Assassination of Lincoln and Seward Foiled in the field, crushed in the citadel, and swept from the sea, the Confederates, of America,havo consum mated their career, of atrocities, by an act of assassination, which will- brand their cause, with infinity, to the most remote time. In history, wo do not read of a single act, which in any way, appraathes the cowardly, crime,whiels was announced, to India, on the 3rd instant. Holofernes was beheaded; :but he bad coveted the casquet of a virgin's chastity. Cesar was - assassi nated; bat he had betrayed the repub lic, and had been crowned in the capi tal, Wallentein was murdered; but Ile bad betrayed his friends, and was, it was believed, unfaithful to his mas• ter. Buckingham fell, by the bands of Felton; but his iniquities bad shocked the land, and his intrigues bad invol -ved the country in war. Murray, the Regent, of Scotland, was shot in the broad blaze of day; but his myrmidons dyad driven the wife of his , murderer, nearly naked, into the woods; to seek shelter and safety. Murat died by the dagger of D'Armans Corday; but the conspirators, at - Calvados had been doomed to die: Perceval fell by the bullet of Belling him ; but his fate was the result of a mistake, which the as- SWAM acknowledged, when 1.4 expia 'ted his crime, on the =gold. All the atrocities however, of either ancient, or modern times, aro completely eclip sed by the dark crime, which has just been announced, and which will excite a thrill, of horror, ,throughout the civ ilized world. Traitors to the republic, and - false to every principle of duty, which links subjects to governments, the Confederates have committed an act, which will bear on its brow, the curie through time. This act, alone, demonstrates, to the world, the char =ter of the dominion which would 'have boon established, bad the Confed ,erate cause succeeded. Overcome on the ocean, and beaten on the battle field, they have sunk to the level of :assassins,—slain one man, and it is feared, mortally, wounded another— as the latest advicos state that Sow ard was still in existence. Lincoln and Seward were, it appears shot; and we are sure that the act will excite but one feeling throughout the globe.--ab horence I—Lincoln and Seward wore the pillars of the Republic and their only fault—if it can be consithired a fault--was that they were only too merciful, and too forbearing. But the ways of Providence are wondrous; and, we dare-say, this iniquitous_ pro ceeding, was necessary to chock at their sources, all those streams of mau dlin sympathy, for unworthy objects 1)3 which the British nation Is only too_ prone to indulge, when a series of mis. fortunes has overtaken a people. The Emperor Louis Napoleon will, wo fan cy, be PO the future, less ardent in his sympathies, with respect to the slave owners of the South. "The assassins , . . ... _ .. • • • . • .

VOL. XXI. of the Confederates, have prayed to demonstration, that assassination is not difficult, when ruffianism is reso lute. The life of the emperor has been frequently menaced, but it has as often been miraculously preserved. The murderers who attempted his life, were either maniacs, or men of such mean resources that any ether result than failure could scarcely have been anticipated. But the homicide of Lin coln, and his Secretary Seward, repo sing as it were, in the very heart of the nation, is an act of audacity, al most without a parallel in history. Nothing can palliate the atrocity of the act—nothing can extenuate the infamy of the crime. Simple in his manners, as Cincinnatus, the twice elected President of the United States, secured the lasting friendship of all men, with whom he became acquaint ed. No representative of the conti nental nations could ever complain, either with respect to the courtesy of his manner, or the dignity of his bear ing. Totally destitute of the gilded trappings of rank, and standing alone like Saul a natural king among men, ho not only commanded respect, but won admiration. Firm in his purpose, and fixed in his resolve, even the recklessness of the South, in the early days of the contest, at times recoiled before the calm front which ho inva riably showed in the midst of disaster and in the very face of failure. It was in vain that politicians preached this policy and . that policy. The course which he bad to folloW had been traced out for him by the sword of Washing ton and the pen of Franklin. Ile had no doubts, no fears, but before com mitting himself to the last resort of complete coercion, he left no measures of conciliation untried. When, how ever, ho found that his intentions were misconstrued, his clemency mistaken, and his magnanimous propositions spurned with contempt, ho set himself deliberately to the task of subjugation, and punishment. The terrible rever ses of the Southern States prove to demonstration hoW severely he visit ed, with his wrath, the crime of their treason. His cruisers swept from the surface of the sea that scourge of coin mere°, the buccaneer Semmea. The best Generals of the South had to suc cumb before the superior tactics of the Northern leaders. His armies swept over the Southern lands like locusts; mid the Confederate Chiefs, apparent ly feeling that they bad no chnco of success, while ho was alive, determined to rid themselves of