you, upon good antbority, a statement that I
em assured will set at rest all doubts as to
the contemplated assassination, of Mr. Lin
coln, wbo was iuformod of the conspiracy in
Philadelphia on Thursday night, but did not
intend to change bis programme of progress,
until be was urged by bis friends aud General
Scott, wbo knew every particular of action
and intention on tbe part of tbe conctavo.
Tbey were fifteen in number, and one of them
was supplied with means, by a friend of tbe
Government of the L ulled Mates, to become
an aasocialo. He look alt tbe necessary
oaths, and disclosed the whole plan both to
the Presideut elect and to Geueral Scott.
The uaines of all the parties are in tbe bunds
of the Government. What disposition will
be made of these persons is matter of conjec
ture ; but Ike testimony against them is cer
tainly sufficieut to couvict them at the bar of
public opinion, if not before a jury.

Among those finish id or about being finished'
is Mr. Pcler Gray's, situate on tbo corner of;
Whortleberry and River streets. Tbe house

stantial building, aud will add much to the
beauty of that street.
Messrs. Rockefeller have erected a splendid
brick boosn on the corner of Blackberrv
Btreet and River alley, which is quite an
addition lo that part of the town, and we
hope lhat others io tbe vicinity will follow
their example, and tear down tbe old fabrics
and erect good substantial buildings iu thoir
stead.
Tbe proprietor of tbis paper bas also built
an addition to his brick house, on tbe corner
of Blackberry and River streets, and altered

WASHINGTON'S BIRTH DAY.
Tbe celebration of the Anniversary of
Washinotok'i Birth day was .conducted by
tbe citizens litre fn a quiet bat very ap
propriate way. Tbe country is in mourning
for the degeneracy of some of the sons of patri
otic sires. An attempt bas been matle to
dismember this bitberto glorious Union.
The (lag of our country, so dearly bought,
SO gallantly protected, and to universally
respected abroad and beloved at home, has
been polled dnwo and insulted by those
whose blood should have been sbed to make
those stripes redder and whoso purity of
patriotism should have added more lustre
and whiteness to the stars, before that
ensign should have been lowered. There
was no fireing of cannon ; no ringing of bells i
no sound of martial music which has always
hailed (ho dawning of this day. This is no
time Cor rejoicing and the people so felt it.
Hut tbe annivorsary of the birtb of a man
sucu as tho world bas seen never before er
since cpuld not be pnseod withont some
tokoo of the continued respect and reverence
which clung to him in his life, and hag not
and we hope never will fail to embalm bis
name and memory in the hearts of all A mori
cans. There could be no more appropriate
maoner of celebrating that day than the
rasing of that flig and doing it bonor.
And this was'dono.
Our patriotic young men (we wonld give
their names if our columns were large
enough) erected a beautiful hickory mast
in the centre of Market fUoare, on tbo
precise spot where, on tho 4th of July, 1812.
after the declaration of wor, tho soldiers of
that war before leaving their wives and chil
dren in homes which they could not remain to
protect, raised as a sure guarantee of protec
tion the stars and stripes. We must not
omit here to say that the thanks of tho com
munity are due to Jacob Seeshnltz. Esq., of
Upper Aognsta, for the tree wbicb be fur
nished for tbe mast.
A t one o'clock P. M., the "Good Intfnt
Fibk Compant" with tbe "Washington" and
"Coi.imuian" Kngino Companies, the Soi
DTKRs of the War of 1812-15, of the Mexican
War, and the citizens, headed by Grant's
Cornet Hand, proceeded to the flag sUfl and
raised to its heud the now American flag.
Tbe procession formed a circle round the
flag staff, inside of which were the clergy!
the soldiers of 1812 nnd the band. As soon
as the flag was attached, Captain F. Lazarus,
Jacob Ii right nnd IIe.niiv Bim.inoton, old
soldiers of the War of 1812, Christian Mar
tin, of the Army in the Mexican War,
CiiAiti.r.s D. Wharton, of the U. S. Navy
during the samo period, seized the halliards
and sent tbe Flag to the masthead. As it
reached the top the Flag ocfurled, and " the
broad stripes" and thirty-four "bright stars'"
flung themselves to the free breeze. The
most solemn silence, prevailed until the bun
ting reached tbe mast bead. Tears stood in
the eyes and rolled down the furrowed cheeks
of many of the white haired old men, shurors
in many a fight when that banner was borne
to victory, who stood within the circle and
saw its prond folds unfurl. Then arose the
the not. 8 of the "Star Spangled Banner''
from Grant's Bund and hundreds of voices
ahouted, while the cannon gave forth its
thunder for each star that glittered on the
azure field. The Lev. F. Ki.kr, then,
while
tho uncovered beads displayed the
gray bairs of age among the fair aud raven
locks of youth, offered up to Almighty God
the following solemn and impressive
rriAYER.
Eternal and onrhangealile Gud : Thou King
uf Kings and Lord uf Lords, who rulcst among
the armies ol Heaven and among the inhabitants
of the Earth according to Thy own good pleasure;
we invoke Thy Divine bemdiclion upon us Thy
sinful creatures, aa we arc assembled under the
Banner of our beloved Country, to honor Ihe
memory of that Hluatrnuia Lhieltain, whom
1 hou didst raise up to conduct our Kevolutiouary
ancestors to Victory nnd Independence.
We thank Thee, that Thou did'st spare his
life, through many dangers, and make him in
strumental in the arcompliehtnent of ao much
good. We thank Thee. Almighty Father, that '
Thou boat given Us a great country, with a glo
rious nationality, and lhat Thou hast preserved
our liberty and union, Iu, these many years.
And now we humbly beseech Thee, to con
tinue Thy blessing upon our whole country, and
grant that our Union may ie perpetual, and that
tbis flag, the emblem of our united nationality,
ma remain unsullied for all time lo come. To
this end, be pleased to curb the violence of parly
spirit and sectional strife aud unite the hearts
aud hands of all our people in patriotic duties.
Bless ihe President of the (,'nilcd Stales, about
to retire from alike, and bless his successor with
the gracious inllurncea of Thy Holy Spirit.
lllesa all others who are invented with Legisla
tive, Judicial or Executive authority. May they
ha God-fearing men, and administer our public
adaira with honesty, fidelity and harmony.
We beseech Tine to bless the various orders
here represented, and all of us here assembled
Forgive us all our sins, lilcsa our town, our
Commonwealth, the whole world, and hasten
lhat period when all nations shall know Thee,
from the least unlo the greatest. We ask it all
in the name and for Ihe sake of Ji sua Christ, our
Ited center. A men.
At its close, tbe procession re formed, by
S. Stuoii, Marshal, proceeded to tbe Cotfet
House, where uumbers of ladies bad already
assembled to cheer and encourage hy their
presence, as they always do, everything holy
aod patriotic.
Tbe Farewell Address of Washington was
then read io a truly rhetoric ityle by Rev.
Mr. Riser.
The oration was delivered by Gen. John
K. Clement. We regret, that we are unable
to publish it this week. It wag eluquent and
instructive. Nothing could have finer filled
the times aod the occasion. I'he crowded
bouse listened to bim wilb more than usual
attention, except wbtn he wag interrupted
by tbe frequent shouts of applause.
Rev. J. D. Reardo.n pronounced a feeling
and appropriate beuediclioo.
Tbe flog still waves from the niaBt head
from morning till night. The rising soo

