■ Quick Trip to Washington.
Shortly after the arrival of President Lincoln,
at Harrisburg, on Friday last, lie received tele
graphic despatches from Gen. Scott, and Gov.
Hicks, of,Maryland, Informing him of a plot,
which bad been devised by some black-hcfiii'ted
wretches, to throw off the track tho Special train
in which.himself and family were to go to Bal
timore, on Saturday morning, and in the confu
sion thereby created to assassinate him. He
communicated this information to one of his
suite and to tho officers of the Penn’a R. R.|
whereupon a special train was'fitted out and al
six o’clock Mr. Lincoln and a friend, nccompnti.dl
by some of tbe officers of tho Road, left for
Philadelphia, where they arrived just in time
lor the President to take the sleeping car of the
night ttfain for Baltimore and Washington, which
h centered without being known'nud passed over
road without attracting attention. So quick
ly add quietly was all this clone that scarcely
any person about the “denes House” where he
■topped, at Harrisburg, knew that he had left
until be despatched from Washington, at sis
o'clock oh; Saturday morning, that he was safe
;at the Capitol. Much disappointment was felt
by theßaltimoreans when they lcarncd that the
President had passed through their city, as they
had made, as they thought, ample arrangements
for the safe and respectful transit of Mr. Lin-
coin .throughout the city ? but G,c«. Scott and
Qbv. Hicks, evideritly knew more than the mass
of the people, and took the only sure plan of
getting the President to the Capitol and fuijiag.
those who desired to insult him if not do him
bodily harm.
The above was compiled from the first report
which we received to Mr. Lincoln’s
hasty trip to Washington. A number of, rea
sons have since been ' assigned for his course,
but none of them appear to bo authentic. We
have too much confidence in Gen. Scott to be
lieve that he would have advised such a course
hod there not been sufficient reason. It matters
not what may have induced Mr. Lincoln to act
the part he did, we arc glad, for honor of the
country, that ho has arrived safely in W ashing
ton.
New Books —Wo have just received from 0.
6. Evans, originator of the Gift Book Enterprise,
a copy each of the “ Union Text Book” ami a
“ Romance of the’ Revolution,” both of which
aro worth the price asked for them. The
Union Text Book is %o|npiled chiefly from the
writings of that great patriot, statesman and ex
pounder of the Constitution, Daniel Webster,
together with; Washington's Pare well Address
and matters interesting at this critical
juncture in our national affairs. Every library
should contain these works. The price of the
Text Book is $l,OO and of the Romance §1.25.
Either of those books together with a gift worth
from 50 cents to $lOO will be sent post paid, to
address, by forwarding the above named
sum to Q. G. Evans, 489 Chestnut St., Phila.
Cot. L. W. llali,. —lt gives os pleasure to
bear testimony to the straight-forward, couser
vativc course taken- by our Senator, Col. Hall,
on all questions relating to the interests of his
immediate constituents, the popple of the State,
or the national troubles which hare come upon
us. He has shown, himself to be one of the
most industrious members of tho Senate, taking
nb active part, as every member should, on all
questions which camo before that body, and his
rota is always'found .recorded on the' side of
right and justice. We think we are justified in
saying that no member of that body .has moro
truly represented his constituents tlian Col. Hi,
and should occasion again offer they will testify
their appreciation of hia services by elevating
him to, a higher position of usefulness and in
fluence. '

Tho 22nd at “Harrisburg. \
Friday last, February 22nd, tbe birthday of
the “Father of his Country,” was a gala day at
Harrisburg. Tt was celebrated notionly as the
birthday of Washington, but ns the occasion for
raising tbe Flag prer the Capitol, thus
proclaiming the loyalty of tbe State of Pennsyl
vania to that Union and system of General Gov
ernment under which tho people have enjoyed
SO many blessings, but which the .ruthltjss
hands of traitors arc now attempting to destroty.
The crowd was also augmented tfy the an
nouncement that Abraham Lincoln, President'
elect, who was then on his way to Washington!,
would be in\ Harrisburg on that day. The milil
tary display ,was probably the best over wit
nessed in the State, besides which there were a
number of fire companies and civic associations

an almost numberless crowd of lookers-om
The special train bringing Lincoln to the Cap
ita! arrived at the corner of Vine and Second
streets at Half-past one o'clock, from which
place «c was escorted to the Jones House, where
ho was welcomed by Governor Curtin, as fol
lows : ;
Sir :—lt is my pleasure to welcome you to :
the State of Pennsylvania, apd to extend to you !
the hospitalities of this city. ■Wo have fre
quently heard of you since you left your home ;
in a distant place, and every word that has fal- |
Ten from yojir lips has fallen upon the ears of |
an excited,Jpatriotic but people. (Ap- i
plausc.) J§|ri as President elect of the United
States, you tote called to the discharge of offi
cial duties at a period of time when the public
mind is distracted and divided, when animosi
ties and distractions divide the’ people of this
hitherto happy and prosperous country. You
undertake, sir, no easy task; You must restore
fraternal feeling. You must', heal up discord. 1
You must produce amity in place of hostility
and restore prosperity, peace and concord to
this unhappy country. And future generations
will rise up and call you blessed.
