FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1864
Prescott. the Historian..
William Hickling Prescott, the historian, born at
Mehl, New England, on the fourth of May, 1.19 G,
died at Batton, On the 28th Tannery, 1859, in Ms
sixty. third year. Beyond question, all circum
stances 'considered, he was the most remark able
among the men of letters which our country—we
might say, which our time—has produced. The difl
culties he had to contend with, from almost total de
privation of sight ; the trouble he must have had to
imbue his mind with knowledge, by aid of a reader ;
the heavy tasks which he must have imposed upon
his memory; the painful industry with which he
compoced his voluminous, accurate, and brilliant
works, making chapters in his mind ere they were
set down upon paper ; the perseverance with which,
despite his defective vision and always feeble health,
he carried out his high purpose of authorship ; the
patience which sustained him through his labors and
his aufferings ; the utter absence of personal vanity
or pride, when the world hailed him as one
of Its greatest men ; the trusting faith in an
alb wise Providence which so well susts , .ned
him ; the silken ties of affection and regard which
bound him not only to his family and his friends,
but to all who same within the magic circle or his
acquainiallee—all these, united In one person, made
Prescott at once a great and a true man, ilia son set
when we had reason to hope that Ida labors for
mankind bad not all ended ; but it went down on the
fullness of his fame. His work, well accomplished,
drew renown to him from all parts of the world, and
it will live alter him. Non (minis =Han
Piro years ago, when his death was announced,
the quertion arose—Who will tie the biographer of
Freacotti When it was announced that (leMe
Ticknor, his lifefriend, had undertaken that re
sponsible duty, the public mind was at ease. For
the two men had been - connected by the closest ties
of friendship for nearly half a century, their in
timacy having commenced at school ; and Prescott
took counsel with his friend on his literary :under
takings, more freely and frequently than with any
other person, and counted upon hint, in case of Nur-
Vivorphip, to write some account of his life. afore
over, lilt, Ticknor was acquainted with Mr. Fro
wn's familiars and acquaintances at home, as well
as with most of his friends and correspondents
abroad. Lastly, his own History of Spanish Litera
ture, which bar exhausted the subject, gave evi
dence of his high ability. Many things concurred
in pointing out George Ticknor as the moat suirable
person to write the Life of William Hisicling „,
Prescott.
The work has lately appeared. It is a volume of
601 pages, small quarto; beautifully bound ; printed
in the old English fashion, at the University Press,
Cambridge; on tinted paper, capitally indexed;
embellished with portrait and bust-portrait on
steel, a foolscap fee-simile of noetograph hand
wilting ; seventeen exquisite wood-cuts, chiefly
from drawings by Warren, and a number of deli
cately cut headpieces and initial letters, also from
original designs. We doubt whether any biographi
cal work, anywhere produced, at all approaches the
material beauty of this superb volume. Boston
publisher., and especially Ticknor N. Fields, have
won great reputation frora the manner in which
their books are brought out; but this volume eclipses
all previous achievements in that line.
The execution of the Life of Prescott places it on
a level with the two leading biographies in our
langusge—Boswells Life of Johnson, and Look
hart's Life of Scott. The continuous interest which
the reader must feel in these three works largely
arises from the very intimate knowledge which
each biographer possessed of his subject. There
seldom has been any hermworahip so profound all
Boswell, the parasite, for burly Johnson, "the
great Chain of Literature." The fatally ties which
connected Lockhart with Scott, whose fullconlidence
he enjoyed for years, made him very fully acquaint
ed with the man, very capable of properly estimat
ing his character. The close intimacy which bound
Ticknor and Prescott together from childhood even
to the close, has mainly helped to make this biogra
phy the charming and reliable book it is. Mr.
Ticknor, we can see, bad a difficulty, on account of
his friend's perfection of conduct and character. He
bad no romantic episodes to introduce, no heart.
quakes of pension to chronicle—nothing but to trams
the somewhatuneventful, yet not monotonouslife of
one of the most genuine, unaffected, gifted, affec
tionate, and virtuous gentleman ever endowed by
Gad with a gentle as well as great mind. In doing
this, he has so freely used Mr. Prescott's corre
spondence and journals that, in a manner, the book
is autobiographical.
