Holt, of Kentucky, Jpr%di£aced &f a pub

Charleston, South Carolina, on the evening
Of the Sdf when'the oiti flag was raised by
General Anderson over Port Sumpter, he
made the* following allusion to a sopne
Which took place in Mr. Buchahah’s Ca
binet, at the close of the last Admlnistra-
Won, and .incidentally paid a just .compli
ment to < Hr. Btanton, the present Secre

the blunders of tils olass which have oooarred, pro--
bftblv the most complete, the most disastrous for,the
nlaus cf him who made It, was that committed by
the traitor Floyd when he selected, then Major, now
Major Genera), Anderson-to command the forts or,
O bar lest on liarbcr. This was the mdrereuiarlcabla.
Since Floyd rarely mistook his men, asia sufidolcntly
ShDtru by his assignment of Twiggs to the Depart
ment of Texas, and 'by other appointments and ad
justments of the military BBryloe looking to a lubri
cation of the machinery of the rebellion, on which I
will not panes to comment. Great . too, have been the
Surprise and terror of these wicked rulers when they
have found their trusted instruments failing In their
hands; but perhaps low er these exhibitions have b
equalled that whloli was witnessed at Washington ‘
When the unfaltering fidelity of Major Anderson and
his little command was first fully manifested. When
Intelligence reached the capital that by a bold and
dexterouß movement this command had been traus- .
ferred from Moultrie to Sumpter, and was safe from
the disabled gnns left behind, the emotions of Floyd
were absolutely uncontrollable-amotions of min-.,
gled mortification and anguish, ana rage and pablo.
His fury seemed that of some baffled fiend, who dis
covers suddenly opening at his own feet the gulf
of min which he had been preparing for another.
Over aU the details of this passionate outburst of a
conspirator, oanght and entangled In his own tolls, -
the veil of offlotal secrecy still hangs,-and It may be
that history will never be privileged to tranfer this
memorable soene to its pages. There is one, how
ever, whose abeenoe to day we have all deplored;
and to whom the’nation is grateful for the masterly
ability and Uon-llke courage with which he has
fought this rebellion in all the vicissitudes of lt3
career—your Secretary of War—who, were ho here,
could bear testimony to the truthfulness of my
words. He looked upon that soene, and, the conn,
try needs not now to be told that he looked npon It
with soorn and defiance.”
No public man since tho outbreak of tie
rebellion has been more reticent than Mr.
Holt. He seems to have been content
with discharging the responsible and trying _
duties of Judge Advocate General, without
taking part in merely political controver
sies, and although frequently solicited to
speak to the people, and gifted with the
rarest eloquence and intellectual resources,
he has steadily refrained. Hence, when
such a man goes out of his way to
speak on great issues, his counsels are
well worth reading and remembering, and
hence, too, when he uses the lan
guage of eulogy, it. may be regarded
as deservedly bestowed. His reference to
Secretary- Stanton is all the more just,
in view of a recent incident. We refer to
the' prompt maimer in which, when the
Unfortunate negotiations between Sher
man and Johnston were laid before the
people, Mr. Stanton presented in brief
terms the simplest and strongest replies
that could he made to them. The nine
propositions exposing the seven condi
tions of so-called “basis of peace”—
terse, strong, and well-considered—have
furnished arguments to- all men, and were
particularly valuable coming at a time
when' the whole country was .astounded
by the extraordinary annouheement that
General Sherman was willing to give more
to the rebels than they, themselves had
asked, and almost to conclude a peace with
out first consulting his Government. Had
not Secretary Stanton published this in
formation, we Bhould have had the disloyal
men justifying the understanding between
Shebman and Johnston, and thus a party
would have been raised which it would
have been necessary to contend with and
difficult to put down. It is to the charac
teristic promptitude, energy, courage, and
high-sonled patriotism of Secretary Stan
ton that we aire indebted for this, as we
have been for many other exhibitions of de
votion to his country. .
' ' A Happy Retired Statesman. :
*b-the GazeU&pf the 14th of April, a so
called Democratic newspaper, published
_2J®rtjtaa,Jedford .county, in tjiis State,
g passage. * It has a
look at the present time,
a somewhat suggestive sup
_ *i£nt to the mournful history written in
blood by the assassin,' and read in tears by
a horror-stricken people:
Ah Ihtbkvizw with Ex-Phbsideht Buchaw