Zr Wednesday last, will be forever memo
rable in tbe political history of onr country
s it was signalized by two very important
events the dual passage of tbe new tariff
bill, and tbe satisfactory conclusion of
tbe patriotic labors of the Peace Confer,
eoce. The whole nation will heartily rejoice
that well gronnded hope may now be en
tertained that tbe national credit will be re
stored, the treasury replenished, the languish
ing industrial interests of tbe country be occe
more rendered prosperous, and peace and
harmony established between all sections of
the Confederacy.
fjT Washington's Birthday was well cel
ebrated throughout the Northern and Border
States. National salutes of 34 gnus, ono for
each State, being fired, military paraded, aod
the stars and stripes were liberally displayed-
At Charleston, South Carolina, tbe Courier
says, that "on Washington's birthdoy, Fort
Sumter belched forth its saucy ealuto of
tbirty.four guns."
Fort Moultrie responded, but did Dot fire
so many guns as Fort Sumter ; but it is pro
bable that tbey fired six, in honor or the six
States which compose the Southern Confede
racy.
rj-JT New Coi-mtemkkit lmlay & Bicknell
give the following description of a new and
donj-erous counterfeit ten-dollar note purpor
ting to be the true isaue of the Wyoming
Dank of Wilkesbarre, Fa., which bos just
been put in circulation. It is an exact imita.
tionofthe genuine nolo. Tbe title of the
bank is in a circle at the top of the note, tbe
figures 10 in eacb upper corner, on lower left

