A short time after, in response to the question as to wnetner tnere was anybody else with him in the barn, he slated that he was the only person in tbe building that his companion Harrold had taken another direction, and was Deyond the reach of capture. At three o'clock or a little after, the barn was fired. Before the Mimes were kindled Booth bad the advantage of us in respect to light.

He could see us but we could not see him. But after that the tables were turned againet him. We could see him plainly, but could not be seen by him. The names appeared to contuse hi.u, una he made a spring forward to the dcor, as it to attempt to work his way out. As he passed byonecf the crevices I fired at Lim: I aimed at nis body, did not want to kill him I took deliberate aim at his shoulders, but my aim was too high.

Tbe ball struck him in the head just below the right ear. and passing through came out about an inch above the left ear. I think he stop ped to pick up something just as I fired, and that may probably account for bis receiving the ball in the head. I was not over eight or ten yards distant from him when 1 bred. 1 was afraid that it I did not wouFd him ho would kill some of our men.

Af.er be wss wounded I went into the barn. Booth was lying in a reclining DotitionontheOcor. I asked him. "Where are you wounded?" Ue replied in a feeble voice, his eye beaming wuh a pc-culiar brilliancy, "In tte head, you have rin sncd me. ll was then carried out of tne burning buildicg into the optn air, where he died about two houis afterwards.

About an hour bofore be breathed his last he prayed for us to Ebout him through tbe heart. His sufferings were intense. Al though hemigbt havo killed f-vurnlof our party, he seemed to be afraid to fire. Mine was the only shot on eiUer side. Wben he fell he had in his hand a six-barreled revolver, and at his feet ws King a seven shooter, which he dropped after he was wounded.

1 wo otber revolvers were found near him. He declared that the arms be longed to him, and that Harrold had noth ing to do with the murder. We gave him bran by. and four men went in search tf a doctor, who was found about four miles away, but when be arrived Booth was dy ing, ue aid not talk much after receiving is wound. Wben asked if he had any thing to say, he replied, "I die for my country," and asked these standing by to tell hn mother so.

He diu not deny his crime. STEAMER BLOWN UP. CAIRO, April 28. The steamer Sultana, from liew Orleans on the evening of the 21st, arrived at Vicksburg with her boilers leaking badly. ribe remamed in Vic kaburg thirty hours repairing, taking on board 1,996 Federal solciers and 35 officers, lately released from Cahawba and Andersonville orisons.

She arrived at Memphis last evening, and after coaling proceeded up the river. When about seven miles abova Memphis she blew up, immediately taking fire and burning to the waters edge. Of 2,156 souls on board not more tban 700 have been rescued. Five hundred of the rescued are in the hcspitals, and about 200 of the uninjured at the Soldi -r1 Home. Captain Mason, of the Sultana, is supposed to be lost.

At 4 o'clock morning the river in front of Memphis was covered wiih soldiers struggling for life. Many were badly scalded. Boats immediately went to their rescue. They are still engaged in picking tbem up. General Wasnburne immediately organized a board of officers to investigate tbe affair, and are now at work doing to.

No further prticulars have been received. EXPECTED INVASION OF MISSOURI EXPLOSION. ST. LOUIS, April 28. Reports prevail that a force of from six to twelve thousand rebels, comprising the remnants ol Jeff Thompson's and Joe Shelby's commands, are at Pocahontas, Ark, preparing for an invasion of Missouri.

Large numbers of people are leaving the southwestern portion of the State in consequence. Xhree regiments have been sent down the river. A telegram has been received by the military authorities, from New Madrid, which states that the tteamer Sultana, with two thousand paroled prisoners on board, had exploded. Fourteen hundred lives were lost, su FROM FORTRESS MONROE. FORTRESS MONROE, April 24.

Intelligence was received this noon oi the destruction of the schooner Ocean Herald, loaded with forage, this morning, off the mouth of Warwick river, eighteen miles from tnis place. The schooner was set on fire by some of Lee's army. This morning, one of the wharves here, with a large quantity of ordnance stores on it, was discovered on fire. It was soon put out. The fire was attributed to some of these paroled prisoners.