ah.—O. Utaimoey Barr, Esq., editor of too Old
Guard, tints describes an interview reoently had by
him with ex-President Buchanan:
“We lately had the pleasure of spending a por
tion of an afternoon with the venerable; ex-Presi
dent, Janes Bnohanan, at his home at Wheatland.
At the age of seventy-four years, he Is In the
meet of good health, with his faculties aoai(Ksa,
and'his spirit apparently as fresh andAriyoua as
when we itrst saw nun, the night baasro-ho sailed
- for England ss.mlnlater to theOrffFiol St. James, '
twelve years ago. WrfSSswT met no man that
evlnoes a profonqAjkiijiftßfeat In the affairs of our
country thanrfSjflggfian, and none who is so per
fectly the political movements of the
the local polities of the- various States
to lie, as In charts, before his rolod. To those
■" who are despondent of the ultimate redemption of
cur doontry from the Abolition spoilers, a visit to
‘Wheatland’will prove a great relief. Mr. Buchan
an entertains no doubts of the final triumph of the
Democracy, and of the consequent salvation of onr
country: and he gives snoh reasons for his faith as
will go far to remove the doubts of the most de
sponding. For our own part, we have never feared
lor tie ultimate triumph of truth and llberiy, nor
doubted the overthrow and punishment of Lincoln and
the partisans in hie despotism. But we know of many
who do doubt—a-vlelt to Wheatland would go far to
them. Mr. Buchanan has prepared a docu
mentary history of the Jatter part of his Adminis
tration, which wIU bo published the com&g sum
mer. It will thoroui hly explt de the whole arsenal -
' of ties which has supplied powder for the Bepubli
odn party forfoar years, by the publication of doou-
Uents, figures, and facts which will not, and cannot,
he disputed. Suoh a history is most timely. It will
do much to unmask the hypocrisy and crime of the
despots in power, and to save our country.”
The Mr. Bubk who so ecstatically de
scribes his visit to sage of Wheatland
is a personage not unknown in Philadel
phia, having borne here and' elsewhere,
within the last twenty years, the some
what antagonistic characters of clergyman,
clairvoyant, lecturer, and secession poli
tician. It is refreshing to know that at
the' time he saw Jambs Buchanan the.
latter was in joyous spirits, “in good
health,” and “entertained no. doubt of
the' final triumph of the Democracy,
and. of the consequent salvation of the
country.” We can fancy the merry
twinkle of the blue eye of the ex-Fre
sident at the pleasant prospect, especially
in the Southern country—the glowing le
gacy, as it were, of his own sincere and
successful labors in the Presidential chair.
"While othera were 'fighting, dying, and
- toiling to staunch the bleeding wounds of
the Republic, to save the loyal States from
invasion and massacre, to ward off foreign
• - complications, and to bring back the Union
to Its pristine purity, the ex-President, in
his calm, easy, and undisturbed retreat,
was writing a book to expose the Republi
can phrty and to prepare the way for “ the
final triumph of the Democracy.” Should
‘ex-President Jefferson Davis escape to
some foreign country, he, probably, with
equal equanimity, and with the same ma
terial, documents, and witnesses, will also
be able to predict the “final triumph of the
Democracy and the consequent salvation
of our ceTuhtry.”
The first public meeting to promote the
abolition of Slavery in the Spanish Colo
nies was.held on Sunday, the 2d instant, in
the Academy of Jurisprudence at Madrid.
It had been called by.tbe recently esta
blished Spanish Abolitionist Society, and
was presided over by Don Antonio Maria
Segovia, a member of the Lower Chamber
of the Cortes. The meeting is reported to
have been most crowded and enthusiastic,
and resolutions were unanimously adopted
approving the establishment of the Society,
and nominating as its President one of the
most influential leaders of the Progrelsiata
party—Don Bawjstiano Olozaga. ‘Five
Vice-Presidents of high social standing
were elected, with a large and influen
tial -Committee and the majority of
the noblemen and gentlemen present
inscribed their names as members of
the new Society. Thus, the desire to abo
lish Slavery, which we have rid ourselves
of by a cruel war that only approximates
to,-its termination after a fierce and deso
lating struggle of four y ears .
planted Its foot upon the nation which first
imposed its black, and bitter ourae "J? 0 ®
the Empire it first created in the West.
The cause of Puman freedom,
distinction .of. rdce or color, is asserting it-,
self everywhere—even in that
whose-children first blighted the growth of
the younger and western world by infusing
into its national life the poisonqpajtaint
and corruption of modern Slavery.