to refuse all lC's of this plate on this bank.
The officers, without douht, will call in all
issuos of tbis plate, and causo a now one to
be made at once.
Tbo following roma.itic adventure from
single to wedded life is narrated by the St.
Clair .Sentinel, Schuylkill couuty, as occurriug
iu lhat place :
A Romantic Marriaoe. Ono of the
most Bingulur marriages, we ever hverd of
cunio oil in this Borough, on Thursday eve
ning, 1-ebruury ill). e ollen heard of great
coutrast between tbe ages of sucb patties in
such nU'uirs, but never became cognizant of a
contrast such as w6 are going to relate, and
we tell the truth ton. The happy bride
groom was about 30 years of age and tbe
bride about 11. But tho most singular cir
cumstances connected with the affair are yet
to be related. We give them as we glaun
tbcTi from what we consider pretty reliable
sources. Some time ago the lulher of the
girl gave her two hundred dollars with the
express provision that she should get marri
ed, and left her tbe choice of three named in
dividuals. In accordance witb his wish she
mado a selection and the chosen one refused
the bait. She chose again, this time succeed
ing in getting the consent of tho young man
of 30. Without much waste of time there
fore they were joined in the holy bonds of '
wedlock on tbe day above named. During
the day she was at school. Now. who ever
heard of sucb a quick transition, from a school
girl t ) a wife. We forbear giving the names
of the parties inusmuch as it is immaterial to
the pith of tbe romance, and a real "romance
iu real life" it is at that. Wo advise young
men not to break their hearts because they
did not happen to be the recipient of the fair
and valuable gift. But after all, two hun
dred dollars ain't so bud a pill to take now-a-duys,
even without sucb a fair and younthful
beurer.
C3T Kncoi-rarino. Tbe indications from
Washington all favor the idea that Mr. I.io
colu bas determined to cut looso from the
radical Republicans, and to throw tbe weight
of bis administration in tbo scale of compro
mise.

knocked his assailant down, when another
man approached bim with a knife, and in
warding off tbe blow Mr. Van Wyck received
a severe cut upon the hand. This man was
also knocked down ; aud having by this time

MtaoER and Attempted Sin ihe. About
two weeks ago, tbe wife of an Irishman, nam
ed Barney Henlen, living in Williatnsport,
suddenly disappeared from that town. Her
prol raced absence awakened suspisious tbat
she bud been foully dealt witb, and tbe sin
gular conduct and contradictory stories of ber
busliaud tended to confirm these suspicions.
On Friday last, be was arrested and impiison
od. Search for the woman wag commenced,
and yesterday moroiog ber body wag found

HOW V.K RKACIIKO 1lll:i:K.
After the telegraph office at Harriahuig
had been closed on Friday evening, it was
whispered around tbat tbe bird had down
that Mr. Lincoln had been sent lor by Gen.
Scelt and Wm. II. Seward, at tbe earnest
request of Secretary Holt and President
Itucbanan, to avoid tbe route over the Nor
thern Central Railroad and the ride through
Ilaltimore that positive evideoce of trouble
ahead was before tbem rumors of the train
having to go over high bridges that were to
be burnt ; round sudden curves and find trees
fell across tbe track ; over high embankments,
beneath which kegs of powder had be-n
placed; through dense pieces of woods,
where, behind each tree, was hid a fire-eater,
bristling with bowie knives and revolvers ;
right hy the side of large factories, at the
windows of which were "hungry mechanics"
armed with guns, each one impelled by the
idea that in murdering all the passengers on
the extra truiu be would deserve immortality,
save tbe Union and pocket a million of dol
lars as a rlirht reward of his services, from
the &nroiV-if and liberal tfentlemen from
the South." Another story' was tbat Mr.
Lincoln's presence was of the utmost impor
tance in Washington on Saturday morning at
tbe Peace, Congress. Another, that he bad
been slighted hy the authorities in Baltimore,
and tbe Republicans there were determined
to make a demonstration tbat would be un
wise, teod to provoke resentment, and make
bad feeling.
HOW LINCOLN LEFT nARRISIil'nO.
Thore are many roasons for beliovfng that
the course pursued by Mr. Lrncolo was ad
vised by General Scott.
On the arrival of the President eluct at
bis hotel, nt llarrisburg, on Friday evening
last, he took supper with his family. Imme
diately after the ladies retired he was waited
upon in the same room by two officers of the
United States Army, who had come from
Washington direct. Tbo conversation was
earnest and prolonged, and carried on in
whispers, inaudible even to the lew persons
who were privileged to remain in the apart
metit. The ofiicrrs urged every argumeut to
iuduce Mr. Liucoln to consent lo Leave Har
risburg at once, aud io secret, fur Washing
ton rid Baltimore.
Filially, Governor Curtin was admitted to
the cotileretrco, and very reluctantly the
consent of Mr. Lincoln was given to the
proposed arrungement. Soon a Tut, while
Ike bur room and parlors of tho hotel were
crowded with parlies desirous of seeing tho
guest, he quietly passed through the private
dwelling of Mr. Coverly, adjoining the Hotel,
and went to the bouse of Governor Curtin
From ibence, by Bn arrangement made with
the. officers of tbe Pennsylvania Railroad, be
proceeded to tbe sumo cur in which he had
reached Harriehurg, in company with Luocb
Lewis, Superintendent of tlio Pennsylvania
Railroad, uud Col. Lnnion, of the U. S.
Army. Reaching West Philadelphia, they
took a carriage and drovo rapidly to the
depot at Broad and Prune streets, where two
tickets were bought for Wa.ibinglun uod
berths taken iu tbe sleeping car.
Passing quietly to tho car, the President
was soon safely ensconced iu a berth, unknown
to any one on the train, savu bis companion,
Col. Lemon. When the train reuched Wash
ington at six and u half, A. M., tbe conductor
remarked to a promim-ut oppouent of Mr.
Lincoln, "Did you know you have rode with
the Presidetit ?" "No I" ho replied, in as
tonishment. Mr. Seward, standiog by, ex
claimed, "Where is be ? Is he sale !"' The
conductor, iu astonishment, replied he knew
nothing about it ; hit bad not heard of Mr.
Lincolu's being on tbe train, but if he was,
he was ou the rear car. "Oh!" said Mr.
Sewurd, "I was looking for my son and
daughter." Proceeding to the rear car, be
met Mr. Lincoln, and taking hitti to the rear
or the depot, they stepped iuto a carriage,

