BOOTH'S DIARY T , J s? . ... r i'i Tenant to the Assassination of 1 resident r . , Lincoln Secretary Stanton has furnished a certified copy of Rooth's diary to the Piesident, which has bten published. The first entry is as fol lows : 'April 13, 14. Friday, (Ides ) Until to-day, nothing was ever thought of sacrificing to our country's wrongs. For six months we bad worked to capture Rut our cause being almost lost, something decisive and great must be done. Rut its failure was owing to others who did not strike for their country with a heart. I struck boldly and not as the papers say. I walked with a firm step through a thousand of his friends; was stopped, but pushed on. A Col onel was at his side. I shouted sic semper be fore I fired. In jumping I broke my leg. 1 passed all his pickets, rode sixty miles that night with the bone of my leg tearing the flesh at every jump. I can never repent it, though we hated to kill. Our country owed all her troubles to him. And God simply made me an instrument of his punishment." The balance of the diary is somewhat incohe rent, without any allusion to his accomplices in the assassination except the boy who accompa nied him. Certificates accompany the docu ment, showing the mutilations of the diary to have occurred before the capture. Friday, 21 After being hunted like a dog through swamps, woods, and last night being chased by gunboats till I was forced to return wet, cold, and starving, with every man's hand against me, I am here in despair.

Several speakers, for the occasion, arrived in our city on Sunday night, among whom was Mr Jos. V. Holden of Wake county,' Mr Wm. K. Coleman jf Cabarrus, (whites,) and Jas. H. Harris, colored, of Wake. Just before the hour designated for the speak ing to commence, the Union League of America, j (colored,) of Charlotte, having a procession of J at least half a mile in leogth, passed down our : principal street tc the ground allotted to the ; speakers. Alter arrival, and the vast concourse had been arranged around the speakers stand, and they having their seats . on the platform erected for them, the meeting was called to order by Dr. Woj. Sloan, who made a few pre paratory remarks, explaining the object of the meeting, and who moved that the meeting be organized by calling Dr. II. M. IVitchard to the Chair, and the appointment of the following Vice-Presidents : Messrs Saml Rerryhill, Robt R Rea, Dr. W M Kerr, (whites,) John David son, Armistead Rrown and Julius Phillips, (colored,) and Mr Chas Frazier, (white,) and John Davidson, (colored,) as marshals of the day, and Mr J K Rritton (white,) and Francis Capers, (colored,) as secretaries, which was unanimously done. Dr. Pritchard, upon taking the chair, pro ceeded to address the meeting, in which he said that he accepted the distinguished honor con ferred upon him. That this was a new era in the history of man in this vicinity, that altars were erected- in the name of the ancestors of 40,000 human beings. That God, in His in finite wisdom, had made America a free institu tion, and that we are here upon equality under the law, as American citizens and offered three cheers for the glorious old flag which bung above us, which were cordially given. After Dr. Pritchard's remarks, the meeting was opened with prayer by Chaplain Moore, (colored.) Upon motion, the chair appointed a com mittee of six to prepare resolutions for the ac tion of the meeting, consisting of Dr. Wm. Sloan, .Messrs C Frazier, and E Fullings, (whites,) and J. F. Sehcuck, R Smith and Lee Dunlap, (colored.) While the committee on resolutions retired to prepare them for the action of the meeting, Mr Jos W Holden was called upon, who favored those present with a short talk, in which he said that the meeting to-day was merely to learn our political duty, and he trusted that by this time next year all the States would be in the Union that we had organized in North Carolina a Republican Party, and that we do not propose to repel any one, but invite all to join with us to establish the Government of the United States upon a firm foundation. That the issue had been between freedom and slavery that the Northern people demanded freedom, and the Southern -slavery but they were all free now, thank God; that in this State there were 100,000 white voters and 50,000 colored that meetings had been gotten up to passify elements, not for strife. That he wanted the ' co-operation of every man that liberty aud equality were the greatest planks in the plat form of the Republican party that we wanted Igood feeling and harmony, and we wanted to gel back into the Union. That we don't want any unkind feelings, that we want all to come up cheerfully and do the work. He appealed to the colored persons preseut to go to work and. educate themselves, and wound up in a very, happy stjle. The Committee on resolutions not being ready to report, Jas. H. Harris, (colored,) being called upon made a speech of telling effect upon the multitude assembled. He told the blacks that he dido't think freedom meant idleness or child ishness that to be free means to earn. an honest living, &c , &e. In reference to the Govern ment giving lands to the freedmen, he showed very clearly and to the point, and assured those