A strong guard has been placed over all the Goverament stores. I The Tribune's special from the blacks and whitf station beuth Side railroad of April the 25ih says: Some bushwhacking is boing done along the line of the South Side railroad. Cip-tain Negley of the 1st regiment 3d division, 6ih corps is supposed to have been taken in this way. He went out to visit the pickets on the 24th and did not return at night To-day he is missing and it only can be inferred thflt he is in the hands of bushwhacker. Some other men of tbe 5th corps have beentaken in this way and our officers declare tnat it things become at ail serious that they will put a stop to it in a summary manner, by burning the home along the line of the road.

BOOTH'S BODY. WASHINGTON, April 28. The excitement which prevailed in this city yesterday has considerably suMided. While all regret that tbe assassir, owing to the rahness of the soldiers engaged in capture, was not taken alive, they at the same time felt grateful that tbe murderer vl the penalty of his crimo. Bad he been brought to the Washington navy yard alive, nothing could have withstood the fury of the excited congregated thous and.

What disposition wss made of Booth's body after the autopsy upon it, it is impossible to ascertain, but that a fitting dispo sal, in keeping with his ignominious char-actor wss made, is certain. Harold, who has exhibited great skicism since his capture, now appears to realize tne awful position in which he is placed, and through the day he has given way to frequent weeping. He is quite young. His appearance would indicate him to be not over twenty, gome time ago he was an applicant for tbe position of Surgeon's steward in the Potomac flotilla, but was unsuccessful. VARIOUS ITEMS.

NEW YORK, April 28. The Commercial's Washington special savs Ihe vaults of tbe armer a Bank in Kichmond have been opened and tbe con tents found undisturbed. A Cabinet meeting to-day considered the international questions likely to arise from the conspiracy, which is alleged to have extensive ramifications. President Johnson was loudly cheered this morning while passing through the streets. Booth's body has been placed where it will never be seen by mortal eyes again.

The Poets special says: A Pennsylvania delegation headed by commirsioner Lewis called on the President, making tbe most radical address yet delivered. Tbe President replied repeating his nviction that the rebel leaders should be punished and the masses of the people for' given. becretary Reward and ton are doing well. FROM GRANT. FORTRESS MONROE, April 27.

A steamer arrived here this morning from Morehoad City bringing advices from Vewbern that General Grant hag effectu ally put an end to the armistice agreed upon between Sherman ana jonnston. urant had given Johnston up to six o'clock yesterday (Wednesday) to surrender his army. The conditions are unknown. General Grant announced that after that hour hostilities would be at once resumed. To this General Johnston is sail to have replied that if Jefferson Davis and the leading general officers of the Confederacy were pardoned and permission given tbem to leave tbe country, he would be author- zed to accept tbe terms proposed.

SUICIDE. BALTIMORE, April 28. A well known citizen com mitted suicide last Monday night, a short di-tance from this place, by shooting him-te with a pistol. No cause could be assigned for Luis rasb. act, except that he had recently seemed depressed and melancholy.

ubsequent events has induced the suspi cion that be wis in some way implicated in the recent conspiracy, and last igbt the bedy was exhumed, embalmed and snt to Washington by order of the government. The affair has caused much peculation, and there are many reports in connection weil as some facts it deemed imprudent to publish at present. FORM DAYTON. CINCINNATI, April 28.

VERDICT GRANTED. BOSTON April 28. A suit brought by Sturte- vant, for illegal arrest and imprisonment, which has been on tiitl here for some days, in the Superior Court, closed this morning, the jury rendering a verdict in favor of Mr Sturteyant for $32,500.

At tbe breaking out of tbe war, Mr. Slurtovant was doing business in New Orleans, end before his coming North was arrested and lodged In jtil, upon charges disloyalty preferred against him by Mr. Allen. GOLD. NEW YORK, April 28.

