The.first battle of the old revolution commen ceu on the 19th April, 1775. :The revolution ended 19th April, 1785. The revolution of the present age commenced 13th April, 1860.

Milk,.butter, eggs, chick one vegetables are painfully needed. A little smil, and a few chickens are now required by several of the sick, who it is feared, will not re corer unless they very speedily receive such nourishment.

A cup of genuine Mocha& will mingle its fragrance with strawberries and cream, while turkey an4 ham will vie with each otfier in the beauty of their proportiOns. .Northsrntems. From an Atlanta pape of the 26th April, we gather the following items: A Baltimore dispatch to the N. Y. Herald says, that Booth and the other conspirators, thirty in number, were in St. Mary's county, Maryland, heavily armed, endeavoring to make their way across the Potomac; which was strong!y picketed. ~A squad of cavalry had a collision with themand' bad been repudsed. The cavalry being reinfor-. * esis, itwas supposed that they were surrounded1 sdescape impossible. Another despatch'.saysj a liighly important arrest has been made, but the nan:of. thei party is w'ithheld on account of frienils. He made a full confession.

A teogram to E. S. Sandford says, "that tbe Se. cretary is bright and cheerful,' and a marked * improvement is'seen. Fred.is also improving. i. special to the Post of the 18Sth says: "Pres ident Johnson yesterday said to a clcrgyman who *beg7gd of him to be mercifulAo4he rebes tha * mercy to. individuals is sat always eyt He declared t.o members of Congress, tha&Obe was willing to actwith.the utmost-magnanimnityf towiids the common rebels and the peopfi.of .the-rebe1$tiats, bmtthat-those who were leadersI must be severely punished.' Qen. Grant had a long interview with the Pre sident on questions connected with the army. It is undIerstood that their views were hsarm3O nu. He was willing to- act with the utmost magnanimity towards the people of the Rebel * States, buit the leaders must be punished. Mobile is announced as haviag been captured. The United States flag is said to have been raised over the city and forts' on the 12th. General Granger's troops occupy- the city. The rebels commenced to evacuate on the 10th. .

Toward the beginning of the secowd scene of the third act, John Wilkes Booth,,brother to Edwin atid Junius Booth, and son to the celebra ted actor of the same nime, visited this exclusive domain to which his profession as actor was an open sesame. Re entered the back door of the theatre, and left 'very soon, leaving d7at back door opem. He had evidently ridden to the thea tre, for er- enEering t he left his horse in the alley. THE IMtRDER. The comedy is in its third act, in the 2d scene of it. Madame Mountchessington has left the stage to A.% Trenchard, with the'remark "You don't understand the manners of. goo& society. That alone can excuse the inpertinence of which you are guilty." Trenchard: answers-"II guess Lknow enough to.turn you inside out." And the audience ciap their hands and laugh in glee. 'ncoln joins in the laugh-.-pistol shot, sha clear -is heard. The words Sic semper tyrarnis are whispered. "Revenge for the South is aed." A white'face, covered with -'a night of hair," lighted by two black,. shining eyes is en be tween the- President's box and the Isage; a mo ment passes-it drops. A form cr6uches as it falls-then rises in histrionic attitude-in its hand a knife .whose -newly polished surface re fleets the numerous gas jets. Three seconds nay. two-nd it is gone. Still as the bush that followjs a prayer-in the chamber of the dying, the audience sits "spell bound,.it may have been for two seconds. 'A tall man jumps upon the stage, and he too, dis appeared, while.a voice in the audience at last utters the name of the. assein-John Wilkes Booth.- - HOW BOOTH KILLED' THE PaESIDEN. It has now been proven tiat Booth after his visit behind the scenes, aving left that back door open, rapidly went to the front of -the thea tre, ascended into the dress circle, pa sed -by the only door open into the box, advanced to the front of it and.lening, over, with, the- elbow of his right arm out of the box, his left hand on'the balustrade, fired -a pistol -at the Presiden . This pisol, a Deringer, was evidently loaded with. two [perhaps with more than t wo.balls, of -diameter less than that of the piofbarrel,*one of these balls struck the President below the lefAear and two inches behind it. The other did not Nit him but ient through the locked an*l unused door of the box, scattering splintera outside (not inside)' the box.. Having fired, Booth dropped the-pis tol, and drew a long knife, 'shapedlike' the sword of Roman gladiator-e^ regular ,tyfus in form, but rounded not angled to a point. He vaulted over the balustrade to the floor of the box, hism left hand supporting his ireight ad breaking-his fall by i hold oni it.* The distance (rom the balustrade to the floqr of the thedke is-exactly twelve feet and eight itches. The exclamadion "Sic semnper tyranis," was uttered as.lie vaulted ut 'of thie box, and, as hei'ecovered his feet on alightitig, he 'said somethiig of^which we could only gather, four words - "ean 'or the South!R he then, in a silted, stagsy, yet rapid stride, bis whole face turned soward'Xthe awe-etricken adience, gained the firststage entrandce, pushed aside Miss Laura Keeue there awaitiug her cue to enter ujen the scene, and with the'glittering stylus sti!l in his hand, pushed on byte prompt ePs desk, tuir'add to tb, right, and by sane of the audience was .agai een.