the friend their own iniquities had converted into a foe, by means of the weapon of the as. sassin. No more despicable act was ever conceived, and its success will be its everlasting punishment. There can now, amongst Christian nations, be only ono feeling with respect to the atrocity of the butchery—that of hor ror.! The recognition of the South, by any European nation, has become as impossible, as was that of the sover eignty of the Guillutine. When once a power steeps its hands in the blood of murder, it is no longer a power—the mark of Cain is set upon its forehead, until the curse of crime crushes it at last. The genial, warm heart of Lincoln had raised him up friends in all parts of the world, and his _death will be as universally regretted, as the names of the assassins will be execra ted. Whatever mistakes may have been made, by his ministers, and how ever severe some of the retributions exacted by his Generals may have been, Lincoln was firm, but forbearing to the last. His attitude was, at all times that of a Captain, who amidst the conflict of wind and wave, knows that only calmness, coolness, and a steady reliance upon the God of Battles,-can enable him to ride out the storm. No petty anxieties, ever for an instant, disturbed the balance of his finely ad justed mind. Ile knew that the cause of right must triumph in the end, and ho was therefore enabled to stand, fearless at the helm, and do his duty. Alaglo-Saxons, in all parts of the world, - will ever hold in high regard the name of Lincoln. At heart he was a thorough Englishman : while exteriorly, he pro seated all the quaint peculiarities which distinguish the genuine Amer can. A good husband, a good father, a single-hearted patriot,. and a repub lican of the grandest type, his name will shine in history like a star, and shed its radiance over emancipated, and enlightened, millions: Although he and his compeer have fallen by the mean hands of assassins, their deaths 1 1 aro not the less honorable, on that ac• count; and when their eyes closed upon the world, we daro say the thought that they had saved their country, .must have sustained thorn, when they felt the shadows closing round. As the poet says : And whoa nges rend this most mournful story, Theylt find that duty led the way to glory,— That when the task was finisled, kern Lincoln died; Still the Chief, or all, who had his power 4(1,11 7 —pecan herald HUNTINGDON, PA,, WEDNESDAY, JULY 19, 1865, Four Idle Daughters, Yes, every one of them, idle, sloth ful, and, consequently, sensual and un refined. Dress in exquisite taste, do they? No doubt, and show. white fingers as they crochet or play the pi ano. And what if they do shine in the opera box, or tho concert room and theatre, as the pretty B's 7—eve rybody who knows thorn at all, knows them as four idle daughters. The gen tlemen who, captives of a passive fan cy, call upon them at times, know that from morning till night they' pass in• active, silly lives; that their mother lives in the kitchen till her face is care worn, and her feet ready to drop with fatigue. Oh I it must be a bad thing to have four idle daughters, not ono of whom is willing to lessen the burden or expense by even a trivial employ ment; not one of whom is willing to wash a muslin or prepare a Meal.— Useless cumberers of the ground aro they, and nobody -would miss them wore their foolish, unreasonable lives to be cut off tomorrow. They pre tend to be educated, can toll probably that London is the metropolis of Eng land, and Franco is a sunny clime; but the best of all education, good, prantical, common sense, genuine solf. respect, that should make them blush for their ignoble dependence, these four idle daughters lack. It is not genteel to wash for themselves—it is not lady like to sweep a room, except for those coarse, commonplace persons who have been brought up to work:— And what, pray, are they ? The chil dren of commonplace people who la bored as God meant every son and daughter of Adam should labor, or . pay the penalty of idleness. Now they aro four great animals, feeding, loung ing and sleeping. They will never be either respvted or beloved by anybo dy whose love or respect is worth a farthing. As long as their fool. WI mother lives she will slave for thorn, humor them, and please herself with the imaginary belief that they aro ladies; for "they never did a stich of work." When she dies, how mali ciously tho lookers on will say : "Now these four girls will have to work; I'm glad Of it." They will never find half the sympathy or respect they might have looked for, if they possessed com mon sense enough to employ them selves. Idleness is the nurse of sin, and it is not possible for inert or we. men to be pure and virtuous, if they lead lives of laziness and inactivity.— These four idle daughters aro, conse quently, to be looked upon with some suspicion. It is a hard saying, but the truth, that strict purity is incompati ble with laziness. Many a fair brew ed girl, with sparkling oyes and onga . ging smile, is sadly wanting in mental innocence. Watch the deportment of the daughters you know. If at home they are ministering angels,ligh toning the cares of the over taxed mothers, not ashamed to be seen with uprolled sleeves and soiled fingers; if they aro always busy at some sweet, agreeable task, oven in what they deem their idleness, the outward beauty of the shadow of the soul, pure, quiet, gentle, womanly. Marry ono of thorn. SOMETHING FOR GIREB.