SAVANNAH, WEDNESDAY. MAY 3, 1566.
CAPTURE AND DEATH OF BOOTH.
0, that the wretch had forty thousand lives.
One is too poor, too weak for iny revenge ! "
lOthello.
Aa arrival from New York brings the in
telligence that J. Wilkes Booth, the assassin
of President Lincoln, was captured in Yir
ginia, about sixty miles down the Potomac,
one week ago to-day. The information lead
ing to the capture was communicated by the
paroled men of the disbanded rebel armies in
the vicinity, and Booth and his accomplice
were taken in a barn, after a severe struggle,
in which Booth was shot and killed.
No one will lie greatly surprised at this
termination of the unhappy assassin's mad
career. The desperation which conceived
and executed the plot which has robbed the
nation of its chief, would never permit the
assassin to submit tamely to capture. There
is hardly auy one, however, who learns of the
summary end of the infamous Booth, who
will not feel a temporary disappointment
and regret that the murderer was not sub
jected to thcpaiDS and iguominy of a death
upon the gallows—-that he did not live long
enough to learn the utter detestation in
which his deed was held North and South
ancl throughout the world—that he was per
mitted to die witu the ruffian’s glory of
“dying game.”
Yet it was so ordered by |that Wisdom
which permitted him to Strike the disastrous
blow. If Booth had been taken alive and had
been carried to Washington or any other
Northern city for trial, his presence would
undoubtedly have given occasion to some
popular outbursts of that feeling which an
outraged people can with difficulty restrain ;
one act of violence with however good excuse,
would have led to another more extravagant,
till, in the whirlwind of passion that should
arise, the most terrible and unforeseen conse
quences would result. As it is, the wretched
■assasin of his country’s highest-honored and
best-loved, died the death of a hunted felon,
shot down like a savage beast in his lair, —
and he will surely reap an eternal infamy.
• The Lata Flood* at the North.
We have all of us heard more or less of the
late tremendous freshets in the North, but have
formed but slight idea of the real violence of
the floods which have destroyed so many
thousands of dollars worth of property. A
column of water which can carry off bodily
twenty-five brick stores “from the city io
the sea,” must have been truly formidable.—
When it is remembered the Genesee river
empties into Lake Ontario, six miles aud a
half from Rochester, aud that the Upper aud
Lower Falls of the Geuesee intervene, we
can form some slight idea of the condition
ot the said twenty-five stores by the time
they struck the mouth of the river.
One Rochester paper says that an island of
several acres in extent was formed below the
Genesee Falls, composed entirely of the
debris swept down from the city. Paving
stones from the streets; brick and Btone from
the houses; iron from the lamp-posts and
mill-gearing and foundries, which were
swept away, and thousands of tons of earth
Washed from the banks of the stream itself.
Among other trifles which go to make up
this island are the doors of eleven iron safes,
several pairs of car wheels, and a number of
cords of iron lamp-posts.
A letter lfom Hochester, N. Y., says about
twenty-five stores were swept down the
river into the lake, and there is hardly a dry
building to be had for love or money.
Many who a lew days ago were in affluent
circumstances are reduced to penury. Stores,
mills, bridges, &c., are all gone. Another
account says tliat during the flood the gas
works were submerged and the supply of
gas cutofi, thus adding darkness to the other
terrors. Many men remained through the
flood in their places of business, without
being able to reach their homes.
A good business was done by many in
transporting passengers across the water,
and a round price was charged in some cases
The owners of some boats asked five dol
lars. A hack driver refused to take a woman
and two or three children from a house
where they were in danger of drowning be
cause ' ttaejrdrad' tsc meant tjT paying him.
Men were seen in boats in various parts of
the city distributing bread to persons who
•“' could not get out of their houses. White
flags were hung out from buildings as sig
nals of distress.
U|BA\’OE COINCIDENCES. —It is CUl'ioUS
that the -third instance of the succes
sion of a Vice President to the vacant
chair of the President Is marked, as were the
two former instances, by the fact that the
vacancy occurs in the very early part of the
term of office. President Harrison was in
augurated March 4, 1841, and died April 4
of the same yew, one month after his inau
guration. President Taylor was inaugurat
ed eight years later, March 4 1849, and died
July 9, of the same year, about four months
after entering office. President Lincoln was
inaugurated for the second term on March 4.
1865, and was killed April 14, than two
months after the commencement of the term
of office.
To Occupants or Buildings We call at
tention to an important advertisement from
