V. F. BttYAHM SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 22, 1865 If ATlOIf AE. AFFLICTION. "Twice before in the history of the Nation bare the people been called upon to mourn 'e death of their President. President arrison and President Taylor were both! led away by aeatn(aoon aitr j.n ; tmau ationl These men" were jrrpe in years full f honors. They went down to I then, graves good and great men, beloved and honored. They were removed from the arduous labors of Chief Magistrate of a grea Nation by the ordinary dispensations of di vine Providence. In the course of human J events they sickened and died, surrounded by their families and friends, in the full con sciousness of approaching dissolution qui etly melted away from the galaxy of noble men into the immortality of the future. The Nation was at peace and no disturbing ele ments howled round the land. The Nation mournad their deaths, but that mourning was modified in humble submission to the will of God. In the present case the Na tional affliction is much more oppressive. President Lijcoln was called to the Maj- estacy at th aiist important crisis in the history of the Jtountry. He administered, the Government in the most troubled and tnziety we feel m contemplating in all its 'earings that horrid crime -the murder of ur President. -t CONSPIRATORS, The assassin nation of the President and! r- a . . . 1 Till a. . J .secretary was Deyono. au aouDt tne worK or conspirators. The manner, the place, the time, that the President was shot and the Secretary stabbed, with all the accompany ing circumstances leave no room for doubt on that head. That it was from political consideration, is equally, obvious. It is t question of vast moment what peculiar polit ical considerations prompted this act and! how far the conspiracy extends. Were these assassins some Southern men, whose bust ness, property, and perhaps domestio rela tions had been broken up that sought this in revenge to take the lives of these two! most prominent men in the prosecution of the war to put down rebellion: Was itl from menrvbo sought office; and failed to get,1 MU2- aaviag Uad, either civil or military, had: been dismissed, who sought envy in this The mind of an intelligent man will way ; hardly so believe without the strongest pos sible testimony. There may have been in kind about Washington City a set of high blooded rebels at heart, who in view of the fact that the Southern Confederacy was crushed, and any furthur probability of sue cess hopeless, determined to seek their ven geance against the Government by assassin ating these two men : determined that Mr Lincoln and Mr. Seward should not enjoy: the honors of having put down the rebell ion, and that these assassins were the select ed agents of carrying it into execution.

The assassination of the President and Secretary could not have been the result of a combination in volving any man of clear head, with the best interest of the South in view. Apart from the enormity of the crime, which we have no words to express, it was the worst possi bla thing that could have been done for the South. The Government for self preserva tion will have to ignore much of what has been heretofore called State rights. This act of these two desperadoes, under all the purroundtngs, will do more to cehtralize , power in the Executive than every other act ."nce the rebellion Druko oat. 1 the people will feel that the Government must DO sustained, ana taai tne spirit oi re bellion must be put down. In the further prosecution of the war, if it should be waged for years, that leniency heretofore characteristic of the Government, will be abandoned and stern and perhaps vindictive justice substituted in its place. The great Northern heart is so aroused that the sword will have to do much that public sentiment was about to do, in restoring peace to eur bleeding country. If the Government is able to put down the rebellion on principles of sheer justice, unmixed with mercy, it will be apt now to do so. 'Very little consiaera. tion will be had for the chivalry of the South. Shell and shot at the mouth of the can nc now will thunder against the totter ing, falling forts of rebeldom with terrible vengeance. The torch and fagot will lay in ashes many millions worth of property that would have been spared ; and it is to be feared that the spirit of retaliation and re yeoge will run so wild that many a family aks, mob w fcj'JL xtj JEteL r. revolted fc itea ouid destrtY the rresvtenti ngnnr iinMnra : . im run tiuicui K ill al . - " " " w.jf.""' - W3f -r cideat orcttuaUy, but murderoufily and at ami of the Federal Capital. There may not have been five men implicated in the murder. It may have originated down in Virginia or South Carolina, and have been much larger than that Was it the result of wide combinations in the South ? Did Davis and Lee and the dis tinguished men in the South originate it ? did they connive at it this, worst of all crimes rebellions ? Is this the sentiment in the South ? That there has moved the Southern mind from the beginning of this trife a deep hatred to the Yankees, all know ; and that that hatred has been aggravated as the war swept on, and intensified as it was like to culminate Thousands of men soattfr'-id tbroujrh the; iieas and- Government too it they could ; but would the leading minds of the South connive at an act, for baseness and criminality unpar alleled in the history of human crime ? Cer tainly we cannot believe that tbey would Wrong to the highest degree in the rebell ion as they have been, yet they have fought' too bravely on a thousand fields to be com petent to such cowardly deeds as these. The circumstances would rather incline us to the believe that this conspiracy came from Virginia. " Sic semper tyrannis " may this ever be the fate of tyrants th words the assassin used when he jumped on to the stage while flourishing a large knife over his head, in the face of the crowded au dience, just after he had inflicted what he knew to be a mortal wound on the Presi dent, are the classic motto of the State of Virginia. This would naturally turn our eyes to Virginia seeking vengeance for her prostration. Some defiant, reckless Virgini an we conjecture perpetrated this deed. Another thought however the great body of the revolted States will look upon this as the most atrocious act on record, is it, or is at not the legitimate result of the rebellion ?! Destroy the Government or rule with slavery and to this end secede, organize another Government, inaugurate revolution, fight to the death, has evidently been the sentiment and feeling of the South. Failing in this, base men, and thousands there are, will eek io carry on the wsjr with the weapons of an assassin. If they cannot overthrow tho Government founded in the popular voice, they can at least murder the officers of the Government, and thus everlastingly keep the Nation in mourning and trepeda tion. sition, with such men as these conspirators, would murder every Gov ernment official in the land. What public officer will be safe for a moment, after this, if that spirit should actuate the rebels edness and folly of rebellion against a Co1 .flrnnie t founded nn iinivnrR.il llortv iio-.Jjif- "-f'moivi" jt-'-t-c-B- from the horizon, and the din', of battle wVJt. soon bjp hushed in our glorious country.

Should the present expectations oi peace be re alized, a large diminution of the army will be made early in the Summer. So large an armed force will not be needed in the fields as the ene my is weakened, or the rebellion dies out, the expenses of the Government will therefore be lessened by tho withdrawal of a part of the troops from the field. At least no farther addi tions will be made.