THE ARRIVAL OF MR. LINCOLN AT WASHINGTON.
Washington. February 23.
Mr. Lincoln arrived here at six o'clock
j- e .. ... l .
this morning, direct from Harrisburg, and
was received at the depot by Senator Seward
and Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, aud proceed
ed very quietly to Willard's Hotel.
Senator Seward received official Intelli
gence on Thursday evening, rrom reliable j
sources. Unit a most riiabolicul plot bad been j
succes6rully arranged, on the part or a secret
organization in Baltimore, to assassinate the I
1 resident elect on his arrival in that city.
Mr. Seward communicated this intelligence
to a few private friends, and it was deter
mined to despatch a messenger at once to
Philadelphia, informing him of the Tact, and
urging bim to take un earlier train, which
would bring him through in the night. Mr.
Lincoln said he had received intelligence
from Baltimore of a similar nature. A special
tiain was accordingly urranged, and be de
parted at once lor Washington.
1 1 is positively denied by Baltimoreans
t but any such organization exists, or thai
any interference would have been made with
the Presidential party. There is little doubt
(hut the feeling and sentiment of the people
of Baltimore is very bitter against Mr. Lin
eoln, so much so, indeed, that violence might
have been attempted. It is regarded as a
very wise move in giving them the slip.
Mr. Liucolu'x family, accompanied by his
suite, will reach here this afternoon. A suit
of five elegantly furnished rooms in the
Southwest corner of Willard's, fronting on
Pennsylvania avenue, have been set apart
for President Lincoln and his family.
As the news of Mr. Lincoln's sudden and
unexpected arrival spread through the citv
this forenoon, people wondered that it could
possible that OU Abe wag actually in
their midst.
At eleven
o'clock Mr. Lincoln, accompa
nied by Mr. Seward, called at the While
House and paid bis respects to Mr. Buchan
an. 1 he interview was merely one or cour
tesy, and not for business. Mr. B. received
Mr. Lincoln very cordially.
When Mr. Lincoln culled, the Cabinet wog
in session. Tbo messenger announced tbat
Mr. Seward, attended by Mr. Lincoln, was in
the ante room. This was a coup d'etat. The
President was not aware thai Mr. Lincoln
bad arrived, nor wag any member or the Cab
inet, either. Mr. Buchanan received them
in a private room, treating Mr. I.incolu with
great cordiality. An agreeable interview
followed. After making inquiries as to the
visit of the President elect to Harrisburg, he
jed the way inlo the Cabinet Chumber, and
iutroduced Mr. Lincoln (o the several mem.
bers. After leaving, Mr. Seward and Mr.
Liucoln called upon General Scott, but be
was not at borne.
At three o'clock tbe General returned the
call. He wag warmly greeted by Mr. Liu
coln, wbo expressed to bim bis thanks for tbe
many marks of attention be ha j shown bitn,
especially in detailiog an escort from his
home to the Capitol. Gen. Scott expressed
bia great gratification at Mr. Lincoln's safe
arrival, and especially complimented bim for
choosing to travel from Harrisburg unattend-
ed by any display, but io plain, democratic
wav.
Al 4 o'clock, tba Illinois Congressional
delegation, without respect of party, headed
by Senator Doaglas. called apoo Mr. Lincoln,
and paid their respects. The meeting was
perhaps less formal than would have been the
case al tbe interview witb aoy other delegates
from tbe fact they were all acquaintances aod
friends. Tbe interview between Mr. Lincoln
and Mr. Douglas wag particularly pleasant.
Among tbe callers opou Mr. Lincoln tbis
afternoon, were the venerable Frank Blair
aod big son, Montgomery Blair.