Capt. 8. 8. Starr, Post Quartermaster, in this
morning's edition, to those who occupy build
ings for which the government has a claim
for rent.
Over 3,000 steam engines are employed in
boring for and pumping oil in the State of
Pennsylvania. • -
Wiiat are We Likely to ftnoW.
Though the murderer Booth has been shot,
and killed, and so public dc-sirc to a great ex
tent disappointed, for it was universally
hoped that he might fall into the hands of the
Law and be dealt with us his fearful crimi
nality deserves, it is at least gratifying to
know that one, at least, of his accomplices
has been taken alive.
From the fact that the heart of this man
Harrold tailed him when called upon to face
Death at the muzzle of the musket, we may
reasonably expect that his courage will again
give way, more easily now that its main sup
port and prop is gone, when he is again call
ed upon to confront Death at the scaffold.
We do not know whether or no sufficient
possitire and convincing evidence has been,
or can be, collected to bring to light and to
justice the whole of the band of conspirators
who plotted and achieved the death of the
President; but if States evidence, should be
required, this man, Harrold, is the very one
to give it. It may be doubted whether a
man so weak in pluck as this man evidently
was, has been trusted with all the plans of
the assassins, and whether ha could, if he
would, disclose more than the keen detec
tives have already been able to discover. If,
however, it should prove that Harrold has.
been deep in all the murderous secrets, he
will, unquestionably, to save his wretched
self from a felon’s death, reveal all he knows.
The very fact of bis arrest, and the proba
bility of his treachery to his comrades in this
bloody plot, will put them on the eager
watch for chances to escape, perhaps
from their very anxiety to leave the land
they may betray themselves to the police.
God grant that all the participants in this
foulest of foul murders be detected and pun
ished.
In Luck. —Yesterday our grim precincts
were invaded by a cataract of Ladies, each
one of whom, we have uo doubt, was pro
vided as to her head with the orthodox
“Waterfall,” which fashion inexorably de
mands of her nowaday votaries. We are
not at present thoroughly initiated into the
mysteries ot feminine head-dresses, but we
arc disposed from the looks of their heads and
hair, to swear that there was seldom or never
such an inuundation of “rats” in a legitimate
printing-office before.
There were Ladies everywhere—in our
Editorial chair—on our table—writing notes
with our pens and ink—sticking themselves
up with our paste—casting sly glances at
the Printers over tho way—flirting with the
Reporters—making love to the money man
of the Couutiug-Room, who had strayed up
stairs, and even venturing to lift their auda
cious eyes to the awful visage of the Editor
his own self.
In fact, we read, wrote, ami dwelt iu a
perfect crinoline sea for two hours. We
have seldom been so honored before, and
shall ever remember the bright aud glorious
day.
If they came from love of vc Editor, be is
highly complimented and is delighted beyond
measure; if they came to see the other fel
lows, the Editor does’nt care so much about
it.
Perhaps they are members of the new
female Freemason degree, and came here for
a little Mason- ic instruction.
Perhaps we had offended them in some
way, and they, by coming to offer the right
hand of fellowship, were thus Fay- n
to prove their Clement-cy, or perhaps, they
only came to see Clement. If such was their
ne-.fny-riQ.us design, let them own up, and
go and sin plenty more. Our office always
will be open when we hear such a welcome
“ knocking at the door.”
• ‘Our House. ” —Of course everybody wants
to kuow wiiere to go to get good things, and
as we happen to kuow of one place where
certain things of passing excellence are to be
procured, well tell, for we know we couldn’t
do our readers a greater favor.
The subject of our present discourse
is “Our House,” aud we mean ou this
occasion specially to refer to the first
jioor of said “House” of “Ours”—the ground
apartment where are dispensed, by that ever-
goodnatured, aud always ready Professor
of Bibible9, and Universal Mixologist of
Tipnlar. “Mike,” such good things as are
permitted by the “powers that be,” to be in
dulged in by “officers and civilians only.”
Ale, Cider, Soda Water, German Wines,
Sherry, and for those who choose to 'disburse
sufficient greenbacks, Champagne,are always
on tap—that is, Mike ’ll tap ’em for you as
fast and, as long as he perceives the finances
“all serene.”
The Cigars too, are of the best, the very
best, and they come from Havana too—none
of your Connecticut-built tobacco sausages,
but genuine trim, neat, well-shaped, sym
metrical beauties—with a taste so
aud perfume so aromatic that a mau will
smoke himselt into the third heaven in the
space of two cigars and three-quarters.
But the masterpiece of the establishment is
a Sherry-Cobbler. If you don't believe it, try
it, as we—are going to some of these hot
days.