occur while his son is yet too young to

(Jebomb) might be tempted to try and
take the reins of empire into his own hands.
His mother is very popular, however, and
if appointed Regent would probably suc
ceed in governing France with satisfaction
and success during her son’s minority.
Exercising that sagacious prevision which
is one of his leading characteristics, Napo
leon has determined, it is said, to devote.
a considerable portion of the next three or
four years to visiting the principal cities
and towns of France, accompanied by his
son, with the object of presenting the child
to the inhabitants, with a view to engage
their personal interest in himself and his for
tunes. The first of these tours is to be made,
we hear, in the departthents of the South—
where; in September and October, 1852,
Napoleon himself, then Prince President
of the revived French republic, was first
hailed by the population as Emperor.
This year, should Napoleon carry out his
intention of visiting Algeria, the tour with
his eon. can hardly take place before the ;
autumn, by far the most delightful Beasoa
in the South of France. The general idea
is good, worthy of its author’s politic mind.
Is it necessary to repeat that the statement,
lately made with remarkable particularity
of detail by the Paris correspondent of a
New York journal, to the effect that the
little Prince Imperial was immediately
coming over, in great state with an impe
rial cortege, to make a tour through the
United States, isnothing less than an un
mitigatedewnard, which does not have even
a truth-like aspect ? ,
House-Relit.
At New-York, thanks to the benign in
fluences'of returning peace, prices already
have fallen considerably—not only the cost
of living and price of clothes, but also
house-rents. The leading hotels there have
taken one dollar a day off their charge for
board.’ We soon must follow suit in this
city,'and the public will: be highly gratified
when this is done. Food, clothing, and
habitation are the foremost
human life, ai
the?” “
faremost reluctantly submitted to.
The fall of house-rent, which has com
menced in New York, will be unsatisfac
tory, no doubt, to the persons who specu
lated, with more boldness than forethought,
upon the maintenance of war-rates, in the
facO of evidently approaching peace, i It
was .evident, when Savannah became re
stored to us, that what TaijL*ybakd called.
the-beginning of the end was within vie w.
The occupation of Charleston and the cap
ture of Wilmington were further steps
towards the great consummation. Yet, in
most,- if not all of our great cities, house
owners, non-observant of the signs of the
times above-mentioned, persisted in advanc
ing rents, and, especially, in
when the period approached for that change
of residence which appears a Gothamite epi
demic, the advance. in price rose still
higher,—the unhappy public, in despair,
finally, of obtaining houses at all, consent
ing to pay almost any rent that was asked.
They would most gladly uot have moved,
on the coming First of May, had they been
allowed to remain where they ; were, but
house-owners, inexorable, noticed them of
such terrific advances in house-rent, that,
they could not afford to stay. All that
they could do was to move into humbler
habitations, for which they must pay con
siderably more than they used to disburse
for superior residences. .
Additional to this evil was “ a plentiful
scarcity” of dwelling houses. One result
of the war, inevitable but natural, i was
the increase of general and local taxation,
whereby real property was considerably
affected. Thence ensued the general desire
to part with real estate, which has caused
•the notice “To be Sold,” to appear on
about one house in every fifty in our
great cities and large towns. Money being
plenty during the war, and real property ■
being still considered a safe investment,
there was a general exchange of that
property for money. Houses brought
higher prices, of course, because every
thing else was dearer, and house-owners
had to raise their rents. They did so, and
the competition fosr dwellings kept the
priceß up. In Philadelphia the advance
hak been 'considerable, no doubt, but it is
much smaller than in New York. Peace
restored, and taxation put upon a better
basis than it now rests on, local and gene
ral taxes, which directly and indirectly
affect real property, will certainly not he
increased, will most probably be dimi
nished. In the face of this, any further
advance in house-rent ought to be wholly
oat of the question, and, indeed, a reduc
tion must generally he looked for.
During the last three months —actually
from the time when the re-occupation of
Savannah gave promise of an early termi
nation of the war—the purchase of house
property has greatly been checked in
our cities. Owners may have conti
nued to part with their houses, hut pur
chasers have become scarce, holding
back, under the impression, very general,
that with peace would come a return
to moderate prices and reasonable rents.
In a little time, we are sure, this return
will be general, and, so convinced, we
earnestly recommend persons who have
houses to let or who want to rent houses,
that the rates which have'prevailed, with
gradual increase, during the last four years,
cannot be continued. At the same time,
we are not willing to blame landlords for
getting as much as they could, When the
market price'was high they were entitled

There has Seen, a_grfeat deal of house/
purchasing, but the reaction will throw a
great number of houses back into the mar

cannot afford to hold jon to what they
bought. Even those who-' can and do
must expect rents t <f com«Tdown. Peace
will have another effect upon«*Ms jort of
property. There afe numerous Southern

“ treason . most foul ” had exiled. them.
Yheir departure from the great cities will’
leave numerous houses untenanted, and
the supply thus ttaown into the market
must diminisli rents. 1
If we might take the liberty of giving
advice to hbuse-o wners and to tenants, it
would simply-be, -that the former, accept
ing the necessity Of‘the situation, shall be
prepared to spbinit to fair reduction of rent,
and the latter, who have received notice to
qiflttor payfadyanced rent, shall wait for a
very short-time, when there will be a gene
ral reduction every where. ‘
It has been unanimously resolved, at a
crowded meeting of the citiaens of Carroll
county, Maryland, after resolutions of con
dolence with the- family of Mr. Lincoln
and of confidence in President Johnson
had been adopted, that the young men of
the county who went South at the begin
ning of the rebellion, and had cast theifi
lot with it, should not he tolerated in the
county again. This resolution is essen

