The Late Colonel Ellsworth.
- -
The best likeness of Colonel Ellsworth that
we have seen , is a fall-length in a Corte de
Visite, executed by Mr. Walter Dintnore, of
Chestnut street,,and sent to us by McAllister
& Brother. It was taken last year.
We have received
. many- poetical. tributes to
the memory of the lamented young soldier, so
early removed—so worthy of being held id
honor and remembrance. The following,
which has reached us with the signatnre
M. D. 0., possesses considerable merit:
immortal be the Memory of El:worth."
D ovoaserr.
Immortal?-Yes! thy name shall stand
Enrolled among a Hero-band;
• And rn each Freeman's heart shall be
A deathless memory of thee.
Immortal !—Does &Patriot die
When stops his breath—when dints his eye—
When Fame begins—when Glory star
Shines brightly o'er the field et ear?
Immortal !--William Jasper's name
Shall be less deathless than thy fame.
On htoultrle's walls he placed our Flag—
Thou past torn down Disunton's Rag.
Immortal'.-Though God , atop his breath,
A Patnot is exempt from death.
He cannot die—death has no claim
Oa him who beam a Patriot'e name.
Immortal !—When this strife is o'er,
And Treason braves the field no more
Thy name shall be in sadness sung,
From every lip, from every tongue.
Immortal!-Though tby voice no more
Shall oheer tby soldiers as of yore—
Though thy brave band shall mourn their deer
Lost, murdered Chief with soapy a tear—
Immortal thou—like him of old,
Whose glorious fail our Halleok told
In words whioh moisten many an eye—
Like him—" thow wart not born to die."

Encouragement at this Time for the
United States.
[For The Press.]
The way that God sometimes brings about
unanimity amongst a people is remarkable
The way I now mean is by rebellion or rove
Raton, during which a nation or State becomes
so disordered that everything, apparently, is,
about to be ruined.
The history of that singular people, the
Jews, furnishes many striking instances of
this. Under the free enjoyment of their tem
ple worship, and national blessings at home,
how prone they showed themselves_ to be to all
manner of idolatry ! Bow factious among them
selves ! How sectionally .divided! Judah
against Ephraim, and Ephraim against Judah !"
They knew not the value of the blessings, as a
nation, they enjoyed! But when 'dispersed,
carried captive, and, to all" appeerance, beige
lessly lost as a nation, just view their zeal,
their unanimity, their patriotism Under such
calamities, what a sincere true spirit of na
tional piety, national union, •brotherly love,
and exalted patriotism we see amongst them,
stirring in them, and hear from them! ' Listen .
to one burst of patriotism breaking out, and
sounding from Babylon to. Jerusalem, the su
perior of which never escaped from the month
of man—" If I forget thee, 0 Jerusalem, let
my right hand forget her cunning; let my
tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth, if I
prefer not Jerusalem above my chief. joy !"
Psal. 137, 5,
6. This feeling of pure united
devotion to their country and its best interests
they were generally strangers to while secure
in their own national domain ; but being
broken up and scattered, and subjected to the
creel yoke of their enemies, they became
united and -enthusiastic -. in - their loyalty to,
their owiLloveo; fruitthl" Holfleind - •••••
Apply this.. Now,,,when our Constitution is
attacked, when thenatlen stalseas-wiemincres
Minds are all excitement, when the loss of na
tional privileges is threatened; when the very
foundations of civil government are menaced
with destruction; how ought ail trim Chris-,
thins and patriots to act? Now is the time' 4
to express our -public dependence on God;
to manifest our devotion to pure Christianity
to exhibit the most unmistakable patriotism;
to publicly cheer the hearts of the administra-z
tom of our Government ; to deeply repent of
our national sins ; to evince the closest ima-_
Dimity in aims and efforts ; to cultivate seri
ous, earnest, unfeigned love one to another;
to abandon all sin, and prayerfully totem holy
and strong resolutions to prize and guard our
national blessings with keener vigilance, and
loftier courage than ever before!
Ought we not to manifest to Abraham Lin
coln, President of the United States, and the
heads of departments, our warmest devotion
irrespective of all differences in religious or
political creeds 7 Ought not this to be done
in the most direct, plain, public manner?
Have-we not now at the head of our army, our
navy, our national councils, a President who
combines in himself, legal;martial, political
and Ohristian . virtues sufficient secure our
confidente;that he khovitiiiew to' govern' a ire e
people? One who can act either in cabinet or
field, and who is indifferent either as to-war or
peace, only no far an eitber - shall conduce best
to the good of the nation aid mankind. Have
we not a military chieftain, gc whose very name
makes cowards brave ?" and do not our Se
cretary of State and Secretary of Wax, as well
as the other great officers of the Government;
combine in the aggregate, prudence and skill,
and firmness, to warrant the confidence of the
States loyal to the Constitution? Above ail,
we have "the God of the armies of Israel" to
depend upon! Let us then, with heart and
soul, ati4 mind - and might, with prayer and
faith, with dauntless courage and eagle-eyed
vigilance, stand by the Constitution of these
United States. N. W.