From the age of twelve, Mr. Prescott lived in
Boston. He entered Harvard College at fifteen, and
there exhibited, with a strong taste for English
literature, an insuperable antipathy to mathematics.
Hie obtaining cohege honors, therefore, was out of
the question. lip to the age of seventeen, his health
Was excellent, but there then Occurred an accident
which affected the tenor of his future life. There
was some rough frolicking among the under-grade.-
sees in the Common Hall after dinner, anti as
Prescott was leaving the room he was struck on the
open left eye by a large, hard piece of bread, thrown
undoubtedly at random. He fell, and was removed
to his father's house. Mr. Ticknor says :
"The first elects of the blow were remarkable.
They were, in fact, such as commonly attend a con
cussion of the brain. The strength of the patient
was instantly and completely prostrated. Sickness
at the stomach followed. file pulse was feeble. Ills
face became pale and shrunken, and the whole tone
of his system was reduced so low that he could not
sit up in bed. But his mind was calm and char,
and be was able to give a distinct account of the
accident that had befallen him, and of what had
preceded and followed it.
"Under such circumstances, no active treatment
was deemed advisable. Quiet was strictly pre
scribed. Whatever could tend to the least ex
citement, physical or intellectual, was forbidden.
And then Nature was left to herself. This, no
doubt, was the wisest course. At any rate, me
system, which had at first yielded so alarm
ingly to the *Macke gradually recovered Its
tone, and in a few weeks he returned to Cam
bridge, and pursued his studies as if nothing very
serious had happened; 'a little more cautiously,
perhaps, in some respects, but probably with no
diminution of such very moderate diligence as he
had previously practised. But the eye that had
been struck was gone. No external mark, either
then or af:erwarde, indicated the injury that had
been inflicted; and although a glimmering light Wite
still perceptible through the ruined organ, there
was none that could be made useful for any Of the
practical purposes of life. On a careful examina
tion, such as I once made, with magnifying leases,
at his request, under the direction of a distinguished
oculist, a difference could indeed be detected between
the injured eye and the other, and sometimes, as I
sat with him, I have thought that it seemed more
dim ; but to common observation, in society or in
the streets, as in the well-known case of the author
of the Paradise Loan , no change was perceptible.
It was, in fact, a case of obscure, deep paralysis of
the retina, and as such was beyond the reach Of the
healing ant from the moment the Mow was given."
After a time he was able to return to College,
where he completed his course, and then he com
menced the study of law, his father's profession.
Acute rheumatism settled in his sound eye, prevent
ing reading and study, and threatening to terminate
in total blindness. He was sent off to Europe, to
consult the beet oculists there, and left Boston, in
the autumn of tele, for the Azores, to winter with
hie maternal grandfather, who was U. S. Consul at
St. Michael's. Here, immediately after his arrival,
his eye again became diseased, and he had to re
main, in a dark room and upon low diet, for three
months. He did not reach London until April,
1816, and employed the following year fn travel
through England, France, and Italy. The oculists
whom he consulted told him that there wae•com
plete paralysis in the eye originally injured, and
that the other could only be strengthened by
stesegthening the whole system. There was ne
Use, therefore, in his pursuing law on his return
home. Fortunately, his father was in easy eircum•
stances. On his twenty-fourth birth-day, in 1820, he
married Miss Amory, still eurviving.
" Another coincidence connected with this mar
riage should be added, although it was certainly one
that augured little of the happiness that followed.
The grandfathers of Mr. Prescott and Miss Amory
had been engaged on opposite sides during the war
for Amerlon independence, and even on opposite
Riau of the same fight—Col. Prescott having coin
mended on Bunker Hill, while Capt. Linzee, of the
sloop•of war Falcon, cannonaded him and his re
deubt nom Ihe waters of Charles river, where the
Falcon was moored during the whole of the battle.
The swords that had been worn by the soldier and
the sailor on that memorable day came down as
heirlooms in their respective families, until at last
they met in the library of the man of letters, where,
quietly crossed over his books, they often excited
the notice alike of strangers and of friends. After
his death they were transferred, as he had desired,
to the Historical ,Society of Massachusetts, on
whose walls they have become the memotials at
once of many a hard•fOUgbt field, and of 'victories
no less renowned than those of war.' A more ap•
propriate restlng.place for them could not have bsen
found. And there, we trust, they may rest in p•:see
So long as the two nations shall exist—trophies in.
deed, of the past, but warnings for the future."