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
(From the Washington Chronicle of yesterday.]
If Secession makes men rebels to their
country, it is also a sure way to prepare
them for Deism. The practice of offering
prayers to the Almighty for the success of
a cause founded entirely in a compound of
the most odious.sins, is a hideous mockery;
and! was .hot surprised, while recently,at
Richmond; that the wrath of God seemed
to have been specially visited upon the
temples in which false priests had attempt
ed to propitiate the favor of a Providence
they had so long provoked. A. violent
Northern echo of these wretched traitors,
resident in an adjacent State, openly: de
clared, a few days ago, that he had lost
all faith in a Supreme-Being. Now this
was a close and logical reasoner. The
manifestations are all against his cause, and
they are so marked as to produce startling
effects. Let any one who has needed visible
tokens, instead of the teachings of nature
and the Gospel, to fix his belief in a hea
venly power, study 'the comse of events
from the beginning of the war, and he
satisfied. It is as clearly written as Revela
tion, that when the rebellion commenced,
He decreed that it should be thoroughly
crushed, tom up by the roots, and scattered
to, the winds. We were not to he made
giddy by easy and early victories. Un
speakably vile as the rebels prove them
selves to be, cruel as vile, they were even
allowed to win many advantages to at
tract foreign support, and to send many
• precious souls to their long account. But
we did not know, in the midst of our
harder sufferings and grief, that we were
only being steeled for harder and heavier
tasks, disciplined, in fact, for war bn an
extended scale, and made ready for
the most sweeping victories ever re
corded. Was it Ohanbe that we - should
have defeated the slaveholders at Gettys--
burg and Yicksburg, on the Fourth of July
—the great anniversary of Freedom—the
same day that saw Thomas Jefferson, John
Adams, and James Monroe, called to the
mansions of the blessed ? Was it Chance
that the 19th of April should be the same
day of the month that .saw the first blood
of the Revolution against Great Britain
shed at Lexington, and the same that saw
the first martyr fall in the present rebellion
' against liberty in Baltimore ? , Was it
Chance that Good Friday, when the Saviour
of Man was crucified on Calvary, according
to the annals ofthe Christian Churchy
should be marked ly the raising .of
flag on the walls of recoverecLjjtfmpter,
and by the assassination Lin
coln? Let those who dojjSt and sneer at
these signs read says when
him from re
friendly yet fatal match with Laertes, and
make the application:
tve charges, raising
«We defy angnry j there is ,a special providence
In the fall of a sparrow. If It be now, ’Us not to
oome; If It be not to come, 'it will be now; If It be
not now, yet it-will come. Thtt teadinett is ail.”
It was a special providence that led Sher
man along fruitful fields in his.march from
Savannah to Goldsboro! 'lf ever, ]to
use great Frederick’s, phrase, an army
“ crawled on its belly,” or walked on well
fed legs, it was his column so bounteously
provisioned from nature’s own commis
sariat. It was “ a special providence.” that
permitted Faxragut to heat down stone
ramparts with his wooden walls, when he
attacked and captured the rebel fort and laid
New Orleans under successful siege! But
not to multiply cases, who cannot see the
Almighty hand in the death of Abraham
Lincoln? He had passed through four
years of threats and conspiracies unharm
ed. He was inaugurated in a community
in which Secession had crowds of followers.
He walked and he rode alone at all hours,
in town and country. He' visited the sick,
the wounded,'the army, the navy, un
guarded, and almost unaccompanied save
by his wife or little son. He frequently left,
his guards behind him. as he drove ,to the
Soldiefs’ Home. He travelled on cars and
steamboats to Baltimore and Philadelphia;
and fearlessly threw himself among strange
crowds. He spoke at night to immense
masses, exposing his person to the deadly
aim of the assassin. He visited churches,-
concerts, theatres, lectures, like the hum
blest citizen. He went to Petersburg
and Piqhmond after their surrender, :rode
over the surrounding fortifications, walked
the streets, with every house filled with
enemies, and yet no hand was raised
to harm a hair of his head. Struck down
in the hour of victory won by his policy,
tod under his personal observation, he was
cailed at the very 'moment when he was
himself most happy and most belied. Is
this not God’s work ? It is true he fell by
the red-handed assassin; but those who cru
cified Christ did not hide his glorious exam
ple, or make him less potent as the Sa
viour of Man, because they were assassins.
And in the mapner of Lincoln’s death we
read a lesson only surpassed by that spoken
from the holy cross— a lesson that teaches
that the good work must go on, the rebel
lion must be crushed, and the hands of
Government strengthened, until not a
vestige of slavery or disobedience shall
be left in all the land. And I am
as firm in the belief that there is .“a
special providence” in the attempted “ ba
sis of peace” agreed upon by Bherman and
the rebel General. This most unwarranta
ble arrangement was made in the belief
that President Lincoln would sustain it;
for it would be an unkind assumption to
suppose that it was made in the know
ledge of his murder. That he would have
indignantly rejected it his orders to Grant
sufficiently attest, and if from his honored
dust a voice could speak, it would pro
nounce the same stem judgment upon that
most calamitous convention that has been
spoken by Andrew Johnson. But now
that Lincoln is summoned from this trou
bled drama, the very manner of his death
makes more eloquent lessons of his life,
showing that there can be no more cle
mency to traitors, and that the leaders
who rejected his offers of peace, running
through months of victory to our arms,
must submit to the rightful authority of the
Government, on abide the consequences.
This is niJ; only now the stern decree of
the people, but it seems to me the no less
imperative judgment of God. J. W. F,