Gold continues weak. The speculative fueling is dull, and the demand is chiefly confined to Custom House purposes. The possibility of a severe cotton panic occur ring, incident upon the news of the close the wir, produces an expectation that some of the gold balance sent from the United slates to during the war for supposed greater safety, will be drawn home again, producing an inffux ot specie a consequent decline in the premium gold. 7-30 S. PHILADELPHIA, April 28.

Jay Cooke reports subscriptions to the 30 loan to-day at $4,153,500. The largest bcri ptions 100,000 from Ciocinn ali 100,000 from Baltimore, $300,000 trom ew York, $2 0,000 from Boston, and $200,000 from Syracuse. Individual sub scriptions numbered 290. TIME CHANGED. SPRINGFIELD, April 28.

At the Stock Exchange there was a strong effort made to break the Railroad list which was quito succcessfuX The mar- kot wss heavy throughout the call, and un der the continued pressure to sell, it was heivy. After the Board session was over there was an upper tendency in the price, it tbe murket did not reach the figures of yesterday.

The fall wag the result of A combination on the part ot the bears. Tnere is a strong feeling among inves tors in favor of this class of securities. No disposition is shown to sell at present quo. tations. State stocks and iUilroad bonds ars steady.

Bank stocks are active. Miscellaneous and Coal shares were gen erally steady. At the last Board there was panicky feeling, with a heavy decline in the price. The gold market is heavy and dull on account of the surrender of Johnston. Wall street men appear to consider the speculations on military news about ended.

Operations to-day were very small. Mosey is abundant with but little demand. Petroleum stocks dull and lower. REWARD FOR JEFF. DAVIS.

REWARD FOR JEFF. DAVIS. NEW YORK, April 28. Grosbeck of this city, offer 000 towards the recovery of one Jeff. Davis, a fugitive from justice.

The Times says that a German named George Spugstein hat taken the assassination of President Lincoln to heart to deeply that he attempted to commit suicide last ever, in g- The Tribune, commenting on Secretary Stanton's order to commanders in the field, not to regard Sherman's armistice, says that tbe inevitable inferencs is that Sherman has been superceded or that the Secretary of War means to make him re sign. It is very plain that commandors in the field whose subordinates were publicly notified to disregard his orders cannot long retain with self respect or even be re tained in his past position. J. WILKES BOOTH. The Commercial Advertiser's Washing ton apecial says there are reasons for believing Booth was affiance! to an estima ble lady in New York.

It is certain there is no ground for the rumor that he had won the affections of the daughter of a promi nent New England Senator; there was nothing more than a drawing room ac quaintance between the parties. On Booth's person was found a diary in which he had recorded the events of his flight, and other matters calculated to confirm his guilt connected with therebel gov- ernment. There was also found in his pockets sterling exchange, obtained in Can ada last October, where the diabolica't plot was doubtless arranged. MRS. LINCOLN AND FAMILY.

Since tbe departure of the remains of her husband on their last journey, Mrs. Lincoln has become calm, but finds it im possible at times to regard her loss with resignation, ao heavy, so unexpected a blow. President Johnson has urged her not to hasten her departure from the White House, and she will remain there until the close of May, when it is her present intention to locate herself in Chi cago. Her eldest son, Captain Lincoln, proposes to study law in that city, where Master Thaddens can en jiy excellent edu cational advantages. The same letter says it was fortunate for the republic that General Grant was here when the intelligence of Gen.

Shorman's blunder reached President Johnson, and that he left so promptly to convey the disapproval of the Chief Magistrate. It may be that his presence will be re quired in North Carolina for awhile, but President Johnson desires him to return here at the earnest possible day, and remain here second in command ol tb armies of the United Slates.

A successful surgical operation was performed on Secretary Seward's jaw this afternoon in presence of several eminent surgeons. The Secretary is rec jvering rapidly from his injuries and rides out each day in company with his fan ily physician. THE BODY OF COL. KELLEY. The body of Colonel Kelley, Chief Commissary of General Sherman's command, who died at City Point, Wednesday, of pneumonia, arrived here to-day en route to the friends of the deceaced in theNortb.