The Rebels proclaim that they expect thou
sands of Indians from the Choctaw and Chero

raising them; that they have actually in their
service a force. of Indians at or near Rich

New Orleans. Therefore, there is no reason
why the Government shoed& not employ the
same races. If the tomahawk and scalping
knife, and the firebrand, are to be their arms,
if the negroes are to be set at us, let them
beware; such a course provoke even

we restrain those who owe them deep debts

injury, robbery, stealing the securities for
debts belonging to the nations; the negro, for
all manner of wrongs. We restrain those who
are panting for vengeance became we respect
rights of property recognized by the glorious
Constitution, and because their blows would
not fall alone upon those who deserve it, who,
out of lust of place and money, have worked
the lamentable disorders' with which the
country is afflicted, but would involve in mirk
and devastation our brethren, the good, faith

Warrants for the arrest of the Leading
Conspirators.
[For Tbe Press.]
The overt act of treason has been committed
by the leaders in the rebellion—waging war
against the United States and the sovereign
people.
In the few antecedent instances of revolt in
this country, warrants have been issued
against the perpetrators, and in almost every
instance they have been arrested by the people
of the country.
Let warrants be now issued and published
by the Bench, or by the Executive, for arrest
of Jeff Davis, Beauregard, Lee, Browne, of
Georgia, Bragg, Pieter's, Pillow, Twiggs,
and each of the Governors who have declared
war or led forces against the country, enjoin
ing all citizens to seize and deliver them to a
faithful, safe authority, civil or military, of the
United States, to be dealt-with according to
law. There are yet numbers of bold 11 1 4
patriotic citizens in the.intected districts to
enforce the warrants. C.

