Lin coln's own Account. In the radeperianTa this week; Mr. F. B. Carpenter continues his "Per sonal Recollections of Mr. liincoln." It was early in February, 1864, when the artist first visited Washington, with the view of commencing his great pic ture, 'Emancipation Refore the Cabinet.' "My first interview with the Presi dent," says Mr. Carpenter, "took place the next day, at the ,customary Satur day aftCrnoon public reception. Never .shall I forget the thrill which wont through my whole being an I first caught sight of that tall, gaunt form through a distant door, bowed down, it seemed to me, even then, with the weight of the nation he curried upon his heart, as a, mother carries her suf ‘fering child, and thought of the place he hold in the affections of tho people, and the prayers ascending constantly, day after day, in his behalf. The .crowd was passing through the roams, and presently it was my turn and name to be announced. Greeting me very pleasantly, ho soon afterwards made an appointment to see me in his official chamber, directly after the , close of the 'reception '• The hour na med found me at the well-remembered door of the apartment--that door Watched daily, with so many conflict ing emotions of hope and fear by the miscellaneous throng gathered them. The President was alone, and already :deep in official business, which was -always pressing. He received me with the frank kindness and Simplicity !so characteristic of his nature; and, after reading Mr. Lovejoy's note, said: 'Well, Mr. Carpenter, we wil.l ; turn Fran firiooseirero, and try to give you a good ehance to work out your idea.' Then giving me,a,plaeo .close beside his own arm-chair, he entered upon the account which I shall now attempt to write out, as nearly as possible in his own words, of the circumstances at tending the adoption of the emancipa tion policy." ,I° now qnoto Mr. Carpenter's ae conit : now take up the history of the - Proclamation 'itself, as Mr. Lincoln gave it to me, on the occasion of our first interview, as written down by myself soon afterward : "'lt bad got to • be,' said he, 'mid summer, 1802. Things had gone out from bad to worse, until I felt we bad reached the end of our rope on the Plan of operations wo had been pur suing; that wo had about played our last card, and must change our tactics, .or lose the game! I now determined !limn the adoption of the emancipation policy : and, without consultation with, oOr knowledge of; the Cabinet, I pre pared the original draft of the, procla mation, and, after much anxious thought, called a meeting upon the subject. This was the last of July, or the first part of the month of August, 1862." (The exact date he did not remember.) "This Cabinet meeting took place, I think upon a Saturday, All were present, excepting Mr. Blair, the Postmaster General who was ab eont at the opening of the discussion, but came in subsequently. I said to the Cabinet that I bad resolved upon this step, and had not called them to gether to ask their advise, but to lay the subject matter of a proclamation before them; suggestions as to which would be in order after they had heard read. Mt. Lovejoy," said he, "was in error when he informed you that it ,excited no comment, excepting on the part .of Secretary Seward. Various suggestions were .offered. Secretary Chase wished the language stronger in reference to the arming of the .12 CO . 1 00 WILLIAM LEWIS, Editor and Proprietor. VOL. XXI, blacks. Mr. Blair, after he came in, deprecated the policy, on the ground that it would cost the Administration the fall elections. Nothing, however, was offered that 1 had not already fully anticipated and settled in my own mind, until Secretary Seward spoke. Said he: "Mr. President, I ap prove of the proclamation, but I ques tion the expediency of its issue at this juncture. The depression of the pub lie mind, consequent upon our repeated reverses, is so great that I fear the ef fect of so important a step._ It may be viewed as the last measure of an ex hausted Government—a...cry for help; the Government stretching forth its hands to Ethiopia, instead of Ethiopia stretching forth her hands to the Gov ernment." 'His idea:' said the Presi dent, :was that it would be considered our last shriek, on the retreat.' (This was the precise expression.) "Now," continued Mr. Seward, 'while I ap prove the measure, I suggest, sir, that you postpone its issue, -until you can give it to the country supported by military success, instead of issuing it, as would be the case now, upon the greatest disasters of the war I' Said Lincoln : "The wisdom of the view of the Secretary of State struck mo with very gehat force. It was an as pect of the case that, in ally thought upon the subject, I had entirely over looked. The result was that I put the draft of the Proclamation aside, as you do Your sketch for a picture, wait ing for a victory. From time to time I added or changed a line, touching it up here and there, waiting the pro gress of events. Well, the next news wo had was of Pope's disaster, at Bull Run. Things looked darker than ever. Finally came the week of the battle of Antietam. 1 determined to wait no longer. The news came, I think on Wednesday, that the advantage was on our side. I was then staying at the 'Soldier's Home,' (three miles out of Washington.) Here I finished writing the second draft of tho preliminary .prodlamation; came up on Saturday; called the Cabinet together to hear k, and it was published the following Monday. "'lt was a somewhat remarkable fact," he continued, 'that there was just one hundreo..days .between the dates of the two proclamations, issued upon the 22d of September and the Ist day of January*. Lbad not made.the :calculation'at the time:" At the final meeting on Saturday another interesting incident occurred in connection with Secretary Seward. The President had written the impor- Aant part ofthe .proolamation in.these words: • "That on the first day of trannany in the year alear Lord one thousand eight 'hundred and sixty-three, all per sons held as slaves within