These ftle the swords to which Thackeray made a
peaceful allusion, in the opening of "The Vir
ginians."
Well-educated, highly.gifted, and not wit out
ambition, Prescott resolved not to be a drone in
society. After much thought, he Chose literatu , eas
his profession, and proceeded at once to prepare
himself for it, by re educating himself, not merely as
to the classics, but in English literature, which he
studied from the mere rudiments of the gramma , , up
to its best productions. He did little more, then,
than dip into French literature, but took kindly to
Italian poetry, which he relished to the last. He
attempted to acquire German, but relinquished it in
despair. Restudied Spanish instead—rather lightly
at first, but soon so earnestly that he Came to write
it with idiomatic vigor. nlr. Ticknoes stb. and 6th
chapters are devoted to en account of Prese3tns
postrearital studies, and are deeply interesting.
At the age of twenty. nine Prescett determine I to
Write history. He first thought of an American, then
au Italian, and finally chose a Spanish subject—the
History of the Reign of Ferdinand and Isabella.
Early in 1827, he commenced collecting materials.
From that time until his death, he availed himself
of the services of a reader, for, at times, he was
wholly unable to use his eye, and, at best, could
only do so for a sbost time each day, and then in a
subdued light. His writing Was accomplished by
using a mechanical apparatus called a Noctograph,
invented for blind people. Imperfect as it was—for
it did not allow of erasure or correction in the wri
ting—it was of much use to him. Three years and a
half after he bad selected his subject, he commenced
composing his history. He was a month over his
first chapter, and atterwrrds it was all rewritten.
Tu o months more brought him to the end of his
third chapter. IL'a June, 1835, ten years from his de.

termining to write it, the History was complete. It
was not published until December, 1831. Da success
W6B Immediate and complete. At this time, he was
nearly forty-two years old. 4e applause which
greeted him from Europe equalled that which he
received at home.
It was impossible for him, after this, to sit with
his bands folded before him, lie thought of writing
a life of Moliere, and collected some materials which
he did not use. He resolved on the Conquest of
Mexico as a suitable subject, beginning to write in
the summer of 183% and publishing his book, in
three volumes, in December, 1843. Again, the praise
from England e.ne. the Continent equalled that which
was freely accorded to him here. The leading
literati in Europe became his eulogists and cor
respondents. When he revisited the Old World in
1850 he found himself among admirers and friends,
the gifted and the noble alike anxious to pay him
the due honor which his recognized genius so richly
deserved.
Early in 1844, he fixed on the Conquest of Peru as
his next subject. The death of his father and other
circumstances interfered With his work at first, but,
when he was regularly engaged on it, his progress
WAS rapid. It was published in the spring of 1847,
and so impressed was his London publisher with
his merit, that lie paid $4,000 for the copyright in
England.
After Iris visit to England, in 1850, he began his
Life of Philip the Second of Spain, two volumes of
which were published in November, 1855. In that
year, too, he wrote a conclusion to Robertson's Life
of Charles V. Early in 1656, he resumed his labors
on Philip 11., doing something for it daily, but was
interrupted by an attack. of apoplexy in February,
1853. The third volume, however, was published
towards the close of that year, In January, 1659.
he was engaged or. the fourth 'volume—but his sud
den death ended all his labor. It was sudden—
caused by apoplexy. Mr. Ticknor says :
"He would himself have preferred such a death,
if choice bad been permitted to him. He had often
said so to me and to others ; and none will gainsay,
that it was a great happiness thus to die, surrounded
byll -those nearest and dearest to him, except one
.loved son, who was at a distance, and to
too, with unimpaired faculties, and with affections
not only as fresh and true as they had ever been, but
wl4oh, in his own home, and in the Innermost circle
of his friends, had seemed to grow stronger and more
tender to the last." r
The careful reader of this biography by Ticknor
must arrive at the conclusion that it iirdifßoult to
determine whether Prescott wars most good or great.
