c TEE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 18GG. LITER AT UHE. IIBVJEW OF NEW, 1300KH. Months at the Whttk JIousic with Abraham Lincoln. Uy F. B. Carpenter. Ilurd & lloughton. ' , We had formed high exportation? of this work of Mr. Carpenter's, as he had ample or portunlty by personal contact for compiling a full and spicy record of the daily lite of the lamented Lincoln. In some respects he has fulfilled our expectations, and In some ho has failed . We are led to believe that Mr. Car penter was not in near so intimate personal relations with the President as newspaper paragraphs had caused us to believe. Nor is it natural that a stranger should be admitted into the secret councils of the Executive upon no recommendation but a desire to paint a picture. In fact, Mr . Carpenter ac knowledges that he got but a glimpse oi a Cabinet session, and that, as a general rule, he restricted himself to his own apartment. lie would lead us to think that bis picture was the work of Inspiration , as he conceived of ho w the Cabinet ought to have sat in conformity to a geometric theory of their antl-elavery enthusiasm, and he tells us that his concep tions turned out to be literally correct . Fxo bably Mr. Carpenter is endowed with second Bight. The work is a vast compilation of anec dotes, many of them old, some of them new,and a very large proportion of them were detailed by Mr. Carpenter from hearsay, and not from personal contact with his Excellency. Wher ever he has come across an anecdote ho has cut it out and put it away, and we have cer tainly a very pleasant but a decidedly unre liable work as the fruits of his toil . No new light is thrown on Mr. Lincoln's character, but many of the stories are so pood as to de serve, and will repay, attention. We will give a low extracts iu order to illustrate the style of the book: The 25th of April, Burasile's command marched throuch WasDington, on tbe way lrora Annapolis, to reinforce the Army of the Poto mac. The Presitii'M reviewed the troops irom the top ot the eastern portico at Willard's Hotel, standing with uncovered head while the entire thirty thousand men tiled through Fourteenth street. Ot course the passage of so large a body of troops through the city presaging as it did the opening of the campiiten drew out a nume rous concourse of spectators, aud the coming movement was everywhere the absorbing topic el conversation. Early in the evening, Gover nor Cuniu, ot Pennsylvania, with a friend, came into the President's office. As he sat down he relerred to the tine appearance of Burnaide's men; saying, with, much emphasis, "Mr. Presi dent, if there is in the world one man more than another worthy of profound respect, it is the volunteer citizen soldier." To this Mr. Lincoln assented, in a quiet way the peculiar dreami ness of expression so remarkable at time?, steal ing OYer his lace as hie mind reverted to the thousands wlioscJivcs had been so freely offered upon the altar of their country, and the myriad homes represented by the throngiug columns of the day's review, iu so many of which there was henceforth to be weary watching and waiting lor iootstcps which would return no more. . I took this opportunity to get at the truth concerning a uewspuper'story which went the rounds a year or two previous, purporting to be an account of a meeting of the loyal Governors in Washinerton, early in the war. It was stated that the President laid the conditiou of the country before such a council, convened at the White House, and anxiously awaited the result. An oppressive silence followed. Curtin was re presented as haVing been staudiug, lookiug out of one of tbe windows, drumming unconsciously upon a pane of glass. Mr. Lincoln, at length addressing him personally, said: "Audy, what is Pennsylvania going to do ?" Turniug around, Curtin replied: "She is going to send twenty iuuusuuu men iu mart wuu, uuu win ooQDie it, if necessary!" "This noble response" (quoted Irom memory) "overwhelmed the President, and lifted the dead weight which seemed to have paralyzed all present." I repeated this account substantially as here given; but both parties smiled and shook their heads. "It is a pity to spoil so good a story," replied the Prebident; "but, unfortunately, there is not a word of truth, in it. I believe the only convocation of Governors that has taken place during the war," he added, looking at Curtin, 'was that at Altoona was it not ?" Subsequently the two gentlemen proposed to visit my room, and Mr. Lincoln accompanied them. Sitting down under the chandelier on the edge of the long table, which raa the whole length of the apartment, swintriug back and forth his long legs, passing his hand occasion ally over his brow and through his rout?h hair (his appearance and manner come back to me moBt vividly, as l wiite), he listened abstract edly to my brief explanation of the design ot the picture. When I ceased, he took up the record in his own way. "You see, Curtin," said he, "1 was brought to the