—Men who are worth having want women _for wives. A. bundle of gewgaws, bound with a string of flats and quavers, sprinkled with cologne, and sot in a Carmine saucer—this is no help for a man who expects to -raise a family of boys on veritable bread and meat.- The piano and the lace frame are good in -_their places; and so are rib bons, frill tinsel ; but you cannot make a dinner - of tho fernier; nor a bed blan ket of the latter. And awful as the idea may seem to you, both dinner and bed blanket are_necessary to do mestic happiness. Life has its reali ties as well as fancies; but you make it a matter ofklecoration, remembering the tassels and curtains, but forgotisg the bedstead., Suppose a yonng man of good sense, and of course good pros. pects, to be looking for a wife—what chance have you to be chosen ? You may coy him or trap him, or catch him; but how much better to make it an object for hint to catch you. Ren der yourself worthy of catching, and you will need no _shrewd mother or managing brothers to help you find a market. .ce - ..N0 doubt a lady may be expec Led to make a great noise in the world when her dress is covered with bugles. xvizc- "Time works wonders," as the lady said when she got married alter an eight years courtship.

The Great Eastern's weight, with the cable on board, is 21,- 000 tons; her measurement tonnage being 24,000. She will not approach the Irish coast nearer than twenty. five miles, and her stay at Yalentia will bo only long enough to make a splice with the shore line, which is laid twenty-five miles from the shore. The shore lino is the most massive ev er constructed. Its weight per mile being a little more than half the weight of ordinary railway metal. The shore end at Newfoundland will require only throe miles of bablo, which the Great Eastern will carry with her. The splicing of the cable will take about five hours, when the work of playing out will immediately begin, the ship going at the rate of six miles an hour. Signals will be "sent to the shore at stated periods to announce the latitude and longitude of the ship. It is ex pected that the Connection will be made on this side by the 20th or 21st instant. The - cable is the best over construe. ted. Tho tests are so delicate that a minute flaw in one cf the fdur coatings of gutta percha was detected and de fined almost to a yard or so, and the length in which it occurred was ctit out. The cable once laid in deep sea, never gives any more trouble, unless froM volcanic disturbance, but those laid in shallow water are continually getting out Of repair, but are easily put in order again. The point of dan ger apprehended is about a hundred miles from the coast of Ireland, where the water suddenly deepens from 300 fathoms tonearly 2,000. This is not from a tubniarino cliff, as first suppos ed, but is a slope of sixty miles, or 11.132.mA-45 ,feet to the mile, an incline about three times that of an ordinary railroad.

A crop of wheat of 40 bushels per acre, and GO pounds per bushel, weighs 2100 pounds, and thus requires about SO pounds of hones to supply it with that essential material. The usu al supply of hone dust (3 to 4 cwt. per acre),supplies each of the crops for four years with a each_ of phos phoric acid, which IS given out as the bones decompose. ERTMIiy are clouds like eeztelline zi ? Ileeituse they , hold the mine. Nothing raduCcs the current expen ses of a family for tho outlay more than a woll.managed kitchen-garden; but the general complaint with many is the labor of keeping it clean—the con stant fight with weeds. Some are of opinion that a garden of' a quarter of an acre in extent will grow more weeds than ten acres of farm land, and there is good ground for the belief cc cording to the way some are managed. A few weeds, allowed to ripen their seeds, will produce an abundant Crop next year; and thus, year after year, the earth becomes filled with them till the soil of a garden consists of throe main ingredients—namely; a soil nat. urally; a large amount of manure, ars tifidially; and an immense supply of foul weeds spontaneously. The question naturally arises, is it not practicable to clear out entirely and totally the last of the three? Aro weeds a necessity If a garden con tains a hundred thousand of them, and ninety-nine thousand aro killed by the hoe, why mot - the remaining thousand? It nine hundred and ninety of this thousand, why not the remaining ten? The soil of a garden may be completely purified of weeds and their seeds, greatly reducing the labor of keeping it in order, and largely contributing to a fine growth of tbo crops. It is mach easier to keep a garden perfect. ly clean than to be engaged in a con stant warfare with the weeds. The . labor is far less. The reason that it is not done is the want of care and atten tion. " Nearly all are satisfied if a gar'. den is nearly clean. 'AM is the origin of all the trouble—namely, leavinga few weeds to seed the whole ground. The remedy is, begin now, eradicate everything that • may have shown its head, and so continuo the examine tion every week. Ono morning every Week should beset apart-for this special purpose.