In .every social relation his life was honorable,
*Amiable, and of crystalline lucidity. As a man of
letters, he contended with and Overcame difficulties
such as no other writer ever had to
Ticknor says :
"That Mr. Prescott, under his disheartening
refer not only to his imperfect sight, but
to the rheumatism from which he was seldom wholly
free—should, at the age of dve•and.twenty or thirty,
with no help but this simple apparatus, have as
piled to the character of an historian dealing with
events that happened in times and countries tel dis
tant hom his own, and that are recorded chiefly in
foreign language's and by authors whose conflicting
testimony was ellen to be reconciled by laborious"
comparison, is a remarkable fact in literary lliatorY.
It it a problem the solution of which was, I believe,
never before undertaken; certainly never before at
complirhed. Nor do I conceive that he himself
could have accomplished it, unless to his uncommon
intellectual gifts had been added great animal aid
lite, a strong, persistent will, and a moral _courage
which was to be daunted by no obstacle that he
might deem it possible to remove by almost any
amount of effort.”
He affixes a note here, NI this effect, " The cue of
ninny—the nearest known to me—was different."
His great work, "Histoire de la Conquette de rAn
- gleferre par lea Normand'," was written before he
became blind, What he published afterward was
dictated—wonderful, indeed, all of it, but especially
all that be did for the commission of the Govern
ment concerning the Tiers Etat, to be found in
grand collection of Documents inAdits cur
toire de France,' begun under the auspices a
flume of M. LCiuizot, when he was minist
Louis Philippe." Prescott's devotion to his profel";
"ion we. very remarkable. Mr. Ticknor says :
"One thing in this connection may be noted as re•
markable. Be knew that if he Would ,give tip
literary labor altogether his eye would be better at
once, and would last longer. His physicians all
told him so, and their opinion was rendered certain
by his own experience ; for whenever he ceased to
work for some time, as during a visit to New York
in 1842, and a visit to Europe in 1E3.50,—in short,
whenever he took a journey, or indulged himself in
holidays of such a sort as prevented him from look
ing into books at all, or thinking much about them,—
his general health immediately became more vi
gorous than might have been expected front a relief
so transient, and his sight was always improVed
sometimes materially improved. But he would not
pay the price. He preferred to submit, if it should
be inevitable, to the penalty of ultimate blindness
rather than give up his literary pursuits."
Here was a martyr to literature. There is not
another such instance upon record.
May we venture to throw a suggestion relative to
this work? In due time, no doubt, a cheap popular
edition will be published. We think that if Mr,
Ticknor—and none other can do it properly—would
abridge it, so as to give merely the personal history
of Prescott, it might advantageously become a hand
book in the various schools throughout the country.
The grand. almost sublime, self-dedication of Prep
cott to knowledge is a living lesson to all, and espe
cially to the young.
We have mentioned how Prescott corresponded
with the leading literati of Europe, with many of
wham he eventually entered into terms of friend
ship. Their letters, and his own, are full of inte
rest, and his heme-correepondenee, describing places
and persona abroad, and especially during his visit
to Ergland, in 1850, give charming glimpses of the
beet society there, into which comparatively few
Americana were then admitted.
Ventilating and Warming 'Railway Car.
riages.
To the Editor of The Press:
WoacmsTEß, Mass., Jan. 20, 1864
Sin : Whilst in Buston ; yesterday, a friend haoded
me a number of your paper of the 14th inst., in which
I was surprised to find a most uncalled-for attack
upon the merits of my car stove.
If the writer had confined himself to this I should
have given Min credit for sincerity at least; but
when he takes advantage of the alleged demerits of
my stove to praise another, it may be fairly sup.
posed that he has some purpose to ans wee.
I know nothing whatever about the statement of
the Michigan Central ears having been stopped by
the snow, Sui., further than what I tied in your
paper. But, taking for granted that this accident
has accursed, I deny that it had any effect on 'La
burning ), of my stove, as it will burn just as well
when the car is standing still as when it is in motion.
It is not an uncommon thing for trains to be stop
ped by snow and other obstructions ; but I never be
fore heard a complaint of any kind against the stove
in question.
however, it be true that it has, in this solitary
instance, behaved so badly as not to heat a car with
the thermometer at "32° below zero," it was simply
because the valves in the receiving-cap on the top of
the oar had got fixed by the snow, and the ventila
tion being a new thing, the employds did not think
of clearing the snow away.