conclusion that there was no dodging this negro question any longer. We had reached the point where it seemed that we must avail ourselves of this element, or in all probability go under." He then went over the circumstances attending the step, in much the tame language he had used upon the occasion of my trst interview with him. Governor Cur tin remarked that the impression prevailed in fome quarters that Secretary Seward opposed the policy. "That is not true," replied Mr. Lin coln; "he advised postponement at the first meet ing, which seemed to me sound. It was Seward's persistence which resulted in the insertion of the word 'maintain,' which I feared, under the circumstances, was promising more than it was quite probable we could carry out." The bill empowering the Secretary of the Treasury to sell the surplus gold had recently passed, and Mr. Chare was then in New York, giving his attention personally to the experi ment. Governor Curtin relerred to this, saying, "I see by the quotations that Chase's movement has already knocked gold down several per cent" This gave occasiou for the strongest ex- Precision I ever heard full frnm im lino rf Mtv Lincoln. Knotting his face in the intensity of his feeling, he said: "Curtin, what do you think , of those fellows in Wall street, who are cam- onng m pom at hucu a time us this ?" "They are a set of sharks," returned Curtin. "For my part," continuel the President, bringing his clenched hand dowu upon the table, "1 wish every one of them had his decilish head shot oil!" Cn the morning ot Mr. Lincoln's arrival in Washington, ust oetore his inauguration, it will be remembered mat the reace Convention was in session. Among those who were earliest tn call upon him was a gentleman from Pennsyl vania, who had beeu in Congress with him, aud who was a member ot the Peace Convention. He at once commenced plying the President elect with urgent reasons lor compromising matters in dispute, sayim;: "it must be donu sooner or later, and mat this seemed the pron tlous moment." Listening attentively to all that was said, Mr. Lincoln finally replied: "Perhaps vonr TPftnons lor compromising the alleored riilli- cnlties are correct, aud that now is the favora ble time to do it; 6tiu, u 1 remember correctly tkal is not what was elocted for ! " The same dav. at Willard's Hotel, a continuum Irom Connecticut was introduced, who said he wanted nothing but to rase tne incoming Presi deat by the hand. Mr. Lincoln surveyed him from head to loot, and giving him u cordial eraso. renliod: -"You are a rare man." During the tiief period that the Kev. Henry Ward lleecher was editor-in-chief of the JnJs- pmdent, in the second year of the war, he Jelt railed upon to pats come severe strictures upon the contse of- the Administration -For several weeks trio successive lenders of the1 editorial papc were liko buulc-Dlnsts, waking ttarrcchoes throughout the country Somebody out tbeo editorials out of the different numbers bt the paper, and mailed them all to the President under one envt lope. One rainy Sunday he took them from his drawer, and read them through to the very last word. One or two of the arti cles were in Mr. Ueeeber's strongest style, and critn lzed the President in no measured terms. As Mr. Lincoln finished reading them, his face flushed up with indignation. Dii9hing the pack Bsc to the floor, he exclaimed! "It thy servant a dorjt, that he should do this trrliig V Tlie excitement, however, booh passed off. leaving no trac? behind of ill-will towards Mr. Beecher; and the impression made npon his mind bv the criticism was lasting and excellent in its effects. Mr. Lincoln's popularity with the soldiers and the people is well illustrated in the lollowing incidents: Just after the President inl nominations had been made in 18(54, a discission arose in a cer tain repimcnt ol the Army ot the Potomac as to the merits of the two candidates. Various opinions had been warmly expressed, when at length a German spoke. "I goes," said he, "for Fader Abraham. Fader Abraham, he likes the goldier-boy. Ven he serves tree years he gives him four hundred foliar, aud re-enlists him von veteran. Now Fader Abraham, he serve four years. We re-enlist him four years more, and make von tettran of him." The night following the election, a clergyman of Aliddletown, Conn., at a torchlight d's'rdny, exhibited a transparency over his door, with a quotation from Genesis sxii. 1": "The angel ot" the f.ord called ULto Abraham out of heaven a second time." A lew days before the reinnuenration of Mr. Lincoln, my picture was placed temporarily on exhibition in the Rotunda of the Capitol. As the workmen were raising it to its pine, over the northern door leading to the Senate Cham ber, a group gathered in front of It, amoti? whom was Policeman It , ot the Capitol squad. As the palntin? reached Its position, a wandering sunbeam crept in irom the top of the great dome and settled full upon the head of Mr. Lincoln, leaving all the rest of the picture in shadow. The