any State or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall .he then, ithenceforward,nnd forever FREE; and the Executive 'Government of the United States, including the military and naval authority thereof, will rec ognize the ,freedom of such persons, and Will do no act or acts to repress such persons, or any of them, in any efforts they may make for their.actual freedom." "When I finished reading this paragraph," resumed Mr. Lincoln, 'Mr. Seward stopped and said: think, Mr. President, that you should insert after the word 'recognize,' in that sen tence, the words 'and maintain.' I re plied that I had already fully consid ered the import of that expression in this connection, but I had not intro duced it, because it was not my way to promise what I was not entirely sure that I could perform, and I was not prepared to say that I thought we were exactly able to 'maintain' this. "But," said he, 'Mr. Seward insisted that wo ought to take this ground, and the words finally went in l' * *' In February last, a few days after the passage of the "Constitutional Amendment," I was in Washington, and was received by Mr. Lincoln with the kindness and familiarity which had characterized our previous inter course. I said, ono day, that I was very proud to have been the artist to have first conceived of the design of painting a picture commemorative of the Act of Emancipation—that subse quent occurrences bad only confirmed my own first judgment of that act as . the most sublime moral event in our history. 'Yes,' said he, and never do I remember to have noticed in him more earnestness of expression of man. ner, 'as affairs have turned, it is the cen tral A.Ct of my 4dministration, and the great event of the _Nineteenth Century!. remember to have asked him, on one occasion, if there was not some op position manifested on the part of sev eral members of the Cabinet to the emancipation policy. He said, in re ply: "Nothing more than I have sta ted to you. Mr. Blair thought we should lose the fall elections, and op. posed it on that ground only." Said I, "I have understood that Secretary Smith was not in favor of your action. Mr. Blair told me that, when the meet ing closed, he and the Secretary of the Interior went away together, and that the latter told him, if the President carried out that policy, ho might count on losing Indiana sure!" 'He never said anything of the kind to me,' re turned the President. 'And how,' said I, 'does Mr. Blair feel about it now ?' 'Oh,' was the prompt reply, 'He pro ved right in regard to the fall elections, but he was satisfied that we have since gained more than wo lost!' I have been told,' said I, 'that Judge Bates doubted the Constitutionality of the Proclamation.' He never expressed such an opinion in my bearing,' replied Mr. Lincoln. 'No member of the Cab. met Ayer dissented from the policy in any conversation with me.' There was ono marked element of Mr. Lincoln's character admirably ex pressed by the Hon. Schuyler Colfax, in his oration at Chicago upon his death: "When his judgment, which acted slowly, but which was almost as immovable as the .eternal hills when settled, was grasping some object of importance, the arguments against his own desires seemed uppermost in his mind, and, in conversing upon it, he would present those arguments to see if they could bo rebutted." In illustration of this, I need only hero recall the fact that the interview between himself and the Chicago del egation of elerg i ymeu, appointed to urge upon him the issue of a Proclama tion of Emancipation, took place Sep tember :13,1862,; just about .4 month after the President had declared his established purpose to take this step at the Cabinet meeting which I have described. Tle said to - the •committee: "I do not want to issue a document that the whole world will zee roust necessarily be inoperative, like the Pope's bull against the comet !" After drawing out their views upon the sub, ject, ho concluded the interview with these memorable words : "Do not misunderstand me, because I have mentioned these objections. They indicate the difficulties which have thus far prevented my action in ,come way as you desire I have not decided against a proclamation of lib. erty to the slaves, hut, hold the totter. under advisement. And I can assure you that the subject is on my mind by day and Alight more Allan .any ether. ,11114atever shall appear to be God's will I will do! I trust that, in • the freedom With which I have cany.s.sseal your views, I i ha s v,ei ,put xi:aspect injur ,ed ,your .feedings:" In further illustration of this peculi arity of his mind, I ,w,illasty &ere, 4A silence lorever the cavils of those who have assorted that ho was forced by the pressure of public opinion to nom inate Mr. Chase as Judge Taney's sue cessor, that, notwithstanding his ap• parent hesitation upon this subject, and all that was reported at the time in the newspapers as to the chances of the various candidates, it is a fact well known to several of his most intimate friends "there had never been a time during his Presidency, that • in the event of the death of Chief Justice Taney, he bad not fully intended and expected to nominate Salmon P. Chase for Chief Justice!" These were his very words in this connection I Mr. Chase told me that at the cabin. et meeting, immediately after the bat tle of Antietam, and just prior to the issue of the September proclamation, the President entered upon the busi ness before them, by saying that "the time for the annunciation policy could no longer be delayed. Public senti ment," be thought, "would sustain it, many of his warmest friends and sup porters demanded it—and he had prom ised Ms God he would do it!" The last part of this was uttered in a low tono, and appeared to be heard by no ono but Secretary Gbaso who was sitting near him. He asked the President if ho correctly understood him. Mr. Lincoln replied, "I made a solemn von before God that if General Leo was driven back from Pennsylva nia, I would crown the result by the declaration of freedom to the slaves!"

