From the New fork World. BEECHER AT HOME. Large Gathering at Plymouth Chui'eh. ParaTIe Between Moses and Lincoln—Two Great Men who Lied “in Sight of the Promised Land”—Mr. Lee- cl.er Swears lila Congregation to Justice, Moderation and Mercy. Mr. IJeecher occupied hia pulpit day, for the first time since the ««ws of the death oi the President, f> a ^ * or t* 1 ? fir8t tSe since his return the excursion to Fort flumter. The crowd that attempted to hear him was leasiul. The church was completely filled b y lca o’clock, aud for an hour thereafter the sexton3 guarded every door, and were obliged to turn away hun dreds Large crowds that came over on each ferry-boat from New York, and who hurried up Fulton and Hicks streets, moat of them running a foot race in the middle of the stieet, were all compelled to go back, or stood looking distractedly at the church. At half past ten Mr. Beecher came upon the p'atlorm, and the crowd began to rush in to fill all the spaces not already occupied by pew-holders. Mr. Beecher theu directed the sextons to fill every pew with the first that came, saying that at such a time as ibis ' the pew-holders must take their chance, as no one in ten of those outside would lie able to get in, and, in the meanwhile, the services would be delayed. The aisles were filled, and all the passages by the sides of the galleries, and at the entrances, were literally jammed with people. At least fifty persons sat on cushions Turk fashion, upon the platform, at the very feet of Beecher. People stood outside of the church, looking in at the windows. “This is worse than a matinee,” said a pretty young lady. Mr. Beecher commenced the services by a sliotf prayer, and reading the nineteenth psalm, beginning, “Lord, tnou hast been our dwel ling place in all generations.” The 110b .h hymn was then sung, the whole congrega lion joining. It commences, Why do wo mourn departing friends, Or shako at death's alarms it Mr. Beecher then offered prayer. He prayed Hod for help, from whom all help must come. Bring the spirit ol peace and consolation upon all the people; deal with us with everlasting kindness. We stand im movable and secure in God. Thou hast been pleased to desolate this nation. We desire to humble our humiliation, aud bow still lower before the majesty of Thy offend ed love. How deeply hast Thou been of fended, that through all these months and years Thou still lollowest us. Let Thy judgments cease and T2iy heart cover as sun shine alt the land. Draw near to the heart of this great people that has grown m strength and iu happmess, and since Thou hast taken lrom us our leader, our friend, much beloved and trusted, since he ceases from his labor, aud we are left with the toil, grant that this dispensation of Thy providence may be blessed even as Thou wouldst have it to be. Draw very near to his. household, and though it is night, let it be a night full of stars of hope. May Thine handmaid be greatly strengthened, and feel that it is the right hand of the Aimighty that sustains her, and upon the bosom of Thy love may she find consolation in her earthly affliction. Guard and guide all the members of the government. Comfort this people. Speak to Thine angels that they go forth bearing consolation. May w§ be wiser, purer, freer, more Christian. May we please God. Thou, O God, art to do wonderful things with .this people; for whom the Lord ioveth he chas- teuelh. Utteily destroy slavery—destroy rebellion. Take away hatred and animosity that rankles yet in so many hearts; bring back the old concord. May purity be that sphere in which peace shad move, and lib erty and justice walk supreme together again in this land. May the nations of the earth be blessed. Go or, O God, from con quest to conquest, until the whole earth shall see Thy salvation, and the glory of the Lord shall fill the earth as the waters fill the sea. TIIE TEXT. Mr. Beecher then took In’s text as loh lows: And Moses went up from the plains of Moab, nnto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgali, that is over against Jericho; and the Lord showed him all the laud of Gilead unto Dan. And all Naphtali, and the land ofjEphraim and Manas- 82h, and all the land of Jndah unto the utmost, sea. And the South and the plain of the valley of Je-tieho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar. Aud the Lord said unto him: This is tho 'and which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac and unto, Jacob, saying I will give it unto thy seed; X have causeiFthee to see it with thy eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither. Si Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there in the land of Moab. according to the word of the Lord. Jere miah, xxxiv, 1, o, 4, 5. THE SERMON. There is no historical figure more noble than that of the Jewish lawgiver. After so many thousand years the figure of Mo ses is not diminished, but stands up against the background of early days, distinct and individual as though he had lived but yes terday. There is no event in history more touching than his death. He had borne the great burdens of State for lorty years, shaped