Sir, this day, by act of our Legislature, we
unfurled from the dome of the Capitol the flag
of our country, carried there in the arms of men
who defended the country when defence was
needed. I assure, you, sir, ( there is no star or
stripe erased, and on its azure field there blazons
forth thirty-four stars, the number of the bright
constellation of States over which you are cal
led by a free people, in n fair election, to pre
side. We trust, sir, that in the discharge of
your high office, yon may reconcile the unhappy
differences now existing, as they hare hereto
fore been reconciled.
Sir, when conciliation has failed, read our
history, study our Here are the peo
ple who will defend you, the Constitution, the
laws and the integrity of this Union.
, Our great law-giver and founder established
this government of a free people in deeds of
peace. We are a peaceful, laborious people.—
Wo believe that civilization, progress and Chris
tianity ore advanced by the protection of free
and paid labor. \ '
Sir, I welcome you to the midst of this gen
erous people, and may the God who has so long
watched oyer this country, give you wisdom to
discharge the high duties that devolve upon
you, to the advancement <of the greatness and
glory of4ho Government, and the happiness and
prosperity of the people.
Mr. Lincoln being introduced to the crowd
spoke as follows,: |
Oqy. Curtin and citizens of the State of Penn
sylvania : Perhaps the best thing that I could
do would be simply to endorse the patriotic and
eloquent speech which your Governor has just
made in your beoring. lam quite sure that 1
am unable to address to you anything so appro
priate ns that which he has uttered-
Befcrence has been made by him to the dis
traction of ; the public iniad at this time and to
the great task that lies before me in entering
upon the adminisiration of the .General'Govern
ment. sitb all.the eloq.uence N and ability that
year Governor brings to this theme,! I am ,quite,
sure he does.hot—in his situation he cannot-—i
appreciate asl do the weight of'that great re
sponsibility. I feel that; under God; Ip the
stiength of the Wisdom of. the hoods of these
messes after all, must be my support. As I
have ,bfh»n had occasion to say, J repeat to you
—I am quite sure I do not deceive myself when
I tell you t bring to the work an honest heart;
X dare not tell you I bring a head suffice'nt' for
it. Mmy own should fail, I eholl jit
leostfall back Upon these'masses, who, T think,
under any circumstances will not fail.
Allusion bos been made to the peaceful prin
piplesupon yhioh this great Commonwealth
was originally settled." Allow me to add my
pteed of praise to thoso.peaoofol principles. .- I
bopo tfoi ons pf;the S; ?tien'lB who criglnally' set-^-
tied here, or who lived here sincfi thht time, or.)
who live here now, has been or is a. more devo- i
ted lover of pence, harmony and concord than ;
my humble self. 1 ' • I 1
While I have been proud to see to-day the j
finest military arraj, 1 thijnk,- that T have ever >
| seen, allow me to say in jregard to those men ;
that they give hope pf what they have done when ■
war is inevitable. But, >at thesame time, allow' i
me. to express the hope that in the shedding, of
blood their services may never be needed,
especially in thrsbeddingof fraternal blood.--'
It shall be my endeavor tb preserve the peace
of this country so far us it can be possibly done,
consistently with the maintenance of the iusti
tutions of the country. Witty my consent, or
without ,my great displeasure, this country
shall never witness the shedding of one drop
of blood in fraternal strife.;
And now, my.fellow citizens, ns I have made
many speeches, -will you jallow me to bid you
farewell ? ‘
At half past two o'clock, the Senators, mem
bers of the House and Military escorted Mr.
Lincoln to the Hall of State House, where
he was welcomed by Speakers Palmer, of the
Senate , and Davis, of the House, to whom he
replied in a speech somewaat more lengthy than
that in reply to Gov. Ctirtin, but embodying
about the same ideas.
Almost every public house and many private
residences were decorated with flags, and
wreaths, giving the city a truly nntior.nl ap
pearance. Everything passed olf in good stylh
with nothing to mar the p ensures of the day.