A 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 car-cat the honor of meeting the public gaze, and it will probably bo deposited in what ever place promises the most utter obscuri ty. Yesterdty a photographic view of the body was taken before it was removed frcin the monitor. It was then placed on an ordinary gray army blanket, in which it was sewed up. A plain ba.ket shaped box, measuring six feet by two, had been previously made in a joiner's shop for the remains, but was net used. OFFICIAL ORDER.

THE FUNERAL PAGEANT.

The City Draped la Mourning. AST CROWDS PEOPLE. Arrival of tbe Remains. WONORS PAID THERETO. THE PROCESSION.

SOLEMN R3LI3I0C3 SERVICES. Ike Body Lying in State. APPEARANCE OP THE CORPSE. Sorrow and Devotion of tho People. Testorday was among the most memorable and historic ever known to tbe city of Cleveland.

The occasion itself, the preparations for and the ceremonial attending it, the vast throng of spectators that gathered to obaarve It, the universal grief and moarning which it called forth, combined to ronder tbe day most memo rable for Badness, solemnity and sublimity. The greatest and beet man of the whole nation, the savior of the country from the perils of the moat gigantic treason in tbe annals of history, holding the highest office in the gift of the people, was dead, and not only dead, but foully murdered by a traitorous assas sin in the very summit of his glory, at the threshold of a second term of office, to which he had been chosen by the suffrages of a grateful people, and in which he hoped to reap the fruit of the suffering and sacrifices of his first administration. A sorrowing people, mourning a loss which all felt most bitterly, were following him to his grave among the prairies, with every dem onstration of grief and woe. Cleveland had become one of the stations in this great funeral procession, and yesterday was for a short time the depository of the mortal re mains of the dead President, Such was the occasion that wrapped our city in sombre weeds, and drew to it, by thousands and tens of thousands, the people of the surrounding country. THE CITY IN MOURNING.

Tho symbols of sorrow and grief which have draped the city in darkness since the announcement of the President's death, Were increased ten-fold yesterday. Beautiful, tasteful and costly decorations, all most mournfully expressive, hung over the door of almost every private house and covered the front of almost every business block. When all were thus mindful of the proprieties of the occasion it would be invidi ous in us to particularize in our praise. The universality of the moarning was equally remarkable with its elegance and appropri ateness. Nut only the dwellings 01 tne rich and the big business blocks thus wore the emblems of woe, but the houses of the poor, all bore some modest badge of mourning.

The whole people mourned when Abraham Lincoln died. IN THE EARLY MORNING. Cleveland never woke earlier than on vesterdjy morning. By day-break the streets were alive with people and present ed a stirring aspect quite unwonted at the hour. On the business thoroughfares men were engaged in completing the drapery of mourning upon the fronts of houses and blocks.

Comp-inioi) if the 2'JihO. N. with bayonets glistening in the level sunbeams, were marching to the place of rendezvous on street, vivio associations ana organizations, with banners and regalias, turned their faces in the ssme direc tion. Here and there migbt be seen a unely mounted and red-scarfed Marshal of the Cay, riding leisurely to his duties. Bands, playing slow and solemn airs, pass ed along the streets.

The sidewalks were crowded with the throng of early risers, hurrying to the various points along tbe shore cf the L'ka, commanding a view of the railroad, and to THE UNION DEPOT. At this pjiat, ts in fact at every eligible location from which could be obtained view of tbe expected funeral train, li'g-f crowds had gathered. Hence, at half after five a. the committee appointed by the Mayor to meet the train at Euclid had takou lis departure in aspecial train. The com u.itu.0 an-t the funerul train at the point rieigaated aud returned with it.

VISITORS TO THE CITY. At en es.r'y hour every road leading to the city wss thronged with vehicles. The whole surrouadinj country; emptied itaell into Cleveland. Special trains were run on all the railroads centering in this city, and thousands to-jk this opportunity of behold- ng the pageant. Tue Detroit boat had broughtdown alarge delegation.