LETTER FROM “ OCCASIONAL.” •
Washington, April 25, 1865.
The boast of the Southern disunionists, of
being “the chivalry" oPthe country, was
put to a test when they entered upon
the bad business of the rebellion. It dil
not survive—save only tp be contemptuous
ly rejected and exposed—one year of the..
W.ar. -It is a very easy thing to say ,“,I am ‘ : '
-a gentleman,’-’ but it is a very different
matter’ter establish the claim. A gentleman 1 "
does not- lie, steal, or break his oath,,
much less take' arms against his friekd,-
or, what -is worse, against "’his m-’,
nefactor. So. that, when “tke • chi-,I
valry" ‘ deliberately ¥ Committed these
things, they- lost-all" title to* respect, and*'
.becamea set) of’ detested; Hobert -Macaijre|i;
or dilapidated* roues ; the more disrepute-*.
ble because, in .the midst of their shame,
they retained the manner of their -
‘better' days. Excepting the' and’
moral vices bred of slavery and slcjth,*
nothing has done so much to infatuate the' •
weak heads of the Southern people as this
miserable social disease, that they are “the
chivalry,” and superiqj to th,e Northern:
people. But now that the effort ■to
destroy the Government has fail®, .the
.sensible men of must ire;;
alize and act upon the idea that
the day of the slayeholding “chivalry”
has gone forever. We are not surprised,
therefore, to hear that many o.f this class
admit what they cannot prevent and’ will
. not deny. The murder of Mr. liindold hasf.
.given to all such men a good opportunity;
to show their abhorrence of a crime top ;
much in consonance with the early teach
ings of the old Secession leaders, and no
doubt justified by the wretched assassin; on.
the ground that he was one of “ the chival
ry.” Indeed, all that we hear of this blood
thirsty savage proves that he acted under
the impulse that he was vindicating the fame*
of a superior class of beings. Just so may.
others be incited to deeds of carnage and
of death. It should be the duty of every (
true patriot to spurn this foul and mon
strous pretension; to make it as infamous
as the treason iV has* justified, and the Sa '
tanic atrocities it has provoked. And espe
cially should this spirit be called out
against those who are reckless- enough to
rejoice over the assassination of Mr. Lin
coln. That there are such is unhappily;
too true to ,be doubted. Most of them do.
not rejoice openly at that infernal crime,
but' they show their feelings by other
unmistakable manifestations. These are all
of the so-called “ chivalryare composed
either of Northern politicians who have
married into the families of rich slavehold
ers, and live upon the money got from the
foul traffic in slaves or slave labor, or
Southern idlers who reside in the great
cities of the free States, and spend the
wealth similarly acquired in the indul
gence of the moat luxurious tastes, and in
sending secret subsidies to the armed trai
tors ; or, finally, persons who call them
selveg “refugees," and claim the benefit of,
a protection they constantly abuse. -Sonia
of these latter coolly take an oath, and
" then as coolly break it. There are excep
tions, of course; but the most-heartless,
active, and insidious of these sympathisers
with treason, and the men who, in their
hearts, exult in the foul murder of I our.
Good President, are the constant eulo
gists of the “chivalry” of the-South,*and
the beneficiaries of the traffic' in human
flesh and blood. Occasional.

give no dates.
The Atlanta papers know of the assassination of

received here this morning of the destruction by fire
of the schooner Ocean Herald, loaded with forage
while anchored off the month or the' Warwiok river,

was set on fireby some of the paroled prisoners of

Large numbers of these prisoners, unable to go

oalllng attention to the.disturbed condition of labor
In tliat State, and urging him to oali tbe Logtsla

free,and the masters can no longer depend on their
labor, and points oat tho evils that mast arise from
the present half slave and half free condition of the
State. He claims that the passage of the amend
ment would quiet the minds of the negroes, and
cause them to remain at home mid till the soil, now
so much in need of their labor. More than twenty
thousand of the most valuable slaves have already
gone Into the army; so that-Kentuoky must choose
either to haVe her slave population absoond and
freed by the army, or to save her labor to the soil
bygranting unconditional freedom to the slaves at

The Governor replies, concurring In the opinion
that slavery can no longer bo retained In Kontucky;
that labor must Be reorganized on a free basis, and
stys the war has exterminated slavery and revolu
tionized the public mind in regard to it. Slavery
belflg ended in the rebellious States, the Governor
thinks it should be ended In Kentucky by the most
desirable and speedy means, and regards tha con

Nbw Yobk, April 25, 1866,
Never before has such a cloud of heavy and fear
ful gloom settled upon this city. The national
heart, which has pulsated so sadly during the last
•Tearful week, Is still suffering as keenly and vividly
as It did in the first moments that the atroolous
blow widowed it of its just and honest, kindly and
Christian, ruler. Our melancholy, as evinced In the
wealth of honors paid to his departed rorm,oom
menoed yesterday. It seemed as if a pall had fallen
upon the throbbing vitality, and gehbrally, per
haps, too feverish life of all who dwell within
the boundaries of the Island. Every store, of
oouree, was closed. The wealthy merchant, the
active politician, the preacher of the Gospel of
Christ, the lady of fashion, and the Irish ser
vant girl, he who had hied for the pre
servation of the Union bequeathed to us by our
fathers, as well as the. man who had given from his
millions to support the Government—nay, those
wJho had but a few weeks since derided the claims
of the first martyr to the Constitution to our love
and veneration, thronged in the streets, oppressed
bv the vast sense of their awful bereavement. The
badges of mourning, the half-mast banners, 1 the
gloom upon every race, and the booming of the
minute guns, on Monday morning testified to the
Intecdepression wfrlob had seized upontb.9 hearts

