Tbls great enterrtoe jfl approaching com pletion with a Vpldlty that astonishes the World. Mxfeen (loW) fcundreii mile have been ton lit by tw$ powerrul comoanles: the 1'olonPpcMc Kallroad, beginning at Omaha, toniiding went, and tho Central Puclflo RU ?od, tvtglunlng at Bacramenlo, aud building ASt, 'dntll the two roads shall moet. Less than wo buodred miles remain to be built. The greater part of the Interval Is now graded, and It Is reasonably expected that the through connection between Ban Franolsoo and New York will be completed by Juue 1. As the amount of Government aid elven to each la dependent upon the length of road each hall build, both compale are prompted to great efforts to secure the couat ruotlou aud control of what, when completed, will be one and the only grand ll'itlroad JAne connecting the Atlantic and I'acific coasts. One Hundred and Twenty Million Dollars 120,0o0,000) In money have already been ex. pended by the two powerful companies en gaged In this great enterprise, aud they will Bpeedlly complete the portion yet to be built. When the United States Government found it necessary to secure the construction of the Pacific Railroad, to develop and protect Us own Interests, It gave the Companies authorized to build It such ample aid as should render Its speedy completion beyond a doubt. The Gov ernment aid may be briefly summed up as fol lows: First The right of way and all necessary timber and Btone from publio domain. Second. It makes a donation of 12,800 acres of land to the mile, whlcn, when the road Is com pleted, will amount to twenty-three million (23,000,000) acres, and all of It within twenty (20) miles of the Railroad. Third. It loans the campanles fifty million dollars 050,000,000), for which 11 takes a second lien thus pledging this sum to the Company's Fiist Mortgage landholders as additional security. The Government has already loaned the Union I'ftdflc Railroad twenty-five million nine hun dred and seventy-eight thousand dollars (125,078,000), and to the Central Faolflc Railroad -eighteen million nix hundred and four thou, sand dollars ($lfy01,e00), amounting in all to forty-four mlt'lon five hundred and eighty-two thousand dollars ($14,582,000). The Companies are permitted to Issue their own First Mortgage Bonds to tbe same amount as they receive from the U cited Htates, and no more. Tbe companies have sold to perma nent Investors over (NO.OOO.OOO) forty million dollars of their First Mortgage Bonds. The corn pan its have already paid lu (including net earn ings not divided, grants from Slate of California, and Sacramento city and San Franolsoo), up wards of (825.O00.0C0) twenty-five million dollars of capital stock. "WHAT IS THER12 YET TO UK DONE? In considering this quesUon, it must bs re membered that ail the remaining Iron to finish tbe road Is oontrautel for, an i the largest par tlon paid for and now delivered on the line of the Union Pactno Railroad and the Central Faolflc Railroad, and that the grading; 1$ almost finished' WHAT RESOURCES HAVE TUB COMPA NIES TO FINISH THE ROAD? First. They will receive from the Government as the road progresses about JO.OOO.OOQ additional. Beoond. They can Issue their own First Mort gage Bonds for about (6.000,000 additional. Tblrd. The companies now hold almost all the land they have up to tbls time reeelved from the Government; upon tun completion of ' the road they will have received In all 23,000,000 seres, which at Jl'50 per acre would be worth $34,600,000. In addition to the above tbe net earnings of the roads and additional capital, if necassary, could be calltd In to finish the road. WAY BUSINESS ACTUAL K VRNINUS. No one has ever expressed a doubt that as soon as tbe road is com pi He J its through busl L jaess will be abundantly profitable. As every year brings an Influx of population, the local traffic of the treat Paoiflo Railroad will have a steadily Increasing value. At pro ent Us trans portation for the Government and the mining regions Is the chief source of Its already large revenue, Aitheso wining regions are pene trated theearnlngs will be greatly inoreased, And the various branch lines that will soon be constructed will be most valuable feeders of the main trunk. 1 he earnings of the Union Puclflo Railroad, for the year ending June 30, 1S08, were (1,21(1, Oil '73; net earnings after paying all expenses and interest, 1478,403 69.