the Jews to a nation, filled out their civil aud religious polity, adminis tered their laws and guided their steps, and dwelt with them iq all'their sojourning? in the wilderness; had mourned in their pun ishment, kept step with their march, led them until the end of their labors drew nigh. The last stage was reached, Jordan lay between them and the promised land 1 Oh, what yearnings had he not had for that juSnal rest. He had dreamed of it by night und mused bv uay. It was holy, and en deared as God’s favored spot. It was to be the cradle of an illustrious liistorv; it was the consumation of their desire, the re ward of their toil and pain. Then came the Lord to Moses saying: “Thou must not go over; get thee up into the mountain, look upon it, aud die.” From that silent summit the hoary leader gazed to the north, and the south, and the west, with hungry eyes. The dim outlines rose up; the hazy recesses spoke oi the quiet valleys between the hills. With Christian longing, with sad resignation, he looked upon the promised laud that was now to him a for bidden land; it was a moment’s anguish; he forgot all his personal wants, and drank iu the vfsion of Dig people’s home, for his work was done. There was God’s promise ful filled; there was the seat of the future Jeru salem; there tue seat or Judea’s kins’. of jud ges, ol prophets; the mouth of sorrow, the fountain of blessings innumerable to all mankind. Joy chased sadness from every feature of the prophet, and he laid him down and died. Again, through toil, and sorrow, and wars, another has passed and come near to the promised laird of peace into which he might not pass ovc-r. Who shall count the work of our martyr ? Never rising to the enthusiasm ot your impassion ed natures in hours of hope; ; ever sinking jnto despondency with more mercurial u&- tures, putting caution before hope, he wres tles with all the trials ot the time. At w, the watcher beheld -the gray dawn ol the morning; the mountains began to give their forms forth out of the d^kness the e2t lew C for all DS t0Ward him With arms full of sorrows we were to be glad It could fiWeno r Sher ™f asur , able P^ce. trust, such gratitude, as hil He buUooked upon it as Moses locked upon the promised land; and then the wails of a naUo^p ro c’aimed that he had gone. Not thine the Borrow, but ours, sainted soul! Thou hast indeed, gained the promised land To us remains the heaving of the sea, the rocking of the land. Thou standest among the elect. Joy is upon thee forevermore. Over all this land thou art lifted up as high as the star is above the clouds that hide it, but never reach it. Thy name shall flourish in fra grance and beauty, as long as hearts remain to revere truth, faithfulness, goodness. Nev er were witnessed two such orbs of joy and sorrow as came together over this,’ land in one week, then wept, embraced each other, sang and prayed, and many could only weep gladness. The government was firm; bipod was stanched. The dear father-land to rise up in eminence among the na tions. There was such a surge of joy as no words can describe. In one hour joy had no pulse. The sorrow swept along the land as a thunder storm. Never did so many hearts, in so briet a time, touch two such foundlcss feelings. It was the uttermost of soirow and the uttermost of joy—noon and midnight without a space between. It was so terrible that it stunned sensibility. The very earth was no longer solid. The first feeling was the least. Men wasted to get strength to feel. Other griefs belong to some in chief; this belongs to all. Men were bereaved, and walked tor days as if a corpse lay in their house.* The city forgot to swear for a week. No monument will ever equal in significance the great sorrow that swept down party lines and animosities, and uni ted the nation in the great bereavement. There are some considerations arising out of the event, to which I may refer. SUDDENNESS OP DEATH A BLES.-TNG. First, let us not mourn that his departure was so sudden. We need not fill our minds with horror at the method of his departure. When men pray for deliverance from sud den death it is because they do not want to go unprepared. But wliep one is ready sud denness ot death is a blessing. They that go wide awake and watching as a . bride groom to the wedding, and not they that waste away and die in stupor, are blessed. nrs MODE OP DEATn NOT SHOCKING IN VIEW OP THE CONDITION OP THE NATION. Nor should we mourn the manner of his death. There was nothing shocking in the mere instrument itself. Have not thousands of soldiers fallen upon the battle fiekl by the bullet ot an enomy ? So he fell. Is battle counted so dreadful a mode of death? It was as it he irad fallen in battle. Do not all soldiers ask to die in the hour of victory? And was it not meet that he should be join ed with them in a common experience to whom he had been joined in all his sympa thy and life ? I bless God that there is some argument of consolation in the .matter and manner of his going, SLAVERY. Secondly, fills blow‘was but the expiring rebellion. Epitomized in the foul act we find the whole nature and despotism