EARLY INCIDENTS OY - THE NEBEL-
LION.
A Chapter from Tharlow Weed's Auto.
biography. •
[From the Galaxy for June.]
1111. uncoues FIRST INAUGURATION.
The first and only inauguration of
a President I ever attended was that
of Mr. Lincoln fn 1861. It was
known that designs upon his life,
while on his,way from Springfield' to
Nashington, were providentially
averted. It was also known that the
question of seizing upon the Govern
ment and its archives had been con-,
templated. The few troops in Wash
ington were therefore stationed
around the Capitol. Duringthe cer
emony of inawniration, I walked
about the ground s,' encountering Ma
jor-General Wool, with a detachment
of United States troops ready for ac
tion, and two pieces of cannon post
ed so as to rake the important ave
nue. I soon after found Lieutenant-
General Scott, with the same, num
ber of cannon (on one of which the
veteran was resting his elbow), post
ed in an equally advantageous posi
tion. This, in a country so long ,ex
empted from serious internal
colh
• sions, occasioned painful reflections.
General Scott assured me that these
precautions were not unnecessary,
and that they had not been taken a
moment too early. All, however,
passed without either an attack or
But it was not long be
fore unequivoml symptoms of rebel
lion were manifested.
LOSS OF HARPER ' S FERRY
• When in Washington a few days
afterwards, ..I was awakened early one
morning_by Horace H. Riddell, for
merly a resident of, and representa
tive from Allegany Co., N.Y., but then
living at Harper's Ferry, who inform
ed me that, unless immediately rein
forced, the arsenal and armory at that
place would be attacked and taken
by enemies of the Government, who
were banding together for that pur
pose i • adding that there was not an
hour to lose. I went immediately to
the Secretary of War with this infor
mation. He thought the danger
could not be so imminent, but said
that the subject should have imme
diate attention. I went from the
Secretary of War to General Scott,
who promptly said that my informa
tion was confirmatory of that which
he had received the evening previous.
" But," he added,. " what can I do ?
My effective force / all told, for the de
fence of the capital, is twenty-one
hundred.. Washington is as much in
danger as Harper's Ferry. I shall
repel any attack ttpaa this city, hut I
cannot hazard the capital of the Un
ion, as I Would' do by dividing my
force, even to save Harper's Ferry."
My friend Riddell's information was
but too reliable. - The next day brought
us intelligence of the loss of Harper's
Ferry.
TUE GOSPORT NAVY YARD
Soon after this, our first taste of
rebellion, I received information from ;
an equally - reliable source that Gos
port, with its vast supply of muni
tions of war, was in danger. Of this
I informed the Secretary of the Na
vy, at the breakfast table of Willard's
Hotel. Believing from hie manner
that he attached but little importance
to my information, I reiterated it with
emphasis, assuring him that it would
be oceasion for deep regret if Gos
port were not immediately strength
ened. Meeting the Secretary at din
ner the same day, I renewed the con
versation, and was informed that the
matter would be attended to. This
did not quiet my solicitude, and, leav
ing the Secretary to the placid enjoy
ment of his dinner, I repaired to the
White House. Mr. Lincoln, how,
ever, had driven out to visit some for
tifications. I made another attempt
in the evening to see him, but hews
again out. Early the next morning,
however, I found him, and informed
him I had heard of the danger that
threatened Gosport, and bow, as I
feared, I had failed to impress the
Secretary of the Navy with the accu
racy of my information or the nears
sit, of immediate action. " Well,"
said Mr. Lincoln, " we can't afford to
lose all those cannon ; I'll go and see
Father Welles myself,"—as ho did
immediately. The result was that
Admiral Paulding was then dispatch
ed to Norfolk, and arrived just in
time to enjoy an illumination, occa
sioned by the burning of Govern
ment property, and witness the •cap
ture of Gosport.
CO3OII7NICATION CDT err.