effect was singular and won derful. "Look V exclaimed the enthusiastic 11 , pointing to the canvas; "that is as it should be. God bles him; may the sun shine upon his head forever." It is of Interest to know of Mr. Lincoln's religious feelings, and of these Mr. Carpenter speaks irom personal knowledge: Much has been said aud written, since Mr. Lincoln's death, in regard to ids religious expe rience and character. Two or three stories have been published, bearing upon this point, which 1 nave never been able to trace to a reliable source; and I lcel compelled to state my belief that the facts in the case if there were such have received in some way au un warranted em bellishment. Of all men in the world, the late President was the most unaffected and truthiul. Ho rarely or never used language loosely or carelessly, or for the FtiUe ot compliment. Ho was t'ue most indifferent to the effect he was producing, either upou official representatives or the common people, of any man ever in pub lic position. In the ordinary acceptation of the term, I would scarcely have called Mr. Lincoln a reti jwu8 man. and j et I behove hiin to have been a sincere Christian. A constitutional tendency to dwell upon sacred things, an emotional nanire which tmds ready expression iu religious con versation and revival meetings, the culture and development of the devotional elemeut till the expretsiou of such thought and experience be comes habitual, were not among his character istics. Doubtless he felt as deeply upou the great questions of the soul and eternity as any other thoughtful man; but the very tenderness and humility of his nature would not permit the exposure of his inmost conviction, except upon the rarest occasions, and to his most intimate tnends. And yet, aside from emotional expres sion, I believe no man had a more abiding sense of his dependence upou God, or taith In the divine government, and in the power and ulti mate triumph of truth and right m the world. Tne Kev. J. r, Tnorapson, ot iNew iorK, in an admirable discourse upon the life and char acter of the departed President, very Justly ob served: "It is not necessary to appeal to apo cryphal stories which illustrate as much the assurance of his visitors as the simplicity of his faith for proof ot Mr. Lincoln'3 Christian char acter " II his dailv life and various public ad dresses and writings do not show this, surely nothing can demonstrate it. Fortunately there is sufficient material before the public upon which to lorm a judgment in this tespect, without resorting to apocryphal esources. The Kev. Mr. Willets. of Brooklyn, gave me an account ot a conversation with Mr. Lincoln, on the part of a lady of his acqunintance, con nected with the "Christian Commission," who in the prosecution ol her duties had several in terviews with him. The President.it seemed, had been much impressed with the devotion and earnestness ot purpose manitesten Dy the lady, and on one occasiou, after she had dis charged the object ot her visit, he said to her: jjirs. . i nave torinea a men opinion or jour Christian character, aud now, as we are alone, 1 have a mind to ask you to give me, tu brief, vour idea of what constitutes a true reli gious experience." rne iaay repnea at some length, stating that, in her judgment, it con sisted of a conviction of one's own sinfulness aud weakness, and personal need of the Saviour for strength and support; that views of mere doctrine might and would differ, but when one was really brought to teel his need of divine help, and to seek the aid of the Holy Spirit for strength aud guidance, it was satisfactory evi dence ot his having been born again. This was tne suDstauce or ner reply. W hen she naa con cluded, Mr. Lincoln was very thoughtful for a few moments. He at length said, very earn estly, "If what you have told nie is really a cor rect view of this great subject, I think I can say with sim erily that I hope I am a Christian. I had lived," he continued, "until my boy Willie died, without realizing fully these things. That mow overwneimea me. it showed me my weak ness as I had never, felt it before, and if I can take w hat you have stated as a test, I think I can salely say tnat I know something of that change oi which you speak; audi will lurther add. that it has been mv intention for some time, at a suitable opportunity, to make a pub- Mr. Noah Biooks, in some "reminiscence." already quoted from in these pages, gives the following upon mis suniect: Just alter tue tasi residential eieetion he said: 'Being only mortal, after all, I should have been a little niortiued it I had been beaten in thi canvass; but that sting would have been more than compensated by the thought that tho people had notified nie that all my official re sponsibilities were soon to be lifted off my back.' In replv to the remark that he might remember that in all these cares he was daily remembered by those who prayed, uot to be heard of men, as no man had ever before been remembered, he caught at the