BBFtTTATIOH FBOSt JXRSBY CITY.
• At ten o’eidolE yesterday the' funeral cortege
ent&*4 r '‘tJi«? Jersey City ferry-boat, filied : with
the aldefnien and' Common Counoll of- New York
olty, and those who had 1 to-take an Immediate
part in the grave- and melancholy ceremonial.
MajorijGonerala Dixahd Sandford, who attended
the bo3y of one whom they had personally so well
known, impressed by their sad gravity even the.
most soulless individual who might perohanco have
been inclined to throw aside his share in the gene
ral gloom. The orowd who bad /surrounded the
Jersey Olty depot; as well as those who had been
admitted to the Interior, Wore almost all bare
headed and mute as the beloved oorpae was borne
on board the boat, and tears might haVe been seen
rolling down the cheeks of stalwart and bbarded
men, while women sobbed with the bitter sense that
they had lost one who had been most-emphatically
the nation’s Father. -
The Bteamer was draped with mourning. Some
four years since on that steamer ho had orossad the
Hudson from New York on his way to assume the
charge of that Government from which he had been
divorced by the cowardly hand of a black-hearted
assassin. Now he. returned across the same waves—
still, cold, and dead—no longer alive to the venera
tion which had been gradually aooorded Mm for the
Clean and spotless manner in which he had admin
istered that Government wMch had been awarded
him. As tbe boat drew near the ferryshousa on this
Bide of the river, the tong upon tens of thousands who
lined the wharves and filled the windows of the
houses whioh were draped In the paraphernalia of
mourning, were visible, all alike Impressed with
the solemnity of tbe soene they witnessed.
THB FIBST HBABSB.
The hearse upon whioh the ooffln was carried
wss fine, but eannot compare to that which will
be used to-day. It was mostly of glass, and from
the top waved four .magnificent black plumes.
It wss drawn by six horses, each .led by a groom.
The 7th New York Regimentnoted as the gu%rd or
honor. When the cortege reached the large main
entrance of City Hall It halted, and the coffin was
borne upon the shoulders of soldiers and plaoed
upon the catafalque creoted inside, a band playing
the while a dead march. At this moment thousands
of voices struck up a mournful dirge, which created
a solemnity which can only ho imagined.
THE UfPATDSBOX 07 THIS CBOWD,
At the conclusion, large numbers rushed forward
and attempted to force their way up the steps of the
esplanade, but were compelled to recede by the
guard. The Swngerbund apd other German sing
ing societies had taken their position upon the es.
pl&nade, and, standing on cither-side, formed a pas
sage-way through which the body was slowly car
ried. The surviving soldiers of the war of ISI2 were
placed near the railing, and, as the party passed,
-respectfully removed their hats. Those who wen
the fortunate possessors of the tickets issued by the
-Common Connell ibr the private view entered as a
small gate on the western side of the Park,. Soon,
the line was formed, andas far down as Pearl Btreet
lt was donblo—not exactly double, for there can be
no conception formed of the many who attempted
to place themselves in regular order. Muchspeeu
lation was oarried on in regard to places in the line,
stands were sold at Incredible prices, all seeming
determined that they would not lose, on any as
count, the chance of obtaining the means of seeing
the sacred remains.
TH2 BBKAIHB AT CITY HALL.
The ccflln was received at the east basement en
trance by a deputation of tbe Common Council,
slowly carried up the winding stairway and de
posited beneath the dome of the rotunda, which was
with black, its pilasters entwined with
serge. It was laid on the velvet-covered dais of the
catafalque, which stood at the .top of the double
spiral staircase, on the lauding leading to a wide
hall running east and west. Directly opposite tne
landing is the Governor’s room. The wide folding
doors of this room were open, and an extension
was built across the hall. In the front of this
small room, which was about fifteen feet square,
with a domed’ roof, studded with stars and deeply
draped, was the catafalque—a beautiful shrine for
the dead. Square In form, It was surmounted by a
towering GotMc arch, from which the black silk
velvet fell in graceful festoons, partially obscuring
the black pillars of the canopy. To the velvet
was appended heavy’ silver fringe. Silver oords
and tassels looped back the hangings, and
completed the ornaments of the canopy. On
its summit was perched a spread eagle- of
shining gilt,bits wings partially elevated. Be
neath it was a draped bust of the dead Presi
dent. The Inner sides of the festoons of velvet wore
lined with white silk, and the ceiling was radiant
with the same material, gracefully fluted and plait
ed, and full of: beautiful silver stars In a firmament
of filagree lace. The ooßn, as we have said, was
laid on a dais, presenting the figure of au inclined
plane, the sloped end to the west. The people,
mounting the western stairway, were thus en
abled to see the dead, and have him In view
until they had passed the head of the coflu and
reached the head of the eastern staircase, down
which, they descended. On each Bide of the head cf
the coffin were a pair of Boman urns, in memory of
the ancient rites which always placed them thus, a 8
they were soon to receive distinguished dost.
Banged on a line with these were the 'busts of
Washington, Jackson, Webster, and Olay, all oh
high pedestals. The dead was now In funereal state
—nothing remained now but a few preparations,
when the door* could be thrown open and the people.
admitted. The lid was to be removed from the
ccfiiD, the body prepared, a photograph to be taken,
and the. draper; adjusted. - The removal of the
cover that hid the genial face from sight was the
.first In order. While It was being done, the tones
of the dirge, murmured through the bowed windows,
lifted up on the nnlted strength of a thousand voices. -
The Governor’s room was full of distinguished
- guests, and the guard of honor was standing re
spectfully around. These,- however, retired-while
the embalmers went through the tedious process of
preps*tag thebody, which had been much disturbed
in Its journey from your city. They performed
their duties, undisturbed, in half an hour; after which
a photograph of the dead was taken as It lay in
state. At 1 O’clock the public were admitted, at
tho same time with those congregated in the Gover
nor’s room. ...
THB APPEARANCE 09 THE BEAD.
He who lay there'in the gloom, It mast be said,
was Indeed but the slight remains of him who had
done so well In his high position. The embalmer’g
art Is not all that many think It Is. His features
ate not preserved. They are sadly ekanged, ft>r
death claims his own. None ean cheat the destroyer
of his prejr—or all that is good, and beautlfcl, and
genial. The eyes were sunken far, and dark gloom
was gathered round tkem. The free was discolored;
the lower part all sallow, and the cheeks very dark.
The lips were firmly, tightly compressed, and seem
ed to be a straight sharp line. There was nothing
there of the geniality, the intelligence of the face
In life; nothing of that smile which It is said he
wore for a short time after his death; nothing of
pain, but just ghastly death. The worn fea
tures, as one looked at them, made the coma seem
too large for the body It onolosed. Of tbe thou,
sands who gazed upon him yesterday and to-day
not one who has never ssen him and remember him
only as Us pictures portray, can gain any dear idea
of living Abraham Dlnooln, President of the United
States. It Is add that the ooßn will net be again
opened until its arrival at Springfield.
THE TIOITOBB
yesterday passed through In a constant stream at
each end or the catafalque. But the hurried gianoe
gave no chance for demonstrations of grief. Many
ladles deposited flowers on the eqfßn, bat, In the
general aspect, there was much the same oharaoter
of flowery contributions and other evidences of re
speot as in your city. Every glass was represented—
among them a body of soldiers of 1812—and all com
ducted themselves with deosnoy and decorum, Thw
scene, in its sombreness and quiet, was one we never
before Witnessed, and hope we never again. It
damped the most exuberant spirits, and imposed
stlenoe on the moat demonstrative. The dome was
all concealed in orape and sliver fringe andstars,
whose glitter made them seem to twinkle. The Go
vernor’s room In the vista beyond was also draped.
All Its furniture, statues, and ornaments were
covered. Through the hall before It at least eighty,
a minute passed yesterday,making a grand total of at
least 60,000 daring tho reception yesterday. Atmld
night there wasa mass of people around the hall, and
far 6ut along the streets in its neighborhood. They
remained there all night, and during the early
morning were disciplined Into long lines, four
deep. By this means more passed through to-day
than yesterday, when all was confusion. The many
lines In the adjacent streetsuU flowed into one, four
deep, which extended, from the eastern entrance oi
the hall across the eastern portion of tho Park
Into Chatham street, thence to Pearl, and'far
beyond. The sidewalks outside tbe ropes protest
lug the line were filled with a moving, swaying, tur
bulent mass*