from the Capitol—among whose pleasant

used to make it a favorite -place of resort _ ;
whilst that strange old genius, Chancellor
Bibb, fox forty years heforohia death, during
the season would ;stroll up and down the I
creek with his rod and tackle, sometimes.ic
companied by ; Henry'Clay, or Rink Melifee,
or latterly, by Breckiiiridge. 20f these, the
Chancellor, and ez-Vice President, a word.
One sweet summer afternoon I was wander
ing along the road which leads over the fields
and heath to the Kalorama. suddenly I was
startled by a load noise aheadrand quickly
looking up I perceived a wagon coming at a
furious rate directly in my pathway, and filled,
as - 1 thought, with a party of irresponsibilities
on a ;clerk." As they approached I saw a
long pair of legs go up into the air, as though
turning a somersault from the driver's seat. ,
A. ringing burst of laughter followed, and I
had but just time to get out of the way before
the vehicle dashed by me. It was a light Jer
sey wagon, with its bottom filled with straw.
Old, venerable Judge Bibb was driving, crack
ing
bis whip and cheering his horses in a fine
style of jollity, whilst John C. Breckinridge,
just inaugurated Vice President, was frolicking
forthe cbildren—his own and the. Judge's
grandchildren—in the straw, the noise equally
shared by the lungs of old and young. The
tears almolit start to my eyes when I recall the
change front that peaceflil republican scene of
innocence to the present , state of reality, in
whose horrors the hero of my little story has
played such a prominent part.
I But I digress. was speaking more par.
ticularly of the traditionary associations of the
Kalerame. Not least among its suggestive fear
tures is a spot overlooking the Georgetown
1 1 road, within sound of the drowsy murmur of
the mill. The dwelling is plainly Grecian, sur
rounded by pretty grounds and groves. You
leave it and proceed to your lett over uudulti
ting'fields, with a few trees, until you reach
the comb of a grass-covered hillock, where
you are arrested at once by a little old brick
vault, time-worn, moss-grown, and ivy-clad,
in a spreading otrole of pearl-colored gorse,
penetrated by blue violet. It contains the In
scriptions of Joel Barlow, Colonel Bamford,
of-the army, Judge Baldwin, of the Supreme
Court, and others of eminence. To come sud.
denly upon so. plain. a tomb, sacred to , the
memory of so many men of distinction, in such
an obscure place, rather startles the. tranger.
Below the tomb, in the dell threngh which
the creek winds its dreamy way among mossy
banks and under quaint old,bridges, the rural
beauty of the plate is perhaps meet pic
turesquely apparent. You reach it, after
looking over the dwelling, the grounds about
it, and the various objects of note by the way,
at dusk, perhaps. = - It isruneh sweeter at dusk.
The last sun-rays glimmer above the root and
gables, and walls and stacks, dark. and desolate
to the eye ; es it wanders towards the hill,
front whose tops they riee in castellated masses
against the blue sky, slowly fading, into twi
light. Beyond those blicktlooking Ironies is
the dreary, antiquated burg—Georgetown.
You heed. that ' but little, - however, for the
creek and the hill, and the deserted buildings
going to rot !lad ruin, ceparate yew- even
front the thought. of an ad, jacent-town , whilst
the wood in your , rear, from whoae shadowy
depths you have °meta, envelope yonrLmnind
in a mut of its ,own mystic witchery. You
staid one grassy amid a sward of blue
, grass, sprinkled , with elover blooms and ar
butus blossoms, which- stretches~ along the
water's edge from the old ruin, near the
bridge, to the mill, half a mile up, hid off in a
hase of fantastic light-reflected partly from
the flashing of the clear surface of the pond, I
partly from.the glittering of' the spray at the '
falls, and partly from the bright green of
the young apple trees, the whole against the
dark rend of a high declivity, capped by
the clustering cedars of the cemetery. Up and
down the , margin of the creek are growing I
troops of water-lilies and daisies, of varie
gated hue, white and blue and pink, opening
their tiny, eyes, and winking at the stars as the
dew falls on them. There are queer eddies
playing about their roots and branches,
which
sometimes venture far ontin the current. Now ' ,
1 and then a mercenary cauliflower, or a brave
little cowslip, raises up its head ; and then
you may spy how the willows are beginning to
grow into long switches to whip such unaris
tocratic intruders from the realms of their
more fashionable neighbors. But sometimes,
just as in the life of real people, the go-a-head
propensities of the flowers of. inferior caste
by the bold strength of muscle proclaim their
right to remain, and bave thus, in certain
' places, established independent colonies •of
their Jiwn, despite the pinks and lilies and
daisies and nuttereups; with their silly noses
turned up, and their foolish lips pouting. Ab,
ye wicked flowers ! How easy for a wisp of
the wind, or a wave from the water, to carry
you and all your tricksy splendor of to the
whirling cataract of the mill i Do you sup
pose
these idle sprites would hood, or eyen
hear, such an admonition Z lam half a mind
to believe they would. As • you look at them
sprinkled all over with dew they seem so
much alive, so thoughtful, so full of the fire
of poetry and eloquence, and- as cute as the'
weasel, whom nobody ever catches a-aleep, for
nobody ever was so fortunate as to come upon
a bud just , opening its eye ! At least as I
have been told, and certes I never was so
alert myself.
' The legends which hang, like the cob-webs
around the eves of the mill; the traditions
:which lurkin the ihadows, thielt with sprite.
whose long vistas are at length lost in the
depths of the grove; the stories which old
white-heads and gray-beards will tell you on
any sunshiny noonday along the coves of the
creek; .the antique songs you may now and
then hear from the old churchyard sexton in
the ravine; the buzzing of the active bees
among the wild flowers the listless humming
of the idle water-wheel, going to decay ; the
monotonous ditty of the frog, the chirping lay
of the kildeer, the remote falls, and, in these
warlike times, the distant
" Reaming wagon weeeis o'er the rugged road"—
In short, as you stand, in the dusky twilight,
just:.on-the skirt of the thorny boscage, near
the race; and are soothed into a half-conscious
dreant—a dream, perchance, of peace, of the
good old days of the Union and its, lories—
„your heart can not but fill up to the brim, and
this is why 1 maintain that, surrounded by
such scenes, these troops of yours, quartered
only Just over the hill, in the 'green grove, can
not help proving heroes, every one of them,
for the ghosts which haunt the place are, good
and Patriotic ghosts, which' need not fright
the peeing sentinel as he 'stalks his midnight
round. if ever the dead come back to life,
and the dieentombed souls of buried greatness
arisel - from the graves wherein their bones lie
whitening, there shalt steal *forth; from their
cerentents the spirits of that grand old preach

