Augustits, in the service of their

in the Department of State, with the
position of assistant secretary.

William left a very lucrative, bug
uess, a young wife and baby, and, as
Colonel'-cif the Ninth New York Ar
tillery, Came to brave : the hardiThipa
of a soldier. .At the , battle of Alo
nocacy he -distingui6hed himself and
was wounded, fur which he' was
raised tO the rank of brigadier 'gen
eral.
In 1863, while cOmmanding at Fort
Foote, On the Potoniac Will ban was
seized With an acute attack of dysem-,
tery, induced by exposure in that
materiel's district. He . was - brought
home to Washingtowhy the surgeons
in charge, who leoked upn
,his case
as one to excite the/ greatest, alarm.
For severel days he JlaybetWeen life
and (lea' C . ills uo th a greatest Bolin:

f had .the opportunity'Of estimating
the character of that angelic woman
who, reeving around his' couch 'as if

.. He ral
lied, apd his couvaleseefica brought
a consciousness of happine s in that
lionseliqtd, which, withent excessive
demonsArations, seemed - to -pervade
he very air. As he became convales
cent, recommittided a - ternporary
change of &mete; and ordered him,
to his honie in 'Auburn. There he
improved greatly, and gave hope of
a specarrecover,y; but a few weerfs
after,,trie malaria still remaining in
-his system developed into a danger
ous
forth of typhoid fever.,._
Abont the first of November Mr.
Saward requested that I should . im
a,epiately go with him to, Auburn.
Re had !received a telegram stating
that a consultation of physicians had'
.riven-but little hope of the recovery
of his son. Furnished with an extra
train, aceompanied - by hiS daughter
.V'anny—Pow his almost inseparable
companion—we started 'for Auburn.
,lluring this long ionrney be con
versed • o freely that, I ventured to
:isk him_ the question 'low it hap
penea] that he, the acknowledged
leader .of the Republican party, was
liot selected as the candidate for tbe,
Pi esideney in 1860? " .1 put my ques
lion with some degree of titnidit,,
foil feared that, he might be sensi
tive on that -subject. He surprised
me with - his frank and unaffected an
swer. There was 'no bitterness or
disappeintinerit in - the tone of his
voice.. If he had bad the ambition
to becime the Chief Magistrate of
the nation—particularly' when his
party, t4'child of his brain came
into power—it was smothered by th
.iobler desire of serving his country
'rather 9,an him'elf.. 11 4 i reply 7": .
' . `,‘ The le tiler of a political party in
a country like-ours-is so exposed that
his enemies become as numerous and
formidable as his friend:4olnd in an
,election you must 'put forward the
man whd will carry the highest num
ber of Votes. Pennsylvania would
not have voted for me, and - without
her we could not carry the election :
hence I was not...the available man.
Mr. LinColn possessed all the neces
sary qualifications to. represent our
party, and being comparatively un

his iegimt'nt at the battle of Menoca

tire hasty' retreat - of the rfitional for
ces he was left on the field. - The
rebels rushing wildly in pursuit, did
nut discover that tinder a simple blue
blouse was an officer of 'so much im;
portauce. He played 'possum, as they
say in the Army, waited for them to
get out of Sight, then caught a stray
mule, mounted it, and came the
lines at Washington. The simple
and uneonspicuous uniform saved
him, as it saved.many of our officers
in the Campaigns. Had it been oth
erwise, he would hate - been discov

his life-in the murderous Southern
prisons.