before him that all the land they would get would be that allotted for burial purposes that confiscation was a huge bug a boo, and that there was no intelligent man, North or South, who believed that any such thing could or would be brought about. He went on and told the blacks that what was their interest was the white man's that in Tennessee, Louisiana and Virginia there had been riotous proceedings, but that there had been no such thing in North Carolina, and he was proud of his native State. That political equality was one thing and social equality another, and very forcibly illustrated amalgamation, and showed that no such thing could be brought about. He advised all To lav up money and educate their children, and im pressed upon them the idea to throw away the whisky bottle. He advised the black man to stand by the Republican party, just so long as the Republican party would do right and that was his platform he was willing to take all in to its fold$. It was, indeed, a good speech, and embraced good advice to all. The Committee on Resolutions having made their report, they were handed to the Secretary, who was instructed to read them. They are as follows : Whereas, A cruel and bloody war was inau gurated in Charleston harbor, in the Spring of 1 861, against the government of the United States, in flagrant violation of existing constitutional com promises, and, in fact, for the perpetuation of African slavery; and, whereas, in the Providence of God, to the great ioy of enlightened Philan- i thropists of all nations, it eventuated in the bene ! fitient emancipation of four millions of human be- ings; now therefore, be it i Resolved, That all of us here this day a day j hallowed by its association, and consecrated to ! liberty and the political equality of man with his ! fellow unite in one accord, for the achievement ; of the great ends in view, viz: cheerful allegiance i and oledience to the government and laws of the j United States early recoiist ruction the ad i vancement of the races the moral and inlellec i tual culture of the masses of all mankind, and peace and piosperity for the land of our homes, j Resolved, That in furtherance of the realization j of these ends, we sincerely embrace the Sherman and Supplementary Acts of Congress, for the re ! construction of the Stales lately in rebellion, and i that we will as Uomgenious and patriotic citizens, ! hopefully exert ourselves for the speedy consum mation olthe came. Resolved, That we proudly assume the name of Republicans heartily plant ourselves upon the platform adopted .by Republicans of North Caro lina, at Raleigh, on 27th of March last, RnJ that henceforth we will maintain our organization, in ' accordance with the principals therein embodied; and in this connection, we invoke tbe coopera tion of all loyal men. ' : Resolved, That tbe gratitude of the people of the South - is due the government of the United States, and also many noble citizen at the North; to the one, for the magnanimous exhibition -of amnesty, where a halter might have been invo ked; and to the others, for their generous and timely contributions of bread to the poor of our people. Resolved, That the thanks of the people of the military district under command of Major Gen. Sickles, are eminently due him, for the manly promulgation of humane orders, for their pecuni ary relief. Resolved, That "with malice toward no man, and charity for all," we henceforth wish to live in fraternal union, under the ample folds of the glorious old full itarred American flag ! After the adoption of the resolutions which was done unanimously, Mr Coleman was called upon, who addressed the meeting. In commen cing he said that we cannot celebrate the 20(h May 1775, unless we celebrate the 4th July, 1776; that our revolutionary farthers were staunch and thorough going' Republicans, and went on, we un derstand, in a very good speech, which we cannot report, as we had lo leave. At the conclusion of Mr Coleman's address, we are informed that John Davidson (colored,) took the stand, and spf.ke well and feelingly to the great assembly before him inculcating excellent precepts.

Mrs. G. had some two weeks previously given birth to twins, aud while confined to her bed by illness labored under the hallucination that her babes were in the well. Between twelve and one o'clock on Wednesday, while her husband, who was sitting by her bed and holding her hand, w&s asleep, she stole from her chamber, and, proceeding to the back yard, plunged headlong into the well, a distance of sixty feet. She was almost immedi ately missed, and search made for her in tli neighborhood and along the Basin bank, but her body was not discovered for some hours, when life was, of course, extinct the probability being that s'ie was almost instantly killed by the fall. Judge McCarthy, acting coroner in the absence of Dr. Little, examined the body, but deemed no inquest necessary. Dr. Fairfax, who was tbe family physician of Mr James Green, the husband of the deceased, in forms us that Mrs. Green was much deranged in mind during her illness, and, fearing that some accident might occur, he had warned the family against leaving her alone, advice which they scru pulously and faithfully observed.