For warming and Ventilating a oar there is no
stove at all equal to it in any country; for whilst
the warmth is equally distributed from end to end
Of the oar, the air is rapidly drawn down, and rune
In a flue, three inches deep, the whole width of the
length of the seats from end to end of the car, the
feet of all the passengers resting upon this warmed
flue.
Without prolonging this not; or imitating the
style of the writer, in applying the terms "bogus
stove," ”foreign artiole,” S.e., I close by stating
that all of my car stoves now in use on so many
railways in ()amide and the United States, were,
and continue to be, manufactured in Rochester,
N. Y., and never were in any " foreign country."
With regard to the charge of" ignorant* of the
first principles," &0., preferred against me, it oer•
tainly come, with a very bad grace from one who
shows himself ignorant of the first principles which
govern the physical properties of heat. It matters
not whether the heated air be introduced at the hot
tom or the top of an apartment, or any other point;
the flow is in a compact stream or body, until it is
stopped by the ceiling of the apartment, and thence
it spreads itself over the whole ceiling, and tills the
room or car from top to bottom, not from bottom to top.
There is a physical impossibility in making it
spread itself over the bottom of a room filled with
air of a lower temperature—anti this every child
ought to know.
If this rival stove be such a prodigy, I should like
to know how it comes that it always takes two of
them to warm a oar in a Pennsylvania climate,
whilst no one ever saw more than one of mine, in
much larger cars, and in a Quebec climate.
The Amnesty Proclamation.
To the Editor of The Press:
Siix: In conversation recently with officers from the
West end the Army of the Potomac ' " the Atuneety
Proclamation" of the President wee discussed. Said
en officer of the "White Star Division," "if we
had copies of the proclamation we could scatter
them among the rebel troops in such a way as to do
us much good."
Would it not be a good idea for the Government to
have copies of the proclamation, in pamphlet form,
distributed among the rank and file of our armies,
to be scattered among the rebel troops whenever op
portunity offers / Yours, R. W.

What Has Gone with the Tax in Kind.
Jo the Editor of the Richmond Whig:
I learn that, under the above tax, the officers of
Government have received a large quantity of peas,
and Irish and sweet potatoes, and, perhaps, other
things. If en, I wish to know what has become of

some of whom have a right to drew, and come to

already removed from command, and General Hayes
(an inferior in rank) rubelituted. After putting
this and that togethet, people will draw their own
conclusions. Spinola has publicly disavowed the
brutal and fraudulent acts of his euboriinates ; a
thing easily accomplished, notwithstanding the high
price of stationery. It is not positively ascertained,
however, that this expression of regret will make
any substantial amends to the poor fellows who
have been enlisted while etripeded with liquor, or
boldly kidnapped from their families. Should the
court martial see fit to sift the matter thoroughly,
and do justice to those moat vitally interested, the
brigade Mgt be heavily depicted, if it be allowable
to judge of these abominable outrages by the charges
which have been boldly and openly made against

The vast increase of the Insurance business in this
city affords a significant comment upon our metro
politan prosperity. During the past year the insu
ranee capital hap been augmented by come floe mil
lions of dollars, making a grand total of about
twenty-five millions. A pleasant appendix, truly,
to Southern predictions of universal stagnation and
ruin. As an offset to such solid atatistica, the un
substantial land tumble•downhsh aspect of Wall
street affairs is worthy of notice. It is literally
overrun by the constant Influx of fresh sipeoulators
and brokers. Millionaires, bankrupts, and a host
of financial Wilkins Micawbers have established
themselves within' its speculative preeincte, bent
upon tortbring gold, and leading stocks in a spider
'dance. There is absolutely a dearth of offices in
Wall street. All is a solid chunk of brokers, wedg
ing, elbowing, and scrimmaging together like so
many blue-bags in Chancery Lane, London, during
term time. It seems to be the Ultima Thule of um
versa! desire. Too many cooks spoil the broth;
and sober-minded people are anticipating a crash,
and a tumble of meths," in Spain, which will bury
Bulls and Bears alike.
After Wall street comes New Orleans. AU who
cannot get into the former are flying off in tangents
to the latter. The rage for New Orleans has grown
almost to a mania. Fortunes are supposed to be
insuperable appendages to the working of the Go ,
vet/anent plantations, and the fever for emigration
to the Crescent City seems continually on the in
crease.
