Harold then came to the door and asked to be 
let out. Lieut- Baker said : 
“No! Hand out your arms.” 
Harold replied, “I have none.” 
Lieut. Baker— 11 Yes, you have. You carried 
a carbine when you came here. You must hand 
it out.” 
Booth. — “He has no arms; they are all 
mine. L T pon my word, as a gentleman, he 
has no arms. All that are here belong to me.” 
Lieut. Baker then approached the door. Har¬ 
old then pushed out his arms and was pulled 
through the door, tied and placed under guard. 
The officer in command being satisfied that 
further parleying with Booth was in vain, pro¬ 
ceeded to the other side of the barn, pulled out a 
wisp of hay and lighted it. I n a few minutes the 
barn was blazing. The hay lighted up the inside 
of the barn. Booth was discovered leaning on 
a crutch, which he threw aside, and with a car¬ 
bine in bis hand came toward the 6idc where the 
fire had been kindled. He paused, looked at the 
fire a moment and then started towards the 
door. When about the middle of the barn he 
was shot. Licuts. Doughert y and Baker imme¬ 
diately entered the barn aud brought Booth out. 
Booth was armed with two six-barrel and one 
seven-barrel revolvers. When the party started 
to return with the body, Harold refused to walk, 
when a rope was fastened to his neck and the 
other end of it to the saddle, of one of the cav¬

ROCHESTER, N. Y., MAY 6, 1S65. 
From the South. 
As was stated last week, our Government 
refused to confirm Gen. Sherman's treaty with 
the rebel General Johnson in North Carolina 
relative to the surrender of his army. General 
Gram politely waited upon Johnsou and in¬ 
formed him that hostilities would be resumed 
immediately unless he surrendered his army on 
the same conditions that Gen. Lee surrendered 
the Army of Northern Virginia. Gen. Grant 
telegraphed the Secretary of War from Raleigh, 
N. C., on the 26th ult., that “Johnson has sur¬ 
rendered the forces in his command, embracing 
all from here to the Chattahoochie, to Gen. Sher¬ 
man, on the basis of the terms agreed upon by 
Gen. Lee and myself for the Army of Northern 
Virginia.” 
We learn that the number of men Johnson 
surrendered was 27,400. Among the Generals 
we notice the name of Beauregard. 
The latest advices we have of Jeff. Davis is, 
that he is somewhere in South Carolina with 
bis Cabinet, a large amount of specie stolen 
from the Richmond banks, and 2,000 cavalry as 
a guard. Our Government is making strenuous 
exertions to “head oil”' his cicdlency.

The murderer of the President aud one of his 
accomplices were pursued by a squadron of the 
Sixteenth New York Cavalry under the com¬ 
mand of Llents, Dougherty and Baker to a barn 
on the farm of two men by the name of Garret, 
near Port Royal, Ya., on tbe morning of the 26th 
ult., where the former was killed and the latter 
captured. The cavalry numbered about 25 men, 
and were a part of the detective force of Colonel 
Baker in tbe immediate service of the War De¬ 
partment. 
It appears that Booth and Harold left Wash¬ 
ington together on the night of the murder of 
Mr. Lincoln. Harold, it is believed, assisted 
Booth in getting a horse, and probably was in 
tbe alley near by in the rear of the theater, when 
the fatal shot was made. They passed through 
Leonardtown, Maryland, concealing themselves 
every day, until an opportunity was afforded 
them to cross Ihe river at Swan's Point into 
Virginia, which they did, it is supposed, on the 
21st or E2d ult. The man who furnished these 
vagabonds with a boat has been arrested. 
Booth and Harold reached the Garret farm some 
days before they were beset by the military, the 
former walking on crutches. [Booth fell the 
night he committed the murder, and severely 
injured an ankle. He called upon a surgeon, 
who reudered him the desired service, and fur¬ 
nished him with crutches. The doctor has been 
arrested. ] A party of four or five accompanied 
them, who spoke of Booth as a wounded Mary¬ 
lander on ills way home, and said they wished to 
leave him there a short time, aud would take 
him away by the 20th. He and Harold regularly 
took their meals at the house, and both kept up 
appearances well. 
One day at the dinner table the conversation 
turned on the assassination of the President, 
when Booth denounced the crime in the severest 
laying that there was no punishment 
gold and $1,000 in 
escaped, but lost $000 in the hall. 
A terrible accident occurred at the Charles¬ 
town Navy Yard on Thursday. A workman

General Palmer, commanding in Kentucky, 
has hit upon a short settlement with those 
vagabondizing ruffians known as guerrillas 
or bushwhackers. He gives them so many days’ 
grace, after which all still in the field are to

The Confederate Major Taylor, who will he 
remembered as oue of Jeff. Davis’ commission¬