A brief telegram received some few days since announced the occurrence of a terrible disaster on Red River, Texan, the steamer Mlttle Stephens being burned to the water's edge. The names of the sixty-three posHennerj Who were lost have been published. The fol lowing description of the casualty, taken from the Mew Orleans Tunes of the 14th iuHt., will command attention: Til B TRIP. At the time the accident occurred the Mlttle Stephens was on her way to Jefferson. Texas, with a large consignment of Government sloies on board, some $30,000 In spoote, perhaps tome money In greenbacks for paying off two or three rtalrueuts upon the imntier, aud a large amount of bay. The hay was placed, as Is iregueatly do, four tiers d )ep upon the boiler deck. The Uh tiger from the acci dental ignition of this muss of lulUiniuuble materiiil was Dot unknown to the passengers, but ap pears to have occasioned no protect. On Thurs day the Mlttle Stephens had reached Hureve port tbe lust point on Red river navluable, owing to the run thirty miles above and hud now turned aside Into the network of bayons, lakes, and lagoons which connects Hhreveport and Jeilei sou City. It was t.- this latter point, end tbe last one attainable by boats from this city, that the Mlttle Stephens was making when the accident occurred. At that time she had already gone more than half the distance between Bnreveport aud Jefferson that is, bad left the now chokod up current of Red river altogether, aud sailed througu JJe Soto lake Into Lake Caddo. The latter body of water lies partly in Louisiana (the extreme northwest portion) and partly in Texas, and Is fourteen miles long and seven wide. On Thurs day night supper bad been served at an early hour on tbe unfortunate boat, and the passen gers a hundred in number alter ocoupylng themselves In the manner usual to those who have been several days on board of a boat, had retired. As early as V o'clock tbe saloons bad began to grow tbin, at 10 they were deserted, with tbe exception of perhaps here and there a parly at poker, and by 12 o'clock or mUluUlit, as tbe boat as still forty miles from Jell r son, and with no prospect of reaching there before daylight, there was scaroely any one stirring beyond tbe regularly appointed watch. The boat was. It is now supposed, sailing, although tbe water was ten feetdeep In various parts ot the lake, through the main channel; that is, through what In dry weather, and when I lie lake is to a large extent dried up, consti tutes a bayou. Tbe tact that a large number of cypress tree stumps jnt out from the water and render thenavlgation otherwise extremely dangerous, supports this supposition. What confirms the belief that the main channel was taken is that br-ats In high water push s'rai;'it through it but with little trouble to the pilots. THE ALARM OF VIBE. It was precisely at this hour of midnight, when the passengers and crew were bailed m slumber, that the cry of lire was heard on tbe doomed boat the most startling and terrible that can be raised upon any kind of vessel cut oil from communication with the shore. The fact that any alarm at all was given meant certain deaiu for a lure number. The situa tion wassuch as to al must preclude escape, from the lnilammable character of tbe cargo, and the faot that, no other boat was Insight. What added still a third agonigln feature to tbe calamity was tbe suddenness of the vision of death which the unhappy passengers, awakened as tbey were from deep sleep, were called upon to confront. Onoe the alarm bad been sounded, ana once the wretoueu inmates had realised that a certain and violent death was yawning before two out of every mree upon Dotiru, ine scene inai ionoweu must have been hideous and app tiling In the last degree. The details that nave readied us of the actual scene are meagre, nut it needs out little Imagination to suppose that no time was loBt In dressing that women and children were i tinning In every di reel ion use pallid spectres, vainly appealliug fora help which would never come. Another feature which attended