TON. WAR DEPARTMENT, 1.30 A. M., April 15.-M-ajor-Gtntral ?tar, 2jvu>3?orjfc>This evening, about 9.30, st Ford's Theatre, the President, while pitting in his private box with Mrs. Ldncoln, Miss Harria and Major Rathbun-, wa? shot by an assassin, who suddenly entered their box and ap? proached behind tbe President. The as? sassin then leaped upon the stage, brandish? ing a large dagger cr knife, and made his escape through the rear of tho theatre. Ihe pistol ball entered tbe back of the Presi 1 dent's bead, a?d penetrated nearly through the bead. The wound is mortal. The President has been insensible ever since, it was inflicted, and is now dying. About the same hour ajjassassin, whether the sanie or another, entered Mr. Seward's house, and under pretence of haring a pre? scription, was shown to the -Secretary's sick chamber. The Secretary was in bed, a nurse and Miss Seward with him. The assassin immediately rushed to the. bed, inflicted two stabs en thc throat, ?nd two en the face. It ie hoped the wounds may not be mortal. My ^apprehension is that they will prove fatat. - ;.. ?\ The noise alarmed Mr. Frederick Seward, Whb was in an adjoining room, and hasten? ed te the door of -his father's room, where be met the assassin, who inflicted upon him, one or more dangerous wounds. The recovery ol Frederick Seward is doubtful. At a Cabinet meeting, at. which Gen. Grant was present, to day, the subject of the state of the country and tbe prospects of a speedy peace was discussed. The Presi? dent was very cheerful and hopeful, spoke very kindly of Gen. Lee, and others of the Confederacy, and the establishment of the Government in Virginia. All the mem? bers of th? Ghbinet except ilr. Seward are now in attendance upon the Presdent. I have seen Mr. Seward, but be and Frederick were both unconscious. EDWIN M. STANTON, Secret ?ry of War, T?BTHSR PA*WCrjLJ*B. WASKMATSiK, April 14.-President Lin * coln ?ad wife, together with friends, th;i evening visited Ford's Theatre, for the pur? pose ot "witnessing the performance of the 'American Cousin.' It waa announced in the papers that. Gen. Grant would also be present, Int that gentleman instead took the late traiarof cara for New Jersey. Daring the third act, a sharp report of a pistol waa heard, which merely attracted attention, but suggesting nothing serious, until a man rushed td the front of the Pre? sident's box, waring a long dagger in. bis right band, and exclaiming 'Sic Stmptr Oryrannis,' and immediately leaped from the box, which was in the second tier, to the stage beneath, and ran across to tba opposite side, .tnua making bia escape amid the bewilderment of the audience from the rear of the theatre, and mounting a horse ?fled... The screams of MM. Lincoln first disclosed the fact to the audience that the President had been shot, when all present rose to their feet; rushing towards the stage, many exclaiming, 'Hang bin?,' 'bang him.' The excitement was of the wildcat possible description, and of course thara was an abrupt termination of the theatrical performance. There was a rush toward the i President's box, when cries were beard I'Stand back,' 'stand back,* 'give him air,* 'has an j one stimulante?', k: .On a hasty examination it was found that the President had been shot through ?the head, above and back of the temporal s bone, and that some of the brain was oozing ?07Jtl . i;?w' * '<?' - -Hedges removed to a private bouse op ? posinrne theatre,and theSurgeon'General of the Army and other .surgeons wera sentir to attend to his condition.