looked like an exsanguinated corpse.
In approaching him my feet went
deep in blood: Blood was streaming
from au extensive gash in his swollen
cheek; the cheek was now laid own,
and the flap hung loose on his neck
With , prompt application of iced
water I checked the hemorrhage, and
then examined the extent of the
wound. The gash commenced few
,the high cheek bone down to the
neck, in a semi-circular form, towards
the 'month; it was, probably, five
'inches long and two inches deep. It.
was 'a frightful. wound. It seemed
as if the jugular vein or the carotid
artery must be. wounded, so 'great
was the loss.of blood. I was greatly
relieved to find that they were not:
Mr& Seward and' her daughter, al
must paralyzad, were 'waiting and
watching for my first word, Believed
to see that the Seeretary,had so mi
raculously epeaped the severing of
those two vital vessela,l said: " Mr.
Seward, even in your misfortune, I'
must congratulate you; !he assiassin
has idled, and your life is not in
danger."
He conld not speak, but he made
a sign with the hand for his wit) and
danghter to approach, took hold of
their bands, and his eyes only spoke /
and bid them hope. /
• I had hardly sponged his lactgiom
the blo - ody titains and replaceid the
when- Mrs. Seward, with an in
tense look, called me to her. " Come
and see Frederick," said she.
Soniewhat ,sarprised, I said, ,'What
is the matter with Frederick?' In a
painful whisper she muttered, "He
is badly wounded, I fear."
Without 'adding another word, I
followed her to the next room, where
I found Frederick bleeding profusely
from the head. He bad a ghastly
appearance; was unable to articulate,.
gave me a smile of retioguition, and
pointed to his head. There I found
a large wound.a litik above the fore
head and somewhere on the medium
line, and as other further back on the
same side. The cranium . had been
crushed in in both places, 'and the'
brain was exposed. The wounde
were bleeding, profusely, but the ap
plication of cad water pledgets soon
stopped the hemorrhage. I fettred
them wounds would prove fatal.L.
Mrs. Seward again was - haunting
me with that .
, intense look of silent
anxiety. I gave her words of encour
agi-Inent ; I feared they Were un
, .
Meaning words. . •
. Again - she drew me to •• her with
that 100 I had seen ,in the
,otlier
room.' As I approached , almost be-
Wiidered t she said, " Cow.
,and 'see
Augustus.".
For - Heayejes salw; ,. .Mrs. Seward,
what does all tZis mean? " •
I foilowa her in another room, On
the same flqur i and therelound An
gustus,' with two coil -on his fore
head and one ion ,his : right hand.
They were superficial.
As I turned to Mrs. Seward to give
her a word of comfort, she said
" Come and see Mr. Itobintinn."
. I ceased wandering; my Mind 'be
came as if parals - zed; mechanically I
followed her and examined Mr. Rub
i
inson. 'He had four or five cuts on'
his shoulders. They, too, were su
perficial.,
Again I turned to Mrs. Seward, as
if, Any:more?" yet uube.•
living thlt any more could be wound
ed. She answered' y look. "Yes,
one more."
In another room I found Mr. Han
sell, piteously groaniug on the lid&
He said he was wounded in the back,
I stripped him, and found -a deep
gash just above the small of the baek4 ,
near the spine. I thrust my finger
in the wound, evidently made by a
large bladed knife, and found that 'it
foll.med a rib, bat had not penetrated
the viscera. cfore was authher tat=
raculons escape. ,Even here I was
gild to be able to give a ward of
comfort. •
And all this the work of one man- 1
yes, of one man
No one in that house knew theh that
at that very moment,. a morel fatal,
not so extensive a tragedy, was henry
perpetrated in that theatre where w:
thought people were rejoicing.
We were so engaged with the per r
,ilous condition of the viciims of this
'terrible slaughter, that we had nci l t
time even to ask for an explanationL
A blight, as if from a thunderbolt,
had passed over this house, laying it '3
inmates low with stricken bodies,
with-paralyzed surds:
What human passion, What frantic
revenge, could find a vent in such a
monstrous dt ed ?
What could Mr. Seward havedone,
in the course of his life, to *have
awakened such demoniacal passion?
These quv.stione - each mind pat to
itself, yet no answer could be given.
Yet, one teal, a wan unknown to Mr.
Seward hiniat lf, had done it all!
luexplicable, as horrible, was this
foul deed,'
Not comprehending either object,
cause, or ereut, we had the doors o
the house locked.
In a few minutes the city was full
of the wildest rumors; horrified and
excited, the people ran " throUgh the
streets; giving utterance to !expres
sions of grief and alarm, that grew
deeper and deeper, and rose higher
and higheroantil the unusual sounds
surged into an uninterrupted roar.
attracted by this unusual commo
tion, we, lent our ear to cimprehend
the meaning of the mysterious and
frantic echoes of the people's lament.
It was then we learned that Mr. Lin
coln had been shot and killed, in the
midst of his. friends; by the side of
his wife, at the acme of the people's
' '
• The' mystery was solved. It was a
hellish machination of political inad
i2ess. The discovery, although,over
powering, was a relief. The victims
of the tragic act were innocent; the
uses were not personal. The odi
ous act sanctified the victims. •