the death of these unfortunate victims was the slowness of Hie death I lie agonizing suspense which they were called upon to undergo. In ordinary accidents on boats for instance In explosions, the niddenness and unexpected, nebs of the calamity divest It of one element of horror. Supposing that the passenger escapes once the danger is over there is then but little else to tour; or ordinarily when a boat catches fire It is perhaps la tbe daytime; and if at night, the narrowness of the stream renders It easytoswlui or run the boat ashore, lathe pre sent case tbe passengers, who were unable or had not the presence of nilud to Bave them selves by floating, were compelled to sure death steadily in the face, while the vessel slowly consumed, to gradually retreat to the rear as the flames advanced, aud finally lean to certain death in tbe black watore below. Why, it will now be asked, was not the bo it run to tbe shore? The answer to this question is that tbe water of the lake outside of tbe channel already reierred to was too shallow to admit of dote appioacb to tbe low swampy shore. Tho boat la all probability grounded in attempting some such movement. Still the nnmber of stumps of cypress there are in the lake ought to have afforded the passengers a hold, oi. co they bad reached them, uutll day break. Tbe flrtt duty of tbe Captain which, doubtless, was performed was to throw over board every bale of hay thai could be rescued from the flames, every door, shutter, aud life preserver, aud to Inform, at the same time, the passengers what they had to do to save life. KuproAlDg suoh precautions to have been taken, and that a bale of hay ought to support five rum, that jioople from the surrouuding country were soon attracted by tho 11 tmes to their situation and rendered help, it Is not easy to uuderstprd how so many victims met a watery grave. What appears singular, too, is that some of the passengers on board, who are known, like the first clerk , or Mr. W. A. Broad well (one of the largest cotton tiojers of tbe city), to have been men of experience, should have also peilshed by the accident. The lact that the passengers were asleep and that some of them perishud In the tlarnes, accounts lor some of tue number, but by no menus all. One thing, however, Is oor iHln. the Mlttle Stephens bad at the time of tho accident more than a hundred souls on board, In the passenger and crew, At tho lima of the accident, imd ol that number only forty-throe were saved. The remaining sixty three perished by drowning, or still more miserably in the general b )o -anst of tlie vessel; aud the corpses of these ,nrd those who travelled upon the ma'iy other well known steamers, are doubtless at this momt lit beneath the sluggish and sullen waters ol the luke.

The wealthier paulois have all emancipated their slaves, mtny or whom are armed. Tue latest advices from, tbe seat of the Provisional Government showed tbat emancipation would bemads general, even ifcompulsoiy measures were adopted.

Many are deiironsof annexation now. but open discussion of that question might now create dissensions. The revolution occupies at leastone-half the ls'and, aud Increases dally In strength. New com mands are organising as fast as arms reaoh them, cargoes are landed from lime to lime, the coast belDg very favorable for b ioj opera tions. At Nuevllas there are 1700 Hpiuhh troops, wtio fear to sally forth beoauso one of Uuenaria's columns Is known to oe la the neighborhood.

A few weeks longer and the unhealthy season Will decimate na Spanish troops. The Havana Junta have soul the Provisional Government large drafts on New York, and promise to raise immediately one million dollars. It has been unfortunate hitherto that the rebellion had too in-iny head p. One junta was located at Havana; one in New York; one at. a point in the K isteru 1 pHrtinent. and beside these there was the Confidential Aoeut of Oeuerals (luesuda aud Cespede-). They all pulled different ways: one ban money, another authority, all are now willing to recognize the Provisional Govern ment.