Arrangements are being perfected for a metropo•
lit an fair, he receipts of whirl are to be devoted to
the uses of the Sanitary Commission. It is to be
inaugurated upon a gigantic scale, and the receipt
of an immense sum is confidently predicted. Doubt•
leer, our citizens will enter upon the plan with com
mendable enthusiasm, not only from patriotic and
benevolent motives, but also with the desire of vie
dicatiug their metropolitan pride. The date assigned
for its commencement is the oath Iclarch next.

[Frol32 the A ew York World, yesterdes.)
Another dreadful tragedy, having its origin in do-
Muni° raillery, occurred yesterday, at r o'clock P.
M., in !font of preixdoeo No. 282 Grand street, and
Molted In the almost instant death of William H.
Williams, the well•known bill-poster of this city,
who met his fate at the hands of Robert 0. Haines,
also a resident of this city. Coroner Viiildey hap
pened to be in the vicinity of the murder at the time
of its occturence, and promptly iostituted an inquest
in the case. Haines was taken into custody and
the body of the deceased was conveyed to the Tenth
precinct station-house, and a jury empaneled, oefore
whom all the facts in the ease were developed.
From the testimony it appeared that-for some four
years past deceased had been living with prisoner's
wife, Mrs. Louisa Haines, at No. 282 U-rand sthaet,
much against the prisoner's will. The latter had
often remonstrated with her on the impropriety of
her conduct, often visiting the house and supplica
ting her to return to him and live with him. He
tole her he had tried to love other women, but could
not, and that he could not bear to see one rightfully
belonging to him in the arms of another. He also
wrote her several letters, begging her to come and
live with him. Finding his entreaties unavailing,
he determined on the death of Mr. Williams. He
had planned this so deliberately that he made no
secret Of his intentions, and gave due notice several
hours before the e0ft1i111.9610.12 of the deed Of What he
intended to do.
About 1 o'clock yesterday he went to the house
No. 282 Grand street, and met deceased, who was
standing in the door-stoop. He talked with him a
Jew moments, but evidently received nosatiefaction.
Deceased parsed him, arm moved on toward the
Bowery. Prisoner then drew from his pocket a
very iteavy, old style, double•barreled pistol,
and discharged both barrels simultaneously at
deceased. The pistol was very heavily charged,
and both explosions sounded like one. One
of the balls entered the forehead at the left eyebrow,
and the other about an inch above, both /edging in
the brain. Deceased fell dead instantly. Prisoner
then went into the home. Officer Lucas, of the po
lice telegraph office, who resides at 280 Grand street,
heard the report arid rushed out of the house. He
was told prisoner had entered premises 282, and im
mediately went in alter him, but found officer Smith,
of the Tenth precinct, having the prisoner in mato
dy, He was brought out and conveyed to the eta
tiem-house. The affair caused intense excitement in
the neighborhood, as the parties were well known,
and a large crowd followed the prisoner and the
body of deceased. Au the witnesses were also
taken along t and the facts connected with the terri
ble affair arrived at directly.
After a brief deliberation the jury rendered a ver
dict that "deceased came to his death by a pistol
shot wound at the hands of Robert o.llaines,
January 27, 1864."
Upon the rendition of this verdict the prisoner
was brought up for the usual examination, and in
reply to questions put to him by Coroner Wildey,
he said :
" My name is Robert C. Hahne ; I am forty-abs
years of age and a native of England ; I reside at
twenty-six Eivington street and am a painter by
trade; I went to Williams today and demanded
my wife, and he said `go to hell,' making a motion
With his,band ; then I shot Wm. , '
The prisoner up to this time had not been
searched. Coroner Wildey discovered this by ask
ing the officer if he had found anything on him. The
latter replied that he had not searched him. Upon
this being done a five - barreled revolver, loaded in
every barrel, was found in one of his pockets, and a
bottle or Anew= in the other. He told Dr. Gao.
B. BOUton, who made the post-mortem examination
of deceased, that he meant to have killed. Willitiela
first and himself afterwards.
The prisoner was committed to the Tombs to
await the action of the grand jury. Throughout the
taking of the testimony, all parties were very much
affected. The prisoner sobbed bitterly. IVirs.