I left Washington on the morning
of the dm that the Massachusetts
Sixth Regiment was attacked at Bal
timore, meeting that regiment enter
ing Baltimore as our train was leav
ing it. the railroad bridges over the
Gunpowder and Bush Rivera were
burned soon after we crossed them ;
after which there was no railway cola munication between Baltimore and
i 1.,~
Havre . de Grace. Late that :night I
received,' at the Astor House, the fol
lowing telegram from ' the Secretary
of State r •
" WAsulzfottnr, April 18, 1861.
The danger is imminent. Hasten
the movement of steamers with troops
via Annapolis.
" (Signed) Wm. H. Samna."
An hour later, I received the fol
lowing telegrbi from the Secretary
of War :
• " Charter steamers - and despatch
troops to Annapolis.
•' (Signed) SMQN atiassou."
This, as I learned in the ,momin . o,
was the latest despatch., that, Caine
over the wires,: the line having ,been
destroyed during the night. Early
the•next morning, I chartered from
Messrs. Spafford Tileston, 'M. 0.
Roberts, Messrs. Mitchell & Co., and
IL B. Cromwell k Co., the steamers
belonging to their respective 'lines.
Meantime, colonels of regiments and
commandants of companies were
astir, the city resounding with mar
tial -music. Citizens came sponta- ,
neously together and appointed a
Union Defence Committee, com posed
of the most ! wealthy,infiuel, and
patriotic among us.
TROOPS SENT FORWARD.
On the following day (Sunday),
as the Eighth and Twelfth Regiments
were going on board the steamer Co
/usable, the danger of an attack in the
Chesapeake Bay was suggested. I
dispatched the.late Captain J. Com
stock (who was rendering vohintiuy,
but efficient, aid .and advice in ar
ranging charter parties and fitting
out steamers) with a note to Colonel
Scott, the United States officer in
command here, requesting him to
give an order to the officer on Gov
ernor's Island to place a cannon, Ike.,
on board the steamer Columbia. That
officer, who received Captain Com
stock as he was preparing for church,
replied that he "could not attend to
business on Sunday." Learning, on
Captain Comstock's return, that Ma
jor Heintzelman, an old friend, was
in command at Governor's Island, i
wrote a hasty note to him in pencil,
asking him fora cannon, which came
withont a moment's hesitation or de
lay.
The New York Sixty-ninth (Irish)
Regiment, for refusing to turn out on
the occasion of the visit of the Prince
of Wales, was deprived of its colors.
Though never actually disbanded, it
had not since been doing duty.
While occupied in getting other regi
ments off, Colonel MiChad- Corcoran
brought Inc a letter of introduction
from Archbishop Hughes. -The Col
onel said that the murder 'of Massa-
ehnsetts men in the streets of Balti
more had greatly excited his men,
and if the colors of the Sixty-ninth
were restored and the services of the
regiment accepted, he would be ready
to march, with one thousand rank
and file, ill twentyfour hours. I in
formed Governor Morgan, at Albany,
by telegra . ph, that the Sixty-ninth
regiment, if restored to its former
status, would immediately take the
field. A. few hours brought me - a
dispatch, accepting- the services of
the Sixty-ninth, and warmly thank
ing Colonel Corcoran, his officers and
men, for their promptitude and pa
triotism. The Governor's dispatch
wits read in the evening to the regi
ment and received with , great enthu
siasm. True to his promise, Colonel
Corcoran marched through Broad
way, amid enthusiastic acclamations,
on the following day, to embark for
Annapolis.
I left for Washington as 130Q11 as
the number of troops require were
on their way i • but, as the ads
were still obstructed between vre
de Grace and" Baltimore, we took a
small steamer at' the former place for
Annapolis, arriving early in the morn
ing.:-General Butler, who was in !
command, invited me to breakfast'
with him, where I met the late Gene
ral James. S. Wadsworth, who had
lust arrived in the tug Dunderbery,
oaded with provisions. While we,
were with General Butler, he invent
ed, so far as the word is applicable
to escaped slaves, the very expressive
term " contraband."
At Annapolis I found. Colonel Cor
coran with a part of his Sixty-ninth
regiment, several companies hiving
been disposed along the line og rail
way for its protection between, the
city of Annapolis and Annapolis
Junction. With this regiment I found
my friend, Charles G. Rapine (lirdea
O'Reilly), and the present Judge Mc,
Cunn, acting as voluntary connnis
saries, or sutlers. The train wit;
bountifully supplied with provisions
from General Wadsworth's steamer,
and left for Annapolis . Junction about !
midday. I took position withllessrs.