A New Aid t the IiiNiirrcciloii. The New York World's Cuban correspon dence of the 13th Inst, speaks of the breaking out of the revolution in the District of Cloutoo gr s, and the raising of an insurcenl army. Tue correspondence states: Good private advices give the strength of this new insurrectionary army at itOOmeo, muy of tliem, however, very badly armed. The leaders are Generals Jimenez, Piauiui, C.wa uovo, and Diego Abreu, Colonels Pairal, Marti nez, tbe brothers MontegundoH, and others whose names I have been thus far unable to obtain. The main portion of this army is around the city of Villa Clara, which piaoe tiiey have already Invested la part. The reserve camp Is at Manlcuragua, a small t'twn situated upon the upper part of the Ulver Arimao. a naturally strong position, which Is being made still stronger by earthworks, so as to serve as a lien of safe refuge to the Cubau forces in cases of emergencies. Tuls exteuslve insurrectionary outbreak very naturally cre ated great consternation among the Spaniards in the districts embraced within its ramliioa liocs. In the city of Cienfuegos this was par ticularly true. Ail of tbe day of the 7th the in surgents were reported as comlug, and the troops were kept underarms allot tnatulghtto repel an expec ed attack. No enemy hiving appeared, the Spanish authorities have, since tbehth, been less timorous; but tue discovery of a conspiracy within the city to make com mon cause with the Insurrection, the arrests of two different small parties while taking arms and ammunition out for tbe use of tne Insur gents, aud the unpleasant ascertainment that twenty or more of the loyal volunteers bod be come disloyal, and tiad left for tbe Interior wih their guns and cartridges, have served to keep them in exccltement and anxiety. An Expedition from Floridn. Prom the FernandlnaFia.) Union, Feb. 10. Several Cubans arrived in this city on Thursday morning last, a part of them regis tering at their hotel from New York and others from Honduras. Toey were very gentlemanly, well educated, and conversed freely upon gene ral suhjeots; but nothing could be loarned from them as to their business in this city. On Sun day morning tbe party was increased by tho ar rival ol twenly.threeotbcrs.maklngin all about forty-five of them registering from Honduras und Havana. Immediately after they had breakfasted the entire party proceeded to Dibble's wharf, where they were promptly met by tbe steamer. Henry Burden, which they bad chartered lor Nassau, N. P. The whole com pt ny was very reticent, and nothing was known concerning their destination previous to their departure, except by the agents of tbe steamer and the Custom-bouse officers. There has been much speculation as to their pur poses, which remain an absolute mystery to every one. LOBBYISTS, Who TlieyAre nnil How They Work at WHMhllljftOll. Among those who visit the Capitol as lobby ists, tbe most persistent and the most daugur- cus are ex-members of Congress, who have the freedom of the floor. In fact, this privilege enters largely into the qualifications of the men selected by corporations or individuals to urge their measures upon Congress. And the thing is carried to an extent wnloh is utterly disgraceful to the House. In the Senate com paratively little of it Is done. Then the Senate Is a smaller body, and the members can be "seen" better at home. Rut tbe floor of the House Is the place of business for this class of men, which tbey visit dally, exttotly as the merchants of our cltv go on 'Change. Ills proper that ex-members should be enti tled to the privileges ot the floor as au act of courtesy, but when this privilege is used openly aij a part of a lobbyist's stock la trade, it becomes a disgrace to tho House to lole rate It. The Alaska case Is one in point. Mesrs. Walker and Stanton were the "attorneys" for those whowished to ellect the sale. They have meiange of the members' desks, tbe conve nience of the sofas for "explaining," and the privacy of the cloak-rooms for those who would rather talk In quiet. A cause which pays its attorneys $21, COO has other Inducements to offer to those who are not retained, and the advan tage of being able to "see" all the members to gether, and have their ear when their constitu ents cannot,is valuable capital in a professional lobbyist's pocket. Another case In point Is found in tbe attempt to break down the House in the position it Is taking in regard to fraudulent sales ot Indiun lands to great monopolies. Those Interested in what is well known now as the Joy pur chate of Cherokee neutral lands are here In force to browbeat those in the House who are attempting to stop this aud like abuses. Of course the lobby, though a strong one, would not be complete without an ex-member of Corgi ess, ;aud so Mr. , who is also an Interested party, and who was one of the former manipulators of the scheme, was sent on. He csn be seen every day among tbe desks of members, and found every night (Including Sundays) making the rounds or their rooms. He by no means con fines himself to tbe fuc sin tbe case. Indeed his business is to conceal tbe lucts, and so oil the scheme tout bis former associates will swallow It. livery member of the House who bus conversed with hi in knows what Ills busi ness lr.. knows that he is using the floor to privately debate the position taken by the Committee of Publlo Lauds, and to combat other lefcUIatlon to prevent tbe swindling of Indians, and yet no member seems to think It au Insult to the dignity of the House-and perhaps It is not. Mr. case lsbutan lso- laid one among thobe constantly occurring. It Is. however, a marked one la this, that he openly uses the courtesy extended to hlia as an ex-member t. lobby among the desas of members for the defeat of legislative measures reported to the Houso by one of Its committees. The representatives of the press In Wasnlug'on cannot obtain a seat in the Reporters' Gallery until tbey haveslgued an agreement that they will not be Interested i....7 n lani. lifoie Congress. Aud this is protection of tho uonr. ui.h.u.v ..nut, stretch of courtesy.- H'atft. Cor, cm. Ow.itta. QOLFAX.