of sia- vtry. We needed not that he should put on paper that he believed in slavery, wno, with treason, wflk murder, with cruelty in fernal, hovered around that majestic man to destroy life. He was himself but the ]ong- life sting!with which slavery struck atliberly, and he carried the poison that belonged to slavery, and as long as the nation lasts it will never be forgotten that we have had one martyred President. Never, never, while time lasls, while heaven lasts, while hell rocks and groans, will it be forgotten that slavery by its minions slew him, and, iu slaying him, made manifest its whole na lure and tendency. Thirdly, this blow was aimed at the life of the government. The man was stricken down but the government smitten at. It was a blow at universal gov ernmoul. Itvuna nntt he desperate hand rift he victiih of oppression and wrong, for the South was never wronged. There have been some murders that admitted shades of palli ation, but not such an one as this, without provocation, without reason, without temp tation. Fourthly, the blow has failed. Tbe nation is dissolved, but only in tears. It stands-lour-squared to-dayr more solid than any fragment in Egypt. How naturally and easily the government passed into the hands of the new President! PRESIDENT -JOHNSON. I avow my belief that he will be found man true to every instinct ol libertj’’, true to the whole trust that is imposed on him, vig llant ta the Constitution, careful of the Jaws, wise for liberty, iu that he himself for his life-long has known what it'is to sufferJrom the stings of slavery aud to prize liberty from the bitter experiences of his own life. (Applause ) Where could the head. of a government in any monarchy be stricken down by the hand of an assassin aud the funds not quiver or fall the half of one per cent. The whole experience of four years rounded up in this cruel stroke seem to have been a condensed exhibition of the strength of republican institutions, such as we could never have expected or imagined God has said by the voice of this provi donee to all the nations of the earth, repub Jican liberty based upon true Christianity ig as firm as tho foundations of the globe. JUSTICE, MODERATION AND MERCY. Fifthly, even he who now sleeps, has, by this event, been clothed with new influence. Dead, he speaks to men, who now willing ly hear what before they refused to listen to. Now, nis simple, weighty words will be gathered like those of Washington, and your children aud your children’s children shall be taught to ponder the simplicity and deep meaning of utterances which passed in the party heat as idle words. Men will receive a new access of patriotism. I swear you fin the alLar ol his memory to be more faith ful to that couutry for which he has perish eck They will, as they follow his hearse swear a new hatred to that, slavery which he warred against, and which, in murdering him, has made him a martyr and conqueror. I swear you, by the memory of this martyr, to hate slavery with au unabateable hatred and pursue it (Applause.) They will acU mire the firmness of this man injustice, his inflexible conscience lor tbe right, his gen tleness and moderation of spirit which not all the hate of party could shake out of his nature. And I swear you to his justice and to his moderation and to his mercy f THE SOUTHERN SCAVES. How can I speak to that twilight million to whom his name was as the name of an angel of God. There he wailing in places no minister shall be able to reach, in hovels and huts, in the woods and wilderness in the fields throughout the South ; and the dusky children who look upon him as that master whom God sent betore them to lead them out of the land of bondage— when thej T learn he is fallen, who shall com fort them ? O thou shepherd of Israel that didst comfort the people of old, to thy care we commit the helpless, the long-wronged, the grieved. THE OBSEQUIES OF TO-DAY. And now the martyr is moving in tri umphal march, mightier than one alive. A nation rises up at every stage of his coming, cities and States are as pall-bearers aDd the cannon beats the hours in solemn pro°Tes» sion. Dead f Dead! Dead! He° yet speaketh. Is Washington dead ? Is Hamp den dead ? Is David dead ? Is any man that was fit to live dead? Disenthralled of the flesh and arisen to the unobstructed { grafted upon the infinite, and will be fruit ful, as no earthly life can be Pass on 1— Wail and weep here, God makes it echo joy and triumph there. Pass on! Four years ago, 0 Illinois, we took from your midst an untried man from among the people. Be hold ! we return him to you a migh -y con queror. Not thine any more, but ours; not ours, but the world’-. Give him place, O ye prairies 1 In the midst of this great con« tinent, Lis dust shall rest a sacred treasure to myriads who shall pilgrim to that shrine to kindle anew their zeal and patriotism.— Ye winds that move over the mighty spaces of the West! chant his requiem!— Ye people! behold a martyr whose blood, as so many articulate words for fidelity, for law, for liberty I THE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE IN RICHNOND.