Halpine and McCune in a bag age
car loaded with provisions, whmh
were distributed to small detach
ments of troops stationed two miles
distant from each other. The abun
dant supply of bread, hams, butter,
cheese, &c., thrown out by the acting
commissaries whom I have named,
was received by men who had been.
twelve, eighteen and' twenty-fcmt
hours without rationS, with an avidi 2
ty not unlike that witnessed in me
nageries when the-animals are being
fed.
On Sunday as the battle was going
on, I was excited and nervous, and
could not help looking and feeling,
that it was to be a dey of disaster, if
not of dishonor to our cause. It was,
of course, a day of-ansiety to every
one. In the evening all were breath
lessly waiting for intelligence ; about
eleven o'clock., standing alone on the
sidewalk in front of Willard's Hotel
I saw a horseman dash around the
Tuner of Pennsylvania avenue. • Re
alighted within two feet, of me. It
was Colonel Burnside, of Rhode
land. His looks gave theintelligence
I bad dreaded. I asked no question,
and hel made no sign. Others fol
lowed soon afterwards, and the pain
ful news circulated through the city,
givipg . secret satisfaction to
( a le =
maprity of the inhabitants.
Patterson had notheaCieneralJob4-
son, nor did he make the least move
ment to obstruct his rapid march to
Ball Run.

tr4sinnoros, D.C., Nov. 'I, 18fi3f.'
—My Dear Mr. Lincoln.:' The: phin
for a more vigorous prOsecntion of
the war; which I ',submitted.
this morning verbally,. and`which I
now commit to paper, is bricfly this
"First—To avail yourself.' tit our
first decided success to submit 'a pro
clamation as broad in terms a nd , as
beneficent in spirit as language can
be made to .express the objecta,,offer-1
ing free, full, and explicit pardons,
and amnesties to all persons engaged
whether in civil or military capaci
ties, in making war upon the federal
Government."
",Second--An armistice or cessa
tion of hostilities for ninety days,
during which time all persons should
be permitted and protected in 'trav
eling to and from the, Southern and
Northern States.
" Third—That if within the ninety
days aforesaid, the citizens of the
Confederate Staten, or any of them
embracing the terms offered in the
proclamation, shall return to their
allegiance and ditties, they shall as a
State or States, be restored in all res
pects to the status,
.rights, pricil off,
and preroetives which they enjoyed
before their secession from the Union.
" Fourth—That if after the ()spirit.
Lion of the ninety days, the citizens
of all oreither of the States now en- •
gaged in making war upon the Gov
ernment of the Union, rejecting theie
offers of pardon and amnesty, per
sist in denying the authority of the
Federal Government, and continue
their warfare'against the Union, then
you shall submit a
. proclamation, an
nouncing that in the 4pture proseen,
Lion of the war, the raaintenance of
the Government, and the preserva
tion of the Union, all territory, wheth
er it be farms, plantations ,' villages,',
or cities, shall be partitiond equita- 1
bly between and among.. the :officers
and soldiers hi whom it lois con
quered. The advantages of this plan
are : l -
"Feral—That in exhausting the
last attribnto of humanity, in an una
vailing effort to restore peace, it makes
our record so clearly right, that you
stand justified in the eyes of the whole
world forpermi tti ng war to assume
its severes ts.
" Second—lhe armistice, occurring.
when the season interrupts active
army movements, occasions little
practical delay, but gives ample time
with uninterrupted facilities of the
travel thrbugh the Confederate States,
for the widespread circulation of the
proclamation.
" Third—ln offering to restore the '
Union as it was, you will, when that '
offer hue been rejected, secure a unit
ed North in favor of war to the knife.
" Fourth --That in partitioning reb
el territory ,as fast AS it may be con
quered, among the officers and eel
diers of , the armies by. which such ter
ritory is conquered, the queition will
not be how many troops can be rais
ed, but how many can be equipped,
organized, and advantageously en:i
ployed in the field. The deniortilins-,
tions and desertions ,consequent' upon ,'
,
large bounties will immediately . cease.

