WAK Din'AltTMKNT, Washington, D. C. Apr, 15, 1805. Major General Dlx, New Yerk: This evening at about 11:30 p. m., at ford's Theatre, the President, while silting in his priv.te,box with Mrs. Lincoln, Mrs. Harris and Major Ralliburn, was shot by an assassin, who suddenly entered tho box and approached tho President. The assassin then loiped upon tho stajre, brandishing a larijo dagger or Uuife, and made his escapo in tho rear of the theatre. Tho pistol ball entered tho back of the President's head and penetrated nearly through the head. The wound Is mortal. Tho President has been insensible ever since it was inflicted, a d is now dying. About the same hour an assassin, whether the samo or not, entered Mr. Seward'i apartments, and under pretence of having a prescription was shown to tho Secretary's sick chamber. Theassassli immediately rushed to tho bed and Indicted two oi three stabs on tho throat and two on the f.ice. It is hoped tho wounds may not be mortal. My apprehension is that iliey will prove fatal. The nurse alarmed Mr. Frederick Seward, who was In an adjoiuiug room, and ho hasten d to the door of Ids fa bur's room, when he met tho assassin, who inflicted upon htm one or morn dangerous wounds. Tho recovery of Frederick Seward is doui'lful. It is not probablo that tho Presi dent will live through tho night. Geneial Grant and wife were ad vertised to bo at the theatre this evening, but he storied to Burling ton at six o'eloi.k this evening. At a (m bl lift meeting at which General Grant was ineseut, tho sub ject of tho state of tho country and the prospect of a speedy peace was diat'iitriod. The president was very cheerful and hopeful, and spoke very kindly of General Leu and others of tho confederacy, and of tho estab lishment of government in Vir ginia. All tho members of tho cabi net except Mr. Seward aro now In attendance upon the president. I have seen Mr. Seward, but he and Frederick were both uncon scious. Edwin M. Stanton, Sicrutary of War, WAlt WHUItTMUNT, 1 WASHINGTON, Al'ltIK 16 0:10A.M. J Major General Dix, New Yerk: Tho Prexideut continues IuhudhI bleand rlnklug. ScoruLiry Howard rcn alns with out change; Fredrick Seward's skull Is fractured in two places, beside a u.-v-.'recut on (he head. Thuatteiid ant U still alive but hopeless. Mil- jor Seward's wounds are not dan. ge rous. It Is uow ascertained with reason able ccrUlnty that two assassins were engaged in tho horrible crime, Wilkes Booth being tho otic that shot tho president, and tLc other an accomplice, whoso nauio is not known, but whoso description is so clear that ho cau hardly escape It appears from papers found in Booth's trunk that the murder was planned before tho 4th of March, but fell through then, bccmi&a the accomplice backed out "until Rich mond could bo heard from." Booth and his accomplice were at tho livery stablo at 0 o'clock lust evening and left hero with their horses at 10 o'clock, or shortly be fore that hour. It would appear that they had, for several days, been seeking their chance, but for some unknown rea son it was not carried into effect un til last night. Ouo of tho assassins has evidently made his way to Baltimore, tho other has not yet been traced. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War. JWaii Di:iAUTMnxT, Washington, April 15,-730 a in.