A Peep into the Bank of England.
f The Bunk of jEngland .must bo seen on the in
side as well aslant; n:id to go into the interior
of this remarkable- building, to observe the op
erations of an institution tilat exerts more njor
ai and poiitie.nl power than any sovereign in
Europe, you must have an order from the Gov
ernor of the Bank. The building occupies nn
irregular area ojf eight acres of ground—an ed- i
ifice of no' architectural beauty, with not one
window towavditlic street, being BghieJ alto- j
gather from the roof of the enclosed area. ;
I was led, on presenting my card of admis- |
sion, into a private .room, where after a delay j
of a few moments a messenger came, and con- ■
ducted me through the mighty and mysterious
buildihg. Down we went into a room where ;
the notes of the Bank, received the day before,
were now examined, compared with the entries
in the books, and stowed away. The Bank of
England never issues the same note a second
time It receives, in the ordinary course of
business, about £500,000, $4,000,000, daily, in
notes ; these are put up into parcels according j
to their denominations, boxed up with the date i
of their reception, and are kept ten year.-: at |
the expiration of which period they aro t)ikcu |
out and groubd up in the mill which I saw run
ning. and made again into paper. If in the
course of the ten years, any dispute in business
or lawsuit should arise concerning the payment
of any note, the Bank can produce the identical
; bui. v
To meet demand for notes constantly used
up, the Bank has its 05m paper makers, its own
printers, jts onto engravers, all the work under
the same roofT'and even makes the machinery
by which most of its own work is done. A com
plicated hut. beautiful operation is a register ex
tending from the printing office to the banking
offices, which tnakes every sheet'of paper that
is struck off from the press, so tlmt the printers
canuot manufacture a single sheet of bank notes
that is not recorded in the Bank.
On tire same principle of neatness, a shaft is
made to pass from one apartment to another,
connecting a clock in sixteen wings of the es
tablishment, and regulating them with such
precision that the whole cf them is always point
ing to the same second of time. In another
room was a machine, exceedingly simple, for
detecting light gold coin. A row of them is
dropped one by one upon a spring-scale. If
the piece of, gold was of the standard weight,
the scale rose to a certain bight,'and the coin
slid off upon the side of the box ; if less than
the standard, it rose a little higher, and the
coin slid upon the other side. I asked the
weigher what was the average number of light
coins that came into his hands, and strangely
enough, he said it was a question he was not
allowed to answer.
The next room I entered was that in which
the notes are all deposited which are ready for
issue.
“ We have thirty-two millions of pounds
sterling in this room,” the officer remarked to
me ; “ will you take a little of it ?” 1 told him
it would be yaitly ngreeal.de. and he handed me
a million of sterling, (So,(100,000.) which I re
ceived with many thanks for his liberality, but
bo insisted upon my depositing it with him
again, ns it would hardly be safe to cury so
much money into the street. I very much fear
that I shall never see that money again. In the
vault beneath the door was a director and a
cashier, counting the bags of gold which men
were pitching down tp them, each bag contain
ing a thousand pounds sterling just from the
mint.
This wopld of money seemed to realize the*fa
bles of Eastern wealth, and gave mo new and

fta?" Parson Brownlow continues to “ holler'
for the Union, in spite of the threats of the se
cessionists, who have threatened to Lang him.
The Parson has designated the day he prefers
for the hanging, and invites tho-public to wit-
ness the exhibition, promising to make a speech j
under the gallows. A late number of his paper, !
the Knoxville Whig, contains the following;—i
God be praised for tho odium already attach- :
ed to secession and its advocates, and for the I
certain prospect of their descending to a trait- :
or’s grave, and finally to a traitor’s hell ! The ■
Senators of seven Stales have been sitting in
their seats as Senators, sworn to support the
Constitution of the United States, and to act as
the privy counsel of the President, and at the
same time they were holding secret meetings, j
plotting the overthrow of the Government ami |
Constitution they nad sworn to sustain and sup- |
port. I consider Benedict Arnold and Aaron
Barr patriots and honest men compared with
these trailers and perjured villains. 1 certainly
have no desire to live under any Government
| organized by such corrupt, wicked aud.bclt-de
j serving men as these! This whole scheme for
i dissolving the Union was originated and carried
out by corrupt, designing and disappointed
Southern politician?, who, failing to control the
Government, resolved upon its ruin. There are
better men in 11011, suffering the vengeance of
eternal fire, than the Southern leaders in this
secession movement. This I sivy as a Southern
man, one bopn and raised here, and intending to
live and die here. All this I will continue to
i say as long as I have breath to speak, or strength
: to write.