The tempbition to talk of
,persons
rather than of things lies very often
in your way, my sister. The petty
details of your life, breakfast, dinner
and tea, pordtcy• to-day, and roast
beef to-morrow, Jennie's whooping
cough, and Fred's measles, Bridget's
incompetence, or the heedlessness of
Mary Ann, and the never ending de
mands of fashion; have, almost before
you know it, a narrowing effect, up
on your mind. Theoretically you
despise gossi p —practically you add
your mite very , often to the common
fund. Yon are not ill-natured. The
' sweet charity that " thinketh no evil "
has its home in your heart's core, yet
sometimes, alas! it falls asleep, and
anger, wrath and bitterness come
stealthily . creeping up to the out
posta.
There are many great things which
we, eittmot do, however earnestly we
ma7g. There are some little things
which, with- faith. in Clod, and sincere
resolution, we can accomplish, and
one of these is to.reform our conver
sation.
Every woman should cultivate a
nice sense of honor. In a hundred
different ways this most fitting ad
junct of the true lady is so often
tried. For instance, one is a guest
in a family where, perhaps, the do
mestic machinery does not run
smoothly. LThere is a sorrow in the
house unsuspectedby the outer world.
Sometimes it is a dissipated son
whose conduct is a shanie and a grief
to his parents ; sometimes it is adis
contented Wand petulant daughter ;
sometimes a relative whose eccen
tricities and peculiarities are a cloud
on the home. Or, worst of all, hus
band
and wife may not bein accord,
and then there may be often bitter
words spoken; dna harsh recrimina
tions. In Any'of thee Cases the guest
is in honor bound to be blind and•
deaf, so far as the people without are
concerned. If 'a gentle - word within
cart do good, it may well be said, but
to go forth, and reveal the.shadow of
an unhappy secret to any one, even
your nearest friend, is an act of in
delicacy and meanness almost unpar
alleled. Once in the sacred preeinete
of any home, admitted-to its privacy,
sharing its life, till.that you can -see,
and hear &Old become a sacred
trust.. It is really as contemptible to
:gorssip of guch things as it would be
to steal the, silver, or, borrow the
bootie. and fOrget - to return them.
The foutnalition ;Or -this thought
le,ss sin is'sometimes laid, in. ear'y
life._ . Children corning home froin a
visit, are interrogated, - by mother or
s4t • er 4 .)licernin every little in and
out of Mrs. M.'s, or Miss S.'s house.
Don't do it again, dear - friend. Just,
say to the darling child, as he'or she
skips in, flulhed, and happy, ` 4 Well,
have.you ilia a pleasant visit? I'm
glad_ to hear it." Never mind wheth-.

,to ten thoueand .wrinkles, and vent

Supposp you•had to walk barefoot
over a • road thickly strewn with
thorns, and sharp tlintystones. What
would you do.? Go aside out of the
way to tread on every stray thorn
and pebble, instead of carefully avoid
ing every ndedless hurt 'by picking
your way wearily through them?
Which course will you choose now?
Will you snap your wife np at the
breakfast table when She asks yon.
for a " little 'ichanke ?" Would you
suggest to her the of your
all. going to ruin in a short time thro'
I the prodigal outlays made for house
holds needs, and then throw tho
money aeross the table as you'd throw
a bone to a dog? You know :very
well that her- demand is perfectly
reasonable; and you know, too, that
you would be just as much offended
as yon are now if . she - did not ask
you for money for household expens
es when it• is needed; but you are not
willing to miss the opportunity' of
selfishly venting • your unpleasant
feelings on this convenient domestic
scapegoat.
And if she should (wonderful to
think of I) pluck up enough courage
to ask you for money to Imy a nor
_I
dress—though it may .be only six
months since she committed this
mortal sin--don't ask' her ironically
if she thinks a thOrisand dollars will
do her for this time, or make some
cutting remark about her ruinous ex
travagance and the slave life that
you lead; but if you can afford it ,give
her the money cheerfully and a kiss
.into the bargain. But if you_ really
feel too poor to indulge yourself in
pthe pleasure of seeing.your wife in a
new dress for the• first time hi six
months, give her the kiss anyho*
and explain the matter kindly to her,_
and the ' kind explanation will • --go
nearly all the s way toWard making
her forget the disappointment.