From the South-west. 
New Orleans advices of the 23d uit. have 
been received. It was reported that Gen. Dick 
Taylor would surrender his army to Gen, Canby 
if favorable terms were granted. 
Another blockade runner has run into Galves¬ 
ton somewhat damaged by our gunboats. 
Fears are entertained of the levee breaking in 
front of Algiers, opposite New Orleans, where 
there are extensive Government works. The 
river is very high. Gen, Canby is in New Orleans. 
The rebels commenced evacuating Montgom¬ 
ery, Ala., two hours before the arrival of the 
Union army. Before leaving, the rear guard of 
the enemy under Bnfort, burned 95,000 bales of 
cotton in spite of the efforts of the inhabitants. 
The rebels had also destroyed several steamers 
on the Alabama and Talapoosa rivers. 
The Federals destroyed all the public property 
of the enemy in Montgomery. Private property 
was respected. 
Extensive rebel salt works have been destroyed 
by the navy in St. Joseph’s bayou. 
It is estimated that 100,000 bales of cotton and 
75,000 barrels of rosin are hidden in the swamps 
on the Alabama river, which must soon fall into 
the hands of the Federal army. 
Immense quantities of grain have been captured 
in and around Mobile. Over 10,000 stragglers 
from the rebels have given themselves up. 
Guerrilla bauds infest onr lines; they made an 
attempt to assassinate Gen. Gardner on the 14th. 
A dispatch boat was blown up on tbe 14th by 
a torpedo, two men killed and three wounded. 
A later report from New Orleans than the 
above, is to tbe effect that an officer from Dick 
Taylor’s staff had arrived at Gen. Canby’s head¬ 
quarters to make arrangements for the surrender 
of his army. 
The rebels in Texas appear to think that they 
can defy the authority of the United States, and 
eventually achieve the independence of that State. 
They say they have an army of 100,000 men. 
AMERICAN NEWS IN ENGLAND 
England on the 14th nit. The steamer Africa 
left Liverpool for Ncy» York the 15th. 
The Ameriean intelligence caused intense 
excitement in Englafad, but it arrived too late 
to appear iu the japere generally before the 
sailing of the steamW. 
The London Daily!News says that, the Army 
of Virginia, so long deemed invincible, the 
pride, the hope, the center, the citadel of the 
Confederacy, has been not only beaten but shat¬ 
tered. The Davis Government is now vagrant 
and fugitive. Richmond, which received it and 
gave it, for a time a dignity which it could never 
have acquired while It remained among the cot¬ 
ton plantations, where it had its rise, was set on 
tire by its departing guest. The Confederate 
army fought with all its old tenacity, but we 
cannot doubt it has been broken up by men who 
we have often before been told were the sweep¬ 
ings of Northern cities. 
Davis began the war by declaring that he 
would carry it where food for the torch awaited 
the Southern armies, in populous cities. But 
the attempt to bum New York ended in nothing 
but an execution, while Davis set his borrowed 
Capital in flames and decamped. 
The Morning Advertiser says the further cir¬ 
cumstances and consequences ol’ the heavy blow 
will be looked for with intense anxiety, as the 
close of the war or the inauguration of a new 
and wide-spread guerrilla contest, of unknown 
duration, may spring from the conflict. 
The London Times has an editorial regretting 
that the people of Melbourne should have dis¬ 
played so much sympathy with the crew of the 
Shenandoah, engaged in the destruction of ships 
coming on errands of peace to their ports. 
The Times also has an article strongly con¬ 
demning the conduct of Judge Smith of Mon¬ 
treal, for his ill-considered and dangerous charge 
on the subject of the St. Albans raiders. 
By a later arrival from England, we learn that 
most of the leading papers consider that the fall 
of Richmond and Pctersburgb has sealed the 
fate of the Confederacy. The rebel loau went 
down, down, down, to just about nothing, while 
Federal securities took a sudden jump upward. 
terms, si 
bad enough for the perpetrator. It was said by 
some one in Booth’s presence, that “ rewards to 
a large amount had been offered for Booth, and 
that be would like to catch him,” (naming the 
sum,) when Booth replied, “Yes, it would be a 
good haul — but the amount wlH doubtless soon 
be increased to $500,000.” The two Garrets 
alleged that they had no idea that these men 
were Booth and Harold; and that when they 
heard the cavalry had appeared in the neighbor¬ 
hood, they sent word t.o them that there were 
two strangers on the place. 
On reaching the farm, the cavalry were told by 
a son of one of the Garrets that there were two 
men in the barn. This was at two o’clock on 
Wednesday morning. 
Lieut. Baker was sent forward and called to 
Booth to come out, give up his arms and sur¬ 
render, and that young Garret would go into the 
barn and receive his arms. Upon entering ihe 
barn, Booth exclaimed, “ Get out of here ; you 
have betrayed me.” A colloquy then ensued, of 
which the following is the substance: 
Lieut Baker— You must give up your arms 
and surrender. We have come to take you a 
prisoner, and will treat you as a prisoner. We 
will give you five minutes to surrender, or we 
will burn the bam. 
Booth —Who are you, and what do you want ? 
[Instructions had been given Lieut. Baker not 
to disclose the character of those who were in 
pursuit.] 
LrEUT. Baker—W e want you, and we intend 
to take yon prisoner. 
Booth— This is a hard case. It may be that I 
am to be taken by my friends. 
Alter some further colloqny of this sort, Booth, 
seemingly convinced that he was in the toils of 
Federal soldiers, said: 
Give me a chance for my life. I am a cripple 
with one leg. Draw your men a hundred yards 
AFFAIRS AT WASHINGTON, 
President Johnson has appointed the first 
day of June to be observed “ as a day of special 
humiliation and prayer in consequence of the 
assassination of Abraham Lincoln, late President