.titmed iien-linnoilif - otime after him—Barlow
and Decatur. ,Their mission on earth again
would be one of war, Clothed as in days gone
by, when they encouraged the legions of
Liberty on to the strife, they would deliver to
the soldiers of our day such a message from
the sages of the past, sleeping
_beneath the
willows that sing peace over Vernon and M'on
ticello, as would waken in each fellower of the
Stare and Stripes a heart as dauntless as the
.oi - enders of old. Asa TIVENCHARD.
John Forsyth Clamoring'for War.
line = Sohn Forsyth, the recent commissioner to
Washington, olamors fiercely for an invasion of
the North .- Ills paper, the Mobile Register, says:
The cry of the North hi for war ! War to cave
the Union, to defend the United States flag, 4 6 to
show that we have a Government." These are
the pretences of a sheer bypeorisy. They are the
patriotic gloss given to a false cause. The cement
that unites the North- is rage at the inevitable
miaobief that bas been•done to northern property
by the lota of.the trade and tribute of ten, per.
haps twelie, of.the richest and most productive
States of the late Union.
- -
If they is'ettt war, give it to them. to their heart's!
content--t o . the knife and the hilt. Give them
battle every morning and every evening whenever
we can marshal a force for the fight Nor should
we stop to receive it. It ought to be sought for
and invited. Nor wait to drive them from Con
federate soil, but force the war to their own hoe
dere. We hold that the enemy should be driven
from Washington—not because we want Washing
ton, but because it Is in a slave State, and be
cense our brethren inMaryland should be released
from the iron heel of military power that is upon
their necks Whose blood does not boil to read
of the proud men of Maryland overran and sob
dtatid - by the outoaete of Massachusetts, under the
lead of that scoundrel, General Butler, who played
his part In the political disturbances that were the
immediate cause of this revolution? Maryland
should be -freed at all hazards, and the enemy
driven beyond the Curquehanne
Defensive aggressions is the Southern policy in
this war. The surest and the safest way to defend
our homes is to meet the enemy at a distance from
them—to keep away the havoc and devastation of
conflict from our women and ohildron as far as
possible The North has undertaken to conquer
the South. We must make up our minds to ocn•
quer the North, at least so far as to dictate the
terms of peace. To this end, every man must de
vote himself to arms. Nothing else is of value,
nothing worthy to be thought of in comparison to
the sacred duty of defending the liberties of our
country in this atrocious war. We must become a
Oettorrof &tiding and every man ready to take the
field when called upon. An active and a despe-
rate war la always a short one We osnunt make
this-war too bloody or desperate.
The Church and -Sete.