Anil, above all, don't bring your
business' home at night. with you.
Don't sit in solitary misanthropy, or
snarl, and poke the fire. Your wife
hasn't had a chance to talk with you
all day. She has a thousand little
cheering itenis to communicate, but
while you sit there looking so cold
and repellant ; she has iio courago to
begin.
Your children are eager for ! game
of romps; but they are " afraid of pa
' pa," when ho looks as he .does here
to -night; so they . congregate in a
half-ftwed manner in the corners, un
til it is time to go bed. No plistsant
chat; no merry laughter, no game at
romps,, no music—nothing Gut gloom
and. constraint, because "father has
come in a bad humor."
;Iceberg! to behave so in the boa
sOin of your family. To turn away
from
_the pleasures and privileges
still left you, because you can't have
everything just as yOu want it! Think
of the loving, clinging hearts that
your coldness shadows—of the brighi•
faces over - which your frown 'has cast
a reflected gloom. Are you not
ashamed of yourself ?
Again,, your 'burden may be so
heavy that you can not smile. , But,
oh! be kind, , Because your own soul
is dark,• don't pierce another heart
With a needless wound by your cold,-
mils and. sullenness. Because there
are some thorns in your way,don't
plant other thorns the pat of an
.other with your - own hand. If you
cannot be cheerful, be kind.
LITE IN THE NIGH LATITUDES. :
The Hudson's Bay Company have
posts established as far north as the
65th degree - Of latitude, which is
righkon tho.edge of the Arctic Cir-L
de, where the mercury sometimes
falls to seventy degrees below zero.
An account of this far-off region, in
the Winnepeg New Nation, says:
• In this land they have a brief peri:
od called Summer, when .such of the
inhabitants as escape being frozen,
are: almost roasted alive. Generally
the thermometer ranges from 90 to
100 degrees in the- shade, and once
in a while' it indicates the glorious
red-hot heat of 120. This is in the
shade, recollect; and even in the
shade there seems a peculiar inten
sity in the heat which pervades
the atniosphere. There can be no
doubt but the inhabitants get thof
oughly thawed out before the return
of thdrigorous season.,
Another peculiarity Of life in these
parts is that there is no night there
during it considerable portion of the
year, and no .Aay,daring another per
iod. In fact, the seasons seem rath-:
er mired thereabouts. All summer,
threo,months or so, night comes not.
The ann remains visible the twenty
four. hours through. And diming
the winter season, for upwards of
seven weeks, only, a kind of twilight
enables the residents to blunderihro'
the day's labors: ' •
Stall another peculiarity marks this
reoon. r.tn rummer, the. inhabitants
Sleep in 'the -day time,, and get to
itott' at' their ordinary. ' viiestions—
whatevegr these may be, apart' 'from
eating—in the night. The hottest of

when
the sun is low they arise stud betake
themselves to - travet . td '‘Vor4-ii4; or

Daring the months of November,
/larch and April, the Esquimauuz
come to market with the produce of
their hunt—furs and reindeer moat.
The tribes in this quarter, we are
told, live very well; having a partial
ity for the " blabber of the seal and
the whale and the flesh of _ the rein
deer. And, farther, they , aro not ad
dicted to raw gosh. They like cook
ed meat as well as the best of us. In
/simmer, 'when the tribei are fol. the
most part stationary, their abodes
are wcoren huts, and lodges of deer
skin. In winter, when not on, the
road, they are all the time On the

1. It le •a strange thing that more
l!iequent prayers are not offered in
public religious meetings for the vic
tims of strong drink. blithe ordini
ry prayers of the - pulpit t ritith=snre
made for the sick and enffl; for the
poor and needy, for the'ecmveralen
of the heathen, and for . the reetork•
tion of the Jews. But the - poor '
.drunkard and his: family family •
are commonly forgotten We never
heard a dozen nunistial in all our .
life who especially and fervently
pra*ed for the , reformation of the
slaves of alcohol! It is quite tee
rare to bear the Christian work of
Timperince mentioned at all in pub
lic devotions. In the whole Boolx of
Common Prayer used by, our Episco
pal brethren wo do not recollect
single prayer for drunkarde. Yet
there is never a day in which alcohol •
is not destroying more . souls than
any ono evil in the 'community.