To the Editors of the Savannah Daily Herald:
The news I telegraphed you to-day was
brought by the Webster. She has Northern
dates to the 28th.
Uader date of April 27th, Secretary Stan
ton telegraphed to Gen. Dix that Generals
Canby and Thomas were instructed some
days previously that Geu. Sherman’s first ar
rangement with Johnstoa was disapproved
by the Piesident, aud that they were or
dered to push the enemy iu every direction.
Gen. Halleck had telegraphed that orders
flhd been obeyed in corresponding instruc
tions from him to these Generals.
Beauregard had telegraphed to Danville,
that anew arrangement had been made with
Sherman, and that the advance of the Gth
Corps was to be suspended uutil further or
ders, but no official notification had been re
ceived by Gen. Halleck, and ha had paid uq
attention to that information.
Gen. Halleck adds:
“The papers here (Richmond) have Infor
mation to-day that Jeff Davis’ specie is mov

as possible.
“The specie taken with them is variously
estimated at from six to thirteen millions.’’

Mortuary Report* ot Savannah—lts Com*
parison with Previous Years.
To those who have a belief that Savannah
will in the year 18€", be visited by a pestilen
tial disease, wo would state that probabilities
seem against it, aud that Savannah is, in our
belief, in as perfect health as ever before at
this season.
Since tho occupation of Savannah by the
Union forces, there have been many cases of
varioloid, which cases were, upon immediate
information, at once removed from the city,
and the premises where-they originated were
placed under a strict Sanitary and police su
pervision.
The mortality for the month of April, 1865,
is unusually large; it was, however, mostly
confined to children,.and not adults. This
increased list of deaths was not from the
local population, but from the refugee*.
Prior to the war, Savannah had thirty-six
Allopathic physicians, five Homcepathic
physicians, and two Eclectics and Reform
ers. Her population was then 25,000 peo
ple; to day her population is near 28,000,
not including the military. . With this in
crease of population a decrease has occurred
in the number of medical practitioners.—
There are in our city at the present time
fourteen Allopaths and Homcepatks, and
they are sorely pressed with business.
' No contagious disease now exists within
the limits of the city. When Gen. Butler as
sumed charge of New Orleans, a prayer wag
raised to Keaveu by the Rebels- that the
‘■Crescent City" be visited by “Yel
low Jack,” and that the United States
troops be s?ut to the trenches near the
Shell road, to make his acquaintance.
Thanks to old Ben Bailer, his Street Com
missouers did not permit the Yellow Fever
to visit them, aud our present Street Com
missioner, Stearns, has we believe, granted
lor 1865 to .“Yellow Jack” his permanent
furlough, from the “Ancicut City.’’
The following is a statement of interments
in the City of Savannah for the past five
years, for the month of April in each year.
This report is of the actual white population :

Os the colored inhabitants, a large mortal
ity has existed since December last; by the
capture of Savannah they were all left- to
their oWn resources, and when disease af
flicted them, the aid of Physicians was, in
many cases, not forthcoming, therefore this
fearful mortality. .
The prospect of Savannah being this sum
mer exempt from disease, is, we believe,
good ; ancl this exemption will be in h great
degree due to tho excellent Sanitary condi
tion ot tho City, which has been brought
about by Capt. Starr aud his efficient aids.
The Schoolmaster Abroad.*—' The follow
ing copy of'a letter from a loyal mau in
Delaware we give “verbatim ct literatim.”
His patriotism must not be judged from his
spelling:
“Mr. -a—, Sir: Times is quite good at this
time and the thing of rebellion is dec! i think
the coperheada is nearly choked down for
they see that grant & sherman and the rest
of our commanders are the only peas oom
ishners that ther is and Abraham is lhare

branes and then 'rebeiion will be dien and
Jeff will have to go by tbe boarde and then
the coperheades will he a Shamed and then
they will have to repente or be darned for
ever with all the nations that for gits god.”
The moment of the President’s assassina
tion is thus particularized in the Washington
papers: There was only one character
upon the stage, Lord Dundreary. Sudden
ly one of those stupid wicked conundrums
whic h ive qll know oy heart was interrupted
by tbe sharp report of a pistol. The audi
ence bad time to wonder what new incident
of the play was thus heralded, when the out
cry was heard that tire President was shot. ,
Trenholm’s Little Deficiency.— People
have wondered how tbe rebel Secretary of
the Treasury made out his little deficiency
ot $400,000,000. The thing is clear nmv.
He had put down the Niagara Falls peace
present among his assets, but afterward
found the New York draft on Washington
for that amount dishonored.— ]V. Y. Times