A Trltiuto to Abraham Lincoln tho 1'rlcnd of Humanity. No ovent which has transpired in a century, caused so deep a gloom and so unlveisal a sadness to fall up on tho loyal elements o this nation as tho assassination of Abraham Lincoln tweuty-llvo yeais. ago this night. All who'-e memory runs back to that black day in American history will recall what a chill ol teiror struck every loyal Heart that throbbed in sympathy with that great emancipator and defender of tho Union. Greater than ho In the hearts of his countrymen will none ever stand, because In tho evolution of civilization no backward steps arc ever taken, and never again will the slave-driver's lash descend on tho shrinking backs of an oppressed race. But great as Lincoln was as an emancipator, great as ho stands among statesmen, orators and cham pions of popular rights, ho is great est of all as a defender of Immunity. It was on account of Lincoln's humanity that tho Soutli withdrew from the Union, or, as Stephens states it in his War between the States, "on account of his known sentiments and principles connected wiiii the legal status of tho blacU race in tho Southern states." No president had ever been elected from Jefferson to Lincoln who was known to hold those principles of humanity, and when tho (list oiuq was elected the South seceded. All before Lincoln, back to Jefferson had held tho constitution to ho a mero compact between tho states under which higher humanity was an obsolete or nieanlugless term. Public men asserted tho right of tho white race to enslave the blncu on arguments taken from tho re vealed scrl piures and nature's laws. Governor Hammond, of South Car olina, in a popular speech that hud u national reputation ut tho time, asserted that slavery was the cor ner stono of our civilization. He glorified this system in these werds: "With us, nil of the white race, however high or low, rich or poor, aro equal in the eye of the law. Not so willi tho negro. Sub ordination is ills plate. He, by na ture or by l lie eu i(! against Caauan, is filled for tlio condition which ho occupies, Tho substratum of our society is made of the hiatcrlal lilted by nature for it. It is Indeed lu conformity with tho ordinance of the Creator. Tho great objects of humanity aro best attained wneu there Is conformity lo Ills laws and decrees." It was this fa1o humanity, I ho' based on so-calleadivluoiuid natural laws, and backed by n perverted church and Mate, (hat Abraham Lincoln can io to sweep away and j substitute therefor tho divinely Implanted Ideas of u true Immunity for which he lived and died. To carry out this Idea ho had Hie sublime courage of a Suvanorola, or a Luther. He defied tho supremo court. Ho rejected l lio auihorliy of all previous national leuWallon and treaties and slatot-meu from the dusof Jelfersou and Madison. April 12, IWlljGeiierukliuuuieiril. in command of confederate tioip at Charleston, South Carolina, flrd tho llrst gun on Fort dumpier In that huibor ami (hero was commit lei tii lht ou'rago on iio Am rl Cuu 11 as;, ihU was af.vr tome con- I I federate states had passed ordinances ot secession and formally with drawn from tho Union. And yet Southern leaders had tho audacity to maintain that Abraham Lincoln brought on tho rebellion. In lis dealings with them wo discover throughout tho sumo tender senti ments of humanity. Ho said: "In your hands, not mine, is tho mo mentous Issuo of civil war. Tho government will not assail 'you. You can have no conflict without yourselves being the aggressors." Ami so history records tho facts of tho struggle. It is dilllctilt after tho lapse of n quarter of a century to comprehend tho Important, numientoiH nnd epoch-making character of tho Emancipation Proclamation, setting freo tho slaves, and guaranteeing them tho protection of tho uaMoual government. The- eflect upon tho public mind was like an electric shock and it must always bo re garded as tho boldest and most sue cessful coup d'etat of tho whole struggle for the abolition of slavery. Tho shock to tho South, says Stephens, was not unUko that pro duced by great convulsions of na turi' the uphcavlngs and rocking of the earth itself. Thts proclama tion will ever stand in history as ono of tho boldest and most far sighted strokes for an oppressed race. Among the last letters of his life we find one, neverlntended f-r pub lication, but it shows that lie never for a moment forgot the cause of iho emancipated nice. Hero Is tho let ter: My Di:au Bin: r congratulate you on having fixed your name lu history as the llrst freo statu gover nor of Louisiana. Now that you tiro about lo have a convention which, among other thiuus, will probably dellno tho elective fran chise, 1 barely suggest for your pri vuto consideration whether somo of tiie colored people may not be let lu, as, foriiisiamc, tho ery lulellleent, and especially those who havo fought gallantly In our ranks. They would probably 'iclp in some trying tlmo to come to keep tho jewel of liberty In the family of free dom. But tills Is only u suggestion, not to the public bub to you alone. A. Lincoln. To the poor and tho lowly ho al ways showed a feeling of deep sym pathy, for ho himself had risen from a very humble condition lu life, unaided except by his own efforts and tho opportunities afforded In tills country to every ono to gratify his ambition for advancement. In all his life ho was the friond of tho masses. Ho knew hut olio touchstone or political Rticcttiu and Unit was to keep cfoso lo tho peopio. Great as president, greater as eman cipator of tin enslaved race, ho is still greatest of all as a martyr for humanity. Tlio Pulpit mill Iho Stage. rev. F.
