Thelndianspolia Journal of the lath
contains the following cont.ribuTlon from
Mr. Carpenter, litiartiat:
"Mr. Chase told me that at the Cabinet
meeting immediately after the battle of
Antietam, and just prior to the issue of
'the September Proclamation, the kresi•
,
dent entered upon the liusiness before
them by saying 'that the time for the an
nunciation of the emancipation policy
could be no longer delayed. Public sen
timent; he thought, 'would sustain it—
many of his warmest - friends and sup
porters demanaed it—and he had promised
his Ged teat he would do it.' The last
part of this wits -uttered in a low tone,
and &Optand - to be heard by no one
• ebsse, who was sitting near
him. Boasted the President If he cop
rectly understood him. Mr. Lincoln
replied: 'I made a solemn vow before
God that if General Lee was driven back
from P.ou/sylrania I would crown tbo
result- by 'the, declaration of freedom to
the 'levee!
"When informed that certain ministers
In Springfield - would not vote for him. he
drew forth a pocket New Testament and
said: 'These men will know that Ism for
freedom in the territories, freedom every
where, as free as the Constitution and
laws will permit, and that my opponents
aro for 'slavery. They know this; and
yet with this book in their bands, in the
light of which human bondage cannot
live a moment, they are going to vote
against me; I do not understand it at all.'
"Here: Mr. Lincoln pansedLliansed
for long minutes—his features sue.
charged with eruption. Then he rose
and walked up and down the reception
room in the' effort to retain or regain his
self possession. Stopping at last, he
Said, with a trembling valet., and his
cheek wet with tears : "I know there Is
a God, and that Be hates inimtlee and
shvery.' , I see the atersacondng, and I
know that His hand la In it.. If, He has
a place and work-- fOr me—and I think
He has—l believe lam ready. lam
! nothing; but truth is 'everything. I
know that I am right, because I know
that Liberty is right; for Christ teaches
It, and Christ is God. I have told
them that a house divided against itself
cannot stand; and Christ and reasonsay
the same; and they will find- it i so.
erc
Douglass don't care whether slay . is
voted up or down, but God cares, and
humanity cares, and I care, and ith
God's help I shall not fail. I may of
see the end; but it will come, and I aba
te vindicated; and these men will and
that they have not used their Bibles
right.'
"Mach of this was uttered as if he was
speaking to himself, and with a sad,
tamest solemnity of manner impossible
to be described. After a pause, he re
sumed: Does it not appear strange that •
man cartignore the moral upect of this
contest? A revelation could not make
it plainer to me than that alaVerY or the
Government must be destroyed. The
future would be something awful, as I
look at it, but for this rock on which I
stand (alluding to the New Testament
which he still held in his hand,) eaPec
hilly with a knowledge of how these
ministers are going to vole. It seems as
if God had borne with this thing (slavery)
until the very teachers of religion had
come to defend it from the Bible, and - to
claim for it a divine character and sane
lion,
and now the cup of iniquity is full
and the vials of wrath will be poured
out.,,

Mr. Graham here staked a question

was Just In reach of It, Cuing at tastable
writing, when the same beam that killed
Mr. Aylett struck him. When he was