THE LATEST MEWS FROM WArillMC.TOV
Washington, February 27.
The Peace Conference to-day revised and
passed by a vote of nine States against eieht
States, the Franklin substitute fur Mr.
Guthrie's propositions.
It is onderstood that the Virginia and
North Carolina delegations were divided, and
that there was a majority io eacb State
against it. Tbis latter report, however, is
not authentic.
The action of the Peace Conference pro
poses certain amendments to the Constitu
tion, to the following effect : First, a division
of the Territories of the United Stales by tbe
line of thirty. six degrees, thirty minutes, north
of which line slavery is prohibited, aud south
of which the ttutus of persons held to labor,
as it now exists, is not to be chanced. Tbe
jurisdiction of the subject or slavery south or
.- i . . . i .l .r.
this linti la ttilran Irnm I nnnrama nfiil tha l .i. I
ritorial Legislatures, nnd is vested in the I
Federal Courts, according to the common
law. Slates hereafter formed, either north
or south of tbe liue, are to be admitted into
j the Union with or without slavery, as their
i Constitutions at tbe timo of admission shall
' determine. This proposition, if incorporated
j into the Constitutions, would remove from
j our elections a chronic nuisance, in the form
of incessant agitation on the suiijei-t of sla
', very in the Territories ; and with it would go
! one prolific cause of the; enstrangement be- i
tweeu the Free and Slave Stales. I
j Second. No more territory is to be oc-
; quired, unless by discovery or for nuvnl and
; commercial purposes, depot ,nr transit routes,
! without the consent of a majority or the 5- j
j nators rrom both sections of lb country ;
j nor shall territory bo acquired by trenty, mi
Mess two thirds voto embraces a majority of j
j the Senators from both sections. This should i
j operate us a deulh blow to lillihusliou.
Third. Tho amendment is long, nod pro- i
; hibits Congress from interfering against. !
j slavery in any State or Territory where it1
J exists, or in places under tho exclusive juris- j
; dictioti of tho United Slates, like lort.-i mil
Iduck yards ; also in the District of Culumli a i
unless witb the consent or Maryland, Yir '
giuiu, and the owners of slaves in Ilia l,s j
trict, and upon full compensation ; also. ;
- from interfering against the removal ol
! slaves from place to place, where it ulreudy
exists. It also forbids the bringing of!
! slaves inlo the District uf Culu:uh:i tor pur-
1 poses of In, flic. t
I Fourth. The "rendition" clause in the Con :
i slilioo is nut berealter to be con-trneil to i
j preveut Stale authorities from eulotciiig tbe (
delivery of fugitives from lubor. i
Fifth. Tbe slave trade is forever prohibit- :
en.
Sixth. The first, second, third and fifth of '
tbeso amendments shall not be anieudcil, or
abolished, without tbe consent of ail males : ,
and the secoud section of the first article of,
tbe Constitution, which provides for repivsen-
taliou of three fit'tbi of the. sluves, uud lh i
thud paragraph of the second section of the
fourth article, which provides for the reudi- i
j tjoa 0, ugllives l.om labor, sbll tu t be

Lx- President Tyler communicated the
proposition lo the speaker of the Houe, but
tbat body has not yet been officially inturmad
of ils contents.
Some of the Commissioners say that if their ;
Conference bas beeo productive of no other :
l good result, it bas produced a most Ineudly
I feeling among them. '
The l'euce Conference adjourned sine die ,
! at I o'clock. Many of the Ci.uunissioueis !

j THE SAFETY OF THE T.rtDT.
I There was general rejoicing this morning
! at the Capitol, among the friends or the 1'antl,
ut the announcement or the adjutmt ut ol '
tbe only point at issue between the Senate j
and tbu House, by the Committee of Confer-
: ence. Senators Cnineron and Bigler, with j
tbo eutira Representative delegation from
the Keystone Ktate, are eutilled to a large j
share of tbe honors or this victory over fiee
trade, so ably represented hero by the New j
York importers. IV'unsylvaninns should say I
to their Congressmen, "well doue, good uud i
faithful servants."