'rian 'Church, in her past history, has frequently
lifted up her voice against oppression, has shown
herself a champion of constitutional liberty. as
against - both despotism and anarchy, throughout
the . Mantled 'world, we should be recreant to our
high trust were we to withhold our earnest protest
naiad all such Unlawful and treasonable acts.
2. Resolved, That this Assembly, and the
°hutches whihh- it represents, cherish an undi
miniehed attachment to the great principles of
;civil and religious freedom on which our National
Government DI based; under the influence of which
our fathers prayed and fought and bled; which
issued in the establishment of our independence,
and by the preservation of which we believe that
the common interests of evangelical religion and
doll liberty will be most effectively sustained.
3. Resolved, That, inasinuch s as we believe, ac
cording to cur forts of Government, that God,
the Supreme Lord and .King of all the world, bath
ordained civil magistrates to be under him, over
the people, for his own glory and the public good,
and to this end bath armed them with the power
of the sword for the defence and encouragement of
them that are good, and for the punishment of evil
doert,"—there is, in the judgment of the Assem
bly, no blood or treasure too precious to be devoted
to the defence and perpetuity of the Government
in all its constitutional authority.
4 Resolved, That all those who are endeavoring
to uphold the Constitution, and maintain the Go
vernment of these United States in the exercise of
its lawful prerogatives, are entitled to the sympa

pastors and churches to be instant and fervent in
prayer for the President of the United States, and
all in authority under him, that wisdom and
strength may be given them in the discharge of
their arduous duties; for the Congress of the
United States; for the Lieutenant General com
manding the Army-in-Chief, and all our soldiers,
that God may shield them from danger in the hour

upon the army and navy, renew and sanctify
them, eo that, whether living or dying, they may
be 'eremite of the Most 1116 h.
6. Resolved, That, in the countenance which
many ministers of the Gospel, and other professing
Chrigliane, are now giving to treason and rebellion
against the Government, we have great occasion
to mourn for the lejary thus done to the Kingdom
of the Redeemer; and that, though we have
nothing to add to our former significant and ex
pHs& testimonies on the subject of slavery, we
yet recommend our people to pray more fervently
than' ever for the removal of -this and all
others, both serial and political, which lie at the
foundation of our present national difficulties.
T. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions,
signed by the officers of the General Assembly, be
forwarded to his Bxcellenoy Abraham Lincoln,
-President of the United States.
The hour for adjournment had arrived, and the