wive came upon the bodies of their
husbands. One of them WAILS° shocked
that It is scarcely hoped she. can live
through the day. - '
Another Is Insane with little hope of
recovery.
A member of the Leglalature deearibell
his fall as follows: I heard • low
rumbling sound and felt myself sinking
rapidly. I was facing the gallery and saw
It falling towards me. Fortunately It
did not reach me. I saw menserambllng
oven each other in the gallery and heard
what seemed one unearthly yell of
agony. Then came the crash and I sank
Into darkness. I found myself under a
MUM of rubbish, with a dead body
over me, a wounded man under
me and another at my side. The pocr
fellow under me said, "Oh met bat if 1
could only fear God always ea Ido now;
how wicked 1 have been all my days.
Oh God, forgive me, spare me and .I will
be a true follower of Jeans."- The man at
my side exclaimed, "Oh death where is
tby sting; oh grave where fa thy slat).
'ry 7" I heard a number of cries on all
aides of me; some were ■peaking about
their wives, 'others of their children.
while others were begging for air.- I
believe many died from suffocation, for
although little hurt myself I should
'have died from suffocation if not removed
when I was.
Mr. Jaynes tells the following touching
incident concerning Dr. Brock: I wee
flitting behind Dr. Brook and fell under
him. /kw with my mouth to his cheek,
and could - feel him growing cold. He
asked my name and I told him. he
said: "I am dying; tell my • poor wife
how much 'loved he and -thought al l
her In my last momettla."
Telegrams of sympathy and offering
aid for the sillicted are coming from all
parts of the country. A. citizen of New
York has given authority toe gentleman
here to draw on him for one thotuiand

CAC OP THE CALAMITY.
An experienced architect who has
viewed the plan of the Capitol, says the
girder which gave way wee composed of
two pieces of wood belted together,
making when combined an area of
thirteen to twenty inches. It was
formerly supported by COIIIOIIIS which
were embsequently removed to Improve
the appearance of the Hall of Delegates.
In the girder was a mortice which
reduced the available . strength to nine
and a half by twenty Inches. The fatal
error was In making interchanges with
ant examining the girders with refer- .
rence to capacity to endure IMO new
strain placed upon them.
ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.
Evening—Thera have been twenty-five
additional funerals this ' evening.
Hearses could not be obtained for all of
them, and furniture wagons appropriate
ly draped, had to be used. The funeral
of John M. 'Jazzier, page In the House of
Delegates was attended , by the. General
Assembly Ina body.. Pages of the House
were the pall bearers, and the serene was
vary affecting.
Major Calvert, late State Treasurer,
makes the following statement: I was
in the clerk's office, under the gallery.
looking through the window in the court
room. Standing by my side were hfaury. ,
Itoberta and Baldwin. I was nearest the
door leading out. A friend started to
come An. Ho remarked, "I will stay
here; It's much safer outside than In.' ,
He went outside the door and bad
hardly disappeared when the crash
came. I tugged to get " near the floor
and bad almost made my escape when I
was borne down into the darkness below.
I hardly remember anything but a con,
fused din of voices and failing timbers.
I found myself entirely covered; my left
side seemed nearly crushed, but my
right arm was free, and with this I re•
moved the rubhiah from about any head
and-wax enabled to breathe little. / inas
released in about three quarters of an
hour. My left leg Was badly broken and
left side bruised.
M a meeting today it was resolved
that the 4th of May ha observed ass day
of humiliation, prayer and religious
service. The. streets to night atilt are
as Sunday. There are active measures
on foot for the relief of the destitute
families. ••
The DiTatch, &tale Jeurnal, and
other 'newspaper offices are hong In
mourning. The tlags on the
capitol * custom home, all public build.
logs and vessels in port are displayed at

the etty are covered with emblems of
mourning.
At all the funerals the old organisa

Lightning Rods.
li l anson's Copper Tubular Lightning
Rod with Spiral Flanges, has been erect
ed on thousands of buildings in all parts
of the United States; and In a test of thir
teen years,-no instance of their Ineffi
ciency has occurred. It has received the
first premiums at many State .Fairs and
Institutes, and was never beaten in any
scientific contest. It has, been endorsed
by over five hundred Professors of Col
leges and other scientific men, as the
beet rod ever - invented, possessing all the
elements required to pretebtrtruildings
from lightning. Its power attipasaes
twenty iron rods, or a solid copper rod
an inch and a ball thick. It does not get
out of order, bat will endure aslong as
the building stands on which it Is erect
ed: Na holes aremade' In the' slate or
tin roofs, and in every respect the utmost
satisfaction is guaranteed. The attention
of Architects and Builders is respectfully
called to the merits of this rod,. Menu