Andrew Jouuaon, the Ite(lrlu Presl. dent, ns lie has taken the trouble fo tell tae world a thousand times, has no line of illustrious ancestors to lull back upon. IIo first saw the liRht at lialeigh, North Carolina, on December 29, 1808. When but four jean of aa he was left dependent upon his mother, his fattier receivtLg fatal inlurics while attoaiptlua; to rescue a man from drotvniug. At the age of ten jouug A idrew, the future Preident, was pluced us an apprentice with a Kalcinh tailor, the limited meausof tho mother reuderinij.-oaie employment on the part ot the fou necessary, lie remaiucd au appieutiee until he ha 1 attaitie 1 hU seveutcemh year. Th re beintc no public schools accessible, young Atidrew wascomoelled to fall buck upon liis o n resources lor 1111 (lu. cation. A klud Irienl tnuiht him the alphabet, unve bim same fuint notiou of tbe structure of words and launuaac. und havimr thus taught liliu the tlcRHut art of reading, presented him with a volume of speeches by dibtlngai-hed llrl ih statesmen. Wiiilo peruiiug th se grand etlusious, we sre at liiorty, we supoo-e, to imBelne that visions of lutura greatness in tbe waik9 of statesaianthip and oratory flitted ttnough his mind and disturbed the puaccfulueas of his slumbers. In the latter part of llie AnJrew lelt Raleigh, and lor tho two jeurs suti'. seqi.eut worked 9 a Journeyiiian la lor at Luurens Court Uouce, in tne norlb tfesteru corner of South Carolina. WbUo luOorinx here it is sail that his affection for a certain young lady was reciprocated by her, bat tlio bareh parents, not being endowed wi'h pro. piiettc pllts, interfered, on account of his joutli aud poverty, and young Andrew an-aintook up his Imeot march, stonnia" or a lew months In ttaleiah, but finally, m 1820. settling in G.eenville, EuH Tennessee in con pany w.tb bis mother aud stepfa her. Hero he soon married, and at once bscamo the pupil !1L?l8wLT.,QvtKbop03kr'ied an excellent educa tion. While he was busy with tho rents of old garments aud the seami of new onus, the patient wfe read to him pase after page; snl when the day's work was hid alle, he took up the pen and pencil, aad thus, under he" instrac tion, became proflcieut io tne clemeuts of a good, soutd, and practical elucation. "'"B""14' The world baa not been su tiered to foreet that Asdrew Johnson commeuced public hie in the capacity of an alderman. The work before us, purporting to be an authentic history or his carter, itatci that be wm clccttd Iv tat poet- tlon in the year 18i8, achieving a cVcUed triumph over the aristocratic candidate for the position, and tbat he was successively re elected In 1829 and 1830. As be was not yet tventy years of sge, however, we are inclined to doubt the strict accuracy of the chronicler, la 1830 lie was likewise elevated to the Mayoralty of Greenville, holding the position for three yeirs. In lKi6 be was sent to the lover house ot the atatc Legislature from the comities of Greene and Washington, and soon attained a prominent position in that body. ,11 a determined opposU tiou to a pchemo ot lntoriial improvemente caused his defeat whon he again, in 1837, aspired to p(fi-lHtlve honor?. Hut the utter f ailure of the project and the great lucrea'e in the State deot re.