groans, their mow-stricken hearts.
Shutters wire inquiringly thrown
open by the fearkas, doors were
locked by the timid. antiety was on
every face. Ware we walking on a
volcano! Households rose from their
beds, mothers folded their children
within their arms, as if theyleated
danger in the very air. Men.returned
to' their homes to shed' tears with .
their grief•stricken families.
"Let us now recur to some of the
Chief incidents of the attempted as•
eaesination:
At or about 10 o'clock of the 'eve
ning of the 14+11'of April, thirtrmio
rates after I bad left Seward, the hell
of his house gave a ring. A man
holding a little package in his hands,
presented himself, saying I must go
up to Mr.. Seward, to deliver him the
medicine and a — message from• Dr.
Verdi.
, Thelad tella him he cannot go up,
but woultideliver both' medicine and
message himself.
No; the stranger can n ot trust the
i rp .rtiir, message; he must go up
himself.
, .
.• In va,in'the lad remonstrates; In
iis testimony:efore the .court, he
states: . • 1 - .

. .
" I told him e could not go' np ;
it mai; against m , orders,: That if be
would give me t e medicine, I would
tell Mr. Seward ow' to take it. That
would not do;, 11 started ,to- go up.
Finding that o 'would go up, I
stepped past hi n.' Then, thinking
that such might, e the orders of Dr.
Verdi, and tha r f was interfering, I
begged him to excuse' rue. I becanie
afraid that he :night telr, Mr. Seward
and the doctor 'of in'y interference.
He answered '' all right.' As- he'
Stepped heavily, Hold him to walk
light, so as not to disturb the Secio
tary." •
'hi the adjacent room. to Mr. Sew-.
'ard's Frederick,is lying Qa• the sofa,
resting. Ile - h4ars steps and voices

lauding and there meets the stranger.
Frederick inquires, " What doryou.

"'I want to see Mr. Seward.

"My father - is asleep; give me the
medicine alicl :be,dirktions; I will
take them to
'• No, I must seeam I must see
him," he repeats -in a determined
manner.. • '
" Yon cannot see him; you cannot
see hint. •I am tbe ^ proprit tor here ;
lam Mr. Seward's-son., - you can
not leave theta with me, )ou -cannot
leave theia at all."
Thee man stilt insists; Frederick
still refuses. The determined tone
of Frederick causesthe man to hesi
tate; he even turns to go down
stai , s, the lad preceding him, telling
hina to walk lightly. ife descends
four or fiveisteps, when suddenly he
turns back and springs upon Fred
erick, giviug him a blow—doubtless
with the heavy pistol- r —on Ihe head,
that fells him to the ground. The

down crying, " Murder, waiter r
He files to the corner—Gen. Augur's
I:7l4dquarters. He finds no guard.
In the meanwhile Robinson, the
nurse in attendance on Mr . Seward,
hearing the unusual noise, opens the
door' and - sees the stranger, and
Frederick thrown on his hands and'
bleeding ; before ho has time for
thought the assassin 'is on him,
striking him to the ground; he quick
ly rises, ' but befu e he can 'clinch
with him the assassin is on Mr. Sew
who having awakened, and compre
hending the scene at once, had risen
'in his bed. The assassin p.ungei an
Immense knife in Mr. Seward's face;
he attempts another stroke at his
neck, but 11, ,binson is ;on him, and
-the knife is partially arrested. ,He
tries to disenoge himself from Rob
inson by ntriking him with the knife
uvtr the shoulders.
The daughter, who, too, is watch
ing in the dimly lighttd room,
screams " help " and " Murder."
' Augustus Seward, who i 9 taking,
an early sleep totbe able to watch hiS
father la*er iu the night, is awaken
ed by the heart-reudin screams of
his sister. This room is on the same
floor; and undressed he runs to his
father's room. His mind, hardly
aWakened, does not take in the situ
ation; he thinks his father delirious;
he sees a min in the ntiddle of the
room; be thinks it is his father; he
tak;ts . hold of _him; as hp grasps him
he perceives,tby his size and strength,
it can - not be his father; he thinks it
is the man servant drunk or crazy:
he grapples with him to cast hint
out; he receives blows with some in

The man yells like a tiger, "I aim
mad! I am mad!' Augustus pushes
him - o`ut and follows him, locking the
dooribehind hum to prevent his re
turn.