homely phrase, and said: 'Yes, Hike that phrase, "not to be heard of men," and guess it is generally true, as you say; at leat, I have been tld so, and I have been a good deal helped by just that thought.' Then he solemnly and slowly added: 'I should be the most presumptuous blockhead upon this loot stool, it T for one dav thought that I could ais- ctaaree the dulies which have come upon me sinep I rnriiA into this place, without the aid and enlightenment ot One who is stronger and wiser than all others.' "At another time ho said cheortully : 'I am very sure that if 1 do uot po away from hero a wiser man, 1 shall go away a better man, for having learned here what a veiy poor sort of a man I nni Aiterwards. referring to what he called a change of heart, he said he did not remember any precise lime when he passed tb rough any special change of purpose, or of heart; but he would say, that his own election to ollice, and tho crisis immediately following, '.lnnuentially determined him in what he called a process of crystallization, then going on in his mind. Reticent as he was, and shv of dis oui'sing much of his own mental exoicist'9, these few utterance now hive a valie with fho" who kaew. bim, which his- dyin' words woirli senreelv have po-seseJ, ' "On Thuisday of a certain week, two lidls, from Tennetsce, came belore the President, ask ing the release of their husbands, hold as pr soncis oi war at Johnson's island. They were put off nnlil rriday, when they rnnie ntrvn, and were Benin put off until Saturday, At euv-h of the Interviews cne of the Udies urged that her husband wis a religions man. On Saturday, when the President ordered the rch-ase ot the prisoner, he said 10 this lad v:-"'You say your husband is a religious man; tell bim, when you meet him, that I say I am not much of a judge ol religion, but that In ray opinion tho rcfliion which sets men to rebel and light acuiust their Government, because, as they think, that Gov ernment i'oe not sufficiently help ioic men to rat their bread In the sweat of other men's facej. Is not tbe sort of religion upon which people can get to heaven.'" "On an occasion I shall never loreet," says the Hon. U. C. Deminp, of Couu-icticut, "th' conversation turned upon rchuious subjects and Mr. Lincoln made this impressive remark: '1 have never united myself to any church, be cause,! have found difficulty In giving my as sent, without mental reservation, to the long, complicated statements of Christian doctrine which chniacterlze their articles of belief aud confessions of Inith. When any church will in scribe over its altar, as its sole'qnnliiication tor membership,' he continued, 'the Saviour's con densed statement ol the substance ot both law and gospel, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, aud with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, Hnd thy neighbor a thyself," that church will 1 join w ith all my hart and ail niy soul."' At a dinner-party in Washington, composed mainly of opponents of the war and the Admin tiatlon, Mr. Lincoln's course and policy were, as usual with this c las, the subject of vehement denunciation. This had gone on for some time, when one of the company, who had taken no psrt in the discustion, ao'kcd the privilege of saying a lew words. "Gentlemen," said he, "you may talk as you please about Mr. Lincoln's" capacity; I don't be lieve bim to be the ablest statesman in America, by any means, and I voted against him on both occasions of his candidacy. But I happened to see, or rnther to hear, something, the other day, that convinced me thai, however dencieut he may be in the bead, he is all right in the heart. 1 was up at the White House, having called to see the President ou business. 1 was shown into the office ol his private secretary, and told that Mr. Lincoln was biny just then, bin would be disen gaged in a short time. While waiting, I heard a very enrncst prayer being uttered in a loud female voice in the adjoining room. I inquired what it meant, and was told that au old Quaker lady, a Iricnd of tho President's, ha l railed that attemooi. and taken tea at the White House, and that she was then praying with Mr. Lin coln. Alter the lapse of a few miuutes the prayer ceased, and the President, accompanied by a Ouukcref-s not lets than eighty years old, entered the room whre I was sitting. 