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

prone to indulge, when a series of mis.
fortunes has overtaken a people. The
Emperor Louis Napoleon will, wo fan

sympathies, with respect to the slave
owners of the South. "The assassins

WILLIAM LEWIS, Editor and Proprietor.
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;

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

a dinner - of tho fernier; nor a bed blan

chance have you to be chosen ? You
may coy him or trap him, or catch
him; but how much better to make it

TILE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH CABLE.—
The work of laying the Atlantic cable
was to commence on the 10th instant,
Monday last. 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

BONES • AND WILEAT.—ACCOrditiff 3 to
Sir - Robert Kano, the distinguished
chemist, ono pound of bones contains
the phosphoric acid of 28 pounds of
wheat. 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

years ago, on a certain evening, a rude,
blackheaded, black-eyed, good-look

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

to give him a coat to make for himself,

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

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.