The fat era! procession, three hours
since followed the remains of one whom the.nation
bad go much lowed towards the commencement of
the next stage off Its mournful journey, was lodes
ecrlbebly solemn. The comparative stlHsess of the.
vast multitude wbloh blocked up the; varlotfs
thoroughfares on the Hue of tts ma-roh wasterrlbly'
solemn and affecting, while the procession-ttielf
was Imposingly grand. Two divisions of State
militia, Infantry, cavalry, and artillery, wore fol
lowed by a battalion, of martnes. The fth Regiment,
which bad been on guard roand the body ever since
its arrival, were now drawn up'lit a hollow square
aronnd th<L catafalque. Inside- this square was
another gumrd of honor, Composed entirely of mi
litary and naval officers. Following were carriages
which contained the city authorities and meinbsrs
of theteglslature. * Then, oamo delegations from
Washington and other oltlcs. Close upon them
came Custom House, Sub-Treasury, and Post Offioe
employes, the officers of theßtapbiyn Wavy Yard,
the different clubs and political societies, including
the Loyal- League, the Union LMgas, and the
Tammany. Hootaty—JSppubUfMi* and Democrats
alike uniting In the unfeigned expression of la
mentation'over that enormouslosB which the nation
had sustained. The Masons foHpirefl the body,
to' the' depot to full’ force, numbering many
thousands. Indeed, this may be considered on® of
the most Imposing civlo portions of the display.
Wherever the catafalque parted, and the crowd
knew that the body was near them, all uncovered.'
The' females who orowded the wtodowi overlooking
the sad cortege wept or looked on in moatyal
silence. Even strong men wept, and one man,
as it neared the Hudson-river depot, said “ Cod,
has called to, him the best President we have ever
had 'since George Washington.” Although-; he
spoke in a subdued voice, all who stood sufficiently
near to hear him burst Into tears. ;
THU H BARBS.
Nothing could well be grander than the funeral
car .whleh had been eonstrueted to bear the re
mains of Mm for’whom the national heart was even
then weeping. On the main platform, whloh stood
about five feet Atom the t ground, was a dais some
six Inches high.' UpontMs the coffin rested, under
a magnificent canopy resting upon four pillars.
It was arched towards the centre, which bShb oo tts
epex a miniature Temple of Liberty. Heavy folds
of sable cloth fell from the, a|des of the. platform,
nearly sweeping the ground* with Its massive Bllver
bullion fringe. Festoons of the Bame mourning
color, bordered wlth tilver and festooned up with sil
ver stars, were hanging over this. A similar drapery
festooned the edge of the canopy, s 'wfifSS'*'Hvi&"trifn. :

