Nicolay and John Hay, private secretaries of the Pres ident. Of course the article is given from a partisan stand-point, and an attempt made to justify the murder of Mrs. Surratt; bat for all that it is tbrlUingly interesting, and will convince any impartial mau that when John Wiikea Booth fired bis fatal fihot be killed a man who was ready and willing to act with justice by the Southern States, and that the assassination of President Lincoln was a disastrous blow to the peace and rights of the South. The last Cabiuct meeting held by Mr. Lincoln and bis advisers, to dis ouss the treatment by the govern ment of the late rebellious Southern States is thus described by the Cen* ury : «y South, be woi no nure of the Cabinet under hi a gaidance, that he was anxious to dose the K inod of strife without overmuch discussion. • . as particularly desirous to avoid the shedding of blood, or any vindiclivenesa of punishment. Ue gave plsin notiee thst morn lot ' lag that ba would have none of it. ' Mo one seed expect he wonld take say part in banging or killing these men, evea the worst of thorn. Frighten them out of the country, open the gates, letdown the bare, scare them oil, asid he, throwing up his bands as if so sting sheep. ' Enough lives have been sacrificed; we mnst extinguish oar resentments if we expect har mony and anion 1’ He deprecated the disposi tion be had seen in some quarters to bsctor and dictate to the people of the South, who were trying to right themselves. He regretted that suffrage, under propet arrangement bad not been given to the negroes in Looisians, bat he held tost their constitution was In ths main a good one. He was averse to the exereise of arbitrary powers by the Executive or by Con gress. Congress had the undoubted right to reeeive or reject members; the Executive had no oontroi in this s bnt the Executive could do very much to restore order in the Statea, and their practical relations with tha Government, before Congress came together. “ Ur. Stanton then read hie plan for the tem porary military government of the States of Virginia and North Carolina, which for this purpose were combined in one department. This gave rise at once to extended discussion, Ur. Welles and Mr. Dennison opposing tbs scheme of uniting two States under one gov ernment. The President closed the aeasien bv saying the same objection had occurred to him, and by directing Mr. Stanton to revise the document and report separata plana tor the gover -meat of the two States. He did not wish the autonomy nor the individuality of the States destroyed. He commended the whole subject to the moat earnest and careful consid cration of the Cabinet; itwaa to be resumed on tbe following Tuesday; it was, he said, the gnat dotation pending—they most now begin io not to the interest of peace. '‘These wen the Iasi words thst Lincoln moke to bis CabintL They dispersed with these words of elemsney and good-will io their aan, never again to meat under bis wise and benignant chairmanship." Tile Century says thst from the very beginning of his Presidency Mr. Lincoln had been constantly subject to the threats of his enemies and warning of his frinn ds. To these the President paid no attention, and when cautioned against a too reck less exposure of his life, said : (< 0ur friends on the other side would make nothing by exchanging me for Ham lin,” the Vice-President having the reputation of being more radical in his views than his chief. The Century continues : “Ha knew indoed that uiciiemtnta to murder him were not uncommon in the South. An ad vertisement bad appeared in a paper of Salma, Alabama, in December, 1864, opening a sub scription for lands to effect the assassination of Lido ^lo v St ward mod Johnson before the inauguration. .There was more of this mnrder- oas spirit abroad than was suspected. A letter was found in the Confederate Archives from one Lieutenant Alston, who wrote to Jefferson Dsvis immediately after Lincoln’s re-election offering to 'rid his country or some of hergdeadliest enemies by striking at the vary heart a blood of thoae who seek to enehaiu hnrgin slavery.’ This proposal was referred, bvflr. Davis’, directions, to ths Secretary oi War; and by Judge Campbell, Assistant 8ee- ratary ofWar, was sent the (Confederate Ad- jntant-General indorsed 'for attention.’ Al though he freely discussed with the officials about him tiie possibilities of danger, he al ways eontidered them remote, gs is the habit of moo! constitutionally brave, and positively rtrfbraJ’to torment himself *th pS for his own safety. He would sum the matter up by saying that both friends and tatrauers mu*6 have daily access to him in all manner ef P 1 *® 8 *: life was therefore In reach of any one, sane or mad, who was ready »oimurderand be hanged for it; that he could not possibly gnanl against all danger unless be up “ •" >ron box, in wbichfrondmon he could scarcely perform the dntiaa of a President; by the hand of murderar he could dle oniy ?ace ; to go con- tinnally in few would bsjto dlo ovarandovsr.He therefore went in and ont before the people, always unarmed, generally unattended: 1? wonfl receive hundreds of visitors in a day. 0r knife - He pat t ment and back. He wonld ride through ^?, TX^*n 0f ** “«“Labited suburb from the White House to the Soldier’s Home in t l.c dnslc of evemng, and return to his work in the morning before tbe town vis sstir.” We do not believe tbe above. Mr, Davis was too brave a man to coun tenance assassination, and if tbe letter of Capt. Alston was referred as stated above, it was doubtless done in tbe absence of the bead of tbe Southern Confederacy, or passed with other papers without knowing its contents. £ • . Tbe Century devotes considerable space to describing the preparations of Booth and bis fellow conspirators for tbe assassination. It was at first due disobey • After tbe surrender of Lee an ex cess of malice and rage akin to mad- uess aeixed upon Booth. He was an ardent sympathizer with the South, and Conscientiously believed that be was acting the part of a Bra ins in removing tbe chief enemies of his people. The original schsme to abdnet Mr. Lincoln and hold him as a hostage was abandoned, and bis desth decreed. Booth was assisted by Powell, alias Paine, a simple- minded boy from Florida, who was to murder Seward ; Atzerodtwas as signed to remove Andrew Johnson ; it was Herold’s duty to attend Booth as a page and escape. These parties bad previously deposited at a tavern at Surrattville, Md., owned by Mrs. Snrratt, weapons, ropes, etc., to be used in the abduction. In order to connect this lady with the assassins it is charged that on the 11th of April she, living at tbe tavern, told Lloyd, the proprietor, to have ths shooting irons in readiness. Tbe preparations for the assassination were made in feverish baste ; it was only about noon of tbe 14tb, that 'Booth learned that tbe President was to go to Ford’s theatre that night. The Century describes tbe preps rations made by Booth for tbe assas sination Elberton is one of the best business points in upper Georgia, and her people are liberal and enterprising. The Geor gia.

Grant to accompany ber ;they bad accepted, bnt they changed their minds and want North by an atternoon train. Mrs. Lincoln then in vited in their stead Miss Harris and Major Rathbone. The President had been detained by visitors, and the play had made some prog- ' in he arrived. Wbenjhe appeared in I struck up 'Hail to the Chief,’ ress when he arrivei his box the band str the actors ceased playing sad tbs aadienee rose, leheering tumultuously ; the President bowed in acknowledgement of this greeting sad tbe play went on. From the moment Booth ascertained the President’s iotsntions to attend the theater in the evening his everv action was alert aid en ergetic. He and bia confederates. Herald, Suriatt, and Atxerodt, ware seen on horseback in every part of tbe city. He had a harried conference with Mrs. snrratt before she started to Lloyda tavean. He Intrusted to an actor named M attbews a carefully prepared statement of his reason* for committing the murder, which he charged him to give to the publisher ofjthe National Intelligencer, but which Mat thews, in tb* terror and dismay of the night, burned without showing to anyone. Booth was perfectly at bomv ip Ford’s Theater, where he was greatly liked by all the employees. Either by himself or with the aid of friends he arranged;his whole plan of attack and escape duriagjth* afternoon. He counted npon ad dress and audacity to gain access to the small passage behind the Presidents box; once there, he guarded against interference by an arrange- iimple mortise in the angle of the wall an dthe door by whieh ha entered, so that the door could not be opened from without. Ho even provided |for the contingency of not gaining intrance to tha box by boring a hole in its door,through which he might either observe its occupants or take aim and shoot. Ho hired at a livery stable a small, fleet horse. Tbe moon rose that night at ton o'clock. A description follows of bow Booth easily gained access to that portion of tbe theatre where the President and his party were, after taking sev eral drinks of brandy. The assas si nation is thus described : “ Holding a pistol la one band, and a knife lathe other,ho opened the box doer, put the pistol to the President’s bead, and find s drop ping tha weapon, be took the knife in his right ■land, and when Major Rathbone sprang to seize him ho struck savagely at him.