-ultiug, vindicated his fore aigh', and in 1839 be was tr.uinpliantly returned a tneii.ber ol the Legislature, lu 1840 he took an nc ive part lit tho Presidential cainptlgn, b-'-rig oue of the Dcii'oc ratio Electoral cstidi da'c, and ciiuva-'iis a erat portion of the state, with a very gratifying success Iu 1841 be was promo'ed to th S'ae Senate, being elected a meaiber of that body irom the Greene an I Hawkins couiitj district. In 1H3 lie pntored the Congressional arena, becg elected a llcptesetila ive from the First dictr ct ol Tennessee over Colonel John A.' Atken, a United State1 Hank Democrat. Ilia first appt arunco upon the floor of the House at Washington was as an ad voc tte ot the resolution restoring the amount of th' fl no imposed upon Audrew Jackson for placing New Orleans under man inl law. He voon alter ttgaalized himself by a hearty advocacy of tho annexation of Texas, aud by denouncing Mr. Cliogmau, of North Carolina, for attacking the course ot cer ain members ot tbe Catholic Church daring the prccpdli g Presidential election. He was ro elected to Congress in 1845, and Joined ear nestly in the cry of ' Fifty-tour forty, or fight I" on the disputed boundary question wUh. Great -Hritain, but thought it bos', to sustain Pre ident Polk in the final aljusiment of the difficulty. Again re-elected in 1847, be raised his voice in eujpott ot the veto power of the Presi dent, rambling all the way back te the days of the Romau republic in search of precedents to sustain his position. Among the facts set forth in this memorable speech was one to Ibe effect that the veto power had, pre vious to that time, been exercised twenty-flve times only by all the different Presidents of the Uni'eJ States. Tho contrast presented by thla meagre record and tbut made by himself as President will ufforl a fruitful theme for eon temptation after the 4th of March. Mr. Johnson was continued in Ins seat until 1853, devoting his time to a laithrul supp rt of the Mexican crusndo, of the Homestead bill, and of the pro crusade, of the Homes'ead bill, and of the prominent points In the Democratic policy. As time pasted, "fret-h fields aud pasturoa new" opened bel'or Anc'rew Johnson, and in 1863, and aerain in 1855. be was elected Gov ornor of Tennessee, the first time over Gus tavus A. Henry, and in the last case over Mere dith P. Gentry, both centers were exceed incly warm, aud lor both victories he had a hard fk'ht. In 1857 Andrew Johnson steppe! from the Governor's chair to the United States Sobate. While a member of thi3 body he remained steadfast to tbe Union aud tbe flag, opposing tho eects&ion intrigues ot the o'her Southern Senators wi'h all his stubbornness nnd eeal. In return for this the tndianant secessionists of Memph's, on the 221 of Oesember, 1860, con ferred upon bim tbe high honor of a vicarious martjrdom by burning him in efligy. His rcturu to Tennessee in April, 1861, was also marked by repeated insults and threats of per sonal violence, as he jonroeyed homeward tbrouph Virginia. At a place namol Liberty, it is said that one man pulled hts loyal Senato rial nose as a reward for h's devotion to the Uulon. Yet throughout r)1 tbe dark days of the war he remained steadOi'-t, adhering to the counsel which he addressed to Judah P. BfDja ruin, wben the latter refused to vote on tne Crittenden compromi.-e: ' Vote, aDd show yourself an honest man I" His great speech in the Senate on the evnulou of Jesse D, Bright, the Indiana Sena'or who gave his weak sympathy to the Rebel cause, was one of tbe most earnest and eloquent appeals in behalf of the Union that was ever pronounced in that body. Nevertheless, bis thorough devotion to the Union and the Constitution did not prevent him from manifesting, even as ear:y as 1861, a desire to tinker that sacred document. During tho session of tbat rear he presented a proposi tion for amending the Constitution by doing away with tbe hleutoral College; changing the tenure cf the Supreme Court judges ftora life to n term of years, with