Judgment must be applied in applying them, as they presuppose unimpaired digestive powers. Individuals taking them as a general guide must omit such articles in the "eat and drink" prescription as they find their stomachs incapable of digesting, or as in any way disagree with thorn. . What Fat Folks may Eat and' Drink. —Lean beef, veal and lamb; poultry, game, and fish, - except salmon ; eggs, dry toast; greens, cabbage, turnips, spinach, lettuce, and the salad plants generally; tea and coffee without su gar or cream. What . Fat Folks Should Avoid.—Fat or, potted meats; bread as far as prac- ticable (except the dry toast); biscuits, rico, arrow root, sago, tapioca, maca• roni, and vermicelli; puddings and pastry of all kinds; custard, cheese, butter, milk, cream, and sugar ; pota toes, carrots, parsneps, and beets; all sweet fruits; cocoa; chocolate, beer, and liquors of all kinds. . What Lean Folks may eat and drink. —Fresh beef and mutton ; poultry and game; fresh fish of all kinds; soups, broth and beef tea; ens, butter, milk, cheese, cream; sweet fruits, jellies, su gar and honey; bread, biscuits, (not . hot however,) custard, Tice, tapioca, and other farinaceous substances in puddings and otherwise ; potatoes, beans, peas, beets, pursneps, carrots, cauliflowers, asparagus, and sea kale; cocoa, chocolate, ten, coffee, and milk. What Lean Folks should Avad.— Salted meats of. all kinds; salted fish; acid drinks; very sour fruits. How to Enlarga the Lungs, The following prescription for enlar ging the lungs is being extensively experimented upon, and is found to work like a charm. Try it; "Step out into the .purest air you can find, stand perfectly .erect, with the bead and shoulders back, and then, fixing the lips as though you were go ing to ty . histle, draw the air, not thro' the nostrils, but through the lips, into the lungs: When,the chest is about full, raise the arms, keeping them ex tended, with the palms of the hands down, as you sack in the air, so as to bring them over the head just as the lungs aro quite full. Then drop the thumbs inward, and after gently forc ing the arms backward, and the chest open, reverse the process by . which you draw your breath, till the lungs aro entirely empty. This process should be repeated three or four times during the day. It is impossible to describe to ono who has never tried it the glorious sense of vigor which fol lows the exorcise. It is,the best ex. peotorant in the world. We know a gentleman the measure-of whose chest has been increased sonic three inches during. as many months." A word of caution will not be out of place. Persons with weak lungs and sensitive bronchial tubes should avoid very cold air in performing this exer cise, or should inhale it through the nostrils, which is the. proper way in ordinary breathing. Such persons shotild also commence cautiously and carefully, so as not to strain or - injure the parts affected. increasing the ex ercise gradually, as the strength in creases. GENERAL GRANT IN A PLIGHT.-OR Monday, at nino o'clock, the General performed the greatest military move inept of his life. He performed a sue eessful flank movement on the people of Chicago, and visited Union Hall in quiet and peace, remaining there till ten o'clock. There were present a large number of the most beautiful "aids," and the General was instantly surrounded by the volunteer staff.— Here a most laughable incident occur red : Mrs. Livermore said tp him, "General Grant, these girls are dy ing to kiss you, but they don't dare to do it." "Well," said the gallant General, "if they want to kiss me; why don't they ? No ono has oirered to since I have been here." Instantly about a hundred fairies pounced upon him. lie attempted to retreat, but in vain; he essayed to break through tbkrosy ranks, without success. Then, for the first time, he confessed himself vanquished, and calmly awaited the event. Never was man subjected to such an ordeal. On came the maidens by squads, in file, or singly; they hit him on the fore head, pelted him on the nose, smacked him on the cheek, chin, or neck There must be dozens of kisses lying around loose, hidden in the general's whiskers. .During this terrible ordeal the hero - of a hundred battle-fields blushed till his face became almost purple.