And alter they are out continue the proceiis to keep them out: It is easier to spend half an hour in a morningonce a week in this *ay, and have geed crops'than to ,spend three days in each Week fighting the intru ders, and, as a consequence, getting bad erops:—,Seollish Farmer. The Home of Andrew Johnson. Rev. Randall RoSs, chaplain of the 15th Ohio regiment, writos an interes ting Jotter to the [United Presbyterian, doScriptivo . of tile:village of Greenville; Rost Tennessee, the home of President Johnson. The place contains only about ono thousand inhabitants, and consists" of four squares, with streets running through at right angles. The writer mentions the principal build ings—churches, taverns; "the old mill," &c:, and also notes the spot in the gar. den of Mrs. Williams, where the-noto rious John Morgan *as shot and mor tally wounded by a Union soldier. Re was shot while crouching under , a grapevine, and tho'vine has since been cut away by soldiers who have taken the "cuttings" to plant. Mr. Ross then continuos i But Green Ville is especially noted and honored as being the home of Andrew Johnson, prer out President Of the United States. This renders this village interesting to all, Mid every thing connected with Andrew John son's residence in it is of the deepest interest to tho American people. Many years ago, on a certain evening, a rude, blackheaded, black-eyed, good-look ing boy, said ray informant, droVe into town with a poor old horse in a little one-horse vehicld, in which he had his mother and a few house-hold things. They succeeded in securing an humble . habitation by rent. This secured, the next object was to secure labor .by which to livo. Ile began to inquire for tailoring to do. Ilisyouth ful appearance made it seem to be somewhat of a risk to put cloth in his hands. Ills honest appearance, to gether with hisanxioty to obtain work, howover,induced an influential citizen to give him a coat to make for himself, with the advice to do his boat on it, and if ho mado a good job of it ho then would have no . difficulty in get-' ting work. lie did his host, ho same. dod With the job, and ho begat imme diately to gain the confidence of the public and to got plenty to do. ' This was the first appearanco of Andrew Johnson in Greenville, Tennessee, and this was the first job of work ho did on his own responsibility. The first bouso ho lived in, I was told, is not now standing. Ile was industrious and attentive to business, and he sue eeeded] Well. In process .of time he was married.- The marriage ceremony was performed by Mordecia Lincoln, Esq., said to be a distant relation of the late President Lincoln. The house in which he was married has been re- March 3, 1845 TERNS, $2,00 a year in advance, Weeds in Gardens, moved. At this time, my informant told me, Andrew Johnson could not read, and was taught to read by his wife after their marrage. Things pros pcord with him,and in due time ho be came able to own his own house and lot. Just down there at tho base of this hill stands a small brick building, with a back porch, and around it the necessary fixtures. It stands on the corner of the square, near where the mill race passes under the street on its way down to the little old mill. That is the first house ever Andrew Johns son owned. It now belongs to an other person. But down there about due west from where I sit, and almost directly opposite the "little old mill,". whose large wheel is still moving, but whose motion is scarcely percep tible, and you will see a rather hum ble, old-fashioned looking, two story brick house standing near tho south end of Main street. It has but one en trance from the street. In front of it stands three, or four small shade trees. The fences of the lot and windows of the house shows evident signs of dila pidation, the consequence of rebellion and of rebel rule. Like many other windows in the South, a number of panes of glass are broken out and their places supplied with with paper. Glass could not be obtained in the 'Confederacy. As you pass along the pavement on Main street, by looking into the lot you see several yong apple trees, and In the spaces between two of them are potatoes growing. In the rear of the kitchen stands a small ashen shade tree, and down there in the lower end of the lot is a grape vine, trained upon a trellis, forming a pleas ant bower. Scattered over the lot are. a number of rose, currant and goose berry bushes. At the lower end of the lot, and just outside stand two largo-weeping willows, and under-their shade is a very beautiful spring. This is the residence. of Andrew Johnson, President of the United States. Up street stands his former' tailor shop, with the old sign still on it. And in an old store room up street is the re mains of his library. At present iteon slats principally of law books and pub lie documents, most of his most 'volu ble books having been destroyed by rebel soldiery. • Such is a brief description, of the home of Andrew Johnson, now Presi dent of the United States. It is in a lovely and unpretending little moun tain village of Bast Tennessee—just such a place as mon would bo least' likely to look for a President of the United States in, but is the place from which Providence has called our pre sent Chief Magistrate,• and that he comes from such. a homo is his great est honor. and the plainest evidence that ho is the, chosen instument of Providence to carry out his purpose with this nation. May ho, as his la mented predecessor, always fool the responsibility of his poiition, and with tho same honest; Christian trust, be enabled to carry out the designs of Providence 'in placing him in the posi tion ho now occupies.