COL. ELLSWORTII,
As his Friends' Knewltim.
BY JOBA • M. BAY.
Thera has not been an evening since nuarptsr
fell so full of life and hive, so redolent of the
eager whispers of the waiting crowd, as was last
Thursday evening. The town was murmurous
with flying rumors, all hopeful and promising:
General Scott was going to show Ids hand, and.
the dandies of the Seventh and the lambs of the
Vire Department were to have an opportunity to
wear or the duet of a month's idleness. " People
talked cheerfully of Alexandria and Arlington,
and invented model campaigns for the departing
regiments, with all the !mind ignorance and
illogical enterprice with which ()Wilians may war
like vatioination.
Bat on Friday morning the tone of feeling and
conversation was strangely. changed With the
earliest dawn a ghostly horror of floating surmise
clouded the town The rumor ran rapidly through
the usual gamut of shocked assertion, andreok
less contradiction, until dottbtwae hinted out
from every resting place, and we ell kenw that
t• 'Ellsworth was dead. -
When that was ascertained no one dared to ask
further qtteelions. The details of the aseaseina
tion, the projected defences, the march of the
regiments—which, at any other time, would have
furnished the most palatable food to the jaded
news-bunters at Willards'—were unnoted and die-
regarded. It seemed enough for one day that we
had coat the cheering presence of the brave young
colonel. It seamed impertinent to speak of other
things.
A sudden gloom fell on the city. A hundred
banners slipped sadly to half-mast. Men walked
quietly through the streets, forgetting their bust- _
pets. - Soldiers talked low and earsaatly, with•
crefailied hands.
Why wee this so? This public grief seemed to
scorn preoedense. He was not an old and honored
warrior, but a boy of twenty-four, who had never
soon a battle. The praise of the people naturally
follows wealth •, but Ellsworth had no fortune but
his sword, and his aged parents live in the quiet
seclusion of a country village in New York. It
was not the murmur that rises when a giant dies.
This young hero was only five feet six from spur to
fa
lame. Why should the people mourn for him?
No man ever possessed, in s more eminent degree,
•he power of personal fascination. That faculty 1
which, when exercised upon masses of men, ilal
leek styles " the Art Napoleon—of winning, fet
tering, moving, and commanding the souliof thou
sands till they move as one,", he enjoyed, in a
measure, of whioh the world will forever remain
e i
igoo nt. lie exercised an influence almost mes
m , upon bodies of organised individuals with
w he was brought in contest. I have seen him
enter an armory where a scare of awkward youths
were going sleepily through their manual, and his
first order, sharply and crisply given, would open
every aye and straighten every spine. No matter
how severe the drill, his men never thought of
fatigue. His own indomitable spirit sustained
them all.
lileeldes that, his personale was very prepossessing.
There was something cheery and hopeful about
the flash of his white teeth when he emiled, his
face was always alert and intelligent, and the ha.
neat and sincere good fellow looked serenely out of
his handsome eyes. His heavy black Curls never
looked affected or vain, They set off admirably
the firm and statuesque pose of the head. And bis
dress was always to keeping with the man we
knew.
Add to this his youth and fame. his patriotism,
which no rebuffs could daunt, hie energy. whiuh
people began to recognize, the work he had done,
and the work he was expected to do, and you have
some idea of the reasons that made people deplore
a victory that his sacrifice made a thousand times
worse than a defeat.
•
And the people for once are right. You shall
not find between the seas a man who can in all
things take hie pleas. In the hearts of his friends,
and in the ranks of his country's defenders, he has
left a void which is not to be filled.
Hie lite presents few salient points of renaike
or interest. Re was at. a very early age thrown
upon his own resoutces by the financial reverses
of his father (of whom in his stricken ago let a
generousi Republic be - not unmindful), and - his
whole career from
_boyhood to his deeth . is a touch
ing drama of struggle with eironmstancee, always
strenuous and severe, but always self-reliant - and
stout-hearted. Very dark would have been the
passage through some sconce of his life in Chicago,
had_it not been lit with , a healthy good humor
that nothing could repress, an energy that mis
fortune was powerless to daunt, And a dentine
honor that freed 'him from even the temptation to
wrong. In write of mean lodgings and-Want, WO
the great soul kept a firm foot-hold in the muscu
lar body, and outside of the daily toil and priva
tion, the young student revelled in snidest realm,
not of selfish indulgence or sordid fame, but of nee
and beneficence to his fellow-men. - This aim and
purpose did not exhamt itself in dreams. He
worked steadily towards its realization,
The first fruit of his efforts was the perfection
training of the Chicago Zonings. The vast flatter
of interest and gale of applause that their 'chal
lenge trip ocoasioned, though - the great military
sensation of the age, wan utterly-unworthy- of the
'subject, as it failed to distinguieh the-real spirit of,
Ellsworth's work. While it dwelt on, the afitility'
and unerring preolaion with Which - theta scarlet
performed choir gimnastio lesson, they.
left out of view the entire diseiplise-L-the identif
cation of spirit of commander and mort—tb• ens
mu& that, derived from their idolized leader, in.
spired these slight young men and annihilated
their susaeptibility to hunger . and fatigue:: Was it
not also a great triumph for this water-drinking '
Colonel to abolish, by the force of his own iron will,
a practice against which the anti-alcoholic forces,
under. a thousand aliases, have waned for jean
in vain?
I know the trial excursion of the Zonave Cadets
was not undertaken from any motives of display, ,
but, by the force of contrast, to demonstrate the
fact, in a way that pe . onle could - andantes/d e that
our ordinary militia is a very unwieldy end•nate.;
less affair, and cannot be made serviceable except,
by a vast expeaditure, and endless announce and
delay. And although in the last six weeks the
people lie's wonderfully seconded the efforts of the
Government, a candid review of 'their operationa l
from the proclamation until - to. day, _lfni convince
any one of the.necesaity of a thorough reoonetrao
tion of the militia laws of most of the States, and
such a reorganisation of the esitisen soldiery as will
nourish a more decided military spirit, and eats,-
blish a higher standard of discipline.
To a great extent, that trip was a great stemmas.
In its wake sprang up hundreds of new military
companies, like phosphorescent sparks in the track
of a ship. Several States reconstructed their
ljtia laws, end a general military revival was per
ceptible throughout the land. ft had an afoot,
also, in disseminating some sensible ideas In regard
to uniform. Inside of oho --flashy • aburdities of
crimson and gold, for which it was responsible,
there was a;germ of ;sound judgment in the easy,
careless flow of the Zoliave castunie, which hardly
touches the wearer. -
Elieworth went back to Chicago, for his brief
hour, the moat talked-of man in the country. H.
quietly organised a skeleton:regiment of his own,
and made his best men the Myers of it, $9
offered this to the Governor of and to the
President, " for any servioe consistent with honor."
This was the first offer of an &ganised force to
sustain the Constitution and the -- laws. With
soldierly instinct he foruaw the inevitable strug
gle, and predicted: the very manner of is begin
.
rung.
Leaving Chicago, he came to Springfield in the
midst of the most exciting oampsign known to
political history. It was not passible for .11llsworth
to be neutral in anything, or idle while others
wore workiog. With -the whole anew. of Ma
nature he entered into the struggle. 8., bseame