Haines, her sister, and the other female witnesses
wereentinually in teare, the slightest allusions to
deceased being sufficient to cause another outburst.
Deceased was very well known in this city. He was
forty. five years of age and a native of New York.

the trial of the Carbon county "Buckshot"oritoners
on Tuesday lest.
The first trial wan against Philip Bergman. Pe
cording to the testimony, the prisoner belonged t othe sworn secret organization known as the " Golden
Circle." They held their meetings at the house of
Conrad Horn, above Hazleton. Ed Winters was the
president, and administered the oath. The members
of the Circle were instructed and sworn to support
" the o:lnstitution as it is and the Union as it was" to
Ma each other in evading the draft, and to discourage
all efforts to raise men for the army. According to
the instructions of the president, (Winters,) the lead
ing members of the organization are General Lee,
of the rebel army, and Generals McClellan and
McDowell, of the 'United States army. In case a
member is forced into the army, by draft, he is in
structed, when on picket, to go over to the enemy
in the following manner : He will give the hailing
sign by raising hie hat over his head three times ;
the rebel picket, seeing this, and if a member of
the order, will make the same sign,_ when the fol
lowing dialogue will ensue : 'Rebel Picket—
" Halt." Union Picket—" Ho." R. P. —" R.
D." (the initials of Richmond). U. P.—" Ho." The
rebel picket will then say "Richmond," which
completes the ceremony; and the Union picket win
the n go over, and either es taken on to Richmond
and kept there until the war is over, or sent back on
parole. The secret mode of entering a "Circle" is
ny giving three raps at the door. The guard will
then receive from him the password,
which will admit him into the room. Whilst walk
ing through the room to take his neat, he makes a
sign by simply pressing the ends of the fore ii-igor
and thumb of the right hand together, and both
come in a natural position. The Witnesses dis
closing these fautr were themselves members; and.
attended meetings with the prisoner, Conrad Horn,
and others.
Bergman, one of the Raid witnesses, and three
Ohms, waited on Mr. Mumper, at Audenried, and
notified him to atop the mines • that the Govern
ment litre no more ooteuntu the draft is
stopped and the war ended. hlr, Mumper and others
certified to the fact of giving solid notice.
The defence offered testimony to prove Bergman's
good character for loyalty, &o. and that 's he voted
for Lincoln." He may have Wien Mom grace. How
.he voted at the hest election is not known to the

ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION OF THE KENO OF DEN-
MARE IN SCHLESWIG.
[From the London Poet, January 7.
The telegraph has already announced that the
King Of Denmark has gone to join his army in

have been led to believe that this province flu
thrown off allegiance to his Majesty, to be informed
that the King who is accompanied by the young
shown Prince, in.' been received by the inhabitant.
with every demonstration of loyalty and affection.
But so it was.
On the arrival of the King and his eon at Fleas
burg on Friday, they were received most joyfully by
the civil and military authorities, and the demon
etrations made by the officials were not more hearty
then were those made by the inhabitants generally.
It was known at Flensburg on Thursday by tela•
graph that the King would land there next day on
his way to Schleswig, and early on Friday morning
the church steeples, the public buildings, the •hips,
and even the windinille, as well as many private
houses, were gaily and profusely adorned with the
liannebrog.
Shortly before noon the royal steam vessel Slesvig
came insight, up the Flensburg Fiord, and loon af
terwards came alongside the landing-place for steam
vessels, which was decorated with flags and tilled
with an immense concourse of people.
As soon as the King and hie son were perceived,
they were greeted with loud and deafening shouts
of welcome, which were reechoed by the dense mese
of people who thronged the streets. Tee King drove
in an epee carriage tram the north gate to the rail
way station, and was cheered most lustily by the
crowds, who waved their hat. and shouted as long
as the royal carriage was in sight. His Majesty and
the Crown Prince remained in Flensburg about an
hour, and then left for SchleeWig, where he arrived
about 3 o'clock.
The eornmanderin-chief of the Danish troops, Ge
neral laza, bas also arrived at Schleswig, as well
as other military officers high in command. Troops
continue to come from the northerly parts of the
kingdom by pleam veseels.

said : 6, The elements almost exactly resemble those

this is the first return to the perihelion since 1810,