1 made up my mind then, gentlpraen, that Mr. Lincoln was not a bad man; and I don't think it will be easy toeilacc the impresrion that the scene I witnessed and the voice I heard made on my mind!" Upon the betrothal of the Prince of Wales t3 the Princess Alexandra, Vueeu Victoria sent a letter to each of the European sovereigns, and also to President Lincoln, announcing tho fact. Loid Lyons, her ambassador at Washington a "bneheior," by the way requested an audience of Mr. Lincoln, that he might present this im portant document in person. At the time ap pointed he was received at the White House, in company with Mr. Seward. "May it please J'our Kxecllency," said Lord Lyons, "I hold in my band an autograph letter trcm my royal mistress, Queen Victoria, which I have been commanded to present to your Ex cellency. In it she informs jour Excellency that her son, his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, is about to contract a matrimonial alli ance with her Royal Uighness the Princess Alex andra ot Denmark." After continuing in this strain for a few minutes, Lord Lyons tendered the letter to the President and awaited his reply. It was short, simple, and expressive, and consisted simply of tne worus: "Lord Lyons, go thou and do likewise." It is doubtful it an English ambassador was ever addressed in this manner before, and it would be intercrting to learn what success he met with in putting the renly in diplomatic lan guage w hen he reported it to her Majesty. The antagonism between tne jn or morn ana Southern sections of the Democratic party, which culminated in the nomination of two separate tickets m I860, was a subject to draw out one of Mr. Lincoln's hardest hits. I once knew," said he, "a sound churchman by the name of Brown, who was a member of a very sober and piou6 committee having in charge the erection ot a bridge over a uaugerous ana rapid river. Several architects failed, and at last Brown said he bad a Iricnd named Jones, who had built several bridges, and undoubtedly could build that one. So Mr. Jones was called in. 'Can j ou build this bridge?' inquired the committee. 'Yes,' replied Jones, 'or any other. I could build a bridge to the infernal regions, if necessary !' The committee were shocked, and Brown lelt called upon to detend his Iriend. '1 know Jones so well.' said he. 'and he is so honest a man and so good an architect, that if he states soberly and positively tnat ne can build a bridge to to . why. I believe it; but I feel bound to say that I have my doubts about the abutment on the internal side.' so," Faid Mr. Lincoln, "when politicians told me that the Northern and Southern w ings of the Demociacy could be harmonized, why, I be lieved them, of course; but 1 always had my doubts about the 'abutment' on the other side." About the time Mr. Lincoln began to be known as a successful lawyer, he was waited upon by a lady, who held a real-estate claim which she desired to have him prosecute, putting into his hands, with the necessary papers, a check for two hundred and fifty dollars', as a retaining fee. Mr. Liucoln said he would look the case over, and asked her to call again the next day. Upon pie senling herself, Mr. Lincoln told her that he had gone through the papers very carefully, and he must tell her frankly that t hero was not a "peg" to hang her claim upon, and be could not conscientiously advise her to bring an action. The lady was satisfied, and, thanking him, rose to go. "Wait," said Mr. Lincoln, fumbling in his vest oocnei; -uere is mo cnecic you leit wt'u nie." "But, Mr. Lincoln," returned tbe lady, "I think you have earned that." "No, no," he re sponded, hauding it back to her; "that would not be right. I can't take pay for doing my duty." Mr. Lincoln liked to feel himself the attorney of the people, not their ruler. Speaking once of the probability of bisrenomination. he said: "If tho people think I have managed their 'case' for them well enough to trust me to carry it p to the next term, I am sure I shall be gald to take it." Judge Baldwin, of California, being in Wash ington, called one day on General Halleck, and, nresuniiiig tmon a familiar acausiutance in Cali fornia a lew years before, solicited a puss outside of our lints to see a brother in Virginia, not thinking that he would meet with a refusal, aa botn his brother ana nimseu were good Union men. "We have been deceived too otteu." said General Halleck, "and 1 regret I can't grant it." Judge Baldwin then went to Stanton, and was very brielly disposed or, witn tne same result, Finally. Le obtained an interview with .Mr. Lin coln, and stated his case. "Have you applied to General Halleck t" inquired the President. ' Yes, and met with a fiat n fu.al," suid Judge Baldwin. "Then you must see Ktanton." con tinued the President. "I have, and with the same result," was tho reply. "Well, theu," said Mr. Liucoln, with a smile, "I can do nothing; tor you must know mat i nace very tittte injiu mice uith this Administration." Mr. Colfax told me of a gentleman's going to tbe Pr sidant, one day, with a bitter denuncia tion of Secretary Stanton and his management of the War Department. "Go home, my triend," interrupted Mr. Lincoln, "and read attentively tbe tenth verse of the thirtieth chapter of Bro verbsl" A lieutenant, whom debts compelled to leave his fptherland and fervice, succeeded in being admitted to nesiaeut Lincoln, and, by reason of his commendable and winning deportment and inteUiti'4it. anpearniico. wa promised a lieu-. ti mit's-ootriinis-iiuu in h caviivy regl-ncnt. lie an fin fa ni,-n nifr, nla enr-fnea ,hn, kin' a s. dee he Idrffnrf t-t nnn rt' I lit. stlri.'kf nntll.i hniieoa tn ' ermany.