When Christian begin to pray for
the cause as they do for the amnion- '
al. 'cause, they will be ready to
give and to work for it. :God's -a ho
ly arm can give us the victory!"
2. There is another thing, and that
is that while some . •40 of extra
ortliodory in the ch )find fault
with too ranch tototalism in the ser
mons of certain ministers, we never.
have beard that tipplers ,or . Weir
wives make much objection to it..
Liquor-drinkers seldom ee: nano a
minister of the Gospel for preaching
against the intoxicating cup. Why,
then, should Temperance people do
it? - -
NUMBER 5.
3. Is it not strange, too, that,. in
spite of all the wretchedness, of
drunkards wives, young women aro
continually willing to marry men
who are in the habit of indulging in
the social glass? _ Ladies ofteu refuse
the marriage offers of young men be
cause they are toO poor, .or of too ,
humble a family, or too plain in their .
person or their manners. But onlyf .
now and then one has genie_ enough
to refuse to unite herself with a man
who will not pledge himself to total
ablitinence I We never pity the wo
man who marries a moderato drink
er, when she finds herself the wife of
a sot,
4. Another strange thing still. ise .
haie obser4d, and that is, that good -
benevolent people will give one hun
dred dollars cheerfully to the Bible
and the Foreign 3lission - . cattse, and
yet will look twice at a dime or a
quarter before they put it into a col
lection for the Temperance enter
prise. Rich men leave hundreds of
thousands to other religious charities
in their wills; butt when did a man
ever bequeath $lO,OOO to a Temper
ance Society or an Inebriate Asylum ?
.. The strangest thing of all is.

THE BEAUTIFUL.
It is Nrise - lo inculcate a lore fa
ry. There is a literature which em
bo'clies grand thoughts, that have,
been gathered up by the contempla
tion of The ages, rind "tikes them the
proPerty of him who reads. All these
and to be cherished and 'promoted,
not, solely for the present enjoyment
and satisfaction they give, but the
more because they feud in the direc
tion of future happiness.
I like to meet a man or woman
who is able to read, to think, to love
podtry, to enjoy ideal or representa
tive art; to cherish divine ,music: to
linger over the spots where Nature
has placed her most witching treas
ures—not only because these charac
teristics make those who possess
them- more useful in society, more
productive, more agreeable to come
in contact with; but also on account
of my belief that such agencies are
tlie educators of the soul,. developers
of, the life, and they necessarily lead
to contemplation of and reverence
for Gcd, and by a natural connec
tion, to acknowledgment of individu
al duty, and endeavor to discharge ;'
• kadrocate taste in dress, innocent . -
adornment of the person or/the home,
indulgence in the harmless luxuries
which - make up the finer side of so
cial life, because they are bulwarks
against vulgarity, because they keep
the soul in lore with beauty—arid
this betintiful always approximates
God. I expect to find morn of di
vine grace in a life which has been all
opened by such sympathies, than in
one that is coarse, rude, and uncar
ing with reference to them—just as I
believe there will be more and bright
er sunshine on a broad meadow thin
in a shut-up vault.
Tamu is a structure which every
body is building, young and old, each
one for himsejf. - - It is c a lled CILtRAC

stone.. If - day by day wo are careful
to build our lives with pure, noble,
and upright deeds, at the end it will ,
staid a fair temple, honored by God
and man. But, as ono leak will sink
a ship and one flaw break's chain, so
one mean, dishonorable; untruthful
act or word, will forever leave its im
press and work its 'influence on our
characters. Then let the several
deeds unite to form a day, and one
by one the days grow , into noble
years, and the years, as they slowly
pass, will raise at last a beautiful ed
ifice, endtiring forever to our praise.