crowd. Besides, it was very novel and .delightful
to imp a soldier_who could talk. , •

the hope of being planed in a position where he
could be of service in this way, he accepted Mr.
Lincoln's invitation and joined the Presidential
travelling party. He soon became indispensable.
NO one could manage like him the assemblages of
turbulent loyalty that crowded and jostled at
,very station.
.t Washington, he was '"placed in a false posi
tion. He never wished office for its honor or its
prolit, - but you never oan get oinoe-seekers or office

MN of honor felt a stain like a wound, and the
amiable gentlemen of the press never can with

failing.

society of those he trusted most, end by the unvary

his family. But Sumpter fell, and the gale of.

scattered away the cobwebs of political "chicane,

it was whether Chicago or New York should have

The Last Night of Colonel Ellswoirth.
(From the Washingt o
orkW n Cororld.)respondense the New
He was everywhere. Full of life and animation,
moving like a hero in the oamp. Now in his tent
conversing with hie officers; now dashing across
the vamp to oommunicate with some of the lower
officers of the companies ; now ordering a company
into line and inspecting them; tow out upon the
bluff; looking earnestly torus the waters to the
navy yard, or down toward Alexandria, to catch a
glimpse of aty signal which might be made, or
any indication of movement; then back to his
tent, to confer again with his staff. From the hour
when 1 entered the camp I did not see him at rut
but once. He then sat in his tent, surrounded by
his officers, fall of humor and wit, and in most ex
ultant spirits I have not time, though I should
delight to do it, to record many little interesting
incidents of the night.
Someone inquired, after a pause, 4, Colonel, are
we to be quartered in Alexandria to morrow ?"
" No," was the prompt reply. t. Quartered? no ;
you wouldn't think of being quartered, I hope,
while you had a thing like that atyonr command,"
(pointing to his sword, by his side.) The catch
upon the word was quickly observed, and occa
sioned considerable merriment.
In all he said, his language was choice, his
voice full and deep, and his manner open and
manly. I little dreamed then that before sunrise
I should stand beside his corpse, or that that proud
and noble soldier would be murdered in cold blood
by one of the secession bloodhounds. I have oer•
tainly never seen him in better spirits than last
night 0, how the fairest and the bravest are the

EDITORS EVENING JounNAL—GUNTLIDIZEI : Oar
attention has been called to an ankle in one of the
Sunday papers, in which a copy of vat bill of
goods told to this State is printed. The error in
the bill is simply the error of the reporter, wbo
put the price of 6.4 twilled Indigo blue blouse
flannels at 91 cents, instead of 93 cents. Had the
ieliecin known anything of the value of merchand
ise, •he would not have confounded ibis article
with a Canton flannel, worth but one•tenth the
photo.
The article we sold the State was manufaehired
by Samuel Bancroft, to fi ll a contract with Colonel
Thomas, Assistant Quartermaster, 'United States
Army, and the price paid under that contract was
93 cents
We charged the State precisely the same prise
the General Government paid, and we have cold
the same article for no more or no less for the past
two years.
No agent of the State, or any other person, has
received, or will receive, from us any commission,
and we are not even acquainted with the Governor
or Quartermaster Hale._
Mr. Bancroft has received from us the amount of
the bill, less our commission of five percent.