Widow, The Deacon's wagon stopped ono morning before widow J . oneek door, and ha gave 00.1)610 ormnitklr sign, that he wanted somebody in the house, by dropping the reins and sitting dou ble with hie elbows on bis knees. Qi tripped the widow as lively as A e4in ket, with a tremendous black ribbon on 141 . snow - white cap, "QOO4 =til ing" was said on both sides, and tho widow waited for what was further to be said. "Well, Ma'am Jonei, verb", you don't want; to sell one of your cows * now, for nothing, anyway, do you "Well, there, Mater - Smith, you couldn't have spoken my rain 4 bettor. A poor lone woman like me does not know what to do with so many cretitre and I oPiould hegira ,to troth) if wo can fix it." ' ' So they adjourned to the meadow, Deacon Smith looked at Itoan—then at the widow--at Brindle—then at the widow—at the Downing caw—% then at the widow again—and so thro" the whole forty. - The same call was made every day for a week, but the Beason could not decide which cow. - he wanted. AA length, on Saturday, when the widow Jones was in a •burry to get through her baking for Sunday—and had "ever so much to do in the house," as all far mer's lvives and widows have on. Sat. urday—she was a little impatient—. Deacon Smith was as irresolute as ever "That 'ere Downing coW io,a pretty fair cretur," said ke, "but"---he atepod to glance at the widow% faco, and then walked round her—not tbio fsidow buttho cow.` • "The .Downing -eon , I knew before .the late Mr. .tones bought her." Uere he sighed' at the allusion to the tate Mr. Jones; she sighed and both looked at each other. It was a highly inter= esting moment: ' "Old Roan is a &UMW old milobi and so is Brindle—hat I have 'knoWn better!' A long stare succeeded his speech—the' pause was getting "mr ward,—and at last Mrs. Jones broke out- "Lord! Mr, Smith, it . Fm the coW you want, •de say so !" The intentions of the Deaeon and the widow wore published, the next ! day. River Life in. Siam. M. Monhot, a French naturalist, has lately returned to Paris, from a visit to Siam. A portion of bia, 04100ot:co. is thus described : "The journey by land was less inte resting and beautiful than the voyage on the great gulf, one inhabited by eagles, the other the dwelling place of the iguana, and rustling with the, strange sounds made by -these °ma-. tures as they trailed their loathly limbs' over the dead leaves and 'fallen hien ches. Towards evening the boat would be suffered to ground upon the mud, whence arose a strong sulphuric as though a subniarine volcano slept its threatening sieep beneath. Ono day the odor was explained, and M. Montiot's supposition realized, for, as they floated fslowly upon the Airoad water, under the burning -sun, Alto waves suddenly arose, and tossed and; boiled around thorn, , and toyed ,with the little bark in rough and. ghastly play; and then an. immense jet of steam and water 'Was flung ,into the air. Nature;works unremittingly and rapidly in those distant laboratories, I and the geological changes of the en . - . • tiro territory aro easily, to be- traced. From the greatlgulf they entered the Chantabour 'river, and rowed along its banks,.rfeh with 'all the treasures of the tropics in animal and. Vegetable life. The splendid forest trees roared their lofty heads above the deep swift stream; and spread their giant arms to the parasites which bound them in in tertwining wreaths of blossom and ' trailing foliage. The Airless air was laden with perfumes, and bright with ; the wings of the myriads of Weeds, which, like living 'jewels, flashed out, their brief life "in the sthishino. Innu morablo monkeys jumped-about in the trees,chattering and shriekingor form- ed themselves, by adhesive links of limb and tail, into a chain, Whose first coif was fastened to the Nana of huge tree,- while the last hung,- temp ting, but unattainable, within a few inches of the terrible jaws of a begun% ed and hungry crocodile." /ar"So,. Tom, that old liar, Dick Fibbins, is dead." "Yes. his Yarn!l arts wound up; he'll Ho no morc--tbc rascal."