[Promth; Chicago Times, April 21 ] AN ACTOR ARRESTED FOR LOOKING LIKE BOOTH. A very singular arrest was made on Wed- nonduy o-.-oriio.g- ooo that at £rsfc caused no little excitement, but upon examination was the cause of considerable mirth and laugh ter. About 9 o’clock, a soldier, in breath less haste and nervous anxiety, rushed into the Central police station and told Secretary Scott that he had just seen the infamous murderer, J. Wilkes Booth, on Clark street, in company with Mr. Pratt, of McVicker’s Theatre. Mr. Scott at first laughed at the idea, but the soldier was positive. He said that he had once, while Booth was playing an engagement at Me Vickers, been an at tache at the theatre, and that he knew Booth very well, and was positive that he had just seen him. Mr. Scott at once asked the soldier why he had not killed him on the spot, when the soldier answered that ho would have done so, but he was unarmed. Still doubting, Mr. Scott went in search of the parties, and soon found Mr. Pratt and the supposed villain. Booth, in a restaurant on Clark street. The companion of Mr. Pratt looked very much like the picture of the infamous assassin which Mr. Scott had in his possession, and he exactly answered the description which the soldier had given of him. Mr. Scott requested Mr. Pratt to come over with him to the central station, as he wished to see him, and also asked him to invite his friend to accompany them. When tire three arrived at the station, the stranger was informed that he was under arrest as the assassin of Mr. Lincoln. Had a thunderbolt from heaven struck him, the accused could not have been more surprised. He had no difficulty, however, in convinc ing the officials that they were mistaken, and that he, the supposed Booth, was none other than Mr. J. F. Nagle, the accomplished leading actor at McVicker’s theatre. Not withstanding the innocence of the accused so determined were the officials to punish all men who resembled Booth, they declared that they would, and actually did, bring him to his leer, wnen a general good time was enjoyed by all parties. From the London Morning Advertise?, April 21. MEXICAN AFFAIRS. PROPOSED ALLIANCE BETWEEN PRANCE AND ENGLAND AGAJN3T AMERICA On receipt of the news of the fall of Rich mond, Louis Napoleon proposed to Lord Cowley that England and France should, by a treaty offensive and defensive, make common cause against the United States of America; that in the event ot Canada being attacked by them, France should assist England with all her land and sea forces; and that in the event of the United States openly or covertly attacking the Emperor Maximilian, or in anywise endangering his throne, England should,in conjunction with France, “defend and support” Maximilian in the same manner and on the same condi tions as they sustained the Sultan of Tur key against the aggression of Russia. We do not know how this very cool overture has been received by our government, but we know what its emphatic answer ought to be. On the reassembling orParliament, next week, this important subject is sure to receive immediate attention, and the idea be denounced in the strongest language which parliamentary notions of propriety will allow. Still more deep will be the in dignation ot the country at the proposal; for the whole nation still smnris at tbe re membrance of the manner in which Louis Napoleon treated our unfortunate alliance with him in the case of the Crimean war.— Were Ministers to entertain the idea of the proposed alliance even for a day, it would kindle a flame in the national bosom which would be productive of more serious tflccls than the overthrow of a Cabiner. From Europe.—New Yoik, May Hi— The As a has arrived at Halifax, from Liv erpool, 30th ulL, via Queenstown, with the latest .European news. Addresses of condolence to the American people have passed the lower House of the Austrian Reichrath unanimously- The Austrian and Swiss Governments have forwarded addresses. The Protestant church of Paris performed a luneral service yesterday. Napoleon has left Paris for Algeria. Bourse was heavv. Rentes closed at 67. Tire vote of censure on the Spanish Cab inet, for the late military conflict in Madrid, was lost by a large majority. Italy and the Pope have concluded on an arrangement on the Episcopal question.