Some 30t porsous came up from Meadville, and every h.iU-1 in the city was full to overflowing with guests.aud many were unable to obtain bods. By nine M. yesterday the streets were crowded and the Square fullto overflowing with peo" pie. ARRIVAL OF THE TRAIN. gine and car made their appearance, announcing the near approach of tbe train itself, and punctually at the arrival of the hoar the funeral train appeared.

It was drawn by tho engine Case," heavily draped in white and black, and consisted one baggage car; three sleeping cars; three new and handsome cars, furnished by the line between Buffalo and Columbus the funeral car, which belongs to the United States, and is most magnificently fitted op and draped with black, with sil ver fringe and an elegant car, belonging the management of the Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington line, and occu pied by the Guard of Honor. The whole train, being draped havily and tastefully with white and black trimmings, present ed a striking and suggestive appearance. The train was stopped, the engine Case detached, and the C. P. engine "Dispstch," which was shrouded with black on the sides, and almost covered with trimmings of black and white attached.

Almost without a moment's pause, and certainly with no formality or ceremonial, this transfer was effected, and soon the train moved away, on the Pittsburgh track, for Euclid Station. AT EUCLID STREET STATION. station at 7.20 A. M. At it approached the station a national salute of thirty-six guna was fired.

The train, which consist! of was stopped at a point leaving the funeral car nearly across the public road. Tbe depot was hang with black cloth and tha national colors draped, and a craped flag was suspended from a cord stretched across the road. The Military Guard of Honor, consisting of members of the Veteran Reserve Corps who accompany the remains, was immediately drawn np areand th hearse car, sight of there holding themaelvee in readiness to carry the coffin to the hearse stationed few yardt distant, while the rest flanksd the military pall-bearers on either side, with swords drawn to the remains. On either side of the military guard stood the special Guard of Hon or, composed of Generals in the United States service, on one part, and of over-aor Brougn and staff, with the civie pallbearers and leading members of various Committees, on the other. The military Guard of Honor took the coffin upon their shoulders and moved slowly and solemnly to the hearse, attended by their associates with drawn swords, as tha 'amp Chase Band, stationed in front of the depot, pi jed a dirge.

The hearse presented a splendid appearance. Its floor wss covered with beautiful white flowers which relieved theiombrenessof plames and draped flags with which it was surmounted. The drapery was black velvet looped up with rosettes, in the center of each a silver star. The hearse was drawn by six pare white horses, all appropriately decorated, and each attended by a colored groom, wearing badges of mourning. The following gentlemen acted as Pa' I Bearers: Ex-Gov.

C. Diven, Gen. R. P. Back-land, Hon.

H. B. Payne, Judge H. V. Will-ion, Hon.

The coffin hav ug been placed in the hears-, a beautiful cross wrought of whit flowers was placed apon the head and foot of the same. The military Guard of Honor formed around the hearse, which, preceded by the Camp Chase Band, moved off slowly on Willson Avenue, followed by the Pall Bearers on either flank, and by theaGuard of Honor, mounted. Tha 29th O. N. waa drawn up in line, with arms reversed, and saluted tbe hearse and Guard as they pasted.

The cortege was met at Prospect street by the Civie Guard of Honor, when it turned back to Eeclid street, and constituted the head of the procession which waa formed according to the programme by Colonel Barnett, Chief Marshal, and hia Aids. THE PROCESSION. As the magnificent cortege moved slowly and solemnly down Euclid street, led by tha band playing a funeral march, the vast crowds of people of both sexes and of all ages and conditions, who had packed th vast area about. the depot, eager and reverent spectators of the grand pageant, began a general movement down the broad, beautiful avenue. We have never seen a better mannered crowd, or a procession conducted throughout with such consummate precision and order.

This was in part owing to the capital police arrangement, bat still more largely due to the sympathetic spirit of the spectators, which, would not allow them to run into any boisterous or selfish manifestations.