When you walk in the street with a lady, keep your bands 'out of your pockets, and your cigar ont of your mouth. We would sooner be caught stealing than in the act of smoking while walking with a lady, Don't change sides with her on.crossing the street; it is quite as proper that you should fall through cellar doors and other traps set by .careloss people, as that she should. Always take the right hand when you meet another person, and don't stop. At tbe.table take the dish the host offers you, and don't pass it to the nearest neighbor, even if a lady; it is ungenerous to re prove your host or hostess to his or her face. There ,is a point whore self-ab negation becomes rudeness, and this is precisely that point. The person who gives the entertainment has a perfect right to say which shall be ser ved first. Don't offer your chair to a new comer, unless it is the only one of the kind and the best in the room. Rise when another. guest leaves the house where.you aro entertained,. but do not follow to -the door. You may thus spoil a more cordial leave-taking. Don't sit crosslegged in presence of la dies, or in company of cererriony. Keep your fingers out of your button holes, and your bands from your lap. Make yourself as comfortable as you, can without incommoding any one. Your host,' if a gentleman, always likes to see his guests - comfortable and conten ted. Be neither a pump nor a pumper, butalternately resume both conditions. Ask and answer questions with diplo matic propriety. Speak well of people, or speak not at all. Nothing indicates greater defect of colloquial ability than vituperation, or angry declamation. Maintain repose if the earth quakes. Don't squeeze a lady's hand, for be-. sides being a vulgar demonstration of affection, ladies often wear rings. The slightest possible pressure is in good taste. But there is a difference between the respectful and the real kindly, scarcely perceptible,' pressure •of the whole hand and a persistent griplhat loaves the fingers white for.an hour, and a lady disgusted with you for a week. Always wear a olean shirt and collar, and do not fail to use a tooth brush. All of which is respectfully submitted to those who would be re cognised as persons of good breed ing. Something About Reading. While many do not read at all in these times, there are those who rend too much, particularly the young. A moderate amount of reading and plea. ty of observation is what will develop the youthful mind. In an amusing ar ticle upon the "Physicians and Sur geons of a bygone generation," a for eign journal describes Abernethy con versing thus with a certain patient: '•I opine," said he, "that more than half your illness arises from too much rea ding." On my answering that read ing was chiefly history; which amused while it instructed, ho replied, that is no answer to my objection. At your time of life a young fellow should en deavor to strengthen his constitution, and lay in a stock of health. Besides, too much reading never made an able man: It is not. so much the extent and amount of what we read that serves us, as what we assimilate and make our own. "It is that, to use an illustration borrowed from my profes sion, that constitutes the chyle of the mind. I have always found that really indolent men, men of what I would call flabby intellects, are great readers It is far easier to read than to think, to reflect or observe ; and these fel lows, not having - learned to think, cram themselves with the words or ideas of others. This they call study, but it is not so. In my profession I have observed that the greatest men were not the mere readers, but the men who observed, who reflected, who fairly thought out an idea: To learn to reflect and observe is a grand de sideratum for a young man. Sohn Hunter owed to his power of observa tion that fine discrimination, that keen judgment, that intuitiveness which he possessed in a greater degree than any other surgeon of his time.

TREE Proavavito.—lt 18 an error to manure, in the hole, newly planted trees, whether fruit or forest. Make the earth deep, fine and rich from pre vious manuring and cultivating, but do not use any manure, unless it is the very finest loamy compost, at the time of planting. To protect and enrich the roots, you may cover the surface with straw, leaves, brush, or very coarse manure, to decay gradually.— if set in the spring, you may apply manure liberally in auturan. If set in autumn, you may mulch pretty lib erally with coarse manure before the ground is irczen. When trees get a good start, and are making roots and limbs rapidly, we do net know that you could hurt them with MitElitie l lime or ashes, in any reasonable quan tity. We do know, as a general thing, all sorts of trees, vines and . shrubs are wofully neglected and suffer the want of manure. rtes...A. country pedagogue had two pupils, to one of whom ho was very partial and to the other very savers.