— The Bishops are to return. The Brazilian mail has reached Lisbon, bringing Rio Janerio dates to April 9ih.— The Montevideo banks are authorized to resume cash payments. A large force of Paraguayans threaten to invade the Argen ' tine Republic, in order to attack Brazil and Buenos Ayres. Hostilities are expected. Discovery of Quick-tlvkr in Nevada. —The Reese river Austin, Reveille says : Mr. Varney, superintendent oi' the PiO' jieer mill, of this city, and a scientific amal gamator, has lately been on a visit to one, the capital of our neighboring county of Nye, and during his stay made a most as tonishing discovery. The new mill of that city had been able to extract but about $25 per ton from what had the reputation ot being rich ores, and Mr. Varney went down to see what was the matter. Upon an analysis of the ore he found it to consist of sulphur, antimony, arsenic, silver, and what he believed to be quicksilver. Of course such- an ore could not be worked withou roasting. A rude lurnaco was formed, where four hundred pounds could be roasted at a time, and thorough experiments on several ledges were made. The result was that the rock was made to pay, without selection, $110 per ion but the most singular of all wa3 the great abundance of quicksilver llrat the roasting developed. Having ascertained that quicksilver was present, seeing it gather on the iron poker used in stirring tbe roasting mass, and smelling it in the fames, an attempt was made to ascertain the quantity. Three and a half pounds of the quartz—not cinnabar —was placed in a retort and heated, and nine ounces of pure quicksilver obtained, being .over eighteen per cent. Upon thorough examination of the lode, large quantities of rich cinnabar, the oreol quick silver, were found. The rock experimented on, contained this useful metal in a native condition. The extent of these cianabar bearing lodes was found to be great, indicatiug that we shall be able to lurnish our own supply of quicksilver, and probably have it to ex port. NEWTON COUNTY.

Those whose homes were, at the time of forming these armies, in the States that have never been in rebellion, and who desire to return 10 them, will be required to take the oath proscribed iu President's am nesty proclamation, provided they are not excepted from its bent fils. If so excepted, they will be detained. Those living in Texas will be sent in charge of an officer, and will be landed on the west bank of the Mississippi river, near above the mouth of Red river. By command of Lieut Gen. Grant, A. J. BOWERS, A. A. G. The Rebel Ram Stonewall.—The re bel iron clad ram Stonewall, Captain Page, which sailed from Lisbon the 28ill of March, is evidently on her way to this coast. As the frigate Niagara, Commodore Craven, and the corvette Sacramento, Captain Wal ker, were debarred by the twenty-four hour rate from giving pursuit, she was to get, away from the coast and so far ahead that chase was useless. From Lisbon the StoDe- wall proceded to the Maderias, where she coaled and took in supplies, hut was ordered away after the expiration of twenty-four hours. From Funchal she steamed io Te- neriffe, where she again coaled aud provis ioned, and was compelled to go to sea again in twenty-four hours, on the first of April. She is evidently making her way to some ol the Islands of the West Indies, where she will again coal and prepare for a raid on our coast. No rebel port is lelt here that she can enter, as her draught of water is too great for Galveston. She may make a dash into some of our Northern ports, and the Navy Department has made and is making every preparation to meet and destroy her if she attempts the feat- iron ci&ds have been quietly placed in the different harbors, ami other measnves taken that will render aliortive any raid on our seaboard cities. The Roanoke and other iron clads will care for New York, and a torpedo boat will also be kept ready for immediate service. It was rumored yesterday that the Stone all had been spoken on Friday last, but the report is entirely unfounded. Great vigilance is, however, maintained by the naval vessels In the harbor, and they are ready for action.—Neio York Herald, May 1 at. * ’ J PIKE COUNTY UFOHLifA f Fikk County; W HEREAS E. M.