the requirement that one half of them should always te appointed from the slave-holding Stale?; and further making It necessary that cither tho President or Vice President should always be taken from the same f eotion of the country. liut Senator Johnnon was not destined to serve out the full term for which be had been fleeted, which would have expired on the 4th ot March, 18C3. Tbe victories ot Grant at Forts Henry and Donelson loosened the Rebel hold upon the greater portion of Tennessee, and as Governor Isbam G. II art is had gone over to the enemy, with all the machinery of the State gov crhnieut, it became necessary for the President to set up a provisional establishment. Andrew Jobntou was selected by Mr. L'ncoln as the Ucute-head of this institution; and he was ap pointed a brigadier general ot voluuteers, being confirmed as such by the Senate on the 5th of March, 1862. He at once repaired to Nashville, and ibere established hiin-t lion the 12lh of the snrne month as militaty governor, so far forget ful of the Constitutiou uud tbe law as to hold and administer an ofiiee which, as he has repeatedly assured tho country, is untrnDwn to Lotb. With varying degrees ot fortune, known lo all tho world. Brigadier Upneral Johnson continued to reside in Na?hville as military governor until he left tua; city to assume hii duties as V!ci-President. When the National Union Convention assem bled iu UuLimnrc, in June, 1804. the gravest question presented fr its roijsideiation wis the selection of a candidate for V co Presi dent. The loyal North had accented the quiint saying of Mr. Lincoln, that "It is dangerous to swop horses while cro?elng a stream," and his Tf nomination, like the nomination of Geueral Graut iu 1808, was a mere formality. When the Vice-Presidency was readied, au influential section of the party which had sustained the war for tho Union, having nearly one third of the Convent!' n in its interest, was Inclined to udbere to the maxin by which the Presidential question was dee ded. Vet, while the great servicis, sterling patriotism, and unquestioned ability of Vico-Pre.-ddcni Hamlin were con ceded by all, a side sue was joined on the nectshity 01 couciliaticp tbe War Democracy. It wus proposed to do this by placing a War Democrat on the ticket with Mr. Lincoln. Duuiel 8. Dickinson, of New lork, aud Audrew Johnson were tho chief compcutors for the honor, oud tho ace. dental circu 11 stance of Jobmou's Sou: hern Llrlh and his record during the war decided the lfue iu Lis favor. Tue firt ballot stood a ioilos:-For Audrew Johnson, 200; lor Hannibal Hamlin, 146; for Duuiel S. Dickinson, 113; for Benja min F. Duticr, 28j tor Lovell II. Kous-cuu, 21; and 13 vutes scattered between Schuyler ( olfax, Ambrose F. Uuru-ide, Joseph Holt, David Tod, and Preston Kuw. Ou the see.md ballot there was a general dc.-crtlou ot every other cand'da'e lor John 3 in, aad he received 492 votes, Dickin on retail. ita but 17 and Ham liu only 9, tho tutal vole being 618, and 2J0 necessary for a ciio'ce. ojcu placed oi the loyal ticket, Andrew Johnson aueure-1 the almost united support ot tue loyal element of tbe population, mo opposition to htui being restiicied to isolated cases i which personal cumity figured quite as largely as any other motive. Keceivlna, with Mr. Lincoln, the vote of every State participating in the election except three, he was duly sorn ioti office tu Vice-President, ou ttn 4th of March, 1805. On that day the veil was lifted from his face, and, as when the prophet ot Ktioraasan un covered his hideout features, the nation iccoiled la dismay from the spectacle. Never before.