sliver, the cowers of It being capped wish ricK"
plumes of black and white feathers, which nodded
gloomily to the bright sunshine as the spjendld
hearse moved slowly on Its sad progress. Tha In

from the centre a large eagle, with outspreaSt

of flowers. .''*yps*i

vines of varions dcnonjlnatlona, .»u<l »ttended by
immense multitudes. Tlmeforblds a description
of its great unotlon and solemnity; I can oniyWend
you a brief synopsis of the oration by Mr. Bznoroft:
MB. BAKOBOVT’B ADDBBBS.
Mr. Bancroft said: Our grief at the
crime whleh has clothed the continent -lit mourning
find no adequate expresslonln wordB, and na relief
to tears. Neither the office with which Mr. Llnoato
was invested by the anproved choice of amlshtyjppo--
pie, nor the most simple-hearted kindness of naantaf
could save hlmfrom the fiendish’.passtons of ropmt- :
Rss fanaticism. The wallings or the
tend Us remains as they are born© In solemuiytg; ;
cession over our great rivers, along the soastd 9. as;.
vend the mountains, across the prairie, to thetr final
resttog place to the valley of the.'Mfeslffsipjai -The
echoes of his toneral knell vibrate through! the
world, and the friends of rreedom. of Srorery tongue
sndin every clime, are Us-mourners. Theraem
bers of the Government which, preomlpd-ma: Ad
ministration opened the gates. Jo iaSaon, aqd he
closed them. When he went to Washington the
ground on which he:trod shodk under his fcot,
and he left the .Republic on a solid foundation.
Traitors had seized the-public forts and arsenals,
and he recovered them for the United States. 'The
capital, which he found the abode of slaves, Is Aejr
oniy the abode ,of the free. The boundless puhlig.-
domato. which was grasped at and lu a great rasa?-
sure held for the diffusion of slavery, is now ifrevqf
e&biy devoted to freedom. Then men talked a jar-.
non of the balance of power in a republic batween
slave States and free States, and ntswthe foolish '
words are blown away forever, by the breath of-
Maryland, Missouri, and Tennessee. The atmoßfi
phere is now purer than ever before, and Innirree
tlon is vanishing away. The country Is east Into
another mould, and the gigantic system or wrong
which had been the work or more than two centu
ries is dashed down’, we hope forever.
As for himself, personally, he was then scoffed
at by the proud as unfit for his station, and now,
against the usage of later years, and In spite of nu
merous cempetltors, he was the unbiassed and un
doubted choice of the American people for a second
term of service. Tbrough all theffmad business of
treason he retained the sweetness of a most placable
disposition, and the slaughter of myriads of the best
on tbe battle-field, and the more-terrible destruction
of nnr men to aaptivtty by the slow torture of expo
sure and starvation, bad never been able to provoke
him Into harboring one vengeful feeling, or one pur
pose of cruelty.
Bow shall the nation most completely show Its
sorrow at Mr. Lincoln’s death! Howshall it best
honor his memory 1 There can be but one answer.
Grief must take the obaraotpr of action and breathe
Itself forth in tbe assertionof the" policy to whloh he
fell a sacrifice. The standard which, he held In Ills
hand must be uplifted agato.hlgher and more
firmly than before, and-must be carried oh to
triumph above everything else. His Emancipation
Proclamation must be affirmed and maintained.
Events have removed every doubt of Its legality and
binding force. „ ;
Mr. Bancroft Incidentally alluded to the usurpa
tion of the potrer of the Executive by General
Sherman, saying ” From this bad act, which the
people with one united voice condemn, no great evil
will follow, save the shadow oh his own fame.” Ho
referred to favorable terms to President Johnson,
to whom It remained to consummate tbe vindica
tion of the Union, and to that Union Abraham
Llnooln has fallen a martyr. His death, which
was meant to sever it beyond repair, binds it more
closely and more firmly then ever. From Maine to
the southwest boundary on the Pacific it makes
ns one. The country may have needed ah im-,
perishable grief to touch its inmost feeling. The
grave that receives the remains of Lincoln receives
the martyr to the Union. The monument which
will rise over his body will bear witness to the
Union. His enduring memory will assist during
countless ages to bind the states, together and to
unite to the love of our one indivisible coat try.
Peace to the ashes of our departed Mend—the
friend of our country and of his race. Happy was his
life, for he was the restorer or the .Republic. He'
•was happy in hfs death, for the manner of hJS end
will plead forever for the Union ot t&e States and
the freedom of man.
Since the departure of Us remains tlie city has
become quiet. -
